Unfortunately, as a weekly mask this did not do anything for my dehydrated-normal acne-prone skin. I don't see a decrease in acne, clearer/smaller pores, smoother skin texture... Nothing. It stings slightly (this is separate from the cooling sensation the mint has) so I can't even say it is fun to use. The only difference I can tell in my skin after I use the mint julep mask is that it feels drier than usual so I need more moisturizer.
I don't plan on purchasing this in the future, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't had much luck with other clay masks in the past.

Well this mask is THE best mask you can buy for your skin if you have acne. I bought this particular mask around a year ago and stopped using it because it was so messy and it really wasn't doing much for my skin. I started reusing it again about a month ago now and I am so in love with it. It is so affordable, it is a huge tube, you will never run out of this! I apply the mask on days that I have worn makeup for the whole day, to just clean my skin. I do not exfoliate often because it can be too harsh on my skin, so this is a great alternative. :) very happy with this!

I bought this after reading great reviews about it and because of the cheap price. I was impressed. Afterwards my skin feels soft, smooth, and pores are clear. It is just as good as Lush's Mask of Magnaminty...if not better! I will repurchase.

i got a tiny bottle of this because i heard it was one of queen helene's best skin care product. this stuff, along with the mud mask, is really awesome. i like the queen helene mud mask a bit more and i feel like, for my skin, it does more - but the mint julep mask is easily my second favorite. it smells pleasant and it leaves your skin feeling smooth and clear and tight. i usually use it weekly or once every two weeks and it really gives my skin a pick-me-up at times it is desperately needed.

This is a staple in my routine. I've used pricey masks that I liked but this mask is only $4 and work just as well, if not better, than the $40+ masks. Not to mention, one tube is going to last forever so you get a lot of bang for your buck. It can be a bit drying, so I would proceed with caution if you're going to use it all over your face but it works wonders for any breakout or clog I have. I use a little Queen Helene on the spot, let it dry, and once removed, I can already see that the spot or clog comes to a head. This mask really dries them out and clears them up faster than any other spot treatment I've ever used. It is very effective.

This is great! I find this to be perfect for my acne prone combo skin. I also like to use it as a spot treatment.

I have been kind of on the look out for this product since reading about it ages ago... lo and behold I found it tucked away at Sally's. It's dirt cheap for a giant tub, but I might buy the bottled version next as it's a bit messy.
However, I cannot recommend this enough! I have combination skin and have always had acne, but over the past couple months it's gotten pretty bad (hormonal I believe) so I was looking to try something new. This mask is amazing! It's not a miracle worker by any means, but I could see a difference after using it. It's a thick, creamy green clay-based mask that is really fun to put on haha. It is quite tingly (it is called a MINT mask for a reason), almost to the point of burning a little in my case, as I have sensitive skin, but I tough it out for 15-20 minutes. I honestly don't find it that hard to remove, it just takes some warm water and a bit of scrubbing.
After the first few times using it, and yes even after the first time, my skin was noticeably more soft and smooth. I didn't see a ton of difference in my blemishes, but after using it a couple of times they definitely were less noticeable and more dried up. A couple people even commented after I used it how nice my skin looked! You can't really go wrong with it, it's so cheap for a lot of product and has improved my acne some, as well as my skin's texture. I used it a couple times a week and will definitely be re-buying!

I really like this product. Its VERY tingly and can be too much for some people but I dont mind it. It leaves my skin feeling very refreshed, smooth, tightens all my pores and dries up blemishes. The smell is not the best, and the packaging makes it really hard to get the product out since it's very thick. A tub would be better. Also, taking it off requires a cloth of some sort, it would take a while to get off with just water and hands. Its all worth it though because my skin glows afterwards and feels super soft. Plus it's super cheap!

Incredible product, let me just start by saying ive never been a girl that got pimples, im 20 and all throughout my teenage years i only got the occasional breakout at the time of the month, this was until i took hairfinity pills a product that contains a high level of biotin i rarely drink alot of water and the pills broke me out TERRIBLY u can imagine how bad it was for me as someone who rarely got acne, in comes mint julep. I purchased after buying many products while trying to get rid of my horrid breakout. it smells and looks like toothpaste i applied and left for 20mins washed off and my skin literally GLOWED. by the next day i could see some acne had dried up and in 2 days my skin looked MUCH better i am not kidding youve GOT to try this stuff ontop of it all its so CHEAP for the amount you get.

I consider this to be a toning, rather than a deep-cleaning, product. It feels great, and smells great (at least until you rinse it off and get that residual sulfur stench), but it doesn't really clean or unclog anything, at least for me. My favorite use is applying it to a pimple, either fully erupted or still under the skin, and leaving it on overnight - that dries it up significantly, and will often prevent the under-the-skin ones from erupting altogether. Of course, Mint Julep Masque stains everything it touches green, sometimes permanently, so I have a special washcloth for taking it off and a special towel for putting over my pillows when I leave it on overnight. It's fun to occasionally use it all over my face for that classic girly masque experience, but I don't think it really does anything other than tone, and maybe brighten a bit. But hey, it's dirt-cheap and easy to find now (unlike in 2009, when I had to drive across town to get it), so I keep it around. It's very stiff and hard to squeeze out of the tube even when it's full - frequently, too much comes out, and it gets to be barely usable when the tube is half-empty or so. I'd actually rather have it in a pot, and use a skincare spatula or brush, or my clean fingers, to apply.

