Shipping/Payment: cash on collection want to show working before trade
- I am a bit surprised no one else has commented on this thread, there is another one for sale with similar spec and it has a few comments.
I am thinking of making an offer but it would be dependant on you shipping first with payment on safe receipt. Would you be ok with a condition like that? - i have a keyboard and a mouse which are exactly the as the other listing.
i'd rather you come and see it, just because i'd prefer it that way. - Whereabouts are you located? I am Aberdeen!
- lancaster, lancashire
- Too far for me to travel, sorry.
Do you have any more details on the specs at all? - with original box, 2 CD's HDMI to DVI converter (apple) power cables and everything you need to get started, but i do wish to retain the keyboard and mouse, because i think they are brilliant. (except maybe going through cheap batteries like nobodys business)
it is my workhorse and i have had it over a year now, its never once messed up or went slow or ran slowly, it copes with large image files quickly on Adobe Photoshop CS5, sometimes you have to wait a second with content aware fill, but it soon gets there. i was thinking about getting a SSD for it, but then i bailed and remembered i am to join a cruise ship so it wouldn't be much different, not for me anyway
it has 2 tiny pinprick marks where the aluminium has slightly chipped on the top, i cannot feel them as physical dents and i have smooth hands as apposed to builders fingers. also i dont smoke either, so it wont smell like the inside of a chip pan or anything.
i would like to swap this for a MB (pro/air) of similar specifications, please dont offer me high HDD because i am wanting to put a SSD into it. (i will add if there is need be)
I will also give you a SD card with cs5 master collection on and also Word 2011, because i am nice. and maybe windows 7 CD so you can dual boot, i have been dual booting since i got this and it has been excellent, apart from it takes a couple of seconds on startup to recognise the mouse, but it recognises the keyboard instantly, so there is no quibbles with holding ALT for your OS selector.
yes this is a repost, but i wanted to show it in the best possible light. seeing as there is now an identical one floating about with a chip on the keyboard,
Here are the technical specifications.

You could open a terminal, start mozilla in it, and then try playing something to see if it gives you any errors.

head Coach - kevin pratte
Kevin Pratte begins his first season as the San Diego City College men's volleyball head coach. Most recently, Pratte was the women's volleyball head coach at Mt. San Jacinto College. In Pratte's first season as head coach, the Eagles went from a 3-23 record in 2012 to 15-9 in 2013 and a fifth place finish in the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference. Prior to the 2013 season, Pratte recruited Taylor Kushner who was named to the All-PCAC First Team and was the leading point scorer in the conference.
Two years prior to coaching at MSJC, Pratte served as the Athletic Director, varsity girls' volleyball coach and physical education teacher at Langston Hughes Academy in Stockton, Calif. Pratte led Langston Hughes Academy to its first ever CIF playoff appearance and was named the 2012 Mountain Valley League Coach of the Year.
Prior to his stint at Langston Hughes, Pratte was an assistant coach for the men's volleyball team at the University of Pacific in 2010 and 2011. During the 2009 season, Pratte was a graduate assistant coach with the University of Nebraska women's volleyball team.

He was named to the First Team All-Conference in each of his four seasons, and was named the Press Enterprise's Inland Empire Player of the Year in his senior year. Pratte was selected to the First Team All-CIF in his junior and senior years.
Following his career at Hemet High, Pratte went on to play at the University of Pacific where his team was ranked as high as No. 7 in the country during his sophomore season. As a senior, Pratte was a starting outside hitter for the Tigers.
Coach Pratte holds a bachelor's degree in Sports Pedagogy from the University of Pacific, a California State Single Subject K-12 Teaching Credential in Physical Education, and a master's degree in Education Administration from the University of Pacific.

2007, Abbreviated
Taking a cue from Allison via Kerri, I've gone and dug up the opening lines from one significant post in each month of 2007. What a neat way to look back on the closing year!
January: Down on Big Pharma? You are not alone.
February: Lots of press recently about Merck's brand spankin' new Type 2 diabetes drug, Januvia.
March: Some very sad news today, I'm afraid.
April: Big news this week, Folks. Apple Inc.…

You might think I'm crazy after reading the title, but hold on for a second and let me explain.
Wheat is something almost everyone consumes, and many people consider it to be healthy. It seems far fetched that it would have something in common with hard drugs like heroin.
Well, it turns out that when the proteins in wheat (gluten) are digested they turn in to substances that are able to stimulate the same receptors activated by heroin and morphine in the brain.
It is also known that during coeliac disease, which is a serious case of gluten intolerance, substances from gluten are able to cross the digestive tract and into the body.
Amino acids, peptides and proteins
Amino acids are the building blocks of the body. When they are linked together in large numbers, they form peptides and proteins.
You can think of peptides as a bunch of linked amino acids, sort of like beads on a string. Proteins are simply very long peptides that can be folded and joined into massive structural units.
In other words, amino acids are linked to form peptides, and proteins are simply very long peptides.
Meet gluten, a possible cause of wheat addiction
In the digestive tract there are things known as enzymes which help with the breakdown of food.
Some of these enzymes cleave proteins into smaller peptides in order for us to digest them. You can think of those enzymes as scissors that cut proteins (like beads on a string) into smaller pieces.
For example, the imaginary protein A-B-C-D-E-F-G gets cut by an enzyme in to A-B-C and D-E-F-G.
Well, a bunch of researchers decided to cleave wheat glutens with digestive enzymes. When that was over, the glutens had formed a bunch of smaller peptides.
The next thing they did, was put those small peptides on to so-called "opioid receptors", which are receptors in the body and brain that are affected by natural substances in the body such as endorphins, but also by opiate drugs like heroin and morphine.
It turns out that those peptides from wheat gluten are able to activate those opiate receptors (1).
The theory is, that those peptides are able to pass through the digestive tract, in to the blood stream, through the blood-brain barrier to activate those opioid receptors and cause addiction.
Of course, the addiction wouldn't be nearly as strong as heroin or morphine addiction, but it might still exist even though the effects are subtle.
Meet the opiate-blocker: Naltrexone
A side effect of one drug that is used to treat alcoholism and opiate addiction, is that it causes reduction in appetite and reduction in calorie intake.
Dr. William Davis believes that this is because this drug also blocks the effects of those opioid peptides formed from gluten, just like it blocks the effects of other opiate drugs.
There is also some evidence that gluten consumption can exacerbate mental disorders like schizophrenia in some patients, which is another indicator of it being able to cross the blood-brain barrier (2).
People with coeliac disease, a severe form of gluten intolerance, are also much more likely to become schizophrenic than the rest of the population (3).
I think the case for wheat having addictive properties is pretty strong, especially when you factor in all of the anecdotal evidence of people craving foods with wheat in them.
Ever crave and overeat on pizza, donuts, cakes, cookies or wheat bread?
It may not be simply because of the sugar.
I believe that wheat helps cause these unnatural cravings and that it is a major player in the development of junk food addiction.

