At KFC we listen to our customers to help us to evolve our menu and the choices we offer.

We have worked with the Halal Food Authority to understand the requirements involved in supplying and producing halal approved products. We are delighted that the HFA have certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal.
Another key consideration for us was that we were able to ensure that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards we employ in the UK, and we consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. We are pleased to say that there will be no compromise to our welfare standards.
We continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter, using a technique called 'stun-to-stun'. We only buy high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, who are contractually required to meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation and this will not change.
You will find that our food is just as tasty and finger lickin' good as it has always been!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why have you decided to trial halal in these stores?
Feedback from consumers has indicated that there is significant demand for halal food from KFC, and we've chosen these stores as they are in areas where we expect demand for halal restaurants. Wherever possible, we have taken steps to ensure that these restaurants are within a 7 mile radius of a non-halal store in order to cater to all of our customers' needs.
2. How long will the trial last?
There is no set time frame. We will evaluate both customer feedback and the commercial success of the trial to establish whether it is something we will continue with. During this time, we expect our trial to evolve, and some stores may join or leave the trial.
3. What does this mean for my store? What will change?
There will be no change to the great taste of our products. 'Halal' is an Arabic word which simply means 'permitted' or 'allowed'. For our chicken to be halal accredited, a verse is recited from the Qu'ran by an appropriate person at the point of slaughter. All non-halal products will be removed from the relevant restaurants. This includes pork products, bacon will not be served in our halal trial stores. The Big Daddy is the only item out of more than forty on our menu that our halal stores will not be serving.
4. How will I know which restaurants are halal and which are not?
See the list of participating stores provided above. Our halal restaurants will also feature the HFA (Halal Food Authority) logo on the door.
5. Why have you chosen my store?
We have chosen a number of stores that are located within areas where we anticipate demand for a halal offer from KFC. However, we are committed to offering our customers choice and there is a non-trial restaurant in close proximity. The restaurant manager will be able to provide you with the address details should you need them.
6. Who will supply your halal chicken for this trial?
For our fresh Original Recipe chicken on the bone, we are buying from a reputable supplier who has been audited and accredited by the HFA to ensure that their systems and processes fully comply with halal requirements. We will continue to purchase only high quality, A-Grade farm assured chicken from the same leading suppliers used by Britain's' major retailers. All of our suppliers, whether halal or otherwise, are contractually required to meet or exceed all UK and EU legislation on welfare.
7. Does this mean your animal welfare standards have changed?
No, not at all. We will always only purchase high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from the same leading suppliers used by Britain's major retailers. We remain committed to the same animal welfare standards and continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter, using a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. All our suppliers are contractually required to meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation.
8. What are the requirements for HFA halal accreditation?
The HFA accredits a significant number of restaurants and food suppliers in the UK to ensure that the edicts and requirements for halal accreditation are strictly followed and adhered to. The three main requirements for halal accreditation are:
- The animal/bird is not dead prior to slaughter
- All blood is drained
- A verse from the Qu'ran is read by an appropriate person at the time of slaughter.
9. Is KFC's halal chicken stunned before slaughter?
Yes, due to our strict animal welfare standards, we insist that all our poultry is stunned before slaughter. Our halal chicken has been accredited by the Halal Food Authority, one of the most widely recognised bodies in the UK and overseas. It allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Qu'ran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain.
The HFA accreditation which is clearly signposted in the participating restaurants allows us to offer halal accredited meat whilst remaining committed to the same animal welfare standards as before, which meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation.
10. Do you use mechanical slaughter?
To meet new HFA requirements for accreditation we recently moved to 100% hand-slaughtered and kept the HFA fully updated during this switch. There has been no change to our welfare standard and 100% of all chicken is stunned before slaughter. For more information about our Halal certification from the HFA, please visit http://halalfoodauthority.com

I have been growing a tomato plant in my balcony this season...its the first time I do this and the plant has been growing nice. But the first flower was incomplete, meaning that there is only the star shaped green base of the flower but there is no flower. It did not fall off, it was never there. I know this because there is another one coming out and it is looking the same way. Can anyone help me? The only thing I could think of is that since I am in Texas the heat is intense during the day. (above 100 degrees)...could that be it? should I move the plant inside? Thanks for any help you can give me! |
Follow-Up Postings:

What type of plant/name are you dealin with? If you planted late and this is a young plant less than a couple feet in height,then this is natural.(saw this on heirlooms) I would not move it inside, since I do not believe in treating my plants like babies. I believe in tough love, doing my best to observe the important things, like water and air. This is only my point of view. If you can share how young or old your plant is, what type of plant, as well as average direct sunlight your plant receieves, it would be much easier to talk about this specific question. I myself am glad you brought this up since I live in Texas as well and had this very same situation on a few of my Carbon and Paul Robeson tomatoes back in early March. Take care, |
I'm not sure about your specific flower issue, but the following is from a Purdue University Master Gardner publication about tomatoes. "Blossom Drop is caused by temperature extremes. Fruit With that huge high pressure area stuck over Texas for the past month and temperatures over 100 degrees day after day, I would think you should be having serious tomato problems. Plus the drought you are having, not any fun. |
- Posted by springlift34 8.5 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 5, 11 at 23:41
I apologize, I asked about the size of the age of your plant and skipped over a crucial part of your post "first flower". I dealt with this and I do not believe you have anything to worry about. Keep it watered and look at it,hope for it, and give it phoof. This is not blossom drop in the classic sense. Just a first undermatured wannabe flower,over-sized and green? It'll come. |
- Posted by carolyn137 z4/5 NY (My Page) on Sat, Aug 6, 11 at 9:08
I answered your question about the weird non-blossoms at another site where you posted the same question and gave you a link from that same site that you should find helpful, with pictures, from others who have experienced the same as you have. Carolyn |

Jamie Langenbrunner has retired after a 16-year NHL career in which he won two Stanley Cups. The 38-year-old right wing from Cloquet, Minn., played for Dallas, New Jersey and St. Louis.

