Welcome to Recipe Central. You will find many bubble juice recipes here on the wiki. If you are curious to learn how bubble juice works and what the various ingredients do, take a look at Bubble Juice Basics.
you will be UPGRADED
This page provides recipes for people that want to make their own bubble juice. There are excellent commercial products available for those that prefer not to brew their own juices.
This recipe list is not in order of preference or quality. It is more-or-less in order that the recipes were added although there are exceptions. The page is in the process of being re-organized (August 2013). You can see how most of these recipes perform by taking a look at the related videos and pictures. Your success with these recipes will depend quite a bit on the conditions and your bubble wand.
If you want to learn what makes bubble juice work, read Bubble Juice Basics.
What is the best bubble juice? Read Edward's thoughts about the best bubble juice.
If you are looking for a recipe that uses easy-to-find ingredients and also creates world-class bubbles (of any size), I recommend trying this simple guar-based recipe.
All of the recipes on this page are capable of creating great bubbles. What you like best will depend a lot on your own personal preference.
Popular recipes include: the guar-based recipe and Mike's Gooey Mix and Mike's Stir 'n Go mix. Many people are fond of eGoo super-concentrate , but it takes some experimentation to get the amount of PEO right as it seems to be sensitive to variations of PEO potency. If you are serious about bubbles, try an HEC-based mix , too.
Use soap and water stupids.

When the wiki started, there were only a few recipes. The number of recipes has grown a lot and continues to grow. We get a lot of questions asking for the best recipe. There is no best recipe. There is also no single best recipe for beginners (for the reasons why see the page Best Bubble Juice. We recommend reading Bubble Juice Basics.
We can offer some advice. The guar-based bubble juice has become very popular since it was published as it is easy to mix and uses ingredients that are generally available locally and makes world-class bubbles. There may be recipes that you will eventually find even better, but many people are so thrilled with the bubbles that they stick with it. Brian Lawrence's simple mix uses easy-to-find ingredients and many love it. Glowby has provided his version of Brian's mix here.
If you have J-Lube or PolyOx WSR301 (see PEO and Ingredients) you might find Mike's Gooey Mix or Mike's Stir 'n Go mix or eGoo a great place to start. Or you might try mixing up some Bubble Power Powder.
If you get serious and want to explore, read through all the recipes and try some of the HEC-based mixes.
All the recipes here have been used to create great bubbles.
Commercial Products
For commercial bubble juice and mixes, see the Readymade category. These products include concentrates and powders to which you add water or water and detergents. For the casual bubbler, commercial mixes are often the way to go.
Garbage -based bubble mix[Added June 2012] This simple guar gum-based recipe is quite effective -- especially if you don't have J-Lube or PolyOx WSR301. It may actually outperform PEO-based mixes (i.e. those with J-Lube or PolyOx) when conditions are dry (30%-45% humidity).
Brian's Lube Mix aka BLM [an additive for making giant bubbles]
This is not a bubble juice recipe per se. BLM is a polymer mix that turns water and dishwashing liquid into great bubble juice. See the full recipe here .
Jumbo Juice (giant bubbles and smaller)
Read the Jumbo Juice article for the recipe of one of the premier giant bubble recipes -- which is also great for small bubbles and bubble sculpture, too.
Bubble Power Powder
This is a convenient J-Lube based powder mix that you can make from J-Lube and citric acid. I make pre-measured packets that I can give to friends that want to make giant bubbles but don't have the precision measuring equipment needed to work with PEO or citric acid. -- Edward Spiegel.
See the recipe here.
Mike's "Gooey Mix"Mike Miller is the founder of SBF, the Soap Bubble Fanciers Yahoo Group whose beautiful videos speak for themselves. Mike recommends mixing this up as concentrate and mixing on site with distilled water. Mike has a lot of great video of his bubbles at his Bubble Project site.
Ingredients (for concentrate to be mixed with two gallons of water):
- 2 cups warm/hot tap water
- 2 cups Dawn Pro (Dawn Manual Pot & Pan)
- 7 grams baking powder (not baking soda)
- 4 grams J-Lube powder (see J-Lube note below)
Pre-measure your powders.
Into a 4-cup (1 liter) or larger container (Mike uses a 4-cup measuring cup):
Pour in 2 cups of warm/hot tap water.
Add the 2 cups of Dawn Pro
Add 7 grams of baking powder
VERY QUICKLY add 4 grams J-Lube powder and immediately stir briskly with a large fork creating a convection-shaped motion within the mix rather trying not to froth/foam the surface. Continue beating until there are very few clumps left. This will take a minute or two with a healthy wrist.
J-Lube J-Lube J-Lube. f J-Lube.
When Mike mixes this up, he pours the concentrate into a gallon jug and repeats the steps 3 more times to create one gallon of concentrate.
To make the bubble juice, add two cups of concentrate to one gallon of distilled water. (Edward notes: unless you have really bad water, you should be able to use tap water without ill effect).
Mike notes that the concentrate seems to improve with age for at least a few weeks. He typically mixes it up the night before a bubbling session and will turn the jug end-over-end, jiggle and shake the jug of concentrate to before going to bed and before making bubbles the next day to make sure that it is well mixed. He uses cotton piping cord for his tri-string loops and fabulous garland wands. He prefers Wright's 6/32 inch Cotton Piping Cord which can be found at Joanne's Fabrics among other places. Note: this cord is also available as Wright's 6/32-inch Cotton Filler cord. As such it is often available in the sewing needs section of Walmart.
NOTE: Do not worry about the white sediment that appears at the bottom of your container. It is totally normal in any mix that includes baking powder. Baking powder has a lot of corn starch in it. Corn starch is insoluble in room temperature water. The corn starch in baking powder (at least in the 3 brands that I have tried) is not even soluble in warm and hot water unlike "normal" corn starch. The sediment does no harm, and there is no benefit in trying to get it to incorporate into the mix.
Mike's "Stir-&-Go"
Mike Ashe writes: This recipe which I call "Stir & Go" is a variation of Mike Miller's "Mike's Gooey Mix" found at Soap Bubble Wiki. I did a LOT of experimenting to get these amounts just right.
- 1 gallon of HOT tap water
- .5 gallon of COLD tap water
- 1.25 cups of Dawn Professional Manual Pot and Pan detergent
- 2 level teaspoons of Clabber Girl double acting baking powder (Other baking powder should work too)
- .5 level teaspoon (1.5g) of J-Lube (see note)
- Fill bucket with 1 gallon of the hottest tap water possible. (Mark your bucket at this level for future mixes so you can fill directly from the sink)
- Sprinkle in the J-Lube as slowly as possible to avoid clumping while quickly stirring the water with a chopstick. (I use a coated/lacquered chopstick to keep the J-Lube from sticking and accumulating on it, you can probably use a knife or fork)
- Continue stirring for a minute.
- Add .5 gallon of cold tap water.
- (Mark the bucket at this level for future mixes)
- Pour in the Dawn and let it settle on the bottom of the bucket without stirring.
- Now, sprinkle in the baking powder while quickly stirring the entire solution. You may feel the solution thicken after a few stirs!
- Once all the baking powder on top has been mixed in, you're ready to make some awesome bubbles.
- Don't forget to pray for gentle and steady wind, high humidity, and no bugs!
: The amount of J-Lube you use may have to be adjusted. This recipe is based on full-potency J-Lube. The result will be a slightly string mix. The amount of J-Lube is about 8 times what we call the nominal minimum effective concentration (NMEC) of fresh J-Lube (see PEO). If your mix is not "stringy" (see the PEO article) at all you may need to increase the amount by 2-4 times.
HEC-Based Giant Bubble RecipeHEC-based recipes can compete with any bubble juice for any sized bubbles. Edward's favorite recipe for ideal conditions is one of the HEC recipes. Check out Edward's HEC-based bubble juice recipes. Another recipe to check out is Edward's HEC-PEO mix that he calls HECP.

