We have calculated the energies and the Landé -factors for 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 4f6p, 5d7s, 5d6d, 4f2, 6p2, 6s6d, 6s7s, 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, 6s6p, 4f7s, 4f6d, 5d7p, and 6s7p excited levels of singly ionized lanthanum (La II). These calculations have been carried out by using the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian (MCHF+BP) and the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method. The obtained results have been compared with other works available in the literature. A discussion of these calculations for La II in this study has also been in view of the MCHF+BP and HFR methods.
1. Introduction
Lanthanides constitute a group of elements characterized by similar chemical and physical properties. The presence of this group in the periodic table is determined by behaviour of the radial part of the wave function for the 4f orbital, which collapses for the values of atomic number and fills in the first (internal) minimum of the electrostatic potential [1]. The rare-earth element lanthanum () is a product of neutron-capture fusion reactions that occur in the late stages of stellar evolution. Lanthanum's abundance relative to other rare earths in stars of different metallicities can lead to insights on the nature of the dominant neutron-capture production sites throughout the Galaxy's history [2].
The lanthanum atom is the first member of the rare-earth elements. It has two naturally occurring isotopes: 138La (0.085%) and 139La (99.910%). Meggers viewed first the spectra of singly ionized lanthanum [3, 4]. Later, Russell and Meggers analyzed the spectra of La II [5]. Grevesse and Blanquet determined the abundance of singly ionized lanthanum in the sun [6]. Spector and Gotthelf performed configuration interaction in La II [7]. Xie and coworkers investigated Rydberg and autoionization states of the singly ionized lanthanum [8]. First, ionization potential of lanthanides by laser spectroscopy was studied by Worden et al. [9]. Sugar and Reader obtained by means of a semiempirical calculation ionization potential of singly ionized lanthanum [10]. Eliav et al. reported ionization potential and excitation energies of La II [11]. Theoretical energy levels in La II were calculated by Kułaga-Egger and Migdałek [12]. In the past, different groups [13–26] investigated oscillator strengths, transition probabilities, lifetimes, and the hyperfine structure in singly ionized lanthanum by various experimental and theoretical methods. A list of energy levels for excited states was completed and presented by Sansonetti and Martin [27] and can be found on the NIST website [28].
In this work, we have presented the energies and the Landé -factors for 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 4f6p, 5d7s, 5d6d, 4f2, 6p2, 6s6d, 6s7s, 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, 6s6p, 4f7s, 4f6d, 5d7p, and 6s7p excited levels of singly ionized lanthanum (La II). Calculations have been carried out by the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian (MCHF+BP) [29] and the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method [30]. These codes consider the correlation effects and relativistic corrections. These effects make an important contribution to understanding physical and chemical properties of atoms or ions, especially lanthanides. The ground-state configuration of La II is [Xe] . We took into account with various configuration sets according to valence-valence and core-valence correlations for correlation effects outside the core [Xe] in La II. These configuration sets used in calculations have been denoted by A, B, C, and D for the MCHF+BP, and A and B for the HFR calculations and given in Table 1. We have performed the atomic structure calculations on lanthanide atoms and ions, systematically. We reported some works related to these atoms and ions using the methods mentioned above [31–42]. In addition, we presented the energies of 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, and 6p2 excited levels and ionization energy for La II by the MCHF+BP method [34]. In this work, we have considered more levels than in [34] and added the Landé -factors for these levels.
2. Calculation Methods: MCHF and HFR
In the MCHF method [29], atomic state functions can be obtained as a linear combination of configuration state functions (CSFs) in coupling, The mixing coefficients and the radial orbitals are optimized simultaneously, based on the expectation values .
In the MCHF method, the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian for relativistic corrections is taken as a perturbation with order . The Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian includes relativistic effects. This Hamiltonian can be written as follows: where is the nonrelativistic many-electron Hamiltonian and is the relativistic shift operator including mass correction, one- and two-body Darwin terms, spin-spin contact term, and orbit-orbit term; fine structure Hamiltonian HFS consists of the spin-orbit, spin-other-orbit, and spin-spin terms. Now, the multiconfiguration wave functions are obtained as linear combinations of CSFs in coupling. Therefore, the radial functions building the CSFs are taken from a previous nonrelativistic MCHF run and only the expansion coefficients are optimized. Therefore, the matrix eigenvalue problem becomes where is the Hamiltonian matrix with the following elements The Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian is a first order perturbation correction to the nonrelativistic Hamiltonian. The Landé -factor of an atomic level is related to the energy shift of the sublevels having magnetic number by where is the magnetic field intensity and is the Bohr magneton. In pure coupling, the Landé -factor can be taken given by formula (8) in [43]. The Landé -factors for energy levels are a valuable aid in the analysis of a spectrum. These factors which are a measure of the magnetic sensitivity of atomic levels can be calculated using the code developed by Jönsson and Gustafsson [43] according to MCHF wave functions.
In the HFR method [30], for electron atom of nuclear charge , the Hamiltonian is expanded as in atomic units with the distance of the th electron from the nucleus and . is the spin-orbit term with the fine structure constant and the mean potential field due to the nucleus and other electrons.
Wave function of the sublevel of a level labeled is expressed in terms of basis states by the following formula:
Using determinant wave functions for the atom, total binding energy is given by where is the kinetic energy, is the electron-nuclear energy, and is the Coulomb interaction energy between electron and , averaged over all possible magnetic quantum numbers.
This method calculates one-electron radial wave functions for each of any number of specified electron configurations, using the Hartree-Fock or any of several more approximate methods. It obtains the center-of-gravity energy of each configuration and those radial Coulomb and spin-orbit integrals required to calculate the energy levels for the configuration. After the wave functions have been obtained, they are used to calculate the configuration-interaction Coulomb integrals between each pair of interacting configurations. Then, energy matrices are set up for each possible value of , and each matrix is diagonalized to get eigenvalues (energy levels) and eigenvectors (multiconfiguration, intermediate coupling wave functions in various possible angular-momentum coupling representations).
