Environmental Commissioner of Ontario: Promoting Electricity Pricing Literacy (Part 1 of 3)
A February 22nd blog post made by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario adds perspective to prices that are paid for electricity generated from renewable resources. (more…)
Pricing wind energy in Ontario
I do not know what the PC Renewable Energy Policy is for Ontario. What I hear is that wind/solar are 80 cents and the GEA, Samsung deal, and FIT program will be cancelled. Wind is 13.5 cents locked in for a 20 year contract. It is not responsible to try and convince the public that wind costs 80 cents.
Investing in renewable energy today is likely to save ratepayers money within the next 15 years: author of new report explains results
Ontario's electricity prices have become a hot-button issue recently. But in spite of the increased focus on Ontario's electricity system, and in particular the Green Energy Act, there has been little information about how replacing the Act would affect electricity prices in the future.
Let's get the facts straight, wind power is a change for the better – by Adam Scott
It means cleaner air, thousands of new jobs and opportunities for communities, a smarter way to make electricity and a legacy worth leaving for our kids. Wind power is also an excellent way to prevent further global warming by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions we produce when making electricity. Windmills are allowing us to shut down our massively polluting coal-fired power plants, the largest sources of CO2, air pollution and toxins in the province. (more…)
The True Cost of Renewable Energy and Conservation
A blog post made by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario puts the true cost of renewable energy and conservation in perspective – the cost of conservation and all the renewable subsidies in 2010 amounted to 0.4 cents of the 13 cents we paid for a kWh in our homes.

High court rejects conceal carry decision
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • April 15, 2013 • News
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn says it's "good news" for Illinois that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to stay out of the gun debate in New York.
The justices declined Monday to hear a challenge to a strict New York law making it difficult to get a license to carry a concealed handgun in public.
In Illinois, lawmakers are crafting guidelines for concealed carry after a federal appeals court said Illinois' concealed carry ban was unconstitutional. Lawmakers have until early June to come up with a law.
Quinn wants Madigan to appeal to the Supreme Court. She's said she'll see what lawmakers do and hasn't decided yet.
New York has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and Quinn says it's a model for other states.

Police: Intoxicated dad has 9-year-old daughter drive his car
BROWNSTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A Brownstown Township father is facing felony charges after police say he had his nine-year-old daughter drive his van while he was allegedly intoxicated in the passenger seat.
Investigators tell Action News Shawn Russell Weimer, 39, refused to take a breathalyzer but showed signs of being intoxicated.
Surveillance video from a Citgo Gas station shows a bright red van pulling up to a gas pump and parking. Weimer then gets out of the passenger side and his young daughter is seen getting out of the driver's side of the van.
Inside the gas station, Weimer can be heard on the surveillance video bragging that his daughter is only nine-years-old and drove him to the gas station. Weimer, who is heard saying he's drunk, also refers to his daughter as his "designated driver" and "chauffeur".
A witness spotted the two leaving the gas station with Weimer's daughter getting into the driver's seat. It was almost 3:00 a.m., Saturday October 8.
The witness called 911 and told the dispatcher, "Just watched a van pull out of the Citgo Gas station. A seven-year-old girl is driving it and her dad is drunk and he's in the passenger". The dispatcher asks if the vehicle is staying on the road and the caller replies,
"She's driving pretty good. I'm telling you, I can't believe it".
The witness followed the van until police arrived to make the traffic stop.
Officers found the girl sitting on a booster seat behind the wheel.
Weimer, who had visitation with his daughter on weekends, was arrested and the child was turned over to the care of relatives.
Police say Weimer didn't see a problem letting his nine-year-old daughter drive.
The girl told officers her father had been drinking whiskey and that he had let her drive before.
Action News reached Weimer by phone and he said that he was wrong for letting his daughter drive. He added that he is a good dad who made a bad decision.
Weimer has been charged with 2nd Degree Child Abuse (Felony), 4th Degree Child Abuse (Misdemeanor) and Habitual 4th (Felony) due to prior convictions that include Unarmed Robbery and Felon in Possession, according to police.
Weimer is free on a $25,000 personal bond and has been ordered not to have any contact with his daughter who resides with her mother

Cover to Cover with Jack Foley, for January 20, 2010 - 3:00pm
Download this clip (mp3, 5.13 megabytes)
Play this clip in your Computer's media player
Jack discusses the bizarre, virtually unknown American poet, Thomas Holley Chivers (1809-1858). Chivers and Edgar Allan Poe were literary friends, born in the same year, and they discussed many aspects of the art of poetry with one another. Poe called Chivers "one of the best and one of the worst poets in America" and got some of his poems published in magazines. He attempted to persuade Chivers—who was a rich, slave-owning Southerner—to invest money in a magazine edited by Poe. Chivers for his part admired Poe tremendously. His career as a poet ended when, after Poe's death, a critic suggested that Chivers had plagiarized Poe. Chivers insisted—rightly—that Poe had plagiarized him. His protestations did him little good, however, since Poe was by far the superior poet. In Thomas Holley Chivers Friend of Poe (1930), S. Foster Damon describes Chivers (sympathetically!) as "a poet of Genius but not of Talent." On today's show you'll hear some of Chivers' more successful efforts along with Poe's "Ulalume."

