There are many types of hair removal creams. Though they all perform the same function, there are different types from which to choose, depending on hair texture and even the part of the body on which it will be used. For example, a person with coarse hair may need a maximum-strength hair removal cream. A person with sensitive skin and fine hair, on the other hand, may need a gentle formulation. Besides variations in strengths, there are some hair removal creams that are specifically marketed for use on the face while others are for all-over use or intended for the arms, legs, or armpits.
Also called chemical depilatories, these creams are formulations used to act on a person's hair strands. They degrade a protein called keratin in the hair. Since keratin is the primary protein found in hair, this effectively breaks down the hair enough that it can be wiped right off the skin's surface. When a hair removal cream is used, there's no need to risk nicking the skin with razors or irritating it by pulling it from its shafts with tweezers.
Often, hair removal cream contains calcium hydroxide and potassium thioglycolate that combine to dissolve keratin and weaken body hair at its root. This allows the user to wipe the treated hair off her body without pulling at it. Calcium hydroxide is a base ingredient that works to change the texture of the user's hair. This prepares the hair for the potassium thioglycolate, an acid that has the job of causing the keratin to deteriorate.
Different brands of hair removal cream may contain different ingredients. They usually contain an acid and base that work together to destroy keratin, however. A hair removal cream that is designed for sensitive skin and fine hair may contain fewer harsh ingredients than those designed for use on normal skin and normal-to-coarse hair. Often, the sensitive skin creams also include ingredients designed to protect and heal the skin, such as aloe vera and shea butter. These ingredients are often included in dry-skin formulas as well.
Some hair removal creams are designed specifically for use on the face. While other creams may remove hair from the face as well, many manufacturers warn against using them in this manner. The chemicals in regular removal creams are typically very harsh and can irritate delicate facial skin. In fact, a person may develop a painful chemical burn when using regular hair removal products on the face.
Post 1
This article provides beneficial information about varieties of hair removal creams. These creams are painless way of getting rid of unwanted body hair. However it may have some side effects on skin. So people should be very careful while using these products. It is good to use hair removal creams only after consulting some experts.

A leading Aberdeen sports and fitness facility is launching an innovative exercise club primarily aimed at brides-to-be.
Aberdeen Sports Village (ASV) has created the Running Brides Club to help brides-to-be get fit in time for their big day.
The Club, which will launch on Saturday, January 23, has been designed to assist brides-to-be in achieving their fitness goals.
The group will meet every Saturday morning at 9am at the ASV Sports Centre Reception, which is located on Linksfield Road, and will be lead by one of the centre's professional trainers who will provide top training tips and nutritional advice to participants.
Duncan Sinclair, chief executive of Aberdeen Sports Village, said: "The Running Brides Club has been developed to allow brides-to-be, their bridal parties, and their family and friends to exercise together in a motivational and fun way.
"At Aberdeen Sports Village we are proud to support and educate individuals on how to get fit, and encourage all of our members to work alongside others with the aim of reaching their fitness goal targets.
"The running club will offer an excellent platform for brides to exercise together in a fun and informal environment where they can reach their fitness goals before they run down the aisle."
ASV fitness consultant and personal trainer, Adam Blake, added: "Nutrition is extremely important within an exercise programme and has a huge impact on the results you can achieve.
"Not eating the right things can in turn, result in all of that hard work going to waste.
"With our help and expertise we will be able to advise individuals on their nutritional habits, creating top tips on what they should be eating and when they should be eating so that they achieve maximum effects throughout the programme."
As well as the Running Brides Club, the state-of-the-art facility has also recently launched a range of short-term memberships available to couples looking to tone up or slim down.
Brides and grooms will receive personalised exercise plans and support from Aberdeen Sports Village Fitness Consultants.
Additional memberships include Mr and Mrs Fit, All about the Dress, Groom to Go and Fit Forever After.
The Running Brides Club will cost £30 for a block of 10 sessions, and will run for the duration of the year, meaning individuals can join at any time.
For more information on the club and any of the other initiatives please contact ASV on 01224 438900 or visit www.aberdeensportsvillage.com.

With its dramatic scenery and unique wildlife, Milford Sound is one of New Zealand's most breathtaking regions.
Cruising along calm waters between sheer cliffs carved by centuries of ice erosion, immerse yourself in a mysterious world in an undersea viewing chamber and catch sight of majestic Mitre Peak and cascading waterfalls that thunder into the depths below. It's no wonder Rudyard Kipling described it as the 'eighth wonder of the world'.
Milford Sound is one of the wettest places on earth raining around 200 days of the year with an average annual rainfall of 7 metres. Rainfall can reach 250 millimetres in 24 hours and creates dozens of temporary waterfalls that cascade down sheer cliff walls – it's a spectacular sight.
Southern Discoveries lets you discover Milford Sound your way with a variety of cruise options to suit your taste and timeframes. To get there, you can travel by car, coach or by air.
As the longest and most established operator in Milford Sound, this magical fiord is our home – and we'd like to share our backyard with you.

