The headaches began when the dreams began.
In the dreams, people would talk without pauses or inflection. Sentences had no beginning, no end. There were no commas, semi-colons, or colons. No dashes – no question marks – no periods. There were also no compound words – no "can'ts", no "wont's", no possessives.
It made the dialogue sound like that of political pundits. It was delivered rapidly, with urgency. Almost with a despair that all the words would not come out fast enough, that the ideas needed to be emptied from the mind and poured out quickly or they would sour and turn on the speaker.
In the dream she was trying to write it all down so that it could be reviewed later, sorted, and understood. But she couldn't write fast enough. Or type fast enough. And when she tried to use a tape recorder, the tape ran out before the dialogue and she was out of tape and even if she'd had more tape, she would have missed yards of dialogue before she managed to change it.
The topics were pretty far ranging, from the life span of a maple tree to Luther Burbank's experiments with plant life to the weather in the Arctic and the destruction of the rainforest. There was also a series of dreams about fertility, and the use of corn to make plastic and biodegradable diapers. Quilting came up quite often, and knitting patterns generated by computer. Brain development was a recurring theme, and the life span of the fruit fly. Time management appeared as ads when the speakers simply ran out of breath, with either a very old woman or a very young one, sometimes interspersed with comments by either a beaver or a newt.
Where did all this information come from? She couldn't remember having much interest in any of it, and yet it seemed to be there somewhere in her brain. She couldn't have made it all up – the few facts she remembered, she checked, and they were accurate. She felt as if she were channeling Wikipedia or the nature channel when she slept.
This went on for an entire week, and then suddenly, she stopped dreaming altogether. At least she stopped remembering her dreams. The headaches went away.
She was relieved, and decided that it must have been something she ate, or a virus. She went on a cleaning spree, and started sorting out the clutter that had become oppressive. She signed up for a class, started a diet, and changed her hair color.
People commented about how well she looked, how rested. She found that odd, because she had never worked so hard in her life. But she was pleased. She went on a cruise, to celebrate.
When she got back she found that everything looked a little different. The light seemed to fall in different patterns on the walls and floors. All of the furniture had shifted, it seemed, just a bit – either to the right or the left. Plants in the garden looked as if they had been treated to hormones or special fertilizer. Everything was brighter, sharper. The intensity was exhausting.
She found that time was moving faster and faster, and each day seemed shorter than the last. Soon she was racing to keep up with the hours, to get through the ordinary tasks of housekeeping, cooking, personal grooming. When she slept it seemed like she had only napped for 20 minutes, and it was time to start again. She would have a conversation on the phone and think that it had lasted only a few minutes, and find that it had gone on for an hour, or longer. Water boiled in seconds, and tea turned cold just as fast.
She stopped trying to keep up. She watched the day unfurl and furl, like a stop-motion picture that records a day in two minutes. She was buffeted by time, and was powerless to remove herself from its relentless changes.
Then, quite suddenly, things began to slow. In fact, nothing moved, not even time, when she was still. It was only when she moved, that the day progressed at all. She had to drag the hours forward. And when she finally fell, exhausted, into bed, the dreams began again.
This time the dialogue was clipped, the sentences declaratory, with all the proper punctuation. The themes were now centered on home improvement, the history of antiques, the journals of the civil war, and cooking. The ads were now provided by survivors of the great depression, with graphic pictures of what poverty had done. Extinct animals spoke as well, making blistering statements about pollution and global warming. The Nothosaurus was particularly biting in its comments.
When she returned to consciousness she would find that no time had passed. The kettle was still trying to boil, seemingly just beginning again when she woke up, or the cat was still grooming itself. The clock said 9:00, or 10:00 as it had when she went to bed.
The headaches returned.
She wanted to talk to someone about what was happening, but realized she couldn't explain it properly, she had no words to make it clear to someone else just what seemed to be either a fiction of her own making, or a phenomenon that was only apparent to her. Of course she wondered if she was going mad. But she was paralyzed in her own drama, unable to reach out.
People still called, she still carried on normal conversations (at least she thought she did) and no one seemed to be concerned. No one ever said "Are you alright?" No one ever seemed to notice the way time had become unreliable, when they came to call.
She did not go out, though. She had her groceries delivered, and started coloring her own hair.
She began to feel as if she were Alice, but instead of eating a pill or part of a mushroom, she had swallowed time, and the results had been disastrous. What can you do if you swallow time?
Wait. She felt the only remedy was to wait, and to keep dragging bits of it forward as best she could. She grew very tired, and each day was able to do less, until finally she just stopped. Everything stopped with her. The cat closed its eyes and went to sleep. The clock ticked one more time, and went silent. The plants shut down their tender roots and stopped taking up water, refused to engage in photosynthesis, and withered.
It was dark as night in the middle of the day. In the stillness and the silence, she slept a deep and dreamless sleep for a long, long time. In the moments just before waking, when the sleep that had dragged her down was lightening and continuing to thin, she had the kind of dream that she had as a child. She could leap huge distances with no effort, and if she chose, she could fly. She skimmed along over a long road and then stretched her arms out and lifted herself, catching the wind.
The wind carried her to a forest, and settled her gently on a path. It pushed her forward, nudging her to walk, until she found herself in front of a kind of hostelry. The sign over the door said STITCH INN. She rang the bell. She could hear it echoing over and over, as if the sound were carried down a long hallway.
An old woman dressed, or rather draped, in all the colors of the rainbow, answered the door.
"Come in, come in…Selene, isn't that right? Although why your parents decided on such an old fashioned name I never did understand. Oh my, don't you look worried! Not to worry, dearie. You're in a safe place, though I can tell you find it a bit odd. Come through."
She was led straight into a sitting room, with a fire burning in the grate. There was no hallway at all, one room opened directly into another. In this room there was a loom, and an embroidery stand with what appeared to be a sampler in progress. It was quite cozy, and for some reason, familiar. A small moon hovered in one corner, waxing and waning.
"Sit down, sit down. We need to talk, you and I. Or maybe you just need to listen. I do think I understand where you are coming from, and why; although I doubt you have a clue. It's not usual that I need to actually summon someone, but that's what I had to do in your case. It was going to be too dangerous to keep dropping hints, and giving you exercises. You kept fighting me, you see. That can have disastrous results. You were getting very tired, and my, my -- don't you show it! Have some tea, it's there right by your chair."
Selene turned in the direction the old woman indicated, and there was a steaming cup of tea. She sipped it, and immediately became calmer, more focused.
"I am Mother Time," the old woman said. "I know everyone still thinks it's Father Time, and indeed I used to be Father time, but I found that manifestation of myself pretty cumbersome. Especially after the industrial 'revolution' as they call it. Kept getting wound up in the machinery. Wasn't good for anybody. And there is a general understanding that women can usually multi-task better than men. So I became Mother Time. Funny how few have noticed. Oh well, it doesn't really matter. But you seem to be having a great deal of trouble just now. That's why you were summoned."
The old woman grew silent, and began to work on the embroidery.
The little moon waxed and waned twice, and then the old woman spoke again. "There are people who say they have bags of time, but you are not one of those people, are you? And there are those who say they have no time, but you are not one of those people either. Actually, you have no understanding about time at all. You don't seem to realize that it's not a march, or a hall. It is not something you run out of. It doesn't shift sand; gravity and wind do that, and water. It is not a point, you cannot really bag it or save it. You cannot use it wisely, either. All you can do, actually, is be in it. People think they can manage it, but that isn't true either. Everyone has their own way of being in time. Until you are comfortable with the fact that how you are in it is unique to you and that your contribution to the rest of the world is just to be as you are, in time, you will not find happiness. You will stand outside of time and it will push you and pull you, or stop for you entirely. And you will be angry, and frustrated by it."
The old woman looked up from her work and saw that Selene was crying. She put away her needle and got up from her work. She offered a handkerchief, and said "You were pulled outside of your own time when you were a little girl. I saw it happen, and it saddened me. You were caught by other people's misuse of time, and you were powerless to change that. But now you are free to do so. Make this your task, my dear. Learn to be comfortable in time, with time. Recognize it as your friend, and not your enemy. Realize, fully, that you do have all the time in the world. Everyone does. Be free, in time. Now we must get you back to your own world, and your own life. In good time!" The old woman laughed.
The dream became nothing more than the colors the old woman was wearing, and the colors shifted and grew fainter and fainter until there was only a warm sweetness in the air around her. She woke up. And even though the calendar and the clock had moved ahead, she knew that there was still plenty of time. And that she would be in it just as she was, entirely as herself, and do with it whatever she found to do that pleased her.
It was chilly in the room. She lit a fire, and went to make some tea. She had no headache, none at all.

