How to make fuel from thin airBob Jennings may be a modern-day alchemist, turning air into liquid gold. The Technical Director of Air Fuel Synthesis explains his company's breakthrough.
The original intention was to produce aviation fuel by reacting carbon dioxide extracted from the air with hydrogen extracted from water (using renewable electricity) to make hydrocarbons. The two fuels I see us making initially are methanol and gasoline. Methanol has lots of applications but our main thrust is to convert that methanol into gasoline.
In New Zealand, in the 1990s, Mobil Corp. made synthetic gasoline from methanol. We have our own version of that process. The difference is that they used natural gas while we are using wind energy, recovered CO2, and electrolytic hydrogen.
How do you capture CO2 from the air?
We use a "scrubbing column"—a large tower containing alkali. CO2 and water produce a weak acid which reacts with the alkali creating bicarbonate which you then process from which to recover the carbon dioxide. This is done thermally by heating it up to 100 degrees plus, under slight pressure.
How much air do you need to create a liter of fuel?
An awful lot; the concentration of CO2 in air is only about 0.035 percent so to get sufficient kilograms of CO2 you have to process about 4000 meters cubed of air.
That is why we have mostly been using commercial CO2 from bottles, mainly by-products of bioethanol, ammonia or hydrogen plants. While we can capture CO2 from air, it is difficult and more concentrated sources of CO2 are more economically viable at the moment.
How does your technology make fuel?
We mix and compress the carbon dioxide and hydrogen and pass the gas mix over a commercial catalyst which partially converts it into methanol. The CO2/H2 mix not converted is recycled back into the reactor. The product we get is about half methanol and half water. We separate that so we have a purified methanol stream for our gasoline reactor.
In the gasoline reactor we feed the methanol through a heat exchanger and then a conversion reactor to make hydrocarbons and water. We get approximately 10 parts gasoline for every 30 parts methanol.
How much CO2 do you need to make a liter of fuel?
We need 3.9kg of CO2 to make one kilogram, or about 3.1kg to make one liter of gasoline. A typical ammonia plant would make well over 1000 tons of CO2 per day. So a large gasoline reactor would probably use all the CO2 from a very large ammonia plant.
We need about 30 kilowatts of power to make one kilogram of gasoline. The main energy cost is the cost of making the hydrogen through electrolysis of water. Most hydrogen is manufactured by steam reforming fossil fuels but our objective is to use sustainable energy, mainly wind and perhaps solar.
To make a ton of gasoline we would need about four and a half tons of water. However, all the water used to make the hydrogen is regenerated during methanol and gasoline synthesis, and some could be recycled.
Would you need to locate production plants near large water sources?
On a small scale, probably not. But if we are talking about refinery scale, It would be useful to have access to large amounts of water. Equally important is being close to large amounts of CO2.
What scale are you working at now?
We have a one-liter reactor for methanol, capable of making about one kilogram an hour. The gasoline reactor should give us about half that amount although in practice it is a little less at the moment.
We are making methanol and gasoline every day and are trying to advance them for evaluation. We consider the technology as proven, and so now we are looking at building a ton-a-day gasoline unit. I would like to see us have something to show on the ground in two years, although it depends entirely on funding. We need external investors and are applying for UK government grants.
When will you have a vehicle running on your fuel?
We are hoping to do something with a small vehicle. Our goal for this year is to have some motorized transport running entirely on our fuel.
It depends on scale. Up to a ton day we are definitely looking at a niche market but there is no technical reason why this couldn't be done at a very large scale, hundreds or even thousands of tons a day. Our long-term vision would be refinery scale which would be several hundreds of tons a day.
So who will be your first customers?
A lot of gasoline users have a requirement for sustainable fuel elements in their fuel. Motor racing is one example. Conventionally they use bio-ethanol. The advantage of using our gasoline is it has a higher energy density and it doesn't take up land that could be used for food.
Some of the fleet markets are being required to reduce their carbon emissions. We argue that our fuel is CO2 neutral and on that basis that could be blended directly into existing fuels to help people meet targets.
Have you been certified as CO2 neutral by independent bodies?
That is what we are working on. If we take it from air obviously it is. If we take it from a brewery or distillery, it is. We would argue if we take it from a power station it is because firstly, we are preventing the emission of that CO2, and second, we are getting twice the value of the CO2 that is emitted because the same carbon is being used twice.
Who have you demonstrated your technology to?
We have demonstrated to carmakers, and just written a joint paper with Lotus for example on blended fuels. One of our early targets is a Lotus car using fuel in a blend, that's what we hope to see happening. We are in discussions with a petroleum blending company which has shown great interest because we make a high-octane hydrocarbon mixture with a rating of approximately 94. That could be used with very little refining.
What is your anticipated cost per liter of fuel?
I can't give an exact number because it is very dependent on scale, the cost of power, whether you get carbon credits for it, what the feed-in tariffs are. It is a very complex question. I will say at the ton-a-day scale we would be competitive with other applications in niche markets such as racing fuels. We are offering a payback in a small number of years.

