Discussion in 'Nutrients' started by Lucius Vorenus, Jan 9, 2013.
Can't seem to find a single review yet.
I know they are a sponsor of Heavy t's grow show. From what I hear its a great line. You might call the show on a Wednesday and ask those guys about it.
never heard of it
Really? Do a search for it. Every grower should check it out. I've learned a shit ton and have won $100's in gear
"Mills pays the bill$"
Heavy T's Grow Show Wed 7-10 pm
Hydroponic Happy Hour Thurs 7-8pm
Watch it LIVE at dfzradio.com
Mills is absolutely shit. My yield was down 25%, I immediately went back to using Canna.
Just look at their website, all the text is copied from other sites. I heard they are real
nasty characters who have fucked over a lot of people before.
"Mills please send me a cheque for the shit growth and yield you gave me."
Mills is the shit, really liked the A-B and Start-R... I ran the whole line good results. Great for people that don't know what their doing because it's super simple. I slowly started cutting out A when I started using the PK. Make sure to do straight water in between feeding and flush well. The nutrients stick a little. I also add silica and a sweetener.
You watch/listen to it or that's just what your search came up with?
Their nute schedule is interesting, will give it that much.
First time use really required attention to detail concerning EC and pH since the basic feeding schedule provided by Mills is for unidentified agricultural products, not MJ, at least not according to the numbers we ended up with in (2) 40 gallon Ebb and Flow reservoirs, Grotop Master substrate in 4 x 8 covered trays.
Mills general feeding schedule also uses a 3 week Veg 8 week flower standard (we're 3 from seed under T5 then 4/8 week schedule). Subsequently Mills came out with a new 3 option feeding schedule, again with a lack of plant specificity or EC directions, which just solidified our decision to monitor input and the effects 3 times a day. The 3 option schedule is just broke down into light, medium and heavy feeding. There is a slight
Although in the first run we included other nutrients and supplements, (B+, SuperT ), we found that because of Mills' use of micro and macro nutrients it's really a waste to include them and we discontinued for all times after the first batch. Also pay attention to your measurements to avoid negative effects due to the mismatched measurements involving the bonding agents in A and B, make sure measurement of A matches B's measurement or risk lockout/burn or worse.
40 gallons H2O start out filtered to 50 microunits EC with Air Temp Day 81 F Night 68 and Air Moisture Day 53 Night 61. While the first experiments with Mills turned the lab into a scary nightmarish hell of popcorn farts, scorched Earth err rockwool and stunted development, it took a few weeks to get the swing of Mills system, but the trick really was to just throw almost everything learned about other nutrients out the window. Mills bonds A with B and from everything we've found it's actually an Organic if apply the FDA standards in the U.S. But we recovered this batch to at least cover costs and continue a second.
The Second batch out of the lab brought vastly different and positive results. By just applying the best measurement figures that worked for each stage of development during the first batch, the results were visible within 2 days and without any of the negatives associated with the first round of experimentation. The only real downsides were the lack of a pump applicator and agitator, (20, 10 and 5 L bottles), that would fit and the cost: 20L of A($175), B ($175); 5L C4 ($150) 2L Pk ($160) = 1 rotation or $66/lb nutrient cost. While more than other nutrient systems, the ability to fine tune Mills up or down at any stage of the plant's development and see the results 24-48 hours later, witnessing the visible changes A/B then C4 then Pk until ripening is worth it.
I use it, and pretty much everyone I know out here in the PNW does... getting 1.5 -2.4 per light...very solid line..
I am in the UK and have been told that Mills will shortly be available here, the only bad review I have found anywhere so far is from Greenme9804 (above)who joined on 02/16/2013 left one bad comment when he joined and never left a comment about anything before or after.
Do I detect a competitor at work here? you could have at least been a bit more subtle.
If anyone does have any genuine info in Mills Nutrients (good or bad) I would like to know more about it as I don't want to be the UK pioneer.
nice first 3 posts. lol
nice first post! no way you work for mills. no way!
Teach me your ways!!! Just starting this line. What have you learned from using this nutrient? Got any tips? I will be growing in COCO. My buddy uses this line and he is actually using less than the LIGHT FEED SCHEDULE and his plants are very healthy.
Thanks for your time
I am curntley using Mills and I love it.
pH problems anyone? I have been adding around 3ml per gallon cal mag and keep my Mills around 5ml AB 4ml R in veg. Ive noticed If I leave it in my res aerating, my pH will rise from 5.8 to 6.5 by the next day. Could it be from aerating it?
Just started Mills. Plants look healthy green in veg, soon as i switched, they all were praying to the lights. They seem to be very happy.
Original roots organic medium, I'm doing food water food water ect.
On top of the Mills, I will be using Terpinator and Rock Resinator. Light doses of Sweet Stash for bacteria food in veg and flower, or even as simple as molasses.
If I can find it, the last supplement I will be adding to the recipe is, Facilator by Aptus. Its a "silicic" acid which is bio available for the plants, unlike silicate.

Cindy Davis, a Libra, reads her horoscope in The Advertiser-Tribune every day.
But one she read about six months ago impacted her so deeply, she cut it out and has had it hanging on her desk.
"Know what is valuable," it states. "If you have money but not time, you are not rich. And if you have time but not money, you can still be wealthy. With a little creativity, you can find a way to have both."

