text: Unlike a recipe for a cake, where the ingredients must be measured exactly, and mixed carefully and baked according the instructions, Career Happiness is more like creating a salad at a buffet: there are key elements that make it healthy, the quantities and variety of the "extras" are what make it delicious. And each salad is highly personal. My favorite salad is not necessarily tasty to you, and vice versa. So what are the key ingredients that must be included for a "Career Happiness Salad"? The Basics - these are the must have elements that make it possible The Greens: Meaning - what you do must be connected to something that is aligned with your Purpose. Few of us work just for the financial reward. We work to improve health, to increase justice, to create beauty, etc. According to Guy Kawasaki, entrepreneur, who was part of storied Apple Macintosh team, we "make meaning" in one or more of three ways: Improving something, righting a wrong or preventing something good from being lost. (see this great , [non pescription cialis] courtesy of Jean Schaefer of ) The Protein: Strengths - those things that we do so well, we don't even have to think about it. We are so good at these that everyone around us knows it. However, because these come so naturally to us, we sometimes discount their value; we take them for granted. Finding out what our true strengths are, and thinking about how we can use these strengths in our work can open up many new opportunities. The Dressing: Pleasure - Just a little goes a long way. When we find that one thing we enjoy so much we lose track of time: that is what keeps us coming back to work. Whether it is delving into the numbers or the science, making presentations, working with colleagues, teaching or creating art, each one of us has something that makes everything else more enjoyable and meaningful. non pescription cialis The Extras: If the three elements above are included, it's a salad. It's the extras that make it your own salad, whether these are other vegetables non pescription cialis, seeds, croutons or a little bit of cheese. At work these extras may be the environment, the benefits, the financial rewards, location or colleagues. Again, for each one of us the important extras may be different and may change from day to day or year to year. Non pescription cialis without them it's still a salad, but our unique combination of extra ingredients is what makes "our salad" special and especially enjoyable. What's important for you in your "Career Happiness Salad"? What is currently missing that you would like to add or what would you like more of?

