Green Lesson at South Lakes School
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Pupils at a South Lakeland Primary school have turned eco warriors with the help of a Lancaster University engineering student armed with a heat seeking camera.
Third year student Alex Bartlett has been working with children at Ghyllside School, Kendal, on a one year project to help them crack down on energy waste and save school funds.
Using a special thermal imaging camera - on loan from Lancaster University's Environment Centre - pupils have been taking photographs of their school looking for energy hotspots.
Alex said: "We took photographs of the whole school both inside and out using the camera and we looked at the areas which were losing most energy.
"When the children saw the photographs it was really obvious that a lot of heat was coming from all the school computers which are often left on at night.
"We were then able to work out that just by switching off all the computers in the school when they were not in use they could probably save around £1,150 a year."
Ghyllside School Head teacher Mark Woodburn said the project had had a huge impact on the children and made a real difference to the school - and switching off the computers at night was just the beginning.
"This has been a memorable experience for the pupils - they have been learning about environmental issues across the curriculum and this project gave them first hand experience of how to cut down on waste. It also brought them into contact with a science student working at university level and scientific equipment which they would otherwise not have the opportunity to use."
Mr Woodburn said the information gathered by Alex and the pupils would be passed to the governors and used to help inform future decisions in the school ranging from replacing doors which leaked heat to thinking more carefully about which fridges to put in the staffroom.

Risky but reasonable funds?
Given the current market conditions, what are some interesting ideas for investing money that has a high return potential, but can be volatile?
I am interested in a mutual fund for this purpose.
International emerging markets?
small cap?

You might want to check these articles before making a decision. The 'word' on the street, is to buy ETF'S instead.

I'm excellent at buying at the wrong time... I bought into the market at near it's peak ('99-2000), and bought a house at the end of the real estate peak! (Luckily, I bought a rather inexpensive house...so hopefully, I won't suffer too much)
Regarding ETFs:
Don't they have operating expenses, too? I seem to remember seeing management fees listed under ETFs that are no different than the related mutual fund.
Of course, you have to pay every time you buy.
On the other hand, there are mutual funds that have low expenses and do not have a fee for buying them. Most brokerages have certain mutual funds that charge nothing for the initial purchase nor do they charge for subsequent purchases into the fund.
On another note:
I am having trouble finding specific information on some funds and ETFs.
For example: Some funds say that they invest 70% domestic and 30% international... and while they usually describe how the domestic stocks are invested (giant, large), they don't tell you how the international side is distributed.
Specifically, I like to know how much is invested in developed markets as opposed to emerging.
Is there a web site that does a better job of it?
BTW, Vanguard is one of the few companies that makes it easy to determine.
The best thing about ETF's is they trade like stocks. You can get in and out in a day. You also do not suffer the tax consequences when they throw off large gains, like a mutual fund. Mutual funds have fees either on the front or back end that will get you. Assuming since you mentioned the cost of buying ETF's that you are with a full service broker, you need to ask them about a trading account. Most of them charge a flat fee for unlimited trades. When I was with Morgan Stanley they charged 1/4% of total assets in the account each quarter or $250. If you buy something you want to hold for a long time, you just have it journaled to a holding account and avoid the quarterly fee. The other option is trade through a discount brokerage and pay the low fee per transaction they charge.
I put a few links in here that you can use to get more information on them or look at their holdings. Yahoo also has an ok ETF page. If you are with a major brokerage they probably have an ETF center as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link

Japan says it will abide by apologies over actions in World War IItags: World War II, NYT, war crimes, atrocities, Japan
TOKYO — Japan's conservative government will abide by official apologies that the country's leaders made two decades ago to the victims of World War II in Asia, top officials said Tuesday, backing away from earlier suggestions that the government might try to revise or even repudiate the apologies.
Japan formally apologized in 1993 to the women who were forced into wartime brothels for Japanese soldiers, and in 1995 to nations that suffered from Japanese aggression during the war. Both apologies rankled Japanese ultranationalists, and there were concerns that the hawkish current prime minister, Shinzo Abe, would try to appeal to them by whitewashing Japan's wartime atrocities, a step that would probably infuriate Japan's neighbors.
The United States shared those concerns, and it urged the Abe government to show restraint on historical issues so that Japan would not further isolate itself diplomatically in the region....

