I'm always on the lookout for products that are not only better for our environment, but also better for my family. Slowly but surely I have been replacing not-so-nice products with ones that are made with more natural ingredients. It's been a long process and we're not 100% free and clear of toxic products (mostly household cleaners) but one day I hope to be.
I'm crazy about bath & body and beauty products. I always jump at the opportunity to try out something new. Many times products that I receive to review end up being favorites of mine and I purchase them again and again.
I recently received a couple of products from a company called Everyone, or EO for short.
EO is a new brand that offers natural, organic and healthy personal care products for everyone, including animals. They have products available for hair, face, body and hands.
Every EO product is made with gentle, natural, fragrant ingredients and essential oils that are pure and 100% organic. In addition every EO product is cruelty, paraben, polysorbate, disodium EDTA, gluten, and sodium laureth/lauryl sulfate free, in addition to non-GMO Verified. Founded in 1995, EO is the original and ultimate essential oil based personal care brand.
Everyone sent me a couple of products to review. They were actually geared more towards my husband (and teenage son) since I would consider these more "manly" products. EO offers products for everyone (women and children too!).
I received free to review the following products;
Everyone Soap for Men is a 3 in 1 cleanser: shampoo, shower and shave perfect for an invigorating clean from head to toe in 2 manly scents: Cedar & Citrus + Cucumber & Lemon.
Everyone Lotion for Men is a 3 in 1 lotion for hands, face and body an ultra moisturizer for every man in the house, same 2 scents as the soap: Cedar & Citrus & Cucumber & Lemon.
I was very impressed by the massive size of both pump bottles. There is plenty of product there to last my husband and son for at the very least a month (or more!). My husband and son have both been using it as shampoo and body wash and I've used it a few times to shave my legs and we still have a ton of it left.
We have the Cedar & Citrus scented soap. My husband and son seem to like the scent. I think it's a bit weird. I reminds me of bug spray. But if they like it that is all that matters to me. Maybe the Cucumber & Lemon scent is more "lady friendly". Ha Ha.
I haven't tried this as a body wash yet, and I don't think I'll use it as a shampoo, but for shaving it works great. I just pump some into my hands, rub my hands together a few times then apply to my legs. It doesn't foam up or later too much but it does coat your leg enough to shave with no problem I use it to shave my legs several times (in the summer I tend to shave daily or at least every other day) and so far I've had no issues with is. I think it works great and it rinses off with no problem.
I like that it's a shampoo, body wash and shaving cream (?) all in one. It saves space in the shower because I don't have shampoo bottles, body wash and shaving cream all over the place. Instead I have just one bottle.
The bottle is HUGE and sells for only $9.99. When I think about how much I pay for body wash, shampoo and stuff to save with the Everyone Soap for Men (or women) is a budget friendly option.
We have the Everyone Lotion for Men too in the same scent. It's not as strong as the Everyone Soap for Men. It's a light weight lotion, perfect for the body. I'm not sure about the face. Both my husband and son tend to breakout (especially my son). We might have to play around with it for a bit and see if it effects their pores.
My husband uses it on his hands too. He likes that it's not "girly smelling" like my other hand lotions are.
I've used it on my legs after shaving. It does a good job leaving my skin soft and moisturized.
My son has not used it yet (I don't think teenage boys think about using lotion on their bodies.).
Now that I know about Everyone Products (EO Products) I'm going to check them out some more. I see a few products on their site that I'd like to check out like their French Lavender Body Oil and Essential Oils. I love essential oils. I use them when I clean and for adding fragrance to my bath & body products.
For more information, please go to www.EOPoproducts.com. You can also find the brand on Facebook and Twitter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/6/2014 (1136 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Randy Turner's insightful article on the tragic death of Douglas Sanderson and Judge Schille's recommendation for expanding services at the Main Street Project only addresses the tip of the iceberg (Shelter needs more paramedics, space: inquest, June 9).
I have spent the last 10 years working with homeless individuals on Main Street, a block away from the Martha Street Main Street Project. I can firmly attest that much more needs to be done on this front.
Steps have been taken by private-sector initiatives such as the Red Road Lodge, which provides safe, dry housing and public-sector initiatives like the Bell Hotel that is more focused on a harm-reduction model. While both models offer benefits and move in the right direction, there is a huge gap between safe housing and emergency shelters.
Expanding the Main Street Project is only a band-aid solution if it is not done with a master plan to address the larger picture of homelessness and substance abuse. I don't subscribe to the NIMBY principle, but given the ongoing efforts of myself and the business community, CentreVenture as well as the aboriginal and Métis communities, one must ask: is the Martha Street location doing more harm than good to our urban-renewal efforts?
If the location is acceptable, should the Main Street Project not be expanded and funded to provide more beds with a higher level of care, complemented by a well-designed exterior green space with public washrooms and seating, similar to that which is often available at other health-care facilities?
For far too long the city and province have turned their eyes away from this public embarrassment. Is Winnipeg bold enough to do the right thing?

Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud-storage services around and a lot of people who own an account take advantage of the relatively new cloud technology in order to backup, sync or share their files easily among devices or with other users.
Everyone knows that Dropbox currently offers a free option, which initially comes with 2GB of storage space that can grow up to 8GB if you refer your friends. What makes the Dropbox service even more popular is the fact that it's currently available across multiple platforms, including Windows Phone 7, Blackberry, Android, iOS and Symbian, thus leaving a whole slew of possibilities for sharing and backing-up files in the Cloud.
Dropbox does very well across most platforms and you also get the option of using the online interface to upload or sync your files, making it very easy for new users to work around and adapt to the new technology.
Dropbox is a great resource that you can use for free, but there are also a few other cloud services you can try out, or use simultaneously with your Dropbox account in order to get even more space for your personal files.
Check out the five of the best alternative cloud-storage services you can start using today.
Dmailer Backup
If you're looking for a free backup service other than Dropbox, you could end up landing on the Dmailer Backup website.
The service is one of the best alternatives to host and share your personal files among devices. Just like the famous Dropbox, the Dmailer cloud storage service offers 2GB of space for your files and is compatible with both Macs and Windows computers.
Dmailer Backup currently offers two options you can use to back-up your files – an Automatic mode and a Custom mode. The first one automatically backs-up personal files, such as documents, photos or videos while the second one provides a more customized solution for users.
LiveDrive is yet another alternative to DropBox and the service provides a truly great online storage solution. There are four options for you to choose from including Briefcase, Backup, Pro Suite and Business.
Using the LiveDrive Backup option you will be able to make a backup of all your files and documents in order to access them wherever you are. LiveDrive offers compatibility with multiple platforms and you will be able to access your important files from Android smartphones, iDevices, tablets or PCs.
The LiveDrive Briefcase is another option you can use to share, sync and manage your files easily. You get up to 2TB of storage space where you can host your files while the automated sync option will make a copy of your files in the cloud, so you'll never lose anything again.
LiveDrive's ProSuite is the most complete option for file storage, back-up and synchronizing your files across multiple platforms. There are 5TB of storage space and you could very well use this option if you want to easily share files with your employees at the office, for example.
It is mostly a business-oriented package and probably the most complete option for a cloud storage package.
LiveMesh comes with a counter-offer that might seem appealing to many users, offering 5GB of cloud storage space. Microsoft has decided to offer this alternative to DropBox so you could easily share and sync your files on your Windows PC.
LiveMesh is a solid alternative to DropBox and is considered one of the best File Syncing apps on the market at this time. It doesn't only provide syncing across multiple computers but also remote desktop access through the Internet using Internet Explorer.
If you are a Windows Live user and enjoy Microsoft products every day, you should go ahead and give this one a try. Features include PC to PC Synchronization, Remote Desktop Access and 5GB of storage space you can start using right now for free.
SugarSync brings yet another alternative offer to the table by bringing forward a few great features and 5GB of storage space you can start using for free.
You'll once again be able to Store, Sync, Backup and Access your files anywhere you are, across multiple platforms, all of these in a free yet reliable cloud based solution.
SugarSync offers 5GB of cloud storage space absolutely free and you once again have the option of extending your storage space when you refer your friends. The application is compatible with most platforms, including Windows and Mac computers, Android smartphones and tablets, as well as Symbian OS and Windows Phone 7.
SugarSync is a reliable cloud storage service that could be considered a great alternative to Dropbox.
Tonido offers a complete alternative to sync, backup and share your files across multiple platforms easily. The Tonido app can be mounted as a standalone local drive on your PC or laptop, where you can copy and share your files and backup directly to the cloud.
Tonido offers the possibility of syncing and sharing files securely and as a novelty, your device will be allotted a web address which you can use to access your home PC wherever you are.
Tonido offers compatibility across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac and Linux or you could opt to share your files securely through a web browser when you are surfing on a device you don't own.
There are also apps you can install on your iDevice, Android smartphone or tablet, Blackberry and Windows Live 7.
Tonido is probably one of the best alternatives to Dropbox you can find right now and offers all the fantastic features the cloud technology brings to the table.
These are just five alternatives to Dropbox and you can start using these right now if you require more cloud storage space or looking for a professional solution to share your files.

I had that Northern Monk's Neapolitan Ice Cream Pale Ale the other day. Bought a can from my local bottle shop, wondering what it would taste like. I didn't enjoy it. I drained the can, but I didn't like the sweetness and the creaminess going up against the crystalline edge of tropical fruitiness; it felt unintegrated, as if someone had dropped some hop oil into an ice cream. It wasn't a bad beer, but it was a beer that I asked myself (as I did when drinking Beavertown's Tropigamma on the train over to Lille back in November) why? Once again, ungenerously perhaps, I thought about the infantilisation of beer flavours, which had occurred to me several years ago when Logan Plant told me that Lemon Phantom Sour was based on 'that great hangover cure Lemon Fanta'. Just a thought, has anyone done a beer based on Lucozade?

Breaking hearts
It's playing in the background, 'never gonna break my heart again', what Coward called the romance of cheap music, and I ponder on the beer in front of me, Zundert Trappist, and I wonder if a beer can break your heart, or for that matter can a brewery break your heart, or is the hurt that some of us feel when a beer or a brewery vanishes similar to the two minute emotions of a song — transitory and enduring only as long as the song echoes in our thoughts?
And as I drink I think back to the morning as my coach pulled into Victoria at 6am and I saw a guy walking up the road, in full early 60s rockabilly (or was it greaser?) regalia — peaked hat, leather jacket with badges and slogans written on it, including one for the Pirates (Johnny Kidd and the Pirates I think), old school bike boots with white socks rolled up at top, jeans tucked in, denim new and durable, an outfit that was popular when the Beatles drank Mackeson, London Pride had an ad campaign based on an LP and Albert Seaton swigged his body weight in beer on a Saturday night and fell down the stairs in his local pub…
And the point is that this man was both celebrating and mourning a past he would never know, but things have moved on and those who want to drink the beers they drank in the past will find that they too have moved on, meanwhile the Trappist beer is ok, sugary and blanket-like in its smoothness, but I feel like I'm back in that coach watching the rockabilly guy, reliving a beer that never knew its past but is content to stride along the pavement, unafraid of what contemporary time thinks, undaunted in the pomp and passion of asking the past if it can answer the phone or come to the door or unfurl its flag and never break your heart again.

