Chile is a long, narrow country on the South American continent that lies between the Andes Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean. Because its geographical location provides it with a natural form of pest control, access to abundant organic produce is one of the perks routinely enjoyed by those vacationing in Chile hotels. Chile also has a unique culinary tradition that will leave gastronomy aficionados longing to extend their reservations for their rooms indefinitely. Fresh seafood is abundant in restaurants throughout the country of Chile, and most establishments were practicing the farm-to-fork principles before they became part of an important culinary trend in the United States. One of the best things about the Chilean capital city of Santiago is that it doesn't take long to find a special restaurant serving locally sourced cuisine where the prices are as friendly as the people who greet you at the door with a smile.
Santiago is Chile's most traveled city, but if you're feeling adventurous and want to explore the less-populated parts of the country, cheap hotel deals in Chile exist during the off season in the coastal communities of La Serena, Antofagasta, and Arica. The southern coast of Chile is a favourite spot of birdwatchers, and it is possible to find discount tours on whale-watching voyages in the communities located next to the Pacific Ocean. A cheap Chile hotel deal can be the perfect antidote if you feel as if you have fallen into a boring rut in your life.
The mysterious Easter Island is one of the top vacation destinations of those enjoying Chile hotel packages. The San Pedro de Atacama in the northern part of the country is a well-loved area by those with an interest in Inca culture and architecture. Snow sports lovers can get good rates on internationally renowned ski resorts in various parts of the Andes Mountain Range, and wine lovers can spend every day of their Chilean sojourn happily sampling the fares of the tasting rooms of the country's wineries.
If you enjoy wine, you should check on discount wine-tasting tours that may be available to guests of certain hotels in Chile. With 14 separate wine-producing regions, Chile is the eighth largest exporter of wine in the world. If you appreciate fine wine, you'll certainly have many opportunities to indulge yourself if you book a stay near wine country. Chile hotel deals exist for people of all interests and preferences.

It's no secret that technology makes us all do silly things. Unfortunately, most of those things involve chronic and unnecessary over-sharing on social networking sites. Here are the nine status updates that will absolutely make me hide you on Facebook:
You Threw an Egg at a Chicken in Some Crazy Farm Simulator or Killed a Gangster, or Got 800% Beautiful on the "How Pretty Are You?" Quiz. Or Whatever. Is an explanation really needed for this? It's spammy, and it clutters my news feed. Hidden!
You Quote Song Lyrics from Whatever Top-40 Drivel Happens to be on at the Moment. I'm looking at you, you B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams' "Can we pretend that airplanes/ in the night sky/are like shooting stars?" lyric-quoting people. It's not profound, especially when you try to pass it off as your own.
You Post Play-by-Plays of Your Drunken, Debaucherous Evenings.
"Just bought some Henny! Hope I remember tomorrow, haha!"
"Openin' the bottle! Hope my friends get here soon!"
"Drinking now. Almost drunk!"
[The Next Day]
"Last night was so epic! Got sooooooooooooooooo wasted!!!!!"
You are not Madden, and your life isn't nearly as exciting as the NFL. I get it, what you're trying to convey. You're fun, you go out drinking and partying, and you probably have friends that watch you drink. Awesome. You know what? I have the Jersey Shore folks for that kind of unsolicited entertainment. Also, you're forty-six with four grown kids who do not think your updates are cool, you irresponsible so-and-so.
You Post Lengthy Political Tirades — With Academic Citations, to Boot — and Then Expect Me to Click on "See More." I bid adieu to compulsory pedantry when I graduated from college, and Facebook doesn't even make me pay forty grand per year to use it. This stuff is rarely interesting, and I'll only get upset if I detect bigotry, so it's normally wiped clean from my newsfeed.
You Post About Boring Minutiae.
Everyone's seen these before. "Holy crap, just found lint in my pocket!" or "Doing laundry — hope it doesn't bleed into the whites!" "Walking the dog!" "Bathing the dog, now!" Family-friendly updates are fine, and even encouraged, but if all your updates are really that boring, I suggest getting off Facebook and finding a hobby to make suitable updates about. Unless you're Ned Flanders — in which case, carry on, sir.
You List Yourself as Alternately "In a Relationship," "Engaged," in an "It's Complicated with So-and-So" Scenario, and "Single," All Within the Course of a Week.
Honestly, if there's that much commotion in your love life on a consistent basis, why not save yourself the trouble of updating every two minutes on Facebook and just get yourself a reality television show? Bravo, Fox, and MTV/VH1 may be your best bet: It worked for Flavor Flav on Flavor of Love, and continues to work for Basketball Wives, the Bachelor/Bachelorette, and a whole slew of other shows. I'm all about taking advantage of the system and getting paid for your personal drama if its a viable option, but I don't pay for cable-style breakup drama on Facebook. Get your own channel. Plus, it saves me the trouble of having to worry about whether consoling you or congratulating you is the best option at the moment.
You Post Inside Jokes. No one cares. Really. That's what email groups are for.
You Can't Spell, Use Wrong Punctuation, TYPE IN ALL CAPS, or Otherwise Mutilate the English Language. I'm not the only one that can't stand PPL DAT TyPe LYKE d1s, right? Right?
Your Announce Your Travel Plans Via Facebook.
If every other week you're announcing an "impromptu" trip to Bali, or Dublin, or Lima, I'm not going to be happy for you. I'm going to be jealous, angry, and bitter. You will be hidden accordingly, and I can resume living my life as a Starbucks-dwelling, Big Mac-eating, WiFi-stealing, internet-commenting, outdoors-avoiding, monolingual, prototypical American.

remands me of a story about the drunk man that let a blind man drive him home so he would not get a DUI ticket
it all worked fine till they tried to stop to get something to eat and he hit a car in the parking lot
Hand 'im your expired insurance card
Worked for me
Two guys stole a pig and put him between them in the seat of their pickup. Got stopped by a cop. They quickly put a hat on the pig to disguise it. Cop asked the driver his name. "Roy Johnson", he replied. Asked the other guy his name, "Ray Johnson", he said. The cop then asked the pig his name. One of the guys poked the pig and it went "Oink". Later the cop told his buddies, "That Oink Johnson is the ugliest guy I've ever seen.'
I'd be more concerned about whether the cat driving has a drivers license, and that a cat is driving.

