I wanted to share this powerful message from a fellow Hubber called godpreacher. You will see from my comments at the end of his hub that in the most part I agreed with his message or should I say god's message through him.
When we are talking of not being unequally yoked (in all area's of our lives, not just marriage), we always have to balance this along with 'being in the world but not of it' by being an example. Remember, it is very difficult to be an example if you have no relationship at all; what I am trying to say is that in order to have an effective impact on someone's life there usually has to be a relationship. I used to get various people come to my door and want to come in and speak to me about God, but they weren't coming in as I did not have any relationship or common ground with them. I am not saying that we start sinning in order to have common ground, but we do need to be prepared to share our testimony and remember that we also were once in the dark in regards to salvation and the need for it.
Revelation 12:7-11 (Amplified Bible)
7Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.
8But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer.
9And the huge dragon was cast down and out--that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him.(A)
10Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come--the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out!(B)
11And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].
Verse 11 is still the way we overcome; by the blood of Jesus and this part is what we often leave out for a variety of reasons By the utterance of their testimony. Thats right, our shame was taken at the cross when we turned our lives over to Christ, but still many of us feel ashamed to share with others about what type of life style we were saved from. Now I am going to add a disclaimer here. Ensure you ask the Holy Spirit just what part of your testimony to share, as He knows best. So don't write back to me with a warning that your solicitors/lawyers letter is on the way :O)
So remember dear child of God, He loves you dearly and that is why He allows you to also experience the shakings that often turn our lives on its head. We grow from these experiences (see the book of James Chapter 1, verses 1 to 20).
You are salt and light, so be at peace. remember to ask the Holy Spirit for His leading and you will be fine.
Matthew 5:13-16 (Amplified Bible)
13You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.
14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16Let your light so shine before men that they may see your [a]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and [b]recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Check out these lemons!
This is just one branch on my aunt's lemon tree. I have this list in my head of all the trees I must have in my own future garden and lemons are definitely on that list. There's something special about having an over abundance of lemons. I'd love to have a bucket of lemons and be able to give them away and make homemade lemonade and make lemon meringue pies and lemon marmalade. I just hope I can grow a lemon tree better than my dad…they seem to be one of the only plants that he just can't keep alive!
Some other trees on my list include mulberries, mandarin, pecan, cumquat, orange, pomelo and a few other subtropical varieties of tree. Oh that reminds me of a challenge on the finale of Masterchef the other night…the contestants had to name three fruits and I could not believe they didn't know cumquats and guavas! I tend to forget that what we grow where I live doesn't grow in all parts of Australia. I feel privileged.
Speaking of fruit trees, I had a great conversation with my aunt this morning about using fruit trees and vegetables and herbs as part of your garden. I don't believe there should be a distinction between a garden and a vegetable garden. Why not combine them? If you're going to be looking after a flower garden anyway, why not just add in a few edible plants or fruit trees? It makes sense and you know it. Plus, it would make gardening more fun if you could reach over while weeding and grab a snow pea or a cherry tomato.
Until next time,
ps. Did you click on all the lemony links? I was doing a search for photos of lemons with a creative commons license on flickr and I just had to share them. Lemons make beautiful photography subjects!

Bakstein, David and Howison, Sam (2003) A non-arbitrage liquidity model with observable parameters for derivatives. Mathematical Finance . (Submitted)
We develop a parameterised model for liquidity effects arising from the trading in an asset. Liquidity is defined via a combination of a trader's individual transaction cost and a price slippage impact, which is felt by all market participants. The chosen definition allows liquidity to be observable in a centralised order-book of an asset as is usually provided in most non-specialist exchanges. The discrete-time version of the model is based on the CRR binomial tree and in the appropriate continuous-time limits we derive various nonlinear partial differential equations. Both versions can be directly applied to the pricing and hedging of options; the nonlinear nature of liquidity leads to natural bid-ask spreads that are based on the liquidity of the market for the underlying and the existence of (super-)replication strategies. We test and calibrate our model set-up empirically with high-frequency data of German blue chips and discuss further extensions to the model, including stochastic liquidity.

White Rose Heart Wreath is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Married30years from Disappointed While these wreaths looked beautiful in the picture, they are quite the opposite when you receive them. I ordered two of theses wreaths and received them in beginning of June. When I opened the box and took them out some of the leaves and flowers were falling off. I put them on my front door. While they looked nice from a distance, close up I wasn't impressed, I left them up and then two days I noticed the leaves turned brown . Needleess to say I had to take them down and throw away. I should have returned them when I opened the box. Lesson learned. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DarKA from Beautiful!! I purchased two of these wreaths. I opened the boxes and I was blown away. Both of the wreaths were in excellent condition from shipment and just absolutely beautiful! It was exactly as shown in the picture. I was surprised to how big they were. I've purchased wreaths from other websites with their measurements and they always arrived on the smaller side. I highly recommend this purchase.

Father's Day this year falls on June 21st, giving us all a few weeks to come up with the perfect gifts to give as we celebrate the men in our lives and everything that they do for us. This year, with my own lovely dad, my father-in-law and Ian to get gifts for, Kizzy and I decided to get creative and make them some personalised pressies.
We decided that it would be a nice idea to make each dad a personalised mug with a matching pair of coasters, and then filling the mug with something to match their personalities. This gift could then be wrapped in cellophane and finished with a ribbon to create a beautiful, bespoke present that will be treasured.
The first job was to create collages to go onto the mugs and coasters. For my dad and my FIL I used old family and personal photos to create images that would bring back happy memories. For Ian, Kizzy created something arty, celebrating the things that her dad loves (including all five of his kids!) I used Picmonkey to do the photo editing. Making the images first gives you much more creative freedom to design the perfect collage using overlays, clip art and filters.
Once we had the designs, we used Truprint to create the photogifts we wanted. (Truprint currently have a great Father's Day promotion, details of which are at the bottom of this post!) The mugs and coasters are easy to make online by uploading the images onto the site and editing them and adding text. With the mugs you can choose the colour of the inside of the cup and have a choice of font for the text. The coasters come in a pack of six, so by uploading three designs, I made a pair of coasters to match each mug.
Once ordered the photo gifts were delivered to my door within a few days, ready to have the finishing touches applied.
Depending on the dad's tastes, the mug can be filled with all manner of small gifts. We decided on using retro sweets, sachets of hot drinks and character socks and a keyring for our three presents. But you could use stationary products, a new tie, a miniature bottle of brandy with some sachets of coffee, some packs of seeds or some bars of dad's favourite chocolates. Another idea is to make dad some promise vouchers, either by hand or on the computer, to be exchanged for things such as bringing him breakfast in bed, washing his car or letting him take control of the TV for one day!
You can really have fun making this gift, from creating the collages to putting the finished gifts together. I like presents that look good, show thought and are functional after the big day.
The price of the photo gifts that we ordered from Truprint are:
Photo mugs 11 oz from £7.99
Coasters x 6 £14.99
6 x 4 photo prints from 5p
Another quick and easy idea for a Father's Day Gift is to buy a cheap photo frame and buy prints to go in it. It's very simple to do and the photo prints cost just pennies making it a very reasonable gift. This is an excellent present idea for grandads, who you possibly don't get to see very often. It's a nice touch to include a declaration that you promise to send updated photographs four times a year to replace the photographs so they can always have some up to date pictures of the grandchildren hanging on their wall.
You can find the mugs and coasters plus other fantastic Father's Day gift ideas on the Truprint website. Last day for ordering for Father's Day is June 15th.
Truprint have a special Father's Day offer saving you up to £30 off your order.

