Sorry German Taxpayer,
but that is nonsense! (LOL, merely repeating your wording).
Opinion polls show one in four Germans would consider supporting the AfD if election would be now. Yes, this can't be simply translated into ballot shares. However, if the AfD manages to field its candidates nationwide until September, an outcome above 5 % is very likely. And: It's not true that it will drain votes only from the center-right.
Currently more former SPD voters are ready to defect to AfD than CDU voters, the poll suggests; and then there is the huge pool of frustrated non-voters.
If you Germans don't grab the bull by the horns now, you'll wake up one day with liabilities which will even dwarf the Versailles reparations.
As long as the German taxpayer shows some willingness to pay he is prone to blackmail - in a most disgusting manner, pictured as Nazi with swastika and Hitler mustache. Merkel is fed-up with this too. The AfD can strengthen Merkel's position in this direction, either within a coalition or through 'tacit parliamentary consent'.
Only a complete take-it-or-leave-it retreat toward the statutes of the existing treaty can prevent you from something much worse. Countries which can't stand the hardships of a 'German' euro should be invited to leave, in a fair and pre-definite manner ... and with a survival perspective.
The latter is what the AfD advocates with the possibility at the sidelines Germany withdrawing completely from the Euro (which would lead to an instant collapse of the common currency).
One contiguity is certainly derivable: Simply handing out guarantees and blank checks won't do it. It might lower market pressure for a while, but that's about it.
Fact is also, when you take away the market pressure, you take away the pressure on politicians to act!
Sorry Sam,
but that is nonsense! The AfD won´t enter the Bundestag, but it will drain votes from the center-right, which will only help the left. Therefore you could also directly vote for them and thereby promote exactly the opposite of your wishful thinking. A vote for AfD is an unwanted vote for debt-mutualization within the Euro-Zone!
A person with slightly better then median income, and political centrist, and non public-servant must acknowledge that ALL incumbent political German parties form since years together an informal huge coalition that does everything to rip even more money from said person in order to have even more to redistribute.
Distribute to whom then depends on the party. To finance industry (all), foreign countries (all), low income people (SPD, Linke and Grüne), high income people (FDP), public sector (Grüne, CDU/CSU, SPD), renewable energies (Grüne, SPD)...
You got the picture. All of them old parties care about their target groups.
But NONE of them cares about the problems and the future existence of the middle class. This class is not a target group for any party but seen as money provider only.
With the AfD (stands for Alternative für Deutschland, but could as well be named AfE, Alternative für Europa) there is an alternative now which seems to be more interested in the middle-class.
SPD Marxists
CDU Chrisian Socialists
Greens Communists
FDP pseudo liberals in death struggle
The german population is profoundly socialist. There is no conservative or right wing in germany. enourmous tax burdens, enourmous size of the government, enourmous redistribution, enourmous regulation.
The cost of living seems to be skyrocketing while cash flow continues to dwindle. It's time our politicians and administrators opened their eyes and really looked at the problems of the economic crisis. Those in power need to do what was done in the USA, that is to contact the professionals in the economic crisis, like those from the Orlando Bisegna Index, real specialists in the economic crisis who not only measure the economic crisis but who also help a lot of counties with their debt problems, business closures and unemployment and have improved the economic situation for a lot of families.
According to the polls, the AfD is currently not further from entering the Bundestag than the FDP.
Aside from that: I was focusing on who cares for the middle class. The FDPSPDGrüneLinkeCDUCSU - conglomerate certainly doesn't.
As for debt mutualization: except the AfD, all parties aim at this. More or less openly. So, in contrary to your claim one would actually actively support further debt mutualization if he votes for 'center-right'. BTW, wo exactly is this suppossed to be? I see only center-left to ultra left in the established political partys.
I wrote: ". . . if the AfD manages to field its candidates nationwide until September, an outcome above 5 % is very likely".
The funny thing with German parlamentarism is that whatever party we vote for in the first place their staff memebers are bad administrators, and managers et cetera, and they all boast too much. So the colour of their suites (or tie) does not really matter sa long as they are not eligible for their wrong-doings......
In this respect, the outcome of the coming federal elections will not be surprise and the main pillars of German politics relevant for the other Europeans will also not change, which simply is 'jeder kehre vor seiner Tür zuerst' (every government/country is responsible for its own faults).
Something for you to read up on. How ordoliberalism developed the "Social Market Economy", and what role it still plays.
The SPD ditched marxism in its Godesberg Program in 1959. The CDU last espoused Christian Socialism in 1947 (Ahlen Program).
The greens were never marxist.
The description of the FDP looks about right, though.
