Gas duster
|This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. (July 2011)
Gas duster, also known as canned air or compressed air, is a product used for cleaning electronic equipment and other sensitive devices that cannot be cleaned using water. Despite the name "canned air", the cans actually contain gases that are much easier to compress into liquids, such as 1,1-difluoroethane, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. Hydrocarbons, like butane, were often used in the past, but their flammable nature forced manufacturers to use fluorocarbons. Some people believe referring to the contents as "air", compressed or otherwise, could be dangerously, even fatally misleading, if someone regards the contents as being safe to breathe in concentrated form.
A gas duster is usually used to clean or dust delicate items or to reach difficult areas. Gas dusters are particularly useful for ventilation fans and electronic heat sinks, which collect dust readily and are otherwise very difficult to clean. The gases themselves do not leave residues on sensitive equipment; however, the bitterant added to prevent abuse leaves a residue, making gas dusters an inappropriate choice for cleaning anything users will come into contact with such as keyboards. They can create static electricity[1] unless a specific ESD-safe compound is added.[citation needed]
The can must be held upright during use. Inverting, tilting or even shaking the can during use may result in the un-evaporated liquid being forced through the nozzle instead of the gas. The liquid will boil away almost instantly outside the can, producing extreme cold in the process. In liquid form, the contents of the can will act as a solvent, causing unwanted damage to surface coatings or labels, this is generally only a problem with optical lens coatings. Side effects of the intense cold can also cause problems due to localized condensation.
When the top is pressed down to open the valve, gas flows out through the nozzle. The pressure inside the can therefore drops, and is no longer sufficient to keep the contents as a liquid; so some of the liquid boils, until the equilibrium pressure is re-established.
The vaporization of a liquid is endothermic; thus, heat is absorbed. Continued use over a short period of time results therefore in the reduction of the can's temperature. As the temperature drops, the vapor pressure of the liquid also drops, resulting in decreasing force of the gas at the nozzle. When the force of the ejected gas at the nozzle is insufficient to accomplish anything useful in terms of dust removal, and the temperature of the can reaches the boiling point of the liquid (that is −25 °C (−13 °F) for difluoroethane) near atmospheric pressure, the liquid no longer evaporates into gas in any useful quantity. The can must then return to room temperature before it will again provide sufficient gas flow. Alternating between two cans (allowing one to warm while the other is being used) is one way to work around this problem during an extensive dusting job. Warming the can with a heat source can be dangerous as the can may overheat and explode.
A related category of product has an internal dip tube that reaches to the bottom of the can, so it sprays the liquid. It evaporates very quickly, chilling items it touches in the manner that dry ice (solid CO2) would. These "chill spray" cans are used to troubleshoot malfunctioning electronic equipment.
Since gas dusters are one of the many inhalants that can be easily abused,[2] many manufacturers have added a bittering agent to deter people from inhaling the product. (That reference misuses, or did misuse "air" in its summary description.) Because of the generic name "canned air", some people mistakenly believe that the can only contains normal air or contains a less harmful substance such as nitrous oxide. However, the gases actually used are denser than air, and inhaling can lead to paralysis, serious injury or death.
Though not extremely flammable in gaseous form, many dusters use a fluorocarbon that can burn under some conditions. As such, there is also a warning label present on some gas dusters. When inverted to spray liquid, the boiling fluorocarbon aerosol is easily ignitable, producing a very large blast of flame and extremely toxic byproducts such as hydrogen fluoride and carbonyl fluoride as a combustion product.
Fluorocarbons, although they replaced the older set of more flammable hydrocarbons, can still combust relatively easily, e.g., by holding a source of fire (such as a match or lighter) to the escaping fluid. They do, however, have a lower chance of exploding in a closed container by means of spontaneous combustion.
The liquid, when released from the can, boils at a very low temperature, rapidly cooling any surface it touches. This can cause frostbite on contact with skin. As the can gets very cold during extended use, holding the can itself can result in frostbite.
Since gas dusters are often contained in pressure vessels, they are considered explosively volatile.
Environmental impacts[edit]
Global warming: Difluoroethane (HFC-152a), trifluoroethane (HFC-143a), and completely non-flammable tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) are potent greenhouse gases. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global warming potential (GWP) of HFC-152a, HFC-143a, and HFC-134a are 124, 4470, and 1430, respectively.[3] GWP refers to global warming effect in comparison to CO2 for unit mass. 1 kg of HFC-152a is equivalent to 124 kg of CO2[4]
Ozone layer depletion: Gas dusters sold in many countries are ozone safe as they use "zero ODP" (zero ozone depletion potential) gases; tetrafluoroethane, for example, has insignificant ODP. This is a separate issue from the global warming concern.
Off Label Uses[edit]
Many gas dusters contain HFC-134a (tetrafluoroethane), which is widely used as a propellant and refrigerant. HFC-134a sold for those purposes is often sold at a much higher unit price, which has led to the practice of using gas dusters as a less expensive source of HFCs for those purposes. Adapters have been built for such purposes, though in most cases, use of such adapters will void the warranty on the equipment they are used with. One example of this practice is the case of airsoft gas guns, which use HFC-134a as the compressed gas. Several vendors sell "duster adapters" for use with airsoft guns, though it is necessary to add a lubricant when using gas dusters to power airsoft guns.
True "air dusters" using ordinary air are also available in the market. These typically have much shorter run times than a chemical duster, but are readily refillable. Both hand pump and electric compressor models have been marketed.

