Mizani Rose H20 is an enriched hairdress containing natural oils and botanical extracts formulated to replenish moisture to dry, dull hair and scalp.
Dec 24, 2014
I Love This Stuff!
Mizani's Rose H2O is an excellent product. It keeps my hair and scalp moist and healthy. My hair is thick and course, relaxed as well as color-treated. It tends to dry easily. I can totally tell the difference when using another moisturizer. I haven't experienced a product like Rose H2O in years. I recommend it to others often.

British Prime Minister Proposes Plan to Slow Growth, Raise Unemployment
Tuesday, 08 June 2010 04:38
The NYT
on a speech by UK Prime Minister David Cameron in which he insisted on the need for large budget cuts and/or tax increases. The article included no assessment of this agenda from economists. Many prominent economists, such as Nobel Laureates Paul Krugman and Joe Stiglitz, have argued that deficit reduction in the near future will lead to higher unemployment and slower growth. Unlike the vast majority of proponents of fiscal austerity, these economists were able to see the $8 trillion housing bubble that wrecked the U.S. economy.

It's been so long, My heart grew strong I walked through all that has been wrong; With passion, yet so passionessly My thoughts stand viciously Against the world's brutality: Devided world waits for touch of Unity, Time travels in a rush Upon my daily quest. Hopefully,I am done by then When my time meets my destiny.

Although olfactory communication in great apes received minor attention during the past, recent studies showed that the olfactory sense might be more important than previously thought. Not only do apes use their sense of smell to examine their environment, for example to inspect food items, but they do also investigate traces of their conspecifics, like chimpanzees during boundary patrols, when they sniff at vegetation or the ground where other animals passed by. I am interested in the signals potentially transmitted through body odour. Therefore, I developed a method to sample body odour of great apes non-invasively and to analyse those samples via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. During this project I want to investigate if (i) chimpanzees possess an olfactory fingerprint i.e., the individual odour signature is stable over time and if (ii) chimpanzees can discriminate between the odours of individual chimpanzees and if so I expect (iii) that individuals which are closely related have more similar olfactory profiles than non-related individuals. This way they could communicate relatedness potentially in the context of mate choice or affiliation.
My study is conducted at the Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Center in the Leipzig Zoo, Germany.

Diary of a distressed property investor, Part I
It was a quick sale, and I fell for it. I bought the property. Now I've got the fourth installment staring me in the face and no financing. Now what?
December 24, 2008 9:42 by Dana El Baltaji
We know property investors are struggling, and for the most part, we know why. But what most us don't know are the everyday struggles they're going through. One investor agreed to write a journal of her experiences for Kipp. We asked her to be ruthless: she obliged.
We've withheld her name for legal reasons.
I've been living in Dubai for over five years. I already own a property here, and its value has sky-rocketed over the years. So I wanted another one. I was being greedy, I know, but if I didn't want to make money fast, I wouldn't have moved to Dubai in the first place.
So I met with a property consultant from Remax Associates in April 2008. She told me all about flipping. She showed me a property that, she said, would flip easily.
She explained that the developer (which I won't name. I'll explain why later) has an escrow account, and that they offer home loans through an Islamic bank. She then leaned over and said the magic words: "There's one apartment left. I have another client who's interested in it, but I want you to have it. But I can't hold it for you unless you pay the booking fee. It's only AED10,000. Then keep the property for a month or two and sell it."
And that was it. I was sold. I wanted to flip a property and make a little money. I had done it before, and I was ready to do it again.
As soon as I booked it, and as soon as I paid the first installment, the property consultant advised that I wait until after the summer to put the property up for sale. She said that the summer is a bad time to sell, and that as soon as everyone is back from their vacations, there'd be a buying frenzy. So I waited.