Water Filters & Household Filtration
Water filter systems help protect the entire home from the effects of dirt, sand and silt which can corrode pipes and become lodged in the hot water service, dishwasher, toilet and bathroom taps, which could lead to costly repairs. Not to mention the unsightly discoloration of toilet bowl, bath tubs and your washing being soiled and stained from dirt.
We help to keep your rainwater clean and safe by servicing your filter system every 12 months.
Whole House Twin Cartridge Rainwater Filter System
Whole House Triple Cartridge Rainwater Filtration System
Whole House Triple Cartridge Rainwater Filtration System with Aqua-Pro Water Sterilization Unit
Aqua-Pro Ultraviolet Water Sterilization unit 12 GPM (45.6 litre)
Whole House Twin Rainwater Filter System (Small Size) with Aqua Pro 6GPM Ultraviolet Sterilizer
HiFlow Inline Water Filter System
Do you realise that the upset stomach you may often have is probably not something you ate, it's most likely the unfiltered rain water that you drink!
A very common statement is "I've been on tank water all my life and it's never hurt me!"
Leaves, dirt, millipedes, snails, rodents, spiders, frogs and even lizards often enter rainwater tanks where they decompose on the tank floor, creating bio film which contaminates the water. Droppings from birds and possums that fall on your roof end up in the tank, where they form E-coli, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Giardia and water-born worms.
What lies in the bottom of your rainwater tank is enough to make you and your family very sick!
The amount of sludge that is captured by the Whole House filter cartridges in just 12-months is enough to shock most of our clients. Some insist that there rainwater is clear and clean for most of the year. What they fail to understand is that not only is the sludge on the bottom of their rainwater tank the main cause, but also that rainwater holds a great deal of dirt particles in suspension and every time it rains this increases. Their pressure pump effectively vacuums the sludge from the rainwater tank and pumps it directly into the house. If consumed, your body has to filter out all the sludge.
At The Tank Doctor we offer two main stages to filtering rainwater between your pressure pump or mains supply to your house.
Filtration of dirt and solids from the rainwater or mains water supply through our Twin Cartridge Whole House Filtration System.
Firstly, the Rainwater passes through a 20″ x 4.5″ polyester pleated cartridge, which captures suspended solids in the water such as dirt, rust, algae etc. The cartridge is rated to 10 Microns.
The rainwater then passes through a 20″ x 4.5″ activated carbon block cartridge. Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that removes contaminants and impurities, utilizing chemical adsorption. The cartridge assists in the removal of finer silt particles along with colour, taste, odour, chlorine and some germs from the rainwater supply. The cartridge is rated to 5 Microns.
Sterilization of the rainwater supply through our Stainless Steel
Ultra-Violet Water Sterilizer.
U.V. light is an effective and economical way of eliminating harmful bacteria form the rainwater supply. The system consists of a stainless steel chamber that houses a 39W Ultra-Violet light bulb. The rainwater passes through the chamber at the correct speed, exposing harmful bacteria to ultra-violet light at a wavelength of 254nm. This damages the DNA of the bacteria and eliminates its ability to reproduce.
Do the filters restrict flow or pressure in my house?
Our Whole-House filter cartridges are large in size, which allows for greater water flow resulting in no noticeable flow or pressure restriction.
**Please note: Many filter systems on the market are not approved**
All our filtration housings are pressure tested and approved to Australian / New Zealand Standards
AS/NZS 3497: 1998 Drinking water treatment units – plumbing requirements AS 3737: 2001. Method of pressure cycling resistance of pipes and fittings.
How long do the filter cartridges and U.V. light bulbs last?
Filter cartridges and U.V. bulbs last for 12 months. We offer to service your system every 12 months replacing spent U.V. bulbs and dirty filter cartridges with brand new filters ensuring clean, fresh water all year round.
What about unit quality & warranty?
All filter systems are installed with a 12 month parts and labour warranty. Our filter cartridges are very high quality, made in both the U.S.A. and New Zealand.
How easy are the Rainwater filters to install?
Our qualified installers will custom fit your filtration system after the pressure pump either at the rainwater tank or at the house.
Should I have my rainwater tested?
We can send a sample of your water in for testing however the results will vary throughout the year. The test results may return good at the time however as the seasons change things such as Autumn leaves, summer sun heating water pipes increasing bacteria, dirt and organics when it rains, slime and bacteria fed in to tanks from under-ground pipes known as 'wet systems' can quickly change the good test result into a hazard with you unaware of the change.
Example: You have a rainwater sample tested in June and the result is ok. During November, bacteria breeds to unsafe levels in your tank from unclean rainwater entering the rainwater tank. Suddenly members of the family becomes sick yet you ruled out the tank because you 'had it tested and it was ok'.
The best solution is to install a permanent filter barrier between your family and the rainwater supply. If your rainwater quality varies throughout the year, you will be assured that your home and family have a protective barrier in place.

In Vitro Phototoxicity Assays
- Type: News
- Published: 2013-05-28
- Read source
- Document Link
Addressing the phototoxic potential of individual ingredients and final formulations, especially those that absorb light in the UV/visible ranges and accumulate at the skin, has been a priority in the cosmetics industry; exactly how to address this has been examined using in vitro methods such as the 3T3 Phototoxicity Assay using Neutral Red Uptake (3T3-PT-NRU) Assay and Phototoxicity Assays using a 3-dimensional reconstructed epidermal skin model (3D-PT). These assays can cover the assessment of a variety of chemicals; but sometimes choosing the right assay (or assays) can be challenging. Which assay is best suited for your testing needs or product development goals?

