Used imprpperly collars can do damage to your dog's neck (including the trachea, esophagus, and more) over the years. An easy way to prevent the damage is to attach your dog's leash to a harness instead of a collar.
If your dog pulls a lot on his leash, you can buy a training tool such as an Easy Walk Harness or a Gentle Leadeer Head Collar and use that tool on walks while you teach your dog to walk more nicely. (Be sure to follow the instructions when using training tools like these.) Once your dog understands how to walk politely on leash, you can remove the training tool and simply walk your dog in a regular body harness.

Major food assistance programme planned for DPR Korea
Beijing, 2 September 2008 - WFP is launching a new emergency operation valued at approximately half a billion dollars to feed 6.2 million people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), including many in previously inaccessible areas of the country.
The new emergency operation is expected to be approved in the coming days.
"Right now millions of North Koreans do not have enough to eat. This new operation is designed to make sure they do," said Tony Banbury, WFP Regional Director for Asia at a press conference today in Beijing, adding that WFP would need almost US$8 million per week to provide the level of food assistance required in the DPRK.
"It is very important that donors come forward now and support this critical operation."
Worst hunger in a decade
WFP had previously warned that the DPRK was suffering its worst hunger levels since the late 1990s, due to heavy flooding in August 2007, lower harvests and drastically reduced food aid and imports.
The immediate negative impact on food security was confirmed by a comprehensive "Rapid Food Security Assessment" conducted jointly by WFP and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in June. More than three quarters of all households had reduced their food intake, over half were eating only two meals per day and more malnourished and ill children were being admitted to hospitals and institutions.
WFP has negotiated a new agreement governing the terms of its work in the country, which included providing for the best monitoring and access it has ever had since the start up in 1995.
Previously inaccessible areas
The new operation will extend to areas that were previously inaccessible, targeting the young, the elderly and other vulnerable groups. Close to half the beneficiaries will be in the remote provinces in the north east that have been hard hit by industrial recession and that are deemed most vulnerable to food insecurity.
During a seven day visit to the DPRK, Banbury made a 2,000 kilometer trip through five of the eight provinces targeted under the new programme: Ryanggang, North Hamgyong, South Hamgyong, Kangwon and Pyongyang. He also met government officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Food Administration and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the implementation of the new WFP programme and the need for food assistance.
"WFP has received encouraging cooperation from the government in the past few weeks but there are some areas where further discussion is needed to ensure continued good cooperation and that the food reaches the right people at the right time," said Jean-Pierre de Margerie, WFP Country Director for the DPRK programme.
Korean-speaking staff
"All in all, operations are progressing well and we have been able to expand assistance to reach over 4 million hungry and vulnerable North Koreans."
WFP is deploying 59 international staff members to support the new programme. More than 20 of them will be working in six newly-established field offices to monitor and track food distributions – and for the first time ever, the international staff will include Korean-speakers, in accordance with the new agreement between WFP and the DPRK government.
WFP monitors have already visited county warehouses and beneficiary institutions in 125 of the 131 targeted counties and have accounted for all WFP food assistance distributed so far.

And on a side note, I was under the impression that the Kubrick docu. that came w/ the box set was getting released as a double DVD, possibly coming with the new book of the same name. Anyone have information on that?
Man, I can't wait over 20 years for the documentary!
Is "Fear and Desire" a feature-film or a short?

Ascent of Mount Harwood on 2009-06-27

Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Mount Harwood
9552 ft / 2911 m
Ascent Trip Report
Despite not having a hiking partner (Andrew stayed up too late packing his mom's car on her journey to Colorado), I decided to give Mt. Baldy a try today. I had originally wanted to bag 5 peaks on this trip (Harwood, Baldy, West Baldy, Dawson and Pine) but soon felt that this was a little too ambitious considering my physical conditioning! It was a bluebird day for sure with temps in the mid 70's.
I got an early start (6:10am from Torrance) and arrived at chair #1 at the Mt. Baldy ski resort at 7:30am. After buying my round trip ticket (this used to be a nominal fee but now costs $18 - talk about inflation!!), I started my journey for the day. There was a light breeze blowing most of the day so the sun was not too unbearable. I'm still not in my best hiking shape so I forgot just what an uphill adventure this was going to be! (2,993 ft. gain/loss) I marked my exit point from the trail (001 on the map) as I traversed up the scree slope of Mt. Harwood.
This wasn't that difficult to gain the top. After a quick break I headed back down and rejoined the main trail (002 on the map). It was an extremely busy day on the backbone trail with many people going up and down.
I reached the top before noon only to be greeted by hoards of hikers!! (My estimate was well over 50!)
I didn't stay too long and decided to have lunch on the top of West Baldy which I hadn't bagged before. Other than two other hikers I had the top to myself!
An amazing view with wonderful solitude and a light breeze. I left just after noon and made it back to the notch by 2pm. Here is a log of my travels:
07:45 am Mt. Baldy ski resort parking lot

