Safety considerations when using flammable refrigerants
Alternative refrigerants
Several lower GWP refrigerants are already available in Australia such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. Each of these natural alternatives to HFCs have hazard characteristics that are different from those of the commonly used HFCs. Ammonia has high toxicity and medium flammability; carbon dioxide operates at a higher pressure when used as a refrigerant than fluorocarbons; and hydrocarbons are non toxic but are highly flammable.
Overseas and Australian experience demonstrates that each of the natural alternative refrigerants can be used safely and effectively. In considering the use of alternative refrigerant it is important that they be used in equipment that is fit for purpose and not used in equipment designed for a specific HFC where to do so could introduce safety hazards.
Safety with flammable refrigerants
Refrigeration engineers or technicians are a key source of advice to customers on equipment or refrigerants and will need to be mindful of obligations they may have to provide accurate advice on any safety issues and their implications, particularly if substitution of the original refrigerant by an alternative refrigerant is being contemplated. Customers may need to consider additional matters such as warranty or insurance implications. These aspects may be covered by national, state or territory consumer protection or other legislation.
Strict standards and procedures must be followed when using flammable refrigerants, including hydrocarbons. These vary between states and territories and the relevant authorities should always be consulted to ensure the legal requirements that apply to the use of hydrocarbons for refrigeration and air conditioning purposes are followed.
In some state and territories the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants to repair or service air conditioning systems may be forbidden without authorisation from the relevant authority.
Safety requirements under state and territory work health and safety legislation, which places obligations on importers, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, installers and others to ensure that the work health and safety risks are assessed and eliminated or mitigated, need to be considered when contemplating using or retrofitting hydrocarbon refrigerants.
Licensing requirements
The Commonwealth Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Regulations 1995 does not require arefrigerant handling licence for handling natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons. However, anyone handling fluorocarbon refrigerants (including halocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and HFCs) must hold an appropriate refrigerant handling licence.
Any individual (including a repairer or dismantler) who removes fluorocarbon refrigerant from any refrigeration or air conditioning system and wants to replace this gas with natural refrigerants, must hold, as a minimum, a Restricted Refrigerant Recoverers Transitional Licence, which can be obtained from the Australian Refrigeration Council at www.arctick.org.
Individuals who handle fluorocarbon refrigerants without a licence are committing an offence.
Checklist for installing and maintaining equipment
Before using an alternative natural refrigerant, particularly if replacing the fluorocarbon refrigerant with an alternative refrigerant is being contemplated, a number of factors need to be taken into consideration. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Do you have appropriate training, skills and license to install and maintain the equipment?
- Is the equipment for use only for a specific HFC whereby substituting with an alternative gas could introduce safety hazards?
- Are you certain of the type of refrigerant gas currently in the equipment, has this been labelled and has it been checked prior to servicing? Do not assume that the refrigerant in the equipment to be serviced is non-flammable. Always check the identity of the refrigerant in the equipment, using a safe method that does not pose an ignition hazard, before beginning work on the equipment.
- Can you legally use an alternative refrigerant (such as hydrocarbon which is flammable) for the particular purpose in your state or territory? Are you aware of the current regulatory controls and standards, codes of practice and other relevant guidance?
- If you can legally use an alternative refrigerant (such as hydrocarbon) for the purpose, have you conducted a comprehensive risk assessment to determine if it is safe to use an alternative refrigerant that is flammable or toxic or operates at high pressure in the particular circumstances?
- Has the unit's manufacturer and the refrigerant supplier approved the use of a flammable, toxic or high pressure refrigerant in the system?
- If a retrofit is to be undertaken, how can you assess the safety and suitability for purpose?
- Has the equipment manufacturer given approval for retrofitting the equipment using an alternative refrigerant?
- Has the owner or user of the refrigeration or air conditioning equipment been advised that a flammable, toxic or high pressure alternative refrigerant is proposed to be used, been made aware of the risks involved and given written approval to its installation?
- Have all applicable standards, codes of practice and other relevant guidance been taken into account (e.g. AS/NZS 1677.2 1998. Refrigerating systems Part 2: Safety requirements for fixed installations)?
- Is the quantity of refrigerant (charge size) appropriate for the the occupancy category and the room size to ensure that a sudden loss of refrigerant does not raise the mean concentration of the refrigerant above 20 per cent of the lower flammability limit?
- Is there adequate ventilation?
- Is there a potential source of ignition? Are all electrical contacts sealed or non-sparking? What is the Lower Explosive Limit of the proposed refrigerant?
- Is a suitable (non-ignition source) leak detection system installed?
- Is there appropriate and permanent labelling applied to all vessels, cylinders and refrigeration systems indicating that a flammable refrigerant has been used?
Checklist for consumers having equipment installed and maintained
Consumers considering the use of alternative refrigerants may wish to consider the following:
- Does the technician have the appropriate training, skills and licensing to install and maintain the equipment? The Australian Refrigerant Council provides a full list of licensed technicians at www.lookforthetick.com.au.
- Have the technicians explained what work they are doing and why and outlined any risks associated with the work they are doing?
- If a flammable refrigerant is proposed to be used, have you been made aware of the risks involved and have you given written approval to proceed with the installation?
- Replacement of synthetic greenhouse gases in equipment with an alternative refrigerant may void the equipment warranty or have insurance implications. Ask the technician and check with the equipment manufacturer and your insurer.

