The Titan Process® causes specific effects in a reservoir to increase the efficiency and performance of the waterflood to move oil towards the producing wells. It is a dynamic technology that solves many reservoir management problems such as:
Poor injection efficiency
Premature breakthrough
Poor injection profiles (channels, fractures and thief zones)
Poor sweep efficiency
Poor pattern recovery
Waterflood recovery performance depends on many technical factors. The Titan Process has a positive affect on some of the more important elements that aid in well and reservoir performance. Important elements to a successful waterflood, such as areal (outward) sweep efficiency, vertical sweep efficiency and displacement sweep efficiency all can be improved by the application of the Titan Process.
The Titan Process supplies nutrients to specific colonies of microbes within the biomass of the reservoir. The microbes' skin surface characteristics are changed by the nutrient protocol of the Titan Process. This process, when applied through an existing waterflood project, will re-profile the reservoir. Three distinct changes take place that enhance areal and vertical sweep efficiency and displacement efficiency:
Oil droplets are dislodged from pore spaces;
Oil droplets uniquely become smaller;
A natural emulsion blocks thief zones.
The Titan Process mobilizes incremental and "unre-coverable" oil. The purpose is not to just increase short term production rates but to greatly increase the long term efficiency of the field. The Titan Process helps eliminate high water production ratios, lowering both lifting and water disposal costs, but the ultimate advantage is an increase in oil production.
Waterflood Improvements
Areal Sweep Efficiency
The area that the water will contact in the reservoir and the flow properties of the oil and water as well as pattern and pressure distribution are aided by the Titan Process. This is due to the dislodging of trapped oil droplets from within the pore spaces that in combination with some of the microbes and water creates a natural emulsion that blocks thief zones, and aids in the redistribution of the water flow and hence the flood efficiency.
Displacement Efficiency
This relates to the amount of oil which water will displace in the invaded zone. By dislodging oil droplets from the rock face within pore spaces and the subsequent distortion of the oil droplets by the microbes into smaller droplets, the tendency is for the smaller droplets to more easily overcome the capillary pressure that is trapping the oil. Also because of the energy being released by microbes and their activity, fluid motion is created within the pore matrix. The oil droplet is now surrounded by microbes. The microbes' skin, because of the Titan Process, becomes oleophilic (oil-loving) and shrinks and is now wrinkled and unsmooth, creating a dramatically increased surface area allowing for improved interfacial contact. This much larger wrinkled surface allows for less fluid force or pressure to be needed to move the oil droplet. An example would be a very smooth-surfaced round rock on the bottom of a stream. It would be slowly pushed downstream, but a similar rock with a very rough surface would be pushed more easily by the increased friction of the water flow against its surface. Smaller oil droplets surrounded by microbes can now flow more easily through the pore spaces and pore throats of the strata towards the well bore, thus the displacement sweep efficiency is increased.
Vertical Sweep Efficiency
The percent of a formation on a vertical plane that water will contact depends primarily on the degree of reservoir stratification. Composition, porosity and permeability of the strata will all effect vertical sweep efficiency. The important factor is that major problems can be caused by the injection water seeking zones of higher permeability.
Thin, high permeability channels in stratified reservoirs can prevent efficient flooding of other zones. This results in lower oil production and increased water production. The natural emulsions produced by the Titan Process reduce high water injection concentrations within these small zones or intervals (thief zones). This is caused by the combination of the energized microbes, oil and water joining to form a viscous emulsion, allowing for new flood direction and sweep efficiency.
The Titan Process can significantly improve the management of waterflood operations by allowing for increased multi-well pattern communication from injection to producing wells. Injection efficiency is greatly enhanced by the microbial actions. Thin, high permeability channels in stratified reservoirs also are less likely to effect flooding efficiencies as they will be subject to the natural emulsion tendencies created by the Titan Process.
By increasing the fluid penetration and vertical and areal sweep efficiency, the Titan Process allows greater access to the remaining oil-in-place. An important action of the microbes is that by surrounding the oil droplet they reduce the tension (interfacial tension) of oil droplets to the rock face, thereby allowing for the oil droplet to be easily dislodged allowing for increased recovery.
Water being pushed through the reservoir relies on its force of movement from afar (the injection well pressure). Microbes in contact with this water volume have their own propulsion system (a small flagella) that can allow them to also move into adjacent areas where immobile water is present. Thus they can migrate where water "flow" is not present. As injection water is eventually diverted into these "no flow" or unswept areas of the reservoir due to the blocking of thief zones, water flow into these new areas will increase. This enables the recovery of newly contacted oil as well as newly dislodged oil droplets from these pore spaces, since the microbes to some extent will have already been active in this area through their migration under their own power. The gentle emulsions blocking the thief zones are not permanent and cannot damage the reservoir because the microbes are smaller in size than normal, and the new nature of their skin (oily) keeps them apart. Also, if the nutrient source is stopped, the reservoir will return to its original state.
The Bottom Line
Injection and sweep efficiencies are greatly improved by the Titan Process, allowing for waterflood performance to be increased and operating costs to decrease. Also, more wells can become profitable and remain on stream. The Titan Process is environmentally friendly as there is no change in the chemical or physical properties of the reservoir fluids. No harsh chemicals are used in the Titan Process, and H2S levels usually decrease as the friendly Titan microbes crowd out the sulfate reducing bacteria. Microbes stimulated by the Titan Process reduce the activity of sulfate reducing bacteria.

Power Laws in Economics and Finance
Xavier Gabaix
Harvard University - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI); New York University - Stern School of Business
September 2008
NBER Working Paper No. w14299
A power law is the form taken by a large number of surprising empirical regularities in economics and finance. This article surveys well-documented empirical power laws concerning income and wealth, the size of cities and firms, stock market returns, trading volume, international trade, and executive pay. It reviews detail-independent theoretical motivations that make sharp predictions concerning the existence and coefficients of power laws, without requiring delicate tuning of model parameters. These theoretical mechanisms include random growth, optimization, and the economics of superstars coupled with extreme value theory. Some of the empirical regularities currently lack an appropriate explanation. This article highlights these open areas for future research.