Cindy Davis
The horoscope had an impact on Davis' decision to retire from The A-T. She said she works all year and gets 15 days of vacation a year to spend with her family.
"I want more moments (with my family). ... You never know when your last day is," she said.
Davis, The A-T's advertising director, is retiring, and today is her last day on the job.
Davis, a Rossford native, studied advertising at Bowling Green State University and found an opening for an advertising sales representative at The A-T after graduation. She was offered an interview, but didn't know where Tiffin was located.
"We got the map out," she said.
Davis was offered the job and started working in September 1975. About a year later, she married Lance, who retired from Tiffin Developmental Center two years ago, and they have two daughters, Jennifer and Casey.
She had several other jobs and returned to The A-T full time in 1981. She has been the advertising director since 2005.
Davis said she has some 30-year friendships at The A-T, and she mostly will miss the people at the newspaper.
She said she and her husband have a lot of projects around the house they've put off and hopefully now will get done.
Davis said they have three grandchildren now, and they hopefully will visit them more. They also will do some traveling, she said.
Publisher Chris Dixon has worked with Davis ever since he started working at The A-T 21 years ago. He had been the advertising director, and Davis took over his position when he became the publisher five years ago.
Dixon said he will miss her not only as the advertising director, but also as a friend.
He said she makes it easy to come to work every day, and she has been one of the most creative salespeople he ever has seen. He said he thinks will miss her creativity the most.
"She's organized, too," he said.
Davis' replacement is Mary Perkins, who comes to The A-T with more than 25 years of newspaper advertising experience. She was a sales representative at The A-T in the 1980s and most recently spent seven years as the publisher of Fostoria's Review Times.

A Volusia County woman is accused of stealing up to $100,000 from her wealthy elderly aunt, claiming she had power of attorney and was spending the money on the 96-year-old victim.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies said their investigation shows Kathy Laderman was spending the money on herself, her husband and her son.
Top video: Snake undergoes surgery after eating towel
Authorities said Laderman illegally withdrew money over the last year from the victim's account and deposited it in an account the senior didn't know about.
Laderman allegedly made lavish purchases, including new furniture for the victim's home because the suspect was planning to move in when the victim died.

Invitation restaurant was started in 1986 with a dream to touch the palate of west Delhiites. This dream was fulfilled within a year when people of Ashok Vihar and in neighbouring areas patronised us with great enthusiasm and zeal. This inspired us to add banquets in other parts of the city and serve people who wanted to make their family occasions memorable. This is how INVITATION K was born in the heart of West Delhi. Centrally located at Kirti Nagar near Moti Nagar metro station on the main Najafgarh Road, we have a vast amount of space and free valet parking for our patrons and visitors.
I just had my wedding here this weekend, and I got so many compliments about my wedding. Food was awesome and the decoration was so perfect.– Manish Gupta
Invitation K Banquets is the place to be for your big events. Service attentive, great management team, it's what everyone talks about...– Baljit Arora
Having my wedding reception at Invitation K Banquets was the best decision that I made. The food was great and so was the service.– Rakesh Sharma
Thank you - A very enjoyable stay. We were only here for about 30 Hours but all your staff were so friendly, helpful - unfair to single out one.– Harish
I am writing to express my appreciation to you for the excellent service provided at our Banquet.– Mahesh Chadha

Now that bitcoins have been recognized by the Germans, I wonder who will be next to legitimize the digital currencies?ReplyDelete
Great point. As you perhaps know, the Bitcoin Foundation met this week with the Feds to see if they can come up with some ground rules. These are positive signs.Delete
There are biotin ATM machines that are coming online. How will that work?ReplyDelete
Thank you for the helpful information. I also think that Forexminute.com is a good website, it has very helpful information for trade bitcoins, bitcoin news, forex trading online, bitcoin exchange, foreign exchange brokers, buying bitcoins, etc.ReplyDelete
Prices are now running at an all time high....ReplyDelete
Why are the Chinese accepting bitcoins when they don't allow their own currency to float?ReplyDelete
Good point. Bitcoins have the potential to upset their apple cart the most.Delete
If bitcoins keep going up like they are, you might be able to pay off the US debt with one of them!!ReplyDelete
Lol... you may be right about that. There doesn't seem to be a top on its rise.Delete
The senate hearings are giving more legitimacy to these virtual currencies. Why are the others you mention not in the limelight?ReplyDelete
"But, a lot of good ideas start as a techie experiment. The internet itself, was one such experiment."
If by "one such experiment" you mean a huge government project involving thousands of researchers and billions of dollars. Then...yes, the internet was "a techie experiment."
Also, any alternative crypto currencies that solve the problems absent monetary management?
Did the 'experiment' cost a lot? Yes. It did. The govt. invests in a lot of things from NIH medical work to space. Whereas Bitcoins is the name currency, there are a lot of other experiments. Just the shear size of the currency's total worth now has a lot more people looking. Better products generally result from that.Delete
Yet more bitcoins have been stolen from their wallets. This is not a secure currency yet.
You are right. Not much which is digital is safe. But then, neither is cold cash.Delete
Paypal's endorsement for Bitcoins is another win for the currency. Some had speculated that the success of Bitcoins might peek the interest of company's like Paypal to start looking at creating similar currencies.ReplyDelete
As expected bitcoin value decreases, one major downside is its volatility. Do you think it can stabilize overtime? I believe so. Bitcoin has been very controversial this year. But bitcoin casino like BetCoin™ is gaining good momentum of revenue for the last couple of years. Is this a great indication that bitcoin gambling is bitcoin's last safe heaven?ReplyDelete
This kind of stuff is really useful for me. It's a great idea. I was searching such info since long time for my project bitcoins and today's I found it finally. Thanks a lot

Governor: Ban on gun shows on public land contemplated
January 5, 2013
HARRISBURG (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett said Friday he would consider a radio-show caller's suggestion that gun shows be banned on publicly owned property....
Let's ask a few questions here. Why is it after a shooting everyone wants to blame the gun? When after someone in a car hits a pedestrian,crowd or another car and someone is killed they blame the driver not the car? It's the person/people doing these killings not the car,gun,knife or whatever else they use. Put the blame where it belongs!