Outcry as Florian Fritz returns to play after severe knock to head
I think you can't really scrap the 10 minute rule. If you give the player TOO long, then suddenly, it turns into an issue where it can become a strategic sub.
Say, a player is hit in minute 10. The coaches use the concussion rule to play a sub for 40 minutes, and then the originally injured player is suddenly "OK" to come back for minutes 50-80.
Either way, the amount of time allowed puts that player at risk -- too short means things like this happen. Too long a rest, and then a player spends 20-40 minutes on the sidelines champing at the bit to come back, and the tide of a match may turn, driving him/her or coaches to make equally bad decisions.
It's not about the time limit - it's about having player safety trump the wins/losses on the day.

Outcry as Florian Fritz returns to play after severe knock to head
Honestly, sacking a medical staff will do little to fix the problem.
The real issue here are who stands to benefit to benefit from risking the injured players - and that's the coaches and owners / administration of a team.
Sack them, fine them, dock them points, kick them out of the playoff or H-Cup.
Blaming solely a doctor is a scapegoat solution, as these are NOT the people in the limelight. it's like blaming rank-and-file soldier who do something the generals are actually pressuring them to do.

Then, a text came through to my friend who's son was AT the game, and said the entire crowd in Omaha BOOED loudly as well! HA! So end result, WSU KICKS ASS!

Now that I've listened to it several times, I kinda like it. You'll see what I mean when you give it a listen.

I went out shooting this morning with Vinny, and his friend Mehrdad and we went on a search for waterfalls along the trail to Lake 22. After shooting around at one location we moved on to the next and as we crossed a bridge...I saw it. I immediately knew I needed to shoot this. Vinny and Mehrdad didn't seem convinced. After they saw my first shot they knew it was time to bust out the 6 stop ND's and get down. This...my friends...was one big old swirly family reunion. I love swirlys. Please view this large and then if you're interested....

Andrew Curtis, Gary Randall, and 96 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Oh, hey dude! I didn't know you were online!
Thanks for the info about the single exposure.
If I were to shoot something like this again I would grab a few images and then stack them in PS and set the layers to "lighten". It works great for waves and light trails etc...
Holy crap! I just had a look at this in the large version. WOW!!
I love the detail in the rocks under water!
Damn Buddy!
Wow, I have never seen that before. Awesome!
Both images are amazingly beautiful Aaron!
this is awesome, i love the whirlpools, great light and clarity
I don't know how I missed this one, this is sweet! yeah this may be the biggest swirl I've seen. damn good!
Great swirly Aaron, awesome find!
mother of all swirls....
Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)
absolutely gorgeous shot, you've convinced me to go by myself a 6 stop nd
Looks like I've been missing out on a lot of your great work Aaron, but even in my jet-lagged state of mind, this one jumps right to the top of the pile for me. The motion of the water, and the clarity of the rocks below, are just stunning!
Holy swirl! That's pretty awesome.
very nice swirly action, nice placement and comp.--love your pictures, you raise the bar
Awesome bubble trail!
Thats awesome!
Nice one man..Swirly's are cool for sure..I grabbed a similar shot like this on Sweet Creek last fall :)

Whoa! This is such a cool photograph!
Very well done. Impressive execution.
That is one giant awesome swirly! Nice job seeing it and capturing the movement so perfectly.

