Cleaner diesel fuel, advanced engines and effective emissions control technology make up a new generation of diesel. It's clean diesel.
What is clean diesel?
What makes it different from regular diesel?
Clean diesel is the new generation of diesel made up of a three-part system that combines cleaner diesel fuel, advanced engines and effective emissions control technology. This new system ensures that clean diesel engines will continue to play a dominant role in the future while helping meet energy security, greenhouse gas and clean air objectives around the world.
Clean diesel fuel - containing 97 percent less sulfur - is now the standard for both on-highway and off-highway diesel engines nationwide. Using this ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) immediately cuts soot emissions from diesel vehicles and equipment by 10 percent. Reducing the sulfur content of diesel fuel is similar to removing lead from gasoline during the 1970s.
Cleaner diesel fuel enables the development of a new generation of advanced engines and emission control devices that can't operate effectively with higher sulfur content in diesel fuel. This three-part clean diesel system enables emissions reductions of over 95 percent from vehicles and equipment.
Why is diesel technology so fuel efficient?
A combination of the energy-rich properties of the fuel, and the efficiency and completeness of the combustion of fuel to create useful mechanical energy. Diesel is a petroleum-based fuel with the highest energy density among transportation fuels - that's more energy per gallon than other alternatives. The U.S. Energy Information Administration states that few transportation fuels surpass the energy density of diesel.
Read DTF's Diesel Fuel Study - Diesel: Fueling the Future in a Green Economy.
Diesel is the world's most efficient internal combustion engine. It provides more power and more fuel efficiency than alternatives such as gasoline, compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas. Read more about the history of the diesel engine.
Fuel combustion is the primary difference between gasoline and diesel engines. Gasoline engines ignite fuel with spark plugs, whereas diesels ignite fuel with compression. Inside the engine, the combustion of air and fuel takes place under pressure and heat created by compressing the air-fuel mixture so intensely that it combusts spontaneously, releasing energy, that is transmitted to powering the wheels on a vehicle, the piston's motion and creating mechanical energy.
Advanced new technologies such as electronic controls, common rail fuel injection, variable injection timing, improved combustion chamber configuration and turbocharging have made diesel engines cleaner, quieter and more powerful than past vehicles.
Introduction of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels for both on- and off-road applications has been a central part of the new clean diesel system designed to meet near zero emissions standards. With the introduction of lower sulfur diesel fuel, a number of exhaust treatment systems such as particulate filters, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), selective catalyst reduction (SCR) and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) can further reduce emissions from diesel engines. The installation of various emission control technologies may also improve emissions from older diesel engines through retrofit capabilities. Read more about retrofit capabilities to reduce emissions from older vehicles and equipment.

Effects of Technology on Education
Technology is used in classrooms today and has both positive and negative effects on both students and teachers. I want to show in my paper how technology is not a substitute for a good teacher. Technology must be well implanted by a good teacher to be successful. Computers do not give successful teaching. I start out by discussing the positive effects on teachers and students, in my paper. I then debate the use of technology and its effects on traditional teaching methods. Lastly, I concluded with negative impacts technology has on the teachers and the students. By doing this, I will show while technology is important it is only a tool to educating students. It is not the solution to educating students.
Today technology is commonly used in classrooms. Teachers use technology such as: computers, smart boards, calculators, virtual field trips, e-books, and online learning to reach all of their students. Many students rely on technology to learn new information, but then become too dependent on that technology. The traditional methods of teaching are now integrated with technology, making some traditional methods obsolete. Traditional methods such as direct instruction, focusing on learning styles, and using teaching strategies still need to be used in the classroom. These methods help students create a foundation for life-long learning. Technology cannot replace teachers and good teaching strategies. Without a strong educational foundation, students will fall behind not only in school but in life also. Technology is a tool in developing the future of our students, but it must be implemented and balanced by a good teacher. There are many benefits of technology in schools for teachers. Technology also helps teachers easily keep track of grades and have access to lesson plans that are made easier by computers (Jamil & Shah, 2011). Technology also helps teachers...

Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood, In Your Neighborhood, In YOUR Neighborhood?
Today Abilene and I went for a walk in our neighborhood. There weren't too many people around, but we found some flowers!
Signs of Spring are starting to emerge everywhere in Houston!
The bees were busy helping this tree!
A little rain doesn't have to keep you inside!
Abilene found this random box on somebody's curb.
Did they think that someone else would sort their recycling?
Someone stuck their Coke bottle into this tree. We wondered why…
What did the tree ever do to them?
In our neighborhood today, the moss seemed to be growing…
Abilene checked the roots…
…the roots were strong!
The mud was muddy…
And Spring is on it's way!
Who are the people in your neighborhood?

This is very sweet: how often we don't notice what is right around us, although children can show us!
How nice to walk in the rain! The flowers seem even brighter than on a sunny day!! They remind us to be thankful for little blessings in the middle of dreary times.
p.s. Who would put a Coke bottle in a tree?

Date Added: May 2012
Format: PDF
European Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) organizations have similar needs for communications. A common network for PPDR creates synergy and makes interoperability possible. This paper presents a new highly redundant and secure data communications network solution for Public Safety Communications (PCS). The solution is decentralized and communications paths are redundant. Even if the network layer is shared with different users or different use purposes all communications remains secured and access controlled. Distributed Systems intercommunication Protocol (DSiP) offers all of these features in a single solution.

Tips to give your child a sporting chance to play ball!
Your 4-year-old gravitates to gymnastics, your 8-year-old is smitten with soccer and your 11-year-old is fascinated by football. Encourage them to play! But do so with caution. Not every sport is appropriate for every age, so it's important to select one that is safe and suited to your child.
Finding the fit
In fact, 50 percent of boys and 25 percent of girls between ages 8 and 16 play organized sports, yet 70 percent of them drop out by age 13. Why? Because they become discouraged with a game that is inappropriate and frustrating. "Sports need to be fun and well-supervised," says Barbara Long, MD, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC who has a specialization in sports medicine."Don't expect 6- or 8-year-olds to play organized games. Ever see 8-year-olds play soccer? It's 'herd football.' The kids just follow the ball around. They aren't yet at a level to strategize team plays."
Be aware of coordination requirements."If your young child is discouraged because she can't set up or return a volleyball, look for another activity or noncompetitive team," Dr. Long says. Consider these sports and the coordination and skills needed:
- Baseball: Children begin to learn to toss and catch the ball between 3–5, but don't consider it as a team sport until between 5–9. Baseball doesn't require much endurance, but it requires moderate strength and hand/eye coordination.
- Basketball: This sport is okay as a social game, but kids under age 11 usually can't hit the high basket. Basketball requires good endurance and a high skill level.
- Football: Contact football generally is not dangerous because the children's light weights don't generate a lot of force during collisions. Kids need some endurance, moderate strength, speed and appropriate hand/eye coordination. Football is a complex set of skills and kids may not be ready for organized teams until at least 10.
- Soccer: Children begin to learn to kick the ball between 3–5. They need good endurance and should learn the basic skills of kicking and dribbling before starting organized competition.
Make safety a priority
In all sports with preadolescent children, the emphasis should be placed on having fun and building skills rather than competition. Before puberty, it's okay for boys and girls to compete against one another, but adolescence is time for gender separation. This is when the gap between weight and strength widens, making coed sports more dangerous.
Get to know the coaches. Both parents and coaches need to make sure that the activity is developmentally appropriate, allows all children to participate, builds skills and is fun. This will help your child succeed on and off the field.
A sports physical is a good idea to ensure your child is physically able to play. The doctor will check the heart and lungs, examine the musculoskeletal system and can provide information about age-appropriate activities.
If you need help finding a physician for your child, call 412-692-7337.