Ok, Ya'll got me scared to death about leaf rollers. I'm growing canna's for the first time. Is there a way to prevent these maurader? Do these catapilliars turn into some kind of moth or butterfly that lay the eggs? if yes, what do they look like so I can be on the look out!

Will the leaf roller effect plants in the chicago area? Some say that they don't like areas with winter freezes and there are reports of them in Ontario.Hmmm. I have alot of cannas for the first time this year and I'm now getting very worried... WeatherGuy |

I use Sevin bug spray. I heard that they do not go to States where they have harsh winters but I have had them in the past and winters here can get pretty harsh. |
try finding some Bayer advanced tree& shrub insect killer for your leaf rollers.you can unroll the leafs remove the worm to the ground and birds will eat them also.You can hand control with no sprays if not alot of cannas.I tried a preventive measure this time.after the last frost.I removed mulch and stuff and applied fresh compost& mulch and sprayed the ground.they overwinter their eggs and they hatch in March here or earilier.so far so good.I forgot to do my bengal tigers so they have some,but no new since sprayed.I purchased at lowes |

Necchi 6011 - where does this part go ?? I have a Necchi 6011. I took apart the assembly that holds the needle in place, to clean threads, etc. I have it all put back together but have one piece left over. For the life of me, I can't figure out how/where it goes. So, I purchased and downloaded the manual hoping to find a picture and/or instructions, but I could not. I have shown my problem in the pictures put on Dropbox. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17492393/SewingPiece/Necchi 6011.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17492393/SewingPiece/All the Pieces.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17492393/SewingPiece/Where they go.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17492393/SewingPiece/The Orphan Part.JPG Perhaps one of you gurus can help me solve this problem ???

Oh, I should add...if your manual is a 'users' manual, you should do a Google search for a "repair" manual for your model machine. I d/l'd for free 3 repair manuals that show all parts and instructions for repair. |

So I was looking into a new mower for the 2011 season. I won't go into specifics about why I arrived at my decision to select a John Deere or a tractor vs. ZTR, but it was an internal debate over the last year or two as I realized my current tractor was on the way out.
Anyway, I was thinking of purchasing an X320 until I began to read reviews on CTR describing transmission problems owners had been encountering. The 300 series use TuffTorg K46 & K48 transmissions while the X500series only states that it is an automatic transmission w/ diff lock. Does anyone know what Deere is using in the X500 series? Do I really need to spend an extra $1600.00 simply to get a reliable transmission? I checked out the specs for the 2011 lineup and they seem to be using the same transmissions as the 2010 models that owners were complaining about? |

While the X3xx and X5xx share the same frame the X3xx is a lawn tractor while the X5xx is a garden tractor. To answer your specific question, the X500 has a Tuff-Torq K72 transaxle which has a diff lock and you can change the oil where the K4x is not serviceable so you can't. Here is a transaxle comparison for you... Bear in mind that JD sells many thousands of the X3xx series and has for years and provides a long warranty on them. Those few who post about transmission problems are a very small percentage of X3xx owners and when pressed often admit that they are using their lawn tractors to go a garden tractor's job so it's no big surprise that they had transmission problems. So the question you need to answer is... how much property do you have, what is the terrian like, and what do you want your new toy to do? |

- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, Dec 2, 10 at 11:02
Every complaint I've read about the transmission in an X3xx has ALWAYS been the K46 in the X300. I can't recall reading a single complaint about the K58 in an X320. You might want to review your research and check that. |

The K-72 is a great tranny and easy to service . I use the wheel lock feature every time I use it. |