Serves you right , for being so greedy ! poeple from europe with flip flops come here and get rich and start living a tycoon life with endless partying ,,,this can never happen anywhere else and anyone with minimal amount of economic knowledge knows that he should not have a liability outweighing his net worth an at such an incredible difference .
Try asking for your money back from the developer and cancelling the sale ? or are you still out to make money flipping ?
Forget flippers; I have bought into one of the nicest apartments and can afford to make all my payments. But what is the point if the government takes away my freehold visa status? Surely they must be accountable.u cannot offer investors a certain right then turn around and say "well actually…" Also you cannot expect people to invest in your country as end users only; its an investment. A home is the single largest investment you will ever make. Are they expecting us to buy their apartments live here and if and when we leave get less than we paid for it? And if the laws change to my detriment what is the point; i am much happier back home thank you very much! atleast i have rights back home!
You should have known your rights before plunging into the great property rush. Its very unwise to make business what like others do.
Always remember, a person fails when he does business by looking at others, he would never fail when he does something of his own. -
It's difficult to feel any sympathy when the writers actions, of her own admission, were driven by greed.
The property market in Dubai has enjoyed meteoric growth which was clearly unsustainable even without the global economic woes which are currently prevailing.
The (unwritten) small print here is values can go down as well as up, and if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
While I sympathise with you, you remain a victim of your own creation. Flippers like you bloated the market and created Dubai into an arena of greed. This whole thing has not only affected the property business, it has affected the lives of people who never invested and were simple workers around town.
God has his ways of balancing things and this is an example of it! -
The Higher you climb the bigger the fall
Bad luck the timing went wrong you should talk to the developer and ask him if he can move your money to property which will be ready soon so that you can rent it.
How can anyone sympathize with such " investors"…Indeed as Austin says markets can go up and down. And the distressed investor had no plans at all to use the property for what its meant for : living in it. So it was purchased for only one purpose : speculation. And any speculator knows that one can win and loose, this has nothing to do with Dubai, its a worldwide truth. Its time for all the parasitic speculators in this country to take one-way tickets, leave their Lamborghinis, bought with financing they now cant pay off, at DXB longterm parking lot with keys inside, so normal working and producing residents can breath again.
And compliments to the developers who managed to sell a drawing on a piece of paper for hard money. -
I have a suggestion for you, after discussing your rights, which are not going to the same as the developers obligations, with your lawyer, take him to the developer or better still send a notice through the lawyer stating a date by which you are willing to wait for a concrete answer in writing, after which you would take legal action, believe me all the developers have enough problems to deal with right now, they will cut you a deal.
Better than sitting and doing nothing

If this is your prime criteria for a name, forget name style (though many of these are stylish) and focus on names that convey the cool guy image.
Cool Midcentury Baby Names
Midcentury houses are in, midcentury furniture is in, so why not midcentury baby names? Maybe because too many of them feel like the dowdy, overplayed Baby Boomer names just heading into retirement and not due back in style for another generation or two.

Geezer Names for Girls
Blame it on Sidney. This name, which conjures up images of thick glasses, a snowfall of dandruff on shoulders, and plaid polyester pants pulled up to the sternum, sounds (strangely enough) nothing less than charming, nothing short of cool when applied to a little girl. And so too can the other geezer names here. Caution: Most of these names should not be bestowed on a boy. The world is not yet ready for another generation of male Seymours and Sheldons, although keep in mind that among the hottest boys' names in the UK now are Harvey and Leon.