Financial support for Oliver
Annette had all kinds of worries about her deaf son, including how they'd manage financially. But after receiving our help the future is looking brighter.
This story featured in Families, our quarterly magazine for members.
The little arms are flung around her neck for one last reassuring hug, and then Oliver's off exploring his new nursery classroom. Annette waves, fighting back tears. Like any mum on their child's first day, she's anxious.
But although Oliver (3) is deaf, she knows he's going to be fine.
"I sobbed – didn't want to believe our perfect little lad was deaf."
Oliver had been diagnosed with a hearing loss in his left ear at three weeks old. "It was a shock," says Annette, also mum to Ceri-Ann (16). "I sobbed – didn't want to believe our perfect little lad was deaf."
Then, as the months passed, Annette and husband Simon saw little to worry about. "He developed into a normal, cheeky little lad, reaching all the developmental milestones. He was bright, knew how to get what he wants – like his big sister!" says Annette.
But during a hearing test at two years old last December, the audiologist found a deficiency in his right ear too.
"I was convinced it was due to a cold he'd had, but she said they'd double-check in January and suddenly she was talking about a Teacher of the Deaf visiting us. It was all happening so fast."
Christmas was an agony of waiting. "The whole time I was thinking 'Please God, not his right ear too.' We met Oliver's Teacher of the Deaf (ToD) Gabrielle, who was lovely, but I couldn't accept it."
Then at the follow-up test, the audiologist confirmed moderate loss in his right ear. "I broke down," recalls Annette. "He was referred for hearing aids that day – one of the worst days of our lives."
The audiologist gave them our details and they scoured our website. "We got lots of information about hearing aids," says Annette. "And we realised we weren't alone."
Within five weeks Oliver had his hearing aids. "His eyes opened wide – it must've been strange to suddenly hear everything so differently," says Annette.
Within three weeks his speech had developed astonishingly. "Before, some of his words were unclear but the clarity of his speech was instantaneous, it was amazing!" says Annette. "We'd been dreading the hearing aids but it turned out to be a big weight off when we saw the difference they made."
On our website they'd seen information on Disability Living Allowance but were reluctant to claim, even though Oliver's needs prevented Annette from going to work to supplement Simon's wages as a transport manager. "I didn't want to exploit Oliver's disability for financial gain," says Annette.
But after discussion with Gabrielle, they reconsidered. "It was for Oliver, not us – it made sense. A massive form arrived. NDCS explained that we had to show how having bilateral hearing aids meant he had a disability that would require more care and attention than a hearing child, for communication and safety – like being with him constantly to check he doesn't break his aids or swallow the batteries."
Annette phoned our Freephone Helpline and a family officer, Wendy, helped her claim.
Wendy advised her to send in supporting information, including audiograms, audiology reports and a letter from Gabrielle. But their claim was rejected – Oliver's hearing aids meant he could hear therefore he had no extra needs, they stated.
"I knew I must fight for him."
"It wasn't fair on Oliver," says Annette. "I knew I must fight for him."
Wendy helped her reply, asking for a revision and sending further supporting evidence, but it was rejected so Annette was referred to Linda in our Benefits Appeals Adviser team.
Linda helped her write a letter to say that she would appeal the decision. Meanwhile, their grounds for claiming had increased: Oliver had received speech and language therapy and also a hearing test showed the loss in his left ear was now severe.
"That was heartbreaking but we were more positive now," says Annette.
In May the decision was overturned, with weekly £49.30 payment backdated to the original claim in February. They also qualified for a weekly carer's allowance of £55.55, and they will qualify for extra money on their child tax credit.
"It's made a big difference," says Annette. "We put some away for Oliver's future. Without NDCS I'd have known nothing. Wendy and Linda at NDCS kept us positive and encouraged us to keep fighting for Oliver.

There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding a house fire which left one man dead, say police.
Firefighters from Barnsley, Tankersley and Cudworth fire stations responded to the incident on Darley Avenue, Athersley at around 1.55am today.
The first floor of the semi-detached, brick built house was well alight and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property to search for casualties.
A man, believed to be in his 60s, was sadly found to have died.
No one else is thought to have been inside the property at the time of the incident.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "Formal identification has not yet taken place and an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
At this time, there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances."

As an artist I am always looking to do challenging commissions. I need to be inspired and excited by my subject to give the best that is with in me.If you have an interesting idea, that you would want to be made into a bronze sculpture please contact me through the gallery or direct at 307-234-5547
Chris Navarro sculptor artist from Casper Wyoming and Sedona Arizona has been sculpting professionally since 1986. In the world of art he is best known for his large metal bronze sculptures. With over 25 large bronze monumental sculptures throughout the country. The owner of Navarro Gallery and Art Sculpture Garden located in beautiful Sedona Arizona known for its many contemporary fine art and southwest art galleries. Not just a bronze sculpture art gallery Navarro Gallery handles over 20 other fine art artists. Working in many different styles and mediums, oil, watercolor, acrylic, painting, cast paper, wood arts sculpture and jewelry. Landscape painting, wildlife art, western bronze sculpture with a mixture of contemporary fine art and realism.I love what I do for a living and hope others can see that through the work I have created.
Your experiences have everything to do with your beliefs and how you see the world. As in art and life, if what you create is real, and if it's done with genuine emotions, there will always be others who will want to experience and relate to that power.
The creation of monuments is extremely time consuming and labor intensive, requiring an initial design, creating a clay model, then casting it in bronze through the lost wax method. Sculpting is what I do for a living, but I don't ever plan on retiring.I've found something I really love to do and I hope others can see that through the works I've created.
In life the most worthwhile thing in art is seeing what is in someone else's heart.

