Finding home remedies to whiten one's skin naturally may seem near to impossible but there are actually several different ways to achieving a lighter glow. First off if skin appears darken or more dull than before, it could be caused by:
- Too much exposure to the sun
- Stress
- Non-healthy lifestyles
- Or a long use of chemically enhanced cosmetics
So how can people go about rejuvenating their skin and prolonging a look that adds years to your glow instead of taking away? And without spending tons of money on doctor visits and possible chemical treatment sessions? Here are a few ways to use what is in your fridge to help make masks or pastes to ensure better skin.
It is a natural moisturizer and has bleaching properties hidden within its ingredients. With honey, treating age spots or even deeper acne scarring will be no problem. Here are two ways to treat your face while using honey:
- For a few minutes a day, apply pure liquid honey to your face and wash off with warm water.
- Now for making a mask that is ensure to lighten, take 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and honey, another teaspoon of powdered milk and one half a teaspoon of almond oil. After mixing together apply as a mask. The total left alone time should be anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. But be sure to wash off with cold water and you can do this every other day.
Aloe Vera Gel
Everyone more than likely has this in their fridge so it will stay cool and will last longer. This lucky gel can revitalize the natural skin color everyone was born with. So if anyone deals with uneven skin tone, try this out.
If anyone owns an aloe vera leaf plant, try cutting the outer layers around one of the plants leaves. Squeeze out the thick gel from the leaf, apply softly to your skin, leave for a good 30 minutes and wash off after with water. Try doing this for two times a day for two weeks.
Now this one happens to exist in the cupboard of individual's kitchens. Turmeric has some properties that many may not know about.
- Turmeric should be a part of the healthy diet, with a handful of benefits aiming at improving skin tone, melanin, and antiseptic – this is an overall idea of good complexion.
- First take the turmeric powder and milk cream creating a thick base. Apply this creamy thickness to your skin. Allow it to actually dry so leave it on for possibly half an hour. Then wash off with fairly warm water, and try this three to four times a week.
- Or one could mix two teaspoons of gram flour, one teaspoon of lemon juice; add in one half teaspoon of turmeric. This will turn into a mask, leave for 20-25 minutes until it is dry. Be sure to scrub off the dry mask when the sink is turned on to lukewarm water temperatures.
One more alternative is cucumbers. Remember seeing those women applying cucumber slices to their eyes…well they were up to something and they happened to be right.
First cucumbers happen to be for all skin types, so no worries there. Grating a cucumber to mix with honey and creating a mask is an effective way. After applying to the face and neck area, leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Then please wash off with cold water. Anyone can do this every morning and every night. Or slice up the cucumber, and place the slices directly over any darken spots on the skin. Leaving for a couple of minutes at a time, after removing wash that area of skin with lukewarm water. Try doing this up to twice a day.
As anyone can see there are remedies hiding all throughout the kitchen that can act as a rebuilding agent when it comes to a beautiful skin. If however you prefer a solution with little less effort, then make a simple decision and choose one product out of the lightening creams reviewed by the beauty expert.
No one wants to get sunburned but unfortunately it happens. And as people get older, dark spots appear and finding ways to ward off those pesky spots seems difficult. However, it truly is not. Even if dry skin occurs, try using the honey since it acts as a natural moisturizer. With these options repairing skin has never seemed easier.

They'll go up
Our Jake only had one ear up when we got him at 4 months of age. So it shouldn't be long! Looks like he is going to be a Big Boy!
You could always tape if you're worried. :)
Thank you was just a bit worried

They may permanently go up, but as a precaution, I would definitely recommend taping now. Regular breath-right strips (make sure they are regular, other kinds won't work) and eyelash glue work well.
Apply the eyelash glue to the sticky side of the breath-right strip.
Place two strips in each ear vertically, on each of the creases.
They tend to scratch them off, so you'll have to be consistent with reapplying them.
Thank you!!

My breeder told me that its perfectly normal for ears to not be until the pup hits 6 months, then they recommend tape. He said long coats take a little longer because of the hair behind the ears. I certainly wouldn't worry at 4 months.
Ideal time to do it is 3-4 mos. And there's no harm in doing it as a precaution if you want them up. I sure would/did. I had a border collie, with long hair as well. You will want to shave the inside fully and the outside of the back will help to take weight off.
I used tongue depressors, breathe right strips, and tear mender.
I agree with DJ. My bogey is 4.5 months. If they aren't up by then I use forms. Yes they can still go up on their own but the chances decrease after 5-6 months. Best results are to provide support by 5 months if they are not up and if it is important to you.
His right ear is well on it's way, I would be more concerned with the left ear.

