I meant to have this up weeks ago. Oops.
While I might have had a negative reaction to the previous two books in the series, I did find the story picked up in The Titan's Curse and The Battle of the Labyrinth. My previous issues still remain, but the story was compelling enough to continue reading.
The Titan's Curse (Book Three)
When Percy Jackson receives an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies at his side: his trusty bronze sword, Riptide, and… a ride from his mom.
The demigods race to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up a devious trap, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.
Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge yet—the chilling prophecy of the Titan's curse. (Blurb)
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The titan's curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent's hand.
What's Good About The Titan's Curse
- Riordan introduces several captivating new characters: demigod siblings Bianca and Nico di Angelo; and Artemis and her Hunters, led by Zoe Nightshade. He also includes the newly revived Thalia, daughter of Zeus, who butts heads with Percy on multiple occasions.
- This story has an intense level of girl power compared to the previous two books: Artemis is one tough goddess who willingly takes on Atlas' burden of holding up the sky to save Annabeth. With Zoe Nightshade, Thalia, and Bianca, Percy isn't so much the leader of the group.
- Artemis' Hunters have renounced men and romance to follow their goddess, and Percy is forced to confront his feelings about this force of feminism when he discovers that his friend Annabeth is considering joining the Hunters. (Spoiler: she doesn't.) Although Percy never quite says he wants Annabeth to choose him over Artemis, his feelings for her are obvious. I enjoyed how Riordan handled this issue. He did not put down the girls for their decisions, yet he did not completely condone them.
- Nico di Angelo is fascinating.
- Rachel Elizabeth Dare is slightly annoying and terribly intriguing.
What's Bad About The Titan's Curse
- The Pegasus Blackjack. Terribly annoying character. I was so disappointed.
I personally think that The Titan's Curse is a turning point in the saga of Percy Jackson, both in terms of the plot and in the writing. While Riordan still manages annoy me (seriously, what is with all these very Bro-like characters that randomly pop up?), there is a level of maturity that is reached in his writing which leads me to believe that if I were to read a book written by him for adults, I would enjoy it.
Except he'd probably include a frat boy just to piss me off.
The Battle of the Labyrinth (Book Four)
Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.
In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth—a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn. (Blurb)
You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze,
The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise,
You shall raise or fall by the ghost king's hand,
The child of Athena's final stand,
Destroy with a hero's final breath,
And lose a love to worse than death.
What's Good About The Battle of the Labyrinth
- Nico di Angelo
- Rachel Elizabeth Dare
- Annabeth kisses Percy (ooh la la!)
- Calypso – even though that chapter was a rather random interlude (and slightly creepy in a robbing-the-cradle sort of way), I thought it was a very beautiful example of the rule of the gods.
What's Bad About The Battle of the Labyrinth
- Luke and Kronos – I've seen this before in Harry Potter. I don't know—maybe Rowling ripped off the Greeks. (I mean, she did with other characters and plots.) I do think Riordan makes Luke and Kronos' special, uh, bond, far more terrifying than that of Professor Quirrell and Voldemort, but still.
With the rise of Kronos at the end of the novel, I found The Battle of the Labyrinth to be a very entertaining and powerful adventure in the tale of Percy Jackson. Riordan is able to write some very endearing and intelligent characters that I find even more interesting than the heroes of his series: Rachel Elizabeth Dare and Nico di Angelo, to be precise. I like that Riordan doesn't just supply Percy with secondary characters to make him look good—characters like Rachel and Nico have their own lives and stories. I can honestly believe that in the universe of Percy Jackson they are the heroes of their own stories who just happen to interact with Percy as opposed to the bland friend-or-foe characters that often appear in stories that follow the monomyth.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Part I covered The Lightning Thief (Book 1) and The Sea of Monsters (Book 2).
Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Part III will look at The Last Olympian (Book 5) as well as the major themes presented in the series.

View from standing on Imperial Highway in Anaheim, California, looking over the Santa Ana River into the gorgeous sunset right before a winder storm "Stormy Sunset over Santa Ana River". You can only see this much water in the river in the winter. In summer it is nearly dry--just a tiny creek. Except this year it is just a tiny creek even in the winter... no rain...

American Airlines Concierge Key Program Wikipedia
American Airlines' Concierge Key Program - American Airlines. I just saw "Up in the Air", which sort of highlights this program and provides a lot of good brand imaging for AA.
Is it true there are only 7 people in the program? Is it true that it takes 1. Are those butt in seat miles, or could I rack up 1. M in points from credit card, hotels, etc.? There are thousands of CK members, and it doesn't take 1.
That part is all fiction. As FA Mikey pointed out, CK is bestowed on big spenders and those who have the ability to steer big money to AA. Three or four years ago, AA formalized its "VIP" program with the precursor to CK and called it "VIP Connection." About 7,2.
. as well as hotel-program comparisons. Airline and Hotel Invitation-Only Elite Status. Email Article. By. American Airlines Concierge Key.
It was successful and the following year, AA expanded it and renamed it "Concierge Key." CK is independent of status - so there are plenty of Platinum, Gold and no- status CK members, in addition to top- tier elites. Special phone # and dedicated premium services employees to help with requests.
Truth be told, if one is top- tier, the EXP desk agents are 2. On the topic of that movie, I found it funny that all the in- flight/cabin shots were of the character(s) in AA international/next gen business class seats, yet they were flying on routes often served by MD8.
RJ's. LOL. The aircraft take- off/landing shots were always of an MD8. If AA had someone working with them on product accuracy, as the article states, then they might have gotten these things correct. That's the sort of creative license that filmakers have taken for decades. Generally, only airplane nerds like you and I notice these sorts of anachronisms and inaccuracies.
RJs and super. 80s would not have been anywhere near as glamorous as the widebodies.