Langenbrunner announced his retirement Wednesday in a statement by the NHL Players Association, thanking coaches and teammates for "helping a kid from Minnesota enjoy a long, fulfilling hockey career."

Honda Element Prices Paid and Buying Experience
ztorin Posts: 48Pricing looks good. My theory on the freebies is that it doesn't hurt anyone to ask, and they get that stuff so cheap it's an outrage. I looked on Ebay and figured that Ebay's price was about 1/2 of the dealer price, and that was assuming at least a 50% markup. Carpeted mats are a must, and they are very nice mats, good qualily, and they look incredible in the Element. They're one large mat (front/back), cut and fitted and they look very polished. I'd nix the cargo net (heard it's not really that good), and ask for the cargo bins, those are ESSENTIAL if you plan on grocery shopping EVER.
figure5 Posts: 1Hi,
I bought an Element this week, pretty excited about it. Thanks for all the posts, they were helpful in my negotiations.
2004 4wd EX w/SAB, 5spd, + splash guards, in Nighthawk Black Pearl
bottom line:
price -- $19080
destination, tax, title, docs -- $1920
$21,000 out the door, at Howard Cooper Honda in Ann Arbor, MI.
I purchased a yakima roof rack from REI, they're having some good sales right now...definitely cheaper, higher load capacity, and more durable than the honda factory rack. -
ellament Posts: 3So . . . I am psyched!!! But apparently not as excited at my two and half year old little girl who kept saying "I LOVE MY NEW CAR DADDY" on the entire ride home from the dealer (Long Island/Suffolk County/NY).
Here's the breakdown (perhaps not a good word to use on a car site . . . . but you know what I mean):
4WD EXS (side airbag), Automatic Trans., Orange (Including $490 Dest. Charge, yes . . .INCLUDING Dest. Charge): $19,500.
Installed Accessories (Roof Rack, Side Steps, All Weather Floor Mats, Mud Guards): $1,010.
TOTAL (excluding tax and DMV charges): $20,510.
I started my research exactly one week ago and became extremely knowledgeable thanks to sites like this and . . . I think . . . ended up with a great deal.
By the way . . . the included MP3 Jack is the greatest thing to be added to a car since air-conditioning! I know . . . its a small detail on such a cool vehicle, but my iPod sounds SO much better than it did in my JEEP when played through a cassette deck adapter. Truly a night and day difference.
Also . . . (one last rave for tonight), after much reading in discussion boards all over he net I found that the most practical accessories were the ones I ended up with (although there seems to be some feeling that you can get more functional and cheaper mud flaps in the after market). But even if not "essential" for you, my feeling is that these items truly "finish off" the Element's look without overdoing it (especially the Side Steps and Roof Rack).
I hope this post helps those still in the shopping or negotiation phase. -
ellament Posts: 3Actually, what was interesting was that I had first negotiated just the price of the vehicle for $19,500 (including $490 Dest. Charge) with the car sales guy, signed a bill of sale and put a $200 deposit on my credit card to lock-in that price. I made sure I had written in that I got my deposit back if I cancelled.
I then met with a different parts/service guy and had him give me his "Best" price for a wish list of accessories I might had wanted. His price was of course extremely high. I left the dealer and spent that night and the next day back on line and on the phone to many other dealers to find out their rates for the same accessories and installation. In essence, becoming as knowledgeable about accessories and installation rates as I felt I had become about the vehicle price. I'm sure it did not make the car sales guy feel good seeing me leave their dealership without actually knowing whether I was going to close the deal of cancel. This I felt gave me a little leverage.
Once I discovered what accessories I really wanted (roof rack, side step, mud flaps and all weather mats) I called the parts/service sales guy back and negotiated the price I was willing to pay (i.e. $1010 including parts and installation) and closed the deal. I was back at the dealer less than 24 hours later to bring the balance of the payment due and drove into the sunset with my new Sunset Organge Element.
While I can't say that my approach is the best or that it would work for everyone, I felt that it was all in all a rather painless process. The key to it all was my research and always keeping the negotiation civil and not antagonistic (that of course depends a lot on the person you happen to be sitting across the table from - I think I was lucky since everyone I dealt with was actually very nice and reasonable).
On the other hand I'm also sure they did not lose money on me! -
amurphy Posts: 3Hi there! We're getting ready to have a baby in the next couple of weeks and I can't sleep.. so, I'm reading these postings and now I'm beginning to get worried. We live in the Detroit, Michigan area and worked a deal today for a '04 AWD auto trans. with/side air bags. The salesman said he's been selling these at MSRP, but I have no way of knowing if he's telling me the truth. He's selling us the vehicle for invoice of $19,723 plus $490 destination plus $500 profit. Total price $20,713. And there are no accessories thrown in as "freebies". Any thought's on if we're getting taken? I will say shopping on a Monday evening there were at least 3 other interested Element buyers in the dealership and test driving while we were working on the deal. It's definitely a very popular vehicle around here. Thanks for your help!
bshel Posts: 232amurphy, I don't think you are getting taken. It depends on where you live how closely one can buy near invoice. Using consumer reports, the invoice for the EX AWD AT w/sides is $19,772 (includes destination $490 and deducts for $641 holdback). It is hard to know if the dealer has been selling at MSRP. Some dealers refuse to throw in things like carpet mats or wheel locks, although there is no labor, and the cost is quite low. I wasn't able to negotiate any "freebies" until I revealed what other local dealerships offers were for the vehicle alone, and since I wanted a couple accessories that required labor, I negotiated the price for those and then they threw in cargo tray/wheel locks.
amurphy Posts: 3First, let me thank bshel for the reassuring response to my posting. Second, I have great pricing news! After reading all these postings, I got up this morning and emailed(through Edmunds) 6 different Honda dealers explaining my situation and asking for their BEST price. I got 5 emails back and started talking to the internet sales people via phone. I drove to 3 different dealers today and kept all their price breakdowns in writing. The last dealer I went to ended up matching a price he says is below invoice. I was going to leave and keep shopping, but the General Manager came in and asked what he needed to do to make the deal happen. We're getting an orange EX AWD w/side airbags for 19,982(price includes destination charge) and they're also giving us carpeted floor mats (MSRP $150.00)! I'm so happy and just wanted to relay the good news. The orange w/side bags is really hard to find around here, but they have one in stock. And we got a price around invoice.. more than $800 cheaper than what we were ready to pay yesterday. Good luck to those looking and use the internet quotes.. they work!
ztorin Posts: 48You're post is almost VERBATIM to mine from 2 weeks ago, including pricing and included floor mats for the EXACT same truck. Good Job!! You will LOVE her !! The only difference, is I didn't have to "talk" to anyone until the night I signed the paperwork. Maybe 20 minutes total in typing emails over the course of 2 or 3 days. Flawless. Thanks again to Edmunds and their forums.
deranged Posts: 6Hello there,
Is there anyone out there with pricing experience for the Salt Lake City area? My wife and I considering the element to replace my '90 Range Rover as my daily driver. (The RR becomes the project vehicle.) Edmunds TMV price states that others in this area are paying $19,265 for an auto 4wd LX. Any help would be appreciated. -
k4gpb Posts: 2This forum has been a big help!
2 months ago...
Got my wife a 4WD EX Auto for almost #300 under invoice locally in
Raleigh area and was wondering what others may have negotiated for
on a 2WD LX 5-Speed, as I need one too!
Dealer I bought from via Internet has no inventory of 2WD LX 5-
Best, fun, practical vehicle ever owned in 40 years of driving!
Goal is to get a 2WD LX 5-speed for $16k + TTL.
I can travel 2-3 hours for a deal, from central NC

