Jane Iredale Primer
This is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, sensitivity tested, clinically tested, dermatologist tested. This is a personal preference aspect, but for those who do not wish to have a fragrance, I just want you to be aware that there is a very distinct grapefruit smell.
This product is gluten free; however, it is not Vegan, as it contains royal jelly.
The Primer did exactly as promised, "to even skin tone, minimize the appearance of pores and increase luminosity." It most definitely made my pores almost invisible. The brightening is supposed to improve your skin tone with repeated use. So, while I'm not sure I've seen my skin "brightened" yet, I can write that the Primer left it smooth, and very moisturized. I would write that it was dewy, so if you have oily skin, I'm not sure that this would be an appropriate primer for you. It's winter here on the east coast, so even though I would normally always use a moisturizer, I did not need one with the Primer. It was actually too much moisture for my skin, and it looked, too "dewy."
I love the packaging! There is a seal over the opening of the Primer! I have not had a problem with squeezing just the amount of primer I want to use out of the tube. Yes, I guess the "downside" is that you're not able to see how much is left in the tube.
price: $48.00 USD

I love all cheese. Goat, cow, sheep: It all tastes delicious. But have you ever wondered what accounts for the difference in taste between the three? The key to the difference in flavor and texture comes from the fact that each animal eats in a unique way.
Contrary to popular belief, goats don't just eat anything. They seek out the highest and most tender leaves when they graze, stripping bark from trees and going after the tallest, sweetest grasses. For this reason, their milk produces cheeses with a more acidic and bright flavor as well as a characteristic "goatiness" that can be described as barn yard-like or at times quite animalistic. It also has the least amount of fat in it.

IN common with many others Bishops Hull Cricket Club, whose two senior sides play in the West Somerset Cricket League, struggled with the weather in 2012 which had a devastating effect on the season.
As many as 14 of the club's 36 league games were cancelled due to unfit pitches or waterlogged grounds.
At one point the first team were second in the Second Division, but then had five of their matches called off and resumed in eighth place.
They fought back in the games they did play and finished a creditable fifth.
There were some excellent performances for the senior side, with the captain, Matt Chanter to the fore with both bat and ball, including a fine 88 in a very tight game.
The bowling honours went to seamer Jason Hoddinott who had most wickets and an impressive best of 5-12.
The seconds bowled and fielded very well, but on damp pitches batted poorly and ended the season disappointingly at the bottom of the Third Division.
Jordan Murphy made the only half century of the season while spinner Neil Martin was the top wicket taker in the club with a best of five for 37.
However with the Seconds team containing many teenagers the future looks bright and they hope to bounce back in 2013.
Bishops Hull were however, very successful at youth level.
They fielded two sides at Under 13, with the 'A' side winning their league and the 'B' side runners up in theirs.
Two of the players have played league cricket and hopes are high that more will have the skills to follow into senior cricket.
In 2013 Bishops Hull will have an Under 15 side, two Under 13's and an Under 11, which is a reflection of their strength at this level.

(Unstable Angina; Stable Angina; Angina Pectoris; Cardiac Angina; Variant Angina)
by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
Definition TOP
Angina is pain or discomfort in the chest. It often has a squeezing or pressure-like feel. This discomfort can also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Anginal pain usually lasts for no more than 2-10 minutes.
Types of angina include:
Causes TOP
Angina is usually a sign of coronary artery disease (CAD). It occurs when the blood vessels leading to your heart are narrowed or blocked. The blockage decreases the blood and oxygen flow to your heart. When your heart is deprived of oxygen, you will feel chest pain and other symptoms.
Stable or Unstable Angina
Angina occurs when your heart's need for blood and oxygen is increased by:
Stable angina becomes unstable when symptoms:
Variant or Prinzmetal's Angina
This type of angina is usually caused by a spasm of a heart vessel. It may be a sign that you have one of the following conditions:
Risk Factors TOP
CAD is more common in older men.
Other factors that may increase your risk of CAD include:
Symptoms TOP
Symptoms may include:
The likelihood of a heart attack is increased when chest discomfort is severe, lasts more than 15 minutes, and is accompanied by other symptoms, such as:
Diagnosis TOP
Tests will be done right away to see if you are having an episode of angina or a heart attack. If you have a stable pattern of angina, other tests may be done to determine the extent of your disease. The test results will help to create a treatment plan.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of your heart. This can be done with an .
Your heart activity may be tested. This can be done with:
Treatment TOP
Treatments for angina include:
Patients with severe angina or unstable, progressing angina may benefit from:

There's one great thing about a basic denim top, you can wear it a lot of different ways. Seriously, Google "how to wear a denim shirt." You'll find tons of examples. And I hope to be able to show you a few myself. For this post, I decided on a really casual and relaxed look. One that can be dressed up a little with shoes and accessories.
I'm wearing Lands End's long sleeve denim shirt ($45). With a black camisole and black skinny jeans. Very basic. The shirt is not tapered as much as I would like it to be, but I can probably get it altered for my future outfits. I decided on this bronze tribal necklace from Forever 21 and my shoes are BCBGeneration (older). I'm already trying to think of how I'll wear this shirt next.
What's your favorite way to wear a denim shirt?

