Aiming to expand much-needed healthcare resources within the San Joaquin Valley, Senator Anthony Cannella's (R-Ceres) new legislation introduced last week, SB 841, looks to accelerate the planning process of launching a new medical school at University of California Merced.
A full agenda will be placed before the Turlock City Council as they start off the year on Tuesday evening.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission has found probable cause to believe that Councilwoman Amy Bublak and former Councilman Kurt Vander Weide were behind the illegal robocalls during the 2008 City Council election, committing 13 violations of the Political Reform Act.
As Gov. Jerry Brown unveiled his 2014-15 state budget proposal on Thursday, reactions across California varied as the $106.8 billion budget will see increased state spending.
The first Mayor's Economic Development Task Force meeting of 2014 brought forth good news for Turlock, as city staff shared updates on economic growth projected for this year.
As the Turlock City Council heads into 2014, the general consensus is to keep a strong focus on water.
After getting the ball rolling in 2013, the Mayor's Economic Task Force will continue working together in 2014 to help find solutions to improving the local economy while bringing new businesses to Turlock.
With 1.3 million long-term unemployed Americans losing their unemployment benefits on Dec. 28, it will be up to Congress to decide whether the emergency federal unemployment program will be continued.
With the economy improving in 2013, County Supervisor Vito Chiesa says that he hopes to see the trend continue into the New Year.
In an effort to assure positive influences in the lives of young people, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors has proclaimed January as Mentor Awareness month.
While the New Year brings resolutions and hopes for change, there are some changes that California residents can count on – new laws. Effective Jan. 1, the following laws will take place in the Golden State, affecting several areas of daily life.
Two Turlock students were among the 19 local students from California's 10th Congressional District nominated by Congressman Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) for the 2013 Military Service Academy.
Each year, the Stanislaus County Commission for Women holds the Outstanding Women Awards highlighting the achievements of local women who have made a significant contribution to those around them.
On Tuesday, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors reappointed Turlock City Manager Roy Wasden to continue serving as a member of the Stanislaus County Emergency Medical Services Committee.
The State Board of Equalization voted unanimously on Tuesday to eliminate the agency's automatic security deposit requirement and begin the process of releasing over $296 million to small-business owners.
As the strenuous years of the economic recession trail further away in the rearview mirror, the outlook is bright for the City of Turlock which is generally performing within its fiscal boundaries according to the mid-year budget review.
The second phase of the Turlock Regional Transit Center is beginning to take shape as plans for a 6,000 square foot building have been submitted to the City of Turlock.
The Turlock City Council unanimously voted to ban tobacco and electronic smoking devices in parks Tuesday night, but enforcing the new resolution could prove difficult.
The Turlock Chamber of Commerce's stake in the Turlock Convention and Visitors Bureau could be coming to an end pending a vote from the Turlock City Council on Feb. 10.
Local smokers may soon find themselves at a loss for a place to light up in public as, after five months of discussion, the decision to ban smoking and electronic or vapor smoking devices will appear before the Turlock City Council on Tuesday.

DJ Harvey takes the perfect disco funk jam, "Gotta Keep On Trying" by Tenderness, strips it down, and stretches it out to build the excitement and energy to epic proportions.
DJ KC's mix "Rotary Connection"
To celebrate KC's amazing rotary mixer find, he mixed together some tunes and called it Rotary Connection (not to be confused with the awesome band of the same name).

Producer Sam Gellaitry adds a great remix to "1, 2 Step," the well-loved modern classic by Ciara.
Song of the Day: Ween "Voodoo Lady"

Song of the Day: The Isley Brothers "Live It Up (Cratebug Edit)"
Most re-edits suck. Fortunately there are a bunch of solid re-editors out there: Rahaan, Jamie 3:26 and Cratebug, to name a but a few, who take great songs and give them just the right touch to squeeze new excitement out of them without leaving gaudy fingerprints all over the place.
Song of the Day: Todd Terje " Inspector Norse"
This is the second song off It's Album Time by Todd Terje that we've featured on the blog. "Inspector Norse" starts off slow, but the patient listener is rewarded as the song unfolds with a kaleidoscope of uplifting sounds.

Text of report by Italian leading privately-owned centre-right newspaper
Corriere della Sera, on 13 September
[Interview with Italian Ambassador to the United States Giulio Terzi di
Sant'Agata by Massimo Gaggi in Washington on 12 September: "'The United
States Today Is Banking on its Allies' Strength'" - first two paragraphs
are Corriere della Sera editor's note]
New York - "The United States is turning over a new leaf. Ten years
after the Al-Qa'idah attack, President Obama thanked the 2 million US
citizens who went to war after 11 September and he displayed the pride
of a country that reacted. But now he is looking ahead, to a struggle
against terrorism focusing increasingly, in military terms, on
terrorists' lairs, without sweeping military operations; and also on a
greater use of 'soft power' [previous two words in English] both in
international relations and, in conjunction with friendly countries, on
pre-empting the terrorist nerve centres' threats."
Just back from the US capital after Sunday's [ 11 September]
commemorations at Ground Zero, Italian Ambassador in Washington Giulio
Terzi di Sant'Agata reflected on the new phase in international
relations that is opening up new opportunities for Italy.
[Gaggi] In what areas has Obama innovated?
[Terzi di Sant'Agata] This administration's originality lies in the
emphasis it places on the creation of new tools for helping new
democracies to grow while at the same time fostering institutional
stability in those countries. We saw something along those lines with
Condoleezza Rice's "transformational diplomacy" at the end of the Bush
era, but there is a great deal more of it now. Obama uses his "soft and
smart power" [previous four words in English in original] to shape new
relations with the Arab world but also in the counterterrorism
challenge. He is going to remain vigilant, but he wants to share the
responsibilities. First, however, it is necessary for the countries that
cooperate to endow themselves with more efficient structures.
[Gaggi] And who is supposed to create those structures?
[Terzi di Sant'Agata] We will be seeing two initiatives get off the
ground in New York at the end of September, the first of which is more
political in nature: The Open Government Partnership is designed to
steer all those taking part towards transparency in government activity,
towards the use of technology in "governance" [previous word in English
in original], and towards the struggle against corruption. The other,
which is more operational in nature, is to be known as the
Counterterrorism Coordination Group and it is due to be subscribed to by
at least 34 countries, including important countries in the Muslim world
such as Turkey, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia. Here, too, the United
States adopted the initiative months ago, but Italy is playing an
important driving role. And then there is an important area of
intervention in the financial sphere. I have just come from a seminar
coordinated by US Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner, in the course
of which ! we talked about how to close the last faucets fuelling
subversion, after documents discovered in Abbottabad showed how Bin
Ladin's organization was on its last legs also on account of a dearth of
resources, to the point where it had to keep detailed, dollar-by-dollar
[Gaggi] How about the new developments in the United States'
international relations that concern us most closely?
[Terzi di Sant'Agata] Libya heads the list. The United States has
handled that particular crisis with discretion, systematically
implementing, for the very first time, the line of "quiet leadership"
[previous two words in English in original] that it decided to adopt
some time back. But its ties with Italy have always been very close.
[Italian Foreign Minister Franco] Frattini's suggestions - a mission
supported by the Arab League and by the [UN] Security Council; NATO's
command chain - proved to be on the same wavelength as the US view and
they were implemented. I was at the White House last Friday [ 9
September] and I personally experienced the open attitude that exists
towards Italy today: Not only was I acquainted at the highest level with
the will to see Italy play a leading role in the post-Al-Qadhafi phase,
but the hope was even voiced that there will be a return to massive
Libyan energy supplies to our country. That is the expression of US
interest in ! a strong Italy, independent in the energy field thanks to
the plurality of its sources of supply.
[Gaggi] Has the ice that hit relations between Washington and Rome three
years ago, particularly over Russian gas, been consigned to the archives
for good?
[Terzi di Sant'Agata] We have turned over a new leaf in that connection
too, thanks to the clarifications on the pipelines, and to the
improvement in ties between Moscow and Washington, but above all thanks
to our transparency, to our engagement over Iran with our stringent
honouring of the embargo. A few days ago Ambassador Richard Morningstar,
the US official in charge of that area, told me that he would never have
believed that he could witness such a radical improvement in relations
in so short a time.