Bullitt County Public School officials have identified six elementary and four middle schools open for transfers for the 2017-2018 School Year. To identify schools, officials reviewed the 2016-2017 Growth Factor Report, Second Month Attendance Report and looked at the school's rated student capacity. Transfers are dependent on no issues with the student's grades, attendance and discipline; there must be room in the identified grade level and the parent must transport. Non-compliance with academic, attendance, or discipline requirements may result in forfeiture of future transfers or a return of the student to his/her school of residence.
Parents may make application December 1, 2016, through January 15, 2017 for a student transfer in accordance with Bullitt County Board of Education Policy to attend an elementary or middle school identified as accepting transfers for the next school year. Click on application form to download the document. It is also located on the Parents Page of the district website. Once granted a transfer to an open school, parents may make application for their child to attend that school subsequent school years in accordance with Board Policy.

Those of you who have visited our website, www.next-action.eu, since Friday last week will have noticed that we've changed, well, pretty much everything. New branding, new navigation, the lot.
Now such a dramatic change wasn't undertaken lightly, and this week I'll use my blog spot to talk about the top ten reasons behind the big change:
10) We want to be there for you, wherever you are – over the last several years we've been seeing a steady rise in the number of people who access our site from mobile devices, mostly smart phones. Our old site was optimized for computer-based browsers, which meant that those of you accessing it on your mobile were probably doing a lot of pinching to zoom, or squinting, or both. The new site uses "responsive design", so it works well whether you've got a 28-inch monitor or a 5-inch mobile screen.
9) Quick, what's relevant? – we've reorganized the home page so it's clearer where you can find things of interest. Already know something about GTD? Start with the links in the "Familiar with GTD?" section. Are you a GTD newbie? Check out the resources for individuals and companies in the "New to the Getting Things Done?" section.
8) Keeping up with David Allen – the David Allen Company re-branded a few months ago, and as their exclusive certified partner in the UK and Ireland, we wanted a brand that was simpatico with theirs. Our new brand is inspired by and sits comfortably with their new one. A bit bolder, a bit more expansive, a bit more GTD.
7) Sibling rivalry – our sister company in the German-speaking world, Next Action Partners, has had a snazzy new brand since they launched their brilliant website back in the Spring (have a browse at www.next-action.de if you're curious and/or you'd like to try out your German). By comparison, we were starting to feel a bit like Cinderella before the ball. Our new site lets us hold our heads high when we're on web conferences with our colleagues in Berlin.
6) We're celebrating our 5th year – hard to believe, but we're now five years old. In a world where most companies don't make it past year two, five is quite a milestone. The new brand and site are candles on the birthday cake.
5) Re-branding feels good – having a new brand feels like changing your wardrobe. Or having the kitchen re-done. Or buying a new car. You get the idea.
4) Hey, look me over (again) – we're hoping lots of people who knew the old site but haven't visited us for a while will pay us a visit. If that's you, please do drop in.
3) Provide a platform for features and expansion – we've built the new site on the latest flexible internet technologies. So we're confident that when that next tech trend hits, (larger mobile screens, anyone?) we'll be ready.
2) Built on solid foundations – it's all behind the scenes, but the engine room of the new site makes it more responsive, reliable, and generally whizzier than ever.
1) Feedback: musicians hate it, we love it – we've put a lot of time and effort into the new site, and we're hoping you'll find it helpful, engaging, and informative. If you have some feedback, whether raves or rants, it will be gratefully received at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're already thinking about the next version of the site, and your thoughts will help us make it that much better.