Council OKs second reading ordinance
PRINCETON — Princeton residents will now have an additional chance to review ordinances before they are adopted by the Princeton City Council.
At Monday's meeting, the Princeton City Council adopted an ordinance which would require two readings of any proposed ordinance at two separate meetings before the council could take action on the ordinance. In case of an emergency, a four-fifths vote of the council can waive the two-reading rule, allowing the council to vote on the proposed ordinance at the first reading meeting.
Commissioner Joel Quiram had originally brought up the two-reading proposal in August, saying he believed requiring two readings would make it easier for the public to learn about an ordinance and to make known any concerns or questions they might have. The two readings would also be a way to promote transparency and trust with the public, he said.
Monday's two-reading ordinance was adopted on a 4 to 1 vote with commissioner Bob Warren casting the no vote.
After Monday's meeting, Warren said he voted against the ordinance because he thinks it's unnecessary and will just bog down the work of government. Plus, he didn't think the two readings of an ordinance would do anything to promote pubic involvement and transparency.
Princeton residents can attend all council meetings and ask their questions at that time but very few people do, Warren said.
"Two readings of an ordinance is not going to do anything for transparency. All it's going to do is slow down the process," Warren said. "Government is not a spectator sport, and this does nothing to change that."
In other business at Monday's meeting, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root presented Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board certificates to Officers Kendra Bierbom and Jacob Foster for their recent completion of training courses.
Root said Bierbom recently completed a nearly 11-week training course through the Cook County Sheriff's Academy. Foster, who had already completed the 400-hour training academy, recently completed an 80-hour transition course, giving him the required 480 hours of training required to be a full-time officer in Illinois, Root said.
Also at Monday's meeting, Princeton resident Al Davidson presented the council with a "Princeton, Illinois" wooden sign which can be displayed at City Hall.
Also, Mayor Keith Cain announced Halloween trick-or-treat hours will be 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 31 for Princeton.

WWD has launched an attack on the dumbing down of fashion.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2013 (1464 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Albert Murray, the influential novelist and critic who celebrated black culture, scorned black separatism and was once praised by Duke Ellington as the "unsquarest man I know," died Sunday. He was 97.
Murray died at home in his sleep, according to Lewis Jones, a family friend and Murray's guardian.
Few authors so forcefully bridged the worlds of words and music. Like his old friend and intellectual ally Ralph Ellison, Murray believed that blues and jazz were not primitive sounds, but sophisticated art, finding kinships among Ellington and Louis Armstrong and novelists such as Thomas Mann and Ernest Hemingway.
He argued his case in a series of autobiographical novels, a nonfiction narrative (South to a Very Old Place), an acclaimed history of music (Stomping the Blues) and several books of criticism. Murray helped Wynton Marsalis stage the acclaimed Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts. Millions of television viewers came to know him as a featured commentator in Ken Burns' documentary series Jazz.
Murray was many men: friend of Ellington and artist Romare Bearden; foe of Marxists, Freudians, academics, black nationalists and white segregationists; and mentor and inspiration to Ernest J. Gaines, Stanley Crouch, James Alan McPherson and others.
In a statement issued Monday on behalf of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marsalis, who cited Stomping the Blues as a profound influence, said that "Albert's conceptions are the intellectual foundation of our institution. He spoke eloquently on the significance of American vernacular to the fine art of jazz."
Murray often wrote, and spoke, in a jazzy, mock-professorial style,. He declared that blacks should not be regarded as transplanted Africans, but quintessential Americans, practiced in the art of "I-ma-gi-na-tive ex-al-ta-tion."
Interviewed by The Associated Press in 1998, the raspy-voiced Murray defined the blues as "the extension, improvisation and ritualization of the stylization of the beliefs and the feelings and emotions of the lifestyle of a particular culture."
"People want to say the blues is an ailment," Murray said. "Any fool can tell you the blues is good-time music. It's entertainment. It ain't for no church. 'Kill the white folks,' that's not what the blues is about. You see the blues with that stuff, it means some Marxist got hold of that."
Born in 1916, Murray grew up in Magazine Point, Ala. At age 11, he learned that the couple raising him were not his parents; his mother had given him up for adoption out of shame for conceiving him out of wedlock. His real parents were educated and middle-class, his adopted ones common folk.
Murray came to see himself as the adventurer-hero of his own life, a "prince among paupers." He left his hometown to study at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where Ellison was an upperclassman. Murray graduated in 1939, served in the Air Force during the Second World War and received a master's degree from New York University after returning to the U.S.
He finally broke through in the late 1960s, at the peak of the Black Arts Movement.
Murray was married to Mozelle Menefee Murray, whom he met at Tuskegee in 1941. They had a daughter, Michele, who performed with the Alvin Ailey dance troupe. Albert Murray wrote the program notes, about which Ailey joked, "Now I understand better what I've been trying to do all these years."

"Education = Opportunity. The opportunity to work. The opportunity to escape poverty. The opportunity to live healthily. The opportunity to live confidently. The opportunity to hope. I believe you deserve an education. Whoever you are. It's your right."
By Amy Rosen
NFTE President & CEO
I feel a strong sense of optimism as I continue to participate in meetings and events, and talk with people spontaneously in and out of the Congress Centre. A growing group of business and government leaders, social entrepreneurs and journalists are coming to the conclusion that we must act NOW and together to find solutions that offer hope to the growing global army of unemployed youth. Driven by economic interests and/or moral callings, I sense that urgency is suddenly entering the discussion. Add 75 million current unemployed youth with the 200+ million that today make less than $2.00 per day and suddenly, we are facing a cold reality. 35% of young people under 27 are turning more and more towards hopelessness.
This year here at Davos, the dialogue feels real – not just filled with platitudes and self-importance. There's a strong will to act and work together to tackle this issue.
SAP, a major supporter of NFTE, hosted a breakfast this morning and their Co-CEO Bill McDermott said that it is critical that we keep trying to "spark the dream" because at the root of everything is the "strength and ingenuity of the human spirit." At a session hosted by Barclays, I was struck by Antony Jenkins' (Group Chief Executive) comments about this crisis. He described it as a structural problem in our global economy that requires a solution much greater than a piecemeal approach; everyone needs to come together – big corporations, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. The head of Alcatel-Lucent, Ben Verwaayen, Director General, expressed his frustration about the lagging actions of his peers.
George Bernard Shaw:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Just last night, I was with the CEO of Hilton Worldwide, Chris Nassetta, and he showed his commitment to this issue by pledging resources and personal time to a major initiative involving entrepreneurial and job skills. This is the beginning of a powerful movement- a top tier group of leaders eager to partner with folks like NFTE who are on the ground doing this work and searching every day for champions.