We decided we wanted a JRT. On my birthday there was an add in the paper for some puppies for sale. We went to look, and Odie stole my heart!
Hi My Sweet Odie!
Roxie here again, I forgot to say, thanks for my new title!!! Queen Roxie!!! Very Cool thank you very much! Our Moms/or Dads are very thoughtful and love us so much that they do this crazy fun Dog Channel stuff!!! In addition to everything else they do for the wonderful dogs that we are!!!! Dogs rule and cats are cool too! Also, I forgot to visit Olivia and Bully! I gave Livi and Bully votes today! Also, my hometown friend NeNe - a black Labrador Retriever has joined DC! He is a friend- so don't worry Odie! Anyway, I was wondering if you could stop by to welcome him to DC and we will find NeNe a nice DC girlfriend!!! He has 2 other dogs at his house, BooBoo and Puppy but they are not on DC yet. Anyway, I'm sure we can find NeNe a nice Labrador DC Girlfriend!!! Love Ya, Your Queen Roxie
Come visit me, ROXIE: REST IN PEACE BELOVED ANGEL ZEUS & ANGEL SHOTGUN & ANGEL CHIP & ANGEL GINGER
Hi My Sweet Odums!!!!
Roxie here to give you a love bark and a special vote from me to you!! Thank you for the vote last night! Sorry Mom was busy yesterday and had to bring brother Russell back to Rutgers/Army ROTC Fraternity House! That's what Mom calls it! His truck is broken so we take the Rav 4! I did not go, stayed home with Dad! Hope you had a good day yesterday! Yes, I get to sleep in Mom and Dad's bed sometimes, usually when Dad is on the night shift! HeHe!!! I am also super afraid of thunder and lightening storms! Are you, Odie? I go downstairs and hide under the couch until it stops! The cats have cool names! I hope they are nice to you!!! They better be or else!!HeHE!! Love Ya, Your Roxie Girl!
Good Morning My Sweet Odie!
I gave you a vote earlier today, but forgot to ask how many cats live with you? I kind of like some cats, one in Dumont named Malley, she is a calico-kind of like you and me! I look for Malley when Mom takes me for a walk by the park, she is shy but friendly. But Grandmom's cat Suzie still doesn't like me, I try but there's no hope. I did chase Suzie around Grandmom's living room once just for fun-I wanted to play! Have a fun day, I will be there in spirit to play with you and chase critters!
Love Ya, Your Roxie Girl
Hi My Sweetums Odie!!!
I love your new pics! Pool Surfer Odie!!! Dad wanted a quiet Father's Day, so it was. I did have a burger but no corn on the cob or salad! Is your pool the above ground type or built in, sorry I forgot. I will ask to have a doggie raft too! That looks like fun!! I don't like to get wet either! Oh, Mom's name is Sharon and Dad's name is Matthew and brother Russell will be 22 on Thursday! Love from Your Roxie Girl!
Here's a vote! Hmm, I'm not very good at Tug of War. I always let go! Ha ha! Happy Father's Day to you too! I just had a nice game of fetch, and am now taking a rest by my Papa's feet. Bark back soon!
Come visit me, Rosco & Cricket
Hi My Sweetness Odie,
Do not fear Roxie is back again today! Yes, I am a licker, if my humans let me lick them! Mom lets me give her kisses, but Dad and my human brother Russ prefer that I don't lick on the face! Grandmom lets me give her kisses too! Hope you have a fun day and that the big dogs don't bother you too much! You can tell the big dogs to behave and then find a quiet place to relax.
Grandmom has a cat named Suzie, but Suzie is NOT FRIENDLY! Are there any cats by you?
Ginger was happy that we are all close friends! She and Bully and You and Me! I wish I was there with you today Odie, we can boss the big dogs around together! Then we can beg for burgers!! Luv Ya, Roxie the Bunnie Hunter!
PS: I found your Father's Day photo with your Dad, and You and Bully, was Livi hiding somewhere? What's your Dad's name? are we allowed to ask? What a nice photo!!!
Hi My Sweet Odie!
I am here to give you a vote and a loving bark for today! Hope you had a fun day yesterday! Did Mom and Dad BBQ? It was partly cloudy/rainy again in NJ! More of the same today! Today is Father's Day, we must honor our pack leader Dads!Today and everyday. Same goes for Mom on Mother's Day! Hope you have a relaxing day, I did some chipmunk hunting under the pool deck after my walk, came close but the critter just won't let me get him! My tail was twitching, so Mom knows I am really getting close!
Good to hear that Bully and Ginger are very good friends/lovers like Us! Olivia needs to find a DC boyfriend, unless she has one already, do you know? I'm sure she will find a DC guy soon! She is a pretty little JRT! Have a great day and give your Dad lots of kisses for Dad's Day! Luv Ya, Your Roxie Girl
Here's a vote! I LOVE to play fetch and swim! Especially at the same time! And it's easy cause we have our own pool built in the ground! Thanks, yup, I'm the king of this house! Bark back soon!
Hi My Sweet Odie,
Roxie here! Thanx for the long bark! I gave you a vote from me to you! Yes, we JRT'S can really bark, we are mighty little dogs. I'm happy that you are King of your Castle! Have a great day, keep cool! So that's why Livi doesn't write much! Bully and Ginger are a couple, that's great. Ginger is my Senior/Puppy Buddy Connection, by the way. I see that Rosco has stopped by, as you know, Rosco was the first to visit me on DC, and again don't worry Sable is his girl!! But I wanted You and Rosco to be DC Friends too! Also, Daisy from Chicago! Mom was tired last night, so we just watched the Dog Whisperer-Cesar Millan. We like him! I like to bark at the dogs on TV! Oh, Odie you must ask to have a fuzzy squirrel toy, mine is great it has 2 squeakers in it-one in the tail and one in the body! Awesome toy! Oh, I forgot to mention that our town park is not really dog friendly, it is not really a dog park but a people park. We can meet on the streets surrounding the park or Mom has to drive to a park
that we can go in and play! Better than nothing I guess! Have a great day and Keep Cool! Luv Ya, Your Roxie Girl
Hi My Sweet Odie!!
Roxie here! I just left you a vote for today, 6/19! The sun is finally out in Dumont, NJ!! I had a good walk this morning. Dixie the Siberian Husky was out and Buddy the Mini Poodle was out for a walk too! Also did some "hunting" out by the pool-where the chipmunks hang out!! Then I had some Cesar Dog food! Wow, my bark is coming back, I barked so much at the Pet Lodge that I lost my bark! I am quite a barker for a little girl! Who barks more You, Olivia or Bully? Just curious!
Odie, I hope you don't mind that I sent some DC members to visit you: Rosco from Oceanside,CA-he is a Labrador Ret. very friendly! As is Daisy-Amer. Pit Bull from Chicago, IL and a Fang and his friends. I'm sure you will get more votes too! They are all good friends that have been visiting me! Of course, Odie you are my Sweetie!!! But having others visit You, Olivia and Bully will be fun too! I know I should have asked first, but it's a friendly gesture from me to You, Olivia and Bully! Love Ya, Roxie