ENCINITAS — After six hours of staff presentations and public comment, City Council directed staff to refine a controversial option to improve the North Coast Highway Streetscape project at its Jan. 13 meeting.
With an overflow crowd in an adjoining room the council chambers filled up before the 6 p.m. start of the highly anticipated meeting. Residents wearing red shirts and holding neon signs that read "4A DELAYS" and "4A NO WAY" dotted the mass of people. At least 60 people signed up to address the council.
After two years of public discussions, open houses and informal discussions with civic and business leaders, the city's planning department unveiled two final options — 4A and 5 — for the controversial North Coast Highway 101 Streetscape Project. Along with consulting firm MW Peltz and Associates, staff supported option 4A to beautify the Leucadia corridor.
The Leucadia project area covers a two-mile stretch along Highway 101 between A Street and La Costa Avenue. The two final proposals presented to council differed slightly but generally include planting additional trees and landscaping, improving sidewalks and bicycle lanes, creating additional parking and implementing traffic calming measures.
The project's Senior Planner Diane Lananger said plans have been thoroughly researched. "The public has been and is key in this process," she told the council. Yet, there wasn't a clear consensus on how to create a more pedestrian-friendly corridor while maintaining the community character. "I don't want to look like Birdrock (in La Jolla)," Stephanie Shelton said. "This is Leucadia and I don't want to see it stripped bare of its essence."
The most contested element of option 4A was the use of five traffic roundabouts and eliminating one northbound lane according to the majority of the speakers.
"I'm not sure taking out a lane is going to solve anything but it seems like there is evidence that it has worked in other places," Leucadia resident John Davenport said after the meeting. Councilman Jim Bond opposed the elimination of the northbound lane during council comments. "I'm trusting the traffic engineers' methodology that reducing it to one lane won't cause gridlock," Councilman Jerome Stocks said.
Just after midnight, Councilwoman Teresa Barth motioned to direct staff to make revisions to the 4A plan. "What we decided was to come up with a new phase I that looks at the entire corridor," she said. "So rather than having just a small beginning, we can look at the entire vision."
Stocks said his concerns with option 4A include the Jupiter and Seabluff roundabouts that would require taking private property. "I'm not willing to do that," he said. "I like wider sidewalks, more plaza and public space for gathering but we'll have to figure out a different treatment for those intersections that doesn't include taking private property."
"Because it's going to be rolled out over 10 years, I think it will give us time to readjust if we need to," Barth said. "This is a framework for our long-term goals."
"Perhaps phase I won't start south and just plod along to the north, but staff can figure a way to get the biggest bang for our buck," Stocks said. Without a cost estimate for the first phase of option 4A, staff is unsure of the final price tag. Stocks said that number should be forthcoming in the next report to council. No time frame for completion of a reworked 4A option was given.
$2.7 million is currently set aside for the first phase of the project. The city has budgeted $500,000 annually for the next five years to fund the construction. Barth said federal and state grants could help supplement the costs.

Every person at one time or another in their lives has had a headache. While an occasional headache is nothing to be concerned with, severe and recurring headaches can significantly reduce ones' quality of life and ability to work. While many people would not naturally think of consulting a chiropractor for headaches, they are often successfully treated with chiropractic care.
Headaches after whiplash injury are very common due to strain and sprain of the neck tissues. Many forms of tension, stress, and even migraine headaches may have their origin with nerve irritation in the upper neck. Alignment problems with the vertebrae causing stress and inflammation of muscles, nerves and other tissues are a common cause of headaches. Specific adjustments to improve alignment and mobility and reduce irritation on the delicate structures of the upper neck are often helpful in alleviating the common symptom of headache. A careful chiropractic examination, which may include x-rays of the neck area, is the first step in determining if chiropractic care may be the appropriate course to pursue.

Bag-check datapoint of the day, AA edition
In March 2010, I had the bright idea — stolen shamelessly from Eric Joiner — that airlines might charge a negative bag-check fee.
A lot of people, of course, simply hate the idea of risking their bags being lost, and/or of milling around at a baggage carousel waiting for their bags to arrive. But many others would love the idea of getting paid, in dollars or in frequent-flyer miles, for checking their bags…
Passengers would get on and off planes more quickly, the airlines would make more money, and everybody would be happier.
My commenters were unimpressed. Wouldn't this just encourage people to pack more and therefore add more weight to the plane? Wouldn't it even — at the margin — encourage people to check empty cardboard boxes, and not even bother picking them up at the other end?
But lo — look what American Airlines has just announced!
Through November 22, 2011, American Airlines will offer AAdvantage® elite status members the opportunity to earn a minimum of 500 AAdvantage bonus miles for checking bags on flights departing Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
Earning the bonus miles is easy – simply visit a BOS Self-Service Check-In machine on the day of your departure and follow the normal steps to check-in with bags. Check at least one bag under your own name to earn the bonus miles, which will automatically post to your AAdvantage account five business days after you have completed the travel associated with your itinerary. As a reminder, all AAdvantage elite status members are entitled to check two bags free of charge (within current size and weight limits) in addition to earning the bonus miles with this special offer.
By confining the offer to elite status members — you need to be gold or platinum — AA has presumably minimized the number of people who will try to check empty cardboard boxes, or pack more than they need. But this does seem to confirm that AA has begun to realize that its current incentives are misaligned: it's got far too many business travelers wheeling on luggage which is carefully designed to go right up to the limit of the carry-on rules. As a result, it takes far too much time to get people on and off planes, whose luggage bins are permanently overstuffed. And flyers unhappily schlep heavy bags all over airports across the country.
I have no idea whether AA's experiment will catch on — for the time being it's only at one airport, and it's only lasting a few weeks. And AA is in pretty desperate straits right now — it's probably willing to try things it wouldn't normally consider. But this is a big conceptual leap from AA's current policy of charging extra for checked bags and therefore giving people an incentive not to check. If it's a success, dare we hope that those bag-check fees might start going away?

