I am always on the lookout for natural skin care products that work and are gentle on my sensitive skin. I've had eczema and acne for years, and the only relief I've found is by avoiding harsh soaps and chemically laden products.
For the most part I don't use soap on my face, but I do like to have something on hand for those days when I really need a good cleansing.
I was really excited to try another natural skin care company. I knew that if I liked them I would definitely buy from them in the future.
My Experience With Daisy Natural Skin Care
Daisy natural skin care is a line of natural body care products on Etsy. I'm really glad they contacted me to do this review because not only do I love to try natural skin care products, but I also love to support small businesses that care about keeping our bodies and our environment healthy.
They sent me 4 of their products to review and let me pick the scents or "flavors" that I wanted.
I chose to review:
- French vanilla Lip balm
- Lavender avocado body butter
- White ginger and amber honey oatmeal soap
- Fragrance free lotion stick
Opening the Box
One way I can really tell I'm getting a quality product to review is when just opening the box is pleasant, and that was certainly my experience with these products.
The aroma filled the room as soon as I opened the box and everything was neatly and beautifully wrapped. It felt like I was opening a present just for me!
Avocado Body Butter
I am always in need of a good natural moisturizer because my skin cannot stand most commercial lotions. I really like Daisy Natural's whipped avocado body butter. It smells amazing and it's very light and creamy.
Most body butters are very thick, but I didn't have that experience with this one. It rubbed into my skin very easily, and I like the container because it let's me have more control over how much I want to use.
My favorite use for it is on my hands and upper arms. It also makes a great foot moisturizer before bed. It almost feels like rubbing a very light whipped cream into your skin. So soft!
Honey Oatmeal Soap
The oatmeal soap actually has bits of oatmeal throughout the bar of soap, so it's great for exfoliating your skin in the bath or shower. I really like this kind of soap if I'm going to use anything on my body.
Commercial soaps dry out my skin. This completely cleans my skin even better than commercial soaps and without making it feel overly dry.
Another thing I loved about this soap is that is lathers nicely but it doesn't disintegrate too quickly even when sitting in my shower for weeks.
Lip Balm
If you haven't read about the side effects of using petroleum based products, I urge you to do so. Most lip balms and chap sticks sold commercially contain petroleum that can have damaging long-term effects on your lips and skin.
But there are plenty of natural lip balms like this one that can be bought by small natural skin care businesses. I love Daisy Natural's lip balm. My middle son even brings it to me and asks for me to apply it to his chapped lips because he loves the scent and flavor so much.
It leaves our lips feeling soft and protected from the elements.
Lotion Stick
When I first opened the lotion stick, I was unsure of what to use it for. Then I realized that it's great for certain spots where you just want some targeted moisture. I use it for my elbows as they tend to get dry and cracked.
The only issue I had was with the push-up container. It sometimes doesn't want to stay "up", but it doesn't affect the usability of the lotion.
Daisy Natural Skin Care is a sponsor for our June Giveaway Splash and provided free product in exchange for this review. I was not required to write a positive review and all of the opinions expressed are my own.
Daisy Natural Skin Care Giveaway
I'm happy to announce that Daisy Natural Skin Care has agreed to give away a Daisy Natural Skin Care Gift Basket to one lucky reader of Natural Family Today!

The Alberta tar sands are increasingly recognized as a major threat, not only moving us in the opposite direction from where we need to go to solve the climate crisis, but also with the enormous environmental and public health risks that tar sands development entails. However, another major negative and irreversible consequence of the tar sands' gold rush is often overlooked - the tremendous impact on the culture and legacy of northern Alberta's indigenous peoples.
As this amazing multimedia presentation by acclaimed climate change photographer Robert van Waarden demonstrates vividly, the tar sands are leaving an indelible mark on First Nations' communities, whose livelihoods and culture are threatened by the tar sands. Watch this, then please share it with your family and learn more about the tar sands. This destruction can be stopped, but not without major public pressure.

Field Trips
Winter Ecology Field Trip (grades 6-12)
Students will snowshoe the Three Bears Loop at Marias Pass or an extended off-trail route from the Oxbow Trail. Throughout the day, they will use a worksheet to collect and record data for wildlife/insect signs, snow density and snow crystal shapes, and record weather observation readings. Winter ecology programs on both west and east sides of the park include snowshoe hikes. The park provides all the snowshoes for students and chaperones free of charge. View our Winter Ecology Field Trip Schedule to see a basic outline for the day.
Glacier National Park protects habitat and natural processes with little human disturbance. In winter, this habitat changes drastically and winter ecologists can study the inter-relationships and adaptations of organisms which allow them to cope with these factors in order to survive.
Skills: Observe, communicate, identify, classify, collect & analyze data
Duration: 5 hours
Group Size: 30 students total, 2 groups of 15 students.
Locations: Marias Pass or off trail in Apgar
Objectives (depending on grade level and weather conditions):
Students will be able to:
- Tell what national parks protect, one reason Glacier National Park was established, and name another national park in the United States.
- Assemble a puzzle-map of the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem and explain why it is important that neighbors work together toward shared goals.
- Record temperatures of: the air; the top, middle and bottom of a snow pit; and compare/contrast them.
- Recognize track patterns and record wildlife signs/sightings.
- Match winter twig samples and identify them using a dichotomous key.
- Map or sketch the dominant vegetation types along the trail.
- Use a topographic map to locate Marias Pass, East Glacier, the Blackfeet Reservation, Lewis and Clark National Forest, Glacier National Park, and Three Bears Lake.
- Explain why there are two earthen dams on the edges of Three Bears Lake.
- Tell what a snow survey course is and its significance to people living in the watersheds originating in Glacier National Park.
- Name the 5 factors that make winter difficult for living organisms to survive (SCREW factors) and give 2 examples of organisms' adaptations to cope with some of these factors.
- Dig a snow pit and collect snow cores from the top, middle, and bottom layers, calculate the snow water equivalent for each sample, and analyze the results.
- Closely observe snowflake shapes and use a classification system to document the dominant type of shape present in the snow pack surface layer.
- Use the words subnivean and supranivean environments and describe where they are found and an animal that lives in each.
- Name the snow structure that has been used by different cultures as a temporary shelter (quinzhee), describe how to build it, and explain why it is warmer inside than outside one.
Field Trip Logistics:Teachers wishing to have their students participate in the winter ecology field trip should plan to arrive in the park between 9:30 - 11 a.m. and stay until 1:30 or 2 p.m. For programs at Marias Pass, there are no bathrooms open in winter, so groups must make arrangements for bathroom breaks before and after the trip. Everyone in the group must be prepared to be outside the entire time and ready to snowshoe for a distance of about 2 miles on gently rolling terrain.

