Before you even try to have a glycolic acid peel, there are certain things that you need to consider in order to determine if this method suits you well. For one, not everyone can expect a certain result from this method of peeling. One thing that you need to understand is that if you have sensitive skin, you might need to go to a dermatologist first before going through the process. There are some cases on individuals with sensitive skin who had glycolic peeling resulting to certain reactions leading to inflammation.
If glycolic acid peel gives such reactions, you may also wonder why they are generally available over the counter. One reason is that the safety regulations implemented on the concentration levels of glycolic acid peel are only limited to 10% and above. However, most products that are readily available for purchasing have contents of about 5% to 8%. As a matter of fact, some experts double the efficacy of the concentration but the manufacturers just do not want to take a risk in attracting legal liabilities if they fail to follow the guidelines being set on them regarding the limitations of the concentration levels.
For example, 70% or more glycolic acid can actually remove grease and rust in many industrial applications. At the same time, many medical facilities offering deep glycolic acid peel use 50% concentration levels. However, this calls for the need to have a licensed medical practitioner to take charge in all clinical settings because the risk is quite higher involving the use of glycolic acid at a high level. As a matter of fact, there are certain cases wherein chemical peeling treatments result to irregular heartbeats resulting after the treatment. There are also certain cases that required intravenous anesthetics provided due to the irregular heartbeats.
A glycolic acid peel works by using a solution or a skin peeling cream that contains glycolic acid peel, acting as an exfoliant. Exfoliation refers to the process if eliminating dead skin cells on the topmost layers of the skin. The natural process involved in exfoliation includes shedding away of dead skin. However, with the use of glycolic acid in the peeling process, penetrations down below dissolves the substance holding from the outermost down to the deeper skin layers. When the topmost layer is removed, the chemical ingredients of the solution collect them, exposing newer, healthier, and more skin.

Best-Dressed Models and Celebrities Week of August 13, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
The cool kids kept it coastal this week — and the styles were just as eclectic as the locales. In New York, Prabal Gurung and company celebrated the arrival of the designer's ICB collection at Barneys with tacos, popsicles, and a lively set by indie-dance duo Tanlines. Hanne Gaby Odiele, Elettra Wiedemann, Dani Stahl, Leandra Medine, and Mia Moretti — who also pulled double duty as DJ — were among those in attendance; some even sported looks from the just-in collection. "Tonight is all about celebration, love, support," Gurung told the crowd before the band took the stage at the retailer's darkened Chelsea Co-Op store.
Over in Los Angeles, there was another young label celebrating the launch of its collection at Barneys as well: Vena Cava. Hosted by Gen Art, the party featured a gaggle of Cava gals — including Tennessee Thomas, Malin Akerman, Jenny Lewis, and Busy Philipps — sporting the brand's Fall 2012 looks while St. Vincent performed to a packed-in house at Chateau Marmont.
A peek at all that — plus all of the gorgeous ensembles worn by Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale on their Euro tour for Total Recall — here, in our weekly best-of recap.

Today Daniel and Henrik Sedin became the first ice-hockey players since Peter Forsberg in 1994 to be honoured with the "Victoriastipendiet." The award, which, roughly translates to the "Crown Princess Victoria Scholarship" (thanks to CHB for the translation) is functionally the "athlete of the year" award. It has been shared by two athletes in the same year on four different occasions since the scholarship was first awarded in 1979. Every year it is awarded on July 14th, which, is the date of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's birthday.

It's important to check your store's policy on doubling coupons, too. Policies on coupon doubling vary by store and retail chain. Some stores may double all coupons up to 50 cents or $1. Other stores may double coupons up to $2. Some stores will not double printable Internet coupons. Ask your store for a copy of its coupon policy, either at the store's service counter or online via the store's Web site.
What if your store doesn't double coupons? Don't worry. You can still be a Super-Couponer even without double coupon promotions. I have noticed that double coupons tend to be a regional phenomenon. In many markets, grocery stores may not offer double coupons at all. This is the case where I live, in the suburbs of Chicago, where major grocery stores simply don't offer double coupons. In fact, to find grocery stores that offer double coupons I travel 40 minutes away from the city, so I rarely get to take part in these promotions. I shop every week at a store that does not offer coupon doubling, and I still do very well at cutting my grocery bill significantly.
At least one major retailer has started offering double-coupon promotions nationwide during certain times of the year. They're definitely worth watching for! With the current state of the economy, I would guess we'll see other retailers taking part in similar promotions in the weeks and months ahead.

