Chris' Reviews 8/23-ish
As promised, 3 weeks worth of comic reviews, most of which are sure to infuriate! (Mainly because I seem to have the exact opposite opinion of everyone else about most of these.) As always, Massive Spoilers Ahoy!
Yes, I liked Identity Crisis. Yes, I liked this issue. No, it didn't have any punching. Yes, it had a lot of in-character narration. Yes, a lot of people are going to not like this. And I'm not sure why, although Greg Hatcher from Comics Should Be Good shares his reasons.
Quite honestly, the "who gets in" issues from the old Avengers and JLA were always the most interesting for me as a kid, so I'm delighted to see one here, especially since it's a really well done one. Red Tornado gets a lot of screen time, and the flashback panels with Kathy Sutton are a nice touch as well.
Also, Mr. Miracle's opposite twin (Dr. Impossible?) decapitates two of the Metal Men. Sweeeeeeeet. Bonus points for a "Hush Tube"!
(Side note: I am in fact one of those people with a double standard --- or 'humans', as I call them. It's OK to kill robots. Every. Single. Time.)
In fact, in seeming response to bloggers who posted about how Red Tornado's entire purpose seems to be blowing up, it's a major plot point here! Take THAT, comicsblogoweb!
So we get what anyone who's remotely familiar with Meltzer's work probably should have expected: a set-up issue with good character bits, no action, and a hint of a deeper mystery. Also, I quite liked the art.
Best Moment: Batman and Superman's immediate rejection of Supergirl as a League member: "No." "No." Funny, because that was the same reaction I had when I saw the panel.
Worst Moment: The Red Tornado/Deadman conversation was plodding. But hey, Felix Faust showed up at the end!
Comic Book Goodness: I'm giving this one a solid 3/5. Maybe I'm a sucker, but there were more than enough nods to the various eras of JLA-ness to keep me happy, and as I said: I really think Meltzer's characterization of the Big Three works. Between liking this and Identity Crisis, I am now officially a comicsblogoweb leper.
Captain America and the Falcon team up to take care of a white supremacist group that's using Ultimate Arnim Zola (who's an AI program in the Ultiverse) to concoct a Super Soldier Death Powder to, um, make Super Soldiers. Intercut with flashbacks to Cap's WWII adventure wherein he took down --- shock! --- Zola's Super Soldier back in the day, and saddled with a
heavy, heavy message on race relations.
This was at times clunky and hard-to-follow, but I can't deny that this made for some compelling reading. From Cap's monologue on just how he's still painfully aware that he's got a 60-year chunk of history missing to Falcon's refusal to be the subservient soldier under Cap's command, there are a few really interesting bits of characterization.
Also, Cap and Falcon get a sweet ride in a Trans Am, and said panel is overflowing with cool-osity.
But the race message (which is admittedly hard to do well in comics anyway) drops thuddingly every time the action heats up. And the beginning would seem to give away the end of Ultimates 2 (not that we were predicting anything differently anyway).
But I really enjoyed Ryan Sook's art in the flashbacks, Mike Deodato's art in the present, and the cover. So it wins on those counts.
Best Moment: "So, for the permanent record, do not treat me like your Step-and-Fetchit noncom ever again. Understood?" --- Falcon to Cap
Worst Moment: This was my first exposure to Ultimate Falcon, so, I didn't know those wings could decapitate folks. Huh. Also, ew.
Comic Book Goodness: 3/5. Interesting vignette, decent action and good art. Probably would have been better if it hadn't tried to be so "Message"-y.
In this issue, we learn that Diana's new role as Agent of Whatever was supplied to her by Batman (more about this later), Tim Drake's known the whole time where she's been, Cassie gets pissed about it, then Giganta shows up wearing Donna Troy as a necklace (heh) and Nemesis, Cassie, Tim and Diana try to take down Giganta, Cheetah, and Dr. Psycho.
Just as Diana's ready to transform back into Wonder Woman via an absolutely WONDERFUL Lynda Carter twirl-around, she's stopped by Hercules.
I had several problems with this comic.
First off, the idea that Batman gave WW a new identity after she's made so much out of finding out who she really is kind of counterintuitive. "Having trouble discovering what you're really all about? Here's a fake ID, made-up past and new job in which you get to live a lie!" Also, apparently her time during the year off didn't provide the answers she was looking for? Disappointing.
I didn't go back and read issue #1, but I forget why all the bad guys are looking for Diana.
I'm not well versed in the DCU's version of Hercules, but here's hoping he's much like the Marvel version (e.g., strong, arrogant, and a little bit naive). Someone feel free to illuminate me!
But the biggest problem here is... drumroll please... lateness. We already know that Diana's going back to being Wonder Woman thanks to Justice League of America. So it becomes a question of "when", not "if", and I naively thought that there was a real chance for a status quo change here. (Not that I was rooting against Diana, but that question was a story hook for me.) So my interest level in seeing Diana not being WW for the rest of the arc is greatly diminished.
Best Moment: The twirl. Man, what a tease!