Airbus' now-public intelligence brief about the 787 must raise some questions about the company's code of ethics.
Of course, collecting intelligence on a competitor is not unethical — it's smart, and all companies do it. But there are lines and standards. As a competitor, Airbus' practice of re-publishing Boeing's clearly-marked proprietary data — even internally — will certainly raise eyebrows across the industry.
This morning, I asked John Douglass, former head of the Aerospace Industries Association, about this. He has not reviewed the Airbus document yet, but here's what he thinks.
"Anytimeyou see one company with another company's slides marked 'proprietary' it doesraise an eyebrow and you wonder what the deal is," Douglass said. "You have to wonder how widelyavailable these things are. It could have been something that's very widelyavailable. Somebody had a presentation at a conference and it saidproprietary but it was handed out anyway. And in a case like there's not much of an issue."
But what if it isn't? Could such a document provoke concerns within the US government even as Airbus seeks to offer the US Air Force the A330 as a tanker?
"Obviouslyour government is, you know, concerned about these things and want to see all thecontractors perform in an ethical way, so, yeah, it could be an issue," Douglass said. "On the otherhand this could be just some charts somebody got."

Gear Review
Mush after 40 days
So I had to put these puppies in the closet after about 40 days of riding. Why? Mush. After only a month and a half of daily riding these boots went from an 8/10 stiffness to a 3/10. No joke, I can literally grab the heel and toe of the boot and bend the sole in half without even straining myself. I have since bought some Driver X's and they seem to be holding out well, although I will hold my review of those till the end of the season. If you only ride 10 days a year, buy some Ions, but if you are a regular to the mountains then get something else unless you want mushy park boots after 40 days.
Josh Austin
I had a similar experience...got soft after a while.

Global Agenda Council on the Role of Faith 2014-2016
The religious landscape has shifted over the past decades. Evidence shows that in some societies the role of faith is fading, with an increasing number of people having no religious affiliation and a general resistance to identify as someone who practises religion. Conversely, 80% of the world's population adheres to a religion, and in these societies recognition of the role played by faith and religious culture in public life and in tackling global problems is growing. In such societies, faith groups exercise authority, strengthen the social capital and provide services; they advocate for change and mobilize communities.
There is a sense that the space where faith and society interact is evolving in dynamic ways, and that changes in society are affecting the relationships between faith groups and other societal and economic stakeholders. These shifts create an opportunity for collaboration to seek positive change and social transformation.
Members of the Global Agenda Council on the Role of Faith comprise the world's foremost experts to provide thought leadership that furthers the faith agenda within World Economic Forum's activities. The council currently seeks to raise awareness about socio-cultural, cross-faith and religious engagement efforts for the purposes of conflict prevention and conflict transformation. It aims to transform perspectives on faith in government and the private sector, specifically in nations experiencing dramatic change (i.e., immigration dynamics, internal conflicts, freedom of beliefs/religion, and emerging market challenges).

What is the difference between an American barleywine and a darker IIPA, like a rye IPA? Of the American barleywines I've drank, all I can think about is I have the hop of an IPA but with a little more caramel taste. For example, last night I picked up an RIPA from Shmaltzbrewing and if it had barleywine written on the side, I would not have questioned it. Hog Heaven by Avery, is an excellent IIPA with its 104IBU's and is actually too hoppy for me, but is labeled as a barleywine. According to the wiki page on here, "the term Barley Wine was coined by Bass in 1903 to describe its Bass No. 1 Ale. CAMRA claims that its origins were patriotic, since the English upper classes needed a beverage to replace French wine during England's many wars with France." It sounds like the style, barleywine, came about due to politics.
Barleywines are supposed to be sweet and less hoppy than a IPA. The high alcohol also contributes to the taste. It is also aged for more than a year.
Barley wines are malty and IPAs are hoppy.
"I can't believe how many people think Air Lock is pronounced Hydrometer." -BigKahuna "If you gave me a beer with placenta in it without telling me I would kick you in the nuts." -ODaniel "We be in a big hurry for dope beer with much alcamahol and flavor, quality, balance, and aroma don't matter. We just wantz to be druck, u know?" -Yooper
Higher OG and higher FG than an Imperial IPA. This means there is more residual sweetness in the finished beer. BJCP says this under American Barleywine: "Differs from an Imperial IPA in that the hops are not extreme, the malt is more forward, and the body is richer and more characterful." Barleywines are also usually boiled longer to condense the wort.
Just like there is some overlap between an IPA and IIPA, there is also between an IIPA and Barleywine. I would say the biggest distinguishing characteristic is more alcohol. The big chewy sweetness is cut equally with hops and alcohol where in a IIPA, the alcohol would generally be overpowered by the hops.
Am. BW is stronger than an IIPA. In addition, it has more body. Most IIPA use sugar to reduce the body and make them more drinkable.
Life begins at 60....1.060, that is!www.dennybrew.comhttp://www.experimentalbrew.com - the website for the book "Experimental Homebrewing"...coming Nov. 2014
I must agree with the original post, that the barleywine style rose due to politics. Yet, to quote Ashton Lewis in "The Homebrewer's Answer Book", "Brewing terminology varies by brewer or brewery and I try not to get caught in the semantics". So this discussion needs to be taken with a grain of salt. With that being said, I have to disagree with the theme that the most distinguishing factor is the difference in alcohol. A common example of this is Dogfish Head's 120 minute Imperial IPA coming in at a whopping 18-20% abv; in comparison to Sierra Nevada's Barleywine which typically sits around 9.5-10% abv. Both Beers are well suited to be aged for years. The essential difference is the hop profile in comparison to the malt backbone as generally perviously stated. While with nearly every style there is a grey area in which a beer may sit between two similar varieties; many IIPA's and barley wines fall in the overlap of this vin diagram.
I almost consider it not the job of the barleywine to be different as much as it is the IIPA's job to be different. IIPA is a newer style. I just think it grays the area between a pale ale and a barleywine with every hop/malt nuance adjusted ever so slightly until you feel it has slide into a different style. There are very gray areas.