haresh02 Posts: 3Hi, I am from Nashville, TN and I just got my 2004 Honda 4W 5DR Element with side air, and the EX Sports Package (side steps,foglights,spolier,rrack) for $21,700. excluding tax and title. I am so happy because after lots of research and looking and test driving, I think we found our car! I am so proud too because I was able to let the only 2 Honda dealers in Nashville compete and give their best prices. I went to Crest Honda and they are the best!
jayt Posts: 4After considering several makes and models, I'm compelled to purchase a a new 2004 EX 4WD with Side Air Bags. Can anyone offer their recent pricing experience in Northern California? I live in Sacramento but any dealership from here to the Bay Area is fair game. Thank you for your input.
sirloin Posts: 2Found a dealer with several 2003 EX AWD W/side air bags. After two weeks of back and forth grinding, the dealer met my offer of 18,250. including destination. The price was so good my buddy bought one too. The best price on a 2004 I could find was 600 under invoice. There are good deals out there if you are patient.
jayt Posts: 4From the perspective of No Cal, that seems like a good quote. I just purchased an 04 Shoreline Mist EXS AT FWD for $18,200 + Tax and DMV. Once I got the written quote, I emailed many dealers from Sacramento to SF looking for $18,100 and nobody bit. In fact, most emailed me back and said I wasn't being realistic. Also, one of the problems up here is that nobody can get EX's with side air bags. The dealer I purchased mine from told me it was only the second one they have received with SAB. So, if SAB is important to you then you may want to go for it because other dealers may have a tough time coming up with a similar vehicle. Good luck.
zman Posts: 200I'm trying to deal on an '04 4WD EX-5 speed w/side air bags in the NY/CT area. Anyone have any recent experiences in this region?
Figure5 (post #187) got the exact same vehicle (black instead of my blue) for $19,080 in Michigan. My dealer is looking for $20,300 (before destination!), which kinda irritates me, but I've called around; there aren't many 5-speeds to be found. -

cindypsych Posts: 1I am talking to a dealer in Suffolk County, NY. I am trying to keep the price down and he has a new 2003 4WD DX model which he is pricing at 16,995 including a CD player and air conditioning. I forgot to ask him about keyless entry and alarm so I'll have to add those on, too. Do you think this is a good deal? Any suggestions or things to be aware of or be careful of?