Worst Moment: I still can't get over the Batman-supplied new life. I thought that was SO not the point. I thought we were looking at a more independent, free-willed WW who's determining her own fate from now on.
Comic Book Goodness: 2/5. Serviceable art, but I just can't say I'm interested in Diana Prince: Agent of Whatever --- once she's back to being WW and can be the focus of her own book, I'll jump back on. Maybe I'll give the next issue a shot. I dunno.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray's relaunch of Heroes for Hire starts us smack dab in the middle of the action, as we're introduced to Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Tarantula, Humbug, and Shang Chi.
(Black Cat is also a member, but for some reason she doesn't get her own text-heavy explanatory splash page like the others.)
The setup is fairly simple: these folks are hired guns, hunting down bad guys for cash, and don't answer to anyone but themselves.
Of course, this being a Marvel comic, it's saddled with Civil War baggage. Surprisingly, it ends up being the closest any CW-related comic I've read has come yet to actually discussing the issues that Marvel so desperately wants us to think about.
Bottom line is that HFH decides to go all "Wyatt Earp on the criminal underworld", but won't be hunting down heroes. Which is cool with me.
Not as funny as I'd have expected, but there's not a lot wrong with this comic --- plus I gets me some Shang Chi! (I have a completely irrational fascination with Shang Chi. I cannot explain this.)
So here's hoping that P&G can keep the 70's-action-flick vibe going in subequent issues, with the snappy dialogue and mercenary nature of the team taking center stage. Personally, I'm confident it will, and this cheesecake-and-punch laden comic is a guilty pleasure already.
The other thing I like about it is this is a perfect opportunity for Marvel to bring in B- through D- List characters on a rotating one or two issue basis, since they can be hired and fired at will.
Best Moment: HFH is referred to as "Kung Fu sex bombs". Nice bit of self-awareness there. Plus: the explanation of why Humbug is a valuable member of the team (insect spy network).
Worst Moment: Paladin and Orka show up that the end (yeeesh), but I think they were just contracted for a specific job, so hopefully they won't be back next ish.
Comic Book Goodness: 3/5. I can dig it; trashy fun.
ANNIHILATION #1 (of 6)
In what I greeted with derision and scorn upon hearing it announced, I hath found humility and a lesson.
That lesson?
Don't underestimate my ability to misdirect snark.
Holy hell, I loved this comic!
It's all-out war between the Annihilus/Thanos axis and, well, pretty much the rest of the galaxy as an older, war-torn Nova and Drax, Ronan, and Starlord (F#$% yeah!) fight valiantly to mount some sort of resistance. Helped by former heralds, no less. Yep, those heralds.
Oh, and Galactus shows up at the end and gets his world-devourin' ass kicked by Aegis and Tenebrous.
Don't be fooled for one minute: this is a war comic, narrated as such by Nova and very intensive with the cosmic smashy-smash.
But it's all brilliantly done, and feels more like an episode of Band of Brothers than anything else. Did I mention that Giffen promised us SpaceKnights? Hell yeah. This is exciting, action-packed stuff, and it's hard not to feel like very bad things are going to happen next issue.
Now if we could just figure out why Marvel keeps pretending this series doesn't exist.
Best Moment: "They took down Galactus. God help us." --- Nova
Worst Moment: I can't decide if the fact that Drax the Destroyer's costume consists of slacks, shoes, and no shirt is incredibly cool or incredibly dopey.
Comic Book Goodness: 4/5. Great work.
IRON MAN #11 --- Yep, I was more or less right, which is just fine by me. This ish does the reveal nicely, and features a cool takedown of the Sentry by IM (overloading the Cloc thing to give Bob a nervous breakdown), a nice fakeout with an I-should-have-seen-it-coming Tony-less armor, and momentum for the last ish of the arc, in which Yinsen activates the Iron Mega-Robots mentioned in the first issue. I'm not lying when I say that as a fan if the next issue doesn't falter, this will have been the best IM story in three years. CBG: 4/5.
BATMAN #656 --- Everyone else seems to like this comic a lot more than I do. It's one big fight with ninja Man-bats in an art museum, yes the pop-art backgrounds are clever, yes the name "Jezebel Jet" sucks (what, "Tramp Steamer" was already taken?), but overall so far this is a less compelling Batman read than Detective. I can't explain why I don't like this more. CBG: 2/5.
SECRET SIX #3 (of 6) --- A little emotion, a little humor, and scads of betrayal mark the halfway point here, as we see that Vandal Savage has been acting the puppetmaster, the team stuggles to sort things out, and bonds between comrades are put to the test (figuratively and literally). Good stuff, all round. CBG: 3/5.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #3 --- Holy Compression, Batman! A 3-issue arc! And one that wraps up nicely, as the mystery and motives behind the warrior-killing is exposed (and makes sense), the Hill Street Blues vibe gets even stronger, and Guy Gardner gets a deserved vacation (one that if future covers are any indication will not go well). Top-notch story and art, and quickly becoming one of my top 5 comics. CBG: 4/5.
FELL #6 --- I won't say anything that I haven't said before; this is just an excellent comic. Either you're buying this or you're not. I am, and glad for it.