147,000 Processors Used for Atom-by-Atom Simulation of Nanoscale Transistor
Using 147,000 processors for 15 minutes from the Jaguar system (a Cray XT5) at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, "a simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers."
"Professor Klimeck and his colleague have demonstrated the unique transformational scientific opportunity that comes from scaling a science application to fully exploit the capabilities of petascale systems like the Cray XT5 at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility," Kothe says.
Freely available nanoelectrics software (OMEN) was used from nanoHUB.org to do this simulation. I am curious about how else this could be applied. What other nanostructures might we be able to simulate in this way?

Because I write about beer, certain people sometimes feel compelled to make a joke when they see me enjoying a cocktail or glass of wine.
My stock answer is usually, "It's my day off." Or if I'm feeling sinister, "Haven't you heard? I hate beer, now!"
Of course, I'm an omnivore when it comes to both food and drink. It's true, I rarely crave sushi or chardonnay. But I'm equally happy with oysters and champagne or steak and ale.
When it comes to beverages other than beer, red wine and bourbon top the list. And if I meet a favorite vintner or distiller, my own little joke is that I wish their products were as good a bargain as the best beer.
I didn't try that one on Julian P. Van Winkle, III, the third generation scion of Kentucky's celebrated Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery.
Van Winkle's tiny, family-run operation produces a wondrous line of carefully
crafted bourbon whiskey that's become famous for its complex oak-aged flavors. And because it's so expensive and hard to find, the February issue of Fortune magazine declared Old Rip Van Winkle bourbon — also known as Pappy Van Winkle's — "the ultimate cult brand."
Van Winkle will be in Atlanta for a series of presentations and a dinner at Parish during the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, May 19 — 22. During a recent phone conversation, I told him I was a member of the Pappy cult and asked him what he thought made his family's bourbon so special.
"We use wheat instead of rye," Van Winkle said. "That makes it softer and smoother and it ages a little more gracefully. It doesn't pick up as much wood and char in the barrel, so a bourbon that's 15 or 20 years old that's made with wheat versus rye is going to be pretty different."
There are 12-year, 15-year, 20-year and 23-year bourbons among the most beloved Pappy vintages. As with all bourbon, corn is the main ingredient. But beyond wheat, long, controlled aging is the secret.
"Older bourbon is just something I like and something our family has always produced," Van Winkle said. "My granddad produced a 10, a 12, and even a 15. I just kept pushing the envelope into the 20-year and people have enjoyed that."
Van Winkle, who speaks in laid-back tones as soft as his whiskey, seems both pleased and perplexed that craft brewers have become a major part of the Pappy cult.
Brooklyn Brewery's Garrett Oliver was an early adopter, aging several groundbreaking beers in Pappy barrels. And Van Winkle said he'll be joining Oliver at Eleven Madison Park in New York City to taste a special Pappy-aged beer brewed by Brooklyn for the restaurant.
"There are major differences in barrels," Oliver recently told me. "The Van Winkle 20 year barrels are very floral, not the big vanilla and coconut punch of Makers, for example. I'm fond of the Woodford barrels, which are complex."
Here in Atlanta, Red Brick brewer Dave McClure is a big Pappy fan, noting the surprising number of brewers who have won Great American or World Beer Cup gold medals with Pappy barrel-aged beers.
"I'm trying to learn more about beer," Van Winkle said. "This beer thing has gone crazy. It's really popular and it's really interesting. Every day I seem to get an e-mail from a brewer looking for old barrels."
While Oliver, McClure and other brewers swear by the rare barrels, Van Winkle wonders aloud if it might just be another manifestation of the Pappy cult.
"I'd like to see the difference between, say, a Maker's Mark barrel and a Pappy barrel aged with same beer," Van Winkle said. "That would be fun to try."

