The nicotinic acid test was performed in 5 patients with Dubin-Johnson syndrome, 5 with Rotor syndrome and 13 with Gilbert's syndrome. The increment in serum bilirubin concentration and bilirubin retention 5 hr later differed; the proportion of conjugated bilirubin in the increment of total bilirubin in Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndromes was greater than in Gilbert's syndrome. These observations suggest that the nicotinic acid test reflects, in part, impaired biliary excretion of conjugated bilirubin. The results did not differentiate the two conjugated hyperbilirubinemias. The nicotinic acid test was also performed before and after corticosteroid treatment in four patients with Dubin-Johnson or Rotor syndrome. Although serum total and unconjugated bilirubin concentrations were reduced by corticosteroids, no significant change occurred in the parameters of the nicotinic acid test, suggesting that corticosteroids may enhance uptake of bilirubin without significantly altering biliary excretion of conjugated bilirubin.

I can't say a bad thing about this foundation it feels beautiful to apply like water against the skin but it has good coverage without looking cakey at all. (I'd say light/ medium coverage) It isn't ridiculously dewy or shiny either it just makes my skin look radiant from within. I love the smell as well it smells abit florally.
I have normal/combination skin and I prefer wearing it without powder but I just dust over my t zone as I always get slightly oily in that area no matter what!
The price IS steep, However in my opinion your foundation is the most important part in anyone's makeup routine as it's your base and if your skin looks great, you'll look great. So to me the price is just something I'll have to put up with!
At least try this because i think it's amazing and definitely worth the hype!!

To those who love natural no-makeup makeup look, you must try this!!!
i have tried MAC foundation and Faceshop BB cream before and this is my favourite. it blends perfectly into skin and is extremely buildable. it is very light-weighted, feels like second skin, gives my skin a glow and allow my skin's own natural glow to come through. i use chanel le blanc makeup base underneath and the foundation lasts whole day. doesn't oxidise unlike MAC foundation. my skin is oily and after applying, i do look shiny thus powder is needed. does nothing much to pores though. coverage is minimal thus don't expect it to cover blemishes/scar/pimples.

I have the CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE AQUA in 12- BEIGE ROSÈ and it matches my skin tone perfectly. It is a good consistency and smells great. The coverage is nice and light and it is easy to apply and refreshing on your face. Definitely worth the money.

Simply the best foundation I've ever tried. Everything I wanted out of Nars Sheer Glow, I found in VA. While SG was such a disappointment (too matte and dull, too drying, poor staying power) VA gives me such a radiant glow, wears well so that it looks even better as the day goes on and the coverage is perfect (decent without masking the skin and hiding it's natural luminosity). This won't hide pimples or redness so I use Mac PLW concealer for that.

I have tried countless foundation products and this is by far my favourite liquid foundation. I have a combination of skin types, oily, sensitive and acne prone but this foundation does really well with my skin type. I have to admit though it wears off so I apply a primer. My skin will always be oily and no foundation will help with that but throughout the day I just set my make-up with the natural matte finish pressed powder by Chanel as well. The bottle lasts me half a year granted that I don't use much. It never looks cakey and it feels fresh. To anyone reading this review, who hasn't tried this foundation, I say try it; it's definitely worth a shot!

Beautiful natural, fresh, light finish. Perfection. The best. But - terrible staying power. After 3 hours it begins to melt and disappear from the skin - even with primer, powder on top, ud finishing spray. After 5 hours in the office - nothing is left on my skin (i have normal skin). Conclusion: best finish, worst staying power.

I really enjoyed this product - nice light/medium coverage with a light, natural feeling. I dabbed some on my cheeks and blended with a brush for application. It always looked flawless and never cake-y or greasy. I love the light scent, too. It makes me feel so fresh when I use it.
Unfortunately, I am too fair even for the lightest shade of this product. I have NC15 skin and tried using the lightest shade - 12 Beige Rose - and it was still too orangey. It was less noticeable with a good amount of blending, and especially more passable in the summer. But with winter coming on I just can't make it work anymore... I plan on buying this again next spring/summer when I'll be out in the sun more. I will miss it!
Tl;dr - Great product, but not a great option if you're super pale.