The packaging should have included a magnifying glass to be able to read the small print documentation that came with the unit. Not using it with a phone so some of the features haven't been tested, but it is comfortable and so far seems to work with Dragon Naturally Speaking, which was my primary goal.

BUCKS COUNTY, Pennsylvania -- Polls show Republicans are on track to win the 39 seats they need to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives. One of those seats may be in Bucks County, Pa., where two familiar foes are facing off again.
Many residents claim that visiting Bucks County is like stepping back in time. History lives here. In fact, many tourists come to the Philadelphia suburb for that "once upon a time" experience.
CBN News Sr. Editor John Waage discussed key races in the Senate for Republicans and Democrats and more on the Oct. 18 edition of the 700 Club.
Click play to watch the interview.
On Monday, however, the feeling in the air was far from happily ever after. Campaign signs and opposing television commercials blanketed the Bellwether region.
Still, two term Rep. Patrick Murphy (D) hopes that sentiment doesn't kick him out of the District 8 seat.
Registered Democrats slightly outnumber Bucks County Republicans and there are thousands of independent voters.
"We need to just start doing things right, and it needs to be for the nation," said resident Mita Heble. "Everybody needs to start doing the right thing, not just one party or the other.
Polls show independents giving an edge to Republican challenger Mike Fitzpatrick, who was defeated by Murphy in 2006 with less than 1,500 votes.
"Three years ago, I would not have thought I would be running for office. But three years ago, the national debt was $8 trillion, today it's $14 trillion," Fitzpatrick explained.
The father of six said his children's future, high unemployment and health care are the driving force behind his campaign.
At the age of 44, he watched the health care reform debate from a hospital bed as he battled colon cancer.
"I am the beneficiary of a miraculous recovery in the greatest health care system that ever existed," Fitzpatrick said. "So I am inspired to go to Washington to fight to protect that system and make it better."
Rep. Patrick Murphy declined CBN News' request for an interview.
"Voters in Bucks County have a clear choice when it comes to the November election," a statement released by Murphy's office read. "And a vote for Mike Fitzpatrick is a vote for the failed Bush policies, while a vote for Rep. Murphy is a vote for progress and a vote to keep jobs in America."
Like other Democrats in congressional races across the country, Murphy attacks his Republican challenger with television commercials about outsourcing American jobs.
"Well, he served longer with Bush than I did," Fitzpatrick said. "So, those policies, like the bank bail out, he supported. And the fact is the incumbent, Congressman Murphy, has done more to ship jobs overseas than probably all the previous congressmen I knew, growing up in this community."
"When he took office the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent," he added. "Since then, it's doubled. He can't explain that. He doesn't want to defend that record."
Ben Schuster is a college professor, a Pennsylvania native and life-long Democrat. He gives the voting edge to Republicans this campaign season.
"The Republicans have the better narrative," Schuster said. "They have a story that is resonating with the voters, and the Democrats have not come up with a satisfactory counter to that narrative and as a result, they're behind."
"They should stop playing in the yard and they should go back and do some work," said resident Bob Simpson.

Temple, the three-time defending Atlantic 10 Conference champion, is ranked No. 22 in the nation in the first Associated Press poll of the season.
The Owls, who were at No. 22 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll released last week, are in the Top 25 to open the season for the first time since 2001-02.
They were ranked 12th in the final AP poll last season after going 29-6. Temple returns three starters from that team, including senior forward Lavoy Allen a first-team All-A-10 performer; junior guard Juan Fernandez, the A-10 Tournament's Most Outstanding Player last year; and junior forward Micheal Eric. Junior Ramone Moore, the league's Sixth Man of the Year, is also back.

HOUSTON - Ray Lankford scored on Octavio Dotel's balk in the 10th inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals thwarted the Houston Astros' late rally with a 2-1 win Friday night.
A pitching duel between Houston's Roger Clemens and St. Louis' Chris Carpenter was overshadowed by the game's wacky and thrilling ending.
Dotel (0-3) walked Lankford to start the 10th, and Scott Rolen singled to send Lankford to third. With Jim Edmonds at the plate, Dotel feined a throw toward the plate and third-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ruled it was a balk, allowing Lankford to score the winning run.
Houston manager Jimy Williams came out to protest to no avail as Dotel raised both arms in confusion.
Jason Isringhausen (3-1) gave up three hits - including Lance Berkman's RBI double in the ninth inning - in two innings and got the win.
Carpenter allowed a pair of singles and held the NL's top offense scoreless for eight innings, and nearly earned his fifth straight win until the frantic finale.
Clemens went seven innings, allowing six hits and a fourth-inning homer to Rolen with six strikeouts.
Clemens remained stuck at 317 career wins, one behind Phil Niekro for 14th place in career victories after recording two no-decisions in his past two starts.
Blue Jays 5, Rangers 4: In Toronto, Carlos Delgado hit a two-run homer in a four-run first, and Ted Lilly worked six innings for just the second time this season to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to their fourth straight victory over the Texas Rangers.
Rod Barajas homered and tied a career high with four RBIs for the Rangers, who were shut out by the Chicago White Sox in their previous two games.
Barajas ended Texas' streak of 19 consecutive scoreless innings with a sacrifice fly in the second.
He hit a three-run homer off Terry Adams in the eighth, cutting Toronto's lead to 5-4.
Lilly (3-2) won for the first time in five starts, allowing one run on six hits, while striking out four and walking a season-high five.
Lilly, acquired from Oakland in the offseason, pitched a complete game on April 26 against Minnesota, but hasn't reached six innings in any other start.
Rookie Jason Frasor pitched the ninth for his third save in three chances.
Frank Menechino and Vernon Wells hit consecutive doubles in the first before Delgado homered off R.A. Dickey (4-5). Alexis Rios added an RBI single in the inning, his first RBI in the majors.
Josh Phelps gave Toronto a 5-1 lead in the third with an RBI grounder.