Did you know there's a way to sell your art passively online?
There is. And I'd like to show you — step by step — how you can do just that!
Best of all? It's EASY.
Hi! I'm jules, an artist and creative business coach at CreatingBeautifully.com. I teach creative people how to make money doing what they love in flexible, online businesses.
And I firmly believe in working smarter, not harder.
So after testing, tweaking, and some technology catching up, I finally figured out a way to sell my art prints almost 100% passively. And now I'm sharing that system with you!
Not only is this course jam-packed with step-by-step instructions on how to create a shop (or add to your existing shop) that sells your art passively: it's surprisingly easy! (You don't have to be "tech-y" to set it all up.)
It's also surprisingly fast. This won't take you weeks or months to set up. The way I'm teaching this course will help you quickly be able to sell your art passively online! You could have it all set up this weekend, if you want to!
You may be wondering, "What do you mean by "passively," Jules?"
I mean this: when an order for your printed art (whether on fine art paper (framed or not), canvas, or even products!) comes in through your online shop, it goes directly to a company that takes care of everything for you: production, packaging, shipping, and even returns and exchanges on mistaken order and/or damaged goods!
Can you imagine:
- No more printing (or buying expensive ink and paper!)
- No more packaging (or storing boxes, envelopes and bubble wrap!)
- No more standing in line at the Post Office (or even dropping packages off at the prepaid counter!)
How much easier would your life be if you could Sell Your Art Passively Online like that?
And if you're not selling prints already? Well, you'll never even have to experience any of the above. Woo!
And if you want to sell your original work online, too? No problem! You can sell original work in the same online shop as you do these passive prints. (Of course, you'll have to pack and ship your originals, but having this passive system working for you 24/7 means less work — and more potential and passive income — for you overall… Umm, sounds like a no-brainer to me!😊)
I think you're going to LOVE it! Especially if you want to sell more of your art, passively. But here's what other people in the course are saying:
"I am only 2 days in on your email series & I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much I love it already!!! Thanks for sharing so much good information, and I can't wait to see what comes next!" – Alicia S.
"Jules I'm going to drop the L word over email and say I friggin probably Love ya!! You're awesome to have this business!" – Thomas B.
"Thank you for this, Jules. It is SO helpful! I so appreciate your wealth of free advice! Thanks!" – Jessica F.
So what are you waiting for? 💁😉
Sign up now to Sell Your Art Passively Online, and get started in a matter of minutes:
As artists, we know it's nice to have multiple streams of income: from private sales, to galleries, to our own online shops, to art fairs, licensing and beyond. And offering prints is a great way to make more money in your art business.
But the time you take printing, packaging, and mailing your prints is costing you money!
That time could be much better spent creating new work or looking for my ways to grow your art business.
That's why I'm sharing my own formula for selling my prints almost 100% passively in this short but powerful course.
Frequently Asked Questions about Art Sales on Autopilot:
Q. I'm outside of the U.S. Will this work for me?
Unfortunately not at this time. There may be ways to do something similar in your country, but that's not what this course teaches.
Q. What is included in the course?
8 Modules with videos and bonus PDFs are included, plus a bonus section with advice on marketing your new (or improved) online shop. There is also a class discussion area in every module, where you can leave feedback, ask questions, and connect with other Art Sales on Autopilot students!
Q. How long is the course?
Each module is only about 3-7 minutes, totaling about 45 minutes in all. I wasn't joking when I said you could take (and implement!) this course by this weekend. You're an artist, and your time is better spent making art then on technology.
Q. When can I start the course? And how long do I have to take it?
You can start the course immediately after your payment has been processed! And you have lifetime access to the course (even as I add to it and the price increases) so you can move through it quickly, take your time with it, and/or refer back to it again and again.
Q. Does is matter what kind of art I make?
Not really, you just have to be able to sell prints of your work. So you can sell art passively if you're an illustrator, abstract artist, painter, photographer, printmaker, collage artist, digital artist, or any type of 2D artist.
Q. Besides the low cost of the course, are there any other expenses I can expect?
Yes and no. You can bootstrap this and not have a single expense until your first piece sells. You do have to pay the printer to pack and ship your work - potentially before your patron's purchase has been paid to you. This will depend on what type of shop you open (I explain two different types of shops), what types of payments you accept, and how yor shop handles payments (some payout daily, others once a week.) There are some other potential expenses, but they are all optional and typically you'd need to spend no more than $150 to get everything all set up and running smoothly.
Q. Is there a moneyback gaurantee?
Of course. If you complete all 8 modules and set up your passive income shop and then feel like it wasn't worth $27 I will happily refund your money within 60 days. PLEASE NOTE: this course is for U.S.-based artists only, because the tools and platforms I recommend and teach are currently only available here.

I hate my vacuum!
6 comments:
Have you looked on Craig's list or at yard sales in your area? Sometimes people off-load perfectly good vacuums for cheap because they're moving or something.ReplyDelete
We have a Hoover that's pushing 13 yrs old. It's no Dyson, but it works well. Luckily, half of our small home is tile, so I don't vacuum all that much, but it does the trick.
Good luck!
When mind does this--it's because there is something stuck in the tube inside. You know, the tube that takes the dirt to the canister. I'm pretty sure that tube is clogged. Just unplug it and explore the innerds of your machine. You may not need to buy a new one after all.ReplyDelete
If all else fails and you don't want to doll out the cash for a new one, I'd check out the free classifieds on ksl.com. I love that site. We've gotten all kinds of things for super cheap.ReplyDelete
Well, you may not remember, but a few months ago Mandy had teh same delema. Here is my suggestion (and she took it) 10 years back I bought a Hoover Boss Smart Vac. IT ROCKS!!!! I just had to replace it, but I bought the exact same one. Now I know Mandy bought one, my mom has one and Grandma Elder has one also. They aren't to expensive and you can get it and the bags at Wal-mart. It's worth it, trust me. If you don't trust me then check out consumer reports it is rated on there also.ReplyDelete
OH MY GOSH! We are kindred spirits!~ReplyDelete
I just got a new vacuum and it rocks!
Its a bissel power force and I got it at Walmart (ick, but great prices) for like $45.00. That is an awesome price for a NEW vacumm and it 'sucks' great. I was so happy using today I even took pictures of the lines in my carpet that it left. (they made me feel like I accomplished something)
Anyway...love it!
Gool luck!
P.s. Its my second one, my last one lasted me 9 years!
I have the one Chris and I got for our wedding, it does get plugged with carpet fuzz (new carpet) or cat hair every 8mo. and has to be cleaned out, but then it's wonderful, but we are getting rid of it, if you don't want it, i'll throw it in my garage sale i'm going to have. Just let me know,, I think we have a new belt for the next time it needs it too! :)

Good afternoon-
I need to tell you something that I did not realize until today. That is, I hate painting nightscapes, and it is very possible that this one is the last.
I love bright colors, and my batik horse paintings aside, dark and more dark is just, well, too dark. I like bright colors and I have a favorite palette that I use, a kinda signature vat of colors, and this dark stuff and moody night scenes are just not doing it for me.
Anyhow, I finished, and finishing is generally a good thing, regardless of the exercise.
So- here you go:
I want to send a warm hello to Hanover, Germany!

Heaven. Earth. Space.
Create Balance In All Aspects Of Your Life.
Picture it:
A diverse group. Athletes and grandparents practicing side by side. Everyone immersed in the present moment. There is a smile on their faces, while mind and body are facing a challenge. Everyone is doing the same. Everyone in their own, unique way.
Together unique.
We live in houses that someone else built, eat food someone else grew. Life only works through connection. In a Yuna class there are no levels, no separation, no labels. We welcome, support and challenge you in your uniqueness.
Creating balance.
There are two Yuna class types: Heaven and Earth. Based on the two complementary forces yang and yin, they create balance in every aspect of your life. Both classes are pervaded by Space, the Yuna mindset.
Practice being happy.
Recreational activities are supposed to be fun. There is no need to create more toughness in life. The Yuna language has been carefully designed to trigger positive information fields that help you to challenge yourself with a smile on your face. Your wellbeing is vital. Yuna brings more smiles, more kindness and more fun into your practice and your life.
The Game Changer.
A Yuna Guide never shows poses. When a teacher shows poses, you'll always need to raise the head in an awkward pose, compare yourself to a teacher demonstrating a perfect form and your attention is half here and half there. Thanks to the Yuna way of detailed and jargon-free verbal guidance you can be with yourself completely. Enjoy a highly personal practice, no matter how big the group. Using pure verbal instruction is a game changer. Enjoy real me time.
Heaven fuels your energy, enhances enthusiasm and strength.
Discover this highly efficient whole body training. Heaven is dedicated to true strength so you can break free from negative patterns. You are pure potential.
A wide variety of flows trains and mobilizes every part of the body. A mix of static, pulsing, slow and fast movements will trigger your natural body intelligence and help you reconnect to the joy of movement that we all had as kids. Heaven feels like a natural high that allows you to play and challenge yourself as you wish. The after Heaven effect will keep your body and mind upright, clear and strong throughout your day.
Balance for body and mind.
Health comes from creating balance between too much and not enough. Don't burn yourself out but also, make sure you challenge yourself enough to live your full potential.
Core strength to be upright.
A strong core goes hand in hand with a healthy back and self-esteem. Live your uniqueness guided by the core of your being: your heart.
Joy and fun are essential.
You deserve a space where you can challenge yourself without being pushed or pressured but encouraged and supported. Feel the joy of progressing free from competition and labels.
Efficiency is key.
No need to be hard on yourself. Instead, learn to move with purpose and awareness. Listen to your body's wisdom and free yourself from negative patterns. Align with the moment and everything falls into place.
Earth calms the business of your mind, releases deep tissues and triggers profound regeneration. Learn to appreciate yourself even when you are relaxing. You are not your to do list. Earth's gift for you is a deep, sweet release and a clear mind. Stop running through life and begin to take time for yourself.
Earth flows are long, gentle stretches that re-awaken the natural range of motion for your body. Experience an effortless and lasting release of deep tissues and joints. Your mind is longing for calmness. With Earth, you will benefit from a clear, organized mind and enjoy a new sense of lightness in your body that sticks with you off the mat.
Flexibility for body and mind.
A flexible mind is creative and can face any challenge. A flexible body is all about feeling free and mobile. Move beyond made-up limits and discover a space of possibility.
Appreciation for doing nothing.
You need to allow your system to regenerate and there's no better way than leaving it be. Remember that you are valuable no matter if you are hustling or doing nothing.
Perseverance makes dreams come true.
Train the mind to follow through with what you started. Listen to yourself, take breaks but never give up. You can do anything you want.
Ease and stillness balance out the fast pace of living.
By bathing in these qualities on the mat, you can tap into them any time you want. Be an oasis of calm in the daily hustle and bustle.
Space elevates Heaven and Earth classes beyond pure physical movement. It is everything the eye can't see. Space inspires a positive and attentive mindset. Become aware of the immense power of your mind and learn to work with it. Create your reality.
You can do the healthiest movement but when you are aggressive, it will have no positive effect. Do the same movement with joy and kindness and your whole being will benefit. The mindset makes the difference. Face a challenge with a playful mind and there is always a solution. Your mind can transform obstacles into springboards and the little things of everyday life begin to sparkle. Space is a detox for your mind to free up its amazing potential to create a world of positivity, success and magic.
Transformation of patterns that are not useful.
Let go of what holds you back or makes you feel small. You are important and have something special to share with this world.
Create what you wish for.
Don't wait. Don't complain. Start seeing opportunities, not problems. Bring to life what you long for. Everything you need is within you already. Life is your playground.
Thoughts and emotions can elevate you or hold you back.
Learn to deal with them in a positive and hands-on way. You are more than your thoughts. You are in control.