We are here to teach and support our people in the prevention of HIV/AIDS and related issues such as; Healthy Sexuality, Sexually Transmitted Infections, Hepatitis ABC, and co-infections , in a manner that is respectful to our Aboriginal ways of life. We are guided on this mission by the people we help.
The AIDS Task Force began in 1991 after two First Nation people from Nova Scotia attended an AIDS conference in BC. They were very concerned about the effect this disease may have on their home communities, so influenced others to educate First Nation communities across Nova Scotia about HIV and AIDS. Fifteen First Nation communities across the province quickly joined forces to begin their fight against AIDS forming the "Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq AIDS Task Force". All the Atlantic Provinces have since joined the cause. You may know us to be the Atlantic First Nations AIDS Task Force. However, since May 2000 our organization is now known as Healing Our Nations.
Our purpose is to educate First Nation people about HIV disease and AIDS. Knowing the risks associated with the spread of HIV and defining the myths and facts about AIDS is the first step to healing our nations. Eliminating the spread of AIDS in First Nation communities is not the only focus of our organization because we see this disease as only a symptom of a greater problem. Our goal is to help First Nation people rediscover their pride, traditions, and spirituality in an attempt to improve child development and eliminate family violence, substance abuse, depression, and suicide.

A mare and her nursing foal have been poisoned with a cocktail of prescription and over-the-counter drugs in the third serious attack on animals belonging to a Red Beach woman in the past year.
The 18-year-old mare Annie and her month-old foal Revvy have been shifted to a secret location north of Auckland after the latest attack.
An eyewitness told the Herald on Sunday a group of schoolboys ran off from the William Bayes Place grazing paddock on Thursday afternoon, leaving behind a supermarket bag full of anti-depressants, anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea pills.
Distraught owner Amber-Leigh Erasmus said the newborn foal was discovered shaking, barely able to stand with its eyes rolling back into its head.
The mare had an immediate allergic reaction to the drugs and was suffering from painful welts.
Last night, the older animal's health was causing concern after losing a startling amount of weight.
This was the third in a series of attacks on the animals.
The pregnant mare was tagged and drenched in alcohol last May.
After it was moved to another location she was wounded in a machete attack in September.
Red Beach resident Glenis Swan said she disturbed a trio of teens wearing Orewa College uniforms in the horse paddock.
She said they were behaving strangely and when they noticed her approaching they bolted, dropping their stash of pills.
She collected the bag and called police.
Orewa College principal Kathleen Shevland could not be contacted yesterday.
Erasmus said she was devastated by the discovery and was trying to rally as much awareness and public support to find the culprits. She had set up a Facebook page in an attempt to raise money for her growing veterinary bills. And she was prepared to pursue this latest incident after the earlier May attack remained unsolved.
"I'm so upset. I've been in tears ever since it happened," she said. "I really want these people caught.
"I'm really sad this could be done by kids and I'm completely beside myself."
Erasmus, who runs a horse training centre, said her animals were now fearful of humans and the foal was even distancing itself from its mother.
People were responding to her online requests with donations coming in, including supplements and feed for her ailing horses.
Dairy Flat Clinic veterinarian Anna Day said: "The mare and her foal are okay. It's just a really odd thing to do.
"It's probable that if somebody hadn't come along before they really got stuck in (to the pills) then it could have been different."
In another incident, a filly was snatched from a West Auckland farm in Taupaki.
Thieves cut through a live electric fence to take the brown and white miniature pony from a Nixon Rd property on Friday night.
Kumeu police appealed for anyone with information to call them on 09-412-7756.

AUO selected to 2009 Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index.
Taipei, Sept. 23, 2009 (CENS) -- AU Optronics Corp. (AUO), the largest thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel manufacturer in Taiwan, recently claimed that it has been selected as a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia/Pacific Index (DJSI Asia/Pacific), making it the only pure TFT-LCD manufacturer worldwide to join the Index.
The panel maker is also the only Taiwanese company among the 21 additions of DJSI Asia/Pacific this year, it stressed, reaffirming the company's achievements and firm commitment to sustainable development.
Among all 57 sectors of DJSI, AUO is categorized under the Computer Hardware & Electronic Office Equipment (THQ) sector, and the company is the only pure B2B (business to business) company on the Index in that category. The DJSI evaluates sustainable development performance of companies in economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This year, AUO achieved high marks in all three dimensions.
Furthermore, AUO claimed, it is recognized highly in numerous areas including corporate governance, risk & crisis management, innovation management, supply chain management, climate strategy, operational eco-efficiency, environmental reporting, stakeholder engagement, corporate citizenship/philanthropy and labor practice indicators.
Launched in 1999, the DJSI is the first global indexes tracking the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide and are now some of the most important globally-accepted indicators in reviewing corporate sustainability. The indexes serve as a driving force to companies in fulfilling their corporate citizenship and offer benchmarks in corporate sustainability for global investors. Each year nearly 3,000 companies are invited to participate in DJSI review, which evaluates their sustainable performances in economic, environmental, and social dimensions. The DJSI family currently comprises global, European, Eurozone, North American, the U.S. and Asia/Pacific benchmarks, AUO said.

