1990 Volkswagen GTI Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 17 reviews
Based on the popular Golf hatchback, the two-door Volkswagen GTI came with a choice of two engines in the 1990 model year. The base engine was a 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder powerplant that generated 105 horsepower, while the GTI 16V trim package came with a 2.0-liter double-overhead-cam 4-cylinder engine that goosed horsepower up to 134. Both versions of the GTI came with a five-speed manual overdrive transmission as standard equipment; an automatic transmission was not available.
Standard features for the GTI included power brakes, power steering, bucket seats, alloy wheels, a rear window defroster, foglights, and a tachometer. The GTI 16V added Recaro seats and 15-inch wheels, among other features.
Generally, drivers like the GTI because they considered it a fun car to drive, and it has proven especially popular with aftermarket fans who like to trick the car out with additional parts.

Understanding of animal social and sexual evolution has seen a renaissance in recent years with discoveries of frequent infidelity in apparently monogamous species, the importance of sperm competition, active female mate choice, and eusocial behavior in animals outside the traditional social insect groups. Each of these findings has raised new questions, and suggested new answers about the evolution of behavioral interactions among animals. This volume synthesizes recent research on the sexual and social biology of the Crustacea, one of the dominant invertebrate groups on earth. Its staggering ... More

A piece of gum can help remove music stuck in your head, researcher say
Hamilton singer-songwriter Chris Adeney is better known as Wax Mannequin, a musical alter ego with a reputation for intense and sometimes surreal live performances and an eclectic sound that might swing from hushed folk to loud guitar rock within the same set.
On his latest album, No Safe Home, Adeney spends more time on the quieter end of the spectrum, though he's quick to point out similarities to his previous work.
"I think a lot of the material I was writing for that album was more folk-based, quieter, low-key tonally but lyrically it's consistent with what I've been doing all along," he said in a recent phone interview. "I move between more rhythmic, intense music and quiet, more introspective stuff and I think this record is more melodic and folk-based but the melodies and the lyrics kind of tie in with everything I've put out in the past."
Recorded at the White House studio in Hamilton with friend and producer Nick Johannes, the sessions for No Safe Home unfolded at a leisurely pace, allowing Adeney the time to experiment with new ideas.
"I had a lot of fun making it. The studio wasn't far from my home, so I could sort of go over in spare hours and chip away at it in a more playful way than in other projects, when I have to book a whole weekend or whole week at a studio. It's nice to have some flexibility and space for creativity and moment-to-moment inspiration," he said.
Speaking of creativity, Adeney has come up with a unique method of giving fans access to his six-album back catalogue. About a year and a half ago, he began creating wax candles in the shape of his own head to sell on a west coast tour, sculpting the head from clay himself to make a mould for the wax. The candles are still available for sale but are now embedded with a USB stick crammed with all of his previous albums. There's just one catch, however — to retrieve the music, you have to destroy the candle.
"You have to burn the candle to get at the music," he said. "That's the way I re-release my old material now. Instead of burning to CD or cassette or pressing to vinyl, I figure I'll put it out in candle form."
Adeney also occasionally performs with a lit candle on his head, which produces the memorable effect of decorating his head and face with dripping wax.
"I didn't think of it as something I'd ever do live until I was out in Vancouver and people I was performing with encouraged me to try it and it was pretty ridiculous. So we had fun doing that, it was quite messy," he said. "From time to time the candle emerges when I'm feeling particularly randy."
Surely, though, this is some kind of perilous fire hazard?
"No, it seems to adhere itself fairly well," said Adeney. "So far there haven't been any real dangers, except for in Innsbruck, Austria, actually. It was only an incident when I took the candle off my head and set it on a table on the stage. I think a piece of cloth or something caught fire and someone from the audience jumped up and put it out before I'd even noticed it. But yeah, I guess it comes with a certain risk. So far, I've been lucky."
That near-blaze occurred on Adeney's recent three-week, five-country European tour to promote the re-release of his 2009 album Saxon on the German-based label Artfull Sounds. No Safe Home will see a European release in April and between now and then, he'll be performing throughout Ontario while continuing to work on recording his next album.
Though Adeney often performs alone, he said Wax Mannequin is not strictly a one-man band.
"Here in Hamilton, I have a core group of musicians that I work with to perform some of the shows with a backing band. I have a lot of fun with that (but) it's always logistically more challenging to work with a full band, so I end up doing a lot of shows solo just because it's psychologically easier for me. I mean, I have a hard enough time keeping my own (stuff) together, let alone four other people, but it's something I enjoy doing and I always will play with a band as well."
That said, Adeney will be performing solo at Maxwell's Music House in Waterloo tonight (Jan. 3) with support from Pat Maloney, Dan Howler and Kyle Stephens. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and it's $8 to get in.

Doosan is adding more power, performance and speed to the 16-ton excavator market with the iT4 DX140LCR-3. Presenting contractors with an ideal machine for operating in tight quarters, the tail swing radius on the DX140LCR-3 is only 5 feet, which results in a tail swing overhang of just 9 inches over the side of the machine.
Few machines have had more impact in construction and earthmoving operations than a heavy excavator. In the past five years, over 84 percent of heavy excavator sales to end users have been in these applications.