I really like this foundation. Nice medium coverage, looks somewhat skinlike. I find it does settle lines here and there, one particular line between my brows that it settles right into :( I have medium dry skin and I think this is too drying for my skin in the winter. It looks best when i wear it over sunscreen.. I think that just means I need more moisturizing foundation.

This foundation is just beautiful. It smells lovely, feels light and fresh on your skin, and the coverage and finish are just stunning - glowing, but in a natural way, and without imperfections. It glides over dry patches without highlighting them and reduces small pimples and redness to nothing. I bought this for my 21st birthday party and I didn't realise there was SPF in it at the time, but it actually looks gorgeous in photos too - but maybe that's because I'm so pale already I can't tell if there's a white cast! At any rate, it just looks flawless. Easiest, prettiest, most comfortable foundation I've ever used. Staying power is pretty awesome too considering it's not marketed for that! Oil control is average but it stays on in spite of that. Overall just a really beautiful product that is a pleasure to use - and doing your makeup should be a good experience, after all!

Let's get straight onto the review.
* easy application.
* lightweight formula achieves "second skin finish".
* luminous glowing "nude" skin.
* and just random off translations...
Claims... well, to be expected, it's very "sensually pleasing to listen to". I guess. The easy application, the lightweight formula, second skin finish, skin that radiates "nude" (I still don't know what that means)? It's done all that.
Except the undiscovered "nude" part...
*covering texture, application, etc etera.
FEELS: (love) water based products are absolutely lovely and I think this is one of the lightest feeling foundations to the touch.
SMELL: (love) the fragrance of this... smells like any other makeup, but is diluted and slightly floral, old-school. I enjoy it.
TEXTURE: (love) water based, once again, strikes a home ball.
PIGMENTATION: (love) this dries into a sheer finish but it's so buildable! Goes to a medium coverage that covers my under eye circles, veins, redness, and even my blemish marks.
FINISH: (love) natural and radiant just as it claims... lovely as it also doesn't settle into fine lines and masks pores.
APPLICATION: (love) first layer must be with fingers. Sponges and brushes can come after, but for that first layer and when you first put it on the skin, the fingers are your best bet.
#1: Apply over the face using fingers.
TIME: (love) surprisingly, this lasts a fairly long time... eight hours before getting my shiny, and with a setting powder, nearly all day...
LOOKS: (love) it doesn't settle into fine lines and looks natural until around this eight hour mark.
WEAR: (eh) like all makeup, it rubs off onto clothing if you scrap, but it's definitely much more stronger than the other BB creams that I have.
REACTION: (eh) nothing bad happened, but nothing good either.
REMOVAL: (eh) fairly easy to remove, but since so much product stays on the skin throughout the day, I always have the double cleanse, using facial wipes prior to my cleansing oil--just in case.
TRAVEL: (love) plastic makes for easy travel.
SPECIFICS: (eh) the paint bottle is expected, but I feel like from Chanel, they could have done something to make it not so simple.
VANITY: (eh) not the best, but the simplicity of it makes it quite nice.
Very expensive, around fifty dollars.
Even for the price, it's a lovely product and I seriously love it. Flash back in photos? I haven't tried that yet, but since it's a favourite from a lot of makeup artists, I'm assuming it doesn't.
GREAT FOR SHADING. Using 30 Beige around the jawline and on the sides of the nose and it really gives me a three dimensional look!
For makeup: LOVELY.
For skincare: NOT BENEFICIAL, BUT LIGHT AND EASY TO USE.
For dazzling up your vanity?: SIMPLE DESIGN MAKES IT A PLEASANT SIGHT.

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
5:20 Paul may be appealing directly to the Corinthians to "be reconciled to God." But he is also summing up the appeal he gives to all the world. Reconciliation is the establishment or restoration of loving fellowship after estrangement. For Christians, reconciliation to God is renewed each day, in one sense (Matt. 6:12; 1 John 1:9).

