History's Headlines: Suffragette Cities
It was 1915. Allentown and Bethlehem were booming and bustling places in the heart of the nation's industrial revolution. But another revolution was also confronting conservative Pennsylvania Dutch country. Across the Lehigh Valley, and the rest of the country the cry, "Votes For Women!" was being heard.
As is the case with some social issues today, the states were lining up behind the issue of political rights for woman. Voters in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Nevada and the territory of Alaska had given women the franchise. How would Pennsylvania go?
There was a small but determined group of local women in Allentown and Bethlehem leading the charge. They included Republicans and Democrats.
Republican Ruth Sayre Frick was the most prominent resident of Bethlehem involved. Her family was among the founders of Bethlehem Steel and the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
As such, she had lived a privileged life. But it was perhaps because of that that she took to the cause of women's rights that were denied her but given to the male members of her family.
Allentown's leading figure was Democrat Mary Constance Erdman, who was from a longtime political family. Her father, Constantine Erdman, had represented Lehigh County in Congress in 1898. During his term Congress passed the Erdman Act, the first piece of federal legislation that recognized the right of workers to organize unions.
Constance Erdman was very independent-minded and operated the branch office of the Pittsburgh Life and Trust Company, which sold insurance to single or widowed women, something that was almost impossible for them to do at the time.
All fired up for the cause, Frick and her friend Hannah Young of Allentown's prominent Young family began the task of going door-to-door to urge local women to educate themselves in the importance of gaining the vote.
Sometimes they gained acceptance and were welcomed, but not all the time. One story that was passed down in the Frick family for many years had to do with a particular encounter in Allentown. After vigorous knocking at one door, it was flung open. The woman standing in the doorframe was later described as "large and Amazon like," her hair wrapped tightly in a towel. Startled but resolute, Frick and Young began to speak to the lady, who they had clearly interrupted in mid-house cleaning about the need for women to have the vote.
But they did not get far. "Why don't you both go home and clean behind your sideboards," she shouted at them before slamming the door in their faces. A stunned Frick and Young walked away.
Although they did not despair, both woman admitted that if this was the attitude of some local women, how could the possibly convince men- the voters- of giving the vote to women? And in fact they were up against a lot.
99 years ago everyone admitted, at least most men, that allowing women to vote was a really radical step. Why would women even want to have the right to vote? Politics was a dirty business carried on in saloons by cigar smoking politicians, not a suitable place at all for a lady.
Better, it was felt that they should stay home and stick to raising the children and taking part in church work. And had not God himself defined the roles of men and women?
"Sensible and responsible women," said former Democratic President Grover Cleveland, "do not want to vote. It was clear that the relative positions to be assumed by men and women in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours."
If normally cautious politicians had this attitude, that of the press was in general no better. The New York Times editorialized that if women got the vote they would "play havoc" with the political system, "if men are not firm and wise enough and---it may as well be said---masculine enough to stop them."
Magazines featured cartoons of females who wanted the vote as battle-axe wielding harpies who dominated their helpless husbands and boyfriends. One popular wit of the day said suffragettes were women who "had ceased to be a lady and not yet become a gentleman."
But nothing apparently daunted the local suffragettes. On August 28, 1915 the so-called Woman's Liberty Bell arrived in the Valley. A recreation of the original created in Philadelphia, it had two significant changes. The words "equal justice" were added to the original inscription, and the clapper of the bell was symbolically tied. It would not be untied, the press stated, until women were given the vote.
There were at least two other events during that 1915 campaign that caused banner headlines. One was on September 25, when a woman claiming to be a supporter of voting rights tried to blackmail David Williams, a local labor leader who had led the 1910 strike at Bethlehem Steel, and one of the few men in the Valley who vocally supported the votes for women movement. A private detective broke in on the woman and Williams, claiming they were having an affair. Williams was later cleared of all charges but both Frick and Erdman tried to counteract it by inviting a leading movement figures to the Valley.
On October 4, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw head of the National Women's Suffrage Association spoke to local people in Bethlehem and Allentown. Her speech to 150 in Center Square was disrupted by rain. Another national figure labor attorney, Antoinette Funk, spoke on October 8.
But in the end the supporters of equal rights were disappointed. Voters rejected it by 50,000 votes statewide, with Lehigh and Northampton counties among the highest vote totals against it. It would not be until 1920 that the 19thAmendment gave women their right to vote.

