Fashion headbands are one of women's favorite fashion accessories. You can wear them from birth all the way through to your golden years. There is no end to the possibilities with fashion accessories like headbands. You can go chic and subtle with solid color fashion headbands or opt for something fun and flashy like a feather headband or even traditional polka dots! When wearing a simple solid color ensemble fashion headbands can completely finish off everything with a hint of spice like a designer inspired print or a beautiful striped fashion headband. Jelly headbands are also all the rage and it's no surprise why.
They come in multiple colors and many, many different designs. The best thing about the jelly is that is stay exactly where you put it and holds your hair perfectly in place. Scarf headbands are a good option in the fashion headband category as well. It can be impossible to tie a scarf in your hair and actually keep it in place. We have a solution for that! The scarf headband has an elastic band at the back that gives you stretch so you can get it perfectly in place and the elastic is hidden in the back by your hair! The tails stretch out below your hair and give you that retro look without looking like you're dressing up in a costume.

Alice Cooper slams young rock bands for becoming 'really boring'
Rock singer Alice Cooper has slammed young rock bands for becoming "really boring".
The singer hit out at modern male groups saying they are too sensitive and "afraid" to be themselves, and he has been left particularly unimpressed by their stage shows in contrast to their female counterparts such as Lady Gaga.
Speaking at Q magazine's annual awards on Monday, Cooper – real name Vincent Furnier – told BANG Showbiz: "The girls seem to be the only ones doing theatrics, the guys have taken a back seat when it comes to that, Lady Gaga and the others just seem to be more creative when it comes to the stage shows.
"The guys have become boring, really. It just seems like young rock bands are afraid to be young rock bands. There's a lot of thrust missing from rock 'n' roll. I don't know why, everyone's trying to be very sensitive. In the 70s the last thing on our minds was sensitive."
The 64-year-old singer also hit out at the "lumberjack" dress sense of rock bands today as well as their songs, which he believes should be made up of lyrics about girls rather than current affairs.
He added: "90% of rock bands wear corduroy on stage, with little beards and they look like they're lumberjacks. And they sing about how much they hate oil. That's not rock n roll, they should be singing about boys and girls - that's always what it's been about. Or if they are singing about girls it's always, 'I'm so sorry I was bad.' Quit being sorry!"
Alice also took a swipe at the religious beliefs of The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers - who is a Mormon - as when asked if he was referring to the Mr. Brightside hitmakers, he replied: "The Killers are great, for Mormons!"
Mormons are a religious and cultural group who believe in Jesus Christ and don't drink alcohol or take illegal drugs.
Alice Cooper as a band was famous for their outrageous performances, some using weapons, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, snakes, and creepy baby dolls.
Their legacy has spanned over four decades, with Cooper taking the band's name as his own.

Flash flooding impacts southern Colorado
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Monsoon fueled thunderstorms brought severe weather and flash flooding to much of southern Colorado Monday (7/14/14).
A Flash flood warning was issued for parts of El Paso and Pueblo County through the evening.
The first sign of severe weather was a funnel cloud that was spotted near Lamar at around noon.
Rain and hail began to pummel Woodland Park and the surrounding area late in the noon hour.
The first flash flood warning of the day was issued shortly after 1 p.m.
Highway 24 was closed between Manitou Springs and Cascade for most of the afternoon as flash flood warnings were issued, cancelled, and then quickly reissued.
A handful of homes along Fountain Creek in Green Mountain Falls were evacuated voluntarily because of rising water.
In Crystola, a bridge near the Wishing Well Motel was washed out and in Manitou Springs business owners tacked up plywood barriers and stacked sandbags in front of their stores, just in case.
As is typically the case when a flash flood warning is issued for the Waldo Canyon burn scar, the Red Cross opened a shelter at the Historic Congregational Church in Manitou Springs. It has since closed.
Chris Sawyer lives in Manitou Springs. He said Fountain Creek rising is never a good sign.
"This is a great place to bring your family and kids, now we're looking at flooding again and it's not the best thing to see," he said.
John Rutledge is visiting Manitou Springs from Tokyo. He said the heavy rain didn't ruin his vacation with his family.
"We're staying positive through the bad weather," he said.
As the storms spread across El Paso and Pueblo Counties they brought a deluge of rain, flooding streets on the south side of Colorado Springs and the north side of Pueblo. I-25 was underwater near the Eagleridge exit in Pueblo at one point during the storm.
A KRDO NewsChannel 13 viewer posted a video of rushing water. She said it was cutting off traffic on Platteville Road in Pueblo West.
As the storms moved east and grew stronger they brought a new round of flooding to areas that were hit hard over the weekend. In eastern El Paso County, 3"-5" of water reportedly flowed over Peyton Highway while another viewer says hail damaged his home near Ellicott.
StormTracker 13 Meteorologist Rachael Plath says flooding rains will continue to be a concern on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our banks might be weaning themselves off the volatile foreign bond markets but Australian companies are finding that, even in turbulent conditions, a global approach to funding has its advantages.
"We are finding pockets of liquidity in emerging markets where funding isn't as impacted by global headlines," HSBC's head of debt capital markets Sean Henderson says.
"These markets offer a haven when headlines in Europe and the US impact funding costs and offer a useful alternative for Australian companies," Henderson says.
China's flourishing "dim sum" bond market is now on the radar, as is the Canadian Maple market, where Sydney Airport raised $225 million in seven-year bonds.
Then there's the Swiss "fondue" market, which is being touted as the next attractive funding destination. Meanwhile the local corporate bond market is growing in relevance.
Melbourne Airport had no problems placing $600 million of debt to long-term US life insurance funds in the US private placement market on June 23, a particularly choppy week for global markets.
The rise of these niche markets is broadening corporate Australia's funding options. But it's the depth of the US 144A public bond market and the European bond market which has absorbed almost two-thirds of the $35 billion of Australian corporate bond issuance over the past year.
Here, local companies are benefiting from Australia's relatively strong economy and a global repricing of corporate debt relative to banks.
"We've seen a real sea change. Investors have moved towards corporates relative to banks as they're perceived to offer less risk," RBS's head of corporate debt capital markets Stephen Hughes says.
"Markets have been offering quality corporates more competitive cost of funds and terms than can be achieved through bank financing," Barclays Capital managing director Tim Lindley says.
He points to a recent US bond issue by BBB-rated
This has included several resource companies that have tapped an investor mood for riskier debt. With government bond markets operating at close to zero interest rates, a hunt for yield has ensued.
"For a lot of international investors, it's very difficult to invest in an investment grade corporate or bank and generate a real return above long-run inflation. Wesfarmers' bond is a good example, paying 2.98 per cent, whereas US inflation is running above 3 per cent," Lindley says.
"That's why there has been a huge increase in high-yield bond investments. Buyers just need something with a real positive return and are attracted to 7 to 10 per cent coupons."
In Europe, too, yield-hungry debt investors are financing Australia's most ambitious energy projects by providing "quasi equity" in the hybrid market.
Despite weak equity and credit markets in early June, Deutsche Bank director Mozammel Ali said interest was strong. "Both Australian issuers and resource-related companies are well regarded by European investors and Origin fits perfectly into this category."
The hybrids of Origin and Santos have reawakened companies to the potential of hybrids to provide non-dilutive equity, Ali says. "There is an increasing willingness by Australian corporates to contemplate hybrids as the potential ratings, accounting or tax benefits are now more clearly defined."
And corporate hybrids had been shelved as a funding because of the poor health of global markets.
"The European hybrid market was effectively shut from the back end of 2007 until late 2010 but since then we've seen an explosion," he says. "Since September last year we've seen over €7 billion of hybrids issued in the European market and almost $US6 billion [$5.7 million] of hybrids issued in the Asian market."
There are signs, however, that the coming months will prove far more challenging for Australian corporates, especially targeting the yield hogs.
After two years of solid returns, the heavy inflows to high-yield bond funds have reversed in recent weeks as investors grow nervous. And if the bond markets push up borrowing costs of profligate governments, yield might be easier to find.
Lindley says: "If we enter into an environment where base rates rise significantly, there's going to be a reduction in the level of demand for high yield as investors will be able to get an adequate return from investment grade credits."

