I find so many have no clue about gardening anymore. So many don't know how to garden with the tools our grandparents & great-grandparents used to garden with. It is hard work, but the reward of seeing those fruits & vegetables growing is amazing. Tasting those fresh grown fruits & vegetables is the best reward. Sharing those good things grown from Mother Earth is even better.
Gardening is something a whole family can become involved in TOGETHER. Youngsters LOVE helping. Then, when they see those seeds pop up & start growing they get so excited that they helped do something amazing. A family that works together, eats together & prays together is a family that STAYS together. Gardening is a way to build strong & healthy families in more ways than one.
Our native communities need to do everything we can to promote healthy lifestyles & healthy families. Getting back to nature & the ways of our ancestors is a key to getting balance back into our families as it should be. A people who are healthy in mind, body & spirit are a people who are far happier, healthier & have a purpose in their lives that promotes living in a good way.

This is a true story,
When I was in school and when N64 first came out Taco Bell held a similiar contest with Nintendo chracters. You collect certain pieces for free taco, free n64 games, Free n64 system and with the grand prize being Million bucks. So I'm in taco bell one day with Friends and I get the Super Mario piece which is part of million dollars. Of course I'm thinking Mario? Common piece since he is the center piece and thought nothing of it. So I throw away the piece and few weeks later I'm in taco bell again And this time I'm looking at the back of the game piece for odds of getting the stickers.. *Cue the Music* Mario was 1:16,000,000 True fu*king Story.... |

As a kid I once thought I pulled the fourth railroad piece and the prize was like an SUV and a jet ski. Raced home and it was just a duplicate of one I had
On another note I am shocked these go for anything on Ebay. I had no idea, I mean why bother just go buy a Big Mac and get some pieces for free if you want them so bad. It's not like any are that rare, I would imagine they print up a ton of most of them and then print like one of each of the last ones you need for a big prize. They want people to think they are close so they keep buying.

I eat at McDs maybe one time per year. Made my one stop on Sept. 29th. It was late and nothing else was open. I saw the rules on the wll. I've never seen such a TOS for a game. Somewhere in that poster with 8pt font must have been the words 'nobody will win.'
I didn't even get a game piece with my purchase. I don't think I've ever even seen a McD's Monopoly gamepiece. I'd rather cook my own burger at home. I guess I can start including prizes with those. |

Two All-Time Greats?
In today's article I will discuss two of the best performers that the game has seen over the last 20 years. One could potentially be hanging up his spikes while the other is hoping to have his name called out in a couple of days when the Hall of Fame voting results are announced.
The Yankees Are in Trouble
Reports continue to trickle out that Andy Pettitte is legitimately leaning toward retirement (an announcement could even come within the next few days). This isn't a salary push or anything like that, it's simply a decision that Pettitte needs to make for himself and his family as he has apparently grown a bit weary of the toll the game has taken on his body. Here are the facts.
(1) He doesn't need the money having made more than $125 million in his career.
(2) His place in history is secure. Pettitte has been one of the finest postseason pitchers of modern times, just take a look at the numbers: 19-10, 3.83 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 173 Ks over 263 innings pitched. As for his regular season work, he's also been one of the best left-handed pitchers of recent times. Not just that, he profiles quite well amongst all lefties who have ever pitched as his total of 240 victories is tied for 12th all time with Herb Pennock and Frank Tanana. Pettitte also has a winning percentage of .635 in his career which is the 9th best mark of any left-handed pitcher in the history of baseball (min. 1,500 innings pitched).
(3) He was darn good last season, even at 38 years of age, as he went 11-3 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. Unfortunately he was limited to 129 innings, his lowest total of his 16 season career other than his injury plagued 2004 season. Given the struggles to stay healthy last season, it just sounds like Pettitte has had enough.
(4) If he doesn't come back, as seems quite likely at this point, the Yankees are in big, big trouble. Here would be their projected rotation, sans Pettitte, if the season started today.
CC Sabathia: A worthy #1.
A.J. Burnett: Coming off his worst season (5.26 ERA, 1.51 WHIP).
Phil Hughes: Won 18 games but had a 4.90 ERA after the break and has only one season of starting in
Ivan Nova: He's appeared in all of 10 big league games.
Sergio Mitre: Made only three starts last season and owns terrible career ratios (5.27 ERA, 1.50 WHIP).
If you are a Yankees' fan it's time to pray to whomever you pray to because you desperately need Andy Pettitte to put off retirement for another year.
The Historical Place of the DH
Almost a year ago to the day I wrote a piece about Edgar Martinez and his Hall of Fame candidacy entitled Is There Room for a DH? In that piece I laid out my thoughts about the case of a man who was a Hall of Fame worthy performer, save for two significant points. (1) Martinez wasn't given a full-time role with the Mariners until he was 27 years old, so some of his counting numbers just aren't that impressive when placed in a historical context (he had only 309 homers, one less than Jay Buhner and 1,261 RBI, 10 less than Tino Martinez). (2) No full-time designated hitter has ever been elected to the Hall of Fame (Martinez played the field in less than 30 percent of his career games). Both points, on their own, could be enough to keep Edgar from ever being enshrined in the halls of Cooperstown.
At the BaseballGuys' Twitter account today there was some back and forth about the fact that Martinez deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. After all, DH is a position, to which I argued it's a one way position. Martinez was a hitter, but would anyone call him a player? In my mind that means he will have a very difficult time convincing the voting body that he deserves baseball's ultimate honor. Conversely, it can be argued that pitchers only do one thing – pitch – and no one has any complaints about hurlers making the Hall so perhaps people will be willing to overlook the fact that Martinez played most of his career without even owning a glove. In the end I wish that baseball would do the right thing and eliminate the whole debate by returning the game to its roots by riding itself of the abomination that is the designated hitter.
And finally, are you as pumped as I am about the upcoming 2011 fantasy baseball season? In order to help you kick off your quest to be a champion in '11, we at Fanball have set out to provide you with all the tools that you need to accomplish your goal.