Last week, I brewed my second batch (a Sweetwater Festive Ale clone) after a fairly successful first batch from a Brewer's Best English Pale Ale kit.
Brewing day went quite well, and my beer is happily fermenting away in the bathtub. My OG reading was 1.073, which seems about right since the finished product is supposed to be 8.5% ABV. So, a few questions:
1) How do people generally measure gravity during fermentation? Do you just drop the hydrometer in your primary fermenter, or do you siphon off a bit and measure that? If the former, doesn't the krausen interfere with a good reading? If the latter, what do you typically siphon off beer into, and how do you keep the hydrometer from getting stuck to the wall of whatever container you're using?
2) I've been reading a lot of the debate about whether or not to use a secondary fermenter, and to me, the decision comes down to if it's worth risking contamination to achieve a greater level of clarity. This is a dark beer (I'm told it should be around 30 SRM), so I don't know that a little cloudiness would even be perceptible, but at the same time, I want to produce the best beer I can, and am fine with the extra work (and additional risk) to achieve that. Also, the fact that I have two engineering degrees (one of which in chemical engineering), and spent quite a bit of time in labs to get those degrees means I'm pretty comfortable with my ability to keep things sanitized/clean so I'm not as worried about contamination if I rack to a secondary fermenter.
Okay, that's a whole lot of preface before I get to a question, so my question is this: assuming I'm going to rack to a secondary, when should I do so?Everything I've read about racking to secondary says that you want to wait until fermentation has slowed, but not stopped, before you rack to a secondary fermenter. Well, my fermentation has definitely slowed (yes, I'm looking at a bubbling airlock, but I'm fairly certain I have a pretty tight seal based on how well it's been bubbling), but it's still going about twice a minute. I could do a gravity reading, but since I'm still a bit uncertain about how best to do that while it's fermenting (and I want to minimize how many times I open my bucket), I'm using a non-invasive method, at least for now.
As a corrolary to this, do the two methods (just primary vs. primary and secondary) differ in total fermentation time? I read about the 1-2-3 "rule," but then also read about some people fermenting in a primary for months, particularly for higher gravity beers. I can see arguments for either method fermenting faster (the primary only method will have more yeast, but the secondary provides for some additional aeration in a case where oxygen may be the limiting ingredient). The only reason I'm concerned about this is because I'm hoping to bottle 3 weeks after my brewing day, and if one method gives me a better chance that I can do so, that's probably the one I'll choose.
3) A brewing friend of mine recently had a batch explode, and given the high gravity in this batch, I was concerned about a potential explosion since the yeast would have so much sugar to snack on. Thankfully, this hasn't been a problem on this batch (at least so far, but things are slowing down so I'm hopeful). I've read about people using a blow-off tube to prevent explosions, but haven't really seen a good description of what this is or how to make one. Also, what are some other methods to prevent explosions, if any?
Okay...so that was a little long-winded, and if you made it this far, thanks for reading. Also, thanks-in-advance for any responses.
"How do people generally measure gravity during fermentation?'
You don't. Just leave it alone until fermentation is done. If there is a big krausen bubbling away, you really don't need any measurements to tell you it isn't finished yet. Once everything dies down and you don't see any activity for a couple of days, then you can take a measurement.
For the hydrometer you can get a 10-12" plastic cylinder, just like a laboratory graduated cylinder without the graduations. Get a wine thief or a turkey baster, sanitize them, and use them to fill the cylinder mostly to the top. Drop the hydrometer in and take the reading, spinning the hydrometer to get rid of bubbles that stick and add buoyancy.
The general consensus on these forums is that a primary will achieve the same level of clarity as a secondary, possibly just a little more slowly.
A blowoff tube is basically just a really big airlock. You stick a tube where the standard airlock goes and immerse the other end under water.
For gravity readings, I use a wine thief to draw off a sample then just drop the hydrometer into the top of the thief. After measuring, the sample becomes a tasting sample.
Im sure I wont be popular for this response but here goes. You can use alot of "By Guess And By Golly" in beer brewing. Most recipes have a recommended ferment time(if you use a kit or known recipe that is). If not guess. Hmmmmmm its been 2wks I guess ill take a reading. and 2-3 days later take another reading if u want to be sure. Give the hydrometer a spin as you are placing it in the reading tube. If it sticks do it 3 or 4 more times if all eadings are the same. I guess its good. As far as needing a secondary, golly thats ur call. I used one because my primary was also my bottling bucket, doing a secondary gave me time to clarify, as well as free up my bottling bucket to get properly cleaned for bottlingday. This has always worked for me.