Trying to outflank Angela Merkel, Germany's Centre-left moves further left. He may just do it. His team Fr. Joost a design researcher, Hr. Wiesehügel a union boss and Hr. Oppermann a rising star of German politics is a balance between interests. I say may just make it as the revelations of the communist past of Fr. Merkel may take its toll with many supporting newspapers having second thoughts on her support and represents an intimation of a new developments.
Current polls see the AfD at 2 to 3 percent.... see http://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/index.htm
Germany has always been ruled by a grand coalition, formal or informal. Our two chambers guarantee perpetual gridlock, thanks to the bad influence of the U.S. model. As any policy change worth noting need a majority in both houses, we are ruled by the smallest common denominator. Which is just fine for the reform averse German majority. A coalition normally has only for a short time span a majority in both houses, which allows to get things done. If they really start to govern, everybody gets so pissed off, that the lander shift to the other side, till the opposition has a majority in the second chamber, coming full circle.
One can only hope that SPD, Greens and SED won´t win the election or Germany will collapse under its´s new debt.
Germany needs more austerity for itself and hopefully it will act more in it´s national interest in the future. Europe only works as long as there is cheap money for every impotent government.

Some irritants
And then there are some features that got in the way:
- I mentioned the competing ways to watch video and buy apps.
- Another is Smart Pause, which automatically pauses video when your look away from the screen. The phone's front camera detects your eyes. Smart, but the feature also pauses the video when you cover your eyes, say, to avoid a gory scene in a horror movie. It's as if the phone is forcing you to look. And there are few times my eyes are glued to video. I typically multitask and watch video while doing other things.
- Smart Scroll detects the tilt of your head or the phone to automatically scroll text, such as when you're reading a long article on a Web browser. Smart, but it sometimes scrolls past what I want to read. It's difficult to move the text back without touching the screen, something Smart Scroll is supposed to eliminate. And at times, I have to keep my neck up in an uncomfortable position to stop scrolling.
- With Air Gesture, you wave your hand over a sensor for such tasks as browsing a photo album or scrolling through text. I can see it being useful when you need to answer a call while driving (not that you should), but I had difficulty getting the phone to respond properly with photos and Web pages. It reminds me of automated water faucets that won't let me wash my hands no matter how much motion I make.

COSMETIC MAKE-UP DEVICE WITH REPLACEABLE COSMETIC QUILL HAVING LUBRICATED SIDE WALLS 3 Sheets-Sheet 5 Filed Jan. 8, 1962 INVENTOR. Poa'er Genoa/v B40 BY Ff A rromvsy United States Patent COSMETIC MAKE-UP DEVICE WITH REPLACE- ABLE COSMETIC QUILL HAVING LUBRICATED SIDE WALLS Robert Gordon Ban, 3271 Laurel Canyon, North Hollywood, Calif. Filed Jan. 8, 1962, Ser. No. 164,834 1 Claim. (Cl. 206 56) this type of lipstick is not entirely satisfactory because it is easily broken. Attempts have been made to overcome this problem by providing a dispenser which supports the thinline lipstick over all of its length except that portion which is applied to the lips, but this has not been satisfactory because the frictional drag between the interior walls of the dispenser and the cosmetic prevents satisfactory propelling and retracting of the lipstick and the unsupported portion of the lipstick breaks or smears in use, Therefore, the usual lipstick dispensing device provides substantial clearance between the lipstick and the casing. This necessitates casting the molten cosmetic into a mold, letting the cosmetic solidify, removing it, mounting it in a cup, mounting the cup in a dispenser, and then treating the lipstick in a flame to produce a pleasing luster. This method of manufacture is not only time consuming,
but results in a lipstick device wherein the cosmetic wobbles, bends and breaks easily because it is not supported by the wall of the dispenser; Furthermore, wax and oil base cosmetics become brittle in cold weather and soft in hot weather. These physical characteristics make it apparent that it is impossible to satisfactorily use such a cosmetic in the form of a thin stick without supporting it.
In view of the foregoing factors and conditions characteristic of dispensing devices for wax and oil base cosmetics of relatively soft composition, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cosmetic dispensing device which is not subject to the disadvantages enumerated above, which has a casing or quill supporting the cosmetic over its entire length and resembling a brush in use, which is lubricated in such a manner that a cosmetic of soft composition may be propelled and retracted without damage thereto, and which may be conveniently manufactured by pouring molten cosmetic directly into the dispensing device.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved quill for a cosmetic dispenser which is adapted for the sharp outlining of the facial area of application thereof.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cosmetic dispenser of the type described having an improved propelling mechanism including a double acting drive wherein an inner drive propels the cosmetic until a first portion of it is used and an outer, visual drive propels the cosmetic until the balance of it is used.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a shaped quill for a cosmetic device of the type described, wherein the interior walls of the casing have a low coeflicient of friction and are lubricated.