Basel coach, Murat Yakin, has called on his side to "dominate" proceedings ahead of his side's Europa League semi-final first-leg tie against Chelsea.
The Swiss club knocked out Chelsea's fellow English Premier League club Chelsea in the last round and the former defender hopes his side will take as much confidence from that success as him.
He told reporters: "We have been dominating our home games, we will try to do the same and we will start positively for this match.
"We still have nothing to lose and I just want to see my team playing encouraging football and produce a good performance.
"We will try to dominate here at home like we have previously, this will give us a good chance in the away leg afterwards. Tottenham was a highlight for us and over time the team grew in confidence that we will take into this game."
Basel centre-back Fabian Schar was also in good spirits ahead of the clash, citing Yakin's thorough preparation as giving the Swiss an edge heading into the match.
He said: "The whole team uses video analysis with the coach who prepares us well for the match and then each player looks at their opponent that they will have to face, do their research on them.
"But it's not only one player we have to be careful of but the whole team as a unit that we have to watch out for."

Posted on 07/20/2012 2:10:58 PM PDT by marktwain
Headquartered in Plano, TX, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. is a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry with 459 theatres and 5,181 screens in the U.S. and Latin America as of March 31, 2012, their website reports. Cinemark owns the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, scene of last nights mass shooting. Cinemark doesnt allow anyone other than law enforcement officers to carry legal firearms in their theaters. The ban hadnt escape the attention of some of Cinemarks law-abiding, gun-toting customerseven before last nights homicidal frenzy. Make the jump for the story of a Cinemark patron ejected from the cinema for Open Carrying [via defensivecarry.com] . . .
A friend and I decided to go see Law Abiding Citizen [in Anchorage Alaska] after attending a local 2nd Amendment organization Banquet. We were already open carrying from the Banquet so we didnt bother putting on our jackets. We made our way into the theater and stood in line to purchase our tickets, so far there wasnt any problems.
I was OCing my 1911, my friend was OCing his G22, and we purchased our tickets and made our way to the theater so we could get good seats. As we near our theater two managers a male and female come out of nowhere and the conversation goes something like this . . .
Manager: Excuse me guys but firearms are not allowed in here, youll have to put them in your vehicle.
My friend: Really when did that happen, Ive carried here many times with no problem, well wed like to see your policy on that please!
Manager: Okay come with me
We followed the manager up to the ticket counter and he showed us this small cardboard sign that said NO FIREARMS ALLOWED at the very bottom. We told the manager that we wished to receive a full refund and we would not be returning to the theater in the future. He said nothing, and we were given our refunds with no further problems . . .
We ended up going to a shopping mall that has a theater inside and we were able to see our movie without being asked to leave . . .
This is indeed the slight inconvenience we put up with, but I really feel if enough people got behind this no guns = no money that businesses would change their policies real quick. However I dont see that happening anytime soon because most people are too lazy to take a stand.
Over at forum.opencarry.org, commentator thx997303 also had words with Cinemark about their weapons policy, this time at the corporate level.
I sent an e-mail to Cinemark Corporate to inquire as to their policy on firearms.
I got a call today, from Dan Myers with Cinemark Corporate, and he informed me that Cinemarks official policy is that ONLY LEOS CAN CARRY INTO THEIR THEATERS
He asked me that we not send e-mails to tell them their policy sucks.
There are other similar encounters on the net. Suffice it to say, gun owners should think twice about giving their money to companies that dont respect their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And think even more carefully about being in crowded public places where they cant carry.
"when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will carry guns..."
The shooter didn't need body armor.
He just needed to look for a no-guns sign. And he found one at Cinemark.
All these stupid rules do is prevent normal people from being able to defend themselves. Apparently the nut case last night violated theatre policy, but no one was able to put a bullet in his head and consequently a dozen people are dead.
/sarc. Just in case.
BTW, Here a great video on the subject:
Make your own Gun Free Zone
Sad thing is, there are some who would actually believe a sign or a policy would keep them safe.
We don't need to follow the FAILED POLICIES OF THE PAST! And this is a Big Example of a FAILIED POLICY.
Apparently Cinemark neglected to put a "No Guns" sign on the side door through which the miscreant entered.
And 12 people paid with their lives.
If only there'd been a sign.
A victim with a concealed carry permit needs to sue corporate liberals. If they are going to disarm the customes so they can not defend themselves, they could at least provide armed guards to protect them from the one who does not objey the law. They left those people as sitting ducks.
Target-rich environment.
I'm sure Mr. Holmes will be getting a sternly worded letter about this....
Wait... so this article is claiming that maniac criminals intent on shooting innocents and children aren't deterred by "no gun" policies?
Stay out of theatres that won't allow licensed to carry patrons to keep their sidearms. Part of this tragedy (loved only by the rat in the White Hut) or all could have been avoided by one gun-toting patron.
Cinemark should be fully liable for all deaths and injuried from this shooting. You ban firearms, it should be interpreted as accepting the responsibility to provide the full protections firearms would otherwise provide for your patrons. If you don't have enough armed guards to shoot a killer who runs amuck, then you should be fully liable for disarming people who otherwise would be able to protect themselves except for your ban.
And that liability should reach not only the company, but every corporate officer and member of the board generally, as well as every involved employee at the site of crime, personally.
Where contracts reach out to deprive rights, contracts should lose. there is a fundamental fight between those two powers, and the atrocities of the world we live in today are almost universally attributable to letting contracts - especially corporate contracts - trump personal rights.
I wonder if any Licensed Concealed Carriers were wounded and, if so, would that open the door for a suit against the owner for his "assumption of safety" in his establishment. He didn't provide them safety and he prevented them from protecting themselves. Just a thought!
