The Dangers of Nitrate in Your Drinking Water
A clean, safe supply of drinking water is essential to good public health. In this country we are so accustomed to a safe, plentiful supply of water that we sometimes ignore possible threats to that water supply until they become public health problems.
One such threat to public health comes from nitrate contamination. High concentrations of nitrate in drinking water can cause a life-threatening condition in infants called methemoglobinemia. This can be particularly dangerous to children less than 6 months old and pregnant women, if nitrate levels exceed 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L). Methemoglobinemia is caused when nitrates (from contaminated water) reduce the blood's ability to carry oxygen. This illness is referred to as "blue baby syndrome" because it causes a blue tint in the infant's skin due to the lack of oxygen in the blood and tissue within their body. Because of that potential health-risk, people should have their well water tested for excess nitrate levels before using that water to prepare infant formula. Pregnant women should also avoid drinking water that is contaminated with nitrates.
In areas where nitrate contamination is a problem, wells should be tested regularly, because the quality of well water can deteriorate abruptly due to drought, heavy rainstorms, flash flooding or spring thaws. An application of nitrogen fertilizer, followed by rain, can also produce a rapid change in local water quality. It is important to note that simply boiling your water that has high levels of nitrate will not reduce the nitrate levels, and in fact may actually increase the nitrate concentration in your water.
Although nitrate in drinking water is not normally considered harmful to older children or adults, its presence indicates that other disease causing contaminants may be present. Common potential sources of contamination include: improperly located or constructed sewage treatment systems, refuse dumps, animal wastes, chemical storage or disposal sites and agricultural fertilizers and chemicals. If your well has been contaminated with excessive nitrate, you have several options, but your first step should be to immediately stop drinking the contaminated water. You can either choose to eliminate the source of the contamination, find a new water source or purchase a removal system. Wells that are no longer in use should be properly closed and abandoned in order to avoid contaminating the aquifer.
Scott County has made arrangements with a lab that is certified by the Minnesota Department of Health to provide testing services. If you have any questions, or are interested in purchasing a water test kit, please call our office at 952-496-8475 or see How to Order a Well Water Test Kit on the left side of this page.

|Ok, looking further in Series I Volume 3 of Official records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion I found a report from a Jacob Thompson to Confederate Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin that mentions both the Greek fire used in the NYC plot and the steamer Georgian. This time the report in question is a bit long (it runs from page 714 to 719) so I'm not going to repost the full thing. Here, however, from pages 717 and 718, is the paragraph discussing the two:
Previous to the arrival of Lieutenant-Colonel Martin and Lieutenant Headly, bringing an unsigned note from you, all the different places where our prisoners are confined---Camp Douglas, Rock Island, Camp Morton, Camp Chase, Elmira---had been thoroughly examined, and the conclusion was forced upon us that all efforts to release them without an outside cooperation would bring disaster upon the prisoners and result in no good. All projects of that sort were abandoned, except at Camp Douglas, where Captain Hines still believed he could effect their release. We yielded to his firmness, zeal, and persistence, and his plans were plausible, but treachery defeated him before his well-laid schemes were developed. Having nothing else on hand, Colonel Martin expressed a wish to organize a corps to burn New York City. He was allowed to do so, and a most daring attempt has been made to fire that city; but their reliance on the Greek fire has proved a misfortune; it can not be depended on as an agent in such work. I have no faith whatever in it, and no attempt shall hereafter be made under my general directions with any such materials. I knew nothing whatever of the raid on St. Albans [Vt.] until after it transpired. Desiring to have a boat on whose captain and crew reliance could be placed, and on board which arms could be sent to convenient points for arming such vessels as could b seized for operations on the Lakes, I aided Dr. James T. Bates, of Kentucky, an old steamboat captain, in the purchase of the steamer Georgian. She had scarcely been purchased whe the story went abroad that she had been purchased and armed for the purpose of sinking the Michigan, releasing the prisoners on Johnson's Islnd, and destroying the shipping on the Lakes and the cities on their margin. The wildest consternation prevailed in all the border cities. At Buffalo two tugs had cannon placed on board; four regiments of soldiers were sent there---two of them represented to have been drawn from the Army of Virginia; bells were rung at Detroit, and churches broken up on Sunday. The whole lake shore was a scene of wild excitement. Boats were sent out, which boarded the Georgian and found nothing contraband on board; but still the people were incredulous
Ok so I'm going to have to check Van Doren Stern's book and see if I misspelled the name, but I believe Headly and Headley are the same person. Reading this it sounds to me like the burning of NYC wasn't a backup plan but rather it was developed after it was determined the initial plan of breaking the POWs out of the prison camps was deemed unattainable (to my way of thinking a backup plan is developed before you try carrying out the main plan so that if the main plan has to be abandoned you have something to fall back on). It is interesting that Thompson says Greek fire is unreliable and would not be used in any future operations under his directions. This does jive with some of the sources I posted earlier on how dependable the substance was. Which brings up two things. First it shows how desperate things were if folks were willing to rely on something that wasn't that reliable. Second it begs the question of if it was known to be unreliable then why was anyone willing to ok it's use despite the desperate situations without trying to make it more reliable first?
The other thing about this report is that it seems to answer the sub-enclosure of the previous letter concerning Greek fire and the Georgian. From the sounds of this in connection with that, it sounds like the Greek fire was never meant for use with the Georgian but was meant for the NYC plot.