Relativistic corrections to total binding energies become quite large for heavy elements; the main contributions come from the tightly bound inner electrons. In the HFR method there have been limited calculations to the mass-velocity and Darwin corrections by using relativistic correction to total binding energy:
The Landé -factors in HFR calculations have the same formula as in MCHF calculations. Here, the calculations for the Landé -factors have been performed according to HFR wave functions.
3. Results and Discussion
Here, we have calculated the energies and the Landé -factors for 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 4f6p, 5d7s, 5d6d, 4f2, 6p2, 6s6d, 6s7s, 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, 6s6p, 4f7s, 4f6d, 5d7p, and 6s7p excited levels outside the core [Xe] in La II using the MCHF+BP [44] and HFR [45] codes. We have presented the several excited level energies and transition energies for La I and La II [34]. We have performed new various calculations for obtaining configuration state functions (CSFs) according to valence-valence and core-valence correlations. Moreover, it is well known that the Landé -factors are important in many scientific areas such as astrophysics. Table 1 displays the various configuration sets for considering correlation effects. The results for energy levels and the Landé -factors of La II have been reported in Table 2. In this table, the calculations for the various configuration sets are represented by A, B, C, and D for the MCHF+BP and by A and B for the HFR calculations. A comparison is also made with other calculations and experiments in the table. References for other comparison values are typed below the table with a superscript lowercase letter. Only odd-parity states in table are indicated by the superscript "o."
Electron correlation effects and relativistic effects play an important role in the spectra of heavy elements. Thus, we have to consider these effects for lanthanides. However, it is very difficult to calculate the electron correlation for these atoms because of their complex structures. Although this provides useful information for understanding the correlation effect, computer constraints occur. Therefore, we increasingly varied some parameters in the MCHF atomic structure package (maximum number of eigenpairs, maximum number of configuration state functions, maximum number of terms, and maximum number of coefficients) so that the calculations for the configurations above could reasonably be made. The energies and the Landé -factors for 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 4f6p, 5d7s, 5d6d, 4f2, 6p2, 6s6d, 6s7s, 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, 6s6p, 4f7s, 4f6d, 5d7p, and 6s7p excited levels outside the core [Xe] in La II are calculated by the MCHF+BP and HFR methods. The obtained results have been presented as energies (cm−1) relative to ground state in Table 2.
In the MCHF+BP calculations, it is taken into account core [Xe] for calculations A and B and core [Cd] for calculations C and D for La II. The odd- and even-parity levels of calculations A, B, and D are considered the only interaction between the valence electrons, whereas odd- and even-parity levels of calculation C were an included interaction between valence-valence electrons and core-valence electrons. In the MCHF+BP method, firstly, for configurations selected according to valence-valence and core-valence correlations, the non-relativistic wave functions and energies were obtained. In the configuration interaction method, energy levels are performed using wave functions obtained taking into account relativistic corrections. Then the Landé -factors for energy levels are calculated using the Zeeman program developed by Jönsson and Gustafsson [43].
In the MCHF+BP calculations, we have reported that the levels belong to 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 5d6d, 6p2, and 6s6d for even-parity and 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, and 6s6p for odd-parity in Table 2. We presented the energies of several even-parity levels from obtained calculation A in [34]. Although configurations of calculation B are the same with calculations of calculation A, MCHF run is different. When our MCHF+BP results were compared with others [12, 28], the energies for most of levels are in agreement. levels obtained from calculations A and D and levels obtained from calculations A and C are good in agreement with other works. The agreement is good for 5d6s 3D levels obtained from calculation C and 5d6s 1D level obtained from calculation A. The result obtained from calculation D for 6s2 level and the results obtained from calculation A for 6p2 are in agreement when comparing with others. The results obtained from calculations A and B are also somewhat in agreement for 5d6d and 6s6d levels. 4s6s, 5d6p, and 5d6p levels are good in agreement with others. The 4f5d level is somewhat poor according to other works. It can be said that these cases occur due to unfilled and, in particular, subshells. The configuration including these subshells complicates the calculations in the MCHF method. Results that obtained the Landé -factors are in quite good agreement with others.
We have studied with two configuration sets (in Table 1) for considering correlation effects in the HFR calculations performed using Cowan's computer code [45]. These configuration sets are also given in Table 1. This approach, although based on the Schrödinger equation, includes the relativistic effects like the mass-velocity corrections and the Darwin contribution beside the spin-orbit effect. In these calculations, the HFR method was combined with a least-squares optimization routine minimizing the discrepancies between observed and calculated energy levels. The scaling factors of the Slater parameters ( and ) and of configuration interaction integrals () were chosen equal to 0.75 for calculation A and 0.70 for calculation B, while the spin-orbit parameters were left at their ab initio values. These low values of the scaling factors have been suggested by Cowan for neutral heavy elements [30]. In Table 1, it is taken into account the configuration sets including core [Xe] for calculations A and B of La II. The energies and the Landé -factors for 5d2, 5d6s, 6s2, 4f6p, 5d7s, 5d6d, 4f2, 6p2, 6s6d, 6s7s, 4f6s, 4f5d, 5d6p, 6s6p, 4f7s, 4f6d, 5d7p, and 6s7p excited levels are presented in Table 2. The agreement between our energies and the Landé -factors from the HFR calculation obtained according to A and B configuration sets and other works is very good.
These energy data and the Landé -factors for La II can be useful in investigations of some radiative properties and interpretation of many levels of La II. Because magnetic fields play a major role in many scientific areas such as astrophysics, the calculation of the Landé -factor is important. The experimental values for Landé -factors of rare-earth elements are far from being complete. We hope that the results reported in this work will be useful in the interpretation of atomic spectra of La II. Many feature characteristics of the spectra of neutral atom or ions of lanthanides remain preserved for lanthanide ions implemented in crystals. This is one reason for the wide interest in the application of lanthanides as active media in lasers. In addition, knowledge of electronic levels of lanthanides is important in astrophysics, since it allows precise determination of the abundance of particular elements. Also, the analysis of electronic levels is very important for a description of the interaction in creating chemical bonds or crystalline lattice. Consequently, we hope that our results obtained using the HFR and MCHF methods will be useful for other works in the future for La II spectra.

