JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, May 19, 2010, that on May 12, 2010, Michael J. Fitzpatrick, a resident of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Johnstown on a charge of possessing child pornography.
The one-count indictment, unsealed today, named Fitzpatrick, age 52, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment presented to the court, on December 8, 2009, Fitzpatrick knowingly possessed pictures and videos in individual computer graphic files which were produced using minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The computer graphic files were shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
Assistant United States Attorney John J. Valkovci, Jr., who presented the case to the grand jury, indicated that the law provides for a maximum total sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
This case is being brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. Launched in February 2006, Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (Laurel Highlands Resident Agency) and the Pennsylvania State Police (Computer Crime Unit/Area III) conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

THE clash between those who adhere to the scientific theory of evolution and those who believe that the biblical story of the six-day creation is literally true is a struggle between two religions. So concludes Michael Ruse in his accessible, skilfully written book. Since the Enlightenment, he says, scientists have offered up an alternative vision of the nature of reality, and those among them who are most opposed to religion can proselytise with as much zeal as an evangelical Christian.
For Richard Dawkins, contemplation of the natural world through the eyes of science is a religious experience, providing the same "spine-shivering, breath-catching awe - almost worship" as cultivated by the great religions.
Yet Dawkins regards faith as one of the world's great evils, "comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate". He defines faith as "belief that isn't based on evidence", whereas science is based upon verifiable facts. Even ...

Outdoor towns.
They rule.
You already know the parts and pieces:
- Bike stuff out the hoo-ha.
- Dirtbag climber refugee zones.
- Rivers. 'Nuff said.
If you take all that stuff and cover it in sausage gravy, you get Brevard, NC.
Like to ride? Point your fat tires in any direction.
If you climb then you're already aware of the eyebrows on Looking Glass.
And paddlers can almost always spank the monkey.
Little known romantic fact for lovebird-types: The Brevard area has more waterfalls per whatever than anywhere else in the country.
Now you know. Go there.