Reviews For Pure Olive Oil Bar Soap - 3 Pack
Based on 31 Reviews
Excellent soap
This is my go-to soap. I love natural soap but always gravitate back to this one. It's lightly scented with olive oil and does not dry out my skin like some do. The 3-pack is less on Thrive than at my grocery store.
- Lily
The Best
This has been my go-to soap for years and I love it. Simple ingredients, no fragrances, and not drying.
- Kristin
i love this soap. Works great. Doesn't melt too quickly. Beautifully simple ingredients, nontoxic & perfect for sensitive skin & allergies.
- Amber
So moisturizing
If you really want to moisturize your skin this is the bar. The smell is very natural, olive oil & herbal, so not for the purpose of aromatherapy. I interchange with the lemon-coconut.
- Lori
Nice and Basic
This is a super healthy soap, not overly scented~ kind of reminds me of clay mask scent. I love it!
I use to use dermalogica special cleansing gel (SUPER pricey) but then I read that an all natural soap bar is the best method for cleaning your face. 100% agree. Love this bar. My face feels 20x cleaner and is much softer. I still use rose hip oil in addition to the bar, but the bar has definitely made my face and hands softer.
- Alyssa
Love it
Left my face feeling soft
- Mayda
Love it
Started to panic as I was unpacking my third bar of the soap. I forgot where I bought it. Thank goodness the name was inscribed on the soap bar! I'm thrilled!
- Heather
Smells like play dough
Probably natural, but has a weird smell...
Good soap!
I love a good olive oil soap and these are good! Smells like fresh and clean, lathers fine and feels good on the skin.
- ElizaBeth
Like the soap but the smell is a little odd.
- Aura
My favorite soap
Love that it was in stock. My local store stopped carrying. I have sensitive skin and this soap is great.
- Sarah
good stuff
natural,soft, silky, gentle...and the price is great. My mom loves it so much I keep her stocked with it.
- Cheryll
Kiss My Face pure olive oil bar soup
I LOVE this soap and will never use any other. It makes me feel smooth and does not have an over perfumed scent as many others do. It lathers easily and a bar last quite a long time. I feel as though my skin has definitely gotten smoother since I began using KissMy Face with olive oil.
- Patricia
Love this soap!
Makes my face feel so fresh and clean!
- Donna
The only soap we buy
My family loves this soap so much. Nice light smell and it doesn't dry out our skin. It's on my monthly buy list.
- Lily
Smooth soap
God value. My only complaint with this soap is how gummy it gets on the bottom when it sits in the shower. BUT it rinses well and leaves my skin feeling soft.
- CO Mama
First time trying this brand
I like that this soap has 3 ingredients. I didn't expect there to be much of a scent considering it is made with olive oil. It doesn't smell very fragrant like other bar soaps. I've noticed that my skin looks and feels more even toned. It cleanses really well. It even took off my makeup. I would get it again :)
Best Soap Ever
This has become my go-to, all-purpose hand and body soap. Although it is fragrance-free, it has a nice, natural smell. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without being too dry or too oily. Lathers nicely. I found it locally, but since I have a Thrive membership, it's actually cheaper to get it here.
- Wendy
Pure Soap
It's not easy to find soap without hormone disrupting essential oils or xenoestrogens. This is perfect, and Thrive makes it easy and cheap! I use this for bathing, washing hands, and washing dishes. It does have a strong olive smell, which I don't find offputting. If you're chemically sensitive you'll love this. The only thing I don't use it for is shampoo. It doesn't clean well enough, and gums up my hair quickly. I even pulverize this in my food processor and add it to my laundry for a boost.
- Hannah Deppner
Kiss My Face Olive Oil Bar Soap
This is a very soothing soap. My skin feels moist and soft when I use it.
- Corrine
Olive Oil Soap
Love it
- Deborah
Sensitive Soap
I have very sensitive skin that easily dries out in the winter. This soap has been amazing! Not overly soaping, but enough bubbles, I've used it on my skin when I shave.
- Michelle
Love kiss my fave olive oil soap
I get this three pack and the lavender scent 8oz bar. Honey was my favorite but can't seem to find it any longer. What I do is leave Bar In the top shelf in my shower so it dries back out after each use....it won't make a mess if you do this. The first bar I made the mistake of using a soap dish. The plain bars do have a soap not so beautiful scent but it's natural not as other have described. The smell doesn't stink on your skin, and this soap won't make your skin dry. I have been using this brand for 4 years now and never need lotion, perviously in the winter time I constantly needed lotion, when I used other soaps.
- Thrive User
Great value
This soap creates a nice lather, good on sensitive skin and hard bars that last a long time. If you are looking for something with a pleasant smell, this is not it. True to it's origin, the olive oil notes are very dominate.
- Amber
All Natural
I like the idea that is has two or three ingredients. I enjoy using it. I feel clean!
- Smalls
too messy
made huge gloppy green mess even when we used a draining soap dish.
- Peni
Lots of Soap
Lots of Soap for what you pay, which is great! I liked these for the most part, my only complaints is that they disintegrate in water really quick- but that's the case with many natural bars soaps. Left my hands feeling clean.
- Carey
Smells Awful
My husband said it best: "This smells like a mechanics garage". And it does. It smells like a by-product of petroleum. We threw out all 3 bars without even putting on our skin it smells so bad...
- Carla
really nice
these are really nice very simple but nice and the bars are big
- river
I used to buy this product at a local health store - one bar at a time for $2.50ea! THIS is savings. The product is extremely moisturizing and gentle. My eczema thanks Kiss My Face!

Nissan automobile enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their 370Z around town. Obviously, you bought your 370Z because you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and driver satisfaction both impeccably combined into one vehicle. When your Nissan 370Z left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values economical pricing in their automobile. It's not every day that you find yourself in need of a replacement Drive & Serpentine Belt to repair your car or truck.
One of the keys to maintaining an operational engine and full use of your accessories is keeping an eye on your drive belts. Your Nissan 370Z drive or serpentine belts transmit power from the crankshaft to these accessories. But since they are traveling at such high speeds, they can be prone to breaking; potentially leaving your engine without the use of its A/C compressor, water pump, or more. Nissan 370Z engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
Ordering new Nissan parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement 370Z parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Nissan 370Z part for your project or repair. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Need 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 Nissan 370Z Drive & Serpentine Belt parts? We've got them right here.

I recently changed the two rear tyres on my x3 m sport (2 michelin pilots). Since then, the x drive can be heard to "rumble" when taking up drive, changing from 1st to second, sometimes 2nd to 3rd and on disengaging the clutch. It also feels as if there is a short slight slip (as if the clutch was slipping) during acceleration.
I've had the x drive checked under warranty and have been assured the drive is ok - problem is tyres i.e. Tyre tread pattern and depth is to different from front to rear (new michelin pilots with full tread to rear - dunlop other with circa 2 - 3 mm tread to front). Causing the x drive system to try and compensate for grip difference and thus the noise. * nb the correct tyre sizes are fitted to both axles (wider lower profile to rear).
Has anyone experienced this or can confirm the problem, before I fork out another 400 quid on tyres ? If it is the case, it'll be good to know on tyre selection and timing for other owners.

Do you know that castor oil can actually get rid of acne? In fact, it has many surprising beauty and health benefits, such as keeping your skin looking young and healthy. It prevents, treats and heals acne and reduces the presence of scarring.
So in case you are fed up of those acne scars on your face and couldn't do much about it, castor oil is something you should start using right away!
Want to know how this wonder oil helps in treating acne? Then go ahead and read this post!
[ Read: Baking Soda For Treating Acne ]
Castor Oil For Acne – How It Works:
When skin impurities get collected and cause irritation, acne results with accompanying inflammation. Castor oil plays a brilliant role in extracting all the dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria, excess oil and other impurities and unclogs the pores.
For this reason, castor oil is considered very effective for getting rid of acne, the method being called the 'oil cleansing method.' By this method, castor oil penetrates the skin and gets rid of a majority of acne breakouts.
How Castor Oil Is Used To Get Rid Of Acne:
By following this step-by-step method, you can use castor oil successfully on acne-sensitive skin and prevent any further development of acne. But before actually following the below-mentioned steps, it is necessary to do a patch test to see if castor oil suits you.
For this, steam your face with hot water so that your pores open. Then, apply castor oil on all the acne-prone parts of your complexion. If there is no reaction, you can keep the oil overnight. If there is some reaction, rinse your face immediately.
[ Read: Use Olive Oil To Get Rid Of Acne Scars ]
Steps To Use Castor Oil To Get Rid Of Acne:
- Get a few towels ready and boil some water in a pot. Pour out the water into a pan.
- Cover your head with the towel and bend your head over the pan of hot water.
- You will soon find your pores opening up and getting ready for castor oil treatment.
- Use circular movements to massage the oil into the acne-sensitive spots of your face, shoulders, back, chest and legs.
- Wet another towel in warm water and wipe your face with it to get rid of the castor oil.
- Now, bathe your skin with cold water to contract your pores.
- Wipe your skin dry and top it up with castor oil to moisturize it.
If you carry out this treatment for two weeks, you can see a significant change in your skin. If you want to use it to prevent the further occurrence of acne, you should make sure not to use castor oil for more than a couple of times each week.
How Castor Oil Can Be Used:
You can use castor oil either in the form of oil, as we know it, or in the form of soap bars or facial cleansers.
1. Soap Bars:
These days, castor oil is a prominent component of organic and natural facial soaps, thanks to its cleansing properties. To use these soap bars, wet your face using warm water and wet the soap bar with tap water. Work up lather in your palms and massage your face with it. Rinse your face with warm water and follow it up with cold water to help close your pores.
[ Read: Banana Peel To Treat Acne ]
2. Facial Cleansers:
Beauty experts say that the potent effects of castor oil must be diluted by mixing it with some essential oils. To make a facial cleanser using castor oil, remember to add a lot of sunflower oil. If you have oily skin, use 75% of sunflower oil.
Castor oil is a silent worker that not many people look to for results anymore, but it is still effective and can be relied upon for prevention and treatment of acne.
Now that you know how to use castor oil for acne, make sure to use it as required! Have you ever applied castor oil for acne prone skin? What were the results? Do you know of other ways how castor oil can help maintain a healthy skin? Share with us in the comments section!

Hello All,
I told Donald (Eaves) that I would let him know how the lone pod that set on 'American Sweetheart' developed. Well I probably picked it a little early (note the white seeds) but it seems to have produced a good number of well-formed seeds. I'll have to try 'Norah's Thrill' on it again next year, since that was the only pollen that worked. Looks like it's not infertile after all - just extremely picky about partners.

