You can access this page from 'Help' link of top of minecraft.net. Contains answers for FAQ. This page also contains server statuses related to Minecraft (e.g. login server, multiplayer session server, and so on), but available from PC (not from smartphones).
Developer URLs[modifica | modifica sorgente]
Developer calls and URLs found by googling "site:minecraft.net" (Also posted on minecraftforum.):
Used to download resources for the client up to version 1.5.2, such as minecraft.jar.
Used to download resources for the client past version 1.6.2, such as minecraft.jar.
Used to check if an account is premium or not. Returns true if the username is a premium Minecraft account, returns false otherwise.
http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&version=12 OR http://login.minecraft.net/?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&version=12 OR https://login.minecraft.net/?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&version=12
The Minecraft launcher uses this to authenticate logins. If the username and password are valid for a premium account, returns "<POSIX time>:<hash of password???>:<username with correct capitalization>:<freshly generated session id>:". If username and password are invalid, returns "Bad login". If the username and password are correct, but the account isn't premium, returns "User not premium". If the given version number is less than 12, returns "Old version". The username is not case-sensitive, but naturally, the password is.
It is also possible to cause an error that breaks this page. See Breaking getversion.jsp for more info. (NB: Now fixed, returns "Bad request")
http://session.minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp?user=<USERNAME>&sessionId=<SESSION ID>
This link seems to be called when a server with online-mode=true checks if it should allow a player to join the game. The session ID is generated by the launcher when you log in (you can also generate them with the "getversion.jsp" link above). This URL will return "OK" if the given session ID is the last one to have been generated for that username; otherwise it will return "Bad login".
Directs the user to a page where they can choose if they want to change their skin to <URL>.
Returns the skin for a given username. Case-sensitive, returns an XML access denied page if the skin doesn't exist.
Returns the cloak for a given username. Behaves the same as above.
Returns a list of the latest game files that can be downloaded. The Minecraft launcher uses this to perform an update.
This is most likely used to create the classic server list. How the parameters work is unknown (not changed from what was found on the Google page), though some of them you could figure out. Returns a link to a classic server page (have not investigated the effects of the params on the link fully).
A test page that Mojang asked people to use as they worked on a new launcher for Minecraft. Runs a few processes in the browser, then starts a new version of the launcher, which will be downloaded to /.minecraft/launcher as launcher.jar (only known difference between this launcher and the normal one - this launcher has the new logo)
http://launch.minecraft.net/join.html?serverip=<SERVER IP>
This link gives a glimpse at a future feature to Minecraft. This page says that, in the future, it will be possible to have Minecraft open and connect to the server IP specified in the URL when you access this link. See it for yourself!
Contains a picture that is used when Minecraft.net is being updated.

Rambling about Santa, Christmas Morning & Le's sassy new bob!
So, back to Christmas :o)
This is the first year we really mentioned Santa much. I go back and forth with the whole Santa thing. For the last few years, Hillary Ashton has asked A LOT of questions about Santa. Honestly, I usually just try to blow her off :o) I know that the girls know that we celebrate Jesus' birthday at Christmas and the whole Santa thing is just a bonus. So I am not worried about them getting caught up in the Santa aspect and forgetting about the real reason we celebrate. I don't like "lying" to Hillary Ashton about Santa (Sophie Le has NO interest in Santa so no problem there!). Hillary Ashton is at such a critical age right now (5 1/2). She is asking questions about being saved, heaven, hell, Jesus, etc. My greatest fear is that if/when she finds out Santa (in the sense of delivering presents and being alive now) isn't real, she will question whether Jesus is real. Why believe mommy on this one since she "lied" about Santa...ya know? I answer her questions about Santa honestly according to the real person Saint Nicolas, but the whole bit about delivering presents and making toys at the North Pole always leaves me in a tight spot. When she asks specific questions about the logistics of Santa Claus, I usually just ask her what she thinks or tell her that we can look it up online :o) So all of this to say, we decided to make a bigger deal about Santa coming this year that we have in years past. This is the first year we have left cookies and the first year new presents were left by Santa. We really want them to have magical childhood memories :o) I am happy to report that they LOVED the traditions!
We spent Christmas morning and afternoon with my side of the family. We are so blessed to have family that will travel to our home for Christmas :o) It was nice to have the four kiddos at our home for Christmas morning. After we had lunch and packed our bags, we headed to Northeast Arkansas to celebrate with DH's family. Our Internet was down Christmas Day so we weren't able to check on the road conditions before we left. We thought SURELY the roads will be fine...it hadn't rained in two days...WRONG! Several highways were still closed so our drive was much longer than usual :o( This whole road closing thing is new to me...does this happen often? I just don't remember having this problem before.
Anyways, here are the pics from Christmas Day.
Hillary Ashton & Daddy reading the "thank you" note from Santa Claus :o)
Hillary Ashton was (and STILL is) beyond thrilled with the make-up kit and Barbie Doll Santa left for her.
Santa got the girls' stockings mixed up and this really threw Sophie Le for a loop :o) She is all about order and keeping things in line :o) That is a nervous smile...haha!
This was Julianne's FIRST Christmas! She was quite puzzeled by the whole present thing at first.
She didn't understand why ALL of the presents weren't hers!
Hillary Ashton was so excited to find "arm make-up" in her make-up kit! Haha! That's deodorant :o)
The girls' presents have been under the tree for a few weeks, but they were not labeled. The idea was to keep them from knowing which presents were for them to encourage them not to peek :o) Well, my big girls are smart...they knew exactly which presents were for them! Haha! Le's were wrapped in Mickey Mouse paper, Hillary Ashton in Charlie Brown paper, Julianne in Santa paper and Jonah in snowman paper.
Julianne really likes my dad :o) I guess you can see where Hillary Ashton gets her whole "closed eye" reaction to flash :o)
That's my mom...she tried to keep Jonah quite during the Christmas morning frenzy :o) Haha! He slept through everything :o) Luckily, the girls didn't mind opening up his presents for him :o)
Applying her mascara, right in the middle of present opening time! Santa got clear mascara...so smart :o)
Le was in super serious mode while opening presents...all business!
Hillary Ashton opening one of her presents...
Sophie Le coming to help...
Even little sister came to help!
Have you seen these Plasma cars? They are so cool!
Julianne couldn't wait for her turn!
Applying her "under-arm" make-up :o)
Christmas Dinner! Yummy!
That dish to the right is fruit salsa with cinnamon chips (made from flour tortillas). I had it at my cousin's wedding a month ago and it was SOOOOO good. I found the receipe online and was really happy with how it turned out. The girls LOVED it too. I plan on making it again soon.
The cousins at the Mimi and Papa's house
At one point, Julianne's present pile was talling than her :o) By the time Christmas night rolled around, she was WAY into presents :o)
At Neil's parents, presents are opened in rounds. Presents are opened one at a time, in age order. This concept is hard for some kids (Hillary Ashton and Julianne), but right up Sophie Le's ally. She loves order! She was so patient waiting on her turn and always knew when it was her turn :o)
This one doesn't like waiting for her turn :o) Haha!
Each of the girls got tutus with leotards. Big hit!
Aren't these boots the cutest? Hill's cousin Ally got them for Christmas. Hillary Ashton was trying them out :o)
So here it is...the new haircut!!
Before (I don't think you can tell from the picture, but her hair has gotten pretty long)
The back
Little bitty piggies :o)
Hillary Ashton is begging me to get her hair cut too. Daddy is "thinking about it" so stayed turned :o)