Legislation to aid law enforcement proposed on shootings' anniversary
November 29, 2012
By Staff
NEW — 4 p.m. Nov. 29, 2012
U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert introduced legislation Thursday — three years to the day after a gunman killed four Lakewood police officers at a coffee shop — to improve information sharing among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Reichert, a former King County sheriff and Auburn Republican, joined another Washington lawmaker, U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, to introduce the Department of Justice Global Advisory Committee Authorization Act.
Investigators determined the killer in the Lakewood shootings, Maurice Clemmons, was a convicted felon on parole and the relevant information was not effectively transmitted to proper authorities.
"As a former cop and sheriff, I know that the more information law enforcement agents have, the better they can do their jobs," Reichert said in a statement. "This bill will improve communication among members of law enforcement and enhance the security of communities across the country."
The legislation aims to continue to provide technical and financial support for the Global Advisory Committee. The bill adds a requirement for the attorney general to issue a report to Congress detailing the committee's review and suggestions to improve data sharing.
The committee consists of more than 30 representatives from law enforcement and criminal justice organizations, and advises the attorney general on how to improve best practices and information sharing within the law enforcement community.
"When the lives of cops and citizens are at stake, law enforcement officers must have all available information at their disposal so that they may effectively serve and protect the well-being of those citizens who count on them every day and to safeguard their colleagues," Reichert said.
Reichert represents Issaquah and communities from Auburn to Wenatchee. Redistricting last year shifted Newcastle into the Tacoma Democrat's district.
"Information sharing between all levels of law enforcement plays a critical role in keeping our nation safe," Smith said in a statement. "This bill can only help move that process forward."

If you've ever tried to nail down a hard answer on this subject, you're probably already familiar with the wide range of estimates out there. Chances are you might have an easier time finding the Holy Grail. In an effort to make your search a little easier, we've taken a look at the major reports on ICF costs and boiled them down to the basics.
One thing that makes cost comparisons difficult is the fact that ICF costs are usually measured in square foot of wall area, while wood frame costs are measured in square foot of floor area. Depending on the study, you might see ICFs converted to relate to floor area, so it's a good idea to keep track of what's being measured to avoid any confusion. Another thing to keep in mind is that different studies use different costs. Some give what the general contractor paid (referred to as builder's costs or total house cost) while others give what the general contractor charges (referred to as sales price).
Let's take a look at some numbers. A Portland Cement Association technology brief drawing from work done by VanderWerf, Feige, Chammas, and Lemay (Insulating Concrete Forms for Residential Design and Construction, 1997) concluded ICFs cost builders about .5-4% per square foot of floor area more than wood frame houses of the same design. At the time of the study, typical US homes cost the builder about $60-100 per square foot of floor area, so using ICFs added about a $1.00-4.00 premium to this figure. This held true only for homes built by experienced contractors (who've built 4 to 5 houses).
Along similar lines, the NAHB Research Center's Demonstration Homes Project also evaluated the use of ICFs in residential construction in 1997. They experienced up to an 8% increase in total house cost, adding about 1-5% to the final price for the buyers. The NAHB's ToolBase report found that ICFs increased builder's cost by $0.75-4.00 per square foot of floor area compared to wood frame construction.
And in 1998, a study by HUD, PCA, and NAHB compared the cost and performance of ICF walls to conventional wood-frame exterior walls again. They found that labor costs for ICFs were slightly to moderately higher, and that total installed costs averaged about $2.73 per square foot of floor area more than the wood frame home. This translated to an increase in builder's cost of 6% to 7%, or roughly a 3% increase in the builder's sales price.
So where do all those studies leave us? The bottom line is this: ICFs usually cost slightly more than wood frame. But by how much depends. There are so many potential influences on cost that it's tough to nail down a solid estimate.
Here's why: concrete, lumber and foam prices, ICF form prices, lumber prices, exterior finishes, design features, crew experience, labor markets, and engineering all influence the cost of the intended project. An added cost of $2.50 per square foot of floor area seems to be in the middle of most of these ranges. But take that figure lightly; construction with ICFs can increase builder's costs much less or more. It's easy to see why there's been so much debate on this issue.
All this being said, ICFs do have major cost savings opportunities. Because ICF construction is more energy efficient, HVAC systems can be downsized and those savings offset part of the cost difference. Using EIFS as your exterior finish will also reduce some of the cost since the foam required for EIFS installation is already set up. And some builders report fewer customer service calls on their ICF homes. (NAHB Research Center Demonstration Home Project.)
ICF homeowners enjoy lower utility bills, better sound proofing, and durability. Some have estimated that the monthly savings provide a good payback on the initial investment. And then you have the benefits of a stronger, quieter, more comfortable home to boot.

Right to attend General Meetings
Shareholders who hold at least 300 shares registered in their name in the appropriate book entries register five days prior to the date of the General Meeting, and who evidence that fact by means of the appropriate attendance card or named certificate issued by one of the member entities of the body that manages that register, or in any other manner permitted by the Spanish legislation, are entitled to attend the General Meeting.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, shareholders who do not hold the minimum number of shares required are entitled, at any time, to give a proxy to vote those shares, to a shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting, or to pool shares with other shareholders in the same situation until the necessary shares are pooled, appointing in writing one of such shareholders as proxy.
Any shareholder who is entitled to attend the General Meeting may give a proxy to any other person, including a non-shareholder. The proxy must be given specifically for each General Meeting, either using the proxy form printed in the attendance card or by any other means permitted by law, and complying with Section 187 of the Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) regarding the appointment of a relative as a proxy and the grant of general powers of attorney.
The documents containing proxies for the General Shareholders' Meeting must set forth the instructions regarding the manner of voting, provided that, where no express instructions are given, it shall be understood that the proxy-holder must vote in favor of the proposed resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors regarding the matters on the agenda, and shall vote in such direction as he deems most appropriate, taking into account the corporate interest and that of the shareholder granting the proxy, in relation to any other matters that are not included in the agenda and are thus unknown on the date that the proxy is granted but which may be submitted to a vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting.
If the proxy appointment does not indicate the specific person whom the shareholders appoints as their proxy, the proxy powers are deemed to be granted to the chairman of the Board of Directors or to the person chairing the Meeting in its place.
The appointment of a proxy is revocable at all times. Personal attendance of the appointing shareholder at the General Meeting revokes the proxy.