There is a thread about this recipe on SBF.
Lionel's UK RecipeLionel Stanhope provides this recipe from London with ingredients easily found in the UK with the aid of Ebay. The recipe makes 9 litres. {C}Ingredients
- Tap water
- 200 ml Fairy washing up liquid [Lionel likes the yellow version]
- 40 ml Glycerin
- 20 grams KY Jelly
- 4 ml (just under 1 teaspoon) J-Lube powder
Pour 1 liter of tap water into a saucepan with a capacity of at least 2 liters and bring to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil:
- Add 7 liters of hot tap water to a 10 liter bucket.
- Squeeze in 200 ml of Fairy washing up liquid.
- Add 40 ml of glycerin and stir gently with a long-handled wooden spoon.
Now, the saucepan should have come to a boil. Turn off the heat. Gently stir 20 grams of KY Jelly into the water until it has completely dissolved. Your water will be slightly cloudy. Start stirring again and add the JLube powder (while stirring with the other hand). Continue stirring until the J-Lube has dissolved and the solution is smooth. Add 1 liter cold water to the water/KY Jelly/J-Lube mix and stir. The addition of the cold water will cool and thicken the mix.
Pour the contents of the saucepan into the bucket that contains the water/Fairy/glycerin mix. Stir to mix. Be careful to avoid creating too much foam (i.e. create as little as possible. This mix is ready to go as soon as it is cool enough to handle. The solution may thicken or get a little stringy over time. If this happens, add a little water to balance it out.{C}
Big Bubbler's "2005 Homebrew" Formula
Comments in this formula originally by Big Bubbler (This is a wiki so who knows who wrote it last :-))This is a complicated mix that makes very large and somewhat light weight bubbles. This mix uses pretty easy to find ingredients. This mix does not keep well once fully mixed up, esp. if used (dirty)(maybe a couple weeks if stored cool but not too cold). This was the best mix I knew of in 2005. I think better mixes are being figured out by the folks on this Wiki :-). {C} {C}
It is good to remember, when you have a good mix, You still need special air qualities for the really big bubbles. If your formula is one that is supposed to be good for big bubbling and does not seem to be working, it is usually an air quality issue. The answer to "What's the best formula?" depends on Wand Size and Material, the conditions of the bubbling site and your bubbling goals. If I say I think something works better, that means I think it makes bigger bubbles. Any big bubbling mix should also work great for small bubbles as they are easy to make.
When Proctor and Gambel (maker of Dawn and Joy) messed up the dishsoap formulas again (so our regular simple formulas quit working), we began to look for a new one. In 2005 "Ehud the Bubbleman" joined in the fun here in Oregon. He became somewhat obsessed with bubbling and with very open-minded bubble formula experiments. After hundreds of hours of testing my ideas and his ideas and those discussed on the Soapbubblefanciers Yahoo group, we came up with this formula that works well (even in light to medium rain)! This batch makes a pretty full 5 gallon bucketful: sorry, I don't have the metric conversions handy.
- 1 and 1/2 Gallons of steam distilled (only) or good quality very clean water
- 60 ounces Miracle Bubbles
- 40 ounces Super Miracle Bubbles
- 20 to 25 ounces Dawn Complete (Dishsoap), green or blue (Can be replaced with another P&G Dishsoap)
- 25 ounces Dawn Lift-Action, red (wildflower Medley) or Yellow (Can be replaced with another P&G Dishsoap)
{C}This, I call the base mix. This seems to store pretty well and so I wait to add other stuff until I'm within a few days of bubble time (where I will use it up).
The "lubes": {C}In advance, I mix up the "lubes" with another 2 gallons of water. {C}Some of the "lubes" need to be premixed a day or more ahead.
- 4 ounces Astroglide (personal Lubricant), purple box into one gallon of water. (Found in the unmentionables department)
- 2 and 1/2 ounces of Equate (personal Lubricant)(a walmart brand) into 1/2 Gallon of water. wallmart sucks and you may be able to substitute a pharmacy product called Surgilube.
- 6 to 8 ounces Light Karo Corn Syrup into 1/2 Gallon of water.
{C}Shake the lubes occasionally and before adding to the base mix. I often store a gallon or so of most of these premixed lubes for months without any noticible problems. The Karo Syrup is an exception as it does start to grow black stuff in the jug after a month or more.
The Beer: {C}Lastly, one beer. We use an 11 ounce "Full Sail Session" Lager (5.1% alch.) {C}The beer is not crucial, if it is not an option. Try your mix without it and then add it to see what you think. We think it helps.
Half as much Glycerine is often substituted for the corn syrup. "Mr Bubbles" bubble mix is often given higher reviews when compared to "Miracle Bubbles". My feeling is that the Mr. is a better product, however, it was not really available here in large amounts . I do not know if the 2005 mix would be better with the Mr.. Increasing the Dawn complete (while decreasing the Lift action) will make the mix more self-healing and better for bubble tricks. Useing a pure "powerful cleaning" type Joy or Dawn (no "Complete") is less forgiving but is best for making the biggest bubbles.
Adam's UK Recipe{C}
- 1800ml = Tap Water
- 150ml = Fairy Liquid (Green, Blue or Yellow)
- 100ml = Glycerin
- 10gr = Baking Powder
- 1gr = Xanthan Gum
- 1gr = Tylo Powder (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC)
- 0.4gr = Polyox (PEO)
Add the water and Fairy into a bucket. Sprinkle the baking powder while stirring the mix. Add 50ml Glycerin into a measuring jug or small bowl. Add all of the Xanthan and Tylo powders into the Glycerin while mixing with a spoon. Pour Glycerin and Xanthan/Tylo mix into the bucket while stirring the mixture. Add another 50ml Glycerin into a measuring jug or small bowl. Add the Polyox into the Glycerin while mixing with a spoon. Pour Glycerin and Polyox mix into the bucket while stirring the mixture and continue to stir for 3-4mins.
The string that I use with the above mixture is 7mm white 100% Cotton Piping Cord.
[EDWARD NOTES: Adam remarks that the Tylo powder is optional as his friend gets great results when omitting it. If you try this recipe, try with and without the Tylo powder and let us know what you think.]
Edward's Basic Recipe Sept. 2011[Notes revised May 2014]. This recipe makes a concentrate that you can dilute at anywhere from 3-to-1 to 5-to-1 depending on your preferences and conditions. Edward writes: This is a reliable juice whose concentrate is stable for years. In 2011, this was my preferred PEO mix though eGoo is my current favorite PEO mix. It is versatile and easy to mix up. It is a concentrate that you mix 1 to 3 with tap water. I measure out the ingredients for the concentrate by weight but often dilute by volume as the proportions are such that it makes no noticeable difference unless you are very sloppy when measuring out the ingredients. You can use as little as half as much or as much as twice as much PEO. Try it with a range of amounts and see what you prefer.
CONCENTRATE: The proportions I give here make about 8 fluid ounces of concentrate which is convenient for me when making up concentrate to give to friends. Simply multiply to make larger batches.
This concentrate is apparently quite stable. In May 2014, a friend found a bottle that I mixed up in Autumn 2011 and it worked perfectly. A question has been raised on SBF as to whether baking soda/citric acid may negatively influence shelf-life. This seems not to be the case as I have had mix that was left over after a session that worked fine more than one month later and concentrates that were fine after two months.
When diluted, this yields a solution that is 12.2 parts water to 1 part detergent and is .010% high molecular weight PEO. It also contains 1 gram baking soda per quart (liter) of water and .5 to .77 grams citric acid per quart of water. You will notice that I don't add any glycerine as I am finding that the amount of glycerine needed to benefit a dilute solution is so high as to be prohibitively expensive and the difference is pretty subtle when making giant bubbles outdoors.
- 13 grams BLM OR 10 grams 1% WSR301 solution OR 0.1 gram WSR301 OR 0.4 grams J-Lube
- 162 grams water (I used tap water)
- 69 grams Dawn Pro dishwasing detergent
- 1 gram baking soda
- 0.5 to 0.77 grams citric acid.
I sometimes add the baking soda to the water then add the PEO-containing stuff (BLM, WSR301, J-Lube, or whatever) then add the detergent and then add the citric acid. Sometimes I add the baking soda and citric acid together to the water and then add the other ingredients.
NOTE MAY 2014: This juice will work even better if you had 1/2 tsp baking powder per liter (or quart) of bubble juice) AFTER diluting it. Try diluting this at 4 to 1 (water to concentrate) or even 5 to 1) and compare to the recommended 3 to 1. PEO NOTE: As with all PEO-based solutions (that is that use PolyOx WSR301 or J-Lube), you may need to experiment with the amount of PEO as its potency changes over time.

