I had my reservations about picking up this solar battery charger, boy am I glad that I purchased this little jewel. I charged 2 dead AA 2000 mAh batteries in about 4 hours. This is in July with ample sunlight. I also charged a dead 9 v 120 mAh battery in 3 hours. The only downside is that it can only charge 2 AA,AAA, batteries at a time and 1 9 volt and you cannot combine 9 volt with the AA,AAA. I have not tested on C or D cells but I will as soon as the ones that I have in my devices go dead.

I purchased this to have a method of charge my AA & AAA NIMH, & NICD batteries for times when I do not have power available. So far I had to exchange this twice. First exchange was due to the fact that he product stopped working mid charging of 2x AA NIMH batteries. Checked with multimeter for voltages, and it was an extremely sunny day nothing. I went to back to the store with the reciept to exchange. The second unit, I checked the product before leaving, the product was cracked. The third time, I checked the product. I noticed that this one has a different solar panel. I got it home and checked voltages for the battery. Unlike the first charger this one appears to be able to give 10v-10.9v on the lead on the 9v charger (previous ones was only 3v). Each time I went to exchange the cashiers at harbor freight was very helpful, and understanding. As side notes it looks like there is more then one version of this charger with different panels(same item) on the sales floor in my location the first two had one thin white line in the solar cell. The current charger I have has 4x Thin white lines in the solar panel (seems to be able to pick up light better too). I will play with this more, and might by another one.

Great Charger

About Me Professional
I bought this charger after reading the Mixed Reviews. I opened it up the next day and started charging. It's fall here in central California so I have a mirror I rest the charger on for "double solar" Effect. The thing recharges all of my battery's so great. You have to keep an eye on it so you can pull the battery's out when their done. But it won't really damage them if you pull them out in the evening when the green light is onSuper Recommend this Charger. It does what it Should. Be patient it is a couple of Days for big D cell batteries to charge but they DO! : > )

nice charger
By a solar guy
from Visalia, CA
pretty nice solar charger. charges aaa, aa, c, d and 9v batteries. charges faster then most solar chargers (will charge a 9v batt in about 1 hour on a sunny day). also charges large capacity aa batteries in a day or so. i really like it. if anyone is having issues with not charging might be because they are putting the batteries wrong. remember if all else fails read the directions lol.
it works

It does what it is suppose to do. Seems to excellently constructed. I am a happy camper. And so much cheaper than having to buy new batteries every 3 days.

nice product
By solar guy
I use this to charge AA batteries. This product is made much better then HF's previous aa solar charger, and charges much faster. Though it might not be water tight, the solar panel is sealed to prevent damage to the panel from water. good product.

The goal of our research is to understand typical and atypical development in terms of underlying biological mechanisms. To this end, we study visual, cognitive and sleep pattern development in 1) typical infants, 2) deaf infants (including those that have received cochlear implants), 3) "high-risk" infants (including those born prematurely, and/or at risk for developing Autism, and 4) children/adolescents with Autism. Our developmental studies employ several different types of measures: perceptual methods, event-related potentials (ERPs), actigraphy, hormonal assays, and behavioral assessments.
In addition to the developmental work, our laboratory is now involved in several lines of social psychology, studying: 1) The relationship between knowledge about orgasms, sexual pleasure and shame, 2) The effects of hugging on establishing intimacy, 3) The effects of exercise and positive affirmations on mental well-being, and 4) Evolutionary accounts of bragging.
Preterm Infants. We study development of preterm infants, with the notion that they may have enhanced vision by virtue of being born early, and therefore having more visual experience. We find that they do exhibit enhanced visual processing for stimuli that are mediated by the Parvocellular visual pathway, suggesting this pathway may be quite responsive to effects of early visual experience.
Select Publications:
Infants at Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). To elucidate the developmental origins of ASD, we conduct visual perceptual, ERP and behavioral studies in infants who are "High-Risk" for ASD (because they have an older sibling diagnosed with ASD). Studying these High-Risk infants is valuable not only because a certain percentage of them (~19%) can be expected to develop ASD (providing us with important information about development in the first few months of the disorder), but because, even High-Risk infants who do not go on to develop ASD are expected to exhibit atypicalities due to carrying some of the genes for ASD. Understanding these atypicalities can help establish links between genes and behavior. To date, we have found several visual sensory and behavioral atypicalities in High-Risk infants.
We have also begun genetic studies in this cohort, as well as studies of gastrointestinal (GI) functioning. We are soon to publish a finding showing that High-Risk infants who are off of breast milk have a significantly higher chance of developing a GI problem, suggesting that breast milk is protective in this cohort.
Select Publications:
Visual Plasticity from Altered Early Sensory Experience: Deaf Studies. These perceptual studies are aimed at understanding the ways in which visual perception is altered through specific sensory experience. In particular, we study visual processing in deaf individuals, who experience altered sensory input (i.e., auditory deprivation) and have acquired a visual language (i.e., American Sign Language). More recently, we have investigated the neural basis of these perceptual differences between hearing and deaf subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The goal of this research is to determine what aspects of visual processing may be enhanced in the deaf, and to understand these perceptual changes within an ecological context.

