W1NONA, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1950 FIVE CENTS PER COPY TWENTY PAGES TODAY- Russians Can Build H-Bomb Bj Joseph and Stewart AIsop is one single, simple, central fact about the hy- drogen bomb that everyone must grasp, if we are not to wander blindly into a new age of night- mare. The mere possibility that this terrible weapon may be built in two or three or four years al ters the whole face of world af- fairs. This Is so, moreover, whether President Truman settles the cur- rent controversy within the govern- j ment by deciding to build hydro- gen bombs, or by refusing to build hydrogen bombs. For no one can be so simple as to suppose that the kremlin will shrink back from constructing the absolute weapon, just because we have shrunk back. Nor .should anyone wishfully as- sume that the kremlin will not have the know-how for the job. Indeed, the leading Soviet physi- cist.

And this Is so because the construction of a hydrogen bomb will represent mankind's finaJ, suicidal the harnessing of the Inmost sec- ret of creation for purposes of un- Imaginable destructions.

Mom was watching on Dateline or something like that tonight. They were showing how the glachers were melting so fast because of us of corse. And how were scientists walked 5 years ago were there was ground is now water, or were there was snow is now green. And how the Penguin and other animal population has decreased by 50%.::o So mom went online to see how she chould help out more! And thought she whould share this with you! And hope you will try to help as well!
For more info go to: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/03/how-to-green-your-pe t.php
What's the Big Deal?
Ah, the pitter patter of four-legged feet as they whip through your living room at overclocked speeds or uproot your prize gladiolas with manic fervor. But Snookiepuss and Mrs. Fluffypants are practically family, right? So why should they settle for anything less than top drawer when their health and wellbeing are at stake? Throw the planet a bone while you're at it; we've got the goods on how to reduce your pets' carbon paw prints—without making your wallet roll over and play dead.
1. Adopt from a shelter
Pet breeders have only one goal in mind—to raise large quantities of purebred animals for profit. They've also been pilloried for misdeeds such as overbreeding, inbreeding, poor veterinary oversight, lousy food and living conditions, overcrowding, and culling of unwanted animals. Why buy when you can adopt one of the 70,000 puppies and kittens born every day in the United States? Love knows no pedigree. Check out Petfinder.com to find your perfect match.
2. Spay or neuter your pet
Did we mention 70,000 puppies and kittens are born every day in the United States? That's 15 puppies and 45 kittens for every hairless biped that slides out of a birth canal. And "multiplying like bunnies" isn't just any old trope. We don't need any more homeless animals than we already have. As a bonus, spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives by eliminating the possibility of uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancer, and decreasing the incidence of prostate disease.
3. Rein in your pets; protect native wildlife
Always keep your dog on a leash when outside, and confine your mangy feline indoors. Topped only perhaps by habitat destruction, cats are the biggest, baddest bird killers of all time. Even wind turbines have got nothing on them. While you may poo-poo high cat-related bird-mortality rates as collateral damage in the great Circle of Life, domestic cats do have an unfair advantage. Unlike wild predators, house cats are always well fed, well rested, and in tip-top fighting shape. They're also present in more concentrated (and rapidly increasing) numbers than say, the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike.
That aside, two out of every three vets, according to the Humane Society of America, recommend keeping cats indoors, because of the dangers of cars, predators, disease, and other hazards. The estimated average life span of a free-roaming cat is less than three years; an indoors-only cat gets to live an average of 15 to 18 years. If kitty needs to heed the call of the wild, an outdoor cat enclosure is a good compromise.
4. Swap out the junk food
Most conventional pet-food brands you find at the supermarket consist of reconstituted animal by-products, otherwise known as low-grade wastes from the beef and poultry industries—you know, inedibles you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot fork. In fact, the animals used to make many pet foods are classified as "4-D," which is really a polite way of saying "Dead, Dying, Diseased, or Down (Disabled)" when they line up at the slaughterhouse. Unless that can of Chicken 'N Liver Delite explicitly states that it contains FDA-certified, food-grade meat, you should know that its contents are considered unfit for human consumption—but apparently good enough for your cat or pooch.
Now, since nutrition is one of the key determinants of health and resistance to disease, ideally you'll want your pet's chow to be comparable in quality with what we would eat.
Natural and organic pet foods use meats that are raised in sustainable, humane ways without added drugs or hormones, minimally processed, and preserved with natural substances, such as vitamins C and E. Certified-organic pet foods must meet strict USDA standards that spell out how ingredients are produced and processed, which means no pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial preservatives, artificial ingredients or genetically engineered ingredients.