Reduced swing tail excavators from John Deere, Hitachi, Volvo, Case, Bobcat, Doosan Infracore Construction America and New Holland Construction.
The new Doosan DXB130H and DXB190H hydraulic breakers feature an energy recovery system that increases strike power for maximum productivity.
Featuring a flat top mount design, the new Doosan plate compactors can easily be mounted to different carriers. The flat-top design allows a "cap" to be added to the attachment based on the specific machine being used.

Both the chef, Tim and the waiter, Chris were on top of their game. Enjoyed every minute we spent at the restaurant.

This airport hotel is top notch. From check-in through check-out, I was totally satisfied. The airport shuttle is quick. The staff are all professional. The lemon/cucumber infused water is a great perk. The amenities are super (in room coffee, tea, water, 24-hour fitness, etc.).

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bullie65 Not as good as expected
We were placed in a room directly next to the outdoor entrance so we listened to the door open and close most of the night. This was very disconcerting as it was just me and my son and it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room. I am sure if we contacted the front desk they would have moved us but it was late and we were tired. We received a note under our door stating that construction above us would be beginning at 8:30 am but were not told this by the front desk. The WiFi didn't work until the morning, poor connection. Other Four Points offer free breakfast and this one did not. I reported all of this at time of check out.

Rated 1 out of 5 by PB14 Bad night stay at Four Points Tucson
Checked into a very hot room. It took 4 hours for the room to cool down. Made for a miserable sleepless night.
When my kids went to sleep and pulled back the sheets they found a used nasal strip in the sheets. Makes me think the sheets are not being changed.
I could not get assistance from your office staff waited 15 minutes in the lobby and then finally left.
As a Starwood preferred gold member I used my Starwood points to pay for the night and I feel I would have been better off paying for the night at a competitor's property rather than staying at this property. This is my first bad experience with a Sheraton Hotel. Very disappointed.

The front desk staff and shuttle staff were great. The restaurant/bar staff were not! There were only 12 people at the bar and no one in the restaurant yet and the service was extremely slow. The bartended would walk buy many times and never see an empty glass! The room was small and crowded - age is showing in the walls and carpet. We finally had the a/c down to 67 and the room just would not get cool. The halls are very hot so perhaps the a/c could not compete.

I had to come to Tucson for business, but brought my wife so she could enjoy a little downtime in the sun. We got upgraded to the suite - SWEET! Nice room. The hotel is relatively laid back - not a ton of guests hustling and bustling about, is literally within walking distance of the airport if you don't want to use Sheraton's shuttle, and we found it to be just a quaint little hotel but with all the amenities you'd expect of a Sheraton property, plus the best food in town, literally. I think for fine dining, Tucson residents probably come to the Airport Four Points for dinner. We will Definitely be staying there again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bellissima Excellent Hotel
I was exceedingly pleased and surprised by this hotel. I only stayed one night because I was flying out of Tucson the next day. Originally I booked the hotel solely for the convenience of the proximity to the airport; however, the hotel and staff are superb and I would have stayed longer had I known of the quality of the hotel.
The front desk staff was professional and very efficient and provided everything I required. The room and bed were very comfortable. The landscaping outside is exceptional and of resort quality.
The onsite restaurant is exceptional and rivals any 5-star restaurant. The bartender and waiters are incredible . The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and entices guests to linger because the surroundings are so pleasant.
I plan to recommend this hotel to anyone I know who may travel to Tucson.

Sebelius said she also was determined to correct some of the "misinformation and confusion about what happens and when it happens," Politico reported Friday.
In an interview with the Washington publication, the secretary pledged a hands-on approach, "a sense of urgency and as much say-so for the states as possible."
The department's payroll of nearly 80,000 employees likely would grow, but by how much hasn't been determined, Sebelius said.
"Some of what is anticipated is new responsibilities, potentially -- not necessarily new people or new bureaucracies," she said. "I'm a big believer that you start with assuming that you do more with less. ... We have new responsibilities, but we've got to figure out what, within our resources, we have the capacity to take on immediately."
She said she would be working to ensure "the promise of this historic legislation is really delivered a step at a time and in a very confident way."
Sebelius told Politico administration lawyers assured her the healthcare bill is on "strong" legal ground, so she said she would let lawyers worry about constitutional challenges by 14 state attorneys general.

Microsoft Intros 200GB SkyDrive Plan Ahead of Windows 8.1, Surface 2
The OS and tablet company unveils a new SkyDrive storage option in a bid to get Windows users to park more of their data on the cloud.
Microsoft launched a new SkyDrive plan weeks ahead of the impending releases of Windows 8.1 and Surface 2 tablets. The cloud storage service now provides 200GB of additional capacity for $100 per year. The move comes as the software giant prepares to bring out the sweeping Windows 8.1 update and new Surface 2 tablets, both of with feature deep SkyDrive integration. "SkyDrive is the default location for saving your files," in Windows 8.1, Omar Shahine, group program manager of SkyDrive.com, noted in a Sept. 23 blog post. "We didn't want you to worry about filling up your hard drive, so we invented smart files to allow you to access your entire SkyDrive from your device, without actually having to store everything locally." For some perspective, Shahine offered that "200GB is enough space to take a photo, every hour, from the moment someone is born, to the day they graduate from college."