European + American Art Contemporary
The major works in this space are Francis Bacon's magnificent triptych, Chuck Close's photo-realist portrait Bob, and Colin McCahon's Victory over death 2. Neo-Expressionist paintings from Europe are included, as well as more contemporary works. After a period in which abstraction was foremost—and conceptual art, performance and site-specific work dominated—painting again achieves its prominence as painters reinvent figurative art.
In Georg Baselitz's 'fracture painting', parts of three woodcutters and their dog are shown amid pieces of sawn timber, making a dramatic statement on art after WWII. McCahon's unstretched canvas makes a grand statement of another kind, with the size and graphic force of a billboard. Close's and Bacon's paintings both show the impact of photography—Bob is a passport-style photograph but greatly enlarged, while Bacon used Muybridge's photographs of wrestlers for his triptych.

We've seen it happen in the US and Europe, and then in China. Now it's happening in India. The popularity of sending SMS in India is at an all-time low right now, with Nielsen statistics showing that Indians now send an average of just two SMS per day. That's down from nine SMS per day in mid-2011.
As in other nations, this is due to the rising popularity of chat apps, enabled by greater usage of mobile data plans. While telcos still make money from more 2G or 3G usage, they claim it's not as much as they make from SMS and text-based value-added services.
This nice chart from The Hindu shows very clearly how India is turning away from SMS. Instead, the nation's netizens spend an average of 27 minutes per day using chat apps like Nimbuzz, Viber, Whatsapp, Kik, and WeChat:
Next trend: video and voice calls
This usage of online messaging apps will only accelerate with greater smartphone uptake in India, in sync with the nation's 3G finally taking off.
More 3G subscribers, allied with feature-rich chat apps, will eventually also impact the number of phone calls made. Apps like WeChat and Line have free video and voice calling over wi-fi or mobile data.
The mobile penetration rate in India is now at 78 percent, but only 11 percent of the nation's populace is online. So SMS is not dead yet. Plus, there's still room for growth among lots of neat SMS-oriented services.

View from in front of the Top Hanger - some idea of the slope can be obtained between the trees...
Sign City !!
Decided to go for a stroll in the unexpected sunshine today across the former Walsall Airport. Here are some photos from the site - taken on a bright day in February 2010. It struck me that what passed as a Municipal Airport in the 1930's is very different to what you see today...!
Although Walsall and Aldridge are now in the West Midlands, when the airfield was active they were both part of Staffordshire.
The airfield is HERE
This airfield was opened for public use on 6th July 1935, with gliding, flying training, taxi/charter work, aerial photograpy and air shows taking place at the site. The Midland Gliding Club operated from the field, and several flying clubs ran businesses there. In 1938 Helliwells Ltd operated from a factory at the west side of the field building aircraft components - including cockpit frames and fuel tanks. During WW2 Helliwells used the facility for the repair of numerous aircraft including Harvards, Ansons, Bostons and Seafires. There is a report of Handley Page Harrow K6982 carrying out a forced landing on the field, over-running the runway and stopping in the bottom hedge, and another aircraft which was unable to stop, left the airfield and hit a passing lorry on the main Walsall Road, fatally injuring its driver. A report has also been seen of a Mosquito on the scrap heap behind a hangar (no, it's not still there...).
Post-WW2 the Swallow Coachbuilding Company operated from the factory, building, amongst other things, the Swallow Doretti sports car between 1954 and 1955.
The airfield had serious competition as a viable passenger-carrying air port (sic) from the larger Elmdon (Birmingham) and Wolverhampton aerodromes nearby, flying from the field tailed off and and it was closed to flying in the late 1940s or early 1950s.
Not too clear in the photos is the height difference between the east and west end of the field. The run from the west is uphill to a boundary enclosed by trees, which must have been interesting on a hot summer's day if the grass hadn't been cut recently. The trees caught several aircraft which failed to gain sufficient height, including Fox Moth G-ACEY, in 1938. The downhill run to the west was into open countryside on the far side of Walsall Road and Longwood Lane.
Not much remains of what must have been a busy airfield before and during WW2 - the original hangars, Helliwells factory and the 'bottom hangar' plus the clubhouse have gone. The 'top hangar' - about 200m beyond and slightly to the right of the gap in the trees in the first photo below - is now in use by the counytryside rangers, and the compass-swinging platform can still be made out in the grass.
The airfield is now a public open space owned by Walsall MBC, flying still takes place in the form of Greenacres Model Aero Club. Considering the recent rainfall the grass at the bottom of the slope was surprisingly dry. The area around the trees at the top of the slope is a clay soil, and was very, very wet.
I would be interested to see both ground and aerial photos from the 1930s or WW2 era.
View uphill looking ~east.
View looking ~west from close to the top hangar
The 'Top Hangar' (Experimental Hangar)
The compass-swinging platform (compass base). The Helliwells factory and hangars were where the large steel-clad building now stands. The private flying club hangar and clubhouse were adjacent to where the brick building (in the distance, just right of centre) now stands.
Possibly the remains of a lookout / defensive position ?