It comes as no real surprise that MPs have heavily criticised the Department of Health (DoH) for the failings of the NHS IT programme (Parliament slams DoH's handling of NPfIT). Indeed, there have been three fundamental issues from the outset that have contributed to its flaws.
First, there was next to no engagement with the stakeholders or potential end-users as to what goals the DoH was aiming to achieve from the project. Secondly, as a consequence of this, the suppliers had insufficient direction as to precisely what end goal was required and being aimed for. Finally, the project has expanded so much that it has become unmanageable.
The three faults of the NHS programme could have been readily countered were an agile development methodology applied from the start.
Agile intrinsically requires a regular detailed engagement with the end-users, such that progress can be constantly assessed according to the specific need. Because of this process of ongoing assessment and revision, projects where requirements are unclear stand a greater chance of success as the accuracy of the end goal is constantly examined and even changed if deemed appropriate. Provided the end result delivers real business value, it will be rightly deemed a success, even though it may not match the originally intended goal. Sometimes a project may take a little longer to complete, but that is much better than a total and costly failure.
Andrew Wilcox, IPL
Reader comments
I'm all for agile principles but not even agile could have saved the NPfIT. Integrating IT across a single hospital is difficult enough and rarely achieved. Doing it across a region was impossible (Wessex Regional Health Authority's failed Regional Information Systems Plan) and doing it across a country was optimistic and impractical in the extreme. NPfIT failed in part because it was a good idea not founded on an independent assessment of its feasibility. A bridge from the UK to USA is a good idea. But practical?

How to Straighten Your Teeth Without Braces
Do you have crooked teeth? Did you once wear braces and now your teeth have shifted because you didn't wear your retainers? Depending on how crooked your teeth are, you may be able to wear a set of retainers over a short period of time to align or realign your teeth.
1Find an orthodontist or orthodontic school that can evaluate your teeth AND that offers this type of intervention. Some orthodontists only focus on braces and/or Invisalign, and will inevitably try to steer you to one of these (much more involved and costly options).
- Only an orthodontist familiar with all options can determine whether you might be a candidate for wearing retainers to straighten your teeth. The best candidate will only need straightening in the front section of the mouth (typically the top four and top bottom teeth). This is because the retainers used in the straightening process are fitted with springs that can only create movement in this section of the mouth.
Ad -
2After evaluating your teeth (which will likely include both an oral exam as well as a panoramic x-ray), the orthodontist will propose treatment options. Assuming you are an ideal candidate for spring retainers, the orthodontist will then go over your treatment plan, time frame for intervention and cost.
3Schedule another appointment for impressions of your teeth to be made. This is a mold of your teeth that will be sent to the lab that will create the custom retainers for you. Depending on several factors such as your location, your orthodontist's schedule and the lab they use your retainers may be ready in as little as two weeks.
4Go in for a visit where the retainers are fitted and the springs are activated. You will likely be advised to wear your retainers as much as possible (ideally at least 18 hours per day during the active treatment phase).
5The first few days your mouth will likely feel sore as the teeth begin to move immediately and you may speak with a slight lisp. The soreness will likely continue for up to a week. You will also get used to speaking with the retainers in your mouth, however your speech may sound slightly different while wearing the retainers.
6Return periodically when asked (usually approximately every four weeks) for adjustments to be made to the springs. This will ensure that your teeth continue to move in the directions required for straight teeth. After each visit soreness is common as new pressure is exerted on your teeth. This soreness is usually less than the initial soreness experienced during the first week of treatment.
7When both you and the orthodontist are satisfied with the movement of your teeth your treatment will be considered complete! Depending on the severity of initial crookedness, the amount of time the retainers were worn daily, and whether you kept your scheduled appointments the entire treatment time could be from as little as 4-6 months or up to a year.
8Wear your retainers nightly (as with braces) to maintain your newly straight teeth. Most orthodontists will fit you for a new pair of retainers (without springs) and you may have the option of clear tray retainers (which look like the Invisalign trays).Ad
We could really use your help!
grappling hooks?
- When the treatment is complete, you must continue to wear your retainers nightly. This is because teeth have memory and inherently want to move back to their original position. If you don't continue wearing your retainers you may find yourself with crooked teeth again.
- Remember that your treatment will go smoothly and efficiently if you follow all of your orthodontist's instructions. Forgetting to wear your retainers or choosing to wear them only a few hours per day will significantly impact your treatment time and overall results.

LeVar Burton Wants Reading Rainbow Fans to Participate in Free Comic Book Day
By Kristen Rutherford on May 1, 2014
Oh, hello, my butterflies in the sky – we all know you can go twice as high when you're a part of the Reading Rainbow… and LeVar Burton, the host of that iconic children's show, is encouraging everyone to get out on May 3rd (That's THIS SATURDAY) and enjoy the spoils of Free Comic Book Day.
In this video, he explains why his initial love for reading was spurred on by comic books:
Free Comic Book Day is a great experience for younger readers to discover new stories and help kids stay actively reading. And parents – even if your Nerdlings aren't reading yet, take them anyway! Graphic novels and comics can often inspire pre-readers to start reading. They see all that action and fun in the pictures, they're naturally curious about what's going on, and the only way to find out is to READ!
You can go anywhere! So go to your local comic book store, and pick one of 60 comics to take home for free.
When I was young, my mom picked up a bunch of the old Classics Illustrated comic books at a yard sale and I LOVED them. Helped me ace some book reports later on in high school. What were your favorite comic books when you were a kid?
I only picked up the occasional comic when I went with my dad to the news stand, so I ended up really fond of little random things. The comic versions of Batman Forever and The Mask. A few Simpsons comics. I think the one issue I read over and over as a kid was Lisa in Wordland. It taught me what palindromes were.
You can go to your local library too!
Comic books are great, Levar Burton is great, so why not?
I was criticized for letting my son read comics. People couldn't understand that I didn't care what he read, as long as he was reading. What a great event!