Picks and Pans: Movies
DVD View
Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi
Sadly, based on the evidence here, the future of movies will not include original thinking when it comes to characters or plot. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow represents Hollywood's vision of a brave new world: It was made almost entirely by filming actors against a blue screen—no locations, no sets—and then using digital imagery to fill in the scenery, backgrounds and hordes of extras. The hitch is that the movie plays as if the script was also written by a computer, one that had been programmed to slice and dice and recombine Casablanca, Metropolis, Buck Rogers serials and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Given how dazzling Sky Captain looks, particularly in its early scenes, one wishes mightily that first-time writer-director Kerry Conran had found a more intriguing story to support his visual and technological panache. Instead we get a familiar, feeble tale about Capt. H. Joseph Sullivan (Law), a daredevil pilot better known as Sky Captain, reluctantly teaming up with Manhattan newspaper reporter Polly Perkins (Paltrow), his former girlfriend, in the late '30s to stop an evil German scientist from destroying the planet. Add battles with robots, attacking spaceships and a trip to the Himalayas, and who can blame a viewer for half-expecting Indiana Jones to pop up to lend a hand?
Both Law and Paltrow get into the period swing, with Law emphasizing his hero's raffishness and Paltrow Polly's pluckiness (despite a tendency to whine). Jolie, playing a British military officer who once rivaled Polly for the Sky Captain's affections, manages to make maximum impact in a minimal part. Maybe it's her eye patch. No one-eyed pirate ever looked as sexy or commanding. (PG)
Kirsten Dunst, Paul Bettany, Sam Neill
Good serve, no follow through. That's the call on this love story set at the annual Grand Slam tennis tournament near London. Peter Colt (Bettany) is a 31-year-old English player who is ranked No. 119, has never won a major title and is taking a final crack at Wimbledon. Dunst is a rising American prodigy prone to John McEnroe-like tantrums who's making her Wimbledon debut (which in today's tennis world would mean she's a teenager, though the film carefully avoids giving her age). They meet and begin an affair, and Coifs game rises along with his libido. Can he win the girl and the championship cup?
Wimbledon starts well, promising to be a quirky British comedy, but quickly loses its bounce. Bettany proves a charming leading man, but Dunst can't rescue her weakly written character. (PG-13)
Bernie Mac, Angela Bassett
Amiably gruff and unpretentious, Bernie Mac, who already has his own sitcom on FOX, has been a dependably welcome face in a string of supporting movie parts (I can't even hold Charlie's Angels 2 against him). But it will take another picture before anyone can size up his ability to be an out-and-out star. It's impossible to tell much of anything from Mr. 3000, a movie that shows real talent—directed by Charles Stone III (Drumline), it looks great, with a vibrant palette of stadium greens and blues—but no coherence. The laughs and dramatic moments come small and quick. It's like sitting through a night of bunts.
Mac plays Ross, an arrogant first baseman who quits the major leagues as soon as he reaches the fabled benchmark of 3,000 hits. Nine years later, in his late 40s and yet to be voted into the Hall of Fame—too much 'tude—he suddenly learns he's still three hits shy of the record because of a statistical error. He returns to the game, determined to make up the difference. Ross is credibly good whether sulking, gloating or weathering humiliation, but there's nothing larger than life about him. He's a real man, not a legend. Bassett, as a TV sports correspondent and former flame, shows up from time to time, giving off tight shivers of rage or arousal. Mac probably could have benefited from playing opposite someone less intense. (PG-13)
Head in the Clouds
They don't make 'em like this anymore—with good reason. In a heavy-breathing romantic drama, Charlize Theron (above) emotes heartily as a promiscuous Parisian who can't comprehend why her lovers (Stuart Townsend and Penélope Cruz) are so concerned about the rise of fascism and Nazism in Europe in the 1930s. Long on plot, short on sense. (R)
Kim Basinger is a kidnap victim who, while locked in an attic somewhere in LA., resourcefully connects two dangling wires on a smashed phone to reach a stranger (Chris Evans, below) on his cell phone. It's a silly premise riddled with holes, but this suspense thriller rings up enough twists to keep both her would-be rescuer and viewers hanging on. The always dependable William H. Macy earns laughs as an inquisitive cop. (PG-13)
Silver City
An uneasy mix of political satire and noir thriller, this latest from director-writer John Sayles comes tantalizingly close to brilliance in some scenes but fails to mesh as a whole. Hired to find out if someone is sabotaging a mush-mouthed gubernatorial candidate (Chris Cooper, above, who's hilarious), a journalist turned private eye (Danny Huston) uncovers serious crimes. Daryl Hannah and Kris Kristofferson contribute memorable bits. (R)
Hollywood studios use the 10-day Toronto Film Festival (Sept. 9-18) as a giant lab in which to test responses to the movies they hope will score with audiences (and Oscar voters) in coming months. Here's a scouting report:
Invasion of the Biopics The lives of singers Ray Charles and Bobby Darin, as well as sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, are examined in three movies. Best is the astutely nuanced Ray, featuring Jamie Foxx (above) in a powerhouse performance. Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson as the title character, manages to be both fascinating and funny. The problem child: Beyond the Sea, the Darin biopic. Kevin Spacey (who also directed) has the pipes but can't bridge the age gap. (The crooner was 37 when he died; Spacey is 45.)
Being and Nothingness
Who'd have thought there was rich comic potential in pitting existentialism against nihilism, but director-writer David O. Russell (Three Kings) finds it in the wacky I Love Huckabees. Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin generate brainy chuckles as a duo of philosophy-minded detectives intent on helping clients Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg find the meaning of life.
Curtain Up
Backstage antics in London are the focus of both Being Julia, an amiable comedy starring Annette Bening as a theater diva in the 1930s, and Stage Beauty, a romantic drama with Claire Danes and Billy Crudup. The esoteric Beauty, set during the Restoration, is about the last days of an era when only male actors were allowed to play women.
Fished Out
There are laughs to be had, but Shark Tale, an animated fish story from DreamWorks (Shrek), is no Finding Nemo.
Vintage Comedy
Paul Giamatti (American Splendor) gives another splendid, sad-sack performance in Sideways, a lovely, bittersweet comedy about a wine enthusiast.
Star Wars Trilogy (Fox, $69.98)
One of the most anticipated DVD sets of all time finally makes its debut in a superb four-disc collection. The original trilogy—Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi-has never looked or sounded better: Creator George Lucas, who tweaked the films for a 1997 theatrical re-release, has done some further tinkering by fine-tuning the special effects and dialogue (although he goes too far by jarringly inserting Attack of the Clones' Hayden Christensen into Jedi's finale).Extras: Informative commentary from Lucas and a wry Carrie Fisher; a must-see 2M-hour documentary, packed with fascinating making-of footage; an intriguing glimpse of next summer's Revenge of the Sith. The sole omission: Lucas neglects to include the original versions of the films that fans first fell in love with 27 years ago. (PG)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Universal, $29.98)
Jim Carrey erases girlfriend Kate Winslet from his memory in one of the year's best films, a quirky comedy that unexpectedly morons into a surprisingly poignant look at relationships.
Extras: Mostly forgettable, except for an engaging featurette in which Carrey and director Michel Gondry swap production tales—including their big on-set fight—and clown around in behind-the-scenes footage. (R)
Mean Girls (Paramount, $29,95)
Lindsay Lohan navigates the American high school jungle in one of the smartest teen comedies since Clueless. Extras: Disappointingly subdued commentary from screenwriter and costar Tina Fey; an insightful interview with Queen Bees and Wannabes author Rosalind Wiseman, whose nonfiction book inspired the film. (PG-13)

How 2 Succeed on NG
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Funny stuff
Pretty funny submission. Normally I don't go for long narratives, but that was pretty witty. Nice change-ups in animation style to prove your point. Keep up the good work.
The Lurid Hug
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Tiny, but cool
Pretty simple, but it was animated neatly and creatively; I liked it. I wouldn't mind having that on my red Razr V3r; drop me a PM if you do.

Best. Consolidation. Ever.
Recent Game Reviews
Marina Attack -Extended-
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Movement feels really good, though I got mixed up sometimes between the capture-weapon button and the fire button since they're so close to each other. The capture-weapon tentacle was a nice feature, but I found myself wishing I could have caught weapons by touching an enemy with the entire tentacle, and not just the tip. Having no choice but to place myself directly in the line of enemy fire was kind of annoying.
Your boss fights are ridiculously hard. Like WAY hard. I was glad that the second boss offered power-ups. Maybe this is what the first fight was lacking? Showing some battle damage on the bosses might help if you don't want to lower the difficulty. That way players are encouraged to keep fighting if they see their hits having an impact.
Nice concept and controls overall. Some variety in music, more power-ups early in the game, and a tweaking of the boss battles would make this really great.
Save Bugs From Spider
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Love this. It's simple, easy to learn, and fun to come back to. If this had some power ups, more music selections, and other kinds of variety I'd consider footing a buck or two to buy this game for my cell phone. Nice job.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Controls are responsive and harmonize well with the game environment. I almost got stumped on the last level, but a little logic and perseverance go a long way. Great job, it's a really well made little game.

A defeated hero
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Love it. I like that you didn't end it at 0:47. It kind of picked up with some extra punch at the end and really closed the deal on a solid short piece of music.
thank you
that was exactly what I was going for :D
short and sweet
Showdown Beat
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good feel for a theme
Liked it muchly. I thought the intro built up really good and had a great beat to it. Only thing I would suggest to improve it would be a chorus somewhere in the middle, or a peek of intensity before the song reaches it's end and begins to slow it's beat.
Liked this one.
That's a good idea with the peak, i should make it a little longer then though. Thanks bro
Purple Dawn
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
An awesome, awesome piece. The music almost effortlessly toys with my imagination and the beat goes so well with the string/synth effect in the background. I could definitely see this being a really great asset in a movie or game. Keep up the fantastic work.