Midcentury Baby Names

Wait a generation or two, and given the hundred year rule, you might look for these midcentury names to make a comeback as baby names in the 2040s and 2050s.
Names No Boy May Be Cool Enough For
You have to be pretty damn cool to name your kid Elmer, cool in that I-like-it-and-I-don't-care-what-the-world-thinks kind of way. Except you're not the one who's going to have to deal with having the name Elmer when you play Little League. You're not the one who's going to have to introduce yourself as Elmer to girls at parties. In fact, if you think it's so cool, maybe you should change your own name to Elmer rather than laying it on a poor little kid. The point: While we can appreciate the contrarian cool inherent in these clunky names, we fear that few children at this point in time are cool enough actually to live with them.
Names No Girl May Be Cool Enough For
You have to be pretty darn cool to name your kid Hortense, cool in that I-like-it-and-I-don't-care-what-the-world-thinks kind of way. Except you're not the one who's going to have to deal with having the name Hortense when you play soccer. You're not the one who's going to have to introduce yourself as Hortense to boys at parties. In fact, if you think it's so cool, maybe you should change your own name to Hortense rather than laying it on a poor little kid. The point: While we can appreciate the contrarian cool inherent in these clunky names, we fear that few children at this point in time are cool enough actually to live with them.
Names with Animal Meanings
Animal baby names, a subset of the ever-more-popular nature names, sometimes come out and state themselves clearly -- Fox, Lark -- and sometimes are only revealed via their root meaning. This list of animal baby names contains both types. Also note: We're light on bird names since we include the complete variety in their own list.
New Baby Names on the Rise
These are baby names that have only started to be heard in recent years, but are rising through baby names popularity lists and we predict will be used more frequently in the future.
New Year's Baby Names
The start of a new year brings with it a sense of fresh beginnings, a new dawn dawning, and hopes for the future. Here are some baby names from various cultures whose meanings reflect those feelings, especially appropriate for a baby born near the start of a new year.
Offbeat Baby Names
Offbeat baby names are those that are just a little bit quirky, a tiny bit unusual, off the beaten track. Here are some offbeat baby names you might want to consider today.
Old Lady Names
Old lady names are cool by virtue of their very disdain for fashion. If you're interested in the baby names on this list, check out our blog on old lady names for more commentary and ideas.
Old Man Names
Old man names like Max and Sam and Henry have been used for babies for so long now that they no longer sound like old man names. But don't worry, there are plenty more where those came from. To qualify as a cool old man name, a name has to feel both classic and slightly moth-eaten, like the perfect vintage suit.
Old People Names
Old people names -- or rather, #oldpeoplenames -- is a Twitter phenomenon, whereby people contribute their ideas of which baby names are, you guessed it, old people names. Some of the ideas that pop up on Twitter, from Marvin to Myrtle, are good ones, while others miss the mark. True old people names still carry the whiff of the nursing home, even if they're newly considered fit for babies.
Here, the names we consider Old People Names.
Patriotic Baby Names
Baby names with a patriotic flavor honor the land of the free and the home of the brave. Whether you're having a fourth of July baby, or you're just a proud American, here is a list of patriotic baby names sure to pay tribute to America.
Pixar Baby Names
Pixar has a knack for developing characters you can't help but love, Mike Wazowski anyone? Not only does Pixar create some unforgettable characters, but Pixar names can be lovable as baby names too! Here's a list of some of the more interesting character names from Pixar films:
Pretty Girl Names
Pretty girl names are pretty -- attractive, feminine, sometimes frilly -- in themselves. They also conjure the image of a pretty girl. And some of these names literally mean pretty or beautiful.

Why did you choose this product?
This chandelier came out amazing! The crystals bounce off light gorgeously. Some of the crystals had some scratches but you can't tell once it's hung. Putting the light bulb in is real tricky since the bulb is flat and you cant really screw it into place. Other than that, the light is perfect. We have it hung above the sink in out kitchen. If i could, I would order a hundred more of these. Great value and amazing style

Had to rework it The crystals are nice quality and hanging arrangement is beautiful. Instructions are horrible! The base around the wiring is perforated metal, so when you turn on the lights, you can see the wiring. We had to line it with a sheet of aluminum.

Not how it looks to me I thought these globes looked big in the picture. Expected orange size globes but they are smaller than a golf ball. Can't return because outside the timeframe. Guess I should shop in a store where I can see the item in person instead. If you want little crystals not large glass globes it's probably fine.

Okay for price I rated "good" because of the price, most lights in this style are significantly more expensive - It's pretty when it's hung up, but like most customers I was missing 6 pieces! I will say, called and they said no problem, will ship parts out today - but a little annoying when you are paying an electrician to install and not all parts are here. Also - the top has a VERY modern look, like a perforated metal. And mine was WHITE not metallic. All in all it's okay, but if I had seen it in person I probably would have picked something else . (Selected for pre-teen bedroom makeover). Thanks

Beautiful Bathroom Fixture Great bathroom chandelier. The crystals are very clear and well made. The base is modern looking and reflects the light nicely. I was concerned about the base being a few inches thick but it blends right into the ceiling and your eyes are drawn to the crystals and not the base.

Beautiful light fixture! I had seen the same exact fixture at a Lighting store for almost $300! I went ahead and purchased the lamp on a trial basis from that same store ,when I returned home I went overstock.com and found this exact chandelier for an amazing price . Incredible . The chandelier is ultra modern and adds a lot of sparkle and elegance in the hallway where we hung it, a conversation starter. Would recommend highly.