UPDATE: Russell County teen accused of plan to bomb high school released on $75,000 bond
Derek Shrout, 17, was released Monday afternoon from Russell County Jail on a $75,000 bond after he was arrested for allegedly planning to use homemade explosives in a terrorist attack on fellow students at Russell County High School in Seale, Ala.
Judge Albert Johnson set the following conditions for Shrout: He must remain at home; wear a GPS locator bracelet on his ankle; refrain from initiating contact with anyone connected to the school; and be monitored by a parent while on the Internet.
Johnson scheduled Shrout's preliminary hearing for Feb. 12 at 9 a.m.
Shrout's hands and ankles were chained as deputies escorted him into the courtroom Monday. He made no comment during his bond hearing. His attorney, Jeremy Armstrong, entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.
After the hearing, Shrout's family members declined comment. Armstrong said the case against Shrout is an overreaction in the wake of last month's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"Our position is that our client had no intention to harm anybody," Armstrong said.
Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor said Sunday a search of Shrout's home Friday found about a couple dozen small tobacco cans and two large cans, all with holes drilled in them and containing pellets.
He said other ingredients to complete the small bombs such as black powder, butane and fuses were not found.
Taylor said the devices were just "a step or two away from being ready to explode."
Shrout described the bombs he was making in a journal, Taylor said, and, if completed the way Shrout described, the bombs would have blown up.
"It would have been serious," Taylor said.
A teacher found the journal, determined it belonged to Shrout and gave it to an administrator who got it to School Resource Officer Tommy Morrison, one of Taylor's deputies. He recognized the potential for danger, and Shrout was brought in for questioning, Taylor said.
Taylor said Shrout claimed the writing in the journal to be fictitious, but Shrout's parents, whom Taylor called "very cooperative," allowed a search of the house and the bomb materials were located.
Russell County Sheriff's Deputy David Webster arrested Shrout on Friday evening in the department's headquarters and charged him with first-degree attempted assault. It is Shrout's first arrest, according to the report. The report also shows that Shrout lives on Pope Street in Fort Mitchell, Ala., and was born in Manassas, Va.
Shrout admitted to being a white supremacist, according to authorities.
"He has a lot of pent-up anger toward blacks," Taylor said.
Russell County junior Jessica Watkins confirmed Shrout's racist reputation.
Although he is a senior, Shrout is in Watkins' history class this year to make up credits after transferring from out of state with his military family in October, she said. Watkins sat in Shrout's seat Monday and was horrified by what she saw written on the desk.
"It said, 'white power' with the F-word, and it was covered in Nazi symbols," Watkins said. The teacher tried to scrub it off, she said, but couldn't because it was in permanent marker.
Shrout often would holler "white power" and make a "W" sign with his fingers and hold it to his chest, Watkins said. "But I always thought he was joking around," she said.
Watkins said he heard that the Hispanic and black students mentioned as targets in Shrout's journal were in her history class. "I teared up when I found out," she said. "That was our lives he was going for."
Shrout was involved in JROTC and often wore camouflage and boots, but he also has a soft side, Watkins said. Shrout helped Watkins study in class. "He was always so quiet and sweet," she said.
Most puzzling to Watkins, she said, is that Shrout would use the N-word and other racial slurs, but a black student was considered his best friend.

Ordering Information
Sorry, Garmin GPS25LVS is no longer available
Frequently Asked Questions
- The GPS-25 can accept DGPS signals.
- Antenna options (which can be purchased directly from Garmin if required) include:
- mag mount
- flange mount (bolt to a car)
- trunk clip
- suction cup mounted
- The unit has true time clocks, PPS timing, and nonvolatile memory on board.
- The interface is NMEA 0183 (TTL levels) and RS232 (+ and - 15 volts)
- The unit can be powered by AA batteries. Batteries or external supplies will require a suitable power regulator.
- The unit only gives NMEA sentences as output, no extraction of RTCM-104 data.
- There's no problem with the antenna being close to the boards.
All sensitive components are shielded.
- The unit has a LNAs and you can use passive antennas.
You need to keep the antenna runs short however.
- The antenna is attached with a MCX (also know as OCX) connector, which is a friction lock connector.
- There's a header for connecting the data cables.
A connector and cable will be included in the kit.
The connector is a subminiature PCB edge connector.
This is not the same connector as used with many hand-held units.
- You cannot adjust the intervals that the boards outputs data.
However, you can adjust their baud rate.
- The boards do adjust for leap seconds (via the satellites).
- For DGPS, since these are just the boards, you can't use the Garmin DGPS receivers.
The Garmin units get tuning instructions from the GPS keyboard (which are not on the
boards). To receive DGPS signals, you'll need a tunable beacon receiver. Correction
signals are sent in through the data in cable (just like the handhelds).
- Will the documentation include full description of the proprietary protocol?
The data on their "proprietary" command protocol is included. Here "proprietary" means a "non-standard" NMEA command. They start with $PG instead of $GP...
- Will there be a 1 Hz output?
Yes, there is a 1pps signal at no extra charge!
- Does Garmin have a web page?
- It appears the GPS-25 does NOT have a built-in display but one has to use an
external computer with unspecified software. Also the external computer is required
to provide tuning instructions. Is this correct?
This is just the GPS engine that produces NMEA outputs. No display, no user functions...

Oh wow.... just.... wow.... The stupid, it burnssssss!
Someone doesn't understand how to play chess...
Between the horrible arguments which hold no validity and the lack of punctuation and spell check, I say this literally hurts to read. And really was it necessary to do in caps?
Ever read Aristole? I took a 400 level class once with 800 pages to read in one quarter! While Aristole would be more enlightening than this drivel, the shear amount of reading to do before the good stuff shows up, is just about overwheming.
Caps was neccesary for impact. Ignorance was needed for coding into the 'crap' pile. Mis-placed certainty, helped the writer to face his/her fear. The bird is some type of totum!
Wasn't it Aristotle who said: "There's no idea so patently absurd that people won't believe it."
I'm embarrassed that I share a first name with such a demonstrably ignorant person.
1 - Citing The Bible as proof of anything is circular reasoning at its most specious (Look it up, Dale!).
2 - Criticism of evolution by someone who so obviously hasn't the slightest understanding of it is a fool's errand, in more ways than one.
3 - Attempting to be persuasive with illiterate prose is unwise.
4 - Kent Hovind is a piker. James Randi is offering one million dollars to anyone who can prove anything supernatural, including a god. Unlike Hovind, though, Randi placed that one million dollars in an escrow account, to be awarded by a scientific panel acceptable to all concerned. Hovind will never have to cough up his quarter million to anyone, because no matter how much empirical evidence is presented to him by the scientific community, worldwide, he will reject it out of hand.
5 - Not only is there evidence for evolution, there is more evidence for it than any scientific theory ever conceived.
6 - Anybody who believes a word of the Grimm's Fairy Tale that is the Book of Genesis is hoplessly benighted (Look it up, Dale.). I will admit, though, it is entertaining - hilarious, in fact!
It never fails to amaze me how deeply creationists are willing to wallow in their own ignorance.
"Wasn't it Aristotle who said: "There's no idea so patently absurd that people won't believe it."
Sounds more like the wit of Voltaire, but I expect Russell. Just do a search, what am I the fountain of 'wit' sources? LOL