(Again with the Pinterest! Woman. Honestly.)
I am going to make this thing this weekend.
I don't know about you, but I tend to get great ideas and then they pile up and then I don't *do* any of them. Case in point: my drafts folder for my blog and the seven unfinished books-I-am-currently-writing. *cough cough*
Pinterest can turn into that, too. I see so many beautiful things, so many cool ideas or crafts or recipes and yet I just pin instead of make.
So I have decided that this weekend, instead of just pinning beautiful things, I will make some beautiful things.
Here's the challenge: Pick one thing from your Pinterest boards that you've been wanting to do or create or make or cook or bake.
Then actually do it this weekend.
Would you be interested in having a link-up party for it? If so, I'll post mine on Sunday with a link-up and you can post on your own blog about it and then put the link here so that we can all see your creative self.
Let's do this. After all:

Cairo — Clashes that flared up between al-Ahli football club fans and security forces on Thursday night at the Cairo International Stadium left 24 injured, said a Health Ministry spokesman.
In a statement to the Egyptian Radio and Television Union's Akhbar Masr website, spokesman Ahmed Kamel said there were no fatalities.
Kamel did not clarify if the injured included security personnel or not.
On its part, the Interior Ministry has said that the clashes left 10 officers and 15 conscripts injured.
Fans of Alhi football club and hardcore fans "Ultras Ahlawi" have clashed with security forces following a football match between the Egyptian Ahli Club and the Tunisian Sfaxien Club on Thursday, reported the Middle East News Agency.
Ahli won the CAF Super Cup for the sixth time in history after they beat the Tunisian team in a game on Thursday evening at the Cairo International Stadium.

Jeannette softball opens season in strong fashion

An old sports adage suggests that to get to the next level, a team must beat those already there.
If that is more truth than cliche, the 2014 Jeannette Lady Jayhawks softball program may have taken its initial steps toward the next level.
Jeannette opened up play this season with a non-section loss, but followed that up with two big Section 3A wins over the two teams which occupied the two spots ahead of Jeannette is last season's standings, Riverview and Leechburg.
Before starting section play, Jeannette traveled to Penn Hills last Tuesday and hung tough with a team three classifications above themselves until an error-riddled, eight-run fifth by Penn Hills sunk the Lady Jayhawks.
Jeannette began section play last Thursday in their home opener against Riverview, the team both Jeannette head coach Zac Karas and starting pitcher Nicole Hall identified as the key team to beat in Section 3.
Jeannette used a 15-run, 22-hit attack to easily dispatch of Riverview, 15-5 in five innings. Hall pitched a complete game in relatively easy fashion.
The Leechburg game was much more difficult, but the results were just as impressive as Hall dominated on the mound striking out nine and surrendering one run in another complete-game victory.
"Nicole was great in the Leechburg game," said Karas. "She was hitting all of her spots and really fielded her position well."
Hall faced her toughest challenge in the bottom of the seventh when Leechburg, trailing 3-1, put runners on second and third with two outs and their number 3 batter in the lineup at the plate.
Hall was able to get the Leechburg batter to ground out harmlessly to Sarah Pitzer at shortstop ending the game and sealing Jeannette's second section win of the season.
Karas knows how important it is for his team to pile up wins early in the season. "The team knows how special this season can be," said Karas. "Beating those two teams the way we did shows that we can close out and win games against good teams."

Work In a Fun Workout This Weekend
Fitness Expert Beth Oliver joined us to show how easy and fun it can be to work in a workout while enjoying your Memorial Day festivities:
Your Memorial Day Picnic Is Better Exercise Than You Might Think!
The trick to making your Memorial Day Picnic a great work-out is to remember these three things: Kick, run and throw!
All you have to do is play games that feature these things and you will be squatting, lunging, leaning and twisting without even thinking about it.
You'll be reaping other health benefits along the way, including a nice dose of Vitamin D. It's also good for your body to have to adjust to temperature changes and changes in the terrain. Just make sure to wear your sun screen and drink plenty of water.

I've seen filters that just looked like a double-convex lens. I guess it allows you to focus closer to the lens than without it. So I'm not quite sure if this is exactly a telephoto effect or just a focus effect.
Also, you can easily find 2x teleconverters for 35mm cameras.
But I have some fixed-lens medium format cameras. Is there any way to add a lens to make a wide-angle attachment? A "wideconverter"?

November 29, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Wilson County School Board rejected a settlement in the case of parents who sued an elementary school over what they claimed was the promotion of Christianity.
According to court papers, a group called the Praying Parents met regularly at Lakewood Elementary School to pray for the school, teachers and students.
While their meetings were behind closed doors, the group gave fliers promoting its activities to students and gave at least one student a card saying the group had prayed for the student. There was also a link to the Praying Parents' Web site on the school's site.
The unidentified plaintiffs claim the only way to protect their child from Christian proselytizing at the school was to withdraw him from Lakewood and school him at home. They also have not sent a younger child to the school because of the same concerns.