DeadlineNow: All The Drama Is In Emmy Best Drama Race (Video)
10 Comments
GOT is the best acted and written. If theres a dark horse its Orphan Black
Mad Men definitely won't get it. The love affair is over, and this time last year I would have said BB was the show to beat…but that was before True Detective. Kind of a dick move, although understandable, to put it in drama series contention, because it is going to sweep.
If BREAKING BAD doesn't win, something is seriously wrong with the television academy. That is not to say that there aren't other incredible shows out there as well, but BREAKING BAD's final season was perfection.
I didn't even think True Detective was that great as an 8 episode miniseries. I really hope GOT, Breaking Bad, or Mad Men win.
Can't forget HANNIBAL as a possible dark horse. Talk about a network show behaving like a cable show. The best writing and directing of any show on TV.
True Detective is insanely overrated. It's pompous. Slow. Arty farty. Gratuitous nudity and violence against women. And the scripts lean on pretentious dialogue and a mystery that makes no sense. Can't be compared to Breaking Bad. If it wins, the emperor has no clothes.
I like Breaking Bad but it's a bummer about these split seasons. By the time the Emmys air, it will have been finished for well over a year. I would venture to guess a lot of the people that voted for it last year had the second half season in mind, which was far superior to the first.
Breaking Bad doesn't belong in the running this year. It should have been content with the loving, trophy-filled farewell the industry gave it at all of last year's awards shows. Most of the Part 2 season ran during the summer, so it's being judged on, what, its last three episodes? The show has been over for a year and it has nothing left to prove. Taking awards away from other deserving shows this year in an already crowsded category is greedy.
No, it's being judged for the whole season, since the eligibility period goes from 1st of July 2013 to 30th June 2014 (Breaking Bad 5B premiered on the 11th of August).

Kids Dr- ADHD
ADHD symptoms including, difficulty with focusing, paying attention, in- attentiveness, behavioral problems or hyperactivity, may begin in early childhood and may persist into adolescence and even adulthood. It is important to address behavioral issues in younger children as they are entering school and to look for learning disabilities as well as school becomes more academic. By definition, the symptoms of ADHD must exist at both school, at home, as well as in peer relationships. In other words, it manifests itself across all areas of a child's life.
As your child enters pre-school and elementary school, your pediatrician should routinely be asking about your child's behavior and school progress. While some symptoms of ADHD may appear in pre-school, these behaviors may change as a child matures. The diagnosis of ADHD is often made over time and is a process. ADHD cannot be diagnosed by a blood test, but rather is diagnosed by interviews, parent/teacher questionnaires and observation of a child. In my experience it is not uncommon for some preschoolers (especially boys) to have some inattention and even hyperactivity that they may out grow as they get older.
Boys may be identified earlier than girls because they are more active, while girls are often found to be inattentive and may not be seen to be a behavior problem in the early school years. Early behavior modification has been shown to be important for a younger child who is suspected of having ADHD and parents and teachers should work together to use similar behavioral strategies. Reinforcement at both home and school is equally important. (This is really true for all age children).
For children who have been followed and continue to have symptoms of ADHD, medication as well as behavior modification may be the most effective strategy for controlling their symptoms. Before starting any age child on medication I think it is important to have both parents and teachers involved. Your child is under the care of their teacher for 6 to 8 hours a day, and who better to comment on your child's behavior/attention/mood.
For the teenage population it is also important to look for other conditions that may be seen in conjunction with ADHD. These would include drug or alcohol abuse, anxiety and depression. Treating underlying issues is a priority as well in a teen with ADHD.
Treatment for ADHD should be individually tailored for each child and this requires that the parent/doctor/teacher work together to ensure the best possible treatment.

Experienced flight instructor Phil Hooker will be flying high at the bigger-than-ever air show in Tauranga over the weekend.
Mr Hooker is flying six different aircraft in 10 displays over the two days of the Classics of the Sky Tauranga City Airshow at the airport.
"It's what I do every day - flying different types of aircraft while instructing. The only difference with the air show is that I will be doing it in front of 20,000 people," he said.
Mr Hooker, a former Air New Zealand pilot, will be completing aerobatics in a Cessna 152, the Furio RG - "the sleekest and sexiest plane around" - and Mustang T51 replica World War II fighter.
He will also do fly-bys in the Tecnam Twin trainer and Pipistrel motor glider, and be part of a five-strong gyrocopter formation team.
The Mustang Mr Hooker is piloting climbs at 91m per minute and has a maximum speed of 402km/h. The Italian-designed, carbon fibre Furio is a high performance cross-country cruiser.
The third Tauranga air show is now the biggest in the North Island and will be parading some of the best display aircraft in the country.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force's Red Checkers aerobatics team will again thrill the crowd - and so will the jets, three Mustangs, two Spitfires, subsonic Hawker Hunter, Vampire and Corsair.
The Thunder Mustang will be flown by its owner, Masterchef Simon Gault, and the two Spitfires, owned by Brendan Deere and Doug Brooker, are coming from Ohakea and Ardmore.
Cathay Pacific pilot Dave Philips will be stepping out of the Hawker Hunter jet into a tiger moth. The Hunter Hawker, based at Classic Flyers museum, will having its first display flight in four years.
The 28-seater DC3, also based at Classic Flyers, will be taking passengers for rides.
The Tauranga air show has attracted 30 display aircraft and up to 300 Sport Aircraft Association (SAA) planes which will remain on the field and can be viewed by the public.
Andrew Gormlie, the air show's co-director, said ticket sales were steady and "we are hoping for at least 25,000 people. At the end of the day, some will stay outside and watch, but they won't be able to see the show properly".
"We have a bigger line-up this time, and weather-wise we are going to get a couple of excellent days," he said.
Tauranga became the base for the biennial SAA air show after it was staged at Matamata for nearly 20 years. Organisers are determined to cement the show as the biggest in the North Island and to match the Warbirds over Wanaka International Airshow in the South Island.
Air show traffic
Traffic around Tauranga Airport this weekend is expected to be busy. People going to the air show are advised to follow the signage and any detours that may be in place.
For more information about how to get to the air show and where to park visit www.classicflyersnz.com/airshow.
Passengers and people meeting flights are advised to use Aerodrome Road where they will be checked and given access to the terminal building. Please allow extra time to get to the airport.