Wood fence stain colour to go with light gray/blue siding
A year ago, a big windstorm blew over the back fence (the two side fences were fine). I got a new fence put in and want to use a solid stain on the back fence. Initially, the idea was to colour match since I like the light/medium gray/blue colour well enough and it does go well with the vinyl siding on the house.
I've been trying to find a good colour match for the stain, and the closest so far is Silver Lake by BM, although it does appears a tad too light so I can move up to the next shade darker (it is from the old colours so easy to move up one shade in intensity) which I think will be a perfect match.
I got thinking that while I can match the current fence colour, I could consider changing the entire fence colour - although I am not that keen on painting the side fences I could do it. Photos to follow.
My options are:
(i) To match the back fence to the existing side fence colour
(ii) To get an approximate match, but maybe lighten/brighten the colour a bit - this way the match will be good enough that I won't have to rush to stain the side fences, but perhaps next summer I could redo the side fences.
(iii) To do the entire fence an entirely different colour (not sure what I would do, as white is one option and that might be a bit too bright in the sun, and I don't want the fence to be any darker).
Thoughts anyone?

Side fence colour with some test patches of stains on the back fence. The best match is the lower test stain but I will have to go one shade darker to get a better match. I do rather like the top shade as it is a bit more blue and a bit lighter and move lively.
Photo to show vinyl siding and the side fence colour.
I'd paint it in a crisp white but using flat paint. If you use a flat paint, it won't seem bright in the sunlight. White fences give a yard a crisp, clean look and feel. and you can put more plantings along the fence, and with the white peeping from behind them, it's very pretty.
Do a good amount of research before you start this project. You want to make sure you do it right, use the correct kind of paint and primer, etc.
Start with the link below.
As for the kind of white, you really just need a basic white. When you go to the paint store, just ask them for a good exterior white fence paint. They'll know.
Here is a link that might be useful: Painting a wood fence
I wouldn't paint the fence white. It would be blinding in the sun and much more upkeep to keep it looking good. The blue gray looks good even when a bit faded, but white won't. I would paint the lattice to match the fence, tho.
I can't help with specific paint colors, but think you are on the right track. I like fences (especially solid ones) that look like a backdrop for the plants in the yard.
We recently moved to Florida. I dislike those white, plastic fences. They are so artificial looking, so bright they scream as you go up the street.
I'm actually thinking of doing something similar. Our house is a greyish blue and I was thinking of staining the fence to match. I think the grey blends in to the landscape, doesn't scream and looks good with plants and trees.
Go with your original choice.
I had a wood picket fence and thought I wanted it white too. It looks beautiful, for about 5 minutes. The rain makes grey streaks on it, everything that touched it stained it, and it looked bad within just a few months.
Grey is much for forgiving. :)
So if you love re-painting, or patina doesn't bother you then you can go for the white. I've repainted mine grey and haven't needed to touch it since.

I-CAR is an independent, not-for-profit, technical training organization, formed in 1979 by the collision industry. All I-CAR activities focus on helping the industry achieve a high level of technical training. I-CAR's ultimate goal is that every person in the collision repair industry has the techincal knowledge and skills relevant to their position to ensure a safe and complete repair.
Until the early 1970's, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence(ASE) was established in 1972. ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.
The National Auto Body Council is a not-for-profit organization committed to the goal of improving the image of all dedicated professionals in the collision repair industry. Our mission is to implement programs and activities to enhance the image of the collision repair industry.
The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) is an organization committed to expanding the future of the collision repair industry, and to enhancing the professional image and expertise of its members. Through its direct members and 36 affiliate associations, SCRS is comprised of 9,000 collision repair businesses and 76,000 specialized professionals who work everyday with consumers and insurance companies to repair collision-damaged vehicles.