Pumas top Timbers, gain Open Cup berth
Kitsap is headed to Texas after beating the defending league champions
The Kitsap Pumas traveled to Texas two years ago for the Premier Development League playoffs.
Now the team is headed back to the Lone Star State.
Facing the defending PDL champion Portland Timbers U23s on the road Friday, the Pumas held on for a 3-2 win to clinch a berth in the U.S. Open Cup. It's the third straight year Kitsap has qualified for the 40-team tournament featuring the top pro and amateur clubs in the country.
"I don't know if it's our biggest win," Kitsap defender Mark Lee said during his team's four-hour bus ride home. "It's definitely one of the biggest."
Robby Christner scored two goals and Nik Besagno added another as the Pumas ended a four-game winless streak against the Timbers before nearly 5,000 fans at Jeld-Wen Field. Portland beat Kitsap three times last season before winning the league title.
"We owed them," said Kitsap coach Peter Fewing, whose team tied Portland 0-0 on May 21 in Bremerton.
Now owning the top record in the PDL, Kitsap is scheduled to begin Open Cup play with a first-round game June 14 against the Chivas El Paso Patriots. The Puma are seeking to get the game moved to June 15 since the team is scheduled to play in Abbotsford, B.C. on June 12.
"We have already requested that US Soccer understand our road schedule and move this match to the 15th to allow us acceptable recovery time," Kitsap executive director Ben Pecora said.
With Kitsap (6-0-1) and Portland (3-2-1) both finishing even after four Open Cup qualifier games, Friday's PDL game was designated as a tiebreaker to determine what team would advance to the Cup.
The Pumas were the first to strike in the 20th minute as Christner netted his third goal of the year. After a near-post run, he headed home a bending cross from midfielder David Gray.
Besagno made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute when his bicycle-kick shot crossed the goal line before the Timbers could clear it.
Heading into halftime with a two-goal advantage, the Pumas knew their foes wouldn't go away quietly in the second half.
"They came out guns blazing," Fewing said.
Brent Richards pulled Portland within a goal in the 54th minute off an assist from Steven Evans.
Kitsap regained its two-goal cushion in the 66th minute as Christner poked home a rebound following a corner kick. Defender Dan Scott picked up the assist.
The Pumas went down to 10 men after forward Bryan Burke received a red card in the 72nd minute. Three minutes later, Kitsap goalkeeper Bryan Meredith blocked a penalty kick by Portland's Miles Byass and made another save on the rebound.
Fewing called Meredith's stops "huge" considering the Timbers pulled within a goal in the 80th minute on a score by Nick Palodichuk.
"Big saves from Brian today," Fewing said.
With the win, Kitsap now leads the Timbers by nine points in the race for the Northwest Division title.
"We pretty much control our own destiny," Lee said.

|Monophyletic origin and unique dispersal patterns of domestic fowls.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8692897 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|With the aim of elucidating in greater detail the genealogical origin of the present domestic fowls of the world, we have determined mtDNA sequences of the D-loop regions for a total of 21 birds, of which 12 samples belong to red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) comprising three subspecies (six Gallus gallus gallus, three Gallus gallus spadiceus, and three Gallus gallus bankiva) and nine represent diverse domestic breeds (Gallus gallus domesticus). We also sequenced four green junglefowl (Gallus varius), two Lafayette's junglefowl (Gallus lafayettei), and one grey junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii). We then constructed a phylogenetic tree for these birds by the use of nucleotide sequences, choosing the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) as an outgroup. We found that a continental population of G. g. gallus was the real matriarchic origin of all the domestic poultries examined in this study. It is also of particular interest that there were no discernible differences among G. gallus subspecies; G. g. bankiva was a notable exception. This was because G. g. spadiceus and a continental population of G. g. gallus formed a single cluster in the phylogenetic tree. G. g. bankiva, on the other hand, was a distinct entity, thus deserving its subspecies status. It implies that a continental population of G. g. gallus sufficed as the monophyletic ancestor of all domestic breeds. We also discussed a possible significance of the initial dispersal pattern of the present domestic fowls, using the phylogenetic tree.