Hillgrass Bluebilly to Finally Release Boomswagglers Album
(This story has been updated)
Every once in a while you have and artist or band come out that is so pure, so raw, and so good, it is destined to self-destruct from its own internal pressure. Such was the case with the original incarnation of The Boomswagglers, a two-piece band consisting of Spencer Cornett and Lawson Bennett. The name "Boomswagglers" came from their real-life experience of living in a shack, eating out of cans and living off the land, spending days hunting arrowheads like modern day Mark Twain characters.
During this period they both became highly-skilled guitar players and wrote some of the most authentic country songs you will find recorded in the modern era. Hillgrass Bluebilly Records in Austin, TX got a hold of The Boomswagglers long enough to try and record an album, but the project almost seemed doomed from the beginning; they were just too raw, too real. It resulted in a rough, disjointed project that Hillgrass didn't feel confident enough to put their stamp on, yet as bits and pieces leaked out over the years, The Boomswagglers slowly became underground icons from their raw songs and occasional performances around Austin, TX. After years of the public itching for the project's release, Hillgrass Bluebilly finally released a Boomswagglers album as a bootleg for a short period.
Something about the authenticity of the whole thing made The Boomswagglers' bootleg arguably one of the best, most engaging projects released in all of 2011. At some point Hillgrass Bluebilly took the bootleg down, and since then Saving Country Music has been flooded with questions and requests of where to obtain this rare piece of audio gold. The original Boomswagglers album has become an underground classic, and Hillgrass Bluebilly has finally decided to give it a proper physical and digital release, with a brand new version completely remastered from the original studio sessions.
The new Bootleg Beginnings from the Shack Out Back physical copy will be a collector's edition that will include a handmade emergency fishing kit attached to the CD, with a hook, line, and various lures. The physical release date was July 12th, with the CD Release party happening at Antone's in Austin, TX, with Hellbound Glory and Cade Callahan performing as well. The digital worldwide release is today, August 21st.
Guitar player/songwriter Spencer Cornett still plays under The Boomswagglers name with other players, while Lawson Bennett is now the proprietor of the Mustache Podcast.

12 Reasons to Attend the Farmageddon Music Fest
Not everybody will be able to make the trek to The Farmageddon Music Festival going down on July 20th-22nd in West Yellowstone, Montana at Hebgen Lake. But if you're sitting on the fence, hemming and hawing, sweating because you only have two days left before you have to ask off for that extra day of work, here's 12 random reasons to pull the trigger.
Purchase Tickets to Farmageddon Fest
1. Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Of all the artists and bands I've seen live over the years counting any style of music, Slim Cessna's Auto Club is right up there for putting on the best live performance possible. They don't throw themselves around with tremendous energy or evoke epic guitar solos. Instead they rely on conjuring up the similar incantations to the old school snake oil salesmen and tent preachers did, preying on some inherent human frailty that allows you no other option than to submit to their spell. You may not know exactly what's going on, but you will love every minute of it.
2. Hebgen Lake
This is where Farm Fest is happening? What more needs to be said?
***UPDATE*** It has been moved to 10 Denny Creek Road off of Targhee Pass HWY/HWY 20. GET FULL DETAILS
3. The Drive There
Yeah, Farmageddon Fest's out-of-the-way location may be prohibitive for some folks, but it also one of the festival's best assets. Whether you're packing up the station wagon and heading out from Osh Kosh, or flying into Jackson Hole and renting a sub compact, and some point you will find yourself surrounded by some of the most beautiful country the United States boasts. It may be hard to get to, but it will be even harder to leave behind.
4. Performers
In the Farmageddon Fest lineup, you have some of the most dynamic performing bands in all the land. The aforementioned Slim Cessna's Auto Club for starts, then add on top of that the fire-breathing Goddamn Gallows, The Calamity Cubes, Husky Burnette, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Bob Wayne & The Outlaw Carnies just to name a few. These are bands that will melt your face off with their performances.
5. Songwriters
Tom VandenAvond, McDougall, James Hunnicutt, Stevie Tombstone, the legendary Soda Gardocki, and Graham Lindsey are just some of the high-caliber songwriters who will bring depth and soul to the Farmageddon stage. This is not just a one-trick festival, but one that will cater to a variety of musical moods and sensibilities.
6. Artists You May Not Get Another Opportunity To See
From the 2011 Saving Country Music Album of the Year winner Slackeye Slim to local boy Aran Buzzas, a lot of the bands playing Farmageddon Fest don't have the means to tour full time or nationally so this is your chance. Farmageddon Fest helps you out by putting them all in one place.
7. The Bands You've Never Heard Before
I've never understood folks who look at a festival lineup and scruch their nose at it saying, "But I've never heard of a lot of these bands." The discovery is half the fun. If a festival does their job right, their should be unfamiliar names. And if you do your job right, you walk away from the weekend with a few new favorite bands.
8. The Ugly Valley Boys
Just because their album Double Down is so damn good and I can't get enough of it.
9. Collaborations
The bands scheduled to play is a known quantity. What isn't is the random, improvised, and amazing collaborations that could break out at any moment, at any place, on stage, in the campground, in some bar back in town, you name it. "Oh my god I just saw Husky Burnette playing with Avery from the Goddamn Gallows on washboard and James Hunnicutt playing guitar, and then The Calamity Cubes were playing with Soda Gardocki and the Dead Tree String Band!" This is what your thumbs will be feverishly working to post to Facebook, and what is bound to happen when you put this many bands who are familiar with each other in one place.
10. Fellowship
Inevitably, whenever anyone attends a festival like this, they walk away boasting about the bands, the grounds, etc., but it is the fellowship, the camaraderie that is created when assembling such a collection of like-minded folks together for three days is what you walk away with valuing the most. The experiences can never be captured in photos or videos to the extent they will be in your heart.
11. Because if you don't support independent festivals, they will go away.