HOBOKEN - After almost two months, Hoboken City Council President Beth Mason's resolution calling for the release of emails of Mayor Dawn Zimmer's confidential aide and the city communications director was passed by the council.
Mason originally wanted all emails from both of Zimmer's staffers to be released to see if the two have been doing political work on city time, but after being told that the request could cost the city almost $200,000 in attorney fees to review the documents, the resolution was reintroduced to include only emails to and from 12 people, mostly members of the local media as well as bloggers.
Before the vote, city attorney Mark Tabakin asked the council to go into executive session to describe what potential impact the resolution may have on the ongoing criminal investigation in City Hall by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The city announced last week that the FBI is investigating a potential breach in the city's electronic communication system after agents were seen removing computers from City Hall. The city has released few details about the probe.
Some members of the council seemed ready to ignore Tabakin's advice and vote on the resolution anyway, but the council eventually agreed to go into an executive session.
After the closed session, the council amended the resolution to call for the release of emails between two of Zimmer's aides and the local media and bloggers, contingent upon the FBI approving the emails' release. It is unknown whether the FBI will actually be willing to look at the emails or make any approvals. The resolution passed by a 5-3 margin. Councilman Peter Cunningham left the meeting early.
The City Council also voted to introduce ordinances that would lower the salaries of Zimmer and her directors. The ordinances will need to be approved at the next council meeting on June 15 to go to the desk of the mayor to sign into law. The council meeting on June 15 is the final meeting that the mayor's opponents will have control of the City Council.
Sixth Ward Councilman Nino Giacchi will be replaced by Councilwoman-elect Jennifer Giattino in July. Giattino defeated Giacchi in the May 10 City Council election after receiving the support of Zimmer in the race. After Giattino is sworn in, the mayor will have five allies on the nine member council.
It is unknown if the salary cuts will go into effect, as under Hoboken's form of government, a mayor can veto ordinances.
The council also passed amendments to the city's budget that will return the budget surplus to the taxpayers. Zimmer's allies had been trying to keep a 5 percent budget surplus to improve the city's bond rating. However, other members of the council said they would like to give all of the surplus back to the taxpayers to provide immediate tax relief.
For much more on the council meeting and the happenings of City Hall, make sure to pick up a copy of The Hoboken Reporter this weekend. - Ray Smith

Do you cut your own hair?
Yes... I shave my own head bald...
I rarely cut my hair. When it's being done, I just go on a family visit to my sister and ask her to do it; she used to have her own business in it :P
I cut my own hair. I dont trust the barbers anywhere. I carry my clippers on vacation and all.
I actually can give myself any type of cut but I prefer the high and tight.
Thats a sharp line around the higher portion of the head. I can fade my hair to perfection. Or just cut it. All it takes is practice and 2 mirrors. Wahl seells a product with guides to cutting hair that are actually pretty good. Right at around 40 dollars US.
Good Luck
I have before, I don't frequently though.ßß

If possible, before you try to stop severe bleeding, wash your hands to avoid infection and put on gloves. If the wound is abdominal and organs have been displaced, don't try to push them back into place — cover the wound with a dressing.
For other cases of severe bleeding:
- Have the injured person lie down and cover the person to prevent loss of body heat. If possible, position the person's head slightly lower than the trunk or elevate the legs and elevate the site of bleeding.
- While wearing gloves, remove any obvious dirt or debris from the wound. Don't remove any large or more deeply embedded objects. Your principal concern is to stop the bleeding.
- Apply pressure directly on the wound until the bleeding stops. Use a sterile bandage or clean cloth and hold continuous pressure for at least 20 minutes without looking to see if the bleeding has stopped. Maintain pressure by binding the wound tightly with a bandage or clean cloth and adhesive tape. Use your hands if nothing else is available. If possible, wear rubber or latex gloves or use a clean plastic bag for protection.
- Don't remove the gauze or bandage. If the bleeding continues and seeps through the gauze or other material you are holding on the wound, don't remove it. Instead, add more absorbent material on top of it.
- Squeeze a main artery if necessary. If the bleeding doesn't stop with direct pressure, apply pressure to the artery delivering blood to the area. Pressure points of the arm are on the inside of the arm just above the elbow and just below the armpit. Pressure points of the leg are just behind the knee and in the groin. Squeeze the main artery in these areas against the bone. Keep your fingers flat. With your other hand, continue to exert pressure on the wound itself.
- Immobilize the injured body part once the bleeding has stopped. Leave the bandages in place and get the injured person to the emergency room as soon as possible.
If you suspect internal bleeding, call 911 or your local emergency number. Signs of internal bleeding may include:
- Bleeding from body cavities
- Vomiting or coughing up blood
- Bruising on neck, chest, abdomen or side
- Wounds that have penetrated the skull, chest or abdomen
- Abdominal tenderness, possibly accompanied by rigidity or spasm of abdominal muscles
- Fractures
- Shock, indicated by weakness, anxiety, thirst or skin that's cool to the touch