I had the Peachtree Pale Ale aged in an oak barrel a couple of years ago at TM Metropolis. It was way better than I thought. Some tell me the barrel aging is a fad and will go away. I hope not.

Great article Mr. Townsend. I enjoyed reading it. Is there any other way to purchase his bourbon in Atlanta besides attending the dinner? Also, out of curiosity, how much are his bottles?

I like pappy. Drinking beer conditioned in Pappy barrels and seeing how they were so much better than other Bourbon aged beers is what got me to drinking Pappy and whiskey in general.
A great and lower priced Pappy option is the 10yo cask strength version.
Mac McGee in Decatur is a great place to try out various whiskeys. They have a couple hundred to choose amongst and you can create your own flights.

I am a Boourbon drinker. I lover Bourbon and the complexity and imagination that comes with different distillers. Recently I tried the Pappy 23 yr old. This is the smoothest tastiest Bourbon I have ever had. Mr. Van Winkle is absolutely correct when he says the char and wood tastes are downplayed. I really got a good caramel and even vanilla taste.
I have many bottles of Bourbon that I consider sipping Bourbons. However my 23 yr old, is one I will define as a tasting Bourbon. I want it to last forever.

Another member of the Pappy cult for sure. The 15 year old offers the best bang for the buck in my opinion, but the 23 is a glorious thing. Here are some notes on making a variation of the Old Fashioned with Pappy 15: http://www.thirstysouth.com/2011/01/25/playing-with-the-pappy-old-fashioned/

Kevin Mirallas hopes he and Romelu Lukaku can use their understanding on the pitch to become a lethal goalscoring duo.
Mirallas assisted Lukaku's dramatic winner at West Ham after the striker himself had played the winger in earlier in the move.
With Newcastle arriving at Goodison on Monday, he hopes Lukaku will be keen to return the favour!
He told evertontv: "Monday will be difficult because Newcastle are a good team but we are at home and we want the victory.
"It was a good assist for my friend Lukaku but maybe on Monday he will assist for me!
"I feel we have a good understanding. He is my friend off the pitch and so on the pitch it is normal that we have a good understanding because we have been playing together for five years [for Belgium].
"Newcastle have good players like Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Cisse but at home we will be strong.
"To play at home is very good because the atomosphere is fantastic and the people here are unbelievable."

