Variation of geochemical environments associated with whale-fall biomass mineralization processes in the sediment during the mobile scavenger, enrichment opportunist, and sulfophilic stages
The succession of faunal composition of a whale-fall community is believed to depend on the progress of decomposition of the whale carcass, which itself is dependent on microbial activity in the sediment around the carcass. This means that the faunal succession could be reflected in the variation of the geochemical environment. In this study, we examined sperm whale carcasses placed in two areas of Japanese waters. In Sagami Bay at a depth of ca. 500 m, dive surveys were performed 2 weeks, 2 months, and 9 months after implantation, when mobile scavengers and Osedax worms were observed. Off Cape Nomamisaki, 12 carcasses were implanted at a depth of 200–300 m, and dive surveys were performed there 17, 29, and 41 months after implantation, and abundant chemosynthesis-based mussels were observed at these times. The recovered sediment cores from beneath and around the carcasses in Sagami Bay showed increases in 15N-enriched ammonium and 34S-depleted sulfide and decreases in 34S-enriched sulfate during the 9 months following implantation, and their stoichiometric relationship suggested that proteinaceous matter from the carcass was decomposed preferentially followed by active bacterial sulfate reduction. In comparison, relatively low ammonium but high sulfide concentrations after 41 months off Cape Nomamisaki suggest that primarily lipids from the almost skeletonized carcasses were decomposed in the sediment during bacterial sulfate reduction. Such variation of decomposed organic substrates and geochemical environments result from interaction with the animals inhabiting in and on the sediments adjacent the whale carcasses. It is possible that evolution of the geochemical environment plays an important role in faunal succession, from the enrichment opportunist to sulfophilic stages.
We are grateful to H. Iwasaki and Y. Yuki of NHK who promoted this project. We are grateful to Professor H. Chiba and Dr. C. Mizota who provided very useful comments on an early version of the manuscript. We appreciate to Dr. A. Cronin who provided very useful comments and checked English of this manuscript. We are also grateful to Professor H. Tsutsumi, Kumamoto Prefectural University, for providing facilities for TOC, TN, and CN isotope measurement. Dr. T. Yamamoto and Mr. M. Kawato helped us during the cruises. All of the sediment, bottom, and pore water samples and whale soft tissues were obtained through the cooperative efforts of the team that operated the remotely operated vehicle HyperDolphin and the captain and crew of the support ship R/V Natsushima, to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks. We appreciate the valuable comments given by two anonymous reviewers and editorial handling by Dr. U. Sommer, Academic Editor of this journal. This research was partially supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan through the Special Coordination Fund 'TAIGA' project (20109005; T. Y.).

Selected Opinions about the Bhavan's Activities
"My warm congratulations to the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan on their achievement."
- Shri C. Rajagopalachari
, First Indian Governor General of India and Bhavan's Founder Member
"The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has been doing excellent work all these years in getting our generation back to its roots. In the noise and intensity of modern life the youth are wandering bewildered. It is essential for them to get back to the roots and that is why I appreciate very much the work which the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is doing."
- Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
, Former President of India and Bhavan's Founder Member
"The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is a composite institution spreading out into diverse fields of Indian cultural life. The Bhavan is not an institution but a movement seeking to reintegrate Indian Culture, by the application of the modern critical apparatus to its ancient heritage combining the anxiety to preserve the heritage that is useful with the courage to replace it with more effective expressions of the Indian spirit in consonance with its present circumstance."
- Dr. Zakir Hussain
, Former President of India and Bhavan's Hon. Member
"Generations to come will be grateful to the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan for the yeoman services it has rendered forthe preservation and propagation of Indian Culture during the last 30 years. Its contribution is fostering ethical and spiritual values as the basis of national integration is indeed magnificent. It is a great and unique All-India institution laying great emphasis on the unity of the country. Every patriotic Indian should encourage and support it."
- Dr. V.V. Giri
, Former President of India and Bhavan's Hon. Member
"Ever since its inception, nearly forty years ago, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has been rendering excellent service for the propagation and enrichment of our cultural heritage. The Bhavan stands for synthesis of science and spirituality and is propagating the true ideals of material and spiritual progress. I wish the Bhavan all success and congratulate all those associated with it for carrying on this noble work with zeal and dedication."
- Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed
, Former President of India and Bhavan's Hon. Member
"Munshiji had conceived this institution for enabling us to recapture and foster our fundamental values reintegrating them with new elements suited to modern conditions. The record of Bhavan's achievement spreading over the last 42 years speaks volumes about fulfilment of this objective. It has grown into a movement with diverse activities and its roots have struck deep into the soil, like a banyan tree, spreading its influence ever wider and wider ......
The Bhavan's main objective of cultural reintegration of the Indian people in perfect synchronization with the continuously evolving patterns of knowledge and understanding should not only be preserved but also propagated throughout the world."
- Dr. Neelam Sanjiva Reddy
, Former President of India and Bhavan's Hon. Member
"I am very happy indeed that the Bhavan has not been nourished on the milk of some strange breed of cow, she-buffalo, goat or foreign mother. The Bhavan has been nourished on the milk of Mother India ................
I have very high hopes of this Institution as an instrument for the spread of the message of India Culture. My good wishes."
- Giani Zail Singh

