An introduction to the evils that lurk in your bathroom
Submitted to Natural Matters by http://www.purely-natural.net/
If you've come to this website you are probably already aware that some of your favourite beauty products could prove hazardous to your health, or that of the environment. Perhaps you already use natural or organic products as a matter of principle.
But you may not be entirely sure why particular products are particularly risky or which chemicals are to blame. There is a bewildering amount of information available about the potentially harmful effects of some of the chemicals and ingredients in health and beauty products.
Below is a quick guide to help you navigate through some of the most common, followed by links for further information. Arsenic - the Consumer Agency and ombudsman in Finland detected very small amounts of the deadly chemical in 49 samples of eyeshadow, and in 2001, a team at Dartmouth Medical School in the US found chronic exposure to very low levels of arsenic can cause hormone disruption. [Guardian] Nonylphenol: used in various personal care products such as hair care products and dyes, this was part of a voluntary ban negotiated between green groups and manufacturers in 2004.
Parabens, which by some estimates are found in 99% of all leave-on cosmetics and 77% of rinse-off cosmetics including moisturisers, body sprays, cleansers, hair removal creams and some deodorants, are skin and eye irritants and can cause allergic reactions. They have also been found to mimic the female hormone oestrogen, leading some scientists to hypothesise a link between parabens and breast cancer. Research carried out at the University of Reading in 2004 that parabens were present in 18 out of 20 breast cancer tissue samples – although it is important to note that the study did not prove that parabens actually cause cancer. (see http://www.breastcancer.org/research_deodorant.html)
'Parfum': among 10 ingredients WEN found listed in lip gloss, this is apparently a catch-all term for hundreds of chemicals, 24 of which have been identified as a common cause of allergies by the European Union's Scientific Committee on Cosmetics And Non-Food Products. Despite this, specific chemicals in parfum do not have to be labelled, so there is no way of telling which might be in your make-up, according to the Guardian (see "Chemistry Lesson" by Ian Sample and Sally Kinnes, 08/05/04.)
Phthalates: used in fragrances, hairspray and nail polish, along with non-cosmetic products such as cling film, plastic bags and children's toys. Animal studies have shown that these chemicals can damage the liver, the kidneys, the lungs and the reproductive system. In 2005 new studies in the US found that some harm the development of unborn baby boys.(http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,11381,1493570,00.html). The European Parliament has banned the use of the phthalates DEHP and DBP in cosmetics. (http://www.nottoopretty.org)
Propylene glycol: Found in soap, blushers and make-up remover, this is a mild irritant which in large quantities has been shown to depress the central nervous system. It is also used in anti-freeze. Sodium laureth sulphate: A frequent ingredient in shower gels and shampoos (as well as some industrial cleaners), it can irritate the skin and eyes even at low concentrations.
Women's Environmental Network (WEN) found one brand of foundation contained five different parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). According to the Journal Of The American College Of Toxicology, in some cosmetics 'that irritant property is attenuated'. Safe when used in products that are rinsed thoroughly from the skin, the journal said 'in products intended for prolonged contact with skin, concentrations should not exceed 1%'. However rumours that it causes cancer have been debunked by authorities such as the American Cancer Society and the Environmental Working Group . See:
Toluene – found in nail varnish and easily absorbed through the nail. The US Protection Agency's Office of Pollution and Prevention Toxins says it is safe to use but that breathing large quantities can affect the kidneys, liver and heart.

I think I just got a bargain. Big Lots had this tea for 2 bucks for 100g, I bought 2. This is a light blend but its great in the afternoon. This is a blend of a few mild teas. No bitterness or astringency that I can taste. This is a nice smooth and mellow tea and I really enjoyed it.

Arsenal News: Double England boost, American announcement, £35m winger talks
EXPRESS SPORT brings you the latest news from the Emirates.
Jack Wilshere has been called up for the England squad meeting
Arsenal duo Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck are set to be included in the England get together.
Roy Hodgson has called on 40 players to join him for a squad debrief ahead of the Euros in France this summer.
And the injured Arsenal stars will be among the ground despite not playing all season.
Welbeck could return to the Arsenal side for the FA Cup game against Hull a week Saturday.
Arsenal are set for a tour to the USA in the summer.