Q&A: How can I get rid of cradle cap?
My daughter has severe cradle cap. The doctor said that it will go away soon, but it looks awful. Is it uncomfortable or irritating to her? Is there anything I can do to make it go away immediately?
I certainly sympathize with your frustration, and only wish there was something that I could tell you that would make cradle cap go away immediately. But unfortunately, cradle cap—which is often likened to baby dandruff (and sometimes referred to as cradle "crap" by frustrated parents)—seems to be a fact of life for babies. Medically speaking, the greasy scales that characterize cradle cap are described as seborrheic dermatitis, a condition which does usually go away on its own in a matter of weeks to months. While it can be quite bothersome for parents, it fortunately does not tend to cause babies any irritation or discomfort.
While I often have told parents they need not do anything but just wait for cradle cap to go away, as a parent I fully understand how disturbing it can be when one's otherwise beautiful baby "looks awful"—whether it's due to significant cradle cap, baby acne, or any other relatively harmless but quite noticeable skin "disturbances" of infancy. Even though it's not technically necessary to do anything for most cases of cradle cap, many parents find some degree of improvement (and therefore relief) by simply using baby shampoo and/or baby oil or petroleum jelly to soften and loosen up the unsightly scales, followed by the use of a soft-bristled brush to help get rid of some of them.
In the event that your baby's cradle cap worsens or does not improve, or should you ever have additional concerns, it is always worth following up with your baby's doctor. Depending on the severity of seborrheic dermatitis, additional treatment may be warranted and/or further evaluation recommended to rule out some rare but potentially more serious causes.

Sadly, I had my tubes tied since this was my third bout with pre-e. My dh and I agreed that it would be the best decision concerning my health. Now that Ella is almost 5 months, I am wanting this not to end. That is normal, right?
We were at church and I started talking about how I was looking forward to having 4 and now that I cannot, I want to adopt. Dh said that he was feeling the same way. So, we are going to wait a year just to have the honeymoon of her be over, although with Lainey it took until she was 2 for me to think that I should not have more and by then Ella was born (she is just a wild spitfire). So, we are starting to look into adoption. Anyone else in my boat?
Actually, we are looking at foreign adoption. Before we had children, we both had a burning desire to adopt a girl from India. Anyway, when I mentioned adoption to dh again, he said, now we can get our girl in India. So, that is what I think we will do.
Am I just hormonally reacting to this? Does anyone else feel this way?

This is my all time favorite, go to "recipe" for cupcakes. You can use this "trick" to make a box cake mix taste like "from scratch"
- 1 box mix (any flavor*) – but get the good kind, Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (use butter not margarine….trust me on this!)
- 1 cup of water
- Melt the butter in the microwave.
- Add cake mix, eggs and water to the butter in large bowl.
- Mix on low for 1 min. Then mix on high for 1 min.
- You will be amazed that your batter is nice and thick and creamy - not thin and runny like it is when you follow the box instructions.
- Fill cupcake papers – tip: use an icecream scooper! – One scoop is just the right amount per cupcake!
- Pop them in the oven on 350 for 20 minutes.
- Let cool.

