5 Brilliant,StevieB1 | 04/06/2007 | See all StevieB1's reviews (1)In my opinion, it's very easy to give a game top marks if you love it that much. Okami isn't perfect, but no game is and despite that it still deserves top marks considering it is a games on an "old" platform.This is as close to a Zelda game on the PS2 as you could find (even more so than 'Beyond good and evil'). And that's not a criticism, the quality essence of Zelda is something game makers should strive for. From the slighty annoying (but nonetheless entertaining) tiny companion to the quasi-RPG character development this really hits the nail on the head.Personally, I don't care for the graphical style. A lot is made of this game's original presentation, and while unique does little to enhance the game itself. It may not have the splendour of a 'Final Fantasy XII' or 'God of War' but by it's own standards is almost perfect.Of course, graphics do not make a game, and it is playability where Okami shines. An almost perfect learning curve and engaging story with a witty script kept me hooked right until the end. The 'Celestial Brush' aspect is clever and never feels like it disrupts the flow of the gameplay, even during the epic boss battles (the fights with giant spiders are particularly inspired). On occasion I found myself accidently using one technique when I intended to use another but this was the exception rather than the rule and the controls are remarkably responsive.The sound can become repetitive at times. There is no speech, every character speaks in a kind of made-up babble and I found myself hurrying through conversations but this does little to detract from game; it will never allow you to miss something important.Overall, this game (considering it has been released towards the end of the PS2s life) really shows the full capabilities of the system and could easily have been a XBox360 or PS3 release.It is not the kind of game that will last for 100+ hours but neither is it the kind of game that you can fit a quick half hour in.Okami is entertaining, challenging and a joy to play.
5 Unknown GemImranS | 06/05/2007 | See all ImranS's reviews (40)Wow! I don't know where to begin on describing quite possibly one of the most beautiful, engrossing games ever made. At this price it is a bargain and a crime not to buy. The graphics are truly breathtaking and really push the the ps2 to the edge. Gameplay is very original with a unique way of vanquishing enemies and it packs a lot of hours into the game. One of the hidden gems which people should be buyin instead of the tripe of movie cash-ins and yearly updated sports sims.
5 Amaterasu shinesHappyGilmore | 01/05/2007 | See all HappyGilmore's reviews (1)To any who think that now we are officially in the next generation the previous one doesn't matter is sorely mistaken. This is a beautiful game like no other. It's humorous, its characters are endearing and you never feel tired of it. You soon become accustomed to the voices and the only negative I can think of is its length. But that only goes to increase its value and the urge to play it all over again.
5 Beautiful and captivatingbecky112 | 01/08/2007 | See all becky112's reviews (6)This is by far the best game I have ever played on the PS2. Don't let the fact that it's cell shaded put you off; the graphics are stunningly beautiful, the environments change and move with you. You play as the sun goddess Amaterasu, who has taken the form of a white wolf. Many of the interactive people in the game see you in different forms, depending on their 'faith'. Some will ask you to help them, and when you do their faith boosts your strength and you can learn new fighting abilities and attributes. The brush techniques are original and fun to use. You must find the 13 Gods of the brush to learn new techniques. This is so much fun as you never know what the next one will be. The storyline is immersive and has many twists and turns to keep you hooked. It's also amusing, you will find your companion Issan very entertaining! Boss battles are adrenaline filled and, although not challenging provide a chance to test your abilities and get you used to the brush. The art and design of this game is incredible and it took me about 50 hours to complete, including the secrets and bonuses etc In a word, I would say this game is amazing, and I'm so in love with it that I refuse to lend it to anyone incase they lose it! Buy it NOW!!
5 Not to be missed!!Michilicious | 11/06/2007 | See all Michilicious's reviews (3)If you are even considering buying this game you should stop considering right now. Just buy it!! I have played this game start to end and can tell you it is one of the best games I have played in a long while. The gameplay is brilliant, nothing ever gets tiresome (not even running, he speeds up the longer he's running and leaves a trail of flowers! Something I never tired of seeing), it's challenging with puzzles and the battle mode is one of the msot original I've come across, being able to stop time to use your pen to add to your attacks. The characters, even the ones you only see once, are amazing. They each have their own unique and fabulous personalities and the fact that they talk jibberish (the audio) doesn't matter!The graphics are flawless, unique and some of the most beautiful graphics I have seen to PS2 yet and the controls are a dream. None of that annoying camera faffing that really puts you off some games.It probably could stand to being a bit harder, you don't really die all that often. But in saying that, battles against the bosses are a challange and the game is long without dragging on. There are plenty of side missions to do if you get bored of the main plot and is very open for you to just run around maps like a mad wolf if you want to. You can interact with everything, you can slash trees and houses and feed the wildlife, anything you can think of doing, give it a try, something will probably happen.

