Raison d'être: Scientific integrity and accountability in research supporting public health interventions. Researcher and consultant in this field, mainly from a prevention critical medical anthropology transdisciplinary perspective (more elaborated than a mere inter-disciplinary side-by-side collaboration)[1]. Native of Tunisia-Middle East.Holder of a post-graduate diploma in Tobacco Science from the University of Paris (1998). Solid hard-scientific background (in physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and electronics, studied at university). Taught the science of water-filtered tobacco smoke to French doctors (University of Paris XI-XII; 2006-2010.) Consulted by the French Ministry of Health (national debate on controversial smoking ban). Scientific collaborator of various excellence research centres in Asia, Africa and Europe.Because of the violent monopolistic biased turn the issue early took (official WHO ""waterpipe"" experts said:"We must nip it in the bud"), the author, who had kept discreet on his previous achievements for several years, felt he had to reveal his name (as author of not less than a 420-page 850-substantial-footnote comprehensive transdisciplinary doctoral thesis, sealing 5 years of research and bridging between social and biomedical sciences) and enter the "battlefield".
This work actually sealed five years of research (1995-2000) and included field observations in the Middle East and Europe. It offered the first review of the world biomedical literature on this issue, long before the multimillion dollar funded US-Lebanese, US-Syrian and US-Egytian ""waterpipe"" antismoking centres were set up in 2002 (see SciTopic ).
This document had been positively peer-reviewed by renowned scholars; in particular, for its biomedical aspects, by the top tobacco authority in France, founder of the first learned society for tobacco science ("Societe de Tabacologie") and father of the latter as a discipline taught to physicians in the same country. This scientific publication was dismissed, on purpose (together with other "embarrassing" references, particular independent researchers outside the influence of the antismoking Globalink network and the pharmaceutical industry), by the authors of the WHO flawed report (Thomas Eissenberg, Alan Shihadeh, Wasim Maziak) and those members of the WHO TobReg hyper-structure who ""peer-reviewed" "it. WHO TobReg members (Jack Henningfield, Erik Dybing) even went so far as publicly stating that this research work was a "graduate" (sic) one (see online comments on our critique of the WHO flawed report ) in an obvious desperate intent to justify its striking absence in a supposedly objective independent WHO report. Note: all the above cited individuals are Globalink members.
In these conditions, the challenge was not less than becoming the unofficial "spokeperson" of thehundreds of millions of voice-less (wo)men in the street, particularly in Asia and Africa where the peace pipes have been around for centuries. These persons -who often cannot read English or challenge the materials published in biomedical journals – have often felt powerless after being hurt by the pseudo-scientific and technical language of world ""waterpipe"" experts suddenly interested in their daily life. To the question:"Why have you been doing all this ?", the response is easy:"Because nobody has done (or wished to do) it so far"…