By CHERYL CLARK, Special to the Times Union
First published: Sunday, December 04, 2011
Somehow I've made it to my advanced age without ever doing the dinner theater that Americans often refer to as "hibachi," although I have furtively spied on the stand-up comedy routines from the quiet side of a Japanese steakhouse.
Last week, in some post-Thanksgiving loss of inhibition, I got over myself and parked my family around a teppanyaki table, where food is prepared on a flat grill. Sake Japanese Steakhouse in Latham made my first time a keeper, doing all the right things to bring several groups of strangers into the shared show with minimum awkwardness and maximum levity.
The teppanyaki style was pioneered in Japan by a restaurant called Misono in 1945, bringing the showmanship of seaside food vendors to more elegant, indoor tables. The Benihana chain institutionalized the now-common theatrical shtick juggling, torching onion volcanoes and flipping bits of food into customers' mouths.
Sake honors these tropes with good-humored winks, and does a great job of keeping the pace of the floor show light and happy.
Our communal table, which included about 10 20-somethings, five 40-somethings and two children, bought the act. My son even said he might want a hibachi party for his ninth birthday "as long as nobody squirts that rice wine stuff at my friends." A neighboring table was keyed even higher with the help of sake bombs, with one of the patrons joining the chef behind the griddle while his fellow diners shouted encouragement and took pictures. Several servers were induced to endure sake streams fired by patrons, and a good time was had by all.
Compared to the elegant dishes being delivered to the quieter side of the dining room, our food was pedestrian, but good in a simple way, and worth the floor show.
My husband ordered the steak and scallop combo ($25) and I went for the lobster ($30). Included in the price was a simple clear chicken broth with slices of mushroom and scallion, followed by an iceberg salad with ginger dressing. The menu said the hibachi meals come with a shrimp appetizer, but that must have been overlooked as the staff served the four groups sharing the table.
Soon the chef arrived and christened the grill by drawing a happy face in vodka and oil and setting it alight. When that provoked only a mild response, he shot a higher column of flame skyward. When my 5-year-old squealed with delight, he sprayed water on her with a little plastic "fireman."
While he performed various feats of dexterity and comic timing, and squirted sake into peoples' mouths, he sauteed squash, onions, vegetables and noodles with one hand and shaped a mound of rice and scrambled egg into a "beating heart" with the other. Depositing those on plates, he threw on steak, scallops, lobster and shrimp. Our children got truncated versions of the adult meals for $11 each, complete with soup, noodles, vegetables and proteins of their choice. The children shared edamame as an appetizer for an additional $5.
Because they were all cooked on the same surface, the flavors of each dish were similar. Ramekins of Thai-inspired sauce sweet ginger and mild wasabi were provided to each customer. Everyone who had steak chose medium rare, and got it. Shrimp and scallop dishes were also perfect. My lobster, which was the last thing off the griddle, had toughened, but was still nice enough.
Behind him, another chef served and entertained the other half of the table. There was a lot going on, and it seemed like neither chef flubbed a trick, although I did notice a broken egg on the floor at the end of the meal.
Except for the soy, the food was pretty healthful, but I couldn't recommend it for people with food allergies. The wheat noodles were prepared on the same surface as the shellfish and beef, there was soy everywhere and the chef flipped little samples of various foods onto each plate in a friendly way. We were still a little hungry when the teppanyaki meals were finished, so we sampled several desserts. While probably purchased pre-made, they were each elegantly presented, delicious and worth the price. The glutinous green mochi rice cakes ($4.50) were served with lumps of strawberry ice cream, festive in a Christmas-y way. A simple vanilla gelato ($3.50) came in a dark chocolate-lined wafer cup, and the bombe ($6.25) was good quality, layers of vanilla and chocolate gelato separated by spiced almonds and maraschino cherries and covered in chocolate.