Developmental Dysplasia Of The Hip In Children
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition that affects your child's hips. Normally, the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the acetabulum (cup-shaped hip socket). Together with ligaments (connective tissues that hold the bones together), they all form the hip joint. DDH prevents the femur head from fitting correctly into the hip socket. The head may only be slightly out of place or may not be in the hip socket at all. Sometimes, DDH occurs when the ligaments of the hip joint are loose or stretched too much.
- Prescription pain medicine may be given to your child. Ask your child's primary healthcare provider (PHP) how to give this medicine safely.
- Give your child's medicine as directed. Contact your child's PHP if you think the medicine is not working as expected. Tell him if your child is allergic to any medicine. Keep a current list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs your child takes. Include the amounts, and when, how, and why they are taken. Bring the list or the medicines in their containers to follow-up visits. Carry your child's medicine list with you in case of an emergency. Throw away old medicine lists.
Follow up with your child's PHP or orthopedist as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
- Your child may need more rest than he realizes as he heals. Quiet play will keep your child safely busy so he does not become restless and risk hurting himself. Have your child read or draw quietly when he is awake. Follow instructions for how much rest your child should get while he heals.
- Talk to your child's PHP about exercise and play for your child. Together you can plan the best exercise program for him. It is best to start slowly and do more as he gets stronger. Exercise will help make his bones and muscles stronger.
- Use special car seats and safety vests in the car. These are made for children in spica casts and Pavlik's harnesses. They should be used while your child is in a car. Ask where you can get a special car seat or safety vest for your child.
- Ask your child's PHP how to use braces correctly. To keep your child from falling, remove loose carpeting from the floor. Have him use chairs with side arms and hard cushions to make it easier to get out of a chair. You may want to put a chair or a commode inside the shower.
Prevent blood clots:
Your child may be at risk for blood clots if he has limited movement. Ask your child's PHP if your child needs to elevate his legs above the level of his heart. Elevation will keep blood from staying in his legs and may prevent blood clots from forming. As pain decreases, your child may need to start moving or walking to improve blood circulation and bone healing.
Physical and occupational therapy:
A physical therapist teaches your child exercises to help him improve movement and strength. An occupational therapist teaches your child skills to help with his daily activities.
Contact your child's PHP or orthopedist if:
- Your child's pain is getting worse, even after he has taken his pain medicines.
- Your child's skin is itchy, swollen, or has a rash.
- You have questions or concerns about your child's condition or care.
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- Your child feels lightheaded, short of breath, and has chest pain.
- Your child's splint or cast gets damaged or breaks.
- Your child's skin, toes, toenails, or the area around the hips turns blue or feels cold and numb.

Web's Best Love Links: Exes, Affairs & Chivalry
By Tom Miller
It's Friday and it's time for links. So you don't have to surf the internet yourself, here are the best the web has to offer in terms of love and relationships. I'm not a hero, I do this for love.
The gals at The Frisky have a great list of dos and, more importantly, don'ts about trying to get back with an ex. My plan is: be awesome, apologize profusely (regardless of whether you mean it) and make promises that you could never possibly keep.
With exes on the brain, Em & Lo (EmAndLo.com) field a question from a woman considering getting back together with her ex. She's not sure if she should love like she's never been hurt before, or hot bathtub her way back into it. Good advice.
Day-yum. Per the bro code, the worst thing you can do is yoink someone's girlfriend. It is such a hard and fast rule that generally even exes are off-limits. Women have similar scruples and that's what makes this first-person essay from Lemondrop so readable, in which a woman talks about stealing her BFF's guy and the resultant relationship.
The guy's corner at Marie Claire is manned by Rich Santos. This time around he discusses the questions you ask before or while being a home wrecker. I'm a little bummed that "is the sex and excitement worth a possible stabbing?" didn't make the cut.
Asylum gives some tips for dudes looking to date married women. It's more of dating another man's wife etiquette, really. My advice: grow a goatee so that we know you're the bad guy.

"Honey, it's Mom. I have some news. Please call me when you have a chance."
I love my mother, really I do. But the sound of her voice on my machine makes my skin crawl. I took several deep breaths and called her back, a distinct feeling of dread slowly working its way through my body.
"Oh, honey, hi! How are you? It's been so long since we talked to you!" (Guilt Point #1)
"Yeah, sorry Mom. I was in L.A. for work."
"L.A.! How exciting! You must really be doing a good job if they sent you to L.A."
"You need to keep us up to date on when you're out of town so we don't worry!" (Guilt Point #2)
There were more guilt points racked up during the course of that phone call, but I stopped counting when I got to the part where she explained why she was calling.
"Your cousin Kayla just got a job near you, and she has to start in two weeks. She doesn't have an apartment or anything yet, so I told her you had an extra bedroom and would be more than happy to take her in until she found something."
Oh. My. God. First of all, I don't have an extra bedroom. I have an office. A tiny office. I'm not even sure a bed would fit in there. Second of all, I don't even like Kayla. One Thanksgiving, we had to go around the table and say what we were thankful for. She said, and I swear I'm not lying, "Prada." Now, I have nothing against Prada, but it's not particularly high on my "reflect and give thanks" list. She's a nightmare. I can only imagine the horror of living with her. Shudder.
So here's where you get to call me a wuss. Because I am. I didn't argue. Kayla arrives next Monday evening. I called Sarah to break the news.
"Kayla I-Heart-Prada Kayla?"
"That's the one."
"Oh. K. You should have told your mom no."
"I know, but she already told my aunt and uncle that Kayla could stay here. Despite the monster they manufactured, I actually like my aunt and uncle."
"What kind of job did she get?"
"Fashion mag. Editorial assistant."
"Of course. How is she going to be able to afford an apartment on that salary?" Sarah asked.
"Kayla won't be paying her own rent."
"I see. Man, why didn't you get your aunt and uncle to adopt you?"
"I know, right?"
"So I imagine we'll be hanging out with her royal highness?"
"Since you're my best friend and all..."
"Yeah, yeah. I know the drill. But seriously, give this girl, your mother and her parents a time limit."
"Like five minutes?"
I should give them all a time limit, huh? Not sure how long, though. I'm still really digging that five minutes idea.

Effect of Body Mass Index on pregnancy outcomes in nulliparous women delivering singleton babies

Published: 24 July 2007Abstract
The increasing prevalence of obesity in young women is a major public health concern. These trends have a major impact on pregnancy outcomes in these women, which have been documented by several researchers. In a population based cohort study, using routinely collected data, this paper examines the effect of increasing Body Mass Index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes in nulliparous women delivering singleton babies.
This was a retrospective cohort study, based on all nulliparous women delivering singleton babies in Aberdeen between 1976 and 2005. Women were categorized into five groups – underweight (BMI < 20 Kg/m2), normal (BMI 20 – 24.9 Kg/m2) overweight (BMI 25 – 29.9 Kg/m2), obese (BMI 30 – 34.9 Kg/m2) and morbidly obese (BMI > 35 Kg/m2). Obstetric and perinatal outcomes were compared by univariate and multivariate analyses.
In comparison with women of BMI 20 – 24.9, morbidly obese women faced the highest risk of pre-eclampsia {OR 7.2 (95% CI 4.7, 11.2)} and underweight women the lowest {OR 0.6 (95% CI 0.5, 0.7)}. Induced labour was highest in the morbidly obese {OR 1.8 (95% CI 1.3, 2.5)} and lowest in underweight women {OR 0.8 (95% CI 0.8, 0.9)}. Emergency Caesarean section rates were highest in the morbidly obese {OR 2.8 (95% CI 2.0, 3.9)}, and comparable in women with normal and low BMI. Obese women were more likely to have postpartum haemorrhage {OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.3, 1.7)} and preterm delivery (< 33 weeks) {OR 2.0 (95% CI 1.3, 2.9)}. Birthweights less than 2,500 g were more common in underweight women {OR 1.7 (95% OR 1.2, 2.0)}. The highest risk of birth weights > 4,000 g was in the morbidly obese {OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.3, 3.2)} and the lowest in underweight women {OR 0.5 (95% CI 0.4, 0.6)}.
Increasing BMI is associated with increased incidence of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, macrosomia, induction of labour and caesarean delivery; while underweight women had better pregnancy outcomes than women with normal BMI.

South Korean appliance and electronics maker Daewoo Electronics Corp. is on the auction block and attracting bids from around the world. A Seoul, Korea newspaper, the Korea Economic Daily, is quoting unnamed sources saying that 19 companies have placed bids on Daewoo. This comes after a late-March report from another Korean newspaper said that India's Videocon Industries (Mumbai) was already in the works on a deal to buy the company for about U.S. $113 million. Appliance companies that are bidding on Daewoo are said to include: Whirlpool Corporation (Benton Harbor, Michigan, U.S.), which recently closed on its acquisition of U.S. appliance producer Maytag Videocon Industries Ltd., which in 2005 bought Electrolux Kelvinator Ltd. (EKL), the India operations of AB Electrolux (Sweden), and the global cathode ray tube (CRT) business of Thomson (Paris) Vestel Elektronik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. of Turkey, maker of white goods and consumer electronics The Korea Economic Daily report said Haier Electronics Group Co., the Chinese appliance maker that was an early bidder on Maytag, was expected to bid for Daewoo but did not. Other bidders for Daewoo include financial firms, a private equity fund and four Korean companies that were not named. Background on Daewoo's Appliance Business As APPLIANCE reported on July 21, 2005, the state-run Korea Asset Management Corp. (KAMCO) is eager to sell Daewoo Electronics. The troubled home appliances maker has been in a debt workout program since parent Daewoo Group collapsed under debts of nearly U.S. $80 billion in 1999. KAMCO is a state asset management company and a major shareholder in Daewoo Electronics, once one of Korea's top home appliance makers. Woori Bank, South Korea's second-largest lender, is handling the sale procedure. They have stated their intention to make the sale by September 2006. Daewoo has five appliance-producing plants in Korea and has plants in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Mexico, China, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