Will Collier emailed this AJC story and asked, "Now, why do I suspect that there's a word missing from this article? One that starts with "M"?"
See if you can guess:
A Clayton County man faces murder charges in the strangulation death of his 25-year-old daughter early Sunday over what police said was her desire to end an arranged marriage.
Chaudhry Rashad, 54, apparently became angry during an argument in which the victim, Sandela Kanwal, told him she wanted out of the marriage, Clayton police spokesman Timothy Owens said.
Unlike Britain, sharia isn't yet considered a legitimate method of settling private disputes. Let's keep it that way.

I guess those evil Christian fundies aren't the only ones who don't support a "woman's right to chose", huh?

I am not sure if you are right in this one. Honor killing is really a feature of, how to say, less enlightened societies. Maybe religion plays part, but the underlying reasons are deeper.
Honor killings happened in other religions, too. For example, the Yazidis stoned a girl to death about a year ago for loving a muslim boy, and somebody actually recorded it on his phone camera. You can see those videos, they are pretty awful.
Also, a couple of years ago, there was a news at LGF where an Iranian Christian guy killed her daughter for honor reasons. AFAIR, Charles correctly noted, that honor killing is more about culture than religion.
Also, if you think about it, Alexander Hamilton's death was also, after all, about honour, even if Burr was "not supposed" to kill Hamilton.
I think the reason people associate honor killings with Islam (not that I would defend it) is because we hear a lot of honor killings from that area, and it happens to be, that the most popular religion over there is Islam. But it is important to be clear on this.

Working in a prison, everyday I see a lot of men who got there because they went after the guy who was with their woman, beat or killed their woman for being with some other guy, beat or killed their woman for possibly being with some other guy, killed some guy for making fun of their woman, beat some guy for having a better-looking woman, killed someone who had a woman while he didn't, and so on and so forth, ad damn near infinitum. Even gay guys do it, so it's not even exclusive to heterosexuals. It's about "honor" in the broadest sense, and it's rarely cultural unless you want to say, as some certainly do and have facts to back them up, that ours is a culture where men go apeshit when they think their woman is trying to get out from under their thumbs. Most killed women get that way because of men who are fathers, husbands, or "lovers" in some sense.
But at least in this country, we don't let the killers get no more than a slap on the wrist. Except sometimes.

What I was talking about (and is relevant in this case) is being ostracized, feeling being ostracized, or feeling humiliated, if the family's honor is hurt. This is cultural, and such, obviously external. In such cases, the best (only?) way to "remove the stain" is to kill the one responsible for it. Richard Landes at Augean Stables writes a lot about this honor-shame culture.

Motorcycle gangs, street gangs of various races, "Travelers", drug dealing networks and others work from this sense of "honor" as well. Some of it is familial as well.
I'm not ignoring the point that these Islamic families are pretty much fucked in the head. I'm just pointing out that they aren't all that different from many other groups that act from a place where the group controls or tries to control wayward individuals, or else. Nor am I ignoring the way in which many governments condone this crap by giving light sentences to those who do the families' wet work, if any investigation takes place in the first place.
There are more extremists than Muslim extremists is what I'm saying. Cultural relativism? Of a sort, but note that I'm not saying they're less bad in comparison so much as saying we're less good than we'd like to think. And if that's America-bashing, then I can live with being the one to point out that stupidity is wrong even if it comes from an insider rather than The Other.

The difference is, currently only one culture is trying to impose honor killings as a legal norm — if not here (yet), then in other friendly countries.

Collier may be a bigot. Would you expect the paper to tell you if the guy were Christian, or Jewish, if he kills his daughter? It's not _relevant_. And there's plenty of Muslim communities and societies where this is plain unacceptable.

Actually, looking down at Collier's weird post on Brit judges accepting Sharia in private contracts — scratch "may be." I meant, "is." Mr. Green — that's goofy, too. I've been to a lot of Muslim cultures. In many of them this kind of honor killing in anathema. When you say that "one culture is trying to impose honor killings as a legal norm" — that sentence is _wrong_. Many elements of Muslim culture are fighting hard against them. I've also been to parts of Africa where honor killings are accepted in Christian or animist settings. Poor, backward societies treat women pretty badly, and Islam, worldwide, correlates pretty well with poverty right now. Your idea that Muslims are somehow trying to impose this kind of brutality everywhere mistakes correlation for causation and does so with suspect motives.