5. Clean up their poop
Scoop up your doggie doo in biodegradable poop bags so your buddy's No. 2 isn't immortalized in a plastic bag, while deep-sixed in a landfill somewhere for hundreds of years. Cat owners should avoid clumping clay litter at all costs. Not only is clay strip-mined (bad for the planet), but the clay sediment is also permeated with carcinogenic silica dust that can coat little kitty lungs (bad for the cat). Plus, the sodium bentonite that acts as the clumping agent can poison your cat through chronic ingestion through their fastidious need to groom. Because sodium bentonite acts like expanding cement—it's also used as a grouting, sealing, and plugging material—it can swell up to15 to18 times their dry size and clog up your cat's insides. Eco-friendly cat litters avoid these problems; a happy cat is a cat that doesn't claw your face off.
6. Give them sustainable goods
Your furry friends can get in on some saving-the-planet goodness, too—and have plenty of fun—with toys made from recycled materials or sustainable fibers (sans herbicides or pesticides) such as hemp. A hemp collar (with matching leash) is a rocking accessory for a tree-hugging mutt. These days, you can even get pet beds made with organic cotton or even recycled PET bottles.
7. Use natural pet-care and cleaning products
You don't use toxic-chemical-laced shampoos and beauty products, so lather up your cats and dogs (or ferrets, rabbits, or hamsters—we don't judge) with natural pet-care products, as well. And if your cat horks up a hairball, or Fifi doesn't make it all the way to the bathroom, clean up the mess with cleaning products that are as gentle on the planet as they are on your critters' delicate senses.
8. Pets, not fads
Sure, everyone's ovaries ping when they see a five-year-old moppet cradle a tiny chick or a bunny during Easter, but nature dictates that baby bunnies grow up into rabbits, and little chicks into full-size chickens. Unless everyone involved understands that a pet is a long-term commitment that involves demands on both their time and money, you're better off giving the kid a stuffed animal. Impulse buying (say, rushing out an grabbing the next available Dalmatian puppy after watching 101 Dalmatians) isn't a good idea, either, as the large numbers of fad dogs that pass through shelters (often to their death) can attest. Repeat after us—especially you, Paris Hilton: Pets are not fads or fashion accessories.
9. Melt the ice, nicely
Use a child- and pet-safe deicer such as Safe Paw's environmentally friendly Ice Melter. Rock salt and salt-based ice-melting products, which kids and animals might accidentally ingest, can cause health problems, while contaminating wells and drinking supplies.
10. Tag your pet
It might be a stretch to call inserting an electronic ID chip into your pet an eco-friendly move, but losing your buddy causes extreme emotional distress that turns you into nobody's friend. Then there's the paper waste from printing out Missing posters, the fuel cost of driving around your neighborhood trying to find them, the phone bill as you bawl your eyes out to everyone you know … well, you get the idea. Ask your vet for more info. For hanging tags, check out these recyclable (and recycled) aluminum ID tags and these WaggTaggs made from recycled silver.
Wanna Do More?
1. Compost their poop
American dogs and cats create 10 million tons of waste a year, and no one knows where it's going, according to Will Brinton, a scientist in Mount Vernon, Maine, and one of the world's leading authorities on waste reduction and composting.
Most of our pets' poop either winds up in a landfill purgatory, where it's embalmed practically forever in plastic bags, or sits on the ground until the next rainstorm washes it into the sewer where it can drift on down to rivers and beaches. You can compost the poop—just don't use it with your vegetable garden, because the compost doesn't heat up enough to kill pathogens such as E. coli., which could contaminate your homegrown produce and land up in your (very unhappy) belly.
If you have room in your backyard, you can bury an old garbage bin (note: far away from your vegetable garden) to use as a pet-waste composter. Or check out the Doggie Dooley. The makers of the Doggy Dooley also sell an enzymatic "Super Digester Concentrate" for your backyard pet septic system.
2. Be a pet chef
If you want to know exactly what is going into your furball's food dish, or your pet suffers from allergies, you can always make your own puppy (or kitty) chow. If the idea of becoming a fulltime pet chef is just crazy talk, making the occasional meal or treat is completely doable. Those broccoli stalks left over from your last stirfry also make some tasty morsels for your pup.
3. Get crafty
Your cat will love you forever if you grow your own organic catnip or cat grass. Scrap yarn and fabric you might otherwise toss can also easily be transformed into pet toys with some basic crafty know-how. And they wouldn't have had to be trucked thousands of miles just to get drooled on.
4. Get ticks off
While you don't want to douse your pet in toxins, it is also important to keep the bugs in check. Pets can carry ticks, and ticks can carry Lyme Disease, a serious and poorly understood disease that attacks the nervous system. If you live in an area where Lyme Disease is a risk, be very cautious and seek sound advice on keeping ticks off you and your furry friends.
5. Offset your pet
Maybe Scruffy will only drink water from an electric-powered water fountain, or perhaps you have a self-cleaning litter box from before you went green—we all have corpses buried in our backyards. Why not purchase green tags, otherwise known as renewable energy credits, to offset your pets' carbon emissions. Heck, buy 'em for the whole family so no one feels left out. Or better yet, check if your state sells green power so you and your furry compatriots can go carbon neutral.
By The Numbers
1. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that domestic cats kill more than 39 million birds annually—and that's just in Wisconsin.
2. There are over 66 million pet cats in the United States; approximately 35 percent are kept exclusively indoors.
3. Certain studies have shown that children who grow up with two or more pets are more than 75 percent less likely to develop allergies later in life.
4. Sixty percent of pet owners have a dog; on average owners have almost two dogs (1.7).
5.Over 5,500 puppies and kittens (compared with 415 human babies) are born every hour in the United States.
6. The U.S. Dept. of Health found that 28 percent of heart patients who were also pet owners survived serious heart attacks, compared with 6 percent of patients without pets.
7.In 1994, Time magazine estimated that as many as 25 percent of purebred dogs were afflicted with serious genetic problems.
8. Shelter workers nationwide are forced to euthanize an estimated 3 to 4 million homeless cats and dogs each year.::o