Innovative fastening technology is at the heart of the MB Building Kit System. item fasteners create a perfect, friction-based connection between aluminium profiles. They are supplied with all the necessary T-Slot Nuts, screws, etc., which means that all users need to do is select the variant for the profile line they are using.
With the right fastener, users can connect profiles at a 90° angle, at a diagonal or one over the other. Here are some typical applications:
90° profile connections
The most common type of connection between profiles is a 90° fastening, and item offers a wide selection of specialised fasteners for this purpose. For example, the Automatic Fastener is used to create a fast and flexible connection, without the need for any additional profile machining. The Universal Fastener is a true all-rounder which produces connections that are extremely strong but can still be moved. And when profiles need to be connected and disconnected quickly, the Click Fastener is the ideal solution. Click here to view all the fasteners that are available for 90° connections.
Profile connections at various angles
Angle Elements are perfect for use with supporting struts at a 45° angle and sturdy trusses. The Mitre-Fastening Set creates a direct connection between profiles. item also supplies special fasteners with adjustable hinges.
Cross-profile connections
Two profiles that cross over each other can be joined together via a friction-based connection. Direct-Fastening Set 8 produces this type of connection without the need for any profile machining. Angle Locking Bracket 8 even allows users to easily adjust the angle at which the profiles cross. The Angle Hinge Bracket and Angle Clamp Bracket offer a simple and rapid means of fixing profiles.
Butt fasteners for extending profiles
Profiles can be connected end-to-end to form long stretches when using the Automatic Butt-Fastening Set – with no machining necessary. If the profiles need to exhibit a high load-carrying capacity, Universal-Butt-Fastening Set St is the ideal solution.
Parallel Fasteners for adjoining profiles
Two parallel profiles that run side by side can be connected together using the Central Fastening Set. If a gap is required between the profiles, for example as a versatile means of fitting and removing partitions, the Parallel Fastener is the right solution. Connection Profiles and Connection Profile Braces are ideal when especially strong connections and stable trusses need to be assembled.
All the relevant technical information, details about accessories and – for some models – product videos can be found on the dedicated product pages for the fasteners.
Click here for an overview of films showing how to install and use the fasteners.

On the home page of my website rests half of Seneca's famous quote, "Throughout the whole of life, one must continue to learn to live…". Being a self-proclaimed, pathological optimist I couldn't bring myself to display the other half of Seneca's thoughts…."and what will amaze you even more, throughout life, one must learn to die".
This is not only the essence of life. It is the essence of the universe. One of the earliest references to this concept was presented around 700 BCE, most appropriately, in "The Book of Changes". It was the theory of Yin and Yang (pronounced yawng). The symbols name literally translates as Supreme Ultimate. If you study this theory, you will find it embraces the true scientific epiphanies of our time including Newton's three laws of motion.* Even a graph of Newton's second law follows the non-linear, center line of the yin-yang symbol showing that when mass is very large, acceleration is very small and visa versa.
The theory's true profundity lies in the concept that yin and yang represent a continuum between two extremes. Yin representing the densest form (matter) and Yang representing the lightest form (energy). Einstein couldn't have surmised it better. About 2500 years after its appearance Darwin came to understand another aspect of this (not yet proclaimed) universal law. In the final paragraph of his book, "On the Origin of Species" Darwin wrote:
"Thus, from the war of Nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.
In honor of James Lee Byar's quote "Answer is the betrayal of the open spirit of question", I leave the interpretion of Darwin's last paragraph to the reader. As I've moved through my life, my understanding of this quote has been like rose opening. I can't believe the depth that it holds. It makes me wonder if the Catholic church so vehemently demonized Darwin, not because his realizations were blasphemy, but because they offered a more profound concept of God than the church could ever provide.
This brings us to our next subject…the origin of matter and thus the origin of creation…death.by

Hoping to achieve dark red color. Did 4 way strand tests with Celebration and Punjabi Prime, both with lemon and apple juice. Left to dye release about 6 to 8 hrs. When tested lemon had dark stain on my palms and apple slight stain. Couldn't use right away so I froze them. When finally tested I let them dye for 4 hrs. Results.....PP/Apple:coppery red, PP/lemon:copper slight red, C/apple:copper orange and lemon was the same. Everyone raves about the dye in Celebration but it came out lighter and more orange then PP....I ordered the PP, since it came out redder, and am waiting for dye release, with apple juice, right now to be used in a couple of hours. Also note that I let the oxidation process go for about a week...and all the strands came out only slightly darker then the orginal color...only the PP with apple came out with slightly more red while the others just seemed to become a slightly darker orange. However, I am starting to feel concerned that the Celebration didn't work out and am suprised that the lemon didn't darken the strands, I expected the apple not to darken much but the lemon i expected to... Was it because of my hair? (completely faded red that its orange) or was it maybe timing etc? Freezing? Help or confort would be appreciated xp hehe.
Thank you!