Merry Christmas
I wish you the happiest and most joyful day of the year. Whoever happens upon this blog post, may you have a day full of joy, laughter, nostalgia, and a few new experiences mixed in.
But I don't just wish this for you. I wish it for those that you will affect with that joy. I know it's cliche to say, but the greatest joy comes from giving, even if it's not your own joy. We like to think about this time of year in terms of what we get, and the happy feelings we experience, but isn't it so much happier to pass that on to those around you?
After all, we can open gifts and forget about them the next day, but who could forget an act of unprompted self-sacrificial giving, especially on Christmas. That is a gift that never fades and will never give you the post holiday blues.
So enjoy that eggnog, eat too much food, live and laugh and love, but don't pass up the opportunity to do something truly good.

Computer/Multilevel Diver Specialty
Divers must plan their dives according to Recreational Dive Planner for their safety. However, as one dives deeper, they have a shorter amount of allowable bottom time. One way to extend your dives is to plan multiple depths. Ascending to a new depth essentially "credits" the diver with more allowable time. This process is made even easier with a dive computer. This scuba specialty helps the diver to master the use of dive computers and multilevel dive planning.
Deep Specialty
Some diving environments and sites require divers to go deeper than 60 feet and potentially approach the recreational diving depth limit of 130 feet. There are special considerations at these depths such as changes in light and colors, temperature, and buoyancy based on equipment response to pressure. Deep diving has additional safety concerns as well. This specialty helps the diver learn how to handle all these issues. Some dive operators require that divers have this specialty in order to participate in certain dives or for certain locations. Also, those who are interested in wreck diving will also benefit from this scuba specialty as most wreck lie in more than 60 feet of water.
Prerequisite: Must be at least an Advanced Open Water rated diver to complete
Digital Underwater Photography Specialty
Divers have the opportunity to see so many sights that some people can only dream about. Why not be able to capture these sights to share with others through photography? This extremely popular scuba specialty helps divers learn how to compose shots, properly operate a camera underwater, and effectively capture images in the underwater environment.
Dry Suit Specialty
Are you looking to extend your diving season and the range of potential diving conditions? Is that wet-suit of yours just not keeping you warm enough in those Midwest waters? Dry suits offer divers a way to answer these questions. These suits are versatile and sometimes a necessity depending on dive conditions. However, just like all specialized pieces of equipment, users need to be trained in their preparation, use, maintenance, and safety considerations. If you are thinking about going dry, this scuba specialty is a must!
Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty
Every diver wants to have more time enjoying the underwater environment. One major limiter to this how much nitrogen we can safely accumulate at depth. When we are first certified, we can only use normal air in our tanks, which is 79% nitrogen. We can extend our bottom time and shorten our surface intervals by diving on Enriched Air, or as it commonly referred, Nitrox. These gas mixtures have higher amounts of oxygen, which in turn have less nitrogen for us to accumulate during a dive. This specialty teaches divers to use these new mixtures as well as understand the new dive tables and the unique safety considerations of Nitrox. Divers cannot get Nitrox fills without this scuba specialty.
Full Face Mask Specialty
This is a relatively new scuba specialty in the PADI world. Full face masks have been a part of technical diving for some time, but their use is sometimes beneficial in the recreational dive world. Such benefits include protecting the whole face during ice diving or they may be more effective for divers with certain physical limitations. This is a specialized piece of equipment that requires special training in its operation and maintenance.
Night Specialty
Just as it does above water, the underwater world changes at night. Different creatures come out and the behavior of others change. A diver can dive the same location during the day and again that evening, and it can practically be like two different locations. Each new dive environment brings new wonders as well as new challenges and considerations. This scuba specialty teaches divers how to use dive lights and other procedures that allow for the safe enjoyment of this unique environment.
Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty
Buoyancy control is quite possibly the most important skill in scuba diving. Without it, we can use up too much air, potentially damage things like coral, decrease visibility by stirring up the bottom, and put ourselves at risk of injury due to uncontrolled ascent or decent. We all learned to start controlling our buoyancy in basic open water. This scuba specialty helps divers to move from proficiency to mastery. It also helps divers to consider concepts such as streamlining, weight distribution, and fine tuning one's buoyancy without use of the BC.
Search and Recovery Specialty
If one spends enough time around water, they will lose something in it. People can lose all sorts of things like anchors, motors, and cameras. Boats and ships can sink with precious cargo. Whether you are interested in finding lost personal items in a lake or sunken treasure in the Caribbean, you will need the skills of the Search and Recovery scuba specialty to effectively locate and safely bring the items back to the surface. These skills include various search patterns and the use of lift bags.
Prerequisite: Must be at least an Advanced Open Water rated diver to complete
Underwater Navigation Specialty
Just as good buoyancy is an important skill in diving, the ability to navigate is equally as important. We were introduced to navigation during basic open water, but this specialty takes the application of this skill further. Through the use of kick cycles and compass bearings, a diver can navigate in any environment: near infinite visibility, extremely low visibility, or low light/night. This scuba specialty is a must for those who want to dive more complicated environments (i.e. caves and wrecks) as well as those who may wish to become professional divers.
Wreck Specialty
An extremely popular diving specialty, wreck diving offers people the opportunity to combine an encounter with history and a challenging environment. Wrecks can be any man made object or vehicle that lies on the water's bottom. These can be small pleasure boats, to trucks, to airplanes, and all the way up to great ships of trade or war. Divers need to able to preserve the integrity of these wrecks as well as be aware of special safety concerns when diving on such a wreck. This scuba specialty covers these topics so that you and other divers can continue to safely enjoy such wonders.
Prerequisite: Must be at least an Advanced Open Water rated diver to complete.

Annabelle Hood reviews Caudalie Premier Cru: La Crème Riche
Every winter as I pinch my parched cheeks, I vow that this will be the year I find a more affordable replacement to Crème de la Mer… At a tenner a smear, I can't justify the expense. So when Caudalie announced new La Crème Riche was about to headline their scrumptious Premier Cru line, I was first in the queue to try it. First impressions? Full marks for the pot's decadent gold and brown packaging, which befits its hefty £93 price tag and looks sensational alongside the rest of the range, which I've coveted since it launched. I sweep a dollop of the thick unguent over my face. So far so good: The smell is subtle, in keeping with its plant-based ingredients and zero nasties like parabens, phtalates or mineral oils. For a few seconds, my complexion feels soft,...Read More