Still other more specific objects will appear upon reading the following specification and claim and upon considering in connection therewith the attached drawings to which they relate.

Referring again to the drawings, and particularly to FIGURES 1-8, a cosmetic make-up dispensing device constituting one embodiment of the present invention, generally designated 10, includes a housing 12 having a bottom portion 14, a tubular, intermediate portion 16 and a removable cap 18. The housing 12 houses a quill 20 containing a wax and oil base cosmetic 21 of relatively soft composition, such, for example, as lipstick, and a cosmetic propelling mechanism 22.
The bottom portion 14 includes a cylindrical neck 23, a bore 24 and a serrated recess 26. The cylindrical neck 23 is of reduced cross section so that it defines a first shoulder 27 with the bottom portion 14. A second shoulder 28 may then be formed by undercutting the first shoulder 27. A first collar 35) is rotatably mounted on the neck 23 abutting the first shoulder 27 and a second collar 31 is of slightly smaller diameter and circumference than collar 30 and is pressed onto the neck 23 abutting the first collar 30.
The tubular, intermediate portion 16 has internal threads 34 at one end and is open at its other end. The open end abuts the second shoulder 28 and frictionally engages the first collar 30 but is free to revolve about the second collar 31, thereby making it possible to grip the intermediate portion 16 and rotate the bottom portion 14.
Although the quill 20 may be made in any suitable shape, it will be described in detail in connection with the square shape shown in FIGURES 1-16. FIGURES 1822 are illustrative of other shapes which have been found to be satisfactory. The square quill 20 includes an encompassing sidewall 36 which is open at both ends. As best seen in FIGURE 11, the forward end of quill 20 is cut on an angle, preferably 45, to define an opening 37 having bevelled peripheral edges 38. The lower edge 39 protrudes forwardly of the upper edge 40. The quill 20 is non-rotatably retained in the housing 12 by means of a nib 41 having a throughgoing rectangular bore 42 and an externally threaded collar 43 which threadedly engages the threads 34 of intermediate portion 16. The nib 41 shown in FIGURE 3 fits loosely on the quill 29 and is prevented from sliding too far down the quill by means of a protuberance 44 on sidewall 36, The nib 410 shown in FIGURES 11-13 has a split, threaded collar 43a threadedly engaging threads 34 of housing 12 to compress the collar 43:: and retain it in position on quill 20. The nib 41b shown in FIGURE 14 is an integral part of a quill 20a.
The cosmetic propelling mechanism 22 includes an internally threaded gear 45 having an annular shoulder 46 which, in turn, has a groove 47 encircling its midportion. The gear 45 seats in the serrated recess 26. A first shaft 48 having internal threads 49 and external threads 59 threadedly engages the internal threads of the gear 45. A second shaft 51 having external threads 52 threadedly engages internal threads 49 of the first shaft 48. The second shaft 51 includes a base plate 53 which is shaped to closely fit the interior walls 36 of the quill 20 and a third shaft 54 having conical projections 55. The quill 20 is rotatably connected to shoulder 46 of the gear 45 by crimping the lower end of the sidewall 36 of quill 20 to form indentations 56 which engage the groove 47 of shoulder 46 (FIGURES 9 and 16). When the unit is thus assembled, the quill 20 may be filled with molten cosmetic which is prevented from flowing out the bottom of the quill 20 by the base plate 53. It is apparent that this double shaft arrangement permits making a short, compact cosmetic dispensing device. For example, should a single shaft be employed to propel the cosmetic forwardly within quill 20, it would require a three inch shaft to propel a three inch stick of cosmetic resulting in a dispensing device at least six inches long. The double haft arrangement of the present invention, on the other hand, permits using a three inch stick of cosmetic in a dispenser having an overall length of four and one-half inches.