Questions & Answers
for my salon
I received this fixture today and there are no strings included for hanging. Very disappointing. Also, one of the crystals is scratched. Please advise.
Hello hudman39, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Thank you for your answer. However, I was stating that I can see through the mesh and all the wiring is showing. I do not feel that the wattage of the bulb can help. Is there anyway to cover the mesh so that I do not see the wiring. Thank you.
Hello charlie158, no, there isn't a way to cover the mesh, as placing a cover around it may cause a fire or other such hazard. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
This is my second request, I need to know how I can make the bulbs in the mesh top less visible?
Hello charlie158, if i understand your question correctly you are wanting to know how to dim the light more in the mesh top. I would recommend to get a lower wattage bulb or a dimmer bulb and it should dim it in the mesh top. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us again, thanks for shopping with us!
I just received this chandelier and while I loved the picture, I have no idea how to put it together- there are no strings or anything to hang the crystals on. How can I put this together with just small metal bobby pin type pins and small circles? When I zoom in on the picture, I feel like I am missing something from my package. Thanks.
Hello olivetalik, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
if is waterpoof, can it be used inside the shower
Hello, raquel31. This chandelier is not recommended for a bathroom. Thanks for shopping with us! l.b.
I bought this light five months ago. The lightbulb burnt out. I am having a hard time removing the lightbulb to change it out. Any advice?
Hello ocfoodie, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Can the length be shortened & customized?
Thank you for your question overserved. The length can not be shortened and/or customized. The lamp will not look nice if the length changes. Have a great day.
I shortened mine. It took a while and you need to measure a few times to make sure it is perfect before you cut! What I did was lay all of the same length strands out together so I could adjust each set so they were the same still. For example, I shortened all one inch. Then I had to use beading pliers to adjust the little crystals but moving the little metal pieces they rest on. I'm sure this voids any warrante, but for me it was worth it. I needed it to clear the bathroom door and now it does. It looks perfect!
I bought this light and there were no instructions on how to put the crystals on. Are the instructions available and can they be e mailed??
Hello cniehues, Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
The dimensions state it is 24 inches tall and the ceiling cap is 3 inches. Does that mean the light will hang down 21 inches from the ceiling or is it the 24 inches?
Hello cniehues, The light is 24 inches in length. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com, let us know if you have any additional questions.
Can this fit into recessed lighting conversion kit?
Hello luanne1956! I love this chandelier! Unfortunately, this fixture can't fit into a recessed lighting conversion kit. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.
Can this fixture fit inside recessed (can) existing light?
Hello kkgg! This chandelier is beautiful! Unfortunately, this fixture can't fit inside a recessed existing light. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.
can we use an LED bulb instead?
Hello kiten, Yes you could use a LED light bulb with this. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can I mount this chandelier on an angled ceiling?
Thank you for contacting us, unfortunately no this chandelier can not be mounted on an angled ceiling. Please let me know if you have any further question.
Is this light fixture waterproof? Can it be hung above a garden tub?
This chandelier is waterproof, but it is designed to be used indoors.

Welcome to The Public Mind, an occasional forum in which Orange County Register readers give us their thoughts on a variety of science topics, including flying cars, artificial intelligence and robots.
Last month, you offered some fascinating suggestions for building an underwater city off Orange County. This time, we asked you: If you could conjure up your own personal robot, what abilities would you give it? And what would the robot look like?
We posed the questions because scientists are making significant progress in all areas of robotics. For example, in Arkansas, a robot largely made up of two video cameras has joined the hunt for the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker. UC Berkeley has created a robot that sprints like a cockroach and another that climbs walls gecko-style. And in Japan, scientists have built an android that strongly resembles a human woman.
Here's a sample of the ideas you have for robots. The boldface type indicates aspects of readers' ideas that are captured in the illustration by staff artist Amy Ning.
My robot would look like a bully and wear a skullso that I could take him to school to protect me from mean kids. At home, he would build anything I need with my Legos when I get stuck. He would be really fast at making castles, cars and airplanes.
I'm allergic to dogs and cats so a robot pet would be kind of ideal. The robot would be soft and cuddly so all the metal would be covered with fur. I'd be able to sit and listen to TV while petting it because petting is a soothing gesture. I live alone and when I don't have a relative or somebody around, a mess-less pet would be nice.
Inside my robot's body would be a snack vending machinethat could give me any snacks I ever wanted.
The fingers would have different types of sprays like Inspector Gadget's fingers. One spray could turn food that I don't like into things that taste better. Spinach could taste like chocolate! It would be cool to have a spray that makes me invisible, too. I also need a finger that sprays out hot super glue so that it can put things that I break back together.
My robot would be made out of all my favorite candies. When I eat those parts they would grow back immediately. The eyes would be jelly beans, the nose would be Jolly Ranchers, and the body would be made out of chocolate. The legs and arms would be taffy and the hands would be a hook made with a peppermint candy cane.
The robot would have a keyboard so that I could type in recipes and it would go grocery shoppingand cook meals for me. Or I could just tell it what I want cooked and it'd be able to search online and look for recipes.