Meditations on Misogyny
I live in a place where there are too many of us. It's called the Silicon Valley. It has come to my attention that many of my colleagues act like adolescent boys, and that this behavior is endemic both in and outside of the corporate world. I regret this because it gives the rest of us a bad name. I am writing this to ask for your help in improving our lot. Hopefully, by working together we can impact the working environs we share with women in particular. I'm sure each one of us can do his own part starting first thing Monday morning.
In the past two years, the debate over women in tech and the "brogrammer culture" has exploded. It has been fueled by sexual harassment lawsuits against prominent Silicon Valley VCs, accusations of sexism at tech conferences. Recent data suggests that, despite the prevalence of coding programs aimed at girls and women, only 12.9% of Silicon Valley engineers are women. The number of women board members is equally low. More often than not, women find themselves as a distinct minority in start-up and established workplaces alike. Law suits, defamation and slander charges abound, making an already unreal place that much more surreal.
Having been in and out of the Valley for the last three years pitching my own work and that of others, I have seen the best and the worst of this place. On a good day, there are colorful, enriching conversations with brilliant scientists whose outlook is nothing less than visionary. I've met some of the very brightest and most interesting men and women right here. On a bad day, it feels like an endless reel of outtakes from Spike TV. Drunk programmers stumbling around the streets cat-calling women, men hooting and hollering from Ferraris and Lambos. It's a joke, really. For a man with any shred of integrity, it's ridiculous to watch masculinity reduced to "money and machine." I'm sure you agree that these exploits do not reflect the decency and honor to which most of us aspire.
I could continue to pretend to be blind to what goes on around me, but I won't.
What can I do, or rather, what can we do?
Bottom line: I will no longer ignore that, at one time or another, part of the workforce feels unsafe, uncomfortable or outright harassed while they are at work or out in the world. I will speak up and I am asking you to as well.
Let's first be clear about the world we men live in:
I don't have to fear sexual threats when I walk to my car in the garage. I don't clench my keys in my fingers when I am walking home after dark. I don't have riot-control grade mace in my briefcase. If a group of boisterous women are walking towards me on a busy night, I don't have to cross the street. I don't have to fend off unwanted attention when I wear my best suit. I don't have to worry about uncomfortably long stares at my legs during meetings, or ask a friend to watch my drink when I go to the bathroom. I can go and have a scotch at a bar and nary a person will bother me. We do live in a different world. Wake up, men: we do not have these concerns.
So what I have begun to do—what all of us need to begin doing—is questioning how we can make our streets, spaces and offices safer and more comfortable for women. More importantly, we can question how we actually allow the least civil amongst us to contribute to making those spaces poisonous and less safe for our colleagues. We should be the ones doing this because we are the ones who created the problem a long time ago. Enough is enough. Certainly women are complicit in many ways, most notably by buying into the stereotypes and clichés foisted on them by the media, and by giving men the explicitly wrong impression to get what they want—be it jobs, money or attention. There are women who buy into the system of sexism wholesale and use it to their benefit against men. But that's not the point, is it? Let's not pass the buck to women. Let's be men. Let's be responsible.
Generally speaking, there are a few questions we need to ask ourselves in our relationships with women. I challenge every man who reads this to ask himself:
- Am I forcing a woman to react to me when I address her?
- Do I feel women are obliged to respond to me the way I want them to respond to me?
- Am I creating a safe space for the women in my life to express themselves fully?
- Am I going along with my male colleagues when they harass or belittle women because I'm actually a chicken-shit?
In the bigger picture, I sometimes wonder if we think so little of ourselves that we're incapable of thinking a woman deserves respect as opposed to unwanted sexual advances. This is the question we must address:
Deep down, what do we really think women want in the workplace: attention or respect?
Make no mistake about this: when men harass, they undermine a very basic human right to autonomy that is fundamental in a free society. People, not just women, have a right to exist lawfully in public without fear of approbation or infringement at any time. Last time I checked, this is called liberty and we've fought more than a few wars to protect that unique right. Men can stand up and insist that other men treat women colleagues with respect. This doesn't mean we take away a woman's right to defend herself; it means having the sand to say something to other men when we witness it.
It means standing with women, not standing in for women. Let's get that straight right now.
The default mode in society is civility, not harassment, my friends. You might consider civility instead of chivalry and in place of chauvinism.
Next time your boss has a snide comment for the waitress, say something. He might just respect you for it—but don't expect it. Power does not like to be challenged.
When a colleague drops a backwards comment about a female executive as she walks by, ask him what he'd do if someone said that to his wife or daughter. You might surprise him.
If you think of yourself as more than a gorilla, you can stand up and be respectful. If you are such a man, then act like one. Speak up! Otherwise, we allow bad behavior to erode the environment to a point where the unacceptable is the norm. It's called a hostile environment for a reason, and many start-ups and established businesses alike are rapidly approaching that level of toxicity—especially here in the Valley. So put the game-boy down, tuck in your shirt, and wake up.
Let me preempt some of the opposition from some of you, my fellow men, because I can hear the claims of "man-bashing-men" already. No, I'm not gay. I wasn't raised in an isolated estrogen tank by lesbian candle makers in Oregon. I am the son of a Marine Corps officer and a ballet dancer who, for all of their glaring faults, taught me manners from Boston, Massachusetts. I was brought up rough and ready on three acres of forest, played school-boy hockey and worked in finance before taking up a career in corporate strategy. I also trained in close protection services and worked as a bodyguard for a brief spell. I am a guy's guy if ever there was one. No one who knows me would call me "liberal" or "feminist".
Contrary to the evolutionary theory of stupidity, we men are not "built" to be morons. We do not have an "idiot" setting that clicks on when a women walks in or out of the room. We can actually choose to behave appropriately around the other sex. The brute strength derived from testosterone that to some degree marks our gender doesn't imply a special set of rules. Gorillas are incredible creatures whose strength far outmatches our own, but they have not built a complex civilization. They have not created data science and artificial intelligence, now, have they? The lame appeal to "men as men" undermines our nature and reduces manhood to hormonal dominance. This is simply stupid. This is insulting to men. We insult ourselves by acting like baboons. At our most basic, we are good; at our best we can protect, love and serve society.
Men may give lip service to this and have the best intentions, and at the same time continue to contribute to an environment that makes women feel unsafe by simply ignoring that harassment is a regular facet of women's experience. To disregard that for the sake of instant gratification of a woman's attention seems, well…lame is the word that comes to mind. When men interact inappropriately with a woman and create an unsafe environment that causes women to question their place in it, we make the world unsafe for our wives, daughters, friends and colleagues. Think about it.
Commit to never lose sight of this and you will change your attitude today. If you are like me, and believe we can do something about sexual harassment, then please retweet this article with #realmenspeakup. Kudos gents, thank you for reading.
* It should be noted that, since the publication of this article last year, personal circumstances necessitate that I remove any mention of my affiliation with personally or otherwise parties to a law suit that in some way served as inspiration.