Chicken Breasts in a Sour Cream and Wine Sauce
Ingredients1 h 45 m servings 803
- Adjust
- Metric
Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble when cool; set bacon aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken breast halves until brown on both sides, about 6 minutes per side (meat will still be pink inside). Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish, and scatter the mushrooms over the chicken. Cook the green onions in the hot skillet over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes; stir in paprika and flour. Fry the flour mixture for about 1 minute. Mash the bouillon cube in 1/4 cup of hot water in a small bowl, and whisk the bouillon into the flour mixture. Bring to a boil (sauce will be thick). Gradually whisk white wine into the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Stir the sour cream into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- About half an hour before chicken is done, bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rice stand covered for about 10 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the cooked rice onto a serving platter, and top with the chicken breasts. Stir remaining sauce in the dish, and spoon over the chicken; garnish with crumbled bacon and slivered almonds.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

I used more Paprika in this and added a touch of Garlic, and then served it over noodles. I was right-it is just like my Aunt Maria's "Paprika Chicken"
The family gave it a 6 out of 10 stars. I didn't change anything. I will, on the other hand, change a few things next time. I will make it again!!

The French start-up has decided to be associated with the pharmaceutical sector's leader to expand its distribution in the market.
This group is made of more than 3 500 pharmacists and 6 000 associates (pharmacy dispensers, nutritionists…) and operates in approximately 800 pharmacies all over France.
Another reason of interest of this partnership for Bluetens is to be able to rely on the expertise of these health professionals as well as on their expertise in consulting and supporting 300,000 customers visiting their pharmacies every day.

Bluetens introduces its device and App to the famous Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (United States). This public fair, considered the most important high-tech event in the world, commonly serves as a launch pad for products that are presented in exclusive preview. Major international groups' innovations appear alongside those of young talents and attract more than 150,000 participants in three days, not to mention the many media representatives covering the event.
Released one year before making it to Arizona, Bluetens still makes an impression on the spot and allows its team to collect numerous contacts. This B2B (Business-to-Business) event opens even more the world-wide doors of connected objects to Bluetens.
This major event gathered more than 3,500 exhibitors, from January 6th to 9th, among those there were nearly 200 French Tech start-ups (part of the French Tech label, including Bluetens), accompanied on-site by Emmanuel Macron, the Minister of Economics.
Leveraging on its leading position in the consumer market, Bluetens broadens its range of products for the use and protection of its device's material.
Starting from November '15, there are several new accessories available for sale: a satchel designed to accommodate the electrostimulator and its accessories (electrodes, USB cable for charging, cable snap… ) is available in stores, a pack of 8 M electrodes larger than the S size electrodes, intended to target two body parts at the same time; and a very practical belt clip to free the users' hands during sessions.
After months of successful tests, the first Bluetens are launched on the commercial market. They are first commercialised by the Go Sport group before appearing on the shelves of specialized department stores such as Darty, Fnac or Boulanger.
At the same time , the brand approached high level athletes and constituted its team of ambassadors. The first two athletes seduced by Bluetens innovation are the french sprinter Véronique Mang (relay bronze medal 4 × 100m of the Athens Olympic Games in 2004) and the tricolor handball player William Accambray (winner of the London Olympic tournament 2012 and double world champion of the specialty in 2011 and 2015).