@literally45-- That's a good question. I'm not really sure but I have a friend who has a wedge haircut and she has a long oval face. It looks good on her.
By the way, I think short, wedge haircuts look best on women over forty. We're in that age group, and I think it suits us well. When a twenty-year-old has a wedge haircut, I feel like it makes her look a lot older than she is.

EUGENE, Ore — Police are investigating a fire at an abandoned, city-owned building.
Just after 3 a.m. Monday a call came in that a fire had started at the Trudy Kaufman Senior Center on South Jefferson Street.
Police say they think the fire began when homeless people broke into the elevator shaft of the building and started to cook.
District Fire Chief Mark Grover says that the fire was contained in the shaft and didn't spread to the rest of the building. No injuries or major damages to the building were reported.
Police continue investigating the possible break-in of the building.

This article falsely says that a twin study assumes twins are treated equally. Actually, twin studies don't assume that two twins are treated equally to each other. Rather, the studies assume that fraternal twins are treated no more similarly to each other than "identical" or monozygotic twins are. This is called the "equal environment assumption" and is generally wrong.

BRYAN, Tx (KYLE) — The plans for a $2 million dollar expansion of the Rudder High School fieldhouse are now on hold.
This week the district's school board decided to re-do the selection process for who will manage and design the construction project after local companies vying for the job opposed the selection process because none of them were chosen as finalists.
The three finalists selected were from out of town.
Now the committee will not pre-screen applicants to a short list of finalists like they had before.
It's unclear how long this will delay the project.

Business Continuity Planning -
Customer Disclosure Statement
GMP Securities, LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will be flexible in responding to actual events. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
Contacting Us - If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at (800) 452-4528 or +1 (212) 692-5100 or through Bloomberg or internet email, you should call our alternative number +1 (214) 387-0255 or go to our web site at www.gmpsecuritiesllc.com. If you cannot access us through either of those means, you should contact our clearing firm, J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. at +1 (212) 552-1919 for liquidating orders, check and wire requests, and ACAT transfers only.
Our Business Continuity Plan - We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and will respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.
Our clearing firm, J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp., has several information technology processing and backup sites that, collectively, provide the redundancy required to protect their books and records. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its stated recovery times for mission critical systems range between real time recovery and 4 to 12 hours. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.
Varying Disruptions - Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope. The disruption might affect only our firm, or a single building housing our firm, or the business district where our firm is located, or the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. It is our intention to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through our web site at www.gmpsecuritiesllc.com or through messages recorded on our customer emergency number, +1 (214) 387-0255. However, if the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer's prompt access to their funds and securities.
For more information - If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at +1 (212) 692-5100 or at www.gmpsecuritiesllc.com or at our customer emergency number +1 (214) 387-0255.
The Firm's business continuity strategy is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients and customers even in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. The plan is designed to work in many different emergency situations; but these events are, by their nature, unpredictable and it is impossible to anticipate every scenario that could cause a business disruption.

Converting Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Dopamine Neurons for Parkinson's Disease
Read more
Funding Type:
Comprehensive Grant
Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed:
Public Abstract:
Parkinson's disease is caused by the death of a small number of brain cells that produce an important chemical called dopamine. Without dopamine, patients literally cannot move. Most people with Parkinson's disease take drugs such as L-dopa to help replace the chemical deficiency and make it possible to walk and all the other aspects of normal life. The problem with the drug L-dopa is that it must be taken every few hours. Before drugs, patients cannot move. Within an hour, movement is possible but those may have become exaggerated and abnormal. That cycle of "off" and "on" characterizes the daily life of people with Parkinson's. To replace the dead cells, fetal dopamine cells have been transplanted into the brains of humans with Parkinson's disease since 1988. The transplanted cells survive in the brain without immunosuppression and can supply the brain with dopamine. In some patients, the transplants can replace the need for L-dopa. Because recovery of dopamine cells from aborted fetal tissue fragments is difficult, only 300 patients in the world have had transplants. To improve cell transplantation and make it available to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit, a new source of cells must be developed. Human embryonic stem cells are likely to be that source. My laboratory has been doing research on Parkinson's disease for many years. I have developed and evaluated new treatments for the disease including brain transplantation of dopamine cells. With colleagues who share experience in neurotransplantation for Parkinson's disease and in stem cell research, we will produce dopamine neurons from human embryonic stem cells and transplant those cells into animals which have a condition similar to Parkinson's disease. If these human cells successfully treat animals, these same cells could be used to treat people with the disease. Under current regulations, federal government funds can be used only for research on a few embryonic cell lines developed before August 2001. All of those cell lines are contaminated by contact with mouse cells and are unsuitable for human therapy. Funding by the California stem cell initiative will make it possible to work with new cell lines that could ultimately be used for treating people. CIRM funding is essential to accomplish our goals.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Parkinson's disease cripples about one million people in the United States and at least 100,000 in California. The cost of the medication and doctor visits averages about $12,000 per patient per year. Even with effective drugs, patients have daily fluctuations in condition, sometimes they cannot walk at all and sometimes their arms and legs are flailing out of control. Human embryonic stem cells can be converted into the dopamine neurons that Parkinson patients need. If our research can show that transplants of these cells can improve Parkinson's disease in animals, then the same cells could be used to treat patients in California and around the world. The need for drugs could be eliminated. The improved quality of life and the savings in drug costs could be substantial. The biotechnology involved in generating these cells may provide additional economic benefit since cells will be manufactured in sophisticated laboratories.