Capt K,
I think maybe you're new here – the name doesn't ring a bell. So I'll spell out a thing or two, because as I'm sure you know, blogs usually use shorthand.
What Will and I both mean is "Islamist" culture — a small subset of Islam as a whole. Obviously, most Muslims don't agree with honor killings. However, I might argue the point that the majority is fighting the minority. In many places, the Muslim majority has been cowed into silence by the Islamist minority's violence and brutality. And, yes, they're sure as hell trying to impose an ancient form of sharia, complete with honor killings.
Such is the case not just in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province, but in Denmark (remember the cartoons?), the Netherlands, and Great Britain, too. That's a legitimate concern for someone of any liberal value system.
As for my — or Will's — motives, you might want to ask a question or two, and maybe wait for a response, before throwing around accusations of bigotry.

What is really galling to me is a follow-up article which gives the impression that this is a case of "arranged marriage for you but not for me" as the father is married to an African-American lady, but the daughter had a different surname. Perhaps that could a result of him being widowed and then remarried, but its a little rich the guy is marrying whomever he wants, but that isnt allowed for his daughter.

Judging by the names, the people may well be Hindu, who indulge in arranged marriages at least as much as M*slims

I went to Dollar Tree and got a bottle because I wasn't sure if this would work or break out my face. Best dollar I've ever spent! I put it on after my sunscreen and then do my makeup and it's great! It feels nice, no smell, keeps my pores and shine in check ( I have combo skin), make up looks good all day and it's great as an eyeshadow primer as well. It doesn't look chalky although it will leave some white marks if it you don't blend well but they come off easy. No breakouts either!

i have SUPER oily skin. Other girls that tell me they have oily skin don't compare to the amount of oil i have on my skin. With that said, this product helped very little to control the oil. So really, this product didn't help my oil problem at all. Maybe this would help on girls with less oil production than I do.

I bought the Original Phillips brand of Milk of Magnesia and thus far I really like it as a primer. I have really oily skin and it keeps my skin from getting not at oily. I was really nervous about using this because after all it is a laxative and the idea of putting a laxative on my face did not seem appealing, but nothing seems to stop from keeping my face from getting oily. The product packaging has its upside and its downside. It comes in a huge bottle (since it is a laxative) so you get a lot of product for only a couple of dollars, but because the bottle is so big it's hard to use the product. I poured it into a smaller bottle that I bought from the 99 cent section of Target. Firstly, I wash my face and I don't know how much of the product other people use, but I use about a dime size. I rub it between my palms (like I would with lotion) and then I apply it on my face. It sometimes does leave white residue, but this can easily be wiped off with your fingers. Afterwards my face feels matte and my makeup is applied flawless. I've been using it for the past week and I've had makeup on all day and I've gone to dance practice and although my face gets sweaty my makeup is still in place. My face gets really oily if I do not use enough of the product, but if I use the right amount, I still get a tad bit of oil, but it's more like a natural shine.

I never considered buying this product until I read about its use as an oil absorber here on MUA. I have to say I was very skeptical but if it didn't work I wasn't out a bunch of cash so I grabbed a small bottle & set out to give it a try.
I've used this several times now and I have to say it's almost automatic for me now. After some trial & error I found what works best for me;
I bought one of those travel bottles (4oz size) & I mix up about 1oz MoM & 3oz purified water & use a cotton pad to dab it on my T-zone AFTER I apply moisturizer. After drydown there is a VERY slight white residue/film. I then apply my foundation (Philosophy Supernatural ABC) I have increasingly large pores & normal combination skin. This makes my pores virtually disappear (hurray!) & I don't have to use any powder or blotting papers for at least 8 hours. My skin also appears smoother & this *seems* to lessen the appearance of my forehead lines. I have not tried this with a liquid foundation as I don't own any atm.
I also tried this on my eyelids as mine tend to be oily & it works pretty well for that too!
BIG THANK YOU's to the person who first discovered it & to those of you that posted about it for me to find here =D

I was seriously hesitant about trying this (something about putting a laxative on my face...) but I was so desperate! I live in a humid climate and with summer quickly approaching, I knew I had to do something. I am glad to report, THIS WORKS! There is no funky smell or weird, slimy feel, it just feels like putting on moisturizer. It also didn't dry out my skin or cause breakouts on my acne-prone skin.
I apply it with a wedge before I put on my makeup. I had read about chalky residue so at first I didn't use enough. It was pretty easy after that to find the right amount. I use more than the dime-sized amount some say to use, but that might just be me. I also recommend keeping a smaller amount in a travel bottle. Makes it easier to use.
After about an hour, I develop a tiny amount of shine (looks more dewy than oily or shiny) but it never gets worse than that. Aside from cutting the oil, the best part of this is that my makeup stays in place *all day*. I don't have to worry about touching my face or blot sheets taking off my makeup. I am out for 10-12 hours a day most days and my makeup stays place all day.
A real lifesaver!!!