Shamitabh Review
Director R.Balki hit the jackpot straight with his first film, 'Cheeni Kum' follwed by 'Paa' which won him both critical acclaim as well as box office success. Now in his latest offering Shamitabh, he has come up with a funny yet clever story that has enough novel ideas which makes the film feel special and something that truly stands out from the crowd. Dhanush who after conquering the bollywood audience with his impeccable performance in his debut film Raanjhanaa made everyone waiting for his next outing in Hindi and afresh Dhanush gets a meaty role that has enough scope to perform. Remember, he had rejected 33 films after Raanjhanaa before signing this film and it is quite evident when you seeShamitabh for its indulgent storytelling and inventive concept. As usual, R.Balki's favourite music director Ilaiyaraaja composes music and this film is bankrolled by a host of industry heavyweights.
Shamitabh actually revolves around three individuals – Dhanush and Amitabh Bachchan who come together with the help of an assistant director – Akshara Haasan for a purpose, but the two drift apart due to their ego. What happens next forms the crux of the story. Two individuals that possess different talents. The one with one does not have the other of the other. And the other of the other does not have the one of the one. Dumb boy Dhanish – a movie buff and village conductor (Dhanush) comes to Mumbai to become an actor. He might not have the looks to be tagged a star but he has a talent for intensity who aspires to make it big. All he lacks is a bridge of communication, that is, he can't speak. On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan is a failed actor who never even got a chance. He's a drunken sod who has that magical voice. With the help of Akahara Haasan and a technology, the marriage of Dhanush and Amitabh's talents creates a magic called "Shamitabh", the new hero in town. What works very well is the flow of offbeat story that does not deviate from the main storyline even a bit.
Balki happens to go with an unconventional plot development to let Dhanush have Amitabh's voice. Doctors in Finland discover a way of projecting another person's voice through a dumb person's throat using a microchip. If you don't dig in too much science of this idea, it seems engaging enough albeit it sounds a bit odd. But its also the most novel part of the film. This enables infinite possibilities for a filmmaker to explore new ideas and that's exactly what Balki capitalises on. Shamitabh has an excellent take on how ego clashes between two people can lead to bitter consequences in our lives. Balki keeps you entertained throughout the two hours and twenty minute runtime except a few uninteresting scenes here and there with the tiring first half which drags and then an overdone climax. Otherwise he made it enjoyable with quirky dialogues with many references to recollect, smart characterizations along with the mix of good humour and drama.
The one area where Shamitabh doesn't falter at all is its top notch performances. This film displays Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush's talent to its peak, for fans of both these actors it's quite a treat. Dhanush, Amitabh and Akshara Haasan are the three main leads who compete with each other. The characters are flawlessly etched out to portray on screen. Also the casting is spot on with few cameos who make a mark. The idea of Dhanush having Amitabh Bachchan's baritone is executed with precise sound effects. But the reason you believe that's Shamitabh talking is thanks to Dhanush's splendid performance right from the first frame till the end. His talent and on-screen charisma are brilliant. Amitabh Bachchan needs no introduction, he gets the whole film, almost every scene to showcase all that has gone in making him a legend, proves us that he is the superstar of Bollywood. Akshara Haasan makes a sparkling dream debut. Its unusual but very appropriate. She impresses with her body language and minute expressions. The way she managed to enact some of the tough scenes are clap-worthy and a great launch pad one could say. The supporting cast were adequate and gave their best.
Ilaiyaraaja's music has blended well with the captivating visuals captured by cinematographer PC Sreeram. Ilaiyaraaja's trendy songs like Sha Sha Mi Mi and Sannata does not ruin the flow of the story and he makes his presence felt with the stylized background score. PC Sreeram does an extraordinary work behind the lens by capturing the Mumbai locations to the best. Coming to the conclusion, Shamitabh is a film unlike any other. Its themes are dark and deep but observations are candid and funny. And then there are some thought provoking reflections on the movie industry world. The film possess a wonderful idea, very original and straight from the heart, just that it could have been almost flawless if not for some unjustifiable slips in between.
Shamitabh is not an ordinary picture, its the phenomenal performances aided with fresh entertainment which makes it a perfect new mixture.