Comments: The Thirty Years War Redux [Bumped]
That works out to about 7 rounds per person. They must think we will be hard to hit.
Posted by m at February 7, 2013 8:28 AM
I keep saying this and people keep poo pooing it, but this is the most effective way to choke off ammunition supply and drive prices up: buy up all the ammo. Napolitano has made it very clear she considers patriots and white Americans a threat to national security, so its natural for her to disarm them.
Posted by Christopher Taylor at February 7, 2013 9:04 AM
In Nam the ammo rate was 200,000 rounds per enemy kill. If the DHS has purchased approximately 1 billion rounds in the past 12 months approximately 5000 American citizens are at risk of being shot and killed by these goons. And yes, they are goons friends.
Posted by Terry at February 7, 2013 9:06 AM
Interesting thought Christopher.
Posted by Potsie at February 7, 2013 9:20 AM
What is the nefarious purpose behind these enormous purchases? We must remember who we are talking about:
So not only is the DHS stockpiling decades of war's worth of ammunition - which means literally centuries of DHS usage - it's doing so through front companies that come into and presumably disappear once the checks have been written. The real questions here are who owns or controls Evian Group and what is his/their connection to the Democrat party?
Again the question, Why is DHS buying all this ammo? It is to transfer enormous sums of money to politically-connected or -useful individuals. In other words, the massive purchases are just old fashioned, money laundering graft and corruption. It sure would be useful to know how much Evian was paid for the ammo, because my guess is that Evian's controllers are buying the ammo from manufacturers at discount, then marking it up at least 40 percent to sell it to DHS.
What ultimately happens to that 40 percent markup? It goes two places: the bank accounts of Evian's controllers get half and the other half is funneled through shell-corp non-profits and foundations, finally to the Democrat National Committee and Democrat campaigns and causes.
Posted by Donald Sensing at February 7, 2013 9:41 AM
My question here concerns intent. Does DHS just intend to buy up all the ammo and drive prices out of range of the average American? In that case, just keeping it hidden in some Lost Ark-style warehouse would be sufficient. But if they plan to issue it, I foresee problems. The military knows how to get ammo to the troops, they've been doing it for 230+ years. DHS, which has thus far proven incapable of finding its ass with both hands and flashlight, doesn't have that experience. And that's a lot of bullets to hand out.

I see a billion and a half Barney Fifes.
Posted by mushroom at February 7, 2013 1:40 PM
So...... Maybe the next move for DHS, since they can't easily outlaw guns, will be to forbid further manufacture of ammo in the U.S. and forbid import of the same.
Posted by Hangtown Bob at February 7, 2013 3:47 PM
Oh I think Christopher Taylor is bang on the mark. Can I still say bang?
Posted by DHH at February 7, 2013 4:13 PM
Oh, to have some whistle-blower leak the info of just where those warehouses are and what the distribution blueprints have mapped out?
It's our ammo, we've paid for it!
Not that I'm a fan of .40 S&W, but hey, if the price is right?

Good the warehouses will be full of ammunition when the rebels break in to steal it.
Posted by Fat Man at February 7, 2013 6:34 PM
I agree.
The primary reason is graft, pure and simple. But pricing out troublesome citizens is pretty tasty gravy for the Regime, too.
Witness and wonder, oh subjects - an administration policy that accomplishes its objectives!
Treasure this moment.
Posted by TmjUtah at February 7, 2013 7:51 PM
Oh you people really need to look at the big picture, and not get all focused on just this ONE issue, and realize that elections don't matter, and it doesn't make any difference who is in office.... RIGHT, Potsie? AMIRIGHT??
After all, according to Potsie, since the two parties are ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL, Romney's head of Homeland Security, would also be buying up 22 more million rounds of ammo right now, JUST LIKE Obama's is.
Potsie has shown me the LIGHT!

The problem with this is that at some point hijacking and armory robberies become economically feasible. That's not a threat or a suggestion, just an observation.