Denotes a sudden, rapid, short-term effect (e.g. a fast occurring toxic effect).
General term for mixtures of gases (e.g., air) that contain suspended solid or liquid particles (so-called particulate matter) which are approximately 1 nm to 10 μm in diameter. Sea salt aerosols, for example, are formed as sea water droplets that are dispersed into the atmosphere by wind evaporate to leave sea salt particles.
atomic force microscopy. The AFM tip scans the sample line for line. Due to repulsion between needle and sample, a movement of the tip is detected. A three dimensional image can be simulated.
Accumulations of weakly bound particles or aggregates or of compounds of these, whose resulting surfaces are similar to the sum of surfaces of the individual components. Agglomerates are held together by weak forces, for example Van der Waals forces or simple physical hooks. Agglomerates are referred to as secondary particles, while the unbound particles are known as primary particles.
See also ISO/TS 27687:2008 (E),
International Organization for Standardization
Solidly bound or molten particles, whose resulting surface may be much smaller than the sum of the calculated surfaces of the individual components. Aggregates are held together by strong forces such as covalent bonds or forces caused by sintering or complex physical hooking. Aggregates, just as agglomerates, are referred to as secondary particles.
See also ISO/TS 27687:2008 (E),
International Organization for Standardization
from Latin alveolus, "little cavity". Thin-walled, tiny air sacs, located at the ends of the smallest airways in the lungs (the bronchioles) where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
describes a foreign substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody. Antigens include toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells, and the cells of transplanted organs.
any substance that prevents or reduces free-oxygen-radicals which attack other molecules and modify their chemical structure. Antioxidants are commonly used as preservatives in food or cosmetics. Well-known antioxidants include vitamins A, C, and E.
physiological or programmed cell death. In apoptosis only individual cells are affected generally and these react to internal signals (e g adjacent cells) or external stress situations. At the beginning of this process the cell nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria are shrinking; the cell membrane remains undamaged, so that no inflammatory reaction occurs. The biochemical indicator of apoptosis is the fragmentation of DNA. Along with proliferation the apoptosis is the common instrument to stabilise the cell count.
Description of a method (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) for the analysis technique of sizing surfaces by means of gas adsorption.
Greek for bios - life and Latin accumulare - pile up, accumulate; is the accumulation of a substance in an organism by absorption from the surrounding medium (e.g. water in fish) and through food.
Greek for bios - life and compatible; substances having no negative impact on living organisms or tissues, behave neutrally in the body and do not cause allergic or toxic (poisonous) reactions. Particularly relevant for implants (e.g. made of diamond, zirconium dioxide, titanium) that are located over a long period in direct contact with an organism.
Greek for bios - life and Latin magnificare - increase; is the accumulation of a substance in an organism, only taking the dietary intake into account.

Literal meaning "from bottom to top". Production process starting from small units (from atoms, for example, in nanotechology).
or Buckyball, these are other terms for the carbon compounds described under fullerenes. They are derived from the name of Buckminster Fuller, the "inventor" of the fullerene structures.
A substance, an organism or a radiation that causes or promotes cancer.
The property of nanomaterials to penetrate cell walls or membranes due to their small size is referred to as cell penetration capacity.
Denotes a slowly occurring or long-lasting effect (e.g. toxic effects occurring only after long exposure time or a protracted inflammation).
In medicine, the clearance is a measurement of the excretion ability of certain organs like the kidneys or the liver. It corresponds to the calculated plasma volume per unit of time [ml/min], which was cleared of a particular substance.
is a covering that is applied as a thin film to the surface of an object, e.g. nanoparticles. Coatings are applied to improve surface properties of the nanoparticles, such as solubility, adhesion, wetability, and corrosion resistance, and to reduce dissolution of ions. Frequently used coatings in nanotechnology include polymers, lipids (medical applications) or metals (catalysts).
Very small solid particles (typically smaller than 10 µm) suspended in a solvent. Compared with solids in suspensions, solids in a colloid do not precipitate, i.e. do not sink to the bottom of a vessel. In liquids, colloids are recognized by clouding and/or the so-called Tyndall effect.
Collective term for measures related to volume, e.g. g/ml, kg/l, g/cm3. Due to their high surface/volume ratio, for nanoparticles instead of mass-related, surface-related concentration ranges, e.g. cm2/ml is frequently used.
describes the regular arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystal lattice. Different lattice structures of the same material (e.g. titanium dioxide) give nanoparticles different chemical and physical properties (e.g. photocatalytic activity).
is referred to as the entire living content of a cell, which is enclosed to the outside by the cell membrane.
also intracellular fluid or cytoplasmic matrix; cytosol is referred to as the liquid components of the cytoplasm of cells. The cytosol consists of water and therein dissolved ions, small molecules and larger water-soluble molecules, such as proteins.
describes the self-cleaning mechanism of the bronchi during which mucus and other materials are removed from the airways by the cilia of the epithelial cells.
to deposit, marks the deposit of solid, liquid and gaseous particles in the organism
Physical process leading to the mixing of different gaseous, liquid or solid substances theat are in contact with each other.
from Latin dispersus. In chemistry: the mixing of two substances that cannot dissolve each other completely or react with each other completely.
In physics: Dependence of the propagation of waves on wavelength. Example: Decomposition of white light into light of different colours by a prism.
Materials that are impurified during production with small parts of another material (intentional impurification) are referred to as doped materials. Such traces of other elements can decisively affect the properties of a material, as, for example, is the case with different types of steel. In nanoparticles, individual atoms can be replaced by other atoms.
Greek for electron - amber and lytikós - soluble, a chemical compound that contains mobile ions, which move under the influence of a directional electric field thus generating electrical conductivity of the solution.