So what works for you?
Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Jason Wu incorporated pearls, cage barrettes and feathers all giving an up do an incredible twist. Whilst accessories last season were super-sized, this time they are more a part of the hair. This look is so easy to recreate, and can be left to the wearer on what they decide to choose. Metal accessories toughen up a chic bun, whilst pearls are a great addition to romanticize the hair - and is a nod to the underwater/mermaid trend seen on the catwalk.
Luxe, glam and definitely gives that 'ladies who lunch' look. This is a show-stopping style that gives the wearer bounce and volume Cheryl Cole would be envious of. This works well on ladies with long hair, but most face shapes can pull off the look. Chloe and Versace models glided down the catwalk with hair that gleamed. Using a round brush for a boost to the roots (lifting up and away from the head) and a volume-boosting mousse will give you super-style.
I pondered the wet-look trend last week, it's a thin-line between looking great and um, looking like you've been caught in a storm. I love the look with dry ends to give a balance between the slick, shiny top and matte, textured ends. Chanel and Alexander Wang sent wet-look hair down the catwalk and it's been spotted on Keira Knightley, Heidi Klum and Megan Fox to name a few!
My favourite is definitely the embellished up do, I think adding silver and gold barrette clips will give a cool futuristic feel, you could even weave in some foil for a slice of textured metal in the hair.
What's your favourite? What trend will you be following this year?

companies will be spending billions of dollars to replace technology destroyed by the world trade center attacks. the current assessment is that securities firms alone will have to dole out us$3-$7 billion to replace lost computer systems, including desktop pcs, laptops, workstations, servers, networking hardware, storage, and printers.
dell claims to have sold more than 24,000 systems so far to replace destroyed equipment. to handle the orders, dell has stepped up production and sent hundreds of technicians to manhattan and washington. other big computer companies such as ibm and compaq are also seeing large replacement orders.
read more at ny times. thanks to d. lanier for pointing out the nytimes article.
rob's opinion
it seems wrong to be happy about the re-invigorated tech companies, but out of every bad situation there's always an upside. the tech companies are going to benefit in the short and possibly long term, as businesses displaced by the wtc attacks scramble to find office space and re-stock it with equipment, including computers, telecom equipment (phones, switches), networking hardware, and who knows what else.
do you realize that dell stock is down almost 6% today? it seems almost silly with all of those orders pouring in and more sure to follow. not only will companies have to pay for the systems, but they are going to have to pay people to network them all back together. i imagine that there will be a lot of short- and medium-term consulting projects in manhattan, and dell is looking to provide assistance … and make some well-earned money also, of course.
you have to imagine that there was some old equipment in the wtc and it will all be replaced with brand new stuff. i'm really curious to see if the market even notices that this is going on, as so far it's just been one big sell-off as consumers and brokers alike are panicking and dumping their stock.

they do not spam, nor sell your name. i have been registered with them for almost four years, and have maybe received 10 sales letters in that time. their content more than makes up for having to give your name. if you have an issue with it, get a hotmail account. – by crabbyoldguy

|have to love…… (6:47pm est thu sep 20 2001)
the comments by "by nom$kissass" and "by the scavenger".
1) why would they want linsux? i guarantee that i can be way more productive on my windows me then you can on your linsux machine. yes, i have used linsux (mandrake and red hat). counter productive. had to figure out how to install crap, save work to be taken to work, etc etc. linsux is more of a hassle then anything else. if i wanted command line, or scripting then i would be a computer programmer. linsux is "ok" for stability…but other then that…what is it good for?
"what have you done with your linux computer today?"
"let it run for the 200th day."
"anything else?"
for "by nom$kissass"…whatever. your comments show complete ignorance. even according to the news, they took some flying lessons…duh.
|re: spending billions to replace lost computers (6:54pm est thu sep 20 2001)
yes, but just because these companies are going to make billions on this doesn't matter. if it's a tech stock it's still going to be punished as they have been for months now. tech = fail internet companies to the novice investor. tons of people are still clamoring for highspeed net access and other such services yet the telecom sector has gone to hell. i work for a telecom that is doing very, very well..yet our stock gets pounded daily by people who have no idea what is going on. it's a market of uneducated day traders and people who are not in it for the long haul..they don't see stocks skyrocketing as they did 2 years ago..so they just pump and dump. it's sad really. – by ben
|windoze me? (7:55pm est thu sep 20 2001)
you have got to be kidding me. linux is not for everyone, if your a "plug-in-appliance" operator you will not like it. it does not ship with computers that have a nice large picture of where to pluge the mouse and keyboard in. unix has always been the most kick-ass, get the work done, with no frills o/s, period!! microsoft has done their homework well, they provide an o/s that "anyone" can operate to a degree, with little or no knowledge of what they are doing, but like all things there is a down side to that. – by unix #1
|jjk obviously is (9:03pm est thu sep 20 2001)
or a non-computer educated person.
seriously, how can you compare a desktop os that is still based on a single-user, single-threaded, single-processor os called dos, disguised with a gui and called windows me? honestly, you make me laugh.
linux is a server os, which can be compared to nt, solaris, aix, novell…etc. windows me has none of these capabilities and has no place in any corporate environment. (nor most peoples homes…)
jjk, give it up, go get an education, perhaps become a computer programmer – then you'll understand why most developers and technicians hate windows.
|computers for lives (10:58pm est thu sep 20 2001)
what opinions can you give about this thought……if you have noticed there hasn't been much talk at all about developent of our icbm defense shield for the usa lately. this attack i feel will delay development/deployment of the only hope of the usa maintaining political globle influence and power….every nation will have icbm before long…..we the civilize and nations that have always stood proud beside the usa must have this technology deployed as soon as possiably in order to maintain our position within the world. my opinion is that our enemy's know that we can do it, and they ofcourse where behind this attack on the usa. i really feel that this was one of the main reasons for the attack…..to distract the usa fom our goal…..world peace – by neo
|jjk – your comments show you're completely naive. (11:06pm est thu sep 20 2001)
how do you think the terrorists trained for the correct flight path and altitude to hit their targets on the first attempt?
i'm sure their flying lessons didn't include test runs at hitting the wtc towers from different angles using the plane of their choice.
here are some quotes from the msnbc news item i linked to above.
"microsoft corp. says it will postpone releasing the new version of flight simulator, its popular computer game that allows players to fly airplanes over new york city and other metropolitan areas, because of last week?s terrorist attacks. speculation that the game may have been used by the hijackers to improve their flying skills"
"in existing versions of flight simulator, players can pilot aircraft ranging from gliders to jetliners over much of the world, with detailed scenery of airports and cities, including new york and the world trade center towers." – by nom$kissass