NID Board Recognizes Retiring General Manager
GRASS VALLEY -- Directors of the Nevada Irrigation District on Sept. 26 hosted a retirement presentation for retiring General Manager Ron Nelson, who has served as the district's chief executive for the past decade.
Members of the elected board were joined by NID's management team, employees, members of the community, water industry associates, and Nelson's friends and family members for the standing-room only ceremony.
Among the 20 speakers were Nevada County District I Supervisor Nate Beason, who lauded Nelson's commitment to the community; former president of the Association of California Water Agencies Paul Kelley, who presented a proclamation from the association; and Becky Nelson, Ron's wife of the past 46 years, who recounted highlights of his life and 33-year career in the water industry.
NID Board President Nick Wilcox cited Nelson's "enormous contributions" to the district. "You have moved the district to a higher level and laid the groundwork for us to go forward and move to an even higher level," Wilcox said.
Nelson joined the district in 2002 after serving for 22 years as general manager of the Central Oregon Irrigation District in Bend, Oregon. He retires as NID general manager on Sept. 30 and will serve as the district's manager of special projects until year's end.
The board approved an agreement with Assistant General Manager Tim Crough to serve as interim general manager until Nelson's successor is on the job. An executive search is under way and selection of a new manager is expected by year's end.
In other business, NID directors:
• voted to terminate a lease agreement, effective Jan. 1, for the NID house on the shores of Scotts Flat Reservoir known as the "Ditchtender's Cabin." Board members commended local businessman and former recreation concessionaire John Hensley who has leased the property for 35 years. Director Nancy Weber said Hensley has been a good neighbor and steward of the property. A future public use of the site is under study.
• approved two measures related to use of Combie Reservoir. Directors agreed to extend consideration for dock permits to an additional 11 parcels that are contiguous to the district's reservoir property, bringing the eligible total to 132 parcels. The district follows a permit process as one way of controlling the numbers of boats using the small reservoir.
• adopted a policy resolution that encourages military veterans to apply for employment with the district.
The next regular meeting of the NID Board of Directors will be held at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the NID Business Center in Grass Valley. NID board meetings are open to the public.

So, what do we do? Since I'm an investor in Lucent, I'd like to analyze the company myself. Let me go through my thought process and see if you all agree with me. First, in a Drip investment, we're in for a very long haul. In my case, I'm making investments monthly in Lucent, and have been doing so for several months. Temporary problems that may affect a company for a year or so can be seen as buying opportunities. So, an announcement of revenue shortfalls might not be such a problem for me as a Drip investor.
I started by doing some research at Lucent's website. It was fascinating reading about the company's products. I found that Lucent is the leading provider of networking solutions to ISPs. It provides items like Voice Over NetworX, which allows ISPs to provide Internet telephony. I also see that data is growing at 300%, whereas voice is growing at 5%, and voice is going to be traveling over packet networks (or at least I think it is -- it's not a very good graph). Let's see where the money is coming from. Lucent's Service Provider Networks segment accounted for 62% of revenue in 1999. In products and services, Core Networking Systems accounted for 46% of the mix. Let's move on and see just what that is.
The Service Provider Networks segment is involved in "Broadband Networks, Access & Concentration Enterprise Systems, and Intelligent Network," to quote Lucent directly. I couldn't find what they consider Core Networking Systems. There are some pretty involved descriptions of the company's products in these areas, and it's a bit overwhelming trying to form a complete picture. However, after reading through product descriptions until my eyes watered, I found what seems to be a common thread: Lucent is involved in developing and marketing products that are bringing about the convergence of voice, data, and video. When studying companies like Scientific-Atlanta (NYSE: SFA), the analysis is rather easy since it provides equipment for one type of industry. With Lucent, we can find it providing products for industries as diverse as wireless access, cable, networks, and ISPs, which is a bit daunting.
What I don't like about Lucent's website is they go over their businesses, services, and products, but they never tie it together. For example, they present that Core Networking Systems is 46% of their product mix, but I can't find anything telling me what "Core Networking Systems" are. I can read at length about switches, optical networking devices, or whatever, but they don't say where these items are in the business. How do these things all add up in the telecommunications market? The company never gets there, it just provides a seemingly endless list of products with the technical descriptions. It's really interesting to me as an engineer, but it doesn't help me as an investor.
Let's look at the basic financials. In my admittedly limited statistical study of telecommunications, networking, and cable manufacturing companies, one area does seem to predict future stock price growth: the previous five-year revenue growth. The top 50th percentile of my backtest had an excess of 28% revenue growth in the previous five years. The sales growth rate for Lucent has been an anemic 14.15%, compared to 34.99% for its industry. Worse, its sales growth for the most recent quarter was only 0.64%, and the explanation from management was somewhat limited.
We can keep looking at numbers, but I find the lower revenue growth compared to other companies in the industry rather disturbing. I also am not comfortable with what occurred with the growth of inventory and accounts receivable. So, am I going to stop my Drip in Lucent? Am I going to sell my holdings? Right now, I am going to continue with my present course.
However, looking at the cold, hard facts, I feel uneasy about sending them money every month. Rising inventories and accounts receivables over time makes me anxious. Add this to the drop in revenue in the last quarter (with the lame explanation from management), and I really am coming to the conclusion that my funds could be deployed elsewhere more efficiently. It may be time to consider a company with an easier-to-understand business model, and numbers that look good overall.
Last week, Jeff Fischer wrote a very good column about how many of us are allowing technology to take control of our lives. I suggest you go back and read it if you haven't already. The technology that let me take my family this weekend to the beach and at the same time write and submit this column is also responsible for sucking us away from the "real world" that we live in. I had to fight the urge to spend hours on the message boards instead of getting out and into the ocean. Maybe it's time to turn off the cell phone, or disconnect ourselves once in a while from our cable modems. Let's use this stuff as our servant, and not become a slave to it.
It's time to pack up and check out of the motel, so I'll see you all in the Drip Companies board, and if you get a chance, join us in the new board, Building and Maintaining a Home. Until then, stay Foolish.