Movie theaters are pushing 3-D screenings and fancy new amenities to justify higher ticket prices, but experts say there are still bargains at the box office.
Given the choice between seeing a movie in a regular screening or 3-D, more consumers are opting for the latter -- and are paying a premium of $3 to $4 over the regular ticket price, says Jeffrey Logsdon, an industry analyst for BMO Capital Markets. When a movie is shown in both formats, 3-D represents half of ticket sales, up from 40% in 2010.
IMAX movie showings, which carry a roughly $5 price premium, are also rising in popularity, he says. In fact, not counting 3-D screenings, the average price of a movie ticket nationwide actually dropped during the first three quarters of 2011, from $8.06 to $7.96, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners.
Experts say the high-tech showings are part of a broader industry trend to turn a movie outing into a fancier experience, replete with cushier seats, gourmet concession offerings and special events. Ironically, such offerings are becoming more popular because consumers have been cutting back in recent years, making the trip for fewer films and spending less at the concession stand, says Agata Kaczanowska, an industry analyst for consulting firm IbisWorld.
"Theaters are looking to have wider profit margins per customer," she says. A better experience, even at a higher price point, may be attractive to moviegoers, she says.
But industry experts say bargain hunters still have plenty of ways to cut the bill for their movie habits. Here are six:
Monitor the market. Nearly six months before "The Dark Knight Rises" arrives in theaters on July 19, some locations are already selling (and quickly selling out of) special IMAX tickets for a midnight showing. Enterprising buyers are offering the tickets -- which originally sold for about $20, depending on the theater -- online at eBay and Craiglist for upward of $100 apiece.
But Kaczanowska says there's no need for diehard fans to pay a premium, since more midnight showings are likely to open up as the release date gets closer. "If theaters see a demand for seats, they could definitely increase the number of screens," she says. Post continues below.
Join the group. Half-priced movie tickets have become a common offer on Groupon, LivingSocial and other daily deal site competitors. In November, Google Offers had a deal for a large popcorn and two movie tickets to Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, worth up to $39, for $14. Lion's Gate also tried a Groupon for 54%-off showings of "The Lincoln Lawyer."
Expect more of the broad ticket deals and few, if any, of those specific to one movie, Logsdon says. Unless the movie is a dud: "Maybe it takes that promotional push to get people in," he says. But experts say consumers should read the offer terms before buying, since many group deals expire quickly or require all purchased tickets to be redeemed in one transaction.
Buy in bulk. Theater chains and warehouse clubs offer multipacks of tickets and concession-stand vouchers for less than the going rate. A 10-pack of AMC Gold Experience movie tickets costs $83 at Costco, for example, cutting roughly 35% from the box office price. Daily deal sites may be helpful here, too. KGB Deals recently had four Fandango.com tickets for $24, half the going rate.
But buyer beware: Moviegoers can't always use such deals during the early weeks of a movie's release, and they don't cover the surcharge for 3-D and IMAX screenings.
Visit on bargain days. Theaters have traditionally offered matinee tickets at a reduced rate, but more properties have begun experimenting with other discount offers on less-trafficked days, says Patrick Corcoran, director of media and research for the National Association of Theatre Owners. National theater chain Cinemark, for example, offers reduced prices every Tuesday. On the flip side, some theaters charge a slightly higher price for peak Friday and Saturday night visits.
Check out independent theaters. Indie theaters are more likely to have unique touches like fancy food or seat reservations, says Logsdon. And prices can be cheaper, especially at so-called dollar theaters. Of course, the trade-off is that the movies on offer may not be the big box office hits, or could be a month or two old. At Cinemark Movie 10 in Plano, Texas, where prices start at 75 cents, current movies include "Happy Feet Two" and "Moneyball." 3-D showings cost just $3.75.
Watch from home. Studios and cable companies have begun experimenting with video-on-demand offerings as soon as 30 days after a movie appears in theaters, Kaczanowska says. Last fall, for example, Universal Pictures made "Tower Heist" available to select Comcast subscribers three weeks after it debuted in theaters, for $60. An earlier DirecTV test made some movies available for $30, 60 days after their release in theaters. "It's a good opportunity for consumers to have some friends over and watch the movie together," she says.
But the offerings aren't yet widespread, as studios try to figure out how to attract viewers without losing box office revenue, she says.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration has announced dates it plans to cut funding to 149 contract air traffic control towers - including five in Georgia.
Federal officials Wednesday announced funding will be cut to the Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon and the Athens-Ben Epps Airport on April 21.
Funding is slated to be cut at McCollum Field in Kennesaw, the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport in Albany, and the Gwinnett County Airport in Lawrenceville on May 5.
FAA officials say airport operators have the choice to continue operating as a non-towered airport, or continue providing services as a non-federal control tower.
Automatic spending cuts have moved the agency to close contract air traffic control towers in an effort to meet a federally mandated $637 million budget cut.