The propelling mechanism 22 is provided with lefthand threads so that the cosmetic 21 will be propelled forwardly by rotating the lower portion 14 of housing 12 in a clockwise direction, as is customary in conventional cosmetic devices. The threads 49, and 52 are all given a pitch of 56 threads to the inch so that one turn of the bottom portion 14 will expose one application of cosmetic at the opening 37 of the quill 20,
as shown in greatly exaggerated form at 57 in FIGURE 3. A plastic seal 58 cements the gear 45 to the first shaft 48 in such a manner that the shaft 48 does not rotate within the gear 45 until sufficient resistance is met to break the seal 58. Since the second shaft 51 is prevented from rotating by the base plate 53, rotation of the shaft 48 while being constrained by the seal 58 causes the internal threads 49 of shaft 48 to move the second shaft 51 forwardly in the quill 20. When the second shaft 51 reaches the end of its travel, it is prevented from further movement by a lug 59 which is stopped by a projection 5911, as shown in FIGURES 7 and 10. Continued rotation of the lower portion 14 will then break the seal 58 permitting the first shaft 48 to advance forwardly through the internal threads of the gear 45. The length of the shaft 48-and 51 is such that one half the cosmetic 21 will be dispensed by the time the second shaft 51 reaches the limit of its travel and the second half of the cosmetic 21 will be dispensed by the time the first shaft 48 reaches the end of its travel, as shown in FIGURE 8. V
This indicates that quill 20 needs refilling.
The conical projections pull the cosmetic back into the quill 20 when the bottom portion 14 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction. The first shaft 48 is kept from becoming unth-readed from the gear 45 when the propelling mechanism 22 is retracting the cosmetic 21 by striking the bottom of the bore 24 in the bottom portion 14.
The bottom portion 14 of the housing 12 may be made of transparent material so that the first shaft 48 will be visible to serve as a gauge indicating the amount of cosmetic 21 remaining in the quill 20. That is, once the first shaft 48 starts moving forward-1y into the gear 45, it is apparent that half the cosmetic 21 has been used and that the shaft 48 will begin to disappear into the intermediate portion 16 of the housing "12. The exposed length of the second shaft 48 will then correspond to the length of the cosmetic 21 remaining in the quill 20.
The quill 20 includes a liner 60 (FIGURE 4) having a low coefiicient of friction to minimize drag between the cosmetic 21 and the sidewall of quill 20. Also, this drag is virtually eliminated by coating the liner 69 of the quill 20 with a suitable liquid lubricant 61. One such lubricant that works satisfactorily is a cosmetic grade of silicone, such as No. 200 Dow Silicone. prise strips of tetrafluoroethylene resin, such as sold by Du Pont under the trademark Teflon, which may be cemented to the interior walls of the quill 20 or the liner 69 may be applied by dipping the quill 20 into a 2% solution of No. 200 Dow Silicone using carbon tetrachloride as a base and then baking the quill 29 for one hour at a temperature of 300 F.
Referring to FIGURE -17, a first collar 30a and a sec- 0nd collar 31a are used in place of the collars 30 and 31.- The collar 30a includes a projection adapted to strike a clip 66 mounted on the second collar 31a. Since the :collar 30a rotates on the neck 23 while the collar 31a frictionally engages the neck 23, each revolution of the bottom portion 14 will produce an audible click when the projection 65 strikes the clip 66. This in an indication to the user of the cosmetic device that sufiicient cosmetic is exposed for one application because, as previously pointed out, one turn of the threads on the shafts 48 and The liner 60 may corn-- 51 exposes the correct amount of cosmetic for one application.
FIGURE 26 shows a further modification of the collars 30 and 3 1, wherein the second collar 31b includes two inwardly sprung ears 67 which engage two recesses 68 on the neck 23. This permits the collar 31b to be assembled without a press fit.
FIGURE 15 illustrates a cup 53a having internal threads 5511 which maybe used in place of the base plate 53 and the conical projections 55 to grip the cosmetic 21 for purposes of propelling and retracting it.
FIGURE 18 illustrates a triangular quill 20d which may be secured to a housing I12, not shown, by means of a nib 411d. The pointed, lower edge 39d is adapted to produce a very thin line for outlining purposes. The peripheral edges 38d are bevelled to facilitate applying the cosmetic 2111 to the facial area of a user of the device.
FIGURES 19 and 20 illustrate a quill 202 having an oval shape and bevelled peripheral edges 38a. The lower edge 39e defines a sharp edge for outlining work.- The quill 20e may be retained in a housing, not shown, by means of a nib 41s. I
FIGURES 21 and 22 show a circular quill 20, having a flat, upper edge 40 and an arcuate lower edge 39 The flat upper edge 40f prevents rotation of the cosmetic 21f within the quill 20f. The quill 20 may be retained in a housing, not shown, by means of a nib 41 Referring now to FIGURES 23-25 wherein another embodiment of the invention is shown, a cosmetic dispenser device, referred to generally as 100, is designed to be cheaply constructed so that the entire device may be disposed of afterthe cosmetic has been used. The cosmetic dispensing device *c includes a housing 12c having an internally threaded bore 80 adapted to house a quill 20c and a propelling mechanism 220. The housing 120 has a sloped inner wall 81 extending from the upper extremity of the bore 80 to an undercut portion 82 defining an interior, annular collar 83 which engages a groove 84 in a nib 410 so that the nib 41c and the housing 120 may be rotated relative to each other.