Broadcasters like to wrap the FA Cup in nostalgia and treat its history and traditions with reverence. ESPN, who screened the first of three fourth-round ties in two days yesterday, is pioneering a more experimental approach.
The US sports network, unknown in the UK until buying the Premier League rights surrendered by Setanta in June 2009, has persuaded non-League teams in the early rounds of the competition to allow cameras into dressing rooms. The channel's main presenter, Ray Stubbs, has anchored coverage from pitch-side within touching distance of players, including at Everton yesterday, though he will not be doing so today, when Arsenal play Huddersfield and Fulham host Tottenham – Premier League sides tend to be less accommodating than lower-league clubs. In the last round the Crawley Town manager, Steve Evans, donned a headset so he could be interviewed during the non-League side's game against Derby.
ESPN may not have revolutionised British football in the manner of Rupert Murdoch's Sky Sports, whose current big noise about their 20th anniversary celebrations has been drowned out by the Andy Gray-Richard Keys furore, but the American broadcaster is adding a few flourishes to the televised game. Another innovation, announced last week on the day of Keys's departure, is offering viewers a choice of which game they want to watch. A poll that will run until Monday week asks them to vote for the more appealing of two international friendlies ESPN can screen on Wednesday 9 February, France v Brazil or Germany v Italy. Whichever game gets more votes will be broadcast live, with the other delayed.
This is part of a conscious attempt to position ESPN as a broadcaster who "brings the fans in closer", according to Jeroen Oerlemans, the Dutch executive who runs ESPN's European channels. That is part of a wider strategy to convince domestic audiences in the countries in which it operates that ESPN is local, despite the fact that it is part of the American corporate giant Walt Disney, the world's largest media conglomerate. With a market value of $75bn and annual profits of $4bn, Disney dwarfs Sky's main shareholder, News Corp (annual profit $2.5bn), the $40bn group founded, controlled and run by Murdoch and his family.
Sky Sports is under a cloud after the departures of Gray and Keys. Although their lewd exchanges are unlikely to damage the company in the long-term, ESPN, part of a Disney group that trumpets its family-friendly image wherever possible, will be doing its best to capitalise on the negative publicity.
ESPN's arrival in the UK could prove a seminal moment for the world's richest football league, for fans and for Sky. For the first time the pay-TV company established and part-owned by Murdoch is sharing Premier League rights with a company whose size and ambition exceeds its own. Toby Syfret, an analyst at the media consultancy Enders Analysis, says: "ESPN is fully owned by Disney. You don't get any bigger than that in entertainment."
The sports network became a cash cow for Disney by carving out a dominant position in the American home market. Syfret adds: "ESPN is in the US what Sky Sports is in the UK – absolute No1 in sports." It also has a larger global reach than Sky, operating 46 channels outside the US in more than 200 countries, with 300m subscribers, and further international expansion is a key goal.
Marketing sports content overseas is less straightforward than building channels on the back of TV shows or films which have universal appeal, however. "The issue for ESPN in any other country is that its big sports rights are national – for the US market – and no help in gaining distribution in other countries," Syfret says. Nascar motor racing and NFL may be popular in Nashville but they do not rate well in Milton Keynes.
That is why ESPN pounced when Setanta went into administration 18 months ago, a move that cost the FA and Premier League tens of millions of pounds. It was a good outcome for the broadcaster, allowing it to pick up Premier League games and establish a foothold in one of the world's most lucrative markets – without having to take part in an auction against Sky. "The great thing about the UK is there's an absolute acceptance about pay-TV being in the market. That's not the same everywhere," says Russell Wolff, managing director of ESPN International. "We saw a gap in the market without having to wait for the rights cycle to come up."
Entering Sky's home market was a bold move by ESPN. Syfret points out that the two companies are partners as well as rivals; the Disney Channel is hugely important for News Corp's network of pay-TV platforms around the world, for example. ESPN's arrival in the UK will have been sanctioned by Disney's most senior executives, who must ensure the delicate equilibrium that exists between the two media giants around the world is preserved.
Senior executives at ESPN emphasise that relations with News Corp and Sky are cordial, pointing out that Sky market ESPN to their subscribers in the UK and that the US network piggy-backs on the Sky platform. ESPN's biggest audience was 917,000, when Manchester United played Tottenham in October last year, but they will not reveal how many customers they have. Syfret estimates the number at 1.2 million, about the same as Setanta. Sky have more than 10 million customers, though not all of them subscribe to their sports channels.
Wolff says ESPN is happy for Sky to be the senior partner in the UK. "There will be markets where we bid against each other; there are other territories where we will not. You could have a very good second position in a market if that's the best business model you can build at that time." He adds: "We have a complex, multifaceted relationship with Sky [but] complex relationships aren't new to us. We just have to manage that."
Despite these conciliatory noises, most industry observers expect ESPN, backed by Disney's deep pockets, to bid for at least two of the six packages of Premier League games when negotiations over the next series of three-year deals – from the 2014-15 season onwards – begin next year. ESPN has already demonstrated its is here to stay in the UK by acquiring the rights to Guinness Premiership Rugby at the end of last year as well as some Europa League football, and it is widely expected to add more sports to their portfolio. It has also bought three websites – cricinfo, soccernet and scrum.com – rebranding them under the ESPN name. "We've gone from being not particularly a player in the UK to being a well-known brand in a very short time," Wolff says. "We know we've come a long way with fans."
Stubbs, who has already anchored 11 games this year – without questioning the credentials of a female match official, either on air or off – boasts: "We're going to need a second channel soon."
From the start of this season ESPN has had fewer Premier League games than in the previous campaign – 23 instead of 46 – and they include a relatively small number of big games. The FA Cup usually throws up a few dramatic upsets and they are televising every round, up to and including the final. The tournament is a showcase event for a company that aims to become part of the nation's sporting fabric, a trick it has pulled off in dozens of countries, from Argentina to China, despite its roots being planted firmly in America's vibrant, but unique, sporting culture.
Oerlemans, who set up ESPN's UK channel in a little over six weeks, says: "This was one of the most important things we spoke about at length. We wanted to be UK-orientated and not in any way, shape or form an American sports channel. The UK is clearly less brash. We are a lot more down to earth. We take the sport seriously but [we don't take] ourselves too seriously."
But sport is a serious business, both here and in the US. In America, ESPN has invested heavily in new technologies, including HD and 3D, just as Sky has in its own home market. According to reports in America, ESPN is on the verge of renewing its contract for Monday night NFL games in a 10-year deal that will cost nearly $2bn (£1.3bn) a year. That is more than double the £540m a year Sky spends on their Premier League rights, which guarantees the company complete dominance of English football.
ESPN's relationship with US sports bodies means it could prove a useful partner for those sports that have an eye on overseas expansion. ESPN will screen the first ever regular-season NBA games, between the New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors, at London's 02 Arena in the first week of March, though it will take a feed from its US parent rather than sending a domestic team.
Syfret estimates that ESPN could be losing anywhere up to £20m a year in the UK but for a hugely profitable company those losses are negligible. Like Sky, it can afford to build market-leading positions by spending heavily and waiting patiently for the investments to pay off.
"Whatever Disney may or may not decide about the value of its UK asset, its deep pockets mean that it does not have to feel rushed into any decision," Syfret says. The early rounds of the FA Cup are unlikely to represent the summit of ESPN's UK ambitions.