|scavenger, you are retarded piece of… (8:51am est fri sep 21 2001)
businesses will buy what they want. that is called freedom. that is the initial basis of our upcoming war. bitching because they don't buy your favorite os shows that you are a fascist wannabe. windows 2000 is as stable as linux (when properly configured), has more useful apps, has better benchmark performance, and most companies are happy to pay the licenses if it doesn't mean having to use a half-baked os like linux. solaris & aix are much more expensive than windows. most companies can't afford the overpriced hardware and admins necessary to run commercial unix. in a free country, people can buy whatever platform they like. there are advantages and disadvantages to every major platform. for most companies, it is more advantageous to run windows. accept it that everyone doesn't want to run your os or find yourself a totalitarian state to live in, such as afghanistan. must every post you make be one of spreading ignorance and hostility? – by steven
|linux is not for everybody (9:35am est fri sep 21 2001)
yes, that is completly true, and something any linux guru will say.
one comment was made to make linux the os for all the replacement computers and servers.
why, so tens of thousands of people can have a stable workstation os they can't do anything with?
linux isn't for everybody, and it isn't for the business desktop. perhaps servers are better off with linux at the core (but then only as a stable file pusher).
so, microsoft will be the formost os installed on all these new business machines, and they will probably all be installing windows xp because all new computers are being installed and shipped with the os.
wait a minute, did i just expose a conspiracy?

|microsoft flight simulator. (10:32am est fri sep 21 2001)
according to nom$kissass, the terrorists probably trained with microsoft flight simulator. well, they probably travelled on amtrak, they probably drank pepsi, they probably wore shirts made by …so what's your point? microsoft is deleting the twin towers from its new release of
microsoft flight simulator 2002. as much as i can understand its sympathy and concern for the tragedy, i think it is a dumb move to regress your technology due to incidents like this. yes, this is no ordinary incident, but we've lost the actual towers. just leave us the virtual ones in their memory. maybe boeing should remove the wings from their planes too.try getting your pilots license using only microsoft flight simulator. like jay leno said, we've been sucker-punched, let us not start blaming each other now. i have said. – by crosswind
|back to the subject (12:22pm est fri sep 21 2001)
computer maufacturers and tech companies may benefit in the short term — approximately 1 year. but, there is no indication that there will be surge in demand any time soon. don't use the "xp will boost pc sales" argument, it may increase sales for less than a quarter, but it isn't the long term savior people are hoping for.
what signs are there of an economic boom? one that is an actual boom instead of a mislead spree of money throwing? "checkpremise" was on a good path of thinking — in thise case, one sector's gain is anothers loss. – by patrick
|flight sim (2:26pm est fri sep 21 2001)