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. does not permit legally carrying citizens with CCW.
But Cinemark Holdings will permit a terrorist to exit through an
Emergency Exit and re-enter with weapons to commit mass murder.
People need to sue Cinemark down to their sox.
Which I routinely ignore. And no one's the wiser.
"Cinemark doesnt allow anyone other than law enforcement officers to carry legal firearms in their theaters."
So Cinemark. aside from 12 known dead and 71 shot, how is that policy working out for you?
In Texas, NO-GUN signs MUST be as follows. Anything else is not legal warning:
PC §30.06. TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF LICENSE TO CARRY CONCEALED HANDGUN. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder:
(1) carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, on property of another without effective consent; and
(2) received notice that:
(A) entry on the property by a license holder with a concealed handgun was forbidden; or
(B) remaining on the property with a concealed handgun was forbidden and failed to depart.
(b) For purposes of this section, a person receives notice if the owner of the property or someone with apparent authority to act for the owner provides notice to the person by oral or written communication.
(c) In this section:
(1) Entry has the meaning assigned by Section 30.05(b).
(2) License holder has the meaning assigned by Section 46.035(f).
(3) Written communication means:
(A) a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun; or
(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.
(d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
It's called the 30.06 sign...Can't say I've seen a lot of legal ones.
I carry mine into every establishment with that sign. If nothing happens no one knows. If something happens then it was well worth the risk.
Someone who implemented that policy needs to answer this one simple question -
"What did you intend to accomplish with your no weapons policy?"
I think a big law suit is in order. How may 0's are in a zillion?
I've seen a few places that had the official no guns sign on one set of doors but not on others.
I doubt that the exit door through which the perp entered had such a sign.
Maybe that's why their policy didn't deter him.
From Handgunlaw.us:
Do No Gun Signs Have the Force of Law?
No Firearm signs in Colorado have no force of law unless they are posted on property that is specifically mentioned in State Law as being off limits to those with a Permit/License to Carry. If you are in a place not specifically mentioned in the law that is posted and they ask you to leave, you must leave. If you refuse to leave then you are breaking the law and can be charged. Even if the property is not posted and you are asked to leave you must leave. Always be aware of the possibility that responding Police Officers who may have been called without your knowledge and may not know the laws on trespass etc. could arrest you even if you are within the law.
Wonder how long it will take before one of our enlightened leaders suggests that the TSA screen moviegoers?
Done and done.
Hey Cinemark...
Evidently, Holmes didn't get the message about your policy...
Or..Maybe he did, and that's why he picked your theater.
People die every day. But to be slaughtered because youre not allowed to fight back is just stupid.
Carry everywhere, all ways. Your life might depend on it.
Refuse to patronize establishments and businesses that refuse to see you as a human being with a RIGHT to stay alive.
You are the First Responder, always and everywhere. No one is responsible for saving your life except you and you alone.
At the end of the day when it comes to wolves, youre either sheep, or sheepdog.
Stupid rule: Agreed!
My bet is, nobody would have had to defend them-self, if this pussy knew there would have been ten to thirty armed patrons ready to take him on.
This is the perfect example of why you don't take guns away.
Make sure the populace hasn't been set up to be defenseless victim in the first place.
"...What did you intend to accomplish with your no weapons policy?..."
They helped to accomplished a body count, pretty much.
When I see a "no guns" sign I know what it really makes..
"spend your money elsewhere"
So I do.
"...spend your money elsewhere So I do...."
So do I, but I make it a point to go in and let the store manager know that I'll make it my life's mission to let folks know that his establishment leaves them defenseless.
Hit them in the wallet, and let them know why, and K-Mart their asses.
Not as many as in a gazillion.
Like I said - that door didn't have a sign, and 12 people paid with their lives.
If only there had been a sign.
HUSH!!! If Obama finds out about those numbers we are more screwed than we already are!
Carry on ;)
Why have we not hears of other shooting incidents' victims suing?
Like the Vurginia Tech families?
I agree. It sickens me...
Check this out:
I don't know, but it's about time we get some second amendment lawyers for this kind of murderous abuse.
Sue this company into oblivion!!!
Every single victim and their families should do so without hesitation or reservation...
I think AMC Theaters needs to revisit their "gun free zone" policy as well...
Find out who the advertizers that parade their wares during the pre-preview time just before the main show...Those are local companies usually and that could have a tremendous effect on that particular theaters revenue and patronage...
Enough is enough...Time to hurt them where it counts...
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Dumb joke time: "Two Brazilian soldiers died in battle today"..."How many is a brazilion?"
BEIJING The Chinese are coming to your local movie theater. With the fanfare from Superman, and toasts of red wine, representatives of Chinese company Wanda signed a deal in Beijing Monday morning to buy AMC, the second-largest theater chain in the USA. http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/story/2012-05-21/china-company-buys-amc-movie-theater-chain/55106114/1
If guns are not allowed, there is a presumption of duty to provide security by the cinima company. I don't see where you have to have a permit to sue the cinima for lack of security. Sue them. And hound the politicians when libetal company owners lobby to get laws exempting them from responisibility. All of a sudden these no gun policies will disappear.
The same goes when a liberal company fires an employee who packs and stops a robber. they have a no guns policy by provide no security. Sue them if you are injured in their store by a robber.
No-Gun posters have been moved to prominent locations in my post office. (Worried about the folks going "postal," due to budget cuts?)
A variation on that was a GWB joke a few years back.
Really? The thirty-aught-six sign? Huh!
Carrying in movie theaters at night is a very good idea. Flash mob beat downs, drug addled psychos, and events such as this could be avoided and/or minimized by law abiding prepared citizens.

PORT ELIZABETH, N.J. - Today, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Chairman Inez Tenenbaum and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar announced at Port Elizabeth, N.J. that more than 2 million units of dangerous or violative toys and children's products were seized in 2012 and were prevented from reaching the hands of children. CPSC investigators and CBP inspectors are working arm-in-arm at ports across the United States to keep families safe during this holiday toy shopping season.
Over the past four years, CPSC and CBP have stopped more than 8.5 million units of about 2,400 different toys and children's products due to safety hazards or the failure to meet federal safety standards. By seizing dangerous toys and children's products at the ports, those products remain off store shelves and out of consumer's homes.
Chairman Tenenbaum and Commissioner Aguilar urged parents to remain vigilant when making toy purchases and always keep safety at the top of their toy shopping list.
"Proactive port surveillance, strong toy standards, and educational efforts create a safer holiday toy shopping experience for consumers by keeping dangerous products off store shelves," said Chairman Tenenbaum. "Ultimately our goal is to protect our most vulnerable population—kids—and keep them safe this holiday season."
"Together with CPSC, we have intercepted record amounts of unsafe products," said Deputy Commissioner Aguilar. "We are here to raise consumers' awareness about the very real danger of unsafe products and urge consumers to be vigilant when buying toys and children's products this holiday season."
In fiscal year 2012, CPSC recalled 38 toys, three of which involved a lead violation. Toy recalls continued to decline since 2008. There were 172 recalls in fiscal year 2008, 50 recalls in fiscal year 2009, 46 toy recalls in fiscal year 2010, and 34 recalls in 2011. Most toy recalls in 2012 were due to small parts, choking hazards or sharp points.
Toy-related death reports to CPSC involving children younger than 15-years-old decreased to 13 in 2011 from 19 fatalities in 2010 and 17 reported in 2009. The majority of these toy-related fatalities were attributed to asphyxiation, choking or drowning. These included children choking on balloons, drowning after trying to retrieve a toy from a swimming pool, or being found with tricycles in swimming pools.
A new report (PDF) released by CPSC today estimated 193,200 toy-related, emergency department-treated injuries to children younger than 15 years of age occurred in 2011. Many of the incidents were associated with, but not necessarily caused by, a toy. For children younger than 15-years-old, non-motorized scooters continued to be the category of toys associated with the most injuries. Frequently, these injuries involved lacerations, contusions, and abrasions to the child's face and head.
Here are some safety tips that consumers should keep in mind this holiday season:
Once gifts are open:
Along with educating the public, CPSC is committed to working with foreign and domestic toy manufacturers, importers and retailers to help them understand and comply with U.S. toy requirements.
In addition this year, CPSC joined international safety agencies in Canada and Mexico to promote toy safety education and awareness. CPSC along with Health Canada and Mexico's Procuraduria Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO) have released toy safety tips for choosing, purchasing and supervising the use of children's toys. This cooperative effort with CPSC's North American partners helps to ensure a safer marketplace.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or CPSC's teletypewriter at 301-595-7054.

Reader Question 29
This is the last Reader Question! I know! It snuck up on me too!
Next week I'm heading out to FURRY FIESTA in Dallas, Texas! I have TWO complete pages of Skin Deep ready to go up, so there will be an update NEXT TUESDAY and the TUESDAY AFTERWARDS and hopefully all the Tuesdays afterwards.
I'm SUPPOSED to get my Borogove cards after Furry Fiesta (I should have a box AT the con, too) so there might be some hiccups in updates while I am shipping those out. I'm kind of playing it by ear right now! Woooo.
29 Comments
YESH! Dance, Michelle, DANCE!
Chic – Good Times
fluffy belleh!!! squee!!!
I'm sure that everyone appreciated Dancing Michelle. I know I did.
News and Pic are nicely matched and great to see!!
Hooray! And adorable sphinx dance for the awesomes :D
hears a question what would happen if vergal from the tv serias static shock were to meat michell and the gang in full form?
You remind me of the sphinx.
What sphinx?
The sphinx with the power.
Not sure if you'll be answering any more questions, but…
What does the rest of Jim's family (sans Colin, of course) look like in their human forms?
D'oh, just saw that you said this was the last reader question. Oh well, glad the comic's coming back soon! :)
This question was answered: http://www.skindeepcomic.com/archive/rq-7-human-finns/
Eeeeeeeeee! :D :D This has made me SO ridiculously happy. XD
I'd do a full on happy dance, but last time I did that I tripped over my wings.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! /falls over in shock
Kori! I just looked at your Tumbles, and saw the Lesser Griffins! The macaw griffin! /flails excitedly
Ok, ok, deep breath. I sculpted that YEARS ago. Is that a macaw and a civet cross? Mine was a macaw and a ring-tailed lemur, and I called it a 'monkaw'. It was for an animal anatomies class, where we had to realistically combine two dissimiliar species and sculpt it. Jeez, mine was a foot tall, weighed about 15-20 pounds or so, and took about 50 hours (because I'm insane). Sadly I don't have it anymore; I ended up giving it to my highschool art teacher as a gift because she was such an incredible influence on me, or I'd send you pictures.
Man, does this take me back. :)
I'd say the biggest difference between our models is that you stayed true to the quadruped style, which is totally cool btw, and I opted for for vestigial grasping hand in place if the alula, but I was thinking quick and dirty evolution and not style, lol. So that would make the forelimbs partial wing, partial climbing apparatus, while the rear limbs and tail are more lemur based. Efficient, but not as cool looking as yours. ANYWAY MY STORY IS DONE HERE
Darn it, now you make me want to go back and watch Labyrinth again! :)
Soo excited for
a) More Skindeep
b) BOROGOVE!!
So I've got a question for the next Reader Questions. Are there pookas, and if so, what are they like? What about taniwhas?
I have a question- I sthe comic really up again? Becaise it's over a month since you said that last answer, and I still don't see a new page…. Please, please continue!!!!!!!
The comic has updated three times since the last Reader Question. http://www.skindeepcomic.com/archive/homecoming-11-nothing-apparently/ : )
It isn't updating as much as I'd like because of Con season and shipping Borogove, but it's still going, don't worry!
*Sorry, bad spelling :p I really would like to see this universe continued, though! Am I missing something that I can't find?
Holly Frick.
Somehow, whenever I pressed next, it came here. I guess my browser MUST have been missing something! Ah, well, thanks for responding!
EDIT: Sorry, not here- the page with the comic making and borogrove cards, or whatever. The black and white one (see, I told you I forget things :p
Okay, now I see. I can't wait though, seriously! Good luck!
I keep seeing dead trees in places these two have passed through or visited (like Mrs. Jocasta's yard, though there are green trees in full leaf across the road),…
Is there something about them that's causing the trees to wither?
Waaaay late on this reply…but that plot arc takes place in November in Missouri, you know. Lots of trees would be wearing their autumn colors or have lost their leaves by that point, though others would take longer or be evergreens.
You remind me of the babe