Book Review: The Complete Machine Quilting Manual
Joanie Zeier Poole's book on machine quilting teaches you what you need to know to start free motion quilting. FMQ can be so scary – where do you start? How much do you do? What designs work best? This manual will definitely help you find your bearings.
Chapter 1 is full of lots of tips regarding different types of quilting machines – long arm, domestic machine with frame (my dream is to own one of these!), and even a domestic machine. And don't worry that you don't have a long arm – Joanie explains that she prefers to work on a domestic machine and is quite happy with her results. She also discusses essential and useful attachments, accessories, and even setting up your working space.
Chapter 2 is all about planning and preparations. It helps you choose and plan quilting techniques for different types of quilts along with techniques for transferring them to your quilt. Joanie discusses fabric preperation and even when to starch (answer: lightly and often!) as well as thread and needle types and how to choose wadding.
Chapter 3 discusses the varieties of machine quilting – channel, stippling, background and echo as well as others. You'll learn about moving from shape to shape on the quilt.
Above is an example of filler designs, and you'll also learn how to plan and quilt designs based on straight lines – there are more than you think! She also discusses how to practice designs before sewing them.
Finally there is a small library of quilting designs for making your own. I think this is a book which would appeal to the beginner and intermediate quilter – many quilters are terrified at the thought of free motion quilting, but a little knowledge and practice will get you a long way. There are also 4 projects that aren't very difficult and offer the opportunity to practice your free motion skills.
The Complete Machine Quilting Manual by Joanie Zeier Poole is published by Search Press and is available on Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Book Review: Sewing Made Simple by Tessa Evelegh
Did you want to leave a link on Manic Monday Linky Party? You still can!
Full Disclosure: I was sent a complimentary review copy of this book from the publisher, but the opinions really are mine. It actually takes a bit more than a book to get me to lie to you guys. Two books might be enough, though… :p
Sewing Made Simple by Tessa Evelegh is available at Amazon.com for $19.80 and at Amazon.co.uk for £16.25.
I liked this book a lot and I definitely learned some very useful techniques from it. It's lovingly shot and the illustrations are clear and easily understood. It's a great introduction to sewing, as Tessa explains everything you need to be able to sew with competence. I especially liked how she broke down different kinds of fabric, like cotton, wool, linen, silk, etc. Here's the section devoted to cotton:
Obviously there are many kinds of cotton fabric – home dec weight, seersucker, organdie, chambray, etc., and Tessa does a great job of explaining what they all are and what they're commonly used for. And in true geek style, I really liked the section on fabric construction:
Hey, don't judge. In my defence it's useful information to know when you're buying or cutting. She explains that twill (think denim, chino or gabardine) is more robust than plain weave, drapes well and doesn't crease as badly as plain weave. But there's way more to the book than just fabric.
Tessa not only explains where to measure for each measurement used in determining pattern size, etc, but she shows how you need to hold your body for an accurate measurement. Brilliant. And you know how patterns and clothes are made for the 'perfect' body shape? Well, she even shows you how to adjust for your own measurements to make totally tailored clothes:
There are loads of adorable projects in there too, like home furnishing, useful accessories and even clothes:
In all there are 20 projects, including making your own curtains (which are very expensive to have made bespoke).
The only thing that bothered me was the 'patterns' are those kind that are all shrunk down which you have to take to a copy centre to have enlarged. For myself, that means I'd never make some of the items like the ladies' skirt – I don't live anywhere near a copy centre. However, many of them are projects you can cut out with a ruler and scissors/rotary cutter.
In all, it's a very useful book to have around and I'd definitely recommend it to a sewing beginner/advanced beginner. The seam techniques explained within are fantastic, covering different kinds of seams, finishes and how to neatly enclose a seam – I was pleasantly surprised to find there are more methods available besides French seam, and every technique is treated with the same comprehensive breadth.
P.S. Because the Google Overlords want to force the entire planet into using their crappy social application, my Google Friend Connect has been cancelled. But you can still get me in your Google Reader (or any other reader) by clicking on the Feedburner (RSS) link below.

Gears of War: Judgment Getting 'Lost Relics' Multiplayer DLC Next Month
Written Thursday, May 16, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Following the recent free Dreadnought DLC, Gears of War: Judgment is set to receive more DLC next month in the shape of the 'Lost Relics' pack, which adds three new multiplayer maps and the return of an old favourite.
It's likely that this is another paid DLC however, which presumably means it'll be part of Gears of War: Judgment's VIP Season Pass. Included with the Lost Relics pack is the returning 'Checkout' map from Gears of War 3, and new maps Lost City, Museum and Ward.
Ward is a new OverRun map, and the Lost Relics pack also introduces a new single objective game-type called Breakthrough, in which two teams battle it out to obtain a flag. One team starts with the flag and must deliver it to a set location, while the opposite team must defend the location with unlimited resources. The flag must be delivered before the attacking team's lives run out.
Gears of War: Judgment's Lost Relics pack will be coming in June, with armour and weapon skins rounding out the offerings. We'll have the exact release date and price once it's announced.