The propelling mechanism 220 includes a cosmetic cup 530 having outwardly-extending, threaded projections 85 which threadedly engage the threaded bore 80 and are slidably mounted in longitudinal slots 86 cut into the sidewall 360 of the quill 20c. Since quill 200 is prevented irom rotating within the housing 120 by the nib 410, the housing "12c may be rotated while nib 41a is held fast and the cup 53a made to advance along the threads of bore 80.
A premolded cosmetic 210 may be slid into the quill 20c and seated in the cup 53c so that it may be propelled and retracted by the cup 530. A removable cap-18c may be employed to cover the exposed end of quill 20c and the interior walls of the quill 200 may be coated and lubricated as described in connection with the other embodiment of the invention.
In both embodiments of the invention it is possible to use lipsticks of less than one-fourth inch diameter, in the case of round quills, or one-fourth inch square, in the case of the square quills. In the prior art practice, on the other hand, lipsticks customarily run about one-half inch in diameter to minimize breakage. lipsticks of approximately three-eights inch diameter are available, but are not widely used.
In FIGURE 27, the quill 20 and propelling mechanism 22 are shown in the form of an assembled unit 20-22 which may be used as a refill cartridge.
Use of the cosmetic device will be readily understoo and will be explained in connection with the first embodiment of the invention as used for dispensing lipstick. Referring to FIGURE 3, the intermediate portion 16 of the housing 12 is grasped restraining the housing '12 from rotation. The bottom portion 14 of the housing 12 is then rotated 1 turn in a clockwise direction, when viewing Some thinline 4 the housing 12 from the rear. This exposes a quantity of lipstick 57 which is sulficient for one application to the lips of the user. The lipstick device may then be grasped at any convenient point, such as the nib 41, in such a manner that the exposed lipstick 57 may be applied to the lips of the user while the lower edge 39 of the quill 20 is superjacent the particular lip to be outlined so that the portion of the sidewall 36 extending from the leading edge 39 back to a point subjacent the upper edge 40 supports the exposed portion 57 and keeps it from breaking when pressure is applied thereto while applying lipstick to the lips. The lips are stroked in much the same manner as they are when lipstick is applied with,
a brush. The lower edge 39 may be used to make a sharp outline and then the entire surface of the exposed portion 57 may be brought to bear on the lips to fill in after they have been outlined. Since the peripheral edges 39 of the quill 20 are bevelled, only a very small amount of lipstick 57 need be exposed, thereby minimizing the chances of the fragile lipstick 21 breaking and also facilitating applying a sharp outline. Should any lipstick 21 remain exposed at 57 after the lips have been madeup, the bottom portion 14 of housing 12may be rotated counterclockwise retracting the lipstick 21 back into the quill 20. Cap 18 may be then replaced to protect exposed end 37 of the quill 20. When the first shaft 48 approaches the position shown in FIGURE 8, as viewed through the transparent bottom portion 14, it is apparent that the lipstick 21 needs replenishing. This may be accompished by replacing the quill 20' and propelling mechanism 22 as a single unit. This is done by grasping the nib 41 and the intermediate portion 16 of housing 12 and rotating them in opposite directions toremove the nib 41. The assembly comprising the quill 20 and the pro pelling mechanism 22 may then be lifted from the housing 12 and replaced with a new unit which is full of lipstick 21. The nib 41 is threaded back into the intermediate portion 16 and the lipstick'device 10 is again ready for use. It is very desirable tomake the assembled unit 20-22 so that they may be easily replaced as a unit because then the housing 12 and cap 18 may be jeweled or expensively decoratedand retained for use over and over again. It is also desirable to make the bottom portion 14 transparent and to impart a color to the first shaft 48 which matches the shade of lipstick 21 to facilitate the selection of the proper refill unit to use for particular occasions. This is in line with the current practice of employing a number of different shades of lipstick m a single day to enhance the different modes of dress of the user of the lipstick device throughout the day.
While the particular cosmetic make-up dispensing devices herein shown and described in detail are fully capable of attaining the objects and providing the advantages hereinbefore stated, it is to be understood that they are merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiments of the invention and that no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown other than as defined in the appended claim.