Essential Oils: A Guide to Peppermint
As essential oils become more popular in western culture, we are seeing more people become curious about the oil of peppermint. With its fresh and enticing smell as well as its several unique uses, this essential oil offers a plethora of health benefits that have been known for centuries.
The Origin of Peppermint
The peppermint plant was officially found across Europe in 1753, but ancient texts and historical findings report that the peppermint plant and its essential oils were used by several ancient cultures long before the plant was "officially" found. Regardless of peppermint's predated history, the plant has grown into one of the most popularly used herbs in the world.
Initially, the plant's 1753 discoverer Carolus Linnaeus, thought the peppermint plant to be a species of its own but over years of scientific discovery, peppermint has universally been decided to be a cross organic hybrid species of watermint and spearmint plants. How these two mint plants cross pollinated, we may never know but what we do know is that Mentha Piperita or Peppermint has spread beyond Europe to several of the world's most versatile areas.
Where is Peppermint Found?
While the peppermint plant may have been originally indigenous to Europe, it quickly spread to become a global plant, found in many of the earth's regions. In some areas the peppermint plant is considered invasive (locations like The North Eastern area of the United States or in countries like New Zealand) but in other areas like the Pacific Northwest, the growing of the peppermint plant is a big business.
Northwest America at one point was considered one of the world's foremost producers of peppermint crops and this is no surprise considering that this minty plant prefers to grow in wet, shaded areas near streams or running water, enabling it to quickly spread across several acres of land almost overnight. Although the plant produces no seeds, it can experience quick diversifying and growth through the dispersion of its rhizomes and stolons. Rhizomes are commonly considered rootstalks that grow beneath the topsoil surface of the earth, spreading and shooting upwards through the ground, creating a network of healthy and quick spreading plants, while stolons work similarly as a horizontal connection between each peppermint organism as it spreads across a landscape.
Producing Peppermint in Oregon and Eastern Washington
Peppermint is the 23rd most precious product produced in the state of Oregon and in the year 2010, the Oregon peppermint crops were estimated to be worth over 35 million dollars. Just above the Oregon crops is the area of Eastern Washington, commonly known as the world's most famous region for peppermint growth and small family run peppermint farms. It is these farmers who take it upon themselves to grow this precious plant in an effort to keep up with the supply and demand for peppermint oil.
To showcase the popularity and demand for peppermint oil, it is important to understand that one pound of this incredible oil can add that special minty flavor to several products, including roughly 1,500 toothpaste tubes and over 40,000 sticks of peppermint flavored gum. Alone, one barrel of this precious peppermint oil has an estimated value of $10,000 or more, making peppermint a hot commodity in today's modern world.
Peppermint in the Home and Garden
In the modern world of today, peppermint growth has been brought into the home and garden as well as the farm. The peppermint plant's aroma is distasteful to household pests and garden bugs, making it an excellent natural remedy to remove plant eating insects from a garden or from inside a home. Because of this, at-home herb growers began bringing these plants to the interior of homes, setting them on front porches and placing them in vegetable gardens. However, as these at-home herb growers began to explore the growing of this plant, it was discovered that housing peppermint plants in a pot would restrict the rapid spreading of this plant whilst still yielding a considerable amount of leaves to produce the coveted peppermint oil and peppermint plant benefits. Best placed in a partly shaded area with a good amount of water, these plants grow strong and healthy, supplying an array of flowers and leaves to be used in essential oils.
How is Peppermint Oil Made
Most essential oils found today have been extracted from their plant of origin by a distillation or extraction process. Peppermint oil is removed from the plant's leaves through the process of steam distillation that begins on the famous Washington and Oregon Farms.
On these farms, the beginning stage of peppermint oil creation begins on the field. It is here that the plants are cut down and left to dry in the sun for roughly 48 hours. This time frame allows for the dehydration of the plants from any excess water, resulting in pure peppermint oil during the distilling process. Once the plants have sat for 48 hours, they are then gathered up and placed into a steam still that commonly resides directly on the farmland. Farmers will hook up large bins filled with peppermint plants and apply the steam distilling process. The stream will run through the plants and cause the oil to be collected into a still with several condensers. These condensers separate the steam from the oil and dispense the essential peppermint oil into conventional 50 gallon drums. From the field and the 50 gallon drums, most Washington farmers then send their oil to labs where research is conducted to verify the quality, purity and potency of the freshly extracted peppermint oil.
It is in the lab that all essential oils are checked for adulterations. Adulteration is when an essential oil product is "watered down" with other oils in an attempt dilute it and extend cost. The practice of adulteration is unfortunate and results in diluted products that lack the necessary purity to provide the numerous health benefits that essential peppermint and other essential oils provide.
After a lab has certified the quality and purity of an essential oil, it is then moved to distributors like the team here at Bulk Apothecary. We then sell these high quality oils to our customers who reap the benefits of essential oils that have been known for centuries.