Legislative framework for mining in SABack
Mangaung|Africa|Building|Environment|Housing|Mining|Resources|SECURITY|System|Webber Wentzel Peter Leon|Africa|Botswana|South Africa|Energy|Energy Constraints|Law|Manufacturing|Infrastructure|Power
© Reuse this
According to the plan, South Africa can realise these goals by drawing on the energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building capabilities, enhancing the capacity of the State, and promoting leadership as well as partnerships in society.
Head of Africa mining and energy at law firm Webber Wentzel Peter Leon says the legislative framework for mining is a key factor that can potentially lead to a more equal South Africa in the future.
"South Africa needs a regulatory system that is objective and transparent, which imposes time limits on decision-making and doesn't create uncertainty," explains Leon.
"The NDP dealt directly with [the] lack of regulatory certainty and predictability that has characterised the industry. I believe this is a strong message to government to fix the current minerals regulatory system. The NDP recognises weaknesses in the system, such as the infrastructure and energy constraints facing South Africa, which have a negative impact on the mining sector," he states.
He says that the NDP's release six weeks after the ruling African National Congress's (ANC's) policy conference makes it clear that there is an obvious dissonance between the outcomes of the policy conference and the NDP.
Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act
Leon notes that there are long-standing proposals to amend the key provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) to improve the legislative environment for mining. He believes that the inclusion of a more objective regulatory system, in which the requirements to obtain a prospecting or mining right are clearly set out in legislation, is key.
"There should be no backdoor discretion, as well as limited room for administrative discretion and all the problems associated with this, such as the regulatory delays we have seen in the past," he notes.
Leon emphasises the need for mandatory time limits on the making of decisions.
"One of the problems that has bedevilled the Act since it came into force in 2004 is licensing delays, which we see regularly with regard to the MPRDA.
"If we move to a model similar to that of the Competition Act, where the regulator, which in this case is the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), would have to make decisions within a specified time, this would go a long way towards addressing many of the problems that we are tackling.
"This also needs to be coupled with a change to the architecture of the Act. We should move to a system more akin to that of Botswana, in which the objectives for licences are set out clearly in the law and it simply becomes a question of whether the applicant, the mining company or the prospecting company is qualified to obtain the licence," Leon explains.
A real concern in the industry is the ongoing discussion regarding these amendments.
"There was a clear undertaking last year by the Minister of Mineral Resources to introduce the necessary amendments to Parliament in the 2011 session. That was slightly delayed, but the Amendment Bill was expected in the August 2011 session of Parliament, which again has not happened," notes Leon.
He believes, however, that the amendments have indeed been drafted by the DMR and it is simply a matter of time before they are introduced to Parliament and subjected to public comment.
Leon suspects the amendments have been delayed for political reasons and that the Amendment Bill will only be introduced to Parliament next year, after the ANC's elective conference in Mangaung in December.
Meanwhile, Leon states that the mining industry growth and development task team (Migdett) was reactivated two-and-a-half years ago. He feels that it has led to increased support between government, labour and business.
"The situation we had before, where the Department of Mineral Resources would suddenly spring a regulatory surprise on the mining industry, no longer occurs. The controversial codes of good practice, released in April 2009, which were ostensibly aimed at ending uncertainty about empowerment transactions, is a good example of this.
"In the past, the industry had no warning about which changes or new regulations would be implemented and they were sometimes promulgated by the previous Minister a day before the statutory power expired," he explains. Both the codes of good practice and the housing and living conditions standards are good examples of this, he notes.
Leon says that there is a more cooper-ative tripartite approach through Migdett.
"I think Migdett is certainly a step forward. How effective it actually is, however, remains to be seen," he says.
Strategic Minerals
Meanwhile, the ANC's 'State Intervention in the Mining Sector' (Sims) report, which was released in February, states that although full-scale nationalisation of the mines is not an option government wishes to explore, it does focus in great detail on the need to declare certain minerals strategic and suggests the imposition of certain regulatory require- ments pertaining to these strategic minerals.
"According to Sims, minerals that are exported will be subjected to some form of export duty and there will be a com-pulsory supply agreement for the local industry on a cost-plus basis," he explains.
Leon says this was discussed at the ruling party's policy conference in June, but the conference made no clear decision either way about Sims or nationalisation itself.
He explains that there are two reasons for government wanting to declare certain minerals strategic – concerns about energy security and a notion that more needs to be done in terms of downstream manufacturing and industrialisation. "The government believes that the mining industry has not sufficiently come to the party on these issues," he concludes, "although it really must be questioned whether mining companies can be involved in downstream manufacturing."