The Academy???s most ancient holding, and arguably the world's oldest surgical document, the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, will be featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art???s special exhibition, The Art of Medicine in Ancient Egypt.
The Edwin Smith papyrus remains the oldest existing surgical document in the world and will be on display at the Met starting September 13, 2005. |
To complement its presence as the centerpiece of the Met???s exhibition on ancient medicine, the Academy is mounting its own exhibition, Holes in the Head: Mending Head Injuries from Pericles to Bonaparte featuring books from the 15th through the 19th centuries focused on treating head and neck injuries. The exhibition will be on display from September 27, 2005, to January 5, 2006. The Academy will also host a four-part lecture series on Medicine Before Modernity exploring both the changes and continuities that mark the history of medicine. Exhibition and lecture details below.
Holes in the Head: Mending Head Injuries from Pericles to Bonaparte
From September 27, 2005, to January 16, 2006, the Academy Library will mount an exhibition of selected Academy volumes that focus on head and neck injuries, entitled Holes in the Head: Mending Head Injuries from Pericles to Bonaparte. This exhibition will complement at The Art of Medicine in Ancient Egypt exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which features the Academy???s Edwin Smith Papyrus.
Head injuries figure prominently in the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus; twenty-seven of the forty-eight cases described involve head injuries.
The exhibition will contain books which range from the Renaissance editions of those parts of the Hippocratic corpus that deal with head wounds to the works of Dominique-Jean Larrey, Chief of the Medical Corps during Napoleon???s Egyptian campaign in 1799. Larrey is reported to have performed seventy amputations and seven trepanations at Accra in 1799 by one of his early 19th century biographers.
Works by other military surgeons will also be featured including Hieronymous Brunschwieg in the 15th century, Hans von Gersdorf, and Ambroise Paré in the 16th century and John Browne in the 17th century. John Browne???s work, A compleat discourse of wounds . . . whereunto are added the severall fractures of the skull. . . (London, 1678), contains the earliest image of a surgeon trepanning the skull of a patient. Earlier works illustrate the procedure rather generically without reference to the surgeon, or they provide an illustration of a trepanned skull with the appropriate trephines, i.e. the tools used to perform the procedure.
Medicine Before Modernity
We live in a time of such accelerating medical knowledge that our perspective on developments in medicine a mere century ago can seem to flatten what was itself a dynamic and swiftly changing period into some undifferentiated ???past,??? as remote and unrecognizable as a familiar landscape viewed from the wrong end of a telescope. This four-part lecture series turns the lens around, viewing the history of medicine from the vantage point of one of its foundational documents, the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, a transcription from ca. 1600 B.C., of a much older document. The series starts with two lectures on medicine in the ancient world that explore both the changes and the continuities that mark the history of medicine. The focus then shifts to how this ancient knowledge was rediscovered and embraced by scholars over six hundred years ago, in the early years of ???modernity.??? Together, the lectures in this series offer instruction on how we to frame our questions about the past???both distant and recent.

Clause (logic)
This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. (April 2010) |
In logic, a clause is a finite disjunction of literals.[1] Clauses are usually written as follows, where the symbols are literals:
In some cases, clauses are written (or defined) as sets of literals, so that clause above would be written as . That this set is to be interpreted as the disjunction of its elements is implied by the context. A clause can be empty; in this case, it is an empty set of literals. The empty clause is denoted by various symbols such as , , or . The truth evaluation of an empty clause is always .
In first-order logic, a clause is interpreted as the universal closure of the disjunction of literals.[citation needed] Formally, a first-order atom is a formula of the kind of , where is a predicate of arity and each is an arbitrary term, possibly containing variables. A first-order literal is either an atom or a negated atom . If are literals, and are their (free) variables, then is a clause, implicitly read as the closed first-order formula . The usual definition of satisfiability assumes free variables to be existentially quantified, so the omission of a quantifier is to be taken as a convention and not as a consequence of how the semantics deal with free variables.
In logic programming, clauses are usually written as the implication of a head from a body. In the simplest case, the body is a conjunction of literals while the head is a single literal. More generally, the head may be a disjunction of literals. If are the literals in the body of a clause and are those of its head, the clause is usually written as follows:
- If n=1 and m=0, the clause is called a (Prolog) fact.
- If n=1 and m>0, the clause is called a (Prolog) rule.
- If n=0 and m>0, the clause is called a (Prolog) query.
- If n>1, the clause is no longer Horn.

"This card is very beautiful. We chose it because it seemed unique. My mother's exact words were "I didn't know they made cards like this!" Upon receipt of the card, the ribbon looked so real we had to touch to see if it was just printed or actually on there. The quality is excellent."
"Creating the invitation was so easy and the ordering was simple. Invitations were delivered in record time. Very happy with the quality...will definitely use this company again."
"I chose a deep red back instead of the strawberries. Color did not match with red envelopes, but the card still is very simple, modern, and elegant. I wish Tinyprints has matching thank you notes, labels and gift tags of the same design. Very useful and prompt personal design service. Highly recommend if you like the design of a card, but cannot quite fit all your information into designated print area. The online RSVP feature is a nice addition to the service, and it will be saving me money and time to manage this."
"I ordered these invitations for our company's cocktail party in red/black, our company colors. The quality of the paper was impressive, and the design simple, yet elegant. This is the second time I have ordered from Tiny Prints, and will do so again in the future!"
"I ordered these invites for my dad's 60th birthday party and they are perfect. Very classy with a clean, simple, yet sophisticated design. All of the information is easy to see and they are beautifully different than any other invites I have ever sent out."

I haven't subscribed to a landline telephone service in at least 7 years. I've never had an irrational desire to make use of those few little wires running through the walls in all that time. Just think, someday when little Tommy asks, "Daddy, what are these strange holes in the wall for?" you can share with him your fond memories of the technology of yesteryear. He will then share with you just how old he thinks you and the house are by saying, "you used to talk with wires?!?!"

This doesn't seem like a significant improvement over, say, carrying a pencil or marker, some paper, and a flare. Write message on paper, strike flare, hold up paper, and hope the good guys have a pair of binoculars handy and happen to notice you.
It seems like if you got into a situation where you couldn't use electronics but were close enough for someone else to see you and you didn't care if the enemy sees you, either, the set of messages would be pretty small. Probably mostly along the lines of, "OH SHIT! SEND TANK!"