BOËTHIUS AND CHAUCER: foreknowledge and free will
The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Boёthius [6th century CE] and Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde [14th century CE]
Philosophers have debated whether humans do indeed have free will.
Some Christian thinkers claim that some people are predestined to be "saved", whatever good works they carry out. On the other hand, we are told that we possess sufficient free will to choose between good and evil. In John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lucifer deliberately chooses evil.
It appears impossible to "prove" whether we have free will. However, it is not possible to live a life without assuming that we are free to make choices, albeit in the context of internal constraints, such as society's laws and our personal resources.
The Consolation of Philosophy
Boёthius was a minister of the Ostrogoth King Theodoric. He was arrested on a charge of treason (it is thought, unjustly) and executed in 525 CE. The Consolation is believed to have been written by Boёthius when he was in prison awaiting his fate. Edward Gibbon called it "a golden volume not unworthy of the leisure of Plato or Tully" (Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, XXXIX).
In prison, the writer rails against his misfortune and the injustice he has suffered. He is visited by Lady Philosophy, ie philosophy personified. This reminds one of Wisdom, personified in books of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, namely, Proverbs, The Wisdom of Solomon and Ecclesiasticus (also known as Sirach), and of Job. Classical philosophy is relevant too, eg stoicism.
Philosophy identifies happiness with goodness and goodness in turn with God. The good become like gods. Virtue is its own reward.
Boёthius addresses the issue of free will versus predestination (or foreknowledge). Some things happen of necessity, such as the daily rising of the sun; other things happen of free will, such as the decisions of human beings. Human understanding is not equal to that of God. "The operation of human reasoning cannot approach the immediacy of divine foreknowledge." (Boёthius, Book 5 – tr V Watts, Penguin, London, 1999). Moreover, to God, all events take place in an eternal present.
The argument is well put rather than resolved. (Indeed, can it be resolved?)
Troilus and Criseyde
Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are widely known; but Troilus and Criseyde is finished and polished, psychologically perceptive, funny and sad by turns, indeed very poignant.
Troilus is written in five books – in "rhyme royal stanzas": ABABBCC.
The story is based on the Filostrato of Giovanni Boccaccio [14th century]. Chaucer also draws upon Boёthius and other classical and medieval writers.
Chaucer's love story mainly involves the eponymous Troilus and Criseyde, and Pandarus, who aids and abets them. It is set against the background of the Trojan War. The first three books give an account of the success of the love affair.
Books 4 and 5 describe the break-up of the relationship, consequent upon an exchange of prisoners of war, and Troilus's vain efforts to find Criseyde and to renew their relationship, in the face of her new loyalty to the Greek warrior, Diomede.
Troilus speculates as to whether the break-up was inevitable, decreed by fate. He enters upon Boёthian philosophising, but stops before he finds any resolution, such as that offered in the Consolation. He emphasises predestination at the expense of free will:
For al that comth, comth by necesitee:
Thus to ben lorn [lost], it is my destinee.
(Book 4, lines 958-9)
['Riverside Chaucer', ed LG Benson, OUP, Oxford, 1988]
Troilus turns from thought to action. He takes it upon himself to fight harder than ever for the Trojan cause. He is eventually killed, by Achilles (Book 5).
So far, the story is sad, verging on the tragic. But Chaucer provides a sophisticated sort of happy ending – not the sort one might expect.
Chaucer writes an epilogue to the whole, drawing upon Boccaccio's Teseida and Dante's Paradiso. He portrays Troilus's soul rising from earth to heaven, through the spheres of the Ptolemaic system. The point is that now Troilus looks back with detachment at the mundane concerns of the living:
And down from thennes faste he gan avyse [look at]
This litel spot of erthe that with the se [sea]
Embraced is, and fully gan despise
This wrecched world, and held al vanite
To [in] respect of the pleyn felicite
That is in hevene above….
(Bk 5, lines 1814-19)
The end Chaucer chooses – does it appear contrived or fitting? One can argue it either way. I think that many writers (especially later ones) would choose to end the story with Troilus's death, or even earlier, at the point where he understands that his love affair is over (see Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida). The epilogue (concerning detachment) is itself detachable!
One should note, however, that Chaucer has already prepared for the conclusion: in Book 5 he gives a physical description of the principal characters, as a resumé, and in the process he subtly enables the reader to become detached from them. This prepares us for Troilus's fortune at the end.
Both these books are fine pieces of writing.

Ancient Unfinised Obelisk
Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan, Egypt This obelisk appears to have been abandonned after being fractured during extraction from its bed in the quarry. Its weight is estimated at 1250 tons - c. 2000 BC,The unfinished obelisk one of the most famous stones left behind is the Unfinished Obelisk, more than twice the size of any known obelisk ever raised. Quarrymen apparently abandoned the obelisk when fractures appeared in its sides. However, the stone, still attached to bedrock, gives important clues to how the ancients quarried granite. Much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from quarries in the Aswan area (500 miles south of Cairo). The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Possibly intended as a companion to the Lateran Obelisk, originally at Karnak, now in Rome, it would have measured 120-feet and weighed over 1150 tons when complete.

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. The new skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun.
There are three basic types of chemical peels:
A thorough evaluation by a dermatologic surgeon is imperative before embarking upon a chemical peel.
Chemical peels are used to treat a number of conditions including:
Generally light-haired and fair skinned people are the best candidates for chemical peel. The procedure does not work as well on dark-skinned patients. The procedure is not recommended for individuals with infections, active skin disease, cut or broken skin, sunburns or active Herpes simplex 1 sores. Other counter-indications include patients who are:

Chemicals peels sting but do not cause a great deal of pain. The gentlest peels use alpha-hydroxy, glycolic, lactic or fruit acids are also gentle. They may cause stinging, redness, irritation and crusting but as the skin begins to adjust all these problems will lessen.
Trichloroacetic acids are used for stronger peelings. They remove wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems. Phenol is the strongest of all treatments and removes deep lines and wrinkles on the face. These type of treatments sting more than those with the gentler acids. After the treatment there may be redness, swelling and irritation but the use of creams and gels will reduce these effects. Also the doctor may prescribe medicines that will help relieve the problems after the peel.
All peels require some follow-up care:
Before (left) and after (right) Acne and Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - after Tazortene, hydroquinone, and salicylic acid chemical peels

Sun exposure and smoking after a chemical peel must be avoided because they can cause unwanted side effects, including infection and scarring.