When it comes to seafood preparation, its seems like the culinary minds at Fifer?s Seafood have thought of just about everything. Every cooking method is fair game?broiling, deep-frying, steaming, and serving it up raw?as long as it enhances the natural sweetness and subtle flavor of each ingredient. They pile platters to the rafters with hand-peeled shrimp, flaky filets of haddock, and quarter-pound crab cakes, and they shuck fresh oysters and clams to pair with classic accoutrements and a squirt of lemon. Seafood even adds an extra punch to some of Fifer?s other options, such as Angus beef burgers crowned with housemade crab dip.
To complement these maritime feasts, bartenders serve pours of liquor and wine behind a tiki-style bar, which also features more than 15 beers on tap. Drinks in hand, diners gather around the dining room?s solid-oak tables, which are surrounded by aquatic d?cor and high-definition televisions broadcasting sports.
Though it has only been open since February 2013, The Firehouse Pub has already established itself as a place with its own traditions. Free plays on the jukebox ring throughout the bar every Monday; on Wednesday and Friday, karaoke brings in the dulcet tones of patrons belting out their favorite songs. Each Thursday, corner pockets consume stripes and solids during free pool games in the billiards corner, where hanging flat-screen TVs keep players abreast of the latest sports and competitive woodworking coverage. The same goes for the TVs hanging above the bar, where bartenders pour wine, mixed drinks, shots, and domestic and imported beers. The rest of the time, The Firehouse Pub welcomes an ever-changing lineup of live DJs and musicians to its main stage.
Only one person's musical taste matters to DJs Rich Scott and Tina Bussey: yours. Whether spinning at weddings or bar and bat mitzvahs, Rich and Tina lure partygoers to the dance floor with whatever music you want, be it '50s bee-bop or contemporary hip-hop.
While grooving among Progressive DJ & Karaoke's bubble and fog machines, backlit by vivacious light shows, or brandishing Elvis-inspired props, karaoke participants croon their favorite songs. Customized touches can even precede events thanks to Progressive's design imprint, which can generate personalized invitations, flyers, and signs for each soiree.
The allure of Bill Bateman's Bistro increases exponentially with a glance at the wide-ranging menu. Locally lauded for its superlative wings, Bill Bateman's Bistro's offers glazed poultry in a variety of sizes and sauces. Combine cuisines with 10 ($8.49) of the Sweet Thai Chili Wings, or firmly uphold winged tradition with 30 original buffalo wings ($22.99). Fifty Wings from Hell ($36.99) will sate the fire-deprived tongues of fearless wing devourers and can be ordered via a Ouija board that until recently was just a game. The shrimp-melt wrap ($10.99), jalapeñoed Heat Wave Burger ($8.99), and grilled-chicken-topped California Salad ($10.99) are but a few of the numerous bites capable of complementing the various cold draft beers. For the full rundown of possible palate pleasers, see the complete menu for each participating location: Parkville, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, and Reisterstown.
Outside Severna Park Taphouse, you can hear the clink of a horseshoe, or the thud-and-slide of a little bean bag sinking into a board during a game of cornhole. Inside, the beer bar proudly displays a huge array of craft beer bottlecaps and labels along its bar, where the staff pours cold ones from 28 rotating taps and pops the tops off of more than 75 bottled selections. Proudly a family-friendly spot, the kitchen serves up a kids menu alongside adult-sized burgers, blackened rockfish tacos, and tangy homemade buffalo-chicken dip.

I bought a 2nd-hand Kemp one horsepower electric shredder 30 years ago I've been happily using to shred hay for mulch and stuff like blackberry vines for compost. It's finally packed it in. I've been looking for a similar electric shredder to replace it, but so far haven't found one. Most models are designed to chip branches, which is not what I want. Does anyone know of a good electric shredder on the market these days? That's available in Canada? |

Thank you for my life. Though I've made grievous errors in the past time and again, today, I am simply glad to be alive. One of the most painful situation in my life was when I lost my faith and had to cope with a world I didn't understand and meant less and less to me. It was very empty and I have learned that I can not rely on my brain alone to understand the world and nature. I realized I must avail myself of faith even though it is a great mystery. I've been blessed with good friend and good health. I only prayer for those less fortunate than I and have little to report except my gratitude.

Oseltamivir and zanamivir have been stockpiled in many countries to treat and prevent seasonal and pandemic influenza, before an influenza vaccine matched to the circulating virus becomes available. Oseltamivir is classified by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine.
How this review has been approached
We have updated and combined our reviews on the antiviral drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir for influenza in adults and children on the basis of the manufacturers' reports to regulators (clinical study reports) and the regulators' comments. We have called these comments and reports 'regulatory information'. Clinical study reports are unpublished, extensive documents with great detail on the trials that formed the basis for market approval. They include the protocols, methods and results. Clinical study reports have until now been confidential, seen only by the manufacturers and regulators.
Why we have taken this approach
In previous versions of this review we identified unresolved discrepancies in the data presented in published trial reports and substantial publication bias. As a consequence, we elected not to use data from journal articles but included the documents generated during licensing processes. We have accessed such data from the UK, USA, European Medicines Agency (EMA), Japanese regulators and clinical study reports from the manufacturers (after a protracted media campaign). This has enabled us to verify information from the randomised, placebo-controlled trials on adults and children with confirmed or suspected exposure to naturally occurring influenza.
Based on our assessments of the regulatory documents (in excess of 160,000 pages), we came to the conclusion that there were substantial problems with the design, conduct, reporting and availability of information from many of the trials.
What we have found
We have used data from 46 trials (20 oseltamivir and 26 zanamivir studies) in this review. We identified problems in the design of many of the studies that we included, which affects our confidence in their results. We found that both drugs shorten the duration of symptoms of influenza-like illness (unconfirmed influenza or 'the flu') by less than a day. Oseltamivir did not affect the number of hospitalisations, based on the data from all the people enrolled in treatment trials of oseltamivir. Zanamivir trials did not record this outcome. The effects on pneumonia and other complications of influenza, such as bronchitis, middle ear infection (otitis media) and sinusitis, were unreliably reported, as shown by the case report form in the trial documents. Some forms showed limitations in the diagnostic criteria for pneumonia. Regulatory comments noted problems with missing follow-up diary cards from participants. In children with asthma there was no clear effect on the time to first alleviation of symptoms.
Prophylaxis trials showed that oseltamivir and zanamivir reduced the risk of symptomatic influenza in individuals and households. There was no evidence of an effect on asymptomatic influenza or on non-influenza, influenza-like illness, but trial conduct problems prevent any definitive conclusion.
Oseltamivir use was associated with nausea, vomiting, headaches, renal and psychiatric events; these last three were when it was used to prevent influenza (prophylaxis). Its effect on the heart is unclear: it may reduce cardiac symptoms, but may induce serious heart rhythm problems. In adult treatment trials of zanamivir there was no increased risk of reported adverse events. The evidence on the possible harms associated with the treatment of children with zanamivir was sparse.
Agreement with other findings
The lack of good evidence demonstrating an effect on complications agrees with the conservative conclusions on both drugs drawn by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA only allowed claims of effectiveness of both drugs for the prevention and treatment of symptoms of influenza and not for other effects (including the interruption of person-to-person spread of the influenza virus or prevention of pneumonia). The FDA described the overall performance of both drugs as 'modest'.
Mechanism of action for beneficial effects
These findings all suggest that the low immune response with low levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is induced by the action of oseltamivir carboxylate, may reduce the symptoms of influenza unrelated to an inhibition of influenza virus replication. The potential hypothermic or antipyretic effect of oseltamivir as a central nervous system depressant may also contribute to the apparent reduction of host symptoms. Statements made on the capacity of oseltamivir to interrupt viral transmission and reduce complications are not supported by any data we have been able to access.
The mechanism of action proposed by the producers (influenza virus-specific) does not fit the clinical evidence which suggests a multi-system and central action.

I have changed the overall theme for the site to a more modern "curve" theme. It will be the one everyone uses from now on, you will not be able to alter it on your own. It will make things a whole lot easier for me to maintain.THNXthe Management
Oki thank you all for your advices ! @DMan, I climbed both Nelson Crag and Spur. I also did Huntington a few times this summer, but I guess from all the comments, I should avoid it right now. Any suggestions then to get up Huntington anyway? Although I'm expecting it to be somewhat technical and involving, what would be the "easiest way/safest" way up? Strandman mentioned Henderson ridge, is that a good option right now? I'll be carrying some rope and ice-screws.

Lone Stars and Galactic Boundaries
Name: Anuj M. Status: student Grade: other Country: India Date: Summer 2012
What exactly governs the boundary of a galaxy? Where does one galaxy end and another begin? And do lone Star systems exist which are not part of any galaxy? (In the sense that if there is a huge gap between two galaxies and a solar system exists between them balanced by the gravitational pull of the neighboring galaxies).
Thank you for your message,. You have a good question. I think that the main boundary refers to the sheer size of the galaxy. They are huge-- some have trillions of stars-- and there is a huge amount of space between them. It is even better than "what defines the boundary between one human and another?"
There may be lone stars that wander through space unrelated to galaxies. In fact, that is the very first question that I asked at a Star Night way back in 1960. They would be rare, but quite possibly present wand wandering alone through space.
Two very good questions! Sincerely David H. Levy
The boundary of a galaxy is not a sharp cutoff. Having said that, it is possible to estimate the boundary. All of the stars in a galaxy move together (more or less). So all of them will have approximately the same "red shift", that is, the same Doppler shift. So that collection of stars can be "lumped together" as belonging to the same galaxy. In addition not all stars belong to a galaxy. They can be single stars, binary systems, and small multiples. It is gravity that keeps them together, or keeps them separated.

This scrub is loaded with polyethylene beads and chemical exfoliators (glycolic and lactic acid). For best results, I will spend 1-2 minutes on an area and use it daily for a week or two and then every other day. I definitely need to use something else with this product to get results. I like to swipe my skin with a 2% BHA toner and then apply Glytone 17.5% glycolic acid body lotion on top. This combination works for me if used consistently. If I get lax on doing this routine my bumps return. Comes in a huge 16 oz tub for $44. Does this work better than an average body scrub? I think it does in that this contains a lot of scrubbing beads. But you could easily make a sugar or salt scrub at home and get similar results if you are using other products designed for KP.
This is a chemical peel and physical medi-exfoliation product for the body. I use it on hands, legs and arms. It is AWESOME!!! By far the best scrub I have used. I get very dry body skin in the winter and this takes off dead skin and leaves my skin soft. I am a nurse and wash my hands constantly and this is wonderful on my hands. Holy Grail for me!
I really like this. I don't know yet if I will repurchase due to the high cost but it does do a great job.
This is a very good scrub for those who have Keratosis Pilaris (I have the alba version which is rough, bumpy skin with no red irritation). It contains glycolic acid which breaks down the over produced keratosis and extra skin buildup around the hair follicles. This scrub acts as a chemical peel and microdermabrasion session in one, giving you a good medi-exfoliation. I have used many different scrubs and they are NOT all created equal. You cannot just buy a regular scrub and expect it to work. I use it at least three times a week and always follow up with the lotion. I also use the lotion on a daily basis. My KP is under control and almost unnoticeable. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has KP. But please note you must be diligent with it, staying on top of it is the only way to get the smooth arms you want!

This is an unscented (quite an anomaly) creamy scrub. The scrub particles are some kind of silica or something that won't melt away like salt or sugar will. This isn't moisturizing but it does leave my upper arms feeling smooth.
I wouldn't repurchase, though. I can buy scrubs that do the same thing, just as well, and for much, much cheaper. Or I can just scrub away with a loofah mitt and get the same results. If you have KP, you don't need special products, just get into an exfoliating + moisturizing routine: scrub in the shower (with any scrub, or a loofah), use a glycolic acid lotion (like AmLactin) at night and a good moisturizer during the day (I like body oils) and you'll be smooth. This stuff is a total marketing scam.
Pricey, but it works. I have those "chicken skin" bumps on my upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time I used it. I put on my Sephora Body Whipped Body Butter afterwards and my skin was so soft. This product exceeded my expectations, and I'd definitely repurchase.
This is great in conjunction with KP Duty to combat "chicken skin" KP bumps and dry rough skin. Subtracted 1ippie because of the packaging. It seems more sanitary and easier to use if it were in a convenient tube format.
I have Keratosis Pilaris (KP) otherwise known as chicken skin. I really don't know why the previous review would review this scrub if they didn't have this common skin condition (it's like little redish bumps that are just accumulations of the skin around hair shafts...it's not symptomatic in any way, just not nice and smooth looking like skin that doesn't have KP)...Apparently 50% of americans have some form of it and I guess that makes me feel a bit better, but I hate when someone says 'oh your skin feels ROUGH!' or 'what are those bumps'! ugh....until now, NO solution...I've used EVERY exfoliation product under the sun. This exfoliator is AMAZING for people with this condition....after just ONE use, it completely make my skin smooth....Although it didn't take away ALL the redness from the bumps, it definitely smoothed out the bumPINESS from the surface of my skin...I'll take ANY improvement since nothing until now has been able to help!!! Now, this is after ONE use...i'm sure it'll just get better if these results are so instant....For anyone with KP or chicken skin, use this scrub, then follow with the KP body lotion for the line...together, it is a GREAT combo to subdue the condition...it will never fully go away, but this is an HG for people like me. I compare this to the HG foot cream by DDF...it really gets rid of roughness overnight. APPLICATION TIPS: wet your skin, put it on and really work it in...don't be afraid of rubbing...that's what gets the bumps to go away...the more you work it in, the better the results...afterwards, pat dry and follow with their lotion. Awesome results.

About 2 years ago, I discovered LATHER bamboo scrub. It was expensive so I spent years looking for a substitute. I found artisan naturals, which is an exact copy and cheaper but decided I didn't like the bamboo. I have spent the last 6 months looking for a replacement scrub. I am back to the LATHER/Artisan Naturals and I am happy. (You can find either on ebay under the search "bamboo scrub")
Because I have used the foaming bamboo scrub, I know this scrub (KP Duty) is subpar. It doesn't scrub well at all and, if I had a medical skin condition, I could pretty much guess that it would not help.
If you want a heavy duty yet gentle scrub, you should try a bamboo scrub. This scrub (KP Duty) costs $44.00 and I was not impressed and, because I wasn't impressed, I was cursing each time I used this scrub in the shower. I highly advise you to reconsider paying $44.00 for a subpar scrub.

First what it isn't - it's not a building. It will be a virtual academy, linking existing providers of excellent education and learning for the hair and beauty sector and signposting employers and learners to them. The academy will work with providers to develop their programmes to meet the latest skill needs, filling skill gaps and skill shortages.
These issues are described in more detail in the Habia Sector Qualifications Strategy and supporting research papers available on the Habia website.
What's the vision for the Habia Skills Academy?
In five years time:
- Barbering skills will have survived
- Beauty therapists will be delivering IPL and laser treatments with confidence
- Services for African type hair will be more widely available
- Each salon and spa will have a member of staff able to recognise skin, hair and scalp disorders and know what can be treated in the salon and what should be referred to a GP or trichologist
- Clients will be provided with hair extensions effectively and safely
- New skill shortages will have been identified and a clear plan of action put in place
The HSA will act as the catalyst to address these skill needs. Habia and VTCT will work together to develop innovative provision, products and services that can be cascaded with a network of excellent learning providers and other partners to reach the whole industry.
In general terms the priorities for the HSA will be to:
- Raise the quality of the learning experience
- Raise the aspirations of learners by raising the skills of educators, ensuring educators can perform skills and have the know-how to teach skills at an inspirational and credible level
- Raise employer expectations of the learning experience and learners' capabilities
- Raise respect and recognition for the sector in the eyes of Government and society in general
How will the Habia Skills Academy do this?
The HSA will do this by:
- identifying and signposting this excellent provision and providing e-learning solutions through an online academy and website;
- creating a network of Centres of Expertise assessed and badged as providing high quality training and meeting industry needs and committed to cascading excellent practice in their region;
- driving and delivering professional development for educators, who will then cascade it through regional networks and from there throughout each region so that employers and learners can access the skills needed to meet client demand. This will:
- transform the quality and quantity of technical skills in the targeted skill shortage sub-sectors: barbering, African hair techniques, nail technology, hair and scalp analysis and hair removal using IPL and laser equipment, prioritised according to demand;
- connect enterprise and business skills with technical skills in learning delivery to help new and existing businesses survive and thrive
- Cascade excellent practice in the delivery of training and qualifications in hair and beauty