Most of us start off our day with a cup, usually more, of coffee. The health aspects of it aren't foremost on our minds when we fill the grounds basket and start the pot brewing. It's a ritual, and the smell of brewing coffee is wonderful, plus without a cuppa there's an emptiness about the morning.
For me, as part Cajun, it's been part of morning since I was a toddler, the cafe au lait was a special treat, and there was never any thought of doing without. For you who are tea drinkers, all the best, but to us coffee drinkers, I can't help thinking that you're missing the stuff of life.
For me, getting the roasted beans fresh ground makes it altogether a wonderful brew. If you're okay with a can of pre-ground, more power to you, but I'm spoiled and really want the fresh taste. I'm not so pampered as to get the beans, roast and grind them myself and really fill the house with the best of scents, but my Costa Rican Father in Law did that every morning.
Coffee also, of course, is a big business and you can pick up freshest brewed on the way in to work from a variety of coffee shops and breakfast servers.
However you find it, if you're not already on at least the second cup, you're unusual, and if reading this didn't make you brew a fresh pot, you don't have the usual love of the bean, as I do.
Coffee is a brewed beverage prepared from the roasted or baked seeds of several species of an evergreen shrub of the genus Coffea. The two most common sources of coffee beans are the highly regarded Coffea arabica, and the "robusta" form of the hardier Coffea canephora. The latter is resistant to the coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), but has a more bitter taste. Coffee plants are cultivated in more than 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Once ripe, coffee "berries" are picked, processed and dried to yield the seeds inside. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor, before being ground and brewed to create coffee.
Coffee is slightly acidic (pH 5.0–5.1[1]) and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. It is one of the most popular drinks in the world.[2] It can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways. The effect of coffee on human health has been a subject of many studies; however, results have varied in terms of coffee's relative benefit.[3] The majority of recent research suggests that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial in healthy adults. However, the diterpenes in coffee may increase the risk of heart disease.[4]
According to Cancer Research UK, the results of a large-scale study published in 2012[122] provided insight into the effect of coffee drinking on cancer, highlighting that there was indeed no association between the two. Study results showed that drinking coffee "had no effect on the risk of dying from cancer."[124]
Other studies suggest coffee consumption reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease,[125] dementia,[125] Parkinson's disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,[126] cirrhosis,[127] and gout.
The fact that decaffeinated coffee also exhibits preventative effects against diseases such as prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes suggests that coffee's health benefits are not solely a product of its caffeine content.[128] Specifically, the antidiabetic effect of caffeine has been attributed to caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid.[129]
The presence of antioxidants in coffee have been shown to prevent free radicals from causing cell damage, which could lead to cancer.[130] Antioxidant levels vary depending on how the beans are roasted as well as for how long. Evidence suggests that roasted coffee has a stronger antioxidant effect than green coffee.[131]
Coffee is no longer thought to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease.[132] A 2012 meta-analysis concluded that people who drank moderate amounts of coffee had a lower rate of heart failure, with the biggest effect found for those who drank more than four cups a day. [133] Moreover, habitual coffee consumption is associated with improved vascular function.[134][135] In a ten year study among 50,739 US women (mean age, 63 years) free of depressive symptoms at baseline (in 1996), coffee consumption was negatively correlated with risk of developing clinical depression.[136] A review published in 2004 indicated a negative correlation between suicide rates and coffee consumption.[137] It was suggested that the action of caffeine in blocking the inhibitory effects of adenosine on dopamine nerves in the brain reduced feelings of depression.[137] Coffee consumption is also associated with improved endothelial function.[138] Coffee extracts have been shown to inhibit 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, an enzyme which converts cortisone to cortisol and is a current pharmaceutical target for the treatment of diabetes type 2 and metabolic syndrome.[139]
Hope your morning includes a good, bracing and aromatic cuppa. The caffeine can be too much, and I always have cream in mine, also usually breakfast comes along with the second cup. Or the third, depending on how gradually my day is going.
Wishing you the best cup you can find, a truly wonderful start for your day. I raise my cup to you.