- modifying the diagram to suit our needs since we do not require a reverse switch (as the transmission has a forward / reverse feature);
- circuit calculations – working out the current going through the various components and the ratings required; and
- bench testing the Curtis Controller.
Checking Out Curtis Controller Manual On Page 14
The first part of the day was spent working out how everything will be wired up. The quickest way was to look at the Curtis Controller manual for the Curtis 1209B controller. There is a wiring diagram on Page 14 of the manual. The thick lines represents the higher voltage cables. The thin lines represents the lower voltage and lower current wires.
This wiring diagram facilitates forward and reversing of the series wound DC motor. This is made possible using a reversing contactor. I believe the reversing contactor works as follows:
- when the switch is selected to F for forward, Armature A2 is connected to Field Winding Terminal S1. Field Wining Terminal S2 is connected to M-.
- when the switch is selected to R for reverse, Armature A2 is connected to Field Winding Terminal S2. Field Winding S1 is connected to M-.
I believe that is how the reversing contactor works.
Modifying The Wiring Diagram To Suit Our Needs
Since, we do not require the Series Wound DC Motor to go reverse due to the buggy having a transmission with a forward and reverse gears, we could remove the
- forward and reverse switches and
- reversing contactor.
A 48 to 12 volt DC converter has been added.
Since, we are going to use 48 volts for the traction batteries, we can start making some calculations. We also know that the Series Wound DC Motor we are using has a power rating of 9600 watts.
Circuit Calculations
With the motor having a power rating of 9600 watts and the traction batteries delivering 48 volts, we can work out the current rating of the circuit using the formulas from Day 2.
P = VI can be re-written as I = P/V = 9600 watts /48 volts = 200 amps
This means the
- power wiring; and
- main contactor
needs to be able to handle (be rated for) 200 amps or higher. The power wiring fuse should be 200 amps.
According to page 10 of the Curtis Controller manual for the Curtis 1209B-6402 controller, a precharge resistor of 620 ohms and rating of 10 watts is recommended.
The 12 volt circuitry is going to be determined by the main contactor used. In this case, the main contactor must be able to handle 200 amps, but that is only for the traction side of things. To control the contactor, usually a lower voltage and current is required. The contactor that we had in mind is the Nanfeng ZJW200A Contactor which is triggered by 12 volts and 1 amp. This means the
- polarity protection diode;
- key switch;
- interlock; and
- throttle micro switch
must be rated at 1 amp or higher. The control wire fuse will be 1 amp.
Bench Testing The Curtis Controller
Page 35 of the Curtis Controller manual for the Curtis 1209B controller has a suggested way of bench testing the controller prior to installation in your Electric Vehicle.
We had a power supply capable of delivering 48 volts and a globe that could handle up to 50 volts. We did not have a main contactor and bypassed it. We did not have a pot box, but instead a rheostat. Unfortunately, this was not rated at the required 5 kilo ohms, hence, we were not able to bench test the Curtis Controller. The rheostat had a resistance of 20 ohms which is not suitable for this controller.
Lessons Learned From The Theory Component Of The Third Day Of The Petrol (Gasoline) To Electric Conversion Experience At CITace?
The main lessons learned were:
- have access to the correct manual for the controller you are using;
- know the rating of the motor you are using;
- know what voltages you are using;
- apply the formulas to work out current ratings; and
- get the correct components when bench testing.
When doing your Electric Car Conversion, it is imperative to have the wiring diagram sorted so that you can do the various current rating calculations. We used some of the formulas learned from Day 2 of the gas to electric conversion experience. The practical part of Day 3 discusses the practical component of the day where we struggled with the drive train.
This is Crazy Al signing out.
P.S. Please check out the practical part of Day 3 of the Gas To Electric Conversion Experience.

We recently got granite countertops installed and have some questions about cleaning and sealing. Our counters are Cleopatra - not a stone I had heard of before, but it's similar in color and pattern to what I've seen called Kashmir Gold. I've heard that the lighter the stone is in color, the less dense it is and the more it has to be sealed. Is that true? It was sealed by the fabricator but I can't seem to get a straight answer from the fabricator on how often I need to seal it and what I should use to clean it. In doing online research, I found lots of different answers on how often it needs to be sealed, and that I should use the same sealer used by the fabricator when I re-seal it - that it would be disastrous to use a different one. Does this make sense? As for cleaning, my research showed I should NOT use soap, but the fabricator said to just use soap and water. So I looked for granite cleaner and found lots of options, but some, like Tile Guard at Lowe's, says it should be used with Tile Guard sealer, so I'm concerned about using it. The fabricator said they used Tenex to seal our counter - should we see if they have a granite countertop cleaner as part of their product line? Where would I purchase Tenex sealer and cleaner?
I am so nervous about staining the granite - it was expensive! So I want to care for it in the right way. After having it for 6 days, I already think I see a spot that could be a greasestain... Thank you!!!! |

The rest of the December recaps are coming as surely as another year of banal typing from America's least-ambitious diet-blogger, but in the meantime, here is my latest attempt to cobble something together using Photoshop instead of rubber cement and old copies of Sassy: the 2014 Sadvent Calendar.