NAVIER HUD – New navigation concept
Navier HUD is an application available on Android phones. Navier HUD uses the HUD (Head-up display) concept to help drivers without having to take their eyes off the road. The driving information are projected on to the windshield when using Navier HUD while the phone lie down in front of the windshield. Navier HUD has a simple navigation function to hint people toward a selected destination just follow the routing instruction. For the use of HUD, driving information and instruction are designed as simple symbols to help drivers easy to recognize.
[Safer driving]
Navier HUD (head-up display) projects navigational instructions on the windshield, effectively providing essential information to the driver without having to take your eyes off the road.
[Turn-by-turn navigation]
The navigational instructions are designed to be read clearly in HUD mode. Simple instructions and signals is the main goal here. Turn-by-turn speech instructions are supported (not all languages).
[Usable for different vehicles]
Navier HUD can be used for driving, biking, jogging... You can switch between HUD and normal mode for regular use on a phone holder.
[Customize your layout]
Navier HUD lets you create your own panel layout with parts like a compass, routing instructions, average speed, route progress, distance travelled. Just choose the parts you need and arrange them however you like.
[Synchronize data with your Google account]
Navier HUD synchronizes and backs up your data (destination and panel layouts) to multiple devices using your Google account.
GPS Speedometer Free
#### Now with HUD (head-up display) mode* - just press "Menu" - "Enable HUD mode" and put your phone face up on the dashboard, under the windshield; the screen will be mirrored and it will be reflected by the windshield.
*HUD mode needs more CPU power than normal mode.
This is a free version, supported by ads.

- It can work in the background, so it can record your movement and speed even while you're talking on the phone. This means that if you really want to exit the application, you have to press "Menu" and select "Exit".
It requires the following permissions:
- WAKE_LOCK in order to prevent the screen from turning off
- ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (GPS based location) for reading GPS data
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in order to save the KML file
- INTERNET in order to retrieve ads from ad servers.
Please note that while I've tested the application on several Android devices, there are way to many different Android devices to guarantee that it will work just fine on all of them, so if you encounter a problem with the application, just drop me an email with your phone model and a short description of your problem; I will do my best to fix it ASAP.

Speedometer Features
This app is a GPS Speedometer for your smartphone. The features include:
* Analog and digital speedometer based on your mobile phone's built in GPS
* Supports different scales including Kilometers per hour (km/h), meters per second, miles per hour (mph) and knots speed scales.
* You can change this scale any time on the move.

* You can enable or disable alarm
* Great design and easy to use application on all popular mobile platforms.
Features in detail
This mobile GPS speedometer features a fully functional speedometer with both analog as well as digital speed display. Analog meter shows speed just like your car's speedometer using a dial and a needle. Digital speedometer will show current speed in digits.
Speed Alarm
You can set an alarm for a specific speed. As soon as you go beyond that speed, the alarm will start buzzing. It will alert you if you go beyond your speed limit. You can have many possible ways you can use this alarm. See following section.
Where to use?
Either you are in a bus, train or any other public transport and wonder what is the current speed of this vehicle, Speedometer to your rescue. Just launch the app, wait for a couple of seconds for the GPS to lock and you are ready to go.
Please do not use the app while you are driving. If you want to change settings or modify the alarm, first park your car on the road side and then operate your mobile phone. Using mobile phone while driving is dangerous for you and other people on the road.
Digital speedometer: Digivel
Quickly visualize the current speed of your movement and track the distance traveled.
All in a simple and visually pleasing, with cobalt blue colors and numbers simulating a digital display, similar to some car dashboards.
With this speedometer for GPS:
- Speed is measured in kilometers per hour (km / h) or miles per hour (mph);
- The distance is reported in kilometers or miles;
- The screen always remains connected during application execution;
- You can choose to use full screen, further simplifying the visual;
- Can be used in portrait or landscape ...
- Track its acceleration and deceleration in the form of a scale bar. To better adjust the maximum acceleration, inform the power and 'weight' (mass) of your car.
- New visual theme less flashy, just tap the screen to switch between them.
- New option HUD (Head-Up Display) in which the image is inverted (mirrored), and thus leaving the Smartphone lying on the panel, the image is projected correctly on the windshield, reducing distraction because the speed gets closer his field of vision.
Avoid abrupt braking or acceleration to save fuel!
Car HUD
Displays in kilometers or miles per hour and uses GPS to get your speed. Simplest and best HUD application.
A special optional item for car drivers: the background color changes at common speed limits:
50 km/h, 70 km/h, 80 km/h, 100 km/h, 120 km/h.
Unreliable speed values are now shaded in gray (eg. if the sensor is indicating a low speed, but no location change is detected).
Selectable speed output formats: m/s, km/h, mph, kt
Selectable distance and altitude formats: km, Nm, m, ft, yd
Different degree out formats selectable.
GPS-Tacho also provides trip statistics with maximal speed, duration, odometer, average total speed, moving time and average speed when moving, ascend and descend sum. Please respect, that altitude values from GPS have onlay one third accuracy compared ot horizontal coordinates!
Your can also get high precision averaged GPS coordinates to reduce GPS error eg for placing geocaches.
Averaging and trip statistics now run in a separate service, ensuring not to be terminated if app is running in background.
You can save a location as GPX file on your sd-card.
For raw positioning network based localization is supported (internet access necessary), but coordinate averaging and trip statistics require GPS. Please keep in mind, that the GPS sensors require high battery power. Although there are several power saving options in the settings, an expernal power supply is recommended for longer measurements.
Bugs found? Please send an error report for error localisation and removal or an email instead of giving bad rating!