REGIONAL Development Minister Danny Kennedy has announced the start of a £245,000 resurfacing scheme on the A6 Belfast Road in Antrim.
The work is due to begin on February 4, between Ballycraigy Road and Islandreagh Drive.
Mr Kennedy said: "The resurfacing works will increase the structural strength and improve the running surface of the road."
To help minimise any inconvenience to local businesses and the travelling public the majority of this work is programmed to be completed using lane closures.
The lane closures will commence on February 4 and continue until March 24. During lane closures two-way traffic flow will be maintained.
A full closure of the Belfast Road will be in place between March 9-10 and March 19-24 to allow final surfacing and all traffic will be diverted using the advertised diversion.
The scheme is expected to be completed on March 24.
The above planned dates are subject to favourable weather conditions and Roads Service will keep the public informed of any change.
Roads Service has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however motorists should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.

It was so easy for a parent, like me, to identify with the fear that the fictional single parent played by Maggie Gyllenhaal felt in not having the access or means to get her child the resources needed to effectively support her child's educational needs.
Read Whole Story
A "parent takeover" is not the answer. But increasing parent engagement and voice is a good place to start. There are five directions that we believe are productive outlets for this energy.
The release of the new education film, Won't Back Down, starring Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal, adds another voice to the clamoring debate about education. Sadly, it's another voice of blame.
This piece comes to us courtesy of The Hechinger Report.
Doreen Diaz left the red carpet movie premiere of "Won't Back Down" in New York City...
Even famous faces Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal couldn't help "Won't Back Down," which set a record over the weekend for worst film opening ever.
Won't Back Down will not enlighten. It will feed polarization and contribute to the misguided habits of thought that already plague educational policy-making in this country.
Won't Back Down portrays the heroism of one parent and one teacher fighting harmful educational practices by taking over their school. Their victory is as mythic as it is misleading.
While the whole 'measure the cumulative weekend box office' trend is usually stupid if not dangerous, I must admit that this is indeed an 'everybody wins' weekend. Sony had the top two films, with one setting a record and the other merely opening in line with realistic expectations.
Won't Back Down focuses on one way people have fixed the problem and created a decent learning environment for children who didn't have that option previously. Let's face it. The poor performance records of so many inner city public schools don't come as a shock anymore.
Schools in the North are extremely segregated. And they were never desegregated in the first place. After living here for four years, I know now that most of the problems we are are talking about in education today stem from this one fundamental moral failure.
In recent weeks there has been heated discussion about the nature of the Goliath in Won't Back Down, but for me much of this debate tragically misses the point -- both of the film and of the issue itself: It's not about us. It's about our kids.
I saw Won't Back Down last week. The crowd loved it, and I might have liked it too, if I hadn't known why it was produced or been aware of the three big lies at the heart of the movie.
It's one thing when documentaries like Davis Guggenheim's Waiting for 'Superman and Madeleine Sackler's much better The Lottery look at problems in public education and offer some solutions (such as charter schools).
Can a feature-length movie help promote the reform of our schools?
Even though the national consciousness has been raised regarding issues related to education and folks are more engaged and informed than ever before, the efforts to misinform, malign, and muddy the truth remain.
Oh Viola, you brighten up our day!

We are about to get some wild, seasonal gyrations to the jobs numbers, and I think you will be well advised to know about them in advance.
A large part of our economy is moving online more rapidly than most people and governments realize. According to ComScore, a marketing data research firm, online sales leapt by 15% to $35.3 billion during the last November-December holiday period, an all-time high.
I speak from a position of authority here as I happen to run one of the most successful financial sites on the Internet, which I kicked off four years ago with a $500 investment.
Much of this migration is being captured by FedEx and UPS, the nexus at which Internet commerce meets the real world. After all, virtual products require a real world delivery. This explains why the couriers are seeing a booming business in an otherwise flat economy. FedEx (FDX) hired 10,000 temporary workers to deal with the last Christmas surge in 2012, a gain of 18% over the same period the previous year. UPS added a stunning 55,000, a 10% increase.
Watch for the other shoe to drop. That will become apparent when that the newly hired become the newly fired, leading to a sudden and rapid deterioration of the jobs data. This could be the information the stock market and other risk assets need to put in a top for the year. The scary part is that this may happen sooner than you think.

Three Years On!
The Friends of Mikey Powell campaign held a commemorative event on the third anniversary of his death in police custody.
Any news updates will be listed at the foot of this item
A hundred people heard an update on the campaign from Mikey's cousin, Tippa Naphtali. In September 2003 the police were called to a disturbance at the family house in Lozells, Birmingham, where a distressed Mikey Powell had smashed a window.
Tippa explained, "Mikey was knocked over by a police car, sprayed with CS gas, handcuffed and restrained on the floor. Mikey wasn't taken to hospital. Instead he was taken to Thornhill Road police station in a state of semi consciousness or unconsciousness. Within two hours of being arrested he was dead.
"Ten police officers faced trial in relation to Mikey's death. The case lasted 13 weeks. All ten officers were acquitted on all counts. Now that's a familiar story. We've heard it before. There are families here tonight who've been through it before. "But tonight we want to concentrate on Mikey. We're not just here to grieve at the parting of a family man, a righteous man, a law abiding man. We are here to celebrate his life."
This was followed by poetry from Makola Mayambika and music from Yaz Alexander, The Tribunes and Princess Emmanuelle. The event was also a launch for the new Injustice CD, which will be reviewed in next week's Socialist Worker.
This event is to help raise funds for a follow up to Injustice – the film that details cases where people have died in police custody. It had been intended to show the film, but the original venue had pulled out after a phone call from the police.
Tippa told Socialist Worker. "Now the campaign is widening. We are running a website (www.4wardever.org) to offer a place for families to find out about other campaigns and get help to publicise their own cases."
The campaign is also involved in establishing the Family Advisory Support Trust aimed at assisting those affected by deaths, mental or physical abuse in police, prison or mental health institutions, and to campaign locally for reform. Tippa is worried by police procedures regarding people with mental health problems, "Mikey should have been taken to a designated 'place of safety'.
But in Birmingham this means a police station rather than a hospital. Cuts in health funding have made the situation worse. "In some parts of the country the police will not attend an incident involving a person who appears to have mental health problems without being accompanied by a mental health professional. "The Police Federation complained at the £7 million cost of the investigation and trial. If money had been invested in health support then that would never have arisen."
He added, "We intend to go on being a pain in the arse to the police and wherever there is injustice. We are run by families for families and we are not going away."