The Wellhead Protection Program was established to protect public water systems using ground water from contamination. This program has an emphasis on the prevention of ground water contamination due to the difficulty in cleaning up the contamination once it occurs. These drinking water sources are vulnerable to a variety of contaminant sources such as industrial spills, shallow underground injection discharges {referred to by EPA as class V (5) wells} through wells, floor drains and septic tanks, leaks from underground storage tanks, etc.
Much of ground water contamination stems from the misuse and improper disposal of liquid and solid wastes; the illegal dumping or abandonment of household, commercial, or industrial chemicals; the accidental spilling of chemicals from trucks, railways, aircraft, handling facilities, and storage tanks; or the improper siting, design, construction, operation, or maintenance of liquid and solid waste disposal facilities (see Table 1 and 2). Generally, when the potential sources are used and managed properly, ground water contamination is not likely to occur.
More than 89 percent of U. S. public water supply systems draw some or all of their drinking water from sources found underground in rock, sand or gravel. Over one-third of Tennessees citizens are served by public water systems relying on ground water.
Tennessee's Wellhead Protection Program requires the cooperation of state and local government, private industry and the general public. The official designation of wellhead protection areas provides valuable input and emphasis to government agencies in the siting of facilities and the prioritization and cleanup of contamination sites.
Wellhead protection makes good business sense. It is in an industrys best interest to pay attention to good housekeeping practices if they are located within a wellhead protection area. Substantial spills or leaks from an industrys sloppy housekeeping practices within a wellhead protection area could contaminate a public water supply and subject the owner/operator of the facility to both state and federal enforcement action. Enforcement action can include heavy fines, the cost of the ground water cleanup and paying for additional treatment and monitoring for the water system.
Facilities in wellhead protection areas that store or handle hazardous substances {such as heavy industrial plants, dry cleaners, gas stations, auto repair workshops, and transportation facilities such as trucking, railroad, bus depots and airports} need to be aware of the potential to contaminant water systems and strictly comply with all regulatory requirements. They should also be encouraged to implement best management practices.
EPA is undertaking an initiative to focus on class V wells in wellhead protection areas. Since these wells place fluids directly into the ground water, they are a sizeable threat to water supplies. The threat to ground water from Class V practices can be significantly reduced by the utilization of best management practices and careful monitoring at permitted facilities within wellhead protection areas.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love this book. Margaret Atwood does this thing where she creates not just religions but faiths. And her depictions of the faithful as hope-filled but visited by doubt, imperfect but not villainous, is rare, respectful and beautiful. I'm a vegan and not an atheist, and maybe that's part of the reason I don't find the God's Gardeners in Year of the Flood 'annoying,' like more than a few reviewers of this novel (including Michiko Kakutani) seem to have done, but I found the morality at the core of this novel to be a comfort and not an irritation.
Even apart from this, the book is captivating. Elements of Oryx and Crake that were frustrating and opaque become tantalizing. Putting this book down, I think on Snowman with fondness, rather than indifference or disgust, as I did after the first book. Maybe Atwood likes writing about women more than about men. Fine by me.
Wow this book is weird but beautiful. Set in a futuristic world rife with cults and all-powerful mega-corporations. The main characters are all members of an apocalyptic cult called "the Gardeners". This cult combines the weirdest parts of Christianity with the most annoying parts of hippie philosophy to create a religion that manages to be extremely conservative and idiotically nicey-nice at the same time. Unfortunately, the Gardeners are right and a "waterless flood" is coming - a plague that will wipe out most of the population. Who will survive in this crazy new world?
the view of the world from Oryx and Crake was bleak and sterile with everything neatly contained and packaged for consumption reminiscent of Logan's Run or Gattaca. there was also an underlying feeling of being off-center, i think, because it was told from Jimmy's point of view. Year of the Flood let's us out of the corporate compounds (ie Jimmy's ruminations) and into the less orderly "pleeblands" where life more resembles what we're used to.
Atwood weaves together a view of a post-plague world from several characters's personal stories; an ensemble cast is used this time to deepen our understanding and change our perspective. as always, she seldom comes right out of tells us anything, she leaves it up to the reader to glean certain facts as the story unfolds, just as we would if we were living in it.
questions are again asked of the reader: what is life worth with no one else in it? will the new spliced species of human creation wipe out all humans? what does it mean when a species is superseded by another species of its own making? what does having the power to wipe out all of humanity mean? is it right to utilize that power? et al.
religion and science are dealt with pragmatically, as social constructs that the characters use; she does not make conclusions about their worth or validity- vignettes are displayed and the reader gets to make up his or her mind about them.
the book represents well-written science fiction. again, nothing too new but her handling of characters and slowly revealing pieces and parts of the tale she's telling makes this top-notch sci-fi.
I am on a binge reading MaddAddam marathon and while this is typically not my genre of choice, I am so caught up in the trilogy, I am literally going from one book to the next. I read The Year of the Flood when it first came out, not realizing it was part of a trilogy, so I reread it after the first book, Oryx and Crake, and I am now on the final book MaddAddam. Margaret Atwood has quite a gift when it comes to storytelling and it is not only easy to be swept away into the various story lines, but also impossible not to care about the people and long to know about them before the waterless flood as well as after. Again, this is not a genre I typically enjoy, which to me proves just how gifted a writer Margaret Atwood is. Now back to MaddAddam.
Om Margaret Atwoods "Syndaflodens år" kommer att räknas till de stora framtidsskildringarna går inte att säga ännu, men potentialen finns.
That it's funnier and less gruelling than The Handmaid's Tale owes much to Lorelei King's honey-coated reading and the enchantingly old-fashioned hymns from the God's Gardeners' Oral Hymn Book, sung by the equally honey-voiced Orville Stoeber. Now that's something you could never get from the printed page.
In Hieronymus Bosch–like detail, Atwood renders this civilization and these two lives within it with tenderness and insight, a healthy dread, and a guarded humor.
"The Year of the Flood" is a slap-happy romp through the end times. Stuffed with cornball hymns, genetic mutations worthy of Thomas Pynchon (such as the rakuunk, a combined skunk and raccoon) and a pharmaceutical company run amok, it reads like dystopia verging on satire. She may be imagining a world in flames, but she's doing it with a dark cackle.
Personally, though, I prefer Atwood in a retro mood. I'd easily take "Alias Grace" or "The Blind Assassin" over the lucid nightmares of "The Handmaid's Tale" or "Oryx and Crake." But fans of those novels should grab a biohazard suit, crawl into a hermetically sealed fallout shelter, and dive right in.