Describes processes originating or being produced within an organism, tissue, or cell.
derived from the Greek terms epi = upon, among; demos = people, district; logos = study. "The study of what is upon the people", Scientific studies are dealing with the reasons, impacts and extension of health related substances in populations. Epidemiological studies show impacts of toxic substances on the human population, often unintended by incident.
Latin: "out of the living", procedures or processes, in which living biological material, in particular cells, tissues or organs taken from a living organism and cultured outside of that. This will allow treatment and analysis of the material under controlled conditions.
Describes processes having an external cause or origin.
means to expose an object to a particular influence: In the case of nanomaterials, in particular, the contact of humans, animals or the environment with the possibility of incorporating nanomaterials. Both the quantity and the period of ingestion are of concern. For more information, see the Knowledge Base Nanomaterials - Basics - Exposure .
Atoms or molecules that contain one or several unpaired electrons and, in that sense, are "free". Correspondingly, any free radical has an electron that stands alone. Many free radicals are highly reactive, meaning that they have a strong tendency to arrange in pairs and, thus, escape the instable unpaired condition. For pairing, free radicals randomly receive electrons from a suitable donor or donate electrons to an appropriate aceptor which converts into secondary free radicals. Such chain reactions may cause biological damage.
Genotoxic effects are damages to the genetic material of organisms (DNA). They can lead to mutations or increase the error rate in the doubling of DNA at each cell division. Genotoxicity is therefore not necessarily associated with mutagenicity.
science concerned with the study of microscopic changes in diseased tissues.
from the Ancient Greek hydor "water" and philia "love", water-loving. Describing the character of a molecule, a substance or a surface, which has an affinity to water.
from the Ancient Greek hydros "water" and phobos "fear", water repelling. Describing the character of a molecule, a substance or a surface, which has a low affinity to water.
means the simulation of biological and biochemical processes using computer programs.
"In the test tube", from the Latin vitrum – glass, referring to reactions outside the organism, sometimes under participation of autologous physiological conditions.
from the Latin vivus – alive, characterising reactions or processes that take place in the living organism under physiological conditions.
Typical response of animal tissues to potentially damaging stimuli e.g. by physical stimuli (pressure), chemical stimuli (heat or cold), or by micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria), with the function to remove this stimulus and to prevent its spread. Some technical nanoparticles are suspected to cause inflammations because of their bacteria- and virus-like particle shape, e.g. by inhalation of very high TiO2 concentrations in the lung.
Administration of (particle-)suspensions into visceral cavities or hollow organs (e.g. nose, throat) of an organism.
also IEP, pI or point of zero charge, is an important parameter for assessing the behaviour of nanoparticles in aqueous surroundings. The IEP is the pH of an aqueous suspension, where the positive and negative charges on the particle surfaces are balanced. The IEP for each particle type is individually different and an important material parameter to assess the stability of particles in suspension.
Lethal dose. Concentration of a substance that leads to death of 50% of the organisms exposed to it.
systematic analysis of the environmental impacts of products throughout the life cycle ("cradle-to-grave").
from the Ancient Greek lipos "fat" and philia "love", fat-loving, having an affinity to fat and high lipid solubility.
Lowest observed effect level.
small organells sorrounded by a membrane. The main function is to digest and to disrupt foreign material or body's own substances by the enzymes contained in them.
Is the simulation of different processes (biochemical processes in cells, material flows of nanoparticles in ecosystems) using especially developed computer programs. By changing relevant parameters of a process, modelling allows predictions and saves laborious experiments.
* MTT: Abbreviation for the dye compound 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromidefor
measuring the functionality of animal and human cells. Colorimetric assay for measuring the activity of enzymes that reduce MTT or close dyes.
describes the capacity of certain chemicals or high energy radiation to cause changes in the genetic material (DNA), known as mutations.
On 18 October 2011 the EU Commission adopted the Recommendation on the definition of a nanomaterial.
According to this Recommendation a "Nanomaterial" means:
A natural, incidental or manufactured material containing particles, in an unbound state or as an aggregate or as an agglomerate and where, for 50 % or more of the particles in the number size distribution, one or more external dimensions is in the size range 1 nm - 100 nm.
In specific cases and where warranted by concerns for the environment, health, safety or competitiveness the number size distribution threshold of 50 % may be replaced by a threshold between 1 and 50 %.
By derogation from the above, fullerenes, graphene flakes and single wall carbon nanotubes with one or more external dimensions below 1 nm should be considered as nanomaterials.
Nano-object with all three external dimensions in the nanoscale.
See also ISO/TS 27687:2008 (E),
International Organization for Standardization