Hi everyone,
I'm a new member and have been doing some research. I've done quite a few searchs but can't quite find the answer I'm looking. I bought a 2002 Wrx Wagon in march.....and I'm loving it. I'm looking to get that nice growl out of my exhaust. I'm on a limited budget and I don't want to void the waranty that I got when I purchased the car.
So far I removed the silencer from the intake and intalled an sti muffler. It changed the sound (slightly) ....but it's not what I expected. I don't want to go to crazy because i know that this can become quite expensixe. So I was thinking of removing the resonator from the stock exhaust and just replacing it with some 2.5" piping. Has anyone done this.....and will it bring me closer to the sound I'm looking for. After that I'm thinking of gutting the stock up pipe and maybe changing the downpipe to one with a high flow cat. My goal is to get the sound I'm looking for......and doing what I can with what's already there. I'm not really going for hp gains, although an hp gain might be a result of these mods.
So right now it's the sti muffler + the removal of the resonator. Afterwards gutting the stock up pipe, and installing an aftermarket down pipe with a high flow cat (used if possible). And later on after the warranty is done possibly a tuning.
What do you guys think.
Thanks in advance... any advice will be welcome

Bargain hunt
On Sunday evening I checked the auction web site, the price realised for 'my lot' was below the figure I'd put on the form – I must have won!!!! Hurray!!!! So on Monday I collected my bargain buy . . .
. . . a couple of tatty old picture frames . . .
containing two Japanese woodcuts :-) I'm chuffed to bits! (it doesn't take much)
The first one is by . . .
Hiroshige! Well, probably it's Hiroshige II (1829 - 1869) or Hiroshige III (1842 - 1894) – not the main man Ando Hiroshige (now that would be amazing). Hiroshige II was the talented pupil of Ando Hiroshige who became his master's adopted son and married his daughter. When the couple divorced Ando Hiroshige's daughter married another pupil of the master who took the name Hiroshige III. The confusing thing is that all three artist's signatures are very similar! Lot's more research is needed!
In the background of this print is a crowd standing on a bridge watching a firework display. I love the woodgrain texture across the night sky and the sense that the crowd is brightly lit from behind.
In the foreground a woman (I think?) crouches in a covered barge – why is she hiding? I wish I could read Japanese and translate the title! It's so clever how the hair is printed first in a translucent dark grey and then a solid black. That little wisp of hair at her temple is so cute, is it to show she is slightly dishevelled? And the way the fabric pattern is printed is gorgeous.
The second print is a bigger puzzle. There is a note on the mount saying it is by Yoshichika – an artist I can find little about. Prints I've found purporting to be by him have a signature which don't match this . . .
The scene of sumptuously dressed ladies walking by a river in which there are half naked men, is cheeky and extremely decorative. I'll have to get the title translated and find out what it's all about! There is so much going on in the design, the detail in the fabric patterns is awesome – amazing skilled work.
A bargain!
Postscript: 18 December 2008
This is what I've discovered so far:
The first print is most likely to be by Hiroshige II, the apprentice and adopted son of Ando Hiroshige. He carried on the master's great themes and scenes and produced high quality work but not designs of great originality. The signature, mid right, is definitely 'Hiroshige' but this was used by all three 'Hiroshiges' at some point in their careers. However the style of the signature panel and the lozenge seal seem to be that of Hiroshige II 1829-1869.
The subject is a popular one for printmakers: watching fireworks on the Ryogoku Bridge and from pleasure boats on the river below. Beautiful women in the pleasure boats is another favourite. My hunch is that this is the central panel of a large triptych, as this is is the central part of the boat. Stylistically I would think this dates from about 1860. Each of the three prints would have the title and signature and stand alone as a design – of course the chance of all three images staying together and in good condition for 150 years is slim so a complete set would be far more valuable! But it's a lovely image by a well known printmaker. I would guess the title refers to the Ryogoku Bridge, pleasure boats, beautiful women, fireworks, or something of that ilk!
The other print, showing a grand lady and attendants beside a river is supposed to be by Yoshichika. But I can't find out much about him – his signature is shown lower left but I haven't been able to check this against an authenticated print. I found a reference to an artist called Ichi Yoshichika 1787 – 1872 and a note saying nothing more is known about him!
But I love the depiction of different textile designs and the 'Onna norimono' or noblewoman's palanquin
great reference for one here. The title of the print, top right, might refer to a woman by name with her attendants and bathers. Or it may refer to a well known story of the time.
With a bit more delving I hope to find out more!

