One Day in 10 days
I was about write, "Why didn't they premiere this in London", and then I realised that would be a really bad idea right now. As a brief break from London burning though, have a look at this photo of Ealing and the #riotcleanup.
Last night over in New York, Anne Hathaway's really small waist showed up in an Alexander McQueen dress alongside Jim Sturgess for the premiere of One Day. God I love him. And I know I will love him as Dex. Complicated, selfish, tragic dickhead Dex. Have you seen the 5 clips? They've released 5 clips from the movie and Collider combined them all into one player, yay! He is Dex in all 5. It's very encouraging. As for Anne...
I hear you on her accent. But there's something she does with her legs in the first scene in the compilation below, how she shuffles them awkwardly when they first meet, right at the beginning, that is so very Emma it gives me a little hope. Also when they're in the water and she, for a second, the look on her face, she believes him...
Anne is very good at that look. And while most of her in these clips is certainly weak, it's that look that keeps me optimistic. But I know I cut Anne a lot more slack than some are inclined to. It's just... I can't fully start sh-tting on it at least until I've seen it. If I start sh-tting on it before I've seen it, I might not be able to climb back out.
One Day opens next Friday up against Conan, Fright Night, and Spy Kids. I mean, I *think* it should do ok, right? For the people who don't have kids, who don't give a sh-t about grunting giants and teens fighting camp vamps....? Or is there even an audience for that anymore?

Two and a half years ago, I opened Foraging Foodies with the intention to explore the Carolinas and share my eating discoveries. With that in mind, I dined my way through the South, meeting some really incredible people along the way who put out some really incredible dishes, and in general learned more about food then I ever imagined I would.
And I wrote. And wrote. And wrote, about everything I could find and share about. It was an invigorating experience finding a new gem and sharing it with the public, a feeling which I still can't fully describe. And you all responded, with more warmth and generosity then I could have ever imagined, for which I am eternally grateful.
Two years later though, with all the knowledge and experience I accrued, Foraging Foodies suddenly didn't feel like the direction I wanted to be. I've grown so passionate about everything local, from farm to table, in the hands of locals working for the love of their community and their craft, so much so that the idea of criticizing the hardworking locals who have put so much effort into adding to their community became too awful to think of. I've also learned so much about the culture of food and began understanding the many different ways food acts as an expression of self, and have made so many new friendships through that. Talking about restaurants wasn't enough for me anymore, not when there is so much more to say. Filled with new questions and ideas, I finally decided that I needed to move on to new adventures to keep growing and understanding everything I've come to learn in my short time as a foodie. So with great sadness, I have decided to shutdown Foraging Foodies, to pursue those desires.
Before we depart from foraging foodies, however, I wanted to list some gems that never got the opportunity to make the blog, because there are many out there, more than I could ever list in just a single post. I wish I had the time to go and do these fine eateries the justice they deserve, but I will instead leave it in your hands to go and check these recommendations out, and perhaps you can give the community your own words of wisdom.
The Unmentioned, for Columbia, SC:
Cellar on Greene - One of the best romantic deals in Columbia with their $19 three course meal, of which is so substantial and delicious, it is a shock to behold.
Sunming - The best Chinese food in Columbia, and the most authentic. Bring friends and share a family meal off the Chinese menu. Yes, those exist.
Crust - Amazing, amazing foccacia, and really good bread. Come early, they sell out fast.
No Name Deli - Cash only, just flat out good local fast food. Be prepared when you walk in, it's like the soup nazi in there.
Chocolate Nirvana Bakery - Tucked away in the historic houses of Columbia is perhaps one of the most decadent, moist chocolate flourless cupcakes you've ever had in your life. Really cute location too.
Lady Antoinette's - If you haven't heard of their beignets, you are missing out.
Motor Supply Bistro - How have I not talked about this place? It's amazing, just go. Possibly best brunch in the city.
Camon Sushi Bar - Stashed away on the side of Assembly St. where surely no one looks is one of the coolest places you can go for a quiet, not really authentic but still just really solid piece of sushi.
Bombay Grill - In my experience, the current champion of Indian food in the city. Prices are unusually affordable for Indian, and just flat out good. It is without a doubt better than Spice Junction in my book, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Terra - Well-deserving of all the praise it receives as one of the city's finest, and no where near as wallet breaking as you may think with their weekly specials.
Original Pancake House - It is a chain, but I really don't care, because it's mighty fine diner food, packed with bacon.
Just Us Cafe - Even more diner-ish than Original Pancake, but with even bigger portions.
Golden Chopstix - Just a terrible name and location in general, but the massuman curry here will blow your mind.
The Others:
McCabes BBQ, Manning, SC - The absolute best sweet potatoes I've ever had, and just a great buffet in general in that classic South Carolina way.
Autobanh Food Truck, Charleston, SC - Fried chicken banh mi with pickled okra and sriracha-honey drizzle. You are welcome.
Glazed Gourmet, Charleston, SC - The greatest donuts you will ever have in your life.
Voodoo, West Ashley (Charleston), SC - Truffle fried tater tots and bacon s'mores and it's a tiki bar and really do I need to say more?
Parker's, Wilson, NC - East Carolina bbq in the most delicious way. Amazing fried chicken, great sides, and ridiculously awesome prices. Just ten minutes off I-95, well-worth a stop.
And that's it. Again, I want to take everyone for their support and just taking the time to read any and all of what I've wrote here at Foraging Foodies. It's been a real honor, and I hope to see you all in my future foodie endeavors. Until then, keep on foraging folks, the world's waiting for you.