What types of religious activities are allowed in public schools?
The law of separation of church and state is continually evolving, and it can be hard to predict how the courts will rule on issues involving religion in public schools. In the past, the courts have ruled that the following practices do not violate the First Amendment religion clauses:
- individual students praying during the school day if they do not disrupt classroom instruction or other educational activities;
- transportation of students to private, sectarian schools at public expense;
- public purchase of secular textbooks for use in religious schools;
- use of school facilities by religious organizations in accordance with policies that also allow nonreligious groups to use the facilities;
- release of students from schools to attend religious instruction classes;
- provision of a signer for a deaf student in a religious school at public expense; and
- permission for student organized religious clubs to meet on school property before or after the school day.
Practices that have been prohibited by the courts include:
- sending public school teachers into private, sectarian schools to provide remedial instruction; and
- providing a publicly funded salary supplement to teachers in religious schools.

The Initial Trigger In Our Immune Response To Healing Is Calcium
Until recently, very little was known about how damaged tissue activates and attracts the first white blood cells to the wound - the first stage in the healing process. However, researchers from the University of Bristol's School of Biochemistry in collaboration with a team from the University of Bath, have shown that the very first trigger in this process is a flash of calcium which spreads like a wave back from the wound edge through gap junctions that connect all the cells.
This flash of calcium signal goes on to activate an enzyme known as DUOX that synthesises hydrogen peroxide, which, in turn, attracts the first white blood cells to the wound. This white blood cell invasion, which is initiated during our inflammatory responses, is needed to kill off invading microbes and stop the onset of septicaemia following tissue damage.
The findings indicate that the wound-induced calcium flash represents the earliest identified signal following wounding and might therefore orchestrate the rapid recruitment of immune cells.
To assess the impact of a reduced calcium flash upon the inflammatory response the team used Drosophila (fruit fly) embryos because they are translucent which makes it easy to image the inflammatory response and because of their simple genetics. The team found that blocking the calcium flash inhibited H2O2 release at the wound site leading to a reduction in the number of immune cells migrating to the wound.
Paul Martin, Professor of Cell Biology and an expert in wound healing at the University, said: "White blood cells are a little like 'Jeckyll and Hyde' in that they help us heal but are also the reason behind why we scar so we really need to know how they are regulated at wounds in order to learn how to control their behaviours for future therapeutic intervention."
Will Razzell, the lead PhD researcher on this study, added: "We are more than ever understanding the pathways that lead to immune cell attraction to wounds. As calcium represents the immediate inflammatory signal, we now have a good foundation to investigate this complicated process further."

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0811219879, Paperback)
The internationally renowned Chinese poet's first collection to appear in English."In the crevices of history, mosquitoes are everywhere," Xi Chuan writes. Notes on the Mosquito introduces English readers to one of the most revered poets of contemporary China. Gaining recognition as a post-Misty poet in the late '80s, Xi Chuan was famous for his condensed, numinous lyricism, and for radiating classical Chinese influences as much as Western modernist traditions. After the crushing failure of Tiananmen Square and the death of two of his closest friends, he stopped writing for three years. He re-emerged transformed: he began writing meditative, expansive prose poems that dismantled the aestheticism and musicality of his previous self. Divided into two sections that hinge around this formal break, Notes on the Mosquito offers the greatest hits of a deeply engaging poet, whose work intertwines the mountains and roads of Xinjiang with insects and mythical beasts, ghosts and sacred spirits with chess and a Sanskrit inscription.

It's one of the best animated shorts I've seen in a long time. Such simplicity yet so much depth at the same time. Why can't there be more animated shorts like this, instead of the soulless action drivel that's so popular these days? Story will always be king--long live the king!