Let March be the month you set your Lifestyle Resolution. Release any New Year's resolutions you may have set for yourself and focus on the positive steps you can begin to make. The premise behind the Lifestyle Resolution is deciding to make a conscious decision to improve your health and vitality for the long term through a gradual transition and overall lifestyle change. Below are some simple techniques that will guide you through this exciting journey of transformation!
1) Set reasonable goals and timelines. Be patient. Your body and health did not get this way over night and no matter what you read or see advertised on TV, there is no such thing as a quick fix or miracle pill. Diet programs that promise instant results are impossible to sustain in the long-term and are usually not health promoting. An easy way to start is by increasing the amount of fresh fruits and veggies you eat daily, while reducing your intake of processed and fast foods.
2) Crowd out, don't just eliminate foods. Gradually, transition your eating habits by making sure to add new healthy alternatives for any non-ideal foods you would like to stop eating. This way, you will not end up feeling deprived and frustrated with minimal or tasteless meal options. For example, if you want to stop eating dairy, try the different varieties of nut, rice and coconut milks available. During the hot summer months, I love to try the array of coconut and nut-based ice creams you can find in most grocery stores by brands such as, Coconut Bliss and Organic Nectars.
3) Keep your body hydrated. It is important to realize that the human brain is about 85% water and even with mild dehydration you will develop feelings of fatigue. Drinking an adequate amount of water also aids in weight loss by suppressing your appetite and reducing excess sodium. Therefore, let water be the first thing you put in your body each morning and allow yourself to start the day off fresh and clear headed. My trick is to keep a full glass of water by my bed at night, so when I wake up in the morning it is there waiting for me.
4) Stay wise to health food gimmicks. Don't allow yourself to be fooled by the no fat, low sugar, zero calorie so-called healthy foods and snacks that fill the grocery shelves. These foods are packed with chemicals, artificial flavors, and hidden sugars that leave you feeling unsatisfied. The empty calories and lack of nutritional elements cause your body to crave more and you to eat an excess amount. If you are craving something sweet, eating the proper portion of the 'real thing' such as dark chocolate or even a cup cake is better than polishing off a box off fat free cookies with NO taste.
5) Hold space for the inner being and spirituality within you. Allow meditation to become part of your daily routine. Dedicating just five minutes a day will help improve your outlook and perspective on life. Meditating allows you to clear your mind of negative thoughts and experiences and allows your intuition to guide you. There are many free-guided meditations available on the web and iTunes. Some great ones to try are from my personal life coach, Gabrielle Bernstein as well as Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra.
So, throw away your scales and the belief that you will have to start counting calories and fat grams. The ultimate objective should be about feeling good inside and out!

Toni, I love this article, and we know that a healthy life style lead to feeling andliving better.
Toni, Thank you for this article – I just stared the program P90X and like your point #1 Set reasonable goals and timelines and #2 crowd out, don't just eliminate foods!!

Great article Toni! I've worked as a personal trainer for 8yrs and everything in your article I've found to be absolutely true. The people that are able to obtain the best results are the ones who made "life-style changes." Also,I have been fighting the fight against "low-fat" junk food for years. Unfortunately I'm not as good at marketing as the ones who produce those products : ) Great job.
Andrea March 8, 2010 at 8:03 PM Reply
Toni – Great article! After many discussions with you, I am working on changing little things and have added exercise/meditation into my daily routine. I'm proud of you sis!
Great article Toni! I love the tips easy to incorporate into my daily lifestyle. This article is right on time in my life

Hi Toni,
I am so impressed with your article and subscribe to everything you have to say! I am amazed especially because it took me so many (50) years to know these truths and yet you say them so eloquently! I must repeat how important it is to keep oneself hydrated–as you so rightly point out in your article. (As we speak, my dog Roofus is hydrating himself from the toilet bowl…where are his manners?!…) Good for you Toni, for your ability to shed some light on the subject of good nutrition and your common sense approach. Love, Aunt Jan
Gina Rossi March 14, 2010 at 11:37 PM Reply
Hi Toni,
I love your article, the subject is so timely with so many different products out there that do promise to make you shed the pounds. I find the same is true about water, I love water and keeping it near your bed is a great idea, it's so refreshing and it keeps your skin soft. The part about meditation is something I need to work on because I carry so much anxiety, thanks for the tips, great work Toni. Love Gina