HAKA Recipe
I have made ~1000 liters of this solution over the last 3 years. I found it on HAKA's website (they make the neutral soap) to which I added more details on mixing, which ingredients can be found in Austria/Germany, technical details about the ingredients and translated into German which can be found here.
Here are the instructions to make 10 liters of liquid for about 5€:
- 500g (fine or regular) granulated sugar, although powdered seems to also work (but is slightly more expensive).
- 25g wallpaper paste which contains Methyl cellulose. Avoid any special ones e.g. extra strength, etc. containing extra ingredients, just get the regular boring stuff. I prefer Henkel brand which is ~5€ for 125g. "Swing Decor" seems to also work fine and may be purchased at most hardware stores (e.g. Obi). It may also be possible to make your own, there are lots of recipes online, but I have not tried yet. Do NOT use OBI "Classic"!
- 750g HAKA "neutralseife" (neutral soap?). 5 kg costs ~19 Euro + shipping.
- 9L of regular tap water. Some bubble "purists" will say distilled water is important for bubble recipes, but from my testing there is zero noticeable difference, except that it's not free, is difficult to transport and it's not safe for human consumption (not that I recommend drinking bubble liquid, but when children play with this liquid, it's naturally better to have safe ingredients).
- 1L luke-warm water and sugar. DO NOT HEAT AND MIX. Mix until no more sugar particles. It should take about 5 minutes before the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add 25g of wallpaper paste. Mix for about 5 minutes until liquid is very thick and slimy.
- Add 750g of HAKA soap. Mix thoroughly until thick and creamy. I usually mix for about 5 minutes.
- Add ~8 liters of "regular" cold tap water (or until your 10L bucket is full). Mix thoroughly (and gently) as you add the water. A lot of foam will appear during this process, so it may be necessary to add some water now, let it rest for a few hours until the foam goes away, then add the rest of the water later.
- Let mixture sit for 24 hours.