Literature and the Bible
Christian leaders and educators are concerned that children have no interest in the Bible and do not know its content. This presentation shows how literature can be used to lead children to the lessons and stories of the bible. Excerpts from popular children's literature titles will be used to demonstrate how lessons of the Christian faith are woven into stories and can be used as a teaching tool for faith formation. Additionally, speaker can present her book "A Parent's Guide to Harry Potter" and offer it for purchase and signing.
Who is Bennett Cerf and Why Do You Care What He Thinks
This is a talk about reading great literature for pleasure. Dr. Shaw joins the audience for a quirky romp through some great books that he loves, and some that he absolutely can't stand. The audience will leave with the feeling that reading classic novels isn't just something that English teachers do, but that classic novels belong to all of us.
Literature and Cultural Studies
What is the place of the burgeoning field of Cultural Studies in the field of literature, and how do these fields complement each other? By bridging the gap between literary study and "real life," what does Cultural Studies have to say to us about our own experiences in the world?

Pidals missing, thanks to Jun Lozada
Atty. Jose Pidal did not come home with his wife. The Inquirer reported he was in Europe with his brother, also named Jose Pidal.
Congressman Pidal told the Inquirer he and Atty. Pidal were in Switzerland for "bonding and personal reasons."
Malicious minds concluded immediately that the Pidal brothers were checking on their bonds, hopefully not notes invested in sub-prime funds.
The Pidal brothers will come home soon because Jun Lozada is not going to testify on the ZTE-NBN deal anymore.
Lozada is the reason why the Pidals stayed away. If Lozada had testified and dropped a bombshell even bigger than "BACK OFF!" and "Putanginang Abalos yan sinabi pa kay Mike na may $70 million siya ….", the Pidals would have stayed away until the whole thing blew over, no matter how long it took.
If Lozada had testified, what would the Palace have done to kill the story?
Ponzi lives!
My column in Business Mirror is about Ponzi being bailed out time and again by the US government and the US Federal Reserve.
Ponzi lives!
by Manuel Buencamino
The US Federal Reserve announced a three-quarters of a percentage point rate cut on its benchmark-interest rate.
An asset manager from a Philippine bank echoed the ecstatic reaction of the global financial markets:
"This will slow down the bear. This Fed action sends the signal that it will do all it can to help financial markets and avoid a recession. It is a good signal for markets considering an imminent US recession. The rate cut will encourage lending, lift economic activity and encourage funds to seek higher yields," she said.
The banker's remark reminded me that I first heard about an impending global financial crisis a year ago, during a disastrous round of golf with an American friend who used to work with one of the financial institutions hardest hit by the subprime catastrophe.
Hitler's spawns unmasked

Don't lose your balance
Manuel L Quezon III reminds us to keep our balance: "The substitution of "circles of influence" for "belonging to a movement" is actually healthy, I think; but only to the extent that a desire for individual independence isn't overcome by a parochial obsession with "circles of influence."
A Hospital Horror Story
We recieved this story via e-mail.
The Story of Jessie Bass
25 December 1953 – 17 November 2007
Mid morning of 16 November 2007, complaining of stomach pains, Jesus (Jessie) V. Bass (53) walked into the St. Luke's Medical Center so he can get the best possible health care.
Jessie was attended to and examined by Dr. Edgardo M. Bondoc who diagnosed him for acute appendicitis. Nonetheless, Dr.Bondoc did not refer Jessie, nor called the attention of any surgeon. In fact, Dr. Bondoc advised Jessie to go home and be an out-patient.
"Don't mess with my innuendos," said Rikki
Palace factotum Ricardo Saludo issued a statement warning the public to "Beware of false headlines"
He said the Inquirer "wrongly attributed" to him a statement in a story headlined, "Palace: Media conducting trial by publicity against PNP"

The X factor
I was getting my hair trimmed this afternoon when I overheard a serious three way conversation…
"I wanted to become a model but I didn't go for it because I felt I was too short," said one.
"You know you don't have to be beautiful, tall, and slim to become a model," said the other.
"Oo nga," interjected the manicurista, "basta you have the "x" factor, you can become a model."
"I have a customer who runs an agency and he says that's what he looks for," she added.
I've been thinking about it all day, this "x" factor thing. It used to be called "IT". But what the hell is "X" factor or "IT" that, despite its enormous power and everyone's seeming ability to recognize or sense when it's there, it remains undefined?
Did I miss the swimsuit competition?
Today is the first time I watched any of those US presidential primary debates. I saw Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. The debate was sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus. Okay naman, the candidates more or less talked about their plans giving viewers an insight on the way they think, how they approach problems.
But here's the thing. Wolf Blitzer of CNN moderated it. Now I don't know about you but I think Blitzer is not only an idiot but he is also typical of those journalists who gave a free pass to Bush crying "wolf!" over Saddam and Iraq. Maybe that's because he is an idiot rather than a paid hack like Bill O'Riley or Chris Matthews and those folks at Fox News and the major networks.
Anyway, Wolf, as moderator, had the last question of the day. To put his question in the proper context, the debate was held at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Wolf began,
"We are completely out of time, but we have time for one final question that I'd like to ask all three of you to respond and, if possible, within one minute or less, and it's an important question on this important day…"
One minute or less, how important could it have been, Wolf?
To continue, Wolf asked his important question –
"…And, Senator Edwards, let me start with you. If Dr. Martin Luther King were alive today, unfortunately, he's not, but if he were alive today, why do you think he would or why should he endorse you?"
What the fuck is that?
Did I tune in late and miss the swimsuit competition?
God bless America.