Early post war. Poor quality but it gives an idea
Sparky - You mentioned Helliwells' association with Walsall Airport.
Helliwells were an interesting company on many counts but their racy patriotic 'ads of the late thirties were quite famous.
Here's a link to the Helliwells section on my Website .... one in particular has a good view of Walsall Airport.
I'll locate the hi res version and post the airfield view when I get a chance....
Thanks guys. The runway on ~330° is a surprise - the current layout gives no hint that it ran across the track. And the 090° run avoids the trees which caught at least one aircraft.
I had seen one Helliwells advert featuring the girl. Not sure they would get away with that these days...
The Helliwells factory has completely gone, replaced with a steel-clad building and a Peugeot/Fiat dealership.
I have taken the liberty of editing the photo taken from the 1939 Helliwells' advert to give an impression of the pre-war hangars. Was trying to identify the aircraft parked outside...
These were located where the large white steel-clad building now is in the photos above.
And here is the 1931 Helliwell's plan for the airfield...
Last edited by Sparky67; 24-06-2010 at 16:22. Reason: Photo added
Out of curiosity, who was the lady in the Helliwells advertisements?
I trust the clubhouse has gone too? I rember the hangar on the right of the two in the old pic but not the one on the left.
'fraid so. Apart from the 'Top Hangar' (marked Experimental Hangar on the plan) and the compass base all evidence of the original airfield buildings has gone. Looking on GE the civil hangar was demolished sometime between 2003 and 2005 - that area is now a car park. Where the club house/flying control and signals square were situated there is now a new, busy outdoor activities centre.
I have received this email via the forum and thought it should be posted here.
i saw a thread on Aldridge airport, and i grew up around it as a child. When i was a child there used to be a company called ' TI' that occupied factory buildings by walsall road during the 1980's. If my memory serves me well they were the original Buildings as shown in one of the photos on the thread. They were knocked down and replaced with all the current factorys.
Also the road layout was changed. Originally Longwood road ended right by the canal bridge, but they changed the road layout to come a roundabout. Some of the original road still exists behind bushes and trees.
On the field there used to be a building from the war. I think it was a gunning post. you used to be able to step down into it, but it was bulldosered in sometime in the late 1980's. If you were near the top hanger, you walked along the tree line at the top of the field heading down towards walsall rounghly about 40 paces or more from the driveway.
In the wooded aread near the top hanger there is foundations for what appears to be barracks.
For years as a child there used to be an abandoned black Austin A30? ( two door thing) chassis rotting away in the middle of a swappy bit.
In the wooded area further down towards the car park is a rusty fenced off section, which i never quite understood why - maybe endangered plant, or unsafe grounds?
I always wandered about myths about underground depo's and what was oringally built in the wood ' Cuckoo's Nook' Which has a Concrete Cross ( maybe some sort of mast foundation?).
Judging from the thread it appears the airport didnt have such a predominant roll in the war, as there is no mention of Huricanes. But in saying that If there was aircraft components being built at the airport,i was told amunition was being made and stored in under ground bunker near or in linley woods just on Redhouse industrial est.

68MU Linley (Caverns) was proposed in early 1941 as a main underground depot for 20 kilotons of High Explosives, plus 5 kilotons of incendiary, with a turnover of 500 ‑ 600 tons per day, staffed by 500 ‑ 700 men. After £1M had been spent it was still in a very unsafe condition and was mothballed. It then became 21MSU under Fauld. A derisory offer to the US 8th AF failed (they chose Wortley), and it was finally used for storing small obsolete weapons. The medical site at least was located on Helliwells Aerodrome.

Burruss Hall is usually filled with Virginia Tech students, but on Sunday it's where Blacksburg High School seniors turned into grads.
After a grueling schedule of night classes since the gym roof at the high school collapsed in February, students were all smiles to walk the stage and accept their diplomas.
"I'm excited, high school's over, ready to move on to the next chapter of our lives," says graduate Tony Delpercio.
Dr. Michael Ellerbrock, a professor at Virginia Tech, gave the commencement speech. It included words of wisdom for post-graduation life.
Ellerbrock assured students the next chapter would be "a piece of cake" because of their past four years spent at Blacksburg High School.

