Wednesday April 24th, 2013 - 12:36PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Bialetti has announced that its Aeternum Pink royalty program raised more than $55,000 in 2012 in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. In 2011, Bialetti selected the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which is committed to spreading knowledge and fostering hope in the fight against breast cancer, to receive a donation on all net sales of the Aeternum Pink 2-pack sauté pan set of 9.5- and 11-inch pans.
The set has a suggested retail price of $59.99 and is sold at Bed, Bath and Beyond and on bialettiship.com.
"We're proud to do our part in continuing the quest to not only end breast cancer but prevent it," said Brett Bradshaw, president, Bradshaw International. "Our Aeternum line of sauté pans are very popular with consumers and creating the pink color version was just a perfect fit to help contribute to this worthy mission. We look forward to donating more royalties as our Aeternum Pink program continues."
Janelle Hail, president and CEO of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, said, "Breast cancer is a leading health crisis for women in the U.S. We are very grateful for Bialetti's financial support, which helps us educate women about life-saving techniques of early detection and provide free mammograms for the underserved."
The Aeternum Pink Cookware incorporates Bialetti's white, ceramic non-stick coating, which is PFOA-free. It is paired with a heavy-weight aluminum base designed to provide even heat distribution.

The F-150 got screwed by the olds b/c they stopped to get there car worked on which put them 2+ hours behind in the second to last leg of the race. Olds won the challenge by 15 seconds giving the F-150 the 2 hours to make up.

Reading Sites
Social Difference and Reader Response
- Editors: Patrocinio P. Schweickart, Elizabeth A. Flynn
- Pages: viii & 357 pp.
- Published: 2004
- ISBN: 9780873529853 (Paperback)
- ISBN: 9780873529846 (Cloth)
Reading Sites explores how social differences condition and shape reader response. Bringing to the fore a key but long-unexplored issue, this volume extends reader-response theory and unites it with more recent discussions on the ethics of reading to consider how readers from different class, gender, racial, and ethnic positions respond to texts, authors, and other real or imagined readers. Integrating scholarship from literary studies and composition and rhetoric, Reading Sites examines a host of genres, from nineteenth-century working-class autobiographies and twentieth-century women's confessional magazines to detective fiction and book-club selections, to question how various groups of readers and authors identify with competing social hierarchies.

I use the plugin WP_thread comment http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-thread-comment/
I was testing it out and replied to a few of my own comments. Then when I tried to delete the comment that I was replying too (the upper most comment) i got a blank page. I went to my admin and it said I had no themes! I had lost my Wp_content folder! Vanished! I had to start all over again from a two week old backup. It is okay now, but I am afraid to delete a comment that has replies on it.
Why did this happen? is it possible that deleting this comment was the cause? What do i do? thanks for any replies

Advice plz!! Chase Freedom !! (and some questions about score reports)[ Edited ]
10-07-2012 06:08 AM - edited 10-07-2012 06:16 AM
Hi, all.
This is my very first post here. I'm new here and just starting to learn how to garden
And it would be great if you guys could give me some ideas on
1) my chance of getting approved for Freedom
2) max CL I could get appvd/ask for. (I've never asked for CLI before, and I think it's about time to ask..)
3) I see some Inquires on my TransUnion report 1 "Regular Inquiry" (by BOA), 1 "Promotional Inquiry" (by AMEX), 3 "Account Review Inquiries". (by BOA and FIA CSNA)
Are these all what's called Hard Pull?? If they are, are they harmful to my credit?
From checking my scores through each of the bureau,
-TransUnion: 761, Grade: C (I don't know what that means)
-Equifax: 749
-Experian: for some reason score is not available ( I'm suspecting that BOA hasn't been reporting to Experian??!!)
Currently I have 2 revolving accounts with BOA (AOA: 2yrs) and I have no baddies.
1) Boa Visa Platinum ($1000, since May 2008) 2) Bank of americard Travel Reward ($1000, since Sep 2012)
*my visa plat started as secured card and unsecured 3yrs ago. *I didn't get instant approval for Travel Reward card, after analyst's manual review I was apprvd.
Thanks for reading my post