The World's Oldest Medicine
While peppermint oil is often used in gum or toothpaste, it is also known to be one of the oldest medicines, dating its medicinal properties back tens of thousands of years. As was mentioned above, peppermint was officially "found" by a European in 1753 but in fact, history reports that the production and use of essential oils dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries when an Andalusia pharmacist by the name of Ibn al-Baitar began using essential oils for their medicinal properties. However, other evidence suggests that peppermint oil was used before Ibn al-Baitar by the ancient Egyptians. Egyptian tombs, dated around the time of 1000 B.C. have been discovered harboring essential peppermint oil and it is believed the Egyptians used the oil for its heavenly, fresh aroma and medical purposes. Even Grecian/Roman mythology has a part in peppermint oil's history with a tale that suggests how the peppermint plant was born. It was believed that the god Pluto transformed a wood nymph named Mentha into a peppermint plant in hopes that she would spread throughout the world and be appreciated by humans for years to come. It is from this story that the scientific name for the peppermint plant, Mentha Piperita, was created. Even ancient Japanese and Chinese cultures have been recorded as harvesters of peppermint plants for its healing and medicinal assets.
Peppermint Oil: The Medical Benefits
Whether the peppermint plant was found in Europe in the year 1753 or by ancient Mediterranean cultures, one fact has remained true about the peppermint plant. Its rich harvested oil can offer several medical benefits and is coveted across the globe. Several modern day studies have been conducted to discover if peppermint oil is really as beneficial as our ancient forefathers thought and the results have been staggeringly positive.
One study conducted at the University of Cincinnati by Dr. William N. Dember found conclusive results stating that the ancient cultures were correct in thinking that the aroma and ingestion of peppermint oil does in fact improve mental concentration, agility and sharpness. As a result of this study, many schools suggest that students chew peppermint flavored gum during an exam to help improve test taking and memory recall.
Other scientists and doctors including Jean Valnet MD and Alan Hirsch MD have found conclusive evidence that peppermint oil can help improve liver, digestive and respiratory systems as well as trigger the sensation of fullness following a small meal, therefore helping in weight management.
Many ancient cultures used peppermint as a remedy for headaches or digestive problems and today's modern studies have found those remedies and peppermint oil theories to be true. Other studies have found that peppermint oil can assist and heal in several other health categories including dental health, relaxation and skin care.
Medicinal Properties of Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil has been proven to help in several health related areas. We have listed a quick overview of each area for your convenience.
Thanks the Peppermint oils' fresh and clean smell, it works as a relaxation stimulator and helps with stress relief as well as prevents depression, headaches and anxiety.
Peppermint oil and plants are comprised primarily of menthol which is commonly used to clear airways and decrease respiratory problems. We often find peppermint oil used in cold and congestion medicines, specifically chest rubs to clear nasal and airway passages.
As studies and our ancient ancestors found, peppermint oil is an excellent natural tool to help with digestion related issues. It can help calm an upset stomach, reduce gas and aid in relieving heartburn or irritable bowel syndrome.
Peppermint oil is commonly found in toothpaste because it can help reduce bad breath and kills harmful germs.
Similar to how peppermint oil wards of insects and pests in a garden or home, the same is true for the insect of lice. Using this oil on the head not only deters lice but also removes dandruff in a natural and safe way. Peppermint oil can also brighten and neutralize oily skin, making it a valuable asset to any morning or nighttime skin routine.
Where is Peppermint Essential Oil Used?
Peppermint oil serves a purpose across a multitude of industries, household products and at-home remedies. It is commonly distributed in popular brands of chewing gum and several peppermint flavored tooth pastes but also can be found in cleaning solutions and medical over the counter drugs. Naturally-minded adults will use peppermint as a food flavoring agent or to treat aliments such as headaches and respiratory problems while it can also be used in home-made soaps, lotions and body scrubs. The possibilities for the uses of peppermint oil are ever expanding as scientific research continues to link the several benefits of this essential oil to everyday uses.
Use with Caution
Similar to all essential oils, high concentrations of ingested peppermint oil can result in toxic complications. Every essential oil is suggested to be diluted while being used and we suggest that those using essential oils never use the oils in excessive amounts. Recipes call for a specific amount of oil to be used and going over that amount can result in heart burn, dizziness and slowed heart rate. Remember to use all essential oils with caution and to follow exact instructions to be able to take advantage of all the benefits this oil and others can provide.
Peppermint Today
The use of essential oils was very popular among our ancient cultures and now we are once again seeing a movement that embraces the natural properties of organic, essential oil healing. Peppermint oil with its minty fresh enticing smell and its plethora of health benefits is once again rising in popularity as one of the best and most versatile essential oils. Not only does this incredible oil assist in daily living and healing, it also stimulates the American economy and helps Northwest farmers.
Whether it is used in soap making, as an ingredient in a vapor cold and flu rub or as a household insect repellent, peppermint oil is predominately one of the most beneficial essential oils available in today's modern world.