What have Brewdog ever stood for
I saw some tweet, from a friend, which said 'what did Brewdog ever stand for', in light of some legal stuff (which you can read elsewhere), and I thought of the piece I included in a book that Roger Protz and I wrote for CAMRA in 2015, and which we both suggested/demanded should include BrewDog. I wrote it and Roger was happy with it and in light of all the stuff about punks not being punks (I was a punk and dropped it like a hot coal when everyone and their mother became one — it was not about mohicans but more about an attitude, I learnt more about situationism and structuralism through punk than anything else and never passed into the fancy dress stage, which owed more to 19th century dandyism than anything else), here it is before it was edited. Despite the dreadful Raspberry Smoothie IPA and knocking over the furniture in the PR showroom of self-righteousness I still think they do a good job (as do Adnams, Fullers, Hook Norton, Camden etc etc etc).
BrewDog's brewery is a cavernous, cathedral-like brewing hall with its steel ribs reaching out and holding up the sky; it's a lively animated space on brewing day as rock music plays and brewers mull about, clambering up steel ladders to check brewing vessels and ducking beneath metal pipes through which beer flows. Outside sit the fermenting vessels, silvery, towering cylinders that receive more hops as the beer sleeps, through something called a hop cannon. This feels like a brewery committed to the future.
However, there's one thing missing. BrewDog don't make cask beer, they stopped making it in 2011. They did make some very good cask beers such as 5AM Saint, Paradox and, yes, even Punk IPA, but that was then this is now. Their beers are either in bottle or what is called, for want of a better word, craft keg. Go to any of the brewery's bars in Bristol, Sheffield and across London and you won't find a hand pull (but you will find friendly bar staff who are exceptionally knowledgeable about beer, but it won't be cask). The brewery has also a fractious relationship with CAMRA, to say the least.
Yet, BrewDog cannot be ignored. Their craft keg might not be cask but it's neither the tinny-tasting, strained keg of the past, which had as much a relationship with flavour as processed cheese has with the Slow Food movement. BrewDog is also seen by many drinkers as one of the most significant and — yes — exciting developments in the world of beer for many years, and that would probably include a fair amount of CAMRA members.
Important? For a start, without them we probably wouldn't have had the likes of Magic Rock (whose High Wire could be seen as a tribute to Punk IPA), The Kernel and Wild Beer. For better or worse they have been an inspiration. BrewDog has brought many young men and women to beer and, in a similar way the Sex Pistols broke out of the punk ghetto, they have also transcended the beer bubble. They have been heard of by people who rarely drink beer, a recognition factor many breweries would love. Your mum has probably heard of them.
Even though it's not cask, BrewDog brew some good beers. A bottle of Punk IPA has a pungent and arousing nose of ripe peach and apricot skin; lychee, papaya and mango trips off the tongue, while there's a gentle touch on the elbow of white pepper in the dry and grainy finish. Meanwhile Jack Hammer is a big beast of a strong IPA with its bitter finish clanging away like an alarm bell and the even stronger (9.2%) Hardcore IPA has an intense swagger of grapefruit, blue cheese and pine cones on the nose while in the mouth it is fulsome with a concentration of sweet grapefruit alongside a resiny hoppiness — this is a beer able to hold its head high against anything the likes of Stone can produce.
Yes they can be wearisome. There have been the controversies: by and by the world of beer is a relatively cordial one but some of BrewDog's comments on the nature of British brewing not only upturned the apple cart but starting throwing the fruit about. This is something that James Watt acknowledged when I met him up the north of Scotland, where the brewery have their home, early on in 2014: 'there are things we wouldn't do now.'
That was then, this is now and who knows, there might be things they will do in the future: such as brewing cask, because if you cast your mind back several years they brewed some excellent cask beer.

What colour do you think that this beer is, I ask a friend and fellow judge at the Dutch Beer Challenge (to give it some context we are are at Brouwerij Noordt in Rotterdam and drinking its Bok). I suggest the colour is mahogany brown, but he says it reminds him of the teak coloured deck of a sailing ship, which is perhaps an apt description, as the river that has made Rotterdam is only a street or so away. And then I think of the connection with the open sea — the beer is cold, 5˚C perhaps, a watch bundled up and shivering on the deck in the Atlantic, and then I think of the great steel ships abed in the harbour, the ships I'd seen earlier in the day, standing at anchor, their hulls a story of the travels that had taken them about the world. Then I smell the beer, the chocolate and coffee on the nose of the Bok, which suggests to me the emotional cargoes of Europe brought to the port, a history of several centuries brought together in a glass. Then there is the alcohol, 7%, alcohol that combustible constant of civilisation. The beer is also crisp and cold — a night spent on deck, keeping watch, crossing the Atlantic, and then there is more coffee and chocolate, followed by a brisk carbonation and finally a quick finish, as if this beer suddenly decided it wanted the BlueRiband. The tales that beers do tell.