Outstanding Achievements
Our research (1996-2009), including field work in Asia and Africa, has radically changed what has been officially presented as Gospel truth (WHO, mass media, etc.) over the past decade. In spite of the hostile international environment (pseudo-science; science-by-press release [2] ; world prohibition agenda; reductionism ( nominalism , functionalism); xenophobic bias [11 Sept 2001 to date] [3] ; etc.)(See Knol exposing the British Medical Journal' s endorsed xenophobia), below are samples of issues in which our interventions have been essential for the advancement of research in this field:
-[SMOKE CHEMISTRY: TAR, NICOTINE, etc.]We have corrected the widely disseminated error that the smoking mixture (moassel) would be burnt as with cigarettes (source:WHO flawed reportand a long list of supposedly "peer-reviewed" publications). We showed that the product is only heated and that the temperatures differ by hundreds of degrees Celsius. Such a difference is of utmost importance and our doctoral thesis pointed out that what is at stake is a chemical reaction of the Maillard type. We early revealed that hookah smoke is mainly made up of water and glycerol, and that the proportion of the latter is not mentioned in the advertised antismoking publications which reflect measurements based on a biased smoking machine. In other words, hookah tar and cigarette tar are completely different from each other. As for nicotine (and what is at stake: "nicotine-addiction"), we showed, based on a critical review of the censored scientific literature of the previous decades, that hookah smoking under its modern form is not or little addictive. We discussed the compensation phenomenon (Macaron et al.) as early as 1998. Antismoking researchers themselves recently found that one 45 min hookah session would not deliver more nicotine than one single cigarette. We also contend that the gateway hypothesis (switching from cigarette to hookah smoking) has no grounds.
-[CO POISONING (CO)]We have carried out the first measurements of expired and ambient CO levels in hookah lounges as early as 1998. The first public health recommendations in this respect were issued and were never taken into account because they mention the importance of ventilation, a taboo issue that would jeopardise the relevance of the world prohibition agenda.
-[CANCER] Our comprehensive transdisciplinary (biomedical/social sciences) doctoral thesis offered the first substantial critical review of the health effects of hookah smoking. It highlighted the generally weak observed association between hookah smoking and cancer. In 2007, we published the first aetiological study on cigarette, hookah and mixed cigarette/hookah smokers. Using CEA as a cancer biomarker, we found a lower risk for hookah smokers. In 2009, we published the results of our furtherinvestigation on exclusive hookah smokerswho have been using, for decades, huge amounts of tobacco in their pipes (each time, in the bowl, the tobacco-weight equivalent of up to 60 cigarettes). We found a much weaker association than that induced by cigarette smoking. These results arein agreementwith the bulk of previous studies on this issue.
-[RADIOACTIVITY] We have assessed the radiological activity of various brands of moassel and compared it to that from cigarettes. We found no great difference between both products.
-[SMOKING MACHINE]. We demonstrated that the use of a smoking machine (such as the one on which the WHO flawed report relies and all the widely disseminated claims about the toxicity of hookah smoke), is completely irrelevant and has led, for the first time in the history of research on tobacco, to the greatest confusion in the world. The last version has been presented by its authors as "perhaps the most robust evidence to date that water pipe smoking entails inhaling large quantities of toxicants", omitting to mention the numerous biases and errors. The first one is that 40% of the volunteers (who knew they were observed) were cigarette smokers (known to inhale in a completely different way). Furthermore, 20% of the volunteers were sharing the hose. Unsurprisingly, the results are in total contradiction with more "relaxed" settings. This politicised publication -whose critique has been forbidden by the authors themselves and a highly corrupted "peer-reviewer" consulted by the editor-in-chief of the Inhalation Toxicology journal, represents a step beyond for the implementation of the global prohibition agenda[4].
-[PASSIVE SMOKING] We havedebunked the claimsabout the supposedly high hazards of hookah Environmental Tobacco smoke. Recent published findings from antismoking researchers funded by powerful lobbies are actually based on methodological tricks (Fromme et al., 2009)(Daher et al., 2009].
[DRUGS] We have clarified, in several publications, that the use of hookah with drugs (such as cannabis, opium) must be distinguished from that of other fashionable products such as flavoured moassel. A full 262 page book was entirely dedicated to this "devilish" relation.
[REASONS FOR THE HOOKAH "EPIDEMIC"] We have debunked the official scenario put forward by the authors of the WHO flawed report. The doctoral thesis has shown that there were at least 15 reasons (8 objective reasons and 7 subjective ones). We have summarised them in atablethat was published in several peer-reviewed scientific journals.
[ORIGINS] We had to correct serious scientific errors published by the WHO ""waterpipe"" antismoking researchers whose excessive focus on the Indian origin (1605) of the hookah has only one explanation: trying to convince the whole world that the myth of hookah smoking as a safer way of smoking is as old as its invention. According to their "official" anecdote, a physician would have invented the device to make tobacco smoke less harmful for his Emperor). Based on archaeological, chemical and literary evidence, our critical research brought outthe pre-Colombian origin of the hookah. Our work (1997) also reviews other historical hypotheses.
[GENDER USE, CHILDREN USE] We have shattered anti-scientific sexist andxenophobicsclichés regarding hookah use by women. We also emphasised that in Asian and African societies, "children are not allowed to smoke"(cigarettes or hookah).
etc., etc., etc.]
As a conclusion,our research (1996-2009) confirms that from all viewpoints, hookah and cigarette smokes are completely different from each other. Two renowned tobacco researchers have paid a tribute to our patient advocacy: "Only recently experts have acknowledged that "WP [""waterpipe""] smoking is so different from cigarette smoking that data on smoke composition and toxicity cannot be extrapolated from one to the other" [ 9 ] .
Addendum Oct 2010. However, the most important achievement is that the prevalent paradigm (the world networked structure of ""waterpipe"" antismoking research and its hyper structure – with their publications, authors, teams, activists, media, etc.) has been shaken.Researchers, after years of denial, have been forced into admitting the relevance of most of our critiques : about tar, nicotine, "cigarette-equivalent" figures, the "nicotine-addiction" dogma and the now fashionable related "gateway hypothesis" (hookah use leads to cigarette smoking), other health effects, etc.
Of course, one needs to be abreast of the related literature and its evolution since 2002 in order to contemplate these changes. For instance, the confusionist nominalist ""waterpipe"" neologism is now systematically followed by a "clarification" by their very authors that it covers "hookah, shisha, narghile". The linguistic mistake is somewhat corrected. However, the methodological flaw (drawing a parallel between all water pipes of the world in spite of their striking diversity (chemical, to start with)) still remains.
Antismoking researchers themselves begin to refer to the existence of a so-called "
controversy" without, however and unsurprisingly, naming the other involved party…As examples of this unethical attitude (that allows the authors not to cite the kind of bibliographical references that can be found on this site and, this way, justify their sriking publication bias), see Nancy Daher et al (US American University of Beirut) [a-b] and Najla Dar-Odeh et al (Jordan University) recent papers [c-d]…. Fortunately, Independent health investigative journalists also begin to confront arguments [e].