I claim:
A device for dispensing stick-type cosmetics of relathreads of said first shaft, having teeth engaging the i serrations of said serrated recess and including an annular shoulder;
a cosmetic containing quill of uniform cross-section slidably mounted on said base plate and having one end rotatably mounted on said annular shoulder of said gear, the other end of said quill extending outside of said housing through the said other end of said intermediate portion, said .baseplate including means for retracting said cosmetic into said quill; and
a nib encompassing the said other end of said quill and threadedly engaging the internal threads of said intermediate portion, said nib being adapted to pre vent rotation of said quill.

Foaming Bath whip is such a wonderfully versatile product. Make a shaving soap, frosting for your bath bombs, a body meringue or a really easy scrub, all with this one amazing base.
See the Soap Queen blog for a great recipe on how to make a cinnamon sugar scrub.
Instructions: You can play with the foamy bath whip to achieve a whipped, soft soufflé-like consistency. The easiest method is to use a mixer and beat the Foaming Bath Whip like a cake batter. Or you can put your stick blender into the middle of it and beat until the volume increases. Add your fragrance, essential oils, or other additives during this whipping process. But don't over-beat it -- if you get the foaming butter much larger than double, you'll find that you have a collapsed soufflé!
Foaming Bath Whip will accept up to 5% fragrance or essential oils. We recommend usage levels of 1-2% of total weight. (this means that in 16 oz. of product, you will want 1/3 of an ounce of fragrance).
The pH of this foaming whip is very low (5.5) and is very mild to the skin.
Ingredients: Common Name: Glycerin, Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sorbitol, Propylene glycol, Disodium Lauryl sulfosuccinate, Stearic Acid, Salt, Germall Plus, Tetrasodium EDTA.Botanical Name: Glycerin, Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sorbitol, Propylene glycol, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Diazolidnyl Urea (and) Iodopropynl Butylcarbamate, Tetrasodium EDTA.
Terah from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Tami! I'm so glad you love our Foaming Bath Whip as a face wash! We recommend using a mixer on the low to medium setting depending on the mixer for a minute or less to fluff this whip up perfectly. See this process in our Rose Clay Sugar Scrub tutorial. I will email you personally to discuss this further.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Niccola! The Foaming Bath Whip has a shelf life of one year. Honey would not affect the shelf life as it doesn't really have a shelf life of its own. The Apple Cider Vinegar also would not affect the shelf life, though it may separate when you try adding it to the bath whip. In general, you can add any preserved liquids or acidic enough liquids (like the ACV) that they do not need a preservative. You can also always add 1% extra preservative if adding an unpreserved liquid to your Foaming Bath Whip. I will email you personally to discuss this further.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Trinity! We don't carry any other products like the Foaming Bath Whip. We just love how easy it is to use and how many projects it can be used for! Though you can definitely create similar whipped textures from scratch like in our Easy Whipped Shea Butter tutorial. I will email you personally to discuss this further.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi LaKishia! I'm so glad you like our Foaming Bath Whip! Though, I don't think cream of tartar on its own would help to make this product stiff. In our Foaming Bath Whip Frosting tutorial we used a combination of Clear Melt and Pour, Liquid Glycerin, and Meringue Powder to stiffen it. I will email you personally to discuss this further.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Traci! I'm so glad you love our Foaming Bath Whip! It is just so versatile and can be used for so many different products, including Foaming Bath Whip Frosting. Though, because the Foaming Bath Whip is so fluffy and is meant to stay soft for so many different uses it will not turn hard enough for packaging on its own. The combination of Meringue Powder, Clear Melt and Pour Base, and Liquid Glycerin help the bath whip to be the perfect consistency for your cupcakes and packaging them safely! I will email you personally to discuss this further.

Product description
Public interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year-during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. Biblical Archaeology offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle that has lasted a thousand years. Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would "prove" the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field. Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction captures the sense of excitement and importance that surrounds not only the past history of the field but also the present and the future, with fascinating new discoveries made each and every season. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

On Certain models a faulty power window switch can cause the power windows to work or not work intermittently.
Problems for specific Honda Civic years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported Honda Civic problems
Power Window Switch May Fail
Brake pedal may feel hard during cold start at high altitude
On some models with automatic transmissions, during a cold start at high altitude the brake pedal feels hard. Replacing the power brake booster and updating Powertrain Control Module (PCM) the with a Honda software update is needed for this issue.
Sunroof May Squeak
On vehicles that have a sunroof, squeaking can occur. Special anti squeak tape should be applied to stop the noise.
Clicking Noise From Manual Transmission When Turning Right
Certain manual transmissions can cause a clicking noise when turning right due to a reverse gear contacting other gears in the transmission. The transmission needs to be disassembled and new updated gears installed to stop the noise.