Poached Fish in Shrimp Sauce
Total Time
Prep 35 mins
Cook 18 mins
This is a variation of a recipe which I found in an old cookbook I purchased over 25 years ago titled, The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking. I have changed it slightly to adapt to a less expensive version. It is really good with any kind of fish...but my favorite is with fresh salmon. If you read the entire recipe you will see that although it looks complicated at first glance it really is very easy and quick to make. Preparation time includes thickening time of cooking the sauce.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 fish fillets
- 118.29 ml milk
- 4.92 ml salt
- 1.23 ml black pepper
- 2 (368.54 g) can shrimp, drained
- 78.07 ml margarine
- 118.29 ml flour
- 9.85 ml salt
- 2.46 ml black pepper
- 7.39 ml sweet paprika
- 4.92 ml parsley flakes
- 1419.0 ml half-and-half
- 113.39 g can mushrooms
- Sauce:Melt margarine in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in flour then gradually add the half and half.
- Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
- Add remaining ingredients and simmer over very low heat while preparing fish.
- Fish:Roll up each fillet from the larger end and secure with a toothpick and place in a glass 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Add milk, salt, and pepper to the fish.
- Cover with waxed paper and microwave for 3 minutes on full power.
- Remove fillets from baking dish, discard liquid and then put the fish back into the dish.
- Pour hot shrimp sauce over the fish and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degees.
Most Helpful
its not made with ketchup, i asked the chef when he was making it and he said that the ketchup makes the sauce to watery. He said instead of ketchup its made with tomato paste. The ketchup gives the sauces a vinegar taste that it doesn't need. But with the tomato paste the vinegar taste is not in it and it will taste more like the sauce. Im just letting you know if you want the sauce to taste more like the shrimp sauce.
Well Carrol, I have a very happy Granddad here today, he loves fish, and when I mentioned your recipe he asked to have it for Sunday dinner. I have never seen him clear his plate so fast, and he gave it five stars. I made it with haddock fillets which is a white fish not sure if you get that in US, as the fillets were quite big I did have to cook them a bit longer. The sauce was lovely, the seasoning was just right, the sweet paprika gave it a nice colour as well as a nice taste,you did say that I wouldn't be dissappointed and we were definitely not especially granddad.Thanks for a keeper. Made for PAC spring 2009.

It's been almost 8 months since Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Android 4.0 came out, but AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket owners are still waiting for it. A few Android 4.0 firmware have been leaked for it in past months, but the official update still hasn't yet been released. And now, another Android 4.0 firmware has been leaked – UCLF5, which you can flash on your Skyrocket to try out ICS while you wait for the official release.
Important NOTE: This is not a final or official update, so it can have a few bugs and issues and some things may not work correctly. It also contains new bootloaders, which can brick your device if something goes wrong, so make sure to read the instructions carefully.
Read on to find out how you can update your AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket to UCLF5 Android 4.0 firmware.
This firmware and the guide below are compatible only and only with the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, model number i727. It's not compatible with any other device and may render an incompatible device unusable. Check your device model in Settings » About phone.
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don't know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to your device, we won't be held liable.
How to Install UCLF5 Ice Cream Sandwich Firmware on AT&T Galaxy S2
- This procedure will wipe all your apps, data and settings (but it will NOT touch your SD cards, so don't worry about those). Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.
Important! Don't forget to at least make a backup of your APN settings, which you can restore later if your data connection does not work after installing the ROM. Use the backup guide to find out how.
- Download and install drivers for the phone on your computer.
Download Drivers | Alternate Link
- Download the firmware by following the download link on the original download page. On the download page, click on the link next to the File URL text as shown below in screenshot to get the direct download link.
- Double-click on the downloaded I727UCLF5_OneClickBin_DEABC2C0A29DD59C387453B159AF9730.exe file to run Odin, which will be used to flash the firmware on your phone.
- Now, boot into download mode on the phone. To do this, turn off your phone. Plug in your USB cable to the computer, but not to the phone. Then, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the phone, plug in the USB cable to the phone while holding those buttons. Once the Download mode screen shows up, let go of the buttons.
- The Odin screen will say "Added!!" in the message box below when the phone is connected to the computer. If it does not, make sure you have the proper drivers installed on the computer.
- Click on Start to start the flashing of UCLF5 on your Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
- Wait for the procedure to finish. After flashing is complete, the phone will reboot, and you'll get a PASS message (with green background) in Odin. You can now safely disconnect your phone. What to do if Odin gets stuck: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn't seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, then repeat the procedure from step 4.
- If you run into any roadblocks while flashing the firmware, let us know and we'll try to help you out.
The latest Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 firmware is now installed on your AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Let us know what you think of it, in the comments below.