I continue to come back to this article every once in a while when I'm feeling overwhelmed about how to manage eating right with the million things I'm always trying to do. I eat constantly, so the tip about crowding out bad food with other healthier food is key for me. If I just tried to eliminate the bad food without paying careful attention to replacing it I'd be famished and vulnerable to whatever unhealthy snacks were around me!
Thanks again for all the great tips, Toni. I look forward to reading more!
Great article, Toni! I especially liked the beginning where you stated that our bodies did not become the way they are now overnight. Therefore, we must be patient in the process. I think sometimes we can get caught up in trying to get thin or lose weight for a specific occasion, instead of aiming for optimal health everyday. I thank you for writing this article to help people realize that this is a lifestyle resolution, not just for one year! Thank you!
I just wanted to thank everyone for your amazing comments and feedback! It brings me such joy to hear that you are benefiting from the articles and inspires me to find other helpful topics and tips to share with you! Hope you are all enjoying the summer – Toni

Anyone who recommends throwing out the scales gets a big ol thumbs up from me! Good tips:)

Lets have a chit chat!
It can get quite lonesome at the peer advising table sometimes, so next time you're about to enter or leave 260 Muldford and have a few minutes, stop by and say "Hi." We don't have to talk about school-related topics, there are so many other things to talk about. For example, have you gone to Cinnaholic yet? It's that cute little vegan bake shop on Oxford St. near Center St...If you haven't, then you should definitely try them, they're delicious (and don't forget to show your student id for a discount!). You guessed it, I'm a total food junkie! I'm on the hunt for a good falafal place, so if you know of one, please stop by my advising hours on Thursdays from 1-3 and let me know.
Anyway, back to school-related topics. Are you considering being a PAL? If you are, this is the perfect reason that you should talk to us! I mean, you wouldn't apply to med school without never shadowing a doctor, right? We're here to help and give you information about the things that we're involved in. On another note, Are you studying abroad this Summer or Fall or plan to in the future? I'll be studying in Rome this Fall and am currently undergoing the process. I'm doing this the unconventional way...I'll be taking part in the graduation ceremony next month, but decided to take the extra semester to study abroad. I always knew this was something I had to do, I just left it to the last possible minute, but I guess that really doesn't matter. Well, next time you're near 260 Muldford stop by and chat for a bit or at least give us a smile :) I hope you all have a wonderful remainder of the week!

This letter pertains to the Alcovy High School principal who is suing the John Doe posters. My letter is short. The only horse I have in this is the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment. The First Amendment gives us freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom to assemble. If you take these freedoms away what would we become?
China and the former Soviet Union didn't have these freedoms; Iraq under the former dictator didn't have these freedoms. Would we be more like them?
Our forefathers also gave us separation of powers:The judicial, the legislative and the executive branches. The judicial arm has no authority to make or change the law. I hope our judges understand this as they take this case on. This should not matter whether you are a liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, black or white. These freedoms are important because they are freedoms for everyone.

Very nicely put Dennis. And your right it doesn't matter who you are you are intitled to free speech. I love that.
ShannonBlack 3 years, 4 months ago
This is all really funny and amazing. I have rec'd so many calls on this Carpenter woman who called me (one of her defendants teehee). She is claiming these 3 people are Amp72. HA. I know who Amp72 is as they called and told me ( I WILL NEVER TELL - I PLEAD THE 5th) but this is really funny. Go chase an ambulance lady.
amp72 3 years, 4 months ago
Well then someone is pretending to be me because I never called you! I might eventually call you or send you a message but no, I did not call you. I would be interested to hear who that person is though!
Calisweetheart 3 years, 4 months ago
Ah so a pattern emerges. She seeks to find who says what rather than fix what they say which is verified online, in papers, in police records about the safety at her high school. So Judget this is not who I thought it was so let's take her out of this but I think it is this person so can we add him and she says things that sound like a blog or walk like a blog or talk like a blog so can I add these 2 and take out 3 more and release this one and make a phone call to that one? Can I sue this one too? Can we add new names to the suit and can I add more comments since I made the public mad? Can I just have all the power to do whatever I want and jerk around the schools and the court cause you know I'm trying really hard to cover my nepotism and my hubby's business with Dr. Sams while he supervised his and my budget as principals. Please?
Kodaanddylansmom 3 years, 4 months ago
So which board member is not stable. The chair? That would be my vote - based on my opinion of course.
amp72 3 years, 4 months ago
Apparently I am the talk of Tiger Town lately. There are many theories as to my identity. Am I a parent? Am I a current employee? Am I a former employee? Am I a member of the NCSS Board of Education? Am I an employee in the central office? Am I Clark Kent? Am I Iron Man? You know what, who cares???? And some claim I am the one who is obsessed. If the energy spent on finding out our identities were spent on fixing problems in our schools then we would have multiple Blue Ribbon schools.
But it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is word gets out about what is going on in our schools and how the current situation is broken, but not beyond repair. What's important is that current and former employees are being treated poorly because they have the nerve to do what they are REQUIRED to do by state law, which is report problems in our schools. We need people with the courage to stand up for what is right, roll up their sleeves, and confront the REAL issues. Currently we have too few who are willing and able to do so. Don't kill the messenger (me). Instead, heed the message. Kudos to you Mr. Dennis Taylor. And ladies and gentlemen, do not stop contacting the central office, the superintendent, the newspapers, and anyone else who can bring attention to these matters.
ShannonBlack 3 years, 4 months ago
Amp I looked back at notes and it was Henrycounselor that I was thinking about earlier. That is not any of the people she thinks it is based on the sources in the school. Amp give me a call or anyone who has good tips give me a call and we chat and I personally make it gets into the newton citizen. Give me a call at 678 315-4971. You may have to leave a message cause I work very odd hours.