About Us
Who are we? First and foremost, we are artists. Awakenings has been riding the crest of a trend in recent years. The collecting of fine art created by persons living with mental illnesses has become fairly widespread, with several associations curating and showing pieces at national venues. Other literary magazines devoted to people with mental illnesses have appeared on the landscape.
Some researchers conclude that among scores of celebrated artists, writers and musicians there exists some positive relationship between affective disorders and being endowed with creative genius. Though the Awakenings Project does not purport to be a breeding ground for artistic geniuses, there does appear to be important and widespread interest in artistic endeavors among people with psychiatric disorders.
Epidemiological research suggests that as much as 10% of the population of the United States may experience a major mental illness in their lifetimes. As many as 25% of women and 12% of men experience an episode of major depression sometime during their lives .Fully 1% of the population meets the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia, while another 1 to 2% fit into the bipolar (manic-depression) category. There have been significant advancements in the treatment of severe and persistent mental illnesses through medicine and psychotherapy, helping people to overcome disabilities related to these illnesses and to recover. Recovery and empowerment can be advanced even further by participation in self-help efforts such as The Awakenings Project.
The Healing Power of Creativity
People familiar with psychiatric illnesses understand the painful loss of purpose and self-esteem which often accompany these disorders. The arts can heal some of these wounds, providing individuals who struggle with these disabling illnesses hope, purpose, and a sense of identity. Self-expression through art—whether it be in the form of painting, writing poetry or short stories, playing a musical instrument or composing a piece of music, or writing, producing, or playing a role in a dramatic production—is a purposeful and optimistic activity.
Art, whether it be fine art or art therapy, heals some of the personal wounds brought about by mental ill health. It is a purposeful and optimistic activity. The artists plan exhibits, look forward to upcoming shows, grow and develop their artistic talents. The artists receive positive feedback, field questions about their art, and also make sales or win commissions. Writers, on the other hand, find vindication in seeing their work published in an attractive and reputable journal.
(click heading to read more)
The Support of Community
Joining together with fellow artists, writers, musicians, and thespians in a focus on creative activity has healing power, too, and helps individuals struggling with mental illness overcome the social isolation that their illness often imparts. The community and network of support reaches far beyond the walls of the studio, resulting in long-lasting friendships and collaborative relationships. We have received much positive feedback from parents, siblings, spouses, friends, and the artists themselves about how important Awakenings has been in participants' lives.
Long before our association with the Theater for Mental Health (TMH),in 2003 Awakenings attended a workshop with The Second City in Chicago. Second City's Community Outreach director, Dionna Griffin, led us through exercises called "Zip, Zap, Zop," "The Hitchhiker," mirroring, and a series of scenes called "Wheres." The event promoted team building and a great time was had by all.
The Development of Competence
Participants in The Awakenings Project plan exhibits or performances, prepare for upcoming events, and grow and develop their artistic talents. The artists receive positive feedback, field questions about their art, and also make sales or win commissions. Writers find satisfaction in seeing their work published in Awakenings' attractive and reputable journal, The Awakenings Review.
A core group of volunteers puts in many hours and much effort to make each exhibit, every journal, all the music, poetry readings and any plays we produce as professional and rewarding as possible.
The Awakenings Project held four annual dinners from 2003 through 2006, made possible by charitable contributions from AstraZeneca. During those celebratory evenings, Awakenings artists donated pieces of their artwork to many local area hospitals and mental health centers. The guests experienced a whole range of arts activities, with a display of visual arts, musicians and poets sharing their gifts, even brief monologues or scenes from plays were acted out by actors from the Theater for Mental Health in 2006.
The Discovery of Confidence
Persons with severe mental illnesses often experience stigma and discrimination by a society that views mental ill health in a different light than physical ill health. Caricature portrayals of people with mental illnesses are heavily biased toward bizarre or violent behavior (which is actually no more prevalent than in the general public). We believe the understanding and acceptance of people with mental ill health can be advanced through projects like Awakenings. Our exhibits, writings, performances, and community activities make a statement that persons with mental illness are highly capable and talented people wishing to contribute positively to society. Social researchers agree that gaining or regaining power over our lives is essential to overcoming stigma and achieving our greatest potential. Art is one mechanism to facilitate empowerment and foster recovery. The personal growth and improvement in socialization skills, confidence, and self-esteem in the Awakenings' participants is phenomenal.
A variety of medical, psychotherapeutic and self-help methods have helped people overcome disabilities related to these illnesses and recover. Despite this advancement, persons with severe mental illnesses still experience stigma and discrimination by a society that views mental ill health in a different light than physical ill health. Therefore, we self-identify, and identify with people with a variety of other disabilities which is why, on July 23, 2005 - We participated in the 2nd Disability Pride Parade in Chicago.
We were also honored to have been invited by Thresholds, the largest provider of community mental health services in the state of Illinois, to participate on October 18, 2005 - by having an information table at Thresholds' Leadership Expo at the Oak Lawn Hilton.

BorCon has been pretty good to me. Or to my blog, at least.
I was downloading my server logs a couple days ago, and noticed that the size of each day's logfile seemed to be back down to about the same as before BorCon. Then I looked more closely and noticed an extra digit. My server logs before BorCon averaged somewhere around 50k a day, and now they're more like 400k a day. Whew.
My biggest day was September 13, the Monday of BorCon. My server log for that day was a little over 3.5 megs. Most of that was from everyone who linked to my blog of John Kaster's preconference tutorial on what's new in Diamondback. (Actually, I got as many non-English sites linking to me as I did English sites.) My blog post is evidently the definitive word on that session. It's even been plagiarized.
Since BorCon started, I've had 456 different referers appear in my logs (not counting links from my own domain, or search-agent spiders). And I now have 140 people who reguarly (i.e., more than once within the past week, as identified by both IP address and user-agent) read my RSS feed. There used to be nine.
(Wow. Maybe I'd better come up with something interesting to say one of these days.)
Oddly enough, all this hasn't done much for my Google rank. A Google search for joe white blog places me within the top ten, and has for quite a while; "joe white" blog and joe white's blog have long pegged me at #1. But in a search for just "joe white", I'm still lost in the noise — largely because of some country singer with the nerve to be named Tony Joe White. (Dude, do me a favor and drop the middle name, 'kay?) In that search, I'm somewhere around #368 of 831, when I'm in the search results at all. (Sometimes Google's servers get out of sync, cache weird results, and Google shows duplicate URLs in its results, while I disappear into a seam between search-result pages. I've seen it happen twice now. It's very disqueting to think that Google might have a bug.)