- Excess triglyceride production in the body, usually related to genetics
- Excess ingestion of triglycerides from food sources
- Kidney problems
- Liver disease
Risk Factors
Facters that may increase your risk of high triglycerides include:
- Increased age
- Sex: male
- A family history of hyperlipidemia
- A diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol
- Postmenopause in women
- Lack of exercise
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Excess alcohol intake
- Certain conditions, including:
- Certain medications, such as birth control pills and isotretinoin, which is used to treat acne
High triglyceride levels
usually do
not cause symptoms. Very high levels of
triglycerides can cause:
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting—associated with acute pancreatitis
Elevated triglyceride levels
can increase your risk of
This is a dangerous hardening of the arteries. It can end up blocking blood flow. In some cases, this may result in:
- Angina
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Other serious complications

This condition is diagnosed with blood tests. These tests measure the levels of
in the blood. The National Cholesterol Education Program advises that you have your lipids checked at least once every five years, starting at age 20. Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends lipid screening for children at risk, such as those with
a family history of
or significant obesity starting between 2 to 8 years old. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends routine screening at 9 to 11 years old and again at 17 to 12 years old.
Triglycerides may
be part
of a fasting
lipid profile
blood test including:
- Total cholesterol
- LDL (bad cholesterol)
- HDL (good cholesterol)
- Triglycerides
Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier testing if you have a:
- Family history of hyperlipidemia
- Risk factor or disease that may cause hyperlipidemia
- Complication that may result from hyperlipidemia
Treatment is not only aimed at correcting your
levels, but also at lowering your overall risk for heart disease and stroke.
Diet Changes
- Eat a diet low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol .
- Reduce or eliminate the amount of alcohol you drink.
- Eat more high-fiber foods.
Lifestyle Changes
- Maintain a healthy weight .
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit .
- Exercise regularly . Talk to you doctor before starting an exercise program.
- Make sure other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are being treated and controlled.
There are a number of drugs available, such as
, to treat this condition and help lower your risk for heart disease.
have been shown to reduce
heart attacks
, and stroke in patients with high triglycerides. Talk to your doctor about whether these medications are right for you.
These medications are best used as additions to diet and exercise and should not replace healthy lifestyle changes.
To help reduce your chance of getting hyperlipidemia, take the following steps:
- Have cholesterol tests starting at age 20—or younger if you have risk factors.
- Eat a diet low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit.
- Drink alcohol in moderation—two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly. Talk with your doctor first.
- If you have diabetes , control your blood sugar.
- Talk to your doctor about medications you are taking. Some may have side effects that cause high triglyceride levels .

Linden Lab's Second Life 'extremely profitable,' company looking to expand {Massively}
Mar 22nd 2012 8:16PM Second Life has been and always should be about user-generated content.
Instead of asking their own company to make things more interesting, they should hold a contest to see who can do it the best.
It would generate a LOT of new and exiting content on a scale bigger than LL could do own their own.

Wallet-busting buds: Sennheiser IE 800s cost $1K
How much can you spend for high-end earphone tech? Sennheiser's top-end beauties challenge that question at CES.
LAS VEGAS--Looking for bleeding-wallet-level headphone gear? The Sennheiser IE 800 earphones emerged at CES Unveiled, costing $999 and promising the best in-ear performance anywhere, period.
The IE 800s have been hanging around for much of 2012, but they're making a stronger push at this show. The extremely tiny buds have an absurd range of 5Hz to 46,000Hz. A dual-vented design is meant to reduce any unwanted distortion, and the overall sonic impact is meant to be extremely natural, with a slightly elevated bass level to counteract the noises of commuting.
Listening to them, they are impressively crisp. But $999 crisp? That's up to extreme audiophiles to decide. With a variety of ear tips, they were comfy in my ears. The IE 800s are being shown along with other over-ear Sennheiser headphones at CES 2013.