KERF Recaps: Reboot Edition, Posts 146-148
Kathy's Wednesday post covers what she did last weekend, but in a weird, braggy, accusatory tone:
How was your weekend? Cold? Hot? Rainy? Full of ice cream and sprinkles and hamburgers and craft brew?
She starts out talking about how the amazing cheese dude at the local Whole Foods won some contest dubbing him the best at knowing about cheeses. He's starting his own cheese counter (not "shop," Kathy) inside of a coffee shop for the burgeoning Charlottesville, uh, scene that wants to drink espresso with the smell of feta filling its nostrils.
Kathy has a lot of feels about the cheeses. One of them has "texture" and "sweet and sour flavors" and she ate it with sour cherries. She liked the second's "feta-like texture" and had it with cider — the kind with alcohol. The third, with more beer, was
A French stinky cheese that was my favorite of the day! Kind of brie-ish in texture with a really smooth buttery mouthfeel.
The fourth was a "slightly bacony with notes of caramel" cheddar with pepper jelly. The fifth was a "nutty and slightly sweet" soft cheese that they ate with more jelly on a $10 ridiculousness called Cranberry Hazelnut Raincoast Crisp, which gets a resounding one star on Dean & DeLuca. The last one was a blue cheese "atop a chocolate cover [sic] fig and a sip of Bell's Porter" that was described as having a "vanilla butterscotch flavor with a butter texture."
That evening, they went home and drank something the local Mexican place calls "Spice-a-Ritas." Kathy can't even gather her wits to tell us it's made with white tequila, roasted and soaked jalapenos, and lime, only promising that she'll be able to describe the whirlwind of making such a creation next week.
It actually looks pretty delicious, if only because on it gathers together more spicy ingredients than we've seen for the entire run of her silly blog. And it would need to be, for this is what followed it:
That's more chicken and beans "bake," those canned green beans they've been working their way through since last year, salad, and un-sellable rolls from the fakery.
On Saturday morning, she had another one of those things where she puts an egg on a hamburger bun from the fakery and puts nut butter and jelly on it and says it tastes like a jelly donut.
Can't eat enough peach!
Morning-person mom dragged her reluctant child to the farmer's market to buy flowers and "a variety of things."
And returned just in time for nap.
It rained, and Bath Matt worked from 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. so she
took advantage by working hard myself so hopefully we could both take Sunday off.
She doesn't say what she did, so we'll just assume throwing things into the rice cooker and running away with her hands over her head before it gets up to "porridge" setting and trying to get reruns of "A Cervix-Thinning Story" on her iPad or something.
That night, they went to Champion Brewing Company with friends because they are desperate to show the world that they drink a heavy variety of fun-causing trendy-ritas known only to the elite foodies of the world.
we were ready for a little excitement …. and too many beers had come and gone in our absence!
While Bath Matt looks hairy and intoxicated here
Kathy looks about as good as she ever has,
and please, let's not turn this into Alien Hunting Pawn Stars: Lightroom Edition. Let's pretend she's at her "goal weight" — she still has nothing interesting to say. She could be 126 minus ten pounds and still not know how to properly write, observe, or engage in observation of oneself or the world. Anyway, they came home and made their own pizza with their own onionless, garlic-less tomato sauce and OMGLOCALYOUGUYS mushrooms and they ate it standing up because they were just so entranced by their child.
On Sunday, Kathy fortified herself with
yogurt, berries, peach, chia seeds and torn pieces of Apple Scrapple bread
so she could go shopping for a new pair of silver cork platform shoes like the Modabella ones from Marshalls she wore
to the GROUND …. Can't find them online! Please help …. I'm looking for cork-sole, silver, sparkly, super comfy sandals with a tinnnny bit of wedge in the heel.
This might just be such a sad plea for help that I have nothing disparaging to say about it. I mean, I guess they could, technically, be worse.
For lunch on Sunday, she made a tomato sandwich and a salad with a tin of smoked herring on top of it. Then, she went to a "power yoga" class and came home to a dinner prepared by a dude who already had to work every day that week, including the previously mentioned 14-hour day the day before.
Roasted tofu and vegetables with cheese both sound rather grim, but I guess I'd just be worried about if my dinner was going to shatter onto the floor in half a second at this angle:
Kathy's Thursday entry is another fascinating guest post from husband Bath Matt on what's going on in their unsealed, unfenced, raised-bed gardens where onions are not welcomed but the neighbor's cat is.
It starts out with Bath Matt whining about how he should have done said post a while ago
because the transition photos are impossible to compare!
Why, Bath Matt? Why is it so difficult to describe the process of plants that are small transitioning into larger ones? He shows some photos from a few months back, then shows ones from recently. Amazingly, the plants are bigger. Wow, Bath Matt. You're the fuckin' squash-whisperer.
Early morning shade makes it hard to distinguish anything
Shut up, bro. Learn to write or to photograph.
but it's clearly booming! In the front you can see that the two types of kale I planted last fall (that's right, in about September of 2012) are still going strong. They have a lot of woody growth, but the leaves still taste good so I can't bear to get rid of them.
I can't keep mint that someone else waters alive, but isn't Bath Matt — "owner" of an establishment that sells food — basically saying that the garden is growing a bunch of stuff that's unsuitable to be served but that he doesn't want to get rid of it because… I'm not sure, because any kind of head of kale has been less than a dollar any time I've been in supermarkets across the country.
But it's not like Bath Matt is the most comfortable with anything he's growing, as he says about that squash that's showing up in every dish these days:
It's a little weird that 95% of the plant is outside of the bed itself
Yeah, dude, because you're planting it in a raised bed. Go to an actual farmer's house. They have shit in rows. And they're not standing there looking at them declaring things "a little weird" unless the tomatoes come out plaid. Or the farmer's wife is putting a cruller on her salad.
These are some of the wan, haggard vegetables from the Younger-Smugsons' garden. I don't garden, but maybe they need some moisturizer.
He also calls his okra
Such a strange plant.
And then does one of those strange flip-flops that Kathy does, where he says one thing and then exactly the opposite. For instance, he says that things take a really long time to ripen on their property because of the sun and the trees, but then talks about how gnarly the Mortgage Lifter heirloom tomato plants were:
Each plant yielded about 10 big tomatoes, which seems kind of pitiful but that's the way it is with heirloom varieties …. My goal is to hit that sweet spot with the heirlooms where they have amazing and unique flavor, but are still decently productive.
Heirloom tomatoes are delicious and everything, but I'm tired of feeling obligated to pretend like people who grow them or appreciate them humorlessly are war heroes or something. Perhaps more importantly, I can't help but stick my tongue out like a child imagining him shouting out this line about his stupid heirloom tomatoes at some microbrewery.
Finally, on Friday, Kathy promises "New Products for Beauty" and produces five paragraphs about
1. Earrings Bath Matt got her for Mother's Day from a lady who has a booth at the Charlottesville farmer's market:
….Amy out [sic] our local farmer's market has an amazing eye for creating vintage-y pieces with a modern flair. Or is it modern pieces with a vintage flair!?
I don't know what it is. It's either old-looking things that look new or new-looking things that look old. Neither one of those options make any sense. That's like asking for an onion-free onion soup, or a dietician's certification for someone who wants to not work and get her nutritional information from the cover of a Real Simple magazine.
I guess that's okay, though, since her Etsy shop advertises three pairs with "surgical steal" posts for $25.
Kathy likes them
Especially since I can no longer wear dangles or they get pulled out by grabby hands!
See how much they suffer at the hands of that cruel baby? Almost a year old and he still wants to grab at things that catch his eye? His parents pay $250 for a high chair and 80 strollers and he still needs stimulation? WTF.
2. necklace her sister got for all her bridesmaids with an initial stamped in a circle sold at a North Carolina chain with a location near Davidson because, have you heard? Kathy and Bath Matt went there and they love it so much Kathy bought the visor. Even though it's not Duke. But we don't discuss that. Anyway the necklace looks like some kind of crude product from a kit someone gets for Christmas.
I love the simplicity of it. It goes with everything!
I guess being simple and requiring no dishwashing are Kathy's two requirements for everything. Just like someone who eats only take-out and lives in a pay-by-the-week motel.
3. A $49 purse from Etsy — another bridesmaid gift — made by some chick in Mankato who uses the word "convo." Kathy says the bag
has become my new date night purse. A refreshing change from the giant diaper bag I usually carry around.
Hold on a minute. Kathy means to say that she has to take a large bag around when she takes her 1-year-old out into public, so that she can attend to his basic needs of feeding and not spending the day covered in bodily fluids? Jesus. That's awful. How does she do it? Girlfriend, please, take like 26 more date nights.
4. A $22 hair conditioning spray from Birchbox that, as far as I can tell, she purchased because it fulfills a deep need for her to spray perfume on her hair:
I have always longed for the curly type of hair that loves to be spritzed with yummy smelling hair products. Sadly my very straight, fine hair looks greasy with almost everything in it…. it's the SMELL that has me using this daily. Love it.
5. More hair stuff: A $19 Wella shampoo for "fine" hair and an $11 "self-warming mask" she calls "magical!"
This post is sponsored by my sister! … Again, it's the smell that draws me in.
It's funny how Kathy falls all over her exclamation point key to point out whenever she buys a local cheese, but scatterbrainedly just happens to forget to mention whenever she loves a product, say, made by Procter & Gamble, which Wella has been for 10 years.
Remember how she said, uh, less than a month ago, that one should pick snack bars only with "ingredients you can pronounce"?
The same, I guess, isn't true for beauty products, as Wella's stuff — promoted heavily for having things like "hydrolized silk" also has such crunchy and locally sourced ingredients as "fragrance," methylparaben and tetrasodium EDTA, all three blasted by at least one site as among the top five chemicals to avoid in cosmetics. Other awesome ingredients include the antistatic ingredient Polyquaternium-10, viscosity-increaser Trihydroxystearin, foam-producer Cocamide MEA, and Sodium Xylenesulfonate, which helps water dissolve other stuff. If using that kind of stuff is okay, Kathy, and I'm not arguing that it's not — isn't it funny that you promote it when you also "own" a franchise scuffin-monger whose own corporate ad copy promises, on store sites across the country: "And we only use pure and simple ingredients in our products. You won't find additives, preservatives or any ingredients you can't pronounce."
That kind of stuff is either important to you or it's not, Kathy. Or it is — some of the time, only when you want to brag.