SoBeWFF's Burger Bash: Bobby Flay Wins, Knocks Michael Symon Off Winning Streak
Victory is sweet for those who've patiently waited for the spotlight. All photos by Alex Rodriguez
Bobby Flay threw an accomplished fist in the air as Rachael Ray announced the people's choice first place winner -- his green chile burger won.
The burger, which Flay made in the name of his New Jersey restaurant, Bobby's Burger Palace -- coming to Dadeland this fall -- consisted of a "crunchified" beef burger with queso sauce, green chile pickle relish and a side of potato chips.

- Photos: Amstel Light Burger Bash 2013
As for the runners up, Guy's Burger Joint, Guy Fieri's burger station aboard Carnival Cruise line's fleet, took the people's third top choice. It was a pressed chili cheeseburger with all-beef chili, super melty cheddar cheese, thin sliced pickles, crispy bacon, donkey sauce, crispy sourdough, spicy sriacha ranch and ketchup with a watermelon jello shot. We know. It's all soooo Guy. Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, Lee Schrager
Michael Symon took second place (though, in all honesty, his disappointment was a little obvious after Schrager threw the "fourth timer" phrase out a few times). BSpot Burgers offered the French onion burger with caramelized onions, crispy onions, bacon, gruyere and horseradish cheese sauce, shasha and mustard sauce with a side of rosemary Lola fries.
Both chefs' burger booths had lines snaking around the bend for almost the entire night as fans waited for pictures and a taste of the burgers.
Meanwhile, the panel of judges chose a different winner altogether, and a "burger" that most wouldn't even consider a true one. Jeff "The Sandwich King" Mauro really reigned king when he was announced as the judge's first place winner. Now, the argument here was that his submission, "The Greatest Patty Melty in the History of AMERICA," wasn't really a burger, per se. Nonetheless, a ground sirloin and short rib griddle patty, white American cheese, and caramelized onions, on buttered rye with 18,000 island dressing and a side of fried pickled jalapeños made the cut. Jeff "The Sandwich King" Mauro, Pat LaFrieda and Lee Schrager
"A lot of people wouldn't consider a patty melt a burger," Mauro says.
"But tonight, it is."
Check out the photos of all the celebs next.
The most "Guy" photo. Ever.

In a zebrafish mutagenesis screen to identify genes essential for myelopoiesis, we identified an insertional allele hi1727, which disrupts the gene encoding RNA helicase dead-box 18 (Ddx18). Homozygous Ddx18 mutant embryos exhibit a profound loss of myeloid and erythroid cells along with cardiovascular abnormalities and reduced size. These mutants also display prominent apoptosis and a G1 cell-cycle arrest. Loss of p53, but not Bcl-xl overexpression, rescues myeloid cells to normal levels, suggesting that the hematopoietic defect is because of p53-dependent G1 cell-cycle arrest. We then sequenced primary samples from 262 patients with myeloid malignancies because genes essential for myelopoiesis are often mutated in human leukemias. We identified 4 nonsynonymous sequence variants (NSVs) of DDX18 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples. RNA encoding wild-type DDX18 and 3 NSVs rescued the hematopoietic defect, indicating normal DDX18 activity. RNA encoding one mutation, DDX18-E76del, was unable to rescue hematopoiesis, and resulted in reduced myeloid cell numbers in ddx18(hi1727/+) embryos, indicating this NSV likely functions as a dominant-negative allele. These studies demonstrate the use of the zebrafish as a robust in vivo system for assessing the function of genes mutated in AML, which will become increasingly important as more sequence variants are identified by next-generation resequencing technologies.

Create TLM Models
Vista Model Builder, a sub-set of the Vista Architect solution, facilitates TLM model creation, allowing users to efficiently create complex models using intuitive mechanisms and a set of pre-defined modeling base classes. Vista Model Builder is augmented with a new scalable modeling methodology, based on TLM 2.0, where communication, functionality, and timing/power attributes are independently modeled. This important modeling practice allows a single functional model to be maintained throughout the design cycle at various implementation phases and through alternative design options.
Vista Model Builder automates the functionality modeling with a set of TLM classes and convenience layer for more efficient and guided behavioral modeling. A TLM code skeleton is automatically derived from a set of ports, registers and memory declarations generating compact SystemC source code compliant with TLM 2.0, so users can completely model the internal behavior.
Timing and power can be specified in a top-down manner through a set of powerful policies. The policies are used to intuitively model the timing of a desired micro-architecture including latencies, pipelining and wait states declarations. This approach allows users to quickly explore various complex micro-architecture alternatives in the system context with minimal coding effort while keeping the code representing the functionality intact.