Shortly before her affair with Rupert Sanders was revealed, Kristen said she wants a family with Rob!
Historically speaking, Kristen Stewart has made a conscious effort not to discuss her relationship with Robert Pattinson during interviews — but she threw caution to the wind when she sat down with a reporter from British Vogue. "My God, I'm so in love with my boyfriend," Kristen said, apparently unprovoked. "I wish he were here right now. I think I want to have his babies."
Yes, you read that right; Kristen said she wants Rob's babies.
Here's our question: Why did she suddenly decide to open up? This interview was conducted weeks before her affair with Rupert Sanders was revealed, so is it possible K-Stew was speaking out of guilt?
Regardless of why, it sounds like Kristen might still have a shot at a family with Rob. The couple has reportedly been having secret meetings in a mutual friend's guest house!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Why did K-Stew decide to blab about Rob all of a sudden? Drop us a comment with your opinion(s)!

She did say that why would someone just make that up is not the first time she says something about robert last year she said her bf was english and then she said that her life can be googled and is so obvious and then an interview she did this year elle magazine it took place in a library and she saw bel book and all of a sudden she says that my bf did this fucking movie and another magazine interview she did this year they told her about the ring she wears all the time and she says its so obvious everyone already knows but on this interview she open up about her relationship with robert she was just telling a stranger private things like the lick under the armprints thats to personal why would she shared that to the world if shes a "private person"i think it was guilt i bet she was already cheating on rob this interview was first then 3 weeks later she cheats so that means this intervies was in july.

She only said those things cause she was guilty. She wouldnt have said that if she wasnt cheating. Shes overly private about their relationship. In my opinion, shes not mature enough to have kids. She plays games and shes pretty selfish and inconsiderate. I dont think a child would even be suited in her lifestyle. If rob took her back, its probably because he would be lost trying to find someone else. It will be hard to find someone who doesnt want him for his money. Plus she probably told rob she would grow up after this. She knows how to get what she wants. That man is just settleing for what he feels he deserves. Rob is holding on to someone who toys with his mind and starts trouble and constantly plays hard to get. Kristen is telling him everything he wants to hear riight now to get him back. She knows what shes doing.

In that complex situation this placed KS, because first needs to be emotionally stable person herself, then having emotional stability with her partner and finally to be mature emotionally, give emotional stability to the offspring. Because if this is not so she will have a family emotionally sick, that she takes her to the disaster and no longer how to get back.
So that the responsibility of a family is very important, and this is not the moment to say will be so easy do it.
pretty dreams, good luck to KS!

i think she's just trying to make up for her mistakes by saying this!! she had a choice to stay with him and she ditched him for a 30 year who is married and has kids! and i really dont think they should get back together, i wouldnt support it because what she did wasn't a mistake it was a choice she had and she took the wrong one!!!!!

These are the last two people who should be thinking about children right now, such a scary thought. Many couples have had children when things get rocky, thinking a baby will solidify thier connection, I Really hope that does not happen here, I really think given the time Rob and Kristen have to spend apart (because of filming), this reconcilliation has a good chance of not working out. Just an observation, but a picture really is worth a thousand words, check Kristens body language in the above photo from comic-con. Turned away from Rob, shoulder up, fist cleanched, doesn't appear to be enjoying Robs proximity at all. (and yes KStwers, I know she had her arm around little Mackenzie Foy but she could have wrapped her other arm around Rob) Kristen is turned away from Rob in quite a few photos from when the cast was all standing together, this was days before she cheated.
I worry about the hearts of FANS who are still struggling with internal emotional chaos – whether it is true or not, the media continues to jerk our hearts around AND what if it ISN'T true – again? U KNOW these extreme Twilight obsessions were PREVENTABLE and THAT'S why we're so crazy over Robsten right now. Hollywood intentionally causing young, obsessed fans this kind of pain is wrong.

I think Kristen will do anything now to get back to Robert. If he said to her: "ok go back to each other but only if you promise that you will never fool me as soon as possible and give birth to my children," and she was "ok no problem" and meet in small meetings where they are trying to fix your relationship by … pregnant. then be known that he would not betray him. :)

A pregnancy would be a perfect reason to stage a scandal for privacy. They have an abundance of it now. Is she is pregnant they should see it as a blessing. Things might seem scary but you guys can do this. Your baby will be safe. I have two of my own and wouldn't change that for the world. If Kristen is pregnant already and there are rumors she is, I know her and rob will be amazing parents.