Not My Favorite Column
This will be a short column, and it may be the last for some time. On Monday, August 5th, I learned that I have a brain tumor. It seems to be malignant, and the operation to confirm this (and, if possible, remove it) is scheduled for August 14th.
I could leave it at that, but I know from feedback from readers of this column that you will want to know details. So, let me tell you what I know. The tumor is located on the left side, and is either pressing on or invading my speech center. I became aware of this in early June, when my patterns of speech became less precise. Curiously, I can control this somewhat by speaking at higher volumes. At the same time, I realized that my typing was becoming increasingly erratic, with my thoughts saying one thing and my fingers typing another. CAT scans revealed both the tumor and a region of dead tissue next to it. This poses an interesting question (well, interesting to me, at any rate): might an operation restore me to my original condition, or is the damage permanent?
I should know in another few weeks.
A few more brief comments before I close. My thought processes themselves seem unimpaired. I have determined by experiment that my ability to do arithmetic is as good (or bad) as ever. I have suffered no headaches, and my general health is as good now as it was before. I have been dictating these notes, because speaking seems to be more accurate than writing.
Give me a few weeks, and I hope that I will be able to give you more details on what has been happening to me, and then return to science subjects of more general interest.

Picture of the Day 10/27
Pictures like this break my heart! Here I am this morning telling myself I need to lose weight and trying to stop myself from going to the pantry to snack on the abundance of food in there. And here is this mother and her precious babies starving! I have no words.
When my oldest was a little boy, (now 30) he would see the commercials and say, "when I grow up I am going to get a job and give them kids all my money so they can eat" It just broke his heart to see those kids, as it does mine. The sad thing is a lot of the money we send doesn't reach them!

Yes, in looking at the S'phile and other graphs, the ~1ms decay is certainly in anechoic conditions! and related to the speaker itself; I realized that later. Another room CSD plot I saw somewhere was on the ~300ms time scale. So I now understand that this is the proper way to look at room treatment results.
I don't think I can get away with room treatments ... at least to the extent they would make a real difference. Looks to me like some DSP based multi-filtered correction units can achieve pretty good results WRT the CSD plots (I am not certain what RT30 really means? but if it's the room reverberation time to -30dB SPL, seems related to the CSD plot).
I have read (learned opinions? or otherwise, I don't know) that it is best to treat the room, then apply DSP processing for best results. In the absence of treatment, seems to me that DSP is better than nothing! I hope to find out some day, hopefully in a broadband manner, not 'just' in a subwoofer unit.
For low budgets, looks like something like a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033 would be a good start, but IIUC this only can be applied on the subwoofer signal. I have resonances at (25), 50, 100, and 200Hz, and my monitors roll off at ~63Hz ... so I think I would certainly need treatment for the 100 and 200Hz resonances.
Looks like the processing (applying phase correction, not only EQ) can actually work rather well in optimizing the CSD.
I hope someday to be able to try the McIntosh/Lyngdorf unit ... but for the short term, something like the 8033 (and I know there's a 'cheap' version of the Lyngdorf for 'semi-professional' use ... ah, yes, the KRK Ergo) will have to do! but 'going cheap' will, I am afraid, compromise some of the good sonic things that I am working hard to achieve.

Yes - I understand it only works up to 500Hz, but that seems adequate for my overall bass issues. I listen in the nearfield (to monitors) so >500Hz, things should be pretty OK (sound from monitors only, and well away from walls ...).
By the time I can afford a MEN whatever, I hope to also be able to afford some nice larger full-range speakers ... this may be part of a retirement present to myself in about 10-15 years!

Nice JBL cinema setup. I always wanted to hear those.
I'm curious about the M/T passive crossover. Those speakers are for "behind the screen". I have some klipsch ones like that too. Thing is....all the passives available are EQ'ed according to THX specs behind the screen. There will be a rolloff of the highend and a prominence in the mids. W/o the screen.....the system sounded "shouty" in the mids.
I therefore had to go all active. Then EQ the "CD Horn" part myself with active EQ.

Hi, jwc
I don't have this problem, the sound is very good. It dosen't bothers me at all if I don't have any screen in front of the speakers. I will add a DBX Drivepack PA+ in my system soon. Maybe it will be better.
That is great to know. Glad you are liking the big horns......me like them too....wish i could hear yours....
I've had the dbx PA.....nice unit. no noise...clean. Lots of features...
Right now I have an Ashly XR-2001 on my big horns. love it. I also have the XR-1001 on another system an love it too.....it is the two way version.
I've had the EV Dx38. It is a digital unit...I liked it a little better than the dbx PA.
I would love to hear the DBX 4800....
Rock on big horn lover....

jwc.....Glad you like it, look at this.
Now I have change from DBX 223XL to Driverack PA+ and done some adjustment. As you can see the freq response has improved since the last time. I have not done any other changes such as room treatment or different speakers position, everthing is the same as before.
The difference in the bass region is due to the cutoff freq at 40 Hz Butterworth12 slope. A guy from the DBX forum advice me too do this, he said I could damage the cone. I can't explain why but I am testing it for now, will come back with some more info on that.
The reverb time T30 and CSD is the same, nothing has change here.
The green is DBX PA+ and the yellow is before.
That is a great looking curve.
Putting that 40Hz cutoff in there I would bet would make the bass for music more "snappy".....something I like. Throw in a movie.....well....
If you are sitting within 15 feet of those beasts, I can't imagine you would blow the cone.