I have 2 weeks ago injected Restylane in the lower part of my face. I have read about VOLUMA from Juvederm. Can i have my next injection with Juvederm . basically asking can those 2 products be mixed? How long do I need to wait before I inject VOLUMA?
Injecting VOLUMA After Injecting Restylane? (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
Injecting VOLUMA After Injecting Restylane?
Juvederm Voluma isn't FDA approved in the States but there is no issue with combining two different dermal fillers
Restylane and other fillers
There isn't a specific waiting time to inject or combine two dermal fillers, however, I would wait until your swelling has subsided from the Restylane to see what needs treatment. Voluma is not FDA approved in the US yet.
Restylane and Juvederm
Dear anastasiaandrew,
- Yes you can mix the fillers without any problems
- You can have Voluma whenever you are ready
- Be careful, if you are in the United States, Voluma has not been approved by the FDA and is not legal for injection (because it can come from an unknown source)
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Restylane and Juvederm Voluma
Restylane and Juvederm Voluma are compatible so there is no problem using both of them. I have used Voluma for several years with great results.
Can Juvederm Voluma and Restylane be mixed?
It is no problem to have Juvederm Voluma placed after having had Restylane. Both products are hyaluronic acid fillers and I would say it is fine to have the Juvederm Voluma placed 2 weeks after you had the Restylane.
Unsure if I Need Only Implants or Breast Lift and Implants?
Best to discuss with your injecting doctor. I recommend at least 2 months between injection events.
Mixing Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma
Mixing different fillers to fine-tune results is very common. There is no need to wait between injections; In fact, Juvederm, Restylane, and Voluma can all be used on the same day. That being said, Voluma hasn't been released in the US yet.
Can you inject Restylane and Voluma
Restylane and Voluma are both hyaluronic acid fillers and there will be no problem using both. Voluma is a thicker substance, so I would have preferred to put that one in first, and then the Restylane over it. But either way it is safe. Just know that Voluma isn't available in the U.S. yet - it's pending it's FDA trial right now and Allergan is hoping to launch it in the U.S. within the next six months. So if you are getting it, I am assuming that you do not live in the United States.
No problem with mixing fillers like Restylane and Voluma
The current trend is to use multiple different fillers in the same patient. There is absolutely so problem with having different fillers in the same or nearby areas. Each filler has its unique qualities which make them better in certain applications/areas. The more robust fillers for lifting and filling are: Radiesse, Perlane, Voluma, and to a lesser extent Restylane. Juvederm and Belotero, are softer, more diffusing fillers. Sculptra is unique in that it volumizes and thickens the skin. More of a global fill. By the way Voluma is not widely available in the US at this point.

Editor's note: This story first appeared Sunday as an exclusive for our print readers.
On game days and most others involving football, Mike Stoops is a fixed and stubborn soul whose furnace never requires stoking.
He got off the team bus Saturday evening, walked through thousands of UA fans without changing expressions, looking straight ahead, unwilling to soak in the moment.
His team was ranked 15th, the game was sold out, ESPN cared enough to televise the game in prime time, and yet he looked as though he could've been serving time.
In the 79th game of his head coaching career, Stoops was without his franchise quarterback, Nick Foles, and it didn't take much of an imagination to depict a list of dire scenarios in which his team was about to crumble and collapse.
At various times in the first half, Stoops openly chewed on special teams player Jonathan McKnight for missing a tackle, went nose-to-helmet with cornerback Trevin Wade for blowing a coverage and got in the grill of receiver David Douglas, penalized for an illegal formation. And that's just a partial list.
Finally, midway through the third period, head linesman Cleo Robinson, referee Jack Wood and side judge Nardy Samuels teamed up to chase Stoops back to the sideline when he overheated, objecting that a fumble recovery by Lolomana Mikaele was disallowed.
The coach touched off quite a rumpus or two.
Perhaps Stoops had not checked out the scoreboard. Arizona led 37-14. It had out-gained Washington 404-188, and his emergency quarterback, Matt Scott, had been so sharp, so outrageously effective, that it was a pinch-yourself-it's-true performance of almost unimaginable scope.
Maybe that's what happens when it takes 6 1/2 draining seasons just to push your coaching record to 39-40, not yet at .500, always coaching uphill. The battle never seems to be won, not even in the middle of a commanding 44-14 victory over the Huskies.
"We were hard on these guys this week and they responded," Stoops said. There were no new wrinkles. There was no motivational use of Button Salmon's death-bed speech. It was just one team outplaying and outworking another.
"This was a serious week, with a lot of serious stuff going on," said defensive end Ricky Elmore. "We played that way, too."
In some ways, Arizona's rousing triumph changes little. Hadn't everyone penciled in a victory over Washington months ago? Whipping the Huskies was the same as crossing another week off of a back-loaded schedule, waiting patiently, sometimes apprehensively, for a finish that features USC, Oregon, Stanford and Arizona State.
But because Scott was magnificent, seizing the game by force when he completed 14 of his first 16 passes for 186 mistake-free yards, the Wildcats take on a new dimension. They may be better than anyone had imagined.
If Scott can play anywhere near as good as he played Saturday, only the Nov. 26 Oregon game seems to be a real stretch.
When someone told him he completed 18 of 22 passes, he chuckled.
"Crazy," he said.
When someone asked him what he did to prepare, he said he stayed up until 1 a.m., Saturday, studying his playbook in the team hotel.
"I woke up at 9:30, pretty excited," he said. "Real excited."
Who in a red uniform didn't have a good night at the ballpark?
Arizona's defense was ambitious, displaying an energy it didn't have against Oregon State or Cal. Elmore and fellow defensive end Brooks Reed were superb. By the time the issue was settled, after three quarters, the UA defense had sacked Jake Locker four times and made him a non-factor.
On offense, any superlative works.
Co-offensive coordinator Seth Littrell so confused Washington's $650,000-a-year defensive coordinator Nick Holt that, during sideline huddles with his defense, Holt furiously diagrammed plays on a whiteboard even after Arizona took a 44-14 lead.
Finally, with 11:09 remaining, Holt tossed his whiteboard to the turf and stood, hands on his hips, the verdict settled. On the final play of the game, Holt's whiteboard remained on the ground, muddied and scratched by a misstep from someone's big cleats.
It was a metaphor for the way Arizona treated Holt and his players: 44 points, 467 yards and seven successful third-down conversions.
Littrell and quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo pushed all the right buttons. If Keola Antolin wasn't gashing the Huskies for a 78-yard touchdown run, Nicolas Grigsby had space to run, as did Scott, almost at will.
The mistake Holt made was not putting any unusual pressure on Scott in the first half.
"They were really vanilla," said Scelfo.
That allowed Scott to gather himself, feel his way through some first-quarter nervousness and never fear a pass rush, the type of blitzing that Washington State used so successfully against the Wildcats a week earlier.
"Our inability to get pressure on a guy making his first start of the year really hurt us," said UW coach Steve Sarkisian. "(Scott) was 14 of 16 in the first half. I wasn't anticipating that at all."
Who was?
"He's a good player, I'm telling you," said Scelfo.
Scelfo didn't have to be persuasive. On Saturday night, seeing was believing.