Steamboat's 11-and-younger team preps for Triple Crown
June 24, 2011
Steamboat Springs — The popping of hand to leather and the ping of ball to aluminum bat.
Is there a better sign that summer is here?
For a dozen or so players on the 11-and-younger Steamboat Storm baseball team, there certainly isn't.
On a picturesque Wednesday afternoon those dozen or so sugar-upped 11-year-olds were taking baseball serious.
"They're starting to take it seriously," said coach Pat McElhiney, who, along with Chauncey Cooke and David Reese, has coached the team this year. "They know it's coming."
It is another crack at a Triple Crown Mountain Magic baseball tournament. The team went 0-4 last weekend in one, but the losses include one by one run and two by two runs.
"I think we will do really well in this and we should have done really well in the last one," McElhiney said. "We could have won three games out of that and put us in that championship bracket. This week it's less teams."
The team plays at 8 and 10 a.m. Friday at Klumker Fields at Howelsen Hill and at 2:15 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Ski Town Fields.
In addition, the team should have a good chance this weekend to advance to Sunday's championship round. Last weekend, the tournament featured higher caliber teams from across the state.
Considering how close the Storm well to advancing to the championship round, this weekend should be much better.
"Last weekend we didn't play too well, but this weekend instead of a DII and I tournament we're in a DIII tournament," outfielder Davis Petersen said. "I have high expectations as long as we stay in the game and hit the ball hard. You know, just the basics."
Ah, just the basics. Wednesday during a two-hour practice it was obvious the team knew the basics and looked like an actual ball club. It hasn't been easy. Baseball in Steamboat never is.
But for the dozen or so 11-year-olds, this is the best part of summer. The team has played in 16 games this season with success against other teams on the Western Slope, but hasn't quite bridged the gap to the Front Range.
This weekend, however, they hope to change that.
"If we kept our head up we would have won (last weekend's) tournament," player Cale Reistad said. "If we keep our head in the game we can definitely win."

FAQ – CGI & Perl
- Can you explain permissions?
- What file permissions do I need for my CGI scripts?
- CGI-BIN and Perl scripts not working on my domain?
- Where do I put my CGI or PERL scripts?
- Do my CGI scripts need to be in the "cgi-bin" folder?
- I am having a problem with my CGI script. What do you advise before logging a support ticket?

- Where can I find server paths used in my CGI or PERL scripts?
- Which script i need to use for my Formail application?
- Why am I getting the "Internal Server Error (500)" message?
Q – Can you explain permissions?
A – Owner = the files users (you)
Group = the files group
Others = Others
Permissions Definitions:
r = read access
x = execute access
w = write access
Numerical Definitions:
r = 4
w = 2
x = 1
You will come to recognize, if you do not already, Chmod is a word used for changing Permissions from within Telnet or your FTP client. Some scripts will tell you to chmod 775 (for example). When using the numeric system, the code for permissions is as follows:
4 + 2 + 1 (rwx) = 7
The first number applies to Owner, the second number applies to Group, and the third number applies to Others. Therefore the first 7 of the chmod 775 tells Unix to change the Owner's permissions to rxw (because r=4 + w=2 + x=1 adds up to 7, this giving the Owner Read, Write, and Execute Permission. The second 7 applies to the group, this giving the Group Read, Write, and Execute Permission, and the last number 5, refers to Others (4 + 1= 5), giving Others only Read and Execute Permission. The permissions for chmod 775 look like this:
Permissions are always broken up into three groups of letters, however if there is a dash, this dash simply means that Permission weren't given for that particular function. For example, in the chmod 775, Permission to Write was not given to Others.
Remember: the first 3 letters always apply to Owner, the second 3 apply to Group, and the third 3 apply to Others.
Q – What file permissions do I need for my CGI scripts?
A – CGI scripts must be set with executable file permissions, otherwise requests for the script from the web server will result in an "Internal Server Error".
Scripts that need to be executable should have their permissions set at chmod 755.
This sets the file's permissions so that the file's owner may read, write, and execute the file, and anyone else can only read and execute it.
Q – CGI-BIN and Perl scripts not working on my domain?
A – There are lot of reasons for cgi and perl scripts to not work.
You can do small tests on your cgi-bin.
Please see below steps:
1) Create a test.pl file in notepad or any text editor with following code:
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "Cgi-bin and perl test ";
2) Upload the script to the cgi-bin folder in ASCII mode
3) Set the test.pl permissions to 755
4) Type http://www.yourdomain.co.za/cgi-bin/test.pl to test the script.
If you can see the message "Cgi-bin and perl test" then your cgi-bin and perl scripts are working fine on your domain.
You need to check your scripts, permissions and upload mode. All these are very important to run successful scripts.
If you are still getting errors then please log a support ticket at http://www.dothehosting.com/contact-us
Q – Where do I put my CGI or PERL scripts?
A – All .cgi and .pl can only be executed in "cgi-bin" at this time. You can find the "cgi-bin" folder in "public_html" folder.
Q – Do my CGI scripts need to be in the "cgi-bin" folder?
A – Please see "Where do I put my CGI or PERL scripts?"
Q – I am having a problem with my CGI script. What do you advise before logging a support ticket?
A – When I activate my CGI program, I get back a page that says "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error or mis-configuration and was unable to complete your request."
This is generally caused by a problem within the script. Check your script settings again to see that you have entered the correct server information and have set the correct permissions for the script. If this information is correct, you'll need to contact whoever wrote or is distributing the script for further assistance.
I am being told "File Not Found" or "No Such File or Directory"
Upload your Perl or CGI scripts in ASCII mode, not binary mode.
When I test my Perl script in local mode (by Telnet), I get the following error: "Literal @domain now requires a back slash at myscript.pl line 3, within string. Execution of myscript.pl aborted due to compilation errors."
This is caused by a misinterpretation by Perl. You see, the "@" sign has a special meaning in Perl; it identifies an array (a table of elements). Since it cannot find the array named domain, it generates an error. You should place a back slash (\) before the "@" symbol to tell Perl to see it as a regular symbol, as in an email address.
I am getting the message "POST not implemented."
You might be using the wrong reference for cgiemail.
Use the reference /cgi-bin/cgiemail/mail.txt.
Another possibility is that you are pointing to a cgi script that you have not put in your cgi-bin directory. In general, this message really means that the web server is not recognizing the cgi script you are calling as a program. It thinks it is a regular text file.
Q – I uploaded my CGI script. How do I execute the script?
A – Before executing cgi scripts you need to follow the below steps to avoid any errors:
- You need to upload your script to the "cgi-bin" directory.
- Make sure you upload them in ASCII mode.
- Change permissions to 755 for the script (chmod 755).
You can then access your script via http://www.yourdomain.co.za/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi
Note: You can't run CGI or PERL scripts when your domain is under propagation.
Q – Scripts that are banned on the servers.
A – The following scripts are banned for use on the servers and may not be uploaded or executed. Reasons for banning them include adverse effects on server load, invitations to hackers, spammers and criminal activity and more.
IRC egg drops
Proxy servers
Mail bombers
Anonymous mailers
Optin Lists
Mass Mailing scripts
IP spoofers
Port scanners
UBB (Ultimate Bulletin Board, all versions)
Ikonboard, Yabb (all versions)
FormMail.cgi, FormMail.pl from Matt's Script Archive are not allowed. See Here
Greymatter (gm.cgi)
Cgi/Perl Content management systems like Moveable Type ( mt.cgi ).
Shell, SSH, Telnet Scripts and Shell, SSH, Telnet Alternatives.
Any script that uses & processes a massive number of flatfiles or large flatfile databases.
Q – What is SSI? and how do I use it?
A – Server Side Includes (SSI)
When using a UNIX/LINUX system it is sometimes necessary to enable certain HTML file executables for the purpose of using SSI. SSI is often used to run a cgi script. An include is called with an example such as the following:
After you insert your include, you must mark the HTML file as executable so the server will parse the file. This is done using the two options below:
- Renaming the file to .shtml: Any file name with the extension .shtml on the server, will be parsed. So, instead of having an index.html file, you would name itindex.shtml. This is the easiest way of enabling 'includes'.
- CHMODing the file to 777: With CHMOD 777 you can also mark a file as executable. It is important to only make the files which you want parsed executable. This poses certain security issues, as well as a strain on our resources, as the processor has to work harder to parse a file.
Reasons for Using SSI
SSI is often used to include something into an HTML page. You can insert the contents of one HTML page into another page. An example of a practical usage for this would be to include your e-mail address at the bottom of each page. If you do this as an include, then when your e-mail address changes, you will only have to update it on one page and not your entire web site. Another usage is to call cgi scripts into action. Many counters, clocks, and other scripts are called using SSI. The command used will most likely be provided in the documentation of your cgi script.
Q – Where can I find server paths used in my CGI or PERL scripts?
A – Perl path (version 5.8.7): /usr/bin/perl
Absolute path for your html files/scripts: /home/username/public_html/
Absolute path for your cgi-bin: /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/
Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
Date: /bin/date
Java: /usr/bin/java
Whois: /usr/bin/whois
Python: /usr/bin/python
Q – Which script do I need to use for my Formail application?
A – You can download bnbform.cgi from here. Bnbform.cgi is very easy to setup and more secure than many other scripts. Install the bnbform.cgi on your site as per the installation instructions.
Q – Why am I getting the "Internal Server Error (500)" message?
A – Internal Server Error (500) errors are usually something wrong in the syntax of your script. You should check to make sure you have the path to PERL correct. Currently we are running Perl5 on the servers.
See "Where can I find server paths used in my CGI or PERL scripts?" for the most common paths needed for CGI & Perl scripting.
Other most common reasons are:
- Wrong syntax in your cgi script.
- Wrong file permissions, chmod 777 world read, write execute is most common error. Try chmod to 755
- Wrong file path. See the correct format here.
- Cgi Script was not uploaded in ASCII mode.