So the latest buzz from here in Tiger Town is that 92% of the sophomore class failed the Math End of Course Test. I really hope that is not true because if it is then obviously something is not working. Oh, and there was another fight today. "Suspected" gang members jumped another student. But of course, there are no gangs at Alcovy. Right?
Freshvoice2012 3 years, 4 months ago
It is true about the math and it is true about the fight. However evrybody knows that AHS is perfect and nothing is going on their. SUPPOSEDLY. So someone help me out what is happening then? Not what should be.

I have a problem. My antivirus (Norton) says that some files .dll of the crack are malicious trojan and blocks and deletes the file directly also before the extraction … so for me it is impossible to put the files in the right folder to run the game. Would be possible to create another type of system for making possible to install direclty the crack so that my antivirus will not recognize as dangerous files for the PC and let me install the crack for run the game?

The Cove—the Tragedy Continues.
There's been hype, but has there really been enough to change anything?
If you haven't yet seen 'The Cove' then I advise you to take a look at the trailer below and then see the movie. It will shock you beyond belief. The brutal murder of whales and dolphins that goes on in our waters is unimaginable to most of us but if it hadn't been for ex Dolphin trainer Rick O'Barry would we ever have noticed?
You decide.

This was a very hard film to watch – it was very hard to understand how humans can be so cruel, so misled in so many ways.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention Indra.
Any kind of unnecessary slaughter in never justified
The sooner this barbaric activites stop the better.
Thank you for the input… SO TRUE
Thank you for bringing attention to the tragedy of the Cove. I love dolphins and it is not a new-agey thing. I used to live in Florida where I loved watching the wild porpoises. My heart goes out to the dolphins when I read this sort of horrendous treatment of them. I hope people will visit: http://savejapandolphins.org/ and take action. You have it in the article too — wonderful!
[…] a more sobering look at dolphins, there's The Cove—a documentary I'm afraid to watch because I know it will break my heart. Hell, I […]