What is the ex-dividend date and what does it mean? Thanks.
It is a great site for learning definitions of investment terms.
Ok, it's my turn at public service. The "ex" in ex-dividend means "without." If you buy the stock on that date, it means you don't get the upcoming dividend (the reason is because you won't become a record holder by the time of the record date). Conversely, if you own the stock and sell it on the ex-dividend date, you will get the dividend because you will still be the record owner on the record date.The opening trading price of a stock on its ex-dividend date is adjusted downward by the amount of the dividend (because the dividend is being paid to the people who owned it on the previous day). The stock price can still go up or down from this opening level depending on the usual factors of supply and demand, overall market movement etc.
Thank you, I'm still a newby but loving the excitement! A guy I met in Playa Del Carmen Mexico two weeks ago recommended this stock to me, thanks Ron, if you're reading this.Jim

I Wanna Link Your Brains Out!
For web folks, our drive to get links is no less primal than the human urge to… um, procreate. Unfortunately, many of us go about link building like awkward teenagers. Which of these profiles fit your link building approach?
The Quagmire
You will link to anything that moves, regardless of how unattractive or dangerous it might be. You're definitely after quantity, not quality. In fact, you won't think twice about using underhanded or even illegal means to sneak your links onto another site. You don't waste time with conversation or work at relationships, you just deliver the cheesy pickup line and move on.
You also regularly hit on sites that you have no chance with, like Wikipedia. Giggity giggity goo!
(Quagmire is the sex-crazy neighbor on Family Guy.)
The Master of Your Domain
You don't waste time chasing down links from other websites. It's so much work, and you never seem to get anywhere, so why bother? You build multiple sites of your own and give yourself all the links you can stand.
Sure, these links aren't as satisfying as a good link from a quality site, but your links are ready whenever you are. Just be careful you don't go blind.
(In the Seinfeld episode "The Contest" the main characters bet on who could refrain from "self gratification;" being Master of Your Domain meant you were still in the game.)
The Niagara Falls
You boast about all the links you get, even though they consist of comment spam you place in various blogs and forums. You have alot of them to boast about, but you and I both know that those links aren't real to the search engines and the only traffic you'll ever get from them is pity traffic.
You don't even know how to get links, do you?
(Anthony Michael Hall's character in The Breakfast Club claimed he had sex with a girl from Niagara Falls when, in fact, he was really a virgin.)
The Charlie Sheen
You could actually get real honest-to-goodness links if you tried to, but for some reason you only go after paid links. Pay per click ads or paid listings, you somehow find these links to be so attractive that you must have them. Repeatedly.
You do know that the authorities (i.e., Google) say you shouldn't do this, right?
Do you also know that once you stop paying you won't have them anymore? Yeah, and somehow that makes them that much more exciting.
Yeah… paid links…
(Charlie Sheen was named as a brothel "frequent flyer" at Heidi Fleiss' trial.)
So are you one of these link chasers? What kind of link builder are you?
One Response to "I Wanna Link Your Brains Out!"
I am none of the above. I guess I do things the hard way. I actually read the blogs that I link to and I try to make an intelligent comment that adds to the site. This is not always accomplished as I am not always the best of authority on the topics but my heart is there. Thanks for the post.

It just made me think that the homeowner was stupid.

I almost dressed up as an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Broker for Halloween, but had trouble printing my photoshopped Countrywide ID badge so I just decided to be something else.
Happy Halloween to you guys too! You're the best!
Btw, way to be a downer with the whole coins thing. Everyone knows Canadians don't celebrate halloween anyway.
I went out as a Comcast guy but I got tired of getting punched in the face, yelled at and getting NO candy.
I'm never doing that again! :P
Imagine giving some kid White Rabbit candy. Oh snap!
Please stop scaring the crap out of people who may have eaten gold coin chocolates. It appears that the recall is for a SPECIFIC LOT — not all of them:
OTTAWA, October 8, 2008 – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume, distribute, or sell the Sherwood Brands Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate Coins described below. This product is being recalled due to positive test results for melamine conducted by the CFIA.
The affected product, Sherwood Brands Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate Coins, is sold in 840g containers containing 240 pieces per container bearing UPC 0 36077 11240 7 and lot code 1928S1.
Dress as a house with a for sale sign on it. Now, there's a scary costume. But, apparently that costume has already been thought of. Halloween Costume Ideas Will you give me candy if I dress up as any of these things? :-(

Advanced glycation endproducts, also known as AGEs, are caused by the body's major fuel source, namely glucose. This simple sugar is essential for energy, yet it also can bind strongly to proteins (the body's fundamental building blocks) and form abnormal structures (AGEs) that progressively damage tissue elasticity. The glucose itself isn't damaging, it's what happens when glucose transforms into AGEs that's the problem. Refined sugar from our diets is a major source of AGEs, and more research is revealing a diet high in sugar causes the body to age faster (Source: Cosmetics & Toiletries, June 2011, pages 438–444).
Once AGEs are generated, they begin a process that prevents many systems from behaving normally by literally causing tissue to cross-link and become hardened (Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, March 14, 2000, pages 2809–2813). In skin this damage occurs to collagen and elastin, the chief ingredients responsible for skin's firmness and ability to bounce back when stretched. AGEs also cause inflammation within the body, which is believed to play a widespread role in how we age and become more prone to disease.
The theory is that by breaking these AGE bonds you can undo or stop the damage they cause. There are studies showing aminoguanidine and carnosine to be AGE inhibitors that can prevent glucose cross-linking of proteins and the loss of elasticity associated with aging and diabetes, but many other substances are potential candidates as AGE inhibitors as well.
One study examined over 92 substances and 29 of them showed some degree of inhibitory activity, with 9 compounds proving to be 30 to 40 times stronger than aminoguanidine (Source: Molecular Cell Biology Research Communications, June 2000, pages 360–366). Carnosine, in particular, is considered a very good inhibitor of AGEs.
AGEs and free-radical damage may be inextricably linked (Sources: European Journal of Neuroscience, December 2001, page 1,961; and Neuroscience Letters, October 2001, pages 29–32), but none of this has been shown to have relevance when it comes to topical application of these substances when they are included in cosmetics.
It is possible in the future that skin-care products will be formulated with ingredients proven to effect the formation of AGEs when applied topically. For now, eating a low sugar diet rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients is the best approach.