I've been developing iPhone apps on my 15" SSD MacBook Pro since they were released in September-ish? The SSD is awesome-fast compared to normal laptop HDDs. I have a friend who installed his own SSD before Apple was selling them as a BTO and his is still running fine, too. You'll likely upgrade before you hit any SSD writing limits anyway. It's not something I'm even remotely worried about. If the drive does happen to fail, that's what AppleCare and backups are for.

No, he made a bunch of money because he was there on day one with a ton of press lined up and ready to go and managed (against all odds, IMO) to actually be one of the more decent games at launch. (The prices were a lot higher back then, too, since no one knew how the market would evolve.) He either got lucky or was a marketing genius... The app doesn't sell for $4.99 anymore, either. I'm leaning towards luck.

I don't get why these local businesses and parents are willing to pay for ads on a math test when they could just drop off a ream of paper and a laser printer cartridge instead?
Why doesn't the teacher just ask for the supplies that are needed? Have kids bring them to school in exchange for some kind of bonus/credit/bragging-rights or something! Does it really have to jump straight to advertising? On a freaking TEST? Come on!

Yeah.. tell that to some of the admins over there... The way they reject things for being non-notable (as if there was a lack of space in wikipedia) and the other rules they fling at people sometimes, it's getting to where whole areas of the site aren't worth even trying to edit anymore simply because of the egos that might be stepped on.

HTC has unveiled its flagship One Android smartphone, promising its new custom camera and Sense 5.0 custom skin will reinvigorate interest in its handsets.
The HTC One aims to target the same social and photo-focussed market as the Nokia Lumia 920, featuring never before seen imaging software.
The One features a 4MP rear facing camera that HTC claims will outperform most 13MP competitors, thanks to its Ultrapixel technology.
The technology means that the pixels picked up by the One are 200 percent bigger than those recorded on its previous 8MP smartphone cameras.
The increased size reportedly removes a lot of the background noise recorded on higher megapixel cameras thus improving image quality.
HTC claims the increased pixel size also allows the One's f/2.0 aperture lens to capture three times as much light as a regular 8MP smartphone camera.
The camera also features a dedicated image processor and 2,000Hz image stabilizer that helps it capture moving images.
HTC's also loaded the One with its new ZOE camera software. The software offers users several custom features, including dual path encoding.
The feature means that the camera automatically shoots burst photos every three seconds when users are recording video on the One.
It also means that the camera actually captures video several seconds before you click the shutter button by automatically caching video when in the camera app, ensuring you never miss your shot.
The smartphone is confirmed to run Google's Android 4.12 Jelly Bean operating system, overlaid with HTC's new custom Sense 5.0 skin.
The skin is a radical change from previous Sense user interfaces, featuring HTC's newly added Blink Feed.
Blink Feed aims to add act as a one stop information source for smartphone users, similar to the Hub and People services seen on BlackBerry and Windows Phone.
The feed collates information from over 1,500 approved news outlets, including the BBC, Sky News and ITV as well as the user's Facebook, Twitter and email into one push update tile display.
In terms of raw specs, the One features a sizable 4.7in full HD 468ppi display, HTC promises will boast its best viewing angles to date.
The One will run off a powerful quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and boast 2GB of RAM.
The device will be powered by a 2,300mAh battery, HTC promises will boast a "reasonable" life span.
The One will initially be available with 32GB of storage on 15 March via Vodafone and 02 though a 64GB version has been confirmed. There is currently no word on the One's pricing.
Check back with V3 later for a hands-on review of the HTC One.

New Execs--Changes in the Wind
December 1999"We are implementing comprehensive digital solutions, which provide significant value-added for our corporate customers. To be successful long-term, companies must be able to effectively manage the information value chain. They must become the company librarian, database manager, systems integrator, distribution medium and marketing consultant," he says.
Which is exactly what XYAN.com is trying to achieve. In fact, its quest in this direction has already begun.
"One of the beliefs in our company values is the 'pursuit of excellence.' To support this belief, we focus on associate training and development. This expands their capability to handle the increasing complex digital requirements of our customers; and it enables XYAN.com to add value all along the information value chain.
"XYAN.com is creating comprehensive IVC solutions for its business-to-business, e-commerce customers," Belyea says. "This begins with their analog and digital assets, which require data mining and cleansing, coupled with high-speed Internet access, multi-site distribution and the final production of multi-media materials. As we enter the next millennium, it is this comprehensive, solutions-based approach that differentiates XYAN.com from our competition."
David L. McGrew, President
XYAN.com, King of Prussia, PA
As a 32-year printing industry veteran who has held numerous positions in management, sales and manufacturing with R.R. Donnelley & Sons, including building Donnelley's Asia-Pacific operations, McGrew has some definite views about the commercial printing industry—and how 1999, positively or negatively, impacted its players.
"According to recent statistics, forecasted growth in the commercial printing industry is flat. Digital print-on-demand is the fastest growing segment of the printing and publishing industry," contends McGrew. "In 1996, the on-demand market was approximately $7 billion, out of a total print market of $95 billion. By the year 2001, print-on-demand is projected to be $28 billion, or 23 percent, of the total $121 billion print market. The overall print market will continue to grow, but print-on-demand is our key focus."
McGrew says 1999 was a year of internal development for XYAN. Noting that the company was originally created through 20 acquisitions, he says the company has "effectively consolidated policies and procedures to create a common focus, culture and vision."
"In 1999, we solidified our manufacturing capabilities—standardizing variable print, both in black-and-white and color, throughout our manufacturing network," McGrew explains. "We rebuilt our sales organization, beginning with the sales management. We have made significant strides to build an organization that can drive revenues.
"Experienced sales managers have been added in key markets, focused on targeted, vertical accounts that require distributed print-on-demand solutions, and have high revenue and earnings potential. We migrated the sales force to take a highly consultative approach, gaining a thorough understanding of a company's business objectives before recommending a document solution," he says.
"For 2000, we project our business will grow 33 percent. Our focus is on variable database solutions, both black-and-white and color, which have increased 'added value' and complexity. In the next five years, we expect our business will be 300 percent [greater] than 2000. This will be done through growth within our current customer base, internal expansion and possibly acquisitions.
"In essence, this is the year we went from a small company focus to a networked, nationwide solutions provider. We have set the platform to launch dramatic growth in the next millennium," McGrew contends.
Commenting on the distributed print model, which he's been personally involved with since the beginning of the '90s, McGrew believes the development of digital printing technology has created vision and excitement. However, he believes it has been a commercial disappointment because, initially, corporate America did not have the digital files readily available to take advantage of the technology.
"Throughout the decade, digital technology has advanced at a rate similar to the personal computer," he says. "Databases have been created and expanded to provide the information necessary to drive custom solution applications that fulfill business plan objectives. Today, with the Internet providing the capability to easily transfer digital information, XYAN.com's timing is perfect.
"We are positioned to effectively manage the entire continuum of the information value chain from creation of the original digital data through its delivery to the end user," McGrew concludes. "These are exciting times for XYAN.com. We're at the trailing edge of technology development—but at the leading edge of technology applications."
Andy Lyke, President
Ripon Community Printers, Ripon, WI
Sometimes there is a point in a person's life where his or her past, present and future interlace. For Andy Lyke, who is just completing his first year as president of Ripon Community Printers (RCP) and who is about to lead his family's firm into the next millennium, that time is now.
In 1972, Lyke began helping out at his family's weekly newspaper. His first duties included sweeping floors and inserting flyers into weekly shoppers. After graduating from Notre Dame University with a bachelor's degree in accounting, he spent two years in the Chicago office of Arthur Andersen as a staff auditor.
Lyke returned to Ripon as controller in 1985 to work with his parents at the expanding Ripon Community Printers. In addition to his controller duties, he laid the foundation for the company's move into the electronic age, putting PCs at every workstation and throughout the plant—establishing electronic connections between all parts of the operation. He was promoted to president this past year.
As the son of a printer who grew up with ink in his veins, and as the new president of a commercial print shop, what are Lyke's thoughts on 1999, the year 2000 and beyond?
"In general, the market for printers in 1999 has been fair, which is disturbing given the economy is supposedly doing so well," Lyke says. "As with other industries, the outlook for the printing industry continues to be more and more competitive. The weaker companies are being forced out, either by acquisition or bankruptcy. The firms that will thrive in the future need to keep on top of the market by using industry best practices. There is no sitting still in this economy. We are all driven to remove any process or function that does not add value to the customer."
Personally, Lyke says 1999 was a very interesting year for Ripon Community Printers.
"We have operated with the philosophy that our people are No. 1, with customers rating a very close second. We realize we cannot survive without both. We are family owned and wish to stay that way," Lyke contends. "We have done OK this year, although we are feeling the effects of price competition. Our goal for 1999 and 2000 is to position ourselves to take advantage of whatever opportunities may arise. We do many things well, but we still have a ways to go until we are where we need to be.
"We've focused on our electronic prepress, since it is the department critical for future growth," Lyke explains. "A strong prepress department will help us take advantage of conventional printing, digital presses, the Internet and who knows what else that will come up in the future."
Lyke says RCP is pursuing strategic initiatives that will make it better, faster, smarter. "Printing is a competitive business; we hope our efforts are going to make it even more competitive, as we attempt to turn up the heat going into the new millennium."
And considering its most recent professional achievement—winning four 1st place awards, a 2nd place and four honorable mentions at the 1999 Web Printing Association Open Web/Coldset Printing Awards Competition—Ripon Community Printers is already turning up the heat.
John "Jack" Jenc
President/CEO, McArdle Printing
Upper Marlboro, MD
John "Jack" Jenc, president and CEO of McArdle Printing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bureau of National Affairs (BNA), began his career at BNA in 1981 as corporate controller. In 1990, he was appointed BNA treasurer—a position he held until March 1998, when he was named COO. He was promoted to president and CEO of McArdle in January 1999.
During his 17 years at BNA, Jenc served on various corporate management committees and has been a member of the McArdle board of directors since 1985 and the BNA board of directors since 1995.
Prior to joining BNA, Jenc had a progressive career of diversified government and industry experience in the following positions: operational auditor with the U.S. General Accounting Office; accountant and auditor with the public accounting firm of Arthur Andersen & Co.; and internal audit manager and controller for Peoples Drug Stores.
Jenc is an accounting graduate of the University of Gannon, in Erie, PA. He is a CPA, and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the District of Columbia Institute of CPAs.
What is Jenc's overall of perception of 1999? Was it a good or bad year for printers? How about for McArdle, specifically?
"This was a strong year for most printers I know," says Jenc.
"McArdle Printing experienced another banner year. Sales volume grew significantly, and operating margins continued to climb. The Internet, CD-ROM and other electronic dissemination have changed printing. But the growth of electronic communications and digital technology have created new challenges and opportunities for printers that far exceed our previous options and opportunities. I believe this growth will continue well into the next century."
As the newly appointed president and CEO of McArdle, Jenc describes the past year as being "a personal challenge," as he moved into a manufacturing environment. However, he says, the transition was much easier than he expected, "primarily due to the extraordinary staff, the modern facility, versatile equipment and a strong customer service philosophy that comprises McArdle Printing," he says. "Being able to deliver exceptional products and services has made my goal of increasing revenues and operating margin attainable."
Jenc further enthuses that McArdle Printing, a 50-year-old company, is committed to continuous improvement and exceptional customer service. "Our reward has been consistent growth and long-term customers," he says. "I am proud to be a part of this organization and to be able to influence the direction and priorities that will be McArdle's cornerstone for the next 50 years."
While predicting that McArdle's future will be a shining one, what does this commercial printing exec see happening to the industry as a whole?
Jenc believes the outlook for commercial printing is very bright, indeed. Re-emphasizing his feelings—that electronic communications and digital technologies are creating new challenges and opportunities for printers, which far exceed their previous options and opportunities—he projects that this electronic and digital growth will continue to propel the industry in 2000 and far beyond.
Stepping Up to the Plate . . . But Too Busy to Talk
Marion H. Antonini
Pesident/CEO, PAA, Westport, CT
Without a doubt, the appointment of Marion H. Antonini as president and CEO of Printing Arts America (PAA) was 1999's headliner of the year—on the "new executive" front, that is.
Antonini was selected by PAA's board of directors to succeed Terry Tevis after his resignation in October.
Naming one of its own, the board chose Antonini to head PAA, which is one of the commercial printing industry's most quickly expanding consolidators. Due to his extensive experience in operations, corporate acquisitions and strategic planning at such companies as Xerox, where he was group vice president of worldwide operations, and Welbilt, where he was chairman and CEO, Antonini was considered a natural choice to lead PAA.
However, due to his incredibly busy schedule—which includes overseeing all operations of this ambitious coast-to-coast printing network that is comprised of 11 affiliates and commands more than $200 million in annual revenues—Antonini was, unfortunately, too busy at presstime to be interviewed for inclusion in this article.
But, rest assured that when the dust starts to settle from this recent change-of-command, Printing Impressions will provide more information on PAA, as well as its newest chief executive.