Are the pouches recyclable?
At this time, our pouches are not recyclable. Despite the fact the they cannot be recycled, our pouches offer numerous environmental benefits over glass jars and other alternatives. Pouches have a lower overall environmental impact than glass (a 10% lower carbon footprint!), Tetrapak, and PET plastic bottles. They are lighter and more compact for transportation, and therefore cause less emissions; there is also significantly less packaging waste.
Despite these benefits, we are still concerned about the recyclability of our pouches and are continually working towards alternatives and up-cycle programs to help reduce the waste. The plastic caps are recyclable in most cities, #2.Back to FAQ

10 things we learned Wednesday from Patriots training camp
|08.15.12 at 11:30 pm ET
FOXBORO ' The Patriots held their third straight day of practice in full pads on the upper practice fields Tuesday. The team will hold their final two open practices of camp – and the season – on Thursday and Friday from 1:30-4. The team likely will be off Saturday, the same day Bruce Springsteen plays Gillette Stadium. Camp will break as the team likely will have a walkthrough on Sunday before hosting the Eagles Monday night at Gillette.
The biggest news was the return of Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and Brandon Lloyd to uniform practice. Gronkowski hadn't been on the field practicing since the preseason opener last Thursday. He had spent the last three days in sweats and a t-shirt. Hernandez hadn't practiced since shorts and shells on Sunday while Lloyd spent the last two days on the exercise machines.
With the roster still at 88 players, there were only 72 in full uniform as nine were in shorts and went through only conditioning exercises while seven were not spotted at all.
Among the seven not seen Wednesday were safety Malcolm Williams, fullback Eric Kettani, offensive lineman Matt Kopa, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, tight end Jake Ballard and defensive linemen Gerard Warren and Jonathan Fanene.
The nine players in shorts included Myron Pryor, Daniel Fells, defensive back Alfonzo Dennard, offensive tackle Markus Zusevics, linebacker Tracy White, safety James Ihedigbo, fullback Spencer Larsen and offensive linemen Kyle Hix and Sebastian Vollmer.
Here are nine other things we learned from camp Wednesday.
For the first time since hitting the practice field in shorts on Sunday, Logan Mankins was in full pads on Wednesday. His load was increased as he took more snaps in 11-on-11 drills, as well as agility drills. It's a positive sign that he has made positive steps each day this week, increasing his work load each day. "I think we all know and think that Logan is one of the tougher players on our team," Bill Belichick said earlier in the day. "We have a lot of tough guys, but he's got a lot of physical and mental toughness, no question about that."
Jabar Gaffney pulled up a bit lame, grabbing his right quadriceps after beating Devin McCourty on a 1-on-1 matchup in receiver-cornerback drills. Tom Brady lofted up a pass for the deep right sideline and Gaffney, who beat McCourty clearly, couldn't catch up and limped to the sideline under his own power. He was treated by training staff and seen by doctor Tom Gill before heading to the sidelines, where he spent of the rest of practice watching without his shoulder pads on. In what could be construed as a good sign, he did not leave the practice field until practice was completely over.
It was not a good day for the offensive line. Several times in 11-on-11 drills, players like Brandon Spikes and Rob Ninkovich broke through and plays were whistled dead as sacks. Lineman Darrion Weems took several laps for various transgressions. At one point, Tom Brady yelled at his offensive mates to hurry up to the line and get things together as they worked hurry-up offense close to the red zone.
While Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer were getting their reps with the first-team offensive line of Nate Solder, Nick McDonald, Dan Koppen, Donald Thomas and Marcus Cannon, Brady worked with the likes of Darrion Weems, Derek Dennis, Ryan Wendell, Dustin Waldron and Kyle Hill.
Brandon Spikes dropped back in coverage in early 11-on-11 scrimmage and knocked away a Tom Brady pass intended for Stevan Ridley at the goal line. It goes to show just how athletic the inside linebacker can be and the dynamic dimension he brings if he can stay healthy and remain on the field.
During 11-on-11 drills later in the day, Marcus Harrison, playing with the 2s and 3s on the defensive line, fell to the ground. He limped off under his own power and trainers worked on his left knee. He did not return to practice.
Defensive end Jake Bequette showed a power rush during one-on-one pass rushing drills. He is making solid progress and is certainly a candidate for more playing time in the coming 10 days as the Patriots play three games to finish up the preseason.
Jeremy Ebert fielded two punts cleanly during Thursday's win over the Saints but this week has been a rough go of it for the rookie. He fumbled for the third straight day, fumbling a punt on Monday and Wednesday while muffing a kickoff on Tuesday. Clearly, that's an area of focus and improvement in the coming days for Ebert if he is to make the team.
After spending most of training camp so far on the right side of the defensive line – the primary pass rush position – Chandler Jones got some pass rush chances from the left side on Wednesday. Clearly, the coaching staff wants teaching film on how Jones' technique may or may not differ if they switch him to avoid double teams on the right side or if they see an offensive line that is more vulnerable on one side than the other.