Posts Tagged 'sea sponge tampons'
It's That Time of the Month Year Again! (Giveaway ~ US/CAN CLOSED)
Last year, in the spirit of Earth Day, I made a resolution.
I must admit - it wasn't something I was terribly excited about doing at first – I looked at it as taking a pretty big risk and did not have a lot of faith that it would work out well.
But as I look back over the past year, I can say with full confidence that I'm a total convert and wouldn't go back for anything.
What I did ranges from being no big deal for some (and indeed, seems like nothing out of the ordinary to me now) to being a huge, potentially weird and disturbing deal for others.
In short – I made the switch from using disposable menstrual products (pads and tampons) to using reusable menstrual products – cloth pads (or as it is sometimes known – 'mama cloth'), a menstrual cup, and sea sponge tampons.
I wrote all about my initial experiences in various posts you can find HERE – they include reviews of Moms Crafts 4 U (along with Earth Mama Angel Baby Monthly Comfort Tea), Lunapads, GladRags, the Diva Cup, Sea Sponge Tampons, and Party in My Pants.
Now that I've been using these products for an entire year, I wanted to share a bit more about my experiences. I'm not gonna lie – I'd love to help convert you too (I'm even sweetening the deal with a cloth pad giveaway at the end of this post)! Read the rest of this entry »
Can I Have a Green Period, Too? (Giveaway ~ US & Canada – CLOSED)
Welcome to the Earth Day Blog Carnival
This post is part of the Earth Day Blog Carnival hosted by Child of the Nature Isle and Monkey Butt Junction. Each participant has shared their practices and insights of earth friendly, environmentally conscious, eco-living. This carnival is our way to share positive information and inspiration that can create healing for our planet. Please read to the end of this post to find a list of links to the other carnival participants. Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
It's been such a blast throughout this past week sharing reviews and my experiences with Mama Cloth and other natural menstrual products, getting your feedback, and realizing that making the switch wasn't so hard after all.
I know I was a little worried in the beginning that I would spend money and find out I really didn't like one or all of the products I picked, but truly, I would be happy with any of them over disposable pads and tampons any day – I'm only sorry I didn't make the switch sooner!
If you haven't gotten a chance yet, please check out my reviews on Moms Crafts 4 U (along with Earth Mama Angel Baby Monthly Comfort Tea), Lunapads, GladRags, the Diva Cup, Sea Sponge Tampons, and Party in My Pants
And if you're still on the fence, here are a few Earth Day inspirations that might help to bring you over:
- Over 20 BILLION disposable pads, tampons, and applicators will be added to landfills every year in North America alone. The disposal of these products releases dioxins and other toxic chemicals into our rivers, lakes and oceans and pollutes our soil.
- A woman will use on average 13,000 disposable menstrual products in her lifetime. ONE cloth pad has the potential to replace 140 disposable pad/tampon products.
- ONE cloth pad can last up to 5 years.
- Disposable pads and tampons used in an average woman's menstruating life will cost her $4500 compared to $200-$750 for reusable pads and tampons.
- Many pads and tampons are chemically treated to whiten, perfume, and make them more absorbent. They are also made of synthetic fibers. Given the sensitivity of the vaginal area to chemical absorption and the number of disposable menstrual products a woman uses in her life, this is a really big issue.

STILL not convinced??
Well, that's OK, because Becoming Crunchy has gotten together with WAHM Veronica from Moms Crafts 4 U, who has generously donated three 8" cloth pads AND a $10 gift certificate good for anything in her wonderful Etsy shop for one lucky winner from today's post – you may just get a chance to try before you buy!