'Lalu's language doesn't befit his stature'
Quiz him on making headlines for all the wrong reasons and he'll turn self-righteous, writes Vinod Sharma.india Updated: Oct 08, 2005 02:37 IST
Quiz him on making headlines for all the wrong reasons and he'll turn self-righteous, quoting Guru Gobind Singh's "Jabey baan lagey, tabey roush jagey" bit to suggest that he wouldn't be the one to quit the battle-field. Provoke him with Lalu Prasad Yadav's famous "my appointee" boast and he'll remind you of the RJD leader's penchant for remarks that "aren't expected of a man of his stature".
As Bihar governor, Buta Singh evokes no envy. His May 21 report for dissolution of the state assembly is under the apex court's scrutiny. And the EC recently upbraided his administration for violating the model code in postings and transfers in the poll-bound state.
Singh's crisis, in fact, is that of an image in conflict with the task at hand. He never had the NDA's trust. And the letter he wrote -- on gubernatorial stationery -- to Lalu for a Railway official's transfer left even the RJD-Congress combine a trifle circumspect about his political utility (or is it legitimacy?) in the office he occupies.
From the governor's comments, it's apparent that he feels "wronged" -- rather than embarrassed -- by the fuss over his letter to the Rail mantri. While on the subject, his composure wavered when, at one point, he said there would be a lot of red faces at high places if he were to name those who sought and got favours from him as Bihar's governor.
"They are people in such positions that if I mention their names, they'd really be in soup. They not only took favours, they took me physically (sic) to deliver those favours to them," Singh told HT in an interview. He saw nothing wrong in his recommendation for transfer and Lalu's rejection of it on grounds of a vigilance probe against the officer: "I've been in politics since 1962 and have headed 15 ministries. People expect me to help them in difficulty. This has also been the practice in this country."
Singh spoke with caution on the dissolution case before a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court. He said the NDA never staked claim, formally or informally, to form the government. "After my May 21 report was considered and adopted by the Union Cabinet, they rushed to Delhi but never came to Patna. Till today, I don't have a letter from either the NDA or their socalled leader (read Nitish Kumar), saying that he was willing to form the government."
Nitish didn't bring up the subject even at a chance meeting they had at the airport while taking the same flight. "Unhoney itna bhi nahin kaha ki bhaiya, yeh kya kiya aapney mere saath... Woh tou merey sey Guru Gobind Singh ki life ki kahaniyan suntey rahe. I'd have been good in his eyes if I had gone to him with a royal canopy to swear him in. But the Constitution did not permit me to do that." On the EC's comments, Singh insisted that at his level, the postings were ordered a day ahead of the announcement of the election schedule. "It isn't my fault if the junior staff delayed notifications. I've instructed the chief secretary to punish officials if delays on their part were intentional," he said.
But can a governor flaunted as the "appointee" of a major contender in elections carry conviction with other parties? Will Singh help cap the controversy by moving over to another State before Bihar goes to polls?
Difficult questions. But Singh sought to make light of suggestions of his "proximity" to the RJD boss: "Raj Bhawan is about 100 meters from Lalu's residence in Patna. If that's closeness, then yes, I'm close to him." He said he couldn't be expected to comment on his transfer because that wasn't in his hands. "It's a rumour mill let loose by a section of the media. There is no basis to it..."
"What can I do if somebody feels (that I am a liability). This is a very personal remark against someone who has been in public life for over four decades," he continued.
On Lalu's comment (that he was his appointee as governor) which prompted the NDA to demand his recall, Singh tried hard to be restrained: "I cannot be commenting on his style. He's known for making remarks that aren't expected of a man of his stature."
To ensure "free and fair" elections, the governor promised to "crush any mafia, any strongman who dares to stop the electorate from voting". But he had no plausible explanation for his administration's failure to nab RJD MP Shahabuddin.

Annaleise Chalmers
'I wanted a degree that had weight behind it...'
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Engineering
Senior Consultant, Ernst and Young, Sydney, Australia
Annaleise sees her degree in Mechanical Engineering as just the first step in a varied and interesting career.
'I wanted a degree that had weight behind it, that would teach me to think from first principles and that would give me skills that can be potentially transferred into another field. Basically Engineering is an excellent first degree,' she says.
She chose to study Mechanical Engineering at UC after being inspired by one of the academic staff here. Annaleise was one of three high school students from New Zealand to be sponsored by the Royal Society of New Zealand and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise to attend the BioFutures forum in Brisbane, Australia. 'During the application process I met Professor Tim David and others working in the biotechnology and biomedical engineering fields. As a result of the work Tim was doing on modelling blood flow to the brain and designing a heart valve, I became extremely enthusiastic about an Engineering degree.'
After graduating from UC, Annaleise was quick to land a role at Opus International Consultants Ltd in Christchurch, where she worked as an assistant mechanical engineer. Her first role centred on building services design work in the fields of HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) and hydraulics. 'Basically I did a bit of everything so that I could gain broad experience and develop my skills in report writing, client relationships and communication, research and problem solving.'
'I really enjoyed using what I had been taught at UC in a professional, real-world environment, and understanding that there is far more to it than technical expertise – thank goodness! At Opus I worked in a great team, with people who are helpful, practical and experienced.'
Annaleise then moved within Opus to work with its marine and ports team. It was an opportunity to gain more experience in corporate finance, an area she had decided to move into. 'Through that time I was doing earthquake-related work. Lyttelton Port of Christchurch (LPC) had a significant claim and I was involved in their reinstatement plan, material damage and business interruption claims, and their asset management plan. This was fantastic experience as I got to work closely with LPC's CEO, CFO and lawyers, and with Opus' ports experts.'
Annaleise went on to complete a Masters of Applied Finance at Macquarie University in Sydney, and now works as a Senior Consultant in the Valuation and Business Modelling team at Ernst and Young.
Looking back, she says she enjoyed her studies at UC. 'Like most things in life, it is the people that make the experience far more enjoyable,' she says. 'The technical content of the courses was great, especially in the final year, and the lecturers made a real effort to apply the theory to industrial situations and make the lectures interesting and fun.'
Annaleise advises anyone considering studying towards an Engineering degree that it requires dedication and enthusiasm to succeed. 'The degree is designed to teach you to think logically and systematically, but at the same time outside the box. It is definitely worth the hard work, and it is the best feeling when you have completed it.'