- "Everything" by Michael Buble
- "When I fall in love" performed by Natalie Cole
- We're going to do either "Heavenly Day" by Patty Griffin OR "Grow Old With Me" by Mary Chapin Carpenter. We were going to do "At Last" but decided that we didn't feel it the way the others spoke to us ;)
- Good luck in finding your song!!! Here are some links so you can hear what we're considering, you never know- one of them might speak to you...

- it will be "Never Gonna Be Alone" by Nickelback. =) I'm so glad it's finally on the radio - now I can hear it all the time!
- Ours will be Madonna- Crazy for you.
- We're having a hard time picking out a song too. We've changed it sooo many times but I'm really liking this one now.
- Sam Cooke-Nothing Can Change This Love

- Jason Mraz-I'm Yours
- The Way I Am- Ingrid Michaelson

- Far Away - Nickelback
- "Then" Brad Paisley

They also know how to think about solving problems. They use "computational thinking": breaking a problem down into segments that lend themselves to technical solutions. Code Clinic is a series of six courses where lynda.com authors solve the same problems using different programming languages. Here, Barron Stone works with Python. Each month, Barron will introduce a new challenge and provide an overview of his solution in Python, explaining how he broke the problem up into logical components, and revealing the difficulties he encountered. Challenges will include topics such as statistical analysis, searching directories for images, and accessing peripheral devices. Visit other courses in the series to see how to solve the exact same challenge in languages like C#, C++, Java, PHP, and Ruby. And check back every month for new challenges.