The take-away case at Tavern is stuffed with so many sweets—from cakes by the slice to sticky buns and scones (not to mention two types of chocolate chip cookies: crisp and chewy)—that I was momentarily paralysed with competing cravings. And because "everything" was not an acceptable answer to "what should I choose?", I had to rely on my instincts and go with the first item that made my sugar senses tingle: French macarons. Luckily, my instincts served me well. Tavern makes some mean macarons, and at $1.50 apiece (less than you'll pay for an hour of parking privileges at the meter), you might as well try them all.
The four flavors that were stocked during my visit were hazelnut, vanilla, pistachio, and chocolate with salted caramel. All were worthy, but I liked the vanilla and chocolate caramel the best because they had smoother fillings and a lighter texture not complicated by toasty bits of nuts, like the two other flavors.
All four of the macarons had a crisp outer shell, but underneath the shell, the cookie was more substantial than most macarons, with a chewy texture. The most ardent of macaron groupies might be better served at 'Lette Macarons, nearby in Beverly Hills, but I liked how Tavern's take on the French cookie was less precious, with a bit more staying power.

Unheralded by most experts before last season, the Swans' grit and unshakeable belief in their principles were major factors behind getting the flag back in the harbour city again.
Always keen to learn from colleagues in other sports, Furner plans to visit the Swans headquarters on January 21 to gauge some of the ingredients behind their strong on- and off-field systems.
''Culture is a massive one - they've shown that in the past and it's one they've been able to sustain and believe in,'' Furner said on Thursday. ''You can also pick up things when you go along and see how they train.
''The discussions would include travel and what they do on their long road trips - we want to make sure we're doing all the right things with recovery.
''The Swans are very similar to us in terms of we're the only rugby league team here, they're one of only two AFL teams in Sydney.
''There's always improvement [to be made] and that's what I am looking at.''
Raiders prop David Shillington said the club had made a concerted effort to fine-tune its culture and they would continue to do so before the new season.
''Obviously, the Swans have been doing it really well for a long period of time - they've got that 'blood brothers' thing going and it's very well-known they've got a great culture there,'' he said.
''It was definitely something we were trying to improve last year, to get that winning and working hard culture.
''I think we came a long way last year but we've still got a bit to go. We should keep our foot on the pedal and keep driving that.''
One of the NRL's youngest teams, the Raiders brought in respected Melbourne-based leadership coach Sam Patterson to mentor the club's second-tier leaders including Jarrod Croker, Josh McCrone and Shaun Fensom.
While there were a couple of off-field incidents, including the standing down of Josh Dugan and Blake Ferguson for one match for alcohol misdemeanours, Shillington said the club was on the right track.
''I don't think we're a misbehaving club, or a low-effort-at-training club,'' Shillington said.
''Human nature will always prevail and people will make mistakes but if we create the right culture of doing the right thing, training hard and ripping in on the playing field, the club will be better as a whole.
''It would be great to get some tips off the Swannies.''
The Raiders returned to training from their Christmas break on Thursday, where they were put through a gruelling field session under the watch of new strength and conditioning coach Nigel Ashley-Jones.
Canberra's early focus has been on aerobic fitness and ensuring they avoid the slow starts to the season, which have been hindering them.
Improving decision-making under heavy fatigue has also been a primary target, highlighted by a physically and mentally draining army ''boot camp'' last month.
''It's about being able to make decisions under fatigue, that's where we need to be,'' Furner said.
''We've talked about getting a few more kilometres in the legs and we had the camp as well, just putting the team in situations they're going to be in week in, week out … like any season, they're going to be faced with adversity at times and most certainly that's what we're looking at.''

Hall of Fame: Best Beauty Products Since 1985
When Yves Saint Laurent said, "Fashions fade; style is eternal," he might not have been talking about beachy waves, but the sentiment holds. Long, windswept strands, which gained steam in the '90s, are now ubiquitous, from the office to the runway. "Beachy hair should carry over from day to night, so it can't be such a mess that you can't wear it to a cocktail party," says hairstylist Ashley Javier. "Aim for a rougher, edgier version of Veronica Lake curls."
To get enviable tousled tresses try Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, the classic go-to for sexy beach waves. Makeup artist Francelle used creamy beige Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Tashkent on lips. For nails, try Essie's bright Knockout Pout.

UF men's basketball up to No. 10
Published: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 1:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 1:02 p.m.
Florida will begin Southeastern Conference play a Top-10 team.
The Gators moved up two spots to No. 10 in this week's AP Top 25 men's basketball poll.
Florida (11-2) began the season at No. 10 in the country, but dropped to as low as No. 19 following a 65-64 loss at Connecticut on Dec. 2. Since then, the Gators have won five straight to work their way back up the rankings.
The Gators open league play Wednesday at the O'Connell Center against South Carolina. Florida has won 23 straight at home, one shy of the school record of 24 from March 1, 2006 to Nov. 28, 2007.
In the preseason, Donovan said he didn't think his team was worthy of a top-10 ranking. But his feelings have changed after Florida weathered a challenging non-conference schedule that included wins over Florida State, Kansas and Memphis.
"I think we're a better team," Donovan said. "I don't know where we should be ranked at this point in time. I haven't seen everybody in the country play, I think we've played some very, very good teams."