Critics Asking Clinton To Stop Advancing Missile Plan
By Elaine Sciolino
WASHINGTON, July 6 -- A leading critic of national missile defense, Theodore A. Postol, said in a letter to President Clinton today that Mr. Clinton's advisers had made misleading statements about the proposed shield and urged creating an independent commission of top scientists to evaluate the plan.
Three major science groups also opposed the plan. The American Physical Society, with 42,000 physicists; the Federation of American Scientists; and the Union of Concerned Scientists jointly announced that they urged Mr. Clinton not to deploy a missile defense system, regardless of how its ground-based interceptor performs in a test on Friday night.
An antinuclear organization, Greenpeace, announced that it was sending a Dutch icebreaker, the Arctic Sunrise, to a "hazard zone" designated by the Air Force off the launching site at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., to try to stop the test.
"Mr. President, you have the finger on the Star Wars button," Greenpeace wrote in a letter to Mr. Clinton. "We urge you take it off and make the world a safer place."
To the Pentagon, the attacks might look like the revenge of the scientists. Fifty Nobel laureates have said any movement to deploy a missile defense system would be "premature, wasteful and dangerous."
The most relentless and detailed criticism has been from Dr. Postol, a professor of science and national security studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He contended in his letter Clinton that Pentagon officials have in recent weeks "made numerous technologically illiterate and highly misleading statements" about the missile proposal.
Dr. Postol said a statement by the under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, Jacques Gansler, at a news conference on June 20 that the system's X-band radar could discriminate between a real target and a decoy was based on faulty science.
Dr. Postol added that the contention at that news conference by Lt. Gen. Ronald T. Kadish of the Air Force, director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization at the Pentagon, that the decoy to be used on Friday was "representative" of the expected decoy threat was also false.
In statements today, the Pentagon defended the integrity of its program without addressing Dr. Postol's specific statements.
"Dr. Postol has raised issues that the independent review team and the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization are addressing," a spokesman for the Pentagon, Kenneth H. Bacon, said in a statement. "Developing a national missile defense system poses difficult technical challenges."
Defense Secretary William S. Cohen "is confident that his team is following a systematic and reasonable course to solve these problems," Mr. Bacon added.
A spokesman for the National Security Council, P. J. Crowley, said, "We've asked the Pentagon for an analysis of the questions he raises, and the Pentagon is in the process of getting back to us."
The Pentagon said that weather conditions appeared good and that the test on Friday was on schedule.

Hopes Rising for Selenium
By JANE E. BRODY
Published: February 19, 1997
SELENIUM, a mineral long feared for its toxicity, is on the road to becoming a Cinderella nutrient. As the last of 40 nutrients to be proved essential to human health, selenium is now the subject of both human and animal studies that suggest it can help prevent the two leading killers in the Western world: heart disease and cancer. It may also lift the human spirit.
In the latest published study, selenium supplements taken for 10 years failed in their primary mission, to protect against the development of skin cancers, but they were incidentally found to reduce other cancers by a third and to cut overall cancer deaths in half. This effect of a daily 200-microgram supplement was so dramatic that the researchers are convinced that it is real, not just a statistical fluke, even though the study was designed to examine a different question.
Earlier studies had linked low dietary intakes of selenium to an elevated risk of heart attacks, strokes and other diseases related to high blood pressure. People with low levels of selenium in their blood were shown to be three times as likely to die of a heart attack as those with higher selenium levels, a finding that may be related to selenium's apparent ability to raise blood levels of HDL, the ''good'' cholesterol, which helps protect against heart disease.
Improvements in well-being have also been noted in selenium studies. In a 15-week study by Dr. James G. Penland, a psychologist at the Grand Forks, N.D., Human Nutrition Research Center of the Agricultural Research Service, 15 men fed a selenium-rich diet reported a significant improvement in mood, feeling more clearheaded and elated at the end of the study than at the start. A comparable group of men given a selenium-poor diet reported feeling worse. The test diet contained 240 micrograms of selenium daily, more than triple the currently recommended amount.
But researchers, though optimistic, remain very cautious about advising Americans to start gulping down selenium tablets. They point out that in industrialized countries, where foods come from many areas, it is possible to consume amounts of selenium that appear to be protective as part of a wholesome diet. And selenium in foods appears to be used better by the body than the form found in most supplements. While the promise of benefit from a daily supplement is strong, it has not been proved, and the possibility of toxicity for those who overdo it is serious indeed.
Early in this century, thousands of cattle, horses and sheep in Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska and South Dakota were felled by two seemingly unrelated conditions called ''alkali disease'' and ''blind staggers.
The cause in both cases was traced to too much selenium; the animals had eaten grasses and grains loaded with the mineral, which is unevenly deposited in the earth's crust. There are high levels in the soils of most states west of the Mississippi and low levels in the Northeast and Northwest and in some Southeast and Great Lakes states. The same uneven pattern persists worldwide.
Dr. Gerald F. Combs Jr., a professor of nutrition at Cornell University, said that in more than a dozen mountainous provinces in China where the soil is very low in selenium, many children developed a potentially fatal form of heart disease called Keshan disease or a growth-disrupting joint disorder called Kaschin-Beck disease.
But selenium's importance in the diet was not recognized until 1957, when researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that selenium could prevent liver damage in laboratory animals who were deficient in vitamin E. Subsequent studies found that small amounts of selenium could even cure some serious muscle and blood diseases in farm animals deficient in both vitamin E and selenium. Finally, in 1969, studies in rats found that otherwise well-nourished animals, when deprived of selenium, suffered hair loss, cataracts and growth and reproductive problems.
Selenium at last joined the list of nutrients considered essential to animal health, leading ultimately to its inclusion as one of the nutrient minerals needed in the human diet in trace amounts. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences considers a daily intake of between 50 micrograms and 200 micrograms to be safe and adequate, and it has established recommended dietary amounts of 55 micrograms daily for adult women and 70 micrograms for adult men. For infants and children up to age 14, recommended daily dietary amounts range from 10 to 45 micrograms daily.
Still, justifiable fears of toxicity have persisted. In 1984, at least 11 people were poisoned by selenium supplements that were accidentally manufactured to contain 125 times as much selenium as the Food and Nutrition Board deems to be safe and effective. Those affected suffered loss of hair and fingernails, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue. Similar toxic effects have been seen in people who took only 25 times the recommended amount of selenium.
Most Americans seem to consume enough selenium in their food to satisfy the current recommendation. Surveys have indicated that the average American consumes about 100 micrograms of selenium daily, although in one study in Maryland, 17 percent of adults took in less than 50 micrograms. Selenium tends to be richest in foods high in protein. Fish, for example, is an excellent source. However, the main sources of selenium in the American diet are meats, poultry, fish, cereals and other grains. Among vegetables, mushrooms and asparagus are good sources. Brazil nuts, especially those sold with their shells on, are loaded with selenium; two nuts a day can more than meet the daily need. Some experts fear that vegetarians who refrain from eating fish as well as meat and poultry may have difficulty consuming enough selenium.