Some months after being taken in by the Seppun, Kojiro was out with a small group of hunters when they spotted another group on the plains. After observing the other group's urgent pace, the hunting party realized that there were armed pursuers chasing the first group. Gazing across the grassy plain, Kojiro recognized one of the pursuers as Akuya, the betrayer of their old tribe.
Speaking with Akagi's son, Hiro, he managed to convince the young Seppun that they should lay an ambush for the pursuers, who were almost certainly Noriaki. Stealthily placing themselves in the path of the two groups, Kojiro and the Seppun waited until the Noriaki were almost upon them. Just before the pursuers could fall upon their prey, the hunting party from Seppun Hill rose out of the tall grass and fired arrows at the aggressors.
Within moments, the group fleeing the Noriaki was safe, and Hiro had spoken with their leader, Katashi. The intimidating warrior explained that they were some of the last members of the Tribe of Kohaku. Just like Kojiro's smaller tribe, the Kohaku were attacked by the Noriaki and nearly wiped out. Hiro agreed to bring them the rest of the way to Seppun Hill, and let them petition his parents to shelter the Kohaku survivors.
As they trekked back towards Seppun Village, Kojiro could not help but notice one of the Kohaku; a pretty young woman carrying a spear. Although he had already built and lost a family once, the sight of this (much) younger woman left him keenly aware of his own solitary existence. The journey back to the village gave him several opportunities to aid the refugees, and Kojiro found himself spending much more time than necessary around the pretty spear-carrier. He learned her name, Ayane, of her people's misfortune, and her own more personal loss. With her, he shared the story of his own tribe's downfall, and the hope he and Kenji had found with the Seppun.
Once the leaders of the Seppun agreed to shelter the last few Kohaku, Katashi asked for assistance searching out the few Kohaku warriors who had gone after the prisoners taken by the Noriaki. Kojiro volunteered to guide those who went on the mission, as the lands they would be crossing were those his own tribe had once inhabited. He left Kenji under the care of the Seppun, instructing him to be as helpful as possible to the Kohaku refugees while he was away.
After many days of travel, they finally came to a river that divided the plains. There, group from Seppun Village spotted the warriors they sought across the water. They were being pursued by a group of Noriaki lead by the witch, Nishang. The river was to broad and the current too strong where they were, so both groups agreed to meet downstream at a ford. However, by the time Kojiro's group made it to them, the witch had already caught up with them. Before those from Seppun Hill could arrive to offer aid, a mighty Kohaku warrior named Asura had slew the witch in single combat!

Beyonce Makes First Post-Baby Appearance
Beyonce is back! The new mom made her first post-baby appearance last night at husband Jay-Z's show at Carnegie Hall. How did she look?
Absolutely stunning. Come on, it's Beyonce we're talking about! Clad in a clinging coral dress, gold hoops and fierce black Louboutins, Queen Bey was curvy, glowing and gorgeous. Beyonce's new curves should put the naysayers who claim she faked her pregnancy to rest!
Us Weekly reports that proud new papa Jay-Z got choked up during his performance of 'Glory,' his duet with newborn Blue Ivy. A source told the magazine, "He asked the crowd if there are any proud parents out there. Then after he said, 'I didn't think I was gonna make it through that one — that was tough."
Beyonce arrived at the 40/40 Club after-party about half an hour after Jay-Z walked the red carpet. While neither Mr. nor Mrs. Carter spoke to reporters, a source told the mag, "She made a much bigger effort to say hello to nearly everyone, making rounds around the whole club before joining Jay-Z and guests in the VIP room."
Hov and Bey hired babysitters (or just put Blue's alleged six nannies to use) for a good cause: The concert and after-party benefited Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Foundation and the United Way of New York City. Would you expect anything less?

"Iron Man" #5 from Kieron Gillen and Greg Land is another good issue for the series. While other Marvel NOW! books have grabbed headlines for running the extended spectrums of being amazing or terrible, "Iron Man" has hidden in the background doing some very cool things without as much fanfare. The main reason being that Kieron Gillen delivers great scripts that are brought down by subpar art from Greg Land.
This issue is another standalone tale that rounds out a connected arc. Tony Stark has been chasing down Extremis kits used and housed by other people. He tracks the last one down to an old friend and makes the choices he feels need to be made. This issue's complication and resolution are delivered quickly but that doesn't stop Gillen from dropping some smart moments in the short space taken. Gillen shows that he understands the level on which a genius like Stark needs to be operating. It's nice to see the techno-mumbo-jumbo used effectively for both character and audience.
The meat of the tale is shortened and the last third of the book serves as a coda to the arc. Every writer and artist wants to put their own stamp on Iron Man. They want to redesign the suit or design a new suit. As the years go by, Stark's armor has become a fashion change that switches with the season. This creative team is no different, but they certainly want their big moment to be driven by the narrative. Gillen caps this arc with a mission statement involving character, suit, location and overall heroic capacity. It's a great idea that should yield interesting plot points in the future.
Greg Land has become the elephant in the room for "Iron Man." His art is excessively subpar and downright bad in some places. Land can draw the suit well -- his technological skills are up to the job for this book -- but when a real human enters the page, it all falls apart. Pepper Potts continues to look like a plastic idea of what a woman might be and Stark's face continually changes from panel to panel. The inconsistencies are just as annoying as the copy-paste faces for other sequences. There is no human flow on the page.
"Iron Man" #5 is another enjoyable one-shot in this overall arc from Gillen and Land. Gillen has structured these tales to be tight and effective and his coda at the end here is a very cool way to set up the future of the title. It is a shame that the art from Land is so ineffective and distracting. He delivers on some cool moments -- just look at the cover for what he can do -- but overall it's hard to take the book seriously when it looks like this. Nonetheless, "Iron Man" has been enjoyable and written and structured well, so hopefully readers will continue to enjoy that aspect of the title.