Audio Transcript
Grantee Research Project Results
EPA's Sustainable Design Competition Winner - Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MUSIC: "Science Works" theme music
LACAPRA: Welcome to EPA's "Science Works," a podcast about how the EPA uses science to meet its mission to protect your health and environment. From "Science Works" at EPA, I'm Véronique LaCapra.
In this podcast, we'll meet one of the winning teams from this year's P3 student design competition. P3 stands for people, prosperity and the planet, and students from any U.S. college or university can participate. EPA sponsors the competition to challenge students to work together in interdisciplinary teams, to design and build sustainable technologies that improve quality of life, promote economic development, and protect the environment.
This team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a new kind of solar power generator, to replace diesel generators in areas of the world that don't have access to an electrical power grid. MIT team member Matt Orosz explains that instead of photovoltaic panels, their generator uses curved mirrors:
OROSZ: "Large mirrors that are in the form of a parabola, and those basically are just big solar concentrators, they just collect the sunlight and they focus it all down onto a pipe, and in that pipe we're circulating a heat-transfer fluid, and then we send that to our engine where we make the electricity."
LACAPRA: The system is based on the same technology used in large parabolic trough power plants.
OROSZ: "We've scaled down that technology and we've developed our own heat-engine technology to work with it, so the heat from the sunlight is actually used to mechanically convert into electricity, and we also recover some of the waste heat for hot water production. So it makes electricity and hot water."
LACAPRA: The MIT team established contacts in the southern African country of Lesotho, where they have already tested two preliminary models of the generator.
OROSZ: "We've worked with about seven technicians and engineers there that we're training, and we have a partnership with the government and the national university…"
LACAPRA: Orosz hopes the solar generator will be used to provide power to rural health clinics:
OROSZ: "We're more or less looking at the health clinics, the rural off-grid health clinics, as the sort of primary target for this kind of technology in the next couple years. There's about 170 in Lesotho alone, that are off the grid."
LACAPRA: Orosz says the MIT solar generator is less polluting and less expensive than one run on diesel, and that local people can build it in Lesotho using locally-available materials:
OROSZ: "So it's just, you know, steel, aluminum, car parts, air conditioner parts, and they get reassembled into this solar thermal generator."
LACAPRA: I caught up with Matt Orosz again at the P3 awards ceremony, where EPA Acting Science Advisor Kevin Teichman announced the winning teams:
TEICHMAN: "Our third P3 award goes to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for a Novel Solar Thermal Combined Cycle with Bio-Methane Carbon Capture for Distributed Power Generation." [APPLAUSE]
LACAPRA: Orosz says winning means he and his team will have to work that much harder on the next phase of their project.
OROSZ: "I mean we're already going to work really hard, but […] we have this responsibility now to really make the most out of this and to take this technology that we're working on as far as we can to help as many people as possible."

Brew Dog Dogma
Our latest beer to arrive from BrewDog is Dogma. This crazy beer is brewed with guarana, poppy seeds and kola nut all blended together with Scottish heather honey. A conspiracy of transcontinental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.
Dogma was originally named Speedball after it's unique concotion of stimulants and depressants. The Kola Nut and Guruana are stimulants and the hops and poppy depressants. The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) however nixed the name Speedball quite quickly. So, upon U.S. soil it is now called Dogma. If you don't get the name change think about it for a while (oh, and don't forget to vote).
Only 60 bottles of Dogma arrived at The Bayou's so don't wait too long to give it a try.

As nail art enthusiasts, we recognize that our nail polish addiction runs deep. We show all of the signs of a lacquer lover and we see many of the objects in our daily lives as potential nail art tools. Any trick that can help us master a color-block manicure or animal-print accent nail is worth a try in our book, and even if we think we couldn't possibly make our nails look any better, there are tools that can at least speed the process along. You may be sitting in your house right now thinking, "What could I possibly use to create more unique nail designs?" Well, stop looking and keep reading, because we're taking the guess work out of the equation and sharing with you five household items that will change your nail game forever.
1. Craft Scissors — So you've been using scissors and tape to create just about every look under the sun, but what if you didn't need to slowly cut each design out of your tape? Craft scissors are something most of us DIYers have on hand and with the variation of patterns (from wave to lightning), you'll have an instant design to dress up the tip of your nail. It's the new take on the French tip, and you'll be trailblazing the trend.
2. Pencil Eraser — Create your own nail stamps, whether you're using an actual yellow No. 2 pencil or a block eraser. Say goodbye Bundle Monster and hello to customizable designs by simply cutting a shape or pattern out of the eraser. We're thinking little arrows, or for the upcoming holiday, Easter eggs to be placed on each nail.
3. A Drinking Straw — A cut-off straw and a bit of lung power and you can create a splatter manicure that is worthy of nail envy. Simply cut the straw fairly short, dip into a dab of polish and blow on the other end. You can also try this with a toothbrush, but we can't promise your post-manicure clean-up will be as effortless.
4. Bobby Pin — It shouldn't be a surprise that we think a dotting tool is the bee's knees when it comes to the perfect manicure. The dotted fade has been worn on our nails more times than we can count. But when in a pinch or hanging out with a friend who isn't as well-versed in the polish world, use a bobby pin as your tool. Straighten the pin out and then dab the end into your lacquer and dot away!
5. Plastic Wrap — The product's intention is to keep your food fresh, but it will likely do the same thing to your nails in an entirely different way. Use plastic wrap almost like a sponge and dab various colors across your nail for the easiest of all designs: marbled nails. It's also one of the quickest-to-use tools for a pretty and perfect nail design.
What household items have you used to create new nail designs? Share with us in the comments below!