" Brand: Marks and Spencer / Available: Magnolia / Lavender / Rose / Iris / Camelia / Type: Bath Cream / Subcategory: Bath Cream / Oil "
I don't often have a bath, I'm far too impatient to wait for it to run so just like jumping in the shower. But when I do have a bath I like a nice bubble bath. Usually I buy Tesco's one but for Christmas most years I get a Marks' cream bath. I love the Floral range of cream baths from Marks and Spencer and have tried most of the fragrances they offer.
This review is for my favourite one which is Magnolia. Although £3 for 500ml is a tad expensive (especially when compared to the 69p a litre for the supermarket brand Magnolia Cream Bath that I buy) I think it's worth it as a treat as compared to the cheap one it's much creamier, you don't need as much, the bubbles last longer and it smells nicer.
The range looks posh, but you expect that from Marks. The bottles of cream bath are tall and thin with a screw top lid shaped a bit like an upside down Tophat. It's made out of see through sturdy plastic, so you can see how much is left- which I like. The label depicts the flower depending on which fragrance it is. My Magnolia bottle tells me that it's 'Magnolia Liliflora' and is 'Moisture Rich Foaming Bath Cream'.
The cream bath itself is creamy white in colour and has a rich and thick consistency. As it's poured under the tap it creates a nice lather and releases a gorgeous smell into the bathroom. I find the fragrance of this really relaxing. You don't need much to get loads of bubbles- a five second pour is plenty so the bottle lasts ages. You can't beat a soak in the bath but this can leave you feeling really dry and wrinkly so a cream bath helps to avoid this and keep skin soft and moisturised and this one does. I feel really clean and smooth after using this and the subtle flowery scent stays on my skin for a while.
It's never irritated me or given me a rash and it doesn't make me itch.
There are many matching beauty products in the Floral Range, I personally like to use the Magnolia Talc after my Magnolia bath.
I would recommend this bath cream for a luxury bath which is middle priced.
5 stars from me.
I have loved Marks & Spencer's beauty products for many years and adore getting a set for Christmas or birthday's. Sometimes I'll splurge out and buy larger bottles of the gift ranges purely because they are both lovely to use and are reasonably priced. Few things can lift my mood more than an invigorating shower or a luxurious soak in my bath with scented candles burning and a book at hand. (Yes it is possible to read in the bath).
Last Christmas I had a floral collection set of beauty and bath products in the lavender range and was thrilled as lavender is a great favouite of mine which I grow in the garden and dry to scent my clothes. To receive it in a nice sized gift set in a sturdy lilac coloured net mesh was a thoughtful gift and long after I'd used the set I still kept the bag to put my miniature bath products in for when I go away. While I appreciate this is a place to review the bath collection I don't see the gift collection as any different, apart from the addition of the hand and body lotion.
What's in the set?
One 75ml bottle of moisture rich foaming bath crème, one tube shaped in a v shape of 50ml of moisture rich shower crème and one tube of moisture rich hand and body lotion. Each is presented in a tidy shape that fits the bag perfectly. You can buy the products separately but there is a great offer on the sets at the moment in the gift department for Christmas and this set is priced at £5 with a buy one get another at half price you can treat your mother, sister, aunty, friend and even pamper yourself at these prices.
The Products.
Since this category is for bath products I'm going to look at the two in this set, which are the bottle of bath crème and the tube of shower crème. The bottle is a very sturdy type of container and it has a recycle symbol on it as well as the BUAV approved for those like me who care for the environment and are against animal vivisection. The bottle is a tall shape and has a screw turn top, which is almost impossible to tip over.
On opening the bottle you are instantly met with a heady aroma of lavender, which promises a restful experience. Lavender is excellent for relaxation and many people (including me) have some pillow drops to aid sleep. The rich crème looks thick and smooth, and on running under the hot tap releases a powerful froth of lather that is a pleasure to sink into slowly and gently. This states it will cleanse and moisturize your body and you soon feel it beginning to do its work as you dream of rocking on a cloud of bubbles.
The experience continues on getting out of the bath with your skin feeling smooth and clean without the need to scrub away at dry skin, the crème has smoothed your skin to perfection. The added bonus of a wonderfully fragranced bathroom is a pleasure in itself.
The Shower Crème.
This is in a tube and shaped to fit the gift bag. It's made of the same plastic as the bath crème and has the same symbols, easing your mind that you can safely use this whole range, despite your personal preferences as to scents, it is all the same packaging.
I like to stand this on end when getting into the shower. It's very sturdy and stands easily at the side of a bath or on a shower tray, allowing you to pick it up with ease, it doesn't tip over.
I usually squeeze a small amount onto a bath sponge or squeegee; it lathers quicker this way and soon covers your whole body. A little goes a long way with this so I'm very careful using it (and any other make) sensibly so it doesn't pool around my feet and affect my balance, which is very poor. You don't need a lot anyway, but for quickness sometimes a shower with this is almost as good as a long soak in the bath and uses less water.
This whole range is luxurious and at a sensible price, enabling you to make every bath-time a sheer pleasure. Use the crème at night for a gentle soothing sleep. Or before a stressful day to keep you calm. Either way it's a treat for you and everyone around you, and you'll be getting complements on your lovely 'perfume'.
This is a real favourite of mine and proves that cheap isn't nasty or boring, packaged in a top rival name you wouldn't know the difference.
Thanks for reading.
©Lisa Fuller 2011.
My favourite bath cream for the last few years has been Marks and Spencer magnolia . For some reason this is usually quite easy to find in boot sales, in a fresh unopened condition, which is how I came to know and enjoy it. Its rich, smooth ,with a warm and floral fragrance, somehow you can tell as you step into the bath that its not one of the cheaper products around, and wouln't be seen near the value range counter, its too silky and luxurious.
Anyway I became a bit addicted to it, which is why it usually features on my wish list for Christmas. But, you may know how it is, my family like to try something else which they feel is better or easier to get, not necessarily less expensive, but not quite what you desired but this year my granddaughter did me proud (and she's only 7).
I got a gift box of 6 x 75ml floral collection bath creams, these are Camellia, Lavender, Rose, Iris , and 2 ,yes 2 magnolia, someone must agree with me that its the nicest. The only one that I haven't previously tried is Iris, this has a nice fresh scent. These came in a cardboard recycleable cotainer with a non recycleable plastic window. (Sorry but our household has become a bit obsessive about recycling following new council directives,but its all good). the actual bottles are made from a recycleable type of plastic.
The bottles have been slightly redesigned recently,the label seems a little brighter, and features a picture of the flower involved, the main difference is in the lid, which has a flat round top now, but thats neither here or there really. Each 75ml bottle lasts for about 3 baths, unless you are very sparing. The creams are all a gentle white colour. The fragrance is very noticeable as you run the bath, but after getting out will not be obvious, or interfere with that perfume you had for Chistmas. Due to the cold weather I have been bathing rather than showering in the morning, it heats you up for a while. Even if needs must you have to step outside afterwards.
The bottle label states that one should avoid contact with the eyes, and if that occurs to rinse well with warm water. Have not found this to be a problem. The label states the product is made in Thailand. For some reason this surprised me, as naively I assumed M&S products were made in Britain. I hope and expect that the workers in Thailand are paid a fair wage, corresponding to that of similar British workers. Do they?
Anyway thankyou for reading my first review for a while, I hope to get back to reading yours, which are always interesting and enjoyable . Iwould recommend this product, and find that M&S are very good at nice affordable gifts these days.
The fragrance of the product I am reviewing today is not normally one that I tend to favour, particularly as I generally loathe intense floral fragrances. However, Rose Moisture Rich Foaming Bath Cream from the Marks and Spencer The Floral Collection is an exception, as it is a simply stunning and luxurious product.
I was somewhat surprised that it was necessary for me to make a product suggestion to Dooyoo, as I was of the opinion that this bath cream would have been extremely popular. The photograph I provided to Dooyoo, as shown above, differs slightly from my bottle, where the decoration has been updated since my last purchase and now appears extremely elegant. Consequently, I'm not intending to spend too much time describing the appearance of my older bottle and will concentrate on its' contents.
One point I would like to make at this stage is that toiletries from Marks and Spencer are extremely reasonably priced and I'm of the opinion that not too many consumers would think of looking for them in their stores. I have noticed that their prices have considerably reduced over the past few years and I always consider their toiletries to be very luxurious and upmarket, consequently, making them a perfect gift for that someone special (or for yourself, of course!).
I'll provide you with a brief description of the appearance of the bottle, even though it has slightly changed. Whilst you will no longer be able to find an identical version to mine, I will give you a rough idea of what you will receive for your money.
The 150 ml bottle I own is manufactured from an extremely sturdy transparent plastic and is more rigid than general run-of-the-mill bath products. From studying the photograph on the Marks and Spencer website, I believe that the general style of the modernised bottle is identical to that of the older version.
As the bottle is considerably sturdy, it is necessary to pour the cream, as it is impossible to squeeze this well constructed bottle. It has a pink sturdy screw off plastic lid, which is quite superior in appearance. Whilst the lower section of the lid is narrow, the upper section is almost the same diameter as the bottle itself.
The well-known logo of Marks and Spencer is located in the upper section and there are some pretty images of dark pink roses. Other than the green leaves belonging to the roses, the entire bottle has been decorated in different shades of pinks, which makes the appearance of this product extremely high quality and considerably stunning.
The bath cream is a light shade of pink to match the lid of the bottle and when I look at it closely, I can see a slight marbled effect in the thick creamy liquid, which resembles the appearance of an opal. As soon as you unscrew the lid, you are greeted with the most gorgeous rose fragrance, which smells totally natural and almost identical to that of fresh roses.
Marks and Spencer market this product as capturing the fragrant heritage of roses in full bloom. I totally agree with this claim, as I can honestly say that I have never before smelled such a beautifully captivating rose fragranced product.
The cream bath easily disperses from the bottle and only a few drops into running water are required to create a bath with plenty of stunning rose scented bubbles. What I adore about this cream bath is that in addition to the beautifully fragranced bath water, each and every one of the bubbles provides a gorgeous rose scent.
The water always feels so soft and smooth and simply adds to the pleasure of a purely relaxing and luxurious bathing experience. The bath cream will both moisturise and soften your skin and its' subtle fragrance will remain on your body for a couple of hours after use. I really do not know what it is about this fragrance that always makes me feel extremely chilled, tranquil and totally stress free.
Whilst I believe the empty bottle can be recycled, unfortunately, we are not provided with the recycling image.
Marks and Spencer have truly created a masterpiece with this product and in my opinion, it is absolutely divine. I cannot recommend it highly enough and consequently, it receives 5 out of 5 dooyoo stars from me.
The Rose Floral Collection is available in larger branches of Marks and Spencer where you will discover a wide range of matching products, such as body cream, lip balm, bath essence, eau de toilette, hand and body lotion, soaps and room/linen spray. A 500 ml bottle of the Bath Cream will cost you £3 and in my opinion, is worth every single penny.
I hope you found my review useful and would thank you for reading.

Sneak Peek: Martin Marietta proposes hostile takeover of Vulcan Materials
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On December 12, 2011 @ 5:00 pm In Aggbeat Online | 1 Comment
Raleigh, N.C.-based Martin Marietta Materials approached Birmingham, Ala.-based Vulcan Materials Co., the nation's top aggregate producer, with an unsolicited offer to take over the company with a stock-for-stock transaction.
If this hostile takeover were approved, it would create a U.S.-based company that, as of Dec. 9, had a combined market capitalization of $7.7 billion and a combined total enterprise value of $11.4 billion, according to Martin Marietta. The combined mineral reserves of both companies would be 28 billion tons.
Martin Marietta President and CEO Ward Nye, Aggregates Manager's 2006 AggMan of the Year [1], says the combination of both companies "is a compelling opportunity for both companies' shareholders, customers, employees, and the communities we serve."
Nye notes that by bringing together what he calls "complementary assets," it creates the opportunity to create a global aggregates leader.
Together, Vulcan and Martin Marietta expect to achieve cost synergies of $200 million to $250 million.
"We also intend to maintain the dividend of the combined company at Martin Marietta's current rate of $1.60 per Martin Marietta share annually, or the equivalent of 80 cents per Vulcan share annually, based on the proposed exchange ratio," Nye said in a written statement. "This dividend rate is 20 times Vulcan's current level."
The proposal, including the exchange offer is unanimously supported by Martin Marietta's board of directors. Under the terms of the exchange offer, each outstanding share of Vulcan would be exchanged for 0.50 Martin Marietta shares.
The offer represents a premium for Vulcan shareholders of 15 percent to the average exchange ratio based on the closing share prices for Vulcan and Martin Marietta during the 10-day period ended Dec. 9 and 18 percent to the average exchange ratio based on the closing share prices for Vulcan and Marietta during the 30-day period ended Dec. 9, 2011.
Nye says Martin Marietta is bringing the proposal directly to Vulcan shareholders after the company stopped participating in private discussions toward a negotiated transaction, which began more than a year ago.
However, Vulcan Materials Co. may try to "squeeze" $1 billion more out of a takeover bid that's already the most expensive for a U.S. building material company, according to a Dec. 14 Bloomberg report. [2]
Martin Marietta Materials Inc.'s $4.8 billion hostile offer for Birmingham, Ala.-based Vulcan values the largest American producer of crushed stone at 24 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, according to the Bloomberg report. The multiple is the highest on record for an acquisition greater than $500 million of a U.S. maker of building materials such as cement, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that includes net debt.
Martin Marietta's proposal contemplates directors from both companies serving on the combined company's board. It also proposes that Vulcan Chairman and CEO Don James, serve as chairman of the board and that Nye serve as president and CEO. Executives from both companies would serve on the management team, according to the proposal.
The combined company would be headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., and maintain a major presence in Birmingham, Ala.
According to a press release on Vulcan Material's website [3], the company says the company's board of directors "will carefully review the proposal and determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders."
At the time of this posting, Vulcan's Board of Directors said it intended to advise shareholders of its recommendation by "making available to shareholders and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9."
Vulcan Materials shareholders are being advised not to take any action at this time pending the review of the proposed exchange offer by the company's board.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is acting as legal advisor to Vulcan Materials.