um...WOW!!! What a fantastic find! We went to Japan earlier this year and loved everything about it. The prints are fabulous - a really interesting period and my jaw dropped when I read the name...even number III is impressive.ReplyDelete
Fabulous fine, I especially like the final picture on the blog. I would definitely find room in my cluttered abode for that one!ReplyDelete
These are stunning, what great pieces you've found. It's these kinds of stories that fuel 'the thrill of the hunt!'ReplyDelete
So exciting finding a bargain! And you have a good eye too! Those are wonderful.ReplyDelete
Auctions are SO exciting, even leaving a bid which I've done once or twice. It seems to me that those prints have ended up in the perfect place, with someone who is knowledgeable and who will love them. We'll wait to see how much they influence your work ... ;)ReplyDelete
The people on the bridge watching the fireworks... Beautiful. Simple, but beautiful.ReplyDelete
Well done you! I love Japanese woodcuts and yours are a treasure.ReplyDelete
How wonderful! They are beautiful!ReplyDelete
Oh, oh, oh so exciting. What delight to find these woodcuts! If you like, I will ask my Japanese brother-in-common-law to translate when I see him at Christmas.ReplyDelete
I saw "Hiroshige" and thought "Blimey! Celia's got a bargain here!"ReplyDelete
And, indeed, you have. I'm sure someone in the Baren Forum will know more. But whatever transpires, you have two beautiful pieces of work.Fancy someone "bunging them in a couple of tatty frames" like that!
(And thankyou for showing them to us! Now could we see a picture of your new boots, please?)
Wow! Well done you! Amazing finds...I love the people watching fireworks too, so cute!ReplyDelete
New to your blog, glad to have stumbled across it! What a lucky break, those are lovely.ReplyDelete
Researching all you can about a Japanese print is like reading a good book - you find out all sorts of things - I've added notes to my original post.ReplyDelete
Original Japanese woodcuts aren't difficult to find and if they are in a general auction, rather than a specialist oriental art sale, they can be picked up relatively cheaply. They were mis-labelled in the catalogue as 'hand-coloured prints' so an on-line search for woodcuts would have missed them ;-)
Hi Celia,ReplyDelete
It's been many months since you published this article, so you may have obtained all the answers by now.
We have a friend in Cambridge who speaks (and presumably reads) Japanese. He would love to do some research for fun if you still need more info or confirmations. Just let us know.
Danny & Fiona
You probably already have this information from the internet, but if not it may be of interest to you.ReplyDelete
I love reading all the comments (except for spam and advertising which I will delete) and I'll reply here in the comments under each blog post, it may take a few days if I'm busy.

…and here is the long listed poem that I'll be reading on Friday at Covent Garden (yikes!) weather permitting, of course…
Hobgoblin Trees
See the way the shadows flee,
on a face turned to the sun,
arms outstretched, hobgoblin trees
reach for skies soul-darkened, done.
Spring will come as come it may,
see the way the shadows flee
anemone attention.
Frost, a pale, earnest ballet,
arms outstretched. Hobgoblin trees,
battered now by wind, by tongue,
lengthened in season's decay.
See the way the shadows flee.
Water stretches wild and fey,
frozen edge tiptoes away,
arms outstretched, hobgoblin trees.
See the depths old frost descends
with his face turned to the sun,
see the way the shadows flee,
arms outstretched, hobgoblin trees.

Sharon Wauchob was playing it tough for Edun's fall 2013 collection; a molotov cocktail of studs and chains, leathers and plaids (the punkish kind more so than the traditional kind). But as hard as all that may sound, she whipped it together with a sort of cool nonchalance that was almost soft in the middle, and – for both men and women – very much hitting a note of what any off-duty boy or girl would want to wear.
Look out for Wauchob's particularly clever play on '90s grunge: plaids executed in a high shine finish, which works well on both a one-shoulder dress and slim-cut pants.
You can see all of the Edun autumn (fall) / winter 2013 runway collection by clicking on a thumbnail on the left. From there you can browse through each of the pictures from the fashion show.

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer Mid Tower Chassis Review
Description: A couple months back I took a look at the Cooler Master Test Bench V1.0, but it seems like it has been a while since I had a look at a case from CM. The last couple of cases I looked at were the HAF-X, CM690II and the Storm Sniper. The Sniper had some very cool features and a style all its own, keeping most of what made those cases a success while adding a fair bit of individualism to this new concept. Aesthetically this case looks like no other I have seen and almost looks like the case is in motion with the rounded design and stamped in designs in the steel.
Kingston X58 Triple Channel kit 2250Mhz Cas 9 Review @ Madshrimps

I have a bit of an updated home-made procedure on what to look for - and where to look for vacuum leaks on the M54 engine... this is based on my experiences with my 2000 E46 330i Manual, but may be of help for other M54 engined cars.
Parts required are:
- 3.3mm Vacuum hose, part # 11657803732 (order a metre of it)
- 7mm Cap for an unused vacuum port, part # 11611727176
- 3.5mm Cap IF you don't have the air pump (see below), part # 11611437560 (you may need a couple of these, see below).
Tools required are:
- Torx sockets (size unknown, sorry), 10mm socket, screwdrivers & a penknife for cutting stubborn old vacuum pipes off.
First thing to do is to remove the cabin air intake tray - twist the three fasteners to remove the pollen filter cover, then remove the pollen filter, then undo the 4 torx headed bolts holding the intake tray in place. At the front of the tray, you will see a cable channel - unclip the cover (it just pops off) and take the 2 electrical cables out of there. Then just lift the air intake up & forwards to remove.
Next go to the passenger side of the engine compartment; the rear compartment houses the DSC unit on my car (the did change later in 2000). the side wall facing the engine is plastic; undo the 2 fasteners, slide the cables out of the top of it, then remove the panel completely. It's a tight fit, but just yank it up.
Next, underneath the air intake tray you just removed, there will be 2 torx screws holding a black panel in place - remove them, and then remove the panel itself (gives you a view of the interior ventilation fan - and more importantly allows you access to the rear of the engine). You need this removed to see / feel the vacuum hoses at the back of the engine.
Then remove the ridged bolt covers to the fuel rail cover on the top of the engine, and remove the 2 10mm bolts underneath. Take the cover off.
Now you have a reasonable view of the top, rear & rear passenger side of the engine - and the engine will still run in this condition.
You could, at this stage, start the engine & listen really closely to listen for hissing, but the engine is a noisy thing anyhow, a little hiss is normal. You could also try the carb cleaner trick, spraying it on the vacuum hoses, but this has never worked for me...
here goes...
If you have the air pump thing on the drivers side of the engine, follow the output pipe from this. A larger pipe goes to a valve on the drivers side of the engine (part 1 on the diagram below); then it enters a 3.3mm sleeve pipe for about 100mm before joining a harder smaller pipe which leads round the back of the engine before joining to another 3.3mm pipe which joins to the electric valve, No.5 on the diagram below. The 3.3mm pipe sections mentioned above are prone to splitting, so replace them one at a time.
From the electric valve, there is a vacuum pipe that connects the electric valve mentioned above to the inlet manifold, and has a one way valve in it (part 6) as the pump blows air into the engine. Replace the hoses in the same way as above.
Not all M54 engines have this air pump (it pumps air into the inlet mainfold to make for cleaner cold starts); if you don't have it, you will have a small blanking cap at the back of the manifold. Replace the blanking cap (3.5mm one) as they perish / split over time. In theory, this system is one-way (valve is No. 6 on the diagram) but replacing the pipes is no bad thing anyhow.
Beside the above connection / blanking cap, there will be a bigger vacuum cap (7mm) - replace this too, as they're even worse for splitting / perishing.
Next, there's a 3.3mm vacuum line going to the vacuum reservoir located very awkwardly next to the starter motor. This vacuum reservoir provides a constant vacuum (if required) for the exhaust flap IF you have one. Mine is disconnected, so I stripped out this hose & plugged the port on the inlet mainfold. However, if you want to keep the thing in operation, replace this hose too with the 3.3mm vacuum hose. If you don't have the vacuum reservoir / flap, replace the 3.5mm plug like for like (part no. 11611437560).
You should be able to complete the above jobs in under 2 hours including removal of parts to gain access.
The last tip I'll give you may prove a winner....
Under the inlet manifold, tucked away above the throttle body, is the oil separator valve (cyclone, CCV, whatever you want to call it). On older models, this had a vacuum hose attached to it, the other end of which was connected to the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail at the top front of the engine. This diagram shows the valve, the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator being part # 6:
The M54 engine saw the fuel pressure regulator change positions, and it was integrated in the fuel filter underneath the car. As BMW didn't want to develop a whole new oil separator valve, they simply capped the redundant vacuum port with a blanking cap. So part 6 on the M54 cars is a blanking cap, which again can split, and should be replaced where possible (difficult access ) by part # 11611437560. Real OEM & dealers are unclear on this, so trust me
Under the fuel rail cover, which you've removed, inspect the pipes which lead from the oil seperator valve into the inlet manifold - the long pipe running parallel to the fuel rail is notorious for splitting - it's lagged to protect it, but they go brittle over time & split. Listen closely in this area with the engine running This pipe should be replaced as part of the oil seperator valve renewal anyhow (part 7 on the oil seperator valve diagram above), but can be replaced on its own easily enough.
If you still fear you have a vacuum leak, the remaining components to test / replace are the main inlet pipes leading from the air flow meter to the throttle body & idle control valve, which may split, particularly on the bellows between the main pipe & the connection to the idle control valve. In addition, the main vacuum hose which connects from the intake manifold to the brake servo should be inspected. If in doubt about the integrity of any vacuum hose, swap it over for a new one.
I hope the above information is of help Sorry its a bit picture-light, but I hope it explains the theory behind the vacuum system, and might help you pinpoint that annoying leak, which is generally most prevalent at low revs (revs bouncing under load).