Learn to Grow Your Own Food
Work with your mom or dad this summer and you can grow your own fruits and vegetables at home.
Here's how:
- Pick a place for the garden. You'll probably need help from your mom and dad to decide where in the yard to build your garden. Make sure your garden gets plenty of sunlight!
- Plant your seeds. Dig small holes in the dirt, drop in a few seeds and then cover the holes with dirt.
- Water your plants. Make sure you put on a little bit of water to make the dirt damp, but don't use too much or you'll drown your plants.
- Pick the fruits and vegetables. Once your plants start to grow you have to pick the fruits and vegetables. Some you can rinse off with water and then eat right away, but others you might want to save to make a special dinner with. Ask your parents for help in the kitchen and you can make a meal with the food you grew.
If you really enjoy gardening, check out how you can become a Junior Master Gardener.

Michael Ray is an artist with superior vocal abilities and a powerful presence to match. This remarkably humble Florida native leaves an indelible stamp on his audience and all those whom he touches with his music.
Michael grew up in central Florida on ten acres of land, with his entire family living in different homes on various spots of the property. The closeness of his family has become a metaphor for his entire life. "We are a very close clan; we do everything together. My grandparents are my greatest personal influences. I am very lucky to have grown up with the tight-knit family I did," he says, recalling some of his early memories of being a toddler onstage with his musical family at their nightly gigs. "I had a Kermit the Frog guitar, and my family made sure I was a part of the show."
Despite his relatively young age, Michael has already performed more shows than most new artists do in their first several years of touring. He started performing publicly as a guest with his grandfather's band at thirteen years old. At sixteen, Michael started playing at the Florida Sunshine Opry where he began to build his own fan base and had the opportunity to play with a number of country music legends. "I was able to play the Opry in Eustis, Florida where I was fortunate enough to play with Porter Wagoner, Ray Price, and Bobby Bare to name a few." From the beginning he has been playing the music of Bobby Bare, Hank Williams Sr., Gene Watson, and Earl Thomas Conley. Michael has always had a true love and respect for the founders of country music. You can see it, feel it, and hear it when listening to or watching Michael to this day.
In 2010 Michael was writing with Jeff Hurst and Jeff Bates, when Jeff Bates introduced Michael to Tony Conway, who immediately signed Michael to management. At that point, things really started to move forward for the hard-working and enthusiastic artist.
Michael began touring around the country and was soon sought out to perform on a national television show on the CW Network called "The Next." The show's mentors were John Rich (Big & Rich), Gloria Estefan, Nelly, and Joe Jonas (The Jonas Brothers). After appearing in four episodes, Michael won the competition, acclaimed "The Next" by audience vote.
He was subsequently signed to Warner/Chappell as a writer, then to Warner Bros. Records. Award-winning producer Scott Hendricks (Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, and Hank Williams Jr., among others) jumped on board to produce Michael's debut album for Warner Bros. Records, which is due out in Spring, 2014.
Michael has shared the stage with Alabama, Rodney Atkins, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Alan Jackson, Jake Owen, and Randy Travis. He has sold out the House of Blues in Orlando, FL six times to date. Michael is making his mark on the country music scene as he continues to tour nationwide, developing his ever-growing fan base.
As Michael embarks on his future in the music industry, he says, "I can't wait to get out and do what my family instilled in me to do--share the passion and love for country music that I grew up with."