Vista Architect offers a set of fast generic models for initial platform assembly and early validation. All models are TLM 2.0 compliant and can be used as building blocks for assembling any target platform.
In addition, users can use third party TLM 2.0 compliant processor and peripheral models that have been integrated and validated with Vista Architect.
The list of models includes:
- CPU [With SW Thread]
- Cache
- DMA Controller
- Interrupt Controller
- Timer
Verify and Debug the System
Vista Architect offers the industry's most advanced SystemC debug toolset (Vista Debug) designed to validate and debug SystemC TLM platforms. At the architecture level, verification is focused on validating the correct interaction among various IPs and appropriate flow of data.
Vista Architect presents innovative debugging and tracing concept that focuses on high-level system debug and data flow analysis. It helps users understand how data is processed and passed through the system and its resources, understand the sequence of events, flow control and process scheduling.
Unique debugging mechanisms tailored for TLM 2.0 and SystemC/C/C++ modeling allow users to trace transactions, sequence of events and process execution within a familiar hardware debugging platform. Users can view design hierarchies as well as class hierarchies and understand how C/C++ data objects and functions are assigned and executed over time or even within delta cycles. All TLM level debug and analysis are supported without any source code instrumentation and links naturally with any existing SystemC Design flow.
Assemble and Configure the System
During the architecture design phase, models can be intuitively instantiated and assembled into various architecture configurations, interconnect layering and memory hierarchies. Vista powerful block diagram editor provides an intuitive graphical platform assembly, editing and visualization.
Powerful Analysis Toolset
Vista Architect offers a powerful analysis and reporting toolset that allows users to intuitively analyze different performance and power metrics by looking at load peaks, average latencies, throughput and utilization on any port, bus or sub-system without any manual instrumentation.
With Vista Architect users can rapidly prototype systems by assembling key hardware blocks and analyzing the system power consumption and performance under different scenarios and traffic loads. The scalable modeling approach supported in Vista Architect enables design teams to manage timing and power budgets from concept down to the desired implementation. This approach ensures that the silicon area is optimized and that the system is able to carry the data capacities for a given application. It also insures that the system architecture is scalable to support future derivations of the product.
Exercise Various Scenarios
Complex data packets can be easily created and tagged with an "ID", and then traced and analyzed as they propagate through the system. This unique capability allows users to clearly understand the flow of data through the system and the impact of various loading scenarios.
Users can exercise statistical and randomized data traffic or run SW-driven traffic, testing realistic use case scenarios. This allows for detailed analysis of the hardware and software domains tradeoffs and optimizing the hardware / software boundaries in the architecture.
With Vista Architect users can apply the scalable TLM modeling approach for improved modeling and simulation efficiencies. They can dynamically switch from a pure loosely-timed ("LT") simulation to approximately-timed ("AT") simulation.
Quickly Change the Micro-architecture
The unique layered approach for modeling timing enables users to quickly change the timing policies for each micro-architecture model and test various configurations and pipeline strategies while keeping the functionality intact. Users can refine the timing and power accuracy based on the target bus protocol from high-level approximation down to precise timing in a matter of minutes.

This is great! I love Coffee Cat. My cat likes to drink tea with her paw, I think she fancies herself a little too refined for coffee.
Mwahahaha! I caught my cat drinking my coffee one time but he CLEARLY didn't like the taste of it. Potato chips and cheese, on the other hand, I can't keep him away! Nice work~ So cute :)

His Past
No, your BF isn't cheating. But there's something about his past relationships that he's just not telling you. Maybe he's still friends with an ex (who could be the friend he's always attending to), or maybe he's not letting you in on all the deets of his past relationships. But there's probably a reason that he's so hush-hush. You don't tell him everything about your exes, right? Let this one go.