I am preparing to start another 5 gal batch of my concord grape jelly wine, since everyone who tries it loves it and it is easy to make. I have had mixed sucess with other recipes. My question is can I replace the sugar with dextrose, and if so , in what ratio? I have found a cheap local supplier onf dextrose and it desolves much better than sugar. Are there any other advantages or disadvantages? Thanks in advance, Felix
There's no disadvantage that I can think of. I'd use whichever is cheaper. In my case, that's table sugar (sucrose) but I wouldn't think twice about using dextrose for wine.
how much sugar and jelly do you put in your must? i made a strawberry from jam and got sg to 1.090 in a 5 gallon batch without no sugar, just by adding 14 pounds of jam.
I use 15lbs of walmart grape jelly and 5 lbs of sugar as per a posted recipe and have a drinkable wine in about 7 weeks that has ends up being 22-24 proof. I have made 3 batchs by this recipe and while being a little sweet, it is very drinkable and I have people asking to buy all I will sell as one bottle is never enough.My other wines have not had such great sucess, and I have found that it can be made in one carboy since I have no real pulp( no real need to re-rack) My final cost is about $.80 per 750 ltr. bottle plus the bottle. Great wine to make for a beginner after you realize how much those "kits" really cost! Good luck, Felix

My Wife said the salad I hid the Kale in, was Delicious. Important word to recognize in the opening sentence was HID. The Kale was in the bottom of the bowl hidden under all the mixed greens.
To prepare the Kale for the salad I placed torn pieces in a colander over boiling water for ten minutes. In the bottom of the salad bowl I placed the steamed Kale and sprinkled with Sea salt. I then swirled Honey over the Kale. Next I added a mix of Leaf ,Radicchio, Baby spinach and endive. After tossing the greens I sliced in Fresh carrots and Grape tomatoes. To dress the salad I poured on Ranch dressing and added more Honey. And finally My Wife and I spoke about having yesterday's Cheese pizza. To include this element in our dinner salad I cut 1/2 inch squares out of two pizza slices and topped the salad with the pizza.
I waited one hour for My Wife to dig in and when she said, "Honey , This was delicious" I raced over to her side to see if she left the Kale. It was no where to be found. I had succeeded in finding a way for her to enjoy Kale. Steamed it, added Sea salt and sprinkled on Honey. I have hidden new foods in her meals for many years. I will continue, especially foods that are great for her.

BioMarin Announces Selection Of NAGLU Fusion Protein Drug Development Candidate BMN 250 For The Treatment Of Sanfilippo B (MPS IIIB)
Potential to Add Fourth MPS Treatment to BioMarin Franchise
Two presentations at Lysosomal Disease Network's 10 th Annual WORLDSymposium™
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Feb. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq:BMRN) announced today that it has selected a new drug development candidate, BMN 250, a novel fusion of alpha-N-acetyglucosaminidase (NAGLU) with a peptide derived from insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), for the treatment of Sanfilippo B syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS IIIB). BioMarin has initiated IND-enabling studies and expects to initiate clinical studies with BMN 250 in mid-2015.
Discovered by BioMarin, BMN 250 is an enzyme replacement therapy using recombinant human NAGLU with an IGF2, or Glycosylation Independent Lysosomal Targeting (GILT) tag. BMRN 250 is delivered directly to the brain using BioMarin's patented technology. BioMarin has issued patents which broadly cover delivery of lysosomal enzymes directly into the cerebrospinal fluid to treat lysosomal storage diseases. "We are pleased to add an exciting new candidate to our pipeline that could be a potentially first-in-class therapy for Sanfilippo B patients who currently have no drug treatment options available," said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Developing BMN 250 for Sanfilippo B or MPS IIIB brings together the best of BioMarin's scientific and clinical expertise. We are building upon a deep knowledge of MPS diseases, and experience developing fusion proteins and enzyme replacement therapies overall. Adding a fourth treatment for MPS complements our current franchise of two approved therapies for the treatment of MPS I and MPS VI and a third expected for MPS IVA." Data on the NAGLU fusion protein will be presented at the Lysosomal Disease Network's (LDN) 10 th Annual WORLDSymposium™ being held February 11-13 in San Diego, California. "We are encouraged by the results in the preclinical data where we have seen excellent cellular uptake of the enzyme throughout the brain," said Elizabeth Neufeld, Ph.D., Emerita Member, Brain Research Institute and Professor Emerita, Biological Chemistry, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles. "The animal studies show intracellular storage is cleared with NAGLU-IGF2 treatment which we hope will translate well in the clinic."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Introduction to Philosophy/What is a Person
At one time the general view in some religious societies was that people had souls, which, when they died went to heaven or hell, or else were reborn. The soul was considered the essential core of what a person was. This idea is perhaps less fashionable now, but it forms the basis of most religious beliefs. This belief in the separation of mind and body is known today as dualism.
Current scientific thought tends toward the alternate view: monism. Bodies are viewed as complex biological entities responsible for all behaviors and thought processes they express. Since no evidence for a soul exists, only the physical entity remains for consideration. To say that X now and Y then are the same person is to say that there is bodily spatio-temporal continuity between them.
The question of personal identity, which was first raised by Locke and later expanded on by Leibniz, would at first seem trivial in nature. When looking at a person or an object one can easily trace that person throughout his life. If I place a pen behind my back and then pull it back out again it is obviously the same pen. Problems arise when we discuss cases where this is not so straightforward.
Let us return to the example of the person; from the time you are born to the time you die you change a large portion of the matter in your body, are you then the same person? A tree that grows from a nut shares the same thing in common throughout its entire life, mainly its origin, however is it always the same 'tree?' How about when it is just a nut, or firewood behind my house. When does an object cease to be an object and become a different object?
Perhaps the most famous historical example comes from the ship of Theseus. The ship of Theseus has 100 parts to it, and within the hold are contained 100 replacement parts. The ship sets sail on a voyage and on the first day out the captain discovers there is a problem with a piece of the boat so he replaces it with the one in the hold. The next thing happens on the next day, and the next, etc. At the end of 100 days the ship returns to port with every piece of it having been exchanged with its correlating piece in the hold. Is the ship the same ship? What if the captain emptied the hold and built a new ship with the parts that were originally the ship of Theseus, would those be the ship of Theseus or would it be the ship he sailed into port with?
Concerning personal identity at what point does a person cease to be a person? If your arm is chopped off are you still a person, still the same person? What do I need to remove in order to take away your personhood?
The question of what makes a person is charged with all types of implications. For example, is an unborn human a "person?" Ask a pro-lifer and you will likely get one answer; conversely, ask someone from Planned Parenthood and you will almost inevitably get another. If an unborn human is a "person," at what point does it become recognizable as a person? Is it, perhaps, implicit in the being? What, then, differentiates between an unborn human from an unborn chicken? Both contain similar levels of sentience at the time, it would seem. Many questions like these are raised no matter which definition of personhood is used.
Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person[edit]
Harry Frankfurt (1929- ), wrote, "[The criteria for being a person] are designed to capture those attributes which are the subject of our most humane concern with ourselves and the source of what we regard as most important and most problematical in our lives." In philosophy, "what is a person?" is not a question of biology, but a question of other attributes. Harry Frankfurt says that one of those attributes is the structure of the will.
Within the Free-will Debate, there are three main schools of thought: Determinism, Libertarianism, and Compatibilism. The libertarians and the determinists hold that in order for a person to have free-will, under all of the same conditions, one must be able to choose different courses of action. For example, let us imagine I go to the grocery store. I stop in front of the ice cream. With all of my inner states and psychological states and every condition remaining the same, I must be able to choose EITHER the chocolate OR the neopolitan (in order to have free-will). Some compatibilists will say that this is irrelevant to free-will.
Determinists hold that, under any given circumstances, the following outcomes or events are pre-determined, guaranteed by the laws of nature (or sometimes a Divine Being). Everything in nature is made up of atoms that behave according to the laws of nature, and we are no different. Determinism is the view that everything happens necessarily due to the circumstances that precede it; people are unable to truly make their own decisions, because the laws of nature pre-determine what people will do under certain circumstances (circumstances which were also pre-determined). Virtually everything we know about science and the physical world point to this conclusion.
Libertarians, on the other hand, hold that this is not the case. They point to everyday experiential evidence to show that people have free-will. What about deliberation? People can only deliberate about choices that are truly up to them. Or what about the basic feeling I have in my gut that tells me I am making things happen? I feel like I am making my own choices, and that I am free to pick among different alternatives. These feelings and behaviours are not explained by determinists, and offer a strong counter-argument to determinism.
Throughout history, the majority of philosophers have found middle-ground, and argued that free-will and determinism are compatible. David Hume is a good example of this. Hume argued that people are free as long as they are doing what they want to do. I may not be able to really make my own choice (in the way that determinists and libertarians mean), but as long as I wanted the chocolate ice cream, and I was pre-determined to "choose" it, I have free-will.
Back to Harry Frankfurt. He believes that causation really has nothing to do with freedom of the will and personhood. Frankfurt constructs a hierarchy of desires and volitions. A first order desire is wanting to do something. Mostly every creature has this type of desire. "I want to eat." A second order desire is the want to be different, or to have different first order desires. This self-evaluation, Frankfurt says, is a mostly human trait. A step up from that is a second order volition, that is, when someone wants a certain desire to be his will. Frankfurt says that these volitions are characteristics of people, whereas "wantons" are creatures without these volitions, creatures who do not care about their will and are moved simply by their desires.
These theories, along with others, still exist and are in conflict to this day.
This question must be answered before we can even begin to think about whether it might be possible to build a person. The English term, "person," is ambiguous. We often use it as a synonym for "human being." But surely that is not what we intend here. It is possible that there are aliens living on other planets that have the same cognitive abilities that we do (e.g., E.T., Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, the famous "bar scene" from Star Wars). Imagine aliens that speak a language, make moral judgments, create literature and works of art, etc. Surely aliens with these properties would be "persons"--which is to say that it would be morally wrong to buy or sell them as property the way we do with dogs and cats or to otherwise use them for our own interests without taking into account the fact that they are moral agents with interests that deserve the same protection that ours do. Thus, one of our primary interests is to distinguish persons from property. A person is the kind of entity that has the moral right to make its own life-choices, to live its life without (unprovoked) interference from others. Property is the kind of thing that can be bought and sold, something I can "use" for my own interests. [Of course when it comes to animals, there are serious moral constraints on how they may be "used." We urge you to learn about the philosophical debates concerning the ethical treatment of animals and whether animals may not themselves have extensive rights not commonly accorded them in our society. Persons are not to be treated as property. Henceforth, we shall define a person as follows:
PERSON = "any entity that has the moral right of self-determination." So then, any entity judged to be a person would be the kind of thing that would deserve protection under the constitution of a just society. For example, you might think that any such being would have the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." One of the primary philosophical questions that concerns us in the PT-Project is: What properties must an entity possess to be a "person"? Many properties have been suggested: Intelligence, the capacity to speak a language, creativity, the ability to make moral judgments, consciousness, free will, a soul, self-awareness . . and the list could go on almost indefinitely.
Free-will and Ethics[edit]
There is a definite link between ideas of free-will and ideas of ethics and responsibility. Libertarians and Determinists mostly agree that in order for a person to be held responsible for her/his actions, that person must have made the decision to carry out said action. This translates to philosophy of law. We generally do not hold someone responsible for a crime if we do not consider him/her to be the "owner of his actions". For example, if a man with schizophrenia shoots someone in a fit of hallucinogenic rage, we do not believe it was his fault, and we consider him "not guilty by reason of insanity". There can be no blame, nor praise, in a world without freedom of the will.
However, some compatibilists, namely Hume, claim that people can be held responsible for their actions only when they are not free. In his essay "Of Liberty and Necessity", Hume offers a disjunctive syllogism. He claims that either the actions of humanity are pre-determined (like everything else in this world), or else human actions are random and chaotic. He goes on to say that if human action is random, if my actions do not come from my character but only from chance, then there is no ethical responsibility. I cannot be held responsible if my actions do not come from me. However, if everything is pre-determined, then at least my actions are coming from my psychological and metaphysical states. At least then it can be said that my character is causing me to act in a certain way.
Hume, for the most part, lost this battle, mostly because Richard Taylor defeated Hume's syllogism and offered a third alternative: Agent Causation, the notion that a person can cause an event to happen. This is arguably different from determinism and the idea of random, chaotic action. However, even this notion can be countered by determinists who can argue that though a person can be said to have caused an event, the person cannot make the decision that causes the event without relying on the beliefs and desires that followed naturally, or deterministically, from past experience and genetics. If the person's actions do not follow directly from beliefs and desires developed from past experience and genetics, we come full circle and must accept that the world is random and chaotic.