Tips & Tricks — Import Microsoft Office text into MicroStation without messing up the text height.
By Rick Sewell
Do your Excel spreadsheets ever import into MicroStation with the right text height? The answer from many MicroStation users across the country is a resounding "No!" Thus, these MicroStation users are forced to either manually type their text using MicroStation's "Place Text" tool with the correct text height or paste the text using one of MicroStation's "Paste Special" options (which does not even paste your text correctly formatted unless you paste it as a raster image which can never be edited) and then scale it using MicroStation's "Scale" tool. This process could take hours or even days depending on the amount of text that needs to be added to a design file.
Integrating Microsoft Office Importer into your workflow allows you to solve the problem of incorrect text height by allowing you to set the correct text height in the Microsoft Office Importer Settings dialog box. Once that's done, you can import spreadsheet and word processing data into MicroStation with perfect formatting.
MicroStation users frequently need to have text at an exact height when placed into a MicroStation design file. That's one reason why thousands of MicroStation users have adopted Microsoft Office Importer as their tool of choice for importing Excel spreadsheets and Word documents into MicroStation. Microsoft Office Importer allows you to set, among other things, the height of the text to be placed when you import spreadsheet and word processing data into MicroStation with perfect formatting.
How does it work?
Microsoft Office Importer looks at the point size of the font of the text in the source file (an Excel spreadsheet, for example) and assigns a user-defined number of MicroStation master units to each point. Larger or smaller text is then scaled based on the same ratio of number of master units per point of font size. For example, if you set Microsoft Office Importer so that each point of text size is equal to 0.5 master units, your ten-point text from a spreadsheet would be imported into MicroStation as five master units tall. If you were importing 20-point text, it would come into MicroStation as double that or ten master units tall.
How to set text height and width
In order for your text to look right, you have to address its width too. It's easy to set this in Microsoft Office Importer. Just follow the steps below. For this example, let's say that you wanted text to come in at a height of 0.5 master units and you wanted the text width to be 80% of the height. [Note: By default, Microsoft Office Importer sets the width of text to be 80% of the height. This is a fairly common ratio in the world of font-sizing. However you can change that ratio to whatever you like (see below).] The height that you specify will be the height that the tallest letter (text character) will be when placed in the design file. Usually this height is the same as the height of a capitalized letter.
- Push Microsoft Office Importer's <Settings> button on Microsoft Office Importer's toolbar. The <Settings> button is the one on the far right.
- Then choose the "Size" tab.
- If the height-to-width ratio is unlocked, click on the <lock> icon to lock the height-to-width ratio. Notice that, by default, it is set to a height of "1.0" and a width of "0.8" (as shown in Figure 4). By locking it at this ratio, any number you type in for height will cause the width value to change so that it's 80% of the height. [By the way, if you ever want a different height-width ratio, just unlock it, change the values in the height and width fields to whatever you want, then re-lock.]
- Next, type "0.5" in the "Height" field. Because the height-to-width ratio was locked at a height of "1.0" and a width of "0.8", the width will automatically change to "0.4" (80% of the new height) as soon as you press on the <Update> button.
- Press the <Update> button for the changes to become active.
- These settings will affect any new Microsoft Office Importer pastes in future sessions of MicroStation as long as you save the settings with "File | Save Settings" from the Microsoft Office Importer Settings dialog box.
- Press the <OK> button on the dialog box.
That's it! You have just set your text height and width to exactly what you want. Now do all your text imports with Microsoft Office Importer and all your text will have perfect formatting.

Date: February 22 2013
Firefighters have battled to contain a huge bushfire in hot and blustery conditions in western Victoria.
The 32,500-hectare blaze triggered emergency warnings after jumping containment lines near the Grampians early on Friday morning.
But the threat was downgraded to an advice message after nearly 300 firefighters and several aircraft fought to build and strengthen containment lines in hot and windy conditions.
The CFA says the fire, which was started by a lightning strike last week, has now destroyed two sheds, killed 60 sheep and burned more than 1500 hectares of private grassland.
The Henty Highway remains closed, but the Grampians Tourist Road has been reopened.
Relief centres at Horsham, Hamilton and Balmoral are now closed.
Temperatures in the low 30s and high winds are forecast for western Victoria at the weekend.

Christchurch police are seeking information on a series of fires in the Wainoni area early this morning.
Police were called about 2.15am when a resident reported an excavator parked on Buckleys Rd, near Bromley Park, had been set alight.
Police said the offender or offenders broke into a fenced area off the roadside to reach the machine.
The cab of the excavator, which was being used to repair sewers, was severely damaged by the fire.
About an hour later, a van and a car in Vancouver Crescent were set alight and substantially damaged.
Two further small fires were then set in a nearby garage but did not cause significant damage.
Police would like to speak to a man seen in Bromley Park near the excavator while it was still alight described as 16 to 17-years-old, Maori, approximately 155cm (5ft 1in) tall and of average build, wearing a dark grey hoodie and dark pants.
Police said while there was no evidence to link the incidents, the location and timing of the fires suggests the same offender may have been involved.
Anyone with information can phone Detective Gabrielle Thompson at Christchurch police on (03) 3637400, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Antique Rose Cut Diamond Heart Ring set in 14k and Sliver, European c.1860
Diamonds have long been associated with matters of the heart. Perhaps it is because they are resilient, like love? Maybe it's because, like love, they bring joy to those who gaze upon them? Perhaps it is because they are a physical manifestation of the incredible invisible world of light and color that is all around us, just like love!
This fabulous antique ring was hand made in Europe during the 1860's, most likely in Holland. The lively rose cut diamond is collet set in a silver mounting, a, spectacular foil backed, heart shaped stone which flashes golden sparkles of light with every turn of the hand. It is set atop a beautifully hand engraved elegantly tapered 14 karat gold ring and band. This gorgeous antique ring weighs 2.0 grams and is currently a US size 5.25 though it could be sized up or down several sizes by a skilled jeweler who does laser work. The rose cut diamond measures 5.5 x 4.5 mm across the top, however, because it is in a closed foil back setting it is not possible to measure the depth.
This amazing and romantic antique rose cut diamond ring would make a perfect one of a kind engagement ring, or spectacular right hand ring!

Planting the seed
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 04/23/12
For three days in March, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden was a hive of activity – and not just because of the early blooms and unseasonably warm spring temperatures in the 80's.
StoryCorps, the national oral history project, dropped in for a chat with three dozen friends of the Garden.
The chats – actually recorded interviews with 18 pairs of LGBG volunteers, donors, long-time patrons, and other members of the Garden family -- were a gift from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which recently recognized Lewis Ginter as one of the top museums in the nation.
Setting up their mobile recording studio in the reading room of the Garden's library, StoryCorps staff members collected stories about the impact of the Garden on community members, which will be archived at the Library of Congress and -- in the case of one yet-to-be-designated interview -- heard on WCVE Public Radio's Morning Edition.
Among the interviewees, noted LGBG spokeswoman Beth Monroe, were visitors who praised the Garden's merits not only as a play-date destination and the "go-to" place to bring out-of-town guests, but also as an educational hub and a refuge for people who are sick and suffering.
Guests who came during a serious illness, said Monroe, were effusive in their descriptions of the Garden as a place "of healing and solace and joy."
Another regular visitor, whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, takes yoga classes at LGBG and enthused about the Garden's role in renewing her spirit.
Chris Corsello, a 19-year-old man with autism, also took a turn with the StoryCorps interviewers. With the help of his aide, Lisa Watts, Corsello has been a dedicated volunteer at the Garden, assisting most recently with the tedious task of stripping leaves for a stick sculpture.
"The other volunteers have really embraced him," said Monroe. "And Chris represented the Garden when we received the IMLS award."
'That's just not right'
Perhaps no one, however, found the StoryCorps visit as gratifying as Betsy Saunders and Mary Mitchell.
Aside from Lewis Ginter and Grace Arents, the property owners who donated the land for the Garden, probably no one was more instrumental in the institution's founding.
In 1981 – when according to Saunders the Garden site was "just a tree farm for the city" – the two friends joined the Richmond Horticultural Society (RHS).
"Betsy's friend insisted we join [the Society]," said Mitchell, noting that even though the insistent friend died soon afterwards, the two women had already been hooked.
At an early RHS meeting, they heard how Lewis Ginter had left a plot of land to his niece, Grace Arents, when he died in 1897, and how Arents had converted a building on the site into a convalescent home for sick children from the city. When the convalescent home closed, Arents moved in with her companion, Mary Garland Smith, who acquired the property upon Arents' death in 1926.
In Arents' will, it was stipulated that after Smith's death, the city of Richmond was to develop the property as a botanical garden honoring Lewis Ginter.
Smith lived to the age of 100, dying in 1968, and the city of Richmond took possession of the property. Although city officials apparently considered plans for a botanical garden, nothing had been done in more than a decade -- to the dismay of local horticulturists, botanists, and interested citizens such as Mitchell and Saunders.
"We were very naive," recalls Mitchell. "We thought wills were always upheld. But this garden was left to the city with money, and the city didn't want to do [anything].
"The city didn't want to build a garden in the county."
Driving home from the meeting, the two friends discussed the idea of getting involved.
"Our children were grown and stable. We liked projects," recalled Mitchell, ticking off the reasons she and Saunders decided they should join the fight. "And I had just been to the Edinburgh botanical gardens -- similar size, great garden -- and I was thinking of that here."
But the most powerful motivator, they agreed, was that creating a garden was the right thing to do.
"Grace Arents' will left land and money; the bank had money accruing interest. And we thought," recalled Mitchell indignantly, "'That's just not right to break that will!'"
'I think you've got a case'
Banding together with other interested RHS members and citizens, Mitchell and Saunders helped form the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, Inc.
"It was a cause," said Mitchell, recalling a memorable meeting held in the unheated, empty Bloemendaal House (Arents' former residence) in the middle of January. "We were all sitting in overcoats and freezing." They hired an attorney, who had been a next door neighbor of Saunders.
"He told us," said Saunders, "I think you've got a case."
"We went to every garden club meeting," said Mitchell. "We wrote every botanical garden in the world, and they send slides."
Among the early groups they pitched were the Henrico Historical Society and an informal garden club that met at the home of Sharon Francisco -- a long-time Garden volunteer who was also interviewed for StoryCorps.
For their first fundraising cocktail party, they called 50 people. Nine came.
But Mitchell and Saunders kept chipping away, eventually garnering the support of such key patrons as Lora Robins, for whom the Garden library is named.
In 1984, a settlement was reached, and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden was chartered by court decree -- more than half a century after Arents' death. Five years later, the Garden Club of Virginia completed the restoration of the Grace Arents Garden as the first garden site at Lewis Ginter.
Today, the Garden encompasses 60 acres and includes more than a dozen themed gardens, a glass conservatory, a visitors center and an education center. Last year, it became one of only ten libraries and museums in 2011 to receive the prestigious National Medal from IMLS.
Nominated for the award by U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), LGBG was selected for its Community Kitchen Garden that grows fresh produce for the needy, as well as for its education programs, urban greening and water management initiatives, and contributions to economic development and work-force training.
But as Mitchell and Saunders reminisced following their StoryCorps interview, the conversation focused on the friends they have made in their years at the Garden, rather than on the successes the Garden has achieved.
"We're proud of the Garden. It's exceeded expectations," Mitchell deadpanned, and both women broke into chuckles as she added drolly, "They weren't too high!"
After all, they noted, it was really that little matter of upholding a will that launched them on their crusade. It was a wrong that cried out to be righted.
"And there was never a doubt in our minds," said Mitchell, "that we would do it."

A place to excel

It's no surprise when a business deal begins to take shape during a golf outing.
Perhaps less common is the business deal that percolates during a youth football practice. But such was the case for Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson.
During a visit to former Varina High School football star Michael Robinson's football camp, Nelson was discussing with Robinson his excitement for the new Varina Library, whose opening last June was at that time forthcoming.

armstrong vinyl plank over asphalt tile?
Can I install the above mentioned flooring over asphalt tile? The floor is sound and therefore I don't want to pull it up. In the directions it says that you can install over resilient floor blow grade. Are asphalt tiles considered resilient? If so why would it not work below grade? I was also thinking about installing ceramic tile over the asphalt tile if the vinyl wont work.
It should be fine. I know tile will not work, it will not stick to the old floor.

Paul and I are naming our picks in a variety of categories, with the result of the listener vote also being revealed. We've also got a little news, regarding Star Wars moving to Marvel, Jim Starlin's new Thanos graphic novel and Deadpool's wedding celebration, but the emphasis is on the Homies as we hand out the gongs… or rather, have to watch them being handed out. There's the best new series, best actually new series, pleasant surprises, cliffhangers and outstanding achievements, among others, so please do join us. All this plus Frankly Cock Cho, banana peels and seltzer bottles and the Five Interesting Things You Meet In Heaven.

Lesser of two evils approach? Sure man. Nothing against that opinion. I just think that if more people started to vote with their convictions instead of accepting the turd sandwich in lieu of the douche, we could actually make some progress. It's a snowball effect. Once people see the a third party alternative is viable, then more people will tack on and kick the habit of voting diarrhea soup over shite stew.
Kind of like 96% of the blacks voting for BHO? Ross Perot had a shot, be we ended up with Slick Willy. I appreciate your ideals, but like the rest of us, when given the choice of two evils, pick the one you haven't tried.
Pick the one you haven't tried? WTF does that mean?
I wonder what prescriptions would cost if all marketing for prescription drugs was banned.... Why does the exact same antibiotic for a dog cost 2.35 per 250 mg pill and the one for humans costs 11.57? The leave the same factory on the same truck.....frommthe same production line..... And people bitch about the oil companies... Look at any magazine and look at how many prescription drug add there are....lok at an old magazine from 20-30 years ago...... The tail wags the dog.....

Should we homeschool?June 2nd, 2016 Posted by Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin Ask the Rabbi 1 comment

This question is like telling the late Steve Jobs that you are thinking of switching from Microsoft to Apple and asking what he thinks about that. In total, we homeschooled for about sixteen years. One of our children was home for only one year, most spent some time in high school and for some, college was their first entry into the organized educational system.

Garní Food Studio
Stacey's story
My idea to start Garní Food Studio came after refusing to be limited by substandard sauce and stock options in the grocery store. I found that these fundamental kitchen elements lack transparency in terms of quality and origin of ingredients: too many preservatives, high sodium contents and made from concentrate. Stocks are sold in impractical containers for how the everyday consumer uses them. You use a little and toss the rest after it sits in the refrigerator for a few weeks, leading food waste and excessive packaging. That's when I realized I could create a better product that produced less waste. And voila, Garní was born.
Developed societies are becoming increasingly aware of how our food purchases make far-reaching and lasting impacts on our planet. We seek out companies who choose to make earth-friendly decisions. Recent studies show that 32% of all food is wasted from farm to fork; with Garní Food Studio, I strive to be the change that others can stand behind.
Washington DC is experiencing a health-conscious, eco-friendly renaissance, and I knew I wanted to contribute to it by building a sustainable business in the nation's capital. I'm grateful to have found a calling that combines my passions for sustainability with my love of creating delicious food for people. I know that Garní Food Studio will be able to educate consumers on how to be more mindful of how they buy and prepare food, while helping them reverse harmful waste-creating habits. Our stocks and sauces are just the beginning. Hopefully our consumers will take what they've learned from us and help move the ongoing food revolution forward.
This loan is special because:

More about this loan
Business Description
The January 2015 edition of Cook's Illustrated stated: "Chicken broth isn't sexy like black truffles or trendy like pork belly, but in the test kitchen we rarely go a day without using it. As the backbone of much of our savory cooking, it appears in—at last count—586 of our recipes."
With so many recipes calling for broth or stock, the consumer has limited options: Make it from scratch (who has time for that?) Purchase cartons made from concentrate (half of it will get tossed out) Reach into the fridge and use questionably old product ("Honey….does this smell funny to you?")
Sauces tend to suffer a similar fate as do carton broths. We buy them in large quantities, we use half, and then they slowly migrate to the back of the fridge only to be found weeks later, totally unusable.
Garní Food Studio's mission is to create fresh, frozen products with recognizable ingredients that are perfectly portioned for any meal. Our broths and sauces offer high quality convenience for our consumers while reducing food waste.
Garní Food Studios will initially launch 3 products : Chicken broth Vegetable broth Italian red gravy (a tomato-based simple red sauce)
Reducing food waste and giving back to our community are cornerstones of our business. Garní Food Studio is committed to re-using, re-selling and donating our usable food to local non-profit organizations.
What is the purpose of this loan?
$3,000We need space. This loan will grant our team access to a three-month membership to the commercial kitchen incubator at Union Kitchen Ivy City in Northeast Washington, DC. It's the perfect community to help get our product off the ground, as they provide ample opportunities for distribution with their network of local and national retailers. We're ready to be Union Kitchen's next big success story.
$2,000 Packaging and branding will be key to the success of this product line because of the need to re-educate consumers when they're walking down the frozen food aisle. This loan will allow our team to hire a reputable local branding and design agency to create beautiful packaging, labels, logos and a website splash page.
$2,000 Good ingredients are everything. This loan will be used to purchase ingredients to make the first rounds of sauces and broths.
$3,000 will be invested in purchasing frozen product packaging and equipment.
Industry: Food
Years in operation: 6 months – 1 year

A loan of $10,000 helps Stacey produce fresh, frozen products with healthy ingredients, while reducing food waste.

Check Engine Light
I replaced my t-stat after pulling a P0128 code. Do I need to have the dealer clear the light? Is there anyway to get it to shut off without being charged?

Hello from the Midwest
Hi...Three years back we bought an old house, built in 1906. Lots of projects and lots of questions.
Thanks for any helpful advise you can give.
Hi Minden welcome to the forums.
Oooh...a new house
(lol...I've lived in a few 1800s houses myself, cool but you run into some i n t e r e s t i n g things)
Hi Minden. My house was built the same year, so I get the feeling we'll have some similiar issues ;)
My money pit is about that old too. I'll bookmark this. Mine's a money pit because for some stupid reason in the 60's they thought paneling was nice and ripped out the French doors and all the old oak woodwork. We're slowing putting it back, but I'm still looking for old maple flooring to repatch (they did a crappy job) where the old registers were. I finally found replacement registers, but the floors still need help.

Perth scooter manufacturer
Late last year the company announced plans to make an all-electric scooter and the first sample scooters have been sent to Vietnam for compliance testing.
Vmoto has entered into an alliance with electric scooter manufacturer E-Max Ev Germany to fast-track the zero-emission scooter development.
Vmoto owns 60 per cent of the joint venture, which will hold E-Max's assets and intellectual property and use Vmoto's manufacturing and export licence.
E-Max is one of the world's leading makers of high-quality electric scooters but it has been hampered by a lack of a manufacturing and export licence.
The stock was trading at 16¢, down 3.03 per cent, at 12:39 pm on Wednesday.