No Love Lost

MISSION No Love Lost | |
Niko confronts Jason.
| |
Game: | Grand Theft Auto IV |
For: | Mikhail Faustin |
Location: | Faustin's Mansion, Beachgate |
Target: | Jason Michaels |
Conditions of mission failure: | |
Wasted Busted Jason gets away Anna dies | |
Reward(s): | |
$500 | |
Unlocks: | Rigged to Blow |
Unlocked by: | Final Destination |
- "Tell my father I can see whoever I like!"
- ― Anna Faustin
No Love Lost is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by Russian Mafia boss Mikhail Faustin. He asks Niko to kill his daughter's boyfriend.
[show]Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Firefly Island.
- Chase Jason.
- Kill Jason.
- If necessary, chase and kill all Lost bikers.
Drive to a building at the Firefly Island funfair where the couple are talking. Anna's boyfriend will flee on a Zombie motorcycle; chase him on the PCJ-600 nearby and open fire. Alternatively, use any fast vehicle that you can reach quickly. The game will instruct you in how to fire from a vehicle. Try to kill him before he meets his gang. If necessary, follow the gang off road and take cover behind a tree. Use a Micro-SMG to kill the gang, preferably at range. Once they are eliminated, the mission is passed. This mission is an easy opportunity to gain ammunition, as the bikers will drop their weapons once they are killed. The bikers all use either Pistols or Micro-SMG's, while Jason wields a Pump Shotgun.
Video Walkthrough
- Traffic during the chase is scripted (as in numerous other missions in the game), and as such, the vehicles seen are not random: a Declasse Taxi, a Cabby (unusual in Broker) and two parked Esperantos in Crockett Avenue, three Blista Compacts, two Primos, three Ferocis (one will keep pulling the brakes in front of you), a Declasse Taxi, a Premier (which will attempt to cut you off by speeding, crashing into a Blista Compact, and landing right in front of your motorcycle) and a Chavos on the Broker-Dukes Expressway; a Cabby, a Taxi, two Chavoses, and a Blista Compact (plus a Bobcat, a Feroci and two Vigeros parked) in Titulo Avenue; a Cabby and two Bobcats in Carson Street; a Taxi, a Blista Compact and a Feroci in Stillwater Avenue; a Blista Compact (which will attempt to cut you off by speeding through an intersection) in Savannah Avenue; two Taxis, a Feroci, a Cabby and a parked Bobcat in Seymour Avenue; and another Cabby, with a parked Bobcat, Feroci and Vigero, in Parr Street.
- If you fail and retry this mission a number of times, most of the scripted traffic will disappear. Whether a glitch or not, this is extremely helpful as there is no need to dodge other vehicles.
- It is possible to kill Anna Faustin before going after Jason, although doing so will fail the mission. In a subsequent telephone dialogue, Niko sheepishly allows Mikhail to assume that it was the biker's fault.
- Shooting Jason at Funland will cause Anna to scream that Jason is nice and that she hates her father.
- While chasing the biker, he might say "My boy Johnny's gonna fuck you up!", referring to Johnny Klebitz.
- Despite the fact that Niko is responsible for Jason's death, the Lost MC blame the Angels of Death for the murder and burn down the AOD clubhouse and steal their heroin. However, it is Billy Grey who informs them of this, simply because of his desire to start a war between the two gangs.
- If you kill Anna Faustin at the start of the mission, and fail it, Jason will be invincible. He will not suffer any damage at all, and will only get off the bike if it was on fire.
- It's necessary kills Jason to complete this mission. If he simply incapacitated, he will keep lie on ground and shouting until gives him one more hit to kills him.