- Filed Under
(Blu-ray + DVD + Ultraviolet). Warner Home Video ($35.99)
Rated: R, language, violence, nudity, drug use
The lowdown: No weddings, no bachelor parties in this third outing starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. This time, Galifianakis' Alan goes off his meds, which creates one last comic odyssey for the Wolfpack. The movie is not as funny as its predecessors, but at least it changed up the formula. The film, produced for $103 million, was released on May 23. It earned $112.2 million in the United States and $238.8 million overseas. Critics were very sober in assessing the film, giving it a 19 percent positive rating at Rottentomatoes.com., where Claudia Puig of USA Today wrote, "Nothing about this rote exercise feels remotely fresh. It's a re-tread of the 2009 original, sans the inspired lunacy."
Don't miss: Among the extras is a funny featurette titled "Replacing Zach: The Secret Auditions." Other extras include outtakes, a look at the Wolfpack's wildest stunts, Galifianakis in his own words, an action mash-up, a look at the real Chow, a behind-the-scenes with the cast as they discuss working with children and animals, and extended scenes.
Score: ★★
(Blu-ray). Breaking Glass Pictures ($29.99)
Rated: Not rated
The lowdown: This Canadian feature about self-discovery centers on Laurence, a French teacher and author who, the day after his 35th birthday, confesses to his fiancee, Frederique, that he wants to become a woman. He asks for her support as he goes about transforming himself. The film follows the couple's on-again, off-again relationship throughout the 1990s. They face prejudice, bigotry and heartache. In the end, though, acceptance wins out. The movie features a strong score that includes music by Celine Dion, The Cure, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and Kim Carnes. This highly acclaimed feature runs about two hours and 40 minutes. It won recognition at several film festivals and competitions. The film, released on June 28, received a limited release in the United States, but the majority of critics who reviewed the film praised it. On the tomatometer, "Laurence Anyways" received an 82 percent positive rating., with Gannett Chief Film Critic Bill Goodykoontz noting, "It's all too much, really, including its 2�-hour-plus running time. But it's also engrossing, an ultimately tender story of a transsexual's transformation over 10 years and its effect on him and the people around him."
Don't miss: Extras include deleted scenes and a Museum of Modern Art evening with the film's director, Xavier Dolan.
Score: ★★★½
(Blu-ray + Ultraviolet). Warner Home Video ($49.99)
Rated: R, disturbing images, violence, language
The lowdown: William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's novel has lost some of its shock value, but it remains a compelling and frightening feature. The story of a young girl's demonic possession and the battle for her soul between good and evil still retains its power. The set includes the theatrical version and Friedkin's extended director's cut. "The Exorcist" was released on Dec. 26, 1973. It has earned $232.9 million domestically and $204.8 million overseas. At Rottentomatoes, it garnered an 87 percent positive rating., with 46 of 53 reviews praising the thriller.
Don't miss: A featurette with Blatty returning to where he wrote the novel and sharing his memories of the experience, another in which Blatty discusses the origins of the book and the exorcism that inspired it, an introduction by Friedkin, individual commentaries with Blatty and Friedkin, a 1998 BBC documentary about the movie, a featurette on the making of the movie, a then-and-now look at the film's locations, a featurette on the different version of the film, the original ending, interviews and sketches and storyboards are among the hours of extras.
Score: ★★★½

Published: | February 22, 2012 |
Abstract: | LoopDA 3.0 is an update to version 1.0 of the natural ventlation design tool developed by the Natural Institute of Standards and Technology. This software tool can be utilized to determine the size of natural ventilation openings necessary to provide a airflow rates that satisfy design requirements based on minimum ventilation and cooling load requirements. The method employed is based largely upon the Loop Equation Design Method that provides for sizing of openings to utilize driving wind and stack pressures to achieve design airflow rates. This version implements a simple thermal design calculation to assist in determining design tempertures and airflow rates and provides a more streamlined interface to more efficiently implement the design process as compared to the previous version. A simple design example is also provided. |

Is Jacobs too risky as a No. 1 RB?
The Giants back has size and talent, but there's the matter of injuries and split carries
Can you count on Brandon Jacobs as your No. 1 running back?
Haven't you seen the ESPN.com "Follow Your Sports: Fantasy Football" commercial yet? (If you haven't, click here to watch it.) When Jacobs makes his appearance, it clearly reads "Round 1."
I'm a company man, and I think we all can agree that Round 1 clearly equates with "No. 1 fantasy running back." So there's your answer, in one word: Yes.
OK, I kid. There's a little more to the debate than the mere one-word ...