After reading through hundreds of reviews about Milk Of Magnesia as a make up primer, I finally decided to spend $7 for a HUGE 26 fl oz bottle. I made sure it was the original, with neither flavoring or added ingrediants (as some brands contain mineral oil, acne-prone skin's worst enemy!).
I have always had excessively oily, acne-prone skin. I tried both Clinique and Smashbox primers, neither potent enough for my skin to hold up to their claims. It was always an hour later when my face returned to its usually greasy appearance. I'm not sure how I came across MoM but it definitely intrigued me with it receiving so many good reviews. And I have to say, I can see why!
From my experience so far, this isn't a miracle product... BUT, it is the best product I've tried to date! For $7 this is the BEST primer I could ask for. I can also easily see this bottle lasting me longer than a year while using it on a everyday basis.
At first I put a thin layer with a makeup sponge and it did absolutely nothing for me. Then after watching YouTube video reviews, everyone recommended using a cotton ball or just their fingers.
So this is what I do: After I wash my face, tone, and moisturize. I shake up my MoM bottle, open it, take the cap and pour a little MoM in it. Then with clean fingers I pick some up and apply a thin layer to my whole face, gently wiping it everywhere. I then apply a little more to my t-zone, as it's of course the most oily area. After the MoM dries, I check to make sure there is no white marks left. If there are, they can easily be rubbed in with your fingers. Afterward I apply my concealer, liquid foundation, powder, blush and eye makeup as normally.
One hour later, my makeup still looks flawless. Three hours later, my makeup still looks perfect but I can see a sheen starting to come through on my nose, but only my nose. 5 hours later, I need to blot and powder but still, mostly just on my nose and a bit on my t-zone... yet my makeup is still in place! WOW, amazing as usually my makeup just fades and separates throughout the day. Also, when I usually can't wear eye shadow, this makes it stay in place all day while also keeping my eyeliner from smudging. Truly a bonus! So far it hasn't made me break out or cause any adverse reactions either!
I am seriously in love with this stuff. Like I said, it's not a miracle product so don't get your hopes up too high but it really is an incredible find for such an awesome price and amount. Honestly, I was really skeptical about this but I let my curiosity get the best of me and I'm so glad I did! Please give it a chance my fellow oilies! :)

I love MOM. I use it before applying my foundation, and even when I have white streaks, once I apply the foundation, those white streaks disappear for the whole day! Also, my Studio Fix usually oxidizes, making me look orange-r and darker. When I use MOM as a primer, It does not change color and my oily skin stays matte. When I use it, I shake it up, and pour some in the lid. Then I take a cotton swab and apply it to my eyes and face. This is all I use on my face under my foundation and powder.
NOW for my eyes! All eye primers crease on me. I apply MOM and then any primer and I am so serious - my eyeshadow looks like I just applied it until I wash it off!!

I use this as a 'primer' really. You have to be careful not to apply too much though because if you do then you will have a white line or film over your face. I usually use three dots and that covers my 'problem' areas perfectly. So, far less than a dime size application for me. I stay un-oily for most of my 9/11 hour work day. Total BONUS for me! :) I may have to touch-up once though...usually this is around the half way mark of my day...which (for me) isn't bad at all!

i have very oily, non-sensitive skin. without this product (as a primer), i'm constantly blotting, and (mineral) foundation separates into a terrible mess on my face half way through the day. yeah, its tough. i finally took the leap in trying this product after finding out some people have been using it as a primer. i've been using it for a week and its absolutely awesome! i don't ever have to blot my face through the day (can you say miracle!?). its easy to apply; just a thin layer (i use a make up sponge) or else you'll have white residue on your face, but just wipe it a little and it'll come off. i don't recommend this to people who have anything other than an oily face or if you have sensitive skin. it will dry your face out causing a break out. however like i said, i'm very oily and i have not broken out from this.
Wash face with cleanser (i use st. ives olive cleanser)

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
A native plant of the Dakota prairies, wavyleaf thistle should not be confused with the noxious Canada thistle that infests our cropfields and gardens. Wavyleaf thistle is found on dry open soil from British Columbia to Texas and eastward to Michigan and Iowa, at elevations up to 9,500 ft.
This thistle has rose-purple flower heads that may be over two inches wide and an inch and a half tall. For floral beauty, these heads contrast nicely with the leaves and stems that are whitish gray because of a covering of wooly hairs. However, most people object to the sharp yellow spines that project from the intricately cut leaves and the sides of the flower heads. The thick perennial taproot of wavyleaf thistle penetrates deeply into the dry prairie soil. At maturity, the airborne seeds (achenes) with their feathery bristles are termed thistledown.
Wavyleaf thistle is avoided by livestock, but does not seem to increase in heavily grazed pastures, regardless of this obvious competitive advantage over more palatable plants. The thick roots of wavyleaf thistle were cooked for food by several tribes of native Americans. Thistledown is relished by birds for food and nest linings.
This plant is a member of the huge sunflower family (Asteraceae), in which the flowers are grouped into heads. Aster means "star" in Greek, in reference to the radiate arrangement of the flowers in the heads. The generic name is derived from the Greek cirsos, "a swollen vein," for which the early herbalists thought thistle a remedy. The specific name undulatum refers to the wavy leaf margins. Wavyleaf thistle was first described under a different genus by English naturalist Thomas Nuttall in the early 1800's. The species was later given its currently accepted name by the distinguished German botanist Curt Sprengel (1766-1833), professor of medicine at Halle.