Is Mama Cloth Really for Me?
All this week at Becoming Crunchy, I've been reviewing Mama Cloth, or cloth menstrual pads, along with reusable tampon-like products – the Diva Cup and Sea Sponge tampons (even wrote a guest post on this topic over at The Cloth Diapering Mama!)
I'm very excited to host a mama cloth giveaway tomorrow as part of the upcoming Earth Day Blog Carnival hosted by Child of the Nature Isle and Monkey Butt Junction, but I wanted to do a little wrap-up of my experiences and reviews before we go ahead with the giveaway.
Did I Make the Right Decision?
I'm gonna answer that one with a big "Heck Yes!!"
I really want to emphasize – I was so not all about mama cloth when I first heard of it; I decided to give it a try because I had read so many great reviews, and because I would prefer my daughter to use natural products over disposables when she gets to that point in her life, but I really didn't expect to like it.
Now I'm just wishing I had made the decision sooner!
This is just one of those things I know I will never regret doing; there are too many benefits that outweigh the negatives of using disposable pads and tampons.
OK…Then Which One Should I Use?
My personal, number one recommendation? Read the rest of this entry »
There's a Party in My Pants!
That's because I'm reviewing Party in My Pants – the cloth pad company that definitely wins the award for the best name ever! (Seriously – I bought from them because of their name! )
If you're just catching up with Becoming Crunchy today, I've been reviewing mama cloth, or cloth pads from various businesses, along with reusable tampon-like products.
So far I've covered Moms Crafts 4 U (along with Earth Mama Angel Baby Monthly Comfort Tea), Lunapads, GladRags, the Diva Cup and Sea Sponge Tampons.
I also got the great opportunity to guest post over at The Cloth Diapering Mama today – I would love for you to go check out my post on Looking at That Time of the Month in a Whole New Way - especially because it includes information on how you can help support girls and women in countries around the world who are being deeply affected by an inability to afford sanitary menstrual products – a cause that is very dear to my heart.
I have one last review this morning, a post later on today with a few wrap up points, and a giveaway tomorrow!! (A chance to try mama cloth or add to my stash without spending $$? Don't mind if I do!). The giveaway will also be part of tomorrow's Earth Day Blog Carnival hosted by Child of the Nature Isle and Monkey Butt Junction, so it's definitely going to be a great day for some good reading.
All that housekeeping out of the way, let's get started… Read the rest of this entry »

Office of the Chief
On January 31, 2011, Brian J. Klimakowski became the 5th Chief of Police in the history of the Manchester Township Police, having done so after nearly 24 years of distinguished service. Chief Klimakowski began his career in law enforcement at the age of 19, starting as a police dispatcher in 1987. Approximately one year later, Chief Klimakowski was hired as a patrolman and was assigned to the department's Patrol Division. In 1998, he was assigned to the department's Detective Bureau where he quickly earned a reputation as an astute and thorough investigator. In 2000, Chief Klimakowski was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and returned to the Patrol Division as a shift supervisor. In 2002, Chief Klimakowski was once again promoted, this time to the rank of lieutenant, where he was assigned as the commander of the department's Investigative Division. Chief Klimakowski's record of promotions continued in 2007, when he was promoted to the rank of Captain. As Captain, Chief Klimakowski served as the Patrol Division Commander as well was the head of the department's Office of Professional Standards. Upon the retirement of Chief William C. Brase in January of 2011, Brian J. Klimakowski was sworn in as both the Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police.
Chief Klimakowski, who spent most of his life as a resident of Manchester Township, moved here with his family in 1977. He attended school in town and subsequently graduated from the Manchester Township High School in 1986. At the age of fourteen, Chief Klimakowski joined the Manchester Township First Aid Squad and served ten years as a volunteer, becoming the youngest Captain in Squad history. At the age of sixteen, he began working as a lifeguard for the Township's Recreation Department and did so until he was hired as a police dispatcher three years later.
Chief Klimakowski, a strong proponent and steadfast advocate of higher education, has an Associate in Science degree in Criminal Justice from the Ocean County College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is currently completing his Masters of Administrative Science in Global Leadership and Administration, also from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Chief Klimakowski is a graduate of the West Point Command and Leadership program, is a Certified Public Manager (CPM) and is a Certified Law Enforcement Executive (CLEE).
In addition to the everyday duties of the Chief of Police, he is responsible for the following duties within the Division:
- The establishment and maintenance of efficient operation of the Police Division.
- The organization, control and maintenance of all property and resources within the Division.
- The development of the written organizational structure of the Division to include the chain of command as well as all duty assignments.
- The development and implementation of all directives necessary to govern the day-to-day operations of the Police Division.
- The maintenance of overall discipline within the Division.
- The maintenance of constructive relationships with the public, community
- organizations, the media and other law enforcement agencies.
- The preparation and submittal of annual budgets and proposed expenditure programs to the appropriate authority or other designated officials.
- The allocation of funds within the budget which have been appropriated by the governing body.