HUD АнтиРадар (бесплатно)
HeadUp Display (HUD) - это возможность использовать ваш телефон или планшет как проекционный дисплей. Просто положите устройство под лобовое стекло и вы увидите проекцию скорости и предупреждений о камерах прямо на стекле. Не нужно отвлекаться от дороги - все непосредственно перед вашими глазами!
Бета-версия карты с камерами в нашей базе - http://map.gpsantiradar.info/
* * * * *
В солнечную погоду яркости вашего устройства может не хватить для отображения проекции на стекле. В этом случае используйте обычный режим отображения и поставьте устройство в держатель. Ночью, вечером и пасмурную погоду проекция будет всегда хорошо видна!
Ключевые функции:
- Цифровой спидометр. Скорость, определенная по GPS, является более точной, чем показывает спидометр в машине.
- HUD Speed работает как радар-детектор и предупреждает Вас о стационарных камерах и радарах ДПС на Вашем пути.
- Отображение данных в проекции на лобовом стекле.
- Еженедельные бесплатные обновления базы камер!
- Удобный, простой и полностью русифицированный интерфейс.
- База камер покрывает все регионы России.
Если при приближении к камере ваша скорость будет выше разрешенной более чем на 19 км/ч, то приложение будет подавать предупреждающие звуки. А это важно, т.к. теперь штраф за превышение на >20 км/ч уже начинается с 500 рублей.
Приложение работает с помощью известных данных о расположении стационарных камер и радаров ДПС (такие как Стрелка или Старт СТ) и других объектов. База камер используется от нашего известного приложения GPS АнтиРадар.
Наша группа ВКонтакте - http://vk.com/public59336195
HUD Speed - это ваш помощник, но не гарант отсутствия штрафов, т.к. новые камеры могут не сразу попадать в базу данных. Пожалуйста, соблюдайте правила дорожного движения. Настоящий радар-детектор, конечно, работает надежнее, но это приложение бесплатно!

New Graveworm Song
It sounds like the same crap that was on the last two albums.
I'd like to hear it but i'm blocked by myspace's new audio format.
eh... their first couple of albums were pretty good, but now they r just shyt.
Why? Just download the latest version of flash. There's nothing to configure, just go to the adobe page.
That was rather abysmal.
sounds gay dirty naziis and their music
Well at least they have a hot Keyboardist who I cant tell if she's German or Italian.
Actually, this is an improvement from Collateral Defect, I think. More in vein of Engraved In Black, though the synth is more like that found in Collateral Defect. Some riffing ideas from the previous album..
Engraved in Black isn't any better than Collateral Defect, so what's the difference?
I suppose it's not. I enjoyed it a little more, probably not enough to make it a .5 difference though.
It frustrates me because they used to be really good, but they've taken this lazy approach to their music lately.
balls all the members are italian
only song i really got into was their cover of losing my religion xD and that was mostly because it was hilarious. other than that... meeeeeeeh
That one Graveworm song with Sara Jezbel rules face. Anywone who hasnt ehard the Graveworm album As The Angels Reach The Beauty should do that now. It's actually great unlike their new stuff. Lazy wops (no offense to any Italians here) I tell you.
I actually liked that and Collateral Defect
The band's kinda pooey, but the keyboardist is indeed hot. With all this band's newfound success they will need to look out for the woparazzi, though.