I think it is a little smaller than the norm, hence the mini Blade is 1095 at right around 59-60 rc. It is 146mm long on edge, 56.2mm tall at the heel, 59.5mm tall at the tip. It averages 5.3mm thick, with very little variation. Handle is stabilized redwood burl, african blackwood ferrule and buttcap with musk ox spacers. Handle is 119mm long, and is roughly 27.6mm tall and 24.2mm thick. As the handle is rounded, there is not an easy way to get accurate measurements lol. Overall weight is 355 grams. I rounded the choil area since these pics were taken, so it is shiny also. Price is $450 shipped conus, international to pay actual.

Dec 11 (Reuters) - Patent licensing company Wi-Lan Inc said it has filed a lawsuit against BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd for infringing a patent that relates to Bluetooth technology.
Ottawa-based Wi-Lan said it filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the BlackBerry maker.
Wi-Lan, which has licensed its intellectual property to more than 255 companies worldwide, alleged that RIM infringed its U.S. Patent No. 6,260,168 related to Bluetooth technologies.
Wi-Lan has launched a string of patent lawsuits, including one last week against Apple Inc, HTC Corp and Sierra Wireless Inc's U.S. unit over LTE mobile technology.
In its filing, Wi-Lan alleges that RIM's PlayBook tablet and a wide range of its smartphones, including the Bold, Torch, Pearl and Storm, utilize technology that infringes on its patent.
"RIM will vigorously defend itself against patent infringement," a spokeswoman for RIM said.
Wi-Lan is seeking an unspecified amount in damages and preliminary and permanent injunctions to block RIM from infringing its patent.
Wi-Lan also said on Tuesday that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) affirmed a lower court's dismissal of a patent infringement lawsuit in March against LG Electronics Inc.
The company accused LG of infringing a patent for V-chip technology, which lets parents block television content they consider inappropriate.
"Wi-Lan is surprised and disappointed by this decision. Wi-Lan is reviewing its options with counsel," the company said.
Shares of Wi-Lan were down 6 percent at C$4.53 in late-afternoon trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

There is two new characters or figures that has been added to the Monster High student collection, and today I am going to show you how to draw both of them. First lets start with Clawdeen Wolf's older brother Clawd Wolf. He is a cool, laid back, down to earth individual that likes to keep things as real as possible. There is no lying with Clawd because he is a werewolf that doesn't believe in telling lies to get by. Other than being popular and good looking, Clawd is also on the track team and one of his ex-girlfriends is Cleo de Nile. Obviously Deuce is her new man nowadays, but that just shows you how popular Wolf is. This lesson will teach you "how to draw Clawd Wolf", step by step. He isn't going to be that difficult to recreate, but even so, there is a total of eight steps to get through before completion. If you want you can draw his little sister standing by his side too. I will be back in a jiff so stay tuned in.

As featured on Sloto Store
Time travel has been a fascination of the 20th century. Before this century, few people considered the possibility of traveling through time. Early societies sometimes pictured dream scenarios where they returned to a Golden Age, but it was only in recent times that humanity gave this idea some real thought.
It all started with a small book titled 'The Time Machine' by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. Since then the imagination of many has been inseminated with the fascination and contradictions of traveling through time. Popular culture has portrayed time travel in classic films such as: Back to the Future, Interstellar, and Terminator.
It is a fascinating subject, but is time travel even possible?
According to modern science, it is theoretically possible. Thanks to Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, we discovered that fast moving objects experience time slower – something known as Time Dilatation. So passanger flying in a spacecraft close to the speed of light would experience a trip as lasting only 24 hours, while for people on earth several years have elapsed before the spaceship returns!
Another theoretical possibility is to create wormhole through the fabric space-time. This is another idea derived from the work of Albert Einstein. Since all of space and time are connected in what is known as space-time, traveling through a wormhole would mean one could end up either in the past or the future in a complete different galaxy!
Do you get excited thinking about time travel? Why not try our new game Cubee (opposite page) whose main theme is traveling through different eras in history!
Next Generation Casino Game
A closer look at Cubee
Technology is moving in grand strides and each year we see grand breakthroughs in smartphones, laptops and other gadgets. But these are not the only advances in technology. Online casino games are also evolving and a clear example is the release of a new casino slot machine called: Cubee!
Cubee is unlike any other casino slot machine – in fact, it's hard to call it a casino slot machine! It has NO reels and it plays more like a computer game rather than a traditional casino slot. It breaks away from what most online casino slot machines do. It's time to think outside the box, or should we say, cube!
The protagonist is a fuzzy and adorable creature named Cubee. The goal of the game is to defeat enemies while traveling through 3 different ages: The Stone Age, The Era of Piracy, The Viking Age and finally culminating in CubeeLand – where Casino Free Online Casino Games with multipliers are played!
The new excellent Cubee has these features:
Energy Ball: This symbol increases Cubee's strength, allowing him to defeat more powerful enemies and you earn higher jackpot prize payouts.
Rocco: Cubee's main enemy. He stands opposite Cubee in each epoch. When a weapon appears in a game round, it will strike Rocco to lower his stamina. Once defeated, Cubee travels to the next epoch.
Era of Piracy: For each cannon symbol appearing in this round, the Casino Free Online Casino Games tally number will go up by a point.
The Viking Age: For each bow symbol appearing in this round, the multiplier number will go up by a point.
Cubeeland: Payback time! Play your accumulated Casino Free Online Casino Games with the accrued multiplier!
Play Cubee with a 150% Match + 50 Free Spins on top!
Casino Bonus Code: CUBEE150
Promo demands a $25 min. deposit and it holds 30x roll over and no max cashout. Redeem 1x weekly.

Gallup poll shows record low confidence in many American institutions
The clouds looming over Denver this morning provide an appropriate setting for gloomy new poll results: Americans' confidence in public schools, the church and organized religion, banks and television news are all at record lows.
The morning buzz kill comes to us from Gallup.
"Since 2008, several other institutions have registered record-low confidence ratings, including Congress, the Supreme Court, HMOs, big business, and organized labor. That means more than half of the institutions Gallup measures annually have hit bottom at some point in the last five years," the pollster wrote. "Thus, the declining confidence seems to be part of a broader pattern, rather than a product of isolated issues facing individual institutions."
Can I get a Bronx cheer!?

Nordic racing | Local Far West products named to World Cup teams
Special to the Sun
In its history, Far West Nordic has produced many skiers who have gone on to success on the college and national stages. However, one aspect that has eluded skiers from California and Nevada has been on the international front, at the very highest level of skiing.
Although some Juniors have been successful enough to race internationally, for example at the World Juniors Competition and in the junior Scandinavian Cup, Far West has produced only one skier in memory (John Downing in 1999) who has been able to race on the World Cup circuit.
For the first time in over 20 years, that situation has been rectified – in triplicate.
Named to the World Cup racing teams for the upcoming FIS events in Canada (Quebec and Canmore) are former Far West Nordic skiers Matthew Gelso and Chelsea Holmes (racing for the United States from the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation) and Russell Kennedy (racing for Canada from the Alberta World Cup Academy).
Gelso and Kennedy are both graduates of Truckee High School (Classes of 2006 and 2009, respectively), and were both top Juniors racing for Auburn Ski Club, with many top placings at the Cross Country Ski Junior National Championships (Junior Olympics).
Gelso went on to race successfully at the University of Colorado (including an NCAA National Championship in 2010), and is now associated with the Sun Valley Foundation Gold Team. Kennedy took an alternate route, choosing to use his dual citizenship and has been training in Canmore for the Alberta World Cup team.
Holmes, although a native of Girdwood, Alaska, came to Far West via the University of Nevada Nordic Ski Team, where she impressive results on the NCAA circuit during her four winters there. After skiing for the Far West Nordic Farm Team and Sugar Bowl Academy for two seasons, Holmes has gone on to ski for two years with the Sun Valley Gold Team and has achieved national success in numerous races.
The Canadian World Cup races will be held this weekend, Dec. 7 and 8, in downtown Quebec, and in Canmore, Alberta, on Dec. 13, 15 and 16.

Obama's Trip to Latin America
As Ted Carpenter notes below, President Obama is departing on an important trip to Latin America. The countries that he will visit exemplify the macroeconomic stability and advancement of democratic institutions now found in much of the region.
Brazil, by far the largest Latin American economy, has enjoyed almost a decade of sound growth and poverty reduction. Chile is the most developed country in the region thanks to decades of economic liberalization, a process that has also made it Latin America's most mature democracy. And El Salvador is undergoing a delicate period in its transition to becoming a full‐fledged democracy with its first left‐of‐center president since the end of the civil war in 1992.
In an era when most Latin American nations are moving in the right direction — albeit at different speeds, with some setbacks, and with notable exceptions — the United States can serve as a catalyst of change by contributing to more economic integration and the consolidation of the rule of law in the region.
Unfortunately, despite President Obama's assurances that he's interested in strengthening economic ties with Latin America, his administration is still delaying the ratification of two important free trade agreements with Colombia and Panama. President Obama also continues to support a failed war on drugs that significantly exacerbates violence and institutional frailty in the region, particularly in Mexico and Central America.
It's good that President Obama's trip will highlight significant progress in Latin America, but his administration's policy actions still don't match the U.S. goals of encouraging economic growth and sound institutional development in the region.

Grains started out sharply lower along with the stock market but were able come off their lows after the stock market turned higher from news that the ECB would be bailing out Italian and Spanish debt.
Grains have obviously been largely affected by outside markets in the last couple of trading sessions, but even with the weakness, corn has managed to hold support quite well. The market is still obviously concerned about corn supply and was able to stage a corn rally to positive territory late in the day. As long as lower yield forecasts continue to come in, it looks like we are going to keep this market supported and potentially even take out the highs again. December corn's resistance still stands at the contract high of $7.22 ¾.
Next week will be a big week for grains. We will have crop conditions reported on Monday afternoon, and the August Supply and Demand report released on Thursday the 11th. The S & D report should give the market more direction as everyone is wondering what the USDA will do with acres if they make any changes. We should have the average analyst estimates on Monday and I will have them in the afternoon grain letter.
We want to remain in sustainable positions, and stay well hedged at these levels. I wouldn't rule out further weakness from this latest economic setback, we had the same thing happen in 2008. Please call your broker if you need additional coverage or want to go over your current position. We have option strategies available that can cover a larger amount of bushels with a minimum bushel level of upside margin exposure.
Have a great weekend!