Page 5 of Baking Soda reviews
Read or post reviews on thousands of acne products & treatments.
The list of ingredients above is provided for informational purposes only. Always check the actual product label in your possession for the most accurate ingredient information due to product changes or upgrades that may not yet be reflected on our web site.
Where to buy
Acne.org is not associated with this product. All proceeds from links go to charity.
[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I use the Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub all over my face, neck & in between my breasts, gently (except around my nostrils & that little dent between your bottom lip & chin, I give those areas a good scrub) then I apply, gently, baking soda all over my face & mix it in with the aveeno. I'll leave it on for a minute or two then I'll scrub my face under the water until it washes clean. When I get out of the shower I apply baking soda all over my face, followed by a super light layer of coconut oil, then one more layer of baking soda just to absorb most of the oil.. leaving it on all day.
I rarely get normal zits and I occasionally get black heads. Most of what I get is large cystic acne caused by a hormone imbalance. I use proactive as well as keep my face clean but the cysts prevail! I make a paste of baking soda and water and put it all over my face because I read about it on several sites. I kept it on for about 20 min. It burned a little that's why I give it 4 stars. When I woke up in the morning my swelling from a few spots were reduced, and one that was emerging and becoming painfull retreated! I suggest trying a spot on your chin before you enduldge in a full mask so you don't burn yourself if you're sensitive.
I have breakouts all over my face, I think it has something to do with my thyroid disorder, so after doing some online research, I bought a box of this baking soda (earlier today) and decided to give it a try.
First, I washed my face using an apricot scrub bar and rinsed it off thoroughly.
I then poured some baking soda into my palm, along with a little water, and applied it to my face, scrubbing GENTLY!
It started burning instantly, which I thought was normal... But then after about 30 seconds it started burning like crazy and become intolerable so I quickly rinsed it off with cold water... It still burned a little so I rinsed about 2 more times...
OMG when I dried my face I saw that I had huge burns all over my cheeks and on my forehead... Which are oozing!!!
I am so sad right now... And on top of that, my face is completely dried out... I applied some moisturizer but it was stinging... So now I am sitting down with peanut butter all over my face... Ugh!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I PUT BAKING SODA ON MY FACE....
Last night I used this to get rid of acne marks, I left it on for only about 15 minutes because it was burning so much. I woke up this morning with two huge burns and a couple small ones. They have been oozing and stinging non stop. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Use a product that's actually meant to be put on your face.
Works for a day in drying out pimples but they come back and the stuff is (eventually) very irritating to the skin. Not a long term solution.
Tried so many over the counter washes and acne treatments and nothing seemed to ever work!!!!I have very oily skin and still broke.out at 28 with acne, tried making baking soda face masks by just adding a bit of water to a a handfull of baking soda. It seriously works better then anything, keeps my skin from being a oil slick all the time somehow. A bit too much too scrub your face with, irritates mine that way. But wetting my face a few times a week and doing the mask is amazing, took alot of redness away also!!!!Try it!!!!
Okay. I found a recipe on the internet for how to get rid of black head. Being myself, went and tried it. I put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a bit of water to make it a paste. I put my head over boiling water to open my pores. Once i did that... i applied it to my face! At first it was a stinging sensation and then it sort of dried but not fully. I knew something was wrong, so i went back to the bowl and washed my face with a war cloth and warm water. It had tightened my pores. It also on the other hand was really smooth. I recommend if you are using this... to put a toner or a moisturizer on STRAIGHT after you wipe the scrub off. SO you get your PH evel up in your face!!
The good side is that my face has never and i mean never been this clean. Its so soft and No blackheads after my FIRST GOOO!!! I thought that was amazing!!
Baking soda has a pH of 9, and science says that skin's optimal pH is 4.7-5.5. It's optimal because the bacteria that causes acne dies when it's in slightly acidic environment. All baking soda does is dry out your skin, increase acne in the long run, and damage the acid mantle.
I've heard a lot of love/hate for this, but let's calm down. Baking soda is really cheap, even if you get organic/natural. All I do is put some water on my finger, dip it in the box, and apply it to each wet pimple after washing my face. However, you have to be careful not to get the paste on the rest of your skin or it will dry it out. Leave it on for less than 5 minutes, and use a washcloth to wash it off with cold water. Apply a toner if your skin is too dry. I do this no more than once a day.
Baking soda would leave my skin very dry if I didnt immediately put coconut oil on afterward. Since using it though, my skin has cleared up a lot. My method would probably make people shudder.
Coconut oil moisturizer
Baking soda wash
Spot treatment with wart remover.
Yes wart remover. I apply it very fast, wipe it off, and cover it with coconut oil and its been working.

SAN FRANCISCO A sophisticated group of hackers believed to be associated with the Chinese government, who for years targeted U.S experts on Asian geopolitical matters, suddenly began breaching computers belonging to experts on Iraq as the rebellion there escalated, a security firm said on Monday.
CrowdStrike Inc said that the group is one of the most sophisticated of the 30 it tracks in China and that its operations are better hidden than many attributed to military and other government units.
CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch said he has "great confidence" the hackers are affiliated with the government, though he declined to provide many details on the matter.
China's Foreign Ministry repeated that the government opposed hacking and dismissed the report.
"Some U.S. Internet security firms ignore the U.S. threat to the Internet and constantly seize upon the so-called China Internet threat. The evidence they produce is fundamentally untrustworthy and unworthy of comment," spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing in Beijing.
CrowdStrike has a number of former U.S. government officials on its staff and has produced a number of influential reports on overseas hacking groups.
The United States will press China to resume cooperation on fighting cyber espionage to ensure an orderly cyber environment, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday ahead of annual talks between the world's two largest economies this week in Beijing.[ID:nL4N0PJ0MT]
Over the past three years, CrowdStrike said it has seen the group it calls "Deep Panda" target defense, financial and other industries in the United States. It has also gone after workers at think tanks who specialize in Southeast Asian affairs, including former government experts.
On June 18, the same day the rebel group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which is also called ISIS, attacked an oil refinery, the Chinese group began going after the digital documents of U.S. think tank employees who are experts in that region, Alperovitch said.
He said that Iraq is the fifth-largest source of crude for China, while China is the largest foreign investor in Iraq's oil infrastructure, so it would be natural for China to be concerned about the insurrection and potential U.S. responses.
Alperovitch said that while hacking groups suspected of government backing do shift the industries they are going after, he could not recall such a sudden change in "tasking" before this.
"It really suggests you have pretty good control from probably very high levels of Chinese government over these individuals," he said.
Alperovitch declined to identify the think tanks, which are using CrowdStrike's detection and analysis tools free of charge.

I cant get it to work on the $50 robot circuit using Ponyprog
Sorry. I was just blindly following your tutorial. lol. Thanks. I have used AVRprog to program my robot and it sort of worked. The trouble now is that my robot just spins around and the sensors have no effect. Any ideas? I am a complete idiot at all this robotics stuff.
When I cover the photoresistors the led glows brighter and when I uncover them they glow dimmer, but the servo's are not turning at all.

unsatisfied with performance of Air Conditioner?
October 23, 2015, 03:45:17 pm »
Hello, after spending some time in the Phoenix, AZ area I decided to upgrade to a 15000 btu roof A/C from the 13,500 unit that came factory installed and hope this will improve the cooling enough in our 3100 PC so it is tolerable in hot climate....I have seen a few PC's that have two roof A/C but know it would be too spendy to put 50 amp service in my coach.

We have a single Coleman Mach 8 (15000 BTU) in our 2552. Our experience in very hot weather is that it will cool down the rig 20 degrees below outdoor temps, so if it is 100 degrees out there we can only assume we will have an interior temp of 80. We do have double paned windows, but have not done the best job of insulating for very hot or cold weather yet...just one of those reflective windshield panels. We will definitely be putting together some additional items for insulating the thing..... Cab area side window panels, panels to cover the fantastic fan openings, etc. The coach door seems to be a major source of heat in the summer and cold in the winter, so we are making an insulation sheet to cover the door (and around the frame) and installed with Velcro. A lot of infiltration comes from the bathroom skylight as well. We also notice a positive difference when we turn the cab a/c controls to recirc before shutting the engine off. Lastly, finding a shady site helps, or at least a site that has the sun on the side that does the most good....for us, we generally want to be able to block the sun with our awning which helps keep the rig cool and provides an outdoor shady site to relax.
There is a significant difference in our rigs size compared to yours. I would expect a positive difference by upgrading to a 15000 BTU unit, but I think you'll need to insulate as well.

Thanks for the reply Mike, your suggestions all sound like they might help...we thought maybe we could shut the sliding door to the bath area to make the inside smaller, don't spend too much time in the toilet during the hottest part of the day anyway...I found a great deal on an Atwood 15K with heatpump and it seems to move a lot more air than the original Penguin ll unit.