results from an imbalance between the intracellular production of free radicals and the cellular defense mechanisms. The balance between oxidants and antioxidants may be disturbed by the increase in free radicals or the reduction of antioxidant substances. Oxidative stress may cause destructive biochemical reactions.
Predicted Environmental Concentration, is a theoretical value giving an indication of the expected concentration of a material (e.g. nanoparticles) in the environment (exposure assessment). The calculation takes into account the amount initially present (or added to) the environment, its distribution in the different environmental compartments, and the probable rates of environmental degradation and removal, either forced or natural.
Modified after http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/glossary/pec.html
refers to a molecule that is composed of 2 or more amino acids linked by peptide bonds (chemical bond between carboxyl and amino group of two adjacent amino acids)
In biology and environmental chemistry, the term "persistence" denotes the property of substances to persist in the environment over long periods of time while remaining unchanged by physical, chemical or biological processes.
Latin, short for pondus/potentia Hydrogenii (weight/power of hydrogen). Dimensionless measure of the acidic or alkaline (basic) reaction of an aqueous solution. The pH of a nanoparticle suspension affects the behaviour of particles in the solution (agglomeration, solubility, suspensibility).
(Greek phagein = to eat). Mechanism of uptake from particles to small cells in a single eukaryotic cell. Usually, particles are taken up by the cells as membrane-bound aggregates, i.e. large aggregates in vesicles, vacuoles or lamellar bodies (cell compartments surrounded by membranes) through phagocytosis. In mammals, phagocytosis is performed mainly by special cells of the immune system, including the macrophages, monocytes (precursor cells of macrophages), and neutrophils (or neutrophilic granulocytes, belonging to the white blood cells). This uptake is an active, regulated process.
predicted no effect concentration, predicted concentration of a hazardous substance in the environment which shows no impact on the environment (effect assessment). If this concentration is thus below the PNEC, it should not have any negative effects. PNECs find application especially with PECs in the risk quotient in environmental risk assessment.
Derived from the Greek words poly - more and méros - part, meaning "build from many parts", describes chemical compounds that are composed from identical or similar units (so-called monomers). These units can be linked to either chains or branched molecules
nanoparticles, which can affiliate to a bigger linked system (agglomerate, aggregate).
crystaline nanoparticle that exhibits size-dependent properties due to quantum confinement effects on the electronic states.

reactive oxygen species, the organism considering harmful forms of oxygen, which result from oxidative stress.
Settling of particles from liquids influenced by gravity and other forces, e.g. the centrifugal forces generated in a centrifuge. The sedimentation rate is determined by the particle size and density of the material.
caused by deposition or settling of particles (e.g. sand, suspended solids or organic remains) on land or in waters under the influence of cold, wind and water.
abbreviation for Scanning Electron Microscope. A device to study smallest samples by scanning the object using electron beams. The resulting images are detailed illustrations of the object surfaces and have a great depth of field.
Technical process, in which granular or powdery materials are mixed and then connected to each other by heating. They are baked together (similar to the burning clay or porcelain). The substances are heated to temperatures which are below the melting temperatures of the substance or at least one component of a mixture of substances. This method is used in many nanotechnology application processes.
The solubility of a substance indicates whether and to what extent a substance in a solvent (usually a liquid) can be solved. It describes the property of a substance to be evenly mixed with the solvent. Inorganic nanoparticles (mostly metals and metal oxides) decompose into ions. The solubility depends i.a. of temperature and pH of the solution.
superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.
is the electric charge present at the interface of the nanoparticle surface with a polar fluid such as water. The water contains positive and negative ions, which interact with the particle surface. If the number of adsorbed e.g. positive ions exceeds the number of negative ions, surface charge would be positive. Since direct measurement of the surface charge of particles measured is difficult, the zeta potential is calculated as a proxy for the surface charge.
are chemical changes on the surfaces of nanomaterials, which are commonly employed to impart certain improved properties to the surface of nanomaterials, e.g. improved solubility, resistance to UV light or scratch resistance.
meaning surface active agent. Its function is to lower the surface tension and to improve the solubility in aqueous solutions. As medical term it describes the thin liquid film lining the lung for stability reasons.
Solid particles suspended in a liquid, i.e. a more or less thick sludge or slurry. Normally, the solid particles deposit on the bottom if one allows the suspension to rest for a while in the vessel.
"concerning a system of organs" or "concerning the whole organism".
abbreviation for Transmission electron microscopy. A device to study smallest samples by shining electron beams through the object. To allow the electron beam to pass through the object, it has to be very thin.
Literal meaning "from top to bottom". Production process starting from large units and proceeding with comminution (for example, cutting or grinding).
refers to the hazardous potential of a substance. Hence, to develop adverse reactions in cells and living organisms, and to compromise functionality, which can lead to the death of an organism. It can be distinguished as direct and indirect toxicity. In the first case the toxicity of the substance is based on an interaction with the organism by directly intervening in metabolic processes or molecular structures. In contrast, a substance may also cause a change of physical factors in the environment (e.g. reduction of incidence of light on plants, blockage of molting in crustaceans). Often, indirect toxicity is also understood as an effect of substances emerging from a non-toxic substance, e.g. by degradation or alteration in the body.
from the Greek words τοξικός - toxicos "poisonous" and logos, study of the adverse effects of poison
From the Latin vesicula – small bubble . Round or oval compartments that are approximately 100 nm in diameter. Vesicles are located in the cells and are surrounded by separating layers (membranes).
also ζ-potential, is the electrical potential at the contact layer of a moving particle with an aqueous solution (suspension). Thus, within the same suspensions, it is a relative measure of the surface potential and thus the charge of the particle. For the measurement of the zeta potential, charged particles are moved through an applied electric field. The resulting speed is then a measure of the zeta potential.