Funding of tobacco research
zero (forbidden research. We rely on our brain before relying on money)…
vs.$ 10 MILLION for antismoking research backed by thepharmaceutical industry (nicotine patches, gums, Chantix, etc.). The marketing label of the latter is easy identifiable: ""waterpipe"". Following our pioneering study on cancer (2008), the US National Institute of Cancer has immediately awarded the US American University of Beirut a $ 2.8 MILLION grant to support new hookah antismoking papers in the coming years. By Spring 2011, we identified anew source of funding: the Tobacco Industry (cigarettes) itself…ReadBig Tobacco & Big Pharma Against "Oriental" Hookah Outsider.
Competing interests
Dr Kamal "has been, at times between years 2000 and 2007, an active member of the world antismoking Globalink network sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry (Pfizer in particular). This organisation counts some 6,000 members working with : ministries of health; antismoking NGOs; the World Health Organisation and its relevant bodies (TobReg, the Study Group for the Regulation of Tobacco Products; the "Tobacco Free Initiative"; the regional bureaux; etc.); the Cochrane Review Tobacco Addiction Group; etc. Globalink also maintains strong links with the main antismoking journals: "Tobacco Control" most importantly; "Nicotine and Tobacco Research"; "Addiction"; some US biomedical journals which regularly publish articles on tobacco issues, etc. Since some views expressed in the present article could perhaps be seen as influenced by such an experience, the author wishes to confirm that the whole scientific discussion exclusively relies on the available peer-reviewed world scientific literature." [5]
None (financial or non-financial ). Unfortunately, never received any funding (direct or indirect) neither from Pharmaceutical companies (Nicotine "Replacement" Therapies and tools: e.g. patches, gums…) nor from the Tobacco industry. More details (particularly about the 1st E-Letter he ever sent in the author's life – to "Tobacco Control", a renown antismoking journal – which "officially" marked his entry in this (battle-)field here ). Finally, few people realise that both the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries share a common economic interest in curbing down the world growing popularity of hookah smoking.
ADDENDUM 23 December 2011. Unfortunately, KC does not hold any hookah relatedpatent. He has never received financial or non-financial, direct or indirect, funding either from pharmaceutical companies (nicotine ''replacement'' therapies and products) or from the tobacco industry, as reflected (with a clarification regardinga famous invention) in the corresponding sections of two key references [1][2].
Having soon realised that most of the remaining toxic chemicals in hookah smoke originated from the charcoal used with the pipe (and not the smoking mixture itself; this is another myth…), he was involved, from Spring to Autumn 2004, in the development of a hookah prototype with a public health harm reduction objective.
Harm reduction does not mean, as a prohibitionist caricature (see Big Pharma funded Globalink antismoking network) wants, "pushing" for the use of certain substances. Instead, the harm reduction concept relies on a solid, logical, epidemiological, medical and philosophical background. Interested readers may consider having a look at the Harm Reduction Journal to get an idea of what this concept covers, particularly in the tobacco smoking field [3].
KC is an official co-inventor of this harm reduction pipe (cutting down CO by 95%, among others). Its full reference is: Patent 2005. "Narguile a allumage simplifie" [Narghile with simplified ignition]. Appl. EP20050291196. Filed 3 June. Published 14 Dec). Please also note that the work on which this patent relies was cited in another important article published in the Journal of Public Health [4]. Its Editors introduced it as follows:
"Chaouachi opens a debate on narghile (hookah, shisha) smoking. Chaouachi illustrates why any public health intervention concerning narghile involves an overdue critique of the narghile smoking machine now regarded as "standardized"[5].
His participation in this exciting project was frozen by Autumn 2004. However, the official termination was officially formalised only by 15 June 2005, i.e. before the potential commercial exploitation of the product (which did not actually took place as foreseen as the company in charge of this project eventually went bankrupt). By 15 June 2005, he signed away and ceded all his rights regarding the invention (legally certified as an "acte sous seing prive" by State Attorney in Paris). From the above date onwards, he has not had anymore any relation, of any type, with the patent, even if the US patent (Young&Thompson/USA), based on the original French one, may still mention his name on the internet. He has received only a lump sum for his short-lived participation in this harm reduction project. Furthermore, he declares that, in the course of his 15-year research work on this issue, he has never received funding either from pharmaceutical companies or the tobacco industry. He began to publish hookah health-related studies in peer-reviewed biomedical journals only beyond that date.
For those who can read French, here is, as another example, what he put down at the top of the first page of a university document disseminated among medical students:
"Conflits d'intérêts: Je déclare n'avoir ni n'avoir jamais eu aucun conflit d'intérêts au sens de la loi Kouchner (décret 2007-454 du 25 mars 2007. Art. R. 4113-110 ; ni avec l'industrie pharmaceutique (NRT ; produits et thérapies de « substitution » de la nicotine) ni avec l'industrie du tabac".This academic material clearly refers to national French Law. This is no game.
Readers interested in more administrative details can simply contact the French State Attorney, the local Patent Office (Novagraaf) in Paris or the US one (Young & Thompson). An Internet search specialist such as Pascal Diethelm, distinguished member of GLOBALINK Advisory Committee who has been suing Big Tobacco "moles" across the globe [6], may easily establish that KC has signed away all his rights related to the French patent by June 15, 2005 and that he has absolutely no relation with any US patent. Full names, particulars and relevant related correspondence details (attorneys, patent offices) have been provided in the past.
It is also sad to see professional defamers, who have wasted huge amounts of public money in mass publishing of ""waterpipe"" biased papers, using the same stratagem with other independent researchers that they now term « denialists » (yes, « denialists », probably a reminiscence of World War II or, closer to us, in reference to G.W. Bush' famous summon: "If You Are Not with Us [against the Axis of Evil..], You Are Against Us"…). Dr Siegel, a professor of public health -who, interestingly, argued that Environmental Tobacco Smoke "kills over 50,000 US Americans each year and whose testimony expertise contributed towards a 145 billion dollars verdict against tobacco companies- has reacted to this totalitarian escalation [6][7]. KC's only potential competing interest is that he has been, for several years, an active member of Globalink, as explained elsewhere [1].

Plagiarism in tobacco research
In France, an extensive part of this work was plagiarised in the form of a ""book"" titled "Tout ce que vous ne savez pas sur la chicha" ( Editions MARGAUX-ORANGE ). Its "authors" are Bertrand Dautzenberg, president of OFT (Office Français du Tabagisme) , the French top national antismoking authority, and Jean-Yves Nau, columnist with Le Monde national newspaper and collaborator of Revue Médicale Suisse ( type "nau jy" here). The above publisher (Stéphane Arbouze, Dir. Editions MARGAUX-ORANGE, whose products are financially supported by the great names of the Pharmaceutical Industry [browse its site]) defends such a practice and two "peer-reviewed" articles (Jacques Prignott, Annie Sasco et al. in
International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease; Becquemin et al. in Revue des Maladies Respiratoires) have openly cited this great fraud. Evidence here :Letterpublished in a peer-reviewed biomedical journal (English and Italian) and comparative tablethere. In Belgium,Jean Paul Vooren, "Editeur responsable"(sic) of FARES, has then marketed a laundered recycled version of the above ""book"", ""peer-reviewed"" byJacques Prignot and Pierre Nys. Such a deed qualifies forMetaplagiarism (Metaplagiat).
Plagiarism in 2013 in Addiction journal (Editor in Chief: Robert West): Maynard OM, Gage SH, Munafo MR.