The frigid temperatures of La Crosse, Wisconsin provided all the research and development we needed to begin manufacturing Pac boots many years ago. However, the blizzard of 1985 made us rethink our single felt lined Pac boots as we revolutionized the Pac boot industry by launching the Iceman, our very first double lined Pac boot.
Some may believe that glory and fame comes with securing your name to a patent, however that's not why we do it. For over 115 years, we have focused on developing innovative footwear, not for gimmicks or recognition, but because we are passionate about developing innovative solutions that matter.
The Onalaska is a revolutionary lightweight pac boot design featuring our innovative Ice Shield technology where 13mm of foam compresses to 4mm to provide insulating warmth alongside waterproof and abrasion resistant protection.

The research project focused on both the input and output sides of the market for potatoes. The LiSFaMe project was a collaborative effort between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Potato Centre in Ecuador, the Fundación PROINPA in Bolivia, the American University in Washington DC and the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands. The last decade has witnessed profound changes in farming systems and the way in which agricultural production is organized in many developing countries. These changes have led to new organisational and institutional arrangements within the food marketing chain such as new forms of contracts (pre-established contracts versus spot markets) as well as the imposition of private grades and standards for food quality and safety.Agro-processing and market integrationThe net effect of the increased agro-processing and market integration on the welfare of poor people is controversial as it can be twofold. On the one hand increased commercialisation shifts farm households away from traditional self-sufficiency goals and towards profit and income-oriented decision making. On the other hand the process may exacerbate poverty levels through marginalization of the rural poor.Commercialisation of agricultural produceThe increased commercialisation of agricultural produce could also have various negative effects on the environment. In particular, there are concerns over an increased intensity of natural resources use, biodiversity loss through the genetic erosion of local varieties and the intensification of chemicals used for agricultural production.Commercialisation and the environmentThe effects of increased commercialisation on the environment and on the welfare of small potato farmers were analysed in Ecuador and Bolivia. The Andean region is ideally suited for such an investigation because it is the point of origin and centre of genetic diversity for a number of important crops, particularly potatoes. Moreover, Andean agriculture relies on a resource base that is somewhat fragile because of its topography. Large indigenous populations live in this region with widespread poverty, particularly in rural areas. The research project is innovative in its aim to examine the impact of agro-processing on the functioning of agricultural markets, household welfare and environment. In addition, the role of markets in maintaining the sustainable utilization of Crop Genetic Resources (CGR) is also analysed for the case of Bolivia.

Once of my favorite things lately is just listening to the boys. When they are playing together (nicely) or when they are being creative when playing by themselves. It is fun to listen to them use their imaginations and hear what stories they are coming up with. Love these two!

It's been awhile...
It has definitely been a long time. I miss blogging and writing.
I was looking through the past 8 years tonight on here. I LOVE having this as a memory place. A place to record my thoughts. Pictures. Birthdays. What I have been up to. What our family has been up to.
I think I'm going to start posting more regularly. :)
There is NO way I'll be able to catch up the previous 9 months in a day.
Alex turned 3
Evan turned 5
Alex started full day preschool
Evan started Kindergarten
Mike and I celebrated our 12th engagement anniversary. :)