From the Publisher: The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners-a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life-has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible. Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers. Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move, but they can't stay locked away. By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.… (more)

Crisp Pizza Crust
I have been making pizza with my FB oven for over a year. I have the dough and sauce down. The fire is coming along as well. What's the secret to getting the crust just right, so that it's not too raw, and not too burn?
Re: Crisp Pizza Crust
good to hear from you...
The two key's to good crust are the flour and formula you use, and the temperature of the oven..
Send along a bit more detail and we might be able to add some pointers on how to improve what you already know...
What recipe do you use for the dough (ingredients and process);
How thick of a pizza do you usually make? Deep dish thick? or Pizza Margarita thin?
When you heat your oven, do you get the dome to clear before setting up to cook pizza? And what temp are the cooking floor and the dome when your pizza hit the brick?
Look forward to hearing from you,
Do you have any pictures of you oven? Always good fun to see another oven..
Re: Crisp Pizza Crust
Something that I have seen recommended to improve the crispness of pizzas is the hydration level. I have recently started making a higher hydration mix - probably around 67% and there is a lot of crispness in the dough. What hydration level are you currently using??

Australian farmers want excess water from large floods to be 'banked' in aquifers, for use in dry times.
A survey by researchers at the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT) shows that farmers in the Namoi catchment area in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) are mainly supportive of water banking storing surplus water underground from large floods.

No sticks on oilheads, thank goodness. However, it might be wise to check coil impedance with a VOM to insure there is adequate voltage to the plugs. Also, check the plug wires. I don;t know if your vintage has carbon wires but, have a look in a dark place at night with the engine at idle. You'll see corona if wires are leaky. Did you replace any in-the-tank fuel lines? Those lines can crack with age and leave your high pressure side with low fuel pressure. The poor driveability is especddially noticeable at higher RPMs when fuel pressure and full flow is needed. Also, next time, don't buy the Bosch plugs. Too costly. Autolite 3923s are preferred by pre dual-spark boxer owners. They're about $2.00 each and allow the gap to be adjusted with the traditional over-the-end ground electrode. Also, the Autolites improve cold starts and have been known to reduce surging somewhat.

Human nature frequently disproves theories. Conventional wisdom, for example, says that open office space plans with workers grouped like cattle encourage creativity and collaboration. But study after study shows that people are more inventive, productive and healthy with more privacy.
Susan Cain writes about this eloquently in "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking." But examples are legion of experience trumping ideology.