Note: Professor Robert Zajonc (pronounced ZYE-unts) died from pancreatic cancer on December 3, 2008, at his home in Stanford, California. Social Psychology Network is maintaining this profile for visitors who wish to learn more about Professor Zajonc's work. For additional information, please see these articles in the New York Times and the APS Observer:
After obtaining his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1955, Robert Zajonc became a professor there until 1994, having held the positions of Director of the Institute for Social Research and Director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics. He then joined the faculty at Stanford University, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychology.
Throughout his long and distinguished career, Professor Zajonc has had research interests in basic processes implicated in social behavior, with a special emphasis on the interface between affect and cognition. In a series of well-known studies, he examined circumstances under which affective influences can take place in the absence of cognitive contributions.
For this ground-breaking work Professor Zajonc has received a number of honors, including Doctorates Honoris Causa from the University of Louvain, the Society for Experimental Social Psychology Distinguished Scientist Award, and the APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

I bought this book based on the description, and looked at reviews after the fact. They were pretty mixed, and many of them quite critical. So when I started I had some feelings of trepidation, to be sure.
Edie's brother is a drug addict, and she's sick of watching him flirt with overdose and infection. So when she's offered a mysterious nursing job on a floor called Y4, in exchange for a mysterious promise that her brother will become clean, she takes it. Y4 turns out to be where non-human patients are sent--vampires and their servants, werewolves, shapeshifters, zombies, and so forth. When a patient dies on Edie's watch, having asked her with his last words to find Anna, she's compelled to do just that. Her actions soon put her on trial with the vampires, in a life or death struggle for survival.
The best parts of the book are, without a doubt, those that take place in the hospital. You can tell the author knows nursing, and has just added the supernatural parts in for flavor, and as a result it feels very real. I was drawn into Edie's life and her struggles to fit in and do her job.
Edie's a surprisingly novel sort of heroine. She's kind of a screw up--she makes mistakes that endanger patients and coworkers, she makes questionable personal decisions, she has random unprotected sex...But she has a good heart, too, and she means well, and she's terribly easy to relate to. At every turn, I could easily see myself making the same fatal errors.
Among the secondary characters, we meet a zombie and a shapeshifter--both potential love interests, predictably. But the zombie is really different from your typical UF hero, and I found myself very intrigued by him. He's not at all attractive, for one, with lots of scars. I hope to see more of him as the series progresses.
The biggest problem with the book is that, outside of the hospital the plot mostly drags. It is not nearly as inspired, and the mystery is not something I could force myself to care about.
Overall, this urban fantasy manages to stand out a bit because of the medical aspects and it's oddly appealing heroine. I hope for great things from this series. 4 stars.

I haven't seen this one--looks kinda interesting!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the review!Replies
Definitely interesting to readers that like the hospital setting and the science details. I had nursing school friends in college, and it kind of took me back to running flashcards with them.Delete
I really love this book and the second is great too! So curious now for the third...ReplyDeleteReplies
I'd definitely like to put book two in my line-up for sometime in the coming year. It will be fun to see where the series goes.Delete

Watch the Olympics!!
(Oh, and wear protection)
My post was the first to impregnate this thread.
It's Phelps by a head...SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm SURE they're paying Mr. Phelps a royalty for those shirts, right?
Braniff --
I think Mr. Phelps is a bit on the outs with the family for the past decade or so. The Baltimore press has reported that the Dad has asked to not be contacted for comment.
If the T-Shirt were accurate, the Michael Phelps sperm would have been doing the
bazoomage breast stroke.
Alias - I don't know about the dad, but his mom has been featured at poolside by the media.
In a controversial finish, the Cavic sperm is again beaten by 0.001 second...
Having viewed the t-shirt, I'm assuming that the people at the local drinking hole are smashed out of their minds and would laugh hysterically at a root canal...
I doubt the guys would be laughing very long if they saw their wife or girlfriend wearing this t-shirt ...
(though I'm guessing Siouxie has it in three different colors...)
Now that's funny. Updating the gold medal hunt, Michael Phelps is tied for 7th place with South Korea and Japan.
Now that's phunny.
NMUA. Sorry, I meant Michael Phelps himself. But I didn't know that about his Dad. I was wondering why he's never mentioned.
wait, i don't get it.
oh, because michael phelps is a fast swimmer!
hehehehe good one!
Heh! Cute shirt. So...who got the silver egg?
RE: his Dad, I found this:
Almost as ubiquitous as golden boy Michael Phelps has been his mom, Debbie.
But nowhere to be seen (or heard) has been Phelps' dad Fred, who tells the New York Post that he hasn't even talked to his son since he left for the Olympics. Turns out that Ma and Pa Phelps divorced when Michael was nine, and has been "in and out" of Michael's life.
"I'm very proud of him and all he's done," says Fred. "This is not about me, it's about him."
It's funny. I want the shirt.
One of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut quotes had to do with his lack of athletic achievements. Then he started telling people he was "descended from a long unbroken line of champion swimmers."
That's how I remember it, anyway. Anybody with the actual quote, love to see it.
The Olympics took the low, wonderful path to marketing. Believe me this sells:
Microcosm's linky, which should under no circumstances be opened at work, if you are male; or even if you are female (NTTAWWT) ...
That's the best laugh I've had in weeks! Keep up the good work, Dave!

A Phase I-II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Anti-Disease Activity of the Aminopeptidase Inhibitor, CHR-2797, in Elderly and/or Treatment Refractory Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Multiple Myeloma
This is an open-label, non-randomised, multi-centre phase I-II study of CHR-2797
administered orally once a day. The study involves two distinct phases:
Phase I: an open-label, dose-escalating phase of the study to explore the safety,
tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CHR-2797. Cohorts of 3-6 patients each will be
treated with escalating, once daily, oral doses of CHR-2797 for 84 days (12 weeks), of which
the first 28 days constitute the dose finding/ DLT phase. The starting dose will be 60 mg
once daily. Doses will be increased in a stepwise fashion by around 40 percent per step
until the MTD is reached. The proportion of patients with Multiple Myeloma will be limited
to one third: one per cohort of 3 or 2 per cohort of 6. It is anticipated that 24-30
patients will be enrolled in the phase I portion of the trial. A decision will be made with
regard to the disease indication to be tested in phase II (either AML/MDS or MM or both),
after completion of phase I, or following definition of MTD.
Phase II: the recommended dose as determined in phase I, will be administered for 84 days to
a maximum of 40 patients. The primary objective is to determine whether CHR-2797 has
sufficient biological activity against the disease(s) under study. A multinomial stopping
rule has been included in the design that incorporates objective responses and early
progression into a decision to stop or continue this phase I/II trial. An interim assessment
will be performed after 15 patients have received the maximum acceptable dose (MAD) dose of
CHR-2797 with clearly defined early stopping rules.
There will be a clinical conference at the end of every cohort in the phase I portion of the
study, between phase I and II and after the first 15 patients have completed therapy in
phase II.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Phase I: To determine the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CHR-2797 when administered orally, once daily.

text: Monster Python Bagged in Florida 18-footer is just short of state record By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Feb 5, 2014 11:46 PM CST 19 comments Comments The snake was bagged by Bobby Hill, a python control agent for the South Florida Water Management District. (South Florida Water Management District) (Newser) – A huge Burmese python shot and killed by a snake control agent in the Florida Everglades is long enough to swallow the world's two tallest people with room to spare, but the 18-footer is just shy of the state record. The 150-pound female was measured at 18 feet 2 inches, a little shorter than the 18-foot-8 monster found by a roadside last spring, LiveScience finds. The carcass has been sent to University of Florida biologists who are trying to stop the spread of the invasive reptiles that are wiping out native wildlife, reports the Miami Herald.