Fragrant, spicy, and absolutely delicious, Tom Kha Gai Soup is the Thai and Lao equivalent of Coconut Chicken Soup. The main ingredients are galangal, or Tom Kha in Thai, and Gai which means Chicken. Delicately seasoned with coconut milk, chicken broth, strips of white chicken, fish sauce, galangal or ginger root, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and a few fresh red chiles, the fragrant ingredients create a spicy milky broth that is wonderfully aromatic, slightly sour and just a wee bit salty from the fish sauce. Thai-style Tom Kha Gai doesn't use dill, whereas Lao-style Tom Kha Gai usually does. The Thais' answer to dill weed is cilantro. Lovely, light and refreshing, Tom Kha Gai is one of my favourite soups and is delicious anytime of the year, but especially so when combined with a Thai-inspired meal of spicy chicken satays, fresh spring rolls, an aromatic curry, steamed rice and cold Singha lager.
Tom Kha Gai Soup
Serves 4-6
2 cups chicken broth
5 kaffir lime leaves, sliced thinly
1-inch piece of galangal or ginger root, sliced thinly
2-inch length of lemongrass, bruised
4 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
4 oz chicken breast, sliced thinly
5 oz coconut milk
4-6 small red chiles, slightly crushed, to taste
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
In a large saucepan, heat the broth, then add the lime leaves, lemongrass, ginger, fish sauce and lime juice. Stirring thoroughly, bring to a boil. Then add the chicken and coconut milk. Bring back to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until heated through. Serve in small bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.

A few weeks ago, I posted "Code Green: Making Renewables a Common American Purpose," which touched on Thomas Friedman's book Hot, Flat, and Crowded.
Here's another quote from the book, "If you take only one thing away from this book, please take this: We are not going to regulate our way out of the problems of the Energy-Climate Era. We can only innovate our way out and the only way to do that is to mobilize the most effective and prolific system for transformational innovation and commercialization of new products ever created on the face of the earth—the U.S. marketplace."
Friedman continues, ". . . We need 10,000 innovators, all collaborating with, and building upon, one another to produce all sorts of breakthroughs in abundant, clean, reliable, and cheap electrons and energy efficiency. And we need to create demand, huge demand—crazy, wild-off-the-charts demand—for existing clean power technologies, like wind and solar, in order to reduce the cost of these technologies and make them competitive with conventional fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas."
Improving Biodiesel Yields
A recent announcement between Verenium Corporation and Alfa Laval is an example of innovators building upon each other's technologies. Verenium Corporation develops specialty enzymes and next-generation cellulosic ethanol; and Alfa Laval (as dairy producers well know) is a global provider of heat transfer, separation and fluid handling technologies.
These companies will now jointly market enzymatic degumming of vegetable oils using Verenium's Purifine PLC enzyme and Alfa Laval's engineering services and equipment. Purifine enzymatic degumming is designed to significantly increase yields in edible oil production. Verenium reports that use of this process also enhances yields of biodiesel from crude oil.
Under the terms of the agreement, Alfa Laval will be able to market Purifine enzymatic degumming packaged with its process engineering equipment and services to customers processing vegetable oils for edible and biodiesel use. In turn, Verenium will support Alfa Laval's marketing efforts and recommend their engineering services to target customers.
"Together, our companies offer a comprehensive solution to increase efficiencies in edible oil and biodiesel production," said Janet Roemer, Verenium's executive vice president, Specialty Enzymes Business.
Corn Plus, Continued Innovation
And then there is Corn Plus, Winnebago, MN (www.cornplusethanol.com), no stranger to innovation. The Free Press - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX recently reported on the ethanol company's proposal to use treated municipal wastewater rather than pure water from aquifers. This plan will help substantially reduce groundwater consumption.
Corn Plus also is working with EdeniQ, Visalia, CA (www.edeniq.com), which has developed a combination of mechanical and biological processes to increase ethanol yields from corn by more than 10%. In the March 2009 issue of the ethanol producer's newsletter the Courier, Keith Kor, Corn Plus manager, reported that Corn Plus is working with EdeniQ to help bring its ethanol yield up to 2.82 undenatured gallons or 2.88 denatured gallons per bushel of corn. Corn Plus hopes to have preliminary results by the end of April or May.