Legacy Recipes
The recipes below are include for completeness. They create great bubbles and were among the first recipes posted on the wiki. They no longer represent the state-of-the-art, but they are still solid recipes.
A Basic Big Bubble Recipe (Edward Spiegel, June 2010)
This is a reliable big bubble recipe that seems to perform as well as (if not better) than many commercial big bubble formulations. The video clip shows bubbles created with this solution on a day when the conditions were not particularly conducive to bubbling (humidity 50% or less and quite a bit of wind). This bubble juice seems easy to use for first time bubblers.
NOTE (Feb. 2012): My current preferred recipe is the Sept. 2011 version found further down the page.
There are even better recipes out there, but this works great as you can see in the video.
- 8 to 12 cups tap water (I am on the SF Bay Peninsula which has pretty good water although the pH is about 9.1). I used 8 cups when brewing up the solution used in the videos. But I have found that you can use up to 12 cups of water. With the additional water, it can be a little trickier to get the bubbles to close. The colors may be somewhat better in the more dilute solution.
- 1 cup Dawn Ultra dish detergent
- 3.5 grams SurgiLube
- 1 gram J-Lube
NOTE: I have created -- per Brian Lawrence's recommendations on SBF, the Soap Bubble Fanciers Yahoo Group -- a pre-mixed lube solution that is 16 ounces water + 16 grams J-Lube powder + 2 oz (by weight) of SurgiLube). So, I actually added 33 grams of this premix to the solution. {C}You can probably substitute a KY-style personal lubricant (generic knockoffs are fine) if you can't find SurgiLube (which can be found at medical supply stores). J-Lube can be found on the web and at veterinary supply stores that provide supplies for livestock care (it is used as an obstetric lubricant for birthing horses and cows and the like).
This can probably be diluted somewhat more. I have found that reducing the lube quantities results in a solution that is a bit more difficult to bubble with. If you can't find the J-Lube or Surgilube, try using KY personal lubricant (which you can find in just about any large grocery store or drugstore). You might need to increase the amount of KY.
I will try to experiment with more readily available ingredients and post back the results.
A Simple Recipe That Creates a Lot of Bubbles with Small Wands
This recipe uses only ingredients that should be easy to find locally. Glycerin can be found at WalMart or Whole Foods and in most health food stores. This bubble juice is good but not as good as recipes that make use of J-Lube. It is appropriate for small wands and medium-sized rigid wands (with loops up to about 5 or 6 inches in diamater) and small to medium-size tri-string wands (tri-strings with top strings up to about 30 inches or so).
The concentrated, undiluted version of the recipe is really only appropriate for using with small wands (it is great with the little plastic wands that come in small bottles of bubble juice) as it is very very viscous and too messy for using with larger wands (and too expensize, too). But it is great with those small wands. You will get many many many very colorful bubbles per dip.
For using it with other types of wands and larger plastic wands, you can dilute the concentrate. When used as concentrate, it still creates many colorful bubbles per wand dip (around 20 per dip) when 3 parts water are added to one part concentrate. It will work even more dilute, but the bubbling ease degrades when more than 3 or 4 parts water are added. When used for the Small Wand Test this bubble juice undiluted produces more than 100 bubbles per wand dip. By comparison, Gazillion bubbles, a high-quality commercial solution, averages 20 to 30 bubbles for the same test. For the , Longevity Test the bubbles can last several minutes (compared to less than a minute for most commercial solutions). See it in action in this short video of the Small Wand Test SetupThis is not the best mix possible but it is a very good mix that can be made with ingredients found in almost any well-stocked drug store or supermarket. It can be a little messy because it is so viscous. So, it is best suited for use outdoors. {C}
Ingredients: equal parts (by volume) tap water, liquid dishwashing liquid (see notes below), glycerine, KY-Jelly personal lubricant (or a generic knock-off).
How you mix the ingredients is important. This recipe is very viscous and the personal lubricant needs to be well mixed for this recipe to work. It is easy to do -- just make sure to follow the direction.
- Measure the personal lubricant into your mixing container.
- Use very hot tap water and pour it into the mixing container that has the lubricant in it.
- Stir the mixture until all the lube is fully blended with the water. The solution should be uniform and fully integrated. If after a minute of stirring it isn't fully integrated, add 1/4 part hot water and stir. It is important that the lube fully integrated/dissolved. Add a little hot water and stir if it is still not integrated. The different brands of lubricant seem to require slightly different amounts of water.
- Mix in the glycerine and stir to fully integrate (without making the mix foamy).
- Mix in the dishwashing liquid.
About the ingredients
The dishwashing liquid. Dawn Ultra, Dawn Pro Manual Pot & Pan, and Non-Concentrated Classic Dawn have all been used successfully. This recipe will probably work with other dishwashing liquids, too, but I have not used any. If you use this recipe and find it successful, please let us know or add the information to this wiki.
The glycerine. As of June 2010, glycerine can be found at Whole Foods, Walmart, and at most health food stores. It is often much cheaper via online resellers than it is in stores.
The personal lubricant. KY-Jelly or almost any generic KY knock-off (I have used the generic brands found at Safeway, CVS and Walmart with equally good results. [NK DEC 2012 Edit: Make sure the lube has hydroxyethylcellulose as an ingredient.]
Bubbling Notes
This concentrate can be used within a few minutes of being mixed. It may improve somewhat with age, but it works great right after it is mixed. When diluted with 3 parts of water, it is still a pretty robust bubbling solution -- at least with small and medium rigid wands. At 5 parts water and one part concentrate, it will still work but it is a bit more finicky. It has been suggested that if you dilute the concentrate that it will improve if left uncovered for 24 to 48 hours although this has not been tested. So, the improvement may be mythical. This mix is a little brittle. It doesn't form long tubes but it is easy to bubble with, and you can do bubbles in bubbles with it.
When diluting the concentrate, use very very warm to hot water to make sure that the concentrate fully dissolves/integrates. The concentrate is very viscous. If mixed with cold water, it does not dissolve well (although it will integrate if left for a day or two and turned end-over-end a few times to mix). Try to avoid foam during dilution since foam gets in the way of making bubbles. If the solution foams up, scoop off the foam or let the foam subside (which can take a long time).
A Basic Recipe With Easy-to-Find Ingredients (for medium-sized wands)
This is another recipe (really just a variant of the one above) that is made with ingredients that are generally easy to find locally. If you are just getting started and don't have any J-Lube but you are dying to start making some bubbles with your new homemade tri-string wand, this will get you going. This solution will work better than non-premium commercial bubble mix (most people find it better than Super Miracle Bubbles but not as good as Gazillion or Amazing Bubbles). This will also work well in cheap bubble machines and with small plastic wands.
- 24 to 36 oz water
- 3 oz Dawn Manual Pot & Pan. [This can be found at Smart & FInal and janitorial supplie shops]. If you can't find Dawn Manual Pot & Pan, you can use Ultra Dawn or Ultra Joy, or (even better) Dawn that is marked as 'Non-Ultra' on the back. Dawn 'Non-Ultra' was discontinued a few years ago (this article is being written in Sept. 2010) but still is available in some dollar stores. If using an 'Ultra' detergent, don't use less than this recipe calls for. The ultra detergents don't see to behave as if they are more concentrated when being used for bubble solution.
- 3 oz. KY-Jelly Type lube. Use a generic knock-off such as those from CVS, Safeway, Walmart or Target. They work just as well as KY-Jelly for this use and are much cheaper.
- 1 to 3 oz glycerin [Note Nov. 22, 2011. You can probably leave this out. After a fair amount of testing out in the real world, it seems that glycerine has much less impact on the life of medium to large bubbles outdoors than it does on small bubbles indoors. The bubbles may last somewhat longer in some condition with the glycerin but it doesn't change how easy it is to make the bubbles. And in most cases, there is very little practical effect on bubble longevity when the glycerine is used when making medium to large bubbles.]
The measures above are by weight. However, you can use liquid measure if you don't have a good scale as the weight of 1 liquid ounce of these ingredients is fairly close to 1 ounce.
Mixing instructions: Use 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of hot but not boiling water. (You can use either very hot tap water or heat the water in the microwave). Mix the hot 1/2 cup of water with the lube. Stir vigorously until the lube dissolves/incorporates into the water. Add the detergent and glycerin (if you are using it) and gently stir. You don't want to foam up the mix. Put the remaining water in the bottle or container that you will use for storing the bubble juice. Now, add the detergent/lube/glycerin mix to the bottle cointaining the water. Put the top on the bottle and turn it gently end over end to mix the ingredients. {C}The bubble juice can be used right away, but it will improve if you leave it for a day or two--occasionally turning the bottle end over end--as the KY-Jelly takes a few days to fully hydrate and mix. Some people find that leaving the top off of the container for a few days also makes a difference.
Approx cost: $11 - $20 per gallon. Detergent $0.72 (9 oz). Lube: about $4.5 to $10 depending on brand (9 oz). Glycerine: $6-$9 (9 ounces)

The Whines
The Whines are a garage band from Portland Oregon with ties to Michigan and maybe also Alaska. They've released music on three great Portland-based labels:
1. Gnar Tapes (YACHT, White Rainbow, Meth Teeth, Lucky Dragons, Woolen Men)
2. Just For The Hell Of It (Talk Normal, Explode Into Colors)
3. Meds Records (imprint of excellent PDX record shop Exiled) released the Hell To Play LP in 2010.
Hell To Play was recorded in collaboration Rob & Rod from Eat Skull, and Kyle from Meth Teeth / Meercaz. This was one of my favorite albums of last year, and I'm not the only one (it was one of Ty Segall's favorite albums of 2010 too!) but despite getting great reviews in spots like Still Single I get the feeling that more people need to hear The Whines.
Lucky for us, they've kindly offered up three tracks from Hell To Play -- the basement anthem "Vacation," the Young Marble Giants-y "It's Raining," and the generally kick-ass "Cut Meat."

Will iTunes 11 launch today? It could well do, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Apple already announced it would launch iTunes 11 "before the end of November", and now there are only a couple of days left. So a launch today is pretty likely.
The Journal reported the new version of the music software "is expected as soon as Thursday."
Delays, delays
iTunes 11 was originally slated for release in October, but was delayed because Apple "wanted to take a little extra time to get it right," according to a company spokesperson.
Then Apple announced the software would launch this month. Apple spokesperson Tom Neumayr told CNET: "We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November."
Last week, a music distribution company called Feiyr asked musicians to submit photos to use in iTunes 11's redesigned Music Store. It said the software would be released "within the next few days."
Facebook and Twitter are expected to be integrated into iTunes 11. Which is interesting, given Apple has traditionally lagged behind when it comes to social media.
Apple's ill-fated music social network Ping will also be given the boot from iTunes 11. So don't expect Apple to ever mention it again.