Customer Reviews
My Favorite Writing Tool.
I have used this program to mange my writing process for three ebooks to date (now working on a fourth). I have also used it as a first draft tool for fifteen to twenty blog posts. I have found it to be an excellent and enjoyable way to work. The import/export and backup functions all work flawlessly (I prefer to email a text file to myself as a backup mechanism). I also love the ease with which you can reorganize the sections or chapters in a project. The index card feature could stand to be better integrated into the workflow but, other than that minor issue, this is a really great tool for any serious writer. I have tried many other apps and keep coming back to this one. Highly recommended.
Great App but..
This an amazing app and I use it all the time for stories and articles but as some writers know, a book isn't written in a straight shot from beginning to end, often times you start at the end or somewhere in the middle and while the app is great, it doesn't allow me to move my chapters around so I can get them in order. If there was another update, I would like to be able to move the chapters around within the book. This is why it only got 4 stars instead of 5.
Almost Perfect
I really like this app. I use it for a lot of my writing. I like the fact that I can create separate chapters and have them all compiled into a single document.
While I would love to see this app get the capability of basic text formatting (italics, bold, etc.) what it desperately needs is an undo button. It is too easy to hit the wrong command and paste the wrong thing or delete something by accident on these touch screens so please please add this feature. Thanks!

blueberry question
About 3 months ago I bought two blueberry plants...both northern blueberries...one called Liberty and the other Aurora. Both were repotted into large pots.
The Liberty has been doing very well...getting bigger, and looking really healthy. Some of the stems however are getting a bit leggy and so the plant doesn't have a dense compact appearance anymore. Not that it looks BAD but....would it be better if I cut back some of the leggier stems in order to promote more bushy growth, or does it really not matter....and maybe it matters more in later years once I start getting actual fruit?
As for the Aurora plant, when I first got it it was in excellent shape...it even had berries already on it! But alas, I got busy with work and didn't repot or water it for 1.5 days...this during a really bad heatwave and with the plant sitting out on my balcony. While the Liberty fared fine, the Autora leaves and berries were completely dried out, and no amount of water could repair them. So I cut back the entire plant and within a few days I had new growth.
That was about 2.5 months ago. And while the plant looks ok, it has remained somewhat stagnant in comparison to the Liberty. The Aurora does have never growth...I can see that....but overall the rate of new growth is occurring very very slowly. Should I be concerned that it's growing so much slower than the Liberty?
I've been treating both plants the same...they get the same amount of sun, water, the occasional fish fertilizer. I'd heard that blueberries like acidic soil. Do I need to worry about that right now....adding something to make it more acidic? I think I'd heard you can/should do that in the Spring, using ammonium sulfate or blood meal?
oh...I also saw that it recommended pine, fir or hemlock for mulch, but I don't have any forests around here where I could collect some. ;-) Does anyone know of a place online that might sell this? Right now I have coconut mulch on top of the soil....
I have found that letting a bb plant dry out sets it back for some time. My guess is you won't see that plant take off again until next spring. Make sure when you water that you give it big drinks........fill the whole pot up with water. The reason I say this is because when I moved my plants from pots to the ground the bottom third of the pots had dead roots and the soil was all dry. You want to see some water coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot when you water.
When it gets super hot, you might try moving the plants to a spot where they aren't in full sun all day. They don't need full sun all day despite what most will tell you and when it's really hot they have trouble keeping up when in pots. My good friend has plants thriving in pots and they only get sun from about 9 am til 2 pm each day.
About the mulch, you might look around for a pine tree and collect the needles under it, this is what I did. Blend the pine needles with some peat moss which will help lower the pH. The pH of pine needles isn't quite low enough as I understand it and the peat will help correct this. You might also be able to find pine bark at Lowes, WalMart or Home Depot.
I don't have pine trees, but I rake up the fallen needles from my yew hedge and arborvitae for mulch.
Thanks all. I do always water the plant fully so that water pours out from the bottom of the planters. I then have the pot up on pot feet so that it gets a bit of air circulation underneath.
As for sun, my balcony only gets direct north/west sun from say 2:00-7:00p each day.
I think I did see pine bark mulch somewhere online...so that would work? I was thinking it had to be pine NEEDLES....
great on the stagnant thing...so I'll wait and see what happens next year.
I did find online bags of pine bark mulch, sold as '2 cubic feet', but I've no idea how big of a bag that means...whether that woiuld be enough/too much for two pots that are about 12' wide each.
Find an area nursery, they can probably help you. Tell them you need a small amount of pine mulch, better yet call around before taking the time to drive. If you can't find the pine then use peat.....it's good stuff and available almost anywhere.
In early spring cut back any dead limb tips and your plant that dried out and I'm guessing it will spring back.
Don't worry about the pine needles, they don't do much with the pH anyway. You are in pots, so just mulch with spagnum peat. We use whatever is available for mulch, wood shavings, wood chips but we need large volumes. Peat is too expensive, pine needles aren't available in this area by the semi-load like they are down South.