Spirituality & Meaning Making Programs
Carnegie Mellon, like many other institutions, provides exceptional outlets for the intellectual, emotional, artistic, professional, cultural and the leadership development of students. However, what sets us apart is a strong and sincere focus of the spiritual development of our students. Over time, most colleges and universities have strayed away from intentionally supporting students find their place in the world or make meaning from their experiences.
CMU takes pride in purposefully creating opportunities for students to pause, engage in self-inquiry, and to reflect upon and to articulate ones moral fabric. We encourage our students to self-author and own their personal visions and core values. As an institution of higher learning, we have the responsibility to invite them to ask, reflect upon, and answer the deep questions of life; who is my Self and what is my Work?
Rogers and Dantley (2001) make the case that "A well-developed spiritual intelligence provides a powerful new framework for understanding one's place in the world". The scholars continue to state that, "those possessed of a high spiritual intelligence, seem to develop particular capacities and insights". These insights include:
- A deep sense of the inter-connectedness of life.
- They know intimately what it means to be part of or create community.
- They know themselves well and practice integrity, reflection, and collaboration.
- They can suspend their own assumptions in order to truly listen to and understand the Other.
- They know what they ultimately serve and are connected intimately with a higher power.
- They operate from a sense of "I have to."
- They do not depend only on themselves for the vision of the organization or the cause to which they are committed.
- They use power ethically and can give it away without feeling a loss of self.
- They do not project pain or addiction on others.
- They create conditions that release human possibility and creativity.
- They are life-giving.
Spirituality and Meaning Making Programs run the gamut from collaborative interfaith work with the religious student organizations to the Big Questions program. We intently cater to the interests and desires of students all along the spirituality spectrum. That is, we provide opportunities for those students who are immersed in their religious/spiritual journey as well as those students interested in exploring secular queries of their Self.
Down the left side of the page you will find links and further information regarding the initiatives and resources under the auspices of the Spirituality and Meaning Making Programs. Please do not hesitate to be in touch. Enjoy the exploration!

TODAY'S DILEMMA: What do you think about the idea of models auctioning their eggs to people who want to have beautiful babies?
THE DEBATE: Anyone who denies that beautiful people have a leg up in our society is blind to reality.
While looks alone rarely carry a person to success, looks can open doors.
At the same time, parents go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their children will be successful. Whether it's starting their daughter in tennis lessons at 4 years of age or enrolling their son in the most respectable kindergarten prep school, parents want their children to have every advantage.
Is it any wonder, then, that some are turning to the very building blocks of creation to lay the groundwork for success?
Ron Harris, a fashion photographer and horse breeder, laid an ethical egg when he announced that he would auction the oocytes of beautiful models on his Web site,
"It is now possible to choose a biological mother for your child by looking at pictures of professional models on the Internet," said Amarilloan Johnny Sawatzki. "It is also possible to plan your Thanksgiving dinner by looking at seed catalogs in February. I do not recommend either."
As you might expect, the medical community takes a dim view of Harris and his auction.
"I think this whole idea of auctioning off human tissue, i.e. human eggs, quite frankly is detestable and certainly unethical," said Dr. Robert P. Kauffman, director of Infertility Service at Texas Tech Medical School in Amarillo.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine issues "Guidelines for Oocyte Donation," and Kauffman submitted those guidelines as background on the issue.
The guidelines cover testing, solicitation, screening and selection of donors, as well as the issue of compensation.
"Donors may be reimbursed for the direct and indirect expenses associated with their participation, and may be compensated for their inconvenience, time, discomfort, and for the risk undertaken," the guidelines state.
"Payments should not be so excessive as to constitute coercion or exploitation."
Kauffman said that, on the average, egg donors are paid $500.
Beverly Hills eggs must be a little more valuable because Bill Handel, a fertility expert with the Center for Surrogate Parenting Inc. and Egg Donation Inc., told The Associated Press that women can get $2,500 to $3,000 for an egg.
Even so, that's a far cry from the minimum bid of $15,000 for a beautiful egg from Harris' Web site. And if you want a REALLY beautiful egg, you can expect to shell out $150,000.
"It's not about reproductive freedom and reproductive ethics. It's about money, and you can quote me on that," Kauffman said.
Harris' efforts are not the first attempt at fertility engineering.
In 1980, the Repository for Germinal Choice's "Nobel sperm bank" opened in Escondido, Calif. Its founder believed that intelligence could be bred and originally accepted sperm only from Nobel Prize winners, according to The Associated Press. Later the center accepted sperm from nonscientists whose IQ was at least 140.
Is it more ethical if your goal is to have a child with high intelligence rather than one with great beauty?
"If men and woman value youth more than anything else, what value is wisdom and spiritual growth?" Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein were not pretty people, Kauffman said.
"If we follow these so-called ethics of the Web site then that means if people are not beautiful they are not important."
Many physicians oppose the idea of anything more than token compensation for donors, and there are legitimate ethical concerns, such as coercion and risk to the donor.
However, even the reproductive medicine society's guidelines are somewhat vague and open to interpretation. Who's to say what is reasonable compensation for inconvenience and risk? Is it Kauffman's $500, Handel's $3,000 or Harris' $150,000?
Legitimate concerns about compensating donors can and should be addressed, but in these days of donor shortages, safe systems should be set up to allow more than just minimal compensation for donors.
Admittedly, Harris' extreme proposal is distasteful, but if a consenting adult with an understanding of the risks chooses to auction off his sperm or her eggs, and some sap is willing to plunk down $150,000 for to buy it, so be it.
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.

Johannesburg: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has named an unchanged 15-man squad for South Africa's three-Test series in England next month, putting faith in the men who beat New Zealand 1-0 earlier this year.
South Africa will tour England for Test matches at The Oval, Headingley and Lord's in what will be a fascinating battle for the No. 1 spot. England are currently holders of that title but South Africa are just one point away with 116 on the ICC's Test rankings and a series win will elevate Graeme Smith's team to the top.
"The players fully deserve a vote of confidence after the outstanding manner in which they outplayed New Zealand away from home," said CSA selection convener Andrew Hudson. "We are now building up excellent depth in both the batting and bowling departments. This was highlighted by JP Duminy's century when he was called up as an 11th hour replacement for Jacques Kallis.
"I believe most other countries would be very happy to have the fast bowling resources we have at the moment. Marchant de Lange has been most impressive since his outstanding debut against Sri Lanka while Lonwabo Tsotsobe gives us a left-arm option. Consistency has also been one of the key pillars of our selection policy and this is also contributing to our success on the field."
The series starts on July 19 with the final Test finishing on August 20. AB de Villiers, South Africa's ODI captain, will be the reserve wicketkeeper in the Tests behind Mark Boucher who is set to retire after the third Test.
South Africa Test squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher (wk), Marchant de Lange, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, Morne, Alviro Petersen, Robin Peterson, Vernon Philander, Jacques Rudolph, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Your location: Ohio
Age (If you want): 42
How Primal are you: fairly, I do my best.
Do you consume dairy: experimenting, but right now just full-fat Greek yogurt
Do you drink coffee or tea: both, 2 cups of coffee a day, cold-brewed tea as my go-to drink.
Motivator for switching to Primal: increasing depression and a strange sluggishness and fatigue I used to get after eating certain foods. My experiments and research led me to MDA eventually.
Favorite exercise: walking; anything bodyweight (no excuses!), but the pull-up bar otherwise.
Favorite Primal food: grass-fed steak
Best part about being Primal: low cognitive dissonance and tons of confirmation bias! But seriously, the steaks. And the bacon and eggs.
Worst part about being Primal: finding the full-fat versions of foods.

In another life, I would love to become a wildlife biologist; it combines things I loves such as working with animals, walking, observing deeply, and travel. This book does all of the above plus makes you more curious about the flora and fauna around us. Why are robins common and not Kirtland's warblers? Why are deer abundant and not jaguars? Eric Dinerstein, the author, started his scientific career studying tigers and later rhinoceroses. He is now Chief Scientist at the World Wildlife Fund. In The Kingdom of Rarities, he travels to many continents to explore the rare creatures and plants living there.
One of the places he and his scientific team visit is Irian Jaya, a remote island on the Indonesian archipelago. It combines two aspects of places that often give homes to rare creatures: remoteness, and being situated on an island. Another factor that makes Irian Jaya home to rarities is its geology—its steep mountains and gorges serve as barriers to invasive species which have become common on many other islands. The description of Dinerstein's flight to this research spot is compelling; it was incredibly risky just to land a plane there. But well worth it because the scientists found many rare creatures quite close to them and not shy at all with humans. The scientists were amazed by how many species divided their habitats vertically.
Making yourself read outside your comfort zone can end up with some total misses and some excellent surprises. In all likelihood I would have missed Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites, a graphic novel about a talking pack of animals that solve supernatural mysteries in their seemingly sweet suburban neighborhood of Burden Hill. That description wouldn't peak my interest, but also doesn't do the graphic novel justice either.The storytelling is episodic, in that there are chapters that are a complete story into itself which makes for a fast read. There is a pack of animal friends, all dogs and one orphan cat who start uncovering supernatural cases in their neighborhood. They eventually become apprentices in the Wise Dog Society to further their training in fighting these evil forces. The supernatural stories cover a wide range from an evil coven of cats, a rain of mutant frogs, werewolves, magical earthen golems, ghosts, and more.
Raccoons are smart. If you've ever had to deal with them then you'll probably agree that they are some of the smartest creatures on Earth. In 2011, PBS did a one-hour documentary on raccoons and their nocturnal behavior. The raccoons were tagged with GPS collars and studied for three months. The information gleaned from the researchers begged the question, "Are humans making raccoons smarter?" It seem as though every attempt to keep them out of our trash bins present them with a new and interesting puzzle to solve which in turn creates smarter raccoons that survive and pass on their genes. It sounds like a ridiculous theory but take look at the documentary before you make any judgments. The library owns one copy at the main branch.
If you're an animal lover (and who isn't?), you'll love this book. Fifty Animals is full of fascinating facts and anecdotes that describe our symbiotic and other relationships with interesting creatures through time.Do you admire your friend's bright red shirt? If so, tell her that for centuries the best and most durable red dye came from Mexico and was shipped as far away as Asia. This red dye came from thousands of insects named chochineal. It takes about 70,000 insects to make just a pound of it. Since the advent of chemical dyes, it's seldom used in textiles any longer, but it now employed as a safe colorant for food. The lowly donkey otherwise known as ass, has a reputation for being incredibly dumb, when in fact, they are smart, very adaptable animals that have carried our heavy loads for centuries throughout the world.The wise and majestic elephant--my favorite mammal--we unfortunately coerced into war. In fact, the sight of just one of these intelligent beasts carrying archers and slingers reportedly so terrified the defenders of early Britain that the poor Anglo-Saxons were routed by the Roman army.
With a wry wit honed as an Emmy Award winning writer and animator for Sesame Street, author and illustrator Mo Willems broke into the world of Children's Literature in a big way in 2003 with a bus obsessed pigeon. The following year he endeared himself to children and parents alike with his spot on depiction of a distraught toddler who has lost her stuffed animal in the picturebook Knuffle Bunny, which also earned Willems his second Caldecott Honor medal from the American Library Association (ALA).
But it was Willems' Elephant and Piggie books for early readers that secured his renown as "the Dr. Seuss of this generation." In fact, his first Elephant and Piggie book: There is a Bird on Your Head! received the 2008 Geisel Award Medal, which the ALA gives to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. The winners are recognized especially for their ability to creatively and imaginatively engage children in reading. Willems won the Geisel Award again in 2009 for his second Elephant and Piggie book: Are You Ready to Play Outside? He received the Geisel Honor Award in 2011 and 2012 for the Elephant and Piggie stories: We Are in a Book! and I Broke My Trunk.
If you haven't yet introduced your beginner reader to an Elephant and Piggie story -- there are now 17 to choose from -- each one as delightful as the next, all featuring large type and short sentences that manage to convey the charming friendship Elephant and Piggie share. (If Willems is this generation's Dr. Seuss, Elephant and Piggie are this generation's Frog and Toad -- good friends who appear in the beginner reader stories by Arnold Lobel.)
Whether you are a brand new or longtime fan of Elephant and Piggie, you are sure to enjoy meeting them this Friday, April 13 at 4:30 pm when we will be sharing some of their stories, a short film, and a craft celebrating their adventures together. Call us at 349-3100, or register online to reserve a seat. And stop by the reference desk between 2:30 and 4 pm Friday afternoon to try out the "Don't Let the Pigeon Run this App" activity we have on our iPads. In the meantime, you can create a dance for Elephant and Piggie at The Pigeon Presents website, or visit Mo Willems' website to find more fun and games!
Sometimes the simplest of stories convey complex ideas most beautifully. More by I.C. Springman has just a few words on each page, but the illustrations vividly depict the hazards of collecting too much "stuff." The story features a magpie - a crow-like bird that folklore recognizes for its attraction to shiny objects -- and which commonly describes someone who collects odds and ends of little value. (I do believe I am parent to a couple of magpies!)
Microhistories are a subgenre of non-fiction books which take a particular subject or single event and through intensive historical research try to contextualize the chosen subject within the broader picture. Both Simon Winchester and Mark Kurlansky are well known microhistorians. Kurlansky in particular is known for Salt: A World History, 1968: The Year That Rocked the World, and The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell. As a history nerd, I find that a well written microhistory uncovers a previously unthought-of subject or event and breathes life into the history cannon as a whole. Curious? Check out titles like Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug, Just My Type: A Book About Fonts, or Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Several years ago I read and enjoyed a microhistory called Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World by Dan Koeppel.
For those of you who love animal stories, this DVD from our collection is a must see! Hachi, starring Richard Gere, Joan Allen, and Sarah Roemer, chronicles the life of an extraordinary dog named Hachiko. No one really knows where Hachi came from, but the small Akita puppy shows up at a train station one evening as Professor Parker Wilson (played by Gere) comes home from work. Though the professor's efforts to find Hachi a new home prove in vain, his wife and daughter watch the bond between man and dog grow and agree that Hachi should stay. As he grows, Hachi becomes so attached to his master that he walks him to the train station each morning and awaits his return there each afternoon.
One day, however, tragedy strikes and the professor does not return home on the train. Though the professor's family tries to explain to Hachi that the professor won't ever be coming home, Hachi continues to wait for his master's return at the station each day--for nine years! This truly inspiring story is family-friendly and shows the beauty of a dog's loyal and undying devotion for his master. If you are particularly tender-hearted, make sure to keep a box of tissues handy, as this movie may tug on your heartstrings!This title is located in our Juvenile Collection on the first floor of the library. A trailer is available to watch at the Internet Movie Database website.