Dear Friend,
The American Friends Service Committee experienced another landmark year in 2003. The philosophy we've lived by became the engine for a nationwide movement: Peace is precious—war is never acceptable. Across the United States and around the world, concerned people joined us in expressing concern and outrage at our government's headlong rush to violence.
But despite our strong voice of reason—our pleas for respect, compassion, and understanding—the United States went to war in Iraq. And the truth we foresaw has come to pass: Democracy cannot be formed at the end of a gun. Terrorism can never be defeated through intimidation and arrogance.
Since 1917, AFSC has been building partnerships, establishing friendships, earning trust and respect. That history, based on fairness and justice, put us at the forefront of the national peace campaign. We've been eager to reach out to new participants in our activities and provide inspiration and encouragement for others to take action.
Certainly the war in Iraq received the majority of the media headlines, and we focused as much of our time and resources on it as we were able—but we continued to work in more than 20 other countries and in communities across the U.S. There are still families in West Virginia who are about to lose public assistance. There are war victims in Colombia, Afghanistan and Bosnia trying to move forward with their lives. There are military recruiters targeting lowerincome high school kids…
…so the work of the American Friends Service Committee must look beyond Iraq. We have more work to do—and thanks to the support of our friends and allies, we are up to the task.
Our gratitude goes to our donor partners and our appreciation to the diverse communities who allow us to join them in witness to the best that humankind offers. I hope you will find the following Annual Report informative, stimulating, and satisfying.
With hopes for peace,
Mary Ellen McNish

Kaffir Boy
by Mark Mathabane
Kaffir Boy Race Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
…more than 90 percent of white South Africans go through a lifetime without seeing firsthand the inhuman conditions under which blacks have to survive.
Yet the white man of South Africa claims to the rest of the world that he knows what is good for black people and what it takes for a black child to grow up to adulthood. He vaunts aloud that "his blacks" in South Africa are well fed and materially better off under the chains of apartheid than their liberated brothers and sisters in the rest of Africa. But, in truth, these claims and boasts are hollow.
The white man of South Africa certainly does not know me. He certainly does not know the conditions under which I was born and had to live for eighteen years. (1.2-4).
Mark begins Kaffir Boy by commenting on how important race was in South Africa. Society was constructed around the rigid concept of race, and the practice of keeping races separate. Thus, white society claimed its blacks were "happy," and had no idea of the reality of black life under apartheid.
Quote #2
"What's a pass, Mama?" I knew vaguely what a pass was, but not its reality.
"It's an important book that we black people must have in order always, and carry with us at all times."…There was something about it which made me fearful, helpless. But I could not figure out what about it made me feel that way. It seemed a mere book. Yet it was, I was to later find out, the black man's passport to existence. (6.17-18)
Without the pass, a black man or woman couldn't find a job, legally live anywhere in the black designated urban areas, or move from one place to another without fear of arrest.
Quote #3
Continuing, the old woman, in a hoary voice, said, "I worked for a madam a long time ago, when my papers were still in order, who had three refrigerators all stacked with food. And no children. And she would always throw away packages of meat because they were a day old. When I asked her to give them to me, she would reply: 'I buy you meat, girlie, is that not enough?' And the meat she was talking about was dog meat."
"They eat well, them white people," said an old man nearby. "Yes sir, they eat well."
"They have everything," a jet-black woman said in a shrill voice, "and we have nothing." (7.26-28).
There is a strong contrast between the lives that whites lead and the lives that blacks lead. This is a contrast of which blacks are fully aware, given their proximity to white lives through their jobs as servants and gardeners. The fact that blacks are aware of the difference is also a contrast to whites, who don't know how blacks live.