Solenoids, water intrusion, and reuse
Hi all,
I'm a first-time-poster with a question about solenoids and water intrusion. I have a rather fancy septic system that uses hydraulic pumps to pump greywater into my yard. This system has a hydraulic unit that contains valves that are opened/closed by a microcontroller using solenoids much like this one:
http://www.bermad.com/data/uploads/I...20Actuator.pdf (Bermad S-390-2W)
Since the hydraulic unit and these solenoids are outside (covered, of course), the components are subject to rain and, occasionally, one of these solenoids will go "bad" (presumably because of water intrusion) causing a fuse to blow in my system's control box.
My question is: is there any reasonable chance that I could just disconnect one of these solenoids, bring it inside to dry out for a few days, and then reuse it? Or is it the case that once they are blown, they are done for good? I realize that the answer may depend on the circumstances, but I am curious to know if it's even reasonably possible that one of these could be reused because they are rather expensive.
Do you have a way to measure ohms? You could remove the wet/bad solenoid, measure the ohms, dry it out, them measure the ohms again. You have two values on the solenoid. Voltage and watts. Using ohms law the good solenoid should read approximately 340 ohms depending on temperature. When you find a bad one, measure it (ohms) and make note of the value. Allow it to dry and see if it returns to the acceptable ohm reading. I am almost sure they are shorted out and need to be replaced. You could always look into a better made solenoid. Good Luck.

I just started using nutritional yeast (complete protein source)
This stuff is great on popcorn!
Singing the praises of nutritional yeast
By Elizabeth Brown
April 25, 2009
While hiking in Vermont, I stumbled upon this quaint little movie theater in Montpelier. They serve popcorn made with real butter, sea salt and this yummy, flaky, cheesy flavored stuff sprinkled on top.
It was 1996 when I first learned about nutritional yeast and I have been singing its praises from the mountain tops ever since. I also recommend visiting the actual Von Trapp lodge in Stowe, the inspiration for "The Sound of Music," but I digress.
I really do tell everyone about the wonders of nutritional yeast. "You should try nutritional yeast on your popcorn!" I always say. And with a look of both intrigue and fear they reply, "What is nutritional yeast?"
Even though I've been putting it on popcorn and mixing it into food and beverages for years, I never really answered that question intelligently and succinctly. I would usually say something like, "It's this stuff that tastes kinda like parmesan cheese. It's loaded with B-vitamins,
and it's a complete protein
Then they'd usually say, "Well, that's not a very appealing name, nutritional yeast. You need a better name."
Although people don't like the name, it really tells you a lot about what I consider a very under-acknowledged superfood.
Nutritional yeast is grown from yeast, a tiny form of fungi, like mushrooms but much, much smaller.
The "scientific" name for yeast is saccharomyces cerevisiae or sugar-eating fungus. Yeast cells use sugar for energy just like other living creatures.
Nutritional yeast, unlike yeast used in baking or making beer, is a deactivated yeast, made by growing it in a medium of sugarcane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast. It is candida albicans free, which means it can be enjoyed even by yeast sensitive individuals.
You can find nutritional yeast in the form of yellow flakes, my preferred choice. I like KAL and NOW brands. It's also available in a gritty form, similar to cornmeal, but I find this version has a more pungent smell and flavor that's a bit off-putting.
Nutritional yeast is available in bulk. While I advocate bulk foods, I don't recommend nutritional yeast in bulk because it's the richest source of the B-vitamin riboflavin, and riboflavin is sensitive to light. This is especially important for vegans and vegetarians who exclude milk and yogurt, the next richest source of riboflavin, from their diets.
Nutritional yeast comes in fortified or unfortified forms. The unfortified version, although lower in B-vitamins, is an excellent source of iron and all of the B-vitamins with 35 to 100 percent of the daily value for all B's except B12. B12 is found in highest concentrations in seafood, red meat and fortified cereals. Nutritional yeast is a must for those who follow a vegetarian, whole foods-based, gluten-free diet.
Two tablespoons of fortified nutritional yeast flakes, the serving size on the nutrition facts label, contain 60 calories, 5g carbs, 4g fiber and 9g protein plus beta-1,3 glucan, a type of fiber that may aid the immune system and help to lower cholesterol. Additionally, nutritional yeast is a good source of selenium and potassium. Fortified nutritional yeast has significantly less iron than the unfortified kind, five percent versus 20 percent respectively. The B-vitamin content in the fortified form ranges from 150 percent for B12 to 720 percent for riboflavin.
If you follow a vegetarian diet, you might want to buy both the fortified and unfortified brands and mix them in order to receive ample amounts of iron and B12 and ward off any potential types of anemia.
Since your body can only absorb so much of any one nutrient at a time and since you need B-vitamins dispersed throughout the day to help your body convert food to energy, I recommend adding just a teaspoon of nutritional yeast to foods at each meal. One teaspoon mixes easily into any food or beverage, costs only nine cents and provides 10 calories, 3/4 gram of fiber, 1.5g of a complete protein, 50 to 100 percent of your daily value for all B-vitamins plus some selenium and iron.

