There are so many different types of acne products that it can be overwhelming to the person who is already suffering from acne. If you have already gone out, browsed through the various acne products, you may find yourself exposed to the multitude of options that are available on the market today. This can make it particularly difficult for you to decide on any single product, thus making it more frustrating and aggravating for you.
Acne Products To The Rescue?
Acne can be a very difficult problem, because if it is on the face, it is the first thing that people see thus making you feel self-conscious and insecure. You may develop low confidence, and so the last thing that you need is to feel helpless and confused with all the different acne products claiming to be able to diminish all your acne problems when you try to find a solution.
On the other hand you should know that the solution to find the suitable acne products will be quick and easy for you as long as you take a few things into account.
How Do You Choose the Right Acne Products?
First and foremost you must make yourself aware of the different types of acne products that are available, because awareness will make you more informed and knowledgeable in general. There are mainly a few different categories: prescription medications, topical treatments, and oral treatments.
Prescription medications are the most common acne products used, and this consists of such products as Accutane and ProActiv, for instance. These are both extremely popular and famous acne products, both of which have a very high success rate among acne patients.
The topical treatments consist of any types of cream or powders that are applied directly onto the skin, and the oral treatments consist of pills and gel caps that are taken orally. Topical treatments are also a very frequently used and effective type of treatment for acne, and they work by reducing the small infections in the pores along with indirectly keeping the pores open.
However, the best way to properly determine which form of treatment suitable for you is to consult your doctor, or to engage a dermatologist. As they are professional and experienced, they will be able to diagnose your problem correctly, determine the severity of it, and thus be able to find the proper solution for you.
Working together with a doctor or specialist about which acne products to use, is the only way that you are going to be able to best deal with your problem and get long-term results.

NEW YORK -- Carlos Santana is smooth: The guitar god has gotten engaged after proposing onstage to his girlfriend, drummer Cindy Blackman.
The proposal came during a tour stop Friday in Tinley Park, Ill., outside Chicago. His representatives say he popped the question four songs into the concert after a Blackman drum solo.
She said yes, and they sealed it with a kiss, which was met with cheers from the crowd.
The multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner ended a 34-year marriage to Deborah Santana in 2007.
Blackman is a top drummer who has worked with the likes of Lenny Kravitz and Cassandra Wilson.
Santana says that he and Blackman are blessed to have found each other and says being in love "is a gift from the universe."

August is Inflatable Kayak month! The rapids are so much fun and more intense in one of these smaller crafts.

Good picture book by a local author.
Beautiful, written locally!
I love this book. It kind of reminds me of "The Giving Tree," but without the ending that always makes me cry. The rhyming is great for children's development, and the illustrations are so beautiful, I would love to have some of them as art on my wall!
What a lovely, amazing book with beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story! Love, love, love it!!
This is a gorgeous book that was written by an Ann Arborite. It's his first book and it's lovely! I would recommend it to anyone.

Sen. Barack Obama stopped by an Asheville barbecue restaurant to grab a takeout lunch in a break from his preparations for his next debate with Sen. John McCain.
The Democratic presidential candidate greeted diners at 12 Bones Smokehouse on Monday and returned to his motorcade after collecting an order of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, corn pudding and sweet tea.
Obama said the mountain of food was not all for him.
He told reporters outside the Grove Park Inn that Monday's falling stock values shows that last week's $700 billion rescue package isn't the end of what must be done to fix the U.S. economy.
Obama said Washington should help with high gas and food prices, support state and local governments facing layoffs, and extend unemployment insurance.

Charles' birthday
See more » Quotidian
Charles' birthday isn't until Saturday but I always give him some of his presents early. Telling him that we needed to talk to an envelope supplier I had Yance take me to Home Depot. There I bought a good pair of pruners (cheap pair died), some systemic Rose fertilizer, a herbicide sprayer (cheaper than last birthday's - Charles can't take care of anything) and a metal trellis for the unplanted climber roses (people with large estates have fewer roses than we do). Charles was delighted, I'm a weak second when it comes to his love, but who can be jealous of a rose garden? (OK, I can.)
I'd hoped to find him some more Chuck Wagon Gang CDs. The site that lists some and a couple of videos didn't have anything of an early enough vintage. They list stuff they don't have, wasn't ever made.
A couple of more presents will arrive by mail.
Googling about I'd hoped I could find him a tie-dye t-shirt based on the rainbow flag but had no luck. The current offering of tie-dye t-shirts baffled me. Looking I saw 'pagan' (ignorant twits) symbols, American flags, band worship. I was looking for random splotches of color that you wore when you were stoned and listening to Hendrix.
Surely I do love my little fellah with his narrow shoulders. Selfishly I hope we can keep things going until I lay my head on my pillow for the final time.