CNU Featured in New York Times Article, "Regulatory Break for Mixed-Use Projects"
The New York Times reported on a recent rule changed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that increases the allotment for government-insured mortgages for condos built within mixed-use projects. The change, championed by CNU via its Live/Work/Walk: Removing Obstacles to Investment initiative, makes it possible for owners to acquire a government-insured mortgage in developments with 35% commercial space, up from 25% previously.
Developers and city officials hope these new rules will stimulate buying and building in the housing sector, especially the condo market.
While other changes to federal regulations are necessary to increase the share of walkable, mixed-use development starts, the rule change is a huge step toward making these type of developments the norm. Along with the FHA's rule change, the number of allowed investor-owned condos has increased dramatically—to 50%, up from the original 10%—as long as the remaining condos are owner-occupied.
The NYT's Joe Gose write, "Developers and others say that in addition to strengthening home sales, the changes represent a vote of confidence in the creation of sustainable, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods, which are more likely to have projects that incorporate mixed-use buildings."
Ben Schulman, Communications Director for CNU, is quoted in the piece, questioning whether the current regulations on commercial space mitigates risk better than mixed-use developments. Schulman says,"'We understand that risk has to be assessed somehow, but associating it with commercial is just not the right way to do it.'"
While the rule changes are good news for developers, communities, and CNU, the push for more change hasn't ceased. As a part of our Live/Work/Walk campaign, The Congress for the New Urbanism remains committed and hopeful that HUD, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the FHA will continue to raise or eliminate the restrictive covenants on commercial space on traditional neighborhood districts.

Transportation and port companies need to cooperate more, members of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition said at their annual meeting in San Francisco.
Canadian National, Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific railways have seen volumes drop 4 percent, 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively, so far in the second quarter.
The ever-increasing size of containerships has led a decrease in average number of containers moved per hour in port and, in turn, to increased vessel delays, according to a new JOC Port Productivity study from IHS Inc.

Callagur borneoensis
Painted Terrapin
DISTRIBUTION: Indonesia and Malaysia.
EMPIRE STOCK: WC exported from Indonesia and Malaysia and CBB.
SIZE: Up to 60cm SCL.
HABITAT: Mainly found in the freshwater and estuary parts of rivers in their range, they are known to enter full salt water and nest on the same beaches as Sea Turtles
DIET: Almost exclusively vegetarian as adults, in the wild they are known to eat Mangrove leaves and fruit. My adults are currently feeding on Romaine, Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), Mazuri Tortoise Diet, Mangoes, Banana, Cantaloupe, and occasionally Mazuri Turtle. They have shown little to no interest in apples and strawberries. Two red fruits that other herbivorous turtles and tortoises would relish. They also have passed on various forms of meat I have offered.
In the Molls' book on River Turtles, they mention observing leaf monkeys throwing Berembang fruit down to Callagurs in the water. I imagine my turtles thinking nothing odd about another primate tossing them a meal. So far, I just toss it in from the side and not while hanging from the tree over the pond.
SEXING: Callagurs are sexually dimorphic, females are larger than males, and sexually dichromatic, males are differently colored than females. This color difference becomes more noticeable during breeding season.
BREEDING: I have only witnessed courtship once, at night, and have never seen actual copulation. My males cycle through their breeding colors a number of times within a year.
My first clutch was produced in March of 2003. Since then, all other clutches have come in March or April. The eggs are elongate, and the shells seem to be easily damaged. I suggest care in handling and a high humidity during incubation.
NOTES: Loss of habitat, human consumption of eggs and adults, and limited range have led to a decline in these turtles in the wild. They are currently on CITES appendix II.
I initially kept my animals in a brackish pond, but eventually shifted to freshwater, for reasons of practicality. They have been kept completely in freshwater for the last five years with no apparent problems.
All of my original stock was Wild Caught and had noticeable to serious shell damage at the time of purchase. At least a few of them were known to come directly from the "food markets". Most of the damage was no longer visible after two years. Their pond is soft bottomed with a "deep" section of 1M and an area that gently slopes up to the sandy beach land section.
Callagurs love to bask. They are very shy on land and tend to make a dash for the water when disturbed.

Virtualization how-tos and learning guides
Paravirtualization is an enhancement of virtualization technology in which a guest OS is recompiled prior to installation inside a virtual machine. Paravirtualization allows for an interface to the virtual machine that can differ somewhat from that of the underlying hardware. This capacity minimizes overhead and optimizes system performance by supporting the use of virtual machines that would be underutilized in conventional or full virtualization.