The astounding silence of medical anthropology
The extremist reaction of antismoking researchers and organisations to the hookah smoking "epidemic" was expected. As for the silence of independent biomedical researchers, there are two main explanations for their attitude. -First, those from the rich nations have either been afraid for their careers or simply lacked the necessary experience to be in a position to criticise, point by point, the numerous errors that were published in scientific publications. -Second, the work of scientists in the so-called "developing world", despite the high calibre of many of them in the field of tobacco smoking, was dismissed. This was even more easy when they had published studies in their own national language (particularly in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, etc.). In fact, most of the independent researchers cannot write in English, the dominant language, and have subsequently been ruled out by the international biomedical publishing process clearly infiltrated by extremist antismoking activists.
However, for ten years now, the silence of anthropologists, particular medical anthropologists, around the whole world, has been amazing, not to say dumbfounding. Indeed, was there nobody to point out that a hookah is not a mere water pipe prototype in a chemistry laboratory ? Such a silence has amounted to accepting that the issue needed to be treated exclusively through the (antismoking) biomedical research looking glass (
medicalisation of the hookah issue). The rest of thestoryis well known. Interestingly, in a neighbouring field (environmental tobacco smoke), Luiz Antonio de Castro Santos, social scientist in Brazil, has made a similar point[6],
In these conditions, the asymmetric scientific encounter
(*) took place on two main fronts : biomedical and anthropological. When looking back at this situation, it appears that this approach proved natural, useful and very efficient.
(*) what Günter Rophol, a professor emeritus of general technology at the University of Frankfurt (Main, Germany) has named"the structural inequality of weapons"[8].
It is hoped that a new generation of brave scientists will dare critically look at the existing publications, consider the size of all scientific errors and fallacies and will not accept to blindly cite them in their own studies without revealing the whole truth about them. In other words, they should not behave like "parrots" as the herd of uncritical antismoking researchers have been doing for years and for clear reasons. Any scientist worthy of this name should not be a parrot and should reject what was once called "expert mongering" when her/his colleagues, as in the case of other alerts about other epidemics, go too far [7] .
Consequently, the author has never claimed anything in this field : prestige, money, etc. His favourite poetic quotation (inserted as an epigraph in his book) is:
I am nothing. I will always be nothing. I cannot wish to be anything. Apart from that, I hold inside myself all the dreams of the world.Original:"Não sou nada. Nunca serei nada. Não posso querer ser nada. À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo"(Fernando Pessoa, Tabacaria, 1928)"

I've managed to fall a bit behind on our park reviews so will try to kick a couple out and get up to date. This first one was a stop-over on our way to the Smokies.

Former Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis will be in London as Thursday, with three Premier League clubs interested in signing the 28-year-old, according to the Daily Mail.
Gomis has left Lyon after failing to agree a new contract with this season's Europa League quarter-finalists, so he is now free to talk to other clubs. For his time at the Stade de Gerland, his record reads a total of 94 goals in 243 appearances since joining in the summer of 2009.
Newcastle United were reportedly interested in signing the French international last summer, but missed out. This time around, Sunderland, Swansea City and West Ham United are all keen on a bid for Gomis, who has spent his whole career in Ligue 1. Turkish club Galatasaray also hold an interest.
Swansea are looking for a possible replacement for top scorer Wilfried Bony, should he leave this summer. Arsenal and Liverpool are said to be among the clubs eyeing the Dutchman.
After signing a new contract at Sunderland, manager Gustavo Poyet is looking to overhaul his squad, while West Ham are aiming to build on the signing of Mauro Zarate, which they announced on Wednesday.

Purslane Seeds?
Does anyone know (besides Hirts) who sells Purslane seeds or plants? I know it's a weed in many areas but I don't have them here and I would like to grow them as a vegetable crop.
Thank You!
I bought Goldgelber and Red Gruner from Pinetree Seeds.
The Hispanic community here likes purslane and so I decided to grow some for my market. I have never eaten but I understand it has a tangy, lemony taste. I have read you can pickle it. That might make an interesting condiment.
I bought mine at JL Hudson, seedsman. It's a bit of work to order from them, but the prices are reasonable and they have a huge selection of different seeds.
Here is a link that might be useful: JL Hudson, seedsman
The three most abundant weeds in my garden are purslane, lamb's quarters and amaranth. All three are edible, have cultivated varieties and are sometimes grown intentionally. I have eaten the wild varieties, but not routinely. They are good if harvested at the right stage of growth.
Maybe it's time to pay more attention to these weeds. They would be more attractive as foods if they were given a bit of care like we give the regular vegetables so their quality would be good.
Those thick, succulent stems are begging to be made into pickles, aren't they?

Understood. I've always considered the three (Hypam and the two Rapid Fixers) as acidic fixers essentially interchangeable for my purposes. I'm currently using Hypam because it is easily found here in the 5 liter container that I like. I probably would have stayed with the Kodak Rapid fixer if it was possible to buy it in the medium size quantity I like without the accompanying hardener.
Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!

A bit more (a lot more) on stop bath...

Oh and, if this is in the wrong section please forgive me (:
Thanks everyone!
I can't believe all this anti-stop bath nonsense lately. Please use a mild acid stop bath. If you are after consistency, repeatability, and control, remove as many unnecessary variables as possible. Stop bath is the most precise way to immediately arrest development.
I like the alkaline fixers for faster washing, so no stop bath for me. I get just as much "consistency, repeatability, and control" as when I used stop bath. Plus I haven't had a pinhole in years from mixing it up too strong.

If someone wants to use water as a stop for their film then that is their choice. If they always use the same technique and take the same time to empty the developer and pour in the water then they will have the consistency, repeatability and control which you imply is lacking.
I'm not sure that a few seconds variance in arresting development is that big an issue especially when you have development times approaching ten minutes or so.
"People who say things won't work are a dime a dozen. People who figure out how to make things work are worth a fortune" - Dave Rat.
Thanks so much everyone for the fast responses!
I really appreciate everyones input. I guess besides water being a good replacement for stop bath its cheaper on my college loans!
Three points to consider here.
1. Acid stops can be used with alkaline fixes.
2. Acid stops help remove some of the Metol from film or paper if you are using an alkaline fix. After all, Metol is not very soluble in alkali as we all know from mixing up developers. Metol is shipped as the acid salt of an organic base and dissolves poorly in alkali. Alkaline fixes retard removal just a tad and we have no reliable test for retained Metol. That is one reason I always use an acid stop, regardless of fix. Of course, acid retards removal of HQ. Not a perfect world is it?
3. The ideal combination is an acid stop and either a neutral or alkaline fix.