Lets forget that it can be fixed. I just don't want it to be a given that every long ball is a success.
We have had a horrible secondary for like 8 years now.
Two things are clear.
1. We don't believe in paying up for Safeties and CBs. Infact Belichick thinks that leaguewide CB rates have gone bonkers and believes CBs are way overpaid.
2. We suck at fixing from the draft. We have picked a Safety or CB or both in 1st or 2nd round in each of last 6 years and have nothing to show for it. Look at these draft picks.
2007 Brandon Merriweather Rd 1 - Serviceable - Released after rookie contract
2008 Terrence Wheatley Rd 2 - Bust
2009 Patrick Chung Rd 1 - Serviceable - Will probably be released end of this year
2009 Darius Butler Rd 2 - Bust
2010 Devin McCourty Rd 1 - Borderline Bust
2011 Ras-I-Dowling Rd2 - Unknown but haven't seen anything yet
2012 Tavon Wilson Rd 2 - Unknown but haven't seen anything yet
So we suck at drafting these. We refuse to pay market rates for these. What the hell can we do?

Weeks after the assault, the NYPD released the surveillance video to the public, seeking help identifying the assailant, seen following the victim down the stairs, repeatedly punching and kicking her, throwing her to the ground, and emptying out her purse while she's down. When she gets up and tries to flee, he briefly chases her.
As reported by Huffpost, shortly after Gawker posted the surveillance video on Tuesday night, a commenter on the site posted a link to Aidan Folan's Facebook page, calling Folan the "most likely suspect."
On his Facebook page, Folan is seen wearing a black hoodie with the Greek letters "Alpha Phi Delta" on the front and "Stugotz' (Italian slang for "balls") with the number 27 on the back.
The unsub in the surveillance tape had "Stugotz" emblazoned on his sweatshirt.
A fraternity brother outed Folan to the police.
Posters to Folan's Facebook page called him a "worthless fuck", a "coward" and an "asshole loser".
On Wednesday, the 21-year-old Folan was arrested in the city for assault and robbery.
According to NBC New York, Folan lives [with his parents Estelle and Lorcan Folan at 440 76th Street] in Bay Ridge.
The Daily News reported that Folan was a [2011] graduate of Bay Ridge's highly-regarded Xaverian High School, where he was apparently a varsity diver.
According to Folan's Facebook profile, he graduated from St. Francis College in Brooklyn with a degree in broadcast journalism, but according to the New York Post, he dropped out of St. Francis after a year.
Although his Facebook profile says Folan worked as a counselor at the Center for Family Life in Sunset Park, the New York Post reported he was just an intern there.
Folan has one prior arrest, for marijuana.
Folan has been released on $50,000 bail [Gothamist.]
The Alpha Phi Delta fraternity was founded by Italian-American students at Syracuse University in 1914 [New York Post.]

i see what you mean by double post's, i thought you were getting the same message twice, i will only post 1 time per response.

i cant even sign out of kong, im sure you guys get bomb barded with the same issues day in and day out so i know your busy but the reason why i havent quit posting here is i cant even sign out? if a mod could just sign me out maybe my issue will keep me from being able to sign back in and you wont have to deal with me anymore lol.
ido not see any double post's on my end?
like i said, i have never connected to "facebook" nor do i have a "facebook" account, bizarre may be selling my issue short.
kong is the extent of my internet use, with limited knowledge of the web i guess it is entirely possible that ive been hacked.
i do not own a facebook account.
my account isnt connected to facebook though?
is there anything that can be done here or are my kong days over? i would be notified if i was being kicked out of the site wouldnt I (though ive done nothing to get kicked for)?