Rogue LAPD cop Christopher Dorner apparently committed suicide after he was surrounded by police:
The dramatic manhunt for fugitive ex-LAPD cop Christopher Dorner, who killed at least four people, apparently ended when the rural California cabin he holed up in went up in flames, with ammunition exploding in the inferno and smoke billowing up into the mountain air.
A source told the Associated Press that a charred body was found in rubble of the cabin. Sources told KTTV that the body appeared to be Dorner, but there was no official confirmation.
Dorner, who hours earlier had killed one San Bernardino sheriff's deputy and wounded another before barricading himself in the cabin, in the San Bernardino mountains, was believed to be inside. Dorner, who vowed not to be taken alive, had been surrounded inside the cabin since early Tuesday afternoon. It was not clear who set the fire in the Big Bear community where Dorner apparently has been hiding since sometime last week.
Listening to the police scanners, is seemed rather obvious to me that the fire was intentionally set by authorities in an effort to smoke Dorner out of the cabin. They did the right thing.
Update: LAPD is holding a press conference, and says the cabin is still too hot to enter, no body has been recovered. Nice job of jumping the gun by claiming a body has been found when that isn't the case, Associated Press.

My Campus, My Classroom & Me
The connected world is such a wonderful thing! As an educator, it keeps you in a constant state of excitement plus some trepidation thrown in.
The thoughts are always there….Will I try to implement this software in my classroom because I know it will work? Will I try this new Web 2.0 tool that I found on the net? Will I try & use this in my classroom with the chance that it will be an epic fail? And the answer is predominately YES!!
Currently our campus is going through a massive focus reshift as we no longer have any externally based assessments to teach to (the NSW School Certificate in particular). We are now moving into a realm of certification and this is going to be really exciting (for me at least) but there are some who will not be as excited to let go of years of emotional attachment to content & the way in which it is presented. We are trying to move our school to a healthy mix of Assessment of Learning & Assessment of Learning. In our rapidly changing classroom environment, I believe they both need to coexist for students to be able to learn at their best.
As we are all aware, IT Education needs both (learn to use the software so you can implement it into your classroom & the same for students). Our Year 9 students have classes in using their laptop that the DEC issued them term 1 as part of the Digital Education Revolution. These classes have been enormously successful as the devices have a massive amount of software on them, including the Adobe Design Premium Suite of software. The devices are in a 'locked down' environment (specified by the department) and that has more benefits than drawbacks (less troubleshooting time involved). This means that we can maximise the student usage of the devices in the classroom & minimise downtime for all concerned.
We are in a phase of restructuring with plans in place in 2012 for our refocus to kickstart in 2013. We are putting into place training for all of our year cohorts with the ideal situation being that they all receive an IT accreditation each of the 4 years that they attend our campus. Our staff are currently also in the training phase, with initially interested teachers being targeted with the idea of all staff being involved after the evaluation of the 2013 pilot program. Our students will all have globally-recognised IT skills & abilities that they can use to further their education or gain employment. And that for me, as an IT educator, is extremely gratifying.
At the heart of this new certification age is the use of Adobe Acrobat Pro X &, in particular, ePortfolios. As it is pre-installed onto the device, all content created on the device can be easily converted by Acrobat by the students, and then either submitted for assessment ( we use Moodle at our campus), or archived ready to be added to later or taken with them when they leave our campus. We extensively use Microsoft OneNote at our ca mpus and our students submit their notebooks for assessment each term by creating a PDF and submitting for content approval, a lso done in Acrobat with the use of Comments & stamps. The majority of the content is brought together in Acrobat and directions/instructions are put on each PDF, which speeds up availability of content.
Acrobat Pro X is the glue that binds our digitallly-based, paper-free, IT courses together.
I will keep you updated throughout the semester with how our students, staff & administrators are moving towards the next exciting phase of our journey.

The Original Muffin Top Tin
I'd rather have 3 muffin tops than one whole muffin, that's for sure. And now, I can! This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where they sell muffin tops but can't figure out where to throw out all of the muffin bottoms. Problem solved. This should have been invented a long time ago.

A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture tells a somber story when it comes to fluid milk consumption -- or the lack thereof.
Between USDA dietary intake surveys in 1977-78 and 2007-08, the share of pre-adolescent children who did not drink fluid milk on a given day rose from 12 percent to 24 percent, according to the report.
Pre-adolescents aren't the only ones to show a decline.
In 1977-78, 39 percent of adolescents and adults drank milk with a morning meal, the report says. By 2007-08, the percentage had decreased to 28 percent.
Why is this happening?
Researchers blame generational differences. From a wider selection of beverage choices to changes in food environment, children today are developing habits that will continue through their adult life. Therefore, the decline in milk consumption will likely continue.
It is a trend that worries researchers.
"Because greater decreases in consumption frequency are observed among more recent generations of Americans, it may be difficult to reverse ongoing consumption trends. Indeed, holding all other factors constant, the gradual replacement in the population of older generations by newer generations will exert downward pressure on Americans' average consumption of fluid milk," the study concluded.
Read, "Why Are Americans Consuming Less Fluid Milk? A Look at Generational Differences in Intake Frequency."
However, all may not be lost. At the 2011 Dairy Forum meeting, Steven Goldbach, partner at the Monitor research firm, outlined a marketing strategy developed from extensive consumer research. Just as Taco Bell reminds its customers that it is "open late" or that Snickers candy cars satisfy hunger between meals, the same approach can be used for fluid milk.