The main limitation of paravirtualization is the fact that the guest OS must be tailored specifically to run on top of the virtual machine monitor (VMM), the host program that allows a single computer to support multiple, identical execution environments. However, paravirtualization eliminates the need for the virtual machine to trap privileged instructions. Trapping, a means of handling unexpected or unallowable conditions, can be time-consuming and can adversely impact performance in systems that employ full virtualization.
Paravirtualization is an expansion of a technology that has existed for years in the IBM OS known as VM. Xen, an open-source software project, incorporates paravirtualization.

An oil platform or oil rig is a large structure used to house workers and machinery needed to drill and/or extract oil and natural gas through wells in the ocean bed. Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be attached to the ocean floor, consist of an artificial island, or be floating.
Generally, oil platforms are located on the continental shelf, though as technology improves and crude oil prices increase, drilling and production in deeper waters becomes both feasible and profitable. A typical platform may have around thirty wellheads located on the platform and directional drilling allows reservoirs to be accessed at both different depths and at remote positions up to 5 miles (8 kilometres) from the platform.
Many platforms also have remote wellheads attached by umbilical connections; these may be single wells or a manifold centre for multiple wells.
These platforms are built on concrete and/or steel legs anchored directly onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Such platforms are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use (for instance the Hibernia platform). Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson, floating steel and even floating concrete. Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually piled into the seabed. Concrete caisson structures, pioneered by the Condeep concept, often have in-built oil storage in tanks below the sea surface and these tanks were often used as a flotation capability, allowing them to be built close to shore (Norwegian fjords and Scottish firths are popular because they are sheltered and deep enough) and then floated to their final position where they are sunk to the seabed. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths up to about 1,700 feet (520 m).
The Hibernia platform is the world's largest oil and gas platform, located on the Jeanne D'Arc basin, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. The Gravity Base Structure (GBS), which sits on the ocean floor, is high and has storage capacity for of crude oil in its high caisson (Dorel Iosif). The platform acts as a small concrete island with serrated outer edges designed to withstand the impact of an iceberg. The GBS contains production storage tanks and the remainder of the void space is filled with ballast with the entire structure weighing in at 1.2 million tons. The platform stands high, which is half the height of New York's Empire State Building (1473) and taller than the Calgary Tower (626.6 ft).
Larger platforms are assisted by smaller ESVs (emergency support vessels) like the British Iolair that are summoned when something has gone wrong, e.g. when a search and rescue operation is required. During normal operations, PSVs (platform supply vessels) keep the platforms provisioned and supplied, and AHTS vessels can also supply them, as well as tow them to location and serve as standby rescue and firefighting vessels.
The nature of their operation — extraction of volatile substances sometimes under extreme pressure in a hostile environment — has risk and accidents and tragedies occasionally occur. In July 1988, 167 people died when Occidental Petroleum's Piper Alpha offshore production platform, on the Piper field in the North Sea, exploded after a gas leak. The accident greatly accelerated the practice of providing living accommodations on separate rigs, away from those used for extraction.
However, this was in itself a hazardous environment. In March 1980, the 'flotel' (floating hotel) platform Alexander Kielland capsized in a storm in the North Sea with the loss of 123 lives.
In 2002, an oil rig exploded just offshore near New Orleans.
Given the number of grievances and conspiracy theories that involve the oil business, and the importance of gas/oil platforms to the economy, platforms in the United States are believed to be potential terrorist targets. Agencies and military units responsible for maritime counterterrorism in the US (Coast Guard, Navy SEALs, Marine Recon) often train for platform raids.
In British waters, the cost of removing all platform rig structures entirely was estimated in 1995 at $345 billion, and the cost of removing all structures including pipelines — a so-called "clean sea" approach — at $621 billion.
Further effects are the leaching of heavy metals that accumulate in buoyancy tanks into water; and risks associated with their disposal. There has been concern expressed at the practice of partially demolishing offshore rigs to the point that ships can traverse across their site; there have been instances of fishery vessels snagging nets on the remaining structures. Proposals for the disposal at sea of the Brent Spar, a tall storage buoy (another true function of that which is termed an oil rig), was for a time in 1996 an environmental cause célèbre in the UK after Greenpeace occupied the floating structure. The event led to a reconsideration of disposal policy in the UK and Europe.
In the United States, Marine Biologist Milton Love has proposed that oil platforms off the California coast be retained as artificial reefs, instead of being dismantled (at great cost), because he has found them to be havens for many of the species of fish which are otherwise declining in the region, in the course of 11 years of research. Love is funded mainly by government agencies, but also in small part by the California Artificial Reef Enhancement Program. NOAA has said it is considering this course of action, but wants money to study the effects of the rigs in detail. Divers have been used to assess the fish populations surrounding the platforms. In the Gulf of Mexico, more than 200 platforms have been similarly converted.

Upon further investigation, I got to this:
That is the project upon which ReadyDLNA is based. Note that the project is being done by a Netgear employee.
If you have a look at the bug database, you'll see a few items in there that report issues very similar to what we're seeing. This appears to be a known issue. FWIW, as I have always felt, this seems to be a problem with the scanner itself.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
A crime against nature
Oct 28, 2012 - By Steven R. Peck
The killers of Hudson's moose are crooks who deserve harsh punishment
If there is such a thing as nature's law, then it has been broken repugnantly by the person or persons who shot and killed four moose in the Hudson area.
And if there is justice on Earth, then it will be visited in full force on the low-down dregs who committed this abominable act.
Many Fremont County residents who travel between Riverton and Lander, Hudson and Riverton, and Lander and Hudson saw one or more of these striking animals. Those who made the trip often learned to keep their eyes peeled for the big brutes. Seeing them always brought a smile.
People who make a living keeping track of wildlife say the arrival of the moose about a year ago marked a welcome change for the area. It had been so long since moose had chosen to live there that there was concern that some unalterable change had occurred that would keep moose away forever.
Instead, one day, there they were. Wildlife managers believe they were a family, such as a family can exist among moose. There was more good news recently, when witnesses said it appeared that a baby had been born into the group.
Compared to the ubiquitous antelope and deer that are seen so frequently now as to become ordinary in our eyes, moose sightings in public areas of Wyoming are unusual. Many residents of our state probably have never seen a moose, or, if they have, then just once or twice. There aren't nearly so many of them as their smaller cousins, and they can be reclusive.
So to have this small but sturdy group appear near where we live was a welcome and unexpected pleasure. They were wild animals, but in a sense they seemed to belong to us.
It is infuriating and sickening to imagine how some of our fellow human beings could shoot these quirky, innocent creatures for no earthly reason, apparently, except vile amusement.
The moose were shot and left to rot where they fell. Some had seen a calf, and if those sightings were authentic, then it is feared the young one is now dead as well for lack of care from its mother.
The investigation continues. Evidence is still emerging, and details remain to be finalized. But make no mistake: This is a crime. A significant crime. A vile crime. Those who perpetrated it are contemptible. Wyoming takes this despicable offense seriously. Many of the investigators take it personally as well.
A cooperative effort among several regulatory and investigative agencies has located suspects in the killing of the four animals. Many who are outraged by the crime feel, no doubt, that few punishments would be too severe.
If things are as they appear, then these crooks deserve harsh treatment from the rest of us. Once they are convicted, we'll do our part by printing their names in bold ink for all to see. Until then, throw the book at them, and throw it hard.

When I first purchased this product, I was amazed - however, the only reason I was amazed with this product was because it was the first High End foundation I had ever bought and the first foundation I had ever bought that came in my shade.
First of all, the foundation is a liquid - as you probably already know. It was easy to apply and but personally, it felt heavy on my skin. I wear my foundation heavy to create a high coverage anyway but this foundation felt a lot more cakey on my skin than other foundations I've used. Normally, I find foundations dry to fast and I don't have time to buff and work them into my skin, but this foundation took far too long to dry and 10mins after putting it on I would by mistake touch my face with my white school shirt and it would print (and stain!!!.) That disappointed me as it was supposed to not transfer.
The packaging is off horrific quality. It has an absolutely stunning bottle and lid, with beautiful writing on the front - however I had this foundation 3 weeks and then it smashed in my school bag. I know you may think that it would, if I'm not careful with my bag but my Mac Studio Fix Fluid is in a glass bottle and it has never smashed before and I've been using it for a year.
It also does not last 24hrs.
And it also oxidizes, badly.
Revisit -
I rebought this and I'm in love, it works better with my skin now that it's in better condition.

I was fortunate to swap for a sample of this in #140 Ivoire. I only wear long wearing foundations (and occasionally CC creams but the ones I wear are long wearing too). For me to love a foundation, it MUST cover all my redness and melasma (now both are slight by most folks' standards, but I HATE HATE either of these showing through).
For reference, I'm (bear w/ me): MAC = NC15;EM (semi-matte) = Fairly Light;Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour = #100 Ivory;Revlon ColorStay = #150 Buff;Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Foundation = T04 Nude;EL Double Wear = Desert Beige;Jane Iredale = pressed base in Bisque; Lumene CC Cream = Fair; Smashbox Camera Ready CC = Fair.
#140 Ivoire is a perfect match for my skintone. IMO, this is a medium/medium-full coverage meaning I have to put 2 layers over my redness for it to be completely invisible. I prefer something that doesn't require multiple layers. It is comfortable to wear, but it doesn't last all day on me = I need to apply powder to my nose mid-day. My EL DW and Rimmel 25 hour do not require powdering = I would not purchase.

I really thought I was going to like this foundation, but overall I found it to be a little lackluster. It doesn't really seem to last as long as it says and it gives a good coverage but the finish is nothing to rave about. Reminds me of normal/dry Revlon Colorstay. I'm not really upset that I bought this product and I do continue to use it once in a while, but I wouldn't reach for this first and I definitely wouldn't repurchase.

I absolutely love this foundation. My skin is really bizarre - sensitive, oily some days and dry others.. I've tried tons of other typical favorites from MUF, Nars, Bobbi Brown, Tarte ect, and nothing can compare to this one. I just bought my fourth bottle after a letdown from my last Bobbi Brown purchase.. Ivorie 100N is the best color match I've ever found for my pale irish skin.

I love this foundation! I have an oily face (very oily) and the alcohol within it helps my face stay matte all day. I ran out of foundation and bought 2 different colors so i can mix them together to get the right skin tone. Unfortunately, they don't have my tone so I bought a neutral and warm foundation, because i find that their warm colors too yellow for my skin and their neutrals a bit on a pinkish side. It is very expensive but in my perspective it is worth the money. My reasons are it hides my Fractal Laser Skin Discolorations perfectly, keeps me matte, does not break me out, and it gives me an airbrushed look.

I was using this foundation for about 2 weeks and was loving it .Then I noticed at night when I was removing it my skin seemed really dry.No wonder it's FULL of alcohol.It's fragranced too, so no wonder.It's such a shame because I was really enjoying the soft satin finish and excellent airbrushed look this gave my skin.But alcohol at this level causes cell death and collagen breakdown.No foundation is worth this,so I've stopped using it.This might be ok for occasional use, like a night out, but this is not something I would subject my skin too every day no matter how good it looks.Its so not worth it!I care more about ingredients these days than just how a product makes me look.I'm not 21 anymore(,Ive got to look for products that will improve skin) and even if I were , this would be off limits.

This is my HG foundation. I have tried soooo many foundations(Benefit Hello Flawless, MAC Studio Fix, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12hr, Calvin Klein Infinite Balance Creme to Powder) and NOTHING gives quite as beautiful of a finish as this does. Glowing, dewy, smooth and it is VERY buildable without looking cakey, which is a must for me. I am 250 Bisque(W). During the winters, when I am lighter, I use the Lancôme Dual Finish Versatile Foundation Powder in Matte Amande III over this foundation to set it/mattify and to add a little heavier coverage. During the summer,when I have a tan, I use the Dual Finish in Matte Honey III over it since it is slightly more golden in color. My makeup stays matte, smooth, even and flawless for about 5 hrs before ANY touch ups are needed! Lancôme Teinte Idole Ultra 14hr and Dual Finish Versitile Powder combined are absolutely amazing...if you haven't tried them you NEED TO-ASAP! This foundation does not oxidize, does not settle into pores and also does not show dry patches, it actually feels almost moisturizing! I did take one lippy away just because it is NOT transfer-proof. It gets on my cell and my phone at work and on my boyfriend's shirt and face when I hug/kiss him, which he is not too thrilled about(not his color..lol) Please Lancôme just make this makeup transfer- proof and it will be God's Gift of foundation to women *Cue Angels Singing* !!! :)

I actually wanted to love this foundation because it kept me matte for awhile then, I would look in the mirror and my skin would be more oily than usual. I felt like it clogged my pores and when my skin couldn't breathe it just produced more oil. It also broke my skin out horribly. I know it was the foundation, because once I stopped wearing it my skin returned to normalcy. I hope it works for whoever wants to try it, it has a good formula and coverage.

I've been pretty impressed by the wear on this one. Mattifying-all day. Coverage-most of the day. I've needed to do spot touch ups for pimples and similarly hard to cover spots, the overall wear and evening is pretty good all day. It seems to be a concentrated formula-I only need a dime-sized dollop to cover my whole face. So I'm expecting the bottle to last a while. IMO, it is really expensive, so I am on the fence about repurchasing. But if it is as long lasting as I suspect, it may be worth biting the bullet and putting it in the regular rotation.