Instead of having a set of active workqueue lwps waiting to service sockets, the kernel should use the lwp that is blocked on the socket to service the workitem. It is not productive being blocked and it has an interest in getting that workitem done, and maybe we can directly copy that data to user's address and avoid queuing in the socket at all.

94 F.3d 651
Shirzadi KASHNNEJAD, Petitioner-Appellant,
Michael T. PICKETT, Warden; James Gomez; Attorney General
for the State of California, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 95-16751.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Aug. 12, 1996.*
Decided Aug. 16, 1996.
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
Before: BROWNING, SCHROEDER, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
Shirzadi Kashnnejad appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We review de novo a district court's decision on a section 2254 petition. Duckett v. Godinez, 67 F.3d 734, 739 (9th Cir.1995), cert. denied, 116 S.Ct. 1549 (1996). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Kashnnejad contends that the district court erred by dismissing his section 2254 petition on exhaustion grounds because he presented his claims to the California Supreme Court. We disagree.
Generally, a federal court will consider the merits of a state prisoner's habeas corpus petition only after the prisoner has exhausted all available state remedies. See Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 515 (1982); Crotts v. Smith, 73 F.3d 861, 865 (9th Cir.1996). If state remedies have not been exhausted, the district court may dismiss the petition. Rose at 510. The exhaustion requirement is not satisfied when the petitioner's claims are presented in a procedurally deficient manner. Castille v. Peoples, 489 U.S. 346, 351 (1989). Exhaustion requires that the petitioner's claims be fairly presented to provide the state courts with an opportunity to rule on the merits of the claims. McQuoun v. McCartney, 795 F.2d 807, 809 (9th Cir.1986).
Here, Kashnnejad raised a due process and equal protection claim in his habeas petition to the district court. However, the record demonstrates that the California Supreme Court declined to reach the merits of Kashnnejad's claims because he failed to comply with California procedural requirements. See McQuoun, 795 F.2d at 809. Because it appears that Kashnnejad still has available state remedies, the district court properly dismissed Kashnnejad's section 2254 petition on exhaustion grounds. See Castille, 489 U.S. at 351; Rose, 455 U.S. at 515.
Because we affirm the dismissal of the petition under the former version of 28 U.S.C. § 2254, we do not consider whether the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 applies to this appeal.

Welcome to Bhutan
If there is a heaven on Earth? It is this, it truly is. 'Land of the Thunder Dragon'.
Hidden away in the Himalayas Bhutan and its people have largely lived a life of isolation from the rest of the world. The Bhutanese have succeeded in maintaining their cultural and spiritual heritage and belief that they live in the last Shangri-La by strictly limiting the number of tourists to the Kingdom to a maximum of 5000 a year. Western values have little or no impact. There in this land of culture and extreme charm which exudes a special feeling of serenity. The people are intensely religious, much in evidence here, even in urban centres the spinning of prayer wheels the murmur of mantras and the glow of butter lamps are still important features of daily life. Monasteries temples and religious monuments are dotted across the landscape bearing witness to the importance of Buddhism, while red robed monks, young and old, are everywhere mingling freely in towns and village markets.
Watch allnepal in youtube.comBhutan boasts a wealth of Bio Diversity with almost three quarters of its land area covered by forests, it has been declared amongst the ten most prominent areas for environmental protection in the world. Its rich Himalayan flora and fauna, dazzling snow capped peaks, lush valleys and unbelievably beautiful rural landscapes will leave all but the very hardened asking : That if there is a heaven on Earth? The Land of the Thunder Dragon it probably is. Select the topics from the left menu bar or click here to continue the Tours in Bhutan.