General Procomm Plus information
In need of ASPECT scripting services? You have come to the right place! I have over 15 years of experience with Procomm Plus and the ASPECT scripting language. I started my professional career as a technical support specialist with Datastorm Technologies, the company that originally developed Procomm Plus. Shortly thereafter, I moved to the software quality assurance department where I tested the various features of Procomm Plus. While I no longer work for the developers of Procomm Plus, I still find it a very powerful program and make use of it everyday.
One of Procomm's most impressive features is the ASPECT scripting language. ASPECT can be used to automate the simplest of tasks, such as the daily uploading of a file to a remote system, or it can be utilized in the creation of a full-fledged application. While it is an easy language to learn, ASPECT can be difficult to master. If you find yourself in need of assistance in creating a script, debugging a vexing problem, or have a simple question that you cannot find the answer to, just send me an email and I will do my best to quickly assist you. I also offer the ability to write a script for hire if you desire that service. Please be aware that I have experienced some intermittent email difficulties in the past with certain Internet providers. If you do not receive a response to your email in two days, please resend it and I will contact you via a different mail account.
I also host a mailing list for ASPECT users to assist one another. You can subscribe by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the word subscribe in the body of the message. I post notification of site updates to the mailing list as they occur.
Information that has recently been added to the site can be found by looking for this icon. Keep in mind that new content may be interspersed throughout a page as I try to keep more relevant and frequently-requested material toward the top of each page.
If you have any ASPECT code or a helpful piece of information that you would like to share, please email me and I'll be happy to add it to the site (properly attributed, of course). I hope to make this website a useful repository of ASPECT knowledge and your help is certainly welcome!

Asian Stocks Outside Japan Rise on U.S. Jobs Growth
Asian stocks rose, led by mining companies, after faster-than-forecast U.S. employment growth bolstered optimism in the world's largest economy, pushing a regional equities gauge toward a ten-week high.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, advanced 2.8 percent in Sydney. Malayan Banking Bhd., the company with the second-largest weighting on the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index (FBMKLCI), briefly advanced to a record high after Prime Minister Najib Razak won a clear majority in a general election, giving him a mandate to continue his economic reforms. Cosco Corp. Singapore Ltd. lost 5.8 percent as profit at the shipbuilder plunged 65 percent.
The MSCI Asia Pacific excluding Japan Index gained 0.6 percent to 483.78 as of 9:32 p.m. in Tokyo, with about two stocks rising for each that declined. Markets in Japan, Thailand and the U.K. are closed for a holiday.
"Resilient U.S. private demand, bolstered by stronger-than-expected jobs data last Friday, should help risk appetite," said Michael Kurtz, Hong-Kong based head of global equity strategy at Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan's largest brokerage. "We remain positive on regional equities."
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index, the benchmark regional equities gauge that includes Japan, climbed 8.2 percent this year through the end of last week amid optimism the Bank of Japan will deploy more measures to beat deflation and that policy makers in the U.S. and China remain on standby to buoy growth.
Relative Value
That left the gauge trading at 14.1 times average estimated earnings on May 3 compared with 14.6 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 13.1 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index advanced 1 percent and the Shanghai Composite added 1.2 percent. South Korea's Kospi index slipped 0.2 percent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index (AS51) advanced 0.5 percent, closing near a five-year high. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index rose 1.1 percent. Singapore's Straits Times Index added 0.4 percent and Taiwan's Taiex Index rose 0.4 percent.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.1 percent today after the U.S. gauge closed at a record high May 3. The U.S. bull market entered its fifth year in March and the S&P 500 has surged 139 percent from a 12-year low in 2009, driven by better-than-estimated corporate earnings and three rounds of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve.
U.S. Jobs
U.S. payrolls expanded by 165,000 last month and revisions to the prior two months added a total of 114,000 jobs, a government report showed May 3. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey called for an increase of 140,000 positions.
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index gained 3.4 percent to a record, paring an earlier 7.8 percent surge at the open. Trading volume was about double the 30-day average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Najib's Barisan Nasional coalition won 133 seats in the 222-member parliament, Election Commission data showed, with votes still being counted. Anwar's People's Alliance had 88 seats, the commission said, with one yet to be called.
Malayan Banking rose 4.1 percent to 9.98 ringgit, after earlier jumping as much as 8.5 percent. UEM Land Holdings Bhd., an engineering and construction company, surged 13 percent to 2.98 ringgit and CIMB Group Holdings Bhd., the nation's second-biggest lender by market value, soared 9.7 percent to 8.35 ringgit.
Miners Climb
A measure of raw-material shares on the regional equities gauge advanced 1.7 percent. BHP Billiton jumped 2.8 percent to A$32.87 and Rio Tinto Group climbed 3.1 percent to A$56.20. Jiangxi Copper Ltd. increased 5.2 percent to HK$15.86.
Hyosung Corp. added 1.4 percent to 58,300 won after profit at the South Korean industrial firm topped analyst forecasts.
Largan Precision Co. (3008), a Taiwanese maker of optical lenses, rose 4 percent to NTT$842, the highest in five months, after reporting a 62 percent increase in sales in April.
Cosco Singapore, a unit of China's biggest shipping company, tumbled 5.8 percent to 82 Singapore cents, heading for the lowest closing level in four years, as first-quarter net income fell 65 percent to S$9.7 million.