The San Francisco 49ers didn't waste any time making a good impression against the San Diego Chargers in the last preseason game of the 2013 season. The final score was 41 – 6. The offense looked pretty good on the first drive. The defense was even more impressive. They were some players that made a big time push for roster spots.
Quinton Patton continued to show that he was a diamond in the rough for the 49ers. He had a very nice catch and run for a 43 yard touchdown. Patton was able to make the catch in the middle of the field but was able to change direction so suddenly that the defender on the play almost fell over. He then accelerated down the side line as he outran all of the secondary.
Cam Johnson was the real story tonight. He had two sacks and was in the Chargers' backfield for most of the night. Johnson constantly had pressure on the quarterback. His biggest play was on punt team when he blocked the punt and recovered it for a touchdown. The 49ers will surely have a lot to think about when they consider what outside linebackers they will keep. Look for Cam Johnson to make the roster and actually have an impact. His pass rushing skills are simply too good to risk clearing waivers.
Colin Kaepernick had a solid first series. He ended up going 3/4 for 64 yards and one touchdown, thanks to Patton. His other completions were to Vernon Davis and Marlon Moore, both for first downs.
B.J. Daniels looked very good tonight as well. He continued to show that he has command of the offense and knows exactly where he wants to go with the ball. Daniels actually looked a lot like Russell Wilson because of how well he was able to avoid getting sacked. He also showed how much of a weapon that he can be in the open field when he pulled the ball down and broke off two consecutive big runs. The second run was for 36 yards.
Daniels had two touchdowns on the night. His first one was a throw to Lavelle Hawkins across the middle. Hawkins bobbled the ball but caught it on his second attempt. Once he caught it, he was able to withstand a big hit from Jahleel Addae. After taking the big hit, he was able to reset his feet and outrun everyone for a 45 yard touchdown.
The second touchdown by Daniels was one of beauty. He set his feet after his drop and launched a perfect drop shot to Chuck Jacobs for a 14 yard touchdown. Jacobs did a great job of adjusting to the ball and making the catch. This play was very similar to the one that the duo scored on last week against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Lavelle Hawkins had the exciting touchdown catch and refused to celebrate afterwards despite being urged to do so by Quinton Patton.
Corey Lemonier's rocket like first step was on display again as he had a sack and numerous quarterback pressures. His jump on the ball when he made his first sack was so quick that Dan Fouts, the announcer thought that he was offsides. One of Cam Johnson's sacks came because Lemonier got to the quarterback very quickly and forced him to step up in the pocket and right into Johnson's arms for the sack.
Jonathan Baldwin had two catches but also had a drop. It looked like he was a bit too deep in his route when he ran a curl in which the ball was thrown to a different spot but still hit his hands.
Chad Hall got some snaps on defense in the fourth quarter as a cornerback covering the slot.
Quinton Patton started the game returning kickoffs and averaged 17 yards on two returns. He field the ball seven yards deep in the end zone on his first return and eight yards deep on his second.
Michael Wilhoite continued his strong play in the presesaon as he had an interception on a play in which Cam Johnson got to the quarterback and made him throw the ball a bit earlier than he wanted to.
Andy Lee unveiled the knuckle punt that he has talked about in the past. The returner did catch the ball but it was a fair catch.
Phil Dawson missed a 52 yard field goal. The kick was wide right. It looked like he didn't get the proper follow through which may have caused him to push the ball to the right.
Unfortunately, this game was the last for a lot of players. The rosters will have to be cut down again soon. There will be some guys getting released that can play some good football. This team is very deep and won't be able to keep some pretty good players. Jim Harbaugh, Trent Baalke and company will have the daunting task of forming the 53 man roster while trying not to make a decision that could come back and haunt them.

The Daily Rich List: 20 richest politicians
Who are the holders of money and power in 2013? In our guide to the wealthiest people in Britain, we reveal the richest MPs, peers and not-so-humble public servants. By Philip Beresford, compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List
Click on the "Daily Rich List" tab above to see our interactive guide
1. Lord Ashcroft
£1,200 million
Business services
Although controversy dogged his political career, Ashcroft has continued to make money. From buying and turning round a struggling cleaning company in the 1970s he has gone from strength to financial strength. He made £500 million from the sale of the ADT cleaning and security business, hundreds of millions more from the sale of British Car Auctions and a US janitorial business, then doubled his money after investing about £45 million in the Priory clinics in 2007. Ashcroft, the son of a wounded D-Day veteran, had a boyhood fascination for military history, which has resulted in him owning the world's largest collection of Victoria Crosses,…


text: I had my A3 quattro AMD Chipped a while back, very pleased with the result. Since having the car in for a variable service(Audi garage), plugs, filters, brake fluid change, MOT etc, the car feels sluggish when reaching the end of the rev range whereas before it would power all the way. Is it possible that they have reset the ECU when resetting the service alarm, is there a 'default' type reset ? It's still quick just not to the extent of before. Any suggestions appreciated, i'll be giving AMD a call later to see what they think. Cheers Lee