Eli's helps Greater North Michicagan Avenue Association welcome American Bus Association Marketplace to Chicago
Feb 5
Friday evening marked the opening night of the American Bus
Association Marketplace in Chicago, Chicago is a City committed to tourism and
the restaurant, hospitality and retail industry has learned the importance of
bus and travel coach visitors to Chicago. On Friday night, the Greater North
Michigan Avenue Association hosted a dine around for 180 key travel
professionals, who were first treated to a trolley ride up Michigan Avenue where
they stopped at a number of key businesees. Then it was on to NBC Tower for a
"Taste of Michigan Avenue", followed by the incredible Ron Hawking performing in
the beautiful "His Way" Theatre right in the NBC Studio ( a story about the
theatre follows)>
Our thanks to Art Norm of NBC 5 for representing NBC at the event.
Art is a great Eli's fan and a consummate Chicagoan. His segment "Art Norman's
Chicago" is a great way to get a behind the scenes view of the City.
Welcome to the beautiful HIS WAY
Theater at NBC Tower, home to Ron Hawking in His Way – A Tribute
to the Man and His Music. The theater is most likely a very new experience –
part musical theater, part behind-the-scenes tour of a real working TV Studio,
and part old-fashioned fun! We hope to dazzle your senses and make your evening
one of Chicago's favorite entertainment experiences. In reality, a live theater
inside of a TV studio is – we believe… the first of a kind. Anywhere. We refer
to the theater as our home because it truly is home for a show that has
journeyed in search of the perfect venue to call its very own.
The realization of the HIS WAY
Theater in the spectacular confines of the NBC Tower began on a humorous note in
the summer of 2002 during our five-month-long SRO engagement in suburban
Arlington Heights, IL. Amid all the rave reviews, we really knew we had one of
the hottest tickets in town when one evening local police asked us "what are you
going to do about the people scalping tickets outside the theater?"
Our immediate reaction?
"Alert the media!!" (Trust us when we
say the officer didn't find this tongue-in-cheek response all that
This was a good problem to have! It
just reinforced what we already knew: the show was a hit – the most unique and
exciting evening of entertainment anywhere in the city, a show that could enjoy
a very, very long run in Chicago. However, since the venue was already committed
to a full schedule of other productions, we needed to take the show elsewhere.
But where?
If only we had our own home
During this same time, we considered
a serious opportunity to "take the show on the road – to Broadway – to the big
time." Similar offers had been presented before, and this particular offer
nearly became a reality.
But something just didn't feel
completely right.
If only we had our own home
We then conceded what we had known
for so long in our hearts – that Chicago IS the big time, an entertainment
capital and world-class city second to none. More importantly, it's the city we
proudly call home. There simply was no city that could give the show more heart,
more excitement, more integrity than sweet home Chicago.
And Chicago was also of course, Frank
Sinatra's kind of town.
The answer became clear – we needed
to find our own theatre once and for all! Our own home where night after night
Ron could be "the musical messenger", singing and swinging the amazing Sinatra
songbook with all of his God-given talent while helping fans escape and leave
their worries behind for a few hours.
Our ultimate goal – in reality –
became pretty clear: to help people feel good.
Be Happy. Feel
We then set off in search of the
perfect location, where we could create the ultimate entertainment experience,
an evening that would not only be a favorite of Chicagoans, but also a powerful
attraction and destination point for out-of-towners and visitors who wanted a
taste of what sophisticated Chicago nightlife truly is.
We were determined that our show find
a home in downtown Chicago, in the heart of the glamour and the glitz
that gives the city its soul. Downtown Chicago, Michigan Avenue – destination
points that we knew we had to be a part of. We wanted a theater that was close
to restaurants, parking, hotels and transportation so that Chicagoans as well as
visitors to our great city could easily enjoy a complete night out on the
After considering various locations
and visiting dozens of commercial spaces, we still had not identified the ideal
setting. We were certain that this show deserved the best, and we kept ALL of
our options open and through grandiose creative thoughts.
Then, a very "out-of-the-box" idea
struck like lightning.
Why not approach some of the local TV
station in town about renting some of their studio space? While not a
traditional commercial theatre space, they had everything we needed: location,
square footage, lighting, sound reinforcement, talented set designers, an
extremely unique place to visit, etc. And we had something they needed; a great
show they could be proud to be affiliated with and live audiences in search of
somewhere to visit during weekend evenings – when the studios were not being
used! Perhaps some forward thinking TV executive might realize they could turn
their studio into a seven day-a-week operation and welcome visitors into "their
home". Ultimately, we could create and design our dream home theatre… without
all the bricks and mortar!
We approached NBC, and the rest, as
they say…is history. Immediately, NBC executives embraced the idea and welcomed
us with open arms.
We're confident we've found our ideal
location in this 5,000-square-foot TV studio. With just over 300 seats, we had a
strong vision of what the showroom needed to be: a throwback to the legendary
Copa Room at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. We wanted to capture the
sophistication and elegance of that era of entertainment. Featuring ringside
cabaret table seating, romantic love seats (our own lover's lane!), VIP boxes,
dramatic on-stage table seating, high-back, tufted leather VIP booths and 190
beautiful, crushed red velvet theatre seats that once graced the Kennedy Center
in Washington, D.C. (it is believed Jacqueline Kennedy was involved in the
selection of these chairs), we offer plenty of unique choices and something for
With an elegant nod to Art Deco and a
distinctive throwback to the style of a glamorous era, the room became all that
we envisioned and more. The wonderfully versatile theatre proudly boasts
state-of-the-art sound and video systems as well as complete video capability
for television broadcasts and tapings. We have the capability for unlimited
creativity and the ability to host world-renowned entertainers, live broadcasts,
special events and ceremonies and private parties. Musically and technically the
theatre knows no bounds.
It is, truly,
Best of all… we have our OWN home
We wanted to share the story of our
new home with you, our audience, because we want you to feel at home when you
are here. We want you to feel that our intimate showroom, like a warm and cozy
home, is a place you want to visit time and time again. Sit back, enjoy a
cocktail or two and let the music take you away to a time not so long ago when
music was big and brassy, and the fabulous, tuxedo-clad crooner in the spotlight
made all your cares disappear.
Be Happy. Feel

Greenhouse Buying Info
- Greenhouses are sought after by many plant enthusiasts because they can control the growing environment. You can grow whatever type of plant you want at any point in the year. You can control outside factors such as how much water they get; how much light they get; and, how tall and wide they grow.
- Do plants make you happy? Many people enjoy having plants around because they are beautiful and it reminds them of pleasant weather. You can experience that happiness every day with the purchase of a greenhouse. You can extend the pleasantness of the fall and begin the spring early with your hobby greenhouse.
- Do you want to share your hobby with family and friends? Gardening is a great hobby to pass on to a child or friend. Perhaps a close friend can help share the cost of the greenhouse and both of you can regularly get together to care for the garden.
- Did you always want to grow your own vegetables? Now you can with the purchase of your hobby greenhouse. You can eat fresh vegetables anytime and know exactly how the process is done and what is added (or not added) to your foods. You can save costs on groceries and provide delicious foods to your family and friends.
- One of the best things about a greenhouse is that it serves as a protective barrier. You can grow plants anytime of the year regardless of the outside conditions. In addition, you don't have to worry about disastrous storms, children, bugs, or other outside factors disturbing the life of your plants.
- Sam's carries greenhouses of various sizes, shapes, and costs, so be sure to thoroughly look through our designated greenhouse section of the site. We have glass green houses; those that can lean against your house; greenhouses that are similar to a large tent; and more.