They will play the MLS All-Star team as part of their pre-season preparations.
The game will be played at San Jose Earthquakes' Avaya Stadium on Thursday July 28.
"We are pleased to welcome Arsenal, one of the most successful clubs in the world, to compete against the best of MLS," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
"Our AT&T MLS All-Star Week has become a celebration for the North American soccer community, highlighted by two teams showcasing many of the world's top players. We look forward to a world-class event on July 28 at our newest state-of-the-art venue, Avaya Stadium."
Alexis Sanchez is set for talks over a new deal
And Arsenal are set for contract talks with Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean has been instrumental in putting the Gunners in a strong position to challenge for the Premier League title.
Arsene Wenger's side sit third in the table ahead of Sunday's showdown with league leaders Leicester.
Sanchez has racked up six goals and was missed when he was out with a hamstring injury for two month over the festive period.
He signed for Arsenal for £35m from Barcelona in July 2014.
And now the Sun are reporting the former Barcelona player is expected to discuss terms at the end of his season and wants promises over the club's ambitions.

Every time a proposal to reform the hiring and firing of teachers is put forward in California, it's just as complicated and, in ways, as counterproductive as the current system. Ousting teachers here is ruinously protracted and expensive and, ultimately, nearly impossible. Legislation to fix this regularly fails, in part because the bills aren't well conceived, but mostly because of opposition from the California Teachers Assn. and reluctance by Democratic politicians who rely on the union for support. Yet just this week, the state of New Jersey proved that it doesn't have to be difficult to be fair to teachers while weeding the ineffective ones from the classroom.
Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation Monday that lengthens the time a teacher must work before receiving tenure from three years to four. It also makes that probationary period more meaningful by requiring a year of working with a mentor and two years of satisfactory evaluations before tenure can be granted. If a school wants to fire a low-performing teacher who already has tenure, it must first try to help the teacher improve. If the teacher challenges the termination, the case is submitted to binding arbitration. Teachers are given a little more than three months to contest a firing, and the cost, which is paid by the state, cannot exceed $7,500. Efforts to terminate teachers must be based on comprehensive and regular performance evaluations.

As informed by the tweet of the executive produver of DKDM Nitin sir.. the upcoming track would of Lord Ayyappa of Sabrimala... a Legend most popular in Kerala, but demand for this track was on since a loong time..!!
Hence.. I have made this topic so that we can have discussions on this upcoming track and also share informations and other associated legends with Lord Ayyappa...
The information below has been taken from the official website of Government of Kerala Sabrimala Sri Dhrama Sashtha Temple...!!
Hence I own no responsibility fr the accuracy of this information... Hence the Forum members are free to add on the facts or informations from other sources as well like some scriptures etc...!!
Ayyappan (also called Sastavu ) is a Hindu deity who is believed to be an incarnation of Dharma Sasta, the offspring of Shiva and Vishnu (in the form of Mohini, his only female avatar), He is generally depicted in a Yogic Posture, wearing a jewel around his neck, hence named Manikandan.
Since the minister of the Raja was against Manikantan becoming the Yuvaraja, for several hidden reasons, he along with his sycophants lured the queen to act against the king's decision to coron Manikantan. On the coronation day of Manikantan as Yuvaraja, the queen pretended to be suffering from unbearable stomach ache, and said that she was unable to get any relief from the treatment of any doctor. Finally came a fake practitioner and prescribed "the milk of a tigress" as the cure of the queen's illness.This drama took place at the instance of the minister. The king appealed to everyonel to get the tigeress-milk, but no-one dared, as all feared death. At last, Manikantan came forward and went to the forest in search of tigress milk, despite the king's attempt to stop him as he was deeply frightened that the deemed Yuvaraja may not come back alive.
Manikantan entered the forest to fulfill his divine duty, to rid from the world, the demoness, Mahishi. Manikantan killed her and released a beautiful woman who had been cursed to become Mahishi. The young woman asked Ayyappan for his hand in marriage, but being a celibate he declined. However he promised that she would be visited by pilgrims and would be housed next to his temple, and if ever the number of new pilgrims (Kanni Ayyappan) stopped visiting him then he would marry her. Hence she is now worshiped as Maalikapurathamma.