text: Hello everyone: The "low coolant" light kept coming on with my 97 Cat. I checked with the dealer and they were very willing to sell me a new coolant recovery reservoir for about CD$160.00. I decided to take the reservoir off and rinse it out. The float and washer shaped magnet came off the plastic post above the level switch. My question is: is the magnetic washer supposed to be glued to the bottom of the float, and is there a retainer that keeps the float on the post? I have a feeling this is why I get false "low coolant" light. Has anyone got some relevant input they can offer? Regards, Brian

A good thrash album, if you can bear the not-so-great vocals. Rosicrucian were one of those bands that were a bit anonymous, but nevertheless had their moments.
This album is actually a rather enjoyable one, the technical thrash found here manages to stay interesting throughout. Sound effects and strange intros, as well as the occasional insane outbursts of calypso beats, cows and screaming babies ensures that you stay on your toes. The production is decent but no more, retaining a rough charm to the record. It´s not particularly innovative in any sense, but it seems like they enjoy what they´re doing, and hey, they do know how to write some great thrashers every now and then.
Top marks go to "The way of all flesh" and "Within the silence" as far as songs go, and of course to the anonymous cow. Thrash albums like these aren´t made anymore, and you could certainly do worse than this.

SEATTLE - Amazon has introduced a new smartphone that seeks to help consumers locate and purchase products and services from the nation's largest e-commerce company.
The Fire phone comes with audio and object recognition technology, known as Firefly, to guide users to Amazon's stores. Just snap a photo of a book or listen to a song, for instance, and Firefly will present more information and a way to buy it.
The new device fits with Amazon's broader aim to create a more efficient shopping experience while steering more consumers to its retail products.
"It goes back to the mission of Amazon, which is to sell you stuff," said Ramon Llamas of the research firm IDC. "It reduces the number of steps it takes to buy things on the phone."
Fire also has the ability to render 3-D images on its 4.7-inch screen. The image shifts based on the angle you're viewing it. Four infrared cameras on the front are used to tell where the viewer's head is.
The device also comes with earbuds designed to be tangle-free.
Beyond that, the Fire phone doesn't differ much from other smartphones on the market. The screen is smaller than leading Android phones. Although CEO Jeff Bezos calls the Fire's size ideal for one-handed use, many consumers have turned to bigger phones to watch video and consume other content.
Persuading consumers to buy the Fire over an iPhone or Samsung phone will be tough, analysts say, particularly because Amazon isn't offering price breaks the way it has with Kindle tablets. And sophisticated technology such as 3-D will appeal primarily to early adopters of technology.
"The technology's cool, but consumers don't buy technology," said Julie Ask, an analyst at Forrester Research. "We buy solutions. We buy services. We pay for things that make our lives easier."
Charles Golvin, founder of Abelian Research, believes the phone will appeal mostly to people who already use Amazon services heavily.
"Any loyalist of iPhones or Google is going to have to judge whether there's enough value in what Amazon is offering with Fire to make the transition," he said.
Samsung and Apple dominate worldwide smartphone sales with a combined 46 percent share, according to IDC. And in the U.S., Apple leads with more than 37 percent, with Samsung at nearly 29 percent.
Amazon could potentially succeed even if it doesn't steal market share from the top phone makers.
Michael Scanlon, managing director with John Hancock Asset Management, said success or failure will be measured by whether Amazon can increase loyalty among its Amazon Prime members and get them to boost purchases.
Amazon is giving Fire owners a free year of membership, which normally costs $99.

Ibarra Murder Trial Delayed to November
One of eight defendants allowed to represent himself.
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - There are eight remaining defendants in the alleged, kidnap, torture and murder of Anthony Ibarra one year ago in a home in Santa Maria.
Ibarra's body was found in the back of a U-Haul truck parked in an Orcutt neighborhood.
The alleged motive according to prosecutors
The judge overseeing the unusual case has agreed with some of the defense attorneys to delay the trial of the Ibarra eight defendants to November 17 instead of early May.
One of the defense attorneys that asked for more time says, in this case at least, justice delayed is not justice denied
"There are some instances, surely not in this case, but there are some instances I've seen where that applies" says defense attorney Tom Allen who represents Reyes Gonzalez, one of the eight Ibarra defendants, "but generally the impact of this case, the calendars and the trial schedules, if we don't have delays it will be justice denied."
Allen says he and his fellow defense counsel for the eight defendants have been deluged with pages of discovery.
"Its pushing 11,000 pages and there are maybe close to 60 hours of audiotapes", Allen says, "so it's a massive amount of work."
One of the Ibarra eight defendants, Ramon Maldonado Jr, identified in court documents as a leader in the alleged Ibarra murder has been allowed by the judge to represent himself in all future court hearings and at trial which could mean more delays.
"He has to review all the paperwork, has to get it in, he's in custody", Allen says, "he will have the same ten thousand pages (of discovery), plus all the audio stuff, he has to get the assistance of an investigator, he may have the assistance of an attorney, but he's his own lawyer and starting from scratch."
Santa Barbara County Juvenile Hall Court near Santa Maria was selected as the best venue for pre-trial hearings for the multiple Ibarra defendants.
Tom Allen says Juvenile Hall Court will not work for a jury trial, citing among other things, a lack of a jury box.
"I assume the administrative office of the courts is looking into different places and I hope they consult the defense teams", Allen says, "because each of us will have our client and an attorney and possibly an investigator or paralegal, we want to be separated from the others and have a place where we can do our own writing and converse with our client without someone else overhearing."