Wood Stoves: what's new in the world of wood heat.
Gawd I love the first couple weeks of heating season... getting the stove fired up for the year... This is my favorite form of renewable energy...
This is our Woodstock Soapstone Fireview model... We run about 6 cords a year through it...
Four years in and no issues with it yet other than this: There is a piece of cast iron on the inside that runs across the front just above the window that I thought had gotten bent out of shape... It is designed to cause air to wash down the window to keep the flame and smoke from etching/discoloring it.. The manufacturer calls it an 'air chute'. (Part number W-172 http://www.woodstove.com/images/edit...20interior.pdf )
It is supposed to be about 1/4 inch from the window...but on the left side it was touching the window and on the right it was more like 1/2 inch away from the window...
I figured I had bent it jamming a piece of wood in while the iron was pretty warm... I called the manufacturer (surprise: they actually make them 20 miles from me) and they walked me through the process of taking a couple pieces of iron apart to get to bolts that adjust the clearance of the air chute... Totally servicable with simple tools.. love it...
Took 30 minutes on a Sunday morning... Thing is running like a champ... window has never been clearer...
Love this stove...
Anyone else love burning wood???...
We now have a Jotul 3 and I have burned wood for thirty years. We also have 2 solar panels for hot air, as well as a sun room. Wood heat has a certain 'soul' that other forms of heat do not. It feels alive, and must be cared for, but the pay backs are many. I will always strive to have a wood stove, even after I get too old to cut my own wood. No matter how cold it is outside, you can always warm your fanny by the fire.
I don't have a nice photo to share of my stove, but I'm also feeling pretty darn gaga about my now 3 yo rock that make us warm. The past few days, I've been feeding it some of the cleanest, perfectly seasoned hardwood I've ever used. It's a real pleasure.
I give you the Hearthstone Equinox
This is not my kid or my house........if it was, I would tell the kid to shut the door before she gets a hot coal in her ear.:lol3
I forgot to mention, I really love the Fireview too! I'm suprised you are able to process 6 full cords thru it in a season, thats a whole lotta wood! From here on out to April my stove will be burning, I have 5 cord set aside but will only use 4. You burning softwood?
Have you seen/heard about the new, not yet released really big Woodstock stove?
I've gotten to know the guy I get wood from a little bit.. he has a pretty cool little operation.. he makes dimentional lumber at his mill and runs a kiln with the shavings in which he dries cord wood...
I was at the mill a couple weeks ago and he was showing me his new wood processor that he got last year... anyway.. he had a couple different picker load piles sitting next to it.. I noticed one was all oak... :evil ... Half joking I mentioned that if he wanted to give me all oak I'd be happy to take it... To my surpirse he lit up..and said "Sure!'
Apparently a lot of people don't like to burn oak... which upon thinking about it makes perfect sense: If you were starting fires every night when you got home, oak would suck because it takes so long to get going... but for people like me that burn 24/7 it is perfect because it burns so slow and coals down so nice... Very clean wood to deal with..
For the non-wood burning geeks: oak is great firewood because the energy density is at the higher end of the scale... Birch might be at ~23,500,000 BTUs per cord, while oak (in this case, red oak) might be at ~27,500,000 or about 16% better than the birch... which over the corse of 6 cords is an additional ~24,00,000 BTUs; almost like getting an extra cord of BTUs...
So we'll see what happens this year running all oak.. I am curious to see how much we go through...
Crazy Easter Island looking thing... crappy picture (from google search).. great stoves..
The front opens up which is really cool, but a lousy way to load a stove:
I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains and burn in a Hearthstone I got 12 years ago. Traded for labor to tearout an old brick wall suround. Took me and a helper about two hours. The lady was tired of wood and wanted to go gas.
She was happy and I was stoked. It is now in its third (3) house! The last time I went and got a permit for it and had to get documentation from Hearthstone that it was a 'wood burning fireplace" apparently a fireplace has much less restriction in CA than a wood stove. I will take it with me when I go. and the stainless flue!! You will always find the terriers curled up on the hot floor and the laundry hanging on the line in wintertime. Love it. Burns any wood. mostly construction scraps and fallen wood. Not much scraps this year though. Glow on!
I've always liked oak but it's gotta be seasoned.....nothing oak (outside of kiln dried wood) that hasn't seasoned for at least 12 months is going to work good in a modern stove, especially one with a cat. Go ahead and ask how I know.......yea it will burn but it won't heat until half the load is wasted.
My new wood guy is a local old boy who works with his son, they use an old National Grid dump truck that holds just over 2 full cords......it's all stacked in rows on the truck so you can measure the load, very professional. He gets $220 for mixed hardwood but like you noticed about your guy, he poo poos the oak. He tells me it takes a year or more to season oak and he won't sell it because most burners burn wood cut in spring/summer and the oak just sizzles and folks complain. He knows I buy a year ahead so the 2 loads I get this weekend won't hit the fire until this time next year. Anyway, he called 2 night ago and scored some oak and hard maple for me......he also will throw on 2 face cords of just ash that I can set aside in case I run low in the spring.:clap He will cut to length and split to size as I wish........damn this beats dealing with log loads, chainsaws and a splitting maul!
Front loading aint bad if the box is big enough.......I hardly ever use the side door on mine.
We burn mostly oak through my old EarthStove Cat bv4000c
It takes at least 2 years of split, stacked, covered, in my climate to get it dry enough to burn well, but as you said, its worth it.
learned to like hickory also, and black cherry. The cherry seasons pretty quick, and coals VERY well, but doesnt pack the energy density of the hickory or Oak.
It was cold this morning ( 62F in the house)
I was thinking its time to vacuum the spider webs from the insert, and clean the flu, and get ready for burn season!
Anyone ever install a combustion air make-up system for their wood stove??
On my next house I want to put one in... just currious how others have addressed this...
My dream is an insulated piece of power-dampered duct comming from the outside to the chimney and use the heat of the chimney to preheat the combustion air and feed that tempered air to the air intake on the stove..
I've lit my Vermont Castings Defiant II three times this fall - it's finally gotten below freezing at night, but I put in 5 small chunks of wood and let it go out - it's plenty warm enough with that.
I'm not sure I've got enough wood for the winter, but my supplier assures me that he will bring more if I need it.
Sadly, I mostly get pine here, but at least it's cheap. My supplier has a machine that cuts and splits 5 cords a day automatically - I have to admit I'd like to see that thing.
I love wood heat.
I have one of those Jotul stoves in my garage, although, I think it is a knock off. I had one years ago in another house and liked it and bought this one when I had the chance. I may put it in the cabin one of these days. Or not.
Mine is a 20 year old Bronco.
Heats my ranch style home with 4 cords a year.
Can take a 22" log.
Aaron- glad to hear you like that stove- it's one of many things we're shopping for right now!
I hope you bought it at one of their "you come up here and put it in your truck and we'll pretty much give it to you for nothing" weekend sales. :deal

Cooking and Baking
Baking with Cooling Racks -- What kind to get?
I've often seen recipes that advise cooking bacon or oven-fried items on a cooling rack set over a baking pan in the oven, and even received a rack over Christmas for this very application. However, after I got it I noticed the packaging said it was not oven-safe. I ended up having it returned, but looking online, I'm dreadfully confused. Reading reviews on Amazon show some buyers saying certain racks are oven safe and some aren't. Does anyone have any suggestions for purchase (preferably not on the expensive side of the spectrum?)
Thanks in advance!

I can actually rip a phone book in half. I know you're impressed.
I'm really just looking for someone who can explain the latest season of "Homeland" to me, because I kind of got lost. Anyway, I'm originally from Minnesota, but have been in L.A. over 12 years now. I was once the fastest white guy on the USC track team, and I slip that little tidbit into conversation at every possible opportunity. I've been involved in politics pretty much my entire life, so if you're on the far right of the political spectrum, we're probably not a match. Also, as you can see, I'm devilishly handsome. And modest, too. I'm looking for a down-to-earth girl who can hold an intelligent conversation and look good in a little black dress at the same time.

Castle Costume Designer Luke Reichle Dishes on Kate Beckett's "Rock-Star" Evolution and Alexis Castle's Coming of Age – Exclusive!
If anything's evolved since Castle premiere in 2009, it's Kate Beckett's fashion sense.
This year alone, we've seen Stana Katic in a shift dress by Alberta Ferretti, a fitted Burberry jacket, and we can't wait to see her gangster's moll get-up in Monday's "The Blue Butterfly" episode.
We recently got the scoop on Beckett's wardrobe from the man who puts her look together, costumer designer Luke Reichle.
"The work wardrobe is always grounded in who Beckett is, and who she is, is a very interesting, complex woman," says Luke. "I never want to go [with] dead-on cop clothes with her because it just doesn't, for me, reflect the color of the character, or the nature of the show itself."
Luke says the show, at its core, is about the relationship between Castle and Beckett, and the humor, tension, and affection that goes with it.
"Let's face it, there's always the potential of a relationship brewing there. If there wasn't a potential of a relationship brewing there, I don't think we'd have a job," he says. "And Beckett is always a mixture of feminine, detective, a little bit of rock star, plus a little bit of hard core, and there's always the kick ass element."
Luke sees Beckett shopping in Soho and Little Italy, and not necessarily hitting 5th Avenue for her couture.
"I really see her shopping everywhere. She's shopping in New York, all over town. To me, Beckett is the epitome of high/low shopping," he tells us.
And speaking of evolving fashion senses, the change he's happiest about is Molly Quinn's (Alexis Castle) departure from her drab wardrobe from previous seasons.
"I banned her school uniform and pajamas," reveals Luke. "I said, 'Can we please not have her leaving for school?' You don't have to wear a uniform your senior year. How about that? Molly was so there with me."