RSS | Module Info | Add a review of NetAddr-IP
NetAddr-IP (4.058)
Re: request for...
NetAddr::IP::isMask to validate string as a mask from any notation "contiguous 1's on the left followed by contiguous 0's to the right"
See the sub-module NetAddr::IP::Util function "notcontiguous"
$ip = NetAddr::IP->new("some address");
($spurious,$cidr) = notcontiguous($ip->{mask});
This function counts the bit positions remaining in
the mask when the rightmost '0's are removed.
input: 128 bit netmask
returns true if there are spurious
zero bits remaining in the
mask, false if the mask is
contiguous one's,
128 bit cidr number
NetAddr-IP (4.007)
This is a great module with a nice interface. I have been using it without problems for at least 3 or 4 years in all kinds of projects including extensive use in an IP management tool.
NetAddr-IP (3.24)
Great job Luis!
NetAddr-IP (3.20)
I don't quite understand why we need three libraries for dealing with IP address blocks, but "choice" is a double-edged sword. This is the first one I stumbled upon and began using, and then after realizing that I had other options, did my research. I agree with this author, that it is probably more a matter of preference than anything else, but NetAddr::IP does seem to have the widest range of functionality.
So as my preferences go, GNU/Linux for os's, Debian for GNU/Linux distros, Perl for high-level programming, and now NetAddr::IP for IP Address Abstraction in Perl, I think we need the following added to the NetAddr suite:
NetAddr::MAC for MAC Addresses
NetAddr::OSI for OSI networks
NetAddr::IP::isMask validate string as a mask from any notation "contiguous 1's on the left followed by contiguous 0's to the right"
I should get to work.

Hilarious: Watch Mr. Wizard Be Mean (Video)Sunny Chanel
If you are of a certain age, you will remember Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, as the host of a popular educational science show for kids. The series began in 1951 and ran until 1965 airing on NBC. After an almost 20-year hiatus from TV, Mr. Wizard returned with Mr. Wizard's World which aired on Nickelodeon and then Nick at Night from 1983 to 1995. One thing for sure, Mr. Herbert (the Wizard) was no-nonsense, a total straight shooter, and, if you believe in the power of editing, also kind of a jerk.
Constructed by Diane Bullock and Mike Schuster, their mash up of awkward Mr. Wizard moments is hilarious with refrains of "that's wrong," "that not right," "you don't seem to have a great amount of confidence," and "stop it."
Check out Mr. Wizard being "a dick" right here.