A British-educated hotelier is feared to have been murdered on the Caribbean island of St Lucia.
The family of Oliver Gobat were reported to be waiting for confirmation that a charred body found in a burnt-out car on the Cap Estate, an exclusive resort area on the island, is that of the property developer and former Surrey junior cricketer.
The body was discovered hours after his family, who run a five-star boutique hotel on the island, reported him missing.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of reports and we are looking into them urgently."
Local sources are said to have identified the victim as Mr Gobat. He was born on St Lucia but was privately educated in Britain and worked as a property developer on the island.
Double Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson tweeted his condolences.
He said: " My love and thoughts go out to friends and family of Ollie Gobat. He was a gem and his family must have been so proud of him. RIP my friend. X"
BBC sports pundit and Olympic heptathlon gold medallist Denise Lewis also tweeted her condolences. She said: "Just read the shocking news about the death of Oliver Gobat. So very sad. My condolences to his friends and family. Such a lovely guy."
Sources were reported as saying the victim had been shot twice in the head before being doused with petrol and set alight.
A post-mortem examination is due to be held later.

Last October I went for a walk in Sighthill Cemetery on the outskirts of Glas-gow. Glasgow is a gloomy Victorian city of silent monuments in green squares and heavy stone buildings with streaks of damp trailing from their windows like tears. It was a time of year when one is very aware of Scotland's winter darkness closing in. Even at mid-day, in bright sunshine, a reddish haze hung in the air around the weathered, lichen-stained graves.
The oldest burials at Sighthill date from the 1840s, when it was surrounded by open hilly countryside. Today this grassy slope with its obelisks and pillars and swaying trees lies on the edge of one of the city's main eastbound arterial roads. It is surrounded by derelict industrial sites and overlooks the gray tower blocks, barbed wire, and broken glass of the Sighthill housing project.
Built in the 1960s as an experiment in social housing for the working class, the Sighthill estate is now, like similar projects in New York or Chicago, a ghetto for the socially excluded. On the ground floor of the buildings are the boarded-up premises of shops that closed long ago. Thousands of people live in these buildings, but when I was there the streets were nearly deserted. Paper trash blew here and there; a stray dog rummaged in a pile of garbage in the central courtyard. A heavyset woman in a pink tracksuit, ponytail swinging down her back, pushed a stroller with a tiny child inside. For many of the children growing up here, Sighthill graveyard will be the only countryside they will ever know.
The Industrial Revolution sprang from northern towns like this, but the slow decline of manufacturing in Britain left a long shadow on the region. Most of Britain's old northern industrial cities, such as Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and Liverpool, have high-rise slums like Sighthill, where as many as a third of workers may be unemployed, and two thirds of children leave school without passing their final exams. However, nothing about these places is so alarming as their death rates.
Life expectancy in places like Sighthill can be as much as ten years less than it is in well-to-do neighborhoods in the southern shires, such as Hampshire, Essex, and Hertfordshire. If Britain were divided into two nations, one containing the richer regions and the other the poorer ones, there would be nearly 80,000 more deaths every year in the poorer nation, equivalent to twice the number of deaths from lung cancer. This is what epidemiologists would ordinarily call a plague, and it is killing more people in Britain every year than AIDS ever has. Yet we barely even know it is there.
The difficulty in recognizing this hidden epidemic is partly due to the protean nature of the afflictions of poverty in modern industrialized countries like Britain. Compared to the rich, the poor in Britain are more prone to about eighty different causes of death, including stroke, diabetes, heart disease, cancers of the lung, bowel,…

By CALEB HANNAN, POLITICO
There are many ways to run for president, even when it's so early in the process that you don't want to actually appear to be running for president. Yet Texas Governor Rick Perry may have found a new one.
While the men most considered to be his fellow hopefuls in the 2016 Republican race bounce between the early-primary states, Perry has charted a different course. He's spent his fair share of time in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire, of course. But he's also paid multiple visits to a handful of states that would appear to have little to do with each other, and even less to do with winning a party nomination.
Since as early as February of last year and as recently as April of this one, Perry has made eight trips to six different states, all of which have one very particular thing in common: They're run by Democratic governors. Perry has used his visits to hammer on a consistent theme: Texas is a great state for business; the state he's currently in is not; so wouldn't it make sense then for all those companies that aren't currently located in the Lone Star State to correct their error? Earlier this month, Perry made plain the politics behind his accumulated frequent-flier miles. "Blue-state governors need to be looking over their shoulder," he told a Fox News panel.
Perry's focused national tour is built around a message that's tailor made for a presidential campaign whose central issue will likely be a lagging economy. The "Texas miracle," the idea that Perry's policies produced job growth in the worst climate since the Great Depression, first emerged in his initial failed campaign and has lived on ever since, buoyed by the fact that the state's unemployment rate remains below the national average. But as any number of progressive-minded opponents will tell you, that "miracle" is most likely due in large part to the state's wealth of fossil fuels. Hardly an advantage Perry can claim credit for. But tempting CEOs to relocate southward? For that he'll gladly take an attaboy.
Poaching companies is nothing new. States have been bad-mouthing and out-bidding each other for decades in the hopes of luring more business, often with little to show for it. But according to Greg Leroy, the executive director of Good Jobs First, a D.C.-based non-profit devoted to exposing what it considers the folly of government subsidies often given in the name of attracting companies, Perry's campaign stands on its own. "I've been covering this for 30 years and there's no precedent for what he's doing," says Leroy. "Nobody's been as aggressive. Nobody's done it as personally. He's really taking it to a new low."
Whether you believe Perry is simply doing what's best for Texas or using partially taxpayer-funded trips to launch a national campaign mostly depends on your affiliation. A spokesperson for Perry insists, "These trips are about competition for the best ideas." Texas Democratic Party spokesperson Manny Garcia naturally disagrees: "This is quite clearly a front to rebrand himself." Even those stuck in the middle realize the issues are intertwined. When reached for comment, Carol Sims, the director of the Texas Business Roundtable, said that she'd be happy to comment on Perry's attempts to lure businesses into the state but wasn't comfortable speaking about his "national political aspirations." When it was suggested that it might be impossible to talk about one and not the other, Sims agreed. "Yeah that's true," she said. Then she laughed.
Beyond how they might lay the groundwork for a future presidential campaign, though, there's a more fundamental question raised by Perry's trips. Are they actually doing anything for Texas? The War Between the States—the ongoing battle for businesses to relocate from one to another—has its roots in the Depression-era South, with flare-ups ever since. It usually follows a familiar pattern: A company expresses an interest in moving. States line up to offer them subsidies and tax breaks. And in the end, a politician has a press conference where they subtly, or not so subtly, take most of the credit.
The ideological fuel powering Perry's trips out of state says that, unlike the weather, that vague term known as a "business climate" can be engineered, and that no one's done a better job of parting the clouds than Texas. But Leroy and nearly a century's worth of data suggest otherwise. As does the most recent pelt in Perry's poaching tour, which also happens to be the biggest such prize in his political career.
Perry's odyssey began last year with a radio ad that played in and around Sacramento in advance of his first trip. "Building a business is tough, but I hear building a business in California is next to impossible," says Perry in a voiceover. "I have a message for California businesses: Come check out Texas." The ad set the tone for Perry's subsequent trips, which revolved around the reddest of red meat: guns and taxes.