Shakespeare omitted to immortalize the George in the way Chaucer did its neighbour, the Tabard, in the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales: "Befell that, in that season, on a day / In Southwark, at the Tabard, as I lay". Chaucer even names the landlord, Harry Bailly – listed as "ostyler" in local records for 1380–81. Dickens similarly failed to set any scenes at the George, preferring the White Hart in The Pickwick Papers, and nostalgically summing up the rest of Borough's inns as "great, rambling, queer old places . . . with galleries, and passages, and staircases, wide enough and antiquated enough, to furnish materials for a hundred ghost stories".
Discouraged but not deterred, Brown sets out on a beer-lover's selective history of Southwark, loosely linked to the history of the George Inn. His reason for choosing the George over its more famous neighbours is simple: it was "the last man standing" after the Blitz flattened most of the other inns, taverns and alehouses that had for centuries lined the road leading to London Bridge and the City.
In its heyday it was at once a coach station, luxury hotel, office block, warehouse and pub There was an inn on the site at least as early as 1450 and probably earlier. (Chaucer's pilgrims in 1380 had choices for where to stay.) Destroyed in the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676, the George was rebuilt "on the old plan" a year later. It was vast, though not unusual in that respect – there were seven or eight other inns of similar size on Borough High Street, as well as numerous smaller establishments. Its long inn-yard and extensive stabling meant it could accommodate both wagons and stagecoaches, and in its heyday it was at once a coach station, luxury hotel, office block, warehouse and pub. From early morning till late in the evening, horse-drawn traffic came and went with the accompanying din and smells, dust, mud and manure. The railway age put an end to the bustle and much of the 1677 building was demolished in the late nineteenth century. The question of discrepancies between what survives and what is being celebrated becomes one of the structural underpinnings of the book.
Brown follows the history of the George Inn through changes to the building and, when possible, through the personalities of the landlords and landladies. He is open about his dependence on previous writers. His colloquial tone is pitched to suggest a self-taught bloke in a pub whose enthusiasm leads him into byways of research where he knows few others wish to follow; hence, he must fix their attention by outbreaks of facetiousness and exclamatory twists in the narrative. This can be wearing, as are the invented dialogues which graft modern jargon on to imagined Elizabethan scenarios – "I'm blue-skying, here, just trying to push ye envelope" – and the relentlessly chatty footnotes. But when he relaxes, Brown is entertaining and informative.
Across the river and beyond the City's regulatory sphere, Southwark was famous for providing entertainment: brothels, theatres, prize-fighting, cock-fighting, bear-baiting – for which the modern equivalents might be the London Dungeon or the Clink Prison Museum with their grisly recreations of torture and medieval surgery. It had many industries of note, most of them malodorous: leather tanning, soap boiling, vinegar- and glass-making, cocoa milling, shoepolish and hat-making. (In 1841, 3,500 hat companies in Southwark employed some 23,000 people.) Southwark ale was distinctively strong. Hops smelled pleasantly enough when warehoused in inn-yards, less so when brewing. At the large Anchor brewery, owned in the eighteenth century by Samuel Johnson's friend Henry Thrale, the first industrial beer was invented. "Intire Porter" was produced on a large enough scale to make it more economic for inns and alehouses to buy rather than brew their own. When the brewery was put up for sale after Thrale's death, Johnson declared they were not selling boilers and vats but "the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice". He was not wrong.
The railway age put an end to the bustle
Little of such wealth trickled down to the mass population of Southwark who had the reputation of being thieves, prostitutes and hard-faced, heavy-drinking villains. Prisons were numerous too; Brown notes the Marshalsea further south on Borough High Street for its association with Dickens, whose father was imprisoned there. Dickens is the key figure in the book's nineteenth- and twentieth-century history, not because of any actual connection to the George Inn but because the inn was cleverly branded and marketed as "Dickensian". Brown deconstructs some of the "Dickens scam", cheerfully recounting ancient quarrels about whether Pickwick and Sam Weller met in the White Hart or the George Inn and reminding us that they never met at all because "the book WAS MADE UP AND THE CHARACTERS NEVER EXISTED".
Still a working pub, the George Inn is now owned by the National Trust. Inevitably, Dickensian associations continue to be cultivated. Among other artefacts, there is a framed life-insurance policy made out in Dickens's name and signed by him. The legend is he left it after borrowing money from the landlord. In fact, the Sun Life Assurance company gave it to the George in 1943. It would be interesting to know why, and whether the Blitz had anything to do with it.