Romney Got It Right – All Of It.
Iraq, Russia, the economy, health care…
Almost every day, it seems, brings a headline demonstrating how right 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was, and how wrong President Barack Obama was, on the critical issues facing America.
In 2012, Romney warned that Obama's failure to secure an agreement to keep a residual military force in Iraq would threaten the U.S. gains made at such a high cost in American lives and treasure. "America's ability to influence events for the better in Iraq has been undermined by the abrupt withdrawal of our entire troop presence," Romney asserted.
The chaos in Iraq today supports Romney's view. With no U.S. military presence to constrain Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Shiite politician persecuted Sunni leaders and gutted Sunni participation in government and the military. Worse, it set the stage for Sunni sympathies to turn to the fanatical Islamic State in Syria and Iraq that has conquered a significant part of the country and waged genocide against religious minorities. Obama has had to order U.S. air strikes to protect U.S. personnel in the Kurdish region and to support Kurdish militia to keep ISIS from capturing all of northern Iraq.
In the 2012 debates, Obama mocked Romney for calling Russia America's top geopolitical foe. Today, Russia has stolen Crimea from Ukraine, funds and provides weapons and men to Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and even threatens an invasion of the country. President Vladimir Putin meddles in the Mideast, seeks to expand Moscow's clout in Latin America, and harbors renegade Edward Snowden.
On domestic issues, Romney in 2011 advanced the idea of giving veterans a voucher to obtain medical care they could not get at a Veterans Administration hospital. This year saw the VA scandal reveal that long waiting lists for hospital treatment were hidden. Legislation Obama signed this week allows vets to seek help outside the VA system.
Romney understood that the nation's outdated, complex tax code encourages U.S. corporations to park assets overseas and invest in other countries. He recommended tax reform to keep that money and business in America and boost the economy. Obama does nothing about reform but demagogues as "unpatriotic" corporations pressured by the tax code to seek profits and better returns for shareholders overseas.

Numminen Suspension All Business
by Paul on 09/15/07 at 10:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
On Friday, Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier defended the suspension, noting it was well within the rules set forth in the collective bargaining agreement.
"There's a clause explicitly in the contract that states the player must pass the physical and be fit to play," Regier said. "It's the collective bargaining agreement, and in no way is it personal to Teppo.
"I had the conversation with Teppo. He understands it's business. It has a lot of implications on the salary side, on the cap side."

Yeah, and how about those Microsoft Wifi routers from years ago? e.g. Microsoft MN-700. Were those rebrandings or genuine MS?

I've had my Fire for 6 months and don't have any battery problems, including when WiFi is turned on. All day is not a problem, although I do not watch video with it. I'm guessing your battery doesn't hold a full charge anymore. Can you swap it out?