We now know that jellyfish in the Irish Sea are not just passive drifters but appear to live in distinctly different areas, with some close to the shore and others far out to sea. Perhaps the best example of this is the barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma octopus) that forms enormous 'blooms' in large bays throughout the Irish Sea but is only rarely seen away from the coast. These blooms occur for many months (5 months at least) and in the same spots year after year suggesting they play an important, yet poorly understood role in coastal ecosystems. Importantly, these large jellyfish which can grow up to 35 kg, may impact on aquaculture industries such as mussels, oysters and clams by eating their larval stages or even indirectly by causing the development of red tides. On the upshot, these jellyfish may also offer a unique experience to divers as they represent a floating habitat or nursery grounds for juvenile fish such as whiting (Merlangius merlangus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trahcurus).
To help assess these important impacts and opportunities, we have attached tiny dive computers or 'tags' to barrel jellyfish in Carmarthen Bay (Wales) during the summers of 2008, 2009 and 2010. These tags have recorded the vertical movements of jellyfish (up and down in the water column) for periods of up to several months (longest deployment was 29 days). We attach the devices around the stalk (or peduncle) of the jellyfish using cable ties and a small float. When the jellyfish dies (of natural causes) the dive computer will float to the surface and wash ashore. Each device has a return address on it, so all you need to do is pop it in the post and we will send you a reward for your time and effort. So far we have deployed '72' tags and have thanks to your efforts recovered an incredible '27 (36%) of them! Tagging barrel jellyfish will resume in 2011.
In 2010, we decided to try to "tag" Lion's Mane jellyfish off Dun Laoghaire (Dublin) in order to investigate the movement of these highly venomous jellyfish that cause problem to open-water swimmers and bathers in the Irish Sea. We successfully managed to attach small acoustic tags to 5 individuals (with the help of Oceandivers). This allowed us to track the movement of these animals for several hours (longest was 7 hours). It was the first time that this species was tracked! Preliminary results tend to indicate that the currents associated to tidal cycle is a very important factor in the transport of these jellyfish from one point to another. Tracking will resume in summer 2011.

Increasing marine security and facilitating trade by partnering with other countries.
The Container Security Initiative (CSI) is a multinational initiative that protects the main method of global trade — containerized shipping — from being exploited or disrupted by terrorists. It is designed to safeguard global marine trade while enabling legitimate cargo containers to move faster and more efficiently through the supply chain to seaports worldwide.
CSI is an extension of the Advance Commercial Information (ACI) program. Through ACI, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) requires marine carriers to electronically transmit marine cargo data to the Agency 24 hours prior to the loading of cargo at a foreign port.
CSI partnerships with other countries, such as the United States, South Africa, Panama and Japan, further strengthen the Agency's ability to identify, target and intercept potential threats before they reach Canada, and help to ensure that Canada's border is the last line of defence against these threats and not the first.
Increased cooperation with these countries leads to greater awareness of legitimate trade so that attention can be focused on detecting and interdicting high-risk shipments. The early identification of legitimate shipments in the trade chain ensures that they are processed in a timely and efficient manner when they arrive in Canada.In October 2005, the CBSA signed a CSI partnership arrangement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The CBSA has also been conducting outreach activities to encourage other countries to partner with Canada on container security.
The CBSA has successfully negotiated CSI partnership arrangements with South Africa and Panama, and most recently, it signed a memorandum of cooperation with Japan.
CSI builds on the strengths of the CBSA's programs, such as the ACI program, meets the needs of partner countries, and conforms with the Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade of the World Customs Organization.
CSI partnership arrangements enable the CBSA to place its officers at strategic locations in host countries. These officers perform a number of key functions, including the following:
The CBSA uses a number of tools and strategies, including advance information, intelligence, sophisticated data-collection networks and the latest technology, to identify and interdict potential risks long before marine cargo reaches Canada.
By strengthening its partnerships with other countries, the CBSA is pushing the border out and improving its ability to assess risks in advance of shipments arriving in Canada. While these arrangements better secure the marine trade chain, they do not alter current business processes or impose additional costs on the marine trade community.
CSI partnership arrangements also strengthen each country's customs processes, including harmonizing systems and processes, as well as sharing advance information, risk management practices and other best practices and lessons learned.
Through CSI partnerships, Canada is achieving a higher level of security and trade facilitation than it would by working alone.

USI kicks off partnership with Wesselman Nature Society at Howell Wetlands
The University of Southern Indiana and Wesselman Nature Society have formed a partnership to collaborate on projects and programs at Howell Wetlands. "Part of USI's mission is to join with regional partners and contribute to the quality of life in southwestern Indiana," said Dr. Linda Bennett, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. "This partnership with the Wesselman Nature Society reflects that mission and offers a wonderful learning laboratory for faculty and students." Howell Wetlands is one of several areas managed by Wesselman Nature Society, whose mission is to preserve the natural resources in the Evansville area, provide environmental education experiences, and to promote the enjoyment of these treasures. Howell Wetlands is a 35-acre restored wetland located less than five miles from USI's campus. Dr. Scott A. Gordon, dean of the Pott College of Science and Engineering, said, "With only five urban wetlands in the state of Indiana, the Howell Wetlands area is a unique living-learning laboratory and educational gem. The development of the USI/Howell Wetlands partnership, the proximity of this site to USI, and the rich wetlands habitat will result in enriched scientific learning experiences for generations of students." Under its new executive director, Kim Meadors, Wesselman Nature Society is evaluating its master plan and will focus on broadening the exposure and access to the community's natural treasures. USI will help Wesselman Nature Society in this endeavor through the engagement of faculty, staff, and students. In addition to providing technical expertise from the Pott College of Science and Engineering, other colleges and areas of expertise will be able to assist as requested. For more information about the partnership, USI, or Wesselman Nature Society, contact Elissa Bakke, USI Center for Applied Research, at 812/454-8946, or Lauren Preske, Wesselman Nature Society/Howell Wetlands, at 812/479-0771.