Kerry's Plan to Pack Congress With War Vets
Man your battlestations! Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has teamed with war pals Max Cleland, former Georgia senator, and fellow ex-Swift boat skipper Wade Sanders in an all-out effort to support the Congressional campaigns of some 70 Iraq war veterans. And through an email last week, Kerry raised $250,000 in just one 24-hour period for three: $100,000 for Tammy Duckworth in Illinois's 6th District, and $65,000 each for Patrick Murphy in Pennsylvania's 8th District and Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania's 7th District. $20,000 went to support other candidates. Kerry has now raised over $1-million online in the last six months, according to aides. John Kerry reporting for duty!
Despite having lost his bid for president, Kerry has remained highly relevant and influential both inside and outside the beltway. Back in '04 he raised $80 million via the Internet and amassed a valuable email supporter list of about 3-million names. He uses that list aggressively to raise funds and build support for many viable candidates. Through his PAC, Keeping America's Promise, Kerry's raised more than $2 million for the upcoming mid-terms. Another new email seeks support and money for Tim Walz, who's running in Minnesota's 1st District seat, and Jay Fawcett, the only Democrat seeking retiring Rep. Joel Hefley's (R) open seat in Colorado's 5th District.
The apparent motivation for the trio's fundraising plan links back to the early 70's when Kerry and Cleland entered politics after returning from Vietnam frustrated and disillusioned with the Nixon administration's polarization of the military and its attempt to divide soldiers along party lines. To prevent that from happening with Iraq war vets, they plan to raise $500,000 for a "Fight Back Fund." Said Kerry: "Karl Rove's gonna come after these kids hard. It's Richard Nixon all over again. We're gonna make sure these vets have the ammunition to shoot back."

Engadget reports Aldebaran Robotics' Nao robot has already received a few upgrades from both the company itself and other developers: features like a 1.6GHz Atom processor and dual HD cameras that promise to allow for better face and object recognition even in poor lighting conditions. What's more, while robot's outward appearance hasn't changed much, it has also received a number of software upgrades, including Nuance voice recognition, an improved walking algorithm, and a number of other measures to cut down on unwanted collisions.
Interested developers will finally be able to get their hands on a bot of their own quite soon. To do so, they'll have to sign up and quality for the just-launched Nao developer program, which costs €3,600 (or roughly $4,800) and will initially be limited to just 200 participants. That hefty price does naturally include the robot itself, along with a complete software suite, and "privileged access" to Aldebaran Robotics' source code.

Joe and Jill Biden This Morning

We were driving home to Mesa along the scenic route and spotted Joe and Jill Biden brunching at the Biltmore. They waved and smiled and looked to be enjoying a relaxing breakfast. Secret Service was everywhere at the Biltmore, but they were friendly and said they were off to Los Angeles later today.

If you are like the majority of other Americans, you don't have a spotless credit report. Considering how brutal the Great Recession has been for Americans, missing a few payments here and there is hardly unusual. Indeed, many Americans have something worse on their credit reports-a foreclosure or repossession. The reality is that the soft economy has continued to cause financial problems for many Americans ever since 2008 and people shouldn't think their financial lives ended when derogatory or bad notations found their way on their credit reports.
The good news is that you can get rid of such notations and improve your credit. The bad news? You need credit to build up your credit. See the problem? If you have bad credit, how can you improve your credit since new credit is given based on your credit score. This can easily become a vicious cycle. Thanks to online loans for people with bad credit, it doesn't have to be. Indeed, loans for people with bad credit can be a springboard to healthier credit. The key is to get started. Here's a quick and easy guide on how to get on the road back to prime credit score health by applying for the right loans for people with bad credit using the Internet.
Start with the best interest rates
When looking for loans for people with bad credit, there are many factors you can consider. You can scope out offers based on terms, details, company reputation, and interest rates. Since the interest rate of loans for people with bad credit impact the amount you'll pay every month, it is a good idea to start with this particular factor first then filter your list using other factors. Interest rates must come first. Sure, there are some companies that offer higher interest rates with better terms. However, if the rates are so high, whatever benefits you get from their terms are outweighed by the hassle of having to pay extra due to the high rates.
Scrub your list based on hidden fees and terms
Beware of loans for people with bad credit with seemingly low interest rates. You will notice from your research for this type of loan that there are three tiers of loan offers: high, medium, low. If you were to chart the interest rates, it would look like the companies offering loans for people with bad credit you have checked out form a 'bell.' On the left side are the tiny number of offers offering comparatively low rates. The vast majority will be in the middle. On the right side are companies offering high rates. Eliminate the right side completely. Filter you list further by paying careful attention to the terms of the remaining offers. You will notice that some companies impose pretty hefty penalties.
Others charge all sorts of fees. Some try to hide their fees. To avoid getting taken by hidden costs, apply this simple tip: if there are any provisions that will impact the total amount of cash you will pay for your loan, it is a cost and must be taken into account. By using this simple tip, you can quickly pare down the number of loan providers you're considering. Since loans for people with bad credit can be your ticket to better credit, the amount of time and effort you take in filtering your list is more than worth it.
Make sure you check out the health of the company offering the bad credit loans you're interested in. It is also a good idea to check out any reviews available online regarding the company. Don't automatically believe the reviews though. Instead, look for patterns. If the overall pattern is fine, don't let a few negative or even nasty reviews change your mind. However, if you see an overall negative pattern, it is probably a good idea to steer clear of particular loans for people with bad credit.