On the death of Mahishi, Indra - the king of the gods, who was displaced and banished by Mahishi, led several tigers for the disposal of Ayyappan.
Days later Manikantan entered the palace precincts riding a fierce tigress and followed by a pack of her cubs. The schemers were frightened and confessed their plot. They were convinced of his divine origins, and prayed to him to be with them for their own salvation and for the safety of the kingdom. Immediately Manikantan disappeared. The king took a decision that he would not eat anything till Manikantan came back. Then Manikantan gave a darshan to the king.
Filled with emotions of happiness, grief, fear, wonder and 'Bhakti' (devotion to God) and self-surrender, the king stood praying for the mercy and blessings of Manikantan. He repented that he could not fully visualize the truth of the divine powers of the Lord and repeatedly requested him to forgive him for behaving as if he were his son only. The Lord lovingly embraced the King who prayed to bless him by freeing from ego and the worldly life of birth and rebirth and granted Moksha (salvation). He told the King that he was destined to return. The king requested Lord Manikantan to allow him to build a temple and dedicate it to him and the Lord assented.
Manikantan then enlightened the King on the path of attainment of Moksha. The Lord shot an arrow that fell at the top of Sabrimala and told the King that he could construct a temple at Sabarimala, north of the holy river Pampa and install His deity there. Ayyappan also explained how the Sabarimala pilgrimage shall be undertaken, emphasizing the importance of Penance vratham and what the devotees can attain by His 'darshan'.
The King secured a promise from the Lord that on Thai Pongal on January 14, every year (celebrated as "Makara Jyothy" all his personal jewellery (usually kept at the Palace) will be adorned on his image at Sabarimala. Hence on the 12th of January every year, the Jewellery will be taken on foot from the Palace by a special emissary of the kingdom, after the puja with all pomp, devotion and reverence. Immeditely when the Arti is over, Royal Garuda (Eagle) flies over the Palace. The Royal Garuda flies ahead, and appears as though guiding the pilgrims throughout their journey. Since there was no modern means of communication like Telephone or Mobile, to the hundreds of thousands of Devotees desirous of worshipping Lord Manikantan's Jewels enroute to his Abode, this Garud was the sole and absolute signal of advance information even to the Temple authorities at Sabarimala to get ready for the adorning of the Jewels. This journey on the 12th and 13th of January finally reaches Sabarimala on January 14th. Immediately after the jewellery is adorned on the Deity, there is an Aarti (offering by burning Camphor). The miracle is that just after the Arti, without loss a second, the Jyothy appears on the east side of the Temple up above the Hills. But then the Lord further consoled the King saying that the devotees who held him and his descendants in 'Bhakti' shall happen to be devoted to Him as well. Manikantan then blessed the King and all others assembled there, and vanished. The King duly constructed the temple at Sabarimala, dedicated to him. The deity for installation was prepared by Parasurama, believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and was installed by him.

YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's lower house of parliament agreed on Wednesday to delay the awarding of two telecoms licences until a new telecommunications law comes into force, a lawmaker said.
The announcement of the winners had been scheduled for Thursday, June 27. The draft law is still making its way through parliament.
It was not clear whether the lower house of parliament had the authority to delay the procedure, which is overseen by the Telecommunications Operator Tender Evaluation and Selection Committee (TOTSC).
"A lower house lawmaker tabled an important motion suggesting that choosing the two telecoms operators should be postponed till the new telecoms law is enacted," Thein Nyunt, a lawmaker and chairman of the New National Democratic Party, told Reuters, adding that no objection was raised in parliament.
No one at the TOTSC was immediately available for comment. After decades of isolation and economic mismanagement under military governments, mobile phone penetration in Myanmar is put at no more than 9 percent, lower even than North Korea.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Outpost' started by swirly_commode, Feb 3, 2013.
lets just undo the emancepation proclamation
It wouldn't make much of a difference considering it's the 13th amendment that ended slavery.
All the Emancipation Proclamation did was free the slaves in the rebelling states.
Jesus you're stupid.
the details may be incorrect, but the point is still valid.
these documents were not drafted to be overturned on a whim.
Just like the phrase "a well-regulated militia" wasn't meant to be ignored on a whim.
aye, nor re-written.
Yeah well your mother wasn't drafted to be overturned on a whim.