I am gettin' some of those suckers this weekend! I can't wait! I struggle with the idea of cutting DoriGrace's hair...it is a little much, already down to her bottom...but it is so pretty. LeLe's cut is DARLING! I'd LOVE to do that to Little Sister. (Like I have a say so anyway...Daddy says "No"!) BESIDES, she COULD.NOT possibly sit still for that...not enough candy bars in America for that one!

Hair cut is cute! I wish my family would go for the "Open one present at a time" idea. I spend weeks picking out the right present, wrapping them,...it just takes so long. And within 15 minutes it seems like it's all over. I missed getting to see them open their presents.

Oh! Her hair looks adorable! I wish Caleigh had some hair to cut! Hers is sooooo fine & grows SOOOO slowly...I don't know if she'll ever have enough hair for a haircut :0
LOVE Christmas Traditions. We believe in Santa, but I've never portrayed him as a real person...just for fun & the ones at the mall & stuff are just helpers for Christmas fun. Jesus was a real person who walked on Earth & IS REAL! She'll get it! The boys do....& they will stand up to anyone who says otherwise!!! Have a wonderful new year!

Local Girl Scout pays it forward
MODESTO, Calif. – Julisa Solorio was born 13 years ago…about 14 weeks earlier than planned. Now, 13 years later, she is repaying an act of kindness shown her mother during a very trying time.
For her Girl Scouts Silver Award project, Julisa organized a group to assist her in sewing 50 handmade baby blankets. She and her mom recently delivered the baby blankets to Memorial Medical Center's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and Memorial's staff were more than happy to accept them.
Julisa was born at 26 weeks and weighed 2 pounds, 3.8 ounces. "We were on vacation in Squaw Valley when contractions started," said Angelica Solorio, Julisa's mom. "I was directed to head closer to my doctor because they did not have the facility for such an early delivery." They got as far as Stockton. "She stayed in the NICU for the first two months of her life, but when she reached four pounds, she was finally discharged to go home with us," Angelica continued. "That was the happiest day of our lives!"
"I have shared this story with Julisa often, including how I treasure the handmade gown and blanket that was given to her while at the NICU during such a traumatic event for both her and us," said Angelica. "So, Julisa decided to do the same for the NICU in your hospital. We hope your babies and parents will enjoy them."
Julisa is a healthy and happy teenager now. She began in Girl Scouts as a Daisy in first grade, and is now a Cadette.
"We love to hear stories like this, where premature babies grow up and live healthy lives," said Thelma Camarillo, MMC's Maternal Child Health Manager. "It reminds all of us of the important work we do as we care for our smallest patients. We thank Julisa and her mom for sharing these wonderful blankets with us, and will remember their contribution to our NICU."

I suppose I still support the trade-off between the 5-insn MIPS I stubs (with extra-long variation for large PLT indices) and the absolute .got.plt address I used. And I still think it's shame we're treating STO_MIPS_PLT and STO_MIPS16 as separate; we then only have 1 bit of st_other unclaimed. However, IMO, your argument about MTI being the central authority is a killer one. The purpose of the GNU tools should be to follow appropriate standards where applicable (and extend them where it seems wise). So from that point of view, I agree that the GNU tools should follow the ABI that Nigel and MTI set down. Consider my patch withdrawn. TBH, the close relationship between CodeSourcery and MTI make it difficult for a non-Sourcerer and non-MTI employee to continue to be a MIPS maintainer. I won't be in-the-know about this sort of thing. I've been thinking about that a lot recently, since I heard about your implementation. I kind-of guessed it had been agreed with MTI beforehand (although I hadn't realised MTI themselves had written the specification). Having thought it over, I think it would be best if I stand down as a MIPS maintainer and if someone with the appropriate commercial connections is appointed instead. I'd recommend any combination of yourself, Adam Nemet and David Daney (subject to said people being willing, of course). Richard