In my previous column, I described the Cuban Missile Crisis of Oct. 16-28, 1962, when a threatening nuclear disaster was defused by the nerves of steel and the negotiating skills of President John F. Kennedy.
During this period I was serving as director, Marine Reserve, in U. S Marine Corps headquarters in Arlington, Va., within a mile of the Pentagon, as one of the officers standing the rotating watch as duty general officer in the Marine Corps Command Center. I had been keenly aware of the imminent threat of a nuclear missile striking Washington.
In June 1961, while serving as director of the 4th Marine Reserve and Recruitment District based in Philadelphia, I was selected for promotion to the rank of brigadier general. In the Marine Corps promotion is based upon the recommendations of selection boards composed of about seven officers senior in rank to those officers in the selection zone.
At a time of year when churches invest so much time and effort into holiday celebrations and draw their biggest attendance, the few members of one of Shelby County's oldest are their church's doors are still open.
Buffalo Lick Baptist, 208 years old this month, is holding on with just 23 members, its pastor said, and it isn't going anywhere.
Walking into the home of Al and Goldie Smith at Christmastime could either be a child's dream or an adult's delight, with four large Christmas trees, red and white poinsettias placed throughout the home, and two vases of brilliant green holly with bright red berries on the fireplace mantel.
"Those aren't fake. We grow them right here," Smith said, pointing to the holly.
The living room contains two of the trees, one of them a stately Christmas tree at the entrance with a smaller, silver Christmas tree at the other end of the room.
Brenda Jackson, known for her decades of representation on the Shelby County Board of Education, is helping ensure that everyone in Shelby County who might not have a Thanksgiving Day meal can find food and company.
She is the guiding spirit behind the community Thanksgiving Day dinner scheduled for Thursday at Stratton Center, and she may have started a new tradition, Rhonda Gillman said.
As we gather around tables to feast on turkey with all the trimmings and give thanks for what's important in our lives, it just may be that out in the woods behind the house those turkeys that found a way to stay in the wild and avoid the ovens are giving thanks for being dropped back in Shelby County.
A rural community filled with outdoorsmen, there is no doubt that in this county many of the centerpiece turkeys have been hunted and harvested by someone sitting at that table, but not too long ago that wouldn't have been possible.
A lot of families in Shelby County will gather today for Thanksgiving, enjoying a meal and fellowship and the festivities and traditions that go along with this special day.
But for one of those families, this will be a lot more than just sitting down to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Kamron and Megan Terry use the day to introduce their two children, Miles, 5, and Scarlett, 7, adopted from the Republic of Congo in Africa, to American customs, especially at Thanksgiving, has been a blessing in itself.
On a Friday afternoon, 50 years ago today, an American tragedy unfolded in the downtown streets of Dallas. The moment when an assassin's bullet took the life of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and in so many ways changed the course of American history is not something anyone alive that day can forget.
In fact, it has become the most significant "I remember that day" anecdote that men and women have passed down through the generations, through oral histories, written memories or simply reliving the moment through media presentations.

Re: Help me!!!
Hi - Istanbul is amazing! There is so much to see and do. I'd suggest staying in the Sutlanahmet area. It is close to many attractions - and the great public transportation (trams) will get you to the ones a little further away. The Grand Bazaar is a must visit in Istanbul but I wouldn't shop there. Smaller shops have better deals. Visit Istiklal Caddesi for more shopping, dining, bars, clubs. Get a copy of Time Out Istanbul or check their website - http://www.timeout.com/istanbul/ - for current info on bars, entertainment, etc. If you'd like to take a look at the things I'd recommend check my Istanbul page - "Bustling, Cosmopolitan Istanbul!" - Istanbul by Donna_in_India.
You can easily spend a week in Istanbul. If there was only one place I could recommend it would be Cappadocia. There is NO place like it! Check some of the Cappadocia pages here on VT - Nevsehir Ili Travel Guide. Be sure to stay in a cave hotel! Enjoy!Be the first to rate this answer!
Re: Help me!!!
Well the markets are wild and colourful....actually I quite favoured the Spice Market but as Hotel Niles (we stayed here) is close to The Grand Bazaar (The Kapali Carsi) we spent more time there.
This is from my "What to see tip"
Well my tip is that you read up a bit on VT...make a list for yourself...Sultanamet district is usually recommended along with The Blue Mosque and the cruise on the Bospherous...you must either cruise between two continents or else go over the bridge connecting Europe and Asia to have this experience.. Then the Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, Little Hagia Sophia Mosque complete the most popular choices.
Then there are the Markets. I visited the Grand Baazar (The Kapali Carsi) and the Spice Market. I favoured the Spice Market...wonderful aromas fill the air and there is not as much "sameness".
I loved the the Pierre Loti cafe in the hills. A little bit of a love story here. Great atmosphere with a spectacular view of the city.
Another place with atmosphere is the Kariye Muzesi...a museum of frescos depicting phases of Christianity. Then visit to hear the history of Yedikule Zindanlari and view the city from the top. Dare I mention the 5 hour each way trip to Gallipoli and the ANZAC memorial. If you can go for a few days and visit Troy as well.
So you have your list... find your feet for a while...soak up the atmosphere....collect some guide books or escorted tour information and plan from there. Be careful with guided tours not to double up on the same sights.
Make sure you use the "loo" when you have the chance. you will see "WC" or "Tuvalet"...but you will wait a long time to see "Bathroom" or even make them understand your needs. May cost 1 (one)TL.
Also you need small money notes to shop...They do not like taking 100TL notes unless you are buying a large item.
This is a link to my Travel page

Re: Help me!!!
Donna beat me to it--I was going to say Stay in Istanbul, except for a couple of days in Cappadocia. Istanbul--Blue Mosque, Haggia Sofia, Grand Bazaar, a palace or two, and maybe a cruise on the Bosphorus.
Cappadocia has incredible landscapes and very old cave churches that were carved out of the rock. I went up in a hot air balloon over the fairy chimneys--expensive, but well worth it if the budget allows. Most hotels could arrange it, I think.Be the first to rate this answer!
Re: Help me!!!
If you don't want to travel too much (a wise choice), you can add Bursa and Edirne to your itinerary. I wouldn't really recommend Ankara which I categorize as a boring city, but there are of course must see places there too such as Anitkabir (moseleum of Atatürk) and museums. I would go for Izmir and Ephesus instead of Ankara, but that would take quite a travelling time. For Istanbul, the area to stay is Sultanahmet or Taksim which will provide good transportation options and major attractions of Istanbul are easy to reach even by walking. You can take a look at my Istanbul pages (I have one for Istanbul ili and one for Istanbul) which will give you all the info you need about Istanbul. Of course make sure you browse other VT member pages which are as useful as mine. You can also check my Bursa and Edirne pages for a sneak preview.