Hi Steve,
I also dislike the phrase : My Bad.
I definitely agree with you about the usage of the smiley,
and whatever the rest of the symbols represent.
But, I noticed that you used several of the symbols.
Which one is now your favourite ?

I'm always curious how these grass roots movements get started. I know it is not limited to the internet because even back in the 70s I had self proclaimed experts tell me I didn't need the acetic acid.
I think I'm going to start an internet movement claiming that it is bad to cook pork, and just eat it raw...
You get away with no stop for film because film develops more slowly than paper and even when the rinse is bad, the resulting stains may not be easily seen. A print is developing rapidly when you put it into rinse water and you can quickly see stain or non-uniformity. But, just because you get away with it does not mean it is good.
I have seen people use a tray of water as a "stop" for a whole printing session and wonder why their prints change from the start to the end of a session! Hello!!!! The water bath is becoming a developer due to carryover and even 30" in this alkaline bath changes the process. And, the carryover of byproducts into an alkaline fix makes the ammonia smell increase and actually slows fixing and allows development to continue.
SO! If you use a rinse instead of a stop, and insist on using it, it MUST be running water. That is, unless you only intend to do 1 or 2 prints or one roll of film. Even that might be too much for some fixer/developer combinations!

I have decided to move my weekly carnival/festival/blog reviews and mentiones to either Mondays or Tuesdays from Fridays. In addition i moved into a new place over the weekend, so I am still sorting through my stuff. This should not however affect my blog posting.
Carnivals and Festivals
Lazy Man Hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #150 edition at his blog. He included my article Dividend Achievers Watchlist.
The Happy Rock hosted the 149th Carnival of Personal Finance - Chasing Dreams Edition and included my Rewards Checking Accounts Overview.
Investing Adventures hosted the April 28, 2008 Edition of the Festival of Stocks and included GWW Dividend Analysis in it.
I have added a new blog to my blogroll, which I find pretty interesting from a Personal Finance standpoint. The blog is called Money Ning. His posts are thought provoking to me. For example, I really enjoyed the article Consistent Income or One Time Payment. Check his blog out! You won't regret it.
The Dividend Guy reviewed his portfolio in The Dividend Guy's April Dividend Portfolio Review.
The Money Gardener joyfully announced Johnson's 2008 raise. JNJ increased its quarterly dividend by 10.8% to $0.46/quarter.
Dividends4life, who keeps upgrading his blog, presented his Stock Analysis: The Hershey Company (HSY).
Another article that I enjoyed was Do You Really Need a New Computer? Frugal Tips to Extend Your Computer's Life » posted at Cash Money Life. For skeptics those tricks did seem to work. After I defragmented my hard disc over the weekend, my computer started running better.
I found a very intersting story of a person who tried to earn money by pretending to be homeless in Lifestyles of the Rich and the Homeless posted at the Host Gator Blog.
One of my readers asked me how to increase traffic to his website. I certainly am no web guru. A very inspiring article that I have found is this one from Steven Pavlina -How to make money from your blog. There is a ton of content out on the web describing ways to create and increase traffic. In my opinion though, in order to do that you have to follow these important guidelines:
1) Create an interesting if not original content in which you truly believe.
2) Interact with fellow bloggers in your area of expertise.
3) Frequently visit forums and add your website as your signature.
4) Participate in Carnivals and Festivals on the web.
Anyways, my blogging income for one month is equal to what I make in one day from my job, so I am certainly no John Chow. So please take my advice on how to build traffic with a grain of salt and good luck in your endeavours!

Tasted nice but mine stuck to the patty cases. I love white chocolate and would add more next time I made these.
REVIEWER: Kylie1969
We made these muffins today and went exactly by the recipe. They were very tasty and not too sweet, which is good. They were perfectly cooked through, golden and lovely. I loved the white chocolate pieces through the muffins, they tasted fabulous. I enjoyed the hint of lemon in the muffins too. We will certainly be making them again and again!
REVIEWER: Kazandy
These were easy to make. I loved the slight lemony flavour with the white chocolate chips. I cooked them in a 180C oven for about 22 minutes and they were lovely and moist.
REVIEWER: traceyt21
Made them this morning before the kids woke up for school, taste tested straight from the oven before breakfast and they were delicious. Not too sweet, just lovely. Will definitely make them again. Awesome Friday lunchbox treat!
REVIEWER: Dragonfly11
Maybe if the recipe was a little richer with more white chocolate and raspberries and dusted with a little icing sugar it would be better.

Best Member Poems
Could our first father, at his toilsome plow,
Thorns in his path, and labor on his brow,
Clothed only in a rude, unpolished skin,
Could he a vain fantastic nymph have seen,
In all her airs, in all her antic graces,
Her various fashions, and more various faces;
How had it posed that skill, which late assigned
Just appellations to each several kind!
A right idea of the sight to frame;
T'have guessed from what new element she came;
T'have hit the wav'ring form, or giv'n this thing a name.
Do you believe, in what you see
do you believe in reality
do you believe in the sun that's bright
do you believe in the stars in the night
Do you believe in the birds that fly
do you believe in clouds and the sky
do you believe in wind that flows
do you believe in moon that glows
do you believe in light
Do you believe the spoken word
do you believe the things you've heard
do you believe in the final answer
do you believe in the swirling dancer
Do you believe in sound and sight
do you believe in moments bright
do you believe in taste and touch
do you believe that much
Do you believe in the soul inside
do you believe in ecstasy and delight
do you believe in glory and god
do you believe in that thought
Do you believe in the sky above
do you believe in love
Do you believe in the heaven and the earth
do you believe in death and birth
do you believe in life
open your eyes with hope within
open the door, let light reach in
if you believe, then you'll win
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Court'sied when you have, and kiss'd,--
The wild waves whist--
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!
Bow, wow,
The watch-dogs bark:
Bow, wow.
Hark, hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow!
--from The Tempest
Tell me where is Fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourishèd?
Reply, reply.
It is engender'd in the eyes;
With gazing fed; and Fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring Fancy's knell:
I'll begin it,--Ding, dong, bell!
All. Ding, dong, bell!
--from The Merchant of Venice
Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily:
Merrily, merrily, shall I live now,
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
-from The Tempest
I stood still and was a tree amid the wood,
Knowing the truth of things unseen before;
Of Daphne and the laurel bow
And that god-feasting couple old
that grew elm-oak amid the wold.
'Twas not until the gods had been
Kindly entreated, and been brought within
Unto the hearth of their heart's home
That they might do this wonder thing;
Nathless I have been a tree amid the wood
And many a new thing understood
That was rank folly to my head before.
Thou bidst me come away,
And I'll no longer stay,
Than for to shed some tears
For faults of former years;
And to repent some crimes
Done in the present times;
And next, to take a bit
Of bread, and wine with it;
To don my robes of love,
Fit for the place above;
To gird my loins about
With charity throughout;
And so to travel hence
With feet of innocence;
These done, I'll only cry,
'God, mercy!' and so die.
The Tree of Knowledge we in Eden prov'd;
The Tree of Life was thence to Heav'n remov'd:
Hope is the growth of Earth, the only Plant,
Which either Heav'n, or Paradise cou'd want.
Hell knows it not, to Us alone confin'd,
And Cordial only to the Human Mind.
Receive it then, t'expel these mortal Cares,
Nor wave a Med'cine, which thy God prepares.
Eph. What Friendship is, ARDELIA shew.
Ard. 'Tis to love, as I love You.
Eph. This Account, so short (tho' kind)
Suits not my enquiring Mind.
Therefore farther now repeat;
What is Friendship when complete?
Ard. 'Tis to share all Joy and Grief;
'Tis to lend all due Relief
From the Tongue, the Heart, the Hand;
'Tis to mortgage House and Land;
For a Friend be sold a Slave;
'Tis to die upon a Grave,
If a Friend therein do lie.
Eph. This indeed, tho' carry'd high,
This, tho' more than e'er was done
Underneath the rolling Sun,
This has all been said before.
Can ARDELIA say no more?
Ard. Words indeed no more can shew:
But 'tis to love, as I love you.
Cou'd our First Father, at his toilsome Plough,
Thorns in his Path, and Labour on his Brow,
Cloath'd only in a rude, unpolish'd Skin,
Cou'd he a vain Fantastick Nymph have seen,
In all her Airs, in all her antick Graces,
Her various Fashions, and more various Faces;
How had it pos'd that Skill, which late assign'd
Just Appellations to Each several Kind!
A right Idea of the Sight to frame;
T'have guest from what New Element she came;
T'have hit the wav'ring Form, or giv'n this Thing a Name.
Good Heav'n, I thank thee, since it was design'd
I shou'd be fram'd, but of the weaker kinde,
That yet, my Soul, is rescu'd from the Love
Of all those Trifles, which their Passions move.
Pleasures, and Praise, and Plenty haue with me
But their just value. If allow'd they be,
Freely, and thankfully as much I tast,
As will not reason, or Religion wast.
If they're deny'd, I on my selfe can Liue,
And slight those aids, unequal chance does give.
When in the Sun, my wings can be display'd,
And in retirement, I can bless the shade.
FOR He, that made, must new create us,
Ere Seneca, or Epictetus,
With all their serious Admonitions,
Can, for the Spleen, prove good Physicians.
The Heart's unruly Palpitation
Will not be laid by a Quotation;
Nor will the Spirits move the lighter
For the most celebrated Writer.
Sweats, Swoonings, and convulsive Motions
Will not be cur'd by Words, and Notions.
Then live, old Brown! with thy Chalybeats,
Which keep us from becoming Idiots.
At Tunbridge let us still be Drinking,
Though 'tis the Antipodes to Thinking:
Such Hurry, whilst the Spirit's flying,
Such Stupefaction, when 'tis dying;
Yet these, and not sententious Papers,
Must brighten Life, and cure the Vapours
VAIN Love, why do'st thou boast of Wings,
That cannot help thee to retire!
When such quick Flames Suspicion brings,
As do the Heart about thee fire.
Still Swift to come, but when to go
Thou shou'd'st be more–Alas! how Slow.
Lord of the World must surely be
But thy bare Title at the most;
Since Jealousy is Lord of Thee,
And makes such Havock on thy Coast,
As do's thy pleasant Land deface,
Yet binds thee faster to the Place.
On the Banks of the Severn a desperate Maid
(Whom some Shepherd, neglecting his Vows, had betray'd,)
Stood resolving to banish all Sense of the Pain,
And pursue, thro' her Death, a Revenge on the Swain.
Since the Gods, and my Passion, at once he defies;
Since his Vanity lives, whilst my Character dies;
No more (did she say) will I trifle with Fate,
But commit to the Waves both my Love and my Hate.
And now to comply with that furious Desire,
Just ready to plunge, and alone to expire,
Some Reflection on Death, and its Terrors untry'd,
Some Scorn for the Shepherd, some Flashings of Pride
At length pull'd her back, and she cry'd, Why this Strife,
Since the Swains are so Many, and I've but One Life?
Would we attain the happiest State,
That is design'd us here;
No Joy a Rapture must create,
No Grief beget Despair.
No Injury fierce Anger raise,
No Honour tempt to Pride;
No vain Desires of empty Praise
Must in the Soul abide.