Nero, the ancient Roman emperor, realized his number was up when he dreamt of being suffocated by a swarm of flying ants.
For Silvio Berlusconi, the billionaire Italian politician, and his family-controlled Mediaset company, the omens are likewise tilted to the downside.
From the 1980s, Mr. Berlusconi ruled the roost in Italy's commercial television industry. The market leadership of his Mediaset channels and of his Publitalia advertising agency combined with his political connections to create the most formidable concentration of power and profit seen in modern European business.
Mediaset's frothy mix of quiz shows, football matches, U.S. movies and Latin American soap operas was – in a land that jumped from semi-literacy to the TV set in one generation – an unbeatable formula.
But Mediaset's profit stream is trickling to a halt. It is dawning on investors that the company is no longer king of all it surveys. Having lost 60 per cent over the past year, Mediaset's share price sank this month to €1.31 ($1.69), its lowest since a 1996 stock market debut. Cost-cutting and reduced dividends are the order of the day.
This is no mere cyclical problem sparked by economic recession and an advertising slump in Italy and Spain, Mediaset's two markets. Management is struggling to keep abreast of three concurrent developments in its business environment: technological progress, shifting cultural tastes and a transformation of Italy's regulatory climate.
Technological change is symbolized by Sky Italia, the pay-TV satellite broadcaster that is part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Satellite TV was a minor force in Italy at the time of Sky Italia's launch in 2003. It seemed a remote prospect that this brash intruder would blast open the duopoly Mediaset shared with Rai, Italy's public sector broadcaster, over TV audiences and revenues.
But Sky Italia defied the odds. By 2009 it had 4.7 million viewers a day in a country of 60 million people and in February reported a small operating profit. It is more than a match for Mediaset's loss-making pay-TV business.
Today's challenge for Mediaset stems from Italy's switch to digital broadcasting and the proliferation of niche TV channels. Marco Paolini, Mediaset's strategic marketing director, predicts that Apple, Facebook and Google will present his company over the next three years with its most serious competition.
Coupled with Sky Italia's satellite platform, the new digital terrestrial channels are propelling the emergence of TV programs that depart from the unimaginative, not to say imbecilic, offerings of Mediaset and Rai.
Italians were once fed a diet of skimpily clad showgirls and politically contaminated news bulletins because that was what the duopoly served them night after night. Increasingly, viewers now have a choice and are exercising it.
A more ominous trend for Mediaset is the turning of the tide in Italy's regulatory environment. Parliament voted last month to auction new digital TV frequencies rather than give them away in a government-run "beauty contest."
Mr. Berlusconi was the brains behind the "beauty contest" idea, a scheme sure to have favoured Mediaset and Rai. But his resignation in November amid the euro zone debt crisis changed everything. His replacement was Mario Monti, who once enforced EU competition rules. What Mr. Monti does not know about unfair advantages in business can be written on the back of a Mediaset pay-TV card.
For a quarter of a century, Mediaset benefited from Mr. Berlusconi's power to shape Italy's regulatory framework. Few would deny his business acumen. But the first decade of Mediaset's supremacy owed much to his friends in high places such as Bettino Craxi, the late prime minister who fled to Tunisia in 1994 shortly before being convicted of corruption.
In that year, Mr. Berlusconi became premier for the first time, holding the job for a total of nine years between 1994 and 2011. During this era, he used Mediaset as a platform to advance his political career and parliament as a platform to advance his business interests. As he once airily observed: "If I, taking care of everyone's interest, also take care of my own, you can't talk about a conflict of interest."
But even before his resignation, there were warning signs for Mediaset. The European Court of Justice ruled last July that the subsidies Mr. Berlusconi's government had granted consumers to buy digital terrestrial TV decoders constituted illegal state aid on behalf of Mediaset.
One day Italy's economy will pick up, and so will Mediaset's ad revenues. But the days when Mediaset flourished because its owner ran the government are gone – and few people apart from its shareholders will miss them.

A predominant orange character with the lovely sweetness of pineapple.
Luxury Ingredients: Apple + Rosehip + Orange pieces, Hibiscus petals, Natural flavors.
Small Batch Blended and Packed in: Canada
Tea(s) From: Canada / USA / Thailand / Spain
Region(s): Ontario / California / Sing Buri / Seville
Antioxidant Level: Low
Caffeine Content: None - Caffeine Free Herb and Fruit
Brewing instructions:
Water: 8 oz.
Tea: 1 rounded teaspoon
Temperature: 212°F
Steeping Time: 5 - 10 minutes
2 oz. of tea yields approximately: 20 - 25 cups (8-10 oz.) of tea
Tea Profile:
Herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea. We formulated this blend to accommodate tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine. What we got was a terrific 'tea' that is unbelievably delicious and enjoyed Hot or Cold! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of orange and pineapple flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a wintertime summer reminder.
On the west coast of Canada in the province of British Columbia, there is a small Haida village at the end of a long fiord called Bella Coola. The water is crystal clear, the mountains rise to the sky from the water's edge, fishing boats head west towards the Pacific Ocean and bald eagles soar overhead screaming at those that dare to disrupt the tranquility. One bright cloudless day sitting at the town wharf contemplating life looking at the beauty and eating an orange Popsicle I realized that this was probably the tastiest Popsicle I had ever had in my life. The taste of Bella Coola is exactly like that Popsicle - the best herbal tea you will ever taste!
For a summer time drink Bella Coola iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For formal times garnish the glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint - for non-formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Bella Coola tea to make popsicles - they taste great and contain very little sugar.
By virtue of the fact that these blends do not contain any tea and are a special blend of fruits and herbs - they are caffeine free! An additional benefit is that these 'teas' contain Vitamin C. What could be better - a healthy drink that tastes GREAT!

Boehringer Ingelheim, maker of Pradaxa, has admitted to knowledge of 260 Pradaxa bleeding deaths worldwide from March, 2008 through October, 2011, after originally claiming only about 50 deaths. Now the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting a safety review of the drug to determine if it is more dangerous than the agency believed when it granted approval.
The FDA approved Pradaxa based on the results of a large clinical trial which was sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. According that trial, Pradaxa should carry about the same risk of serious bleeding events as the older drug warfarin. But the FDA is now questioning whether Pradaxa carries a higher risk of dangerous bleeding events than indicated by the study. It is evaluating post-market reports of Pradaxa bleeding events which have been submitted to its Adverse Events Reporting System (AERS) database.
So far, the effectiveness of Pradaxa is not in question, and the FDA cautions against going off the medication without talking to your doctor and getting an alternative prescription such as warfarin. People with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) have a very high risk of stroke if they do not take some kind of anticoagulant to prevent it.
If you or someone you love has been injured by Pradaxa, please call our Pradaxa injury attorney at 1-877-LOSS-RECOVER (567-7732) or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with a Pradaxa injury attorney is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations.

Jennifer Wells has a good article (as always) in the G&M today. With China set to host the Olympics in a few months, the stage is set for ramped up trouble and violence around the world. So, what happens next? According to Wells' piece, pressure is now being applied to the major sponsors of the event, like Coca Cola and McDonalds (you only thought they were sponsored by Steriods R Us) to pull rank, if not pull out.
To my mind, the Olympics are little more than the Oscars in runners. Once every couple of years for ten minutes, we get all weepy eyed when an athlete we couldn't have picked out of a not-very-crowded room the day before wins something 'for Canada'. For christsakes. 'We' had nothing to do with it. Our athletes are feebly funded, rarely supported, more rarely feted, and it seems like the height of hypocrisy to piggyback on their hard work once every four years in some borrowed blaze of glory.
And put plainly, modern Olympic glory is sullied. Peeing in a cup while a medal is being hung around your neck harkens more to modern lab than ancient Greece. Most of the athletes themselves want the medal to get the Wheaties box to get the speaker's circuit to get the coaching jobs. I don't blame them; but the fact the rest of us sit by and watch a country like China host this is boggling. It's like a murderer getting house arrest.
I'm a little touchy for other reasons. My recent read of Stolen Angels pointed out China's contentious involvement in Darfur - their lack of cooperation with the the rest of the world is directly causing the death of thousands of innocents in this volatile area. Here's a neat idea, China: you want to play with the rest of us, note the rules and learn to play well with others. For the same reason I'm sick of being in a country that backs a criminal like George Bush, I don't want to support another country that has so little respect for the global community, and indeed, its own backyard. We know about Tibet, FWIW.
China's ambassadors are in full force, and full froth. In Canada, we've been told to mind our own business. Oh, but continue being a massive trading partner for lead toy trains and poisoned toothpaste. In the U.S., check out this gobbledygook from the Washington Post: the Chinese ambassador wants to deploy peacekeepers to Darfur as 'soon as feasible'. Except, they are not 'in a hurry' for the motion to be drafted. Talk about sucking and blowing at the same time.
Unfortunately, while there is much blather that this is about sports, and not politics, that is so much hair splitting. You cannot possibly consider one without the other, and if there is no political will to support how most of us, you know, regular sorts, feel about genocide and war-for-oil, then we are left with the true rulers of our world: Coke and McDonalds. Olympics for the spirit of sports, my ass.
While it may be embarrassing that people like Ben Johnson win gold medals and Kevin Costner wins Oscars, this isn't about trophies and magazine covers. This is about a nation somehow held to different standards than the rest of us - with deadly consequences.

Turn Off Texting at GlobalFoundries
June 26, 2018
Sending thanks out to Heather Cotto and the GlobalFoundries safety team (Sam, Evan, Javier, Nate, Chris and volunteers!) for inviting Turn Off Texting to their Safety Day today! It was beautiful on the GlobalFoundries campus in Essex, and the warm welcome by everyone who participated made it special for us.

With the high production rates and affordability of diamond tools, more contractors than ever before are cutting, grinding, and coring concrete and masonry materials. Performing these tasks without water generates crystalline silica (quartz) dust. Once breathed in, the dust particles become embedded into the lungs and never leave the body. The smaller the particle, the deeper they penetrate into the lungs.
Silica dust exposure has been associated with COPD, tuberculosis, and lung cancer, the symptoms of which may take many years to appear. Concrete dust is now the "new" asbestos, and in many jurisdictions, the generation of concrete dust is considered a high risk activity that must be controlled and contained. It's not only the operator who is at risk. Area workers are also exposed to the dust that is invisible to the naked eye and remains airborne for hours.
Rental stores can help protect their customers from the effects of silica dust and increase their rental revenues by offering the following:
Vacuums. In vacuums, multiple filters collect concrete dust. Traditional shop vacuums, however, cannot filter out the fine dust and, instead, blow dust back out through the motor when filters clog, usually within minutes.
Two types of vacuum filter systems are employed to collect concrete dust: standard and HEPA. Standard filters remove fine dust down to .5 micron, and in many cases this is all that is required to protect operators and other workers in the area. For additional protection from fine dust particles, workers can wear the proper respirators, which provide another revenue opportunity.
HEPA filters remove dust down to .3 micron. Vacuums using these filters are mandatory in some jurisdictions, and are usually specified in applications involving work areas where food, computers, and delicate equipment are present.
There is a recognized global standard for HEPA filters. Each HEPA filter is individually tested using a DOP (Di-Octyl Phthalate) test and must be "signed off" by the testing agency or manufacturer. HEPA filters that are not individually tested are not considered to be "true" HEPA and are noncompliant. Since HEPA vacuums use a more expensive filtration system, they rent for more money than vacuums with standard filters.
Rubber skirts, dust ports, and shrouds
Some equipment manufacturers such as EDCO build rubber skirts and dust ports into their concrete floor grinding equipment as standard equipment. This allows the rental store to provide a vacuum with the grinder rental without having to modify the equipment.
Dust shrouds are available for hand grinders and some saws. When choosing a dust shroud, look for a tight fit. A loose fit will reduce suction, and require a larger vacuum to efficiently evacuate the dust. Also, look for a dust shroud with an adjustable skirt at the bottom. Too much space between the bottom of the shroud and the material will reduce vacuum flow and allow dust to escape. Ideally, a dust shroud with an adjustable skirt will facilitate proper suction and make the necessary allowances for diamond cup wear.
The industry is only now beginning to see the effects of silica dust on its workers. The disproportionate incidence of lung diseases among construction workers is alarming, and many government agencies are reacting by establishing strict guidelines for workers who come in contact with silica dust.
If silica dust control is not mandatory in your area, it soon will be. So take advantage of an opportunity to protect your workers and add a new revenue stream to your rental business.

(Pocket-lint) - Wind-up media players offer the promise of living free of mains sockets, at least some of the time. Trevor Baylis' Revolution, the second in his Eco Media Player series, lives up to the dream by giving you 45 minutes of music playback for every minute you crank its handle. It'll even charge five different brands of phone (Nokia included), returning approximately 3 minutes of talktime for every minute of winding.
The main improvements of this model over the first EMP are the higher storage capacity (4GB, up from 2GB), a better design (piano black rather than rubberised finish) and modestly tweaked interface (slightly easier than the original but still laborious compared to an iPod).
Features are impressive. Music playback is accompanied by decent-looking video, an FM radio capable of recording and a line-in socket that means you can record straight from a microphone or vinyl turntable onto the player.
Sound quality is reasonable rather than exceptional, though we recommend upgrading from the supplied earphones - they sound poor compared to the ones supplied with the iPod range. Thanks to a drag'n'drop interface, the Revolution works with both Macs and PCs; theoretically it should work with Linux too, but we've not been able to test that.
All told, the Eco Media Player Revolution is an intriguingly exotic gem in a sea of me-too MP3 players, but its price makes it hard to recommend over the iPod. At £130, it's £20 more than an iPod Nano with twice the capacity. However, if you are regularly away from charging sources and want an MP3 player with a green tinge, the Revolution should definitely be on your shortlist.

Propylene Glycol – Brake Fluid on Your Skin?
Vegetable glycerin and grain alcohol…they are two natural compounds that don't sound all that hazardous, but when created synthetically and then combined to create Propylene Glycol, they are transformed into a particularly nasty chemical that appears in a long list of skincare products. As one expert has written:
Mention Propylene Glycol (PG) to most people and they will probably tell you that it is a toxin. On the other hand, PG comes in more than one formulation, so it needs to be clarified as to which formulation is meant.
And what you discover as you delve into the issue of "formulation" is actually a lot of controversy and debate. In this report, we are going to look at the harmful formulation of Propylene Glycol in skincare and its potential risks to your health. We'll also explore just why it continues to appear in so many products and what you can do to begin avoiding it.
A Bit of Science
Before we delve into the issue of Propylene Glycol, its side effects and whether or not it is a toxin, let's spend a moment looking at the chemistry of the compound. As we said, it could be the by-product of a chemical blend of innocuous agents like mineral oil and alcohol. However, it is not so benign.
In fact, one specialist describes it like this:
Propylene glycol is the third 'product' in a chemical process beginning with propene, a byproduct of fossil fuel… Propene is converted to propylene oxide, a volatile compound used frequently in the creation process of polyurethane plastics… Propylene oxide is considered a 'probable carcinogen.' Finally, through a hydrolyzation process …you get propylene glycol.
It is a colorless liquid with a creamy texture and it is used in scores of cosmetic products and processed foods in addition to medications and even e-cigarettes. All of these products rely on it to provide a smooth texture and some stabilization.
So, it is not so innocent as a product made with mineral oil and grain alcohol, and the research around it is full of inconsistencies and arguments. This is because of that formulation issue we mentioned at the beginning. Essentially, this boils down to the percentage of solution in which it is used.
And though experts say that reactions or risks decline with lower percentages, there is plenty of evidence that it does cause problems. Let's consider that next…
Propylene Glycol Side Effects
Now, to begin with, let's get a bit of clarity around the issue of Propylene Glycol side effects. These will happen because it is a toxin, no matter what you might read or hear. It does not matter in the least if it is at its weakest solution or its most intense. It is toxic.
However, it is (as we learned) a mineral oil or vegetable glycerin and alcohol product that actually allows it to appear in some snack foods. Yet, it is also this same Propylene Glycol that appears in hydraulic and brake fluids. Yes, as the title of this article implied, Propylene Glycol can be something you might find yourself applying to your skin. So, there is a bit of truth in suggesting that you are putting an ingredient in brake fluid on your body.
Technically, it is designated as a form of carbohydrate when it is in one grade, and as an industrial compound at another. There is the industrial grade that is the one you'd find in everything from that brake fluid already mentioned to such places engine coolants, airplane de-icers, antifreeze, paint or varnishes, polyurethane foams and in any number of surfactants and solvents.
Then, there is the pharmaceutical grade of Propylene Glycol, and it is far less concentrated. However, it is not without its detractors because it is still a toxin and still being used in products you might coat your skin with or even eat. It is used in such products as topically applied compounds, oral or injectable drugs and many snack foods.
So, what's the big deal? Is Propylene Glycol safe for your skin or is it a risky ingredient?
This is where so much of the debate around Propylene Glycol seems to focus. The U.S. FDA has repeatedly labeled it "safe" or Generally Recognized as Safe (its GRAS designation). Some lab studies have shown that laboratory animals fed Propylene Glycol did not develop cancer, which allowed certain cosmetic ingredient agencies to say that it was okay to use in beauty products and cosmetics. The current concentration permitted by such agencies is a 50% or less solution.
So, it doesn't cause cancer…that's a good thing, right? Of course, but that does not mean that there are no risks associated with Propylene Glycol. After all, it takes moments of researching it to see such issues as:
- Propylene Glycol dermatitis – Studies have repeatedly shown that one of the most unrecognized causes of contact dermatitis is the presence of Propylene Glycol dermatitis in the product's formulation.
- Propylene Glycol allergy responses – People with eczema or skin allergies typically respond very badly to compounds with Propylene Glycol, even when the concentration is well below that 50% threshold.
- Skin, liver and kidney damage – The MSDS or Material Safety Data Sheet for Propylene Glycol specifically mentiones that direct contact with the compound (which it describes as hazardous) can cause an array of damages to the skin, liver and kidneys.
- Propylene Glycol skin irritation – Additional studies published in the National Institutes of Health showed that Propylene Glycol may be a good solvent "which has, simultaneously, moisture-regulating, antiseptic, and preservative effects" but that it also creates skin reactions of an allergic nature – these include hives and blisters in addition to the eczema like allergy responses mentioned above.
- Risky to pregnant women and children – One thing that the research around Propylene Glycol does way is that its effects vary from person to person. This is why it is just best to avoid using it (as it is so readily absorbed by the skin) if pregnant, breastfeeding or on infants. Infants in particular may be at risk because their bodies do not have the ability to break down toxins at the same rate as an adult. This is why chemicals must never be used if and when at all possible.
On top of the Propylene Glycol skin allergy symptoms and other harmful responses, there are certain agencies that describe it as a "moderate hazard". For example, one website notes:
The Cosmetics Database finds Propylene Glycol to be a moderate hazard ingredient and has concerns regarding cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, allergies and immunotoxicity, irritation and enhanced skin absorption, and organ system toxicity. Lesser concerns include neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption.
The same sites notes that another group recommends that anyone with eczema avoid using products that contain it and that it can enhance the penetration capacity of other agents. This is just as great a risk since it can mean that toxins, unwanted chemical ingredients and potentially harmful compounds in a product are able to be absorbed far more readily and wreak much more damage.
The Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. also warns anyone working with the compound to avoid skin contact as it may result in "brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities".
Still, the FDA does allow it to appear, and there are many cosmetics products containing Propylene Glycol at the 50% concentration or less. This should be of interest to those concerned about the safety of anything with Propylene Glycol. This is because other parts of the world, particularly throughout Europe, it is limited mostly to non-food items and even then in smaller amounts.
It is important to note that it is not what is known as bioaccumulative. What that means is that it does break down in the body. This is unlike many of the most unwelcome and harsh chemicals in cosmetics and beauty products. Instead of building up in the tissue, it actually breaks down and passes out of the body within 48 hours. If you have compromised kidney or liver health, it may be slower, but it never builds up in the body or tissue.
Unfortunately, such staid and reputable groups as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have done studies and also held with the FDA, claiming there are not "major" health issues found. Yet, that same group also said that there are no actual studies to prove whether there are "respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, dermal, ocular, or body weight effects in humans, or musculoskeletal, dermal, or ocular effects in animals after oral exposure to propylene glycol."
In other words, they are giving it a green light though they are unable to point to studies demonstrating that it is safe. In fact, the research that does exist in the CDC's files includes only that done on lab animals, and most of these studies are more than 60 years old.
However, the CDC does give Propylene Glycol a thumbs down where neurological issues are concerned and there were a number of subjects found to suffer everything from convulsions to "mental symptoms" when exposed.
So, regardless of the obvious signs that Propylene Glycol might be better off removed from anything applied to or ingested in the human body, it is still out there and in widespread use at many different concentration levels.
Does that mean you won't find Propylene Glycol free cosmetics? No, actually, there are many Certified Organic cosmetics and Certified Organic skincare that promote their chemical free status. Do be aware that you are always going to want to scout out Propylene Glycol free skincare products, and not products that do feature it but at a lower quantity.
As one expert on non-toxic cosmetics has said:
The question comes down to more of a quantity issue. In small amounts, used infrequently, propylene glycol may not have negative health effects. If one wants to be on the safe side, though, there are alternatives.
Those alternatives are the many all natural cosmetics created to help you avoid the harmful chemicals in cosmetics.
Enjoying Chemical Free Cosmetics
As we just said, the use of Propylene Glycol is a bit controversial. This is due entirely to the fact that official agencies like the FDA have said it is generally safe at that recommended concentration. Yet, groups like the EPA warn against direct skin contact NOT because of irritation but because the exposure may lead to major issues with the health of the brain, liver and kidneys. We also learned that many of the CDC studies are out of date and not done with human participation.
This just all points to the need for anyone concerned with health and well-being to seek out chemical free cosmetics, and especially those without Propylene Glycol of any kind. The non-chemical cosmetics industry is well aware of consumer demand for such goods and makes any number of skin washes, shampoos, bath products, health and beauty aids and cosmetics without it.

Back for the Attack: LUND Mania Tournament Returns to Ottertail
OutdoorHub 06.18.12
Now in its fourth year, the annual LUND Mania Tournament has become a don't-miss event for LUND boat owners across the Midwest. Sponsored by the New York Mills C&C (Civic & Commerce), Lund Boat Company and a host of additional local and industry sponsors, the annual tournament has become part tradition, part camaraderie, and a fun opportunity to fish against walleye legends like Al Lindner, Gary Roach, Scott and Marty Glorvigen, Ted Takasaki, Perry Good, and more. Of course, it doesn't hurt that LUND Mania Tournament awards boats to the top three finishers along with thousands of additional dollars in prizes.
Nevermind that Ottertail Lake is a walleye factory with an amazing day bite—where, on just about any given day, 'eyes can be caught shallow, deep or in-between throughout the 14,000-acre lake. Makes the perfect playground for pulling from a tactical arsenal that includes jigging, rigging, cranks and you-name-it. Ottertail walleyes are hungry—and eat it all.
Of course, this kind of fishery poses a unique challenge to anglers. And on Friday, July 6, between the hours of 7:00 am and 2:00 pm, the six best walleyes will win the best boats, three models from LUND.
- 1st Place: LUND 1675 Impact SS with Mercury 60 ELPT EFI 4 Strike and Shoreland'r trailer
- 2nd Place: LUND WD-14 with a 9.9 ELH 4 Stroke and Shoreland'r trailer
- 3rd Place: LUND A-14 Utility boat and Shoreland'r trailer
Located just minutes from Ottertail Lake, New York Mills-based LUND Boats takes conservation and community very seriously. 2012 LUND Mania is a Catch, Record & Release tournament that relies on a network of non-competing spotters to help validate and photograph eligible tournament fish.
LUND Boats marketing manager Tony Kolker says, "Once again, we're excited to be part of a tournament that recognizes LUND boat owners from across the country, recreational anglers, amateurs and pros alike. It's also a real honor to work hand-in-hand with the New York Mills C&C and local and industry-related businesses, as well as showcase one of the finest walleye destinations in the country."

In a nutshell, this seasoning is being recalled because the seasoning contains a beef product and China is ineligible to export beef to the U.S. This is a class II recall, low danger.
From the FDA press release
April 29, 2009 – Lion Pavilion, Ltd., a Brooklyn, NY establishment, is recalling approximately 16,213 pounds of seasoning products, which contain cattle by-products, that were ineligible for import to the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The firm is recalling these products because China is not eligible to export beef products to the United States.
The products subject to recall include:
–14-ounce packages of "Lion Pavilion HOT-POT SEASONING CONTAINING BOVINE CATTLE FAT."
The beef products were imported from China and sent to retail establishments nationwide.
The problem was discovered after FSIS personnel identified the products in the marketplace. FSIS has received no reports of illness as a result of consuming this product.
Consumer with questions regarding the product or the recall should be directed to Lion Pavilion's manager, Jeannette Chen, at 718-384-6951.

Youth Off the Streets founder Fr Chris Riley says that he could not get a mention for the subject of child abuse at last weekend's 2020 Summit and accused summit facilitators of pushing their own agendas.
Fr Riley also criticised World Vision Australia chief Tim Costello, who co-chaired the Strengthening Communities stream with federal Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek, The Australian reports.
According to the Summit final document participants discussed "the damage inflicted on communities by problem gambling and binge drinking" and supported "reducing the number of poker machines or tighter regulation of alcohol".
But Fr Riley said: "I didn't hear the words 'gambling' or 'poker machine' at any stage of my time there."
"I don't know how that got in. I'm really concerned about leadership in this field. Tim Costello's got his own agenda, and it's just not appropriate."
Fr Riley told The Australian he could not even get the subject he had come to the summit to discuss, child abuse, included on any of the sheets of butchers' paper the facilitator used to list ideas.
Child abuse expert Freda Briggs, from the University of South Australia, agreed with Fr Riley, the paper says.
"I pointed out that abused children in this country are severely disadvantaged, especially when they get into the justice system," Professor Briggs said.
"The facilitator snapped and said, 'I am not going to write that down'. From the very beginning, the discussion topics were preordained. Chris and I were systematically silenced.
"Having listened to other people talk about disadvantage - refugees, migrants, lesbians not having equal rights - nobody mentioned children all day."
Professor Briggs confirmed she "did not hear gambling being talked about at all".
A spokesman for Mr Rudd said last night the final text of the summit's initial report was "finalised by agreement between the co-chairs of the individual streams".
A spokesman for Ms Plibersek told The Australian: "The 2020 Summit facilitators worked very hard to ensure that, as much as possible, all summit participants had an opportunity to be heard."
Bright ideas fade under controversy (The Australian, 23/4/08)

As the clock tick, tick, ticks toward the June 30 transfer of power to a pseudo-sovereign Iraq, President Bush laid out a five-point plan to boost his bum approval rating.
Apart from some creative pronunciation of those pesky words Abu Ghraib,* the embattled CEO of Democracy R Us did not waver from reciting each word that had been written for him. (Good news about Abu, Bush aims to demolish the notorious torture house and Halliburton has stepped up to do the job for just $1.2 billion.)
Iraq's conversion to a Halliburton-based economy will be aided by a transitional Iraqi government comprised of guys who don't mind having a terrorist bull's eye painted on their headgear.
National elections will come soon enough. But first it is vital to teach Iraqi politicians how to divert millions into their campaign war-chests and slime their opponents with negative ads. Presidential candidates will also need seminars on how to exploit family connections and use the Supreme Court to seize power.
Supporters say Bush's credibility in handling the war is heightened now that he has been wounded in the line of duty. He's not bragging about it, but the president received a Purple Chin after the bicycle he was piloting was brought down by some rogue freedom-hating loose soil. (Undaunted, Bush reportedly leapt up and asked if the crash could be linked in any way to Saddam Hussein.)
His battle wounds patched and powdered, President Bush said, "A free Iraq will always have a friend in the United States of America." As a bonus, they get a new Big Brother too. The commander-in-church closed with his traditional heavenly high note. "May God bless conservative, heterosexual, pro-life, pro-war America."
* A poll revealed that 72% of all viewers winced when the president said "Abu Jimbob."

Footy Memories
I have recently signed up to be a contributor to an online footy and sports website, journal: Footy Almanac. The Footy Almanac was founded by John Harms and Paul Daffey. They invite contributions from anyone interested in writing for their website – but, primarily, it seems about sport and more specifically about footy – i.e. Australian rules football. Once having signed up, I looked at a few other contributions and saw that the average length of the short stories or essays was around 800-1000 words. I submitted an essay related to an earlier essay of mine published on Kunci's website.
I made this essay a little more personal, using 'I' a little more. I edited out some of the repetition. I was pleased with this opportunity to publish a new version of the essay as it would reach a more contextual audience. A few people have commented on my submission. Moreover, the editing process was particularly transparent. I checked the submission page and saw that one of the editors had left comments regarding the language used and one other matter. He had left his name and so I knew who the editor/proofreader was. Indeed, this is not an academic journal and the articles are not checked blindly. But, it went up in a matter of days and the feedback happened within the first twelve hours of it being published. This website prides itself on its openness, informality and speed in contrast to the slowness and formality of refereed journals.
This is the first paragraph:
If I remember Melbourne, I remember footy. I remember that footy is ubiquitous and omnipresent. I remember that it defines the rhythms of the city. I remember the visuality of footy: the bold type of newspaper headlines adorned with players and clubs names. The generic footy attire and the bravado with which it is worn. "I'm going to the footy, I'm part of the team. I have had my bears, my steak. I'm going to the footy." Going to the footy takes on a particularly assertive gait, "get out of my way, the footpath is mine and me mates."
The rest can be found here.
The image above is by Jim Pavlidis. This is his website: jimpavlidis.com. He makes paintings, illustrations and drawings. One of his paintings was used for the cover of the 2011 (print) edition of The Footy Almanac. For me, his works evoke something quiet, subdued and learned from footy in Melbourne. He draws footy, sport and their players, doers – and the city – in an idealised and clarified manner. The Melbourne of his images is my ideal Melbourne. A quiet city when one wants it to be quiet, noisy and boisterous when wants to be amongst a crowd.
The Footy Almanac is produced collectively and by amateurs; by lovers of the game. Perhaps it is for those who want to test out their knowledge of the game, and their sense of it. Perhaps it is also born out of the frustration with the mainstream footy and sporting media. The AFL's own website is incredibly bland; they have to protect their image. The Age is dominated by their few journalists. The ABC – well, some of their journalists aren't footy enthusiasts. The Footy Almanac offers a relatively egalitarian and only lightly mediated avenue for reading and writing on footy. The qualities of light editing, the direct feedback and input of The Footy Almanac are to be appreciated.

I attended a reception hosted by the charity Beating Bowel Cancer to hear the case for reducing the bower cancer screening age.
Variations in the screening age across the UK could be leading to thousands of bowel cancer patients in their 50s having a delayed diagnosis.
Beating Bowel Cancer is calling for the screening age in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to be lowered from the age of 60 to 50, to bring it in line with the screening age in Scotland.
I was interested to hear Beating Bowel Cancer's plans for the future of screening and pledged my support for them.
We all need to do our bit to support any improvements to early diagnosis rates if we are to stop bowel cancer being one of the biggest cancer killers in the country.
Being diagnosed with bowel cancer at the earliest stage offers a 97% survival rate. But without screening, the majority of patients between 50 and 59 might not be diagnosed until a later stage through their GP or A&E. At that point the cancer can be more difficult to treat and if diagnosed at a late state their survival odds could be as low as 7%.
To find out more about bowel cancer please visit the charity's website www.beatingbowelcancer.org or call their Nurse Helpline on 020 8973 0011.

"Going shopping for a toy with Lucy is something we do quite often. We always let her pick out the toy she wants… she actually will get up on the lower shelf (it's one that she can reach easily) and she will sniff and search for what she thinks is the perfect toy! She will sniff several before she makes her decision. As soon as she finds what she thinks is the perfect toy, she latches onto it and is ready to leave. We let her take it to the register counter and she really tries to be patient while the clerk is ringing up her toy. She watches contently and as soon as her Papa hands down the toy to her she grabs it and is ready for the front door! She will strut out that door like she is on a mission and heads straight for the car. Lucy loves her toys and we will continue to take her shopping. Shopping is not the only thing she likes to do! We can add swimming and playing ball in our pool. Lucy is a very unique little dog and is totally oblivious to her size. She thinks she is just as big as any of the big dogs and she will let them know it."

Beijing: China's Cultural Heart
Smith, Nick, Geographical
CHINA As the capital of China for more than 1,000 years, Beijing is renowned for its cultural heritage, architecture, cuisine and linguistic diversity. But as the city prepares for the 2008 Olympics, it's undergoing a dramatic transformation: the government is spending more than 20billion [pounds sterling] on improving road and rail links to the airport alone, and developers are building a new luxury hotel almost every week. While the games represent one of the greatest economic boosts modern China is ever likely to receive, they could also spell the loss of what makes Beijing unique. Nick Smith documents the calm before the storm
A uniformed security guard stands on duty at Tian'anmen Gate at the north end of Tian'anmen Square. The gate marks the entrance to the Gugon, otherwise known as the Forbidden City. Literally a door between two worlds, it connects imperial and Communist China, and is still seen by Chinese authorities as a sensitive area today. The sign says 'Long live the People's Republic of China'
The Dahongmen, or Great Red Gate lies at the beginning of a seven-kilometre avenue known as the Spirit Way that was built for the funeral processions of the Ming-dynasty emperors; the Great Wall of China at Juyong a few hours drive from Beijing. The wall is also known as Wan Li Changcheng, or the Wall of 10,000 Li, a reference to a Chinese unit of measurement that equates to 500 metres; some of the finest examples of Ming-dynasty sculpture can be found along the Spirit Way. Dating back to the 15th century, these huge statues depict both human figures and a series of real and mythical animals. Their significance is unclear; Looking west to a classic pagoda over the frozen Lake Kunming at the Summer Palace, Beijing
A lion statue in the Forbidden City; every year, thousands of people flock to Beijing to look for work. …

I'm taking on a big big project this year. If you follow me, you'll know how much I love love Christmas. So this year I'm planning to take on a December daily. I love this idea of documenting such a magical time and I've watched endless videos of different styles. This year I'm trying something that I was inspired by Nicolejones911. She makes a December daily/project life, please watch her awesome work HERE.
I don't have the space of the time to make a special album for just December as I've seen many do. So I'll be using 12x12 pocket pageprotectors to go with my usual project life album. Only I'm changing the spread from weekly to daily. I'm using Lawn Fawn Snowy day collection from 2014 as my main inspiration. I've already cut the 12x12 papers in to 4x6 cards. For the 3x4 I'll cut up one of those as I go. Please have a look at some of the supplies I've put together, but I'll expect to add things as I go depending on the mood - plus, I have another box of Christmas supplies that is still hidden deep in the closet. You just wait until I get my hands on those goodies - LOL!
To start, I wanted the numbers for the days to look the same through out the month and I run until the 31st of Dec, so I thought I give it a go to make my own numbers - what a great way to actually use all my fancy tools - LOL! I'll admit, it took a while - but I'm so happy with the result. I'll do this for next year as well. I cut the numbers from heavy cardstock, both bazzill and neenah from the store will work great. The color is up to you, I used white, but the embossing powder will cover it. You might be able to save time here, if you have a more efficient method than me. But I just embossed half the number at the time, by simply dipping my number in the jar directly and then turning it after heat embossed it and repeated the process. I've had this embossing powder forever, it's gorgeous, I expected to make quite a dent, since I used it for so many numbers, but no...