Thiamin (as Benfotiamine): 55 mg
Benfotiamine is a synthetic, lipid-soluble derivative of thiamin. Several human clinical trials have demonstrated the superior absorption and bioavailability of benfotiamine compared to water-soluble thiamin salts. Oral benfotiamine is absorbed into the intestinal wall by passive diffusion and rapidly converted into active thiamin; the net result is a greater concentration of thiamin in blood and tissues. In the body, thiamin promotes normal nutrient metabolism and neuromuscular transmission. By supporting normal thiamin pyrophosphate levels, Benfotiamine has been shown to support healthy transketolase activity. Transketolase helps support the normal formation of methylglyoxal, which helps to maintain a normal level of Advanced Glycation End product (AGE) formation (1). Benfotiamine has also been shown to help maintain healthy levels of AGEs (2).*
Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to increased cellular levels of free glucose, and when the body cannot metabolize, or clear glucose efficiently, the excess glucose can bind non-enzymatically to proteins and other molecules, forming AGEs. AGEs can compromise protein structure and function, DNA/RNA structure and function, and can have a negative effect on many aging processes. Human clinical trials have shown benfotiamine supplementation to help promote the normal clearance of AGEs already in the body. Benfotiamine has also been suggested to promote normal glucose levels in retinal and other tissues. Recently, benfotiamine research has demonstrated its effects on supporting normal circulation to the extremities. Dr. Gadau at the National Institute of Biostructures and Biosystems in Italy found that benfotiamine can promote endothelium-dependent vasodilation, support normal oxygenation, and help maintain normal ischemia-induced endothelial and skeletal muscle cell apoptosis oxygen flow through the blood vessels to support overall vascular health.(1, 3).*
Taurine: 1,000 mg
Taurine is a semi-essential sulfuric amino acid found in abundance in the human body. It is considered semi-essential because humans can synthesize up to 80 percent of their total taurine concentration from other sulfur-containing molecules in the body. However, it's been documented that our natural synthesis of taurine decreases with age, likely due to a decline in biosynthetic enzymes.*
Taurine has various biological functions including antioxidant activity. Supplementing with taurine has been shown to help maintain normal and promote normal aging. Studies suggest taurine promotes normal AGE formation. Other benefits of taurine include supporting heart, vision and brain health as we age.*
American Ginseng Root Extract (5% ginsenosides): 500 mg
Similar to Panax Ginseng, American Ginseng is a perennial in the ivy family rich in triterpene saponins known as ginsenosides. American Ginseng has been used since the 1800s by Native Americans for its numerous health-related and adaptogenic properties. Being an adaptogen, ginseng can help the body maintain proper immune balance under stress and help to combat occasional fatigue. Ginsenosides have been suggested to promote cardiovascular health by supporting normal nitric oxide synthesis and support the immune system by promoting normal natural killer cell activity, B lymphocyte proliferation, and antibody production. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that just 400 mg of American Ginseng extract can help maintain the plasma concentration of phase 2 detoxification enzyme quinone reductase (4). American ginseng may also promote cognitive health by promoting healthy levels of superoxide and glutathione in neurons.*
More recent research indicates that ginsenosides may help maintain normal blood glucose levels. Several studies have reported that giving patients American ginseng root prior to a meal helped maintain normal blood sugar levels after the meal. Mechanistic studies suggest this result is a combination of promoting the normal activity of the rate-limiting glycolytic enzymes glucokinase that break down sugars and phosphofructokinase in the body and supporint the normal activity of the rate-limiting gluconeogenic enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase enzymes that synthesize sugar(5). There is also some evidence suggesting American ginseng helps maintain normal pancreatic beta-cell insulin production and secretion.*
Cinnamon Bark Extract: 250 mg
Cinnamon bark has a long history of use as a spice and flavoring agent. Ancient literature dates cinnamon usage as early as 2000 BC in Egypt and areas surrounding the Mediterranean. Cinnamon has a wide range of polyphenolic compounds and oils suggested to have beneficial effects in humans. Studies indicate that cinnamon is high in powerful antioxidant properties and can promote digestive health. In a critical review from the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, investigators determined that cinnamon bark can help maintain fasting blood glucose levels. (6). A recent study in PPAR Research suggests cinnamon helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by helping to maintain normal levels of the transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and its target genes including GLUT4 transporters: this promotes the normal transport of circulating glucose into muscle tissue to be used as energy (7). In vitro studies demonstrated cinnamon can help to maintain a normal level of AGE formation. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, scientists believe the phenolic constituents of cinnamon can help maintain normal AGE production. (8). Maintaining the normal production of AGEs may be a critical factor in supporting healthy aging.*
N-Acetylcysteine: 200 mg
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the sulfur-containing amino acid, cysteine. NAC-Acetylcysteine, along with glutamic acid and glycine promotes the normal conversion of cysteine into glutathione. Glutathione is one of the primary cellular antioxidants and has been touted as the body's 'master antioxidant.' Several studies have demonstrated that oral NAC-Acetylcysteine supplementation helps maintain healthy levels of glutathione in the liver, plasma and in the bronchioles of the lungs. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest NAC-Acetylcysteine has other beneficial properties, such as supporting the immune system, detoxifying heavy metals, supporting a healthy heart and reducing exercise fatigue due to reduced levels of oxidative stress. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting NAC-Acetylcysteine can help maintain a healthy glycation process.*
Where do AGEs come from?
AGEs are present in foods, especially foods cooked at high temperatures and browned such as foods that are grilled, broiled or fried. Cooking at lower temperatures (poaching, boiling) can reduce the presence of AGEs in foods. Cigarette smoke (as well as smoke from other tobacco products) also produces a vast amount of AGEs. Finally, AGEs can be produced in the body when free glucose binds to protein.
What can I do naturally do reduce my exposure to AGEs?
To reduce your consumption and production of AGEs, minimize intake of browned proteins such as grilled, fried or broiled meats, stop smoking and avoid exposure to cigarette/cigar/pipe smoke.