Monsanto may not be a perfect company, but it sure doesn't deserve the constant hammering by the anti GMO-crowd. The lack of basic biologic understanding, and the willingness to accept the lies, the pseudoscience, and the bad science perpetrated on the Internet and "expert" journalists amazes me.
A letter writer on Oct. 15 implied that the oranges she purchased and which never molded, decayed, or lost their fresh, delicious taste in over three months could have done only if they were genetically modified. Problem is, there are no GMO oranges. She just had excellent storage conditions.
A letter writer on Oct. 23 claims that "Roundup is not biodegradable and remains in the soil indefinitely." Totally wrong. The biodegration of Roundup in plants and in the soil is well-researched and documented. The Roundup molecule is composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorous. When Roundup is applied to a plant, the plant immediately begins tearing the molecule apart.
If the application rate is sublethal, this process wins and the plant recovers. The byproducts of this degradation are carbon dioxide, ammonia and phosphate. The latter two are plant nutrients and end up in plant tissue, so the end result is a slight fertilization of the plant.
The plant cares not where its nitrogen and phosphorus come from — be it manure, a bag, or a degraded herbicide. Research has shown that this process is complete in 50 days or less.
So if you eat one of Monsanto's "Roundup Ready" plants 50 days after the Roundup application, no residue will enter your body. So how does Roundup sometimes show up in food samples? Mainly due to preharvest desiccation applications after which little degradation occurs. And that is a legal application to many crops, GMO or not.
Soil degradation of Roundup follows the same path. Bacteria break it into carbon dioxide and a weak organic acid, which is then divided into more carbon dioxide, ammonia and phosphate — once again, plant nutrients. This process is accomplished in a few weeks to several months depending on soil moisture and temperature.
Roundup kills green plants, and only green plants, by disrupting an enzyme that catalyzes the production of amino acids necessary for chlorophyll production. The plant starves to death. To counter this effect, Monsanto scientists transferred a gene from a soil bacteria that uses the same enzyme for the same purpose. The enzyme resulting from this gene, however, is slightly different. It ignores the Roundup molecule, allowing chlorophyll production to proceed. Meanwhile, the plant machinery dismantles the Roundup.
Vote "no" on Initiative 522.

Do you think that your reading is the *only* conclusion to be drawn from Oliva's post? In other words, are you claiming that Oliva is being disingenuous, incoherent, or just reckless? If is is possible to read Oliva's post differently than you do (which seems likely; it is a difficult thing to prove that denying your conclusion is tantamount to logical incoherence), and that reading is more charitable, then it is incumbent upon you to grant that charity. If not, however, then your critique stands.
"and that reading is more charitable, then it is incumbent upon you to grant that charity."ReplyDelete
Stephen, I gave this a *very likely* reading. And since we are talking about the sort of rhetoric which has, in the past, led people to fly a plane into an IRS building and blow up a Fed building in Oklahoma, it is, I think, incumbent upon Oliva to guard much more carefully against such a reading.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the court has no jurisdiction to review Obama's Sept. 28 decision barring the company from building wind farms near restricted air space the U.S. Navy uses for flight and bombing training and ordering the company to sell the Oregon properties where the facilities were to be located. The president's order came after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a national security panel led by the Treasury Department, recommended that the project be stopped.
Absent a successful appeal, Jackson's decision will end Ralls' effort to construct the turbines.
Ralls contends that the president's actions violated the company's due process because neither CFIUS nor Obama provided the company with a detailed explanation for how the project would threaten national security. The company also said its right under the equal protection clause were violated because a large percentage of the roughly 900 wind turbines operating within the vicinity of the restricted airspace are either foreign-owned or foreign-made.
The president's lawyers countered that the company was due no additional explanation and that the court, under the 1988 amendments to the Defense Production Act that created CFIUS, has no authority to review a presidential decision in a CFIUS proceeding.
The court agreed with the government in all but the due process claim, which means that the company might eventually get a better explanation of why it was barred from acquiring and constructing the facility, but won't get a chance to overturn the president's decision.
"The big story is that the challenge to the CFIUS process failed," said Stephen Mahinka, who handles CFIUS reviews for Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
In a statement Ralls said, "The court Friday ruled that it has jurisdiction over Ralls' primary claim that the presidential order violated constitutional due process. We look forward to litigating this matter on the merits and vindicating the rule of law."
In her ruling, Jackson said the legislation authorizing the president to rule on whether foreign acquisitions pose a national security threat makes it very clear the courts do not have jurisdiction to review the Oval Office's decisions on those matters. "The statue is not the least bit ambiguous about the role of the courts," she said. Despite the "artful packaging" of the company's claims that its constitutional rights were violated, "what plaintiff is urging the court to do is assess the president's findings on the merits, and that it cannot do."
Ralls is owned by two Chinese nationals, Dawei Duan and Jialiang Wu, who are also the CFO and a vice president of Sany Group Co. Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer whose products include wind turbines. Ralls has said it intends to identify opportunities for wind farm construction in the U.S. and to build Sany turbines on them to demonstrate their quality and reliability.
Ralls complained in its lawsuit that prior to CFIUS's July 25 order for the company to stop construction on and operation of four wind farm projects and remove its equipment, company officials had only one opportunity to meet with CFIUS members. They said they were never provided with information explaining CFIUS's belief that the deal would harm national security.
Since their inception in 2009 by Oregon Windfarms LLC, the projects had two additional owners before finally being acquired by Ralls sometime after March 2012. Ralls did not seek prior approval from CFIUS before acquiring the Oregon property. The order from CFIUS was unusual because the panel typically makes recommendations to the president on how to proceed with a transaction but does not challenge mergers on its own. Although CFIUS does not explicitly target acquisitions by Chinese buyers for extra scrutiny, the panel has in fact taken action against a number of deals by Chinese companies and individuals. Allegations that China's military has hacked into U.S. government and private corporation data systems and that country's periodic threats against Asian allies of the U.S. over territorial disputes are widely believed to be the cause of CFIUS's concerns. Belief that CFIUS has been tougher on Chinese buyers than those from other countries has prompted complaints from China's government.
Ralls sued CFIUS on Sept. 12, alleging that without presidential approval, CFIUS had no authority to issue an order that effectively kills the acquisition. Ralls amended its suit after Obama ordered the acquisition broken up. Berman dismissed Ralls' complaint against CFIUS because it became moot after the Obama's ruling.
The one point of Ralls that Jackson conceded should be examined is the possibility that the company's due process rights were violated. She disagreed with the government's contention that statute's proscription on reviewing the president's decisions on foreign takeovers covers due process treatment.
She said that although the court is barred from reviewing the merits of the president's decision, it still may be possible for the court to demand the White House explain what formed the basis of his decision. "There is a difference between asking a court to decide whether one was entitled to know what the President's reasons were and asking a court to assess the sufficiency of those reasons," she wrote. "The fact that plaintiff may not be able to use the information in a certain way does not answer the question of whether it is entitled to have it."

We all know that "political economy" is hot stuff these days. In this blog post, I will succinctly state my recent efforts on this subject. You will be relieved to know that all of my work has been empirical. I will discuss this work in random order.
Paper #1; In joint work with Stuart Gabriel and Ryan Vaughn, we use a unique micro data set to study a major subprime lenders' loans between 2003 and the end of 2006. We document that this bank played favorites in terms of Congressional Geography. Borrowers who lived in Congressional Districts where the Representative was a Congressional Leader, or this bank had previously made campaign contributions to the Representative, received "sweeter deals". This is especially true if the borrower was black. We argue that the subprime bank was seeking to win "political capital" with key members of Congress that it could cash in at a later date.
Paper #2; In joint work with Siqi Zheng and Sun and Luo, we study the promotion of Chinese Mayors and the role that environmental criteria play in the central government's promotion criteria. We argue that relative to Mao's time that the new generation of mayors have much stronger incentives to seek to mitigate urban pollution externalities and hence to supply "blue skies". This is a major theme in my new book manuscript (joint with Zheng).
Paper #3; In joint work with Cragg, Zhou and Gurney, we study Congressional Voting on greenhouse gas mitigation legislation such as the 2009 ACES bill. We document that 3 attributes of Representatives (district per-capita carbon emissions, district per-capita income, and the Representative's overall ideology) do a very good job explaining the propensity to vote in favor of low carbon legislation.
Paper #4; In ongoing joint work with Matt Holian, we examine California household level voting on low carbon legislation including AB32 and the California High Speed Rail. We document that both ideology and self interest are key determinants of voting patterns. Center City residents (relative to suburbanites) are more likely to vote in favor of low carbon legislation both due to "selection effects" and "life style effects".

Your Pontiac throttle body must be changed soon in case you've driven with it for more than 100,000 miles. As you know, the particular component is in fact composed of air valves liable for delivering air into your engine. The engine combines up the air with fuel and combusts this mixture to be able to power your ride. Because of this, you'll have all sorts of performance issues once the component has gone bad.
The most common types of throttle bodies in cars today are Throttle Body Injection and Muti-Point Fuel Injection varieties. No matter what type of your current throttle body is, you'll find out whenever it's failing because many areas of your performance are affected, which include acceleration, idle and power. A number of drivers make an attempt to clean their broken busted throttle bodies but that's a temporary remedy at best. It's smarter to buy a brand-new replacement part, which guarantees you're driving a vehicle safely and securely each time you're on the road.
Fortunately, you can easily get yourself a high quality Pontiac throttle body here at Parts Train. We've got budget friendly offers and also the most safe warranties in the industry, so look forward to finding awesome bargains on our website. We also make it a point to ship orders quickly because we don't want you to wait.