A NASA spaceship has found additional tantalizing evidence for the existence of water ice at Mercury's poles. The researchers superimposed explanation of radar bright patches by the Arecibo Observatory on the latest photos of Mercury's poles taken by the MDIS imaging tool aboard Messenger. Near Mercury's North Pole such deposits are also seen only in shadowed regions, results reliable with the water-ice premise.
Previous work has revealed patches near Mercury's poles that strongly reflect radar a characteristic of ice .The new data from Messenger is strengthening the proof that there is some sort of unstable there, and water-ice seems quite likely. The most attractive interpretation of the radar observations is that they were due to water ice.Sulphur had been projected, there had also been some suggestion it was unevenness though there was no reason craters at the poles should be rougher than those at low latitudes.

I've identified a bug in replication in couchdb. Here are the steps to reproduce: Create a user named "bubba" Create a database with a design document that has attachments. Make this database have "bubba" as an admin and set a reader role of "readme" Try to replicate this DB on another machine with credentials for bubba in the URL (http://bubba:password@remotemachine:port/mydb) You will receive 401s in the log in attachments. It does not matter whether you give bubba the "readme" role or not, the results are the same. Remove the attachment and the design doc will replicate fine. Remove the "readers" from the security object of the DB and the desing doc will replicate fine. This is tested and reproduced on 1.0.1

Mother's Day, my second Mother's Day without Cacia. The first was, well, bleurgh! I was with a toddler Tyrant, a few weeks post delivery of Cacia, still struggling with the post delivery complications, the hormones, the grief, even showering was a struggle, so I really wasn't in the mood. But I did make an effort, I took my mum and Tyrant out for brunch, mainly to try and keep things as normal as possible (if I had done what I wanted, which I wanted to do every day then, I would have refused to get out of bed and told the world to bugger off, wasn't an option then or now!)
This year, I'm still not really in the mood, but I have to be. Tyrant is 3 years old, her preschool are devoting an entire day of activities to Mother's Day. Already, she keeps coming up to me, very sweetly, and saying 'happy mummy's day, mummy'. Tomorrow Tyrant will return home to me, with some form of a self made card and or gift, that I will treasure (I have kept every single picture, mark, line that Tyrant has made for me) and I will be reminded how lucky and thankful I am that I have one of my children with me. At the same time, I will be reminded how unfair it is that I can't treasure all the weird shaped mummy drawings done by Cacia. But this year, I will also be reminded, that the likelihood of me becoming a mother thrice over is increasingly unlikely.
As thankful as I am for Tyrant, her inexhaustible energy and her weird and wonderful artwork I can't stop that small part of me from still being a bit down. So, for today, the day before, I will enjoy dancing with my Tyrant to 'Strange Magic' (her new obsession) and start prepping the baking ingredients, because 'Mummy, you need a cake for Mummy's Day' (I think she thinks it is a birthday). To all the other Mummys out there, Happy Mummy's Day, be it an up or down day.

Patients undergoing surgery in New York hospitals may have better outcomes if they are given pre-surgery education, according to a Gallup analysis. After surveying thousands of patients who had undergone medical device implantations, Gallup researchers found that the patients who were educated about what to expect after surgery were more likely to experience positive outcomes.
Researchers asked patients to report whether or not they knew what to expect after surgery, felt prepared for their post-surgery experience and followed post-surgery instructions. The patients were told to rate these three areas from one to five. Patients who gave a rating of five to at least one of the areas had fewer post-surgery problems and were more satisfied with the outcomes of their procedures. Patients who gave a five rating to more than one area had even greater satisfaction with the results.
Doctors may need to put more effort into pre-surgery education, according to researchers. The Gallup analysis showed that only 37 percent of patients strongly agreed that they knew what to expect before their surgery, felt prepared for the surgery and then followed post-surgery instructions. Although health care providers may not be able to control whether patients follow post-surgery instructions, researchers found that this area was not where the problem was. While 78 percent of patients said that they followed post-surgery instructions, less than half of the patients said that they knew what to expect before surgery and felt prepared.
A patient who was not fully informed about the risks of a surgery before being injured during the procedure may have a case for filing a medical malpractice claim. An attorney may be able to help a patient who has been injured by conducting an investigation into the client's health records and gathering evidence of surgical negligence.

If you want to darken up pale skin for a special event or before going on a beach vacation, a tanning bed will help you achieve a tan faster than just sitting in the sun. Taking care of your skin before and after using the tanning bed in a salon or at home will help you get a faster, better tan.
Exfoliate your skin the night before using a tanning bed. Using an exfoliating scrub in the shower will remove dead skin cells. When dead skin cells are removed, the skin will tan more evenly and faster.
Apply a tan accelerator lotion prior to using the tanning bed. This lotion will quicken the rate at which your skin darkens, much like an outdoor tanning lotion would. A tan accelerator lotion with bronzer will also add an extra deep color and glow.
Ask the salon staff which tanning bed has the newest bulbs. Salons replace the light bulbs in the beds on a schedule. Using a tanning bed with newer bulbs will help you achieve darker skin in less time.
Use the tanning bed with more lights. Salons may have different models of tanning beds and some hold more light bulbs than others. A faster and darker tan can be achieved in the tanning bed with more bulbs.
Schedule appointments for every other day or three times a week. The more you use a tanning bed, the faster you will see results. Because the length of time you can spend in a tanning booth is limited, increase the frequency of visits to achieve a faster tan.
Rub a moisturizing lotion into the skin after each session. A lotion with vitamin E will help keep skin healthy.
Use tanning accelerator lotion that is made for tanning bed use.
Tanning exposes the body to UVA radiation, which damages skin cells and can contribute to cancer. Do not use a tanning bed without wearing eye goggles. Do not exceed more than 20 minutes per tanning session.