Can You Receive Social Security Disability Or SSI Benefits At the Same Time As VA or Veterans' Benefits?You may or may not be able to receive disability benefits from Social Security at the same time as VA or Veterans' Benefits. VA benefits affect Social Security disability and SSI disability benefits differently. If you are receiving VA benefits, you can receive Social Security disability benefits at the same time. Social Security not only allows you to receive VA and Social Security disability benefits at the same time, they do not reduce the amount of your monthly Social Security disability benefit amount because of your VA benefits. This means you are able to receive the full amount of your Social Security disability benefits and your full VA benefit amount simultaneously if your VA benefits are service connected. However, it does not mean entitlement to Social Security disability will not affect the amount of a VA pension in all cases. If you receive a non-service connected pension, it is likely that your Social Security disability benefits may cause an offset of your VA benefits depending upon the amount of your Social Security disability. If you receive VA or Veterans benefits, you may not be able to receive SSI disability benefits at the same time. SSI disability is a need-based program that considers income and resources as a basis of entitlement. Social Security considers VA benefits in the same way they consider other types of income, so if your VA benefits are higher than the income amount allowed, it is likely you will be denied SSI disability benefits. If your VA benefit amount is under the SSI income limit, you may be entitled to receive SSI disability benefits simultaneously with your VA benefits. Again, this does not mean that SSI disability benefits will not affect the amount you receive in VA benefits. If you receive a non-service connected pension your VA benefits will definitely be offset by the amount of SSI disability benefits you receive from social Security. If you receive service connected compensation and SSI disability benefits, it is likely that your VA benefits may be offset. It depends upon your percentage rating by the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Update Your Security Software
It's important to keep your security software up-to-date so you can have the best protection and online experience possible. Anti-virus software (such as McAfee or Norton) scans your computer regularly for viruses and spyware. Depending on your settings, it can also monitor your computer and incoming email to block potentially harmful files.
Keep your Web Browser Up-To-Date
All browsers are susceptible to malware and browser security problems. One the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself from these threats is to ensure your browser is up to date. To ensure you can surf the web with confidence, knowing you've got the latest security updates, here are links to KlebergBank.com supported browsers:
Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Websites.
Watch out for copycat websites that deliberately use a name or web address very similar to, but not the same as, that of a real financial institution. The intent is to lure you into clicking onto their website and giving your personal information, such as your account number and password. Always check to see that you have typed in the correct URL and that you are being directed to a secure site containing "https://."
Email Security Tips
Email has become one of the most common methods of communication in the world. However, that also means the potential for cyber criminals to attempt to use email as a way to collect your private information has also risen. To help keep your information safe, here are some great tips to be aware of when checking your email:
- Kleberg Bank will never ask for your User ID, password, or full social security number through an email.
- Be wary of suspicious emails. Never open attachments, click on links, or respond to emails from suspicious or unknown senders.
- If you receive a suspicious email that you think is from someone posing as Kleberg Bank, do not respond or provide any information. Forward the email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- If you accidentally respond to a phishing email with personal or account information, contact Kleberg Bank immediately at 361-592-8501 (Kingsville) or 361-850-6800 (Corpus Christi).

Lips are a visible body part at the mouth of humans and many animals. Lips are soft, movable, and serve as the opening for food intake and in the articulation of sound and speech. Human lips are a tactile sensory organ, and can be erogenous when used in kissing and other acts of intimacy.
The upper and lower lips are referred to as the "Labium superius oris" and "Labium inferius oris", respectively.[1][2] The juncture where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area is the vermilion border,[3] and the typically reddish area within the borders is called the vermilion zone.[4] The vermilion border of the upper lip is known as the cupid's bow.[5] The fleshy protuberance located in the center of the upper lip is a tubercle known by various terms including the procheilon (also spelled prochilon), the "tuberculum labii superioris", and the "labial tubercle".[6] The vertical groove extending from the procheilon to the nasal septum is called the philtrum.[7]
The skin of the lip, with three to five cellular layers, is very thin compared to typical face skin, which has up to 16 layers. With light skin color, the lip skin contains fewer melanocytes (cells which produce melanin pigment, which give skin its color). Because of this, the blood vessels appear through the skin of the lips, which leads to their notable red coloring. With darker skin color this effect is less prominent, as in this case the skin of the lips contains more melanin and thus is visually darker. The skin of the lip forms the border between the exterior skin of the face, and the interior mucous membrane of the inside of the mouth.
The lip skin is not hairy and does not have sweat glands. Therefore it does not have the usual protection layer of sweat and body oils which keep the skin smooth, inhibit pathogens, and regulate warmth. For these reasons, the lips dry out faster and become chapped more easily.
The skin of the lips is stratified squamous epithelium. The mucous membrane is represented by a large area in the sensory cortex, and is therefore highly sensitive. The Frenulum Labii Inferioris is the frenulum of the lower lip. The Frenulum Labii Superioris is the frenulum of the upper lip.
The facial artery is one of the six non-terminal branches of the external carotid artery. It supplies the lips by its superior and inferior labial branches, each of which bifurcate and anastomose with their companion artery from the other side.
The muscles acting on the lips are considered part of the muscles of facial expression. All muscles of facial expression are derived from the mesoderm of the second pharyngeal arch, and are therefore supplied (motor supply) by the nerve of the second pharyngeal arch, the facial nerve (7th cranial nerve). The muscles of facial expression are all specialized members of the panniculus carnosus, which attach to the dermis and so wrinkle, or dimple the overlying skin. Functionally, the muscles of facial expression are arranged in groups around the orbits, nose and mouth.
The muscles acting on the lips:
Because they have their own muscles and bordering muscles, the lips are easily movable. Lips are used for eating functions, like holding food or to get it in the mouth. In addition, lips serve to close the mouth airtight shut, to hold food and drink inside, and to keep out unwanted objects. Through making a narrow funnel with the lips, the suction of the mouth is increased. This suction is essential for babies to breast feed. Lips can also be used to suck in other contexts, such as sucking on a straw to drink liquids.
The lips serve for creating different sounds - mainly labial, bilabial, and labiodental consonant sounds as well as vowel rounding - and thus are an important part of the speech apparatus. The lips enable whistling and the performing of wind instruments such as the trumpet, clarinet, flute and saxophone.
The lip has many nerve endings and reacts as part of the tactile (touch) senses. Lips are very sensitive to touch, warmth, and cold. It is therefore an important aid for exploring unknown objects for babies and toddlers.
Because of their high number of nerve endings, the lips are an erogenous zone. The lips therefore play a crucial role in kissing and other acts of intimacy.
A woman's lips are also a visible expression of her fertility. In studies performed on the science of human attraction, psychologists have concluded that a woman's facial and sexual attractiveness is closely linked to the makeup of her hormones during puberty and development. Contrary to the effects of testosterone on a man's facial structure, the effects of a woman's oestrogen levels serve to maintain a relatively "childlike" and youthful facial structure during puberty and during final maturation. It has been shown that the more oestrogen a woman has, the larger her eyes and the fuller her lips, characteristics which are perceived as more feminine.[8] Surveys performed by sexual psychologists have also found that universally, men find a woman's full lips to be more sexually attractive than lips that are less so.[citation needed] A woman's lips are therefore sexually attractive to males because they serve as a biological indicator of a woman's health and fertility. A woman's lipstick (or collagen lip enhancement) attempts to take advantage of this fact by creating the illusion that a woman has more oestrogen than she actually has, and thus that she is more fertile and attractive.[9]
Lip size is linked to sexual attraction in both men and women. Women are attracted to men with masculine lips, that are more middle size and not too big or too small; they are to be rugged and sensual. In general, the researchers found that a small nose, big eyes and voluptuous lips are sexually attractive both in men and women.[10]
This section requires expansion. (November 2008) |
The lips contribute substantially to facial expressions. The lips visibly express emotions such as a smile or frown, iconically by the curve of the lips forming an up-open or down-open parabola, respectively. Lips can also be made pouty when whining, or perky to be provocative.
Lips are often viewed as a symbol for sensuality and sexuality. This has many origins; above all, the lips are a very sensitive erogenous and tactile organ. Furthermore, in many cultures of the world, a woman's mouth and lips are veiled because of their representative association with the vulva, and because of their role as a woman's secondary sexual organ.[11]
As part of the mouth, the lips are also associated with the symbolism associated with the mouth as orifice by which food is taken in. The lips are also linked symbolically to neonatal psychology (see for example oral stage of the psychology according to Sigmund Freud).
As an organ of the body, the lip can be a focus of disease or show symptoms of a disease:
In most vertebrates, the lips are relatively unimportant folds of tissue lying just outside the jaws. However, in mammals, they become much more prominent, being separated from the jaws by a deep cleft. They are also more mobile in mammals than in other groups, since it is only in this group that they have any attached muscles. In some teleost fish, the lips may be modified to carry sensitive barbels. In birds and turtles, the lips are hard and keratinous, forming a solid beak.[12]