What did the Supreme Court decide in Korematsu vs. United States?
2 Answers | Add Yours
In this case, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II was constitutional.
In this case, the Court said that any actions like the internment that are done on the basis of race are suspect and must be subjected to very strict scrutiny. However, even after scrutinizing the executive order carefully, the Court ruled that it was constitutional. The Court ruled that the internment was a necessary measure taken by the government in a time of extreme crisis. Therefore, it ruled that the internment was legal.
The supreme court ruling in the Korematsu vs. United States upheld the constitutionality of h=the internment of Japanese Americans as a wartime necessity.

Underlayment over diagonal subfloor
I have a 5' x 5' bathroom floor and I just tore up several layers of old linoleum and the 5/8" underlayment. I currently have 1x6 boards (not T & G) running diagonally across 2x8 joists, 16" OC.
I am planning to put down a layer of tar paper then 5/8" plywood over the diagonals, then 1/4" tecply, then Vinyl sheet.
In the future I may expand the bathroom, tear up the vinyl and 1/4" and put down backer and ceramic tile, so using other postings, I have decided to screw the 5/8" ply into the diagonals but NOT into the joists (1 1/2" screws).
I know that you usually would install the plywood with the top grain perpendicular to the joists, but since the room is 5 x 5, there will be a seam somewhere and that seam COULD lie nicely over a joist if I run the 5/8" ply PARALLEL to the joists.
Does the diagonal subfloor and the small space allow me to "cheat" on direction and put the seam directly over a joist? Or is it better to have the plywood perpendicular to the joists?
On a related note, is 5/8" ply stiff enough over 1x subfloor to support 1/4" cement board and tile in the distant future? Should I go 3/4" now and just deal with the extra height?
I just did exactly the same thing as you about a month ago, only I installed 5/16 inch fir underlayment over the 1X6 fir subfloor.
The original direction of the underlayment was with the top grain of the underlayment parallel to the bathtub, and that was also parallel to the direction of the floor joists. So, the original builders cheated on grain direction, and I did as well when installing the new underlayment. The reason was because the bathtub had a contoured side, and it was simply much easier to put down a 5 foot long and 4 foot wide piece of underlayment to cover most of the floor, and then scribe the contour of the tub into two 12 inch wide pieces to butt up against the tub.
I figured that if that building lasted nearly 50 years with the underlayment going that way, it would last another 50 if I put it the same way.
If you also have a toilet in that bathroom, and it hasn't already been done, now would be a good time to replace the toilet drain pipe with plastic (PVC or ABS). There's a good way of using plywood to replace the 1X6 boards you cut out, and I don't just mean replacing 3/4 inch thick boards with 11/16 inch thick plywood. Also, you need to be careful when cutting these boards because they go under your bathroom walls.
It seemed like such a small space that I didn't really think it would matter.
I also remembered that I installed 3/4" ply underneath the subfloor when I had the downstairs ceiling out a few years ago. I think it's probably solid enough.
I thought about taking out the 4" iron pipe for the toilet, but for now I just wrestled the leaded flange off and will keep the iron. Haven't decided on the flange replacement yet...
There WAS some rot around the toilet, but that came from a tilted flange, not the pipe. Luckily, I was able to remove the rotten diagonals and replace them with a fairly normal looking piece of 3/4" ply since the diagonals all had seams in easy locations, and nothing went under any walls.
Thanks for your post.
As you twist the tapered thread on the flange, the external rubber ring tightens up against the ID of the cast iron pipe. It grips the ID of 4 inch pipe really solidly. The 4" PVC ones are very popular up here. Notice that you can also get these in cast iron.
With this one, you tighten three stainless bolts to compress the rubber ring against the ID of the pipe.

The Companions of Jehu HTML version
31. The Son Of The Miller Of Leguerno
We have said that at the very moment when Morgan and his three companions
stopped the Geneva diligence between Bar-sur-Seine and Châtillon, Roland was
entering Nantes.
If we are to know the result of his mission we must not grope our way, step by
step, through the darkness in which the Abbé Bernier wrapped his ambitious
projects, but we must join him later at the village of Muzillac, between Ambon
and Guernic, six miles above the little bay into which the Vilaine River falls.
There we find ourselves in the heart of the Morbihan; that is to say, in the region
that gave birth to the Chouannerie. It was close to Laval, on the little farm of the
Poiriers, that the four Chouan brothers were born to Pierre Cottereau and Jeanne
Moyné. One of their ancestors, a misanthropical woodcutter, a morose peasant,
kept himself aloof from the other peasants as the chat-huant (screech-owl) keeps
aloof from the other birds; hence the name Chouan, a corruption of chat-huant.
The name became that of a party. On the right bank of the Loire they said
Chouans when they meant Bretons, just as on the left bank they said brigands
when they meant Vendéans.
It is not for us to relate the death and destruction of that heroic family, nor follow
to the scaffold the two sisters and a brother, nor tell of battlefields where Jean
and René, martyrs to their faith, lay dying or dead. Many years have elapsed
since the executions of Perrine, René and Pierre, and the death of Jean; and the
martyrdom of the sisters, the exploits of the brothers have passed into legends.
We have now to do with their successors.
It is true that these gars (lads) are faithful to their traditions. As they fought
beside la Rouërie, Bois-Hardy and Bernard de Villeneuve, so did they fight
beside Bourmont, Frotté, and Georges Cadoudal. Theirs was always the same
courage, the same devotion--that of the Christian soldier, the faithful royalist.
Their aspect is always the same, rough and savage; their weapons, the same
gun or cudgel, called in those parts a "ferte." Their garments are the same; a
brown woollen cap, or a broad-brimmed hat scarcely covering the long straight
hair that fell in tangles on their shoulders, the old Aulerci Cenomani, as in
Cæsar's day, promisso capillo; they are the same Bretons with wide breeches of
whom Martial said:
Tam laxa est...
Quam veteres braccoe Britonis pauperis.
To protect themselves from rain and cold they wore goatskin garments, made
with the long hair turned outside; on the breasts of which, as countersign, some
wore a scapulary and chaplet, others a heart, the heart of Jesus; this latter was
the distinctive sign of a fraternity which withdrew apart each day for common
Such were the men, who, at the time we are crossing the borderland between the
Loire-Inférieure and Morbihan, were scattered from La Roche-Bernard to
Vannes, and from Quertemberg to Billiers, surrounding consequently the village
of Muzillac.