Lea Michele Talks 'Glee' Super Bowl Episode
Lea Michele rubs shoulders with fellow actress Christina Ricci at AT&T's BlackBerry Torch launch party on Wednesday (August 11) in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old actress wore a Jenni Kayne ensemble, Brian Atwood shoes, Gerard Darel bag, Neil Lane earrings and Jen Cohen ring.
Glee co-star Mark Salling was spotted getting in some guy-bonding time with The Secret Life of the American Teenager star Daren Kagasoff (both pictured below).
LISTEN: Mark's single "Higher Power"
Lea recently told THR what music she's hoping the February episode of Glee will celebrate. She spilled, "I think they are saving Justin Timberlake for the Super Bowl episode. They have to be, because he is so perfect for our show. He has to be on it! When I met Jessica Biel, like a loser, I asked her to tell Justin to come on our show (laughs). She was a little taken aback and said, 'Um, OK. I'll tell him.' If not Justin, I would hope it would be the sequel to the Madonna episode. She has so many more amazing songs we didn't even touch."

Zuddiger's Picnic
(Found by Simon in a small cabin on the southern banks of the River Ethrai)
Description: This page is all that remains of a book found burned in the cabin's fireplace. It is a beautiful hand-painted scene depicting a man sitting in a wooded glade having a picnic with bread and jam. Over his head a crow looms from a tree branch. The text beneath is short and simple. "All that follows is true."
(Found in the caves beneath the Fort of the Stag Lord)
Description: A framed woodcut illustration. This page depicts an elated Zuddiger standing before a strange, but beautiful elven-looking woman wearing a dress made from vines and leaves – she holds a spoon in one hand and a frightened crow in the other. In the background, a large house rises on an island. Written at the bottom are the words: "As it turned out, neither did that nasty crow!"

Choosing the right rack cabinet for your installation requires forethought and planning in order to avoid the headache of having to make do – and all the Velcro tying and increased electricity consumption that goes with it.
The right rack cabinet, coupled with intelligent use of smart PDUs (power distribution units) or power strips, will enable you to get more equipment into less space, reduce cooling requirements overall, plan for future expansion, streamline and secure cable runs, get the best from the latest power technologies, increase cabinet security, ease maintenance and tailor your rack design to work for you.
What is a Server Rack?
A server rack (also known as server cabinet, 19" Rack enclosure, rack mount enclosure, network enclosure, data rack and so on) is a metal deployed most commonly in data centres and computer rooms to securely house equipment such as servers, routers, switches and PDUs. Their size has been standardised internationally by the EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) so that the customary size is 19 inches (482.6mm) wide with rails that are 17.75 inches (450.85mm) apart and the height of which is measured in 1.75 inch (44.45mm) increments.
The elements to consider before choosing a cabinet are:
• Rack cooling and airflow.
• Size and type of equipment housed within the 19" racks and future expansion plans.
• Rack weight capacity.
• Physical security.
Rack Cooling and airflow
The type of cooling system deployed within your installation will have a significant bearing on your choice of rack cabinet – and vice versa. The type of rack cabinet deployed will greatly affect air-flow and cooling requirements.
The baseline kW of heat output per rack varies widely, depending upon type and density of equipment. The norm is 4-12kW per rack but in high-density data centres it can be as high as 30-50kW.
Fully perforated 19" rack designs, which have slatted steel or louvered doors (front and rear) and side panels, will enable maximum airflow if your primary method of cooling is ambient air cooling (fans, air handlers, blowers and room level air-conditioning) with a raised floor.
Fully-sealed server racks (those that have solid, high-grade steel doors all round) should be used in environments that employ liquid cooling units or rack level air-conditioning.
Size and Type of equipment housed within the 19" racks and future expansion plans.
You need to be sure to select a server rack with sufficient internal space to house the equipment you currently have, plus accommodate any future expansion plans. Retrofitting more racks within an existing rack structure is difficult.
Rackmount equipment is measured in EIA standard Rack Units (also known as Rack U). One Rack U is equal to 1.75 inches (45mm) in height. Rackmount accessories, such as environmental monitoring devices, remote power management products, rackmount LCD monitors and battery back-up may also need to be accommodated within the rack space. If you need to accommodate 20 2U servers, you would choose a rack height of 44U as this would give enough space to house the servers, plus a 1U patch panel and 2U UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and battery back-up.
Rack Weight Capacity
Racks are designed to hold specific maximum weights, depending upon what material they are made from (Steel or Aluminium), and whether its frame is welded or not. They also have different load bearing capacity in terms of static weight and movable weight. It is advisable to use appropriate rack loading techniques, such as ensuring heavy items are based at the bottom of the rack to avoid toppling.
Physical Security
Equipment housed within your rack system is valuable, not only in monetary terms but for what it enables your business or operation to do and it must be protected against deliberate or accidental security hazards. There are several things you can do and many quality server rack systems have locking front and rear doors. Environmental monitoring devices will monitor racks and several offer door sensors that support "normally open" or "normally closed" conditions and can alert operators when a door has been opened. In addition, docked camera pods and sensor pods are available for some racks, which allow continuous visual monitoring of server rooms and racks and may even offer audio recording.
Critical Power Supplies stocks a diverse range of 19" Rack Cabinets, Racks and accessories from leading manufacturers, including environmental monitoring equipment and enclosure-based PDUs (ePDUs), suitable for all high and low-density applications: network closets, computer rooms and data centres.
Key Features include:
• Universal sizing (EIA 310-D).
• Perforated doors allowing 67% airflow.
• Split rear doors for easy access.
• Perforated top panel with cable entry for supplementary cable management pathways.
• Unique comfort handles with key lock insert.
• Levelling feet for maximum stability.