I hadn't noticed before how long it takes to scroll a page if you've got several of your posts on it. And it appeared in a thread of someone's I had to resize myself since they refused to acknowledge me.
I wouldn't get too into the details of the pic Zero - people aren't pausing to consider your sig and ponder the universe for more than a second and then never again? It's hardly like people stop and go "Wow, what a work of art" every single time they see it.
Hey man, I'm gonna need that sig resized. Thanks
Awesome to hear man. I'm sure it will be just as good, if not better than last weeks. Well im off to bed

DentaQuest Foundation President on lack of dental coverage
Arielle Stevenson
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Amidst the debate regarding how to mend the health care system, it seems the topic of dental coverage often goes unmentioned. A new report on childrenâs oral health nationwide due out in the next month hints that Florida may be among the worst in the country for dental care resources. Ralph Fuccillo is the president of the DentaQuest Foundation, an organization that works to improve oral health nationwide. He says that historically, dental health wasnât considered part of overall healthcare.
You know for a long time we havenât treated oral health as part of overall health, the oral systemic connection we call it. To help not only consumers, but even the broad scope of health providers appreciate how important oral health to overall health. And the fact that oral disease is 98% preventable.
The split between medical and dental care happened about 150 years ago, says Fuccillo. But recently, research showing that oral health is a part of overall health has made some dental providers change their tune.
The dental care delivery system being outside of medical came about by an act of people deciding that a specialty could be treated one way, and the rest of the body could be treated another way, but it wasnât always this way. And I think that now that there is a greater emphasis on oral health being part of systemic health and having great impact on that, that providers are coming together.
This morning hundreds lined up outside a New Port Richey dental clinic to receive free cleanings, checkups and fillings. The Tampa Tribune reported that over 500 people would be seen throughout the day, and some lined up as early as 9 a.m. Thursday morning. Fuccillo says, donât expect those volunteer dental clinic lines to get shorter anytime soon.
The lines for free care are really, they start in the middle of the night in some states where people have just gone without care for so long. For some people, those volunteer clinics are the first dental appointment that theyâve had in their lifetime.
According to Fuccillo, children whose parents have no insurance of their own do have some options for state funded programs.
And for children that really shouldnât be the case because we have federally-funded programs for Medicaid that is obviously administered at a state by state level. And one of the things that we would be concerned about for instance in the situation in Florida, is that were are only seeing about one third of the children enrolled in Medicaid getting to dental care.
Fuccillo says he would like to get elected officials to attend one of the free health clinics to see how extensive the need for dental care improvement is.
Lets have all of our elected officials, really witness the need and really experience what we see those of us who are concerned and trying to work together on solutions. See firsthand what that looks like and feels like. People are in a lot of pain. In some states there are children in Kindergarten we see children going to school, one in ten of them are in pain from oral health problems.
While a health care solution still seems distant, Fuccillo says that DentaQuest sees a solution in educating the nation in preventative care.
One part of that solution is to focus on oral health as a health issue. It's connected to overall health, and one of the important things is to get that message out. We think to start really basic, to help with that so that people go through their lives not thinking of the cosmetic aspects only of what a smile looks like, but really what is good oral health. And teaching that early in life, engaging parents and educators and really making it a community wide family issue would be terrific.
Education isnât the only part of the solution, says Fuccillo; access to dental care must be at the forefront of the elected officials minds.
We know the access problem is huge. We are part of a national alliance to improve access. Weâve got lots of different stake holders; weâve got dentists, health insurers, public health folks and elected officials. And everyone who is put there energies forward wants to solve this problem. But its not on everyoneâs mind, and weâd like it to be.
Tune in next week to hear how a lack of access to dental care is affecting students at the University of South Florida.comments powered by Disqus

Maggot Flats completed
October 30, 2010 · Filed Under Development, Nairn
The flats by the maggot have been completed a little while now, with the builders removing the last of their equipment from the site over the past few weeks.
Certainly they've been no stranger to controversy, and they looked awful going up over the summer. However, they look a lot better now they are completed. It remains to be seen what they're actual impact on the town will be, though.