Effects of kelp (Macrocystis integrifolia andEcklonia maxima) foliar applications on bean crop growth

In 1983 and 1984 field plot experiments were established to assess the effects of a foliar applied (2 or 4L ha−1×four applications per season) kelpMacrocystis integrifolia, concentrate on growth and nutrition of bean,Phaseolus vulgaris. A commerical kelp concentrate, prepared fromEcklonia maxima, was also used as a test comparison. In the first year a phytohormonal extract of theM. integrifolia concentrate, designed to extract the cytokinin, auxin and gibberellin phytohormones, was also applied to the crop to test the thesis that these phytohormones are active constitutents. In each of the two field seasons the kelp concentrates increased harvestable bean yields on average by 24%. The phytohormonal extract also increased yields, but was less effective than the kelp concentrate itself. Bioassay results demonstrated the presence of phytohormone-like substances in this crude extract.

It's a standard question in the young-actor interview playbook—a warm-up, really. But ask Joseph Gordon-Levitt who he'd most like to work with, and after cursory nods to the Coen brothers and Quentin Tarantino, he pauses to really think and comes up with this: "You know who I think are really, really great and smart are the Gregory Brothers. You know who I'm talking about? They do Auto-Tune the News. They did that Antoine Dodson thing last year. I just think they're really brilliant with the art that they make. With the remix art that they make." It's an unusually humid summer day in Gordon-Levitt's native Los Angeles. The actor is sitting on a bright-orange couch on the third floor of a borrowed Beverly Hills mansion. At 30 years old, Gordon-Levitt looks like he'll carry the descriptive phrase "boyishly handsome" for another half decade at least. His frame is slightly sturdier than you'd expect, given how often he plays guys who occupy the zone between adolescence and adulthood. He's composing himself after an all-day photo shoot and easing back into his own clothes: a pair of worn black boots, dark Levi's and a black T-shirt that bears the red-dot logo of hitRECord.org, the online community/group-sourced production company he founded in 2005. His dark hair is buzzed short. His narrow mouth, which until now hasn't risen much past its X-axis, lifts into a smile when he discusses the little artistic network he presides over. "This might sound cheesy, but I really do—I get excited about people that you wouldn't know about," Gordon-Levitt goes on.
"There's a guy on hitRECord named Wirrow," he says of one London-based member who only goes by his screen name. "He's a brilliant storyteller, great writer, artist, illustrator, animator and musician."
Gordon-Levitt is in L.A. on a brief respite from London, where he's filming The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment in Christopher Nolan's $500 million Batman trilogy. It is his second outing with the director, who helped hoist the actor's profile to another level last summer when he cast him in Inception. After Batman, Gordon-Levitt is off to work alongside Daniel Day-Lewis on Steven Spielberg's long-gestating Lincoln, in which he'll play the 16th president's eldest son. He is due to appear in at least four films next year. This month he stars as a 27-year-old cancer patient in 50/50, a Seth Rogen-style stoner comedy that treads in deeper existential waters than that sort of thing tends to.
In short, Gordon-Levitt, former child actor turned critical darling, is having an honest-to-God moment. "It's like when you invest in a house and then a nice restaurant opens across the street," jokes Rogen, who played opposite Gordon-Levitt in 50/50 and, as a co-producer, had a hand in hiring him.
And yet, presented with a hypothetical free pass to work with anyone he'd like to, Gordon-Levitt is name-dropping the Internet pranksters who set local newscasts to R&B beats and some guy in England he met on the Web.
An actor with an outside interest isn't exactly new in Hollywood. Gordon-Levitt, though, belongs to a generation of young performers who seem determined not to let one business or creative pursuit define them, or are at least bent on taking their side gigs beyond serviceable blues-rock-band territory. The hitRECord project places him somewhere on that continuum beyond freshly minted MySpace minority stakeholder Justin Timberlake but short of the hurricane of culture that is James Franco. Even Ashton Kutcher has somehow reimagined himself as an angel investor.
Gordon-Levitt chalks all the extra creative energy to a lowered barrier of entry. "On a consumer-level computer, you have all the tools necessary to produce and distribute a movie," he says. Rogen, who's worked with both Franco and Gordon-Levitt, cites an ennui with the traditional moviemaking business that is particular to its younger veterans. Whatever the cause, Gordon-Levitt has found himself both a rising star of old media and a new-media instigator.
The premise of hitRECord.org is simple. Users upload text, film, music or visual art with the expectation that other community members will, to use Gordon-Levitt's preferred terminology, "remix" away. He is a fan of the Harvard Law professor and new-media scholar Lawrence Lessig, who has written in praise of remix culture and advocated for intellectual property distinctions that are better tailored to the digital age. "When I was younger, I had some weird neurotic phobia about people interacting with this work that I had done," says Gordon-Levitt, who began acting at 6. "I loved going to work every day, but I sort of wished that we could have just burned the film….As I grew older and became less of a selfish little kid, I grew to care about how what I was doing connected with other people." In its six years of existence, hitRECord has grown from a single Web page to a bustling community of 50,000 members. On a vibes level—a very important one for the semi-social-network set—it fits right in with crowd-sourced creative enterprises such as Etsy and Threadless. The whole production just happens to be run by a guy whose every move this summer has been tracked by the comic-book paparazzi. "When I put something out there and somebody remixes it in a way that I didn't expect," Gordon-Levitt says with the earnest bearing of a do-it-yourselfer, "that, just the physical sensation of it, is so much more intense to me than any applause or award or any of that. That's real feedback."
RegularJOE, a relentlessly positive online version of Gordon-Levitt, rules the hitRECord sandbox. He pops up in videos all over the site to cheer on the public workshop and make in-jokes about copyright law. If he sees something he likes, he promotes it through the remix process, often playing along as it goes. Last year he starred in, directed and narrated the site's most realized work to date, Morgan and Destiny's Eleventeenth Date. The ultratwee seven-minute short made use of a screenplay written by a member in Ireland and visual components from users in Scotland and Tampa, Fla. About 50 members contributed music for the soundtrack. The finished product played at Sundance.
"It's really just a way for me to do projects and work with people besides the insular Hollywood industry," Gordon-Levitt explains, sounding as sure of the creative force of the hive as he is of the studios. Of course, he is in a position to do all this precisely because he's the product of the insular Hollywood industry. By his teens, Gordon-Levitt was a regular on NBC's 3rd Rock From the Sun. He briefly attended Columbia before a mid-2000s return to acting when he made a name for himself as a real-deal adult talent with well-received roles in indies such as Brick and Mysterious Skin. He had as close as he's had to a breakout moment so far as the ultraromantic protagonist of 2009's (500) Days of Summer. His squinty-eyed, sensitive and slightly inscrutable smart-guy appeal has earned him a cult following among Web-savvy groupies. There are not one, but three "F--k Yeah Joseph Gordon Levitt" blogs on Tumblr, none of which should be confused with the "JGL FTW" Tumblr or the "JGLGIF" Tumblr.