On Thursday, June 4, 2009, Glenn Beck devoted his entire show to attacking ACORN with what seemed to be reruns of past segments. But – lo and behold! – the show also included Beck's get-together with BFF Bill O'Reilly from May 28 in which they seemed to finally be admitting that their evidence of any ACORN badness is pretty thin. But they didn't let little details like lack of proof or factual verification stand in the way of a good smear. Beck even threw the Obamas into it, while also admitting it was pure speculation. Rock on!
Most real journalists catch wind of some corruption or something out of whack with some company or organization, do some investigating, and then, if it proves there's something there, report on it. But Beck and O'Reilly, along with many of the Fox Newsies, have decided, for whatever reason (bigotry, desire to keep the minorities powerless, greed, pick one or all), that ACORN is corrupt (see my previous posts here, here and here). And, having made that decision, they reported on it. Then they belatedly tried to investigate it and got nowhere. And they reported on it some more. So, they then had ACORN people on to talk about it, got nowhere, but kept reporting on it. Now, according to them, the only way they're going to get their proof of ACORN's corruption is if ACORN provides it to them by opening its books. Remind me again why ACORN – or any right-minded organization – would do that? (Beck also admitted, however, that they might be able to prove something if some other news organizations were to join forces with FOX in its vendetta – basically do the heavy lifting.)
O'Reilly pontificated that President Obama "got into the Chicago left-wing machine of which ACORN is a part . . . ."
"Yes, Jeremiah Wright," Beck helpfully interjected.
"That's when you saw Reverend Wright," O'Reilly trudged on, "When you saw the other nuts from the Weather Underground, he was in there. Now, some people believe that he believes the way they do, some people believe that. Some people say, 'No, he was just using them to advance his career.'" I'm not gonna argue whether President Obama had dealings with Ayers or ACORN or not – I happen to believe that, even if President Obama had involvement with ACORN, so what? He was a community organizer; ACORN is the largest grassroots community organization in the country. And Bill Ayers, former radical or not, is a well-respected, nationally known educator.
"That stuff is riddled in his past," Beck said indignantly. "And his wife is much more . . . I do, I don't have any evidence, it's what I believe." Rock on!
"But you can't prove . . . ." O'Reilly interjected.
"Bill, I don't think anybody is going to be able to prove any of this stuff until the media pressure becomes so overwhelming that this organization cracks open," Beck said earnestly.
"This theory . . . didn't come from the right, it came from people inside of ACORN. They are left, they're left, they're inside," Beck insisted. But if you have these "inside" contacts, how come all you can do is speculate? Could it be because these "inside contacts" are two disgruntled, not very forthcoming former ACORN board members who filed a lawsuit against ACORN without authorization? Could it be because you use people like Anita Moncrief – who never even worked for ACORN and was fired from Project Vote for theft – as a credible source? And isn't it a bit of circular logic for you guys to rely on a thief like Moncrief to prove ACORN is corrupt, but you call ACORN corrupt because it has employees who stole from it by engaging in voter registration fraud?
"But it's the bigger picture of how powerful are these people, what is their intent?" O'Reilly speculated, then, answering his own question, "I'll tell you what their intent is – to make us into Denmark, to make us into a cradle-to-grave entitlement where everybody has the same, take from Beck and O'Reilly, give to Lenny and Squiggy, that's what they want. Now if Lenny and Squiggy are heroin addicts, who cares? It doesn't matter, you take from the people who work hard, you give to the layabouts." O'Reilly, here's a tip, for future reference: If you want to avoid being called "racist" and "bigot," you might want to re-think that whole "poor people are heroin addicts and layabouts" thing.
And then Beck engaged in his closing monologue which seemed to be contemporaneous (not included in the video below): "ACORN fell . . . right into our view during the campaign. Accusations of voter fraud raised a lot of eyebrows, they had a lot of coverage and they weren't too happy about it." (Emphasis mine). Should I erect a billboard across the street from Fox News? It's VOTER. REGISTRATION. FRAUD. As far as we know, nobody voted fraudulently as a result of fraudulent registration. Mickey Mouse didn't show up with an ID and cast a vote.
Beck went on to say, "For many of our competitors on other networks, the election and inauguration of Barack Obama put the ACORN story to bed. Perhaps it's hibernating in the halls of NBC and CBS and the NY Times [if so, maybe Fox should follow suit] – they don't seem to have any real interest in learning the truth about who's behind this organization and how corrupt it may be."
"I guess . . . they don't really care about how this organization hopes to change the way this country exists," Beck continued earnestly. "Well, I do care. Fox cares. I think you care. Our efforts have led to accusations of racism . . . whatever. Left-wingers and ACORN supporters have accused us of covering the story to fire up your anger, and, you know, hope to get better ratings . . . whatever. All the charges that really have no merit. But the best offense is a good offense – for me, uncovering the truth is really all that matters here. Seeking the truth is all the justification that we need. For those who question our agenda, I offer this: We'll continue to investigate.
"ACORN, open the books, let us see all of the tentacles, ignore our calls, fail to answer our questions if you want, stand in our way if you have to, but getting between Americans and the truth is not really a good place to be, because Americans will finally get the truth."
Comment: I'm really impressed by how boldly you asked ACORN to throw open its books so you can hope to be able to prove something they MIGHT have done that you've already reported that they DID however many times – and now you need ACORN itself to help you pull your story from the ashes? You know, there's a big difference between uncovering the truth and manufacturing what you want the truth to be – and at this point, you guys must be pretty desperate to uncover something or you're gonna look like terrified, up-the-creek-without-a-paddle fools.
All in a day's work on Fox News. Rock on.