No Charms of Youth, or Beauty move
The constant, settl'd Breast:
Who leaves a Passage free to Love,
Shall let in, all the rest.
In such a Heart soft Peace will live,
Where none of these abound;
The greatest Blessing, Heav'n do's give,
Or can on Earth be found.
'Tis true I write and tell me by what Rule
I am alone forbid to play the fool
To follow through the Groves a wand'ring Muse
And fain'd Idea's for my pleasures chuse
Why shou'd it in my Pen be held a fault
Whilst Mira paints her face, to paint a thought
Whilst Lamia to the manly Bumper flys
And borrow'd Spiritts sparkle in her Eyes
Why shou'd itt be in me a thing so vain
To heat with Poetry my colder Brain?
But I write ill and there-fore shou'd forbear
Does Flavia cease now at her fortieth year
In ev'ry Place to lett that face be seen
Which all the Town rejected at fifteen
Each Woman has her weaknesse; mind [sic] indeed
Is still to write tho' hopelesse to succeed
Nor to the Men is this so easy found
Ev'n in most Works with which the Witts abound
(So weak are all since our first breach with Heav'n)
Ther's lesse to be Applauded than forgiven.
By neer resemblance see that Bird betray'd
Who takes the well wrought Arras for a shade
There hopes to pearch and with a chearfull Tune
O're-passe the scortchings of the sultry Noon.
But soon repuls'd by the obdurate scean
How swift she turns but turns alas in vain
That piece a Grove, this shews an ambient sky
Where immitated Fowl their pinnions ply
Seeming to mount in flight and aiming still more high.
All she outstrip's and with a moments pride
Their understation silent does deride
Till the dash'd Cealing strikes her to the ground
No intercepting shrub to break the fall is found
Recovering breath the window next she gaines
Nor fears a stop from the transparent Panes.
But we degresse and leaue th' imprison'd wretch
Now sinking low now on a loftyer stretch
Flutt'ring in endless cercles of dismay
Till some kind hand directs the certain way
Which through the casement an escape affoards
And leads to ample space the only Heav'n of Birds.
Since the Road of Life's so ill;
I, to pass it, use this Skill,
My frail Carriage driving home
To its latest Stage, the Tomb.
Justice first, in Harness strong,
Marches stedfastly along:
Charity, to smooth the Pace,
Fills the next adjoining Trace:
Independance leads the Way,
Whom no heavy Curb do's sway;
Truth an equal Part sustains,
All indulg'd the loosen'd Reins:
In the Box fits vig'rous Health,
Shunning miry Paths of Wealth:
Gaiety with easy Smiles,
Ev'ry harsher Step beguiles;
Whilst of Nature, or of Fate
Only This I wou'd intreat:
The Equipage might not decay,
Till the worn Carriage drops away.
FOR Socrates a House was built,
Of but inferiour Size;
Not highly Arch'd, nor Carv'd, nor Gilt;
The Man, 'tis said, was Wise.
But Mob despis'd the little Cell,
That struck them with no Fear;
Whilst Others thought, there should not dwell
So great a Person there.
How shou'd a due Recourse be made
To One, so much Admir'd?
Where shou'd the spacious Cloth be laid,
Or where the Guests retir'd?
Believe me, quoth the list'ning Sage,
'Twas not to save the Charge;
That in this over-building Age,
My House was not more large.
But this for faithful Friends, and kind,
Was only meant by me;
Who fear that what too streight you find,
Must yet contracted be.
CUPID one day ask'd his Mother,
When she meant that he shou'd Wed?
You're too Young, my Boy, she said:
Nor has Nature made another
Fit to match with Cupid's Bed.
Cupid then her Sight directed
To a lately Wedded Pair;
Where Himself the Match effected;
They as Youthful, they as Fair.
Having by Example carry'd
This first Point in the Dispute;
WORSELEY next he said's not Marry'd:
Her's with Cupid's Charms may suit
A Female Friend advis'd a Swain
(Whose Heart she wish'd at ease)
Make Love thy Pleasure, not thy Pain,
Nor let it deeply seize.
Beauty, where Vanities abound,
No serious Passion claims;
Then, 'till a Phoenix can be found,
Do not admit the Flames.
But griev'd She finds, that his Replies
(Since prepossess'd when Young)
Take all their Hints from Silvia's Eyes,
None from ARDELIA's Tongue.
Thus, Cupid, of our Aim we miss,
Who wou'd unbend thy Bow;
And each slight Nymph a Phoenix is,
When Love will have it so.
Cou'd we stop the time that's flying
Or recall itt when 'tis past
Put far off the day of Dying
Or make Youth for ever last
To Love wou'd then be worth our cost.
But since we must loose those Graces
Which at first your hearts have wonne
And you seek for in new Faces
When our Spring of Life is done
It wou'd but urdge our ruine on
Free as Nature's first intention
Was to make us, I'll be found
Nor by subtle Man's invention
Yeild to be in Fetters bound
By one that walks a freer round.
Mariage does but slightly tye Men
Whil'st close Pris'ners we remain
They the larger Slaves of Hymen
Still are begging Love again
At the full length of all their chain.
This is to the crown and blessing of my life,
The much loved husband of a happy wife;
To him whose constant passion found the art
To win a stubborn and ungrateful heart,
And to the world by tenderest proof discovers
They err, who say that husbands can't be lovers.
With such return of passion, as is due,
Daphnis I love, Daphinis my thoughts pursue;
Daphnis, my hopes and joys are bounded all in you.
Even I, for Daphnis' and my promise' sake,
What I in woman censure, undertake.
But this from love, not vanity proceeds;
You know who writes, and I who 'tis that reads.
Judge not my passion by my want of skill:
Many love well, though they express it ill;
And I your censure could with pleasure bear,
Would you but soon return, and speak it here.
O King of Terrors, whose unbounded Sway
All that have Life, must certainly Obey;
The King, the Priest, the Prophet, all are Thine,
Nor wou'd ev'n God (in Flesh) thy Stroke decline.
My Name is on thy Roll, and sure I must
Encrease thy gloomy Kingdom in the Dust.
My soul at this no Apprehension feels,
But trembles at thy Swords, thy Racks, thy Wheels;
Thy scorching Fevers, which distract the Sense,
And snatch us raving, unprepar'd from hence;
At thy contagious Darts, that wound the Heads
Of weeping Friends, who wait at dying Beds.
Spare these, and let thy Time be when it will;
My Bus'ness is to Dye, and Thine to Kill.
Gently thy fatal Sceptre on me lay,
And take to thy cold Arms, insensibly, thy Prey.
Observe this Piece, which to our Sight does bring
The fittest Posture for the Swedish King;
(Encompass'd, as we think, with Armies round,
Tho' not express'd within this narrow Bound)
Who, whilst his warlike and extended Hand
Directs the foremost Ranks to Charge or Stand,
Reverts his Face, lest That, so Fair and Young,
Should call in doubt the Orders of his Tongue:
Whilst the excited, and embolden'd Rear
Such Youth beholding, and such Features there,
Devote their plainer Forms, and are asham'd to Fear.
Thus! ev'ry Action, ev'ry Grace of thine,
O latest Son of Fame, Son of Gustavus Line!
Affects thy Troops, with all that can inspire
A blooming Sweetness, and a martial Fire,
Fatal to none, but thy invading Foe.
So Lightnings, which to all their Brightness shew,
Strike but the Man alone, who has provok'd the Blow