Mt. Parnitha is located in Attiki province,25km N from the city of Athens.It is one of the 4 mountains(the others are Immitos,Penteli and Aigaleo) that surround the circular plain,in which the city of Athens is built.Mt Parnitha is the talllest and more impressive among the mountains that surround Athens.Despite its proximity to Athens,it has a much different climate,with lots of heavy rain,many days of snowfall and annual average temperature 5-10degrees C lower than Athens depending on the altitute and the part of the mountain. Mt Parnitha, is the only mountain around Athens plain,that counts weeks,even months(depending on the elevation)of snow coverage.In the upper part of the mountain(above 1000m)the temperature even in summer afternoons,never exceeds 30 degrees C.In Winter,on the other hand we have lots of days of snowfall resulting even in 0,5-1m height of snow in some slopes and the temperature hardly exceeds 0 degrees C at the higher part of Parnitha.Most of the snowfall in Parnitha,happens January and February.Usually most of the snow melts until late March but in the northern slopes of the highest peaks,especially Karavola,it can be kept until mid to late April,depending on the winter.
Mt Parnitha has lots of springs of constant flow(maybe 50) and lots of boiling rivers that form very beautiful ponds even small waterfalls in Winter and early Spring.Most of the rivers and streams in Parnitha get dry during late Summer or early Autumn and their flow varies very much from season to season,depending on the snowfalls of each Winter.
Mt Parnitha although it is a relatively low mountain(1413m)it is very extensive covering the half part of the northern area of Attiki province.It has a nearly square shape,with the main ridgeline proceeding in W to E direction for nearly 20km and some minor peaks inclining from it.The mountains rises just above Athens NW and N suburbs and its nortern slopes reach the towns of Malakasa and Avlona located 40 and 50km corresponding from Athens.In the East the mountain rises just above the towns of Varimpompi,Krioneri and Afidnes(20-30km) away from the centre of Athens.The SW foot of Parnitha is near the towns of Aspopirgos and in Fuli(Athens suburb) but the mountains exceeds too long to the NW reaching the Skourtas plateau in the borders with Voiotia province.
Mt Parnitha is full of thick forests,steep and easy slopes,huge cliffs,impressive ravines crossed by small but boiling streams especially in early Spring.The water of the streams in South Parnitha join with Kifissos river that crosses Athens,the streams of NW Parnitha contribute To Mavrorema stream.The streams in N,NE Parnitha form Viroi stream,that connects as also as Mavrorema with Asopos river in North Attiki.Finally the streams in East Parnitha form Charadros river,which sheds in Marathonas lake.Mt Parnitha is covered with pine trees from the feet to 700m elevation,with mixed pine and fir-tree forest in 700-1000m and with thick fir forests above 1000m.Near rivers lots of plane and poplar trees are found.
All these elements make Mt Parnitha a very beautiful mountain,the most attractive in Attiki province,worth visiting all seasons of the year.In Summer one could enjoy cool and fresh breeze and the shadow of the trees.In Autumn the colours are unique especially,near the streams and the rivers.In Winter the mountain gives another feeling with the snowcapped slopes so close to Athens.Finally,in Spring the meadows and the valleys are in bloom and water,streams flow everywhere.
The major and more distinctive peaks are:
These 2 highest peaks are full of military installations and antennas so they are not reachable
Plati Vouno(1171m)
Among them the most impressive ravines are Chouni,Agias Triadas,Gkouras,Mavrorema and Charadros ravine.The upper half of the mountain is covered with snow for at least 2months,usually mid-January to mid March but in the northern slopes of Karavola peak remains of snow can be found even in late April.The snow is usually soft and never icy,so special equipment isn't needed to ascent Parnitha in winter,apart from a solid trekking boot and a pair of gaiters.There is not a danger of an avalance.
Important,is the presence of red deer in areas of Parnitha's national park.The population is quite good reaching 300-400 animals.
Getting There
Usual starting points to ascent Mt Parnitha are:The valley Makrichorafo(570m)
The town Afidnes(300m),if there isn't a car to proceed to Makrichorafo
The town Thrakomakedones(400m)
The parking of the cable car(480m)
The town Fuli(250m)
The village Avlon(180m)
The village Sfendali(290m)
The town Varibobi(300m)
There are city buses from the centre of Athens that reach Acharnes(200m) at the south feet of the mountain with the numbers A10,B10.From there someone can proceed to the parking of the cable car(4-5km) and start the ascent.There is a bus from Nea Ionia to the suburb of Thrakomakedones with the number 724.There are also city buses from Kifisia to Varibobi(SE feet of Parnitha) and from centre to Fuli(SW feet of Parnitha).Also the train can be used for the rest approaches of Mt.Parnitha.From the railway stations of Afidnes,Sfendali(2km from Malakasa) and Avlon someone could start the ascent to Mt.Parnitha.There is a cable car from an elevation of 485m that reaches one of Parnithas peaks in 1050m.Just beside the cable car starts the well known Chouni ascent one of the most crowded.From Thrakomakedones there are 2 paths that each one leads to one of the 2 refuges of the mountains and its peaks.From Afidnes good road leads to Makrichorafo valley from which the path ascents the East side of the mountain.From Avlon and Sfendali,paths and bad gravel roads lead to the N and NE areas of Parnitha in areas like Loimiko,Ntrasiza,Palaiomilesi spring,Xouliza,Mola.Also somebody can make the 2 full crossings of Mt.Parnitha.One crossing is from Fuli to Malakasa through Tamilthi spring,Panas cave,Skipiza spring,Mola and the other is from Thrakomakedones to Avlon through Chouni ravine,Mpafi refuge,Mola,Loimiko valley,Pireza.Both are demanding routes requiring 10-12 hours walk.