Who pays for all this then? Visitors and members pay the lion's share of operating costs - from carrots to conservation! Donations allow your Zoo to create all the new feature exhibits! Naples Zoo must generate its own funding to care for the plants and animals, create new exhibits, and continue its conservation and education programs.
Thank You! Here are your benefits: In gratitude to the voters of Collier County, Naples Zoo offers citizens of Collier County benefits greater than many communities that annually spend millions to fund their zoos' operations. Naples Zoo (a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization) began offering two exciting new benefits for Collier County residents back on January 10th, 2005. Of course, Naples Zoo requires financial support to operate - by paid admissions, memberships, corporate sponsorship, grants, and donations. So please, come visit on the free days, and we hope you'll like what you see, agree with the critical need of our conservation and education mission, and join in financially supporting the continued operations of your local Zoo with a membership or donation so it will continue to be around for future generations to enjoy.
"Americans place great value on accredited zoos and aquariums.

In saving the land, the citizens of Collier County were richly rewarded.

OIC, basketball jones and all dat sheit
the first rule of Hate Club is Fuck You... ...yup, it's snowed here 7 times in the last 120 years
If you ever hit one with a car or motorcycle you'd want to kill them too.
When a young buck is close enough to play with the basketball you left in the backyard, the herd needs a lil thinning.
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
The OP is racist.
Not because of the basketball, but because of the "white people" comment. Lots of white people have never hunted. You really shouldn't generalize.
See, racism is a two way street.

Summer is just around the corner and there is no better place to be during the hot, humid months than sitting poolside. Just looking at the beautiful blue water will cool you off. There are several ways to create that perfect backyard "getaway" and allow you to lounge in style.
A place in the sun
Seating and other furniture is an absolute necessity for outdoor comfort and lounging. Options range from a simple chaise on the patio to a full set of outdoor furniture that includes a sofa, chairs, even outdoor lamps and rugs.
Indoor/outdoor fabrics make it possible to decorate your outdoor space as beautifully as you decorate your interior spaces. These fabrics are available in dozens of colors and patterns and are often stain and mold and mildew resistant. Let your personal style show through as you customize your outdoor "rooms" with lounge chair covers, umbrellas, toss pillows etc.
When do we eat?
Dining outdoors is one of life's little pleasures; not having to worry about breaking glass when outside is another. For total comfort stock your cabinets with these items.
• Tervis tumblers and other acrylic drinkware: Tervis tumblers are insulated, keeping your drink nice and cold, and can be personalized in many fun ways. Wouldn't Dad love a mug with his favorite sports team logo or his family nickname inscribed?
• The selection of outdoor dishes and flatware ranges from simple white that goes with everything to plates that actually mimic the look of Italian pottery. Polka dots, stripes and floral patterns are available to mix and match with solids in a rainbow of colors.
• Cup holders and can wrappers: These simple items will keep your canned drink cold and prevent that annoying little pool of water that forms under a cold drink.
Relaxation 101
Having everything you need at arm's length is the key to relaxation.
• Towels are an obvious necessity. Stack them poolside in an attractive waterproof container so they are available as soon as you step out of the pool. They can also be hung on a towel rack designed specifically for use outdoors.
• Furniture cushions and outdoor accessories can be stored in a poolside cabana, making them easily accessible when you do retreat to the backyard for a day of relaxation. The cabana also offers a great place to store swimwear and outdoor clothing and creates a spot for a quick, and private, change.
All that is left to do now is to pick your favorite book, grab a cold drink and head to the pool for a day of lounging in style.