The American Society for Microbiology Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) is an interactive four-day conference on scientific updates and effective teaching strategies. Now in its 16th year, the conference attracts over 300 microbiology and biology educators.
Educators come from colleges, universities and international institutions to learn and share the latest information in the biological sciences and education research.
The conference program includes plenary, concurrent, poster, and exhibit sessions. Participants engage in formal and informal small group discussions between colleagues all focused on the same goal: to improve teaching and learning in the biological sciences.
In this episode, we talk with Erica Suchman, Associate Professor, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, and Local Organizing Chair for the 2009 meeting. Erica talks about her attendance at the meeting for the past 12 years and the benefits of participating. Also featured are several participants at the ASMCUE 2008 held at Endicott College in Beverly, MA and ASM's Education Director, Amy Chang, a co-founder of the Conference.

Peter Som Fall 2012
We're not even to the weekend and it already looks like there are at least two pieces we may be seeing repeatedly: the coatdress and the slouchy leather pant. Peter Som included both in the fall collection he showed at Milk Studios this morning, and he did so quite well. His cocoon coats in wool and bonded satin wrapped tightly around the waist—and probably could be worn alone—but still offered the sense of volume that re-emerged for pre-fall. They were refined in rich emerald and claret; Som's got a fantastic eye for color, and this season's palette was inspired by natural minerals. The slouchy leather pants (worn with shorter, oversize jackets in the show, but likely to be paired with a T-shirt on the street) seem to be the next incarnation of the dressy track pant that designers have been playing with recently.
Balancing this softness were sharp, straight skirts with plenty of sheen and dresses in blocks of varied prints. The two elements together reflected Som's interest in sculptors Constantin Brancusi and John Chamberlain—the melodious shapes in the former's work and the sharp cacophony in the latter's mashed-up wrecks of cars. The tension resulted in some beautiful, and beautifully constructed, pieces. But it didn't leave us with a strong, cohesive sense of Som's individuality. He has the talent to make the clothes. It would be great to see him express more of his unique vision in their design.

Forums: Index > Watercooler > G7 RAW save in JPEG size
Hi ive recently installed the G7 hack and it works fine but when i check the size of the new RAW files there the same size as the JPEG
what am I doing wrong?
- did you turn ON raw? (the first option in the CHDK menu is Raw Parameters, and the first option there is to turn it ON or OFF (I believe its on if there is a dot between the brackets [O](=ON) vs [ ] (=off) It does take like 2 secs longer to save an image, so it it seems as fast, perhaps you haven't turned it on. See the firmware usage page.
- CHDK will also save a JPG of the same image. The raw file will have the name CRWxxxx.CRW (where xxxx is the file number) and there will also be a JPG file with the same number. So if RAW was activated, then look for the CRW file.

Subject: Fudge Lab/Solubility
Hi All!
I am so excited! I tried the technigue that was used on video 3 (I think)
where Mrs. Berry allowed her students to "role play" or use creative ways to
show understanding of solubility. Students were assigned a type of reaction
to discuss (Decomposition, Synthesis...) They were told to use creative
ways to teach the material to the class. They were told to use props, role
play, demostrate, write a poem...whatever it takes to teach the type of
reaction. I allowed them to choose their groups and I assigned the type of
reaction. I am thrilled! They made signs, special hats...all kinds of
creative ways to learn the info. They did such a nice job! It was great!
The fudge lab I have done in the past. It works very well.
1 heavy 3-4 quart saucepan
3 cups granulated sugar
1and 1/2 sticks of margarine
2/3 cup of evaporated milk
1- 7 oz jar of marshmallow cream
1-12 oz bag of real chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup nuts (optional)
hand towels for doing dishes
1 large spoon
1 mixer and beaters
liquid measuring cup
poy holders
foil or plastic wrap
cooling pan
*Teacher provides a hot plate and dih washing detergent
1. Prepare cooling pan by greasing it down with the margarine papers. (not
too much)
2. Combine the sugar, milk, and margarine in the pan. Heat to boiling,
stirring constantly.
3. After the mixture comes to a boil, decrease the heat and boil gently for
approximately five minutes.
4. After about 5 minutes, test your mixture by dripping a spoonful into
cold water. If the mixture feels smooth between your fingers like caramel,
then you are ready for the next step. If you feel any sugar between your
fingers, keep cooking.
5. Whe the mixture is ready, remove the pan from the heat and place on pot
hoder. Stir in chocolate chips until melted.
5. Add marshmallow cream (with mixer) until the mixture is uniform in
color. Add vanilla
6. Add nuts (if necessary)
7. Pour the mixture into the greased cooling pan.
8. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
This is really a fun lab. You can bring the idea of solubility, solute,
solvent, supersaturation....
They love it!

Rumors persist that Thomas Lincoln wasn't Abraham's biological father. They're addressed in Lincoln Legends: Myths, Hoaxes and Confabulations Associated With Our Greatest President by Edward Steers Jr. (University Press of Kentucky), available for preview through Google Books. Link to it from our Google library.
You may be a cousin and not know it—supposedly, Abraham Lincoln kept quiet about his family because he believed his mother was born out of wedlock. No one's found records to prove or disprove his suspicions. But maybe he didn't have to worry so much: the fact we're celebrating 200 years later shows actions speak louder than ancestry.