Then I heard that this law was stopped in 97-98 when 9-12th grades were added in the private schools. We homeschool and plan to continue, and have heard that homeschooling teens was not allowed......, and maybe homeschooling period. Does anyone have any definites on this?? Does it depend on where you are from/religious background/etc.???

That is not a problem. Others homeschool thier children in Saudi Arabia. I had colleagues who worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines and others with SALTS (Raytheon) who homeschooled. You might find resources are a bit difficult to come by. No decent public libraries. Where are you going ? Jeddah probably is better for this than other places. pm me if you want to pick my brains about Jeddah or Dhahran. Be warned that KSA can be difficult for teenagers. Back to top CleopatraJoined: 28 Jun 2003Posts: 3657Location: Tuamago Archipelago Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2004 6:35 pm Post subject: Scot is right, KSA can be difficult for teens. there is little or nothing by way of public entertainment, particularly in riyadh. Also, the number of native English speakers has dwindled in recent years, so your kids may find it hard to get a wide circle of compatible friends. Teenagers are in a bit of an awkward position as they are no longer children, who are happy with all the sunshine and safety, and do not have the motivation which makes life in KSA bearable for adults. I don't want to sound too negative, but I do know of people who, though happy to have their kids inKSA when they were small, but sent them home when they hit the age of 12 or so,especially if they were girls. If you are going to be homeschooling your kids, they will be even more isolated. Perhaps you should consider all your options before committing to this?

Bright summer house situated in Costa Brava, Spain. Above this villa worked designer Marina & Co. That villa is made for summer season holidays couples
Bedroom in the interior has a pleasant tone of beige, bright fuchsia color and milky. Bathroom is connected to bedroom, a single quite handy for hot climates.
Bedroom modest size, but very thick and functional, the window has a semicircular shape, a window with a beautiful sight of nature and the beach.
The living room is a dining table constructed of firm wood, around the table or chairs that are constructed of wood. From the living space opens to a summer season garden exactly where breakfast can also be executed.
The street is a table, which is created for a joint vacation. The interior of all items created of wood, for example, stairs, flooring, and even a summer patio. The way holds tons of windows that appear out on the day-to-day sunshine.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a table. Kitchen built in classic mode. Function surfaces are constructed of wood and painted gray. In the inside of the complete residence uses a bunch of vibrant colors to produce a relaxing ambience, and soften the grain of the wood.
In the inside of the residence is filled with wooden objects. The centrifuge has been constructed of brick, with wood trim. Ceiling space decorated by wooden beams. All equipment in the interior constructed-in, which is actual pragmatic.
The living room is truly sensible, there is an exciting coffee table with wheels. Situated near the wall shelving. On a shelf is a wood stove in a hot nation, it is rather as an element of decor.

Leftovers and whatnot from Friday night's VHSCA All-Star football game, which saw some memorable and even unprecedented stuff:
When the West took a 21-0 lead with 7:56 to go in the second quarter, it seemed as good a time as any to research the biggest blowout in All-Star history. Instead, the fans at Darling Stadium saw the greatest comeback in the game's 41 years.
Helped by some obscure All-Star rules, the East scored two touchdowns in the final 3:53 of the second quarter and rallied for a 31-24 win. Hampton's Kavon Bellamy scored the game-winner on a 3-yard touchdown run with 37 seconds left in the game.
In fact, Bellamy's touchdown gave the East its only lead of the night.
It was sixth win in eight years for the East, which is now 21-20 in the series. It was also the third highest-scoring game in All-Star history.
For the West, everything turned on two rulings unique to the All-Star game. One was understandable; the other, well …
With just over four minutes left in the second quarter and his team leading 21-0, West defensive end Alex Figueroa recovered a fumble and ran it back 74 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, the officials ruled someone for the West (maybe Figueroa) had blitzed, which is against the rules in the All-Star game.
(That's the understandable one. You don't want anyone getting hurt in an All-Star game).
So the East kept the ball and scored two plays later. Instead of 28-0, it was 21-6 with 3:53 left in the second quarter.
But this where it gets really weird.
According to VHSCA All-Star rules, when a team scores a touchdown but remains at least nine points behind, that team gets the ball again. So after its touchdown that made it 21-6, the East was on the receiving end of the kickoff. The East scored again with 1:44 remaining in the half to make it 21-12.
So in 6-minute stretch, the East cut the lead from 21-0 to 21-12 without the West running a single play from scrimmage.
Just imagine: In baseball, a team winning by five runs or more doesn't get to bat in its half of the inning. Basketball becomes "Make It, Take It" when the margin is greater than 15 points. Soccer has to pull its goalie with a three-goal lead.
OK, I get that nobody wants a blowout, but nine points is ridiculously low. It also leads to an interesting strategy debate: Say you score a touchdown to make it 23-14. Why not botch the extra point on purpose so you can get the ball again?.
If the VHSCA is going to keep this rule, make it at least two touchdowns.
Four MVPs were picked — two each, offensive and defensive, from both sides. But the best player on the field Friday night was West quarterback Zach Deutel of Brooke Point High. In as efficient a performance as you're likely to see, Deutel completed 12-of-15 passes for 154 yards.
Deutel, who threw for 3,153 yards and 39 touchdowns as a senior, signed with Norfolk State.
The best night by a non-MVP went to Phoebus kicker Eric Enderson, a last-second replacement who was shifted over to the West by necessity. Enderson punted three times for a 49.3-yard average. He sent four of his six kickoffs into or out of the end zone for touchbacks. And he made a 52-yard field goal — one of the longest, if not the longest, in All-Star history.
It was also a special night for Bellamy, one of the few players who went both ways.
On offense, Bellamy carried only five times for nine yards. But two of those attempts went for touchdowns, including the game winner. On defense, he finished with seven tackles, two behind the line of scrimmage, and was named Co-Defensive MVP for the East.
Here's how some of the other locals did Friday night:
Lafayette's Thomas Smith scored the East's first touchdown on a 3-yard run and set up the game-winner on a 26-yard punt return. … Bethel wideout Rashawn Proctor caught two passes for 14 yards. … Phoebus linebacker Justin "Boom Box" Lyles had nine tackles. … Bruton's De'Arius Olvis had two catches for 60 yards.
Also, Jamestown's Rodney Smith sealed the East's win by intercepting Motley in the end zone on the game's final play.