Are sours the new alco-pops
A train of thought is waiting at the station and if you don't mind it's waiting for a new passenger: ah here they are, a little late but on they go. Are sours the new alco-pops, asks the passenger to no one in particular. One person looks up and asks in what way are sours the new alco-pops and the answer is shot straight back, down a well-rifled barrel: when they were first introduced alco-pops were seen by some as easy going drinks that those hitting 18 went straight to, an easy avoidance of trying to work out trying to get one's tongue around the contusions and customs of bitterness? And did those who walked the green hills of ancient pub land have to work so hard and heft their shoulders to the wheel before they left the sweet seductions of their childhood behind (though lager/bitter top and diesel are remainders of this memory of times gone by), while those who enter this magical world through the portal of sours not have to do much at all (hence the comparison with alco-pops).
And so why does this passenger think that way? The other night they drank a can of Chorlton's Amarillo Sour, followed by Cloudwater's Vic's Secret Tart IPA, both beers going down as easily as a soft drink, despite their relative alcoholic strengths of 5.5% and 7.3%. They were, I was told by this passenger, juicy and restrained in their sweetness, while the tartness was unbridled in its friendliness and sense of wonder, like the face of a child, eyes closed, slyly smiling, as it lifts its face to a warm sun. They were both beautiful beers, of which the passenger said 'I could drink deeply'. They were also both what are generally called sours,
Similar thoughts had whisked over me with the soft petulance of a feather duster a couple of weeks ago whilst giving a talk at a beer conference in Cusco, Peru, on the state of sour beer in the UK — within the audience of brewers, both newly pro and stay-at-homers, there was a real interest in sour beers, with several putting their hands up when I asked who was making a sour. A few days before I'd also filed a piece on sours for Imbibe magazine, making the point that sours had the ability to appeal to those who had always said that they didn't like beer, ie wine drinkers who like their acidity, of which there is plenty within a sour beer.
Sours (or wild beers or acidic beers, or whatever you want to call them), when they work are exemplary in the way they both tease and trounce the palate with their visions of a beer beyond what we know as beer. They have the ability to shush the palate and to rush their way along the gustatory highway to deliver refreshment and also compress sensations of acidity, juiciness, sprightliness, dryness, saltiness, tartness and a piquant bitterness all in one. And because they have the ability to introduce those who say they dislike beer they are the new alco-pops, but on the other hand I hardly think Amarillo Sour is the new WKD. But you never know.

Peruvian Gold
|Yes, that's one of them craft jam jars
Here is an IPA, an India Pale Ale. Hazy, orange-yellow in colour, flurries of tropical fruit (ripe fruits sitting in a bowl in a sunny kitchen, on a pine table) emerging from the glass like the furies of Greek myths, benevolent though, beneficial even, bending one's thoughts towards taking a sip or maybe a complete submergence in the beer. Petrol, as in Riesling, tropical fruit, that ripeness again, that sun-stroked ripeness, and then a dry rasping finish that lingers like the memory of a long lost love affair. That savoury allium note of a West Coast IPA (the Pacific rather than the Cornish Riviera), the tropical fruit sweetness and pungency and sensuality, the dry graininess of a malt backbone, the charkas of grain, and that dry finish all combine, a combination once forbidden and now bidden to all, and create an assertive and expressive IPA, the dominion of lupulin. And outside in the sun, the foothills of the Andes rise, steep and sudden. This is IPA country but it also the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and I have been drinking Inti Punku IPA from Cervecería del ValleSagrado and immersing myself in it with the rhapsodic and revelatory nature of a traveller who's found themselves in a new land and discovered a small slice of home.

Time, Hope And Memory - Poem by Thomas Hood
I heard a gentle maiden, in the spring,
Set her sweet sighs to music, and thus sing:
'Fly through the world, and I will follow thee,
Only for looks that may turn back on me;
'Only for roses that your chance may throw—
Though withered—Twill wear them on my brow,
To be a thoughtful fragrance to my brain,—
Warm'd with such love, that they will bloom again.'
'Thy love before thee, I must tread behind,
Kissing thy foot-prints, though to me unkind;
But trust not all her fondness, though it seem,
Lest thy true love should rest on a false dream.'
'Her face is smiling, and her voice is sweet;
But smiles betray, and music sings deceit;
And words speak false;—yet, if they welcome prove,
I'll be their echo, and repeat their love.'
'Only if waken'd to sad truth, at last,
The bitterness to come, and sweetness past;
When thou art vext, then turn again, and see
Thou hast loved Hope, but Memory loved thee.'

I had Attorney Robert Peragine represent me when I was in an auto accident and needed much guidance to reach a fair settlement. He is an outstanding lawyer. He knows the laws and presents himself in a kind, and compassionate way which is very important to a client who is going through the process for the first time. He has it all. What you need for your protection, for your settlement, and your future. He gets to the bottom of all aspects of a case. If you want the best and expect nothing less than hire Attorney Peragine. If you end up in Court, he will make you proud.
Posted by James
This Attorney went above and beyond. He is very good and knowledgeble. He was my attorney for a motorcycle accident. He kept me infomed and up to date on everything. He got the result that I was looking for.

Hi, I am currently studying my foundation degree (messed up my A-levels) in Motorsport Engineering at the University of Bath. I have applied to change, and start from the second year of Mechanical Engineering, and I have received feasible offers from Portsmouth and Brighton. I am keen on both universities, and was wondering if anyone with first-hand experience could give me some advice (even if it is biased)? I know it's my choice, and a lot is down to personal preference, but any help in deciding would be fantastic!

Sakura Sensations
Cherry Blossom Magic In Japan
de Michelle Herring
Acerca del libro
Explore the pages of this pictorial essay to experience the rich symbolism, cultural significance and ethereal beauty of the Japanese cherry blossom. The ornamental cherry trees, known as Sakura in Japan, not only announce the closing days of winter and the arrival of spring, but are also revered as an omen of good fortune in a society deeply rooted in tradition. For thousands of years to celebrate the arrival of the Sakura, the Japanese people have organized "hanami parties" gathering under the flowering trees to honor their beauty and ponder the transient nature of life. The cherry blossoms bloom in extreme beauty followed by a quick death due to their abbreviated blooming season, thought to be much like the samurai warriors who were considered to have relatively short life spans.