FDA: Post consumer warnings where we can see them!
Every day, every person in this country faces potentially lethal food products. You and your loved ones are at risk every time you bring home groceries!
Have you heard of the FDA Reportable Food Registry that lists products that have a "reasonable probability of causing serious adverse effects"? I had never even heard of it - and it cost my dog his life. Will my children, spouse, parents or friends be the next victims?
Bella, Cali, Ginger, Heidi, Sampson, Sarge, Shelbie… These are just a few of the over 3,500 dogs reported to have been sickened or killed by chicken jerky dog treats – with untold thousands unreported. How could this happen – and still be happening? The answer: The warnings about this danger are ONLY available on the FDA website.
My name is Ray Parker, and my beloved companion Sarge was a victim. Days after eating one of these treats, days of suffering, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go. I had no idea that there was (and still is) a major ongoing investigation by the FDA - there was no warning on the package nor was there any warning posted on the shelf where they were displayed. Searching for answers, I went to my computer. I learned -- too late – that the FDA has been investigating jerky treats for years!
The danger doesn't stop at pet treats. Prescription drugs, baby formula, black licorice and pet treats are just some of items that are currently under FDA Advisory. The only way to find these warnings is to search on-line. The average consumer doesn't compare their grocery list to the FDA website, nor should they be expected to do so. And if you don't have internet access, how are you supposed to learn what products might be putting your family at risk?
The FDA has always claimed their hands are tied when it comes to warning consumers about reported products at the point of sale, but this is no longer true. In 2011, Congress finally enacted - and President Obama signed into law - the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) which explicitly gives the FDA this authority.
With just a simple piece of paper posted on store shelves, millions of American families can be spared the consequences of purchasing potentially dangerous products. There are so many loopholes that allow hazards to reach our homes and families. This is our last line of defense!
I believe that the FDA has the responsibility to inform consumers of possible risks and we have the RIGHT to make informed decisions. A trip to the grocery store should not be deadly! If you agree, please join us in signing this petition demanding that the FDA and your representatives:
• IMPLEMENT FSMA SECTION 211 requiring warnings to be prominently displayed in stores.
• AMEND FSMA SECTION 211 to include all retailers, not just major chains.
• SPECIFY THAT WRITTEN WARNINGS must be displayed with the affected product, not just at the cash register.
(If you have been a victim of the FDA's warning system, please share your story in the comments. To learn more about our group, the link between jerky pet treats and illnesses, or the Food Safety Modernization Act, see the links under "News" at the bottom of the petition page.)
S. Raymond Parker
Co-Administrator of 'Animal Parents Against Pet Treats Made in China!'
Consumers must be able to trust that a product sold in our stores is not going to be dangerous, or even deadly. We have the right to know AT THE POINT OF SALE if a product has a "reasonable probability of causing serious adverse effects", and has been listed on the Reportable Food Registry. As an American, I feel betrayed to know that the FDA posts numerous advisories, warnings and cautions on their website for products that are linked to illness and even death, but these are not made available to the general public in any other accessible way.
We should not have to compare our shopping list to the FDA website! That is not enough to alert us to the risks we might be taking! So many, especially the elderly, do not have internet access. How will they learn of the risks of these products?
Because of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-353), the FDA now has important new authorities and tools to keep us safe. Section 211 of the FSMA gives the FDA the explicit power to require postings for consumers at the point of sale (POS):
"If a grocery store sold a reportable food that is the subject of the posting and such establishment is part of chain of establishments with 15 or more physical locations, then such establishment shall, not later than 24 hours after a one page summary described in subsection (g) is published, prominently display such summary or the information".
With just a simple piece of paper posted at the point of purchase, millions of American families can be spared the consequences of purchasing tainted products.
I am imploring you to act immediately to:
• IMPLEMENT FSMA SECTION 211 requiring warnings to be prominently displayed in stores.
• AMEND FSMA SECTION 211 to include all retailers, not just major chains.
• SPECIFY THAT WRITTEN WARNINGS must be displayed with the affected product, not just at the cash register
I believe that the FDA has the responsibility to inform consumers – and we have the RIGHT to be informed. This final step gives us the information we need to know to make our own educated purchase decisions – it is our last line of defense. Help us to keep our families safe.