In my four month review I concluded with some lessons learned, well I will apply one of them today and then break the same one! Have I gone mad? I hope not, the lesson was about not racking up multiple losses on the same horse. Mallusk has been recommended on these pages three times in the last month, but I will not make it a fourth today. He runs in the 15:00 at Lingfield but if in-form trainer Venetia Williams lets Niceonefrankie run three days after completing a double, Mallusk may have to settle for second place again.
However, at Taunton there is a horse I want to support again, that horse is Colin Tizzard's Third Intention. I tipped the horse in the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham and he ran a better race than his finishing position of seventh indicates, he actually lead at the last before weakening up the hill. Dropped in class today he carries top-weight but races off the same handicap mark and I think he will be tough to beat. Colin told us this morning that "Third Intention is coming back after a bit of a setback just before Christmas when he pulled a muscle near his groin. He's fit and well now and in good nick at home. He could win this but he has a lot of weight to carry and I think a place is more realistic."
The horse is already attracting money this morning and should be backed to win at 5.50 with a Best Odds Guaranteed firm such as Bet365.
It is not often you see a hot trainers list with neither Paul Nicholls or Nicky Henderson on it, but that is the case at the moment. Other leading jumps trainers such as Philip Hobbs and Nigel Twiston-Davies have appeared on it recently and I look for the latter to provide us with a nice price winner today. He runs six but the one I am siding with is What An Oscar in the 14:10 at Ludlow. This 7-y-o has been a little hit and miss, but has won two of his last four starts and should benefit from a step up in trip today. Interestingly Jason Maguire rides and I am hoping he might get more of a tune out of the horse than Nigel's son Willie managed last time out at Taunton. What An Oscar should be backed to win at 13.00 also with a Best Odds company such as William Hill.