Francis Upritchard
Francis Upritchard | |
Born | 1976 New Plymouth, New Zealand |
Francis Upritchard (born 1976) is a New Zealand born artist living in London. Upritchard represented New Zealand at the 2009 Venice Biennale.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand. She graduated from Canterbury University of Fine Arts in 1998. That same year she moved to the UK where she lives and works.[2]
In December 2001 the Bart Wells Institute was established by Luke Gottelier and Francis Upritchard in a large squat in East London. The Bart Wells Institute ran for about two years and exhibitions were curated by artists including Sam Basu, Brian Griffiths, David Thorpe and Harry Pye.[3]
Upritchard was short-listed for the Becks Futures prize for an exhibition she made 2003 Save Yourself, a small mummy surrounded by funerary urns which lies on the gallery floor vibrating and moaning. A packet of cigarettes is tucked into its bandages, and a single glass eye can also be seen.[4]
In 2005 Upritchard had simultaneous shows in the Andrea Rosen Gallery and Salon 94. The sculpture Torcello, Balata Figures and a selection of found objects were arranged over two large plinths. Sculptures of sloths, monkeys, orrerys and rocks. In 2005 she also won New Zealand's Walters Prize for art, after being shortlisted for her Artspace show Doomed Doomed All Doomed in 2005.[5]
It was announced in 2008 that Upritchard, along with Judy Millar, would be New Zealand's representatives at the 2009 Venice Biennale.Upritchard's installation was entitled Save Yourself. This was Upritchards first major installation of furniture with figures. Across thee rooms in Fondazione Claudio Buziol Palazzo, 3 over sized tables which made up the works Long, Lonely and Dancers, with a mix of references including psychedelic culture, hippies, Pieter Bruegel the elder and Erasmus Grasser.[6]
In the 2009 show Feierabend at Kate Macgarry, Upritchard showed with the jewellery designer Karl Fritsch and furniture designer Martino Gamper. The show blended craft, design and fine art in a seamless way, to a point where the viewer became unsure of the authorship of each work. Gesumptkunsthandwerk at the Govett Brewster in the show 'Stealing the Senses' was a further exploration of this collaboration. The show was shown again later at Hamish McKay gallery in Wellington. This show included ceramics and bronzes made together by Fritsch Gamper and Upritchard, alongside sculptures and lamps by Upritchard, rings and ornaments by Fritch, furniture and bowls by Gamper.[7]
Upritchards first solo museum show in 2009 in Europe was at the Vienna Secession called In die Höhle (into the Cave). The show included works combining furniture and figurative sculptures referencing Sol LeWitt, Gustav Klimt, Beethoven Frieze and Weiner Werkstatte.[8] Her second, at Nottingham Contemporary in 2012 was called A Hand of Cards.[9] Also in 2012 she showed at Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Centre, a show called, A Long Wait.[10] In 2013 Upritchard's show Poato Poem [11] will show in MIMOCA museum in Marugame, Japan.
Francis Upritchard is represented in the US by Anton Kern Gallery, in the UK by Kate Macgarry and in New Zealand by Ivan Anthony Gallery.
In 2004, Nieves published a small artist book of Upritchards Heads of Yesteryear which consisted of 19 drawings of Pakeha severed heads in black and white photocopy, which had a British flag as a cover. The edition was 100 copies.[12]
Human Problems, designed by James Goggin (Practice) was co-published by Kate Macgarry and Veenmen. It included a short piece of commissioned fiction by Hari Kunzru about an anthropologist who becomes increasingly deranged in an unspecified village.
Doomed Doomed All Doomed was designed by James Goggin (Practice) and was published by Artspace. The booklet includes an essay 'Seventeen reduced Propositions For Francis Upritchard' by JJ King and Mathew Hyland and accompanied Upritchards solo show at Artspace, Auckland in 2005.
Dent-de-Leone is a publishing hut based in London which Upritchard joined in 2008 when she collaborated with Abake on the artist book Every Colour By Itself. '[13] After editing the book Bart Wells Institute with Luke Gottelier she joined the publishers as a member.[14]
In 2010, the 70 copy first edition of the In die Höhle (into the Cave) which was co-published with Secession. This artist's edition includes images of Upritchards sculptures from solo show at the Vienna Secession, a specially commissioned short story of a man who journeys to a strange island by the author David Mitchell. The second edition was co-published between Secession and Koenig Books and included a reworked version of the first edition with additional photos of the Secession Installation.
The book Save Yourself was published in 2009 to coincide with Upritchard's participation in the Venice Biennele. It includes essays by Heather Galbraith, Francesco Manacorda and Melanie Oliver. It was designed by Kalee Jackson and published by the Govett Brewster.[15]

The only difference of this motor is the back plate. A better way to solder the cables making the motor more compact and less vulnerable in crashes. But no difference in performace to the normal 1920 series. I was lucky last year to ask him about a better solution and he was just in the development of that. The motor has enough power to backflip the bike at any point of the straight. I always try to adjust it that its always on the edge to a wheely throughout the whole lap. That results to a steady raise in rev. from the beginning of a straight to the end. 5 Amps more on the limiter and I am in trouble. |

One driver made a complete backflip with no injuries at all. First words he said: "I´ve seen St. Peter calling me..." Seems that driving your bike is stressful enough to fear anybody... |

..the problem with his Motor is - it actually has way too much power for a Bike. So no matter how you gear it - you always have to tame it by limiting the Amps.
This weekend was the first time I really noticed the difference between the usual 1/10 Car Motors (4.5T Star, 8T Delta) and a Lehner. At about 60% of the straight, when my Motors screamed for Mercy, the Lehner really gave one more punch, easily gaining 5-10 meters. But even on this track, power is not the thing that gives you a good laptime.. Tight lines, good braking and smooth power is what helps a lot more. The slowest bike (on the straight) started from second place into the finals - driven by the youngest Driver in the field. |

The Warmup is coming close and I am still not prepared .
I will be on the Track in a weeks time. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tires for the JABBER Drivers: Alex, Helly, Irmi, Bernhard, Aaron, Panti, Steff, Willi and myself. And a set for the Austrian Nitro Driver Rudi. Zero made 49 to go |
May 16, 2012, 03:35 PM | |
Opened a new 20g tube of 406 made 14front and 17 rear.. still a fifth left in the bottle. Was a good hint to check how much glue a tire needs, thanks, a bit less than 2L. Anyway I needed 3 bottles of beer... 2 and the bottle on the picture is still full . The 4 tires on the far left with the "E" on them are my rear ones. Usually I do my tires last... (unluckally) as I started them, Simon "the Bomber" Lancaster gave me a call and I had to listen to what he wanted to tell me. While on the phone I glued them so I guess MY tires are fu'&ed, thanks Simon....anyway next is pressure test and then the last step to finish them.