Jeannette to field 7th- and 8th-grade football team
The Jeannette School Board took action last month to initiate a program that could have a long-awaited positive effect on the football program at Jeannette High School.
Jeannette will launch a seventh- and eighth-grade football program beginning this school year to serve as a feeder system for the high school.
TJ Detruf — a former Jayhawk player and an assistant at Jeannette for the past nine seasons — will be the team's head coach and plans to implement Jeannette football from day one.
"Our players are going to enjoy playing and they are going to learn what it takes and what it means to be a Jayhawk," said Detruf. "They will benefit because not only will they be ready to play in our system as freshmen and sophomores, but they will understand what it takes academically as well."
Jeannette, like many other WPIAL schools, has seen shrinking numbers of players in the varsity football program.
Jeannette athletic director Matt Lebe sees the junior high program as a good opportunity for Jeannette to have those who participate in football ready to play once they arrive at the high school.
"The program is a good opportunity to help the varsity program by having a feeder program," said Lebe. "We have a terrific coach at the high school in Roy Hall and now (a person he mentored) will be bringing the same philosophies and will have kids ready to play when they get to the varsity program."
Hall echoed many of Lebe's sentiments regarding the importance of the success of the junior high program and knows how important it was that Jeannette hired Detruf to head the program.
"He is a Jayhawk, he played here, has coached here, he lives in Jeannette and knows first-hand how to run our offense and defense," said Hall. "It means more when you have people you know and trust, and now TJ will have a chance to run the show down there."
The program faces some challenges in spreading the word to potential players and generating interest among incoming seventh- and eighth-graders, but Lebe and Detruf have a plan and are working on getting the news out.
"We are sending a letter to all incoming seventh- and eighth-graders informing them of the program," said Lebe. "I know that TJ has been visiting some local ballparks and has been spreading the word."
Detruf and Lebe will be available next week on July 9, at 6 p.m. at McKee Stadium to answer questions from interested players and parents, or from interested members of the community.

The loans were taken out to fund its $740 million takeover bid for Austereo in 2011, which gave the company a metropolitan FM network, including stations 2dayFM in Sydney and Triple M.
The debt facility is due for refinancing in March 2015, but it is understood the company will begin discussions with its lenders in coming weeks.
Its major lenders are
Southern Cross's regional television network broadcasts mostly Ten programs, although it carries a Seven West Media affiliate in Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
The company signed a three-year regional affiliate deal with Ten in July.
"As the first port of call we will be having discussions with our existing lenders," chief financial officer Steve Kelly told The Australian Financial Review.
"There is no pressure on us to do it at this stage but we would like to start discussions sooner rather than later."
The company has previously said it would look to re-finance its loan book by June 2014.
It is understood that Southern Cross would consider negotiating with international investment banks about its debt.
"There are people who currently aren't involved in our financing that may be interested in working with us," Mr Kelly said. "But I can't pass too much comment on the appetite at the moment."
Southern Cross is one of the more highly geared Australian media companies. Net debt to earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortisation was 2.7 times in June, but Mr Kelly said in August it would fall to "2.5 times or lower".
It is understood that Ten and Southern Cross have been in discussions in recent weeks about a possible sales force alliance, a move that could reduce the combined sales force by 20 per cent.
The Financial Review reported that Ten had been in talks with Foxtel-owned MCN about a potential joint venture as another sales-force restructuring option for the metropolitan broadcaster.
If Ten and MCN, which sells advertising slots on behalf of pay TV-giant Foxtel, secured a deal, it would radically reshape the television ad market.

. Louwlardus Bowhunting Safaris is considered by many to be Southern Africas Tiny Ten specialist. Most hunters start with bigger animals first and once the species list is reduced they start hunting these pygmy antelope. Only then, do they discover what a challenging hunting experience the Tiny Ten provide. Hunting the Tiny Ten has taken us to different habitats all over Southern Africa. I started hunting them myself, to ensure that I find the best areas and outfitters, as well as the right equipment and best times to achieve top quality results. Tiny Ten hunting is a challenge but can also be a lot of fun!

James Bond star Daniel Craig today promised women fans that he would be stripping off in the new Bond movie as details about the
new film were revealed for the first time.
Craig, who will again star as the superspy for a third time, said it was all part of "the gig" when asked if he would be taking his shirt off in the 23rd Bond movie.
The new James Bond film will be "Bond with a capital B", according to Craig.
10 things you need to know about new Bond movie Skyfall
Skyfall: New James Bond actress Berenice Marlohe strips off but wears red wig in her sexiest scene ever - pictures
Veteran actor Albert Finney joins Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem in the cast for the film, which is called Skyfall.
They will join regulars including Dame Judi Dench, who plays spy boss M, in the film directed by Sam Mendes.
Producer Michael G Wilson said the title - officially confirmed today at a press conference - was "the worst-kept secret in London".
Mendes, who admitted he had been a fan of the films since childhood, said the film would be shot in locations including London, Turkey and Scotland.
Craig, who has already starred in two films as the suave secret agent, said he would like to play 007 for "a few more years".
He said: "Being lucky enough to get the chance to do a third one, it is my intention to make the best Bond movie we possibly could - and Bond with a capital B - and I'm just incredibly proud to be part of this group of people."
The Bond girls are played by Naomie Harris, who plays an agent called Eve, and French actress Berenice Marlohe who said her character would be "glamorous" and "enigmatic".
Harris revealed she has been in training for the role, saying: "I've been doing yoga three times a week to get into shape and stunt-driving and firing machine guns, which I've discovered I've got a real taste for."
Producer Barbara Broccoli said they had been "considering various people" to perform the film's theme music but had not made any decision.
Finney has already been a villainous star of rival Bourne film franchise, but movie bosses would not go into detail about his or Fiennes's roles in the new Bond film.
The announcement of the new film comes 50 years to the day after Sean Connery was announced in the press as the man to play the superspy in Dr No.
Ajay Chowdhury, from the James Bond International Fan Club, said the new film looked set to "be an intriguing new entry in the Rolls-Royce of movie franchises".
He said: "Daniel Craig's third time as 007 has been awaited with bated breath by Bond fans around the world who have been made to wait extra long for this film as the world recession delayed the MGM green light for some time.
"Mendes is a left-field directing choice, but with the acting talent involved and the precedent set by the previous two films, Skyfall promises a Bond film where the sky may not be the limit."
The film is set to be released in the UK next October.
Craig's casting as Bond helped to reinvigorate the film franchise, leading to the highest 007 box office takings of £367 million for his debut in Casino Royale in 2006.
Quantum Of Solace, the most recent film in the series released in 2008, generated £353 million.
Mendes, who won an Oscar for American Beauty, said the film would have "a lot of action".
He said the presence of Craig in the starring role was one of the reasons he got involved and said the actor's performance as Bond had "opened up all sorts of wonderful possibilities for the character".
A cryptic Mendes also said rising star Ben Whishaw would appear in "a part I can't tell you about in scenes I can tell you nothing about".
He also revealed that a large section of the movie would be shot in Whitehall in central London as well as Shanghai in China.
Former Bond actor Sir Roger Moore gave the film his seal of approval.
Speaking before the press conference, he said: "I thought that Casino Royale was marvellous. I think Daniel Craig is a superb actor and obviously he's done two, they've been successful otherwise he wouldn't be doing a third."