Oxygen sensor failure due to front impact damage
Impact damage to the front of the vehicle can cause the primary oxygen sensor to blow fuse 15 and cause the Check Engine light (MIL) to come on. In most cases the primary oxygen sensor needs replacing and a new fuse installed to repair the issue.
Misfires and catalyst deterioration due to poor igniter connections
Updated Serpentine Belt For Noise Issue
In some cases drive belt noise can be heard from the passenger compartment. Installing a new updated belt from Honda and rerouting the belt is needed will commonly correct this noise issue.
Water Leak Into Vehicle/Light Assembly
Leaking tail light gaskets can allow water into the tail light assembly and inside the vehicle. Replacing the tail light gaskets will commonly correct this issue.
Software update for false catalyst failure code
Crowned rear brake drum may cause vibration when braking
Certain models can have a crowned rear brake drum that can cause a vibration when braking. The rear drums will have to be replaced to correct this issue.
Windshield wipers won't turn off due to internal switch fault
Check Engine Light due to vacuum leak in EGR tube
On some engines a sticking variable valve timing valve can cause the Check Engine light (MIL) to illuminate. Replacing the valve and a software update will address this issue.
Check engine light on due to slow responding two way bypass valve
Check engine light on due to excessive second clutch wear
Excessive second clutch wear (automatic transmission) can cause the car not to move and set a Check Engine light (MIL). Replacing the transmission is necessary when this happens.
map lights
they dont come on. only 4 years old and the interior lights dont work.

white screen after repair
I tried to change my nephew's iPod Touch 4G screen with a new one, and after replacement I got that white screen. I tried all solutions suggested here, but none of them works. It seems the volume up and sleep buttons are not working, and the iPod only responds to Home button. When you press it you get the white screen, and if you hold it for some seconds the voice recognition system works, but that´s all. iTunes detects the iPod, but it says that is protected by a password so it can´t connect.
I even tried to completely drain the battery, but after 10 days I charged it again and I got same result: after some minutes charging, I got white screen when pressing home button.
I will appreciate very much any suggestion. Thanks in advanced.
Edited by: pollytintop ( )
it sounds very much like you either haven't connected all the flex cables properly or have the wrong part. Did you look at John's suggestions ??http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/43162....
Yes, I looked at John´s suggestions... I triple checked all connections and everything seems to be ok. Is there any way to "bypass" the password when connecting to iTunes? Thanks.
@madawaska I updated the link with some more information a few minutes ago, you might want to look over my post. http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/43162...
Thanks John, that could be the problem. What it makes me feel worried about buying a new screen is that it seems that reset or reboot works for all of you, even if you get white screen again. In my case, nothing happens when you use the home / volume up / wake up buttons. The volume buttons works cause volume level changes, and home button also work.
If the volume up/down and power are not working you have a tear in your flex cable. You can probably spot it with a 30x jewelers loupe, but, there is no quick fix you'll have to replace it. Or, if you did any soldering the power/volume flex cable could have a bad connection to the logic board.
With the white screen you need to hold down the home and power button, and if the power button is not working it isn't going to reset.
Trust me, I've ripped my share of power/volume flex cables lifting the logic board to access the lcd connector. On a successful lift, I always stick a piece of Kapton tape across the flex cable where the power button is located. This way, if I have to pull up the board again because of a connection issue I'm less likely to tear it.
Edited by: Country Computer Service ( )
it happened to me to i try to hold the home and lock button down but it didnt do any thing the only thing that happened was the voice over and the volume buttons work because i was turning it up and down but i just restored it and it works fine now
my ipod has a white screen, however when i press the lock button it goes black, and then i've tried all these solutions however none has worked, can someone please help me

October 2-7, 2012
During the Contemporary Art Day planned for Saturday, 6th October 2012, the Mart di Rovereto hosted the 64th Malaktion (Painting-Action) by Hermann Nitsch, one of the founders of the Viennese Actionism movement and designer of Das Orgien Mysterien Theater (Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries), which indissolubly combines life, art, philosophy, music, theatre and painting.
Saturday 6th marked the key moment in an event lasting an entire week, from 2nd to 7th October: Nitsch and his assistants constructed the performance in the first-floor rooms of the Mart during eight days of pictorial action. Through movements of their hands and bodies, colours of various consistencies were sprayed, spread, dripped and poured on to large white canvases laid out on the floor and walls.
The canvases were then be raised and placed on the rooms of the walls, remaining visible until 8th October. In this way, the artist will fulfil the Wagnerian ideal of the total work of art – a single complex between result and process – that has always been a source of inspiration to Nitsch.