Do you know where the (database) error is? Add it to the list!
We want to build the most extensive and comprehensive list of database error messages in existence! Our project may be ambitious but we think that we can achieve it with your help.
We're not asking for much of your time - if you come across an error while you work (or there is a sticky one that you've come across in the past) just post it in this thread.
In order to be able to classify all submissions, we need as many details as possible, with special attention to:
If you don't know the solution, that's cool - post the error anyway and we will do everything in our hands to find an answer. But if you do happen to know the solution, it would be great if you tell us.
An example:
"Database Engine: Oracle 11g
Error Code: SQLState : s1000[oracle][ODBC][ora] Ora 28000
Error Message: The account is locked
Error Description:
The true database error is ORA-28000. The rest of the message is given as the connection to the database was done via a ODBC driver.This error message is typically given when a user has tried to log in too many times but did not provided the correct password. The number of tries is specified by the user's profile parameter FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS.It may also be the case that the Database Administrator has closed the account, probably for security reasons. As an example, when the database has been migrated and the old database is not to be used anymore.Another possibility is that the password was reseted but an application connecting to the database was not updated with the new password and therefore it locks the account over and over.
Error Solution:If it is a case of too many attempted logins, waiting may solve it. The variable PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME will indicate how long this waiting will take.If the database has been migrated to a new server, make sure that your TNSNAMES.ORA does point to the correct server. If you think that you have an additional problem (such as a DSN name solving issue), try to use the server IP address instead of the name of the server.If other applications are using the database, make sure the these applications are using the right password and can connect to the database with no issues."
May the errors be with us!
Database Engine: SQLite
Error Code: N/A
Error Message: Error: near "index": syntax error
Error Description:The following query fails and the table is not created
create table members (index integer primary key, name text not null);
Error Solution:Many syntax errors can be spotted by adopting a better style of writing queries. Though in this case the error is caused by the use of a "keyword" that has special meaning. IMHO it is much better to avoid using keywords as identifiers (it can make things confusing) but if it must be, enclosing them in single quotes will tell the database it's an identifier (double quotes signify string literals)eg. The following query will create the table[s]
CREATE TABLE 'members' (
'index' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
, 'name' TEXT NOT NULL
[/s][edit]:d'oh: I must have been thinking of something else - or more likely not thinking See next post[/edit]
If you want to use a keyword as a name, you need to quote it. There are four ways of quoting keywords in SQLite:'keyword' A keyword in single quotes is a string literal."keyword" A keyword in double-quotes is an identifier.[keyword] A keyword enclosed in square brackets is an identifier. This is not standard SQL. This quoting mechanism is used by MS Access and SQL Server and is included in SQLite for compatibility.keyword A keyword enclosed in grave accents (ASCII code 96) is an identifier. This is not standard SQL. This quoting mechanism is used by MySQL and is included in SQLite for compatibility.
CREATE TABLE "members" (
"index" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
, "name" TEXT NOT NULL
in general, this is incorrect
in fact, it's the other way round, single quotes delimit strings, and double quotes (can) delimit identifiers
however, sqlite is very forgiving...
as a "best practice" strategy, always use single quotes for strings, and double quotes for identifiers
Database Engine: MySQL
Error Code: 1064
Error Message: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ...
Error Solution:You have a poorly formatted SQL query, whose syntax is incorrect. This could be a missing parenthesis, missing comma, extra comma, extra parenthesis, extra or missing quote, etc.
To help track it down, consider reformatting your query to make mistakes more obvious.
For example, let's say you have the following query:
SELECT ProgramName AS `name`, SUM(CASE WHEN Billable = 'PENDING' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS `pending_leads`, SUM(CASE WHEN Billable = 'PASS' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS `pass_leads`, SUM(CASE WHEN Billable = 'FAIL' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS `fail_leads`, FROM leads WHERE ProgramID = '1' AND `TimeStamp` >= '2013-01-01 00:00:00' AND `TimeStamp` < '2013-01-31 23:59:99' GROUP BY ProgramName
Consider re-formatting it like so:
ProgramName AS `name`
CASE WHEN Billable = 'PENDING' THEN 1
) AS `pending_leads`
CASE WHEN Billable = 'PASS' THEN 1
) AS `pass_leads`
CASE WHEN Billable = 'FAIL' THEN 1
) AS `fail_leads`
FROM leads
ProgramID = '1'
AND `TimeStamp` >= '2013-01-01 00:00:00'
AND `TimeStamp` < '2013-01-31 23:59:99'
GROUP BY ProgramName
Now it is easy to see the extra comma immediately before "FROM leads"
This is most common issue we face in oracle DB
Database Engine: Oracle
Error Code: ORA-00907
Error Message: missing right parenthesis
Error Description :
Let's see this SQL statement below
SELECT *FROM Table_NameWHERE Name_Value IN (' GENERAL'S OFFICE')
If we run a statement by passing a similar value in WHERE statement. Where the parameter passed to IN statement with single quotes within the value, This error prompts deciding the value ends where the first single quotes is hit ' GENERAL'S OFFICE' i.e. 'GENERAL'
Error solutionThe solution is pretty simple just replace the single quotes within the text value similar to one below
SELECT *FROM Table_NameWHERE Name_Value IN (' GENERAL''S OFFICE')
Here it may look like double quotes in text but it is replaced with two single quotes.That's the exact solution.
Error Code: ORA-01439
Error Message: column to be modified must be empty to change datatype
Error Description : When we try to change a column data type which already has values stored in it
ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name column_type;
Error solutionYou can only modify a column data type if has no or null values
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = NULL;
Then try to alter the table column datatype
Error Code: none
Error Message: "Query End" in processlist - multiple entries. Possibly "too many connections"
Error Description:When you check the process list in MySQL, you may see lots of processes in "Query End" state. If you kill them they remain as "Killed" but don't go away. You may also have problems stopping and starting the MySQLd process. Another symptom is that you may run out of connections, with a "too many connections" error. MySQL has a max_connections variable that actually means "maximum standard users, plus one extra super user", so if your site is connecting via a super-user then you won't be able to log in to perform any maintenance either.
Error Solution:There are many reasons for this, but the most common one that I've come across is that the drive where your MySQL data is stored is out of space. This is especially common if you're logging (ie using replication) or maybe you've just recently added a LOT of data to your database. On a *nix based system, you can try a command like this to see if any of your drives are low on space:
df
Look for the Use% column. If you see anything close to 100% then you may have just found your problem.
If you can log in to MySQL you can purge logs (assuming that is where the space has gone) with a query something like this:
Alternatively, you may be able to get rid of a few large files on that drive and can then restart MySQL. You will need to either add more space, or in the case where you're logging too much data you'll need to implement a better maintenance schedule to keep the size of these down
Error Code: 2003 / 10061Error Message: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hostname' (10061)
Error Description:When you try to connect to a MySQL database using a site (ie WordPress, PHPMyAdmin etc) or a desktop GUI (ie HeidiSQL, MySQL Workbench) you may receive an error stating that you cannot connect to MySQL server on 'hostname'
Error Solution:There are many causes for this, but there is one fundamental reason: Your attempt to connect has been blocked somewhere between the client and the server. You will not get this error if the MySQL client has been able to connect to the MySQL server but could then not authenticate.
Steps to take to attempt to resolve:
There are other reasons, but I've tried to cover the three most likely ones and the first ports of call