A toxicology lab in Oregon uncovered a high-end salon treatment labeled "Brazilian Blowout" that contains 10 percent formaldehyde, raising serious safety questions about extremely high levels of the potent carcinogen. The solution is used in dozens of salons nationwide that advertise the popular hair-straightening treatment.
The Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology at Oregon Health & Science University found that the product appears to come from a North Hollywood company called Brazilian Blowout. However, the company owner denies that the product came from his firm.
More answers may be forthcoming, though, as California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health conducts a complaint investigation at the North Hollywood facility where Brazilian Blowout makes its solution, a spokeswoman said.
Monte Devin Semler, Brazilian Blowout company president, said he's cooperated fully with OSHA by providing a sample of the product and expects no formaldehyde to be present.
"We pay a premium to be sure that the product is in fact formaldehyde-free," Semler said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "I am unable to control every bottle that comes out of eBay or out of the back of someone's car."
So what did the folks in Oregon find, exactly? Here's what I learned:
DeDe Montgomery, an industrial hygienist with the toxicology center (who is, in the interest of full disclosure, related to California Watch's Michael Montgomery), said a concerned stylist sent her lab a bottle of the salon treatment, saying it made her eyes water and caused irritation. The lab sent the bottle labeled "Brazilian Blowout" to Oregon OSHA for testing.
The test showed that the formula contained nearly 5 percent formaldehyde, a chemical that is regulated in doses far, far, far smaller.
Montgomery was aware of the controversy, documented in beauty blogs, about early reports of formaldehyde in the Brazilian Blowout product. So when she sought out another stylist who could help her test a more recently-shipped bottle that was labeled "formaldehyde free."
That bottle, she said, had been opened when she received it. It came with a packing invoice that had no address but the phone number to Semler's firm. It tested at 10 percent formaldehyde, exceeding acceptable levels by orders of magnitude.
Formaldehyde is strongly believed to cause cancer and also causes irritation to the eyes and nose. It can also trigger asthma attacks and cause rashes to people who are sensitive to it.
Montgomery said her lab reported the issue to Oregon OSHA and the California Department of Public Health.
California OSHA spokeswoman Krisann Chasarik said the investigation was based on a complaint and will determine whether any health or safety violations occurred at the site where workers bottle the Brazilian Blowout solution.
The California Department of Public Health operates a Safe Cosmetics program that was put in place by a 2005 law. The law requires that cosmetic and beauty product makers report the presence of certain chemicals, including formaldehyde, that are present above certain levels.
Department spokesman Ralph Montano said the Safe Cosmetics program staff did not get any information from Brazilian Blowout about the product before or since a reporting deadline passed. He said a program staff member called the company to remind them of the requirement.
It remains to be seen, though, whether the Brazilian Blowout company has anything to report or whether a counterfeit product is setting off alarms. Chasarik said her agency's investigation should be complete within a month; I'll be sure to report the results.
This blog was updated to reflect that Montgomery sought the second bottle of formula for testing.