The quest for longer fuller eyelashes has caused some women to draw more attention to their eyes than they bargained for. The glue used in eyelash extensions as well as the solvent used to remove them has been reported to cause allergic reactions and potential for eye infections, reported Consumer reports.org.
Eyelash extensions are single synthetic fibers that look like eyelashes. They are glued one by one to natural eyelashes.
The glue used to fix them in place is commonly formaldehyde-based, may have rubber latex or some other type of biologically acceptable glue. Allergies can occur from contact with these products.
Eyelash enhancements, such as adding small jewels or beaded toppings threaded on ultra-fine wire then glued to the eyelashes, is another risky eye embellishment. While they do look fanciful and fun, wearing anything that close to your eye really sets you up for an injury if your eye were to be scratched by any of these objects.
Even false eyelashes can cause trouble. Removing false eyelashes can pull on your natural ones causing them to thin. It is easy for women to get stuck in a cycle of feeling that they need to wear artificial eyelashes as their own start to look more sparse.
Excess traction on your eyelashes from either eyelash extension or false eyelash removal can cause traction alopecia, which can damage the hair follicle so the eyelashes do not grow back.
False eyelashes can also trap dirt and bacteria making eye more susceptible to irritation and infection.
"The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) warns that among the potential dangers associated with cosmetic eyelash extensions and the adhesives used to apply them are infections of the cornea and eyelid, permanent or temporary loss of eyelashes, and eyelid swelling." (2)
If you decide you still want eyelash extensions, AAO suggests going only to a certified aesthetician, and watching that she uses good hand-washing technique, and asking about the ingredients in the adhesive glue.
Alternatively, ConsumerReports.org suggests that you just stick with mascara. Make sure you practice good handwashing before you apply it.

SEED Sprouts a New Dining Experience in the Heart of Kaimuki | Restaurants
Title (Max 100 Characters)
SEED, a new restaurant, is springing up in Kaimuki, serving a unique farm-to-table menu and helping provide employment for the island's at-risk population.
Located in the space previously occupied by Bella Mia at 1137 11th Ave., this restaurant offers "food on a mission." The exceptionally healthy menu relies on local sources for freshness and sustainability, while the staff is built around survivors of homelessness, human trafficking, and domestic abuse, along with other at-risk individuals, who receive work training and an economic opportunity.
"SEED is about doing business the right way," said SEED project manager Sonya Seng. "Business can be an expression of justice and joy. The name SEED was chosen because it speaks of hope and change. A seed is just the beginning."
"We support island farmers and cultivate an urban garden on the premises for that just-picked freshness. We think our guests will taste and feel the difference," said head chef Yiuing Lee Pinches, a Honolulu native who's culinary work has taken her to from the Bay Area and L.A. to Osaka. She returned to Oahu to help open SEED.
Food offerings include creative variations of popular regional dishes featuring island-produced, chemical-free ingredients.
Signature SEED items include the fresh catch-of-the-day, a baked katsu-style chicken served with innovative dipping sauces, a spicy and robust stir-fry based on a rich variety of local greens and vegetables, and a complete protein vegetarian chili with beans, grains, greens, peppers, squash and other seasonal elements.
The regional menu is complimented by SEED's selection of fresh juices and juice combinations. "Some restaurants pair wines. We pair fresh juices. After all, our juices have a much broader flavor palette, with a subtlety that any connoisseur can appreciate," said Pinches. Signature drink offerings include "The Real POG" containing fresh passion fruit, orange and guava.
SEED's commitment to the freshest ingredients is reflected in the restaurant's design, which includes a window garden overlooking 11th Avenue. There are also plans to create a rooftop garden and an herb wall.
SEED is a justice enterprise of Bluewater Mission, a faith community in Honolulu which runs recovery homes for survivors of local human trafficking, those healing from domestic abuse, the recently homeless and other at-risk individuals. SEED provides flexible hours, training, and a supportive community enriched by a team of volunteers.
"Leaders recognized that job rehabilitation was an essential ingredient to people's recovery, but we wanted to meet this need in a truly just way. SEED was designed to provide justice through our job training and hiring, while also serving just, locally-sourced food," said Jordan Seng, leader of Bluewater Mission.
SEED plans to apply for a liquor license but in the meantime invites guests to bring their own alcoholic beverages to enjoy with their meal.
SEED is open for dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The restaurant will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, Feb. 28, 2014. Following the grand opening, SEED will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dine-in and takeout orders are available.
For more information, please visit www.SeedHawaii.com, call (808) 732-1137 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow SEED on Twitter www.twitter.com/SeedHawaii, Facebook www.facebook.com/SeedHawaii, and www.Instagram.com/SeedHawaii.