Retailers ready for record-breaking 'Grand Theft Auto IV'
- Tierney Plumb
- Staff Reporter
(Page 2 of 2)
The super-violent, action-driving game "Grand Theft Auto IV" hit stores Tuesday for both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 game systems, and D.C.-area retailers were ready for the sales rush.
Hours after the video game's midnight release, local retailers predicted a week of strong sales.
"There is no question this is a huge product on the Xbox and PlayStation 3," said Matt Wallace, assistant manager at GameStop in Tysons Corner Center. "We've had a lot of buzz and excitement beforehand, and having seen what the first 15 hours were like, I anticipate that it's going to be very big this week. I'd say this is the biggest title of the year to date and nothing bigger is on the horizon. I've had customers saying they've reserved their copy since June of last year."
Analysts predict first-week sales to near 6 million units, or $360 million, exceeding the record $300 million for the first week of Microsoft Corp.'s "Halo 3" last year.
It wouldn't be the first time the series by New York-based Rockstar Games has broken records. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" are both in the top five of all-time game sales. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" holds the No. 1 spot, having sold 21.5 million units since its launch in 2004.
"Grand Theft Auto IV" is "doing very well, as far as video games overall," said Dan Mhaano, a customer support agent at Starland Inc., a video game retailer based in Fairfax. "It has set records for pre-orders. I think there are enough copies, and I don't think there will be a shortage. But it may be difficult to get ahold of it after today."
Nine million copies of "Grand Theft Auto IV" are expected to sell by the fall, with the U.S. accounting for 60 percent of sales by year's end.
It is also the first game in the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, which debuted in 1997, that was released for both Microsoft and Sony consoles.
Microsoft's larger market share gives its Xbox 360 an advantage over Sony's PlayStation 3. But Sony is banking on the game's release as a chance for fans of the earlier "Grand Theft Auto" games on PlayStation 2 to upgrade their hardware to PlayStation 3, said Scott Steinberg, Sony Computer Entertainment America's vice president of product marketing.
Time will reveal the profitability behind the $59.99 game, in which an Eastern European gangster speeds around fictional Liberty City in search of corrupt cops, prostitutes and drug money.
Game industry software sales are expected to grow 20 percent year-over-year in 2008, with hardware sales growing 13 percent, according to Mike Hickey, analyst with Janco Partners.
New York-based Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), which owns Rockstar Games, recently rejected a deal with Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) to acquire the game publisher for around $2 billion.

Cypher
Text by Jeff Chang
 Preface by ORB
 Photographed by Charles Peterson
Hardcover, 136 pages | powerHouse Books | Photography - Photo Essays; Performing Arts - Dance - Popular | $35.00 | 978-1-57687-456-1 (1-57687-456-7)
Acclaimed rock photographer Charles Peterson is back with a new subject—the world of contemporary breakdancing. B-boying, as it's referred to by its adepts, centers around the "cypher" (circle) created when b-boys and b-girls gather to practice or to "battle." Bigger and badder than ever, breakdancing has grown since its beginnings in the 1970s to become a global youth phenomenon today. Yet it remains a highly individualized practice—all one needs to get down are some beats and a smooth floor (and, of course, scads of strength, style, and brio).

With Cypher, Peterson takes a fresh look at this phenomenon with his own brand of fine-art documentation: part Larry Fink, part Barbara Morgan, with a heaping dose of the spirit that defined his previous powerHouse monograph, Touch Me I'm Sick. He focuses not only on some of the most radical performances by today's most talented breakers, but also on the fans, the sidelines, and the camaraderie of the crews in order to put you inside the world of the b-boy.

Taken primarily with cumbersome medium-format cameras, the photographs have the depth and resolution normally associated with high-end fashion and portrait photography— even when the subjects are caught spontaneously in mid-air! Despite the awkwardness of the method, the photos still have all the buzz and excitement found in Peterson's iconic images of the grunge movement, with an added twist of unexpected elegance.

Cypher was shot over a period of six years, primarily in Peterson's hometown of Seattle, as well as at major events over the last few years in Los Angeles, New York City, and Portland, Oregon.