To go
Boon creates a wide range of innovative products to make modern parenting easier. Including, the Snack Ball snack container – which may not be high on the list of parenting concerns (I doubt parents are losing sleep over whether or not they have spherical snackware), but it sure is cute nonetheless and fun for adults (who aren't parents) too!
lunchskins reusable bags replace disposable plastic ones piling up in a landfill. They are better for the environment, lighter on your wallet and, if nothing else, so colorful and stylish! And, they are dishwasher safe – which means, it would be just as easy to clean a lunchskins bag as it would be to throw out a dirty plastic bag and pull out a new one.
A reusable water bottle (like this Wottle Bottle designed by Orla Kiely for Brita) makes drinking water fun and fashionable. Drinking water is good for you, drinking water out of a wottle (or reusable bottle) is good for the environment. What could make it better? A wedge of orange and a slice of cucumber!

Last week, the opinion here was that the Giants were going Back to Reality vs the Colts. Indeed, the "Reality" was even worse.
All I am is the messenger. You can shoot the messenger, but that is not going to stop last Sunday's message, that this team has major structural issues.
The Good
Bradshaw, Manningham, the almost back Phillips and Nicks (td #4) are good players who can shine. Dodge had an all pro night. He did an excellent job, which was mostly overlooked because of the rout. He had a 65 yard punt and one that dropped dead on the 2. I hope he can do it more consistently as the season continues. Eli had a few moments. They have to use the wide outs a lot. That would help the running game and keep the Tampa Two in the closet. If Boss can come back and stay healthy that would be a big plus. Maybe Andrews can help the OL.
The Bad
I do not expect things to change. Jacobs is now a liability on and off the field. Boley made 15 tackles but most were after a pass play he couldn't cover. Where was Bulluck? 4-1-6 is a statement! Quite a knock on the backers, huh?
This game was/is another fatal flaw in the makeup of Coughlin. As the game plan points out, the coach has no imagination. He is stuck in a philosophy that doesn't work. Fewell seems to be energized but he too is stuck in neutral. The game has morphed dramatically over the years and you will note that the guys who are unique operate outside the box. They draw up new game plans for each opponent and these newer minds are the ones who make a difference. Gilbride, Coughlin and Fewell are playing yesterday's game.
The Colts are built around Peyton and because they play the Tampa 2 they s*ck on defense. They have to score 35 points in most games to win. They give up a lot of points and even though they won their division last year they had to come from way behind a number of times.
The Texans showed you how to stop Peyton. You put a lot of pressure on him and knock him around, as the Colts are one-dimensional. Freeney and Mathis are very mobile DE's. Freeney will beat you himself when he has the luxury of going one on one with a plodding LT. The Giants needed to double him and they never did. Diehl is not at fault. He is slow and cannot handle a speed rusher on his own. I question Gibride (what else is new) for not giving Diehl help. Where were the Giants RBs (Jacobs, Hedgecock, Bradshaw) to slow these guys down? Freeney has done this for years and the smart teams double him and render him harmless. Freeney was the Colt defense. He sacked Eli and was continually pressuring Eli.
Bradshaw is a very good back and with a competent line who knows how good he can be? When you have a talent like that you GET his hands on the ball. They could swing pass to him, slant him, pitch to him and they do almost none of the above. One way to take away the aggressiveness of a Freeney or Mathis is to screen it to Bradshaw enough so that those speedrushers stop pinning their ears back. Once again, where is Gilbride to slow them down with this plan/adjustment?
The Colts took advantage of our weakness on the OL and LB.
Our offense has NOT established a running game, especially with Jacobs having fallen so far.
Our opponents know exactly what we are going to do. Carolina is so bad that it didn't matter. We beat them because we negated their strength. They couldn't run it, so they became one dimensional.
The 4-1-6 dime defense that Fewell played on 1st and 2nd down is a joke and should be used very sparingly as a surprise. When it is a surprise you get a good shot at an interception. It only should be used on a must pass situation and only a few times a game. The Giants used it as their primary defense, effectively committing suicide.
It's the same old unpreparedness and lack of adjusting that makes it easy for a good team with coaches that look at film to exploit the weakness of the opponent.
Think Arizona last year. They came into our house, stacked the middle and incredibly we didn't have a counter. Just a couple of tweaks and we were helpless. We should have and would have won that game and San Diego to name two with a competent Coach/s making the adjustments.
The fact that Gilbride/Coughlin left a beaten up Eli in the game to the end and played a limping Bradshaw with the game over is a firing offense.
Not a pretty picture. I said the team would get devoured this year and they would finish up 7-9 or 8-8. They got devoured last weekend and will scrape up enough wins vs a weak NFL to look presentable, but when they play the better teams with coaches that have game plans and make adjustments, the weaknesses get exposed and we have little chance to be competitive. I never promised you a rose garden. The guys on the other sites were bunge jumping but Glenn was calm on Monday because he was expecting this and predicted 5-11, worse than me. I promise to report any signs of change that should make us more optimistic. Until further notice, until the Giants coaches start game planning better and making adjustments, we'll simply be a mediocre football team.