"We've decided to cease making games for the Wii U, as we've found our sales have been far too low." -Warner Bros Games, after the release of this.
Injustice was the same, no DLC 'til months later?
August 1, 2013 at 2:24 am
There is no reason for this, when this game doesn't sell they are going to blame it on Nintendo.
August 1, 2013 at 6:17 am
And they still expect this to sell? It's missing a major feature. And we won't get deathstroke either ;(
August 1, 2013 at 5:21 pm
I'm interested to see what will happen when the Xbox One and PS4 come out and don't sell nearly as much as the Wii U. Will they still be saying that they don't think games will sell well on Wii U when they find that they're not going too well on other consoles?

It is important that women who are or may become pregnant have up-to-date information about Down syndrome (DS). Developing strategies for educating such women about DS require understanding their knowledge and their attitudes, beliefs, resources, and information needs. Few recent studies have examined the understanding of these issues among women of childbearing age, especially those in different age and racial-ethnic groups.
The present study used focus group discussions conducted among women of childbearing age to examine strategies for educating women about DS. A total of 111 women participated in 24 focus groups conducted in 2 US cities. All participants planned to have a child in the next year or were recently pregnant (and had a child ≤3 years old without DS). Participants were further segmented by age groups (18–34 and 35–44 years) and by race/ethnicity (white, African American, and Hispanic). Focus group questions explored the women's knowledge about DS, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about quality of life for persons and families with DS, as well as available resources and information needs.
All women had some knowledge about DS, especially knowledge about facial characteristics and cognitive manifestations of DS. They frequently discussed older maternal age as a risk factor for DS. Most participants knew that DS is a chromosomal disorder. However, many had misconceptions about DS and lacked knowledge in several areas. Most participants were unaware of the birth prevalence of DS in the United States and uncertain about their own risk. The majority believed that having a child with DS would disrupt their lives. Participants had limited knowledge of maternal and paternal risk factors and the mental capacity or average life expectancy of affected children. Nearly all participants wanted stories to help explain what life is like for families with DS. Many Hispanic and African American participants had only seen or knew of white persons with DS; they asked for culturally diverse educational materials. Information resources mentioned by many participants were the Internet and health care providers. Few participants who had a young child reported receiving substantive information about DS from their health care provider.
These findings suggest that women should receive up-to-date tailored clinical information about DS and also information about what life is like for families with DS.

What Is Your Understanding of Biblical Discipleship?
Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When you hear the word discipleship, what thoughts come to your mind? Like other words, it may have lost the significance of its original meaning. In your church do believers tend to think of discipleship as knowing facts about Jesus or following Jesus in a personal, dependent, obedient relationship? Biblically, discipleship is not a program but a process of becoming Christlike and being zealous to see others become disciples also.
The Gospels and the Book of Acts include 260 references to the word disciple. Every time the word is used, it refers to a declared relationship with Jesus Christ, not a level of spiritual or religious achievement. Becoming a Christian, in New Testament understanding, was the same as becoming a disciple of Jesus. The word disciple in the New Testament, then, refers primarily to any Christian, not to a subdivision of the Christian community.
According to Clarence Drummond, a Georgia pastor, to be a Christian is to be a disciple. (Source 1)
Scripture teaches three stages in a Christian's life.
1. Justification. God initiates justification to bring a person into right standing with Him. The person becomes justified in God's sight (see Rom. 5:1) by confessing and repenting of his sin and asking God to atone for it through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Inherent in the person's declaration of need for God to redeem him from the penalty of sin is also a profession of his desire to follow Jesus as the Lord of his life. This profession begins the second stage.
2. Sanctification. This stage describes a believer's journey of faith from justification to the end of his earthly life. Sanctification is the process of becoming mature or more Christlike in one's faith. God wants Christians to learn how to live as He wants them to live (see Phil. 2:12).
3. Glorification. One day when a believer's earthly life is over, he will be glorified, becoming like Jesus (see 1 John 3:2). The process of discipleship will then be complete (see Phil. 1:6).
Christian discipleship is a lifelong journey of obedience to Christ that spiritually transforms a person's values and behavior and results in ministry in one's home, church, and the world.
Dallas Willard, author, professor, and outspoken follower of Christ, said, "We progressively learn to lead our lives as he would if he were we." (Source 2)
After someone becomes a Christian, becoming like Jesus in character and being obedient to Him should be the main objectives in life (see Gal. 5:22-23). John the apostle wrote, "The one who says, 'I have come to know Him,' without keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God is perfected. This is how we know we are in Him: the one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked" (1 John 2:4-6).
The Christian life ought to be more distinctive than any other type of life.
More to come on this topic, "Biblical Discipleship."

text: Everything he said was right. That's a good way to get your team really pumped. I think that's the motivation the Lakers need. He might not really mean everything he says but it's the kind of thing that makes the Lakers want to win and go "well in your face". I think what he said about Gary Payton was right but when he said "He isn't what he was 10 years ago. He has to face it" well that was dumb 'cause he won't face it. It's the truth but there is no way that's going to happen. If you ask GP if he thinks he was better 10 years ago then he was now he'd say he wasn't.

At the risk of embellishing quarter-century hyperbole, Aug. 9, 1988 really did shake hockey to its core.
Not only was there emotional impact on fans in Edmonton (agony) and Los Angeles (ecstasy) and a significant change to street cred possessed by the Oilers (diminished) and Kings (enhanced), but the trade of Wayne Gretzky simultaneously broadened any territorial horizons previously imagined by the suit-wearing power players at NHL HQ in New York.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman recently commented on the 25th anniversary of the trade to the The Globe and Mail.
"I remember thinking at the time that that demonstrated a huge step forward for hockey and its credibility," recalled Bettman, who was an NBA corporate minion at the time. "It was obviously something that, in the annals of sports, was one of those seminal events that gets a tremendous amount of attention because of its import and impact."
In fact, by the time Bettman went from hardwood lackey to ice rink czar five years later, the chain of events triggered by the Alberta-to-California swap had already begun.