Re: Help me!!!
If I were you, here's what I normally do. I'll first explore something extraordinary out of Istanbul like (suggested above) Cappadocia, base yourself in Goreme, a small spectacular town in the region where most travelers stay. I went to Goreme and took some friends too couple of times and they were amazed. There are cheap flight fares to the nearby Kayseri airport if you will buy your tickets early online budget airlines websites. I normally flew into Istanbul and get the earliest connecting flight to Kayseri. Explore Cappadocia for 3 days by joining a group tour - cheap and convenient. Then bus it to Ephesus and Pamukkale before heading back to Istanbul and spend the rest of your vacation days.
Sultanahmet area is where the popular tourist historical sights are so you could may be stay there. But if you're into nightlife too, I'd choose staying around Taksim/Beyoglu area where nightlife is within easy walk. Sultanahmet anyway can be reached by public transport from Taksim/Beyoglu in 10 - 15 minutes. From Taksim take the Tunnel funicular tram down to Karakoy and a long walk to Sultanahmet or a taxi for merely TL10.
If you're not up for far destination, Bursa and Edirne ( "Hadrianopolis...Adrianople...beautiful Edirne!" - Edirne Ili by June.b ) is nice and near Istanbul. The Princes Island too is a nice day trip.
For more sights to see in Istanbul including the authentic local neighborhood of Fener/Balat, one of my recent favorite, check my Istanbul page here:

BP Plc bought a cargo of Russian Urals crude in northwest Europe at a 12-week high, the first trade in more than one month. North Sea Forties failed to change hands in the absence of bids and offers.
TNK-BP, the Russian oil producer half-owned by BP Plc, issued a tender to sell 100,000 metric tons of Urals for loading on May 26 to May 27 from the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk, two traders who participate in the market said.
North Sea
Reported North Sea trading typically occurs during the Platts window, which ends at 4:30 p.m. London time. Before the session, Forties loading in 10 to 25 days was 18 cents a barrel more than Dated Brent, the highest since April 12, compared with a premium of 17 cents yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Total SA bought a shipment of Forties yesterday from Trafigura Beheer BV for loading on June 7 to June 9 at 40 cents a barrel more than Dated Brent, the highest traded price since April 11, according to a Bloomberg survey of traders and brokers monitoring the Platts trading window.
Brent for July settlement traded at $107.18 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London at the close of the window, down from $108.46 yesterday. The August contract was at $106.56, a discount of 62 cents to July.
Three cargoes of Alvheim blend for loading in the second half of June and early July were deferred by one to four days, a revised loading program obtained by Bloomberg News showed.
The cargo originally planned for June 17 to June 19 will be deferred by two days, while the last shipment for next month will be loaded on June 27 to June 29, four days later than planned, according to the schedule.
The first shipment for July will be delayed by one day to July 3 to July 5, the program showed.
BP bought 100,000 tons of Urals for May 28 to June 1 loading from Gunvor Group Ltd. at $1.20 a barrel less than Dated Brent, the highest price since Feb. 24, the survey showed. The grade last traded at a discount of $3.75 on April 12.
No bids or offers were made for Urals in the Mediterranean. The blend was at 30 cents a barrel less than Dated Brent in the region, the highest since Feb. 22, compared with a 32-cent discount yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
TNK-BP sold two cargoes of the blend with a combined volume of 240,000 tons to Vitol Group, two traders involved in the region's oil said.
Vitol bought one 100,000-ton shipment for June 1 to June 2 loading from Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea, and another 140,000 tons for June 4 to June 5 from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, according to the people, who declined to be identified because the information is confidential.
OAO Surgutneftegas sold 100,000 tons of Urals for June 3 to June 4 from Ust-Luga to BP via a separate tender, they said.
West Africa
Bharat Petroleum Corp. issued a tender to buy crude for loading from July 21 to July 31, according to a document obtained by Bloomberg News.
The tender closes on May 28, with offers valid until the following day, the document showed.
Qua Iboe was at a premium of $1.86 a barrel to Dated Brent, down from a premium of $1.88 yesterday, Bloomberg data showed.

Some ecological factors affecting the input and population level of total and faecal coliforms and salmonella in Twelve Mile Creek, Lake Ontario and sewage waters near St. Catharines, Ontario
Roth, James Milton.
Some Ecological Factors Affecting the Input and Population Levels of Total and Faecal Coliforms and Salmonella in Twelve Mile Creek, Lake Ontario and Sewage Waters Near St. Catharines, Ontario. Supervisor: Dr. M. Helder. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of some ecological factors on sewage-Dorne bacteria in waters near St. Catharines, Ontario. Total and faecal coliform levels and the presence of Salmonella were monitored for a period of a year along with determination of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, nitrate N, total phosphate P and ammonium N. Bacteriological tests for coliform analysis were done according to APHA Standard Methods by the membrane filtration technique. The grab sampling technique was employed for all sampling. Four sample sites were chosen in the Port Dalhousie beach area to determine what bacteriological or physical relationship the sites had to each other. The sample sites chosen were the sewage inflow to and the effluent from the St. Catharines (Port Dalhousie) Pollution Control Plant, Twelve Mile Creek below the sewage outfall and Lake Ontario at the Lakeside Park beach. The sewage outfall was located in Twelve Mile Creek, approximately 80 meters from the creek junction with the beach and piers on Lake Ontario. Twelve Mile Creek normally carried a large volume of water from the WeIland Canal which was diverted through the DeCew Generating Station located on the Niagara Escarpment. An additional sample site, which was thought to be free of industrial wastes, was chosen at Twenty Mile Creek, also in the Niagara Region of Ontarioo 3 There were marked variations in bacterial numbers at each site and between each site, but trends to lower_numbers were noted from the sewage inflow to Lake Ontario. Better correlations were noted between total and faecal coliform population levels and total phosphate P and ammonium N in Twenty Mile Creek. Other correlations were observed for other sample stations, however, these results also appeared to be random in nature. Salmonella isolations occurred more frequently during the winter and spring months when water temperatures were minimal at all sample stations except the sewage inflow. The frequency of Salmonella isolations appeared to be related to increased levels of total and faecal coli forms in the sewage effluent. However, no clear relationships were established in the other sample stations. Due to the presence of Salmonella and high levels of total and faecal coliform indicator organisms, the sanitary quality of Lake Ontario and Twelve Mile Creek at the sample sites seemed to be impaired over the major portion of the study period.

Honda Engine Surging, I Cleaned and Cleaned
I have a craftsman Lawnmower with a Honda Engine, The engine is the standard Honda engine that is installed on many of the store brands. It is the 160 cm engine. The engine starts with 1-pull and runs great once the choke goes off the engine starts surging and stumbling. I did remove the center jet and cleaned it, Did not Help. I can not see any other jets or settings. One other note before removing the center jet I noticed it covered half of the side hole (where the jet screws in) What am I missing or is it time for a new cab. The lawnmower is only a few years old. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There should be a club called "Honda Owners with Surging Engines) HOSE. Welcome to the club. I think every GCV160 surges regardless of how old it is. I am told the replacement carb is $15. Better just get a new one. |
I think I will buy a new carb. thanks |
I just order a new carb $41 and that is even cheap for Canade where we get stiffed for everything we buy. Must be our national health care. Oh just forgot I now have a honda carb I can kick around the garage floor. later |

I'm a fan, though I don't drink it excessively. I don't even have any at my house, so I could only have it when eating out/visiting people who do. I think the max I could have in a week would be like 4 liters.
Chocolate milk, OJ, and Dr. Pepper are my life.
Yeah, soda is not healthy in the least. In fact, I dare say, it's downright unhealthy.
Reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Last read: You Just Don't Understand!: Women and Men in Conversations by Deborah Tannen (A MUST READ), A Child Named "It" by Dave Pelzer (NOT BAD), A Dance With Dragons by GRRM (4.5/5)
Interested in why I picked these books, or want to recommend me some more? Just pm me. I love books.
only ginger ale, on hangover days.
otherwise, nope. it's all about tea and water for me.
Some random text to fill the void.
Not a pop drinker at all. I use it for chase n mix, and sprite with drank, other then that it's water and iced tea for me.