We all know that the sun rays are dangerous: they cause wrinkles, sun spots, uneven pigmentation and cancer. That's why it is necessary to wear a good sunscreen every day to make sure our skin is protected against all this damage. But just like any other ingredient in beauty products, sunscreen agents can cause allergies too. And what can we do when this happens?
What are sunscreen allergies and who's more at risk?
If you're allergic to sunscreen, you'll develop an itchy and blistering rash on your skin wherever you applied the sunscreen. This can occur for two reasons: your skin has come into contact with a substance that has triggered the reaction (contact dermatitis) or it can be a combination of the sunscreen and UV exposure (phototoxic reaction).
Those who are more prone to develop an allergy to sunscreen are people that spend a lot of time working outdoors, those that apply sunscreen to sun-damaged skin and those that have chronic skin condition that are related to the sun like atopic dermatitis. It also seems that women are more at risk than men which is thought to be because they often use cosmetics with SPF.
Chemical vs Physical Sunscreens
Now, let's have a look at the ingredients. There are two types of sunscreens: chemical absorbers and physical blockers:
Chemical absorbers: these are synthetic substances that absorb UV radiation and turn it into a less dangerous and less damaging form of radiation. They include ingredients like Mexoryl, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone and PABAs, most of which can cause irritations and allergies.
Physical blockers: these are ingredients that don't absorb UV radiation, but instead reflect it and scatter it away from our bodies to the environment. They include ingredients like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which won't cause contact dermatitis but can leave a white cast on skin. In addition, if the concentrations are too high, they can cause breakouts in some people.
What sunscreen ingredients are more likely to cause allergies?
There are several sunscreen agents that can cause allergies but the most common ones are:
Benzophenones: a group of substances that include Oxybenzone, Methanone, benzophenone-3 and any other ingredient that ends in "benzophenone". They are very used in sunscreens for their ability to protect against UVBs and some UVAs rays but can cause contact dermatitis.
Cinnamates: a group of compunds that include ethylhexyl-p-methoxycinnamate, and 2-Ethoxyethyl-p-methoxycinnamate. These UVB absorbers, which can cause allergies, are often used together with Benzophenones. Cinnamates are related to Balsam of Peru allergies, so those that have this allergies should stay away with sunscreens that contain this group of ingredients.
Dibenzoylmethanes: this groups contains Avobenzone and Eusolex 8020. Because they can absorb UVA rays, they are often used in conjunction with other sunscreen agents for broad-spectrum protection. Cases of contact allergies to these compounds have been reported.
Octocrylene: this is a recent ingredients that has only been used for about a decade. It protects skin against UVB rays but can cause contact dermatitis.
Salicylates: they include ingredients like Benzyl Salicylate (the first sunscreen ever used in the USA) Octyl Salicylate, and any other ingredients that end with "salicylate." These ingredients need to be used in high concentrations because their ability to absorb UVB rays is weak. They can cause contact dermatitis, but that rarely happens.
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA): although one of the first sunscreen ingredients to be used in the USA, it is now rarely found in products because it is a common allergen.
Fragrance and preservatives: to complicate things even more, it's not only the sunscreen agents that can cause allergies and other negative reactions, each ingredient in the product could actually be the culprit. Those more likely to cause trouble are fragrances and preservatives, especially those that work by releasing formaldehyde. In any case, if you know you're allergic to something, always check the label before purchasing.
What can I do if I'm allergic to sunscreen?
Apart from staying away from the sun, which isn't always possible, wear protective clothes, sunglasses and hats, the first thing to do is determine what ingredient is the culprit. Checking the ingredient list is the first step to know what you are reacting to, but the only way to know for sure is to visit a doctor and do a patch allergy test.
Depending on where you live though, that can be quite expensive so if you think it is one of the chemical sunscreens you are allergic to, use physical sun blockers instead. I know that sometimes they can leave an unappealing white cast or be too thick, so experiment until you find the one for you. And in any case, isn't that a small price to pay to protect your skin against all the devastating damage the sun can do?
I've tried a physical sunblock and I still had a negative reaction. What now?
Well, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide haven't been reported to cause contact dermatitis but if you're experiencing a negative reaction there could be a couple of reasons. Sometimes, these ingredients are used together with chemical absorbers, so it's possible that it's to those you are reacting to. Or maybe it's the fragrance or one of the other ingredients. Check the label to see if you can discover the culprit and try something else instead like an unscented sunscreen that only contain physical blockers.
Another thing you could do is apply the sunscreen on a part of your body that won't be exposed to sunlight. That's because, like mentioned above, sometimes the allergy is caused by a combination of sunlight and sunscreen lotion. So if you apply a small amount of sunscreen on your arm and wear a long-sleeved top for example and your skin is fine, you know your problem is not caused by the sunscreen, but by the sunlight. If this is the case, you should consult a doctor to determine how you can protect yourself from the sun efficiently without side effects.
Are you allergic to sunscreen? Feel free to share your experience (or anything else you want) in the comments!

With all of the news this morning we let this one fall through the cracks: T-Mobile has picked up the Lumia 520, but as a 521 variant (they always have to be different). There's no official date or pricing for the device, but we don't believe it will be too long before the carrier picks it up, probably for $0 on contract or below $200 off contract.
The Lumia 521 features a 4-inch ClearBlack, SuperSensitive Touch 800x480 display, wireless charging (covers), 8GB storage (expandable via MicroSD), 1430mAh and 1GHz dual-core CPU. This could be a nice break out phone for the carrier to get into consumer hands, especially those not keen on dropping too much on a device.