QuickGuideForYou.com -- Guide to Conserve More Fuel with Hybrid Cars Most hybrid cars are made for fuel efficiency but you can further squeeze extra miles by adapting good driving habits. Go easy on the brakes. Your hybrid car has the regenerative braking system that recaptures the energy lost from braking and stores it back to your batteries. If you brake slowly, you give your electric motor more time to store power thus, recovering more energy back to the batteries. Drive at slow speed. When you drive at a slow speed, you are running the electric motor. This saves a lot of gas. Avoid quick acceleration. Quick acceleration wastes a lot of energy. If you need to accelerate, do it gradually if possible. Check your tire pressure. Use and maintain the maximum recommended tire pressure for your car on the sidewall. Avoid rush hour. Stop-and-go traffic consumes a lot of gas. Use low octane gasoline. Not only it is cheaper, vehicles are actually designed to run well on low octane gas. Glide. If you are comfortable with driving back and forth to neutral, you can get the best out of your speed. Coasting in neutral gives you a longer cruise and better use of energy.

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Hybrid Car Radiation Many hybrid cars, including some models from Volvo and a model from Honda, have been found to exceed the current EMF safety levels. Toyota, who manufactures the hybrid car Prius, has refused to divulge EMF readings for the car to owners who have expressed safety concerns regarding EMF exposure. Hybrid cars are partly powered by a battery, which is usually in the rear of the car. In most hybrid cars, there is a cable that runs underneath the driver's seat. This cable carries high-voltage direct current from the battery pack in the rear of the car to the motor in the front. Truck drivers who sit on top of a mess of wires carrying similar voltage have been found to have high rates of kidney cancer. To date, there have been no studies done on the long-term effects of hybrid car radiation on passengers.

Glenn Beck's Arguing with idiots, another one about Hybrid cars.
Glenn argues with his idiot friend, Pat, about Hybrid cars.
With unstable oil prices and increasing damage to the environment from burning fossil fuels, the effort to convert from gasoline powered vehicles to those powered by alternative fuels continues. Automakers are introducing more gasoline-electric hybrid models which burn far less fuel than their all-gasoline versions. They are also developing plug-in hybrids which will have certain ranges over which they can drive without using a drop of gasoline. Engineers say these cars could achieve as much as 100 miles per gallon. In April 2008, I spoke with a plug-in hybrid advocate who made a presentation to the Columbia City Council.

What Edmunds.com says The 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid is an excellent choice for drivers who want a little fun between point A and point B. Too bad it's only sold in the eight states that have adopted California's emissions standards. Pros Excellent fuel economy, sporty handling, precise steering, top-notch interior materials, high crash test scores. Cons Can only be obtained in eight states, options are only offered in expensive packages, so-so backseat comfort. What's New for 2009 The 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid remains unchanged from the previous year, except for standard automatic door locks and four more exterior color choices. 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid Vehicle Overview Introduction Hybrids and other green cars, though known for being economical and earth-friendly, have a reputation for also being rather slow, odd-looking and uninspiring behind the wheel. Bucking the trend is the 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid. Although it has the outward appearance and driving manners of a conventional sedan, the Altima Hybrid sips fuel while keeping harmful emissions to a minimum. Borrowing heavily from rival Toyota's parts bin via a licensing agreement, the Nissan Altima Hybrid shares a fair amount of technology and components with the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It has a Nissan engine -- a revised version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the regular Altima and a specialized continuously variable transmission (CVT). These improvements result in a more refined powertrain with better acceleration ...
FULL TOYOTA PRIUS VS. HONDA INSIGHT @ INSIDELINE.COM: www.edmunds.com At the launch of the 2010 Toyota Prius, Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager for Toyota Motor Sales USA, tells us, "We'll face two challenges when the Prius goes on sale: the economy and the 2010 Honda Insight. "The good news for consumers is that the market has plenty of room for both the Prius and Insight in their respective segments," Carter adds. "Based on our 2010 projections, the Prius can achieve a theoretical 7 percent share of the industry's largest segment — midsize sedans. In the second-ranked compact class, the Insight could achieve a 5 percent market share." So it'll be a nice, peaceful coexistence for these two hybrid cars that just happen to look almost exactly like each other. Don't believe that? Neither do we. As the US economy continues its topsy-turvy performance, nobody's market share is safe. So it actually matters which hybrid car is better — the 2010 Honda Insight, which went on sale March 24, or the 2010 Toyota Prius, which hits dealers in late May. The Insight has already proven itself against the 2009 Prius. But now that the 2010 Toyota Prius has appeared with its bigger engine, all-new chassis and 50-mpg EPA-combined fuel economy rating, it is a much tougher hybrid cookie (bursting with high-fiber organic oats and fair-trade chocolate chips!).

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT: www.kbb.com Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Toyota Camry Hybrid offers the same roomy interior and sterling reputation as the rest of the Camry line, but in a greener, more eco-friendly package. With fuel economy figures in the mid 30s, the Camry Hybrid is certainly easy on the gas, and can actually operate solely on electric power in stop and go traffic and low-speed around-town jaunts. Bigger than Toyotas other hybrid car, the Prius, the Camry Hybrid not only offers a wider passenger cabin, but also more power and the security of a trunk. With 10 years experience building hybrid cars, one might assume Toyota would have a lock on the market. But stiff competition is always present, and the Camry Hybrid must now do battle with some equally impressive nameplates such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid.

If you've ever sen the car in the video it's called the Bricklin SV-1 and was made between 1974 and 1976. It's maker is Malcolm Bricklin, an American Entrepreneur. Bricklin brought Suburu to America from Japan, as well as Fiat X1-9, and the Yugo. In the 90s he turned his attention to making environmentally friendly vehicles, making an electric bike called The EV Warrior. Today, Bricklin is combining his experience with fuel cell technology and his knoweldge of manufacturing techniques and economics to create a line of plug - in hybrid vehicles or PHEVs, which he says can be installed in your car right now, making it more gas efficient. I sat down with Bricklin at the San Francisco screening of "The Entrepreneur" , a movie about him. In our talk, he revealed that he got a call that morning to be the President-Elect's "Car Czar", a job he turned down. He explained why.
The first hybrid car was introduced in 1905. It had two distinct power sources working together to make it run; gas and electric power. However, using only gasoline back then was cheap and easy to power, and the hybrid car was forgotten; until recently. Since the fuel widely used now is a non-renewable resource and becoming increasingly less affordable, the hybrid car is making a comeback. Hybrid cars are operated by a computer system called the Digital Drive Line. When you step on the gas pedal, you are telling the system how fast you need to go and the car decides whether to use gas, electric power or both. The benefit of the hybrid is that instead of running on gas for an entire trip, it uses non-polluting electric power when possible. The hybrid car is ideal for city driving and traffic. By using less gas, hybrid cars help cut pollution and helps save drivers money at the gas pump.

MADISON, Wis. - During their home opener against Illinois State university, the Marshall Thundering Herd limited them to 327 yards of total offense en route to their 35-10 victory. More impressively is the fact ISU ran 83 total plays, good for an average of only 3.9 yards per play. The Thundering Herd limited the big play and held their opponent to under 100 yards rushing on 40 attempts and notched an interception. This Saturday however, Marshall will face a tougher task when they enter Camp Randall Stadium to face off against No. 11 ranked Wisconsin. The following is a defensive look at Marshall:Defensive line: Knowing the Badgers racked up over 400 yards of rushing last weekend against Akron, Marshall must be able to slow the three headed attack of P.J. Hill, Zach Brown and John Clay, if they hope to find themselves in any position for the shocking upset. Anchoring the defensive line is 6-foot-2, 253-pound returning defensive end Ian Hoskins. Joining him up front is junior James Burkes, sophomore Delvin Johnson and end Albert McClellan.McClellan was named first team All-Conference USA in 2006 as well as defensive player of the year, but he sat out 2007 with an injury. In 2008, he is back and serves as one of the leaders of the Thundering Herd's defensive line. Something to watch Saturday afternoon is how Marshall's defensive line will withstand UW's offensive line that has an average 43-pound difference per person. Look for Hill as well as the other Badger backs to have another big day. Linebackers: Senior returning starter Maurice Kitchens, who finished second on the team in tackles last season, leads this unit. Against Illinois State, the middle linebacker recorded 10 tackles. The outside linebackers Mario Harvey and Corey Hart both saw limited action in their positions last season. In their season opener they tallied five and three tackles respectively. If the undersized Marshall defensive line is not able to slow the rushing attack of UW, most of the pressure will be placed on the linebackers. Cornerbacks: Sophomore D.J. Wingate started the last three games of the season for the Thundering Herd in 2007. He opened the 2008 season with three tackles. On the opposite side, redshirt freshman T.J. Drakeford will have the job of covering the UW receivers. In his first collegiate game last week, Drakeford recorded seven tackles, good for third on the team. Safeties: Arguably the Thundering Herd's best defensive player roams the field at the free safety position. Senior C.J. Spillman led the team with 131 tackles, 64 solo, a season ago and started of 2008 with much of the same by making 13 tackles. "The one guy on defense that probably jumps out more than anybody is No. 4," UW head coach Bret Bielema said. "They're free safety is all over the field and an all-conference player from a year ago."At strong safety, Marshall will start junior Ashton Hall, who started seven games a season ago. The amount the safeties will factor into the game depends on how well the Badgers rush the ball. Regardless, look for Spillman to be involved in making many tackles throughout the game. Special teams: Marshall will start two specialists with limited experience at the collegiate level. Place kicker Craig Ratanamorn left the Thundering Herd soccer program to try his luck as a football player. At punter, much like UW, Marshall will start a true freshman. Kase Whitehead punted six times a week ago for an average of 41.2 yards per kick. At kick returner, running backs Darius Marshall and Chubb Small will return kicks. Meanwhile, wide receiver Emmanuel Span and Marshall will return punts. Prediction: UW wins 41-21. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Dear members
We submitted the Spring addition of Planta Carnivora to our Graphic Designer at the beginning of January. Unfortunately we still do not have a first pdf draft back, though it is pending. Our Graphic Designer does this work as a second job and gives us exceptional value for money, though is resulting in delays. We looked at going to a full-time Graphic Designer for 2011, but the cost was prohibitive.
I hope members are satisfied that we are getting you a quality publication despite the wait. Rest assured I'm constantly working in the background to get it to you ASAP.

I must say that whilst it is good that you get the work done at a reduced cost, the delay does seem a little excessive.