NZ Wrecker's ball for $2.4m home
Property Here - Thursday, March 21, 2013
A developer has paid $2.41 million for a five-bedroom family home in Epsom, with plans to knock it down and build two new townhouses.
The real estate agency that sold 11 Kipling Ave says the price is unheard of for a piece of land its size which was not being purchased for the house sitting on it.
The property went for more than double its valuation of $1.18 million.
The auction attracted a room full of developers and 62 bids by six groups, Harcourts Eden-Epsom director James Marshall said.
Interest was so high that the auction was brought forward a week after a pre-auction offer of $1.5 million was made.
That price point became the reserve, but bidding quickly escalated to $2.41 million.
The winning bidder, a Chinese developer, plans to subdivide the section and build two standalone townhouses to sell.
The home was unable to be moved in one piece because of its brick foundations and weatherboard walls so would have to be knocked down, Mr Marshall said.
The 1950s weatherboard house, sitting on a 984sq m section, was last sold to a family in 1983 for $139,000 when it had a valuation of $79,500.
The couple's children have grown up and left home so they are downsizing.
Mr Marshall calculated the sale price at $2450 a square metre.
"It's an exemplary result for something that's not even a quarter-acre section.
"We are constantly amazed when records continue to get broken, but this one eclipses anything we've seen.
"We do this every day, but this particular property went well past our and the vendor's expectations."
He said that based on comparable properties and the pre-auction offer, the couple valued their home at $1.5 million.
"Epsom really has become the country's largest Asian community," Mr Marshall said.
"We used to talk about Howick being the old Asian community, now it's Epsom."

Word Origin and History for anti-liberal (1 of 2)
1820, "member of the Liberal party of Great Britain," from liberal (adj.). Used early 20c. of less dogmatic Christian churches; in reference to a political ideology not conservative or fascist but short of socialism, from c.1920.
This is the attitude of mind which has come to be known as liberal. It implies vigorous convictions, tolerance for the opinions of others, and a persistent desire for sound progress. It is a method of approach which has played a notable and constructive part in our history, and which merits a thorough trial today in the attack on our absorbingly interesting American task. [Guy Emerson, "The New Frontier," 1920]
Word Origin and History for anti-liberal (1 of 2)
mid-14c., "generous," also, late 14c., "selfless; noble, nobly born; abundant," and, early 15c., in a bad sense "extravagant, unrestrained," from Old French liberal "befitting free men, noble, generous, willing, zealous" (12c.), from Latin liberalis "noble, gracious, munificent, generous," literally "of freedom, pertaining to or befitting a free man," from liber "free, unrestricted, unimpeded; unbridled, unchecked, licentious," from PIE *leudh-ero- (cf. Greek eleutheros "free"), probably originally "belonging to the people" (though the precise semantic development is obscure), and a suffixed form of the base *leudh- "people" (cf. Old Church Slavonic ljudu, Lithuanian liaudis, Old English leod, German Leute "nation, people;" Old High German liut "person, people") but literally "to mount up, to grow."
With the meaning "free from restraint in speech or action," liberal was used 16c.-17c. as a term of reproach. It revived in a positive sense in the Enlightenment, with a meaning "free from prejudice, tolerant," which emerged 1776-88.
In reference to education, explained by Fowler as "the education designed for a gentleman (Latin liber a free man) & ... opposed on the one hand to technical or professional or any special training, & on the other to education that stops short before manhood is reached" (cf. liberal arts). Purely in reference to political opinion, "tending in favor of freedom and democracy" it dates from c.1801, from French libéral, originally applied in English by its opponents (often in French form and with suggestions of foreign lawlessness) to the party favorable to individual political freedoms. But also (especially in U.S. politics) tending to mean "favorable to government action to effect social change," which seems at times to draw more from the religious sense of "free from prejudice in favor of traditional opinions and established institutions" (and thus open to new ideas and plans of reform), which dates from 1823.
Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. [Ambrose Bierce, "Devil's Dictionary," 1911]
Culture definitions for anti-liberal
A descriptive term for persons, policies, and beliefs associated with liberalism.

The Recent Recession Destroyed 18 Years of Savings for the Average Family
The destruction of family wealth and income from 2007 to 2010 is unprecedented since the end of WWII. Families lost almost a generation of accumulated wealth during that period. All of this analysis from a recent Federal Reserve Bulletin. The article is from CNNMoney.com:
The article is in italics and bold is my emphasis.
The average American family's net worth dropped almost 40% between 2007 and 2010, according to a triennial study released Monday by the Federal Reserve.
The stunning drop in median net worth -- from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010 -- indicates that the recession wiped away 18 years of savings and investment by families.
The Fed study, called the Survey of Consumer Finances, offers details on savings, income, debt, as well as assets and investments owned by American families.
The results, though more than a year old, highlight the marked deterioration in household finances brought on by the financial crisis and ensuing recession.
Much of the drop off in net worth -- to levels not seen since 1992 -- was attributable to a sharp decline in housing values, the Fed said.
In 2007, the median homeowner had a net worth of $246,000. Three years later that number had fallen to $174,500, a loss of more than $70,000 on average.
Families who reside in the west and south, where the housing market was especially hard hit by the recession, were worse off than their peers in the rest of the country.
Making matters worse, income levels also fell during the tumultuous three-year period, with median pre-tax income falling 7.7% as earnings from capital gains all but disappeared.
The loss of income and net worth appears to have impacted savings rates, as the number of Americans who said they saved in the prior year fell from 56.4% in 2007 to 52.0% in 2010 -- the lowest level recorded since the early 1990s.
At the same time, some families were able to escape from debt, as the share of families with debt decreased slightly to 74.9% over the three-year period. Credit card use was down, and the median account balance fell 16.1%.
Meanwhile, families who did report carrying debt showed little change in the degree of indebtedness over the period.
Lower interest rates helped keep debt levels down, but the number of Americans who had fallen more than 60 days behind on debt payments still grew from 7.1% to 10.8% in 2010.
The report also indicated that families with more assets at the start of the recession were able to retain more of their net worth than less fortunate families.
Families in the top 10% of income actually saw their net worth increase over the period, rising from a median of $1.17 million in 2007 to $1.19 million in 2010.
Meanwhile, middle-class families who ranked in the 40th to 60th percentile of income earners reported that their median income fell from $92,300 to $65,900 over the same time period.

Tocopheryl Acetate
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 9, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Tocopheryl Acetate
Tocopheryl acetate is also referred to as vitamin E acetate; it is a vitamin supplement. It is derived from acetic acid and tocopherol or Vitamin E. This is a commonly used ingredient as an additive in skin care products utilized to revitalize and rejuvenate tired and dull looking skin. Tocopheryl acetate also has antioxidant effects that can help reduce the effects of aging on skin cells. It can also serve as a protection from the sun's ultraviolet rays through using personal skin care products with Tocopheryl acetate
Although the properties of Tocopheryl acetate are promising, it has been linked to cause cancer because of the impurities and contaminants found that may cause significant health risks.
History and Origin
Tocopheryl acetate is also known as Tocopheryl acetateretinyl palmitate or vitamin E acetate. It is used as an alternative to tocopherol. The acetate is absorbed or hydrolyzed as is enters the skin and in turn regenerates tocopherol.
Ancient Uses
The use of Tocopheryl acetate was unheard of during the ancient times but skin care was a rather important priority in some older cultures. Ancient Egyptians, for example, used fruit and nut extracts to make their skin look healthier and younger. Skin was also cared for by applying herbal remedies and treatments to control inflammation, boils, treat wounds and many other skin conditions.
Modern Uses
Tocopheryl acetate is used as a vitamin additive in many personal care products. In skin care, it is an active ingredient in moisturizers, facial cleansers, body washes and cleansers. The vitamin E content in these products helps nourish the skin and protect it from the harmful rays of the sun as well.
Tocopheryl acetate is also an ingredient in hair care products such as quality shampoos, conditioners, hair color, styling aids and hair care treatments. Vitamin E gives life to dull and limp hair for a fuller and lustrous hair growth.
In the cosmetics industry, Tocopheryl acetate is used in lip glosses, lip sticks, mascaras, concealers, blushes and many other makeup varieties. Vitamin E in makeup is known to improve skin health and can decrease the signs of skin aging as well.
Tocopheryl acetate is also found in many other personal products such as aftershaves, deodorants, antiperspirants and is also found in wound care treatment preparations. Sunscreens and tanning lotions have this as a main ingredient to help protect the skin from the sun's ultra violet rays.
Side Effects
Although Tocopheryl acetate is used in many personal skin care and hair care products, it is also considered to cause some significant risks to a person's health. Medical experts agree that Tocopheryl acetate has the potential to contain certain impurities that can be linked back to be a cause of cancer. It is also classified as a skin synthesizer which can stimulate the body's immune system which may cause itching, scaling, burning sensation and skin irritation.
If you have extra sensitive skin, you should discuss with your dermatologist for the most appropriate skin care treatment as well as using a prescription to increase vitamin E in the body. It is also important to seek medical help as soon as possible if you develop a skin irritation after using any of the products that contain Tocopheryl acetate.

Abstract: Greenstreets is the most extensive urban beautification initiative in New York City since the start of citywide neighborhood street tree planting in the early twentieth century. Under the Greenstreets program, Parks has converted thousands of unused concrete and striped islands formed by the city's intersecting streets into leafy, 'pint-sized' parks. These triangles, medians, and curbside bump-outs not only beautify the urban landscape, but also calm busy traffic, increase pedestrian safety, and capture stormwater for irrigation. First launched in 1996, Greenstreets has been completely reinvigorated by Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC through the first-ever dedicated program funding.

But it also has that beautiful Flux Capacitor light sequence we all know and love. Even traffic jams (either terrestrial or aerial (if your car is powered by Mr. Fusion)) won't bother you because your device will be charging and the Flux Capacitor Car Charger's pulse will make you feel more important than anyone else. It's time to write your name in your underwear, Calvin, and get yourself a Flux Capacitor Car Charger in the present (so you can enjoy it in the future).

I love to walk and travel. Since I walked the gr20 in Corsica, I fell in love with nature. Now I'm searching a walking route which I can walk alone, but I'm too scared to plan it. Dreaming of the mountains, trying to find myself on the way,etc. But I cannot take the step. Fear is controlling me.
I searched some easy walks, but it stays with looking and searching. It 's like window shopping. You want that dress, but you decide it is not a necessary item, so you leave it right there where you found it.
Do you have any experience of travelling alone? What walks did you take? Can you advise any?

Hannah Powell emerged looking like she had just been dunked in a swimming pool.
The rising North Elementary School second-grader had just finished playing a game at Discovery School's Camp Invention.
In the game, she used a shield to fend off water that was being tossed in her direction. Students who played the game made their shields from construction paper.
A major disability hasn't kept New Jersey resident Malcolm Phillips from reaching out and sharing his story with the world.
Phillips, 20, was born with cerebral palsy. He was the guest speaker at Brooklyn Springs Elementary School's fifth-grade graduation June 3.
He is the godson of Principal Gwen Minor.
Phillips can't walk or use his hands, and isn't able to talk clearly. He gets around in a wheelchair and needs assistance with all tasks.
KERSHAW – Denzel Washington didn't stroll in the auditorium at Andrew Jackson High School on May 21, but some students may have thought they got the next best thing.
Retired football coach Herman Boone – who guided the much-celebrated T.C. Williams High School football team to a Virginia state title years ago – visited AJHS.
He also visited Lancaster High School, giving motivational speeches to the students at each school.
He was also the keynote speaker at the district's Honor Beyond the Field banquet May 21.
Teenage music and acting sensation Hannah Montana paid a special visit to Indian Land Elementary School on May 15.
Well, kind of.
No, it wasn't the real Hannah Montana who visited the school, but judging by the students' loud roar, you may not have been able to tell the difference.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Visiting International Faculty Program has recognized 16 of its visiting exchange teachers with 2009 International Educator of the Year awards.
Two Lancaster County School District teachers were honored with the awards.
Chosen from among more than 70 nominees in six states, these educators work every day to create opportunities for their students to explore other cultures and countries, master new languages, and discuss and contribute to solutions for global challenges.
Chris Catoe is in his first year at Buford Middle School and says he was nervous about starting school in a new place.
He had to deal with the prospect of bullies, while trying to make friends and concentrate on his work.
But since the start of school, the sixth-grader has excelled academically. He now speaks highly of his middle school experience.
"It was scary the first few days, but it's good now," Catoe said.
The country's largest exchange program for teachers has given high honors to two educators in Lancaster.
Brooklyn Springs Elementary School's Mónica M. Díaz Jiménez is South Carolina's 2009 International Educator of the Year for the Visiting International Faculty (VIF) Program.
Verónica Raffin of North Elementary School won VIF's honorable mention this year.
Both Diaz and Raffin teach English as a Second Language, or ESL.
As her tour group moved quickly through the ornate rooms of the Hollywood Beach railcar, HeeJong Park made sure to take a few pictures along the way.
With her digital camera in hand, Park snapped photos throughout the luxury railcar, from the dining car to the cabins to the glass-ceiling sun room. The train, which was one of two deluxe charter trains parked at Lancaster's L&C Railway, was just a stop along the way for Park and the rest of her tour group.
Bobby Bailey sat near the stage at the Lancaster County School District's Celebration of Excellence ceremony Monday and had no idea what was coming his way.
Bailey usually attends the annual event. But little did he know, he'd be recognized this time around.
Bailey, a retired educator who heads a number of community outreach initiatives, is one of the four newest inductees into the school district's Hall of Fame.
Joining him in the 2009 class are William "Bill" Williams Jr., the late Emma Bufford and the late Bonita Howey.
Keith "Little Bear" Brown transformed clay into works of art in just minutes.
Using his hands and a few tools, Brown, a member of the Catawba Indian tribe, creates pipes, bowls and pots that can be used for daily functions, while others creations are kept primarily for display.
Brown brought his pottery skills to town April 9 for the fourth annual Native American Studies Week at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
The week featured several presenters and lecturers whose aim was to highlight Native American history and culture.

Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Fanfiction Discussion
Welcome to the Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Discussion thread.
This thread is a place where you can discuss your own Original Infinite Stratos characters, created by taking the principles known about the IS-universe into consideration.
As a reference, you can see some extra information in the following post:
As most other threads, this is a discussion thread, thus you are expected to comment on other people's creations in case you submit your own character. Do not simply drop by to submit your creation.
Posts that serve only to submit a character without contributing anything to the discussion will be deleted. If you happen to come across such posts, feel free to use the Report button , so we can keep the discussion going. Discussion means that people will disagree with you. Try to listen to them before ignoring them for trying to kill your darlings
Remember: when creating a character it is important to give as much specific information as you can come up with. This will keep things more interesting for every one. Some basic things are:
Character's name
Looks (Hair style, color/eyes/physical profile/etc...)
Alignment (good/evil/chaotic/lawful etc...)
Powers (Device/Specialization/Combat Style/etc...)
Background (What hole did he/she crawl out of)
Anything else you can think of
Please avoid DBZ-like characters. Unstoppable gods with enough power to blow up a planet by accidentally sneezing doesn't make for a very interesting discussion, and is not faithful to IS-universe. Try to have the character as realistic as possible in term of abilities. If possible, try not posting too many characters in one post.
How detailed you describe everything is up to you, but the more details - the more things to discuss.
From this point and onwards (February 7), this thread will also serve as a place to discuss IS fanfic related material. All guidelines used in other fanfic threads will be carried over and we (the staff) expect that people will follow them.
*Guidelines and rules for fanfics:
Fanfiction works can be either posted in this thread or in the Fan Creations Forum and linked to in this thread. You may also link to Fanfiction works posted on other sites and discuss it here.
General rules of our forum still apply:
No sexually explicit material. Yes, this goes for text format as well.
Be polite to your fellow forum members
Have fun, but post intelligently
Please respect the authors, fanfictions are written in their free time, they have no gain and owe you nothing; if they like a particular character and/or a particular pattern for their story, it's a personal choice and can't be blamed. In general, you are free to post constructive criticisms but not insults which (as in any other part of the forums) won't be tolerated. Remember that writers post here to get help and not to get troubles.
Thanks and have fun

Haha. Wow, this is a potential melting pot for awesome creativity. I certainly didn't expect this specific type of thread though. So is this thread like a meeting and development room for potential fanfiction projects?

Also, if people would read everyone else's work and comment on them.
Though the character description reminds me of someone I know who was voiced by Chiwa Saito in an anime about suicidal plushies.
That said, how are we going about the personal IS business? From what Rin mentions, there're only 3 personal cores in school, or at least in the year. Or are we going to retcon that?
I love the smell of missile exhaust in the morning.
Again, another personal core? But asides from that, well-made!
As a sidenote, I find it hilarious that an IS is banned from being used for war, but all the canon IS we see so far, even the Shirogane, carries enough firepower to start one. Logically, I'd have my IS loaded with all sorts of paintball weapons, rather than incendiary stuff that can level a small building.
Though once you ignore how much it rapes canon, it's a pretty good concept... just try and make it a bit more understandable in terms of specs to those of us who only know Armored Core by its title only?
I'll repeat again, there's a preference for personal IS cores, but so far the IS academy has only 3: Rin, Ichika and Cecilia, as Houki mentions in episode 3. I went around that with an extensively-upgraded mass production IS for my OC, which again is a nod to my motherland's knack for buying old junk and turning them into upgraded obiang monsters. But as we can see, there's still personal cores popping up in the thread.
As the Dragonball rule goes, personal IS cores are implied to be much stronger than MPIS cores. Forcing everyone to use MPIS who provide a power ceiling to our creations and make it more believable. Also reduces the risk of being retconned by canon later.
What shall be our stance on them? Allow and retcon canon, or go back and do it again?