These guys love you. So they've given you some lovely discount...
Not sure what to buy? Check out our discounts by category...
Discount codes, or voucher codes as they are also known, are codes that allow you to get discounts or free services from a wide variety of retailers when you shop online. Discount codes come in many different shapes and sizes with plenty of different functions ranging from free delivery to 10% off your basket value, the cash savings are endless and completely free.
The important thing to know about discount codes is that they will nearly always come with an expiry date. This means you have a limited period of time to use the code and get your discount as once the code expires it will no longer provide you with a saving at the retailers checkout. All discount codes featured on DiscountCoder.com will be displayed alongside an expiry date and once this date has passed the code will automatically be removed from the active discount codes list on that particular retailers page.
The second most important thing to remember when using a discount code is that you should check what the function of the code is. The code function is always displayed directly above the code in a clear, easy to understand manner. For example, if you were to look at our Argos discount codes page an example of a discount code you would typically see would be one with the funtion "15% off all beds" displayed. This one is nice and easy and obviously gives you 15% discount off the total price of any bed on the Argos.co.uk website. But how do you use your discount codes on the retailers sites? Keep reading below to find out....
Discount codes are really simple to use and can save you lots of money off your everyday purchases online, but how do you use them? Well, it's actually really easy.
Imagine you want to buy a bed from the Argos.co.uk website and you're on the Argos page on DiscountCoder.com with a voucher code in front of you that entitles you to 15% off any bed. All you need to do is click through on the relevant discount code button and copy the revealed code using the highlight, right-click and copy functions. That would also have triggered the Argos.co.uk beds section to open in a seperate browser window. Now, simply find the bed you want to buy on the Argos website, add it to the basket and head to the checkout. When you get to the checkout you will see a text box asking you to enter a discount code, voucher code, promotional code or coupon. Don't worry, they are all exactly the same thing, some retailers just use different names. To finish and get your discount, just go ahead and paste the code in to the box, press the button to apply the code and you'll notice the 15% discount will be automatically deducted off of the bed price. That's all there is to it.
Now you know what discount codes are and how to use them, so there is nothing stopping you from saving money on most if not all of your online purchases, and don't forget, DiscountCoder.com is 100% free to use and always will be. We will never charge you to save money, that would just defeat the object now wouldn't it. Happy saving!
Oh and one last thing. If you're still not sure on how to use a discount code, or completely clear on how this website works, take a look at our useful Help page and FAQ's which will have you up to speed in no time.
And if you still can't find what you're after, check down here...

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Ten to 15 RVs and a boat were damaged in a fire at a RV lot Friday morning.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is now investigating the fire as accidental.
11 News talked to investigators Friday afternoon. Right now they are not considering arson as a possible cause; they are not even calling the fire "suspicious". However, the investigation continues.
Initial reports to 11 News was the they were investigating the fire as possible arson, after the fire department spotted suspicious people hanging around the storage facility. The Sheriff's Office interviewed those people. No arrests have been made.
The fire started around 4 a.m. at Peak View Storage in the area of Paonia Street and Terminal Drive, which is east of Powers, in between Galley and Platte on the far eastern side of Colorado Springs.
The fire began in one RV and then spread. Firefighters were able to get in under control less than two hours after it was first reported.
Authorities on scene say some of the vehicles are a total loss, while others sustained moderate damage.

Bigelow Tea Earl Grey Green Tea -- 20 Tea Bags
Very nice tea.
Constant Comet Green is sooo refreshing and it is one of my favorites as is Constant Comet .
February 10, 2013
best I've found
Best tasting green Earl Grey I've found. Would much prefer an organic version, but for what it is, this tastes great.
November 29, 2012
Great - Hard to find
Love this tea - much better than the black tea version. No one seems to carry the earl grey green any more and was so happy to find that vitacost does. The price is also much lower than I paid at the supermarket.
July 8, 2011
Great Tea!
I have always loved Earl Grey Tea and was delighted when I found it in a Green Tea base. The company that use to have it in their line, stopped making it and I thought that was the end of that. I was over-joyed to find it again as a Bigelow Product. This is a great tasting tea and the price on Vitacost can't be beat.
May 7, 2010
earl grey with a twist
A pretty standard earl grey. The green tea gives it a good refreshing twist and makes something that is a bit ordinary better. Probably good for people who like earl grey, but want a little less caffeine.

Richard Donner directed this compassionate tale concerning the daily struggles of handicapped citizens. The film deals with the volatile relationship between Roary (John Savage), who has unsuccessfully tried to kill himself, and the hair-trigger Jerry (David Morse), a basketball player who has no money to pay for an operation to repair his knee. Roary, who has been permanently crippled after jumping off a building, travels an emotional route from being deeply disturbed and embittered to slowly regaining confidence in himself. Helping him along the road to emotional recovery is Louise (Diana Scarwid), a young woman dealing with the handicapped who, in the process, comes to terms with her own limitations. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