It's a difficult time for motorists, with insurance prices increasing and the cost of fuel spiralling out of control. Research by MoneySupermarket suggests that 65% of motorists have altered their driving habits in an attempt to keep costs down.
However, this is obviously not a concern for some motorcycle owners who are quite happy to fork out on expensive headwear as we take a look at some of the most expensive helmets to hit the market:
Used AyrtonSenna helmet- $114,000
A used AyrtonSenna helmet recently sold for $114,000 at an auction in Silverstone. This was double the initial valuation which is no doubt due to hero-worship surrounding Sennawhich motoring racing fans around the world can surely relate to.
One of the reasons why the helmet is so valuable is that the helmet has actually been signed by the triple World Champion who lost his life while leading the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola in 1994.
In addition, Senna's race suit was sold separately for $54,000. Both the helmet and the race suit had been used by the great Brazilian during the 1991 F1 season and were bought directly from McLaren boss Ron Dennis. This was the year of Senna's third and final championship triumph when he brilliantly fought off the faster Williams Renault car of Nigel Mansell to take the title in Japan with one race still remaining.
AyrtonSenna has recently surged in popularity once again on the back of the success of the Senna film; a BAFTA Winning documentary chronicling his life in the sport from his remarkable first season with the lowly Toleman team in 1984 until his untimely demise ten years later.
Signed Valentino Rossi replica helmet- $2,400
While Senna was famous for keeping the same famous yellow helmet design throughout his racing career, Moto GP legend Valentino Rossi is just as famous for constantly changing his.
However, like the Brazilian, Rossi is famous for his success on the track being statistically the most successful rider of all time. The Italian has a remarkable nine championship victories under his belt, with the most recent coming for Yamaha during the 2009 season.
A signed version of his 'Austin Powers' helmet, a design he used during the 2003 Valencia Grand Prix, is currently selling for $2,400. The signature is on the removable visor which Rossi signed personally during the 2006 British Grand Prix weekend.
Replica Michael Schumacher helmet- $499
If you are not particularly interested in collectables but would simply like to adorn the same helmet livery as one of your racing legends, you do have the option to purchase replica liveries which out not signed.
Many businesses have been set up to create replica racing helmets in order to capitalise on the popularity of such designs. However, you should be careful about the quality of such items if you are buying them online. Additionally, it is recommended that you ensure that the helmet complies with expected safety standards as the strength of some helmets can be compromised by the paint used.
You can expect high quality replicas such as one Michael Schumacher replica which is available on ebay for about $500.
You will be able to find many different helmet designs which have been used by the 7 times World Champion over the course of his career; including the famous red designs which he has used during his latters years with Ferrari and upon his return to the sport in 2010 with Mercedes.

LSU Tigers vs. Florida Gators Picks, Trends, and Preview
- Updated: October 8, 2010
LSU Tigers
Florida Gators
Arch rivals from the SEC collide at the Swamp in a crucial NCAA football betting affair, as the Florida Gators play host to the LSU Tigers.
The Tigers have had a terrible time trying to move the football this year. No matter who it is calling the shots under center, it doesn't seem to matter. LSU is just getting no production from its quarterback and hasn't really gotten any since QB JaMarcus Russell left town. RB Steven Ridley remains as the only bright spot on a club that badly could use to get something good going. He is averaging well over 100 rushing yards per game this year and has found the end zone a team high four times. The key for LSU is going to be its defense. This unit has only allowed a grand total of 12.4 points per game this year, a number which we continue to preach would be even better if not for the fact that the North Carolina Tar Heels dropped 21 in a quarter against it. The Bayou Bengals rank No. 6 in the country in both total defense (246.6 yards per game) and rushing defense (79.0 yards per game), which is very bad news for a team that thinks that it is going to build a passing attack by establishing the run first.
Did the Gators really show their true colors last weekend in a 31-6 crippling loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide? This offense might just not be that good. We know one thing, and that's that QB John Brantley cannot play this poorly if the Gators think they are beating the Bayou Bengals. He is completing just over 60 percent of his passes this year for 902 yards and has a 6/3 TD/INT ratio, but he looked very shaken at times against the Tide, especially when the pressure got into his face. Florida's defense isn't as bad as it looked last week, though if you take a statistical snapshot of the game, things weren't all that bad. Arguably the most dangerous rushing attack in the nation was relatively stymied, and after a few bad drives in the first half, the defense really kicked into gear. This is a fantastic unit that HC Urban Meyer has, but it might not be enough to carry his dreadful offense.
We think that HC Les Miles is awfully tired of hearing about all of the things that his team can't do. Instead, why not talk about some of the things that the Bayou Bengals can do? LSU has been lucky to date, we admit, but we know that this team is still very, very talented. Don't be shocked to see some revenge come out from last year's big time loss in the Bayou. The Gators will have a very hard time scoring in this game, and we think that the men in purple and gold will capitalize for at least a cover, if not an outright victory.
NCAA Football Free Pick: LSU Tigers +6.5