Detox-The Untold Truth
No matter how embarassing it may sound. I heard of some cases where people's urine gets funky and for some women who have had vaginal discharges, funky breath, and actually funky smelling skin that needed extra cleansing due to the body purging itself of toxins. Can someone please fill me in on whether these things are possible? Because I know people choose not to talk about it because it's a little more personal. But I'd want to be prepared for it all. It's just like weight loss, which I've experienced before, when people talk about their rings on their fingers sliding off, shoe and clothing size changes. However, no one mentions that their drawers and panties don't fit anymore and they have to get new ones although it is the truth and a part of the weight loss journey. So people, someone, please open up and tell me RAW facts about the detox process and symptoms even if you must tell me that I may need to bathe more because I don't want to be surprised and go to a doctor unnecessarily. thanks a lot. God Bless.
well there is no way to be prepared for it all because it's different for everyone. from reading a lot, i'd say the most common symptoms seem to be fatigue, digestive upset, and skin breakouts. google detox for more scary details!
I definitely notice more body odor when I'm on the Master Cleanse, but OTOH my skin looks amazing. I always get compliments from people that I'm glowing, whether they know why or not. I guess that offsets the nasty coated tongue too. One thing that really helps with body odor is chlorophyll. It's an amazing internal deodorizer. In fact, dog breeders often give it to their bitches in heat so that the males don't go crazy from the scent. ;) A great supplement that is high in chlorophyll is chlorella, an algae. It's awesome because it's a great "clean-up" tool that binds mercury and other toxins. So when you are de-toxing and mobilizing all those toxins, it will help bind and move them out of your body quicker. Of course, you can't do that on the Master Cleanse because you can't ingest anything other than what's on the plan, but you can otherwise take as much as you want. If you try chlorella, make sure your stools turn green or you are part of the population that can't digest the cell wall, so it's passing right through you. An alternative is to get "broken cell-wall" chlorella. I get loose chlorella powder from my acupuncturist and add it to smoothies. You just have to be careful because anything it touches will turn green! lol
i've noticed odor, especially in the pitts....but its an easily washable odor; or if in a position where i can't wash, i use the crystal deodorant which almost immediately remedies the prob.
i've noticed i don't need to use 'antiperspirant/ deodorants' anymore; the crystal works just fine...even in high-movement, intense situations.
i get a really filmy, cloudy blah tongue when i wake up, filled with nastiness--- possibly toxins excreted and multiplied in my mouth and throat when i'm asleep? but i've found oil pulling (ayurvedic) to work wonders for getting rid of this, and for cleansing.
Here's my own experience, not for the squeamish! When I started off raw I farted loads for about four days, really bad ones, like I had a dead sewer rat stuck up there. And when I went to the toilet it smelled like a beach does a few days after a summer storm! It was really sticky too, took half a roll to wipe every time. I also got headaches, and lesions on my arm and neck that went all scabby. So, have fun! :)
dude, DS- i've sooo had gas too thanks for reminding me...like, gas and bloat? but this was when i aimed for high-fruit, low-fat days. (like today, i've consumed all fruit (with the exception of 2 raw onion- dill bagel sandwiches for breakfast).....
also i've noticed that my craps are really...i dunna, substantial like, i swear i felt like i crapped out a small child!
lol!!! Hilarious! I love this site!
another thing i noticed---when raw, drink PLENTY of water....cold water.. because ive noticed that when i dont, i get really bad cramps and headaches--- worse than when i would go without water with cooked foods. plus being dehydrated while raw, it makes you feel icky, and stopped up; and this may possibly be the primary cause in my constipation, gas, and other digestive issues. its almost like the toxins are getting released from my internal systems, but without water to flush them out, they're getting stopped up again. dont quote me on that; i can only speak from my experience... i'm not a doctor.
@ItVeganAtGenesis - you took the words right out of my mouth!!
I'd like to add something for you to think on. It's on topic, but not exactly answering your question. Please take it into consideration.
I question the wisdom of our acceptance of detox symptoms as a healthy thing. You see comments on many raw sites about it. I believe it goes back to our cultural belief (most likely uncounsciously) in the "no pain no gain" mentality. We feel we are doing something good for us because it hurts.
I wonder how wise this philosophy is?
Pain is usually a sign that we are doing something wrong. Usually adjusting our diet too quickly. Your body needs time to adjust to changes. Gradual changes tend to stick, as opposed to harsh changes that leave you feeling sick. Eating raw is suppose to make us feel better- not worse (imho). Please consider slowly adjusting your diet, if you are coming from a junkfood, high sugar, white flour kind of diet.
If you transition a bit more gradually, you will be able to actually listen to your body- instead of getting use to ignoring your body and writing everything off as detox. If your digestive tract isn't constantly in an uproar, if you do happen to try a veggie or fruit that doesn't agree with you, you'll actually notice it at the time and be able to make a healthy adjustment.
My scalp needs a shampoo more often now (as opposed to once every two weeks with conditioner washes in between)- which is odd for a black woman with dry, kinky hair. I have had to add tee tree oil and peppermint oil to my scalp. I think I'm going to switch to Giovanni's Tee Tree Shampoo and Conditioner (currently using Giovanni's Smooth As Silk)
I've googled it and found nothing. So I have to rely on the openness and honesty of everyone on the forum.
Okay people. Thanks for the experiences and comments and please keep them coming. The results on google are not this detailed and informative. I guess even health care professionals don't even want to get inot the truth about the things that could occur.
I'm conclusively high raw this week, after realizing that I have been really eating that way for the last week and a half. I am having these symptoms:
icky breath in the morning!
headaches that I usually associate with caffeine shortage, but I've been "off" coffee for a while only drinking it one or two times a week.
also I recently moved to a new place and I at first attributed my greasy hair to the new minerals in the water. My hair gets all greasy the day after washing it - I feel greasy going two days without washing which is ridiculous! Could this perhaps be a shift in diet? It has really only been two weeks of high raw. I am planning on making the shift to no-poo and am wondering as a woman with short, normal-to-oily wavy hair should do for the process?
All this to say - is the detox worth it? Has anyone made the transition to raw, gone through the funk, and come out loving the raw life? I'm sure some of you have.
Also - any shampoo/hair advice would be lovely.
dandi, i'm having the same problems with my hair...it's sickening, because my hair have never smelled unclean in my life! Today I had to add baking soda to my shampoo to really get it clean (I typically only shampoo once, but lately I"ve had to apply 'poo twice). I used Giovanni Smooth As Silk Conditioner after my 'poo but not the leave-in, because this extra oil is really irritating my scalp and causing flakes.
My hair is short-medium length, but I have afro textured, kinky-curly hair. I actually straightened my hair,( which I rarely do) to prevent over conditioning (adding oils) to my hair for at least this week. I really hope this works. I can't stand the smell.
With the gas, I learned to food combine and that has really helped out. Actually, I don't have gas anymore. I hope this helps.
I do think it's worth it, because it's only temporary

What is Bradbury's attitude toward Montag and his situation in the beginning of the novel Fahrenheit 451?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In the beginning, Bradbury does not seem to show much sympathy toward Montag. Part I is titled "It Was a Pleasure to Burn" and in the beginning of the section Montag seems to be enjoying his job as a fireman who burns books.
IT was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. (part 1)
When we find out Montag is a fireman who starts fires instead of putting them out, we are shocked. Bradbury cleverly sets us up to wonder what kind of person Montag is, and what is going on. We know that Bradbury detests Montag at this point.
Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame. (part 1)
Yet, by describing Montag in such detail, we also get inside his head and begin to understand him and see things from his point of view. Bradbury establishes Montag as a character we will come to appreciate.