We're Going to Hollywood!Dawn Meehan
My parents got me and my kids three-day passes to Disney World for Christmas which is awesome because, as it turns out "the happiest place on earth" is also one of "the most expensive places on earth". Yesterday, I took my kids to Hollywood Studios. We had a ton of fun and I learned a few things about my family as well, so really it was an educational trip.
1. I learned that I have absolutely no patience or tolerance for people who drift along in their own little world, completely oblivious to everyone else on the planet. Why must people suddenly stop in the middle of a crowded sidewalk to look at a map? Is it so difficult to consider the 80,000 thousand people behind them and walk 2 steps over to the side, out of the way?
2. I have absolutely no tolerance for people who try to spoon me while standing in line. Especially because not one of them was a cute, single man! Do these people have no concept of personal space? These are the same people who stand there watching their children smash into my butt repeatedly without intervening. By the end of the day, I resorted to turning around and coughing until it sounded like my lung would fall out, then stammering an apology and mumbling something about tuberculosis.
3. I wish I had Austin's quick wit. As we walked toward a ride, a Disney cast member looked at Brooklyn and said, "Hello, Princess." Without missing a beat, Austin replied, "Hi!" in his best princess voice'.
4. I may have a slight problem with competition. After going on Midway Mania (a ride where you wear 3D glasses and shoot at arcade style targets to accumulate points), I slid out of the car and immediately asked my kids their scores. Upon hearing the numbers (and realizing I'd beaten them) I whipped my 3D glasses down as if I was spiking a football in the end zone, jumped up, did a little dance and cheered, "I beat you! Yes! Ha! In your face!" My kids (and a few hundred spectators) looked at me like the parenting failure I am.
5. My kids have amazing ingenuity. Because Brooklyn was too little to go on Rock'N'Roller Coaster, we took turns watching her while we used ride swap tickets. When I got off the ride and walked over to where Austin was watching Brooklyn, I saw that he had created a makeshift Tic-Tac-Toe game using small leaves for the Xs and bits of tree bark for the Os. The grid was constructed of small palm fronds. What a great idea to keep her occupied and it beats the heck out of the game Punch me in the arm until I can no longer take the pain'. (I said they had amazing ingenuity; not that their ideas are always great.)
6. As self-reliant as I am, it's sometimes hard to do everything myself. I hate to admit this one. Hate it. I'm used to taking care of everyone and everything and it bothers me to no end when I drop a ball. I give the advice to lighten up and give yourselves a break. I tell other parents not to worry over every little mistake. It's not a big deal. And I wholeheartedly believe this wisdom I'm spouting. But I have a hard time accepting my own advice. I remembered my camera. I even remembered to charge the battery and make sure the memory card was installed. I remembered to go to the bank and pull out some cash for food. I remembered to go to the grocery store and get some granola bars and fruit snacks to have on hand in case the little kids got hungry instead of spending money on snacks in the park. I remembered to pack water bottles. I remembered to give Clay his penicillin before we left. But I forgot the tickets. When we were only fifteen minutes away from the park, we had to turn around and go home for them. I beat myself up for hours about this (and it was only partly due to the fact that Savannah was driving on the tollway and now I'd have to white-knuckle it even longer.)
7. I should never ask Austin and Savannah to hold my camera for me. Last night, after getting home, showering the germs of a million people off me, and getting my kids to bed, I sat down and looked at the pictures I'd taken throughout the day. There were about thirty close-ups of random people on my memory card. If you happened to be at Hollywood Studios yesterday, there's a good chance I have a picture of you on my camera (especially if you were dressed oddly or had a goofy expression on your face or were picking your nose).

Twice as Easy to Catch-Alaska's Wood FrogSeptember 14, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Windward Campus, Hale 'Imiloa 111
A Community Forum in Chemistry presentation with Dr. Mari Reeves. The wood frog can be found throughout Alaska, and is the only frog to survive north of the Arctic Circle. Its claim to fame is the amazing ability to freeze solid in the winter, then thaw to life in the spring. In this forum, Dr. Mari Reeves will talk about the prevalence, multiple stressors, including chemical toxicants that cause the abnormalities in these mysterious creatures.
As a biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska, Mari Reeves studies the effects of pollution on wildlife. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from UC Berkeley, a Master's of Science in Natural Resources from Cornell, and more recently a PhD in Ecology from the University of California at Davis. When not capturing small creatures or swatting the state's famously voracious mosquitoes, Mari likes to hang out with her family, and ski, run, bike, and fish in her home of Kodiak, AK.
Coordinated by Leticia U. Colmenares Ph.D. Associate Professor in Chemistry - 236-9120.

Memory Bead Pet Memorial Suncatcher
SKU: jwl_hs_snctr_8
Capture the beauty and light your pet brought into your life with a dazzling memorial bead suncatcher. These unique and handmade beaded pieces are a cheerful way to cherish your dear pet's memory.
The memory bead is created by using a small amount of your pet's cremains. The cremains you send in are infused into the molten glass of your bead. Then the glass is wound and shaped by hand to create a memorial bead as unique as your loved one. The artist will then choose a variety of complementary colored beads and crystals to string onto your suncatcher. The finishing piece is the suncatching bead itself, a large Swarovski crystal.
Once you place an order, the bead artist will send you a prepaid shipping package with easy to follow shipping procedures included. A cremains container and disposable spoon will be sent to you. Use the spoon to scoop about 1/2 teaspoon of your cremains into the provided container. Then, take your package and the enclosed USPS Registered Mail form to a convenient US Post Office near you. A strictly followed tracking record will ensure that your cremains are delivered safely from your hands to ours.
Once your bead is complete, it will be shipped to you again by USPS Registered Mail. An email from USPS will inform you when to expect your package so that you will be available to sign for it. All unused cremains will be returned to you with your bead. During checkout, please choose the flat rate option of $20 to pre-pay for all Registered Mail shipments.
The suncatcher comes in three different lengths (see below). Your memory bead will be between 1/2" and 1" in size depending on the style you choose. Your suncatcher can be customized further.

My name is Aly. I just signed up here today because even though I am young and probably naive, I want a baby as a teenager. I am not going to go just get pregnant though. I am looking for reasons basically to disuade me from this wierd dream. I know that baby-sitting is not like being a mother, but I have spent a few days caring for a newborn infant while his parents were on their honeymoon. I'm very mature for my age and in the future, when I turn 15, I am going to be working at a daycare. I am not planning on having my baby now, of course. I'm not insane, but I was thinking maybe when I was 17 and in my senior year, of which I will only have to spend half a day at school, or even when I am 18 and in college. Studying and school would not be a problem, I'm very bright and pick things up quickly. I don't know where this deep desire for a baby comes from. I'm not doing it for attention (No way!) and I am not doing it to make myself feel stronger or wanted, I just have a deep burning wish for a baby, and to have it as a teen. My family is not the richest, but we basically would be able to afford a new baby, especially now that my father (my parents are divorced) is moving to be a cop in Arizona and is basically going to double his pay. And I am covered by the insurance for a delivery. I haven't told anyone about this wish. Part of me is hoping it will just go away while the other part is screaming for it to come true. Is it normal for teens to have this wish? And are there any teens out there that might be able to tell me about being a teenage mother still in highschool or college? Thanks for the help..