Yeast Meets West
Yeast is considered by many to be the most valuable supplement available. It is a complete protein and contains more protein than meat. Yeast is an excellent source of B-vitamins including B12 and it contains the glucose tolerance factor that helps in the regulation of blood sugar. It is a single-celled fungi present in the air around us and on fruits and grains - it converts various types of sugar to alcohol. The earliest recorded use was in 1550 BC in Egypt. But it is only during the last few decades that the outstanding health benefits of nutritional yeast have been researched.
Raised On Molasses
Nutritional yeast is grown on mineral enriched molasses and used as a food supplement. At the end of the growth period, the culture is pasteurized to kill the yeast. You never want to use a live yeast (i.e. baking yeast) as a food supplement because the live yeast continues to grow in the intestine and actually uses up the vitamin B in the body instead of replenishing the supply. (Brewer's yeast is nutritionally the same but as a by-product of the beer-brewing industry it has a characteristic bitter hops flavor).
It's Good For Ya'
Nutritional yeast contains 18 amino acids (forming the complete protein) and 15 minerals.
Being rich in the B-complex vitamins, it is vital in many ways and particularly good for stress reduction. The B-complex vitamins help make nutritional yeast such a valuable supplement, especially to the vegetarian. Yeast, though technically a fungus, is considered a vegetarian food, since yeast cells do not "have a face."
One element of yeast is the trace mineral chromium, also known as the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF)
. This is necessary to regulate blood sugar and is important for diabetics and people with a tendency toward low blood sugar.

Botox is the first like of defense in our office for this area. We usually have the patient come back in 10 days to evaluate the result. If the lines are very deep and have been there for a long time we might consider a filler. One must be very careful when this is done as there are, (fortunately), rare but possible complications.
Can Juvederm Ultra 3 Be Injected into the Glabella Lines?
Doctor Answers 12
Fillers in Glabella Lines
Web reference: http://www.jjrothmd.com/face-and-skin/injectables
Two Pronged Approach.
The lines that develop in the glabellar region are caused by the corrugator facial muscles. These muscles are ideal for treating with Botox. However, if the lines are significantly deep enough, using a filler like Juvederm works quite well.
Not in US yet
This product has not been approved for use in the US. But we do have Juvederm Ultra XC or Juvederm Ultra Plus XC.
Web reference: http://www.mirrormirrorhouston.com/juvederm

Yes, Juvederm works very well in glabellar lines.
Juvederm works well with or without Botox in the glabellar lines. A skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon understands how to safely perform these filler injecitions.
Fillers in Glabellar Creases...
Having a filler injected in the Glabellar creases is doable however, it is not FDA approved. It is done often if the creases are deep to help fill, as an "off label" use. I always recommend Botox injections on the same visit for best results and to help relax the muscles (the corrugators) that cause the verticle wrinkles.
Hope this helps.
Dr. Grant Stevens

Juvederm in the Glabella
Glabellar lines are caused by dermal atrophy from hyperactive muscles in this region. The best treatment is a combination of Botox and Juvederm for deep lines. You should first have Botox injected and observe the result for 2 weeks. If they lines do no completely resolve, then consider having Juvederm Ultra injected under the lines to help soften their appearance.
Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
IMHO fillers should not be injected into the glabella
There are reported cases where fillers, injected into the Glabella, have pinched off the vein traveling in the glabella. This results in skin slough and scar formation in the center, of the forehead, the size of a quarter. Best, IMO, to use Botox in the Glabella for this reason.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Fillers for glabellar frown lines
I have abandoned fillers in the glabellar lines after seeing two patients complicated by intravascular embolization/occlusion/ischemia. The complication is extremely rare, but if you do enough injections, it happens. I prefer Botox for this area.
JuveDerm can certainly help glabellar lines.
In the US, we don't have JuveDerm 3 but rather similar products of JuveDerm Ultra and JuveDerm Ultra Plus. The data shows that the combination of Botox plus filler works better and longer than filler alone (study by Carruthers in Dermtologic Surgery with 18 weeks of Restylane durability in the glabella vs. 32 weeks of durability if Botox was used to pre-treat the area). So, Botox or Dysport can be very helpful if used first to reduced the movement of the area, and then filler placed about a week later. The filler than doesn;t have the muscles working across it, so work better. The important caveat is that the glabella has blood vessels (supratrochlear artery and dorsal nasal artery) that could be compromised with filler injections, so it is imperative that fillers be used very carefully. Use of a hyaluronic filler is recommended, as the enzyme hyaluronidase is then available to potentially be of assistance in the case of vascular compromise. For safety purposes, use of low filler volumes and considering a few treatment sessions with a hyaluronic filler is commonly recommended.
Juvederm in glabella
Juvederm can be injected in the glabella lines but I would recommend starting with Botox first. Botox will help soften the lines and prevent new ones from forming. I would recommend going to a doctor - facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist - who is experienced in injectables to perform either procedures - especially if you have Juvederm placed in the area. If not done correctly, there can be serious complications. Either way - Botox and Juvederm are both used routinely to correct these areas and I'm sure you will be very pleased with your results.