Missouri's Jontay Porter to return for sophomore season
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Missouri forward Jontay Porter has withdrawn his name from NBA draft and will return for his sophomore season.
The school announced Porter's decision on Wednesday, the final day the 6-foot-11 forward could remove his name from the draft and return to the Tigers for next season. Porter followed the lead of his brother, Michael Porter Jr., in declaring for the draft last month, but he didn't hire an agent.
Jontay Porter averaged 9.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game as a freshman for Missouri, doing so after reclassifying his prep eligibility and skipping his senior year of high school so he could join his brother with the Tigers. He earned Southeastern Conference Co-Sixth Man of the Year honors and was named to the league's All-Freshman team.
The 18-year-old took part in the NBA's draft combine two weeks ago and was projected to be taken late in the first round or early in the second.
Michael Porter Jr., a 6-foot-10 forward, hired an agent and will not return to school. He missed nearly the entire season with a back injury and returned for the SEC Tournament. He had 16 points in 28 minutes in a first-round loss to Florida State in the NCAA Tournament.

ots Ad hoc-Service: Kontron embedded computer
Kontron increases turnover and output
The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this announcement. -----------------------------------------------------
München (ots Ad hoc-Service) - Record figures in the first quarter / turnover increases to 20.2 m. Euro / 2.25 m. Euro increase / order position much better than expected / expected turnover for yr 2000 increases to 92 m. Euro
Kontron Embedded Computers AG, listed on the new Frankfurt stock exchange since 6th April this year, has achieved a record turnover of 20.2 m. Euro in the first quarter of 2000. In comparison with the same period of last year (6.3 m. Euro), the company has more than tripled its revenue. At 21.7 m. Euro, new orders were 8 percent above the quarterly turnover. The earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to 2.64 m. Euro and has quadrupled in comparison to the same quarter last year (0.63 m. Euro). At 2.25 m. Euro, the surplus for this quarter represents 11 percent of the turnover. The profit for each share in the first quarter is 0.19 Euro.
The main reason for this large increase is the boom in telecommunications, data communications and the internet. In the meantime, this sector represents 43 percent of the whole embedded computer market. In 1999, the Kontron Group devoted more than 70 percent of its development investment in this sector alone and, according to its own information, has achieved a technological advantage against the competition today of approximately six months, through its collaboration with Intel in particular.
In order to meet the rapidly growing volume of orders, Kontron Group also planned an extensive increase during the first quarter of 2000. New pick-and-place production lines have been installed at the Montreal and Munich sites with a total capacity to produce 200,000 embedded computers. Due to the healthy first quarter and the growth in turnover in the telecom/datacom sector, the Kontron Group board has increased the turnover prognosis for 2000 from 82.3 m. Euro to 92 m. Euro. This corresponds to an increase in turnover of 77 percent in comparison to the 50 m. Euro during the financial year 1999.
The stock exchange quotation brought another 107 m. Euro to the company which increased the capital ratio to more than 60 percent. "These resources are now fully available for the acquisition of competitors or technology start-ups" explained Niederhauser.
The market for embedded computers - 'invisible, computer-based brains' with integrated software for equipping instruments and plants with artificial intelligence - continues to be characterised all over the world by enormous growth rates. During 1999, the Kontron Group was able to establish itself successfully in this market as one of the top five suppliers of this product.

This weekend G-Man and I headed off to the big smoke and to Regent Street for the second annual NFL street party. I don't have any interest in American football at all, but Gary does so off we went in search of cheerleaders and hot dogs. We found neither, and ended up going shopping else where!
There was a lot of buzz and little inflatable activities to do but nothing really amazing, so we went off to get some lunch. Firstly we headed off to Stax off Carnaby Street where we'd eaten before. We were seated but told no burgers were on the menu for another 40 minutes which was a shame since that was what I'd really fancied. Twenty minutes later we still hadn't been given any water, no one had taken our order and none of the wait staff were exhibiting any sense of urgency so we got up and left. I doubt the waitress even realised we'd gone and wondered why she'd left two menus at the window bar. Stax, we gave you a chance and you let us down.
We then headed to The Diner on Carnaby Street where we had an amazing meal and the staff were brill. I had a Hawaiian burger with wet fries. The Diner gravy is amazing guys, you've got to try it.
Then we headed off for another wander into a few shops and around the area taking in the gorgeous warm autumnal weather.
We stumbled across a gelato shop in Covent Garden called Gelatorino. This shop's only other store location is in Monte-Carlo so we guessed it would be the proper stuff. So many places serve what they call gelato but it's just ice cream. Real gelato has the most amazing smooth mouthfeel which is down to the lack of ice crystals in the mix. I chose a small tub with two flavours – green apple and salted caramel. Together they tasted like toffee apple! Both flavours had such amazing strength and body and were just wonderful.
Unfortunately Gary took a turn for the worse and started to feel a migraine coming on soon after this so we headed on home and had a relaxing low-key evening.
Sunday was chores and lazy lie ins – that's what Sundays are for, right? I managed to get some food prep done for the week ahead before we headed out and over to my Mum and Dad's. It's my Dad's birthday on Tuesday and we all got together, along with my sister and her family, to celebrate the big day! There was lot's of catching up, chats, singing and dancing as well as party food – including yummy banoffee cake!
Gary took some photos of our ugly mugs too!
It was a good weekend. Busy enough since I'm still not feeling right after this sinus thing and hay fever is still kicking my butt. Next weekend is über exciting, but you'll have to wait until then to read all about it 🙂

In 1969 there was a Minnesota court case involving a man named Jerome Daily. He challenged the foreclosure of his home by the bank which provided the loan.

Listen just get me some greenbacks from Abraham Lincon and everything is gonna be alright. Welcome slaves to the modern day of slavery where imaginary money creates labor to repay your imaginary debt and unlike the old days of slavery you feed and clothe yourself.
Goverment makes bonds the fed bank gives money for it and the banks want intrest without debt there would be no money.
Also let me add that technology solves problems not politicians, religion and you can't eat money.

I know these past few weeks I have only showed off finishes, but most of the stuff I am making needs to be a semi-secret thing since the recipients might be reading;)
But anyway I have two finishes! I made two sitting pads for some cousins for Christmas, they have a dog so I hope they take a lot of walks;)
But in either case they could be used when waiting for the bus in the cold and take very little space so can be taken everywhere.
I used mostly leftover yarn about four balls each.
And I have started making some ornaments, but you will see that on Wednesday as that is the ornament day;) Hopefully I will have made a few more and perhaps other shapes too? These are sort of like stocking fillers for sudden presents or for people I don't have time to make a big thing for.
I have also started another hat, yes, I am knitting, and yes, it is still Tristan for garnstudio:p
I might branch out later into other hat patterns.
And yes, it might not be for Christmas, since it barely fits me, but I will make M model and see, if it fits him I can give it away to some male relative for Christmas. I know I make lots of presents, this year I counted 25, but this Christmas we will be celebrating with a lot of extended family, so I am looking forward to that.
It started to become more winter and less autumn these days and these guys are telling me it is a bit chilly;) Inside is a cosy 19 degrees but these buys are spoiled, I prefer a toasty 20-21:P 22 is too hot and I do wear wool inside as well.
M and I are having a pizza today, looking forward to it, but I need to get started before it is too late, and hopefully we will watch Walking Dead.