I know what hot is and that is for sure. We live in an area that can get very hot and we owned Class B motor homes for years and years. They have lots of windows and very little insulation since they are a van conversion. Our Roadtrek was 21 feet long and had an 11,000 BTU heat pump unit and it was virtually ineffective in the hot summer. The nature of the beast is hot HOT and HOTTER. Here is something that Class B folks swear by:
You cut out pieces of this stuff just slightly larger (1/4 inch or so) than the dimensions of a window and just pressure fit it into the window frame on really hot days, then you pull all the curtains or close all the blinds as the case may be. For the front part of the cab, the side windows and windshield is the culprit. You make the cutouts a little larger on the side windows on two sides and bottom and a little smaller at the top leaving a gap at the top and you lower the side windows slightly (1/4 or 1/2 inch) thus providing an escape hatch for the hot air. The windshield can most effectively be dealt with from the outside by using one of the commercially available covers available.
Instead of shuttering the vent fans, try cracking them slightly. That will allow hot air to exit since hot air rises, cool air settles.
One of the reason we got away from our beloved Roadtrek was simply the heat making summer camping in it a sometimes impossible situation on bright sunny days.
This Reflectix stuff is cheap and can be purchased in various size width rolls at Lowes or HD. You might give it a try and see how you like it.
By the way, all those cutouts of Reflectix we stored by simply putting them under the mattress. The stuff is only about 1/4 inch thick. You can also use it to line other areas that have heat problems, like the back of cabinets that get hot from the outside walls.
Here is some other options for the front:

Hi Karl,
When you are in those extremely hot temperatures, are you staying in that camp site for weeks at time? If you are, it might be worth making a shade canopy that covers above and around the rig. It would take tall 2x2 poles in front & back, and shorter ones along the sides, roped-& staked all around. Big screws into the ends needed to set through the eyelets of the tarp, and for the ropes to attach to. You might have to make a stand to place on your PC roof to hold up the middle if it sags. You'll want the a/c unit to breathe, allowing the heat to escape out the ends of the gable.
At a family reunion, my cousin setup such a canopy using a huge cheap tarp which provided massive shade for everyone. It was so big that you could surely park a PC under it. I just did a quick search and found
. If it works well but does not hold up well year after year, then buy something more durable. I would first set it up in your back yard at home to learn how it's going to work in a camp site. Of coarse such a canopy would be vulnerable to strong winds so keep that into consideration. It is just a thought, not a proven idea for covering a PC.
Adding reflective insulation on all windows is effective, but that would turn the motor home into a cave. I am just tossing out the canopy idea to avoid blocking out the light and to keep the sun off the entire rig. Unfortunately the blue tarp I linked to will surely provide a lot of blue light inside. A white tarp would be ideal, and cooler too.
There are also window shades available for the windows on the left side of the rig. We have one for our dinette window, shown here in the "stored" position. But the sun still beats down on the over-all motor home.

Rio de Janeiro, May 3 (EFE).- Brazilian state-controlled energy giant Petrobras, whose production mostly comes from deep-water fields, will step up its search for onshore natural gas reserves in the coming years, CEO Maria das Graças Foster said Friday.
In remarks at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, she said one of the priorities of Petrobras' Strategic Plan 2030 is to develop reserves of natural gas and so-called non-conventional gas.
"One of the key activities of the Plan 2030 will be the search for onshore gas and we're going to import technologies and services to extract it. We're already working with other companies on that," Foster said.
She said the new strategic plan will bring about "a big shakeup in (the company's) research and development portfolio."
Shale gas is the most commonly known unconventional gas and is produced by using hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking."
Fracking is controversial and involves pumping a pressurized fluid - usually composed of water, sand and chemicals - into the shale formation to create a fracture in the rock layer and release trapped petroleum or natural gas.
Foster acknowledged that Petrobras will face significant challenges in developing non-conventional gas but said the company has already overcome bigger ones.
Among them, she cited methods developed to tap the pre-salt region, a recently discovered frontier so-named because its hydrocarbon reserves are located under water, rocks and a shifting layer of salt at depths of up to 7,000 meters (22,950 feet) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
In March, Petrobras produced an average of 63.6 million cubic meters (2.2 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per day at its fields in Brazil and an additional 15.6 million cubic meters abroad.
That volume is insufficient to meet domestic demand and the country must rely in part, though this dependence has steadily declined, on imported gas from Bolivia (30 million cubic meters per day).
The National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency, Brazil's oil and gas regulator, estimates the country has sufficient onshore natural gas reserves to boost supplies by 360 percent over the next decade.