If you're having serious problems with your spouse, a divorce might seem like the only way to split off and protect your finances. However, a legal separation may offer the same protection as a divorce and in some cases works out better. There are personal and financial benefits to consider when determining which is right for you, so let's examine both options.
A legal separation is like putting your marriage on hold. Typically, both spouses move to different homes and start living separate lives. A legal separation is more formal than just moving apart though. You would need to get a court to approve your decision and put together a legal separation agreement. This is an agreement that divides property, sets an arrangement for raising your children, and ends the financial connection you have to your spouse.
A divorce actually ends your marriage. Beyond this major difference, a divorce is quite similar to a legal separation. You would need to get a court to approve this decision and come up with an agreement that divides property and figures out the plan for your children. Since divorce and legal separation are pretty similar, they usually cost about the same and take around the same amount of time to process.
Couples might choose a legal separation over divorce for both personal and financial reasons.
In other situations, it might make more sense to choose a divorce.
It is important to note that not all states allow legal separations. In these states, you'd need a divorce to financially split off from your spouse.
There are key differences between legal separation and divorce. And while we've outlined some of them above, only your financial advisor or lawyer can truly advise you on what would be best for you. We hope this article helps you have a more informed conversation as you work through your personal situation.

The new all-in-one personal computer from Acer may leave people nonplussed, as it is fairly small and bereft of any special features. Granted, it is a business-oriented system, so that could be understandable, but Acer could arguably have done better.
The screen is the first thing that could make browsers frown. While the LED backlighting is normal enough, and the widescreen aspect ratio is the standard, the resolution leaves something to be desired.
Long story short, the screen is a 1600 x 900 panel – not as low-quality as HD (1366 x 768 pixels), but a step below Full HD (1920 x 1080) which, itself, has started being criticized.
Spec-wise, an Intel Pentium G645 processor (2.9GHz) is backed by 4GB DDR3 SDRAM (upgradeable to 8GB) and a 500 GB SATA HDD.
Gigabit Ethernet and wireless 802.11 b/g/n WiFi are present as well, complete with Wake-on-Lan and support for remote shutdown.
Two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a multi-card reader and a SuperMulti optical drive are part of the feature list as well.
"The Veriton Z2650G is an excellent choice for organizations looking to conserve space and costs with a sleek chassis and time-saving management tools," said Leila Axelle Robert, Acer commercial systems business manager.
"Our newest AIO is easy to set-up, deploy and manage with a simple all-in-one design, wake-on LAN support and a user-friendly utility suite for streamlining everyday IT tasks."
Acer fashioned the Veriton Z2650G-UG645X with a completely black case and will agree to install Windows 8 or Windows 7 Professional on it.
The simple keyboard and mouse bundled with the system have the same color. Everything business users may need, including video web calls (via a 1MP webcam), can be done on it.
Sales are already underway, worldwide, for $629.99, which is 492 Euro according to exchange rates. Knowing how little they matter though, the probability is much higher that European retailers will want 629.99 Euro.