Physical therapy is a health care profession that focuses on the science of movement, including the preservation, development and restoration of optimal function. Physical therapists provide evaluative, rehabilitative and preventative health care services designed to alleviate pain, prevent the onset and progression of disability resulting from injury or disease, and promote overall fitness and optimal quality of life. Physical therapists work with individuals of all ages who demonstrate movement dysfunction or the potential for such dysfunction or the neurological, musculoskeletal, sensorimotor and cardiopulmonary systems.
Physical therapists practice in a hospital setting or provide services in out-of-hospital settings through home health agencies, in nursing homes, in industrial settings, through public health agencies, in private physical therapy clinics, in public schools and in a variety of other nontraditional settings.
Job opportunities for physical therapists are strong and are expected to remain so. The average salary for physical therapists is $52,000 and will likely increase as more individuals obtain doctoral degrees.
The Capital University program prepares students to enter graduate school in physical therapy at either the master's (MPT) or doctoral (DPT) level. Students may choose a major in biology, exercise science or athletic training with an emphasis in physical therapy. Advisers are available in both the biological sciences and health and sport sciences departments.Course requirements for all majors and minors can be found in our online course bulletin. In addition, an internship in physical therapy is required, as are introductory courses in math, chemistry and physics. Internships are valuable in helping students to understand the field of physical therapy and to be fully prepared for the graduate school process.To enter the field of physical therapy now requires a master's degree or doctorate in physical therapy. A wide variety of graduate programs exist in Ohio and surrounding states. In recent years, students from Capital University have been accepted into graduate programs at The Ohio State University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. To be successful in graduate admissions a student needs to complete the required courses, maintain at least a 3.2 gpa and score highly on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).