U.S.G.S. Astrogeology Team
Speculations about life on Mars have always caused great interest and controversy. Recently, several Internet articles have been posted describing the discovery of Martian Surface Organisms in the south polar region of Mars.
As a research scientist working on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) Team, I have spent the last four years analyzing data from this Martian region. The data reveal a region active with interesting and intriguing physical phenomena, but does not suggest the existence of life.
Hungarian scientists have reported evidence of life in the Martian southern polar region. They claim that the dark spots observed during the southern spring are living organisms, similar to those found at the south pole of Earth.
This comparison of the Martian southern polar cap to the Earth's Antarctica is highly inaccurate and misleading since the two regions have little in common.
Antarctica has an abundant supply of water ice at a mean winter surface temperature of between -40�F (-40�C) and -94�F (-70�C).
The Martian seasonal cap is almost entirely dry ice at a surface temperature of -195�F (-126�C). The near absence of water, even in the form of ice, and the frigid surface temperatures make the current existence of life unlikely.
Early in the MGS Mission, we discovered a region of Mars seasonal south polar cap that remains dark in the spring, while the rest of the polar cap is bright. [ Titus et al., 1998, Kieffer et al., 1999, Kieffer et al.,2000] This dark region remains cold enough for dry ice to continue to exist.
Dramatic changes of appearance of many ices can result from minor or no change in the basic material, similar to the disparity between the appearance of snow and "black ice" on Earth. Studies of thermal spectra from this Martian region suggest that the dark dry ice is either a clear transparent slab or dirty and coarse grained. The formation of these Martian dark ice regions is an annual event, occurring each Martian southern spring.
The dark spots at issue, occurring on crater floors inside the cryptic region, have been under study by several scientists at NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Malin Space Science Systems. All of our studies suggest these dark spots are formed from the natural defrosting process of the seasonal cap. The dark spots are either exposed soil or dark dry ice [e.g. Edgett et al., 2000, Bridges et al. 2001].
The Hungarian report is riddled with glaring scientific errors. The report claims according to the Hungarian researchers that during harsh Martian winters, when temperatures plummet to minus 200 degrees Celsius (minus 328 Fahrenheit), these so-called Mars Surface Organisms are protected by a thick blanket of ice which then melts as the planet's early summer temperatures climb to just above zero.
Firstly, the polar cap surface temperatures, even in the dead of winter, do not drop below -195�F (-126�C), which is the temperature at which dry ice and gaseous CO2 can co-exist under Martian pressures.
Secondly, the Martian southern polar cap consists of dry ice (solid CO2), not water ice. In the spring time, the dry ice does not melt, but sublimates, transitioning directly to gas. The temperature at which this occurs is -195�F (-126�C), not zero degrees, as suggested by the Hungarian article.
And thirdly, water ice does exist on Mars, but sublimates around -100�F (-73�C), due to the low atmospheric pressure of 6.1 mbars. Earth has a surface pressure of 1000 mbars.

Why Microbes Matter
Houston - Sept. 4, 2001
One of the most frequent questions that I have encountered when talking with people about astrobiology is, "If there are microorganisms on Mars, so what? Why should I be interested in the Martian equivalent of bacteria?" Here is my answer:

Helsinki (AFP) Aug 24, 2010
US computer chip giant Intel and Finland's Nokia, the world's leading mobile phone maker, said Tuesday they had opened a joint research laboratory on Finland's northwestern coast.
Intel, whose processors power nearly 80 percent of computers worldwide, said in a statement the centre would "employ about two dozen research and development professionals."
The centre is hosted at the University of Oulu, which said the lab's research activities had "started gradually in August."
Intel said the lab would work on developing "interfaces that are more similar to interactions in the real world," with the aim of making the use of a mobile phone "more natural and intuitive, in the same way that modern games and movies are more immersive through the use of realistic 3-D graphics."
The company added another potential area of research "could look into technologies that allow displaying a 3-D hologram of the person you are talking to on the phone, a capability only found in science fiction movies today."
Nokia has been struggling in the smartphone segment, loosing market share to Apple's iPhone, and posting a quarterly net profit down 40 percent in July. It is set to launch its already delayed Symbian 3 platform by the end of the year.

HP announced on Monday a 1.6 billion dollar offer to purchase 3PAR stocks for 24 dollars per share in cash, representing a 33.3 percent premium above Dell's offer last week for 1.15 billion dollars.
In a statement to the Securities and Exchanges Commission on Tuesday, 3PAR said Dell had 72 hours to revise its offer before it would take HP's "superior proposal."
"3PAR has given Dell three business days to negotiate an amendment to its merger agreement with 3PAR," it said.
The acquisition bid highlights the computer manufacturers' effort to target advanced and more complex computer systems as the personal desktop and laptop market near their peak, analysts said.
HP said the acquisition would accelerate its so called "converged infrastructure strategy, which provides customers with an unmatched portfolio of intellectual property across storage, server and networking solutions."