Lifescape to assist seniors affected by loss of Illinois Cares Rx funding
June 27, 2012
Staff Report
As a result of the Illinois General Assembly action on the state budget, funding for the Illinois Cares Rx program has been eliminated. This elimination means seniors who qualified for the program will no longer receive help with prescription drugs or with their Medicare Part D plan premium.
Participants in the program who may have questions about how these changes will affect their prescription coverage should call the Lifescape Community Services' SeniorAssist Department to get specific details about how you will be affected.
Call (815) 963-1609 to speak with a Lifescape caseworker. The changes in coverage will begin July 1.

Top 100 April Fools Ever
My Son Peter — Here's a spooky site. It's called 'My Son Peter.' I'll use the text from the site itself to describe it: "My son Peter has always loved to play hide and seek. In fact, he loves it so much that he will wake me up in the middle of the night to play. The only problem is that Peter has been dead for eight years. This website documents the hell I've lived and continue to live every night." It's a fairly simple site, and it doesn't look like it's been updated for quite a while, so maybe…

Hold the Button — Talk about sheer useless stupidity... Holdthebutton.com challenges you to see how long you can hold down the button of your mouse while keeping it positioned over a small rectangle. I managed exactly seven seconds, though they say that the average time is 4 minutes (do people really have nothing better to do?). But this is the part that I'm convinced must be a hoax. They claim that the record is over 13 days. Unless someone wedged something over their mouse button and then left it there…

Plug n Pray — Here's a product that we need more than ever! It's Plug 'n' Pray. The software kit that easily allows you to convert to a new religion. As the blurb on the website says, "Do you need to change religion to grab the chance for a career outlook? Are you going to work abroad? Getting a new customized god is easy with Plug'n'Pray. A new spirituality and a new respectability can be yours at a mouse click." I especially like the 'Switch Kits' available in the Palestine and Ulster editions.…
Worlds busiest hoax caller — I would say that this kid has issues. He's been charged with making thousands of hoax phone calls to emergency services in Scotland. 3000 alone just in the past few weeks, and thousands more during previous months. In one day alone he made over 300 calls. And he's only twelve. I guess PlayStation doesn't do it for him.
NCSU Fellatio-Breast Cancer Study — While I was away in England during October I missed a bunch of news. One story that I missed was the remarkable spread of a spoof CNN webpage (see PDF file) claiming that "Fellatio may significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in women." Reading through it now, I don't see how anyone could not have recognized it as a joke. After all, how many doctors are named "Dr. Inserta Shafteer"? But apparently many people were fooled. CNN was annoyed enough that they threatened the creator of…
Happy 50th Birthday, Piltdown Man! — The Piltdown Man skull is being taken out of storage this month and put on display at Britain's Natural History Museum, as part of the Pfizer Annual Science Forum. They're putting it on display in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the fraud (I guess it's better to celebrate when they discovered the fraud, rather than when the fraud was first perpetrated). The Washington Post has a good, informative article about the history of Piltdown Man.
No Joke. It's a Robbery! — Here's an interesting situation. A robber walks into a store, waves a gun around, and tells the cashier to give him all the money in the register. The cashier takes one look at the gun, thinks it's plastic, and assumes the guy is joking. So she tells him to get lost. Frustrated, the would-be robber runs out of the store. But authorities now believe the robbery attempt was real, which makes the woman quite lucky. But there's still the possibility that the gun actually was a fake. After…

Lucky — Here's another image from the San Diego fires that seems to be too amazing to be real, but is actually totally genuine. It's circulating around with the caption 'lucky bastard' (enlarge it to see why this makes perfect sense). It was sent to me by Kentaro Mori of Liquito. I think that the photo was taken in the Scripps Ranch neighborhood of San Diego, though I could be wrong about that. According to the navy website which the picture comes from, the photo was taken from a Sea King…

They posted the pictures of the slaughter on their website, thereby causing widespread outcry. But one of the pictures is also provoking debate of a different kind. It shows the water of the cove turned an almost neon red color because of the blood of the dolphins. People looking at this are wondering, can that possibly be real? Can…

Fecal Tongs — Okay, this is gross, but what else would you expect from a web hoax? It's some guy's collection of fecal tongs. Personally, I've never heard of such a thing as a fecal tong before. They look like just regular tongs to me. In fact, I would say that this site is actually just a collection of pictures of tongs, (so it's quite safe for work, unless your boss would object to the word 'fecal') which this guy has managed to spin a wild story around.