Sometimes Letty would complain that John, a vegetarian, had insisted she cook vegetables for herself. "Letty is a notorious junk-food junkie," Watts says. "After he'd leave, she'd confide, 'I don't care for vegetables. I just buy them to make John happy.'"
Watts found Letty to be a spry, opinionated woman who wasn't afraid to share those opinions. He discovered her outspokenness shortly after he moved in, when she let him know that he wasn't keeping his yard up the way his predecessor had.
"The woman who lived here before had been there for something like thirty years," Watts says. "She had been a big gardener, and all summer long her backyard was one big floral display. I didn't realize it until I went to visit Letty, but her sunroom faced that backyard. So for all those years she got to look at those flowers, then along comes someone new and her world's turned upside down."
Despite their rough beginning, Watts came to like Letty. "Actually, she's something of a battle-ax," he says with a laugh. "That's not bad--it's just Letty."
Letty wasn't one to discuss world affairs over the backyard fence. She was more interested in the things that mattered most to her, Watts says. Things like her dog, Surprise, a gift from Judi and Marvin. And especially John.
"It was John this and John that," Watts recalls. "How he had gone to Harvard and Yale. How well he took care of her. What a good son he was."
Letty only rarely spoke about Judi, who was extremely jealous of John because of the amount of money they'd spent on his education, she told Watts. "She said her daughter had married into money," he recalls, "but she was not particularly impressed with Marvin. She also saw no reason to leave Judi any of her estate when she died...She said John would need it more."
Letty impressed Watts as not needing much help, physically or mentally. "Sure, she was getting older," he says. "And she might forget where she put something for a while. But she seemed to do just fine in her little world...at least until all this other stuff blew up."
The fuse was lit at the end of 1994, when Marvin and Judi brought over attorney Lawrence Henry to help Letty revise her will. They seemed particularly concerned that she and John shared joint tenancy on her accounts (even though Letty remained sole recipient of any dividend checks) and that John was named as the beneficiary of those accounts upon Letty's death.
Judi had prepared a list of her mother's assets, including "personal jewelry, diamond ring, diamond wedding band, diamond wristwatch, pearls and gold chains...plus all other jewelry." Judi drew a bracket at the side of the list and repeated the word "all."
But Letty said she didn't want Henry to represent her, and she refused to have her son's name taken off the accounts. In a book she kept of her affairs, on January 6, 1995, Letty noted, "Marvin is taking my...funds and assets and changing my accounts so he'll end up with them."
Marvin was doing some writing of his own. On January 9, 1995, he sent Letty a message on his personal stationery: "Letty...Since you refuse to cooperate and went back on your word to follow through when we met with Larry, this is your bill to pay. I simply won't put up with your actions anymore."
Along with Henry's bill for several hundred dollars, Marvin included his opinion that John was manipulating his mother. "Either go after him," he wrote Letty, "or lay down and let him step all over you...It's your choice."
On February 10, 1995, Henry sent a letter marked "private and personal" to his "dear friends," the Wolfs. In it, he described how Letty wouldn't cooperate and how John's lawyer, Michael Merrion, had challenged Henry's assertion that he represented Letty. "I am now advising Letty," Henry wrote the Wolfs, "that I cannot further represent her under all the confused circumstance involved." He asked the Wolfs to pay him "since Letty never committed to pay me." Letty ended up giving Marvin a check for Henry's bill.
After that, Letty hired her own attorney, Robert Horen, to look after her interests. Among other things, according to court records, she told him that Judi and Marvin were after her estate and wanted her put in a nursing home. She also told Horen how proud she was of John.
With the help of John or the Densts, Letty still went to the hairdresser every Friday and grocery shopping once a week. She had no major medical problems, and while she and John had discussed whether she was maybe getting too old to drive her 1987 Cadillac, if John wasn't around she wasn't afraid to climb behind the wheel. Letty wrote her own checks to cover her bills, never once overdrawing her account. And she kept going to the symphony, her favorite outside entertainment.
A couple of days after Christmas 1995, Letty was in her backyard with Surprise when she fell and broke her hip. Using her arms, she crawled thirty feet to her kitchen, where she tried to call John. He wasn't home, so she called Dr. Denst, who ran across the street. When Judi was contacted, she reportedly told Denst that her mother would now have to be placed in a different sort of living arrangement.

Goth Girl Arrested, Detained Without Charge
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008BATTLE CRY!!! This story just camen in from Underground Press, the leading Metal News site in South Africa. Share it, and have your say in the poll below.
So. I have even more reason to have complete faith in our country's system of justice. Thursday evening, I went out with friends. It had been a long time since we had all gone out together, so indeed we had a jolly time. For me, it was somewhat of a celebration. We made merry and eventually found our way home, in a group consisting of about six people. On the way to my flat, in the next block, there is a Caltex convenience store. My friends went in, wanting to get hot chips and cigarettes or whatever the case might have been. I was still smoking a cigarette, and thus remained outside.

Bridging the Imperium
A look at Daemon Hunter, the upcoming Dark Heresy Supplement |
Dark Heresy | Published 28 April 2011 |
Recently, we announced Daemon Hunter, an upcoming supplement for Dark Heresy. A powerful resource for campaigns featuring the servants of the holy Ordo Malleus of the Inquisition, Daemon Hunter features information and background on the Ordo Malleus in the Calixis Sector, the Daemon hunter's trade, and the Malleus armoury. Last time, we looked at the tragic events that might lead to an Exterminatus. Today, Dark Heresy's developer took the time to share some additional details on this exciting upcoming title.
Salutations Acolytes!
With Daemon Hunter on its way I thought I'd take a moment to discuss one of the biggest challenges presented when creating the Grey Knights rules. Penned by Owen Barnes, Chapter 6 presented a few difficult creative choices. I'm very proud of how the team found creative answers that just kept giving GMs and Players new tools, rather than limiting options.
Versatile Characters
The first hurdle was power level and theme. As Space Marines, the Grey Knights are clearly as powerful as Deathwatch characters, armed with the best the Imperium can provide. Thematically, however, they are pure Inquisition, fighting Daemons and threats to mankind at the behest of the Holy Ordos. The answer was to build the Grey Knights to function in a Dark Heresy game, but include assistance to make them easily adapted for use with the Deathwatch Rulebook.
The biggest difference between Dark Heresy and Deathwatch are the Psychic powers. Rather than write two separate systems, the design team built many (if not all) of the Grey Knight psychic powers with an Overbleed that allowed the power to affect additional squad members. Combined with the Brotherhood of Psykers talent this allows a unit of Grey Knights to focus their energy on one Pyschic test that is likely to affect them all. This same talent functions differently when using the Deathwatch Rules, allowing the group to gain the effects of the Overbleed (thus boosting them all with Hammerhand, for instance). In this way, the main difference in the two systems core mechanics is bridge, allowing the Grey Knights to feel like Space Marines, but function in both game systems.
Careers within the Holy Ordos
The next challenge was determining which careers to include. After all, a Grey Knight is a Grey Knight, regardless of whether or not he is wearing power armour, terminator armour or strapped in to Nemesis Dreadknight. What's more, many of the appropriate careers have already been presented in Deathwatch. This gave the design team a lot of freedom to present new information. The three careers unique to the Grey Knights are presented in full detail, compatible with the Deathwatch rules and designed to function alongside Ascension-rank Dark Heresy characters.
While Grey Knights have Apothecaries, Librarians and Techmarines, we focus on the Strike Squad Grey Knight, Purgation Squad Grey Knight and the Purifier. These careers are all a group needs to send a squad of Grey Knights into the thick of battle in service of the Holy Ordos. Campaigns with Acolyte-level characters might uncover a threat so terrible that their patron Inquisitor must take drastic action, allowing the players to take up the mantle of a squad of Grey Knights responding to such a dire situation.
Epic Campaigns
Entire Grey Knight campaigns are also possible, either using the Dark Heresy or Deathwatch rule system. Justicar Maligante commands the strike cruiser Righteous Dawn in his pursuit of his named adversary, the Lord of Misrule. The Grey Knights under his command serve the Inquisition in a variety of ways. The Ordo Malleus calls upon them to pursue threats along the Spinward Front. The Righteous Dawn is one of (if not the) fastest vessels in the Calixis sector, so no military force can respond as quickly to a daemonic incursion the Grey Knights.
Next time, I'll talk a bit about the quarry of the Grey Knights and the Ordo Malleus... Daemons! After all, what book on hunting daemons would be complete without villains?
Dark Heresy is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Acolytes serving the Inquisition, rooting out heresy and corruption from within the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man.
Love the idea and the detail for playing Grey Knights in DH and DW.
Now reading your comments i noticed this " The Biggest Difference Between DH & DW are the psychic powers " does this mean that some one at FFG is planning to re-write the psychic powers in DH so they are useable in all 3 systems (make that 4 systems when you release Black Crusade) or is this going to be ignored again!
The biggest problem i and probably many people have with intergrating DH and the other systems is the psychic powers as you seem to admit this in your comments can we PLEASE get some one to look this.
I'm sure that your play all 3 systems in your office what rules do you use or do you just ignore it??
i hope to the gods that they include rules for Interceptor squads or Paladins. An astartes is scary. A Grey Knight is terrifying. But a Grey Knight that materializes out of thin air with a crackle of warp energy, slays its foe then vanishes away to claim their next victim is down right badass. Plus Paladins are nigh unstoppable.
I am not found of what I read. Sure, for somebody playing both Deathwatch AND DarkHeresy, this book will be great. But silly me is not into Spacemarines. Hopefully, their will not be to many pages covering them.
I like the idea of Grey Knights being usable in both Dark Heresy and Deathwatch, with just a small number of changes to some talents etc. This will be interesting to read, although I will most likely not use Grey Knights as player characters. Not the main characters anyway, a short adventure with alternate characters (perhaps to clean up the mess the original characters made?) could be a nice change of pace.

In 1984, when he was a junior at Horace Greeley High School, in affluent Chappaqua, New York, he wagered his father $2,000 that he would score a perfect 800 on the verbal section of the S.A.T. The gamble was everything Ackman had saved up from his Bar Mitzvah gift money and his allowance for doing household chores. "I was a little bit of a cocky kid," he admits, with uncharacteristic understatement. Tall, athletic, handsome with cerulean eyes, he was the kind of hyper-ambitious kid other kids loved to hate and just the type to make a big wager with no margin for error. But on the night before the S.A.T., his father took pity on him and canceled the bet. "I would've lost it," Ackman concedes. He got a 780 on the verbal and a 750 on the math. "One wrong on the verbal, three wrong on the math," he muses. "I'm still convinced some of the questions were wrong." [Vanity Fair]
Bill Ackman Is Still Thinking About Filing An Appeal Against The SAT Board For Those 4 Questions He Got "Wrong" In 1984
By Bess LevinSeven Long Island, New York, students were charged with taking part in a scheme in which six of them paid the seventh to take the SAT college-admissions test on their behalf, prosecutors said. Six current or former students at Great Neck North High School, about 20 miles east of Manhattan, are accused of paying Samuel Eshaghoff, 19, of Great Neck, to impersonate them so they could get higher scores on the test, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen M. Rice said in a statement. Eshaghoff, a 2010 Great Neck North graduate, now attends Emory University in Atlanta after spending his freshman year at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Rice's office said. He was paid $1,500 to $2,000 for each test, and took the exam for free for a female student. [Bloomberg]

Public Health News Roundup: June 7
Risky Behaviors More Likely Among Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual Teens
Students who report being gay, lesbian or bisexual are more likely than heterosexual students to engage in unhealthy risk behaviors including tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual risk behaviors, suicidal behaviors, and violence, according to a study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers analyzed data from youth risk behavior surveys conducted between 2001–2009 in seven states and six urban school districts.
Wildfires, Tornadoes, Floods; Are Hurricanes Next?
The United States is bracing for a rough hurricane season, and budget cuts in disaster preparedness have some experts concerned.
Low Blood Sugar Episodes Impact Work Days for People with Diabetes
Nearly one in five people with diabetes frequently miss hours of works each month because of low blood sugar episodes, according to a new study in the journal Value of Health. The study was based on a survey of over 1,000 people with diabetes in the U.S., Great Britain, France and Germany.
March of Dimes Begins New Healthy Baby Campaign
"Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait" is a new campaign from the March of Dimes to encourage women having healthy pregnancies to let labor to begin on its own, rather than schedule a C-section. March of Dimes officials say that the campaign wants to dispel the myth that it's safe to schedule a delivery before 39 weeks of pregnancy without a medical need. Only 25 percent of women know a full-term pregnancy should last at least 39 weeks, according to research published in the December 2009 issue of the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Car Show 2012
A friend invited me to a car show. So that same afternoon we went to the car show in Megatrade Hall. Since it was a weekend, there were plenty of people (plenty of DSLR photographers as well jockeying for position to shoot the girl models). I peacefully shot the cars. Too bad there were few vintage cars and Mini Coopers (my fave for car shows). I barely finished two rolls.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by stitch using Fuji Provia film (available in our Online Shop) in Pasig City, Philippines. These tags describe this photo: carshow, megamall, lca, vintage, headlights, grille, tires, and megatrade. Date: 2012-04-21. Time: Afternoon. This photo can also be found in the album Car Show 2012.Please login to get more out of this site