Because she's fat.
theyre just old pieces of paper
the people who wrote them are long dead.
who really cares about old pieces of paper.
Well, you DO raise an interesting point....let's just say we tossed the entire Constitution and all supporting legislation.
lol, how much chaos would there be for a while?
Who is ignoring it? If you diagram the sentence structure involved in the 2nd Amendment it is clearly two different subjects as defined by their independent phrases. It is a complex (compound) sentence.
The 2nd amendment clearly involves two different subjects. A militia and a right to bear arms. To argue that is just stupid. What you can argue is how much of a leash the legislature has on its ability to regulate said rights. Kind of like the SCOTUS has said and has been happening since the country was founded.
First subject with supporting phrase.
Second subject.
Both Subjects and phrases work just fine with "Shall not be infringed" when used fully independent of each other. The 2nd amendment is not the only amendment to include multiple subjects in what could be described as "multi-amendments". The only people who say Militia is linked to the right to bear arms are anti-gun zealots who know they have no grounds for a point and they grasp at straws. If you want this changed, there is a mechanism to alter the Constitution...either through the Congress or the States but it is fully adjustable. Make with the amendment.
Or is the argument that the 1st amendment only gives free speech as it pertains to religion since that is the first in the group of subject/phrases?
The guy who wrote the 2nd Amendment did so because the states were afraid that if the Feds ever had a standing army it could be used to oppress the states. The ability for the states to have their own armed and well regulated militia was seen as a counter to this. That is what the 2nd Amendment is about. That is what the free State phrase is about.
The right of the people is different from the right of an individual. The people, as represented by the states, have a right to bear arms ( a military term which doesn't especially apply to individuals) as a part of a state militia.
It was just with a very recent Court decision that the right was applied to individuals, and that was just in D.C., which isn't a state.
There are all sorts of interpretations of the 2nd Amendment. The gun nuts like to pretend that theirs is the only valid one and any other interpretation is unconstitutional. Despite Court decisions otherwise. As the power of the Courts to interpret what the Constitution means is a part of the Constitution, it is the gun nuts who are more than willing to disregard and gut the parts of the Constitution they don't like.
If the Courts decide that all individuals can have any weapon they want, well, then, to do so is Constitutional. I might not like it, but, I wouldn't argue it was not so. If the Courts decide that the government, either at a state or Federal level can regulate and/or restrict gun ownership by individuals, well, then THAT would be constitutional, whether or not the gun nuts agreed with it. That's how our country and our Constitution work.
Gun nuts can't handle this, apparently.
no. WE have always had the right.
certain municipalities decided to infringe on that right and the SCOTUS corrected it.
the constitution has never varied, only it's application.
thank god for the supreme court for saving us from tyranny yet again.
learn up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller
hehe. Even Scalia agrees that localities have the right to regulate guns.
... yeah and that is exactly why the 14th Amendment was passed in 18FUCKING68.
to prevent localities from limiting the rights of citizens....
What about it?
If you are talking about that recent court case with Chicago, it did not prevent localities from, in your words, limiting the rights of citizens. Localities still have the right to regulate weapons. They just can't ban them completely.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"
You think this phrase is talking about the individual states? In this context, the term "State" very clearly refers to a nation.
So when the first amendment mentions "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances", you think it's saying that the states have the right to assemble and that the states have the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances?
How exactly do states assemble? I know how individuals can. I don't see how states can.
You're just flailing. Your interpretations seem desperate.
grouch isn't flailing. he isn't informed enough to do so.
he is simply PARROTING what he was told and i'll correct that right now.
what i am referring to precedes Chicago and sets the precedence for:
which side are you on Groucho?
Actually, the writers of the Constitution do differentiate between State and Nation. Read the Bill of Rights The word States is used several times and it always refers to, well, the States.
And, read up on the history behind Madison writing the 2nd Amendment. Here is the first draft
and here is how it ended up
The reason for the change is that folks back then were afraid the Feds might become too powerful for the states to deal with. hence, the need for states to maintain militias.
But, things change over time. I would agree that individuals do have the right to bear arms, but, also that the government has the right to regulate them. Just how far this regulation can go is a matter to be thrashed out in court. There is nothing unconstitutional about having the power to regulate guns.
That would be interesting if the word in question was "States". It's not though. It is "State" as in the singular "a free State". There is no question that in this context it is referring to a nation. If you had a valid objection, you wouldn't have to resort to pretending like they'd used a word they didn't.
Why did Madison change nation to State? My interpretation is just as valid as yours. And, if it referred to the Feds, where is that well-regulated federal militia? Wasn't one then. Isn't one now. What we have is a bunch of state militias that the Feds can tap in case of need, but, which, otherwise, are under the control of the States. Because the states didn't want the Feds to have complete military control.
Just imagine how much law enforcement could get done without the pesky 4th and 5th amendments.
actually, im pro slavery.
i could keep a couple of little 18-20yo "house maids" around.
lets repeal that amendment too. or just butcher the hell out of it until i can get my "house maids".
i mean, they clearly didnt anticipate todays crappy wages and forced indentured servitude by the rich, so lets just repeal the whole amendment.
its just a piece of paper
I don't know why everyone is so worked up they don't have the votes to pass any meaningful gun control, there will be some increased background checks and that will probably be it.
- Your interpretation doesn't match any meanings of the words. Mine is literal. They are not equally valid.
- The well regulated federal militia is call the United States Army.
- The states didn't want the feds to have complete military control. That's why they said "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
My interpretation matches the interpretation of the man who wrote the amendment, of thousands of localities, and of all court decisions up to the present. One of the most conservative justices on one of the most conservative courts in our lifetime agrees with my interpretation. A large number of states put clauses similar to the 2nd Amendment in their own state constitutions because they knew the 2nd Amendment didn't apply to them.
Localities have a right to regulate and restrict guns. It is not an absolute right. What regulations are allowable or not allowable will be a matter of court cases over the next couple decades. By then, there should be a fair body of cases and precedents such that what the boundaries are is fairly clear.
The only interpretation that truly matters is that of the courts, and they have repeatedly upheld that weapons may be regulated at both the local and federal levels. The second amendment is not a free-for-all of any weapon, anytime, anywhere.
There is an allowable line for regulation. The real question is where do we, as a responsible society, want to place that line.
Nothing fully automatic or involving high explosives. I can live with those restrictions.
The constitution is there to define and "restrict" government, not the people.
The government are the people, welcome to democracy.
OMG we've gutted the Bill of Rights zero times! Oboes!
It has already been well established that the government can regulate firearm sales and ownership, it's not even a question.
Of course it's not a question. You know what else isn't a question?
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
You can make all the laws you want so long as they are mostly irrelevant. If you try to make any really relevant ones, they'll get smacked down.
Are background checks irrelevant?
How about stringent requirements for concealed carry permits?
How about limiting the size of magazines?
How about a registry of weapons?
How about banning certain kinds of weapons?
How about forbidding weapons in certain areas, like schools or bars?
localities may be able to restrict rights, but as i mentioned before.. that conflicts directly with the 14th amendment.
while it is clear that the 14th was not drafted to secure gun rights, it still applies and trumps whatever restrictions states or localities may impose.
all restrictions that fall into this category will be overturned on appeal. not some of them, ALL of them.
i know you hate the decisions in Heller and McDonald, but that is and always has been the law of the land.
AND if you wish to challenge them i recommend you research the grounds they are built upon.
no. because fuck you. these areas are the places bad guys are killing people today.
Okay. Maybe we don't disagree very much. What would you consider relevant ones?
The people are speaking through the NRA.
Don't get me wrong. I'm against most of that stuff. It's just not relevant under the 2nd amendment. The registry of weapons idea is particularly horribad. There's no legit reason for the government to track that sort of thing. It's doubly bad when you consider that the information is made public.
Imagine if the government started tracking valuable jewelery and that list was available to anyone who made a FOI request.
Dum, dum, dum.
I can understand not wanting the list to be public. Having no way of knowing who owns a gun found at a crime scene seems silly, though.
background checks are truly the Achilles Heel.
this is a subjective check.. based on what exactly???
any meaningful limitation of firearms really starts here.
bad credit??? NO GUNS FOR YOU
like Alex Jones:??? NO GUNS FOR YOU
have two penises??? NO GUNS FOR YOU
ate at McDonalds on a Friday??? NO GUNS FOR YOU
it's so fucking silly that you will be able to explain how it is relevant.
this thread isnt about guns!
its about my need for a slave maid!
why does everything have to devolve into guns with you scaredy cat gun grabbers?