When reaching approx. 30 mph a "roaring" sound started coming from the rear of the car. Turned out to be a bad right rear hub/bearing unit - which was covered under 60k mile warranty. There is a TSB 10-028 that has been issued.
Problems for specific Honda Accord years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported 2010 Honda Accord problems
Vibration When Braking Due to Rotor Problem
The front brake rotors can warp and cause a vibration when braking. The rotors will need to be machined or in cases where they are worn to thin, replaced to correct this issue.
ABS Modulator May Leak Air and Cause Low Brake Pedal
The ABS modulator (hydraulic unit) can leak air into the brake system and cause a low brake pedal. A new ABS modulator will be needed if it is diagnosed to be the source of the leak.
"No Start" Due to Ignition Switch Failure
Ignition switch failure may cause the car to stall or fail to start. Honda issued a recall to replace the ignition switch. For more information on this recall please click here»
The Brake Pedal May Feel Hard After Vehicle Has Set For Extended Time
If the brake pedal feels hard the first time it is pressed in the morning, it could be due to a problem with the vacuum supply hose for the brake booster. A revised brake booster hose is available to address this concern.
Plugged Moon Roof Drains May Cause Water Leak
Plugged moon roof drains can cause a water leak inside the car. The water will usually leak onto the driver's or passenger's head when the car turns a corner.
Mis-manufactured AC evaporator
On some models a mis-manufactured AC evaporator core can cause the AC to cool poorly. The AC evaporator needs to be replaced for the AC to cool properly.
Power Door Locks to Activate Intermittently
Power door locks can activate intermittently due to a faulty door lock actuator in the driver's door.
Check Engine Light Due to Air Fuel Sensor Fault
The air/fuel sensor, located in the exhaust system, may be damaged by moisture in the exhaust resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. Replacing the damaged air/fuel sensor and updating the powertrain control module (PCM) software should correct this concern.
Front Compliance Bushings May Crack
Front compliance (lower control arm ) bushings tend to crack and break requiring replacement.
Problems Shifting Into 3rd Gear
Some models have shift quality problems when shifting into third gear. A new "third gear set" from Honda will address this issue.
Dome light may not work due to poor electrical ground
A poor electrical ground can cause the dome light not to work.

ok, so a few months ago, when kennen was 1st released, i was one of the many players which was dazzled by the bright shining flashes this little ball of lightning made. when i bought this 6.3k little midget, i was fascinated on how fun his lightning rush worked and how cool his surge seemed like. i was a tad disappointed by his shuriken but was at awe at how cool his lightning storm seemed like. then.....after playing a few games with the guy, while following almost every guide which seemed decent, i realized.....on how lack luster this champion is. all his skills seemed very easy to use and learn at first glance, but when you play in a real game, i found out that this combo was very hard to pull off. and even after you pulled it off it seemed to deal such negligible amounts of damage. the stun seemed niffy and strong but seemed wayyyy too situational to be able to chain. the energy system also seemed way too restraining for a caster type champ. i was also surprised and saddened to find out that the marks could easily be cleansed. much to my dismay, i decided to stop playing this seemingly bad champion, as i told myself "maybe this isn't for me" and regretted wasting 6.3k IP because he seemed cool. months past and i completely forget that i ever bough this champ. then i decided to play akali. she seemed to be hard to pull off at the beginning, but i finally got the hang of her. during the double IP weekend, i found myself with an excess amount of IP, and so i decided to waste it on some energy runes. couple of seals here, glyphs there. i heard that energy runes were bad based on forum testimony, and for a time i believed them. but when i tested them out, i was surprised on how my akali's performance suddenly boomed. no longer do i have those moments where i could have almost had the kill had my energy been 5 more. no longer do i encounter moments where my skill is already in cooldown, but i dont have enough energy to use it. i could burst for longer durations and dish out consistent damage. i had enough energy for my shroud for those "need to run" moments. then i thought......"what if?" i make a rune page for my kennen and set him up with some energy runes. i play him and was shocked on how powerful he suddenly became. i suddenly felt like kennen's limiter came off. its almost as if i could cast my spells on whim and stun-lock whoever i desired to stun lock. i began pulling off double kills and triple kills. it was like getting a shot of steroids. ok i know, you guys will probably reply, "the guys you fought were noobs" or "over the past few months, you may have gotten better" or maybe even "this is total BS" and maybe you guys are right. i just wanna hear your opinion. tldr: is kennen viable with energy runes?
Senior Member
You wrote all that, then posted it, and now are checking back for answers. The answer is in your post.
i remember playing panth way back, sucking, then yesterday i went back and tried him again and went 16-2. to myself, "what was i thinking, saying he sucked" then i remembered that the difference is that Now i'm lvl 30, and have a StAcKeD runepage. Having the right runes make most champs I play quite a bit more potent.
If he's viable for you, he's viable for you. That's all there is to it.
Sounds like a great story. =) So..... There are no items that up energy....

I also own kennen he is very fun to play at first I was terrible. Than i figured out that stacking ability items helped alot and runes also improved him. I was even able to win a 3 v 2 battle when my partner quit that should be proof enough runes help.
I've won a 3vs1 before, me being the only before, Kennen's not very special with that, but then again I wasn't using Kennen..I was on Nasus. But I've won dozens of 2vs3s

Frito-Lay's Cracker Jack brand is marking the 100-year anniversary of "a prize in every box" by partnering with Walgreens to give consumers the chance to win what it called "the ultimate in-package prize": a diamond ring valued at $1,000.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
PLANO, Texas – Frito-Lay's Cracker Jack brand is marking the 100-year anniversary of "a prize in every box" by partnering with Walgreens to give consumers the chance to win what it called "the ultimate in-package prize": a diamond ring valued at $1,000.
Frito-Lay North America, a unit of PepsiCo, said Monday that starting Nov. 1, 30 Cracker Jack fans can redeem winning tokens inside specially marked 2 7/8-ounce bags of Cracker Jack Original Caramel Coated Popcorn & Peanuts and Cracker Jack Butter Toffee snacks at participating Walgreens drug stores nationwide.
Consumers can redeem the tokens for their diamond ring prizes by visiting the promotion website at CrackerJackDiamonds.com.
"For generations, consumers have looked forward to finding that special prize inside their Cracker Jack snack packages," commented Alanna Cotton, senior director of business development for growth ventures at Frito-Lay North America. "With this promotion, we're celebrating 100 years of Cracker Jack prizes by taking the in-package prize experience to a whole new level."