TNA Spoiler Notes: Big Segment In August, ECW Original Returns, Possible King Mo Feud, More
– Below are some spoiler notes from TNA's second night of tapings in New York City:
* Samoa Joe, Sanada and Low Ki all won three-ways to qualify for an Ultimate X match for the vacant X Division Title. This will likely be taped on Friday night and will air on the August 7th episode.
* Homicide returned to TNA and lost the three-way with Tigre Uno to Joe. Homicide and Joe followed ROH's Code of Honor after the match.
* Kurt Angle cut another promo from the balcony, very similar to the one he did on Wednesday night.
* Al Snow returned to the ring for the August 7th episode, teaming with Team 3D and Tommy Dreamer to do battle with Team Dixie. Snow came out as a mystery man but TNA actually spoiled it for the live crowd by passing out "heads" to some fans a few minutes before he came out.
* TNA has been teasing a Dixie Carter table spot for over a month and it will finally happen on the August 7th episode, thanks to Bully Ray and the entire TNA roster.
* They may be building to a singles match between Bully Ray and King Mo, possibly for Bound For Glory.
* Ezekiel Jackson and Snitsky may be done already, at least in the storylines. After Team Dixie lost a multi-man match, they did an in-ring segment later and Dixie had apparently fired Zeke and Snitsky but kept the other members of the group. No word yet if Snitsky and Jackson were brought in just for this week's tapings or if they will be used going forward. It's possible they're booked for Friday night's tapings.

SP distributed its 72.4% stake in Thus to its own shareholders after tiring of propping it up. But the law prevented US investors from accepting some 173m shares. On Wednesday, they were sold to the highest bidder. Thus shares rose 2 1/4p 19 1/4p.
SP says it has made £400m from an initial £600m investment in Thus. But shareholders have seen Thus's value fall from 844p and have suffered repeated shocks from SP itself.
As part of the spin-off, SP swapped a £260m loan to Thus for a 22% stake, equivalent to 48p a share. Then earlier this month, without warning, it unveiled a 30% dividend cut plan. This came after persistent difficulties in the US and delays in finding a buyer for Southern Water.
SP now languishes near its year lows at 362p. Calls for chief executive Ian Russell to resign persist. Large investors say Russell, previously finance director, must take much of the blame.

I currently have juviderm in the tip of my nose. I have scar tissue in the tip after a revision rhinoplasty and was wondering if it would be ok to get a steroid injection, in the tip- while there is filler in there. Will the filler interfere with the steroid injection or block the scarring somehow? Should I wait until the filler dissolves?
If I Have Filler in the Tip of my Nose, is It Okay to Have a Steroid Injection in the Tip?
Doctor Answers 3
Steroids Have no Impact on Fillers and Vice Versa
The steroid injection will have no impact on the filler and vice versa the filler will have no impact on the steroid injection. There are substances such as hyaluronidase that can lessen the impact of the filler; steroids will not do so.
Web reference: http://www.skinandlasers.com/juv.htm
Wound modulation with steroid after rhinoplasty
It's a bit odd to be injecting something to add volume while also add something to reduce volume. That aside, the Juvederm which is already present will not affect the action of the steroid that is subequently injected. However, it may be more difficult to assess what is scar tissue and edema vs. fullness from the filler itself.
Juvederm filler in the tip of nose, steroid injection OK?
Your questions raises the question, are you unhappy with the appearance of the juvederm in the tip of the nose? What is the reason you want steroid injection in the tip of the nose? If you are unhappy with the appearance of juvederm in the tip of the nose, then to dissolve it, you would want to be looking at injection of hyaluronidase, an enzyme which dissolves the product. If the scar is becoming thickened and that is the reason for the steroid injection, then the steroid injection could soften the scar and the presence of the filler should not affect the action of the steroid. Should you wait until the filler dissolves - possibly yes if the problem is that the filler over filled the area, then you may want to dissolve it with hyaluronidase rather than inject with steroid. It is not clear to me what the purpose of the steroid injection is.

A&B Properties is a subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. which owns over 87,000 acres in Hawaii. A&B Properties is responsible for the stewardship of these lands including planning, entitlement and development to enhance value, in keeping with community needs.
By identifying and pursuing developments and transactions that enhance value from raw land holdings, and reinvesting tax-deferred proceeds from these efforts into new developments and a portfolio of income-producing properties, A&B Properties creates value for shareholders with a diverse income stream.
The Company's development activities, once limited to its historic landholdings, have been expanded through the use of acquired land and joint ventures, enabling the further diversification of earnings through the expansion to other Hawaiian islands. This extension of the Company's development activities has allowed it to leverage its development expertise, market knowledge and capital resources.
A core business objective of the Real Estate Leasing Segment is to generate the highest returns possible from its portfolio of income properties in Hawaii and on the U.S. Mainland. This is accomplished through an integrated program of selective acquisitions, effective property and asset management, positioning the properties for sale and enabling the recycling of proceeds from those sales into tax-advantaged 1031 acquisitions of properties with higher growth potential.
A&B Properties seeks to acquire income properties in markets with strong growth prospects and to enhance asset values through facility upgrades, re-tenanting and repositioning. Properties are identified for disposition when optimal values have been achieved.
Reinvestment of proceeds will not necessarily be in the same asset class, but, over time, the company has maintained a relatively consistent balance among retail, office and industrial space.
The company's mainland income properties have been acquired primarily with tax-deferred exchange proceeds, and while it is expected that future acquisitions will be predominantly acquired in a similar manner, the company is not limited to the use of tax-deferred exchange proceeds in acquiring properties to enhance and expand its operations.

World History Lesson
The division of the human family into its two distinct political
branches occurred some 7,000 years ago, when humans coexisted as
members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
The pivotal event of societal evolution was the invention of beer.
This epochal event was both the foundation of modern civilization and
the occasion of the bifurcation of humanity into its two distinct
subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the
beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum
can were invented yet, so it was necessary to stick close to the
brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days killing animals to barbecue at night
While they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of the
Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned
To live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly
Barbecues and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was
the beginning of the liberal movement. An interesting Evolutionary
side note, some of these early liberal men eventually evolved into women.
Liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the trade
union, the invention of group therapy and group hugs, and the
concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer
that the conservatives provided.
Over the years, conservatives came to be symbolized by the
largest, most powerful land animal on earth. Liberals are symbolized by
the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most
Prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but
Like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are
Standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most
Of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists,
Dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals
Invented the designated hitter rule in baseball because it wasn't "fair"
to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, They eat red meat, and
still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters,
Rodeo cowboys, lumber jacks, construction workers, medical doctors,
Police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes, and
generally anyone who works productively outside of government.
Conservatives who own companies and hire other conservatives who want to
work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the
producers and decide what to do with their production. Liberals
believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is
why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives
were coming to America. They crept in after the wild west was tame and
created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.
Here ends the lesson in world history.

My Name is Sandra Buffkin, and I am 21 years old. I have always had a love for taking pictures. I took pictures of my family and friends for years. I started working with a photographer, and worked with her for a year. I took a photography coarse and I am a now a graduate of The New York Institute of Photography.
I am a Student at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I am a Pre-Med Student majoring in Chemistry and Biology. I will graduate in May 2012, and it is my goal to go to Medical School. I started my business to help support me during college. My heart was moved several times over the years to use my business to bless people who could not afford pictures of their wedding etc. I keep my prices very low not to provide substandard photos but to provided excellent quality photos at a low price. While meeting my needs I have met others needs.
I have a wonderful family! I have two wonderful parents, Patti and Charles Buffkin, two Brothers, Christian and Hayden, and one sister Tiffany. They are a blessing to have. I have one nephew, Jackson Buffkin who has my heart.
I love the feeling that pictures can give you. So much happiness can be held in one picture that will last a lifetime. This is more then a business to me. I'm able to remind people of their family heritage, and have numerous times provided photos to some who would not have be able to afford the memory. I love being able to share the gift God gave me with my customers.

Orange Oil Benefits
by oranges.com
The many benefits of orange oil vary between its many different domestic, industrial and medicinal uses. The essential oil of the orange tree Citrus Sinensis is obtained by cold compression of the peels and the main components are Alpha Pinene, Citronellal, Geranial, Sabinene, Myrcene, Limonene, Linalool and Neral. The oil has long been used to add orange flavor to beverages and desserts, and it is famous for its natural indoor pest control properties. Today it is also used in soaps, body lotions, creams, anti-wrinkle applications, room fresheners, sprays, deodorants, biscuits, chocolates, confectionery and a whole lot more.
Just a few of the many industrial uses of orange oil include use as a treatment for termites in your home, and as a furniture cleaner because its anti-grease properties work more effectively than lemon oil. Orange oil is also useful as a general kitchen cleaner because it kills many surface germs on contact. Beyond recognizing the industrial uses and that the fruit of the orange tree is very nutritious and contains vitamin A, vitamin B, and high levels of vitamin C, researchers have also discovered that orange oil is also beneficial in the treatment of many different types of physical and emotional ailments.
Medicinal Uses & Benefits of Orange Oil:
- Orange oil can help restore dry skin and can also help in the treatment of acne.
– Orange oil inhibits microbial growth and disinfects wounds.
– Orange oil can provide quick and effective relief from internal and external inflammation and caused by excess intake of spices, fever, infections, and the side effects of antibiotics, gas, and ingestion.
- Orange oil can helps in treatment of edema and cellulite used in conjunction with massage.
– Orange oil can help make sure toxins like uric acid, bile, excess salts, and pollutants are all disposed through urine.
- Orange oil used in conjunction with aromatherapy is beneficial in treatment of depression, irritability, anxiety, sadness, and insomnia.
– Orange oil is a natural sedative that can help provide relief from anxiety, anger, and depression.

We had very nice week spending at Tom's apartement. Location was super in the middle of everything! Apartement was clean and plenty of room for us. (2 persons).Parthroom was clean and situated just next to ours, so it was easy to use. Modern furnishing, and that was all we needed. We had nice and polite host so we felt ourselfs safe and comfortable. We can fully recommend this for others too Ritva and Markku
We had a perfect place to stat on a perfect location! We could rent bicycles next door and It was the perfect place to start exploring all the different partes of Berlin.The appartement is very clean, decorated wit very good taste, perfect kitchen and bedroom. I'm sure we com back! We didn't met Tom but we had conversation by mail and all our questions weren afwerend directly.Thanks Tom!
Unfortunately the parking place was hired to someone else which was a problem the first day. Check this before you book and pay.We found a place in the neighbourhood. We had to get the key elsewhere in Berlin because our host was abroad. The living room and kitchen must be shared with other guests which was not a problem but of course means less privacy. The Room is perfect located and a very beautiful place to stay.
It was just as I expected it to be with even more privacy as expected. On arrival a very good explanation about everything, WiFi, fruit and other products to use. Briljant!
I love the house, is really beautiful, and is very near from the city center.
But the best thing of the house is the owner, Tom, he is really friendly, and you feel like in your own house. If you have any problem he is going to help you, it was a pitty that we didn't pass more time together while I was there.
So if you want to visit Berlin and pass a good time this is a good place.
Berlin is amazing and Tom's place designed with so much creativity as well as the hospitality of the host made my stay unforgettable. Thank you, Tom!
We had a very nice stay i Berlin. The Apartment was perfect for our stay together with the location not far from Alexander platz.
Alles bestens! Beschreibung der Wohnung sehr gut, Zimmer und Bett sauber, ruhige Lage, gute Verkehrsanbindung mit U2, gerne wieder!
Wunderschönes Apartment sehr zentral in Berlin,von einen super netten Vermieter angemietet. Ist alles super gelaufen kommen gerne wieder werde Apartment und Wimdu weiter empfehlen.
Ich bin begeistert! Das erste Mal in Berlin gewesen bzw überhaupt alleine gereist und dann so einen tollen Gastgeber und solch eine wunderschöne Wohnung erwischt zu haben, das war ein super Einstieg und hat auf jeden Fall Lust auf weitere Reisen (vielleicht auch wieder nach Berlin) gemacht. Danke dafür!

Ontology-based knowledge management for enterprise systems
Ahmad, Mohammad Nazir, Zakaria, Nor Hidayati, & Sedera, Darshana (2011) Ontology-based knowledge management for enterprise systems. International Journal of Enterprise Information Systems, 7(4), pp. 64-90.
Companies face the challenges of expanding their markets, improving products, services and processes, and exploiting intellectual capital in a dynamic network. Therefore, more companies are turning to an Enterprise System (ES). Knowledge management (KM) has also received considerable attention and is continuously gaining the interest of industry, enterprises, and academia. For ES, KM can provide support across the entire lifecycle, from selection and implementation to use. In addition, it is also recognised that an ontology is an appropriate methodology to accomplish a common consensus of communication, as well as to support a diversity of KM activities, such as knowledge repository, retrieval, sharing, and dissemination. This paper examines the role of ontology-based KM for ES (OKES) and investigates the possible integration of ontology-based KM and ES. The authors develop a taxonomy as a framework for understanding OKES research. In order to achieve the objective of this study, a systematic review of existing research was conducted. Based on a theoretical framework of the ES lifecycle, KM, KM for ES, ontology, and ontology-based KM, guided by the framework of study, a taxonomy for OKES is established.

Card reading[edit]
This card depicts a pure piercing sorrow of the mind. The sorrow must be felt and experienced for closure and relief to come. Generally speaking, it is a negative card and often refers to loss.
The 3 of Swords = Saturn + Air[citation needed]. The interaction of Time and thought. The time period of Aquarius is indicated. The letters C L U are indicated[clarification needed]. It represents restriction and obstacles of thought. It is a card of mental illness and depression. One of the most negative cards in the entire deck.

Grant Harding, who will be participating in Ironman New Zealand 2013, having completed the event in 2010, shares his Ironman life.
There were five Hardings in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge 160km solo event.
Four of them finished ahead of me. You laugh? So did I.
Without labouring the point, it was a tough day at the office on Saturday. Headwinds on both sides of the course - or was that my imagination? - negated the beautiful overhead conditions. My legs died at the 90km mark, meaning an inability to take advantage of the flatter side of the course - 70km is a long way to ride when you're tired.
Not that such an outcome was entirely surprising. It was the toughest and longest ride of my training to date, and I didn't taper for the event - even running and swimming the day before. Besides I'm not a gifted cyclist.
That said, I was lucky to finish at all.
Somewhere around the 125km mark, a cyclist remounting his bike on the side of the road fell directly into my path.
Taking evasive action, I missed his head by a narrow margin and was forced to steer my bike right out to the middle white line to do so.
The adrenaline must have pumped, because for the first time, in my fifth 160km solo around Taupo, a few km up the road I made it up the notorious Hatepe Hill without stopping.
But as they say, it's not over until it's over.
With less than 200 metres to the finish line, while gunning down Tongariro St at 38km/h (you have to put on a show), a lying-down cyclist charged out from one of the, supposedly controlled pedestrian crossings. The crowd's reaction told of a tragedy about to happen. But no. I steered hard right, he, oblivious to the danger he'd created, kept going to the left of me, and somehow, miraculously, what appeared to be a certain accident was avoided.
So my intense six hours and 16 minutes on the road had served its purpose. I'd finished strong, with no ill-effects.
I got a few comments out on the course - some from Hawke's Bay folk ("we can expect a big write-up in the paper on Monday"), and some from cyclists who recognised my bike set-up as being Ironman-related. The fully aerodynamic helmet, the aerobars are a bit of a give-away.
One sarcastically said: "It would be interesting if the Ironman bike course was on this terrain." To which I replied: "You wouldn't get many entries."
The first 90km of the Cycle Challenge is tough going. Running a marathon off that would not be to the liking of many. One also suggested that the challenge would be more difficult than doing the Ironman. Not at all. The Ironman has three disciplines requiring much training to have any chance of finishing. I got through 160km of cycling - admittedly not quickly - on a slim diet of specific training.
There is an underlying antipathy that comes from cyclists towards triathletes.
Personally I have huge respect for cyclists - they are a tough crew. And the sport always provides an honest day out. But triathlon has its challenges, and its competitors also have my respect.
Editor Andrew Austin asked me during the week if I ever felt like giving up during an event. I told him, "no". The truth is, "yes, often, sometimes often in the same event, but no".
What keeps you going is one of the following. Can I go on? How am I going to get home? How am I going to feel later tonight? It's the self-talk and pride that gets you through (although I once cracked mentally on a swim).
Speaking of pride, I met Terina Parkinson last week. She is a stroke survivor who Hawke's Bay Today did a story on before she took on the Auckland Marathon last month.
Terina introduced herself while serving at the checkout at Napier Pak'n Save. Then as quick as a flash she pulled out her finisher's medal.
It brought a smile to my face, as she told her story. Her knees gave out about 15km from the finish, but she battled through. She found out she could go on, she had to get home. Time was irrelevant. The result was the medal. Earned. Her pride was infectious.
I finished 2664th out of 4198 in the solo on Saturday. For me the 160km banked was the most important fact to emerge from the day.
Now attention turns to Ironmaori. Once again I will not taper into the event. While I rested yesterday, it was due to other duties, time constraints, rather than fatigue. And today I will be back training. I will have one day off before the half-ironman on Saturday. The occasion, the quality training provided by a half-ironman, will be what it's about.
Racing is coming. But not just yet.
The hardening up process has begun.

1. Re: Manually Overriding dependencies711345 Oct 30, 2012 2:56 PM (in response to Its_Neo)After you have harvested assets, it is not feasible to modify the system-supplied relationships. It is, however, possible to add relationships manually.1 person found this helpful
One strategy is to publish the service candidate (or whatever type you are working with), and document it there for development. After the implementation is harvested, the harvested service would need to be attached manually to the original service candidate.
I don't believe that adding annotations to the code will help with your use case, however upon harvesting a WSDL, OER should be picking up the WSDL description in the annotation and populating the service description in OER.

The Manual of Standard Tibetan presents the everyday speech of Lhasa as it is currently used in Tibet and among the Tibetan diaspora. It not only places the language in its natural context but also highlights along the way key aspects of Tibetan civilization and Vajrayana Buddhism. The Manual, which consists of forty-one lessons, is illustrated with many drawings and photographs and also includes two informative political and linguistic maps of Tibet. Two CDs provide an essential oral complement to the manual. A detailed introduction presents a linguistic overview of spoken and written Tibetan.
News & Reviews
"The Manual of Standard Tibetan is the best resource available for teaching modern spoken Tibetan bar none. Its grammatical explanations are precise, detailed, and clear while its dialogues and surrounding text are rich with authentic cultural information on the social contexts in which Tibetan has meaning. It should quickly become the standard textbook in the area."—David Germano, University of Virginia
"The Manual of Standard Tibetan, with its wealth of insights into the language, is a delight to read. In offering such a breadth and depth of coverage for an introductory text of modern Tibetan as used in Central Tibet and among the diaspora community, it brings the field to a new level particularly in the area of spoken Tibetan."—Phil Stanley, Naropa University
"I do not hesitate to recommend Nicolas Tournadre and Sangda Dorje's excellent Manual of Standard Tibetan. Their collaboration represents the confluence of linguistic analysis of the first order with the stylistic sensibilities of a leading contemporary master of Tibetan composition. Both share a keen appreciation of an approach in which the learning of language and of culture must inform one another with the result that this is one of those rare language textbooks that is a pleasure to read."—Matthew Kapstein, University of Chicago

021-906-262-B is $39.50
06A-906-262-Q is $18.86
Question: when searching on 1stvwparts.com for the latter part no. a lot of different years and engines appear but there is no selection for the VR6. When I search through their catalog for the O2 sensor by keyword I find a 2.8L Rear O2 listed for $125.70. Are these parts the same and can I just "pick" an option from the list when I search by part no. and buy a "1.8L" O2 sensor?
My CEL is on and the Autozone scan comes back the dreaded P0420.
I'm mentally ready to replace my cat because of all this but I was going to do the O2 sensors anyway for preventative maintenance and this is a cheaper way to possibly rule out having to replace the cat.
I'm at 121k
You can also splice your O2s, what year is your car? 1stparts had the price set to 18 untill a week or so ago for the precat I believe the 4 wire one, but now it is back to 92. ECStuning still sells it for $22.50 I just got 2 of them the other day before they raise the price again
here is a post I created the other day:
it might help you get the cheapest one...

Pulled From Sinking Auto After Suicide Attempt
Brooklyn resident Jehuda Sulaman sits in an Emergency Medical Service ambulance after being pulled from his car, which was sinking in Jamaica Bay early Thursday morning. Police say that Sulaman was despondent over an impending divorce and drove down the boat launch ramp at the west end of Beach Channel High School at about 9:02 a.m. on Thursday, in an apparent attempt to commit suicide. Police responding to a cell phone call that there was an occupied vehicle in the bay; found the recent model car rapidly sinking. The responding patrol car called the NYPD Aviation Unit, which is housed across the bay at Floyd Bennett Field. Two SCUBA divers, PO Michael Regan and PO Frances Vitale, jumped from the helicopter into the water and pulled Sulaman from the car. One witness told a Wave reporter at the scene, "He just turned into the parking lot and rolled straight down the ramp into the water." Sulaman, who was described by law enforcement sources as "depressed" and who cannot swim, was taken to St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway in "good condition." At press time, Sulaman was being held for observation.

BLACKSBURG, VA, March 8, 2002 -- In the past four years, Richard Neves has propagated more than a quarter million endangered animals and returned them to the wild at a cost of less than $1 each. Neves, professor of fisheries and wildlife sciences at Virginia Tech, works with endangered mussels from rivers in Southwest Virginia and adjacent states. Eighteen of Virginia's 20 federally endangered mussel species are found in Southwest Virginia.
Saving endangered mussels is vital, Neves says, because mussels are the natural biological filters in the river system. They remove sediment, contaminants, and particles, ingesting some and releasing the rest into mucus strings. Some water insects feed on these strings, and the mussels themselves serve as a food source for raccoons, muskrats, river otters, and diving ducks.
Virginia's freshwater mussels live up to 70 years. They are fertile for their entire life span, after beginning reproduction at about age 4 or 5. But many species are endangered because of water pollution and disturbance or destruction of their natural habitats.
"Mussels are excellent water quality monitors," Neves says. "Because they live so long and move so little, we can take a piece of tissue, analyze for contaminants, and tell what's been going on in the water system for 50 or more years."
He and his colleagues collect gravid females, using a hypodermic syringe to harvest the larvae. They then deposit larvae onto the gills of the type of fish that particular species of mussel prefers. The larvae, which are parasitic, must attach to fish, from which they extract the nutrients required for them to transform from the larval stage to the free-living juvenile stage.
Biologists can deposit mussel larvae from one female onto hundreds of fish, whereas only about a dozen fish can become hosts for the larvae from each gravid female in the wild. The hosts are likely to be small fish that they live on the shoals, which is also the habitat for the mussel.
"In the wild, each gravid female has from 30,000 to 2 million larvae," Neves says. "In the wild, 99 percent of these larvae never attach to a fish and are wasted."
The host fish are kept in holding tanks after they are "infested" with larvae. Carrying the larvae does not appear to negatively affect the hosts, Neves says. The larvae encyst on the gills of fish, where they remain until they are able to survive on their own. The tiny mussels -- smaller than the head of a pin when they drop off the fish -- are siphoned up and placed into tanks where they feed on algae grown in the lab and tailored to meet their nutritional needs.
Neves, who was a pioneer in this work, and graduate students designed an automated feeding system as well as the tanks in which the mussels grow and mature. The tanks are maintained through a recirculating, air-driven system, with the entire system run by a one horsepower motor.
In the tanks, the mussels triple or quadruple in size during the first few weeks. After growing for up to a year, they are returned to the wild to begin their work of improving water quality by filtering sediment and other water impurities.
Water quality in the river reaches to which mussels have been referred has improved considerably in the last 10 years. Federal and state water quality standards have been upgraded, and enforcement of those standards has dramatically reduced chronic water pollution. Elimination of chlorinated wastewater discharges into the Clinch River from sewage treatment plants by the department of Environmental Quality has removed this potentially lethal pollutants to downstream mussel populations in Virginia and Tennessee.
Neves' research is funded in part by grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
He also has received funding from the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and an ASPIRES Research Grant from Virginia Tech, which are helping to fund a new facility in which he can expand his mussel propagation work.
Once the work is moved into the new building this spring, Neves hopes to produce about 100,000 juvenile mussels each year. Currently, he has only been able to average about 50,000 per year, depending on the availability of the species with which he is working.
"People are always talking about saving endangered species., but we need to start with what's in our own backyard," Neves says. "The Southeastern United States has the world's highest diversity of aquatic invertebrates, including mussels and snails. We need to concentrate on saving our own world-class fauna."