The "TLR transfer" or "teller transfer" usually occurs when a check is clearing from your account. For a deposit, it again is referring to a teller transaction but this time is transferring funds into your account instead of out of it. It might show up that way because the check that was deposited was from another Bank of America customer or because cash was deposited, for example. Most deposits show up as "Counter Credit" or "Teller Transaction Credit" on the bank statement.

Honors in Arts and Sciences With a Major in Psychology
About the Honors Program
The Department of Psychology at The Ohio State University is one of the largest departments in the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences. First established in 1907, its faculty has grown to encompass some of the most eminent academics in its seven different specialty areas. These include the areas of clinical, cognitive, developmental, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), behavioral neuroscience, quantitative, and social psychology.
In the Department of Psychology, Honors students have the opportunity to participate in challenging courses and research experiences at multiple levels. Students may take advantage of unique opportunities to work side-by-side with some of the field's leading researchers and scholars.
The Honors Program offers many advantages for students. It provides courses that challenge the intellectual capacity of students, as well as giving students the opportunity to interact with faculty in a more intimate classroom setting. Honors students have scheduling priority for course registration and may be eligible to take graduate-level courses. Honors students also are eligible for research scholarships offered through the Honors Office of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences and the Department of Psychology.
Honors Tracks
Students may participate in the Arts and Sciences Honors Program by completing a program of study leading to the designation "With Honors in the Arts and Sciences". Students may also choose to earn the designation "With Honors Research Distinction in Psychology." Some students may choose to satisfy the requirements for both Honors tracks.
To graduate "With Honors in the Arts and Sciences"
A student must have an overall GPA of 3.4 and complete an Honors Curriculum Contract. An Honors Contract includes more rigorous and challenging courses (i.e., upper-level and Honors courses rather than introductory-level courses), usually a minor, and often times a second major. The contract is developed with an Honors advisor from the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and the Psychology Honors Advisor. This contract can be tailored to reflect individual interests and career plans. It is submitted during spring semester of a student's sophomore academic year.
To graduate "With Honors Research Distinction in Psychology"
A student must maintain at least a 3.4 overall GPA, complete the Psychology Honors Contract requirements, take Psychology 4999.01H and 4999.02H, and write and defend an Honors Thesis. The Honors Thesis is independent research conducted by the student and supervised by a tenure-track faculty member. The Psychology Department requires completion of a two-course sequence (Psychology 4999.01H and 4999.02H). Psych 4999.01H and Psych 4999.02H are only offered in Spring semesters. The first course in this sequence covers theoretical development and helps students write a research proposal and gain approval for data collection. Students review the literature relevant to their specific area of research, present their proposal to the seminar class, and submit their project for approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The second course supports data analysis, and focuses on writing and presenting the Honors Thesis. Experimental design and analysis are reviewed. Students present their Honors Thesis to the seminar class and participate in the annual Psychology Undergraduate Research Colloquium.
Students interested in completing an Honors Thesis should become involved in Psychology 4998 research early in their career (during their freshman or sophomore year) to learn the research process. Students should begin discussions with a faculty member about completing an Honors Thesis by the autumn semester of their junior year to set up a program of research that will culminate in an Honors Thesis.
Honors Courses
The Department of Psychology is committed to offering Honors students both Honors sections of regular courses and specific Honors courses.
Psychology Honors courses include:
Psychology 1100H: Introduction to Psychology
Psychology 2220H: Data Analysis in Psychology
Psychology 3310H: Sensation and Perception
Psychology 3313H: Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience
Psychology 3321H: Quantitative and Statistical Methods in Psychology
Psychology 3325H: Introduction to Social Psychology
Psychology 3331H: Abnormal Psychology
Psychology 3340H: Introduction to Life Span Developmental Psychology
Psychology 3371H: Language and the Mind
Psychology 3550H: Psychology of Childhood
Psychology 3551H: Psychology of Adolescence
Psychology 4508H: Psychology of Judgment and Decision-Making
Psychology 5613H: Biological Psychiatry.
To enroll in an Honors course, students should be in the Arts and Sciences Honors Program or have permission of the instructor. Students enrolled in Honors sections should expect more challenging and rigorous assignments, as well as stimulating class discussions. Sections are small to encourage greater interaction between faculty and students.
Research Opportunities
Honors students in the Department of Psychology have many opportunities to participate in research at multiple levels. Students will be exposed to the research process across the various content areas within their psychology courses. All students are required to take Psychology 2300: Research in Psychology. In addition, psychology students may elect to engage in Psychology 4998: Undergraduate Research in Psychology, under the supervision of a faculty member, and even design and implement their own research project via the Honors Thesis track. Independent study research enables students to test their interest in research and get to know faculty members who share those interests and is strongly recommended for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in psychology. Students may apply for a Psychology Conference Travel Scholarship to attend psychological conferences related to their research experiences.
The Psychology Department also encourages students to present their research findings. Every year, the Psychology Undergraduate Research Colloquium gives students the chance to observe and present research in a poster presentation session within the department. Many students also compete in the annual university-wide Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. Students may apply for a Psychology Conference Travel Scholarship to present their research at professional conferences such as the Midwestern Psychological Association annual conference.
The Department of Psychology offers two undergraduate scholarships to support research:
Alkire Research Scholarship
This fund was given by Edward M. Alkire to help an outstanding junior or senior student majoring in psychology to conduct research in psychology or the mental health field.
Billingslea Research Scholarship
This fund was given by Dr. Fredrick Y. Billingslea to help an outstanding junior or senior majoring in psychology conduct research in clinical psychology or in a clinically related area.
These scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic achievement and to encourage students conducting research under the supervision of a faculty member. These scholarships ($3000) are paid toward University fees spread evenly thoughout the academic year. Applications are available in the spring for the following academic year.
The Department of Psychology offers a scholarship to help students attend academic conferences:
Psychology Conference Travel Scholarship
Scholarships are available to psychology majors to facilitate attendance at psychology conferences in which: (1) the student is presenting research, or (2) the student is currently and actively involved in working in a psychology research lab and/or on a psychology Thesis project and attendance at a psychology conference will contribute to the work the student has been doing in the psychology research lab. Eligible students can be awarded up to $400 if they are presenting psychological research at a conference and up to $200 if they attend a psychology conference. All application materials must be submitted at least one month in advance of the conference.
Psychology Honors Research Mentorship Program
The Psychology Honors Research Mentorship Program provides a three-year, intensive research experience opportunity in which students work closely with a faculty member to develop and hone their research skills. This program is intended for students who plan to pursue doctoral-level graduate work in psychology and are considering a career in academia and/or one that involves research. Psychology honors students may apply into this program during spring term of their freshman year.
Further Information
We hope you will consider the majoring in Psychology within the Arts and Sciences Honors Program at The Ohio State University. For further information, please see the Arts and Sciences Honors Program website at http://aschonors.osu.edu/.