Despite expert wound care and assiduous management with traditional therapy, poor cosmetic outcomes, restricted motion, and symptoms such as pain and itch are a pervasive problem of disfiguring and debilitating scars. The advent of ablative fractional photothermolysis within the past decade and its application to the treatment of traumatic scars represents a breakthrough in the restoration of function and cosmetic appearance for injured patients, but the procedure is not widely used.
To provide a synthesis of our current clinical experience and available literature regarding the laser treatment of traumatic scars with an emphasis on fractional resurfacing.
Evidence Review
Eight independent, self-selected academic and military dermatology and plastic surgery physicians with extensive experience in the use of lasers for scar treatment assembled for a 2-day ad hoc meeting on January 19 and 20, 2012. Consensus was based largely on expert opinion, but relevant literature was cited where it exists.
After consensus was appraised, we drafted the manuscript in sections during the course of several months. The draft was then circulated among all panel members for final review and comment. Our consensus is that laser treatment, particularly ablative fractional resurfacing, deserves a prominent role in future scar treatment paradigms, with the possible inclusion of early intervention for contracture avoidance and assistance with wound healing.
Conclusions and Relevance
Laser scar therapy, particularly fractional ablative laser resurfacing, represents a promising and vastly underused tool in the multidisciplinary treatment of traumatic scars. Changes to existing scar treatment paradigms should include extensive integration of fractional resurfacing and other combination therapies guided by future research.
Fractional laser treatment may be combined with vascular laser treatment in alternating or combined sessions. AFL indicates ablative fractionated laser; KTP, potassium titanyl phosphate; NAFL, nonablative fractionated laser; PDL, pulsed-dye laser.
A, Split-thickness skin graft on the left arm at presentation (Supplement [eAppendix 4]). Six months after injury, erythema, cobblestone texture, and decreased range of motion at the wrist associated with the graft are evident. B, Split-thickness graft after ablative fractional laser (AFL) treatment in the left arm 7 months after starting a series of 4 fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatments. Interval improvements in erythema and texture are evident. C, Range of motion in the left wrist at presentation is decreased at maximum wrist extension. D, Seven months after initiating a series of 4 AFL CO2 laser treatments, significantly increased range of motion at maximum wrist extension is evident.
A, Hypertrophic scar at initial presentation (Supplement [eAppendix 4]). An erythematous, hypertrophic burn scar is evident 6 months after injury. B, Hypertrophic scar after 2 combination pulsed-dye and fractional carbon dioxide laser treatments, 7 months after her initial treatment. A significant interval improvement of hypertrophy, erythema, dyschromia, texture, and range of motion is evident.

Less lean meats, more ground beef, ground pork (both cheap fatty meats), if you must eat the chicken breasts and ground turkey, cook in coconut oil or butter (and don't be shy). If you want to, try chicken thighs with the skin STILL ON and eat that stuff. Yum.
Forget the egg whites, eat the whole damn egg. Lipid hypothesis is bogus.
I recommend more variety in veggie intake because that means you'll get a wider variety of nutritients.
Good on you for eating the salmon, also experiment with other fatty fishes and try to prefer wild caught fish over farmed varieties.
Just my thoughts. Some changes should be made for sure, but you are on the right track!

I use this every day in the morning to shave, and it serves that purpose well. However, at night I prefer to use the cetaphil liquid cleanser, which I simply find to be less drying (and thus less irritating).
I've been using this bar for over a year in conjunction with the regimen. overall it has certainly worked well, although I have still never been 100% clear. it does what Ken suggests a cleanser should, which is to clean your skin without having any anti-acne properties of its own.
because this cleanser is very mild and easy to use, I never really thought that much about it until I found out it was tested on animals. I plan on writing to Cetaphil to let them know how disappointed I am by this, and that they have lost my business until they reverse their practices. as much as I want clear skin I'm not okay with harming and killing animals to get it.
although I'm frustrated that I need to search for something new, this cleanser was not anything super special to being with, so perhaps my search will lead me to something better! off to scour this website for the next thing ...
Give it a try if you don't have sensitive skin.
I use to use proactiv for years. I became really sick of the amount of time it took, and i was convinced that it was giving me more acne. This bar has worked pretty well. Hasnt completely cleared everything up, still a pimple or two. My favorite part is the ease of using it, probably because I came from the 10 min long proactiv nightmare.
My skin has become quite dry and sensitive since using Spironolactone; I had to ditch the acne washes and find something specifically for dry skin; this does the trick! Cleasnes without overdrying. It's the perfect solution.
i love it. it has a great lather that feels so soft on my skin. instead of redness all over i just see freckles and skin.
Perfect for cleansing your face. Use it morning and night. My dermatologist also says it's probably the best facial cleanser to use.
DO NOT use this for your FACE. It will give you chronic dry, peeling skin. My face looks horrible after using this. I don't think this is meant for your face, mainly for your body. It's just too harsh and drying. Use, the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser instead. It's very gentle.
This is the best cleanser I've found yet. I recently had a very bad reaction to my regular regimin (don't know the trigger) but this has soothed my skin and kept it very clean and fresh-feeling. I bought it because my skin got very sensitive and dry, and the dryness is actually improving and my skin rarely flares up like it did before.
I have used this face soap for years and love it.. I just recently figured out how well it lathers. rub the bar in your hand for a while and then really rub your hands together and feel the lather.. the lather is so soft and seems to clean my skin a bit better. it cleans my makeup off well, doesn't make my skin feel dry like most other things i've tried, makes my skin pretty soft... overall, great soap.