Exhibition Explores Need for Superhuman and Mortal Heroes in Society
"Medallion with bust of Alexander the Great", ca. 218235 CE. Gold, diameter: 6 7/8 in. The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore 59.1
Heroes: Mortals and Myths in Ancient Greece, an exhibition exploring the human need for heroes through the arts of one of the oldest and most influential cultures in history, will open in the
Frist Center
s Upper-Level Galleries January 29, 2010, and remain on view through April 25, 2010.
More than 100 works, including statues, reliefs, vases, bronzes and jewelry made between the sixth and first centuries BCE and drawn from prestigious U.S. and European museums illustrate the lives of Greek heroes including their tasks, adversaries, challenges, failures and private moments. Heroes are sometimes portrayed as superhuman protagonists while at other times as average people who rise above the ordinary. Included are both mythological heroes, among them Herakles, Achilles, Odysseus and Helen, and mortal heroes, including warriors, athletes and rulers.
The exhibition comes to the Frist Center from the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.
Heroes: Mortals and Myths in Ancient Greece demonstrates how the term hero applied to a broad array of figures for the ancient Greeks. The livesand deathsof individual Greek heroes and heroines could be quite different from one another, but all were believed to have supernatural powers they could use for good or evil after their deaths. This belief inspired Greeks to worship them through rituals and offerings.
In contemporary society, the word hero means something quite different than it did in ancient times. Altruism, self-sacrifice, disregard for danger and a willingness to sacrifice oneself for a great cause are hallmarks of the modern day hero. These traits might be possessed by ancient heroes in their mortal lives; however, they were understood as heroic only in terms of their deathas people who continued to exist and served as objects of worship.
Whether in ancient Greece or in modern times, heroes help define and shape the values and goals of a society, said Frist Center Executive Director Susan H. Edwards, Ph.D. With this exhibition, we are able to explore the roles heroes have played in creating societys norms and influencing behavior. This exhibition allows us to go back to the seminal notion of hero to help understand how our current heroes relate to heroes in ancient times. In antiquity, for example, heroes were celebrated with offerings, rituals and monuments. Today, our own contemporary heroes are acknowledged and many times created by the mass media, a kind of latter-day monument.
There is wonderful interactivity with this exhibition and the programs planned over the course of this exhibition will invite people to examine and discuss our own heroes, from superhuman to the everyday, she concluded.
Exhibition Overview
Heroes is divided into three sections. The first, Mythological Heroes, presents the lifecycles of four major heroes: Achilles, Herakles, Odysseus and Helen. Each had distinctive characteristics and unique tales. Greek artists humanized these figures through depictions of their parentage, birth, education, marriages, exploits and deaths. Their triumphs and setbacks are shown, revealing both their glory and their vulnerabilities. The four epic heroes do not share a common mold and illustrate how different the qualities of a hero could be.
The second section, Worship of Heroes, explores the worship of heroes as practiced in communities throughout ancient Greece. After their deaths, heroes were thought to live on with powers they could use for good or evil. Thus, they needed to be venerated in order to be appeased. Hero worship was highly ritualized, and many of the images in this section provide visual illustration of how heroes were honored through the offerings left and the banquets that were held.
Here, a site of hero worship will be reproduced using special installations. A large-scale photo mural of Messene will allow visitors to experience the sites and monuments where devotees placed offerings and said prayers in honor of a hero or heroine, enlisting their support or expressing gratitude for help received.
The final section, Emulation: Heroes as Role Models, considers heroes and heroines as role models for the ancient Greeks, in particular warriors, athletes, women and rulers. While an ancient Greek could not become a hero until death, heroes and heroines provided a means by which they could measure their achievements and a way of distinguishing heroic from non-heroic behavior. Like Achilles, a Greek soldier knew he had to risk his life for honor and glory. The strength and prowess of Herakles served as a paradigm for Greek athletes in training and competition. Odysseus exemplifies a hero who used his intellect, not his strength, to achieve success. Finally, Helen, though an ambiguous heroine, was revered for her remarkable beauty and divine birth. She was emulated in particular by brides depicted in wedding scenes.
With the rise of Alexander the Great during the Hellenistic period, we see leaders appropriating Greek heroes for their own veneration and propaganda. Alexander likened himself to Achilles and Herakles, and various types of heroic representations were developed for Hellenistic rulers based on existing models from the Archaic and Classical periods.
Many other heroes, only some of whom are known to us through art and literary sources, were venerated in ancient Greece. Prominent poets, physicians and others whose names are now lost were worshiped as heroes.
Heroes: Mortals and Myths in Ancient Greece will be accompanied by an adult gallery guide and an MP3 iPod audio tour available to rent at Visitor Services or download at no charge from the Frist Center Web site, www.fristcenter.org. The exhibition is also accompanied by a catalog featuring essays by leading scholars in the field. The book draws on recent archaeological, literary and art historical research to explore such issues as gender, cult and iconography, as well as overlooked aspects of familiar and unfamiliar heroes.
The Visitor Experience
At the beginning of the exhibition, computers will be set up and visitors will be able to take a personality quiz to discover which hero or monster they are most like. Icons on labels will help visitors follow their hero throughout the exhibition.
After an examination of the Greek concept of a hero, visitors can then reflect on who we make heroes and how we define heroism within the context of our own society. In the galleries, there will be several areas where visitors can make a personal connection to the exhibition by responding to questions. In the hero worship section, visitors will be asked what they would ask of their hero. Then, at the end of the exhibition, visitors can write who their modern day heroes are.