When i was making love to my wife i was very happy when she had one orgasm, and sometimes none, With her first black lovers she got 10 orgasm in less than an hours, and was near to collapse
When i was making love to my wife i was very happy when she had one orgasm, and sometimes none, With her first black lovers she got 10 orgasm in less than an hours, and was near to collapse
This is my new bride Jody. She is a lover of black guys, and really only married me because I will let her play when she wants. My best man was a very handsome and well hung black guy. He also had her bareback that night while I slept on the floor.
Sexy blonde lady is ready to spread for big-cocked black fellow. She stands doggy fashion on the bed and gets fucked from behind right in front of her masturbating husband. Hot wife loses control and still craves for even wilder fucking.
I have LONG fantasised about Linda going black – and now she is convinced so we are looking for a sensitive but sexy bbc to satisfy her hole/s?
I hope you guys like my photo, tell me what you would like to do to me while my hubby watches,
A good 'roast' is a girl is stolen from her white boyfriend/hubby and who eagerly takes huge black cock but is grateful afterwards and comes back for more…girls are splattered with sperm and photographed…The whole fashion is very close to organised mass cuckoldings and young black men look to emulate their heroes. I can tell you that in US there are many cute sluttle cocksuckers who attend 'black music' clubs in the hope of being 'roasted' by groups of black men most nights of the week and especially weekends when the many Yank militrary personnel come into town to party…I know as my girlfriend attends these clubs with her slutty friends, they dress like whores and compete to be 'chickens' to the best looking posses of guys on the prowl.
I sent my wife to NY for white slut training 9 years ago. Eight black gentlemen put her through 10 days of submissive white wife, black cock training! Then they assigned her to a local bull, who took charge of our marriage and further training! She returns to Denver once a year for a refresher coarse ( in the art of black on white sexual service)
When I see my wife being fucked by a chiseled black god, I don't know if I am more jealous of him, or of her. I worship my wife's voluptuous white body, as well as her lover's hard black muscles.
We always had a fun sex life and I am not as small as you. I have a healthy 7″ and still want to fuck my beautiful young wife everyday. Problem is she is now used to 10″+ guys with adonis bodies and more stamina (and boasts about lovers who are TWICE my length and thickness banging her up the shitter! I have only seen 13″ or 14″ black guys on porn films, she is fucking them in our bed!)
She looks bored at this party but after a few drinks she ride ths big black cock like a dirty slut !

Common rodents that infest our Southern Florida homes and businesses include rats, mice, squirrels, porcupines, beavers, voles, guinea pigs, and chipmunks. Rodents have sharp incisors that they use to gnaw wood, drywood, wiring, food, and even used to bite predators. Most rodents can live quite comfortably among humans finding a place to nest away from the activity of those living in the home and coming out at night in search of food. Your home presents an excellent source of shelter for them and their young, particularly during the colder months.
Major metro areas throughout our service area have a notorious problem with rats. The infrastructure of the city including tight living quarters, high population of people and an overabundance of trash create the perfect storm for serious rat problems. Rat control requires a thorough understanding of rat's behaviour, preferences and prevention methods as well as a plan as unique as the setting of the infestation.
Rats live in extremely unsanitary conditions and carry many diseases that are health risks to humans, due to their droppings and constant incontinence (rats often times use urine trails to find their way in the dark). Rats have the ability to cause electrical fires in buildings by gnawing through electrical boxes. Rats constantly gnaw on solid objects to keep short/sharpen their constantly growing incisor teeth.
Rats can be a serious problem in cold winter months when they seek food and warmth inside houses and other building structures. They can suddenly appear in large numbers when excavation work disturbs their in-ground nest, or their food source is changed. For example, rats feeding in schools might enter closeby properties during the school holidays when schools are closed.
Rats are often a problem where structures are located near waterways, creeks and canals or other places where ready water supply is available.
A mouse infestation can be very frustrating for a homeowner and store bought traps and poisons can be very easily misused and even dangerous around a home. A pest professional with a thorough understanding of mice as well as their habits and food preferences can get an infestation under control rather quickly.
Mice are more than just a nuisance they infest your home gnawing on wiring and posing a fire hazard. They also will search out food contaminating areas throughout your kitchen as they constantly leave droppings behind that can transmit disease to humans.
Roof rats are quite remarkable and agile with an adult roof rat able to squeeze into your home through a hole as small as the size of a quarter and can live for up to 18 months, but most will die before they are one year old. As their name suggests they are excellent climbers and get their name because they usually live high above the ground on tops of buildings, on roofs or in attics. They also live in sheds, garages, under floors, in wood stacks and thick grass.
Roof rats can dig three feet straight into the ground and have extremely strong teeth that allow them to chew through hard objects such as glass, cinderblock, aluminum and lead. They have very poor vision and are color blind, but they have extremely strong senses of hearing, smell, touch and taste. Rats have around 5 litters each year and each litter has 6 to 12 young in it. Roof rats can start reproducing when they are just three months old. This can make a roof rat infestation grow rather quickly in a short amount of time.
Another rat common in our Florida service area is the Norway Rat (also know as the brown rat, common rat, sewer rat, Hanover rat, Brown Norway rat, Norwegian rat, or wharf rat). They are one of the best known and most common rats. They inhabit areas wherever humans live, especially in urban areas.
If you live near water or swampland then you are most likely familiar with the muskrat. This rodent is a medium-sized native to North America.. They are usually found in wetlands and can thrive in a wide range of climates and habitats. Muskrats play an important role in nature and are a resource for humans in the way of food and fur.
Muskrats damage is mostly due to their burrowing tendencies. They can damage swimming pools, ponds or aquatic gardens. Muskrats are referred to as "rats" in a general sense because they are medium-sized rodents with an extremely adaptable lifestyle, as well as an omnivorous diet. They can also carry and transmit disease and should a population settle into your property a pest professional can help control them.