Outdoor sculptors return on Saturday
What: "Celebration: 30 Years of Outdoor Sculpture in Abilene" and
"Reunion Sculpture Exhibition: 30 Years Revisited" art exhibits
When: 5:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, Opening Reception
Where: The Center for Contemporary Arts, 220 Cypress St.
How much: Free
What do a friendly dinosaur, a giant pair of sneakers and a cow skull have in common?
Each represents a different artist who has taken part in the Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition sometime in the past 30 years.
For the past three decades, Texas artists have delivered their sculptures to Abilene and planted them in the hard West Texas dirt. On Saturday, nearly all the artists who ever participated in the exhibition will descend on Abilene once again to mark its 30th anniversary.
They won't arrive empty-handed.
Lynn Barnett, executive director for the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council, not only invited all past Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition artists to take part in "Celebration: 30 Years of Outdoor Sculpture in Abilene," she asked them to bring a smaller piece of work to display in a companion exhibit, "Reunion Sculpture Exhibition: 30 Years Revisited," at The Center for Contemporary Arts.
The reunion exhibit boasts 51 individual works and is so large that it has been expanded to the nearby Abilene Christian University Downtown Gallery.
"It was really fun to invite all our sculptors," Barnett said. "The pieces vary from kind of whimsical to very architectural or kind of conceptual."
Barnett said the joint exhibit allows her to work with one of her favorite people — her daughter, Paris Barnett, who is the gallery manager at The Center for Contemporary Arts.
"It's been so fun working with Paris and the CCA on this project," she said, adding that Paris likes creating 3D art herself and took classes from several of the participating sculptors when she studied at Texas Christian University. "It adds another great dimension to the reunion exhibition."
Paris Barnett shares her mother's feelings about working together.
"It's a blast," she wrote in an e-mail. "It's nice that she's a seasoned pro at this stuff and that my abilities allow me to add a new fresh light."
The artists for the indoor exhibit were given size specifications, nothing larger than 3-by-3-by-6 feet. Some of the art measures precisely that size, while others are less than a foot square. Materials range from pennies to limestone to steel to sticks to plaster.
The outside exhibit pieces aren't limited to those smaller dimensions. The artists presenting works for the 30th Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition include James Surls, who is curating the exhibit, Laura Scandrett, Sherry Owens, George Tobolowsky, Tai Pomara, Charmaine Locke and Tara Conley.
Surls, who was one of the artists in the first outdoor exhibition 30 years ago, received the council's invitation to curate the outside exhibit, but had to think about it before accepting.
"I had to think who I was going to ask to do it," he said. "There's always a reality level to big sculpture. It's more difficult than say watercolors, where you don't need mechanics, trucks and trailers; you don't need all the construction equipment. Sculpture costs the most to make, to transport, to crate and load. Every issue with art is multiplied by 10 with sculpture."
His recent exhibit, "James Surls: From the Heartland," was at The Grace Museum from April through August and displayed 21 of his works.
Surls said Texas has a terrific museum system, including a number of first-tier locations, such at the Dallas Museum of Art. But it's the secondary-level museums that offer young artists a place to show their work.
Thirty years ago when he was a young artist, Surls jumped at the chance to include one of his pieces in the first exhibit.
"It was a big deal for me and for a lot of other artists."
Jill Bedgood, an Austin sculptor, took part in the 1997 exhibition.
"Pilgrimage: Transformation" featured 25 cast-concrete pieces that looked like open books and were embedded into the earth. Each book featured a recessed area with a substance that corresponded to a specific word at the bottom of each book that referenced life's journey. The book reading "Temptation" had gold dust, "Pilgrimage" had clay, and "Create" had powdered graphite.
She remembers installing the 25-piece work back in 1997.
"It's not easy to exhibit outside in Abilene. It's very, very hot and the earth is very hard," she said with a laugh.
Her piece for the reunion show, "Land Mine and Poppy," also includes cast concrete, along with a faux poppy flower. The bright red flower growing out of a cement land mine is a jarring and thought-provoking image.
"I think the artists often challenge the community, from a social or political perspective," Bedgood said.
Though she said she is pleased to be part of the exhibit, she's looking forward to something else as well.
"For me, it's more about getting together with the other artists from the state that you know and don't often get to visit with," Bedgood said.
Another returning artist, Bob Wade, has the distinction of creating a piece that later became the center of controversy in 2008. Wade crafted the popular Dino Bob, a city landmark that had some Abilenians up in arms when an anonymous complaint almost led to his permanent removal.
Wade's piece for the reunion show, Party Iguana and His Frog Band, is quite a bit smaller than Bob and isn't expected to cause any disruptions.
"It's like a little celebration of the sculpture event," Wade said. He said the piece is site-specific and timely. "I tend to address that, rather than something that has no meaning or is abstract."