Letters and Responses
Letter from Annamaria Grabowski about Protecting Animals - 10 Oct 2007
Dear Mary and Frank:
last night I thought about animal-protection etc. and asked myself, why it is so hard to win only some little terrain, a little fight.
Then I prayed as ever that the Lord would give me wisdom.
With my own possibilities, I feel as if I had come on the end.
For about 1 year I have been working on animal-problems.It is like I presumed: it is not a fight - it is a WAR
It is a war, dirty, jam-packed with cruelty and with absolutely no ethics or moral intentions
You could see what a vision is coming?It is the WAR of the END-TIME!
The utmost weak are in danger!
Abolition, Nazi, Holocaust, the killing of Millions, millions of Jewish People, the killing of millions, millions of babies, and: now: killing of millions, million of innocent calves, cows, pigs, horses,.......and at moment: killing of not "only" animals - but pets!
Pets - which are beloved, have care and a good environment.
This pets are driven on the streets, dogs and cats are not wild animals,
they are domesticated, they could't live alone, they follow the people....
even the people who beat them....Now:
pets in danger BECAUSE: they were:
sexual abused
eaten.... etc.
they are.: victims of utmost sadistic attacks
sliced..... etc.
Yesterday I got a call from Hungaria: Hungarian Government stops the supporting of animal-shelters. It is even so minimal:
One percent of the whole incoming of Hungarian people may be given to shelters. It is a form of taxe-minimizing.IT SEEMS THAT HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT WANTS TO MAKE THE COUNTRY FREE OF PETS!
The Lady who gave me that call told me, that the utmost number of shelters, all in private, poor hands, now do not have any support from government.
She has a shelter with about 600 dogs; she is not a hoarder!
And so are so many shelters in Hungaria.... left alone with n o t h i n g -
but with their lot of dogs.I'll send some photos to You from that shelter, I take care of, too.
The Hungarian Government spend lot of money for:
"Street-Cleaning-Programs" means:
Workers, who catch the dogs, bring them into killing-stations, and very often they have the order to kill them there.
Each dog has to stay for two weeks in the Station: Hungarian have panic before
S eu c h e n .... sickness, illness or similiar to ....
After this time the dogs would be killed - without grace.
Very, very often the workers of "Garbage-Places" - Deponien, these killing-stations are at the deponies, the garbage-places of a town or even little villages.
The little country Hungaria with 10 Mill. inhabitants has over 220 killing-stations
of this genre.
And the Hungarian government bear the heavy costs of this
totally sick, ill, crazy, irresponsible behaviour!
No, the path of ratio is left, still left for such a long time!THIS BEHAVIOUR SHOWS: THERE IS
You know who is the origin of this "DESIRE"?So, let us pray - because with our own human power we can reach nothing!
I shared this vision with You because You are believers....And we know:
All is possible for him, who believes ....God bless You:
I heard of so many visions given from Heaven -
but this vision is not delightful, not full of Angels
or Heavenly beings, it is a vision of sorror, pain,
cruelty. But we know as sure: the Lord is coming soon.
Reply from Frank and Mary Hoffman
Dear Annamaria:
We totally agree. We've been fighting the same problems, and believe that it is a spiritual war against the forces of evil.
We look forward to receiving the photos. Please send us a brief description of them so that we get the facts correct when we publish them.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary

Italian Literature
In his two short novels, Tra donne sole (Among Women Only [1949]) and La bella estate (The Beautiful Summer [1940]), Pavese portrays the life of the decadent, bohemian bourgeoisie of Turin in the 1930s. In the first of these, two of the numerous minor characters are revealed to have had a lesbian relationship, but its significance is trivialized as merely the result of boredom or emotional immaturity, the sign of the moral stagnation of their class. Similarly, in La bella estate, Amalia contracts syphilis after a sexual encounter with a female artist. Again the idea of a relationship between women is used simply to underline male political, sexual, and emotional impotence and the extent of moral apathy in a particular class. A more disturbing picture emerges in Pratolini's Cronache dei poveri amanti (A Tale of Poor Lovers [1947]), which offers a panoramic vision of the lives of the inhabitants of one Florentine street. These simple folk are dominated by the figure of the elderly, bedridden Signora, who controls the affairs of the street from her top floor apartment through a network of informants dependent on her in a number of ways. Beautiful in her youth, she exploited her charms to lead men to their destruction, but now she is grossly disfigured, and her physical deformity directly expresses her evil nature. Moreover, she forces her young female attendants to submit to her lascivious caresses. Pratolini makes explicit the parallel between her manipulation of those around her and the tyranny of Fascism. Physically and morally, she is likened to Mussolini. Fascism is a lesbian. There can be no greater condemnation. The theme of homosexuality and Fascism receives a different treatment by Giorgio Bassani in Gli occhiali d'oro (The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles [1958]). The novel is set in Ferrara during the 1930s and focuses on the disgrace of Athos Fadigati, a well-established doctor in the city. Fadigati is known to be homosexual yet initially his position--and especially his discretion--protects him from public disapproval. Finally, however, the Ferrarese bourgeoisie can no longer turn a blind eye once he begins to flaunt his relationship with a good-looking younger man by whom he is shamelessly exploited and humiliated. Public derision is compounded by the criminal behavior of his companion, and the story ends in Fadigati's suicide. The novel is told from the perspective of a young Jewish boy and becomes a kind of parable of the alienation of the formerly integrated Jewish community in Italy after the introduction of the Race Laws in 1938. Bassani adds a new dimension to the familiar topos that Italian homosexual relations have tended to follow the Greek intergenerational model. In Italy, the pedagogical rather than the erotic nature of relations between men of widely differing ages has often been stressed. The Poetry of Michelangelo This tension between purity of intent and carnal longing is at the heart of the poetry of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). The tension is worked out through the use of typical Petrarchan conceits such as the inaccessibility of the loved one and the idealization of physical beauty, or through characteristic imagery such as the icy fire. As a poet, Michelangelo is perhaps best known for the sonnets and madrigals inspired by Tommaso de' Cavalieri whom Michelangelo met in 1532 when Tommaso was twenty-three. Michelangelo's poetic innovation lies in his reworking of a set of conventions that previously had been employed solely to express heterosexual love. The innovation required only the alteration of pronouns revealing the gender of the beloved, but in doing so, the poet is able to make a personal statement within a rigidly coded poetic form. The conventional nature of his poetry is indicated when later he deploys similar imagery and conceits to address Vittoria Colonna, a female poet whom he greatly admired. James Saslow in his book The Poetry of Michelangelo notes that the Petrarchan tradition provided Michelangelo with a ready framework in terms of which to express his unrequited love. In addition, a form so dependent on the structure of paradox could well convey the poet's own apparent anxiety toward homosexual feelings and the extent to which they came into conflict with his Christian faith. The Acceptance of Homosexuality in the Renaissance It should not be supposed, however, that the anguished tone of Michelangelo's lyric poetry exhausts the ways in which homosexual desire was experienced in the Italian Renaissance. Other writers offer a more accepting view of the place of homosexuality in society. Pietro Aretino's play Il marescalco (The Stablemaster) is a case in point. First produced in 1533 for the court of Mantua, which provided a haven for Aretino after he had encountered problems with the official censors in the less liberal Papal States, the play has as its central character a man whose erotic preferences are unambiguously homosexual. That this preference is a definite aspect of his personality rather than simply a vice among others is clear.

Measuring quantities using oscillators and pulse generators
- Maciej Komosinski
- … show all 1 hide
This article presents properties of the clock–counter model with a periodic generator employed as the source of regularly emitted pulses. The pacemaker and accumulator mechanisms are often considered in research in neurobiology and cognitive science: neurons or their groups serve as oscillators, and the number of spikes emitted while a stimulus lasts becomes an estimate of the length of the stimulus. The article integrates three approaches: a theoretical model to present the general concept, a working implementation of this model to perform intensive simulation experiments, and the analytical description of the behavior of the model. Oscillators that exhibit some degree of regularity have been compared to the Poisson ones, and the corresponding probability distributions have been presented that describe the number of pulses accumulated over time. Several continuous and discrete interpulse distributions have been investigated, and the influence of generator parameters on the possible outcomes of the measurement have been described. Particular attention has been paid to the relationship between measurement variability and the mean number of pulses observed. Issues concerning practical realizations of periodic generators: discrete time, dependence of the generator start time on the stimulus, and relation to Weber's law have been discussed as well.

"The march of the human mind is slow"
Edmund Burke
"The human mind is a funny thing. One day it is your best friend and the next, it is your horrible adversary."
Enrique Vega
"The human mind is a funny thing. One day it is your best friend and the next, it is your worst enemy."
"Torment ensues the almost conquered man, who shares the regions of his mind, with two warring rivals. Where one enjoys the comforts of soothing light, the other is in disarray; needing total darkness, to remain unseen."
"Truly knowing God through the mere glimpses of His hand in the beautiful complexities of His creation, seeing the purest of loving hope in the eyes of His beloved, and walking each day being upheld by His ever-present mercy and grace, is so much more than the human mind can fathom. Faith is all that can even begin to comprehend such a love."
Joey Talladino
"Science – the human mind's war with herself – the unknown."
Mariana Fulger
"The only limitations in your existence are the ones you create in your own mind, the invisible barriers we create in our psyche that tell us to stay in and watch T.V rather than run or remain silent when we have an opinion to express and the truth is it's easy to break down these barriers they may impede you but they cannot stop you when you decide enough is enough, It's time to really live."

This is one of my favorite themes from the Sonic series, so I just wanted to make a version of it myself. I tried to keep the same flow that the song originally has. I hope you like it!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It makes you calm.Its very relaxing.I whould have liked the song better if it was a bit more happy.Stil nice though. Just not my kind of music.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
for the love of all...
this remix is just awesome...i cant say it with much other words...
amazing, kinda calm, you made it awesome
Rated 5 / 5 stars
WOW im impresed.
This is very good. It has a good mix of the original with your own added twist for the remix. And a very good mix at that. This is very good and you dont try to over do it like some others do, you stay to its original roots.
Very good I hope to see more stuff like this in the future. Good job =)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Superb song
This is definitely the best theme in sonic 3, and your version sounds even better than the original!