|question? (4:53pm est fri sep 21 2001)
have you been hit with nimba lately?
not me. – by the scavenger
|the scavenger… (5:54pm est fri sep 21 2001)
linsux sure has come along way in its 10 years. :) and "scavenger", no…nimba or any computer virus has not hit me since 1994 (tentacle i think was the virus name).
and again…to nom$kissass…give it a break. blaming flight sim for the twin towers is a complete laugh. of course, you linsux folks blame ms for everything.
|jjk? (1:37am est sat sep 22 2001)
why do you continue to bash linux? i also mentioned solaris, and aix. you don't seem to mention them. you just keep repeating the word linsux. i have come to a conclusion –
you've never used these os's. you have nothing to base any opinion on. also, i repeat that you continue to compare the dos based microsoft os's to linux without understanding just how fundamentally different they are.
with dos (a.k.a. win9x/me) one person does one thing at a time on one processor.
with linux, many people do many different things at the same time on multiple processors (if the box is so equipped).
i work on computer systems that handle multi-million dollar databases that require extreme security. that's why it runs unix and not windows. it's not pretty when you have to explain to a vice-president that a system will be down for a few hours because of a kernel level forking error that is causing the database to corrupt at a rediculously low transaction rate that takes out several machines through the advanced replication mechanism. forcing an 8 hour backup process that means the company loses about a million bucks. that is what happens with nt.
– by the scavenger
|scavenger and jjk (2:31pm est mon sep 24 2001)
you guys should mellow out. you both have a point to a degree, but not enough to thrash each other with. linux/unix makes great servers, micro$oft has a ways to go in that department, though they do offer some interesting services. problem is they don't usually follow standards (m$'s dns is so off standard it's not even funny. easy to crash because of that…). linux is a fantastic compination of powerfull server-like software and for experienced users offers a much more custimizable and stable system with more options. trouble is it's not compatible with as many games (for the gamers out there) and requires a rather steep learning curve for non unix users. jjk claims you can't do anything with it, i think he just doesn't know how to use it or hasn't used it enough to get a feel for it. and m$'s products have there place. non computer literate workers (quite a few out there) and hard core gamers will definately prefer m$ for now. of course, both operating systems will continue to mature… – by cobalt
|hmmm (5:11pm est wed sep 26 2001)
you can always trust geeks to veer totally from the subject then end up with an argument about windows and linux. its funny. – by www.mp3.com/6mm
|linux vs windows (7:51am est tue mar 30 2004)
whilst linux enthusiasts have been busy extolling its virtues, windows has evolved into one hell of a stable os.
linux appears to evolve slowly and in a reactionary manner (ie it is becoming more graphical to try to match windows) whereas microsoft is looking 10 or more years into the future.
open source doesn't necessarily equate to security as the vast majority of users won't enrol in uni to learn c++ etc.
in the end it comes down to support and money. if you can afford to sacrifice your life to learn command line administration and/or are too thrifty to let the sun's rays into your wallet, then linux is for you.

The methodology of experiments has been slow to garner a following in public administration (PA), a scientific discipline that exhibits a high degree of methodological conservatism over time (Perry 2012). Our re-view takes stock of the experimental research agenda so far. Examining all articles that appeared between 1990 and 2013 in the fifteen most cited journals in the field of 'Public Administration', we analyze the range of experimental PA research with regards to their coverage of ex-perimental methods and research designs applied, but also with a view to their contribution to the development of an experimental research agenda. Based on the finding that PA not only experiences a general dearth of experimental research, but also a limited scope with regard to the variety of experimental designs and research questions tackled, we assess the potential benefits from that methodological advancement and outline approaches for prospective research.

Well, I received a phone call from my sister-in-law yesterday demanding that I start blogging again, so, here goes.
For Erica. We've been busy and then again, not so busy. When I think I'm crazy busy, I just remember my good friend Ali, who just had twins. Twin boys. Here she is with one of them , the other, on this day, was still in the NICU. (But he's home now.)
He was so itty bitty. Just like a little doll at 5 pounds. I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to snuggle him for hours.
Here's big brother working on his puzzles.
I had my own mommy moment watching this one sleep. He is so peaceful, when he's konked out- and only when he's totally out. I love how my boy's snuggle with their animals.
Monkey had his Open House at school. I started to take some shots of his work…
but then I looked over to see Chunk destroying the classroom and that was that. The camera instantly had to be put away to contain this guy.
And the Chunk has grown. Big time. He's a monster on the move. But he's still really adorable after bath time.
And just so you can see him action… he's gotten into moving the trash cans in the kitchen all over the place. It is really important work for him. Chunk concentrates and huffs and puffs and works until everything is just as he wants it.
So, as you can see, we've been busy, but not really busy. I've been really trying to be "here" like really here when the boys are up. With all three boys moving in separate directions I feel like I'm spinning and spinning and spinning. Ever feel that way?

The Johnson County Healthcare Center's Board of Trustees, at their meeting Wednesday evening, approved the purchase of an adjacent property to the healthcare center.
The property, identified as the "Firnekas Property" on North DeSmet Avenue, has been in the crosshairs of the healthcare center for a number of years, and the owners now appear ready to sell the property to the hospital.
Hospital Administrator Sandy Ward asked the board for approval to purchase the property for $100,000, which they did approve.
The JCHC will take possession of the property July 1st, and is expected to demolish the buildings currently on the property.