December 2004. I am standing in front of a mirror at my mother's house. I came in here to wash my hands, but then I caught sight of my face out of the corner of one eye, and now I am unable to drag myself away. What I see is awful. It is as if everything that has happened to me in the last few weeks - my father has just died, and I'm temporarily homeless - has suddenly revealed itself in my face. I've always had strong features but, in this liverish light, they look to have been fairly etched on to my face; it is as if someone has drawn me in charcoal. My eyelids sag. My chin sags. My mouth turns down feebly at both corners. I look tired and old - and not at all the kind of tired and old that a good night's sleep can wipe away. How did this happen? Why, I wonder, did I have to change on the inside and the outside at the same time?
December 2005. I am a lot happier. Lots of good things are happening in my life. But still, I am thinking about my face. Although it looks better than it did a year ago, I cannot deny that some of the changes I noticed then really did turn out to be permanent. Mostly, I avoid looking in the mirror, but when I do, it is sometimes - quite often, actually - my father who greets me. The mouth is smiley again, and this helps the chin. But the eyes remain weary. When I put on eye shadow, it disappears, only to reappear in ugly, greasy lines. I have taken to using Clarins Beauty Flash, a nifty skin brightener, in such industrial quantities that, in the event of a power cut, I would be highly useful. I am not obsessed with my face - I was brought up to believe that vanity is a first sign of moral collapse - but I do wish that it would better reflect how I feel, which is energetic and driven and quite preposterously hopeful.
Then a few things happen. Events. A friend calls me and tells me that she saw a certain high-profile writer of our acquaintance on a television programme the other evening. 'She's definitely had something done,' she says. 'You can tell. She looks so good.' My friend sighs, and then adds, briskly: 'I was watching her, and I thought: I'm going to have to get something done. I just am. In my job [she is a high-powered editor], it's what you do.' The same week, I interview a surgeon for a piece I am working on about burns victims. At the end of our chat, I ask him if it doesn't infuriate him to hear women moaning about their crow's feet when those he treats are so much more badly off. To my astonishment, it does not. He tells me that there are grounds for making cosmetic treatments available on the NHS. All the studies show that the effect even a minor cosmetic procedure can have on a person's quality of life is amazing - far higher than, say, a hip replacement. I argue the toss, but he makes me feel as though I am being silly, and rather disapproving.
Finally, the editor of this magazine asks me if I would be interested in writing about cosmetic dermatologists - about the fact that every rich woman now has one, just as she has the new Chloé bag, and that these men (for they are still mostly men) can make dramatic improvements to their patients' faces in the time it takes to eat lunch. I agree to do it for three reasons. First, because I've always been against such things on feminist grounds. I no longer actually wear the dungarees I favoured as a student, but I'm still a dungaree wearer at heart. I mean, I was in my thirties before I had a leg wax. Second, because the words of both the plastic surgeon and my friend are stuck in my mind; the climate is changing to the point where fiddling with one's face is almost, if not quite, normal, and I'm intrigued. And the third reason? Oh dear. What a mass of contradictions I am. The truth is, I'm still worried about my own face - although, naturally, I don't admit this to myself at the time.
So, I make some appointments. My first stop is Wimpole Street, to the clinic of Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh. Sebagh, who is French, is famous for using Botox (botulinum toxin) to paralyse the facial muscles, and thus cancel out the wrinkles, of some of London's most beautiful and well-known women. The clinic is small, but it feels an expensive kind of a hang-out; I find myself wishing I had worn heels rather than scuffed Camper trainers. Sebagh is in his fifties, with grey, curly hair. His face, however, is cherubic: plump and juicy-looking. Does he use Botox himself? 'Of course! I use everything on myself!' We talk for a while. When it comes to our skin, gravity is against us, he explains. But Botox helps, by encouraging muscles not to pull ever downwards. Then he pulls my hair gently back from my face. 'But you - you do not need ze Botox! You have good skin.' And in the future? He shrugs. 'Maybe.'
This is weird. I should be pleased but, oddly, I am not. It is the word 'need' that is troubling. No one 'needs' Botox - it is not food or water or penicillin. But people can benefit from it, assuming smoothness is a benefit. I'm one of these people. I am nothing if not a realist. I know that my skin is only moderately good for a woman my age (I am 36); I habitually frown when I'm concentrating, and on my forehead I have a stubborn groove to prove it. Botox could have been invented to fill a groove like that. Yet Sebagh, having gamely defended his professional life against my hairy sallies, has now sent me off into the night without so much as a warning to wear sunscreen (though he is pleased I'm not a salad pusher; nothing, he tells me, has a more detrimental effect on a woman's face than yo-yo dieting, or excessive skinniness). I can only conclude that, thanks to my 'views', he is giving me a wide berth.
A few days later, I go to see Dr Nick Lowe, at his clinic just behind Oxford Street. Lowe is a senior lecturer in dermatology at University College, London, and clinical professor of dermatology at the UCLA School of Medicine in California. He is also the author of several books, including, most recently, Away With Wrinkles. The Cranley Clinic is where he does his private work. It is quite chintzy: not at all 'medical' in feel. On the walls, however, are framed articles from all the many magazines in which he has appeared - a sign of the rather forthright attitude Lowe has to his work (this is, perhaps, a legacy of the time he spent working in the US, where many dermatologists are household names with their own lucrative skincare ranges). In one of these, Sally Brampton, a former editor of Elle, celebrates her conversion to Botox at his hands; Anne Robinson is quoted as saying he can take 'years' off a woman. In general, he is acclaimed as a miracle worker.
I am quite suspicious of miracle workers, but I rather take to Lowe. He has a booming voice that I find unexpectedly reassuring. Plus, although he uses Botox himself, he is fairly wrinkled (I think he is in his late fifties) - not at all the stretched figure I'd conjured in my dreams. There is not much point in asking him where he stands on the ethics of cosmetic dermatology; he is its greatest advocate and, when I spoke to him once before, years ago, he seemed almost mystified that I should think it in any way dubious. So instead, I cut to the chase. What does he think, just by way of an example, of my face? He smiles. I have a feeling that he rather enjoys all this - lady journalists turning their faces to him in hope and expectation. He takes such great pride in it all. He asks me to hop up on to a couch, and shines a bright light on my face. Then he picks up a Dictaphone, and begins talking into it, working his way down from my eyes to my chin. The talking goes on for rather longer than I would have liked, and it's a litany of doom and bagginess.
'General examination of face,' he says, into his machine. 'Superficial sun damage with early redness; some thread veins in nose and cheeks; areas of lentigo, particularly right periorbital and left lower cheeks. Forehead folds with dropping of the brow as a result of overemphasis of the depressive brow muscles. Lower face, she has fairly prominent nasolabial folds and melomental folds.' In plain English, he means that I have a few brown patches on my skin - I call them my liver spots, but he tells me not to do this; sun spots is a better (and nicer) description - plus a fair few droops and lines. Everything is travelling south. Any good news? Well, I am 'very' free of crow's feet. He meets my eye. 'But you should wear a good sun screen,' he says. 'That'd be a start.'
So what could he do for me? Lots, it seems. 'Treatment would be to start on skin-lightening creams and microdermabrasion for the skin surface texture and early sun damage. Superficial or mid-strength peels would also help. Botox would be very effective, producing a reduction of the central frown lines as well as elevation of the brow. Nasolabial folds and melomental lines from the right angle of the lips would be improved significantly with the appropriate filler: Perlane or Hydrafil. For the lower face, where there is early lower-facial sagging with jowls and loss of neck definition, the use of a radio-frequency skin tightener would be effective. For the thread veins, the vascular laser would be effective. For creams: Retin-A plus a lightening cream every two nights to the face together with a moisturising eye cream the night she does not use the Retin-A. For the prominent sunspot on the outer right eye area, the use of the ruby laser would remove that lesion.' He tells me to go home and have a think about things: if I later decide that I want to have any, or all, of these treatments, I can make an appointment.
It is difficult to describe the effect all this information has. Part of me thinks it is a hoot. This morning I looked in the mirror and I was... fine. Three hours later, and it would appear that I was simply blind to my own faults. I tell my boyfriend what Dr Lowe said, and he is dismissive. I'm not worried by such things, am I? No! I say. Not at all. He is absolutely right. It is ridiculous. It's absolutely bonkers. And so on. But another part of me, a part I am less proud of, is thinking about Dr Lowe's hands moving carefully over my face. It would be nice, wouldn't it, to entrust myself to his care, to get him to freshen me up? No one need know. I could say I'd been on a particularly luxurious mini-break. But no! This will not do. I go and stand in front of a row of worthy feminist tracts. I finger their tatty spines lovingly. Then I give myself a damn good talking to. I mean, what would my mother say?