Jerusalem: Mosab Hassan Yousef, a son of a Hamas leader and spy for Israel, has revealed that he is making a film about the Islam's Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (SAWW) in which he would reveal his "real nature" to the Muslims.
He told about his filmmaking to the journalists when he was on a rare visit to Jerusalem. It is pertinent to mention here that his family has disowned him in the occupied West Bank as he was proved to be spying for Israel.
He held a news conference in Jerusalem and observed, "This is time to free people from the absolute control of religion, by reasoning, by a better understanding."
He was bombarded by severe questioning as he was challenged for his assertion that Islam is a "religion of war" as compared to other major faiths. He was also tested for his defense to contentious Israeli policies.
During late 1990s and early 2000s, Yousef helped the Shin Bet security service after secretly converting to Christianity; it was the time when Hamas kicked off suicide bombing campaigns against Israel.
"Green Prince" was his codename after the Holy Islamic color and for the fact that his father, Hassan Yousef, led Hamas in the West Bank.
He is now of 34 years of age and proclaimed himself "Son of Hamas" in his book published in 2010. He has been living in the United States of America as a refugee.
He has always maintained his contacts with his Shin Bet handler and never made apologies for his treacherous actions to his nation, Palestinians.
Palestinians see him as a traitor and abhor him for his disloyalty to his motherland and Islam. They believe he deserves nothing but death.
He was attending the Jerusalem event which was hosted by Media Central, a pro-Israel press relations organization. He said at the event, "Usually people are ashamed when they do something wrong. People love to live in the darkness ... I live in the light. I didn't do anything wrong by saving human life."
When Shin Bet was contacted for the comments, they declined to say anything in the matter of Yousef.
However, two retired senior officials informed that Yousef's account of his double life as a spy and trusted lieutenant to his father was largely true.
In his book, he revealed that he had foiled Palestinian attacks and also arranged for the elder Yousef to be repeatedly arrested in order to spare him assassination by Israel.
The Hamas leader, in Israeli custody, again issued an angry statement to Palestinian media reaffirming that he has disowned his son a long time ago.
Yousef's mother, Subha, formidably stated, "I'm not to be addressed as his mother because he's not my son. He gave his loyalties to a religion other than Islam. We're Muslims and he attacked our religion."
"He didn't save anyone. These are myths in his own head," she added.
Yousef said while calling for the freedom of women, security for homosexuals and freer religious debate, "I think Palestinians need freedom and human rights more than they need a state."
"It's not just a movie for Muslims to learn about Islam themselves, what they cherish, but also for people who aren't from Islam to learn the true culture and history of the religion," he concluded.