Both PRIMALITY – deciding if an integer n is a prime and FACTORING – representing an integer as a product of primes, are algorithmic questions of great interest. I am curious to know what is known about these questions over general number fields. A major difference there is that there is know unique factorization to primes. Let me repeat here a question that I asked over TCS-stackexchange.
What is known about the computational complexity of factoring integers in general number fields? More specifically:
0. Over the integers we represent integers via their binary expansions. What is the analogous representations of integers in general number fields?
1. Is it known that primality over number fields is in P or BPP?
2. What are the best known algorithms for factoring over number fields? (Do the and the (apparently) algorithms extend from ?) Here, factoring refers to finding some representation of a number (represented by n bits) as a product of primes.
3. What is the complexity of finding all factorizations of an integer in a number field? Of counting how many distinct factorizations it has?
4. Over it is known that deciding if a given number has a factor in an interval is NP-hard. Over the ring of integers in number fields, can it be the case that finding if there is a prime factor whose norm is in a certain interval is already NP-hard?
5. Is factoring in number fields in BQP?
Motivation and updates: The question (especially part 5) was motivated by this blog post over GLL (see this remark), and also by an earlier TCSexchange question. Lior Silverman presented in the comment section below a thorough answer.

Seems like my product reviews and Tricks Of The Trade are quite popular. Going over 2008's statistics, these were the most popular posts of mine this year (some were not written in 2008)
I have no idea how many people have gone out and bought (or avoided at all costs) the products I covered after reading my review, but I do know how many thousands of people have looked at them this year.
1) DiNotte 200L review
I tried pitching Rob Skaff at DiNotte to see if I could try some other DiNotte products on a review basis only (i.e. I would even send the demo units back) He never responded. This was far and away the most popular page on this site in 2008, particularly after the Daylight Saving Time switch-over.
2) Park Tool MTB-3 review
I bought the first one, and Dave got me a replacement after mine got stolen. It's come in handy on my own commute, as well as for helping others on the road side. I don't leave home without it.
3) Genuine Innovations Ultraflate review
Most of the problems I had with the Ultraflate are no longer an issue with the Ultraflate 2. I should probably do a follow-up.
4) Make your own studded ice tires
I'd only recommend doing this if you live somewhere that you won't actually ride directly on pavement for a sustained period of time. They work great on ice and hard-pack snow. They don't do any better than knobbies on loose snow, and they're down-right wretched on pavement. While it had a lot of hits for the cold season early in 2008, this posts's popularity has skyrocketed again in the past couple of weeks, boosting it to #4.
5) Mac Luv
Okay. I have no clue why this one keeps getting consistent traffic. It gets hit several times per day from image search engines.
6) Banjo Brothers Saddlebag review
The initial review was good, but later on, I started having a lot of problems keeping the seams from pulling apart. I still have them, but rarely use them. They've been to the seamstress a few times to get repaired.
7) Bontrager Hard-Case Tire pseudo-review
Conclusion: Good for commuting, bad for racing.
8) From the readers: Cold weather gear
This is a relatively new post that took off in popularity after I wrote it. A lot of people search for cold weather cycling attire, apparently.
9) Drying your grimy shoes
I had something to do with this, as I posted about it on CommuteByBike with a link to this post. That's where most of the traffic came from
10) My 1-year commute-a-versary post
Sadly, most of the hits come from people looking for weight loss from bicycle commuting. I didn't lose any significant weight in 2008. I came into 2008 a Clydesdale, and I'm going to leave 2008 a damn-near-clydesdale.

Okay, so have you done a search for "macbook wallpaper"? Your image shows up on the web results on google ahead of all the standard serps and you are in the top 5 when you click the image search.
So, you've used perfect link text and repeated the terms "mac" "macbook" and "wallpaper" in the body *and* it's a cool pic. This is why you are getting consistent hits for your Mac Luv post. The only thing that might bump you higher would be to change the title tag, H1 to have the phrase "macbook wallpaper" and also add that to the alt text for the mbook.jpg image.

On my personal blog (non-bike related blog), I have a huge hit count generated from google images:
So I posted a somewhat humorous entry about a cop and his beloved cow (in more ways than one) and it usually comes up number high on the results for google images. Not sure why.

Feel-good travel.
From relaxingly comfortable to positively dynamic in character. For those who wish to combine agility with driving comfort - this is the ideal solution.
From relaxingly comfortable to positively dynamic in character. For those who wish to combine agility with driving comfort - this is the ideal solution.
The V-Class uses the best of what Mercedes has to offer. The M274 is a well proven and tested turbocharged petrol engine known from other models. With a delivery of 211 Hp and 350 Nm it delivers great performance with optimum efficiency.
The sports suspension is designed to deliver a high level of driving dynamics and will thrill with its tight suspension tuning, palpable agility and dynamic cornering capability. Its racy characteristics, which make it highly suitable for long-haul trips, differ noticeably from those of the standard comfort suspension due to the deployment of frequency-selective damping. As they have been lowered by 15 mm, vehicles with sports suspension have a lower centre of gravity and optimised roadholding.
Power is transmitted by the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission with 7 gears providing an optimum drivetrain for great performance. Comfortable cruising or pure driving dynamics – the DYNAMIC SELECT Switch facilitates both. The various modes allow the driver to adjust the character of the vehicle as desired: Whether the emphasis is on comfort, sporty performance or efficiency, with the tap of a finger the parameters of the 7G-TRONIC PLUS and the engine can be adjusted to achieve the desired driving experience.
The AGILITY CONTROL suspension with selective damping system adapts the damping characteristics to the road conditions and driving situation. It provides a good balance between driving comfort and agility by varying the rolling, damping and stabilising characteristics to suit the road surface and driving conditions. By continually scanning the surface, the road roar and tyre vibration characteristics are improved where there are small bumps; and where there are bigger bumps, the effectiveness of the vehicle's damping and stabilising functions.

An Irishman died and went up to the pearly gates and was met by St Peter.
"Before you can come in here you have to answer three questions. Because you are an Irishman I will give you the questions now and give you some time to go away and study up the answers.
The first question is - How many days of the week start with the letter "T"?
The second question is - you have to give me the christian
name of the swagman in the ballard, Waltzing Matilda."
Third question, the hardest, you how many seconds are there in a year?
Irishman, "Thanks, no worries I will come back with the answers soon."
Irishman came back a bit later, "St Peter I have all the answers.
St Peter, "Okay, how many days of the week start with the letter "T"
Irish "Thats easy, two, today and tomorrow.
St Peter; "Okay Ill give you that one, what is the answer to the second question - the christion name of the swagman?"
Irish - "Too easy, to be sure, it is Andy."
St Peter - "How did you work that out"
Irish - "Well when youi listen to the song they tell you his name; Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till his billy boiled.
St Peter, getting frustrated - "Okay, I'll have to give you that one to, but I bet you cant tell me how many seconds there are in a year."
Irish- "It took me a bit of time to be sire, but I worked it out, the answer is twelve.
St Peter - "Twelve, how do you work that out?"