LBA Community AutoProgram
Glossary of Terms
Adjusted Capitalized Cost
The Adjusted Capitalized Cost is the net dollar amount that is amortized over the term of the lease, derived by subtracting the capitalized cost reduction from the capitalized cost.
Advertising Fee
An Advertising Fee is the amount charged to the dealer by the manufacturer for local, regional and national advertising, which may differ by vehicle model and geographical region.
Base Price
The Base Price is the price of a vehicle which includes standard equipment, factory warranty, freight, and advertising and destination charges, but excludes options or equipment packages installed at the factory.
Capitalized Cost
Capitalized Cost is the total value of the vehicle used for calculating the lease payment, which is similar to the selling price of a vehicle on a purchase transaction.
Capitalized Cost Reduction
The Capitalized Cost Reduction is the amount paid which reduces the monthly lease payment which is part of the drive-off fees assessed at lease inception. Cash, net trade-in value and rebates may be utilized. The Adjusted Capitalized Cost is the result of subtracting the Capitalized Cost Reduction from the Capitalized Cost.
Customer Service Index
Also referred to as a Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), a Customer Service Index is a rating system utilized by auto manufacturers based upon the overall consumer purchasing or service experience at the dealership and varies among manufacturers.
Depreciation (Lease)
Vehicle Depreciation is the dollar amount of vehicle value lost during the term of a lease. It is derived from subtracting the Residual Value, the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the lease, from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
Destination Charge
The Destination Charge is the fee the manufacturer charges the dealership for shipping, freight and delivery of a vehicle from the factory to the dealership, or port of entry.
Down Payment (Purchase)
The Down Payment is the initial dollar amount paid on a vehicle in order to reduce the total amount financed.
Equipment Package
An Equipment Package is a combination of factory-installed optional accessory equipment that enhances vehicle performance, appearance or value offered by the manufacturer at a lower total cost than if ordered and installed separately. Such packages can be designed for a particular function, i.e. 'Climate Package', geographical region, e.g. 'California Package', or a demographic or lifestyle, e.g. 'Sport Package'.
Excess Mileage (Lease)
Excess mileage is an additional fee charged to the lessee at lease termination by the lessor for mileage that exceeds the original agreed-upon amount at lease inception. Typically the mileage allowance for a 36 month lease is 12,000 or 15,000 miles per year, but may vary from lessor to lessor.
Exclusive Authorized Dealer Contact
The Exclusive Authorized Dealer Contact is the only dealer representative who can provide LBA members their special, low member-only price on the vehicle of their choosing.
Finance Charge
The Finance Charge is the total dollar amount of interest a lender charges the consumer for the loan term.
Financing is a specific individual loan plan provided by a lender to a consumer whish takes into consideration the consumer's credit worthiness, or rating, down payment, loan term and interest rate.
Interest Rate
The Interest Rate is the cost of credit, annualized, and expressed in terms of percentage, charged to a consumer for a loan.
Also Referred to as 'Invoice Price', because it is the one price that appears on each vehicle's invoice the manufacturer sends the dealer representing the vehicle's base pricing, factory-installed options with pricing, and destination fees, but which do not reflect the actual cost of the vehicle to the dealer. A dealer's actual cost can vary due to such factors as holdback, factory-to-dealer incentives, and advertising and/or flooring costs.
Leasing, an alternative to purchasing, is simply a means of paying for the use of a vehicle, and mileage, for a specific agreed-upon length of time.
Loan Payments
Loan Payments are installments paid by the consumer to the lender, usually on a monthly basis, for a specific agreed-upon term and interest rate.
Member-Only Price
The Member-Only Price is the pre-arranged price of a vehicle that LBA AutoProgram dealers have agreed to provide to LBA members and affiliates. This price may be in relation to the vehicle's total invoice or MSRP. Members may, upon meeting with the Exclusive Authorized Dealer Contact, request to see the vehicle's invoice or MSRP to calculate and/or verify their special, low member-only price.
Money Factor
Established by the lessor, the so-called Money Factor is essentially the leasing equivalent of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) in a purchase loan, usually expressed in decimal form, e.g. 0.00325.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, or MSRP, is the factory's recommended selling price for a vehicle including standard equipment, and factory-installed options and accessories.
Options are available additional vehicle equipment or features not included in the base model that may be installed at the factory or by the dealer at additional cost.
Residual Value
Frequently specified as a percentage of the MSRP, the Residual Value is the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of a lease, established by the lessor and based, in part, on the lease term and projected resale value for a specific vehicle model. Closed-end leases allow the consumer the option of purchasing the vehicle at the end of the lease at the Residual Value.
Roadside Assistance
Roadside Assistance is the industry term for emergency auto services offered to consumers in the event of vehicle breakdown, which are generally included in factory and extended factory warranties, and include: towing, fuel delivery, locksmith, battery and tire services, and minor mechanical adjustments.
Term is the length of an auto loan or lease agreement, expressed in months.
Trade-In Value
The Trade-In Value is the dollar amount a dealership agrees to offer a consumer for their vehicle when used as a partial or full payment for another vehicle from the dealer.
A Warranty is a written agreement by the manufacturer providing for repair or replacement of specific vehicle components due to factory defect or malfunction for a specified period of time and/or mileage.
Wear and Tear
Wear and Tear is the industry term for the normal wearing that a vehicle can be expected to undergo under normal use for the duration of the lease. While varying from lessor to lessor, there are established limits in excess for which consumers will be charged when turning in the vehicle at the end of the lease.

Santa Maria Urban Ministry
Preparation of Intake Logs
New intake registration
sheets (USDA and non-USDA) should be used at
the start of each calendar day. Please
do not mix multiple days on one sheet; this
creates confusion and makes recording
accurate Client numbers difficult.
At the
Close of Each Day
After closing the front door and removing
the sign in sheet (if a client registers for
service on the sign in sheet we MUST serve
that client), review both the USDA and
Non-USDA distribution sheets. Make sure that
all the information on each sheet is
complete. The process for registering
clients is very important because it
influences our reporting to the Second
Harvest Food Bank (SHFB) and the Board of
Occasionally, you may need to use the Client
Database in order to complete each sheet
(However, it is best to record the
information as each client is processed).
Once all the information is recorded on the
sheet, total each sheet in the following
a.) The number of households served (Count
one for each Client ID recorded).
b.) The number of individuals served.
This is a total of adults and children.
c.) The number of children served (this
information is for the benefit of SMUM and
is not needed for the Food Bank).
d.) The number of homeless served, as
indicated by the marking of an "(8)" on the
intake sheet.
1) In the "F=" count, count only
families that have two
or more
individuals. In other words, if a
individual is
served, the individual is not counted
as a family in the
family count.
2) In the "I=" count, count the total number
of adults
and children
served, including single individuals.
e.) The number of emergency boxes issued, as
indicated by the marking of a red star on
the intake sheet. Use the same rules
for counting families and individuals as are
used for counting the number of homeless
The information from the USDA form will be
sent to the Food Bank for their USDA
reports/records. Please total the numbers
for all the sheets with the same date and
record the grand total on the final sheet
for that particular day. Accomplishing this
procedure will be of great help in
maintaining accurate clear "daily records"
which will be requested from time-to-time
from the Food Bank. Further, your assistance
with totaling daily figures for clients
served will assist our own counters/record
keepers here at SMUM. We are responsible for
providing daily totals, monthly totals and
quarterly totals as an USDA food distributor
(through Second Harvest Food Bank). Your
help in providing daily totals will simplify
this important process of record
maintenance. Thank you for your help.

Grace Place newest member of Barbara Bush Foundation's network
Citing statistics that 2.2 million Florida adults have less than a high school diploma, the Barbara Bush Foundation recently welcomed Grace Place for Children and Families to its partner network.
According to Liza McFadden, president of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, Grace Place's mission of teaching language, literacy and life skills to children and families at risk is in perfect step with the Foundation's mission.
"We are proud to welcome Grace Place into our network of impressive programs that are committed to improving the lives of families in their local communities," she said. "Imagine an America where everyone person has a chance to learn to read, whether they are 4 or 44. By supporting programs that offer adult literacy, early childhood classrooms and parenting life skills, we empower families and build stronger communities."
As a way to further spotlight the national literacy crisis, Jeb Bush unveiled the Foundation's new Family Literacy Gap Map, which captures data from each state to highlight critical need areas and will serve as a tool for education leaders, community leaders and policymakers to make better informed funding and educational program decisions.
As to the 2.2 million Florida adults with less than a high school diploma, Jeb Bush called the statistics "unacceptable."
"Moms and dads and children must be fundamentally literate to compete and succeed in today's world, so what we are doing for the first time is amassing both adult and childhood literacy information in one place," he said. "Our hope is that it will better identify the literacy needs in each state and help determine the best opportunities to help families learn. We must transform the way America deals with illiteracy and invest in our future."
In Collier County, Grace Place serves the Golden Gate community through a variety of educational services to more than 800 students, ages birth to adult.
Studies show that brain development in the birth to 3-year-old timeframe is critical to life-long academic outcomes and through its Bright Beginnings program, Grace Place teaches mothers how to prepare their preschoolers for kindergarten.
Grace Place also offers school age programs for elementary, middle and high school students providing mentoring, homework help, career exploration and post high school education assistance. Adult English and financial literacy classes give parents a hand up in achieving better employment, providing for their families' needs and becoming contributing members of the community.
"Grace Place is thrilled to partner with the Barbara Bush Foundation," said Grace Place founder and executive director Stephanie Munz Campbell. "This partnership will enable Grace Place to expand and improve the effectiveness of our programs as we collaborate with the network of outstanding Bush Family Literacy Academies."
With waiting lists for every program, Grace Place will soon launch the second phase of its $4 million dollar Capital Expansion Campaign to build an additional 14,000 square feet of classroom and program space.
Founded in 2004, Grace Place is a faith-based, nonprofit neighborhood center teaching literacy, language and life skills to at-risk children and families in Golden Gate city.

The United States Senate's committee on health, education, labor and pensions has unanimously approved Orrin Hatch's health centers renewal bill.
The bipartisan legislation reauthorizes the federal health centers program, which grants access to affordable health care via community health centers to low-income and underserved patients. The bill has 49 co-sponsors.
"With the HELP committee's approval and the overwhelming support from so many of my colleagues - fully half the Senate - I am confident that this bill will pass," said Hatch. "I have long said that community health centers are the safety net for more than 15 million underserved Americans and I am gratified that so many of my colleagues agree."
Established 40 years ago, the program placed community health centers in medically underserved areas to provide care to people with limited or no access to insurance. Senate Bill 3771 would reauthorize the program for two years.
"These centers are worth every cent that the federal government invests in them," added Hatch. "They save lives. They provide preventive health care that keeps people out of hospitals. By reauthorizing this program, we will allow health centers to provide low-cost health care to many more uninsured and under insured individuals."
In 2005, Utah's 24 community health centers served more than 85,000 patients and provided almost 305,000 visits. Of the Utah patients, 96 percent lived below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Congress has increased funding accordingly since 2001 to provide service to four million additional patients and has added new or expanded facilities in more than 750 communities nationwide.
In Carbon and Emery counties, three health centers may be able to benefit from the renewal. The centers include the Carbon Medical Service Association in East Carbon, the Helper Clinic and the Green River Medical Center.
"We are so appreciative of Senator Hatch's leadership in obtaining reauthorization of the health center program," said Bette Vierra, executive director of the Association for Utah Community Health. "Care received at health centers ranks among the most cost-effective and reauthorization assures continued access to quality, affordable health care to more than 85,000 Utahns."
S-3771 is ready to be considered by the full U.S. Senate.

This successful program uses personal contacts and grassroots networks to spread information about HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, as well as promoting family health and women's empowerment.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
In rural Uganda, women (especially AIDS widows) face sexual exploitation, polygamy, extreme poverty, poor medical care, destruction of families by HIV/AIDS and war. Working with women, we develop stronger families and healthier children who stay in school. We have reached deep into rural areas, training women and men and the network is growing.
How will this project solve this problem?
Workshops are ongoing, with 35 women each. Participants, who have attended previous introductory workshops, will set up and run their own workshops throughout Uganda, including IDP camps of the North. We teach women to work with their local leaders.
Potential Long Term Impact
The network of peer educators continues to grow. Benefits include accurate AIDS information, longer survival for HIV+ people, stable families, children (especially girls) staying in school and delaying sexual activity to build their futures.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $4,655
Funding Information
This project is now in implementation and no longer available for funding. Received funds will be used to accomplish concrete objectives as indicated in the project's "Activities" section. Updates will be posted under the "Project Report" tab as they become available.

Skin Food Byulsatang Eye Color Review & Swatches
Skin Food Byulsatang Eye Color was introduced last Spring in Korea I believe. I remember hauling a few shades and gifting them to friends but never actually reviewing the one shade I decided to keep.
There's a reason for that…!
Skin Food Byulsatang Eye Color is available in eight color variations for around six or seven dollars each I believe, don't quote me there though as I had a friend purchase them for me quite sometime ago.
Byulsatang Eye Color kinda slipped rather quickly off my radar because the formula just wasn't what I expected from Skin Food. Recently a reader asked if I ever tried them and if so could I possibly review them thus this post was born.
These come in a small little plastic tub and can be used as a liner or a shadow. The reason they fell so quickly to the beauty wasteland is because the formula is terribly dense. Honestly, they feel like an old eyeshadow, years old…! The texture is very hard and picking up color is very challenging….they also blend really bad because of this. I find digging a finger into them does warm them up VERY slightly but still not enough for ease of application.
The shade Apricot Cream is one I kept for myself and has stayed in my stash since I think it's a rather perfect golden peach. However, I'd be less likely to keep it if it wasn't for that pretty color as the formula itself is rubbish.
Overall, I was a bit surprised. Skin Food typically has decent makeup offerings but they were very disappointing. It just seems like an eyeshadow that was left laying around for years…!
No likey!
Don't buy if you've been considering a purchase on E-bay or other online shops.
Tried 'em?
Do share!

This product was purchased
by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
10/26/12 17:34 Audrey:
The color actually looks really soft and romantic on you! Sucks that the formula is so blech. Fun fact: "Byulsatang" actually means "Star Candy." (I'm Korean.) In that sense, the color IS kinda candy-ish, in a fun way.
10/26/12 19:55 Tiffany Martin:
It so cute though!!!
10/27/12 7:55 Kiss & Make-up:
O_o I don't get the formule. It's just weird.
10/27/12 10:56 HapaGirl:
Looks cute on you, but yeah, I can see the formula is definitely chalky – so it can't be comfortable to apply or wear. Skinfood is usually good quality, so that's surprising. Oh well, live and learn!
Quick question for ya, Muse: Have you ever tried the KATE mineral gel BB cream? I'm trying to rustle up some reviews but I can't find any. Thanks dear!
10/27/12 11:04 Eclairette:
Hey! Long time lurker here.
Your Byulsatang looks like it really dried out already. I haven't bought one myself but I have swatched it before when I visited a skinfood store. It's supposed to be thick and creamy.
I just found your blog and I love it! Thanks for all the lovely reviews you do!
10/29/12 3:07 Natalia:
OH!! Thanks a lot for the heads up about the book! 😀

Behind the Scenes: Creating a Yoga Festival.
elephant journal is proud to serve as media sponsor of the Hanuman Festival. Enjoy their weekly column:
From conception to implementation, creating a yoga festival must be backed by intense devotion.
People often ask, "Why would you put yourself through all the stress and intensity, all the long hours and worries?" Well: seeing an idea come into fruition is one of the greatest gifts, and when everything falls into place beautifully, you know that you are aligned with the universe.
Hanuman Festival is based upon bringing together community and sharing the depths of yoga with all, not just one "scene." The power that community has to stand behind a cause and create positive change has also been a fundamental motivating force for this festival. These elements have allowed Hanuman Festival to start its long journey towards becoming a high-vibration event in the national yoga community.
We are blessed to be in the Front Range of Colorado. The yoga communities in Boulder, Denver and throughout Colorado is one of the strongest and mutually supportive in the U.S. The high concentration of conscious commerce in the state has brought together alliances and partnerships with top-level companies like Gaiam, Be Present, White Swan Records, [cough: and elephantjournal.com & Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis ~ ed.], and others. Start here and we have the makings of a beautiful event.
Then…all the work begins.
Months of planning, roadblocks, breakthroughs, re-dos. The level of detail is mind blowing and wouldn't fit into one article. In a nutshell: sites are located and production company is secured. Instructors are gathered from the national community. The website is launched. Partners, sponsors and vendors sign on. Support from the festival host community grows. National awareness develops. People start buying tickets. It is a force that has built up energy through the support of all involved. A good friend and one of the Hanuman instructors says, "The fun is in the fear!" We wouldn't change anything. Not even the hiccups.
Do things slip through the cracks? Sure. Can fear creep in? Of course! Are there things we are learning that will not happen next year? You bet! This is when we stop and remember that Grace exists in both the light and the dark moments. The support and love of friends and community make every moment worth it. We also make it a point to step on the mat, breathe deeply and take it one asana at a time.

Gregory Crewdson Hardcover Book
Unfortunately, this item will not be back in stock.
"I respond to the chaos and all this stuff, and I always feel like I'm at the centre of the swarm," says famed American photographer Gregory Crewdson of his artistic process. Rizzoli's definitive book of the artist comprehensively portrays his innovative and cinematographic working style. Employing large teams, he constructs impressive technical sets, both on sound stages and on location, that act as vignettes about life in small-town America. With an introduction by Ms Nancy Spector and a series of short narratives by Mr Jonathan Lethem, this hard-bound tome remarkably captures nearly three decades worth of iconic works and a game-changing point of view.

" Author: Guardian Cycle / Genre: Sci-Fi / Fantasy "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This book was a complete change from the books that I have been reading recently because it was a pure fantasy novel with unique and fascinating locale. I managed to track down a copy on eBay for a bargain price brand new (the RRP being £7.99). The illustration of the book and blurb on the back gained my attention and I looked forward to entering the land of The Dark Moon!
Terrel was the unwelcome second twin boy, born with unsightly deformities, to the Empress Adina. Immediately hidden away from public knowledge and banished to an asylum where he became institutionalised and prevented from ever seeing beyond the establishment walls. The night that he and his twin brother, Jax were born was a special occasion which predicted the arrival of a '''Guardian''' who would one day play an important part in saving the Floating Island on which the Empire is built. Terrel would endure a life that was filled with pain and suffering whilst his brother was nurtured and primed for the role of '''Guardian''' when the time came. There is an epic journey that Terrel must undertake - this proves to be dangerous and the cause of yet more suffering for Terrel, he does have the support of an exceptional friend in Alyssa who became a 'special' friend whilst at the asylum and like Terrel has unusual talents. There are many obstacles to overcome and much learning to be done before Terrel and Jax meet their challenge and both develop their character, ethics and morals in entirely different ways - one much more privileged than the other. But who is the '''Guardian'''? there can only be one and what will he be expected to do to save the Floating Island?
Initially it was very easy for me to like and sympathise with Terrel because of the poignant way that the prose describes how he was rejected by his mother - as she looked at him in horror because of his deformed body. I was immediately drawn into the story as it made me feel so sorry for the newborn boy who was carted off to a distant mental asylum where he would spend his childhood years - actually it was expected that he would not survive! Following a concise prologue the book moves forward in time to the teenage years of Terrel and I very much enjoyed getting to know this young boy. I gained respect for his tenacity and very much liked his personality and his values. It was obvious that even though this young abandoned boy was living in the most appalling conditions and enduring a great deal of suffering, both physically and mentally - he had developed into a compassionate and kind person.
In the first part of the book (which has three parts in total) Terrel is fully accustomed to avoiding eye contact with anyone so that they are not repulsed or afraid of him, his eyes are different from any that they have seen. The author portrays succinctly a common human reaction to look at someone and judge them without trying to see past what is on the outside and discover what is actually on the inside - it was really quite thought provoking throughout and gave me insight into how it must feel to have to live life with people avoiding being in your company. Not everyone treats Terrel in this unkind way, he has a strong bond with a quirky young girl called Alyssa - she accepts Terrel for who he actually is and connects with all that is good within this young man. The way that the relationship between these two characters develops is beautifully done - understated yet obvious. Another character named Elam who is a younger boy develops a friendship and connection with Terrel and Alyssa and will have a part to play throughout the book in a different form.
The book continues with a journey in Part Two and initially I expected the expedition to focus on Terrel's adventure to reach the place that would determine the fate of the Floating Island. This was not the case, Terrel has a passage of learning in his inner world which is just as traumatic and challenging as his physical strains. I was delighted with this dimension of the story because the character of Terrel became more accessible to me, I had more of an insight into his morals/ethics and his character developed more depth at this time. I was also intrigued by the strange dreams that he had - they were like a puzzle of messages or experiences of past or maybe future - this fascinated me and held my interest as the prose progressed . I liked the inclusion of unusual allies/mentors that would help to guide Terrel on his way. The journey was never going to be straight forward and included the guidance of a code and some astronomical calculations - this I found extremely interesting and the description concerning this subject was wonderfully detailed. Especially absorbing was the way that the Empire and surrounding townships where completely ruled by the cycle of the moons - more than one! I could imagine in times gone by how hysteria could develop quickly dependent on the effects of the moon.
On occasions the story will shift back to Terrel's birth place and privileged home of his brother Jax. Jax does not really endear himself to anyone let alone the reader, he appears to be either apathetic or entirely consumed in his dreams, he knows that he has special qualities like Terrel. A part of me wondered if Jax would prove to have hidden gentler qualities - I waited with anticipation. There are a number of Seers who are introduced and I felt like I got a good idea of what their individual traits were - without needing to know too much more - I liked that as the story was gathering pace and I was able to follow the story clearly and enjoy what came next.
The final part of the book did not disappoint in any way - this story had been crafted meticulously and everything started to slot into place. The descriptive text built up a landscape and communities that I could easily imagine and this made the book all the more captivating for me. The tale up to now had flowed fluidly - now I felt my reading speed up as the excitement of the outcome neared. I found it difficult to put the book down. I had decided that there could be three possible outcomes, three feasible answers to the dilemma which the Guardian must face - and none of them were right!!! I like an author who keeps you guessing right up until the end and Julia Gray achieved it.
The conclusion to the task of the Guardian (whomever that may be Terrel or Jax? Or maybe both? I am not saying) was very satisfying. Both brothers can be seen for who they are, you get a real discernment of their nature. I resonated with Terrel's philosophy and I felt warmed by his actions, decisions and altruism.
Of course this book is the first of The Guardian Cycle and like all good books it ends as the next book will begin. It has left me wanting more - I will be following Terrel and Jax and witnessing their challenges in the next book.
A new experience for me reading this genre. Did I like it and would I read it again? Yes and yes. From the first couple of pages I was drawn into the fantasy world that is ruled by the moons - I was fascinated by the astronomy, code and prophecy of the Guardian. The style of writing was easy to read and flowed beautifully with immaculate and creative description of the locale - if I would have closed my eyes I could easily have imagined the places that are depicted here. The main character, Terrel, developed nicely as the book progressed and the qualities that oozed from this boy warmed my heart. I found that all the characters were developed adequately and closer supporting characters endeared themselves to me, Alyssa inparticular. I liked the themes that were incorporated within the prose which included courage, romance, hatred, compassion, suffering and pain. The sections of the book (three in total) fit the story well and I found the chapters a nice length and not too long. This book was thought provoking throughout and addressed issues sensitively - I found parts of the story quite emotive and spent some time philosophising about it after reading a chapter. The composition picks up a nice pace as it nears the end and I could not wait to find out what was going to happen. I was satisfied with the conclusion to this first part of the Guardian Cycle and I will definitely be reading book two to find out more.

This review will also be published on CIAO under my username.
First off I am a huge fan of fantasy and science fiction novels and when I was browsing the sections in the bookstore and my eyes lay upon these books, I knew I had to read them. The Guardian Cycle consists of five novels, each with their own various stories and plots but all of them containing the main characters. The author of these books is Julia Gray who had previously wrote two other novels, Isle of the Dead and Ice Mage, both of which I have not read.
The birth of an Emperor's son has been prophesied for centuries and this child would be the guardian to the floating islands of Vandanis who would save them from a catastrophe so great it would destroy everything and everyone. But what wasn't foreseen was the birth of twins on that fateful night. The first is Jax who is raised in the palace as prince and groomed to become the future leader. His twin is Terrel who is born handicapped. On seeing her deformed child the Empress is horrified and orders for Terrel to be sent away to live in a mental asylum where his life will be filled with pain and grief.
Terrel lives his life unknowing of who he really is and what family he belongs to. He appreciates the time that he spends with his two best friends Elam and Alyssa until one horrid day that will change Terrels life and the world forever.
Both twins have talents that are unknown at first but soon become quite apparent to all. When the ancient prophecy begins to come to pass it become clear that the identity of the guardian has to be known, but is it either one of the twins?
This is the first novel in the spellbinding series of the guardian cycle. It follows Terrel and his perilous journey into the unknown where he will face prejudice and hardships but at times joy and friendship.
I was absorbed into the world of Vandanis as soon as I read the first few eventful pages. This book has all the ingredients for a masterpiece with adventure, drama, romance, humour, mystery and just good fun. Her writing style is extremely descriptive and not that much dialogue is presented in the novel. This might tire out some people who can't stand to read pages and pages of description. You might enjoy it but it's entirely on what you prefer. However I find that by doing this she presents a world to us that is so vivid we could actually imagine it in our minds. Everything is so clear and detailed that nothing is missed out and the reader is not left annoyed or flummoxed.
In terms of the plot and story this book is very intriguing. Lots of questions arise in this book and it made me extremely eager to find out what is going to happen. I found the Dark Moon quite original although it really is a basic boy saves world story but I love how she blended a story of growing up and maturity into the plot. I liked the ending to this book but a friend of mine who has also read it told me she found it rather confusing. She also felt rather unfulfilled and was left annoyed by the ending. I have heard similar annoyances by other people so either they just dont like fantasy or the book really isnt as good as I think it is.
The characters in this book are fascinating and I found it exciting to learn all about them and the relationships between them all. During this novel all of the characters developed emotionally and I loved how each relationship changes.
Terrel is born very unfortunate and you instantly fall in love with his caring and healing nature. He is just a teenager when he ventures out into the big world and is met with hostility and hate. However his character just doesnt seem to have the same charm as the others and this can become quite tiresome as he is the main focus of the book. This is probably a big flaw in the novels and one of the reasons I didnt like this book as much as I could have.
Jax is completely opposite to Terrel in every single way and you either hate or love him. Me I liked the bad boy. He is selfish, cruel and slightly psychotic. The prince is given everything he could possibly want and his idea of fun is to annoy Terrel whenever he gets the opportunity.
Alyssa has the innocence of a child yet the maturity of an adult and I felt like I could be her and found myself identifying with her ideals and emotions. She is one of Terrels best friends at the asylum and provides him with emotional support.
These are the three main characters in all of the books however Terrel does encounter many friends and foes in each book that are all incredibly detailed and intricate characters. Elam is one of Terrels friends who gives him support in any way throughout the novel. Terrel also has friends who are ghosts and give him information on the prophecies that seem to rule Terrels life.
My Overall Opinion
Her description overload may become unbearable for some and the problem of Terrel as a main character is a massive flaw in these novels. I thought its ending was good but in others opinions it isnt so I guess that is all to do with your personal opinion.
Now I will briefly mention the entire series in order to get my point across. If you are one of those people that if you read one book in a series then you have to read the rest, I seriously do not recommend this for you. This book is fine on its own and provides a good read, however the entire series is another story. I found each book after this one becoming repetitive and boring. The endings in specific are pretty much the same for every book. The only other book in this series which I thought was as original and on par with Dark Moon is the last novel of the series. Heed my warning as I was only able to read these books by having about a years gap in between.
This book is a must buy for all who love a good science fiction and fantasy novel. If you like such authors such as Terry Goodkind, Terry Pratchett, Michelle West and Elizabeth Moon then I recommend this book to you.

The birth of the Emperor's son had been prophesied many years before. The child would be the Guardian; saviour of his people. What had not been foreseen was the fact that there would be two imperial children born that night. Second-born Terrell is banished and grows up unaware of his birthright.

With just three days until the Russell Athletic Bowl, players from Clemson and Oklahoma took time away from the field to play some different games. Both teams visited the Give Kids the World Village in Kissimmee, where they got to dance, play basketball and hoola-hoop with children facing life-threatening illnesses.

In it's final season in the American Athletic Conference, the Louisville Cardinals (12-1, 7-1 AAC) defeated future ACC foe Miami (9-4, 5-3 ACC) 36-9 in front of 51,098 fans at the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium on Saturday night.
Michalee Harris has waited four years for this. Although the redshirt junior has been a part of the Louisville team since 2010 (a stretch that has seen three previous postseason appearances), he will be playing in his first bowl game on Saturday night.
Although conferences changed, the rivalry between UCF (6-1, 4-0 The American) and Houston (7-2, 4-1) was intense as ever. UCF held on to beat the Cougars 19-14 in front of 44,665 fans at Bright House Networks Stadium Nov. 9 putting them in the driver's seat for the American Athletic Conference's BCS bid.