Natalia Vodianova's 2011 Love Ball Fashion [Pictures,Video]
See (and Watch) Scenes from Natalia Vodianova's Fairy Tale-Themed Love Ball Bash
>> To close out the Fall 2011 couture season, Natalia Vodianova invited a who's who of fashion to her White Fairy Tale Love Ball last night, hosted at Valentino Garavani's Chateau de Wideville estate on the outskirts of Paris. Her goal? To raise money for her Naked Heart Foundation, which has already built 60 playgrounds in 44 Russian cities.
She succeeded in pulling in 2.3 million euros ($3.3 million) from the night, which included a fashion show featuring 45 custom dresses created by Olivier Theyskens, Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney, and every designer in between. Although the night's dress code called for white or silver gowns, Vodianova, for her part, wore a scarlet Little Red Riding Hood-inspired confection by Garavani himself — the first dress he has made since retiring in 2008. "I always wear red to my events," Vodianova explained.

About Ali
My name's Ali Straka and during my time writing for College Fashion, I was a 21-year-old entering my senior year as a magazine journalism major and textile and apparel management minor at the University of Missouri. Now I'm an alumnae of Mizzou (and College Fashion) and working in social media and marketing for a national bridal shoe company.
I'm still a self-proclaimed pop culture junkie who has loved all things fashion since toddlerdom. My not-so-guilty pleasures include Bravo reality TV (Real Housewives and Millionaire Matchmaker, anyone?), celebrity gossip blogs, and '90s teen soaps ("Dawson or Pacey?" consumed my fourth grade self's thoughts). It's tough for me to sum up my personal style because I love so many different looks, but my ultimate style icon has always been (and will always be) Jackie Kennedy Onasis. And I sometimes wished I lived in the '60s just for the fashions.

text: Hi, I'm working through the latest LFS book and am at chapter 6.13 ( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/binutils.html). The compilation on that page does not throw any errors, however when I run the test suite with "make check" one of the tests fails. Specifically: Running /sources/binutils-2.23.1/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/i386.exp ... FAIL: gas/i386/rept I've looked at the test file in question, but can't see anything obvious, other than that the host is running i686 architecture, while the system is testing i386. Also, the error message is not very descriptive in describing why the test failed. Has anyone seen this problem before? Also, does anyone know what this test does and whether it's safe to ignore?