Still, I have a piece to write. In the interests of research, I take myself off to the Lister Hospital, in Chelsea, to see Dr Andrew Markey. Dr Markey teaches at St Thomas's Hospital, but the rest of his time is spent here, in private practice. Markey is more open to debate than Dr Lowe and, amazingly, has even read all the feminist books, from Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth right through to Nancy Etcoff's Survival of the Prettiest. Does this mean that, deep down, he worries about the nature of his work? Not at all. But he will admit to concern about the 'atmosphere' at present, where it is impossible to open even the most downmarket magazine without reading about Botox parties. 'It's enormously distressing,' he says. 'The people doing these things are not optimally trained, and using one technique in isolation is not enough. People see these treatments as products rather than procedures. But they're hugely operator-dependent. People have no idea that by changing the face a teeny bit, you can alter the way it reflects light, and thereby completely alter your appearance.' In other words, it takes skill and expertise to do these things properly. Merely having a fridge full of, say, Botox, is not enough. And for that reason, done right, it is still very expensive - whatever the glossies tell you.
Talking to Markey is interesting. For one thing, my experience - that my face doesn't reflect how I feel - is a common one, and a major motivating factor for his patients. 'Many people feel 30 but look 45, so there's a kind of dissonance going on, a mismatch. Patients will tell me: "People keep saying that I look angry when I'm not angry." If you use Botox in a clever, subtle way, you can take away that angry look and that can have a profound effect on the way people interact with you. Now, you may say that I'm reinforcing insecurities. But my patients are extremely motivated, tough, professional women. They aren't doing these things to shore up an insecure ego; they want to make the most of themselves. They want to give themselves an edge in the marketplace. If you're in the media, it can be useful to look that bit younger.'
Eighty-five per cent of Markey's patients are women, and young women at that: in their late twenties and early thirties. Is this because they believe that these minor treatments have a prophylactic effect - that by investing in them now, they can avoid having a full facelift in the future?
'Minor is an emotive word,' he says. 'Nothing is minor when it is happening to your face. But it is true that they can have a prophylactic effect. If you retard certain muscles, you can then stop the ironing in of certain lines. I strongly believe they have a preventative role.' But what, then, about the danger of addiction? Having become used to their 'new' faces, do people crave change more and more, and end up, as a result, looking odd? 'It happens in a subset of patients. Surgery can be a manifestation of dysmorphia. But it doesn't happen in my practice.' Finally, Markey tells me that he is of the opinion that the first £1,000 any woman spends on herself should go on a haircut, and a session with a make-up artist. 'Is that immoral?' he asks, rather crossly. 'Should they feel bad about that? No. Well, on one level, what we do is just an extension of that.'
Oh, it gets to you, this stuff. I tell my editor about the work I've done, and she says that, if I can bear it, I should have something done in the interests of research. I, in turn, agree: doing so would make the piece much better. But there is something else going on here, of course: I have an excuse to experiment, and a handy all-purpose get-out clause should anyone accuse me of selling out. I look at the list of treatments Dr Lowe recommends, and their possible side-effects. Finally, after a lot of thought and anxiety, I decide to ask him to give me a little Botox, and to get my biggest brown patch lasered away. Total cost: around £500. I will also use any creams he prescribes. But there it will end. I will then monitor the results. I will see who notices, and who compliments. I will note my own reactions. This will be revealing. I feel guilty, but also rather excited.
Having the Botox injected is less painful than having my eyebrows plucked, especially since an anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand. The ruby laser, meanwhile, is noisy - like the slamming of a metal door - but more or less pain-free. The Botox takes about seven days to begin working. Treating the brown patch with a laser results in a scab, which takes about five days to disappear. I am also given a prescription for a tube of Retin-A, which I'm to use before bed every second night (Retin-A is used to treat acne and aged, sun-damaged skin), plus some cleanser, sunscreen and eye cream. He shows me my 'before' Polaroids, in which I look like Eileen Wuornos, the serial killer, and cheerily sends me on my way. I am to come back in a week, for a check-up. A small percentage of patients don't respond to Botox, but in my case, he is hopeful. I will do 'very well'. I hope he is right.
A week later, and my forehead, at least, is showing signs of change. The aforementioned groove has gone - completely gone - and when I frown, far fewer lines appear on my forehead than before, though the effect is wholly natural. I do not look at all frozen. Similarly, there is a pleasing upturn to the corner of my mouth (he injected Botox in the lower part of my face, too). My brown spot, meanwhile, has all but disappeared, even if the skin underneath is still red.
The thing that seems to be having the biggest effect, however, is the Retin-A. My skin is a little dry, but it is incrementally improving in other ways; it looks clearer, less craggy and clogged. No spots! The cleanser is marvellous. I have always been extremely wary of 'products' - I am a soap-and-water girl. This stuff, however, really works. I cannot quite believe how squeaky-clean it makes my skin feel. I use the sunscreen, even though the sky is gun-metal grey, but I do not - as is suggested - put it on the back of my hands. I'm not ever going to be that neurotic. Of course, the big question is: do I look less tired? Am I refreshed? Do I look, in fact, a touch younger? I'm not sure. The trouble is, of course, that you quickly forget how you used to look - and this, it turns out, is one reason for the grimacing Polaroids.
How do other people react? Not at all, is the answer. No one - no one - notices. One person tells me that I look well, but at the time, I am sitting in a dark pub nursing a glass of red wine, which always seems to give my skin a temporary evening glow. Not even my boyfriend says anything. Well, he notices the scab, and I explain why it is there, but he doesn't say: 'Hey! What happened to all your wrinkles, beautiful?' I am relieved about this, but also slightly mystified. Why bother at all if no one notices? Or is it supposed to be a secret pleasure, like wearing sexy underwear even when you are just sitting alone at your desk? The person who does notice the difference is Dr Lowe, when I see him a few days later. He is delighted. So delighted, in fact, that he puts a little more Botox into my chin, to deal with those premature jowls. He still thinks I should have a filler like Perlane injected in the lines round my mouth - this would last up to a year - and asks me to consider it in the weeks before my next check-up. But yes, I am a Botox success story - at least for the three or so months until the effect begins to wear off.
So where does all this leave me? I will try and be as honest as possible. First of all, these procedures work. The wrinkles and blemishes do go, and this takes very little time, is pain-free and, crucially, safe. (Though some treatments may have knock-on effects on other bits of your face, which may mean you end up correcting things that weren't even a 'problem' in the first place.) How much does it improve your quality of life? In my case, not that much. I guess I was not so old-looking as I had imagined, which means any changes were always going to be slight. Plus, I've never been a particularly vain person. When I worked on a fashion magazine, my boss took me aside and said: 'You should wear more make-up,' advice that made me laugh out loud. But I do like the fact that I look softer. I would be lying if I said otherwise. On the other hand, I am now newly aware of other women's faces. In the last few years, I seem to have interviewed lots of women with wonderful arched brows, and I have always marvelled at this, wondered at their luckiness, described their beauty in covetous detail. Now I know better; I'm adept at spotting the 'refreshed'. It's almost an obsession, and it's very depressing. Nothing is as it seems. Famous faces in which I used to take great pleasure - I had better not name any names - now irritate me. I feel, I suppose, as though I have been conned.
Have my views changed? Will I do this again, off my own bat? This is where it gets more difficult. I tell a friend that it disturbs me that the world will soon divide into grapes and raisins - the smooth rich who inherit the earth, and the crinkled poor, who may as well be invisible. It is too unfair. She accuses me of being a Marxist which, in a way, maybe I am. But I also despair at the fact that age - wisdom, if you like - is so little valued. I would not want to do anything to devalue it further. And I hate the way that it is still women, and only rarely men, on whom this technology impacts. Why are men so often considered to improve as they get older - to look more distinguished and sexy - while we feel as though we had a sell-by date tattooed on our foreheads at birth?
And yet, and yet... of course, I worry. I'm human. Let's, for a moment, put aside the fact that I would need to find £2,000 a year in order to keep my face 'up-to-date'. I cannot help but think about how nice it would be to look younger for longer, of how this might affect my work, even my relationship. Would it give me an extra weapon in my armoury? I have a hunch that it would. Perhaps this is why, ultimately, I'm writing this - as an insurance policy against sacrificing my principles. Because, in spite of all that science has brought us, in our muddled way we still value authenticity. We prize the 'natural' over the artificial; that goes for vegetables, and it goes for faces. This is why people lie, why they only rarely admit to what took place on the dermatologist's couch. They want people to put it all down to good genes. Had I not outed myself like this I, too, could have lied. As it is, that will be tricky. My friends will be looking out for extreme smoothness - and quite right, too.