LONG BEACH -- Police and Coroner's officials were called to a Belmont Shore home Wednesday after a woman's body was found, authorities said.
Long Beach Police Department patrol officers were called to the home in the 200 block of Nieto Avenue at about 9 a.m. regarding the death, said Nancy Pratt, a police department spokeswoman.
There were no signs of foul play and the death appeared to be due to natural causes, though the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office will have to conduct an autopsy to issue an official ruling, Pratt said.

I recently got my hands on a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M (the "M" at the end indicates Mac compatibility) and I've fallen in love with scanning again! I haven't enjoyed scanning this much since the day I bought my first flatbed color scanner, but that was back in the day when you spent thousands of dollars for 300 DPI color.
Anyway, what I'm loving about this scanner is that it's fast and the paper handling rocks. This little guy scans color/duplex just as fast as my black and white laser printer prints! It's rated at 18ppm duplex (so 36 page images) in color and really chews through stacks of paper with its 50-sheet ADF. I was impressed by a few test scans, but I'm pretty picky and I thought it would be a good idea to put this scanner through a real test.
I recently moved my office and decided it was time to do some housekeeping/purging, and I couldn't think of a better (and geekier) way to tidy things up than a paper-to-PDF conversion. Amidst conference calls, emails, and various other projects, I managed to scan 35 pounds of paper today. It's in a big box ready for the recycler in the morning!
35 POUNDS! Gone!
The only thing I'm bummed about is that I cannot directly control the printer within Acrobat 8 Professional. According to Rick Borstein, this is because the scanner doesn't support a TWAIN driver. Not ideal, but I can live with it because the driver software that comes with the scanner can be configured so that by pushing just one button I can convert up to 50 pages at a time into a single PDF and have it opened directly inside Acrobat. At that point I can just save the PDF or post-process it with some cleanup, compression, or OCR using the features in Acrobat 8 Professional.
Excuse me while I grab another box of paper from the basement….
[Update: Somehow I forgot to mention that this great little scanner includes a license of Acrobat 8 Professional. The scanner is selling for $425US on Amazon. Acrobat 8 Professional retails for about $450US. You do the math!]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying.
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break;
He restores my faith in study guides.
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake.
Yea, tho' I walk through the valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown;
For Thou art with me;
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.
Thou givest me the answers in moments of blankness;
Thou anointest my head with understanding,
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.
Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me
All the days of examinations;
And I shall not have to dwell in this university

Are you ready?
Ready for What?
There is a time coming when life as you currently know it will be over. So what happens then? Does everything end? Is everything just over? Well, maybe... but what if it isn't? What if you're wrong? What if, when you die, you find yourself standing before an all righteous judge who's standard for acceptance is complete perfection? Not just pretty good but complete perfection! Then what? Will He accept you or reject you? Are you perfect, or just pretty good?
The Good News!
Well, there's good news! It's called the Gospel. And this good news says that, because of what Christ has done, we can be forgiven, be accepted by God and can live forever with Him.
Are You Willing?
But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly accept it. God requires an individual response from you. The following verses from the Bible show God's part and yours in this process:
- Who is good?
- "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10)
- Who has sinned?
- "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
- What are my options?
- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
- But I'm a sinner, how?
- "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
- What should I do?
- "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
- Is this really for me?
- "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
I think I get it, but what do I do?
1) Realize you are a sinner in need of a savior.
2) Repent; ask for forgiveness and turn from your sins.
3) Ask Jesus to come into your life and be your savior.
You might pray something like this:
"Father, I know I am a sinner in need of a savior, and I know if I die in my sin, I will be eternally separated from you in Hell. I know your Son Jesus was the only one capable of paying my sin debt, and I know He died for me on the cross and rose again three days later and is now sitting at your right hand! I ask you to please forgive me of my sins and I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my savior. I trust in Him completely for this and will now do what He says! In Jesus name, Amen."
OK, What now?
1) Now that you are a Christian, rejoice and tell someone.
2) Pray! Pray about everything, asking the Lord for His help and guidance.
3) If you don't have a Christian Bible, get one and read it every day. It contains God's words, and through it, the Holy Spirit will teach you how to live.
4) Find a local Bible believing and teaching church and get involved! Attend it regularly and serve where you can. This will help you grow as a Christian.
5) Find Christian friends to fellowship with! They will encourage you and you can encourage them. They will also help keep you on the right path.
Nothing can take the place of Prayer, Bible Study, Service and Fellowship. These are of primary importance. They are not rules to follow that will save you, Christ has already done that, if you have put your trust in Him. But they are key to living a life that will honor God! And maybe one day, you will hear Him say "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21) If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com! We'd love to hear from you, and to help in any way we can.