Becoming a member of Lemondroppers...Young Livings Oils
Let's talk about becoming a Young Living Member, don't go into complete panic attack! This is painless...I promise! When I first started trying to figure out the whole Young Living oil thing, my brain wanted to explode. But Lindsay walked me through what to do in her blog post. I'm going to do the same today in case you wanted in on these amazing oils!!
First, you are not signing your life away if you become a member. If you would like to purchase Young Living Oils, you can do so by ordering retail from a distributor, OR you can "become a Member" and get the oils for 24% off. Notice I said member. Young Living may use the terminology "distributor", but never think of yourself as that unless you are WANTING to do the business. If you DO NOT want to do the business, then think of yourself as a MEMBER. Once you buy your starter kit (which I'll explain in a bit), you are NEVER required to buy a certain amount each month. You are NEVER required to tell others about Young Living. You are NEVER bothered by people to work this as a business (if you are email me asap!!) :)
You simply are able to purchase the kit and oils at a discounted price. Think of it as a Sam's Club or Costco membership. You pay a small fee to to become a member to get cheaper prices for a great product. The only thing different is Sam's or Costco will give you a card, Young Living gives you a kit of oils and a free diffuser!!
This month, October, they released a BRAND NEW starter kit....with a whole lot more...AND they kept the PRICE the SAME!! Let me show you!
The kit I recommend is the Premium Everyday Oils Kit for $150. It is the kit of all kits! There are other options to choose from, but I PROMISE you that this is the most bang for your buck.
It comes with the following:
5 ml bottle of these 10 Essential Oils: Valor, Lavender, Panaway, Peace and Calming, Peppermint, Lemon, Purification, Thieves, Joy, and Frankincense.
What I LOVE about this kit is that it gives you the opportunity to try MANY of the oils in a smaller bottle. Let's face it...Frankincense at the DISCOUNTED price is almost $70.
Along with those 10 oils, you also get a Stress Away Roll on and 10 Sample Packs of oils (Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Thieves, and Peace and Calming), OH...AND there is MORE!!
You also get the DIFFUSER!!!!!!!!!! ALL for the SAME PRICE!!!
Ummm....excuse me! What!?!! Yep!
The diffuser now comes in the kit and the distributor price alone is $75.
Total no brainer! This is why I recommend the 150$ kit.
You can not beat getting 11 oils, 10 samples, and the diffuser for that price.
The other two kits they offer are the $40 kit and the $75 kit and neither of those make sense to me. The $40 kit comes with the samples but NOT the diffuser or 10 oils. The $75 kit comes withe the diffuser and samples and stress away but does NOT come with the 10 oils. My problem with the $75 kit is you have the diffuser, but only the stress away to diffuse...so you will need to get more oils anyway to be able to ACTUALLY use it! The larger kit is just the best deal. :)
The other advantage you have by becoming a member is special access to The Lemondrop Lounge Facebook group. This is NOT put out by Young Living. This is simply a place where are readers who have become members can communicate with one another, share what is working with them, ask questions, and build relationships with others who are on this journey to a more healthy and natural lifestyle. This group will help cut your searching time down and and get your questions answered quickly. At the beginning of August, our group was about 4,500 members. As of October 1st, our group is 8,300 members!
Now that you are not freaked out about becoming a member...let's sign up!
Step 1: go to https://www.youngliving.com/signup/?site=US&sponsorid=1423528&enrollerid=1423528
Step 2: make sure "Young Living Independent Distributor" is marked off instead of "Retail Customer." Independent Distributor means "member" to Young Living and it's the only way to get access to the kit and the 24% discount you get afterwards. It's really important!
Step 3: make sure my member numbers are in the blanks (they should be put there if you entered with that link in step 1) 1423528
Step 4: Fill out all the information. It will ask you for your ss# but this is only for legal purposes so that you have the ability to sign others up for kits too (YL is a referral based business). If you never sign anyone up, your ss # will never be used.
Step 5: Make sure you write down your pin, user name and password when you choose it because you'll need that in the future to log into your account.
Step 6: Select the "PREMIUM START LIVING KIT" This is the one with the everyday oils kit and the diffuser and the start living kit. It will be $150. The other kits do not include the oils kit.
Step 7: Click "Agree" and "Next"
Step 8: Add any oils, capsules, or products that you would like in addition to your kit if there are any.
Step 9: Check out.
Whoot! You're done! Please let me know if you need my help and I hope you're as excited about this as I am. Thanks! Also, there is no minimum needed each month or anything. When you order the Premium Kit, you'll always get 24% off future orders.
While you are waiting for your kit to arrive, head on over and read How to use your Essential Oils!!