A hard sell for more compassion
Page Tools
One of the best things about the now cult Australian soap Prisoner was the dialogue between the women locked up in Wentworth Detention Centre as they scrapped and gnawed at each other, fags hanging out of their mouths: "You'll get yours, you fat dyke bitch!" Or as Bobbie said about the superbly sinister guard The Freak - one of the best characters ever produced in Australian drama - "She's like a cheap pair of knickers - she'll drop on you when you least expect it."
Prisoner, one of Australia's most successful soaps, was first aired in 1979, and it ran until 1987 - although many of us grew addicted to the late-night repeats played for years afterwards.
Apart from the fact that the characters were almost all white, mostly middle-aged and managed to have an improbable number of sexual liaisons with guards, doctors and cooks, the show did reflect some truths about the prison system. Particularly the violence. And the fact that many characters left, only to struggle on the outside and return.
The women's prison Mulawa is the most violent prison in NSW. Recent figures showed the rate of assault on prison officers there, at 18 per 100 inmates, is three times higher than at Goulburn jail, where our most dangerous criminals are locked up. Each year, 50 per cent of inmates are assaulted.
I was there on Thursday night, for a closing ceremony of a program called Kairos (meaning "God's special time" in Greek), which I have written about before. Kairos is a program run for prisoners in several countries by an interdenominational Christian group whose members spend four days in the prison with a group of about 20 inmates, cook for them, give them talks on subjects like learning to forgive, and accepting other people, and just show them love.
I have been to three closings now, and am always struck by the looks on the women's faces, the way they say that it was the best week of their lives, the first time anyone had cared for them and how determined they are to change.
Those of the prison personnel who don't think the whole thing is slightly loopy are often effusive about the effects of it on the inmates, in reducing violence and recidivism. They have seen repeat offenders do Kairos and never come back.
This week was different. Sydney's Catholic Archbishop, Cardinal George Pell was there. (The former Anglican archbishop was there too, the gentle Harry Goodhew, but he has been before.) I sat a few rows behind him and watched as women likely to be murderers, thieves and drug-dealers danced around him and sang, "Surely the presence of God is in this place". His black-robed figure was still, upright as they jumped up and down with some kind of uninhibited joy, thrusting tattooed arms into the air, in heaving green and maroon tracksuits.
Afterwards he said he saw something shining in their faces.
Oh, it may be Pollyanna to say so, but sometimes miracles can happen. This week, for example, the Government decided asylum seekers on temporary protection visas would be allowed to apply for permanent residency. The Herald poster cried "Compassion back in fashion!" (Intolerance is so yesterday.)
Some people involved with serious offenders say prisoners need three things to become active citizens again: a spiritual experience when in jail (which gives them the courage to change and hope for their future), the support of their families, and having skills to get a job on the outside. With half the women in prison in NSW having been there before, making sure people survive in the outside world is critical.
The average daily population of prisoners in full-time custody in NSW rose from 6342 in 1997 to 8000 in 2002. This is predicted to rise to 9000 next year.
To cope with the booming prison population, the Government has been building new prisons, at enormous cost, to the dismay of activists who believe the money should be put into alternatives for custody. New prisons opened in Sydney's west on Wednesday (Dillwynia) and at Windsor on Friday, and another will be opened in Kempsey on Monday.
But according to the NSW Council of Social Service, NSW Bureau of Crimes Statistics and Research data shows most categories of crime are declining or have stabilised.
If compassion really was back in fashion, you'd think we could start seriously debating the wisdom in this approach.
Few people noticed that another small victory for compassion - or common sense - came just under three weeks ago, probably because it was hardly reported. At the end of last month, a bill put forward by the Tasmanian senator Eric Abetz, aimed at stopping prisoners from voting (as well as young people who have not enrolled yet), failed to make it through the Parliament. Currently all prisoners serving a sentence less than five years are able to vote in federal elections.
Abetz said, "If you're not fit to walk the streets as deemed by the judicial system in this country, then chances are you're not a fit and proper person to cast a vote." Labor and the Democrats refused to support it.
There has been a long-running tension between people intent on further cutting off those "not fit to walk the streets" from mainstream society, and others intent on making them fit to walk the streets again. The extraordinary sight in the visiting room at Mulawa this week was a stark reminder that people can change.

Motor Speed Control Kit
Any one know if this could control a 24v Hurst syncronous motor in a turntable?
AC Motor Controller
It has a connection to add a seperarte 24v load for the motor itself.
So, I think the speed control and the motor can have seperate voltages.
No it won't work at all on any form of synchronous motor.
As the ad copy says, it is designed for carbon brush motors as commonly found in power tools.
Ok, thanks.

Musical curative curation that still needs airing. Several unique live-on-air radio mixes using as many sources as possible appear; supered & layered dub-wise selection without objection. Mostly recent releases. Good times for conscious sound judgement. Listen for the Pink Floyd mystery phone booth clue if you want to witness the world premiere of "The Wall" that Thursday at L.A. Memorial Spots Arena courtesy of KTIM! "Let's Make A Profit Out Of Our Problem" by Max Romeo & "Man Hungry" by Sugar Minott are a just a couple of its highlights: (Midnight Dread debuted in September 1979 on KTIM, commercial radio in the North Bay Area. It moved to KQAK The Quake in 1984 & later to KFOG, both major San Francisco rock stations.