what is best furnace filter to buy?
I currently have a metal furnace filter and have used it for the last 5 yrs. Should I stick with it or switch to a Filtrete High Performance Filter?
My local Sam's has these.
Filters except 3m are rated in MERV (google that for more info). The higher the merv the more air is restricted and the harder it is for your furnace fan to move it. This can result in an overheated and damaged furnace or frozen and damaged AC. Only way to know for sure is to try it and check the temp rise thru the furnace after is has run for 5 minutes. Stick a thermometer in the supply duct downstream a foot away from the plenum and subtract the house temp from it and check the temp rise specs on the model # sticker inside the furnace. ie:35-65degF. I recommend a Merv 8 filter and unless you have a newer furnace with an ECM motor and large ductwork you can have problems with the more restrictive types. AC needs checking by a Pro to see if it has enough airflow.
Post a pic of the metal filter. IMO none of them and the so called "electrostatic" membrane ones are worth a darn. MOST people don't clean them properly and they tend to gum up and plug up internally with scum. I have seen lots of frozen and damaged ACs from those filters not been cleaned properly and I don't recommend them at all. The pleated MERV filters are guaranteed/rated to do what they are supposed to vs. the "buy guess and by golly" aspect of those other filters. For under $20 for a 3 pack of Merv 7-8s how can you go wrong. ACs and furnaces are over $4000 so the price of the filter is hardly an issue IMO.
Allergen reduction filter
1200 performance rating
Lasts up to 3 months
Approved by the American Lung Association
2 twin packs
Yuri mentioned it already, you could try it, but be weary that you cause flame rollout, higher temp rise through heat exchanger than max design and AC "A" coil freezing in the summer.
Basically the better the filter the higher the resistance the higher the resistance the less air flow.
Go ahead try em, if they work for ya then cool, I would check the temp rise as a min, just to make sure you aren't cause heat exchanger problems.
It would be like the Filtrete with a rating of 1000, I believe.
If you use a HVAC contractor who is into "measured performance" and actually checks pressures, they will generally find that ANY of the high MERV filters are creating excessive pressure on the return side and a reduced air flow across the heat exchanger / A-Coil to the point where system efficiency is significantly reduced.
One clue that this is occurring is "oil canning" of the ducting - when the blower comes on sides of plenum are bent inwards, and then pop back out, - often with an easily audible sound - when the blower goes off.
When I see that (unless it's because the return side of the systems his horribly mis sized) I know I will find either a badly obstructed (dirty) filter, or one of the high MERV types.
In a nut shell, yes

text: Our house is covered with box elder bugs this year and I wish to treat them in some capacity, otherwise they are in the house the whole winter. I have a single hobby hive about 30-40 feet from one end of the house. My wife brought home a couple of bottles of insecticide (1% deltamethrin) that attach to the garden hose and are diluted out while you spray the house. The package insert says"highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds". There are very few flowers blooming in the foundation flower beds at this time of the year, the first frost should be in the next few weeks. If I spray the house at dusk, no wind, do you think it will be safe enough? Have you any other thoughts? Thanks. Karl