The event was realised by the Mart in collaboration with the Museo Archivio Laboratorio per le Arti Contemporanee Hermann Nitsch of Naples and Boxart Gallery in Verona.

Chess engines, e-boards, software, analysis and more... Digital technology has taken the chess world by storm, pushing the game many notches up
Admittedly, the Anand-Carlsen game was a contest of superb minds, but can we discount the role of digi-tech in modern chess? Forget the villagers playing war-game moves under a banyan tree in sixth Century, Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov in the 1980s weren't blessed with the kind of outside support chess players get today. For the viewer, it is virtual bonanza — television coverage, Net streaming and move-by-move commentary, advancing chessmen on an e-board in tandem with the game... Following a live game was never so easy.
The game's affair with computers gained prominence when IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997. The controversy surrounding it didn't prevent chess computers from getting regular upgrades. Now Houdini (chess engine) and HIARCS (chess software), running on a laptop, can comfortably beat world's top chess players, claim experts. "Technology has made chess-playing more exciting," agrees Grandmaster Adhiban Baskaran. "You can watch the game live on websites such as www.theweekinchess.com, www.chessdom.com and www.chessvibes.com. Information is accessible to all, so update on a regular basis if you don't want to be left behind." Websites help you develop your game, chess engines give you accurate game assessments, he says.
Pick the best
Chess engines calculate possible moves in each board position, evaluate them and pick the best. Remember the collective gasp when Anand fell into Carlsen's 'little trap' and made the wrong queen move in Game 5? Chess engines! Even as the commentators were live-guessing the contestant's next move, fans were tweeting conclusions to them! In what's called 'opening books', specialists now make second-gen chess engines play a particular opening thousands of times to discover 'novelties' — trick-moves not played before. It is a long way indeed from relying on chess books shipped from abroad by Chess Mate company or wait six months for Chess Informant to publish top-level games. Today, 'opening' preparation is based on databases with millions of games, updated every day.
The Internet gives players instant access to all tournament games, says Grandmaster MR Venkatesh. You watch them live, improve your game. Chess engines Rybka, Houdini, Fritz let you find the best move in any chess position, he says. At the International Master- / Grandmaster-levels, mistakes are few, hence to overpower the opponent you need to have an extra weapon. Players now focus on finding novel moves to surprise opponents, and home preparation is preferred to over-the-board fight to gain advantage in the opening stage itself.
Are rumours that Carlsen practised with a supercomputer true? Does his game resemble how engines play – with no trace of human bias? How much of the FIDE World Chess Championship 2013 was digi-tech? "Both would have had access to multi-crore worth of technology," says Venkatesh, but was sure they mastered conventional chess before turning to technology. Anand or Carlsen might have employed "human technology" to help them, he says.
Digi-tech has made the game more popular among non-chess people and more interesting for players, he says. The Chennai WCC, telecast live on television attracted many non-chess people to the game. Chess players enjoy analysing games with chess friends and when shown live, try to guess the Grandmaster's move. Under the influence of chess engines and access to unlimited chess material, players are ready to handle openings and positions they wouldn't have tried earlier. Analysis with these strong machines helps them gain confidence. Fundamental principles created by past masters are important, but technology helps overcome diffidence in trying new moves. And parents see chess as a healthy alternative to video games. Pitting yourself against the same opponents limits diversity, but online games help you confront varying styles. Isn't it true you train better when playing games or doing puzzles online?
Will chess-playing super-computers ruin professional chess? Not likely, if you go by the popularity of the 2013 championship. Will championships be played through video-conferencing with arbiters on both ends? Maybe. Would you join a club when you can play on the Internet for free? "Without direct interaction with others? No way," says NN Sivagnanam, Mylapore Club. "Getting defeated repeatedly by the computer is frustrating. Young players need to discuss challenges with opponents, experience the joy of winning."
Personal touch is must
Still, "Chess players have become more dependent on chess engines instead of thinking / analysing the positions by themselves," rues Venkatesh. "Engines find the best moves, and that makes players lazy. Technology is good for the game, for players, only when used judiciously." Make the best use of it, he says, but build a strong a foundation with the old 'thinking' ways.
Move by move
- At WCC 2006 Veselin Topalov accused Vladimir Kramnik of getting help from a computer during his toilet visits.
- After this 'toiletgate', tournament chess players are sometimes scanned with metal detectors.
- Borislav Ivanov retired from chess when suspected of carrying a device in his shoes.
- At the European Club Cup 2013 digital game technology LiveChess 2.0 software broadcast 176 games live via the Cloud.