Improving Face Wrinkles
There are a few different approaches to improve the quality of your skin and decrease the wrinkles. In your case, The most effective approach is laser resurfacing. I prefer a CO2 fractionated laser. This will remove some of the outer layer and result in new refreshed skin. The foundation of your face that supports the skin can be improved with fat transfer. The areas where the underlying muscles contribute to active /action wrinkles can be improved with relaxants such as Botox or xeomin. You can pick one or all of these approaches to seek improvement.
Treatment of sleep wrinkles on face
The wrinkles that you have on your face from sleeping are fairly superficial. The treatment of superficial lines requires a procedure that will improve the surface of the skin, which surgery generally will not do. A laser treatment or chemical peel would be options to help improve your lines.

London's rank-and-file police repeated their call for Andrew Mitchell to resign today, leaving his Cabinet post hanging in the balance.
Metropolitan Police Federation chairman John Tully said the Chief Whip "blighted" the careers of two officers by denying he called them "plebs".
The pressure mounted before a meeting at 5pm between Sutton Coldfield MP Mr Mitchell and leaders of the West Midlands Police Federation, which is calling on him to give a frank account of what he said.
No 10 was still standing by Mr Mitchell, saying David Cameron had "full confidence" in him. But Tory MPs said that if tonight's talks turn into another embarrassing media scrum, the Prime Minister could sack Mr Mitchell for becoming a political liability.
Mr Mitchell has admitted losing his temper at two police officers who refused to open the Downing Street gates for him to cycle through. But the incident has turned into an argument over whether he called them "f***ing plebs". He denies it, but the officers wrote a report, which was leaked, claiming he did.
Mr Tully said: "I stand by my call for him to resign. It's unacceptable for anyone, let alone a Cabinet minister, to behave in the way he is alleged to have done. I have no reason to doubt the officers' word."
He added: "By refusing to accept that what was reported was said, he was implying the officers were lying. That has serious implications for their careers. If they could not be trusted to give evidence in court, for example, they would be blighted."
Mr Mitchell was understood to be under no pressure from the Prime Minister to fall on his sword. But the Evening Standard revealed yesterday that Francis Maude is being tipped as a replacement.
A friend said the Chief Whip would "reiterate his 100 per cent support for the police" at the talks with the federation and apologise again for what he admits was unacceptable behaviour.

Sowed these from seed in April 2012. Made lovely plants that flowered profusedly. Overwintered in a cold greenhouse but left some outside in containers, they are even better this year. Excellent value
By helen wilkinson 13-06-2011
I think every single one of the 200 miniscule seeds has germinated. I have more tiny plants than I know what to do with. I mixed the seeds with sand before sprinkling over the surface of seed compost. Even then there are far too many, too close together to grow on well. Have been pricking out but they are difficult to re-plant with such tiny roots. Don't know what the answer is but they were certainly value for money!

Long gone are the days where you have to be a certain size, look a certain way, or be a certain age. All of that is old news. I was lucky enough to speak with Mo Zhou, PR and Social Media Coordinator for Vancouver Fashion Week. Mo provided her insights to Vancouver Fashion Week and the hot style trends for fall.
It is easier to add than it is to take away. Start with small amounts and gently blend until even along your jaw line, face and neck. A great trick if you have your blouse or top on is to drape a towel around your neck, so the foundation doesn't flake on to your top or blouse during the application process.
Recently, I spoke with Kimberly Soane, Director of Artistry at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Kim was one of the Bobbi Brown PRO artists who worked backstage at several New York Fashion Week shows. She has done it for several years and has worked with all kinds of lashes. Kim shared with me her hot tips on how you can get the most from your lashes.