An unexpected end to a very promising weekend is what the Andretti Autosport IZOD IndyCar teams experienced in sunny Long Beach, California. The hot streak continues in their Firestone Indy Lights program, however, as veteran Carlos Munoz found victory lane once more.
Marco Andretti went into today's race with the odds stacked against him, as he started 25th on the grid. Making a slow and steady climb through tough competition, Marco worked his way as high as eighth before sustaining front end damage. Showing no signs of slowing down, he battled his way into the top 10 before finishing seventh overall in the field. "Going into this, I knew that this would be about the best we would finish. I am definitely pleased with how we climbed our way through the field and how we stayed consistent throughout the day. We knew that if we just stayed in the race and didn't make any mistakes, we would be good. I had some front wing damage and a lot of understeer the whole race." Andretti remains fourth in the championship points standings.
Twenty-eight-year-old E.J. Viso felt the car that his No. 5 crew gave him was going to bring him to victory lane. Seen as high as sixth place after the second restart, E.J. was reordered back to P8 following a series of pit stops amongst the competition. The Venezuelan remained in the top 10 position until receiving the brunt of a run-in between two other competitors, and Viso returned to the pits and was brought back behind the wall to have his rear suspension worked on. Crew guys from the Go Daddy and Team Venezuela camp worked feverishly and pushed E.J. back out to the race on Lap 49. Calling it a day, the No. 5 team called in the Andretti Autosport "rookie" with 10 laps to go being shown in 22nd. "A very tough weekend for the team. It was looking like a good weekend for me after our very difficult beginning. It was a very tough Friday, a bit better Saturday in qualifying – we were able to qualify in the top 10 – and then in the race I really had a good, good recovery with some changes for the race which were in the right direction. The team gave me a car that was very competitive with new and old tires. I was able to have a very good rhythm and good pace with fuel. I believe we had a car that was able to win this race. I feel bad for the outcome of the team: one driver took three Andretti cars out – it's a shame. Now to Brazil."
2010 Long Beach race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay also ended the day early due to on-track contact with fellow competitors. After showing promising speed all weekend and rolling the DHL Chevy off from the second position, he found himself in an undesirable position more than once during today's 80-lap race. The No. 1 machine entered the pits for a front nose replacement after simply being in the wrong place and the wrong time and being collected in a Turn 1 incident. Losing valuable track time for repairs, the American found himself stuck in traffic and then part of another collision, this time ended his day. "We missed some of the grip today that we had in prior days. Some of the corners that were my strongest were my weakest today. I was definitely handcuffed, so we just started trying things. We were in the back anyway, I had to move forward again and I just got in too hot, no grip on the inside there. Just trying things, trying anything to make a bad day go a little better, but it just went from bad to worse. I feel really bad for the guys, they gave me a great car all weekend, we just missed it today. I absolutely missed it out there on the track, so we have to rebound in Brazil for sure and try to get the DHL Chevy on top again." Today's incident dropped Hunter-Reay from third to sixth in the points standings.
The GoDaddy.com machine of James Hinchcliffe was full of top-five capability when the Canadian driver fell victim to the same fate three of his teammates suffered. A restart left James entering Turn 1 from the inside line with no where to go but into the wall as competition turned in on the No. 27 Chevy. "Two in a row (not finishing due to contact) – what a kick in the pants. It's really unfortunate because I think the Go Daddy team had done a good job giving us a great race car. And on that restart… I didn't get the best restart and Tony (Kanaan) had a smokin' one and I was trying to keep, I think it was (Simon) Pagenaud, behind me on the inside and as we got down to Turn 1. I haven't seen a replay so I don't know if Tony was trying to do a last minute pass or if he was getting squeezed by someone else, but he moved in the brake zone and I just had nowhere to go and day done. So really tough break for the Go Daddy guys because I genuinely think we were podium contenders today and it was going to be a good comeback from not the strongest of weekends. But one thing I love about this team is they pull out on Sundays – they do Sunday as well as anybody, and often better, and I think today was going to be one of those days. But we'll get our momentum back and move on to Brazil."
Carlos Munoz's momentum continues to roll as he won today's Long Beach 100 in a seemingly dominant fashion. Starting from the pole position for the third straight time this season, Carlos started the race ahead of the pack and never looked back. Making this back-to-back wins this season, Carlos has now pulled ahead in points standings. "In the beginning I think I did a really good start, so Jack got nervous or something and there was a big crash behind me, I don't know what really happened I just saw it in the mirrors. After that it was my race, I knew that Peter and Jack were some of my two biggest competitors on the track for the championship and they were out, so I was taking it easy. The main key was to finish, but it was a really good car for a second victory of the season, I had a really great car."
Zach Veach made his Long Beach debut today filled with optimism after qualifying third fastest in the field during yesterday's session. Zach's luck would run short as he collided with another car going into Turn 1 of the first lap. Disappointed, Zach now looks forward to Indy and will begin preparing himself for his first oval race with the Firestone Indy Lights next month. "We had a really good start. With Carlos ahead of me I had a pull, something that (Jack) Hawksworth didn't have. Obviously he could tell in a way that I was gaining on him. I felt that we were going to get him going into Turn 1. I kept gaining on him and he kept trying to muscle me to the wall. At that point I was to a spot that I couldn't lift. I was to the wall so I gave him as room as I absolutely could."
The IZOD IndyCar Series will pack up and head to the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil for the next round of competition on May 5. The Firestone Indy Lights drivers will next take to the track in May for the Freedom 100 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Organic 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Dietary Supplement – Natural Appetite Suppressant & Weight Loss that Does Not Strain the Liver : No Unproven Exotic Substances, Non-Pill, Non-Capsule, Non-Powder, Liquid-Fast : 8.45oz
Posted by admin in Weight Loss on 18-10-2011
- Unlike many diet pills, capsules or powders, which contain unwanted fillers or additives like ephedrine or caffeine, or calorie burning blends, liquid-fast VCO simply makes you feel fuller and stop the cravings or hunger pangs, as long practiced and remained effective today as 5000 yrs ago in ancient civilizations in Asia/India – no mixture of exotic unproven substances, without "brain tricks" that could trigger jitters, unpleasant or hazardous side effects.
- VCO is good for weight loss because it contains lower calories (due to its small size molecules) than other dietary oils – olive, canola, soy, corn, safflower, and even much lower than fish or salmon caloric counts.
- VCO is composed largely (2/3) of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), which are easily digestible in the liver for quick energy expenditure (just like a non-excessive carbohydrate or protein) – but, unlike long chain fatty acids (LCFA) predominant in other vegetable/seed oils – canola, corn, olive (82% LCFA), soy, rapeseed, safflower, or worse, from animal fats – which take a long time to metabolize as they end up as stored fats in cells.
- VCO promotes thyroid gland functions, which control metabolism or energy use. Conversely, mono/polyunsaturated vegetable oils with their slow-digestible LCFA are called "high-fat fats" (soy, corn, canola, olive, etc). All these LCFAs depress thyroid gland hormones, thus reduce metabolic rate…. and when metabolic rate or energy use is reduced, weight gain is produced.
- Natural and Organic – 100% Pure, Unblended Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) by Manila Coco Bio-Essence is pressure-induced food grade coconut oils through proprietary advanced mechanical expellers, without the use of solvents, no hexane, nor any chemical. Our VCO is naturally stable, and uniquely beneficial saturated fatty acids. As such, it acts as natural appetite suppressant in the same manner as other nuts, fruits, and vegetables are. More so, it is devoid of toxic trans fatty acids, protects cells from free-radical damage, and free of bad-cholesterol enhancing properties – gaining its scientific claim as – The Healthiest Oil on earth…
Product Description
Manila Coco's Virgin Coconut Oil liquid supplement for appetite control and weight loss contains largely the optimum amount of beneficial medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), which are easily digestible, thus, promote metabolism faster than other dietary oils. NO MIXTURE OF UNPROVEN EXOTIC SUBSTANCES, but simply coconut, a 5000 yr old therapeutic fruit. It is distinct from unsaturated hydrogenated vegetable fats, and saturated animal fats (lards/shortening), pre-dominat… More >>