The 2012 season will forever be remembered as the year of the rookie quarterback, as a trio of rookies led their respective teams into the postseason: Andrew Luck with the Indianapolis Colts, Robert Griffin III with the Washington Redskins and Russell Wilson with the Seattle Seahawks.
Each became the talk of the league at one point or another: Luck for his seven fourth-quarter comeback victories, Griffin for his incredible highlight-reel combination of passing and running and Wilson for his late-game and late-season brilliance.
Oh, and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took over for the veteran Alex Smith in the middle of the season, leading the 49ers to within three points of a Super Bowl title. Kaepernick was technically a second-year player but he's had even less playing time than the three rookies.
But those four weren't the only quarterbacks filling the stat sheets and setting records. They were just the most talked-about.
Overall, the 2012 year was a wild one for quarterbacks.
Peyton Manning rebounded from four neck surgeries to come within a few votes of collecting his fifth Most Valuable Player award. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees turned in their usual dominant seasons but failed to add another Super Bowl title to their already-impressive resumes. Matt Ryan enjoyed a breakout season, as well as his first playoff victory.
And, of course, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco became the surprising Super Bowl champion after a historic postseason run that saw him throw 11 touchdowns against zero interceptions, equaling Joe Montana's brilliance from 1989. The NFC's equivalent of Eli Manning, Flacco will undoubtedly receive one of the largest contracts in NFL history this offseason.
The following 10 slides will highlight the most shocking, surprising and even ridiculous stats by quarterbacks this season, beginning in reverse order.

TV Ratings: 'Modern Family' is strong, but World Series Game 1 leads FOX on Wednesday
'Nashville' doesn't drop, while 'Arrow' slips a little
"Modern Family" remained Wednesday's top show in most key measures, but FOX still claimed victory for the night thanks to World Series Game 1 between the Giant and Tigers.
Although it failed to win the night, ABC got some reassuring news in the form of a hold for the third week of "Nashville," which had plummeted in its previous airing.
Among other new shows, "The Neighbors" and "Chicago Fire" both posted week-to-week growth, while The CW's "Arrow" was down a little in the key demo, but held most of its overall audience.
On to the numbers...
Among adults 18-49, FOX averaged a 3.3 rating for Wednesday night, beating ABC and CBS' 2.7 rating in the key demographic. There was a big drop to NBC's 1.6 rating and to The CW's 0.9 rating in the key demo.
Overall, FOX averaged an estimated 11.77 million viewers and a 7.3 rating/11 share for the night, topping CBS' 10.495 million viewers and 6.8/10. ABC was third with a 5.2/8 and 8.09 million viewers, well ahead of NBC's 5.6 million viewers and 3.8/6. The CW averaged a 1.8/3 and 2.68 million viewers for Wednesday prime.
8 p.m. - FOX's baseball coverage started the night in first with 12.37 million viewers and a 3.4 rating among adults 18-49. The baseball had no impact on CBS' "Survivor: Philippines," which averaged 10.14 million viewers and a 2.8 key demo rating in second. ABC was third with "The Middle" (8.61 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo rating) and "The Neighbors" (6.87 million and a 2.0 key demo). NBC's already cancelled "Animal Practice" (3.8 million and a 1.2 key demo) and not cancelled "Guys with Kids" (3.83 million and a 1.3 key demo rating) followed. On The CW, "Arrow" averaged 3.47 million viewers and a 1.1 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - CBS moved into first for the 9 p.m. hour with 11.505 million viewers and finished third with a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49. The Giants and Cardinals game had FOX in second overall with 11.17 million viewers, and second among adults 18-49 with a 3.1 rating. ABC won the hour in the key demo and finished third overall with "Modern Family" (12.48 million viewers and a 4.9 key demo) and "Suburgatory" (7.45 million viewers and a 2.7 key demo). NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" was fourth with 6.68 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating. On The CW, "Supernatural" dropped to just under 1.9 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - Baseball won the 10 p.m. hour, but since that's out of FOX's primetime range, we say that CBS finished first with 9.84 million viewers and a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 for "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." ABC's "Nashville" averaged 6.575 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating, losing a couple viewers, but staying steady in the demo. NBC's "Chicago Fire" averaged 6.3 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

The problems that the Miami Dolphins have are many, but the 2013 draft is just the right draft for them to fix them.
The Dolphins have nine picks in the upcoming draft, with five of those draft picks coming in the top 100. There's a lot of talent available at all of the positions at which the Dolphins need help, so there is no reason why the Fins cannot enter the 2013 season with a quality draft class.
How can Miami fill some of its holes? Let's take a look at my version of the mock draft, one in which we focus on Miami's problems and the players that can help fix them.
On a side note, I think Miami will trade one of their second- or third-round picks during the draft and could also trade back in Round 1. However, I'm tackling this mock as if the Dolphins won't make a draft-day trade.

Dear Scott: I have two pet peeves when going to a hair stylist:
1. When the stylist talks on the phone while cutting my hair.
2. Allowing other clients to walk into the cubicle to carry on a conversation with the stylist while he/she is working on my hair.
I feel that this is rude as I am paying for the time and deserve full attention.
This seems to be the norm in smaller cities, however, seldom happens in a large city as the stylists are more attentive to their clients. How should this be handled?
Answer: Im having a hard time visualizing a stylist talking on the phone while they are doing your hair. As far as I know, it takes two hands to do hair.
They must have an old fashioned land-line with a big phone that can be held between the head and shoulder. In which case, their head would be crooked and cocked to one side while performing a task that requires symmetry and where angular direction is of the utmost importance. Please tell me there isnt a cord.
If the stylist is using a blue-tooth, the one-sided conversation you are subjected to is enough to make anyone pull out their hair. So the need for services will ultimately be unnecessary.
Both of your peeves can happen no matter what the size of the city. Many salons everywhere are not set up with a front desk that prevents a client from interrupting a stylist.
In a large salon, the front desk is necessary to juggle all of the procedures to be executed by multiple staff members, as well as preventing interruptions. You most likely will make an appointment with one stylist for a cut, another one will do your color, and another one will dry your hair.
Personally, this kind of salon structure feels more like an assembly line rather than receiving personal attention. Hair cut, color, and styling the design, are a simultaneous work of art. Its a little like having three artists trying to communicate an idea for a finished painting, then all of them taking turns on it.
In a small salon, the front desk can become more of a hassle than an asset for too many reasons to list. I handle the situation of client interruptions by simply explaining that I am working on someone at the moment, but would be happy to make them an appointment.
The best advice I can offer, is to address your concerns with the person that does your hair so they realize that you are unhappy. If that doesnt work, move on. Not all hairdressers talk on the phone and chat with clients.
Remember that the finished result is what is important. If you like your hair, ultimately, this is what you are paying for.