I must say that whilst it is good that you get the work done at a reduced cost, the delay does seem a little excessive.
Dear CPS Members
We are still waiting for the draft for the Spring 2011 Planta Carnivora. My best estimate at this stage is that it will be the middle of May before a copy is posted to you. This is frustrating to us all and comes on top of previous delays. A permanent solution to prevent delays in future will be discussed and resolved at the AGM.
I can only apologise, despite my best efforts, for this delay.
Kind regards

Why I Like Being Wiccan or Pagan
Beliefnet members discuss what their religious beliefs mean to them.
Prev. Religion Next Religion
Main Page
like being Pagan because my Paganism affirms the sacredness in all life. I don't have to go looking for a holy place, I have only to walk outside to see the Spirit inherent in life. It's a faith that flows through every aspect of life, tethering you to the magnificent world around you and reminding you at every step that all life is connected and interdependent. Paganism is my cauldron of endless sacred inspiration.
love being Pagan because
sex is holy and
love is a sacrament,
birth is a miracle and
death is a sad rejoicing;
animals and plants and
rocks are my Brothers and Sisters,
and sin is an alien concept;
And when the wind whispers my name
and the creeks and rivers sing me songs,
and the trees tell me secrets,
and when priests can be men or women
and the Lord and Lady hold us all
in the arms of the World-
Then I love being Pagan
even more.

Sciences at MSU Billings
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science are core programs in the sciences at MSU Billings. Biology is the study of living organisms. Biologists study interactions among and within organisms in order to understand processes characteristic of life. Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science are physical sciences exploring the composition, structure, properties and interactions of matter. Chemistry is the study of differences and similarities of elements in order to understand how they interact to produce diverse molecules. Physics examines the properties of atoms and laws governing the makeup of matter. Earth Science is the study of minerals and soils, their origin, change, and distribution. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that foremost seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be.
Science faculty at MSU Billings encourage undergraduate students to participate in research. Every student is given the opportunity to explore a research problem in the sciences under the guidance of a faculty sponsor. Faculty conduct research in molecular genetics, microbiology, animal physiology, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, topics in laser spectroscopy, plant physiology, plant systematics,
geology, and ecology and evolution. Active involvement in research with faculty is an important part of student success in the sciences at MSU Billings.