The Digital Trail
By identity on Dec 10, 2008
A few weeks ago, Bruce Schneier posted an interesting article explaining how Barack Obama will need to give up his Blackberry to minimize his personal "electronic trail" that could prove troublesome or worse:
Technorati Tags: Blackberry, Obama
"When he becomes president, Barack Obama will have to give up his BlackBerry. Aides are concerned that his unofficial conversations would become part of the presidential record, subject to subpoena and eventually made public as part of the country's historical record."Interestingly enough, when I re-visited that article this afternoon, the sidebar list of Most Popular posts listed "Governor is Arrested on Graft Charges" as the second most popular post today. I wonder what Governor Blagojevich thinks about the damning electronic trail he left behind?

Pilot's arrest escalates Oahu aerial ads battle
HONOLULU — A pilot has been arrested for flying an advertising banner over Oahu, escalating a dispute between the city fighting against the practice and a company that insists it has legal authority to do so.
Advertising company Aerial Banner North maintains that laws governing the skies are the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration. But Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell's administration says the company is violating the city's ordinance against aerial advertising.
A letter from the FAA supports the city's position, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. The company does have a waiver allowing it to fly banners in various states including Hawaii, but the waiver doesn't pre-empt local ordinances, said the letter to Caldwell from FAA Acting Chief Counsel Patricia McNall.
Waianae resident Matthew Radeck, 55, was arrested Monday after flying a banner saying "Advertising Isn't Just for Politicians" over parts of the island. He was charged with violating the city's aerial advertising prohibition. He was cited by police earlier this month for the same offense when he flew a different banner.
Radeck was released after posting $100 bail, pending an Aug. 26 court date. He's scheduled to appear in Honolulu District Court on Aug. 5 for the earlier offense.
Aerial Banners North attorney Michael McAllister said the company will pay to defend Radeck, an independent contractor hired by the company.
"The law allows for citation or arrest," said Honolulu police spokeswoman Michelle Yu when asked why the pilot was arrested instead of issued a citation. "In this instance, the same individual had been cited for the same infraction earlier."
The company received a violation last week for an aerial banner that read, "Can't We All Just Get Along?" McAllister said.
Monday's banner alluded to hypocrisy of allowing politicians to post unsightly street-level signs while campaigning, McAllister said.
The Outdoor Circle has vowed to take the company to court if necessary. The environmental organization fought successfully to keep Hawaii free from billboards.

WILLIAMSTOWN - After six years as manager of the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport, Terry Moore is looking to move forward in his life.
"It's about that time," Moore said. "I've been here a while and it is time for a change."
Moore, 61, was hired in autumn 2006 after former airport manager Carolyn Strock announced her retirement and took over the position on Jan. 1, 2007.
"It's just time for me to do something else," Moore said. "I will be 62 in December and having been in the military, I'm used to changing jobs every three years, well, this job has been twice that."
Moore is a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps and a helicopter pilot who lives in North Hills.
"I'm not sure exactly what I will do when the retirement happens, but there is time to figure it out," he said. "I'm not leaving tomorrow."
While Moore said he hopes to leave in the next couple of years, he gave the Wood County Airport Authority a target date of April 1, 2013.
"If that isn't met, that is fine; I am willing to stay a couple of years," Moore said.
Moore said he wants to give the airport authority enough time to put together a list of qualifications and other requirements for his replacement.
"I like the airport and want to see it succeed," he said.
"Mine is not an imminent departure but I think the board needs to formulate what they are looking for and what is needed."
Bill Richardson, president of the Wood County Airport Authority, said it may be difficult to find someone to fill the position.
"The question is to keep the search local or look out side of the area," Richardson said. "We're going to have to talk about that."
No matter what is going on with the airport's tight finances and changes that have occurred since Moore became manager six years ago, Moore said that is not a deciding factor in his retirement.
"I think it will be good for the airport to have a fresh perspective and new blood," Moore said.
When the board will begin its search for a new director hasn't been determined.