Friday Lunch with Prole: How many 'celebrity marriages' are product endorsements?
They used to be lavender weddings didn't they, but now people, or 'them' or 'our celebs' or 'those cunts' now get married for joint product placement/promotion etc - look at Beckham and his frightful Gerald Scarf cartoon of a wife, and Preston and Chantelle, which is good for record sales and magazine sales etc - but we all know this already
But do you think any of these 'celebs' and even A-list scum like Jennifer 'I'm kookie even though my dead eyed stare just screams naked ambition at the cost of lives if needs be' Aniston and Brad Walsh whoever - do they do it for love/lust/desperation or are they all contracted together like some sort of business 'merger'?
Perhaps DiS should do this - marry Raz to SCL? or Wrightylew to Stealthy?, Robert George-Grindrod - the mini series? - oh its Friday have fun. Ok. Don't then. See if I care. Which I do. Sort of. A bit.
They usually end in divorce
I give Cole-Tweedy about a year.
If you're reading this Bobby,
I'm up for it.
If I'm marrying Wrightylew, he has to understand that it's my house, MY music. That means Kasabian out - Terry Riley in. And so on.
...and he's the Bottom. That's just how I roll.
This will be THE marriage of 2006
I'm there already
Ashley Cole will beat up tweedy - you can see it already in his eyes.
Remember when 'Chris' Evans was dating Geri Halliwell? - I think I threw up my dinner twice - and one of those times was before I'd actually eaten it. Truly frightful people.
Gerald Scarf should read 'Gerald Scarfe'
I need a subbie. Raz?
I don't remember that at all. I'm choosing to believe it didn't happen. Or that it never got any further than a one night stand and one or both of them suddenly stopped mid-thrust and said "WHAT AM I DOING?!"
if jennifer aniston
married Bradley Walsh i'd probably buy the magazine.
That's the problem, that people buy Heat, Ok and all those horrible magazines that will put Jade form BB on the cover everytime she gets married, gets divorced, gets a botfriend, gets pregnant, has a baby, has a fight, has a dink. And they know it, easy money really.
I hope Preston and Chantelle last as, although it may be the romantic in me, i thought there seemed to be real attraction between them...
That Anthea Turner was the worst, then she tries to tell me how to be a perfect housewife. GET OUT
As opposed to Ashley Cole and Tweedy. Tweedy being one of those girls who wants a footballer - any footballer, and Cole being one of those guys who wants a hot bird to shag every once in a while - any bird will do.
Match made in Heat.
That woman of hideous aspect: Kerry Katona
she lives in them - I saw one today that said on the front - 'Kerry's Hospital Rush - pregnant and STILL smoking' - now I'm a keen champion of tobacco in leisure time over a fine malt or whilst studying music but really when preggers is bad, bad, Big Audio Dynamite, BAD
Your post made me laugh slickers - nice work!
Jade Goody needs reminding in an agressive TV campaign
just to remind her how distasteful her very existence is.
I find Jade's existance less distasteful now that I know she's funneled her ill-gotten gains into an actual proper business that she actually WORKS at and EARNS proper money from.
Victoria Beckham however is still The Enemy. What is the point of her?
and Chantelle?
I'm going out to buy Heat at lunchtime, just to find out who they (and Pete and Nicky) are
Preston is in some shit band whose name I can't quite recall. And Chantelle is no-one.
End of chat.
here you go
Preston, lead singer of the Ordinary boys, married Chantelle who won celebrity Bog Borother despite not being a celebrity. They fell in love in the house. It was quite sweet as it was all hand brushing, lusty looks and stuff as Preston had a fiance on the outside.
Pete and Nicky...this years BB. pete with torrettes and an awful band. Nickty the most uinattractive asexual female i think i've ever seen, like a 12 year old boy with implants and extensions.
save your 60p or whatever it is.
bog borother
is of course Big Brother
for the rundown! I'm with you now. Maybe not the Chantelle girl, but other than that I'm there.
That Nicky girl doesn't ever look like she's far from whinging about something, does she?
i saw her new show being hyped
on E4 last night, it looks like she goes to some dirty job she doesn't want to do, like on a trawler, says i won't do it!! a lot, flails around and cries. Who is going to watch this drivel I just don't know.
tell you who'll watch it.
Mrs Judge, if I'm not careful...
that just about sums it up
but don't give Chantelle (obvously Im on first name terms - aren't we all?) any credence - she should be cleaning tolet seats and the Grozny Arms in Bridgewater. For at least 3 years.
'at the'
not 'and the' for crying out loud!
I am disatisfied with todays Lunch With Prole.
Even chatting about hating celebrity couples is uncomfortably close to chat ABOUT celebrities, which of course is fully repugnant. I respectfully request a replacement thread.
Quick, before I get the urge to start doing some work.
at least you now know how to be the perfect housewife, you ungrateful miserable sow
is the word you're looking for.
Ah, my most loathed word. Good show, old chap.
are you
Lindsey Negal?
This one is struggling today
this is my 'Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star' one isn' it?
I think I got that title wrong but I last played it when I was Gunners' age.
is it legal for stealthy to marry wrightylew yet? could always go to holland, i suppose

An interesting item from the food ingredients press: China is restricting production and sale of Aspartame, the controversial sweetener that has recently been declared to be innocuous by both the FDA and the European Food Safety Administration.
China to Restrict Aspartame Production and Sale
12/07/06 - By controlling production and banning the launch of new projects, China will exert more efforts to restrict the production and sale of aspartame, press reports said.
A circular issued by The National Development and Reform Commission (NDR), the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the State Environmental Protection Administration highlighted their further strengthening of China's work on restricting the sale and production of the widely-used sweetener.
State-designated aspartame producers shall in principle shift production to other products when moving to a new place, according to the circular. In addition, their reconstruction will not exceed the state designated one, if they decide to pursue their aspartame operations.
A clamp-down on aspartame production by the Chinese authorities. What do the Chinese know that the US FDA and the European Agency for the Safety of Foods are completely missing?
Only recently, the European Commission moved its Food Safety Agency to discredit the Italian study by the European Ramazzini Foundation's Cancer Research Institute which had found that in a long time experiment, rats had developed cancers and leukemias when given aspartame at dosages comparable to those that humans could be expected to consume.
No wonder the Chinese economy is the most vibrant economy, together with India, growing by about 10 % a year. They actually take care to eliminate losing business propositions and concentrate on what has a promising future, and there is no override of decisions of the government by industrial giants.
Not so here in the West. Since Donald Rumsfeld called in his markers to override the FDA scientific advisory board's decision to not approve the sweetener, the FDA has been looking the other way every time it got an adverse event report. Now such reports are openly discouraged because ... well, it just can't be that a sweetener that is on the market with regulatory approval is causing your nausea, your headache, your vision going bad, and any of a number of some 92 adverse reactions listed in an early FDA report, then removed from public view.
The situation is similar with the European Union. The scientific data were re-examined several times, and each time aspartame was given a clean bill of health. At its latest aspartame-defense press conference, the EU representative was bold enough to state that "no further research is needed". Translation: Aspartame will stay on the market, whether you like it or not.
Perhaps the only conclusion one can come to by looking at all the data available is: Our health authorities are in bed with an industry that is concentrating on shareholder profit rather than on eliminating problems their products cause for our health.