A recent The New York Times article may have some in the camp industry wondering where the 15-passenger van issue is headed. In late-August The New York Times reported that a number of insurers have or are now making plans to eliminate coverage for these vehicles, which are used by many camps and related programs.
As previously reported in CampLine, on April 15 of this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reissued a cautionary warning to users of 15-passenger vans. The agency warned of an increased rollover risk under certain conditions. A similar warning was issued in 2001, when the NHTSA warned that 15-passenger vans with 10 or more occupants are three times as likely to roll over in crashes than 15-passenger vans that are lightly loaded. Despite the agency's efforts last year to warn about the vehicles' handling characteristics, accidents involving the vehicles have continued.
On August 24, The New York Times reported that officials from the NHTSA have concluded that the vans, which are also commonly used by camps, are not inherently dangerous. Many of the problems, the article reports, are attributable to ". . . inexperienced drivers piloting fully loaded vehicles." Yet the article goes on to report that the Colorado School District's Self-Insurance Pool, one of the largest insurers of public schools in that state, stopped issuing new coverage for the vans in July, and on top of the average premium cost of $750 per vehicle, it has begun imposing a $500 surcharge for customers with up to ten 15-passenger vans in their fleet.
The New York Times also reported that GuideOne, a leading insurer of churches and their vehicles, announced in mid-August that it had stopped selling new policies for 15-passenger vans, but would continue coverage on the 10,000 vans it already insures by raising rates 20 – 25 percent. Two other large church insurers, according The New York Times, Church Mutual and Brotherhood Mutual, have issued safety advisories.
"The 15-passenger van is the church vehicle of choice," Church Mutual's Richard Schaber told The New York Times. "So we need to insure them," Schaber went on to say.
In Tennessee, the Department of Human Services, which oversees day care centers that use hundreds of the vans to transport small children, is imposing new requirements for drivers and by 2005 will ban the use of the vehicles, The New York Times reported.
Fatal rollovers, according to The New York Times article, have continued — most recently in late June, when a Ford Econoline van carrying firefighters in Colorado crashed, killing five passengers. Between 1990 and 2000, 15-passenger vans were involved in 388 rollovers, killing 558 people, government records show.
The American Camping Association continues to strongly encourage its members to require adequate training for drivers of 15-passenger vans, limit the amount of weight placed on the vehicle, and as always, require seat belts to ensure occupant safety.
Originally published in the 2002 Fall issue of The CampLine.

If you've got a lot of data that you rarely touch, Amazon wants to put it on ice. Amazon Glacier is a new ultra-cheap cloud storage offering from Amazon Web Services that's designed for companies—or data-hoarding individuals—who have a lot to stow away for the long haul.
The advantages of Glacier are prices as low as $0.01 per gigabyte per month and no more dealing with tapes or hard drives. The drawback is, ahem, glacial transfer speeds. According to the company, "Amazon Glacier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and for which retrieval times of several hours are suitable." So we're talking about financial documents that need to be archived and not all the ripped movies you'd like to be able to access at the drop of a hat. Between this and Facebook's arctic server farm it looks like companies are banking hard on our trust in penguins. [Amazon Web Services via TechCrunch]

Keira's getting married
Here's Keira Knightley meeting fiancé James Righton at the airport in Paris earlier this week. I've seen it before. You've seen it before. That's pre-wedding affection, non? They're reportedly getting married this weekend. In Nice, apparently. Like at Brange's chateau?!?
Probably not. Or maybe? Can you imagine if Miraval was available for rentals and special occasions?
Keira's ma was with her when she picked up James from the airport, supporting the speculation that the event is indeed happening soon and that she's been there with her family for a while getting everything together. Word is, and not surprisingly, Karl Lagerfeld designed the gown. As you know, Keira is the face of Chanel and stars as Coco Chanel in a short film directed by Karl that will be presented at the Chanel Cruise collection event next week. I've attached a trailer below. According to Fashionista.com Karl, the director, is hilariously spontaneous. The dialogue was only distributed to the actors minutes before shooting the scenes. And, um, the facts are not important as long as everything looks great. Everything does indeed look great, doesn't it?

240,000 Pakistani children miss anti-polio drive
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Some 240,000 children have missed U.N.-backed vaccinations against polio because of security concerns in Pakistan's tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, a top official with the World Health Organization said Friday.
Dr. Nima Saeed Abid, the acting WHO chief in Pakistan, said health workers have not been able to immunize children in the North and South Waziristan regions — Taliban strongholds — since July 2012.
Pakistan is one of the few remaining countries, along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, where polio is rampant. As many as 58 cases were reported in Pakistan in 2012, down from 198 in 2011.
She said polio transmission is now concentrated in core endemic areas — central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the Federally Administered Tribal Regions or FATA, parts of Karachi, Quetta and nearby Killa Abdullah and Pishin districts in south western Baluchistan province.
Abid said that 15 health workers have been killed in the anti-polio campaign in Pakistan since July 2012. Pakistani militant groups oppose the vaccinations and accuse the workers of spying for Washington.

Blue carbon ecosystems, particularly mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses are significant for their ability to help mitigate global climate change. Unfortunately these ecosystems are being destroyed at alarming rates, and thus releasing carbon into the atmosphere.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Conservational International (CI), and the Intergovernmental Oceanic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO convened for the third time a workshop with international experts to discuss policy opportunities, activities and milestones for strategically advancing and implementing blue carbon under international and regional climate, ocean and coastal policy frameworks.
This workshop was held from 10-12 July 2012 in Guayaquil, Ecuador and brought together approximately 40 experts on climate change and coastal policy issues. Participants included experts from Europe, Indonesia, Ghana, the United States, Brazil, Columbia, Peru, and Mexico, and of course Ecuador.
Free de Koning, technical manager at Conservation International Ecuador, underlined the strong presence of the Government of Ecuador: "It was good to see such an active participation of the Ministry of Environment – who presented their climate change related policies and programs - and the recently created Secretary of the Sea".
The workshop heard various introductory presentations from national and NGO representatives. The workshop then discussed and reviewed policy developments and needs concerning Blue Carbon ecosystems, with a focus on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
"We have to develop Blue Carbon policies on all fronts, not only through the UNFCCC, but also through national level activities. It will be important that these efforts will be guided and informed by on-the-ground conservation and restoration projects" says Dorothée Herr, Marine Programme Officer at the IUCN Global Marine and Polar Programme. Thus, a third component of the workshop concentrated on Blue Carbon project activities and developed recommendations for field-level Blue Carbon projects.
This effort is part of the Blue Carbon Initiative, a consortium led by IUCN, CI, and UNESCO-IOC, working with partners from national governments, research institutions, NGOs, coastal communities, intergovernmental and international bodies and other relevant stakeholders.
This work has been made possible through the generous support of the Linden Trust for Conservation.

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year! In Greece we traditionally have the Vassilopitta cake at New Year. A coin or special good luck charm called the floori is placed in it and whoever gets the slice with this in it supposedly has good luck all the year. Slices are not only cut for the people there, but also for the House, God, Christ and whoever else you wish. Obviously if God or Christ's slice has the coin or charm, it doesn't mean that they're going to have good luck (!) but that you will feel their influence all year.
There are a few different ways of making Vasilopitta, and this is just one of them - which we like!
900g self-raising white flour
9 eggs – yolks and whites separated
240g butter at room temperature
Juice from 7 medium oranges
750g sugar
Grated rind from one orange
120ml brandy
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons ground almonds
0.6g vanilla powder
100g icing sugar
Beat the sugar and butter in the mixer for 10 minutes.
Add the egg yolks one at a time and continue beating for another 10 minutes.
Add the juice, brandy, vanilla powder and rind gradually and continue beating.
Spread the baking powder to the flour through a sieve.
Add the ground almonds and then add the flour mixture to the other mixture, stirring gently with a spatula.
Beat the egg whites into a meringue, add to the mixture and combine them gently with a spatula.
Grease a round baking dish – 34cm diameter, 5cm height – and sprinkle some flour in it.
Place the mixture in the dish and bake in a pre-heated moderate oven for 75 minutes – or until a skewer placed in the centre of the cake comes out cleanly.
Insert a coin or small good luck charm wrapped in tin foil anywhere in the underside of the cake and transfer to a seasonal cake plate.
Place a stencil with the year (2009) on top of the centre of the cake and sprinkle well with icing sugar through a sieve.
Remove the stencil so that the year is showing clearly (see photo).
If you've tried this recipe please rate it!

Happy New Year!

The purity of essential oils is vital to not only their effectiveness, but their safety as well. Essential oils are rich in molecules that help carry oxygen, nutrients, and other substances through the cell membranes. Combine essential oils with impure or toxic substances, and they will take those poisons right into every cell of your body.
Not only that, but unsuspecting consumers may apply oils only to find that the supposedly pure essential oil irritates because it contains added chemicals and components that are irritating to the skin.
Instead of experiencing the benefits of wholesome essential oils from Young Living, consumers may instead be poisoning themselves unknowingly, or decide that essential oils don't work because they tried using inferior essential oils.
Red Flags that Your Essential Oils May be Tainted
- Bargain prices - $9.00 for 1/2 oz. of "pure, organic" lavender oil, $25.00 for "pure" frankincense.
- Consider making sure that your oils are pure and undiluted. (Learn More)

Maybe we've taken it for granted, but most of us have considered our schools to be safe havens where our kids can learn, find new friends, and enjoy recess. We drop them off each school day, fully expecting to pick them up after school. But thoughts of the Sandy Hook Elementary School murders nag at us, prompting this week's Bank of Sheridan/Sheridan Media poll question.
"Should all public schools be staffed with armed police officers?"
What do you think?
To cast your vote, log on to sheridanmedia.com, click on the poll question banner on the home page and feel free to leave appropriate comments .

Rockies will hold tribute for Jerry McMorris prior to Diamondbacks game
The Rockies will honor late owner Jerry McMorris before tonight's game at Coors Field. McMorris passed away last week after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. His service was held Monday in Denver with Todd Helton and head athletic trainer Keith Dugger among Rockies who flew back from the road trip to attend.
Twenty minutes before first pitch tonight, the Rockies will hold a video tribute to McMorris with players and Rockies' officials lined up along the base lines. There will also be a moment of silence.
"He was a good man," Helton said. "He was more than the owner to me. He was a friend."

Joint Pain
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 9, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Joint Pain
Joint pain is a major issue for a lot of people, especially for those who are over their prime years, which is all normal and natural. However, for those less fortunate who experience occasional or even constant chronic pain in their joints, there are things that should be considered in order to protect, reduce or even prevent joint pain from happening.
Causes of Joint Pain
So how do you protect joints from experiencing pain or relieve joint pain when it happens? If you are the type of individual that is very active and likes to engage in strenuous activities such as biking, swimming, and running, to name a few, you should take time to do warm-ups first in order to properly prepare your muscles and joints from the strenuous activities ahead. As strong, loose, and flexible muscles that surround your joints will help take and bear the stress of the strenuous workout off of your joints.
Treatment Options
It is highly recommended to build up strong core muscles to properly protect joints in order to prevent joint pain. Strong and flexible muscle groups in your back, buttocks, and stomach or abdomen will appropriately take the stress off your joints by absorbing the shock or impact that would usually be absorbed by the joints.
If sometimes or even most of the time you've been experiencing joint pain after a strenuous workout or any other type of physical activity for that matter, you can apply moist heat to the joint prior to your workout, as the moist heat will help loosen the joint. After you finished your workout, apply an ice pack to the joint area, as this will properly cool the joint down after use. To properly relieve and even prevent joint pain, you should make a good investment on your workout gears such as a good pair of rubber shoes for walking and running. As an excellent pair of rubber shoes that have good shock or impact absorbing capability are ideal in order to provide great strong arch support.
When performing your workout or doing your walking and running exercises, make certain to land on your feet lightly, as this will surely create minimal joint jarring all over your body that will definitely prevent joint pain after finishing your workout or exercise. You should practice this by doing a lot of stationary jumping while landing so lightly that both of your feet barely make a sound when hitting the ground. A good strong core muscles are required to properly achieve this, as landing lightly will not only alleviate or reduce joint pain, but also properly protect your joints in your everyday activities.
To properly relieve chronic joint pain apply moist heat on the affected area for about 10 to 20 minutes and afterwards apply an icy cool down for about 10 to 20 minutes also. As for acute joint pain, ice should only be applied on the affected area. If in case the joint pain does not go away and if there is any swelling on the affected area, it could possibly indicate a stress fracture. Going and consulting a medical professional for X-rays is highly recommended in this situation.

William McKinley
A Republican congressman from Ohio, William McKinley beat out William Jennings Bryan in 1896 to become the 25th president of the United States. McKinley called for war against Spain in 1898, partly over the sinking of the battleship Maine. The war was over in four months, with the U.S. gaining control of Guam, Puerto Rico and The Philippines. McKinley was easily re-elected, this time with a new vice president, Theodore Roosevelt. Six months after his second inauguration, McKinley was shot twice in the chest by assassin Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. McKinley died eight days later and Roosevelt became president.
William McKinley's inauguration was the first one ever filmed… McKinley had a distinguished career during the Civil War; in 1865, at the age of 22, he was breveted a major… McKinley's political career relied heavily on the financing of Ohio businessman Marcus A. Hanna… McKinley wore a pink carnation in his lapel.

Communications Data Bill creates 'a virtual giant database'
The government's Communications Data Bill will effectively create a giant database of everyone in the UK's web activities, MPs and peers have heard.
The bill would force telecoms companies to store details of internet use for a year to help combat crime.
Home Secretary Theresa May has stressed that the data will not be held on a single government database.
But security experts told the cross-party committee examining the bill it would operate in a similar way.
The communications bill was published in draft form earlier this year and is being examined in detail by a committee of MPs and peers before it begins its passage into law.
The detailed scrutiny of the bill was promised amid controversy when the measures were first floated. Some modifications to the bill may be made as a result of the joint committee's recommendations.
The previous Labour government was forced to scrap plans for a single database of telecoms records in 2009 after a public outcry and criticism from the Conservatives and Lib Dems.
The coalition has insisted it does not want go down the same route.
But its plans to beef up data retention include a "request filter", which could allow police officers, tax inspectors, the security services and other officials to trawl for information across privately-owned databases in order to build up a picture of suspects' internet browsing habits, contacts and movements.
"By using this filter mechanism it will look and feel the same as if there was a great big database behind the scenes that you could dip into to pull the particular information you want," said Dr Julian Richards, co-director of Buckingham University's centre for security and intelligence studies.
He said filter was "a slightly inaccurate word" for what was being proposed and search engine would be a "a more accurate description".
'Fishing expeditions'
But he said it "made sense" from an operational point of view for investigating officers to be able to ask the system "quite complicated questions" about people's "communications behaviours and patterns".
"It doesn't seem to make sense to make that as difficult as possible... that just reduces our intelligence capability, to the benefit of terrorists and criminals that we're going after."
But civil liberties groups giving evidence to the committee suggested the filtering system could be used to mount "fishing expeditions" rather than targeted surveillance - something the Home Office has explicitly stressed will not happen.
Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, said: "The filtering provisions are so broadly worded and so poorly drafted that it could allow mining of all the data collected, without any requirement for personal information, which is the very definition of a fishing trip."
Internet freedom campaigner Jim Killock, of the Open Rights Group, said officials would be able to build up a complex map of individuals' communications by examining records of "their mobile phone, their normal phone, their work email, their Facebook account and so on".
He said this could compromise journalistic sources, deter whistleblowers and increase the risk of personal details being hacked, as they would be held on a variety of databases with multiple access points.
The campaigners called on the committee to recommend scrapping the data communications bill, rather than making suggestions to improve it as they have been tasked to do by the government.
'Lack of trust'
Rachel Robinson, policy officer for Liberty, said: "The blanket retention of data about individuals as opposed to targeted surveillance, with which we have no problem, should not be a feature of a liberal society."
The UK is thought the be the only country in the world attempting to gather communications data in this way, although the bill is underpinned by EU directives and the methods included in it could eventually be adopted across all 27 member states, the committee was told.
Professor Anthony Glees, director of Buckingham University's centre for security and intelligence studies, said that although German Chancellor Angela Merkel had said Germany needed similar legislation it was "way behind" the UK in implementing them.
"For historical reasons, not just because of the Nazi past, but because of the Stasi past, this is a very much more difficult issue in the Federal Republic than it is in the United Kingdom, where we look back with pride on our long history of democracy."
He said concerns about the growth of a "surveillance state" and warnings about a "snooper's charter" in the UK were more to do with a "disturbing lack of trust in the institutions and people charged with looking after our security" than what was actually being proposed in the data communications bill.
"This is about lawfulness in a mature liberal democracy," he told the committee, and it made sense for law enforcement agencies to be allowed to keep pace with technological developments to combat terrorism and serious crime.
"I trust in the people we are charging to do this," he told the panel, although he stressed more "oversight" was needed in some areas.

4 Ways Gas Pumps Screw You
There's 4 main ways a gas pump can screw you over:
1. Meter Jump
You go to put gas in but before you pull the nozzle switch, there's already a dollar amount on the meter. This usually happens because some part inside is worn out. When you hit the activation switch it's supposed to recharge itself with a bit of gas, but when meter jump occurs, the meter is charging you for the gas that's charging the system.
2. Meter Creep
The nozzle clicks off because it thinks the tank is full, but the machine keeps adding pennies even though no gas is flowing.
3. Short Volume
Can happen for a number of reasons, but essentially the pump is not pumping as much gas it says it is.
4. Big Sign, Little Price, But Little Sign, Bigger Price This is when the big sign facing the road shows a lower price than is on your pump or on your receipt. With gas prices fluctuating the way they do these days, this usually happens because the gas station didn't get a chance to change the sign yet.
The reality is that consumers are not getting shafted at the pump that much, and of them, the first three we mentioned are the most common.
- Stats from the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures:
66,000 fuel devices statewide
22,000 device inspections per year
9% of inspections find actionable problems
1-2% of the inspections find pumps shorting the customers
"Meters and gas pumps wear out and parts need to be replaced, a gas pump is a pretty complicated piece of equipment," said Steve Meissner, Communications Director of the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures.
However, If you notice any discrepancy, you should bring it up with the store. If they don't fix the problem or you don't like their answer, contact your local weights and measures department. They will take complaints by phone, email or letter. They investigate every complaint and if you request it, they will let you know the exact results of their inspection.
How do you know if there's a discrepancy? One commenter Verdigris use this technique: "…fill your tank by stopping at the 10 gallon mark. If the price is ten times the amount of 1 gallon, you know you aren't getting screwed. I tend to keep my eye on the price when it gets around 10 gallons every time I fill up."

The All-New Turbo Levo
The Power to Ride More Trails
Put yourself in our shoes: You just made the most celebrated and awarded e-mountain bike in existence. Do you give yourself a high-five and go get donuts, or do you get to work on making something even better? We didn't bring home the donuts, but we did create something downright revolutionary.
The All-New Turbo Levo
The Power to Ride More Trails
Put yourself in our shoes: You just made the most celebrated and awarded e-mountain bike in existence. Do you give yourself a high-five and go get donuts, or do you get to work on making something even better? We didn't bring home the donuts, but we did create something downright revolutionary.
The all-new Turbo Levo is what happens when a group of Swiss geniuses refuse to be satisfied, are kept well fed and entertained, and are hell-bent on giving you a ride even better than you thought was possible. New chassis. New motor. New battery. Next-level software—the new Turbo Levo reflects a complete design overhaul that doesn't just set the bar for e-MTB, it embodies it. And for the record, yeah, we know that's saying a hell of a lot. The Levo, however, takes everything we learned from the latest Stumpjumper's development and puts it into a lighter, slimmer, stiffer, and incredibly capable package. We even boosted its range by a staggering 40%, and equipped it with the smoothest, quietest, and most powerful motor in its class.
It Starts at the Frame
You're looking at one of the lightest, most capable full-suspension e-mountain bikes to ever touch dirt. And much of the Turbo Levo's summer beach body is the result of what we learned while designing the latest Stumpjumper. Case in point is its new Sidearm frame design that gives it an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. We also gave it a slacker geometry, so the Turbo Levo is now lower-slung for incredibly capable handling on tough descents and even easier maneuverability in technical terrain.
A Better Ride
Taking nods from the Stumpjumper, the Turbo Levo is a fully-fledged progressive trail bike. We've lengthened the reach, kept the chainstays nice and short, and maintained a low center of gravity. Next, we slackened the head angle for more confident descents and steepened the seat angle to improve climbing efficiency. We've also added a Flip Chip, so you can adjust your bottom bracket height and head angle in a matter of minutes. It's dialed.
New Suspension
We fine-tuned the Turbo Levo's suspension design to give you even more control where you need it most. The initial travel is supple—perfect for smoothing out small bumps and trail chatter. We also added more mid-stroke support, so there's no wallowing about or blowing through your 150mm of suspension travel on big hits and drops. This extra mid-stroke support also helps when you're climbing by keeping the bike from sinking into its rear travel when the trail points up and your weight shifts back.
Truly Innovative Power
The Turbo Levo's ultralight, magnesium-bodied Specialized 2.1 motor amplifies your input by up to 410% with absolutely no awkward surges in power. No lurch. No "I really hope this thing will stop" motor jumps. Our engineers in Switzerland devoted years, literally, to making this a reality by creating custom software that drives the most cutting-edge motor in its class. And it's all exclusive to the Turbo Levo—a motor that provides an incredibly smooth and natural boost to your own pedaling efforts. It's You, Only Faster.
A Cutting-Edge Battery
What do you call an e-MTB with no battery charge left? Unacceptable. That's why we've increased battery capacity by 40%, courtesy of the most advanced lithium-ion technology out there. The Turbo Levo now gets more distance out of every full charge, so you'll never have to worry about getting caught on the trail without enough juice to get you home. The Smart Control feature, available with our Mission Control App, lets you set the Turbo Levo's power assist to last for either the duration of your ride or until you reach a point you've defined yourself. Wondering how much battery you have left? The battery status is always on view with both the new Turbo Connect Unit and the optional handlebar-mounted Turbo Connect Display.
This Turbo is, quite possibly, the smartest and best-connected e-MTB to date. There, we said it. In the center of the top tube, you'll find our Turbo Connect Unit that connects the bike, via ANT+ and Bluetooth®, to both the outside and the Turbo Connect Handlebar Display (available aftermarket). Speaking of which, the latest version of the Mission Control App now has more features and is simpler to use than ever before. It lets you easily custom-tune nearly every aspect of the bike, monitor your power use, control your range, perform basic system diagnoses, record and upload rides—there's even a new Shuttle Mode feature that takes the sting out of long climbs by giving you maximum motor support with less required effort at the pedals. It's perfect for the days where you want to ditch the lift and get up on your own. Seriously, the new Mission Control puts the whole Turbo Levo experience over the top, and you'll only get it here.

A Barcelona Chair is the finest sculptural element you can add to your home or business. This iconic piece is also called an Exposition chair by providers as Knoll owns the trademark name. You can purchase the official version of this historic piece from Knoll for $5,068.00 – $6,818.00. Or you can consider a non-branded version from Gibraltar Furniture for only $995.00
The nobility of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich's famous Barcelona chair carries its cultural reverence to any environment in which it is placed. In the world of interior design, the Barcelona Chair epitomizes functional modern art. In the world of architecture, the Barcelona Chair is a masterpiece made by the master of the modern architectural movement. The form and function of the design elements in the Barcelona Chair require quality material and craftsmanship to convey the genuine spirit, nobility, and cultural significance of this elite furnishing. Shoddy workmanship nullifies the Barcelona's intellectual and cultural impact, and speaks poorly to its surroundings. Only the finest replicas that exude the purism of the Barcelona chair should be displayed.
When buying your Barcelona Chair, it is imperative that the following ten design and material elements of the Barcelona Chair are carefully examined before purchasing:
1) The smooth stainless steel frame should be flawless. Mies intentionally redesigned his 1929 design in 1950 with the advent of stainless steel to use one smooth piece of stainless steel. This is critical to maintain the integrity of the Barcelona Chair's modular design. There should be no braces at the welding joints and no seams.
2) The stainless steel is recommended to be "austenitic chromium-nickel alloys" of series 301, 302, 303, 304, 309, 316, or 321 for Barcelona Chairs. 304 and 316 are the most common grades. For Barcelona Chairs, the 400, 500, and 600 series of stainless steel are not true to the original, partially due to the "over-durability," however higher grades of steel are often used in replicas. The stainless steel from the 200 Series of "austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese alloys" is ideal for chroming and technical specifications of the Barcelona Chair, but it is not ideal in high humidities. The Barcelona Chair may also come in Chrome, but the stainless steel has a higher resistency to corrosion.
3) The polish of the stainless steel is one of the distinctive elements of the Barcelona chair. The stainless steel finish should only by No. 7, a reflective finish, or No. 8, a mirror finish.
4) The upholstery should be cowhide, a high quality Italian leather is a good choice. The Knoll patented version of the Barcelona Chair uses an untreated top grain bovine leather, however the porousness gives it the unfortunate ability to stain easily. (More precisely, Knoll's patented Barcelona Chair uses "1.1 mm thick, grain corrected Spinneybeck Volo leather.") Full grain leather will age well, and top grain is the most durable on the market today. Your choice should be based on quality and the environment in which the chair is used. The untreated full grain leather may not be a practical choice in a business lobby or a home where there is much entertaining.
5) The foam density may vary per country, but should be between 30 and 36 kgs per cubic meter for the Barcelona feel. Of course, personal comfort is the most important consideration. Ideally, this should be resilient urethane foam with a Dacron polyester fiberfill. Attention should be paid to fire safety certification requirements for your area.
6) There should be 17 straps of bovine leather, approximately 7oz to 8oz in weight, dyed the same color as the upholstery. The straps should be secured to the steel frame with 34 screws, which can be aluminum or stainless steel. (The patented Knoll version has used both in the past.) The screws (and rivets if used) should be out of view. (Being able to see the screws and rivets is a poor replica.)
7) The Barcelona Chair has forty tufted panels. Hand-tufted is preferred.
8) The leather-covered buttons should be hollow metal, with a top and bottom.
9) Rope should be used for piping, but hemp and cotton are acceptable. Plastic piping does not bespeak high quality.
10) The cushions should not be oversized or overlapping the frame. After all, Mies is the father of the cliché "less is more." The cushion should meld seamlessly with the curve of the frame. A true Barcelona Style Chair will not have seams on the outside corners.
On the Gibraltar Furniture edition each square of leather is hand selected, piped, tufted and individually sewn by expert leather craftsmen. The cushion is suspended upon a network of leather saddle straps fixed to a solid oak frame. Polished stainless steel legs add to the timeless modern design. A bolster pillow stretches across the width of the daybed and is secured in place by straps. Truly, a wonderful place to rest and relax.