Local fans of mixing a little Southern rock with a lot of country music will have the opportunity to hear both when Nashville-based singer/songwriter Eric Church makes a stop in New Albany this fall.
Church, a critically-acclaimed country music artist, will headline the Tallahatchie Riverfest this September.
Growing up in Granite Falls, N.C., Church began singing as a child. He began writing songs at age 13 and later taught himself to play the guitar. During his college years at Appalachian State, Church formed a band, the Mountain Boys, that toured most of western North Carolina. He later graduated with a degree in marketing and moved to Nashville to pursue a country music career.
After a year of effort, Church made a song publishing deal with Sony/ATV Tree and his songs were recorded by other artists, such as Terri Clark's version of "The World Needs a Drink." He later began making demos with producer Jay Joyce, which led to his signing with Capitol Records Nashville.
Church's first album, "Sinners Like Me," was released on July 18, 2006 and, to his surprise, quickly
garnered him critical praise and a cult of rabid followers. The album's first single, "How 'Bout You," reached the country Top 20 before the album's release. Church's success led to the opportunity to open for Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and even legendary rocker Bob Seger.
Church's sophomore record, "Carolina," debuted at #17 on Billboard's Top 200 on March 24, 2009. Church said that, with the album, he wanted to explore new territory.
"I wanted 'Carolina' to go to some different places," said Church. "The first album was more aggressive and moody. This one is more diverse, more musical and a little brighter. I hope people can at least hear that we're still taking chances."
Church said that, unlike many contemporary artists, he doesn't just write singles.
" Most artists make singles and hope they end up with a record" Church said. "I prefer to make a record and hope I have singles. I love country music, and I am very reverent of the time that I have to make records. I make albums. I don't know how to do it any other way."
The Tallahatchie Riverfest will be Sept. 24-26 in downtown New Albany.

This is a story about Oso the pup and her soldier, Phillip. Phillip is currently deployed with the 5-2 Stryker Brigade to Afghanistan for 1 year and will return home in July 2010. He's been caring for Oso since she was about 5-6 weeks old.
She was saved from certain death when they found her in the mountains wandering, crying and alone with 2 other litter mates, with no mother to be found. So they took her back to the base and divided the pups up to people who were willing to help. He took her in, shared his meals with her, built her a dog house and made her part of their "pack". When he moved to a new base she was smuggled on board for the long trip to her latest home.
She is doing well, but Phil has been told that if the wrong person spots the dog on base she will be taken from him and shot. It's very common for dogs to be used for fighting, torture, and abused beyond belief in Afghanistan! It's hard to imagine doing this to a sweet pup who has only brought pure, unconditional love to the soldiers in Phil's unit during a time of war. She symbolizes a piece of home that the soldiers long for and miss so much. We owe it to her to make sure her journey has a happy ending.
Please help support Oso's cause by featuring her story and spreading the word to others about getting her out of Afghanistan. If she has to be left behind they will have to euthanize her. It's an unthinkable thought but one that is humane in the living situation there in Afghanistan.
Please help by putting our story on the news and assisting others in making a donation to help in the costs involved in her trip to the US. We've been told it will cost between $2500-$5000 US dollars for vaccines, rabies testing, transportation to a shelter by a local Afghan (very dangerous/unpredictable), from there shipping costs to the US east coast and then across the US to Seattle, WA. I would also like to mention that there are only a few organizations in Afghanistan that try to help get the animals home with their soldiers and they are amazing! These people risk their lives to save the lives of the animals there.
On behalf of Oso the pup and the Bourrillion family we want to thank you for any help you can give. God bless you for your kindness and generosity. Below is a link to her donation site and facebook page:

Our very own Alina Nevins won a CIO Spot Award from ITS. From the website:
A Support Technician wrote on behalf of several members of the ITS Help Desk to express thanks to Academic Technologist Alina Nevins, who wrote high-quality knowledgebase articles supporting Classes*v2. "The articles are very well written and clearly spell out what we need to know," he wrote. "I received a number of emails about Classes*v2 this morning. The articles made it very easy for me to provide information to the clients."
From ITG
Alina not only wrote high-quality knowledgebase articles supporting Classes*v2. She has taken over the very large support shoes of our dear retired colleague, Gloria Hardman (and is doing an extraordinary job of it). Alina offered hands-on training to HelpDesk staff regarding the use of V2. It's our first service which has tier one support at the help desk. She's managing the V2 queue and our great staffer Jennifer Colafrancesco's work on the service, mastering Drupal for course and educational technology services support, has just gotten a new "Senior Academic Technologist" title and is an all-around great team member.
Thanks Alina and congrats from the crew!

We like a strong neutral look, and we're always down for all-black. But we really do love a little bit of novelty in our clothing. Maybe it's a brightly colored accent piece, a weird hat, or a slightly off pair of shoes—it's all those little details that make or break an outfit. Today, we're totally obsessed with Rebecca's flouncy emerald green skirt, gingham shirt and toggle coat. The coat is #maj, but our absolute favorite part are her critter gloves. It's that little bit of humor and fun that elevates the entire thing.

Hey guys, I recently made a music blog and I was wondering if you could check it out and let me know what you think...the music is a lot of non-mainstream stuff that you don't hear all the time. This is my first time attempting this so if I could get some good feedback that would be great. Thanks!
Somewhere In The Loop - SITL
XV guy used autotune, lost lots of respect quick for that. That being said that chill song by him was pretty good. Verbatum sounds like something I might have to get, good find. Webby, never really liked him. Seems like he talks about struggles he doesn't really understand, stuff like that, and too much talk about buds. Just my opinion on him. Most of the stuff isn't really my sound, but once again that's my opinion. Liked what you said about people not giving songs a chance. That pretty much sums it up. I didn't have time to listen to everything as it's late, and I got class tomorrow...

Tonbridge MP's gay marriage comments overshadow our loyal politicians
Posted: February 09, 2013|
MOST of our local MPs backed the historic gay marriage Bill this week – but Tonbridge MP Sir John Stanley has found himself under fire for suggesting the move would "damage" young people.
Sir John and his Sevenoaks counterpart Michael Fallon were among the 136 Conservatives to vote against the Bill, while the four other parliamentarians for this area backed the Government.
However, Sir John, who supported the civil partnerships legislation in 2004, drew anger from gay rights charities with comments he made in a letter to his constituents in Tonbridge, Malling and Edenbridge.
The long-serving politician, 71, said he believed legalising gay marriage could be damaging to young people going through a "normal phase" of same-sex attraction before ending up heterosexual.
James Lawrence from Stonewall said: "Allowing more people to celebrate and formalise their love and commitment for each other won't 'damage' anyone.
"But suggesting to lesbian, gay or bisexual young people that they're 'going through a phase', as it appears to me he is doing, is profoundly damaging when over half of gay young people already face homophobic bullying every day."
Sarah McNally from The Lesbian and Gay Foundation added it was not a valid reason for opposing the Bill.
She said: "The Marriage (Same-Sex) Couples Bill is concerned with consenting adults who wish to have their love and commitment recognised equally in the eyes of the law and society.
"We feel MP Sir John Stanley is confusing the issue as young people's sexuality is not relevant in this case and do not feel it's a valid reason for opposing the Bill."
In his letter, Sir John explained: "I consider that enshrining gay marriage into law will be unhelpful, and in some cases positively damaging, to young people going through the perfectly normal phase of being attracted to other young people of the same sex before arriving at a heterosexual orientation subsequently."
He added he felt the legislation would create "considerable difficulties" for parents, teachers, churches and others who have responsibilities for young people.
Now the Bill has been backed in principle, it will receive more detailed scrutiny before becoming law.

NHL still waiting … MSG owner James Dolan willing to join talks … 3 options left of players … No CBA, no draft
- Nick Kypreos via twitter: No word from the NHLPA yet, but it looks like they like idea if some new owners would get involved. Aaron Ward via twitter: You would assume that the players would hesitate to the meeting if it's the same four owners. More likely to accept if there are new faces introduced into the process.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The NHL and NHLPA spoke yesterday to discuss ideas on what the ground rules for the player-owner meeting would be. If the players agreed to the meeting, they want some input on who would attend, and they won't agree to allowing the NHL to make requests on which players are involved.
"The owners don't get to choose which players are in the room," said a league insider Saturday. "If the owners want to talk, the players will listen, but I'm not sure the NHL is going to like what they hear back."
It's believed the NHLPA only wants it to be an exchange of ideas, and not a bargaining session.
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: MSG owner James Dolan is willing to join the stalled CBA talks in an effort to help end the NHL lockout. Dolan was a key figure on the NBA negotiating committee last year. It's not known if he has told Gary Bettman that he's interested joining the talks. The NHL has only allowed four owners to be involved on the negotiating committee, Jeremy Jacobs (Bos), Ted Leonsis (Was), Murray Edwards (Cal) and Craig Leipold (Min). If the season was lost, the Rangers could lose up to $60 million. The Maple Leafs could lose more than $100 million.
- Chuck Gormley of CSN Washington: After the failed mediation, there are 3 options left for the players: 1. The players representing themselves 2. The NHLPA filing a disclaimer of interest 3. The players decertifying.
- Allan Walsh via twitter: If there is no CBA, there is no draft. If the players end up decertifying, holding a draft would be violation against antitrust laws. Corey Pronman via twitter: The NHL held the draft after the new CBA was signed.