Is Securing EMRs really that important?
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are gaining in use and popularity throughout the healthcare world. We can benefit a lot from EMRs in terms of sharing information between doctors, hospitals, and even across state lines. And updating the information becomes a lot easier and timely. But the question I raise today is not whether EMRs will make an impact in the future or not, but rather do EMRs really need to be protected?The purpose of EMRs is to share medical records more readily with other health professionals. So, if the idea is to share this information more openly with others, will securing those same records make it more difficult to share? My opinion is that securing these records really is that important, and that by securing these records, it will be easier to share -with the right people. But what happens if the wrong people access either accidentally or intentionally?If we're sharing the wrong information with the right people, or sharing the right information with the wrong people, how is the EMR going to help anybody? Wrong information can cause drastic consequences (was that A+ blood type or B-? ), and right information with the wrong people can cause identity theft, tabloid news, or even blackmail/extortion threats which we've recently seen in the news.It's imperative that we protect the information integrity, so that when shared with the right people, it improves patient care. Identity access rights, protecting stored records, and securing the information while in use are all part of the equation. The more these functions are automated and integral to the infrastructure, the more secure those EMRs become, and the sooner a person gets caught when trying to get EMRs if they're the 'wrong' person.Do you want your medical information shared with the wrong people?

They call and threaten, give NO information and threaten to have you arrested.
They can't as they are usualy in Pakistan.
If you never took out this loan ignore them.
Information is available online and scammers get it to scare you.
And NO they can't take your taxes either.
Tell them FUX YU and ignore them, I've answered about 50 of these exact same scams here, names change (On whim aparently) and they are Just assholes stealing from whoever they can threaten that is scared enough to cave.
Do they have an accent, and are hard to understand, if yes they're frauds.
Considering that you paid you can try notifying the FBI (I'm assuming you're American)
But probably they're long gone.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

They sent the same thing around in South Africa
Although I am sure SA's ones were a bit worse
Did you know it is actually illegal to die in the Palace of Westminster. Bit dodgy if you ask me - half the Peers in the Lords look likely to break that law any minute.
I wonder where these stats come from - maybe they are US figures. Obviously untrue fo rthe Uk, for a start you can't be an MP if you have been declared bancrupt.
Trying to find the exact same one that came out in SA
I suppose more to prove that they are a general hoax sent out by email so that we all think our governments are a bunch of illegal, worthless fraudsters (which they are).
With the media the way it is, do you really think that someone who is a defendant in a lawsuit, or who has been acused of spousal abuse and who works for the government could keep it quiet?
I don't think they CAN be bad now.
Freedom of Press means that any blip on their record is printed in bold for all to see. Any of the above stats would be thrown at us from all angles if they were true
But do you honestly think that those stats are correct for 3 completely differenet countries? Do you really believe that as of right now, I have seen 3 exactly the same (all emails) posted about 3 different countries, all claiming that 80% of any one particular countries government is basically filled with people like that?
Bit coincedental I think
I got the pretend US one off the internet.
Was looking for the pretend SA one though
Fascinating web site FB.
I must stop reading it and get back to work!