Fishing and boating
Throwing in a fishing line is a favourite pastime of many Kakadu locals. There are plenty of places to fish in Kakadu, primarily from boats on our rivers and billabongs. A number of companies offer fishing tours in the park, ranging from a few hours to multi-day experiences.
Most popular fishing areas are flooded during the monsoon season - check our advice below on when to see each walk. Some seasons are wetter than others, so the exact opening dates will change from year to year.
If you're bringing your own boat, it needs to be sturdy and have a motor (no canoes or inflatables). Because of the croc risk, it's not safe to sleep in your boat overnight, camp near the water's edge or wade in to fish. If you have any trouble with crocodiles, let our local rangers know.
ALWAYS REMEMBER - Saltwater crocodiles can attack people in boats - the smaller the boat the greater the risk.
Check out our fishing, boating and croc safety rules to keep you and the park healthy.
The key changes include new possession and vessel limits, and temporary reef fish protection areas.
Make sure you Know Your Limits:
Download a Possession Limit Flyer
Download Handy Reference Booklet for NT fishing regulations
Pick up a measuring sticker, poster, booklet and flyer at tackle stores and retailers near popular fishing destinations
New signs will be erected at Northern Territory boat ramps over the 2015 dry season and Fisheries has advertised the changes in print, radio and online across the Top End.
East Alligator River
The East Alligator River in Kakadu's north is a popular place to fish, particularly for barramundi. Launch your boat from the boat ramps either side of Cahill's Crossing. The upstream section of the river is accessible all year round. Keep a lookout for submerged stumps, sandbars and the ever-present crocs. The downstream section makes good barra fishing in the run-off season (February to April), when all the little creeks coming off the floodplain are dumping baitfish into the river. If you have the time and the right gear, you can venture downstream to the mouth of the East Alligator River. At 70-80 km, it's a long trip. You'll need the right safety equipment for open waters and boat that's big enough to handle the coastal conditions - plus a fuel tank big enough to get you back again!
See it: All year round
South Alligator River
This is a popular river for fishing tour operators. It makes good barra fishing in the run-off season (February to April), or take the long trip to the river mouth if you've got the right safety gear and a big enough boat. Watch for the mudbanks that stick out into the river - you don't want to get stranded at low tide.
See it: February to November
Two Mile Hole
This small, tree-lined billabong is good for trolling and casting for barramundi and saratoga. There's a shady camp area nearby. Two Mile Hole is about 12 km from the Arnhem Highway by dirt road. There are two creek crossings on the way - one dries out as the dry season progresses, but the other holds water all year round.
See it: April to November
Four Mile Hole
A large open billabong further along from Two Mile Hole. Because of the croc risk, you can't camp within 50 m of the water's edge - lots of people choose to camp well back, under the shade of the trees. This area opens later than Two Mile, depending on the water levels after the tropical summer floods. Good for trolling and casting for barramundi and saratoga. It's about 46 km from the Arnhem Highway by dirt road.
See it: May to October/November
West Alligator Head
A remote coastal fishing spot, about 80 km by dirt road from the Arnhem Highway. You can fishing off the rocks or off the beach for barramundi and salmon. There's a bush boat ramp off Pocock's Beach for those keen on reef fishing - try for golden snapper, black jewfish and other pelagic species. There are camping areas with basic facilities (bush toilets and a cold shower).
See it: June to October
Red Lily Billabong
This pretty billabong is on the south side of the Arnhem Highway, about 34 km down a dirt road. Good for trolling and casting for barramundi and saratoga. You'll see plenty of birdlife, amidst the red lilies that grow along the water's edge. There's a large open area for camping, or you can pitch a tent further back under the trees.
See it: June to November
Bucket Billabong
Further down the road from Red Lily, this small billabong is pretty with shady camp areas. Good for barramundi and saratoga. You'll need to pass one creek crossing early in the year, but it dries out as the dry season progresses. You can reach it from either the Arnhem Highway (50 km on a dirt road) or from the Old Darwin Road.
See it: June to November
Alligator Billabong
This fishing spot is around 65 km off the Arnhem Highway, beyond Red Lily and Bucket billabongs. It is also accessible from the Old Darwin Road. There are two billabong areas which are split by a creek crossing early in the year. Both the north and south areas have boat launching and camping areas. The south is fairly open without much shade, while the north has some trees near the boat ramp.
See it: July to November
South Alligator River
You can access the South Alligator River via the Yellow Water boat ramp. Like much of this area, it's good fishing for barramundi and saratoga. Keep an eye on the crocs though - they get up to 5 m long nearby.
See it: July to November
Home Billabong
This pretty billabong is behind Cooinda, good for barramundi and saratoga. There's a dirt boat ramp which can be accessed most of the year. In the tropical summer (November to March), a channel provides access to Yellow Water and the South Alligator River. It's a beautiful spot, with overhanging paperbarks and water so clear that you can see the fish beneath you. To stop the spread of salvinia, rangers have closed the route from Home Billabong to Mardugal Billabong.
See it: All year round
Mardugal Billabong
This large, deep billabong is lined with paperbark trees - a nice spot to drift around and take time out. Fishing is good for barramundi and saratoga. There's a concrete boat ramp and campgrounds nearby. The top campground is open all year round, but the lower campground gets flooded in the tropical summer (November to March).
See it: All year round
Jim Jim Billabong
A nice fishing spot with a good chance of catching a barra. Turn off the Kakadu Highway onto the Jim Jim Billabong Road. There's about 3 km of dirt road on the way there (4WD recommended). The boat ramp is at the campground.
See it: April/May to November
Sandy Billabong
A pretty paperbark-lined billabong with sandy beaches. Good fishing for barramundi, tarpon and saratoga. There are several spots to fish from the shore, but keep a careful watch for crocodiles and don't wade into the water. The boat ramp is very steep and best suited for smaller boats. There is a campsite with a drop toilet. This spot is about 12 km from Muirella Park on a dirt road - you will need a 4WD.
See it: June/July to December
Muirella Park
A beautiful billabong with a good boat ramp. You reach it via a bitumen road. It can be a tougher spot to catch fish than some of the other billabongs. There is no safe fishing from the shore so you will need a boat. There is a campsite nearby with showers and toilets.
See it: May to December
Where is fishing is allowed?
There are many great fishing spots in Kakadu. However, for environmental and cultural reasons, fishing and boating are prohibited in certain areas.
Fishing is allowed in most waterways west of the Kakadu Highway, however the West Alligator River is closed to fishing and boating so that Kakadu can maintain an entire river system free from fishing impacts. The waterways east of the Kakadu Highway are closed to fishing and boating to protect headwater fish populations, however fishing is permitted on Djarradjin Billabong (on the Nourlangie Creek system) and Jim Jim Billabong (on the Jim Jim Creek system). For more detail about where fishing and boating are permitted, please see the maps provided in the Fishing and Boating Park Note.
Fish possession limits
Kakadu National Park has the same possession limits as in the Northern Territory's Mary and Daly River Fish Management Zones. A general possession limit of 15 fish applies to each person. Included within this limit, you may only have a maximum number of the following species:
- three Barramundi (55 cm minimum overall length, maximum size limit 90 cm, vessel limit of 1 fish over 90 cm)
- two black jewfish (At risk species, vessel limit applies)
- three golden snapper (At risk species, vessel limit applies)
- three threadfin salmon (Maximum size limit 90 cm (fork length) and vessel limit of 1 fish over 90 cm (fork length))
- three mangrove jack (35 cm minimum length. At risk species and vessel limit applies)
- three sharks (Any combination to a limit of 3. Sawfish, northern river and speartooth sharks are protected and must not be taken)
You must not be in possession of protected species which include:
- all species of cod or groper longer than 1.2 m
- sawfish, northern river and speartooth sharks
- mud crabs
To ensure fish species can be identified, the following rules apply:
- The entire skin must be left on fillets and trunks of all fish
- Fillets from species with a personal possession limit must be stored in separate packaging to all other fish
- Frozen fillets from different species must be kept in separate packaging
- Two fillets together are deemed to comprise 1 fish
- A piece of fish, other than a fillet, is to be counted as 1 fish, unless you can prove that 2 or more pieces of fish were obtained from the one fish
Vessel limits apply to "at risk" species:
- Vessels with 4 or less people on board, each person can take their personal possession limit
- Vessels with 5 to 7 people on board can take a maximum of 4 times the personal possession limit of designated "at risk" species. The balance of the GPL can be made up of other fish
- Vessels with 8 or more people on board can take a maximum of 8 times the personal possession limit of designated "at risk" species. The balance of the GPL can be made up of other fish
For full details of NT possession limits for all other species that don't appear in this list, please see: www.nt.gov.au/d/Fisheries
Other rules
You may not use or possess nets, firearms, spears, traps or any device designed for taking an animal or fish other than:
- Rods or handlines with a single hook or lure attached
- Landing nets are permitted only for landing fish. They may not be used for any other purposes
- A live animal (including fish) cannot be used as bait
- Dead bait fish may be used only if caught within Kakadu
- The use of processed bait is restricted to coastal areas of the park, except the West Alligator River where all fishing is prohibited
- Do not leave a fishing line unattended
- Do not tether fish
- Do not clean fish within 50 metres of a water body unless using a designated fish cleaning facility
- Do not clean fish on the water if within one kilometre of land
- Crabs must not be taken
- Nets, traps and pots used for recreational fishing outside the park may be transported into or through the park only along the Oenpelli Road, Arnhem Highway and Kakadu Highway. These items must be securely stowed at all times and not used
Boating on Kakadu's waterways can be dangerous due to strong currents, sand bars, submerged logs and crocodiles. For this reason use of non-motorised vessels (canoes) is prohibited.
Please let someone know where you are going and what time you expect to be back. In tidal areas always carry life jackets, water, oars, flares, torch, tool kit, extra fuel and a satellite phone. Refer to the Northern Territory Marine Act signs for more detailed safety information.
- Make sure you comply with NT Marine Safety legislation and have enough safety equipment for every person on board - life jackets, drinking water, oars, flares, torches, tool kit, extra fuel and a satellite phone.
- Ensure your boat and motor are in sound working order and drain plugs are tightly inserted
- Check the tides. For Cahill's Crossing add five and a half hours to Darwin tide times. For the South Alligator River bridge, add four hours on to Darwin tide times.
- Check the weather. Where possible seek local knowledge. If in doubt, don't go out.
- Boating is prohibited in certain areas - check at the Bowali Visitor Centre for details.
- Concrete boat ramps are located at the South Alligator River near the Arnhem Highway, the East Alligator River, Yellow Water, Mardugal and Jim Jim Billabong. Unsealed boat ramps are located at Waldak Irrmbal and Muirella Park.
Always remember, crocodiles occur near boat ramps.
- For your safety, be alert for crocodiles at all times.
- Keep away from the water's edge and do not enter the water.
- Take extreme care when launching and retrieving boats.
- Do not reach into the water to bring up a fish; use a landing net.
- Do not clean fish or bleed fish in or near the water's edge, as this may attract crocodiles.
- Remove all fish and food waste, which attract crocodiles.
Areas where motorised boats for recreational use are allowed:
- South Alligator River and associated billabongs, including Red Lily, Alligator and Leichhardt Billabongs on the South Alligator River;
- Ngurrungurrudjba (Yellow Water);
- Four Mile Hole;
- Two Mile Hole;
- the East Alligator River (except near the egret rookery near the mouth of the East Alligator River);
- Jim Jim, Mardugal and Home Billabongs on the Jim Jim Creek system;
- Djarradjin and Sandy Billabongs on the Nourlangie Creek system;