For example, our Biology and Chemistry teaching licensure programs allow students to enter the teaching profession with appropriate expertise and licensure to teach in Montana. Our new program in Medical Laboratory Science will allow students to achieve national certification for a career in clinical/medical laboratory science. Students seeking jobs with private industry, state (e.g. Fish, Wildlife & Parks) or federal (e.g. FBI) agencies have also been successful. Alternatively, many of our graduates choose to continue their training beyond a four year undergraduate program. They have been accepted in professional programs in the health sciences (medical, dental, pharmacy & veterinary medicine) and major university graduate programs leading to a master's degree or Ph.D. in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Advising Information
Academic advising for all freshmen Arts and Sciences majors is initially provided through the Advising Center on campus. Science majors are then assigned a faculty advisor in the Sciences with expertise matched to their interest. Students meet with their faculty advisor each semester to review their progress and make any changes required for a complete and accurate Plan of Study to satisfy program requirements in a timely manner. Faculty advisors also work with students to explore internships, cooperative education placements and opportunities in research to enhance the student's academic program. In addition, faculty advisors provide assistance in selecting elective courses which support the student's interests, career plans and Plan of Study. Students are ultimately responsible for meeting degree requirements, and science faculty at MSU Billings believe very strongly that academic advising is a vital component to ensuring student success.
Biology programs available at MSU Billings include (1) the Biology Major (2) the Biology Minor, and (3) the Biology Teaching Minor. The biology major also has several options and plans of study to allow students to specialize in an area of interest. The biology curriculum is designed to provide biology students with the opportunity for the best possible undergraduate education in biology. In addition to the transmission of factual information, the biology curriculum places emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills in contemporary areas of biology. This is accomplished through a combination of lecturing, experimental laboratory exercises, independent learning by data analysis, research and field projects, seminars, incorporation of extensive writing, library research, and use of computers in data analysis.
MSU Billings' program in biology begins with a two-year core curriculum emphasizing the broad scope of biology through coursework in biological principles, biological diversity, cell biology and genetics. Other required advanced courses and electives are taken in the junior and senior year. While building a solid foundation in biology, the program allows students to match their interests with professional requirements.
Students in biology at MSU Billings have an opportunity to focus on specific areas in biology through a variety of options and plans of study. Options available to students include Environmental Sciences, Biology Teaching Licensure, and Chemistry Teaching Licensure. The Environmental Sciences Option offers in-depth specialization to include an area of biology having regional and global importance. Specialization in biology is possible with the choice of an appropriate plan of study and in consultation with the faculty advisors who can provide students with the best educational experience at MSU Billings.
All students in the Biology program also take a Capstone seminar course in their senior year. This course is designed to ensure a standard of excellence in knowledge of basic biological concepts, and integration of those concepts with other areas in Science.
A maximum of five semester credits of BIOB 490, 492, 494, 495, and 498 can be applied to the BA or BS degree as unrestricted biology electives. Excess credits earned in these courses may still be applied to graduation as unrestricted electives.
Chemistry programs at MSU Billings include (1) the Chemistry Major (2) the Chemistry Minor and (3) the Chemistry Teaching Minor. Students taking the first two years in a chemistry program will have a well-rounded background in organic and inorganic chemistry. Students majoring in chemistry will receive additional training in physical chemistry, quantitative chemistry, instrumentation, biochemistry and advanced organic or inorganic chemistry.
The chemistry program is designed to be flexible enough to meet individual interests of students and comprehensive enough to be competitive nationally. A chemistry major can expect to find employment in private, state, or federal laboratories ranging from research and development to quality control. Course selection and/or selection of a minor can open additional choices in other fields such as biology, geology, business, or health sciences. Graduate education is encouraged as an avenue to expand career opportunities.
Earth Science
Earth Science programs available at MSU Billings include (1) the earth science minor with an emphasis in Geology and (2) the Earth Science Teaching Minor which covers a broader field of the earth sciences leading to teacher licensure.
The Earth Science Minor with a geology emphasis provides opportunities for study in the areas of: landform development, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, crystallography, earth history, earth structures, and independent research. Students completing this program may find employment in the geological, engineering and environmental areas as well as employment as interpreters with park systems, nature centers and museums.
The Earth Science Teaching Minor provides opportunity for study in a broader area of earth sciences including geology, meteorology and astronomy. This broader field of study leads to an earth science teaching endorsement in the State of Montana. Students completing this track of study would be predominantly employed by educational systems.
Broadfield Science
The Broadfield Science program offers students a broad-based foundation in the sciences through coursework in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics. The program provides graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for positions requiring a broad-based foundation in all sciences.
The Broadfield Science Degree with Teaching Endorsement is especially attractive to students interested in teaching science because they will have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. With additional Professional Core requirements met for teacher licensure, students entering this program would be regarded as "highly qualified" according to national standards, and thus qualify for K-12 teaching opportunities in broadfield science.
Geography programs available at MSU Billings include (1) a Geography Minor and (2) a Geography Teaching Minor.
Students seeking a Geography Minor will be provided with an opportunity to study the phenomena, events and physical properties on the Earth's surface, including their interrelationships with human beings. Students in the program will learn specific geographic techniques and their applications to regional, national and global levels. Technical skills in mapping, computer applications and survey research will be presented. Students completing this program may find employment with planning, interpretative and governmental agencies.
The Geography Teaching Minor will provide education majors with the necessary skills to obtain a teaching endorsement in geography. The student will be provided with an opportunity to study both the physical and cultural aspects of geography. However, the greater emphasis is on the cultural aspects of geography and their application to educational instruction. Students completing this program would be prepared to seek employment in regional, state and federal educational programs.
Physics programs available at MSU Billings include (1) the Physics Minor, (2) the Physics Teaching Minor, and (3) the Pre-engineering program. Physics is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions; this includes all physical structures and phenomena. Experiments and observations in physics have shown that the operation of the universe at all levels is based on a few fundamental laws. The study of physics is the study of these laws and their applications.
Requirements for the pre-engineering program and physics teaching minor are listed under the Pre-Professional Program and College of Education sections, respectively. It is recommended that chemistry teaching majors complete their teaching minors in physics, since many high schools require the teaching of physics and chemistry by the same individual. Chemistry and math majors should also consider a minor in physics.
Medical Laboratory Science Program
Students wishing to become medical/clinical lab scientists may choose the Medical Laboratory Science option in the Biology Program.
Additional credits are required because a fifth year of clinical experience is required in this program. Professional training programs approved by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science (NAACLS, www.naacls.org) are 12 months in duration. In the fourth year, students apply for an internship consisting of 37 credits of clinical experience during the summer, fall, and winter semesters in an approved training program at one of the following institutions: MSU Bozeman; University of North Dakota, Grand Forks; Sacred Heart School of Medical Technology, Spokane, Washington; The Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Sciences, Aurora. Upon completion of the internship, students will be qualified to take a national registry examination administered by the American Society for Clinical Pathologists or the National Certification Agency.
For additional information, contact Dr. Rhonda Dillman at (406) 657-2031 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pre-Medical Sciences
Students interested in professional programs in medical sciences such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physician assistant, physical therapy and pharmacy must obtain a Bachelor's degree in preparation for most of these professional programs. No specific undergraduate major is required for most of these health professions, but a strong academic background in biology and chemistry is expected for admission to these programs.
Medical science programs look for students who are well-rounded. Individual plans of study can be designed in consultation with a faculty advisor to provide the student with the maximum opportunity for pursuing goals. Students seeking admission to a medical science program apply to an appropriate professional school before graduation from MSU Billings. Biology and Chemistry faculty assist and advise the student in arranging these applications.

50 Cent
The bullet-proof rapper who is worth more than a few cents
Thu 1 Dec 2011
He might be called Curtis James Jackson III but he's 50 Cent to you and me.
The In Da Club rapper swapped a life of crime for a career in rap, but not before being famously shot nine times. Bearing the scars, two years later 50 Cent signed a multi-million pound record through Eminem and went on to release Get Rich or Die Tryin'. The album has since been certified eight times platinum.
Since then, 50 Cent has had numerous hits and collaborated with artists such as Nicole Scherzinger, Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake. Billboard Magazine declared him the No.1 rap artist of the last decade.
50's career has not been without trouble, having a number of high-profile feuds with the likes of Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and Wyclef Jean. Most recently, 50 Cent fell out with his record label Interscope, leading to the delay of his anticipated fifth album Black Magic. Recorded and ready to release, we hope 50 Cent kisses and makes up very soon so we can hear it!