Renewable energy has come a long way from the early days, when most people thought global warming was nothing more than scaremongering and when the fossil fuel giants used their power and influence to block research and silence anyone who dared question the feasibility of our continued reliance on oil, gas and coal. Climate change (the new and more accurate term for global warming, and peak oil is now accepted as fact by most if not all governments, even the United States which has traditionally denied any link between carbon emissions and climate change.
There is still a long way to go, but the fact that the problem has been widely recognised has allowed for the creation of whole new industries, focussing on how best to shift away from traditional energy sources to cleaner, more sustainable alternatives. At a time when the global economy is struggling to emerge from the worst recession in decades, the renewables industry appears to be booming.
Why Bother With Renewable Energy?
There are three reasons for the drive toward renewable energy – the environment, energy security and economics. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts like insulation in that it prevents heat from escaping back into space. Once the rate of release of carbon dioxide exceeded the rate at which the Earth could reabsorb it, the Earth was obviously going to heat up, causing draught, flooding and many other damaging environmental effects. That point has passed and we are seeing the predicted effects now.
As well as the environmental issues, fossil fuels are clearly a finite resource. Experts argue about how long reserves might last but noone can deny that they will run out eventually. Such is our reliance on fuel for every aspect of our daily lives that it is difficult to see how society as we know it could continue without it. Imagine if you could only travel as far as you could walk. You had to grow your food, find your own water, make fired for heat and light, make your own clothes. There are no hospitals or doctors, no teachers or schools. No police and no courts. We would be cast back into the Stone Age but the vast majority would lack all of the essential skills to survive in that environment.
Since its invention, money has always been a driving force for technological advancement. Well before the oil eventually runs out, any economy which relies solely on it will collapse because of spiralling prices. Already, many experts say that the current global recession has been made deeper and longer as a result of record oil prices. As demand increases and supply decreases the major oil producing nations, most of whose ideologies are at odds with Western culture and politics, will become more and more powerful.
Why Not Just Use Nuclear Power?
At one time, nuclear power seemed to be the answer. To many it still is. After all a small amount of fuel can produce an incredible amount of energy with no harmful emissions. The problems though are threefold. First, there is the potential for another Chernobyl. Nuclear accidents are relatively rare but when they do occur the potential consequences are unthinkable. Second, uranium itself is a finite resource, so nuclear can never be the final solution since uranium will eventually run out. Third, if nuclear power were to replace fossil fuels as the world's major energy source then no longer could certain countries be prevented from developing their own nuclear technology. This in turn would mean it would be only a matter of time before an unstable regime developed a nuclear weapon. Imagine if Hussein or Gadaffi had had nuclear weapons? The threat to the security of the rest of the world would simply be too great to tolerate.
Who are the World's Leading Producers of Renewable Electricity?
Perhaps surprisingly, in terms of kilowatt hours of electricity produced, the world's largest producer is China. Historically criticised for its spiralling carbon emissions as its industrial sector boomed, China has clearly realised the potential of the renewable energy sector and now produces 576.1 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity per year, which equates to 17.88% of total consumption. Brazil, another recently industrialised nation that has been accused of not pulling its weight in the battle against climate change, is 3rd in the global list, with the United States 2nd.
These countries are however also among the largest consumers, so this only half the story. In terms of the percentage of total electricity consumed coming from renewable sources, most African nations are in the high eighties or nineties. This is probably more to do with the fact that many of these are third world countries and do not have a mature electricity network. Of the industrialised nations, Interestingly Albania, which produces all of its electricity from renewables, leads the way. Of the major global economies, Brazil is streets ahead of the rest with 88.88% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. China is on 17.88%, India manages 14.58%, the USA just 10.05% and the UK lags behind most of the world on a pretty poor 6.18%.
Which are the Leading Renewable Energy Technologies?
Hydro electricity accounts for the vast majority of the renewable energy produced by 9 out of the top ten renewable energy producing countries. The only exception is Germany. Hydro electricity accounts for around 20% of its production, with wind power (approx. 36%) and biomass (approx. 33%) accounting for the majority of its production. It also produces around 12% from solar power.
Hydro electricity is often criticised for the dramatic and often adverse effect it has on the local environment and on the natural habitat of the wildlife in the area. It is however one of the most reliable alternatives to fossil fuels. Unlike solar or wind power electricity production can continue at a stable rate irrespective of any prevailing weather conditions and whether it is night or day. Unlike biomass it does not require fuel to be grown and transported. There will always be water and water and water will always flow so barring a burst dam or similar catastrophe hydro power can be relied upon indefinitely.
Wind power is the next most prolific. Solar power ranks quite low, however this may have plenty to do with the fact that the countries best placed to exploit it, those on the equator and in or around the Sahara desert, are least able to summon the necessary resources. Expect that to change over the next decade or so as international consortia begin to invest in solar farms in these countries.
Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investments
The majority of the new money in the renewable energy sector is being invested in wind and solar power. China leads the world, with $54.4 billion invested in 2010, an increase of 39% on 2009. The majority, $45 billion, was invested in wind, with $4.7 billion spent on solar energy. Germany is the world's second largest investor with $41.2 billion, a 100% increase for 2010. $36.1 billion was channelled into solar power projects.
The USA, despite increasing investment by 51%, moved down to third in the 2010 list with $36 billion worth of investment mostly in biofuels and wind. Brazil, with $7.6 billion, ranked 6th, also splitting its money between biofuels (40%) and wind (31%). The UK dropped to 13th, with investment totalling $3.3 billion, a 70% decrease in investment. The majority, 52%, was spent on offshore wind farms. Uncertainty around government energy policies has been blamed for the decrease in investment.