By Maureen Milford, USA TODAY
WILMINGTON, Del. At 4-foot-11, Stephanie Kwolek is hardly an imposing figure.
As the 83-year-old maneuvered her walker around an Acme supermarket recently, she seemed like just another senior shopper in her conservative skirt and blouse. What she lacks in physical stature is more than offset by the contribution she has made.
Kwolek is the scientist behind the discovery of the strong, lightweight fiber known as Kevlar. More than 3,000 law enforcement officers have survived potentially fatal or disabling injuries because of the golden-colored fiber that is spun into sheets used in bulletproof vests, helmets and shields, said Stephanie Jacobson, spokeswoman for DuPont Co. in Wilmington.
In the mid-1960s, Kwolek was a researcher at DuPont, where her work led her to a discovery that became the foundation for Kevlar.
"She's physically a small woman, which is kind of funny considering the impact she's had," said Ed Rodley, exhibit developer of the Museum of Science, Boston, which is mounting a fall exhibit on innovative people in engineering, which will include Kwolek.
Pound for pound, Kevlar fiber is five times stronger than steel, Jacobson said. In addition to law enforcement officers, Kwolek's work has spared the lives of countless soldiers, too. Nearly every U.S. combat servicemember has worn a helmet made with Kevlar since the 1991 Gulf War, Jacobson said.
One of those whose life Kwolek helped save in Delaware is David Spicer, now a Dover police detective. Spicer was shot four times as a police officer on March 24, 2001. While working the Safe Streets Program, he was shot as he attempted to arrest a suspect in a drug transaction. One shot, he said, made a 10-inch cut in the right side of his vest.
"I would have been dead, without a doubt," Spicer said.
"She's one of my heroes," added Ron McBrideof Richmond, Va., and a consultant to the Kevlar Survivors' Club a non-profit partnership between DuPont and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "I was a police officer for 35 years, and there are people walking around because of her."
Kwolek was a 42-year-old scientist in search of a super-strong fiber to reinforce radial tires at the company's Experimental Station when she invented a thin, milky solution of rigid-chain polymers that flowed like water from her lab spatula.
"It wasn't exactly a 'eureka moment,' " she said, but she sensed she might be onto something. Most polymers have the viscosity of molasses. The physical test results were off the charts in terms of strength and stiffness, she recalled. Initially, Kwolek said, she was afraid to "tell management." She tested and retested to make sure no mistakes had been made.
"I didn't want to be embarrassed. When I did tell management, they didn't fool around. They immediately assigned a whole group to work on different aspects," she said.
Kwolek had little formal education by comparison with most of the scientists DuPont hires today. With a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Pittsburgh's Carnegie Institute of Technology — now known as Carnegie Mellon University — she went to work for DuPont as a chemist in 1946.
There were few female scientists at DuPont when Kwolek joined the company.
"I was determined," she said.
Kwolek is scrupulous about taking credit only for the initial discovery of the technology used in the development of Kevlar. She credits the team of scientists who worked on its development, particularly DuPont scientist Herbert Blades, who still lives in Hockessin, Del.
She has received numerous honors, including being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio.
The Hall of Fame includes such names in American scientific history as Thomas Edison and the Wright brothers. The exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science will showcase seven engineering leaders through videotaped interviews, historical footage and displays of related artifacts.
Kwolek's advice for young women interested in a science career is that they get a doctorate and have at least two majors — for example, chemistry and math. If she had it to do all over again, Kwolek said, she would get into biochemistry.
"There's some pretty horrible diseases that we need more advances" in treating, she said.
In a drawer in her living room in her suburban ranch house, Kwolek still has spools of Kevlar, she said. She also has lengths of golden material made with Kevlar.
"I never in a thousand years expected that little liquid crystal to develop into what it did," Kwolek said.
Besides body armor, the fiber is used in a variety of other things, including oven mitts, tires, airplane parts and mattresses.
Milford reports for The News Journal in Wilmington, Del.

London: Cricket players could soon be appearing in Test matches in coloured clothing.
According to The Telegraph, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is pushing ahead with plans to allow players to wear non-white ''pyjama'' kits in the inaugural floodlit Test against Bangladesh at Lord's next year.
The move has infuriated traditionalists, but has come about because traditional red balls cannot be seen against a night sky, while trials with other coloured balls such as pink or orange have proved unsuccessful. If a white ball is to be used, the cricketers'' clothing must be some other colour.
Critics of the plan point out that the test will take place at Lord''s, the home of cricket, where "whites" for Test matches are seen as sacrosanct.
Dickie Bird, the retired umpire, said last night: "I am one of the old school and I am all for the game being played in white. It is best to play at Test match in white and during the day."
Peter Baxter, the ex-producer of Test Match Special, warned that many of the game''s most passionate supporters would be upset.
Baxter, who produced Test Match Special for 34 years added: "I think floodlit cricket will only ever be partly successful in this country because we simply do not have enough suitable evenings."
Sir Michael Parkinson, the broadcaster, who once had trials for Yorkshire, said: "I think the England cricket team have more to worry about than coloured clothing."
The Sunday Telegraph understands that there have already been in-depth discussions on the subject at two recent ECB committee meetings.
John Stephenson, the head of cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), has been asked to move the initiative forward.
The floodlit match, the first of two Tests against Bangladesh, will be played in late May next year.
Play is likely to start at 2.30pm and finish at 9.30pm, which would allow spectators to attend after work.
Organisers hope the day-night matches will go some way to boost attendances, which they expect will be hit by the economic downturn and by the lowly status of Bangladesh in world cricket.

I'm not sure what my socket buffers are. The box is in a plain vanilla
m0n0 pc config. Whatever configuration the default cdrom image comes as
is what it's configured as.
For the record, I'm not using jumbo frames (most of our network here is
jumbo fragmenting in nature), and I'm not sure whether the RFC1323 is on
by default or not. I assume it is on by default, since this flag is what
keeps some m0n0 users from going to www.netbsd.org due to a many year
old bug in the netbsd tcp layer.
So... without a real console, or much experience with BSD I'm not sure
where to look first or what to do to change the tcp buffers. If someone
wouldn't mind walking me through it, I'd glady take a look and tweak
some more and provide more benchmark numbers.
I assume that possibly linux has larger tcp buffers by default at least
in Fedora Core 2, partially accounting for the 55-60 MByte/s as apposed
to the m0n0 routed 40 MByte/s? Do remember that all 4 talking gigE
adapters are identical broadcom chips on a 64-bit PCI-X bus at 100 mghtz
(bandwidth is not an issue).
Anyone care to enlighten the BSD NewB here? (I.E.ME).