If the kids (or you) are suffering Harry Potter withdrawal, you could do worse than check out "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief."
Despite the cumbrous title, it's an entertaining romp that treads very similar ground to the recent remake of Ray Harryhausen's "Clash of the Titans."
Small wonder. They have the same basic premise:
Half-mortal son of Poseidon / Zeus undertakes dangerous quest, with gods and monsters opposing him, every step of the way.
Check out the trailer, below:
The special effects are special enough, so the kids will appreciate the scary monsters. And the heroic – well, kids – at the heart of the story.
It's Classical Mythology, for the ipad generation.
I got a kick out of it. But, judge for yourself.

Viktor & Rolf have become one of my favorite designers!
Viktor and Rolf presented life sized dolls and their doll-sized counterparts at the Barbican Art Gallery in London on July of 2008. The dolls were wearing 55 looks from the past 15 seasons of Viktor and Rolf's collections.
"I looked my eyes out".........an expression in dutch that is so appropriate for what I found.
I feel like designers, musicians, directors and artists of all kinds leave little bread crumbs of creativity through their work, which hopefully will lead other like minded individuals to the discovery of their own art and the ability to create such wondrous things!
These two dutch designers are amazingly playful in terms of their energy. They create from a world of their imagination that is so in alignment with what i'm inspired by as an artist. Their website is based on such a beautiful and fun concept and their message is clear....they are here to create the world of our dreams. I have a great amount of appreciation for that type of thinking. I also aspire to do the same in my short films to enrich this life so that it is never ordinary.

A man who trained with the hope of becoming a professional basketballer has been jailed for at least four years in Adelaide for sexually abusing two young girls he met at a basketball stadium.
The District Court heard Adrian Daniel Wallace, 31, became depressed after his dreams to play in the NBL were shattered by a knee injury.
About the same time in 2002 he met a 11-year-old girl at a Wayville basketball stadium.
Later, he also started sexually abusing the girl's friend.
The court heard the abuse most often happened in secluded places, behind park toilet blocks and on filthy mattresses under bridges.
Judge Wayne Chivell said it was especially disgraceful that Wallace once invited one of his mates to join in.
Wallace did not look at the public gallery during his sentencing.
He will serve at least four years of his eight-year jail sentence.
A child support group known as 'bikers united against child abuse' packed the courtroom to hear the sentencing.
The group was contacted by one of the victim's families and had travelled from interstate to lend support.