Let me declare an interest. I worked for BBC News for five years until 2007 and I have watched the media storm around the organisation with sadness but not surprise. As a former BBC hack one of the most interesting things to emerge from the organisation's horror show over the past few days is the gulf between senior management and the journalists and producers on the ground. Now of course, there is such a divide in every firm and organisation big or small across the UK but I think it's particularly acute at the BBC.
Management structures are often described as byzantine and at the BBC this is no cliché. Managers in the main have incredibly poorly defined job descriptions and areas of responsibility – this breeds a culture of land-grabbing and building fiefdoms within the organisation. All too often it is not about producing the best programming but about protecting one's fiefdom and perhaps grabbing a little bit of responsibility and power from a fellow manager.
Amongst this elite – and this is one point where the BBC's sharpest critics do have a real point – there is overpay, with dozens of executives paid more than the Prime Minister and certainly more than they would earn in the private sector (although this was always used as an excuse by previous Director General's). And when one of the senior executives does lose their job – normally this involves a slow erosion of their powerbase by a competing executive – they tend to walk away with an eye-wateringly high pay off and pension.
Contrast this with the reporters and producers – they tend not to be well paid, redundancy is a constant threat (I remember in one round of redundancy during my time at the BBC only a handful of managers departed while hundreds of reporters etc were shown the door) and they are pressed beneath a management system of nods and winks and competition blood-red in tooth and claw.
Those below soon get to know that they are expected to tow a certain line but that line is never quite clear until a perceived transgression is made; neither in fact is where the buck really stops and who is the line manager is. This engenders a culture of low level fear and professional arse-covering (witness the journalists producing precise email trails for the decision to pull the Savile piece).
Us and Them
No surprise, because post-Hutton Inquiry, senior managers have thrown the lower orders to the wolves. Remember the ridiculous case of the poor Blue Peter staffer fired by a senior manager following the exposure that a poll to change the name of a cat had been rigged and on a much bigger scale; or thousands of staff being uprooted in an expensive and facile move to Manchester. These were pure 'Us and them', but don't even scratch the surface.
This management structure at the BBC matters when it came to Savile. There may well be no killer email in Mr Rippon's inbox from a more senior manager but despite Mr Rippon's denials I find it impossible to believe that the piece wasn't pulled either on a nod and a wink from above or simply to carry favour.
The crisis engulfing the BBC isn't due to poor journalistic practices – in fact the Newsnight reporters were exemplary – nor as one commentator put it "rule bound, strictly hierarchical" management (most BBC staffers wish things were that clear) – but instead it's a reflection of a management living in a perpetual state of dark-age chaos.

I just bought a Bluelabs truncheon to test my nutrients. I have gone online and found all sorts of suggestions for a good ppm range for the stuff. Can you tell me a good range to keep it in?
Answer from Stella:
First mix up a fresh batch of your favorite nutrient solution, following the bottle directions carefully. Then measure the PPM or EC of this fresh solution using your new truncheon. Then try to stay close to that number in the future. Keep in mind this is not an exact number, and it will definitely vary as water evaporates and nutrients are used.
But here is a good general range for most plants:
ppm--- 1120-1680
Danger zone/ too strong: OVER 2,000 PPM (OVER 2.8 EC)
And here is a large chart for specific vegetables EC-PH Chart
So what the heck is a truncheon, you ask? It is an electronic stick meter which helps you keep your nutrient solution the right strength. It is fairly expensive, but very nice to have for troubleshooting a full garden of adult plants that has suddenly gone south.
Read more about this, our favorite brand of truncheon, here:
Bluelab Truncheon Meter
Hope this helps!

The projections are presented for males and females at the national level for all cancers combined, as well as the most commonly diagnosed cancers.
It is important to note that projections are not intended to function as exact forecasts, but to give an indication of what might be expected if the stated assumptions were to apply over the projected time frame.
The number of cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia is projected to rise over the next decade for both males and females and is expected to reach about 150,000 in 2020—an increase of almost 40% from 2007. Increases in the number of cases diagnosed are due primarily to the ageing and increasing population and are expected to be most evident in older populations.
Cancer incidence in males is highly influenced by prostate cancer, which accounts for about 30% of all cases. Assuming incidence of prostate cancer stabilises in the future, it is projected that the overall age-standardised rate of cancer in males will fall from 595 to about 568 cases per 100,000 males between 2007 and 2020. With the anticipated changes to the population, this equates to about 85,000 new cases expected to be diagnosed in 2020. Conversely, the overall age-standardised rate of cancer incidence in females is projected to rise from 394 to about 408 cases per 100,000 females between 2007 and 2020, which equates to about 65,000 new cases expected to be diagnosed in 2020.
While the total number of cases diagnosed is expected to rise for each of the cancers analysed in this report, changes in underlying incidence rates vary depending on existing trends for each cancer type. Table 1 presents an overview of the expected changes for each cancer type.
For males, prostate cancer is expected to remain the most common cancer diagnosed in 2020 (25,300 cases), followed by bowel cancer and melanoma of the skin (about 10,800 cases each) and lung cancer (7,500 cases). For females, breast cancer is projected to continue to be the most common cancer diagnosed in 2020 (17,200 cases), followed by bowel cancer (9,200), melanoma (6,800) and lung cancer (6,100).
Age-standardised rates for liver cancer are projected to increase by 38% from 2007 to 2020 in males and 78% in females, while thyroid cancer rates are projected to increase by 33% in males and 62% in females. Increases are also expected in rates for melanoma (30% males; 18% females), testicular cancer (25%) and lung cancer in females (16%).
Age-standardised rates of stomach cancer are expected to fall by 25% from 2007 to 2020 for males and 20% for females. Additionally, bladder (19%), lung (15%) and pancreatic (14%) cancer rates for males are also projected to fall.

- - Halman 27 or Nordica 30? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/54192-halman-27-nordica-30-a.html)
Halman 27 or Nordica 30?
Hello all,
I'm purchasing one of two boats and would like some advice on the pros and cons of each. The Halman is a fin keel with a skeg rudder and the Nordica is a full keel. I would like to know which is more seaworthy in large bodies of water and any tips on how the two boats handle. I would assume the Halman would be considerably faster, is that true?
Thanks for your help
The Halman's probably as fast as the Nordica, since they have about the same LWL, and the Halman's lighter, but the Nordica is probably the more seaworthy of the two.
I like a full keel but I am Wimpy the sailor girl ( so why is it always raining and 30 knots plus when I go out?!?!)and feeling secure in weather is important to me.
So from what i'm gathering the Halman isn't as seaworthy, and there is no difference in the speed of the two boats? Is the Halman seaworthy enough to make it from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas? That's the trip I will make most often.
How good are your sailing skills? A bad ass sailor can take anything, anywhere. Mere mortals, such as myself look for a quality boat with features to lessen the -at times really steep- learning curve of sailing.
With a good weather window, either of them would be able to make that trip... The Nordica is the more seaworthy of the two IMHO.
But, as Mimsy said, a lot of it depends on how skilled the captain and crew are. :)
Pack a lot of food and water :) ...although the Halman might have a 1/2 knot edge neither of those boats are anywhere near what would be considered quick. (...but they are both pretty safe bets as far as seaworthiness goes - I'd probably take the Nordica over the Halman).
My only issue now is the considerable price difference. For the Nordica they are asking $23,000 Canadian and for the Halman they are only asking $17,000 Canadian. The Halman is in better condition but I agree I would rather have the Nordica. It's a tough decision.
What about a Catalina 30? How does that compare? I've also found one of those in my price range.
The Catalina 30 is a lot beamier than either of the others, and as such will provide a lot more room below. It is also probably faster than the others. However, it is probably the least seaworthy of the three boats.