Distinguished Lecture in Renaissance Studies
"Soundproof: Listening for Silence in Early Modern England"
Presented by Heidi Brayman Hackel, UC Riverside
This talk will bring together an exploration of silent religious practices and the emergence of communication systems for the deaf in Renaissance Europe in order to better understand the imagined acoustic boundaries of two critical innovations of the English public stage – the aside and the dumb show.
Heidi Brayman Hackel (UC Riverside) is the author of Reading Material in Early Modern England: Print, Gender, and Literacy and the co-editor of Reading Women and (with ASU Professor Ian Moulton) the forthcoming Teaching Early Modern English Literature from the Archives. Her current book project centers on deafness, muteness, and gesture in early modern England.
This event is free and open to the public.

Thankfully, it is just part of an ancient ritual.
A Balinese man in a state of trance, stabs his chest in front of a palanquin, the symbol of God during Ngusaba Gumang Ritual, in Karangasem, Bali, Indonesia, Oct. 6, 2014.
The Ngusaba Gumang ritual is held every two years at the top of the Gumang Hill. This is the largest ritual in Karangasem district and is attended by close to 10,000 people from four villages o celebrate the anchestors of the community.

Well it's hard to believe that we've been back in school now for over a week already. The kids are settling back into routines nicely and it has been a pretty calm couple of weeks. Just thought I would share some of the activities we completed from my TPT New Years package.
Students made their cityscapes with grey paper and cut up pieces of yellow for windows. I then put a blob of sparkly paint on their sheet, and with a pointy stick they pulled out to make the fireworks. Here is what the entire bulletin board looked like:
Students also made their New Year's Resolutions on these little people and I hung them beside the bulletin board.
Hope you have lots of fun with your students in the New Year!

It looks like the menu ul isn't inside the topNavigation
it goes: header, ul, script, topNav
seems like the ul and script should be inside the topNav
The gap seems to have something to do with the differences in how the browsers handle the <p> tag. If I remove the <p> tag from the first text block the gap disappears as well.
It actually has the gap in IE8, safari, and FF. Previous versions of IE show without the gap, so the better question might be why don't earlier versions of IE have the gap which it seems show in modern browsers.

On March 23, the North Carolina General Assembly met in special session to pass House Bill 2, or what would become known as the transgender bathroom law.
The outrage was immediate, as it should have been. Transgender people are being forced to use the bathroom assigned to the gender that they no longer identify with.
If you think you don't know anyone who is transgender, you probably just don't know who was born with a penis and who was not. You've been peeing with them for a long time, I assure you.
The media went wild with news of the bathroom bill. Companies, sports events, entertainers and tourists pledged to boycott North Carolina, costing the state tens of millions of dollars. That fueled even more media attention about this awful bathroom bill.
Except it isn't a bathroom bill any more than the motorcycle bill of three years ago was about motorcycles (in case you don't recall, that "motorcycle safety" law is chock full of restrictions on women's reproductive rights).
Sure, Article One is all about hating transgender people and denying them the right to use the appropriate bathroom, and that's just wrong on every level.
But read on.
The law goes on to deny people in North Carolina the right to sue for discrimination in state courts. Instead, we're supposed to go to federal court, which is much more expensive, likely much farther away and has only one-sixth the statute of limitations (six months versus three years). Most people can't do that.
The law also takes away the power of local governments to set their own discrimination policies or minimum wage. This, of course, helps keep people in poverty so those in power can criticize them as lazy.
But the bathroom part of the law is what's making headlines and it has fired up the ultra-conservative base.
And this is exactly what the thugs in power planned.
The furor over the clearly unconstitutional bathroom part of the law has drawn attention away from the rest of the law, which is just as egregious.
The US Justice Department has informed the state that this piece of the bill is a violation of US Civil Rights Law. The state can fight that, and if it does, here's what "leaders" are hoping for:
With a Republican candidate the base isn't willing to support, the NC GOP puts the bathroom piece of the law on the November ballot. This will bring out their base, who may or may not vote for president, but will vote down-ticket for Richard Burr, Gov. McCrory, Republican candidates for Congress and these very legislators who crafted HB2.
Like Amendment One, which enshrined hatred into the state Constitution, they know this piece of the law is unconstitutional and will be overturned.
But they have what they want: Republicans elected and the rest of the law intact.
Even if they don't fight the Justice Department decision, the NC GOP has most of what it wants because law has a clause that states if part of it is overturned or repealed, the rest survives.
And there you have it. HB2 is a naked power grab, fueled by hate and written by thugs.
Meanwhile, suicide hotlines are reporting an increase in the number of calls from transgender people. People are being dragged out of bathrooms because they're not masculine or feminine enough to satisfy some bigot. Men are going into the women's bathrooms at Target to check on people and "protect" women.
The worst part is that a majority of people who voted for this law are running unopposed for their seats this fall.
In other words, we're likely to see a return of the thugs to power because no one wanted to get involved and run against them. We have the government we deserve.