text: I have started writing a story. I will call it a story cause I have no clue how long it will be when it is finished. I have never taken a writing class or had any schooling in this at all. I have a very active imagination, so this helps me out I think. Some of the basic questions I have are, 1. How long should a chapter be? Is there any guide lines a person should follow on this. 2. I was told I am a story teller, not a writer. Is there a difference in the two? 3. I do not use long words or try to sound like something I'm not when I write. I'm just a small town girl from Oklahoma. I write like I talk. Is that a bad thing? 4. I also have songs and poems I have wrote. One of the most common rules I follow when do that is <K.I.S.S.> Keep It Simple Stupid. Is it best to follow that when writing a story rather it be a short story or a novel? I have always loved to read, and like most, I have my favorite Authors and books that I have read many times. What I am writing I have had in my head for many years and decided it was time to put it to paper. Thank you all for any help you can give me on this matter. Thanks Moe

After completing the Abdominal BachelorClass, you will be able to perform a standard exam, know the limitations of this technique and be able to identify the most common pathologies of all major abdominal and pelvic organ systems.
The Abdominal BachelorClass is designed to introduce you to the technology of Ultrasound. Starting with a broad explanation of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, you will receive an overview of all abdominal organ systems and learn to identify anatomic structures using the standard views of ultrasound.
With easy to follow, step-by-step instructions of the very basic and the most common pathologies, you will learn how to detect diseases of the liver, gallbladder, kidney, adrenal glands, pancreas and bladder using ultrasound. You will learn about the relevance of the individual pathologies, the role of other imaging modalities and be provided with guidance as to the management of patients based on ultrasound findings. Special focus is placed on the diagnosis of pathologies that you will encounter in acute clinical situations.

By Kelly Wallace, CNN
This is an update to a story first published in May 2015.
(CNN)My kids are in elementary school, a little young for the "weed talk," but I wonder whether the fact that recreational pot use is now legal in a number of states will complicate things once we start having those conversations.
Sue Scheff, a parent advocate who works with children in at-risk communities, says she's heard from plenty of kids who say, "Well, it's legal, so it must be OK."
"We already have the messaging problem," said Scheff, author of "Wit's End: Advice and Resources for Saving Your Out-of-Control Teen."

I agree with sunny and that's what I ask the seller to do all the time. With UPS I still get hit with around 25% customs duty, taxes plus the UPS Admin fee but that 25% is a lot less on a cue valued at say 75GBP or similar.
I think it's a bit naive to expect a cue seller to make his buyers aware of import charges on a cue he sells as he would have to research every country in the world so he could inform his customers and I doubt any one of them is up to doing that.

Ryan HooverPro@rrhoover · Founder, Product Hunt
I never unfollow people if they're following me. But if they're not following me, I don't mind as they're unlikely to notice. Has anyone created a web version of this? I don't have an Android phone.
Rishabh DugarMaker@rishabh_dugar
@rrhoover Cheers, we have a solution , iOS version of this app is cooking :)
Murukesh Sadasivan@murukeshs · Creator Codeflow
@rrhoover There are few like https://iunfollow.com/ and http://who.unfollowed.me/ (Google twitter unfollow). Apparently many social media platforms also supports this, though it's not mentioned directly in their marketing pages.. (https://www.crowdfireapp.com/, https://statusbrew.com/ etc)..
Idea came from my own need. Let's admit - Twitter newsfeed becomes crowded when you are following too many users and it might be a good idea to unfollow those who do not follow you. At Twitter, users follow you and then unfollow you when you follow back. I thought it could be very useful for businesses so told my geek brother to build a tool and launch on Play Store. Tell us what you think about this. he is also planning to build an iOS app for this.
Whilst useful, be careful using tools like this on a regular basis and in large numbers, as it can lead to a suspension of your account.
@theashtube Very useful tip. Thanks :) Keeping this thing in mind, the app sets a limit on the number of users you can unfollow/follow in an hour. So, no policy violations :)
@jitesh_dugar Awesome, remember that these limits change quite regularly, so keep an eye on them so you don't get caught out. :)
@theashtube Absolutely. Already working on few more features, I hope the users like it :)
Csaba Kissi@csaba_kissi · Serial maker
Waiting for iOS version. Unfortunately no Android here.
@csaba_kissi Will be added soon :)
I have mixed opinions. This is right at the edge of what I would consider morally appropriate. In my 5+ years of Twitter usage, I've never had more than ~275 followers. Yet I follow people every week, make conversation, and of course, rant. People follow me every week. Yet I'm still around the same amount of followers. I'm pretty sure plenty of those people are using tools like this. Automation is partly why we can't have real conversations anymore. We're all talking to bots!
That being said, I will probably use it anyway. Cheers!
Priya Ranjan Dubey@techiepriyarnjn · #ToddlerProgrammer #Designer #Developer
@jeffrey_wyman "We're all talking to bots! " I really appreciate this line 😎. Recently when I read about Twitter Bot, I get stunned back, previously I used to think how can he/her can reply so fast or follow, re-tweet,reply but when I read about bots and how these bots are vibrant in Twitter; for a moment, I see every individual first one as a bot!😬😬😬

REVEALED: Development would double size of village
THE suburban Rileys Hill village area, near Broadwater, could potentially double in size with a potential further 70 lots added to its existing 70 residential lots.
The matter is set to be discussed at tonight's Richmond Valley Council meeting.
The council received a planning proposal to rezone a parcel of land on Hills Rd, Rileys Hill in early June this year.
Ardill Payne and Associates prepared and submitted the proposal to rezone the land on behalf of the owner Monal Pty Ltd.
The land is immediately adjacent to existing village-zoned land at Rileys Hill and is identified in the North Coast Regional Plan as potential urban growth area.
The proposed rezoning area covers a 8.268 hectare area.
The lower portion of the property is identified as marginally flood prone (as affected by a one-in-one-hundred year average return interval flood event), but is categorised as a rare low hazard.
Stormwater collection and treatment will be required onsite prior to discharge under the adjoining council road reserve through a possibly upgraded culvert.
The natural drainage route will continue offsite toward the adjoining National Park opposite the site.
All adjoining property owners will be notified for consultation purposes following a Gateway Determination and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be given an opportunity to provide comment.