See also the notes above on where you are permitted to fish within the park. If you have any doubts about where you can use your boat for fishing or other recreational activities, contact the Bowali Visitor Centre, telephone (08) 8938 1120.
Beware of salvinia
Salvinia is a free-floating aquatic fern native to South America. It was originally imported as an aquarium plant. It reproduces very rapidly by growing from small fragments. The areas between Yellow Water north to the South Alligator River, and the Magela Creek from Mudginberri to Nankeen Billabongs have been closed to boating as a quarantine measure. If boating near Salvinia please help stop this weed from choking Kakadu's wetland areas. Check your boat, trailer and car and remove any salvinia before moving on.
Stay croc safe
- Keep away from the water's edge and do not enter the water
- Take extreme care when launching and retrieving boats
- Do not reach into the water to bring up or resuscitate a fish; use a landing net
- Be particularly careful if fishing at night
- Do not clean fish or bleed fish in or near the water's edge, as this may attract crocodiles. It is an offence to clean fish within 50 metres of a water body. Please use the fish cleaning bays where provided
- Remove all fish and food waste, which attract crocodiles
Please tell us if a crocodile has gotten too close to your boat or acted in an aggressive way - call our rangers on 08 8938 1120 as soon as possible.
Be crocwise - see the NT parks and wildlife video
If you see signs of people doing the wrong thing, please let us know. This could include commercial fishing vessels within the park, floating dead fish, gill net markers, floats or nets. Thanks for keeping an eye out - you can report anything suspicious to our rangers on (08) 8938 1120.