Terrence Brooks (31) excites the student section during Florida States convincing 52-0 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday, Sept. 15. / Riley Shaaber/FSView
For fans, losses are hard. Theyre no fun, theyre depressing, maddening, saddening. For players, losses are even worse.
When things dont go your way, it definitely sucks, safety Terrence Brooks said.
Its a conundrum for student-athletes, because fans expect answers and players need to seem accountable.
But for the good of a team still looking to win six more regular season games, a balance must be struck between looking back and looking forward.
If were talking about it, were learning about it, Brooks said about looking back at Saturdays loss at North Carolina State. Brooks had an interception in the loss and made four tackles on the night and said the loss is one of those things that you feel in the pit of your stomach.
The team endured a similar situation last season that began by a loss to Oklahoma that begot losses to Clemson and Wake Forest. The players are taking that experience and using it to help them deal with this loss.
Yeah [its tough], but weve been in this situation before because of last year, defensive end Tank Carradine said. We lost as a team last year. I think we got over it.
While the Seminoles are using last years tailspin as a parable, they are also using it as a warning.
A majority of the older guys have stepped up and said, you know, we lost, get over it, move on, Carradine said. Because we dont want to make one loss into two losses, which is something that occurred last year and I think that affected us a lot. We dont want that to happen again and we feel like weve still got the chance to have a good season, so well still keep moving on.
Carradine mentioned that some of those who have stood up and been leaders in the locker room following the loss are Manuel, Bjoern Werner, Telvin Smith, Vince Williams and Xavier Rhodesall veterans in the program.
Overall, the whole team is responding well, quarterback EJ Manuel said. I dont think there was a fall off as far as our attention to what we do on Sundays considering we lost Saturday night, so that was positive. Everybody still understands that we still have our goals in reach, we just have to do our job and win out.
Coach Jimbo Fisher stressed the need for better execution during his post-game press conference and is actually encouraged by what he saw on filmand what he thought were coachable mistakes.
Im very encouraged about our team, very excited about our team and I look forward to see the next six games and how the majority of the team responds, Fisher said. I liked the leadership after the game. I think theyll step up and play very well and Im looking forward to playing a great game against BC this week.
Ultimately, Manuel saw the glaring mistakes on film and has just one answer for those wondering about the rest of FSUs season: they will improve.
It is just a lot of things on film that we wished we would have done better, Manuel said. Not necessarily that we didnt execute all the time, but just do it better. I think [we] would have had a different outcome of the game.
One star defensive end also believes the answer can be that simple.
We realized that next time we just have to be better, Carradine said.

Channel Boat Holidays via 1940
The history of tunel boating holidays truly begins in the Forties but canal boating itself dates back to your British Industrial Revolution when horse attracted narrow boats moved the many canals connected with Great Britain to deliver things and parcels to people around the country. Most of these narrow boats had been no wider compared to six feet 10 inches and ended up first used in the English midlands. The filter boats were able to deal with the locks along with bridge holes that had been a minimum of seven foot wide and very considerable in this part of the nation.
The wooden motorboats were led by the crewmember who was guiding any horse that was tugging the boat. Occasionally these boats could also carry passengers.

Mr Sihasak,acting minister of foreign affairs, said there was no exchange of favours involved in Mr Veera's release.
He believes it will be beneficial to Thai-Cambodian relations and he will write to officially extend gratitude towards the neighboring country.
Mr Sihasak said that his recent visit to Cambodia was successful as he had chances to explain situations in Thailand to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Hor Namhong and to request the release of Mr Veera who had been imprisoned in Cambodia for quite a long period.
He said that the release was the sole decision of Cambodia, that it made Thai people happy and would benefit Thai-Cambodian relations.
"I confirm that the Mr Veera's release was not made with any favour being sought in return. I admit that there must be cooperation on alien labor solutions because it is important to the economy and security of Thailand. However, the Ministry (of Foreign Affairs) will draft a letter to officially express gratitude to Cambodia. The letter will be proposed to the chief of the NCPO (National Council for Peace and Order) for consideration before being further handled through a diplomatic channel," Mr Sihasak said.
He also said that both Mr Hun Sen and Mr Hor Namhong understood Thailand's regulation of alien workers and supported their registration.
"Cambodia raised (the issue of) the arrest of 14 Cambodian workers who had used counterfeit visas as they had been deceived by a job placement firm and it sought Thailand's assistance. I promised to check out the issue right away to ensure justice for the 14 workers whom I have learned were arrested in Sa Kaeo province," Mr Sihasak said.

Poison ivy grows in various locations: forests, fence rows, stream banks and roadsides. It is sometimes confused with other plants, but there are differences that help distinguish poison ivy from its look-alikes. Poison ivy has three divided leaflets, a center leaflet on an extended stem, white waxy berries (at certain times of the year) and leaves that alternate on the main stem.
- Filed Under
If the outdoor growing conditions are such that they lead to an abundance of poison ivy, does that make it a "good" year or a "bad" year for poison ivy?
Regardless of which side of this discussion you lean toward, one thing seems to be clear about poison ivy - there's a bumper crop of it this summer.
Poison ivy can make you scratch anytime of the year, but spring, summer and autumn are when most people experience the itching problems caused by this plant. The reason these seasons see the most poison ivy problems is simple - it's when we're outside the most. ...

Clinton helps welcome Adecco
September 22 2008
Former presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, joined with Tig Gilliam, CEO of Adecco Group North America, and others Friday for a ribbon-cutting at Adecco's new payroll processing center in Rochester NY. Clinton worked with the company to bring it to the upstate New York site. The 13,000-square foot center will handle payroll for 500,000 workers annually and field about 6,000 calls a week from Adecco's temporary workers, according to Clinton's office. The payroll processing center will also add 200 jobs to Rochester by 2010.
Adecco Group North America is part of Adecco SA, the world's largest staffing firm.

Facelift Surgery
Dr. Ronald DeMars
Photo Gallery
With time and age, the face can lose skin elasticity and firmness, experience fat displacement and sagging and develop wrinkles and creases. If you have noticed visible signs of aging but still feel youthful inside, this can affect how you feel about yourself, and how you believe you are being perceived by others.
Dr. DeMars has more than 30 years' experience performing a variety of plastic surgery procedures, including facelift. He uses the latest surgical techniques to provide his Portland facelift patients with results that rejuvenate the face while looking completely natural.
What Does Facelift Correct?
Facelift corrects the most common signs of facial aging, including:
- Wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds (creases from your nose to the corners of your mouth)
- Displaced fat
- Loss of volume around the cheeks
- Sagging or excess skin
- Jowls
- Marionette lines (lines that extend from the corners of your mouth to your chin)
- Double chin
Facelift techniques focus on the mid-face and lower areas of the face. If you would like to see more concentrated improvement around your forehead or eyes, Dr. DeMars can explore your forehead lift or eyelid surgery options in more detail during your consultation.
Your Facelift Consultation
During your facelift consultation, Dr. DeMars will examine your face, noting the elasticity of your skin and other factors. He will ask you to describe what you would like to see improved. He will also ask you questions about your medical history and health status. Dr. DeMars will explain the procedure and how he plans to approach it in greater detail. He will discuss reasonable goals and expectations of surgery, and explain how to prepare for surgery. You are encouraged to ask any questions you have about surgery.
The Surgery
Facelift is an outpatient procedure. You will receive anesthesia prior to the start of surgery so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
To begin, Dr. DeMars makes the surgical incisions along the hairline at the temples; the incisions may extend down in front of the ears and should be hidden in the lower hair-bearing scalp. Through the incisions, he will lift the deeper layers of the face. He will redistribute misplaced fat (especially around the cheeks and cheekbones) to give the face more youthful looking contours. He will liposuction excess fat from the neck and jawline to give it a more streamlined appearance.
If you have discussed it ahead of time, Dr. DeMars may place facial implants to add volume to the cheeks or chin.
Excess skin will be removed, and the remaining skin will be tightened. Dr. DeMars will re-drape the skin more tightly over the underlying structures and close the incisions with sutures. Finally, he will dress the incisions and place a fluffy bandage around the face.
Recovering from Facelift
Dr. DeMars will provide detailed aftercare instructions for you to follow as you recover from facelift.
For the first few days, your face will be sore, swollen and bruised. These side effects last only temporarily and will subside with time. To control swelling and prevent complications, you should keep your head elevated, even when you sleep. Avoid bending, lifting or straining. Take pain medication as prescribed by Dr. DeMars if you feel any discomfort.
Dr. DeMars will follow up with you to check on your healing progress, remove sutures and suggest when to return to work, exercise and your normal routine.
Learn More about Your Facial Rejuvenation Options
In addition to being a skilled facelift specialist, Dr. DeMars is a highly experienced eyelid surgery and cheek lift surgeon. To learn more about any of these procedures, please contact Dr. DeMars and schedule a consultation. Call 503-253-3458 today.

It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
George Clinton
By 1980, George Clinton began to be weighed down by legal difficulties arising from Polygram's acquisition of Parliament's label, Casablanca. Jettisoning both the Parliament and Funkadelic names (but not the musicians), Clinton signed to Capitol in 1982 both as a solo act and as the P.Funk All-Stars. His first solo album, 1982's Computer Games, contained the Top 20 R&B hit "Loopzilla." Several months later, the title track from Clinton's Atomic Dog EP hit number one on the R&B charts; it stayed at the top spot for four weeks, but only managed number 101 on the pop charts. Clinton stayed on Capitol for three more years, releasing three studio albums and frequently charting singles -- "Nubian Nut," "Last Dance," "Do Fries Go With That Shake" -- in the R&B Top 40. During much of the three-year period from 1986 to 1989, Clinton became embroiled in legal difficulties (resulting from the myriad royalty problems latent during the '70s with recordings of over 40 musicians for four labels under three names). Also problematic during the latter half of the '80s was Clinton's disintegrating reputation as a true forefather of rock; by the end of the decade, however, a generation of rappers reared on P-Funk were beginning to name check him.
In 1989, Clinton signed a contract with Prince's Paisley Park label and released his fifth solo studio album, The Cinderella Theory. After one more LP for Paisley Park (Hey Man, Smell My Finger), Clinton signed with Sony 550. His first release, 1996's T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. ("the awesome power of a fully operational mothership"), reunited the funk pioneer with several of his Parliament/Funkadelic comrades from the '70s. Clinton's Greatest Funkin' Hits (1996) teamed old P-Funk hits with new-school rappers such as Digital Underground, Ice Cube, and Q-Tip. [See Also: Parliament, Funkadelic] ~ John Bush

Little did Mendez know that 18 years later, she would hold the title of product coordinator for tortillas at Hot Bread Kitchen (HBK) in New York City, working with women from around the world who are preserving their countries' baking traditions and selling their products to an appreciative audience of New Yorkers.

'These meringues aren't quite the same as the classic, but they take seconds to make, then just a few seconds more to cook'
- Lightly whisk the egg white, then stir in the icing sugar and cardamom to make a firm fondant icing. Roll the icing into 8 golfballsize balls (you probably won't need all of it). Two at a time, place the balls at opposite ends of a greased piece of baking paper, then microwave for 30-40 secs on High until quadrupled in size. Leave to cool for a few mins, then lift off the paper and repeat until all the balls are cooked.
- Whip the cream with half the lemon juice. Crush half the raspberries, then fold through the cream. To serve, place a little splodge of raspberry cream onto each plate. Stack a meringue with some more cream, then place another meringue on top. Spoon over more cream, then top with a few whole raspberries. Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Comments, questions and tips
Done these for a GCSE catering exam, they went really well though needed an extra half an egg white. Extremely easy to make and saved me loads of time in the exam. They don't rise as much as in the picture but are very tasty and just melt in the mouth. Got lots of praise for the presentation, and tasters were very impressed! :)
I did this as a quick pudding at a Pampered Chef show - it was great, lots of oohs and ahhhhs. One time it did burn though in the microwave (and my finger so be careful) I think it had something to do with the liquid content, too much and it burns? it needs to be like fondant icing? I was doing a trifle at the same time and I just added the meringues into the trifle and it tasted delicious as an adaption!!