Grigor Dimitrov's recent outing with rising tennis athlete Canadian Eugenie Bouchard on Feb. 24 sparked rumours that the Bulgarian athlete may be having problems with his relationship with Maria Sharapova.
Rising tennis athletes Dimitrov and Bouchard played an exhibition game on a floating tennis court on Monday in Acapulco. The duo took a break from training for the Abierto Mexicano Telcel tournament to delight their fans. Several pictures of Dimitrov and Bouchard, who were all smiles, have surfaced online. The duo also even got on a helicopter ride. As such, Dimitrov and Bouchard can't escape the prying eyes of people, can they?
Dimitrov was quoted saying that her little 'date' with Bouchard was one of the best experience he ever had on tour. "It is pretty special and we definitely have something to talk about in the future," Dimitrov told ATPWorldTour.com.
As Dimitrov was enjoying his fun time with Bouchard, Sharapova seemed on the lookout for other companion. The former top-ranked player revealed to Tennis Earth that her Stuart Weitzman boots are her constant companion.
"My black Stuart Weitzman boots will be my constant companions," said Sharapova.
TennisWorldUSA wrote that Sharapova's recent claim about having those footwears as her companions acted as a "catalyst for the rumours of her split with Dimitrov."
Bouchard is the New Sharapova
Bouchard's agent, Sam Duvall, once said that the 19-year-old Canadian athlete can certainly challenge Sharapova in terms of marketability. Duvall said that Bouchard can be the most famous tennis player in the world. "She's got the personality, she's got the game, she's got the looks," he said. "I really think that she has the ability to be more marketable than Maria Sharapova." According to Duvall, Bouchard looks up to Maria. The Russian athlete was reportedly Bouchard's role model while growing up.
Sharapova better hold Dimitrov's hand tight then. She has to make sure that even though she is out of Dimitrov's sight, she is never out of his mind. Bouchard probably means no harm, anyway.