Concern for our neighbors and community knows no season. But for many at the Mailman School, the experience of Hurricane Sandy has brought a heightened sense of responsibility and commitment to those in need that continues as we head into the holidays.
Mailman students sprang into action immediately after the storm, which destroyed about 1,000 homes in New York City and disproportionately affected low-income people, people of color, the elderly, and individuals with chronic health conditions. Ben Spoer (MPH '14) and 17 other students trekked to the Rockaways in Queens, where they dropped off much-needed supplies and spent the day clearing debris (see photo). Joshua Kriger (MS '14) volunteered at the Park Slope Armory in Brooklyn, where he reunited a stroke patient evacuated during the storm with his daughter. Chloe Hirshhorn (MPH '14) joined with the volunteer group New York Cares to check-in on people stranded without power in East Village high-rises.
And the help continues. Rebecca Lo (MPH '13), vice president of the Student Government Association, and Samantha Hillson (MPH '13), president of Group for Community Recovery, have joined with the Black and Latino Student Caucus to organize a food drive for residents of storm-torn neighborhoods.
Want to pitch in? Here are ways to participate in helping those affected by Sandy and other neighbors in need during this holiday season.

ADOLESCENCE is a tough time for most, but for San Diego, a city maturing from its carefree youth in blue-sky biotechnology towards the responsibility that comes with a ripening life sciences industry, the growing pains are proving especially difficult to bear.
In June, San Diego experienced the teenage boy's frustration of watching the girl of his dreams walk away with the good-looking college student. In a closely fought contest, the city lost out to San Francisco in its bid to host a major new stem cell research centre, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). San Francisco swayed the judges with its international transport links, greater numbers of biomedical professionals and better facilities. So while San Diego may draw a portion of the $3 billion to be made available for stem cell research in California, much of the formal recognition will land 500 miles to the north.
It's not the first time San Diego has found itself second best. Though local firm IDEC Pharmaceuticals discovered the world's first monoclonal antibody treatment for cancer, Rituxan, San Diego failed to claim all the glory. San Francisco partner Genentech helped bring Rituxan to market, and it now takes the bulk of the revenue from the drug's $1.6 billion in sales last year. San Diego may be a cradle of innovation, goes the common wisdom, but its biotechs need to turn to more established drug firms outside its boundaries to handle development, manufacturing and marketing.
Today the region remains short of drug companies that make money, says Ivor Royston, who co-founded IDEC and now heads Forward Ventures, a San Diego venture-capital firm. "Real products, not just research, but real products that you're selling - that's where San Diego lags behind the Bay Area and the Boston-Cambridge area." Until recently, IDEC was poised to become the region's first independent profitable drug company, but in late 2003 the company merged with Boston-based Biogen. The headquarters ended up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and San Diego lost the limelight.
But the city is coping with its setbacks. It may have some way to go before it can compare with the grown-ups of the US life sciences industry, Boston and San Francisco, but it is learning fast. Manish Chapekar, a venture capitalist at Montreux Equity Partners, which has been involved in some of San Diego's largest venture financings in recent years, says the city's life sciences industry is no longer juvenile. "My impression had always been 'great research, but too early.' Now, it's come around," he says, and San Diego firms are handling work further along the pipeline.
Recent events underline the shift towards maturity. In June a new San Diego drug company that focuses on development and commercialisation rather than research won the biggest first-round financing for a biotechnology firm in US history - $78 million. Meanwhile, firms built on big ideas and blue-sky research in the 1980s and 1990s are now maturing into public companies with products on the market or in late-stage clinical trials. Since stock market prices bottomed out after the free fall in late 2003, San Diego has produced the second-highest number of US initial public offerings (IPOs) after San Francisco.
This coming of age brings with it some of the problems encountered by San Diego's more established rivals in life sciences. One challenge companies now face is recruiting talent - San Diego is becoming an expensive place to live. The median price of a home in the city was $608,300 in May 2005, compared with a California average of $522,590, according to the California Association of Realtors (see Graph). This is less of an issue for companies at an early stage as they are typically founded by local scientists, but Julie Meier Wright, head of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, is worried that more established companies will be tempted to site manufacturing facilities in cheaper emerging life science areas, effectively shipping jobs away. As companies mature, she says, they get better at managing from a distance, and they look for cost-saving options such as outsourcing.
San Diego plans to compete by training workers in biomanufacturing and offering incentives to employees who move to the region. "The only thing that makes any of us feel better is that San Francisco has continued to be competitive in the biotech arena even though their cost of housing is even higher," says Gail Naughton, dean of business at San Diego State University.
But San Diego has other selling points. The high density of companies in the region should encourage executives and researchers from outside to take up jobs there, says Drew Senyei of Enterprise Partners Venture Capital, because even if the original company fails, there will be plenty of other opportunities. The region claims around 500 life sciences companies within a 45-minute drive of one another.