Austin Cinematic Limits: So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night…
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on November 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs many of you probably know, I have been juggling an all-consuming day job with various writing gigs, essentially leaving no time for anything else (life, sleep); and, as the saying goes, all work and no play makes Don a dull boy. We have enough Jack Torrance's in this world, and before I start running around abandoned hotels with an ax, I figured it was in my best interest to start hacking away at my current workload.
Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival Turns 25 and Matures to Become Polari
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on October 8, 2012 | Comments (1)I have been attending the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) religiously for the last six years (and a bit more sporadically for the eight years prior to that). Sure, I do not consider myself to be lesbian, gay, bi or transgender, but I do have a soft spot for New Queer Cinema. I consider Todd Haynes, Gus Van Zant, Gregg Araki, Pedro Almodóvar, Jamie Babbit, Derek Jarman, James Cameron Mitchell, Céline Sciamma and Xavier Dolan to be some of the most adventurous and exciting filmmakers of the last couple of decades. Not only do they expand upon the traditional cinematic representations of sexuality and gender, but their films push the boundaries of the narrative form. That said, I feel like my choices have been kind of limited when it has come to aGLIFF's programming; because, to be brutally honest, there is such a thing as "too queer" for my tastes. I was clearly not aGLIFF's target demographic, and I totally understand that; but, despite being an outsider, I have consistently walked away from each aGLIFF with three to five stand-out films that have ended up on my year-end lists. This being its 25th year, aGLIFF opted for a major face lift. A clever new re-branding scheme changed the name of the festival to Polari, thus removing any gender-specific terminology (which seems to be in a constant state of flux anyway) in an attempt to make the festival open to everyone (not just gays and lesbians, as suggested […]
A Guide to Austin's Fall Film Festivals
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on September 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentI have been anxiously awaiting Fantastic Fest 2012 (September 20-27) ever since the carnivalesque tomfoolery of the Fantastic Fest 2011 closing party. Year after year, Tim League and the Fantastic Fest programmers have totally blown me away with their impeccable curating of genre films. And the parties… Oh, the parties! If my liver could talk, the stories it would tell… If history serves, Fantastic Fest 2012 will continue to expand upon its awesomeness, so this year will probably be ten times more amazing than last year's festival. The announcements that Fantastic Fest has made so far with the first wave and second wave of programming have already solidified the fact that this will be the best damn Fantastic Fest of them all. First off, Tim Burton will be in attendance at the world premiere of Frankenweenie on the opening night of Fantastic Fest 2012. Sure, I have not been a fan of most of his recent work, but that makes him no less of a cinematic genius in my mind. And, while on the subject of this year's festival guests, I pretty much peed my pants with excitement when I heard that Rian Johnson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be coming to Fantastic Fest with their film Looper. Color me thrilled!

First off ill start by saying this product DOES NOT take away any blackheads. It does tho do a great exfoliating job. Makes my face feel fresh. I will keep using it until I see it gives me a problem. I use it twice a week since too much exfoliating is a bad thing.
I have used this product off and on again and i love it!!
I dont know why many of this reviews are bad. but i like this product.
It didn't only get rid of my blackheads on my nose but it stopped from pimples from coming. I was happy. my face is soft and smooth and its flawless. My freckles are looking its best.
My face routine is this.(well that's when i started out)
Mon. i use the biore nose and face strip and then after that i scrub with clean and clear blackhead scrub and then use the eraser.
tues. i only use the scrub.
wed. " "
thurs. " "
fri. same as mon.
sat. same as tues.
sun. same as tues.
and after i noticed them gone i just cleaned my face 2x a day with the scrub.
i like it!
maybe it just works way different on peoples skins.
Bottom line: the salicylic acid pad & vibration of the little unit do reduce the appearance of blackheads. The packaging is plain but sleek: I paid about $16 at Walmart. No directions are included except for 4 graphics on the box. But...it is pretty easy to figure out (though in the reviews, I noted that one user did not use the correct side of the pad)
On my first use, I may have used too much pressure or for too much time, as I could see a few bits of skin flaking off the next day (sort of like a very mild sun burn). But...I could see an immediate improvement. I waited 2 days to use it again. I think one can use the pads (make sure the purple side faces out) 2 or 3 times, until the foaming action stops. This application, I timed it for 1 minute & did not apply any pressure. Voila - no peeling and my blackheads got smaller and some of my persistent very small sebaceous cysts are even reduced! My husband even tried this and thought it worked well! So...I may not have to return to my esthetician for a while!
This product had NO effect on my blackheads. It's just a glorified lather. Will never blow my money on this again.
I have only used this once but it has already helped a lot. Yes, I still have blackheads, however, this product did make them a lot smaller and I'm hoping that after more uses, there will be fewer. I wasn't expecting miracles but I am still very impressed. I have had blackhead since I was 11 and have tried everything with no luck at all. I wish I bought this earlier!
More reviews by ImGaskarthsLilMamaxD
ok so for a long time ive had these two like real set in blackheads so i used this and it didnt get rid of them :(. and its irritating :(. im gonna try a scrub next like instead.
So far, I love this product! I was skeptical about this product at first, but after only 5 days of use, my (deep, army of) blackheads are 90% gone. My skin also feels smoother and my skin isn't as clogged. Since I have only used it for a few days, I can't be positive this will always work, but so far so good. I'll write an update if I notice a change.
i love this... i dont know why it hasnt gotten better reviews on here! i dont have bad blackheads so maybe thats why.. it worked really well for me! i saw a huge difference in my blackheads after i used this, i dont have any now! which before i had several.. i will def keep using and im going to start using it once a week now to keep them gone... it also made my skin sooo smooth i was wonderful... it also works great with my biore skin preservation eye cream and moisturizer which i strongly recommend!
I agree with CattySpice, it doesn't get deep deep in my pores. I also have to manually squeeze out my blackheads (gross..but hey..it gotta get out somehow lol)
i might buy it again..not to sure (ran out of the scrub pads). It did make my skin extra extra soft and i love how it removed the dry skin. like u can actually see the dry skin on the scrub pad. its a great alternative to using wash cloths on ur face.