Asparagus and, umm, Odor
Well: maybe not dinner conversation, but I believe I may have found out something of value. My urine always smells when I eat asparagus, but last night, for the first time, I drank tea after a fresh asparagus dinner and there was NO odor last night or this morning. Actually, this was unusual tea because it also had some spearmint in it (Bigelow Plantation Mint), so it could have been the mint.
I googled and see no mention of my 'discovery'. I did find that there is reasonable evidence that only a portion of the public generates the odor and only some others can smell it that leads to confusion about the issue in the first place. I will check further with regular tea the next time I consume asparagus. If the tea is disrupting the generation of the odor, it would be an easy way to solve a slight problem when out in public, or home for that matter.
Hi chas045: thank you for posting a great tip .... I have tons of mint in my garden, will experiment next time I eat asparagus ... like chewing fresh mint afterwards, to see that helps.
Sniffing & eating mint helps with weight loss, plus curbing testosterone (I first read that in Prevention Magazine years ago) Here's an excerpt from e-How:
"A 2,800 Calorie Difference
A study from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia concluded that those exposed on a consistent basis to peppermint consumed about 2,800 fewer calories per week than those who were not. According to study creator Bryan Raudenbush, Ph.D., the scent or consumption of peppermint increases brain activity in the area that controls alertness. He found that avoiding this crash in attention and focus will curb the snacking that often takes place to jump-start energy.
Another study, conducted through the University of Cincinnati by Dr. William N. Dember, concluded that mental alertness and focus could be increased by 28 percent through the inhalation of peppermint oil.
Decreased Appetite
Dr. Raudenbush's study also found a decrease in hunger associated with inhaling peppermint oil. On a diet of 1,800 calories per day over seven days, those participating in the focus group consumed approximately 23 percent fewer calories from fat and sugar. The focus group also concluded that their overall hunger was diminished over this one-week period.
**** Another side-effect of mint is reduction in testosterone:
See link below:
"In the trial, 42 women with PCOS related hirsutism were assigned to drink spearmint tea or a placebo herbal tea twice daily for 30 days. Blood tests measuring hormone levels were taken at the beginning, the mid way point and at the end of the experiment. The results indicate that the women receiving the spearmint demonstrated significant reductions in free and total testosterone levels and increases in luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations. These alterations are consistent with an improvement in PCOS. (2) A reduction in hair distribution wasnâÂÂt detected, but the researchers believe that the relatively short duration of the study was the reason why. Another shorter study from 2007 found almost identical results. (3)
It certainly appears that spearmint has a strong association with the hormones involved in PCOS. But itâÂÂs also possible that some of the improvements are the result of specific antioxidant activity that may help reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics and perhaps in others with insulin irregularities. (4,5)
*** From Straw: I find mint/asparagus topic very interesting. My favorite class in college was biochemistry, after microbiology.
Here is a link that might be useful: Properties of mint
LOL, I almost posted something similar this morning. I always considered it a phenomenon, not a problem. Plenty of worse smells to be had in the water closet!
We eat a lot of asparagus and we also eat a lot of mint and sometimes both as in minted asparagus soup but I never noticed any correlation between the two.
I am one of those who gets rather intensively scented bathroom visits after eating asparagus but it doesn't bother me; just a reminder of a delicious dinner.
Next time, I'll try some mint tea and report back if there's any difference.
I've never noticed an odor with asparagus, but that reminds me that I have some in the fridge that I need to cook. Maybe I will make crepes and stuff them with asparagus and mushrooms. I would add chicken, but I used the last of that when I made tamales.
I did some research and read that only about 25% of people have the gene that allows them to smell the odor that asparagus produces in urine. Supposedly everyone produces the odor, but only certain people can detect it. I guess I am lucky not to be able to smell it, but I otherwise have a very sensitive nose and can smell many more things than Kevin can - especially delicately scented flowers. I have pink cymbidiums blooming right now that I think have a heavenly fragrance, but Kevin cannot smell them at all.
I eat lots of asparagus when it's in season here, I live right next door to Oceana County, the self proclaimed "Asparagus Capital". The top three producers of asparagus in the U.S. are California, Michigan and Washington, so I eat it until I'm satiated then freeze a bunch.
The smell? Yeah, I smell it, but I don't care enough to cut back on the amount I consume. Right now it's on sale here for $1.29 a pound. I'll eat it roasted, boiled, in soup, raw (if it's young and tender), sauced or not. I never peel it, which is a whole 'nother thread.
I drink coffee with dinner sometimes and don't notice that it makes a difference and I've had iced tea with a dinner including asparagus and not noticed a difference then either. Maybe it IS the mint. I do like mint tea but other than that, I don't care for fresh mint in anything.
Like others, I can smell it, and the after effects of other foods such as coffee and onions, even cereal. Doesn't bother me in the least. It seems perfectly natural for the things we eat to work their way through our bodies. I guess I'd be concerned if I couldn't smell anything.

I would absoultely love this product if it wasn't for the fact that it streaks on my tile and glass. My bathroom (Korean style, entire bathroom is shower) does seem cleaner between weekly cleanings and the smell (though it does give me one good sneeze every morning when I spray it) is heavenly, but I just don't like the streaks.
expecting....but seems takes time

hard to expect instant effect on the dirt in the bathroom But over all, it seems ok
Works very well but smells terrible
Posted by 5230825551683961950 on Jul 06, 2014
If not for the horrible fragrance, I would give this product 5 stars for its cleaning capabilities. I spray a couple pumps everyday in the shower and sink, and as of yet I have not had to deep clean my sink or shower in weeks! However, the "ylang ylang" fragrance of the product is nauseating and makes it hard to breath. I wish it came in other scents because it works so well. But after I use this bottle up, I definitely won't be buying another one, the smell is just too terrible..