It's all in the desire for a more customizable IS man, an MPIS significantly lowers the creativity involved with fan creation.
And, if these characters aren't even canon, why worry about such things as 3 personal IS being at the academy anyways?
I tried my best to balance out Osirus, heavily diluting melee and mobility for firepower. I already know of the Dragonball rule -and, being a frequent rp'er- so I try to keep things fair.
Elaborate on the meaning of retcon, please.

Retcon in this situation means saying "my OC is USA's representative" and canon one day introduces the actual US rep, rendering your OC moot.
But if we're going by a modified AU based on canon, I needn't have worried. It'd be more like those BROBs on spacebattles I've been getting into lately.
Sounds like a neat balance there. Gives people a reason to take MPIS (like myself).

Also, the idea of the crossover begins with the end of the events of Last Raven (Known to him as the 24 hour war.) where the AC3 world was desperately trying to find a way to survive after Vertex defeated the Alliance, with little resources left and only a single Raven qualified to be a soldier. They began a frantic search for other Layered societies but instead found a transport matrix which takes them to IS Earth. The IS Earth was clean and pristine enough to "expand in" and the event takes place before the events of IS.
To accomodate the Raven shortage, an impressment of MT pilots to AC piloting began. Because of the harsh training and near suicidal missions given, many AC Pilots went rogue and found their own warlord kingdoms in the world. While some work for the other corps, others were soon treated as champions of the old social order, men who could instill a sense of pride again to the disenfrachised male society who now have lower social status thanks to the IS.

The vice grips are just claws designed to grasp/clamp within 10 m to draw them towards Seraphim
Shocker cables = think of heat rods from gundam, aka whips of electricity designed to shock and disable.
Excalibur anti field blades
- The primary melee weapon, it is a solid based weapon designed to penetrate absolute defense blades at no expense of energy from the core. However, it is a heavy blade and is not very manueverable.
- When split in 2, it loses it's piercing field abilities but allows seraphim to wear down the enemy's field with fast constant blows. (or via throwing)

As for what I am going to do, just look on down and you'll see...soon enough.
It's really quite self-explanatory... A funny combination of Armored Core, Super Robot Wars, Armored Trooper Votoms, and Full Metal Panic all selectively cut-and-pasted into the IS universe's plain and obvious G Gundam gone School RomanComedy MOE ethos.
Trust me, it's a lot better than it sounds.

Ah well, like I said, not like Karon's Merlion Imouto is firing paintballs either.
Canonically, I'm guessing Houki's oneechan to be related to the US somehow. Because of USAgi-mimi.
All we need now is a certain crazy hotblooded goose jumping in with some incest...

RALEIGH � Former North Carolina State basketball coach Sidney Lowe has been charged with failing to file his state income taxes for three years.
The state Department of Revenue said that Lowe didn't file returns in 2009, 2010 or 2011. He was booked at the Wake County jail Monday and released on a $10,000 unsecured bond.
Lowe was a player for North Carolina State in the early 1980s and coached the Wolfpack for five seasons before resigning in 2011. He never made the NCAA tournament as a coach.
Lowe is currently an assistant coach for the Utah Jazz. A spokesman says the team was aware of reports about Lowe's arrest but had no comment. Lowe also couldn't be reached for comment, and it wasn't known if he had an attorney.