The 1938 Panic Broadcast Revisited — The Toronto Star has an article about the 1938 War of the Worlds panic (the anniversary of which is today)... and they quote me in it! The article argues that the mass panic was much smaller than is popularly thought. I'm inclined to agree with this. My reasons are: being familiar with the way in which stories about hoaxes are told, I know that the impact hoaxes make is often exaggerated in order to tell a better story. So it sounds a lot more dramatic to say that one million people…

Student Seeking Help — A student from Dunwoody Highschool in Dunwoody, Georgia sent me a note through the form on my comments page asking for help with a science fair project about gullibility. Unfortunately this student didn't include their return email address, so I don't know how to contact them. So hey, if you're the student who contacted me and you're reading this, send me another email, but remember to include a return address.

Fire Scene — Here's a very cool picture of one of the San Diego fires. For a second I actually thought it was fake because it seemed weird that traffic was heading right into the fire. Plus the time stamp looked odd (it's stamped October 28, even though the picture was posted on the 27th, and the woman who posted it says it was taken on the 26th... maybe their camera has the wrong date). I thought maybe someone had pasted the bottom scene of the traffic together with the top scene of the smoke. But…

Plane Meets Truck — I received this image from 'Detective Kid' who wants to know if it's real or fake. I've been checking it out and can't see anything obviously fake about it. The picture has a watermark on it, that I can't read. It's something like 'erzool.com.' If anyone knows anything about the picture, let me know. UPDATE: A solution to this photo comes from Jeffrey Schuh: "This photo is a national geographic photograph. The photo has been republished in 'The Photographs' coffee table book. (The…

If we draft a player from a team other than the Chiefs, what do we do if they leave their team via free agency? We remove Chiefs who leave via free agency, so it seems fair to do it to others. For example, I have CJ Spiller. If he moves from his team via free agency, it seems like I should lose him, too.
However, it may be a hassle to do that unless we have people do it on their own teams via the honor system. I'm not sure there's a great way to do it because I can't really track every player as our rosters diverge. Should we remove them ourselves for our own teams, or just leave them be?
I also recognize that we have an inherent disadvantage in not being able to sign our own free agents, so perhaps the advantage of keeping our drafted free agents merely offsets this disadvantage. (I'm rationalizing, of course.)

Liberty Ross is currently going though another tough time in her life now that she has officially filed divorce from director-husband Rupert Sanders. The couple attempted to fix their damaged relationship but did not work so the English model revealed that she still feels sorry for Robert Pattinson who reunited with Kristen Stewart.
Despite feeling sorry Robert Pattinson, Liberty Ross still does not reach out to the "Twilight" actor.
An unnamed friend close to Liberty revealed: "Rupert brought them into this entire situation and unfortunately Liberty and Robert, the poor little guy, were hurt the most. The entire situation is one she wants behind her and being away from everyone involved would be best for her."
According to the HollywoodLife report, Liberty Ross did everything she could to save her relationship with Rupert Sanders. Unfortuantely, the 34-year-old model could not move on from his infidelity with actress Kristen Stewart which led to her decision of ending their marriage.
"Liberty tried for reconciliation but it was impossible. The mistrust went too deep. The decision to divorce was hers. Of course she is heartbroken and Liberty was humiliated. Liberty is a strong woman and will be just fine. Rupert is not taking it well at all. I can only imagine how Kristen feels, that her actions contributed to the break-up of a family," the friend further revealed.
Liberty Ross cited "irreconcilable differences" on the recently released divorce papers. She petitions for joint legal custody with their two children, 8-year-old daughter Skyla and 6-year-old son Tennyson. Moreover, Liberty demands for financial support from Rupert Sanders including her legal fees.
During a sole public interview in 2012, this is what Liberty Ross said about the cheating scandal between husband Rupert Sanders and "Twilight" actress Kristen Stewart: "I believe that we're all on journeys and we are all given lessons at certain times in our lives. Sometimes, when things seem really bad, you have to be able to see the good and learn from it and move forward as graciously as possible."