Why would a criminal leave a gun at a crime scene if it was linked to his identity?
Lots of guns are already registered and those ones don't get left at crime scenes. The only ones that get dropped are the ones that can't be tracked to the criminal.
Long as we are going to have another Constitutional Convention not a whole lot.
Might even make us a better nation for it.
Have not doubt. If slavery became a liberal cause we could quickly see reasons as to how slavery is needed the safety and confort of whoever they want enslaved. They have already said putting women in hijab in order to stop men's lust. Homosexuals support people who would hang them because liberals say they should support them. They rage against the only place homosexuals are allowed in the Middle East. It is easy to figure out liberals. Just follow the money to evil people and their mass of stupid and ignorant followers.
A background check seems like a senseable idea if you could trust government with that information. I for one do not trust the government at all. Liberals seem to think government is all knowing pure and good. While intent may not be evil the results mostly are.
They'll let the assault weapon ban get a vote and die so that they can get universal background checks and tracking laws in place.
You're such an ignorant schmuck. Die already. Your place in hell is reserved.
Sobaki believes in hell.

IRVING — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was optimistic enough after a loss in Baltimore to say his team could evolve into a Super Bowl contender "not next year — this year."
His tune and tone changed a bit when the Cowboys lost star linebacker Sean Lee to a season-ending toe injury this week. He all but declared the team's leading tackler irreplaceable.
"That's a setback," Jones said. "The old adage that it gives someone else a chance to show what they've got doesn't necessarily apply here because he's a proven difference-maker out there."
Jones said all this with the Cowboys facing one of their biggest games of the year on Sunday. The NFC East-leading Giants will be in town, boasting the NFL's second-rated offense and eager to avenge a season-opening loss to Dallas.
The Cowboys also have to play the second straight game without their best running back, DeMarco Murray. The team isn't saying when Murray will return from a foot injury sustained in the Baltimore game two weeks ago, although Jones said he didn't think it would be long term.
"I've said all along I think this team has an opportunity to be a contender, but the one exception that I made was ... sitting as we're sitting right now health-wise, injury can make a difference and does in the NFL," said Jones, whose 90-year-old mother, Arminta Jones, died this week.
Lee sustained ligament damage in his right big toe in last weekend's 19-14 win at Carolina, and surgery is scheduled for next week. He said he will be sidelined three to four months but should be healthy by February — in time for offseason workouts.
Coach Jason Garrett and his teammates expect Lee to be an active participant in practice and on game day, and the third-year pro out of Penn State indicated as much Thursday.
"You have to be positive because if you're negative you're not going to get any better," said Lee, who missed a year in college with a knee injury and sat out part of last season with a dislocated wrist before finishing the season in a cast. "As frustrating as it is, there's no getting around it."
Bruce Carter will take over Lee's spot and the defensive play-calling for the Cowboys, while Dan Connor, Lee's close friend and former Penn State teammate, will slide into Carter's spot. Connor signed as a free agent after four years at Carolina.
"I think everybody is going to miss him," Carter said. "He really took the job serious. That's something I've got to step up as a player for myself. I don't want to let those other guys down."

Obituary Francis Parker
Born in Washington, DC on January 8, 1958, Francis Parker was the 5th child for Mary and Sylvester Parker.
Francis had fun growing up with his 6 siblings (Jimmy, TT, Melvin, Franklin, Michael and Gladys) in Fairfax. As children, they enjoyed outdoorsy fun and lots of mischief. Francis warmly recalled funny stories of getting into trouble with his mom and having to go pick his own "switch" out of the woods. After spending his early years growing up in the City of Fairfax and attending Fairfax County Public Schools, the Parker family moved to Alexandria, Virginia. There Francis attended Alexandria City Public Schools. Throughout childhood, Francis spent generous amounts of time with his paternal grandmother, Frances. He continued to spend time with her into his early adulthood. While living in Alexandria, Francis met his first love, Paula. Together they had 1 daughter, Crystal. In 1976, Francis joined the Army. He was stationed in Texas and spent 6 months of his active duty in Germany.
After his service concluded in 1982, Francis landed a "good" job at RC cola delivering soda. He later spent several years working at AAA. While at AAA, he became a master of maps and atlases. Later, he worked at the Hollinger Cooperation, a box plant in Arlington. Francis was a highly intelligent young man with a strong work ethic. His took great pride in his craft and his employers were usually quite grateful to have him on board. Never afraid of hard work, when Francis needed extra money, he worked for his father at Parker's Paving and Asphalt.
Most Parker men were into cars and Francis was no exception. His first "cool" car was a yellow Pontiac Trans Am. He loved that car. He later acquired a Mazda RX-7, which he took care of like it was a NASCAR race car. Francis was such a car enthusiast, that he once appeared on a CNN documentary about car purchasing. He got a kick out of being a TV star. He loved going for fast rides, especially in his present-day "performance car", a BMW that he named "Pompous." No further explanation needed on that one.
Francis loved dogs. He owned 2 Jack Russell Terriers at different times that he named "Jack" and "Russell", respectively. He also enjoyed being a "granddad" to his daughter's pet Boxer, Jaz. He liked reading textbooks, magazines, and newspapers. He enjoyed reading the newspaper while having coffee first thing in the morning. He followed politics and kept himself abreast of the happenings in the world. You had to be prepared for a lengthy conversation if you brought up topics of automobiles, science, religion or politics. He was well-read and self-taught in each of those areas.
In 1996, he met and later married his sweetheart and best friend, Mai. Francis and Mai started a family with her son, William, in Woodbridge, VA. They added a little girl, Nzuri (NZ), in 2000. Francis and Mai remained close friends until his departure from earth.
His final career was as a Postal Carrier for the US Postal Service. When he became a postal carrier in 1999, he was very proud of this accomplishment and took pride in re-establishing a career in the federal service. He rarely took a sick or vacation day, and remained true to the old adage that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night would keep the mail from being delivered. His commitment to his duties and customers was undeniable, as evidenced by an older couple on his mail route who looked forward to conversations with him every day. They had grown so attached to him that they looked for him when he fell ill and no longer delivered their mail.
"Parkerblood", as many affectionately called him, was always intelligent, charming and sincere. He had a no-nonsense, honest, humorous and sarcastic personality that touched all who knew him. Sometimes his honesty got him into trouble, but he usually charmed his way right out of it…. eventually.
Francis passed away on Friday February 7, 2014. He will be missed by his family and friends, including his brothers and their wives, Jimmy (Jackie), Franklin, Michael (Marcel), and his baby sister, Gladys. His daughters, Crystal and Nzuri and "bonus" son William. His grandchildren Gabriel, Grant and Jay. Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
The Family will receive friends on Thursday, February 20, 2014 from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the Baker-Post Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 10001 Nokesville Road, Manassas. Service will begin at 11:30 in the funeral home Chapel with interment following in Quantico National Cemetery, Triangle, VA.

Legal Question in Business Law in California
Cancel a non cancellable commercial lease agrrement?
I am in a partnership, and my partner signed a non cancellable lease agreement with a company. The company does CC processing, and were ''stuck'' in this lease until another year and a half. What can we do? What can i do? My partner was the one who signed the paperwork, can they still go after me if we just quite on them? They are in business in Massachuesetts, i am in California.
I tried the ''were going out of business'' line, and they said my partner would still have to keep paying until the end of the lease, or ''buyout'' the lease. It's a significant amount, and would like to get the heck out of this thing.
Any ideas?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Cancel a non cancellable commercial lease agrrement?
Hire competent counsel immediately this is not a do it yourself project and it takes too long to write and their are probably more facts to be dicussed. Purchase someones time to get a good opinion on it, it's worth it.
Re: Cancel a non cancellable commercial lease agrrement?
Assuming it is a general partnership, you will be personally liable to the landlord on the lease. The advisability of taking the buy-out provision or forcing the landlord to take legal action to establish the amount of damages is an issue that requires examination of the documents and the local real-estate market by an attorney who has local real-estate knowledge and also knows the proclivity of local courts to apply mitigation requirements.
You should also obtain legal advice as to whether your partner(s) have somehow breached the partnership agreement and are therefore liable to you for any consequences of their action in entering into this lease. If they violated the partnership agreement you can look to them to indemnify you for the consequences -- this is no help against the third-party creditor (landlord) but if your partners have deep pockets and violated the partnership agreement you should be looking to them to make you whole.
Re: Cancel a non cancellable commercial lease agrrement?
Generally, the partnership is responsible for any partner's acts. However, you can always try to negotiate a deal with the lessor.
Feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

About Pathfinder Online
An exciting new era in gaming begins with Pathfinder Online, a next-generation Massively Multiplayer Online fantasy roleplaying game currently in development from Goblinworks in partnership with Paizo Publishing!
Pathfinder Online is a hybrid sandbox/theme park-style MMO where characters explore, develop, find adventure and dominate a wilderness frontier in a land of sword and sorcery. The Pathfinder world is high fantasy in the tradition of epics like The Lord of the Rings, Conan, the Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones.
The Pathfinder setting includes many different classic and modern fantasy elements, from lost cities shrouded in misty jungles to decaying pyramids amidst deserts of burning sands to a fantastic island metropolis where folk from across the world live side by side with all manner of fantastic creatures. The Pathfinder world has a place for any story a player wants to tell. (For more information on the world of Pathfinder and the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, please visit paizo.com/pathfinder.)
Pathfinder Online's robust trading system puts players in control of the world's economy with player-created items, consumables, fortifications, and settlements. Character-controlled settlements can grow into full-fledged kingdoms that compete for resources as they seek to become the dominant force in the land, raising vast armies to hold their territory against the depredations of monstrous creatures, NPC factions, and other player characters.
Social organizations scale from small parties of a few adventurers to player nations inhabited by thousands. As settlements develop, the surrounding wilderness develops more complex and challenging features, including randomly generated encounters and resources as well as exciting scripted adventures.
The design process for Pathfinder Online has only just begun, and there is plenty of opportunity for gamers to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new project. Paizo and Goblinworks are committed to soliciting player feedback, and you'll be able to track the game's development here at goblinworks.com.

North County Times
Spring is here. As we prepare to clean off the barbecue, dig out the sports equipment, and tend to the garden, it is also a good time to do some "spring cleaning" of our relationship with alcohol. Perhaps this is why the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) has observed April as "Alcohol Awareness Month" for many years.
Many people acknowledge that drinking and driving often results in tragic consequences, and that alcoholics are in need of treatment. As we laugh at the latest beer ads and look forward to a night on the town, however, it is harder for us admit that alcohol may have a negative effect on our own lives. But light to moderate drinkers (those who do not fit the definition of alcoholism, but who periodically overindulge) cause more than half of all alcohol-related problems, including traffic crashes, domestic violence, vandalism, chronic illness, and sexual assault.
Moderate drinking, as defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is no more than two drinks per day for a man and no more than one drink per day for a woman. Before someone orders a 32-ounce "happy hour" margarita or picks up a 40-ounce bottle of beer for their "one drink," they should also know that "one drink" means 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 1/2 ounces liquor (with slight variations due to alcohol content).
Recognizing the need for prevention, Alcohol Awareness Month has focused on the problem of underage drinking for several years. With a cost of more than $6.5 billion in California alone, underage drinking is a problem for us all. Here in San Diego County, Operation Safeguard was kicked off on March 1, 2001 and represents a two-month effort to increase enforcement of underage drinking laws. Law enforcement and prevention professionals know, however, that making more arrests will not solve the problem. The solution will come when more people recognize that underage drinking is a problem and do something about it.
Doing something starts at home, especially if you live with people under age 21. Evaluate the role alcohol plays in your life, and how you portray that to kids. Do you "need" a drink to relax or have fun? Do you encourage guests to have more to drink? Do you allow underage drinking, thinking it's under your control? Do you ask kids to bring you a drink or to serve alcohol at your parties? Though they may never admit it, kids are greatly influenced by the actions of adults in their lives.
The Tri-City Prevention Collaborative is working to reduce the harm of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs in the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista. For information on its programs and events, call (760) 757-8211.
Erica Leary has a master's degree in public health from San Diego State University and is a prevention specialist with the Tri-City Prevention Collaborative and the Vista Community Clinic.