Scott Nichol and Jamal Mayers -- two fourth-line veterans who added energy and a physical style of play to the lineup -- won't be back with the Sharks next season.
Both of their contracts expire June 30 and general manager Doug Wilson disclosed Monday that neither fit in the team's future plans as San Jose begins its annual offseason of change, tweaking a talented roster in search of the right mix to finally secure a berth in the Stanley Cup finals.
In addition, Wilson revealed that assistant coach Trent Yawney, whose responsibilities included the team's defensemen and penalty kill, won't be returning for a fourth season. Yawney said he advised the Sharks he wanted to seek a head coaching job in the AHL in order to reach his ultimate goal of a second chance as an NHL head coach.
The 5-foot-8, 170-pound Nichol was an immediate fan favorite, both for his role as an agitator and his success in the faceoff circle during two seasons with the Sharks.
Speaking from his home outside Rochester, N.Y., Nichol said he was disappointed that he wouldn't be coming back to the Sharks, but appreciated the early notice and understood Wilson's intent to use a younger player in his role.
"I've got nothing to hang my head about. I gave it all I had," said Nichol, 36, who was limited by injuries and a suspension to 56 games last season and scored seven points. "Sometimes it's not enough, and it's time to move on."
Wilson identified Andrew Desjardins, who replaced the injured Nichol in three games in the third round of the playoffs, as his potential successor when training camp opens in September.
Mayers, 36, played one season with the Sharks, scoring three goals and 11 assists in 78 games. Signed as a free agent for his toughness, he had a team-high 124 penalty minutes that included 12 majors for fighting.
"Very professional in the way he carried himself," Wilson said of Mayers. "I think we've got some young players internally who are ready for that role and if they are, great. If not, then we will look for other players in that market."
A third veteran, defenseman Niclas Wallin, also won't be back next season after deciding to play in Sweden.
The Sharks have four other unrestricted free agents -- Ian White, Kent Huskins, Kyle Wellwood and Ben Eager -- whose futures with the team are still up in the air. Wilson indicated, however, it was unlikely that White would be returning.
Wilson did say that talks are continuing with restricted free agent Devin Setoguchi and sounded as if the team was looking to bring the right wing back for a fifth season.
"We have to get a deal that makes sense for us, for him and fits into our team-building concept," Wilson said. "I think we're making some progress there."
Wilson meets annually with the media in the week before Friday's NHL entry draft to both assess past performance and look forward.
Monday, he repeated his view that San Jose's slow start to the regular season ultimately hurt the team's chances in the playoffs because of the energy required to put together a strong enough finish to earn the Western Conference's No. 2 seed.
But Wilson also added that he faulted himself for not shaking up the roster earlier than he did by bringing in Wellwood and Eager in mid-January, when San Jose was the Western Conference's 12th place team.
"If there's one thing I wish I could do all over again, it's not wait until Jan. 17 to make the moves I made," Wilson said. "I think our group was waiting for that. Sometimes you have to do something to spark a group."

See the video – America may be nuked this summer. Recently Joel Skousen joined John B Marsh on ' Coast to Coast Radio, ' to discuss the coming nuclear attack on America. Joel Skousen gets it right, some times. A war with Iran may not trigger World War 3, but it may arrive before the year 2020. America is constantly giving technology to China and Russia as a part of trade and aid agreements. Joel Skousen believes nothing is wrong with people who are a part of FreeMasonry.

- 100% Natural
Made with baking soda and cornstarch to absorb odor and wetness. Gentle floral scent. Talc and aluminum free.
We've combined the natural deodorizing properties of baking soda with the absorbent qualities of cornstarch and arrowroot. The result is a soft, delicately-scented natural powder with tough odor fighting ability.
Other Ingredients
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), zea mays (cornstarch) maranta arundinacea (arrowroot), essential oils
For the first time since I started wearing natural deodorant I don't stink!! My pits are fresh and dry and that NEVER happens! This is the BEST natural deodorant I have ever tried and I have tried at least 10 different brands!
works better at controlling ordor than the current Su Kin deordorant i am using. powder is a bit rough, but it's okay for me. smells like jasmine - initially a little put off by the smell, but after a while, is quite pleasant once your nose gets used to it. not yet the greatest at controlling ordor though. a slight smell still. but decent ordor control if not active work out.

Good product and bought this for my daughter. Liked and does it job.
4 stars cos i only use it for one day
Posted by 5191091881369643853 on Oct 31, 2015
surprise, this is really good :) my first day using it and usually by end of day i will start to smell a bit (using crystal salt) but this powder is really good. There is no smell at all. Hot humid in Asia and this powder does last. It feels really good to use powder instead of deo stick which tends to get sticky as we perspire ... but this powder works wonder. Althou powder were in small clusters, i broke it up and spread the powder on. Easy application. No fuse.

Very good
Simple and Works Well
Posted by 5231814768665160895 on Aug 02, 2015
I wanted to get away from antiperspirants that contain aluminum chlorohydrate. I have tried stick deodorants that were only mediocre, and did nothing about wetness. I was skeptical that a deodorant powder would keep me dry and odor-free, but was surprised at how well this product works. Plus, it smells great without being overbearing.
Prevents bad body odour
Posted by Reviewer3103570 on Jun 07, 2015
I tend to sweat a lot when I get excited and my under arm emits a bad odour when that happens. I've tried many types of natural deodorant and finally found this that works! It also doesn't irritate if I put it after shaving my underarm, not like other liquid deodorants. I apply it in the morning and it lasts till night. No more bad odour... Thanks to Honeybee, I no longer need to use Aluminium based deodorant which is bad for health.