In this frantic black comedy, Harry Fishbine (Allen Garfield) is the proprietor of the F&B Ambulance Service, a low-budget free-lance rescue service which is struggling to keep up with the bigger and better funded competition after a law in Los Angeles decrees that the first ambulance to arrive at the scene of a distress call gets the job. F&B's best driver is Mother (Bill Cosby), a free-wheeling ambulance jockey who likes to drink beer and play dance music while he makes his rounds. Mother's new assistant is Speed (Harvey Keitel), a former cop who left the force after allegations of drug use; Speed is looking for a new career and a chance to prove himself. And Jugs is the accurate-if-sexist nickname for Jennifer (Raquel Welch), the company secretary who wants to get out from behind the desk and prove her skills as a paramedic. As F&B's drivers race through the streets of Hollywood, their adventures veer between the hilarious and the tragic. Mother, Jugs and Speed also features Larry Hagman, Dick Butkus, Bruce Davison, and L.Q. Jones. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Roger Moore makes his first appearance as "Bond...James Bond" in 1973's Live and Let Die. Bond is dispatched to the States to stem the activities of Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans to take over the Western Hemisphere by converting everyone into heroin addicts. The woman in the case is Solitaire (Jane Seymour in her movie debut), an enigmatic interpreter of tarot cards. The obligatory destructive-chase sequence occurs at the film's midpoint, with Bond being chased in a motorboat by Mr. Big's henchmen, slashing his way through the marshlands and smashing up a wedding party. Clifton James makes the first of several Bond appearances as redneck sheriff Pepper, while Geoffrey Holder is an enthusiastic secondary villain. The title song, written by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, provides the frosting on this 007 confection. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this horror sequel from the director of Count Yorga, Vampire, a member of an American voodoo cult revives the fanged Prince Manuwalde (William Marshall), only to become his slave. Manuwalde then puts the bite on various victims, but finds himself fixating on pretty Lisa (Pam Grier), a voodoo princess whom he believes can finally put his soul to rest. Lynne Moody, Nicholas Worth, and Bernie Hamilton are among the familiar cast, but the various occult trappings seem somewhat out of place in the modern Los Angeles setting and the production values are pretty shabby. Blaxploitation and camp fans should still find it mildly amusing, however, and Shakespearean actor Marshall is a lot of fun as the obsessive vampire. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Dreams die hard in wintry Atlantic City in Bob Rafelson's downbeat character drama. Depressive deejay David Staebler (Jack Nicholson) tends to his grandfather as he philosophizes on late-night Philadelphia talk radio. When his huckster older brother Jason (Bruce Dern) calls out of the blue one day, David travels to Atlantic City to see what his latest easy money scheme is. Along with his former beauty queen companion Sally (Ellen Burstyn) and her pretty stepdaughter Jessica (Julia Anne Robinson), Jason plans to open a resort on a small Hawaiian island, insisting to an initially skeptical David that the deal is as good as done. David plays along but, as he learns the reality of the situation, tries to talk some sense into Jason. Jason and his women will have none of it, leading to a tragic lesson about the cost of superficial values like beauty and wealth, and the limits of brotherly love. Rafelson's follow-up to his 1970 hit Five Easy Pieces once again questions American myths of success, with one brother unwilling to come to earth to realize his dreams and the other unable to do much beyond talk about his inertia to an unseen radio audience. With Five Easy Pieces star Nicholson as the introverted lead, and impressive cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs, The King of Marvin Gardens had the makings of another Hollywood New Wave hit. The response, however, was not what stumbling BBS Productions hoped, as Columbia barely supported the film and 1972 audiences were not as responsive to Rafelson's second exploration of contemporary alienation. The King of Marvin Gardens' artful depiction of disillusionment roots it firmly in the 1970s Hollywood art cinema, and its failure became one more sign of that cycle's popular limits. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

As Bobby shows her around his Upper West Side world, the two become inseparable. When Helen realizes that Bobby is a full-blown junkie, she joins him in addiction, and their downward spiral begins in earnest. Weathering overdoses, prostitution, betrayals, and a "panic" after a major bust, the pair manages to stick together, the habit sealing their fate. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Director Carl Reiner, most closely associated with the homey values of situation comedies, shocked, surprised, and (in some cases) delighted his admirers with the jet-black comedy Where's Poppa?. George Segal plays Gordon Hocheiser, a New York attorney whose love life is constantly being sabotaged by his senile mother (Ruth Gordon), who constantly asks the question of the title. (She doesn't realize Poppa is dead). Every time Gordon has a prospective bride or lover lined up, Mrs. Hocheiser gums up the works with her insane behavior. The attorney at last finds a kindred spirit in the beautiful caregiver Louise Callan (Trish VanDevere), who has likewise been a victim of someone else's eccentricities (her first husband used the conjugal bed as his own personal toilet). When Mrs. Hocheiser chases Louise away like she has all the others, Gordon begins entertaining notions of killing his mother. In desperation, Gordon begs his brother Sidney (Ron Leibman) to take his mother off his hands, which leads to several comic vignettes in deliriously bad taste. The film's incest-themed original ending (trimmed from the video version but still included in cable prints) finds Gordon climbing into bed with Mrs. Hocheiser, only to be greeted with a "
Poppa." The celebrated "tush scene," wherein Mrs. Hocheiser bites Gordon on his bare backside while Louise looks on in horror, packed a real wallop back in the early '70s, as did a courtroom scene involving a disgruntled hippie (Rob Reiner) and a psychotic U.S. general who graphically describes his homicidal acts against the Vietnamese. Though Carl Reiner would continue to "push the envelope" in his later films (Steve Martin as a "poor black child"? George Burns as God?) he would never again attempt anything as risky as Where's Poppa?. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jason Higgs (Sidney Poitier) is an angry black man who plans to rob a factory payroll. With the help of his accomplices Dennis (Al Freeman Jr.) and his white girlfriend Cathy (Joanna Shimkus), a racially motivated demonstration diverts attention from the crooks while they rob the safe. Jason is somewhat of a modern-day Robin Hood who wishes to use the money to help the children of incarcerated soul brothers. He only places his hope in the youth who have not been sullied or scalded by the hatred of racial prejudice. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