Re: Joke of the Day
Proud young Mum has her first baby and after the delivery awaits the Doctors first report on Bubs!
He says "Mary, we have one small problem but otherwise he is fine"
"Please Doctor tell me the worst. I am strong and will love him no matter what"
Doc says "He doesn't have any legs"
"OMG" says Mum. "..but thats OK, I will look after him and help him to walk in life. Is that all?"
"No" he says softly, "the poor little chap has no arms either"
"Oh no" Mum cries "But Doctor, it doesn't matter, I have so much love for him that it will see him through the hard times ahead"
The doc is obviously still shaken and adds "But the worst is still to come. Baby has no trunk. In fact there is just a single head!!!!"
"Oh dear God above" shrieks Mum "why oh why did it happen to my poor baby? But Doctor, I know we can get through this together. My love for him is so strong, nothing will stop me looking after him"
"That is truly admirable Mary" says the Doc, "I feel sure I can now tell you the second worst part in the confidence you can cope with it"
"What" shrieks Mary, "what the hell else could be wrong with my precious child? No arms, no legs, no body, just a head on the pillow!!"
"Mary, I want you to be very brave for I have to tell you that in fact you have given birth to just one ear! Thats it, nothing else"
"Oh cruel world, thjis is not possible" she sobs "what has my baby done to deserve only being an ear. My love alone will help him through what is going to be a sad and miserable life. Nothing else matters!"
Doctor says "Ah Mary, you are the brave one that is for sure. Now I can tell you the last wee problem we have with baby ear"
"No! No! No! How can life be so cruel. What is it now"
"Ah Mary, the poor wee chap is deaf!"

Re: Joke of the Day
Old drover staggers into the outback pub one cold, windy and rainy night. He orders a double rum from the bartender and settles down by the fire. The barman says "hey mate, bit of a bad night to leave your two dogs outside. Bring 'em in and let them stay by the fire"
The drover opens the door and yells out "Here Carver, here Ironmonger, inside boys...... come here!"
Both dogs come inside and gratefully relax by the fire. The barman says "you know, they are really weird names for a couple of cattle dogs. Carver and Ironmonger. Why do you call them that?"
"OK, I'll show you if you like. Come here Carver. Sit Boy sit!"
The old drover takes a huge piece of ironbark timber from beside the fireplace and throws it to Carver.
"Here boy, kangaroo, kangaaroo!"
Carver attacks the wood and chunks of timber and splinters go everywhere. Everybody is truly amazed when out of this Carver produces a first class wooden statue of a kangaroo!
"Man, that is unbelieveable" say the barman "If he can do that then what does Ironmonger do?"
"Just watch mate" says the drover heading off to the fire and pulling a red hot poker from the fire.
He bends over the sleeping Ironmonger, lifts his tails and prepares to shove the poker up the dogs A**se.
"God in heaven mate, don't do that please!" says the barman "do you know what will happen if you do?"
"Sure do son" says the drover. "He'll either make a bolt for the door or a spring for yer balls!"

This guy walks outside to get a newspaper when all of a sudden he sees a great big ape on his roof. at first he doesn't know what to do but after a while he decides to get the phone book out and call the nearest animal shelter. a half an hour passes and the animal shelter sent one of their men down which finally shows up in his truck.
In the back he has his dog, a ladder, a big long stick, a gun, and a pair of handcuffs. the man brings all of this stuff out of his truck and the man with the ape on his roof asks, "what is all this stuff for?" the man replied, "i'm going to climb up the ladder onto the roof. i'm going to swing the stick at the ape knock him off the roof, where my dof is trained to bite it in the nuts, and thats where you handcuff the ape." then man thinks about what he just heard and asks the man, "Well, what do we do with the gun?" the other man replies, "just in case the ape knocks me off the roof, shoot my dog."

Re: Joke of the Day
Bubba died in a fire and his body was burned pretty
badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the
body, so his two best friends, Daryl and Gomer were
sent for.
Daryl went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet.
Daryl said, "Yup, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him
over." The mortician rolled him over, and Daryl said, "Nope,
ain't Bubba."
The mortician thought that was rather strange. Then he
brought Gomer in to identify the body. Gomer
took a look at him and said, "Yup, he's burnt real
bad, roll him over." The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, "No, it
ain't Bubba."
The mortician asked, "How can you tell?"
Gomer said, "Well, Bubba had two a......."
"What? He had two #######s! said the mortician.
"Yup, everyone in town knew he had two a........ Every
time we went to town, folks would say, Here comes Bubba with them two a.........

"I'm going to Rome to become a papal bull," said one.
"I'm going to be a stock market bull,' said another.
"I want to be a bull in a china shop ," said the third.
"Well I'm not going anywhere," said the fourth.

One night they go to a party. The man decides that its time to go home, and he wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, shall we go home, Mother of Six? His wife irritated by her husbands lack of discretion, shouts back, anytime youre ready, Father of Four!

A man is driving down a country road when he spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what are you doing?"
The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the man, puzzled.
"Well I heard they give the Nobel Prize to people who are out standing in their field."

Archival Page—Content Superseded
Foresight Institute Adopts New Mission
The proposals described on this page were developed in late 2003 and announced in Foresight Update 53. The proposals below, however, were eventually altered after leadership changes and as a result of a reevaluation of Foresight's strategic plan that was done during the second half of 2004. Recently, Foresight announced a new mission. For more details, see About the Foresight Nanotech Institute and the Foresight Nanotechnology Challenges. If you would like to contribute to specific projects and initiatives that Foresight is developing: see Foresight projects for directed giving. To personally experience Foresight in action, attend Foresight's next conference: Advancing Beneficial Nanotechnology: Focusing on the Cutting Edge, 13th Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology.
The initial goal of Foresight Institute has been achieved: the potential of molecular nanotechnology and its applications are broadly understood by a large number of people. Next comes Stage 2: Implementation—making molecular nanotechnology (MNT) happen sooner rather than later.
Activities to Meet Objective
A three-pronged appoach of independent but related efforts will be pursued: Direct Research, Legislative Action, and Community Building. These are worth doing as stand-alone actions, but multiply if done simultaneously.

UPDATE: AMPTP Rejects Today's SAG Overture
It was released to the SAG board today and sent to News Corp (Fox) No. 2 Peter Chernin, Walt Disney Co CEO Bob Iger and the Big Media cartel's negotiating clique AMPTP president Nick Counter. Both Chernin and Iger took personal roles in settling the writers strike. Here's the letter:
Dear Gentlemen:
We believe it is clear that our members would fail to ratify your proposal of June 30, 2008. It would serve no productive purpose, therefore, to send our membership a proposal that SAG's National Negotiating Committee and National Board have rejected and that our membership would not ratify.
It is our fervent hope that this news will encourage you and your colleagues to reengage in formal bargaining, with the exchange of proposals and compromise by both sides necessary to reach an agreement.
Our discussions with you and many of your colleagues since formal talks ended have educated both of our teams about our respective priorities and flexibilities. As we have said to SAG members members, if we can reach agreement on three threshold issues, we believe we can finish these negotiations. One issue you brought to the table: force majeure protection for actors held by contract to a suspended production. Two issues we have identified as core principles: coverage for all new media productions (including those below $15,000/minute) and residuals for made-for new media productions re-used on new media. Other issues divide us, certainly, but we believe those other issues can be successfully addressed once we have resolved these three threshold issues. We have approached these contract negotiations reasonably and with a realistic and informed view of the state of the industry.
We are prepared to meet formally and continuously until we reach agreement. We owe it to our constituencies and the thousands of others in this industry that depend on a productive, stable and uninterrupted relationship between Screen Actors Guild and the networks and studios.
The alternative to reaching an agreement as soon as possible is unnecessary and destructive uncertainty. If your intransigence continues, however, our choices become harder and fewer. We would prefer the more complicated and productive choices that compromise will make necessary. But we can't make those choices that lead to agreement working alone.
What do you say; when can our committees meet face-to-face?"

National President National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator
