Oftentimes people do not realize the cost of environment destruction, or they have been compensated (or bribed) by companies to make the destruction worthwhile. In many cases few people are aware of the fact that there are other options, and other employment opportunities.
An example is found in a village near coal mining activities in Meratus Mountains, South Kalimantan. Rivers in the region, which the population heavily depend on for daily activities, are polluted, while agricultural lands have been converted for mining activities. Residents live within earshot of noise from the mining activities.
A mechanism for enforcing the rules against environmental destruction is of course important, but without support from locals, there will always be a black market to destroy the environment, and companies will continue providing handsome compensation to the people who support their activities.
What's the solution?
Education is key. We need to be able to convince those most intimately connected to the environment that they do not benefit from its destruction.
We have to work from the demand side. For example, people in the United States are very aware of the health risks posed by smoking. Demand for cigarettes in the US consequently is relatively low. Cigarette companies in many cases have marketed more aggressively in other countries where people are not as aware of smoking risks. They go to Indonesia to enjoy a market of consumers who are less health-conscious.
Similarly, companies in need of forest areas go to the countries where the people are not aware of the cost of destroying the environment — or to where they can be compensated to allow it. Companies continue burning forests because this method gives them lucrative profit.
One way to convince them to adopt different methods is to cut into this profit. In the case of the haze, this would mean drawing attention to those products that result from slash-and-burn agriculture. A conscientious consumer is part of the solution.
At the same time, we must support the local people. We must create alternative employment, so that populations dwelling near forests know that there are other opportunities that can give them at least as good an income as those that are harmful for the environment. A third step we can take is to create productive employment that depends directly on the healthy biodiversity of the local environment.
If these three policies are well implemented, companies will find burning forests a less attractive option because of lack of demand for their goods and a lack of compliance on the part of local populations. The people in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia would no longer suffer from the haze of forest fires, and the people responsible for making them would no longer have special incentive to do so.

How much should a millionaire pay in taxes? President Obama says it should be 30 percent of income. Warren Buffett says it should be at a higher rate than his secretary, who he claims pays at a rate of 35 percent. But his assertion is misleading. There is a big difference between one's marginal tax rate and her effective tax rate.
It is unlikely that Buffett's secretary pays an effective tax rate higher than he does. If her adjusted gross income is above $379,150, she would have a marginal tax rate of 35 percent. But not all of her income was taxed at that rate. There are currently six tax brackets starting at 10 percent. It is possible that the last portion of her income, her marginal income, could place her in the 35 percent bracket but her effective tax rate is much lower. By using different rates for comparison and not identifying appropriate tax terminology, Buffett has been engaging in an expensive charade.
For instance, let's say a married couple earns $80,000 but after taking personal exemptions, standard or itemized deductions, payments into a retirement fund and maybe three or four nice tax credits, they could have a federal tax liability of $4,000. They are in the 15 percent tax bracket as far as marginal tax rate is concerned, but would have an effective tax rate of 5 percent when all of their income is considered ($4,000/$80,000 of income).
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was on the defensive after he admitted he paid less than 15 percent on his earnings. He need not be embarrassed. Very few Americans pay 15 percent for their federal effective tax rate, and most pay far less. The Tax Policy Center estimates that the average effective tax rate for all households is 9.3 percent.
About half of all Americans pay a zero percent effective rate. Most are not even aware that they pay no income tax with a refund larger than all of their federal income withholding. Working families with modest wages can get back as much as $3,000 or $4,000 more in refund than they paid in income taxes. In some cases, it is enough to cover not just their income tax but even the payroll taxes paid.
Buffett, while claiming he should be taxed at a higher rate, has been in a legal dispute for 10 years between the IRS and his company, Berkshire Hathaway, over $1 billion in back taxes. What hypocrisy! Why not just go ahead and pay it if he feels he is not taxed enough?
It needs to be repeated again and again that millionaires already pay the bulk of American income taxes. Tax statistics by The Tax Policy Center of the left-leaning Brookings Institute show that those in the top one-fifth of all taxpayers paid 89 percent of the taxes in 2010. At the very top of this group, the super rich, those with incomes of $1.9 million or more, paid 16.4 percent of the income taxes even though they are only one-one thousandth of the population.
Using this same data, Jeffrey Anderson noted in an article in the Weekly Standard recently that the top 0.1 percent of tax filers paid more in income taxes than the bottom 80 percent. Think about those two numbers for a while.
Millionaires are not stupid. Does the president think that these successful people will just stand by and let the government double down on the amount of taxes they are already paying? Millionaires will figure out, or at least their lawyers and accountants will figure out ways to avoid any new, large tax increases. This might include moving more money outside of America, investing in tax free bonds, or otherwise finding ways to shield their income. All of which will be negative for economic growth.
Further, the White House had to admit that the enactment of the so-called Buffett Rule would raise less than $5 billion a year in revenue, or about one-tenth of 1 percent of 2012 federal spending. This demonstrates that the Buffett rule is not about tax revenue but rather politics.
The president's rhetoric regarding taxes is very harmful. It appears that he is using envy as a tool to gain political advantage in misleading the American people. Envy is not a sound basis for social and financial policy.

Rat Monoclonal Antibody
Brand: Affymetrix eBioscience 25-0495-82
Additional Details : Weight : 0.25000kg
DescriptionDescription: The eBioGoH3 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and human CD49f, also known as integrin alpha 6, very late activation antigen 6 (VLA-6 alpha chain), and platelet gpIc. CD49f is a 120 kD transmembrane protein. CD49f associates with CD29, the integrin beta 1 chain, to form the VLA-6 complex; CD49f also associates with CD104, the integrin beta 4 chain, to form the alpha 6 beta 4 complex. CD49f is expressed primarily on T cells, monocytes, platelets, epithelial and endothelial cells. CD49f expression has also been found on germinal center B cells. The eBioGoH3 antibody is cross-reactive to integrin alpha 6 on human, mouse and bovine cells. This antibody has also been reported to have functional activity in blocking the binding of integrin alpha 6 to laminin.Applications Reported: This eBioGoH3 (GoH3) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: This eBioGoH3 (GoH3) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive photo-induced oxidation.

Just to back up a little....We did a complete tear off and rebuild of all our exterior decking twenty two months ago. This link will take you to all the fun and games of the demolition experience! The picture below is just a sample:
The rebuilding was done shortly after by professionals in the late summer and early fall of 2010. I did have a blog post on that as well but it seems to have disappeared off of Blogger! (I would not have deleted that!)
The fall rainy season started with a vengeance right after they completed the work so all the planned sanding and protective finish coat didn't happen. The next summer, for various reasons, it didn't happen again. I think it was all about our attention and money being redirected to the drilling of a new well and then all the plumbing that goes along with that! A good reason, but still the deck needs to finished properly to protect the investment.
Various health and joint issues for both of us meant that kneeling, and a lot of bending were pretty much out for both of us and we would have to either hire painter to come and do it or simply learn to like the grayed cedar look.
Enter the Friends....
Lynnette and Ngaire had come to help with getting all the new cords back onto my Woolhouse Tools loom recently. This was amazing all by its self.... but when they were leaving that day, they also volunteered to come back and paint the decks! No small feat as between upper and lower portions, it measures up as roughly 1400 to 1450 square feet! (just the size of it all has been an intimidating factor for Hubby and I).
They assured us that they had a system of the three of them working together in a 'tag team fashion' and they could get it done in two days and with two coats.
We were speechless at this generous offer. There is only a short window of warm sunny weather to get it done before the rains fall again and so we booked it for mid August, amidst busy schedules for both families.
We crossed our fingers that the weather would hold and also not be too hot.
They arrived bright and early this past Thursday and got to work right away while we had shade around the house. We had had the decks power washed by Colin and generally cleared off. We had lost all the grayed wood and were new cedar wood bright again. Choosing a colour for the semi transparent stain was difficult as we did not want to go with the orangey cedar tones or the brassy yellow tones. We choose Behr brand stain in terracotta and even lucked into a sale, with a mail in rebate! Out of ten gallons we bought, it was like we got two gallons for free.
The weather held and were some of the hottest days this summer! They moved from place to place depending on the sun and worked in shadier spots as the day progressed. Being surrounded by tall trees was an advantage for once.
Here's Lynnette and Bruce working on the front porch.
Michael admiring his handiwork on the stairs.
Ngaire, being a garden faerie sitting in (and on) the marjoram under the stairs. Sorry for the fuzzy picture but its the only one I have of her working for some reason.
The second coat went on much quicker and Michael started about 7 am the second morning! Its a good thing too as it turned out to be an even hotter day that the one before. They were done ahead of lunch time and I had cold cuts and salads all ready to go. That was my main job ... feeding and refreshing the troops! I had made up a lot of salads and soups from scratch and even the ice tea was home made.
The decks still need some minor touch ups and some awkward spots need a second coat but it's minor stuff. There's even a gallon of stain left. It has a 72 hour cure time so its sitting the time out and is even dog free for a couple more days. It looks amazing! (I must admit that we will now have to change the colour of the house fascia boards and belly boards to black and most likely even the window trims. The fascia boards and gutters need replacing anyhow. Then it will look like we actually had a plan! :)

I'd never before heard of a beret referred to as a tam. But I like it. So, tam it is. This tam was inspired by a cute dusty burgundy (is that even a color?) that Daisy wore on the last episode (aired in the US. I know, you Brits are way ahead of us).
|Hey, Girl, Watch PBS With Me?
I have been seriously loving 20's inspired hats for a while now and I didn't quite know why. Now that I am caught up with season 3 of Downton Abbey (I know, I need to go back and watch the first two), well, who can blame me? The downstairs girls' hats are so much easier to figure out how to crochet....I need to work on some crocheted versions of the fancier upstairs hats!
I love this tam, don't you? Here is my version of it. The yarn is 100% cotton, brown yarn. I still need to write down my pattern. Lucky for me, its easy!
Its smaller than Daisy's hat. It fits closer to the head, not so slouchy. And I think its freaking ADORABLE!

I have another one in a tangerine color that I am working on. Oh, there are many more to come! And, maybe some removable flowers to go with them?

Since I am not wearing any make up for this photo, I decided to go vintage-y here. Calms down the ruddy complexion, lol!

BOSTON (AP) Ryan Anderson scored seven of his game-high 29 points during a 14-2 game-clinching run to lead Boston College to an 84-70 win over Florida International in the schools' season opener on Sunday.
Anderson, voted on the Atlantic Coast Conference's all-freshman team last season, added 17 rebounds.
Dennis Clifford, Olivier Hanlan and Patrick Heckmann each scored 12 points for Boston College, which spoiled FIU's Richard Pitino Jr.'s debut as head coach.
Jerome Frink paced FIU with 22 points with 10 rebounds, and Malik Smith had 16 points.
Pitino Jr., son of the longtime Louisville coach, was the youngest coach ever hired in FIU's basketball program when he got the job at 29-years old in April.
The Panthers wiped out a 16-point halftime deficit, tying it on Smith's 3-pointer with 8:45 to play.
But BC responded with its game-breaking run, started by an Anderson jumper.

Virus / Inferno dei morti viventi / Hell of the Living Dead / Zombie Creeping Flesh / Apocalipsis caníbal
Das blinkenlights
Just how much becomes evident as two technicians discover a dead rat in what is supposed to be a sterile area, before the creature reanimates, climbs inside one of the men's protective suits and bites him to death.
The reanimating agent and the zombies that result sweep through the facilty with alarming celerity until no-one is left alive.
Zombie technicians / technocrats and natives
Professor Barrett does, however, manage to put out a final message, indicating that "Operation Sweet Death" must be considered a failure and pleading "may God forgive us and pardon us for this evil that we have created."
The next sequence presents a stand-off between a "terrorist" group, who have taken the US consulate hostage, and the authorities, who are preparing to send in an elite four man SWAT team, comprising Lieutenant Mike London and his men, Osborne, Vincent and Santoro to deal with the situation.
The SWAT team
They do so, without particularly worrying about whom they are killing nor the terrorist's demand that the Hope Centres be shut down and dying delivery that they are all doomed, their attentions being more focused on New Guinea vacation they are given as a reward.
The team soon have cause to doubt their masters, find themselves deposited in the middle of nowhere without radio contact: "You can always count on the government for a perfect example of organisation," as London says. (Coincidentally the SWAT team then proceed by "dead reckoning," the same name as is given to the battle-bus in Land of the Dead.)
Meanwhile investigative journalist Lia Rousseau – a reference to the enlightenment philosopher and through Romanticism and Emile the notion of the noble savage? – her cameraman Max, and the family with whom they are travelling – the child having been bitten and succuming rapidly to zombification – encounter some of the flesh eaters in an otherwise deserted settlement.
The zombie child; is it just me or are zombie children and elderly under-represented within the genre?
The SWAT team arrive in time to save the filmmakers, although this poses them with a dilemma. For the nature of their secret mission, any notion of a vacation forgotten in what could either be taken as careless writing or anothercomment on official duplicity, is such that they cannot allow any witnesses to live.
Fortunately for Lisa and Max, who are here to investigate the rumours around the Hope Centre, the ever growing number of zombies provide a bigger threat to everyone for the time being...
The greatest difficulty in writing about Hell of the Living Dead is that no description can really be adequate to it, as the kind of special film which really needs to be experienced for oneself.
Directed by Bruno Mattei under his Vincent Dawn alias – the surname of course further cuing us in to the film's main inspiration, Dawn of the Dead – and written by his long-term partner in crime Claudio Fragasso, the film is nothing if not entertaining, albeit with the likelihood that you will be laughing more than anything else.
Combining the zombie and mondo filone, the film's highlights include masses of poorly integrated stock footage of animals not native to New Guinea, like elephants and jerboa, much derived from Barbet Schroeder's documentary The Valley Beyond the Clouds; characters who quickly establish that the only way to stop the zombies is by shooting them in the head Romero-style but nevertheless persistently fail to pursue this approach; a spot of dubious anthropology as Lia strips down to her thong and paints herself in order to befriend a native tribe; and a near-deserted lecture theatre seeing service as a United Nations debating chamber.
The debating chamber
At the same time, however, there's a certain idiot-savant quality to the last of these, suggesting as it does that the first world really does not care about the third except for when it is understood as a problem for the west, in line with film's discourse around population control and the way in which first world's attempts to deal with this via the ironically named Hope centres becomes an issue only at the point when it it threatens to go out of control and cause a fatal PR disaster.
The message seems to be that having the population of New Guinea or other third world country consume themselves is fine, but having the same happen in the US, whose population, per head, consume far more than their equitable share, is not.
In this regard, one also wonders if the film's recycling of ideas, music and footage from other productions could in itself be taken as a gesture in the direction of an ecologically friendly approach to filmmaking or as a comment on the inherently cannibalistic nature of Italian filone production itself. Probably not, in all honesty, but intriguing possibilities nonetheless.
The whole media aspect is also surprisingly well handled, conveying confusion, disbelief, the suppression of information and the dubious self-interest of the reporter in a manner that actually predates the recent Diary of the Dead at times, even as elsewhere – a talking head scientist indicating how a cadaver with all four limbs removed still reanimated – the film's sullo stesso filone Dawn of the Dead origins are again being highlighted.
Given that it was borrowed from other films – Romero's, Beyond the Darkness and Contamination – Goblin's music is actually rather well used, rarely feeling out of place and highlighting Mattei's long experience as an editor.
Yes, this is a man in a top hat and tutu doing a dance routine as zombies close in
The performances are over the top but impossible to assess beyond this on account of the dubbing. It doesn't really matter though, inasmuch as the two combine to impart a live cartoon or comic book like feel, with this impression further enhanced by the frequent what-the moments, the best of which is perhaps one character's donning a top hat and tutu and doing a singing in the rain routine – without regard for the small detail of being in a house surrounded by zombies at the time.
Two acceptable faces of exploitation cinema
And a less acceptable one – how would the filmmaker or viewer feel if this were their child?
Gore fans will not be disappointed by Hell of the Living Dead, though there is a clear split between the harmless comic book zombie splatter material, which culminates in one victim having their tongue torn out and the zombie them forcing their eyeballs out from the inside, and the more exploitative and distasteful footage of native practices, apparently derived from Akira Ide's 1974 mondo movie Nuova Guinea: Isola Dei Cannibali.

I think the Barbet Schroeder film is actually titled "The Valley (Obscuredthe Clouds)."
It is not a documentary but a drama about a group of white explorers trying to find a mythical valley that is supposed to be a paradise from which no one returns. It features a great score by Pink Floyd.

You have summed up this one neatly, including the Malthusian and racist approach to the questions of the third world.
That aside this is definately a beer and pizza trash movie to watch with friends for one of those less than serious nights.
It also barely rises above incompetent ost of the time too. That said it is a strangely facinating film and that is mostly down to the badly cut in stock footage.

The year started on a very pleasant note when we flew down on a sight seeing trip to south India in January 2008.
On board a low flight aircraft overlooking the nilgiri hills
Visited various places like Ooty, Mysore,
and Kanya Kumari -- seen below is the the southern most tip of Indian peninsula.
Attended famous Durga Puja celebrations of Calcutta, (view of a Puja Pandal at College Street )
and idols of 'Ma Durga' and other gods and godesses inside the pandal.
Shimla on the Diwali night.
Some days were bright
and my regular friends kept me company, having their daily morning meal on my terrace.
But life goes on. A song and dance programme held at a club in Calcutta to mark the year ending celebrations.

|Irish bloggers at the Christmas Bloggers Meetup!
I'm not used to public speaking - at all - but in a way this is a good example of what blogging is all about: opening yourself up to new things, putting yourself out there a bit, stretching yourself and welcoming new opportunities into your life. We all say this – because for most of us it's true – but you never imagine when you start your little site that it could bring all of this richness into your life. The experiences, the events, treatments, the products... I've had some pinch-me moments and some brilliant opportunities - like writing for beaut.ie and my column in the Metro Herald - and I'm really grateful for all of the chances that I've had. But mostly I'm grateful for the people: I have met some really wonderful people online who are now great friends offline, and that's just magical.
You do have to work incredibly hard for the opportunities that you get, though, as everyone here knows. I am in awe of the mothers who blog and manage it alongside looking after their families, or the people who have several different hobbies with blogging being just one of them. I don't know how they manage it. Blogging takes up all of my spare time, quite a bit of my money and lots of my headspace, too - it can be all consuming.
|L-R: Sarah, Karen, me making a very scrunched up face, and Cindy
But all of that's ok because I love it. And if you love something you will put in the time and the effort and it will always pay off in the end. But you have to REALLY love it, or you won't want to put in the hours, you won't want to be sitting in front of a screen typing away at the weekends when you could be out doing other things. It's important to keep a balance - that you never lose the enjoyment and the fun factor and you don't put too much pressure on yourself because if it stops being fun, if you lose your passion for it, then there's just no point. And it will come across in what you write and people won't want to read it anyway.You also have to be really careful not to let blogging mess with your head. You hear rumbles about the blogosphere being a bitchy place or people not being supportive of each other - I haven't experienced much of that, but I have experienced anxiety, insecurity, paranoia, pangs of jealousy...all feelings I'm not used to and all brought on by myself. Jane from British Beauty Blogger has written about this very topic so I would urge you to read that if you haven't already. Karen from Lovely Girlie Bits has also written a great piece on it here.
The other thing I try to keep in mind is that my blog is not a business, or my day job. I might have the odd ad or partnered post, but it's not a second job, far from it. It's a hobby that has great perks - it allows me to meet lovely people and do things like this and try lots of pretty shiny makeup which I love - but you need to keep some perspective. Only a tiny percentage of bloggers will ever cross over into professional blogging. And the good thing about being amateurs is that no-one expects us to be perfect.The best we can do is love what we do, be kind to each other, try and support one another, read and comment on each other's blogs, and try to make our own the best it can be. I'm no expert but my top tips are to be consistent, to be true to yourself and don't take it too seriously. At the end of the day, it's only blogging.
I'd also like to say a massive thank you to Sarah for organising such a brilliant event, to everyone who listened patiently to my ramblings on the day, and to the other speakers, Kat & Rach from Dolly Rouge and Ellie from MisseBlog along with Marissa Carter from Cocoa Brown and Niamh Martin of NIMA Brush! Hope you found this interesting, or if you write a blog yourself, that you find it useful in some way. Thanks for reading and I'd love to know your thoughts! For more tips on blogging you could also read this brilliant writeup on Fash Mob which summarises beaut.ie co-founder Kirstie McDermott's talk at last year's dot conf.

It's almost here. Time to get ready for Sunday's annular eclipse of the sun, the first one visible from the U.S. since 1994. Anyone living in the approximately 150-mile-wide band from southern Oregon to northern Texas will see the moon's black disk silhouetted squarely against the sun's.
Folks like me, who live outside that band, will witness a partial eclipse. For Duluth, Minn., the moon will cover a maximum of 63% of the sun. Chicago gets a bit more – 69% – and Dallas 94%.
To find out circumstances of the eclipse for any town in the U.S., Canada and other regions, click on the map at top. It will take you to NASA's eclipse website, where you can zoom in to find your town. When you click again on the town name, an info box pops up with times and "eclipse magnitude". This is the amount of sun covered for your A magnitude of 0.59 means 59% of the sun will be blocked by the moon at maximum eclipse. The times shown in the bubble are Universal Time (UT or Greenwich time). For Eastern Daylight subtract 4 hours, Central 5 hours, Mountain 6 and Pacific 7 hours. In the example, the eclipse starts at 00:17 UT May 21. Subtracting 5 hours we get 7:17 CDT May 20.
Annular eclipses happen when the moon passes directly in front of the sun just as it does during a total solar eclipse – with one difference. Normally the moon is big enough to completely cover the solar disk, but during this eclipse, it happens to be farthest from Earth and hence a bit smaller than usual. Small enough that it leaves an annulus or ring of sunlight remaining at maximum eclipse.
Since some portion of the sun remains visible during the entire eclipse, it's important to use a safe solar filter to protect your eyes if you plan on watching the event. You can find out where to purchase a filter in this recent blog I wrote on the topic.
I've seen two annular eclipses in my time and enjoyed them both immensely. Sure, it's not the same as a total, where you can stare at the sun directly and watch pink flames lick its circumference beneath a quivering corona. But make no mistake, there's still plenty to see and enjoy during this eclipse.
Here's what to watch for with naked eye, binoculars and small telescopes. Again, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to do your looking through a safe solar filter:
* Daylight perception – When about 75% or more of the sun is covered, you'll notice a change in the quality of daylight. The sky will be darker and a steelier shade of blue than before the eclipse.
* Weird shadows – Again, in places where about 3/4 of the sun will be covered, the quality of your shadow will change from soft and fuzzy-edged to sharp as the disk of the sun narrows to a thin arc.
* The serrated edge – For those with small telescopes, take a look at the silhouetted edge of the moon against the sun. If you look closely, you'll notice it's irregular in places like a serrated knife. Those are the tops of mountains and crater rims seen in profile. While an interesting sight in itself, it gets even better (see farther down).
* Sunspot hide and seek – If the sun has any sunspots – very likely – it's fun to watch the moon's edge approach, slice into and then cover the spots. See if you can tell which is darker – the silhouetted moon or the dark sunspot cores called umbrae.
* Sticky mountains – For anyone within the annular zone or very close to it, the mountains along the moon's edge will appear to "stretch" and briefly "stick" to the inner circumference of the sun, breaking it into short segments.
This wonderful sight happens for several seconds at second and third contacts and is caused by atmospheric effects on the moon's bumpy profile.
Second contact occurs the moment the entire moon is visible against the sun. Third contact occurs the moment the leading edge of the moon touches the inner edge of the sun as it exits the disk. During a total solar eclipse, the same mountains create the sparking "diamond ring" effect.
* Ring of fire effect -For many this will be the climax of the eclipse when observers in the path of annularity will be able to see the moon surrounded by a fiery ring of sunlight for about 4 minutes. Be sure to look take your eye away from the scope for a minute to appreciate the sight with the (filtered) naked eye. It's eery to see nothing but a ring up there, almost like you're living on a planet orbiting a distant sun.
* Planetary bonus – For those in the annular zone or near it, the sky should get dark enough to see Venus high above the moon in the western sky. Those watching from California and especially from Japan and China, where the sun will be much higher, can also look for Jupiter and Mercury below the it.
* Live Webcast – If you're not able to see the annular eclipse, check out AstronomyLive's live webcast.
One of the best things about an annular eclipse is seeing how quickly the moon glides from one side of the sun to the other through a telescope. Unless you witness a total eclipse, you'll probably never feel it move faster. Now let's just hope it's clear. Good luck to all of you!

Concentration--A Poem
Brow furrowed in concentration,
He puzzles over the machinery of the world.
What does it do?
How does it work?
Why does it do it?
Nostalgic for a time before the world was so hard,
A time nine months ago,
Before he was born.

Update, June 8, 2016: Congress passed a major overhaul of the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act with bipartisan support on June 7, 2016. The bill was a compromise between industry groups wanting predictable, federal regulations and consumer advocates who long argued TSCA didn't do enough to protect Americans from unsafe chemicals. The new soon-to-be law includes important policy advances: The bill allows the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate chemicals based on their human health effects alone, and it will ultimately allow the EPA to review 20 chemicals at a time, according to the Wall Street Journal. The law restricts the states from passing new laws regulating chemicals but allows those already passed to remain on the books.
Chemical spills foul water supplies hundreds of miles away. Toxics seep from the flooring in our homes, while our furniture comes bearing cancer-causing flame retardants. Even plastic water bottles, it turns out, may be perilous.
Constant exposure to chemicals is part of life. Questions keep coming, though, about what's safe and what's not. In many cases we just don't know, and that's partly due to the language of a four-decade-old statute, the overhaul of which has been debated for years.
For nearly 40 years, industrial chemicals have been regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, one of the oldest existing environmental statutes.
And that's a problem.
The Government Accountability Office – the nonpartisan congressional agency tasked with evaluating governmental functions – has for years found fault with how EPA assesses and controls chemical risks, as well as with TSCA (pronounced "tosca") itself. And over time, interest in overhauling the law has grown among those on both sides of the debate, from the chemical industry to public health and environmental advocates.
The reason more chemicals haven't been regulated through the 1976 law stems from several factors that severely limit EPA's ability to perform its function.
Currently, the agency has a limited window of 90 days to decide that a new chemical poses an "unreasonable risk" to public health — the initial standard necessary to trigger testing. Otherwise, the chemical can be distributed in the market (although the agency can hold things up if it is really concerned). While the standard of "unreasonable risk" may sound simple enough, it creates a bit of a catch-22 for regulators: EPA in most cases would need initial testing information to establish unreasonable risk, but can't actually require a company to test its new chemical involuntarily unless it can show there is a risk.
EPA must also consider the cost of regulation to industry and others — not just the threat to public health — before cracking down on a chemical that's already on the market, a requirement that has caused its own problems. When a manufacturer wants to use such a chemical in a new product, EPA gets another go at regulating the substance, but revisiting products already on shelves is a steep climb for the agency.
As a result, few chemicals have been tested over the last 40 years, and even fewer banned under the federal regulatory scheme.
For the chemical industry, a mishmash of state laws creates a complicated, fractured, and inefficient regulatory system. Most manufacturers would rather have federal law take precedence, even if it's somewhat tougher than the current regime; they're looking for predictability in how their products are treated, and they also want a high degree of consumer confidence in the safety of their wares.
The cost* of asbestos
(*to industry)
Asbestos is one of the highest profile dangerous chemicals, the subject of countless late night TV ads paid for by law firms looking to represent victims of asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. Asbestos is probably TSCA's most visible failure, aside from chemical spills that make national headlines.
Following TSCA's passage, asbestos – used for its resilience as well as its fire-resistant properties – was banned in the 1980s. However, in 1991 the ban was overturned. A federal court found that EPA hadn't considered the cost to industry of an asbestos ban — and therefore the agency hadn't met its obligations under TSCA, even though the chemical is a known carcinogen.
EPA hasn't successfully banned a chemical since.
According to the agency, asbestos can still be produced, imported, and distributed in products like vinyl floor tiling, disc brake pads, and even clothing. There are some exceptions. Through TSCA, asbestos is banned in products like paper and can't be used in new products; the Clean Air Act also lays out several conditions under which asbestos cannot be used.
Waiting for an overhaul: Where's Congress?
There have been several attempts in the past decade to revise TSCA and turn it into something more workable, but none have succeeded so far.
The most celebrated champion for overhauling the 40-year-old law was the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), a proven public health advocate who represented a state with a sizable chemical industry presence. In 2005, he introduced the Child, Worker, and Consumer Safe-Chemicals Act, which would have amended TSCA to require safety information on new chemicals be submitted to the EPA, among other changes. That bill didn't get far, but Lautenberg stayed with the effort, and in 2013 — with his retirement announced for the end of that term — teamed up on a compromise bill with Sen. David Vitter (R-La.). The Lautenberg-Vitter Chemical Safety Improvement Act of 2013 received bipartisan support, though it also drew its share of criticism from public health advocates for failing to address what they saw as key issues with TSCA, criticism that would be repeated on further iterations of the bill.
Lautenberg had also been working in the 113th Congress with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on the much more stringent SAFE Chemicals Act, which would have required companies to prove that their chemicals were safe (the bill was called the "Cadillac" of chemical reform by a health advocate). That measure — and others like it that drew the ire of the chemical industry — was unlikely to get Republican votes.
The compromise Lautenberg-Vitter bill wouldn't have achieved the level of chemical safety that health advocates wanted, but it was viewed as a step forward that Republicans were willing to cosponsor. When Lautenberg died in mid-2013, Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) took the mantle in promoting this TSCA overhaul in the Senate alongside Vitter. Shortly thereafter, he began getting contributions from the chemical industry, which had been loathe to contribute to Udall – known for his environmentalist credentials – previously.

* Based on data released by the Federal Election Commission on Monday, March 09, 2015.
In the current Congress there are two competing bills with different standards of protection from chemicals — and differing levels of support from industry and health advocates. The pending version of the Vitter-Udall bill sets a standard of "unreasonable risk" for managing chemicals. The bill is favored by the industry, and in early 2015 it was alleged that the American Chemistry Council played an intimate part in drafting it.
A separate bill sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) — which does not have the support of the chemical industry but is seen as a stronger regulatory measure — would require that EPA find "reasonable certainty of no harm" before chemicals could enter or stay on the market. Boxer's objections to the Vitter-Udall bill include the fact that it could pre-empt the ability of states to impose stricter standards; her home state has some of the most stringent chemical safety regs in the nation. In fact, at least 18 states have enacted more than 200 laws or policies governing chemical safety due to lack of action under TSCA.
Consumer health advocates also raise concerns that the "unreasonable risk" language in Vitter-Udall sets too high a bar for keeping a dangerous chemical off the market.
With Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress, the Boxer-Markey bill seems sure to fail. The Vitter-Udall legislation has somewhat better (if uncertain) prospects. At this writing, the Senate Environment Committee has passed the bill and it is making its way through the House Energy and Commerce Committee. (Text continues below)
Who's in the game?
Major players in the chemical industry — including corporate interests that aren't always thought of in connection with this line of manufacturing — have skin in the game when it comes to regulation. But consumer health and environmental interest groups are highly vocal about this, too.
The chemical industry itself clearly favors Republican candidates when it comes to campaign contributions. In 2014, the industry spent $12 million on federal elections; of the $9.7 million that went to candidates and party committees, 76 percent went to Republicans. Some Democrats did, however, receive big sums — including Udall, the Democratic sponsor of the industry-favored bill. Spending by the industry on elections hasn't gone much beyond the $12 million mark in the past — except in 2012, when it spent a whopping $46.8 million. Much of that was accounted for by titanium dioxide manufacturer Contran Corp. and its leader, Texan Harold Simmons, who has since died; together they gave more than $30 million to conservative super PACs that cycle. Simmons, according to the Wall Street Journal, wanted broadly to elect Republicans that would ease tax and regulatory laws in the country – and wanted to oust President Obama from office by any candidate necessary.
(Includes contributions of more than $200 from PACs and individuals associated with the companies to federal candidates, political parties and outside spending groups.)
Many household chemical names, including Dow Chemical and DuPont, lobbied heavily on TSCA overhaul bills in the last Congress. The American Chemistry Council also made a strong showing. The ACC represents a wide spectrum of chemical interests — including consumer product manufacturers like Procter & Gamble and oil producers like Exxon Mobil, which also make a number of chemicals.
The total lobbying bill for the industry in 2014 was $64.7 million — the largest figure yet, surpassing several years of record lobbying spending by chemical companies since 2008. The Chemical Safety Improvement Act (the Vitter-Udall bill) was one of the measures that Dow Chemical, ACC, DuPont, and BASF SE — the top lobbying spenders in the industry — reported lobbying on the most in the 113th Congress.
As an organization that represents most of the biggest name in the chemical industry, ACC provides a telling glimpse into the interests behind the Vitter-Udall bill. Its lobbying roster is massive. It includes ten outside firms contracted by ACC and dozens of revolving door lobbyists – two of which are former members of Congress, including the current CEO of the ACC, former Rep. Cal Dooley (D-Calif.), and former Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio).
One important note: Our overall totals for lobbying expenditures and campaign contributions by the chemical industry are undercounts. They don't include figures from some important chemical manufacturers that are associated primarily with other products. For instance, CRP classifies Bayer AG as a pharmaceutical company because the majority of its revenues come from that industry, but it is considered one of the top dozen chemical companies in the world. Bayer spent $1.8 million lobbying in 2014, mainly on pharmaceutical-related legislation but also on chemical bills, including the Vitter-Udall TSCA bill and the Lautenberg-Gillibrand Safe Chemicals Act.
Others that lobbied on TSCA changes last year (and generally took positions counter to the industry's) included trial lawyer, environmental and health advocacy groups, although their spending didn't come close to that of the major chemical companies. Among them were the American Association for Justice, the main trial lawyers' trade group, which spent $3.9 million in 2014 lobbying on a wide variety of issues, including chemical safety; the Natural Resources Defense Council, which spent $714,000; and the Union of Concerned Scientists, which spent $130,000. Safer Chemicals Healthy Families, a group that lobbied exclusively on the Vitter-Udall bill and SAFE Chemicals Act in 2014, spent $53,500.
Both sides seem to agree that the process for regulating chemicals needs to change, though their motivations may be different. The relative influence each will have in shaping any bill that makes it through Congress is to be determined.

Big Brother Australia – New Logo?
(Source: Official Big Brother Australia)
Followers of Nine's Big Brother Facebook page and Twitter feed have been anticipating the new eye logo for the last few days, with the graphic appearing on Facebook today – but only if we can answer trivia questions!
The new logo is being revealed piece by piece on a jigsaw puzzle, as fans are being tested on their knowledge of previous seasons.
I wonder whose idea this was?
Here is the post on Facebook:
Big Brother has asked us to play an eye-catching game. See the above jigsaw puzzle? We'll reveal pieces of the puzzle when you correctly answer. Are you ready to play?
I think it's a bit tacky, but at least they're trying to keep the buzz going!
This is the first trivia question, worth one or few jigsaw pieces:
Lets get started: What was the name of the Housemate who nearly killed Chrissie Swan with laughter by cutting out the eyes of the Big Brother picture?
While this post has already gotten 47 comments in the last hour, many are still asking when the auditions are! There hasn't been an announcement as this stage, and the Twitter feed was very misleading a few weeks ago when a tweet was made, along the lines of: "The wait will soon be over! Auditions coming soon!"… But when I checked their page a few days ago, the tweet was deleted.
When news of the show's return on Nine were first announced, there were rumours of adapting France's Big Brother: Secrets format where every contestant will enter the house with a personal secret. It was reported by TV Tonight late last year. But there hasn't been any further information about the show since.
Check out the Facebook page from 7pm tonight to see more bits of the new logo.

Handmade Valentines Swap
Remember those early school years when you made and received Valentines and even decorated shoe boxes to hold them all in? Well, for the last 8 years, I've been making and swapping old fashioned Valentines with the farmgirls at Mary Jane's Farm. I was a tad late in posting the swap this year so someone else beat me to it, but I have many loyal swappers who look forward to this one each year but our number is a even dozen, down from the usual 30 plus, but that is ok, won't cost as much in postage! But, I thought some of you might like to join us? It's easy really, all you have to do is make a valentine card for each lady on the master list. And like I said, were only at 12 so far, the deadline to join in is Jan. 18th, so if you'd like to make and receive valentines, just email me your name and address and your in! Below was last year's goodies, so much talent, some even made us a bookmark, added candy and got real creative, but the fun is expressing yourself and then checking the mailbox for all the love.....
Last week was very long...........the weather was record breaking COLD, below 0 many times, just not our normal winter weather. Our whole well house froze up, breaking pipes and leaving us without water for 2 days, but some had it worse. But, this week is much better, sunny and above freezing, even hit 61 on Sunday! That was nice, wish it would last longer than a day, but that's life in Oz! Cold or not, a handmade valentine is my cure for the winter blahs, staying creative is one of my goals for 2014 so express yourself and join us!

Launched in 2011, wome's high fashion brand, Miu Miu's Women's Tales initiative is an ongoing series of commissioned short films directed by an international selection of women directors, telling stories about women.
The 5th film in the series, directed by Ava DuVernay, is now available for viewing.
Titled The Door, the short stars Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Adepero Oduye, and singer-songwriter Goapele.
Here's how it's described via Miu Miu's website for the series:
The Door, by Ava DuVernay, the fifth Miu Miu Women's Tale, is a celebration of the transformative power of feminine bonds, and a symbolic story of life change. The symbolic centre of The Door is the front entrance of the protagonist's home. As she opens it to greet a friend in the powerfully framed opening scenes, she is shrouded in an oblique sadness. "In the film, characters arrive at the door of a friend in need, bringing something of themselves," explains director DuVernay. "Eventually, we witness our heroine ready to walk through the door on her own. The door in the film represents a pathway to who we are." Clothing is also a symbol of renewal, each change of costume charting our heroine's emergence from a chrysalis of sadness. In the final scenes, she takes off her ring, pulls on long, black leather gloves, and walks, transformed by the emotive power of the clothing, through the door.
By the way, the short work was shot by the hottest DP in the land right now, Bradford Young.

Theatre Title: JIAN DANG WEI YE aka: Beginning of the Great Revival (???? - Jiàn Dang Wei Yè) Well, I finally saw it, much better than I expected, and worth the see for all; a movie told from the perspective of the Chinese, more than from merely the Red Communists of China. China, from being in a position of weakness, humiliation, and violence, fought to finally coming out of the past and looking to the future. It reminded me of the humiliation I often felt being born out here in the West; but hopefully the future is better everywhere. The story serves as a historical primer to the Chinese people as to where they came from and hopefully where they can go in the future.
Um, walked into the only theatre showing 'Beginning of the Great Revival', and it wasn't even listed, so I had to find out amongst numerous other foreign films amongst which were both Chinese and Indian movies. This movie is titled such that if I don't have never seen or understand the meaning of the title, I wouldn't know it is the same movie. It was listed as: "Jian Dang Wei Ye". I ignored it because I thought maybe it was a newer Chinese movie (an action movie?), and so I dismissed it. So much for appealing to local Canadian audience here! NOT! :P I heard it was a propaganda film that showed only the positive side to the Chinese Communist beginnings, so I was curious. The Chinese titl
a great introduction to the recent 100 years history of China : a sad story of civil wars, pain, shame, and sub-colonization, to awakening, self-renewal, revolutions, wars, and eventual founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 !

The Continuing Myth of Adolescence
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way ...
—C. Dickens 1
By any standards, America's young adolescents have a great deal of discretionary time. Much of it is unstructured, unsupervised, and unproductive for the young person. Only 60% of adolescents' waking hours are committed to such essentials as school, homework, eating, chores, or paid employment, while fully 40% are discretionary.
—Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1992 2
Adam suffered from nothing more serious than adolescence, a disease that would eventually pass, like a particularly virulent episode of chicken pox: ugly to look at but temporary and certainly not life-threatening.
—R. Russo, 2001 3
Charles Dickens's vivid description of life in 18th century Paris might also be said to capture the contradictory experiences of adolescence. Adolescence is riddled with ups and downs, defined by radical biological transformations and characterized by boundless energy and enormous pressures to excel academically and to fit in socially. At a time when teens must cope simultaneously with numerous social, academic, and biological pressures,

I feel busy. Crazy. I had grading, grading, and more grading at the beginning of the week. I really do love my job. Seriously. I have the best job! Now I'm trying to catch up on housework and mothering and play. Thank goodness for
or I'd be in big trouble. Thank you Shauna, for introducing me to her.
We have one last furnace guy coming, but I think we've already made our decision. Thank you Questar gas, consumer reports, the better business bureau and the random HVAC consultants on the web for helping us make our decision. I like to be thorough.
I finally got a bunch of books I put on hold at the library and I'm crazy trying to read them because other people want them after me. It's like everyone wants to raise their kids awesomely or something.
The weather has already killed off 2 of my plants and damaged another from wind. That sucks.
But this weekend I get to go see my little brother and his family get sealed. I love going to the temple. Any chance to get away from "the world" is good.
I still haven't been able to cut cheese from my diet, but I've mostly cut meat. I had to finish off the turkey bacon today though. mmmm turkey bacon. But I haven't been in any pain this week, except Easter. Stupid Cadbury mini eggs (drool). I think I need to get my husband into rehab for those. But now I'm feeling good and I'm still taking me herbs and zeolite. I don't think I could function without them anymore. :) This weekend my mom and I did some balances (energy work) which I haven't done for a while. It's helped me to revive my love for alternative medicine. It's good to get back to things that make you happy.

I bought the latest issue of In Style and got the orange. I am tempted to buy the other 2 colours but I have similar colours in my collection and I am trying very hard not to double up as much. I'm going to Italy in June and want to save my nail polish pennies for some different and new polishes.
I don't really like orange but this looked ok.
I decided gold would look nice in a free hand pattern.
The gold I used was China Glaze Christmas 2010 collection Midnight Kiss.
I wore that for a day and then decided to add some bright blue in the mix. I thought it looked a bit bland. I used a blue nail art pen and blue rhinestones I got both very cheaply on ebay.
I don't really like it to be honest! I took it off when i got home from work the next day.
It looked better before I got carried away with the rhinestones but I do like the idea. I think I will try some different colours next time