"Body of Lies" plays like director Ridley Scott went and saw an odd double feature consisting of Charles Ferguson's excellent documentary "No End in Sight" and "The Bourne Conspiracy." Then he decided the one movie should be more like the other, and vice versa.
"No End In Sight" is a documentary about Iraq composed of interviews with street-level intelligence workers complaining about how they were ignored by higher ups, who undermined just about everything they tried to do and thereby ruined any and all chance America had of getting out of Iraq quickly and efficiently. And "Bourne" was about a guy who could singlehandedly win a war against the world, if only his conscience would leave him alone.
Leonardo DiCaprio is the Bourne, except now his name is Roger.He chases terrorists primarily in Jordan, though don't doubt that he's got three passports and six alibis.He builds relationships with the locals, primarily chief of Jordanian intelligence Hani, and executes ops from the ground level. He is constantly on the phone with Russell Crowe, who gained thirty pounds to play DiCaprio's Wolfowitz. Crowe thinks he can save civilization while taking his children to preschool. He doesn't need to listen to the locals, because he has the "global perspective."Crowe consistently undermines DiCaprio's ops, gets his men killed and him captured, and walks away with a smile and a swagger. (Given his track record, a treachery case against him might have some real traction.)
"Body of Lies" is, really, a story about two failed operations. (The biggest problem with the film is DiCaprio's continued naivete and protestations; you'd think a guy this smart would learn what to expect from his idiot boss, and adjust.Most of the rest of us have.) The film splits time almost exactly between the two failed ops, but the second is much more interesting.It involves setting up an innocent Jordanian architect to look like a terrorist, and then waiting for the real terrorists to give him a congratulatory call. That sounds like a great setup to me; I wish Scott had taken the time to develop the character of the architect, his relationship with DiCaprio, and the trigger pull. But the time is already spent, and some scenes feel rushed through, one wonders if others were just skipped. Maybe someday there will be a Director's Cut.The movie resolves with a clever twist that reinforces the overall point, but shows that Scott, ultimately, is more interested in making his political point than in making a great movie.
(Sidenote: But is it a political point, really?It's likely to be called by some "Anti-American."But "Body of Lies" shows us one patriotic American who is very good at this job – fighting terrorists – and another patriotic American who isn't very good being his boss. I believe one of the great tragedies of our day is that it has become inherently, heatedly "political" to ever point out that someone in government has done a less than stellar job. For the record, I, not Ridley Scott, made the comparison of Crowe to Wolfowitz-– if you think it's wrong, fine.I think you can disagree with me and still enjoy the movie.)
So "Body of Lies" is not great.It's still pretty good.Ridley Scott may be a little heavy-handed with his politics, but he still knows how to tell a story on a screen. It is taut, crisply edited, and consistently engaging. It's been hard for anybody to get Americans interested in movies about the Middle East, and in the last year or two I've seen a lot of above-average films (Stop-Loss, Rendition, In the Valley of Elah) mostly ignored by moviegoers. Scott takes a much more bankable route; "Body of Lies" functions perfectly well as a spy thriller, and fans of spy thrillers will not be disappointed with it.It's not Scott's best work – it's about on par with last year's "American Gangster" and certainly inferior to "Black Hawk Down," "Blade Runner," and "Alien,"but perhaps it's as good a movie as he dared to make, given the subject matter.
- To fans of spy thrillers, Bourne movies, Bond movies, etc.
- To anyone who's seen "No End in Sight."
Not Recommended
- If you're sick of movies with a "political" message.
- If nobody's going to get you to watch a movie about the war on Terrorism/War in Iraq, no matter how good or entertaining it might be.

The surprise discovery of a meth lab at a Kippa-Ring home on Friday last week has seen various drug charges laid against three men.
The lab, discovered during routine traffic inquiry, was set up in the living room of an address at McCosker Street and was obvious to the attending officers, a police spokesman said.
It will see a 28-year-old Kippa-Ring man as well as two Redcliffe men, aged 32 and 35, appear in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on February 4.
"They're usually pretty self evident," the spokesman said. "With gas bottles and chemicals about the place, [drug labs] generally stand out like a sore thumb.
"Sometimes there are gas cookers where they're boiling things, and there's usually a chemical smell."
It will be alleged that the laboratory had been used in the production of methamphetamines.
The men have been charged with one count each of produce dangerous drugs, possess dangerous drugs, possess anything for use in commission of crime, possess prohibited combination of items, unlawful possession of stolen property, fail to take reasonable care and precautions in respect of syringe and needles, possess utensils and four counts of possess relevant substance or thing.
A quantity of drugs was also allegedly located at the property.

text: October 17, 2011 Press ReleaseBurson-Marsteller Launches Caring Consumer Specialty Group Evidence-Based Approach to Engaging Socially Minded Consumers New York, NY, October 17, 2011 – Burson-Marsteller, a leading global public relations and communications firm, announced today the launch of its Caring Consumer specialty group, a sub-practice of Consumer and Brand Marketing. The sub-practice, comprised of experts in Consumer and Brand Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Reputation, builds emotional connections between organizations and consumers who care. The Caring Consumer is designed to help companies translate their good deeds at the corporate level – from philanthropy to sustainability, ethics to community service – in relevant ways to consumers who show their appreciation by supporting "caring companies" over their competitors. "Consumers are looking for a relationship that goes beyond the transaction of products and services. They have higher expectations of what brands should deliver to them and to their communities," said Carline Jorgensen, Managing Director, Burson-Marsteller, Consumer and Brand Marketing. "We help companies and non-profits further distinguish themselves and provide unique value to engage consumers who put their money where their hearts are." At the heart of the new Caring Consumer offering is The Consumer Care Package, a diagnostic tool and methodology that evaluates an organization's current socially conscious activities, audits the competitive landscape, captures its aspirations, and defines a unique value proposition that resonates with its target audiences to create a stronger connection with its brand. Caring Consumer takes an evidence-based approach by using research to develop more informed programs, as well as illustrate return on investment of cause-based communications campaigns. For example, a recent online survey conducted by Penn Schoen Berland, in partnership with Burson-Marsteller, Landor and Forbes, measured perceptions of 100 consumer facing top brands. The survey of 2,500 U.S. adults revealed that consumers are more likely to purchase products and services from companies who do the following: Understand and address their customers' unique needs Care about the issues that matter to their customers Are honest and trustworthy Positively impact the everyday lives of their customers "Companies and organizations eager to connect with social- and civic-minded consumers must appeal to the specific needs and expectations of their target audiences, such as Caring Moms, Caring Boomers, Caring Teens and other discrete groups if they want to create impactful programming and earn the loyalty of caring consumers," according to Jorgensen. About Burson-Marsteller Burson-Marsteller, established in 1953, is a leading global public relations and communications firm. It provides clients with strategic thinking and program execution across a full range of public relations, public affairs, reputation and crisis management, advertising and web-related strategies. The firm's seamless worldwide network consists of 68 offices and 81 affiliate offices, together operating in 109 countries across six continents. Burson-Marsteller is a part of Young & Rubicam Group, a subsidiary of WPP (NASDAQ: WPPGY), the world's leading communications services network.