Fiji Mission 19-30 April 2016
30 Apr 2016 Shanti Gowans
The Rotary Club, Broadbeach and Shanti Yoga invited its members and friends to volunteer their time and efforts in Fiji this year. We arrived in Nadi, Fiji for an 11 day mission of service.
The first port of call was Koroipita. Koroipita is an ongoing Rotahomes project to build low cost housing to alleviate subhuman living conditions for impoverished families. Rotarians and Rotaractors, working together with local community members have built 231 homes at Koroipita community, Lautoka, Fiji which have given people an opportunity to break free from the cycle of poverty and provide an improved quality of life for them and their children. With two distinct areas of focus, namely to provide cyclone proof homes and a comprehensive community development program, progress to date has involved the construction of simple, timber framed and steel clad homes, each with a kitchen, shower and toilet block.
We took the F$1 bus from Denarau island to Nadi market, and from there the F$3 airconditioned bus to Lautoka where we were met by Peter Drysdale, Project Manager, who toured us around. Also accompanying us was Tom, a peace-core volunteer from the United States. While we were there, the Sewerage Treatment System for the Northern end was being dug out, which will enable 33 more families (out of the 1400+ applications from homeless families i.e. 6300 people on a waiting list prior to Cyclone Winston) to be housed. Building of this model town continues to Stage 3, to provide a solution to the endless cycle of destruction. Fiji now needs 20 such model towns. Three funding partners are involved, namely Rotary, New Zealand Aid Projects and the Fiji Government. The next Koroipita volunteer opportuny will be coming up in 2017.
However, overshadowing the Koropita project was the urgency to alleviate the immediate needs of a number of people in the archipelago nation of more than 300 islands after Cyclone Winston tore across the South Pacific. There are fewer than a million people living in Fiji, spread out on islands thousands of square miles apart. It was the worst storm recorded in the southern hemisphere, which forced people from their houses, had tens of thousands of people in Fiji living in evacuation centres. One hundred and thirty-four schools were destroyed, severely damaged or used as evacuation centres and forty-four people died. A huge tidal surge, up to four metres high, compounded the losses for many villagers.
On our visit to the Ramakrishna Mission Centre in Nadi, Swami Vedanishtanandaji told us that even though the storm peaked on 20 February, there were still a vast number of people in the interior needing help, as the most powerful storm to make landfall in the southern hemisphere, smashed and wiped out their schools, houses, churches, roads and local food crops. Friends in New Zealand had sent four containers of clothes, footwear, bedding, crockery and household goods which needed sorting and delivery into the remote areas. So helping the Ramakrishna Mission fulfil its obligation became our mission. With two, fully packed, from roof to floor, front to back, 5- tonne, fully enclosed monster trucks, one sponsored by local Fiji business owners, Jack's, and the other by Rotary, Broadbeach, 10 of us, including Swamiji, left from Nadi and drove the 3 hours to Vatuseki Yasawa village, beyond Rakiraki. Even two months after cyclone Winston, we passed homes that still had roofs and walls missing, and people still in tents, revealing the scale of damage, and the huge rebuilding task ahead.
Here the local villagers helped unload the gigantic truck, forming two human chains of 14 people from truck to the hall. Whilst this was happening, we met some of those who were among the hardest hit and listened to their incredible tales of survival. For many of them, it took a few hours to lose everything, including family and friends. Roofs and verandahs were blown away, then the outer walls collapsed. Molly, an older woman was just left with the concrete floor. Her entire home had been lifted. Desperately trying to hold onto two infants when her house literally disappeared, she cried as she spoke. A rubbish bag blew out of the truck, Ceily was happy to claim it. A pair of socks fell out of one of the bags, Mary was grateful to pick them up. After the truck had been emptied, the villagers gathered in the hall and sat around for the presentation. Swamiji introduced us as their friends in Australia, and Rajesh and Kala Solanki, their Indian-Fijian friends, explained where the gifts were from, and gave the villagers an encouraging talk. Peter also said a few words. The reciprocal talk was indeed moving… explaining that they had nothing to give in return, except their sincere thanks, prayers and good wishes from their faith in God Almighty.
We then farewelled them, and took off with the next truck for the village on Malaka Island. The truck was parked on a small, rocky slope at the water's edge, that served as a ramp, where we loaded three long boats that headed off to the Malake village, which had no jetty, and access was achieved by wading into shore to unload the boat at the other end.
A drop in the ocean, yet, mission accomplished. Swami Vivekananda reminded us: "This life is short, the vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive."
Cyclone Winston may have taken villagers' homes and possessions, but not their large hearts. Even in the midst of devastation, loss and crises, they sing and pray for better days, and thank God that they are alive. With their characteristic spirit and resilience, the Fijians have humbly shown the world how to just go about rebuilding their lives.
For me, it was a humbling experience, in keeping with Winston S. Churchill's statement, who reminded us: "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

She's literally perfect and I totally admire all her environmentally-friendly designs. After coming back from Dublin, where they are way more eco-friendly and conscious of their impacts on the environment, I'm having a revitalized interest in all things eco-aware. You will definitely be seeing more of this theme and you can safely assume that it's most going anywhere anytime soon. Before declaring my English major, I was going to be an Environmental Science major. It's in my bones.