Apparently, according to Announcer Woman, this episode is 'sexy and raunchy' - what, more so than usual?! The review below contains spoilers and is probably a bit less witty and sarky than usual, for reasons which will become clear...
Spartacus certainly seems to be more popular following his victory over Theocoles, which is nice, but poor old Crixus is in a bad way. Looking like Messala in his final scene in Ben-Hur is not a ticket to long life.
It's nice to see Xena horrified by the murder of Aufidius and his family. In the first few episodes, she seemed to be yet another Livia/Atia, sex-mad like Atia and cold as Livia, but there's more humanity under there, even if she concedes the problem John Hannah had (or at least, so it seems until her next scene). Spartacus, meanwhile, still doesn't quite seem to understand the actual concept of slavery, which seems unlikely for someone who grew up in the ancient world. Barca has slightly more realistic ambitions, to buy freedom for himself and his boyfriend, but his plans are no doubt equally doomed.
Xena has acquired quite some bath - she looks like Cleopatra, though possibly the Carry on Cleo version. Also, she and JH are apparently once again too lazy to do their own foreplay, and Xena gets off on watching JH rape a slave girl in her bath - this is pretty excessively kinky, even for her.
I like the scene with Spartacus and Neighbours Reject discussing the geography of the Bay of Naples - this is the first real bit of foreshadowing of the eventual rebellion that we've seen. It's immediately followed by some rather more obvious foreshadowing, which is all the less effective for being a thousand times less subtle. It finishes on a nice bit about opportunity though, which is effective even if it did make me think of Pirates of the Carribbean. It also reminds us that Drill Sergeant Guy could stop Spartacus' escape attempt - so, presumably, when he finally rebels, he'll have to either get Drill Sergeant Guy on side or get rid of him.
We keep being treated to Spartacus' fantasies about his violent escape - it seems that, since there is less fighting in this episode, we have to see repeated images of escape fantasies instead. This seems a shame to me, for two reasons - firstly, it will make the eventual rebellion less different and exciting, and secondly, it makes the show 'blood and tits' again, insisting on violence and sex where character and dialogue would be more appropriate. Spartacus' snaky new armour and equally new abilty to wheedle important young Romans are nice though.
At last, we get back to poor Crixus, still bleeding all over a table in the back of the ludus somewhere. Not for long, though. The posh kid reminds me of the kid from Gladiator, though it remains to be seen if he will be as much trouble as Lucius Verus was.
Barca's betrayal and the living little blonde boy are a nice twist, assuming the boy is genuinely alive, but oh look! a Roman orgy. Clearly, it had been too long since we'd seen one, though Spartacus has an ulterior motive and Drill Sergeant Guy isn't interested. Meanwhile, poor Crixus, the character I'm really interested in, lingers in a coma, and I am feeling distinct concern for Barca and his boyfriend (whose name I can't remember) as well. Spartacus, on the other hand, just lost all my sympathy in using his dying comrade as a tool in his plan, though I suppose Crixus might have agreed, given the opportunity.
I like the bit with the Falernian, though poor young boyfriend doesn't catch the threat in the bit about being brought closer to the gods, nor has he quite followed what's going on, poor kid. I'm warming to Drill Sergeant Guy as well, while wondering what religion/cult he belongs to, which involves wearing a stole. I hope Spartacus feels very, very guilty for being such a traitor to all his fellow gladiators (well, except for Neighbours Reject, who's in on it, but who's not happy about the plan either).
Oh dear, there goes Barca - now I'm really upset, the two gladiators whose names I actually knew are both dead or dying! Hmpf. I was really starting to root for Barca and his naive boyfriend as well. I'm guessing Drill Sergeant Guy will survive his encounter with some serious medicine, but the comaraderie will be ruined - how on earth will Spartacus lead an army when he's betrayed everyone around him?!
Surprise, surprise, the boy is dead after all and now JH feels really guilty. Good. It's very hard to be funny about this episode, though - it's so tragic, just one disaster after another. If Crixus dies, I think I'll be left with just Neighbours Reject and Drill Sergeant Guy to care about. Plus, we finally get to the disaster we've been waiting for for six weeks - dear old wifey is, to absolutely no one's surprise, dead as a doornail, or she is within a few minutes of bleeding all over Spartacus, anyway. Mum and I think John Hannah arranged it, and so does Xena, who seems OK with it.
In some ways, this episode was a bit of a case of one step forward, two steps back - for every instance of character development and real connection, there was a bit of gratuitous violence or almost-gratuitous sex (the prostitutes were, I have to acknowledge, part of Spartacus' plan). It's also terribly depressing, as just about everyone ends up miserable (even Xena and JH seem to feel a little bit guilty about poor old Barca). But then I suppose, since the series leads up to a rebellion, it does rather have to be a story of one disaster after another, though I'd expect to see Spartacus, the eventual leader, bonding more with his fellow gladiators by this point. It's also a shame to lose two central characters in one episode. All in all, a good episode, and it certainly moved the series forwards in leaps and bounds, but, well, a bit of a downer, to put it mildly. And I still don't know what's going to happen to Crixus!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hi-HatsSeptember 5, 2011 at 2:58 PM | Posted in cupcakes, recipe | 6 Comments
Tags: chocolate, hi-hats, peanut butter
… to ALL my dear cupcake freaks.
Labor Day always signals the end of summer for me. So the holiday is a little bittersweet. But it's Husband's 3rd most favorite holiday (besides #1 Thanksgiving and #2 Halloween). He loves any reason to get together with family, eat hamburgers from the grill and swim in Aunt Katie's pool.
Aunt Katie is Todd's aunt but even before we were married I was calling her Aunt Katie. When Aunt Katie told me that she loves chocolate+peanut butter (Who doesn't??), I knew EXACTLY what I was making for her combination Labor Day-Birthday party.
I got the idea from my friend, Stef's super delicious blog.
But you know me. I never follow directions. I always make changes. You can see Stef's recipe (here). You know it's bound to be delicious too.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Hi-Hats
Recipe adapted from Cupcakes by Martha Stewart and Cupcake Project
Makes 18 cupcakes
For one-bowl chocolate cupcakes
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups unsweetened Dutch process cocoa (I used E. Guittard unsweetened red dutch process cocoa)
1-1/2 sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup warm water
For peanut butter cream cheese frosting
2-8oz cream cheese, room temperature (I used Neufchatel 1/3 less fat instead)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Jif)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
For chocolate coating
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate)
3 tbsp peanut oil (I used vegetable oil)
To make cupcakes—
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare cupcake pan with liners.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking power and salt. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract and water.
Fill cupcake liners about 1/2-2/3 full. Bake for about 15-17 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
To make frosting—
In a stand mixer, fitted with a flat beater, cream the peanut butter, butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the powder sugar 1/4 cup at a time until you get the desired consistency and taste. Add vanilla extract.
Using a Magic Tip 9ST round tip, pipe cream cheese frosting onto cupcake. Freeze to set frosting while making chocolate coating.
To make chocolate coating—
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate and oil and melt over a saucepan of simmering water.
Stir until chocolate melted and smooth. Let cool for 15 minutes.
To assemble cupcakes—
Holding the cupcake upside down by the bottom, dip the cupcake into the chocolate until all the frosting is covered. (I think it's easier to take the liners off.) Let excess chocolate drip off.
Then let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes so the chocolate firms up.

He's a huge fan of chocolate+peanut butter like his aunt so I knew he'd love this one too.