Kevin Spacey Says Bankers Are People Too
In the new film "Margin Call," to be released on Oct. 21, Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey plays Sam Rogers, the deeply conflicted trading floor manager at a Wall Street investment firm. The movie, which, despite having a low budget of $3.4 million boasts an all-star ensemble cast including Mr. Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci and Zachary Quinto, zeroes in on a group of executives grappling with the moral price of the actions required to save the firm from collapse: notably, selling off billions in mortgage-backed securities in a single day.
Rogers may be gruff and moody, but unlike some of the business types that Mr. Spacey has played in previous films—like John Williamson in "Glengarry Glen Ross" for example—he's got a heart. Sure, he's probably part of the much-maligned 1%, but Rogers nevertheless needs his job. "He probably doesn't have as much money as he used to, if you break it down: He's divorced from his wife. She got the house. He's living somewhere else," said Mr. Spacey from Ibiza earlier this month, where he was promoting the film. (His character also has a dog with cancer: "I'm paying almost a thousand bucks a day to keep her alive," Rogers reveals in an opening sequence.)
When Mr. Spacey read the script for "Margin Call" last year, he said he saw an opportunity to "personalize and humanize" the people who were being vilified for destroying the global economy. He and the other actors involved in the film liked first-time director J.C. Chandor's screenplay so much that they agreed to take salaries that were "peanuts" compared to what they normally receive, says co-producer Neal Dodson, who is a partner with Mr. Quinto at Before the Door Pictures.
Below, an edited transcript of an interview with Mr. Spacey.
The Wall Street Journal: This film is by a first time director and screenwriter, J.C. Chandor, and it's a pretty low budget movie compared to what you usually do. When you think back to that time when you read the script, what exactly was it that made you think, "Yes, this is it. I am going to take a chance on this."
Kevin Spacey: The truth is I have been doing that my whole life…. If you go back and look at my early work, much of it was with first-time directors like Sam Mendes who had a great theatrical career and who I knew was an incredible visual stylist. I never ever judge somebody on the number of their credits. What I judge them on is their intelligence, their grasp of the material. And the conversations that J.C. and I had were wonderful.
How did the script get to you in the first place?
I had gotten to know Zachary [Quinto, an actor and co-producer of the film], because he had come to London see "Inherit the Wind" and we became friends. Months later he said he was going to produce his first movie and knowing what that's like I wanted to be as supportive as I could. Reading the script it just genuinely felt to me that it was such a personal story and it was it was done in such a way that it was like a ticking clock… What I liked about the film is that every time you think you've met the top person, the hierarchy gets bigger and then you meet another person. And then, it's like "Oh no that's the guy." Then "No, that's the guy." It shows you that so many people in the banking world are following orders and weren't these big CEOs making gallons of money but are people who have tried to do an honest job. Everyone got thrown in this you're-all-shit-bags barrel.
When did you sign on?
It was early to mid spring…I was the first actor in after Zachary. And literally as we were getting closer and closer to shooting more and more actors came on board. Jeremy [Irons] was the last. I had been shooting and then I had to fly back to London for a big benefit we did with Paul McCartney for the Old Vic [Theatre, in London, where he serves as artistic director]. And Jeremy and Sinead [Cusack, his wife] came that night. He had been offered the role that morning and I pinned him up against the wall and said "you've got to do it." They had to get him a visa in like three days. I think there's a credit at the end of the movie that says "Thanks to the Jeremy Irons Miracle Visa Team."
Humanizing bankers, some might argue, is an unusual pursuit at this moment in time, when people are occupying Wall Street. Do you think that this movie might change people's opinions about Wall Street types?
I am sure speaking for the bankers it would be great if people took a second look. I think that sometimes we get caught up in wanted to blame and point fingers and wanting to understand. Did people fulfill their responsibilities? And are certain people crooks? Without question it's very easy to come up with simple answers to very complicated situations…and it gives people some level of comfort to say "that's a f—ing bastard." But at the end of the day we're all human beings.
You went to Citigroup and talked to some executives, right? What sorts of things did you talk about to help you get into the mindset of someone like Sam Rogers?
I met a lot of guys who work on the floor and were really stunned by the things being said about bankers in general. Yes [I went to Citigroup]. But I also know a lot of bankers, and I spent time doing one-on-one research with bankers who do what my character did.
Anybody you could name?
I like to keep my sources to myself.
What kind of stories did you ask people to tell you to get your head around this Sam Rogers character?
Well, I wanted to understand how does someone have that many people under them? Who are their right hand- and left hand men and women? What kind of salary are you making? I kept thinking, "What would it feel like if you knew something nobody else knew?" You had to go to your local bar with your friends, go to a wedding with your wife…and you know something is about to happen in the world financially that's going to change everybody's life. How do you live with that?
What did they say?
They said it was terrible. What I tried to do, at the very beginning of the film when Sam [Rogers] has to come out and give this kind of pep rally, this kind of well "You're all here because you're better than those guys" speech. He had to be matter of fact and positive even though there's just been a bloodbath. I found that to be such an interesting piece of writing.
I think unlike some of the other actors, you have experience playing business types…the pace of the dialogue reminded me of David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross." Did you see any similarities to this script and Mamet?
I didn't see any similarities in the role I played. But I did feel at some point—once I decided on the look I wanted to have, and I was standing there before we started shooting—I thought, "Wow, actually this is the kind of part that Jack Lemmon would have played in his 60s." And it's not the [John] Williamson role who was a real a–hole and didn't give a s— about the guys who worked under him and thought everyone was replaceable. I felt [Sam Rogers] was like an everyman. I felt like I was not in the same circumstances but I just remembered Jack so fondly in that film and thought he influenced me in this one.
Simon Baker said that he tried on the suit the costume department provided, but felt that his character would wear a bespoke suit—so he brought in one of his own. Was there anything you did, sartorially, to make your character more convincing?
Well I knew I decided on suspenders at the costume fitting. I liked it was the kind of thing you see an older guy do. My wig guy in London made this fantastic piece that just aged me in the right way. We weren't that far from shooting when I said I was going to do this film…. They get immediately nervous and think, "Oh f—, he's going to put a horrible wig on his head." So there's a panic that starts with producers. I said "This guy's fantastic. He's made tons of pieces for me for the theater." Often I will take a picture of someone—it might be someone just sitting in a restaurant—and I will give Campbell [the wig stylist] that photo and say "Make me that." And he does. And he's brilliant. But until you get it on your head and it is coiffed people aren't so sure.
I know we're dealing with two very different types of movies here, but "Horrible Bosses," in which you starred this summer, presents a very different perspective on corporate America than "Margin Call" does. Could you talk about that?
"Horrible Bosses" I thought was a very funny film and I thought if the three guys [Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman] have chemistry then the movie's going to work. And if they don't then the movie won't work. ["Horrible Bosses"] was not the kind of movie where we are setting out to say anything about the world…to me it was another version of "Nine to Five." Having just come off of doing "Margin Call" playing a real person with real problems and dilemmas—they were just two entirely different experiences.