This week, from Monday, August 04 – Sunday, August 10, 2014, Sephora is giving VIB Rouge junkies 4x the points on all their Sephora purchases, VIB addicts 3x the points, and Beauty Insiders 2x the points ONLINE and IN-STORE.
This is the last post of a 4 part series about what to buy during Sephora's Summer Surge event that earns you up to 4x the points on all your purchases. Click here to read my other articles: 5 Last Minute Travel Shortcuts, 5+1 Back to School Basics, and 6 Best Makeup for Fall 2014.
Earning more points at Sephora gets you more deluxe sized samples, which is obviously amazing because you get to try a whole bunch of stuff before you decide to purchase! And samples make for fantastic weekend travel sizes. These are the 5 Makeup Splurges I have my eye on and I'll tell you why:
KOH GEN DO | Aqua Foundation SPF 15 PA++
I follow a bunch of very renown make-up artists on Instagram and this Japanese brand with its 2 different liquid foundations always show up on my feed. This particular foundation shows up rather often on the lovely (and extremely hilarious) account belonging to one Nick Barose, the magic man behind Lupita Nyong'o's insanely gorgeous premieres and awards seasons late last year and early this year. Although I suppose he didn't use this one her, as it doesn't look like they make her shade, the fact he uses this frequently on his super A-list clientele must mean it's freaking amazing right?? Available online in Canada.
MAKE UP FOR EVER | Sculpting Kit
Contouring is in huh? Or should I say, Kontouring, har har. Anyway, this palette has been around for a gazillion years so it must be doing something right! Now it comes in 4 different colour combinations, so you'll definitely find one to fit your complexion. I'm veering towards Neutral Light. I'm also going to slide in here that I like to highlight more than contour. Keep the contouring soft – make sure it looks good (not crazy) IN PERSON, not just in pictures.
TATCHA | Aburatorigami Japanese Beauty Papers
Otherwise known as Really Fancy Blotting Papers. Also a huge hit with make-up artists on my Instagram feed, so I'm extra curious. Tatcha is a skin care brand built on geisha skin care secrets recorded in a 200 year old manual. Cool huh? And these blotting papers are made with 100 percent natural abaca leaf and gold flake. GOLD FLAKE?? Heck, if that doesn't get you, then just look at the packaging. Beaaauuuuty. I'm going to save these puppies for my extra oily days!
I let a YSL Rep come up to me once and swatch a bit of this stuff on my hand, simply because I thought 'glossy' and 'stain' simply could not go together. I was humbled. It wouldn't come off my hand. I went home and had to scrub a really long time to get this stuff off, so it's true. You can have a great looking gloss, and when it wears off, you're left with a really pretty lip stain. No. 106 Beige Anarchist is lookin' real nice.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS | Brow Powder Duo
Which one is hotter right now: Brows or Contouring?
I used powder to fill in my brow for the longest time, and only switched to a pencil a couple of years ago. It's usually a faster application than powder, but I hate sharpening all the time because trying to find my sharpener in my huge pile of stuff drives me a little nuts. This powder duo catches my eye because you have two shades to play with and you can compensate depending on your mood – do you feel more natural or a little more dramatic, perhaps you changed your hair colour a little, or your skin's darker/lighter with the current season. Plus there are 10 different colour combinations so I'm tempted to say you'll probably find something you'll like. I think I'm going back to powder.
That concludes my 4 part shopping series for this year's Sephora Summer Surge! Happy shopping!

This was my firstshoot with Holly Bender Interiors – and hopefully not the last. We shot through a long afternoon and into the evening but got a lot of good stuff.
Holly does "traditional" interiors – and damn well. Take a careful look at how she goes with the flow of the architecture in these shots to create an interior that's both functional and incredibly comfortable. When I first saw the bedroom at the top of this post, I immediately "read" the room from left to right – with a strong grid pattern on the bedside cabinet mirrored by the grid of the windows. And see how the colors work together? These two elements are connected via the "funky" grid of the duvet. Then there's the overhead light fixture, which somehow reminds me of the Celtic pattern on the pillows. This room is in tune.
I knew I needed to reflect this with the photo, so I made sure to bring in plenty of color in the window, and gave the bed a warm, rich light from the window side, and made the pillows the focal point of the shot.
In the living room, Holly used a large, white, hide rug to mirror the large, white, peaked ceiling. I like the way the irregular perimeter of the rug reminds me of the rafters and trusses as they join the walls.
Again — in the grey boys' room above, Holly has subtly worked with the architecture. It's a classic mid-century modern bedroom, and the arrangement of the twin beds follows the corner windows. The connection between the black-and-white patterned spreads and the zebra rug is obvious. The primary color in the room is really the wood floor, so I used light to warm up the cozy little nook in front of the bookcase to accentuate that and pull the eye in.
I'm leaving the master bedroom for your interpretation. A couple of things should jump right out…but like any work of art, you bring your own vision to it, so let your right brain out for a little walk….you may discover something!

Anger runs through my vains,
Frustration rushes to my brain,
I get the urge to put my fists through a door,
I can feel the steam coming out my pores….
When I'm feelin this way I need to be alone,
I need to be able to rant & rave on my own…
Let me listen to my music so I can come back to me,
Let me toke a couple of blunts so I can calmly think,
Just give me some time to compose myself back to sweet….
Don't take this personal just give me some space and I'll be back to normal

Hawaiian Luau Cake
by Melanie
(Pittsburgh, PA)
This luau cake was the grand finale dessert for a luau-themed birthday party. The Roasted Pig Luau cake was actually, really easy to make!
First, get a white cake mix (or any flavor, but white went best with the strawberry icing that we used to frost it). Follow directions and bake half of the mix in a 9″ round cake pan and the other half in a 8″x8″ square baking pan.
When cool, place the round piece on a cake stand. Cut the rectangular piece in half diagonally, so you end up with two triangles. Position those at the top to look like ears.
Frost the head and ears with strawberry icing, or any kind of pink icing– even white icing that you've added food coloring to.
Take a cupcake (can be purchased separately or baked from a small portion of the cake batter) and frost with the icing. Place in middle of round cake to look like snout.
Using a small tube of black decorator icing, draw in the features such as eyes, lines on the ears and nostrils on top of the cupcake snout.
Cut an apple in half and place below the cupcake snout to be the mouth (roasted pigs always have an apple in their mouth).
Lastly, carefully slide pieces of romaine lettuce under the cake and all around the cake platter to make it look like you are serving the pig on a bed of lettuce.
Stick in some birthday candles and enjoy!