The Crocodile Trophy will return to its home in Tropical Far North Queensland on October 20 with the largest field of participants ever and with a bang by paying tribute to the Aussie way of mountain bike endurance racing on singletrack.
For the first time, the former World Cup trails at Smithfield in Cairns will be included for stage 1 of the Crocodile Trophy. Furthermore, the 30km lap race on the technically challenging terrain will allow local Australian riders to race with the International Crocodile Trophy crowd. Likewise, the 92km marathon stage 2 from Cairns to Lake Tinaroo will be open for any rider to join in.
Who's coming
The Crocodile Trophy is known by many as the hardest, longest and most adventurous mountain bike stage race in the world. This year, the number of participants has almost doubled and more than 150 riders have already signed up.
Among the international field of competitors are high-profile names including last year's podium getters, marathon champion Wolfgang Krenn and fellow Austrian road hill climb champion Josef Benedseder as well as Ondrej Fojtik, the Czech Crocodile Trophy winner from 2008 and runner-up in 2004 and 2007. Canadian marathon racer and Mongolia Bike Challenge winner Cory Wallace will also be at the start line alongside Spaniard and Red Bull racer Josef Ajram and Austrian road talent Patrick Konrad.
In 2011, many Australian and New Zealand racers participated in the Crocodile Trophy. They raced hard and finished with a win in the masters and a fourth place in the overall classification by Graeme Arnott and a further five Australians in the top 20. For this year, the biggest ever field of Australian Crocodile Trophy racers is expected to participate. Australians include Jason English, Australian 24-hour Solo World Champion and Justin Morris, best elite Australian finisher at the Crocodile Trophy 2011.
Organisers are excited about the largest ever women's field at a Crocodile Trophy - seven female racers will be at the start line in Cairns, including Australian triathlete and Ironman racer Kate Major.
For 2012, the Crocodile Trophy is introducing a two-person category.
Adventure in the Australian Outback
After the previously mentioned Smithfield stage 2, the following eight days will challenge the technical skills of participants more than ever before. Generally, the stages will be shorter, but they will include considerably more mountain bike tracks this year. Overall, the participants will ride for almost 1000km with the longest stage covering 136km and they are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
Each night, camp will be set up in mining towns and at cattle stations in some of the most remote parts of the Australian Outback. It is a tough event that goes over nine stages. Race finishers say that the pace is fast and the competition fierce. The race track takes them over corrugated fire trails, through river crossings, down technical descents and through the forbidding landscape of rocky service roads without an inch of shade. And then there is the scenery - dark red sand, vegetation ranging from barren bush to lush rainforest.
The Outback will continue to be centre-stage also in 2012 with camps at the cattle stations of Mt. Mulligan, Mitchell and Palmer River. The seventh stage will take the riders to Maytown. Once a big gold mining centre, this Outback town will also be the focus of world-wide attention three weeks after the Crocodile Trophy makes its stop there this year. Maytown has been identified as the best place to watch the Solar Eclipse on November 14 with more than 10,000 people expected spectators.
Many sections of the infamous Bicentennial National Trail will this year also be part of the stage plan of the endurance race in the Australian Outback. And after a 10-year break, the legendary stage through the Quinkan Aboriginal Reserver from Maytown to Laura will be revived and included in this year's Croc Trophy.
A crowd of 300 athletes, supporters and organisational crew will arrive at the finish line in Cooktown on October 28. And after nine days in the Outback, Grassy Hill in Cooktown, the spectacular landing site of the legendary Captain Cook, will once again be the riders' final destination and one of the most magnificent and rewarding highlights of the Crocodile Trophy 2012.

Recent Developments in LC Column Technology
This month we complete a list of questions about gases that began in an earlier installment.
Clarification on Sealing Tape
More Questions That Should Be Asked Frequently
Here are the remaining questions on my list regarding gases and gas delivery for GC. As before, these questions do not address questions about the gases after they reach the GC system. Therein lie even more questions that also should be asked frequently.
What Types of Filters Should Gas Chromatographers Use?
For example, if using a split–splitless inlet with a wide-bore porous-layer open-tubular (PLOT) column and thermal conductivity detection (TCD), the TCD makeup gas — which has a less strict purity requirement — would be subsumed to the carrier gas due to its higher purity specification. A separate makeup gas supply is not required with TCD; makeup gas can be pulled from the higher-purity carrier-gas supply. An electron-capture detector with a split–splitless inlet, capillary columns, and hydrogen carrier gas would require at least 99.9995% carrier gas and multiple high-purity carrier-gas filters, plus a separate supply of 99.9995% impurity-free nitrogen or argon plus 5% methane ionization gas with its own set of high-purity gas filters.
In general, most chromatographers will simply install the highest level of filtration and use the highest gas purities that apply to all in-use or anticipated combinations of inlet, column, and detector on a particular instrument population.
When Should I Change or Replace My Gas Filters?
Gas filters for GC either include an end-of-life indicator or they are specified to purify a set gas volume. The indicating types are more efficient, in the sense that they don't need to be changed until they indicate the approach of exhaustion. A nonindicating filter that expires after some number of tanks of gas must be changed at that point, whether truly exhausted or not. A nonindicating filter also creates the extra burden of noting for each filter how many tanks of gas have gone through it — assuming of course that it will purify more than one tank. Nonindicating filters usually will include a specification for just how contaminated the incoming gas can be to meet the filter lifetime specification. However, feeding less-contaminated gas — as printed on the gas tank analysis — cannot be assumed to yield a longer filter lifetime. The filter is supposed to remove extra contamination that may be entrained into the gas and not improve on the purity of the gas that is in the tank.

Out looking for a couch, we swung by the neighboring Bang & Olufsen whilst percolating our seating options. And, boy, were we wooed by B&O's relatively new BeoPlay A3. Labeling this product an iPad "dock" doesn't do it justice — not to mention, we hear the dock is dead. This BeoPlay is basically a speaker chasis for your iPad, that kindly integrates a 6-hour rechargeable battery. While B&O is quick to point out the audio quality (3 tweeters, 1 woofer) of this device, being shallow, I'm most impressed by its good looks… with flush tablet fit and multiple display orientations/positions. The A3 ships with two iPad sleeves (to account for all three iPad generations) and, when mated with a tablet, easily pops out of the device using the B&O button on the rear. This would make the most killer kitchen TV. But I'd prefer a few more color options. And perhaps a lower price of entry… At $549, it's more costly than many iPads it would encase. No one said looking good is economical.

General Education Diploma Information
The General Educational Development (GED) credential, sometimes referred to as the General Education Diploma, is earned by passing a series of high school-level tests in reading and writing, social studies, science and math. In most states, students must be at least 17 years old to take the GED; however, some states allow 16-year-olds to attempt the tests.
What is the General Education Diploma?
The GED is a program of the American Council on Education (ACE), which is the sole developer of the tests. The GED began in 1942, and since then, more than 18 million people have earned their GED credentials, according to ACE (www.acenet.edu).
The GED essentially is offered as an alternative to a high school diploma for students who, for whatever reason, have not graduated from high school. It's available in all 50 states and accepted by 98% of colleges nationwide.
To pass the GED, students must receive an average score of 500 out of a possible 800 points, with no single subject test score dipping below 410. Some states may have slightly different score requirements. The test is split into the following five sections:
Language Arts: Reading
The student's ability to interpret academic and workplace reading selections is measured through this section. The multiple-choice test consists of 75% literature selections, like poetry and drama, and 25% nonfiction. Students are graded on the areas of analysis, comprehension, application and synthesis.
Language Arts: Writing
The first section of this test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, which must be completed in 75 minutes. The second section requires an essay, for which 45 minutes is allowed. The multiple-choice questions test the student's skills in correct word usage and mechanics, such as punctuation and capitalization. The essay judges the student's ability to write an explanatory or informational piece using correct grammar rules.
Social Studies
Students have 70 minutes to complete the 50 multiple-choice questions in this section. This exam tests the student's skills to interpret geographic, economic, historical and civic concepts and principles through writing and visual academic concepts.
Like the social studies section, the science exam tests the student's ability to understand and interpret scientific information provided to him or her. Physics, chemistry, Earth and space science are included in this test.
Students may use a calculator to complete the first part of this two-part, 50-question test, which is allotted 45 minutes for each part. This test measures the student's reasoning and analytical skills using numbers, charts, word problems and diagrams. Content includes number operations and sense, geometry, data analysis, statistics, probability, algebra, patterns and functions. Mental math knowledge is tested in the second part.

The Story
Luscious small-batch caramels are handcrafted with real cream and butter, then drenched in decadent dark chocolate and dusted with a pinch of crunchy sea salt. The family-owned Long Grove Confectionery has a long history of creating fine chocolates and other sweet treats with premium ingredients.