Starting in 2006, food manufacturers will be required to reveal how much trans fat is contained in their products. Now, a look at how to translate confusing food labels to find these hidden fats and other diet pitfalls.
Hidden fats are lurking in your kitchen. Do you know how to find them? Nutritionist Kristin Bartholomew says start with the food label.
"The food label is an excellent tool for determining many different things when it comes to trying to be healthy, whether it's for heart healthy reasons or for weight loss," says Kristin.
Kristin is teaching Pam to translate confusing labels, including how to spot trans fats.
"One of the things we can look for is what they have; partially hydrogenated soybean oil here. The higher it is on the list, the more amounts of trans fats are likely to be in the product."
Kristin also says watch out for serving sizes.
"Serving size is one-quarter of a second of spray, so how many people hold it for a quarter of a second?"
Also, beware of misleading claims. "Sugar-free" products are often high in fat, and foods can be labeled fat-free but still contain up to point five grams of fat per serving.
"When you look at the fat-free, many people think that, 'Oh, I can eat more of it,' and that's where we really find a problem, because then they're more likely to double and triple those serving sizes because they think, 'Heck, I can eat more!'"
"I think, as consumers, we just totally rely on what is on that label," says Pam Jakobsen a heart disease patient.
For Pam, relying on that label could put her life at risk. Eighteen years ago, at age 30, Pam had quintuple bypass heart surgery.
"Oh, it was a major, major shock. I didn't have a clue, didn't have a clue," she says.

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: October 22, 1998
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: The long-term viability of confined animal production feeding operations (CAFOs) is contingent upon efficient removal and effective treatment of the waste generated. Repeated application of animal wastes may lead to elevated nutrient concentrations in receiving soils that far exceed crop requirements. Buildup of phosphorus in Ozark Highland soils has led to concern over accelerated eutrophication of regional water bodies. The objective of this research project was to create a phosphorus balance sheet to estimate the land base necessary for CAFOs to limit phosphorus accumulation under the permanent pasture, beef grazing system typical of the region. Analyses of waste generation from poultry and swine operations and current land application strategies will be discussed. Estimates of the potential impact of phosphorus-reducing dietary strategies including phytase enzyme addition and low phytic acid feed-stuffs will be presented.

In a venomous broadside, Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's firebrand Left-wing leader, described President George W Bush as a "devil", "sick man" and an "alcoholic".
The comments, to the United Nations General Assembly, and later away from the podium, were dismissed by American Republicans and Democrats alike as the offensive outpourings of a publicity-hungry demagogue.
But Mr Chavez had his eye on a different audience - and indeed electorate. For Venezuela is making a strong bid to secure one of Latin America's seats on the UN Security Council.
That would give his hand-picked envoys the platform to act as champions of an emerging anti-American bloc and undermine efforts by the world body to secure consensus on crises such as Iran's nuclear programme.
The applause and laughter from many diplomats listening to Mr Chavez's General Assembly diatribe indicate that his global aspirations have a strong international constituency.
Bankrolled by his country's oil and gas wealth, the former army officer-turned-showman politician and globetrotter has been travelling the world as he makes his pitch to succeed Fidel Castro, the ailing Cuban dictator and his long-time mentor and friend, as the leading critic of the United States.
He has recently signed arms and energy deals in Moscow and China and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with tyrants such as Bashar Assad, the Syrian leader, with whom he has little in common bar a shared hatred of America. He has also been busy touring Asia and Africa as he drums up support for Venezuela's Security Council campaign.
In his Latin American backyard, he is cultivating his own anti-US axis of Left-wing populists such as Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia.
Mr Chavez's anti-American rhetoric will take on much greater influence if Venezuela earns a two-year term on the Security Council in a secret ballot of UN members next month. The US is backing a rival bid by Guatemala to take the place of Argentina in January, but UN diplomats believe Venezuela is the favourite.
As one of the 10 non-permanent states on the Security Council, Venezuela would not have veto powers, but it could stir up trouble, delay talks and, perhaps most alarmingly for the US and Britain, leak details of highly-sensitive negotiations when the Council meets in private.
"It would certainly make for a lot of fun and games if Venezuela is elected," said James Paul, the executive director of the Global Policy Forum, an independent group that monitors the UN.
"America and Britain are very concerned at the prospect. The US is quietly putting a big diplomatic push behind Guatemala, but this is a secret ballot and a lot of countries will regard this as a rare moment when they can safely express their unhappiness with American policy."
Mr Chavez has certainly shown himself adept in public relations, even donating 45 million gallons of subsidised heating oil to poor neighbourhoods in America's North East.
He is currently doing a deal with Ken Livingstone to exchange cheap oil for London's buses for advice on transport and the environment.
Meanwhile, his speech has already had one major achievement. Mr Chavez began his address by recommending that all Americans should read Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance, by academic Noam Chomsky.
The plug took the book, published in 2003, from 169,722 in the Amazon charts to number one in just two days.