Everyone agrees: Mitt Romney is not like his father.
The late Michigan governor and 1968 presidential candidate George Romney is remembered as a principled man of spontaneity and candor. His example is regularly invoked by both admirers of his son's disciplined campaign style and critics of Mitt's back-and-forth pandering. George, it is said, told the truth about the Vietnam War before it was popular to do so, with an unfortunately worded comment about "brainwashing" by U.S. government officials that cost him the 1968 Republican presidential nomination. "Mitt learned at an impressionable age that in politics, authenticity kills," historian Rick Perlstein wrote in Rolling Stone earlier this year. "Heeding the lesson of his father's fall, he became a virtual parody of an inauthentic politician."
This rejection of his father's example, the thinking goes, is what has made Mitt a more successful presidential candidate — self-controlled but hard to pin down, flipping from moderate to conservative to moderate once again. It is observed that Mitt would never draw a line in the sand like his father did in 1964, when George dramatically "charged out of the 1964 Republican National Convention over the party's foot-dragging on civil rights," as the Boston Globe's authoritative biography, "The Real Romney," put it earlier this year.

You can see that it would make a lot of sense for Owen to have named a son Henry
after his brother if there was one. It is not likely that Lewis Thomas only had
two children.
Following are a lot of notes on Owen and Lewis Thomas. Good luck, and be sure
to let me know if they connect to my Thomas line. I have also one more book I
am going to look in, for Amelia County, that I will let you know if it has

This was the last record on Owen Thomas in Frederick Co. Believed to have
migrated from Frederick to Fayette Co. Pennsylvania in 1771.
From Jane McCann Walsh: Why Fayett County?
It seems that some of the earliest settlers came here because they had been with
Geo. Washington in 1754 the expedition through here when they created and
surrendered at Fort Necessity or with Braddock in his campaign through here.
Also, those troops widen and extended the "road" they traveled. Others would
have been encouraged by their colony (Virginia) to settle lands here as part of
Virginia's claim to this area. Later with land grants stemming from military
service there was a push westward to find unclaimed land.
Another stimulant was Washington's continued interest in this area and his
ownership of many acres here.
Fayette had coal, iron, limestone and clay that was ideal for pottery making.
I've also heard that it had saltpeter which was essential for making ammunition
in the Rev. War. Iron was being manufactured here in the late 1700's. Coke
from its vast resources of coal was used in the manufacture of iron here as
early as 1817 by Isaac Meason in 1817 at Plumsock (Upper Middletown). The coal
and coke business flourished from about 1870 to about 1950.
Other specialized industries flourished here due to the natural resources,
especially the water power of its many mountain fed streams. One of the more
interesting was glass making in New Geneva from the late 1700's through 1850 and
also long rifle making.
Was Owen a General in Revolutionary War?

Thomas Family
Sources: Rice, Otis K. The Allegheny Frontier; West Virginia Beginnings,
Hard hit was the Cacapon River area, where 23 persons were captured or killed
June 1764. Among
the prisoners was the wife of Owen THOMAS, who had been killed the previous
summer. However,
while crossing the South Branch, Mrs. THOMAS eluded her captors by jumping into
the stream &
floating with the current until she reached Williams' Fort, 2 miles below the
Hanging Rock. Her
daughter saved herself by running 9 miles to Stephen's Fort on Cedar Creek.
Unusually, if this is Owen's uncle, he is also married to a Mary, as the full
version of the story indicates.

Letter George Washington to Mrs. Sampson Darrell, June 18, 1786

The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources,
1745-1799. John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor.--vol. 28

June 18, 1786.

Madam: A tract of land which I bought of Captn. Johnston (your deceas'd husband)
lying on Bullskin in Frederick (now Berkeley) county, is, as well as a great
many others, comprehended in the judgment lately obtained in the General Court
in favor of the Hires; but may, it is said, be relieved from the consequences if
it shall appear that this land was originally purchased from Hite. That the fact
is so there can be no doubt, but the difficulty lies in proving it. It would
seem by some papers in my hands that Captn. Johnston bought this land, wch. he
sold me from one Lewis Thomas; and that Lewis Thomas bought it of old Jost Hite,
father of the present complainants, who passed his Bond for the conveyance;
which bond it further appears was assigned to Captn. Johnston. Now, if this bond
is to be found among the papers of Captn. Johnston, for I have it not, it will
render null and void the claim of the Hites; unless it may be for the original
purchase money (which was very trifling), if it cannot be proven that it has
been paid.

But if this bond is not in being, it is highly probable the Land will be
The person to whom I sold this land is now calling upon me, this will oblige me
in turn to resort to the representatives of Capt. Johnston of whom I purchased,
and whose Deeds to me warrant it against the claim of every person whatsoever.
But all these difficulties (except as to the original sum, which was to have
been paid by Lewis Thomas to Hite) may be avoided if you fortunately should find
among Captain Johnston's papers, the original bond from Hite to Thomas for
conveyance of the land. It is for this reason I give you the trouble of the
present application.

I am informed that commissioners are to meet some day this month, to receive
such evidence as can be offered in favor of the present possessors of the land,
without which the judgment will be final, I therefore pray that diligent search
may be made for Hites Bond, which may prevent a heavy loss, as the land, with
the improvements thereon, is now become very valuable. I am, etc.90

The George Washington Papers at the Library of Congress

Letter George Washington to Thornton Washington, June 22, 1786

The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources,
1745-1799. John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor.--vol. 28

Mount Vernon, June 22, 1786.

Dr. Thornton: Jnn. Throckmorton delivered me your letter of the 6th. inst: I am
under no apprehension that the title to the land on which you live can be
affected by the decision lately had in favor of Messrs. Hite and others. Such
papers as I can readily find respecting this tract, I send you. The patent from
the proprietors office, granted to Captn. George Johnston of whom I bought the
land particularly recites that it was granted by Jost Hire to Lewis Thomas, the
deposition of John Smith taken, and admitted in the former trial, and I suppose
is of record, with the copy of Lewis Thomas's bond passed for the payment
thereof, together with the statement subscribed by Colo. Grayson, places the
whole business in my opinion in a very clear and unequivocal point of view. But
if the Commissioners (which I can scarcely conceive) should be of a different
way of thinking, I should be glad to have time to illucidate matters more
Colo. Grayson you will perceive certifies that what he has signed is a true copy
from the proceedings; in these it is expressly admitted by the complainants,
that Js. Hite did sell 425 acres; which upon a resurvey (possibly by adding a
little of the barrens) measured 552 acres. Not having the original bond from
Jost Hite to Lewis Thomas in my possession, I sent to the widow Darrell,
formerly wife of Captn. Johnston, to see if it could be found among his papers;
but she was from home and not likely, my messenger was informed, to return soon,
and very probably may be found as a deposit in the proprietors, as the Deed is
expressly founded upon it. In my judgment it is quite immaterial where it is, as
there is, besides admission of the papers, the most uncontrovertible evidence of
the sale to Thomas. By L. Thomas's bond to lost Hire, it appears that the money
was to have been paid, "at such time, that the said lost Hite, his Heirs, Exors,
Admrs or Assigns can obtain a good patent from the office."

The only point therefore which can be disputed, according to my conception of
the case, is, if the purchase money has never yet been paid, who is liable, the
possessors of the land, or the persons to whom it was sold, or their
representatives? Whether the decree of the Court goes to this point, or what
powers are vested in the Commissioners respecting it I know not, never having
seen the judgment, and having had but a very indistinct report of it.

The Ship with servants happening to be becalmed opposite to my door, I sent on
board to enquire for a Carpenter; only one stood upon the list, and he
professing not to understand much of the business, I concluded he understood
nothing of it, and therefore did not buy him for you.

My best wishes attend you and your wife. I am, etc.97

Angry Ron Paul supporters disrupt GOP convention in Tampa
Posted by satyrikon στο Αύγουστος 29, 2012
[np_storybar title=»See the video of supporters booing» link=»#1″]
TAMPA, Fla. — As Republicans tried to show a united front against President Barack Obama Tuesday at the party's national convention in Tampa, it was clear the bitter party divisions evident in the bruising presidential primary battle have not been resolved.
Supporters of libertarian congressman Ron Paul of Texas and other conservative activists briefly disrupted the opening session, booing a decision to unseat Paul delegates from Maine and institute rules changes they believe will weaken their power in the next election cycle.
The rules changes, approved by the convention on a voice vote, will bind delegates to the results of a statewide vote and reduce the role of smaller state-level conventions where Paul had success.

Opponents of the move said Romney's operatives and the party's establishment were trying to freeze them out. Some noted that during the state-by-state roll…

This month we're celebrating the arrival of sunny, carefree days (hooray) with a lineup of fun, versatile products. We took some of this month's samples for a spin right here in NYC—see them in action in our sneak peek video!.
The five featured products are just some of the many samples going out in the May 2014 Birchboxes. Learn more about them below—and if you're not yet a subscriber, there's still time to get in on the fun!
Supergoop!® SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion for Face and Body
Before you break out that bikini (or retro one-piece), make sure you stock up on this SPF. Supergoop's antioxidant-rich formula absorbs quickly and dries completely matte. It provides broad-spectrum protection and lasts for up to 80 minutes in water. Since it's free of synthetic fragrances and parabens, it's great for those with sensitive skin.
Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow
This multitasking wonder product is a primer, anti-aging serum, moisturizer, and light foundation all in one. Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow immediately hydrates skin and also calms any inflammation or redness soothing aloe and chamomile. Plus, the lightweight formula is packed with tiny, light-reflecting pigments that give skin an I-got eight-hours-of-sleep radiance.
Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm
Swap out that so-so drugstore balm for this moisturizing formula, which has healing powers thanks to shea butter and vitamin E. It feels light, so it's perfect for balmy weather, and leaves behind a lovely stain of sheer color. We're partial to the Pixi Pink and Coral Crush shades.
Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream
It's finally (finally!) shorts and skirts season. Make sure your legs are sleek and nick-free with a little help from this lush shave cream. With a base of organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil, it protects against redness and irritation. This new Grapefruit Acai "flavor" has just the right hint of fruitiness.
LAQA & Co. Lip Lube
We're already fans of LAQA & Co.'s Fat Lip Pencils so we were excited to try their Lip Lubes. Each high gloss, softly pigmented pencil gives lips a silky layer of sorbet-like color. Plus the combination of shea butter and peppermint simultaneously moisturizes and energizes your lips.

I'm a pretty big fan of Harry Potter and frankly I am regularly annoyed by the laziness of people's knowledge.
I've just come to this site and on scanning the main page I've noticed two major errors.
1. It says that the Potter's are related to the Blacks Which they may very well be somewhere down the line as they're both old pure-blood families but it is never said specifically that they are.
2. It also says that Harry Potter joined the auror department at 17 which is simply NOT TRUE!!
honestly people; can't we only talk about things that we know are true? I'm not saying that I know everything about harry potter but I at least only ever discuss what i know to be true —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 7 May 2009.

If it helps, Kinglsey Shacklebolt was appointed minister for magic after the death of Lord Voldemort.

Bieber's Breathing
What's wrong with Bieber?
Justin Bieber is really committing to his acting — so much so that it landed him in the hospital Wednesday.
According to E! Online, the 16-year-old superstar developed breathing trouble while filming scenes for his upcoming appearance on "CSI."
But never fear, Beliebers: The Best New Artist Grammy nominee is just fine. His breathing trouble was apparently caused by an allergic reaction, for which Bieber received insta-treatment at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, on Wednesday evening.
"He is fine," Bieber's rep told E! on Thursday (January 13). "He had a mild allergic reaction while they were wrapping up last night on the set of 'CSI.' His doctor met him at the hospital to make sure everything was OK. He was released within the hour after his doctor declared him fine. He is back on set working today. All is well."