"There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." So says the silly atheist advertisement that has been making its way around London on the side of buses. While Ariane Sherine is the inspiration behind the cruising commercials, Richard Dawkins has inserted his publicity seeking self (or accepted an invitation to have his publicity seeking self partake) as the face of the movement. I earlier commented on Dawkins' interview with an irrelevant atheist interviewer in a blog entitled It's Easy Not to Worry When You Ignore the Problems, but now I want to return to what originally drove me to the story.
On the Last Laugh, blogger Laughing Boy published a short article about the advertisement. Entitled Dick says, "Enjoy your life", Laughing Boy posted a photo of Richard Dawkins standing between the memorable Ariane Sherine and the forgettable Polly Toynbee clearly showing Dawkins' right hand resting rather low (some would say scandalously low) on Ms. Sherine's backside. Laughing Boy noted,
The 'visual context' of the ad seems basically to be saying, "Hey, I can grope this woman as much as I want, despite my marriage, and frankly I'm thinking of going further the first moment I get a chance (if I haven't done so already) -- AND YOU CAN, TOO! ISN'T ATHEISM GREAT!?"
While I don't want to suggest that Dawkins has gone farther with Ms. Sherine, he has a point. Laughing Boy continued by asking a few very pertinent questions -- the last of which was the most pertinent and which he most directly answered:
Is this the first ever ad campaign for a philosophical position? Who's paying for these ads and how widespread are they? How successful can they possibly be? What couldn't that brunette [Ms. Sherine] sell me? Is she cold? Is Dawkins' left hand as far down the older woman's backside [Ms. Toynbee] as his right hand is on hers? This lead naturally to the most obvious question—as believer in God, what worries inhibit my enjoyment of life?
Laughing Boy is onto something here. What does belief in God hinder in the typical person? Well, I suspect that belief in God can be seen as repressing a person's desire to engage in sins that the person may want to pursue. So, I suppose that belief in God leads some not to rob the local bank, although I suspect that the risk of going to jail would be enough to disuade most people. And it's equally true that belief in God probably has disuaded at least one person from killing his neighbor when her dog does its business in the wrong front yard. But it hardly seems reasonable that the bus ad should be saying "There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and start killing your neighbor when her dog piddles on your bushes." So, I suspect that the ad is aiming at other things.
I'm fairly certain that the type of activities that skeptics believe God interferes with are the social vices: gambling, drinking, sex, smoking, drug use, etc. Perhaps, what Icky Dick is really saying is "There's probably no God, so stop worrying and get plastered if you want." Maybe he's saying, "There's probably no God, so stop worrying and gamble away the family fortune." Of course, these vices are what can be called "Anonymous sins." All of them are addictive, so they all come with support groups that contain the name "Anonymous", e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous or Nicotine Anonymous. That adds a new slant on the advertisement. What Icky Dick may be saying is "There's probably no God, so stop worrying and engage in addictive, self-destructive behavior." Yup, this is sounding more appealing all the time.
In all sincerity, I have been avoiding the most obvious solution to what the existence of God may cause Mr. Dawkins, Ms. Toynbee and the other God-deniers to worry about. It is the biggest of the social vices and the same answer that Dawkins' overly enthusiastic right hand suggested.
...as believer in God, what worries inhibit my enjoyment of life? The answer was just as obvious. I was worried that I displeased God with my fleeting desire to be Richard's right-hand man. I felt ashamed that I had never confessed and sought forgiveness for my infatuation with thin chicks of Mediterranean heritage. All became clear. God was interfering in my sex life. If I would only lay aside my belief in God and His meddling ways, that brunette—or another like her, or not like her at all, anybody who struck my fancy—would be mine for the taking.
Yes, belief in God (at least, as He is accurately described in Christianity) clearly inhibits rampant sexual gratification. In God's world, sex is supposed to occur only between two people of different genders within a marital relationship. That definitely throws a monkey wrench in the whole copulate copiously thing. So obviously if God exists then that should be something to worry about to the free love crowd. So, this makes a great deal of sense out of the bus ad because now the saying is "There's probably no God, so stop worrying and start ..." well, you can fill in the rest. (Of course, free love isn't exactly free -- it isn't working out too well for Tiger Woods.)
Is this what we ought not worry about? It seems to fit, but I personally believe that the ad is addressing a mixture of several of the social vices and free sex. But I think that Dawkins' bus-bound advertisement is not so much a cry for freedom from the sexual limits placed on us by a good and holy creator, as an unrecognized acknowledgement of a common argument for God's existence.
What exactly is the common thread of all of these possible things about which we need to stop worrying? They all relate to moral limitations that God has placed upon us as the result of his holy, moral nature. So, the advertisement is actually saying that belief in God is causing people to worry that they are breaking the moral laws put forth by God. Logically, if there is no God then you are free to do what you want. So, here is the new configuration of the bus ad: "There is no moral lawgiver, so stop worrying and do what you want because you can't violate His moral law."
Isn't that admitting the main points behind the Moral Argument for the Existence of God? I mean, the ad is basically implying that if there is a God then there are moral laws that we must follow. (A very logical conclusion.) But since there is probably no God, i.e., there is probably no moral lawgiver, then morality is subjective and relative and we are free to do whatever we want that makes us temporally happy. Isn't that the mirror-image of what Christians argue when they say that that without God there is no way to explain morality? And isn't the fact that we have to be told not to worry by atheists while we ride the bus home from the office evidence that Romans 1 is correct when it teaches that God's law is written on our hearts which is what leads us to feel guilty when we violate that law?
For myself, I suggest that the better bus ad would read, "There's probably no God...aw, who are we kidding? You have to be in serious denial to believe there's probably no God." That's an ad that is truly something to consider.