Study: Nicotine Patch May Help Fight Memory Loss
The latest weapon in the fight against memory loss may be found over-the-counter in your drug store.
New evidence suggests that the nicotine patch could boost brain power.
A Vanderbilt study shows those who wore a nicotine patch for six months did better on memory and thinking skills tests; while those on a placebo patch did progressively worse.
"We think that nicotine can directly stimulate cells in the brain that are helpful for attention and memory," said Dr. Paul Newhouse, from Vanderbilt University.
Researchers said those benefits do not mean people should start treating their own memory malfunctions with nicotine -- in patch or cigarette form.

Aug. 21 - 7:52 pm et The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Justin Duchscherer (hip) is headed for the disabled list.The newspaper previously reported that Duchscherer had a "good chance" of avoiding the DL, but he'll be placed on the shelf after receiving a cortisone shot in his injured hip. The A's are hoping to get him back in early September. Dan Meyer is expected to replace him in the rotation.

How to slow Peyton Manning
There's no easy fix, but stopping the run and disguising coverage is a start
Sitting at 11-3 and currently the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Denver Broncos have won nine games in a row. And with remaining games against Cleveland and Kansas City, they have the inside track on a first-round playoff bye. Peyton Manning is playing like the MVP of the league, and it seems like ages ago that people were questioning whether he could ever return to football coming off his neck surgeries.
Now that he's back and healthy, it's easier to remember that Manning has been under center in the NFL for 14 years. And while you can't truly stop a Manning-led offense, it is possible to slow it down if your team does a couple of things right.
Here are the keys to slowing down a Peyton Manning-led offense:
A full team effortThis is going to sound simplistic, but it's the starting point. The first thing to understand is that slowing down a Manning-led offense requires total focus from the entire team, not just the defense. Your offense can't turn the ball over. You have to run the ball effectively, stay on the field and convert third downs to chew up the clock. You want to limit the amount of possessions Manning gets. And your punter and kicker are critical to keeping Manning working with a short field on every possession he does get. Literally, anything that can be done to limit his ability to get into a rhythm helps.
Stop the run
On defense, the first thing you must do is to stop the run with a seven-man box. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Broncos have 184 rushes for 749 yards (4.1 yards per carry) in the first halves of games this season. John Fox knows how potent this play-action attack is from having faced it as an opposing coach for so many years. He is committed to running the ball, even if doing so only picks up small chunks of yards at a time. Fox -- and Manning -- know that the payoff will come in the second half.