Gmdh-methodology And Implementation In C (With Cd-rom)By: Godfrey C. Onwubolu (editor)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionGroup Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is a typical inductive modeling method built on the principles of self-organization. Since its introduction, inductive modeling has been developed and applied to complex systems in areas like prediction, modeling, clusterization, system identification, as well as data mining and knowledge extraction technologies, to several fields including social science, science, engineering, and medicine.This book makes error-free codes available to end-users so that these codes can be used to understand the implementation of GMDH, and then create opportunities to further develop the variants of GMDH algorithms. C-language has been chosen because it is a basic language commonly taught in the first year in computer programming courses in most universities and colleges, and the compiled versions could be used for more meaningful practical applications where security is necessary.
ContentsGMDH Multilayered Algorithm (G Onwubolu); GMDH Multilayered Algorithm using Prior Information (A Kiryanov); GMDH Combinatorial Algorithm (G Onwubolu); GMDH Harmonic Algorithm (G Onwubolu); GMDH-based PNN Algorithm (A Andrakhanov); GMDH Objective Cluster Analysis Algorithm (L Sarycheva & A Sarychev); Quality Criteria for GMDH-Clustering (L Sarycheva); Multi-agent Clustering Algorithm (A A Olejnik et al.); GMDH Analogue Complexing Algorithm (D A Zubov).

Tagged: amd, Threadripper, tim, ryzen
If you are looking for advice on how to install and cool a Threadripper. [H]ard|OCP have quickly become the site to reference. They've benchmarked the majority of waterblocks which are compatible with AMD's big chip as well as publishing videos on how to install it on your motherboard. Today the chip is out again, this time it is getting a manually applied TIM facial. Check out Kyle's tips on getting ready to coat your chip and the best way to spread the TIM to ensure even cooling.
"AMD's Threadripper has shown to be a very different CPU in all sorts of ways and this includes how you install the Thermal Interface Material as well should you be pushing your Threadripper's clocks beyond factory defaults. We show you what techniques we have found to give us the best temperatures when overclocking. "

That's exactly how I did my 1950x. latex glove and fingering it. spread it nice and even the thermal grizzly. idles at 29C
4GHz all cores @ 1.325v
custom loop using EK's msi x399 monoblock
Latex glove and fingering it you say! Well that's a step up from the treatment that Nvidia is giving to AIBs, PC OEMs, and Laptop OEMs under those Entities' own respective gaming branding, and by extention(Big Long Extention) to consumers also.
Nvidia's doing it long, hard, and raw with no Latex or Thermal-Compound provided to folks with that Green Brand single 21st digit that's not part of any finger or toe based option. Nvidia's got that BOHICA over the entire gaming market with that GPP program and GPP stands for Getting Poked Perpetually while bent over like a daisy in a hurricane.
so that's why my prostrate is getting overheated, I've been doing it all wrong all these years!
I wonder about the effectiveness of the extra dabs of TIM being applied over the active die areas. Seems to me that it might actually be going too far. Hence the "footprint" failing to reach the opposite corners, instead of 100% coverage. (?)
I dunno man, GN probably has them beat.

After about 35 years of generally falling inflation, signs of an uptick has unnerved investors. Inflation expectations have been climbing, and have been showing up in recent wages and consumer price data. According to a recent research note from Fidelity Viewpoints, there are three key reasons to consider inflation risk:
- Inflation erodes purchasing power
- Rising inflation has historically been a drag on stock and bond returns
- When inflation is higher and more volatile, correlation between stocks and bonds increases
According to Fidelity Investments, investors may be able to mitigate inflation risks by adding diversification with asset classes that have historically held up better in rising inflation environments. Consider commodities, commodity-producing equities, gold, and short-duration bonds.

On 4 October, the EUs Environment Committee will vote on REACH, the new regulation on chemicals that is destined to create a surge of circa 4 million extra animals used in tests in the EU. Today Animal Defenders International (ADI) releases a hard-hitting report with evidence to show why the acute toxicity tests in the REACH proposal should adopt a non-animal approach.
Earlier this year, ADI put its non-animal testing strategy for REACH to the European Commission, the Parliament, and the Council of Ministers (via the UK Government).
GREEN MEP Caroline Lucas has campaigned for non-animal tests to be incorporated within the REACH Chemicals Regulation, rather than animal tests.
Replacing animal experiments with modern non-animal alternatives is not simply an animal rights issue it will improve the effectiveness of toxicity testing and benefit the protection of human health and the environment, said Dr Lucas, who has tabled 20 amendments to toxicity tests in the proposed REACH directive, which will be debated at the Environment Committee.
Existing animal tests have never been validated to modern standards and, as well as being extremely cruel, are slower and more expensive than non-animal alternatives,she added
One important issue that has been debated this week in the other committees talking about REACH, is the addition of yet another animal test requirement, for acute toxicity.
To argue the case for a non-animal alternative, ADI has produced another report called KEEP ANIMALS OUT OF REACH: Acute Toxicity Testing. This focuses on an acute toxicity test on rats that was conducted by Inveresk laboratories on behalf of Hempels Marine Paints A/S, Denmark. In this test, for the toxic effects of anti-fouling paint for use on the bottom of boats, rats were forced to inhale the paint in an experiment which caused them substantial and prolonged suffering.
ADIs latest report points out:
ADI is calling on its supporters to lobby their MEPs asking them to vote against an additional animal test support non-animal strategy.
An executive summary of the acute toxicity report is available at http://www.navs.org.uk/download_files/vivisection/acutetox_execsummary.pdf
The full report can be viewed at: http://www.navs.org.uk/download_files/vivisection/acutetox_briefing.pdf
Party Conferences
ADI is distributing its REACH reports at the Party Conferences. Although UK MPs will not be voting on REACH, they will influence the UK Government on it the UK Government is represented in the Council of Ministers, on the Environment Committee, and currently holds the UK Presidency of the European Union (until end December), and is determined to get REACH adopted before the end of their Presidency.

Fluorosis - Tooth staining caused by excessive fluoride intake. -
What is dental fluorosis?
- Fluorosis is a permanent type of tooth staining that forms in response to high-level systemic (internal) exposures of fluoride, when experienced by children during that time period when their teeth are forming.
- During periods of high exposure, the normal process of tooth mineral formation is disrupted. This results in areas of hypomineralization (reduced mineral content) and increased porosity in the tooth's developing hard tissues (especially enamel).
- These changes alter the tooth's appearance (pictures), multiple teeth are usually affected. - Color changes can range from chalky white to brown. Just isolated or widespread portions of a tooth may be involved. Tooth surface damage or pitting may occur.
- Common causes of fluorosis include children swallowing fluoride toothpaste when brushing.
- Various treatments can be used to resolve fluorosis staining/damage including: teeth whitening, microabrasion, and dental restoration placement.
(AlShehri 2016) [page references]
What does dental fluorosis look like?
With normal teeth ...
- The tooth's enamel has a shiny glass-like appearance. It will also exhibit some level of translucency (meaning light has the ability to pass into or through it).
With affected teeth ...
- Areas of fluorosis will have a dull chalky appearance due to an increase in their enamel's opacity (loss of translucency).
Some type of color variation will be apparent too, ranging from bright white to brown. (See pictures below.)
Why the difference in appearance?
These effects are due to changes in the composition of the tooth's enamel that have occurred (reduced level of mineralization, increased porosity, increased fluoride content). These abnormalities affect both the tint of the enamel and how it interacts with light (its degree of translucency).
There's a direct correlation between the level of fluoride that's been incorporated into the tooth's enamel and the severity of the staining or surface damage that has taken place (Hovius 2014). We have more information about fluoride levels and effects below.
Fluorosis - Characteristics, examples, photos.
Slight to Mild dental fluorosis.
This type of fluorosis pattern is referred to as "snow capping."
a) Mild cases.
The vast majority of cases of fluorosis in the United States fall under the classification of slight to mild.
- The staining pattern involved is usually one of chalky-white lines, or opaque white patches or flecks, dispersed across a limited region of the tooth's enamel.
- The staining is typically bilateral, meaning the same tooth on each side of the mouth displays a very similar pattern of discoloration (see illustration below).
- Any portion of the tooth may be the region affected. - When the staining is found right at the tooth's biting edge, it's often referred to as "snow capping." (See picture.)
Severe dental fluorosis.
Extensive fluorosis staining like this is referred to as tooth mottling.
b) Moderate to severe cases.
When higher, more frequent or more prolonged systemic fluoride exposure has occurred, the resulting fluorosis can be expected to be more severe. With these cases:
- A greater percentage, or even all, of the tooth's surface will display staining. Tooth surface abnormalities such as pitting may be evident too.
- Besides just chalky-white, severe cases may exhibit yellow, brown or even black discolorations.
Severe dental fluorosis.
The areas that are most affected have brown discoloration.
- Actually, and even with severe cases, when a tooth first erupts (comes through the gums) it's areas of fluorosis will be white in color.
Then, due to the low mineral content and porosity of the affected areas, darker color staining will accumulate over time (due to the incorporation of metal ions into the enamel such as copper and iron).
- In severe cases the tooth's under-mineralized enamel may be fragile and therefore damaged relatively easily.
This might occur during events as simple as chewing hard or crunchy foods. People who clench or grind their teeth excessively may cause significant tooth wear.
(Hovius 2014, Alvarez 2009)
Streaks of fluorosis frequently have formed during the same time period.
They lie at different levels because the teeth were at different stages of development at the time of the fluoride exposure.
c) Bilateral symmetry is the norm.
It's characteristic that the staining pattern of fluorosis that's seen is at least somewhat bilaterally symmetrical. (Meaning it has affected the same teeth, and usually even the same general tooth locations, on both the left and right side of the person's mouth).
That's because these affected areas on matching pairs of teeth (left/right central incisors, lateral incisors, eyeteeth, etc...) were all at the same point of enamel formation when the exposure to the fluoride took place (see illustration).
However, the region of stain on different types of teeth can be expected to lie at different levels. That's because at any point in time, some kinds of teeth are further along in their development (more fully formed) than others.
Treatments for fluorosis tooth staining.
a) Slight / Mild cases.
With cases where only minimal evidence of fluorosis is evident, no treatment is required if the person considers the appearance of their teeth acceptable. The integrity of the affected areas of enamel is seldom a concern.
b) Moderate and Severe cases.
In situations where the lesions caused by fluorosis are readily apparent and objectionable to the patient, a repair can be made by placing a dental filling (bonding), veneer or crown. Which type of restoration is deemed the most appropriate will simply need to be determined by the treating dentist.
- Bonding (dental composite) - This type of restoration tends to be most appropriate for situations where the extent of the fluorosis is somewhat limited in size. (Situations where just a portion or a few spots on each tooth require repair).
Since composite is able to bond directly to a tooth's surface, the smaller the size of the lesion being corrected (both in terms of surface area and especially depth) the greater the likelihood that this option makes the absolute best choice.
Generally speaking, if some type of restoration must be placed (see minimally invasive alternatives below), bonding is the method of choice for making minor to minute tooth-colored repairs.
- Dental veneers - As compared to a composite restoration, porcelain veneer placement is generally chosen for cases where the extent of the fluorosis is comparatively greater (for example, a majority of the tooth's surface).
Other considerations might be that for a particular case the treating dentist feels that a veneer will offer superior esthetics or longevity.
- Dental crowns - Both veneers and dental composite are bonded restorations, and as such require a region of normal/healthy enamel to be bonded to. (Remember, fluorosis is areas of porous, under-mineralized enamel).
Dental crowns don't have this requirement. So in cases where the extent of a tooth's fluorosis is very severe, placing a crown may be the only viable option that a dentist has to offer. Crowns also make the appropriate choice for cases where the structural integrity of the teeth being treated has been compromised by their condition and therefore require strengthening.
c) Conservative treatments for Mild and possibly Moderate fluorosis.
Placing a restoration isn't always the best solution.
A major drawback of having any type of restoration placed (bonding, veneer or crown) is that at some point in time it will ultimately require replacement.
This would be especially true for restorations placed relatively early in a person's life, and those whose cosmetic appearance is of utmost importance. Restorations used to correct fluorosis would tend to fit both of these criteria.
You may have some minimally-invasive treatment options.
Your dentist may be able to offer one or a combination of the following "minimally invasive" procedures as a solution for your case. This term, or its synonym "conservative," applies because compared to performing other procedures the tooth itself is little changed.
Advantages - The idea here is that nothing requires less maintenance over the long-term than a sound healthy tooth. So if your tooth with fluorosis meets that criteria, and it's appearance can be corrected conservatively, then by far doing so makes the best treatment plan, not placing some type of restoration.
Disadvantages - As we discuss below, what sometimes comes with comparatively less invasive options is an outcome that's less perfect. Or it may not be possible to know the treatment's outcome beforehand. In either case, after undergoing the procedure you may still decide that restorations are needed to ultimately get the esthetic outcome you desire.
That's not to say that conservative treatments never give a perfect result, because sometimes they do. You'll simply have to rely on what your dentist tells you they feel is possible.
But for some people choosing one of these approaches is a compromise that's selected because the value of a minimally altered tooth is understood and is important to them. And in light of that, a significantly improved, as opposed to perfect, cosmetic outcome is perfectly acceptable.
Option #1 - Teeth whitening treatments.
How fluorosis is treated via whitening treatments.
Because the body of the tooth is whiter, the areas of fluorosis staining are less obvious.
This is probably the most frequently used conservative treatment for fluorosis cases.
This method approaches the problem of fluorosis from the standpoint that there's simply a color mismatch between the affected and unaffected areas of enamel.
The solution.
Since the affected areas are too white, if the normal areas of enamel can be lightened (using teeth whitening treatments) the mismatch will no longer exist, or at least be as obvious.
Here's further explanation about how the whitening process is used for these types of cases: Severe | Mild (you should read both). And we have a digital makeover where we also discuss the use of this technique.
As you can see in our before-and-after photos, up close the results of this method may not seem all that perfect. (For your case, you'll simply have to ask your dentist what they feel is possible.)
But even at short distances, results like these might be interpreted as quite normal by the eyes of others. And therefore an outcome that's perfectly acceptable to the patient, especially considering the simplicity with which the transformation was accomplished.
Option #2 - Microabrasion treatments.
As its name implies, microabrasion technique involves a process where the stained surface of a tooth is abraded off.
The underlying problem.
Fluorosis blemishes lie in a tooth's enamel layer. In some cases the lesion itself may be confined to just a portion of the enamel's full thickness.
The solution.
With microabrasion technique the surface layer of the enamel, and the imperfections it contains, are worn away using an acidic abrasive paste. The whole process isn't terribly unlike an aggressive form of tooth polishing. (We discuss details about the procedure here.)
The end result is a tooth that's been returned to its normal appearance, at the expense of some of its enamel thickness.
Probably the biggest problem associated with utilizing microabrasion is that the dentist never really knows for certain how deep in the enamel the fluorosis extends.
Since the dentist will always error on the side of safety (by not removing too much enamel), if the extent of the lesion is deeper than hoped only a partial rather than full resolution will be accomplished. A dental restoration, although a smaller one, may still need to be placed.
But in cases where the use of this technique has provided acceptable results, it offers the perfect solution. The tooth's appearance has been restored. The amount of enamel it has lost should be inconsequential. No long-term maintenance of any kind is required.
Option #3 - Combined treatments.
It may be that neither teeth whitening or microabrasion treatments have been (or are expected to be) successful on their own. But using a combination of the two is able to produce acceptable results.
In most cases, the microabrasion procedure will be performed first, then the whitening treatments.
Option #4 - Resin infiltration.
This is a relatively new technique that may offer a conservative solution for mild to moderate fluorosis cases.
Using this procedure, a plastic resin is used to fill in areas of enamel porosity caused by the fluorosis. We discuss this technique's use here as a repair for a similar type of enamel lesion.
Who's at risk for fluorosis? - Answer: Young children.
What are the critical years of concern?
Dental fluorosis only occurs when elevated levels of fluoride are ingested (swallowed) during that time frame when a child's teeth are developing (a period when the tooth is buried in the jawbone). Once a tooth has broken through the gums, the risk no longer exists.
That means the most critical years for the risk of fluorosis lie between the child's birth and age 6 to 7 years.
- In regard to permanent teeth that show, the greatest risk lies between the ages 1 and 4 years.
- Generally speaking, at around age 8 years a child would no longer be at risk.
(Alvarez 2009)
The damage isn't actually visible until later on.
Because fluorosis forms while teeth are developing (and therefore still lie embedded in the jaws), its effects aren't visible until the affected teeth have finally erupted (come in).
Permanent and/or baby teeth may be affected.
Fluorosis forms during tooth development, so any teeth that are forming at the time of the child's elevated fluoride exposure may be affected. That includes both permanent (adult) and deciduous (baby) teeth.
Since deciduous teeth ultimately exfoliate (fall out), correcting their appearance usually isn't an issue. But having baby teeth that show signs of staining is often an indication that the child's permanent teeth will show similar defects too.
Factors that affect fluorosis severity.
The severity of dental fluorosis depends on both the level and duration (exposure length, number of occurences) of the child's fluoride overexposure.
Similar doses of fluoride can lead to different fluorosis outcomes for different children. Factors include the child's weight and level of physical activity. Nutritional factors, malnutrition, renal insufficiency and even the child's geographic altitude can also influence the level of staining that occurs. (Alvarez 2009)
Fluorosis risk factors. / Prevention.
Studies have identified four fluoride sources that are commonly associated with a child's risk for developing fluorosis.
They are: 1) fluoridated drinking water, 2) fluoride supplements, 3) topical fluoride (especially fluoride toothpaste, see below), and 4) formula prescribed for children. Additionally, commercially prepared (store-bought) foods and beverages sometimes play a role. (Alvarez 2009)
The list above reveals that with the widespread availability of fluoridated products combined with the implementation of municipal programs (water fluoridation infographic), it's now easier than ever for a child to experience a high level of fluoride intake.
That means every child's total exposure should be evaluated and monitored. Your dentist is in the best position to help you calculate and calibrate what their exposure/intake is and should be.
! A primary cause of fluorosis is swallowing toothpaste.
a) The underlying problem.
Small children, especially those younger than age 6, characteristically are not able to reliably spit out when brushing.
As a result they may end up swallowing a large portion of the toothpaste that's been placed on their brush. And if it contains fluoride, over time enough may be ingested that fluorosis forms.
- 1 to 3 year olds may get up to 80% of their daily intake of fluoride from toothpaste. (Almeida 2007)
- It's estimated that 2 to 3 year olds ingest 48% of the amount of toothpaste dispensed, 4 year olds 42%, 5 year olds 34% and 25% by 6 year olds. The estimate for children between 8 and 12 years is around 10%. For adults it's 10% or less. (SCHER 2011).
b) Avoidance. / Prevention.
The following suggestions can help to minimize a child's risk for fluorosis.
- Children should be given instructions about how to properly brush and rinse. They should be supervised when brushing so to help them form and practice proper brushing habits.
- In most cases it's the amount of product that's used rather than the concentration of its fluoride that poses the greatest risk (Davies 2003). Fluoridated toothpaste should always be dispensed by an adult, not the child.
Read your toothpaste's instructions, generally only a small amount of toothpaste is needed. A common measurement for children is a dab the size of a green pea (0.25 g). For those younger than 3 years, just a smear. Dispensing toothpaste the full length of a child's toothbrush can correlate with an amount that's three times (0.75 g) the proper amount.
- As a general rule, unfluoridated tooth cleanser should be used with children 2 years and under. Ask your dentist for their specific recommendation.
- Store fluoridated toothpaste out of the reach of children (some kids like the way it tastes and eat it).
- When purchasing fluoride toothpaste, look for one that has the American Dental Association's (ADA) "Seal of Approval." These products have been shown to be both safe and effective.
The fluoride content of commercially prepared foods must be monitored.
Bottled juices and juice-flavored drinks can be a source of high levels of fluoride. These products sometimes have a concentration that is significantly higher than the 0.7 ppm (parts per million) considered appropriate and optimal.

I grew up watching The Simpsons, I can recite a lot of episodes and know plenty about the show. Weird thing is, I started watching it again and noticed how they built the relationships between the characters: Lisa is daddy's little girl and sometimes comes down from her moral high ground for things that she and Homer do together. Bart wants to please his mom, but goes about it all the wrong way (a trait shared with his father). Marge always has the kids' best interest at heart, though she does something for herself on occasion. Homer sometimes gets into trouble, but he never means to harm anyone and usually has the best intentions, even though he's not the brightest bulb.
And then they had these characters' intentions and personalities bounce off each other and affect one another. It proved that a sitcom can be hilarious, but can use a deeper, richer subtext to provide deeper, richer jokes and a better show. There are to my knowledge three shows that borrowed The Simpsons formula and executed it very well: Scrubs is definitely one (The Office and Arrested Development are the other two).
It didn't get through in the first few episodes, but it started right around "My Nickname," when Carla and JD tried to get a little closer, but a set of events led to their relationship blowing up in the middle of the street on a rainy evening. It was like a bank robbery, so well designed. Here's a quick rundown of how things happened:
JD and Carla are getting along swimmingly. Elliot is annoying Dr. Cox with her overactive personality when she meets a patient just like her. Dr. Cox takes it out on JD in front of Carla. Carla defends JD to Dr. Cox in front of Elliot and the always-annoying Jill Tracy. Dr. Cox embarrasses JD about his "mommy" defending him in front of everyone. JD yells at Carla for acting like his mommy (with the only trump card he has: "I'm the doctor, you're the nurse"). Everyone yells at JD for yelling at Carla. Dr. Cox is happy because he vented on someone and destroyed other peoples' happiness and JD and Carla have some tension—-all a part of Sacred Heart's zero-sum game of happiness.
So when Carla gets mad at JD on the bus for a stupid joke about going to college, it feels like it's completely JD's fault, but it's also Carla venting about her frustrations. A completely confused JD asks if she wants her coat while she's standing in the rain, Carla says no, and JD responds with "Why would you?"
Carla, being the Dutch Uncle of the show, tells JD how wrong he is to wrap up his self-esteem in what he does and is exactly right about it. Carla's flaw is that she has to tell everyone how it is. If JD had any fight in him, he would have argued that she was overstepping her boundaries and had no right to fight his fights (though she did because she knew he wouldn't), or any high ground for that matter to criticize him.
But since he's JD, he doesn't and simply accepts what she says as reality ... which it is, but if he had any backbone, he would have fought back a little. It was perfect (if you can ignore the "I never felt bad about what I do, not for one second … until I met you" line) for both of those characters to be in that argument at that time; for Carla getting burned for being too protective and JD getting burned for chastising someone for helping him. Who the characters are reflected the moment, especially because JD's biggest flaw is that he looks up to and tries to garner attention from people he'll never get acknowledgment (except once) and ignores the people that do help him and this episode exploited that.
JD, being JD, tried to heal the relationship in the most transparent way possible, by asking her a silly medical question. Though Carla didn't bite, she thanked him for acknowledging he was an ass earlier.
That type of action-reaction character dynamic, mixed with the cloverleaf storytelling, is what made the show so great (in addition to being funny). Later episodes would sophisticate the process a bit more and include more of the hospital and the surroundings, but this episode was a great step in that direction.