59 Year Old Asian Female. - Bellevue, WA
Dr. Young excellent, I felt very comfortable with him. My brother is in the medical field as a P.A. his wife is a RN. They are both pleased with the results.
5 out of 5 stars CO2 Laser
The Best Treatment I Ever Had CO2 Laser - Bellevue, WA
Dr. Young was very professional. He answered all of my questions and truly understood all of my concerns. The results were even better than I expected.
5 out of 5 stars Chin Implant
Jaw Implants with Dr. Young - Seattle, WA
I've wanted jaw implants for years and now I have them thanks to Dr. Young. This guy is an amazing doctor. I had issues early on and Dr. Young took quick note of it. Once again, just like he did with my chin implant he took action. He didn't even allow there to be a risk of an infection early on because of fluid building up. He opened it up and decided it was best to let it heal naturally and given the results so far I have to agree. Dr. Young even met with me on his days off (along with his superb nurse Kristina) and made sure I had the best care possible. I really don't know what else to say about Dr. Young as a doctor other than in my mind he's the world's best surgeon. The amazing thing is as great of a doctor as he is he's an even better person. That's saying a lot, too. Especially, since I wouldn't trust another doctor to go under the knife with. Thank you, Dr. Young!
Ugly Neck Surgery Scar - Bellevue, WA
Dr. Young and is staff are not only professional and courteous, but it is apparent that they are content with their surroundings. This is 100 percent due to Dr. Young. He is a real, caring, and honest surgeon who personalizes his care to the specific needs of the client. I tend to be a bit over-reactive with procedures and he always responded with empathy and information. Truly a pleasure before, during and after.
5 out of 5 stars Lower Face Lift
Lower Facelift - Seattle, WA
He was aware of a bad infection I got from another cosmetic center, and took all precautions to make sure I came trhough the surgery safely.
5 out of 5 stars Scars Treatment
Great Results - Seattle, WA
Dr. Young is very professional, yet personable. He has exceptional skills as a facial plastic/cosmetic surgeon. I had a wonderful experience with him and would highly recommend him to anyone.
5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Young is Without Question the Best Surgeon I've Went To - Bellevue, WA
Dr. Young and his staff are phenomenal in all aspects. Dr. Young's skill and eye for the aesthetics is brilliant. Also, he treats you like you're a family member and not just another patient. Whatever else I decide to have done I am certainly going to use Dr. Young. He's always been there when I needed him and has proven to be as superb of a person as he is a doctor. He injected Radiesse into my cheeks to give them a more chiseled look and he couldn't have done a better job. I told Dr. Young I wanted him to follow the natural angularity of my cheeks to achieve the look I wanted. This is especially important for men who want to achieve the masculine look. It's important to remember that for getting Radiesse to your cheeks if you're a guy. Make sure to go to a doctor who's trained in giving you that angularity you need. Pros: Little down time and instant results Cons: Having to keep getting touch ups and the fact that they don't last forever. Overall, I feel fillers are worth it and since I just need a subtle touch to my cheeks it makes fillers a much better option than cheek implants in my case.
5 out of 5 stars Fat Transfer
60 Approaching, My Last Big Procedure
I am sincerely happy with the results. I believe that Dr. Young is highly skilled and honestly sincere about wanting all of his patients to be happy with their results. I would, and have, recommended him to many of my friends.
5 out of 5 stars
65 and Feeling More Alive - Bellevue, WA
Because I was in WA for a short time, Dr. Young and his staff made sure I could "seamlessly" get ready for the surgery. He and his staff worked my appointments in so that I could get all preliminary exams done and then see Dr. Young again on the morning of my departure. Dr. Young made sure I knew I could contact him with questions at any time. He liked hearing from me every day as the date of my procedure approached. He called me back promptly if I didn't get him when I called. He has a very bright and light-hearted attitude. I felt he was concerned about me. I felt very confident that everything was in order for the procedure. Follow-up of the surgery was also very important to Dr. Young. I had to leave Washington to go back to Mesa, AZ where I take care of elderly parents. He saw me the morning I left. He had me send daily photos, then as healing took more effect and swelling went down, he asked for photos weekly. He commented and was there for my questions by email or, of course, by phone during the entire recovery.
4 out of 5 stars Non Surgical Face Lift
78 Year Old White Female, with a Desire to Reduce Wrinkles Following Medical Crises. - Bellevue, WA
Dr Young has been consistantly professional, courteous and available for any issues or questions I might have. A true level of professionalism. My personal benefit was achieved by not having to have an anesethic in order to have the procedure. Very efficient and worthwhile ....

Facial Beauty Explained: Our knowledge of facial beauty has not changed significantly since Leonardo Da Vinci discovered the neoclassical canons in the 1400's. If you ask any plastic surgeon today, or any person that is among the leaders of understanding what beauty is, their answers will be different and based on their own subjectivity. There are many who believe that facial beauty is defined by this magical number phi (1.618) that explains the aesthetic proportions of the face. Simply...