Kindle Touch compared to Nook Simple Touch, Kobo Touch, and Kindle 4 – Marco.org
Kobo might have played third fiddle to Amazon and Barnes & Noble in the e-reader space, but those strings will soon carry a different tune — the company just announced it's being acquired by Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten for $315 million. Though Kobo's stock was distributed a few different places (founding Canadian retailer Indigo had a majority, and defunct bookseller Borders famously had 11 percent), Rakuten has agreed to buy up the lot, giving the Japanese company a line of e-readers, tablets, ebook software and an estimated 5.6 million users to call its own. (via Kobo purchased by Rakuten, the Amazon.com of Japan | The Verge)
Completely and irreversibly out. Kobo, who had been running the backend from the start, are now the front-end brand on the Borders ebookstore.
Rats desert a sinking ship before the sailors know there's a leak.
Well, it's about time. Can't help but think this'll be overshadowed by BN's announcement tomorrow and, you know, Borders' ongoing bankrupcy.
Kobo eReader Touch Edition at Borders!
Was that supposed to be a joke? I believe the answer there is: "Uh, hell no."

Hi Lovelies,
So I got this pretty darn cool T-Shirt from my amazing brazilian friend Samira back in CT. I never wore it though due to it being kinda big on me. Now I had some time on my hands and I decided to reconstuct this T-Shirt to make it more custom and fitting. And if your're interested in refashion one yourself I worte down a tutorial and took some pics so you can easily do it yourself as well!
So let's get started. You'll need:
- Old baggy T-Shirt
- Fabric Scissors
- Tailors Chalk
Step 1
Draw a curve running one inch off the collar and cut it off using the fabric scissors.
Step 2
Fold the back of the shirt in half. I used a folder to mark the stripes evenly.
Cut even strips about an inch wide from the top to the bottom. Gradually get wider towards the bottom. Pull the stripes individually to form string.
Step 3
Use a pillow or two to stuff in the Shirt. This will make braiding easier. You could also use cardboard or a (if you have one and if you do I'm pretty jealous) mannequin. The top strand goes over the bottom and you pull the bottom strand through and continue like this with all the strings. You could also twist the strand before pulling the next one trough to create a different pattern. You can do this as often as you want to create a unique pattern. The last strand has to get cut in half and knotted on each side to secure the braids.
While cutting I cut trough a couple of strands by mistake. But that's not a big deal just knot them back together and in the end you just cut off the excess fabric from the knot.
Step 4
Cut off the sleeves and youré basically done. You will have a tank top. I didn't like the look of it so I twisted the sleeves and now I like mine way better but that's up to you.
I would love to see how yours turn out. Leave a comment with a link to your results :)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These ceremony programs are beautifully elegant; just the way I imagined and wanted them. The designer was so patient in fixing all of my wishes and the finished product is PERFECT! I'm so happy! I will definitely use and recommend Wedding Paper Divas in the future!"
"I ordered this program along with the Rustic Wreaths menu, place card and thank you note, all in the color Almond. Since I ordered the other ones as plain signature matte, I thought I'd try this one with the Pearl White Shimmer. It's absolutely gorgeous! It adds something special to this design, just lovely. I'm going to order this suite for my wedding day, and in all pearl shimmer. The paper quality is nice and thick and the design is perfect for our day.. rustic and to me feels a little bit French. Very happy with this product :)"
"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."
"It took a minute for me to figure out the format, but I am not a computer savvy person. I changed the font and color of the print with no effort! Th paper quality was a surprise. I thought it would be on simple printer paper, but it was a card stock. I was in a little bit of a hurry and the programs arrived the day before the predicted date! Wonderful!"
"I love this beautiful vintage look and to have the ability to include pictures inside! One thing that would have been helpful is to have preset questions inside the program for those of us who are unsure how a program really is supposed to look!"

Minneapolis/St. Paul

Washington, D.C.
National Survey Ranks Riverside/San Bernardino as Least Caffeinated Metro Area
Norwalk, Conn., Jan. 13, 2009 –The second annual HealthSaver Caffeinated Cities Survey, commissioned by HealthSaver, a national emerging health care discount service, found that Riverside/San Bernardino is the least caffeinated metro area in the country compared to 19 other major American cities. In 2007's survey, Riverside/San Bernardino was ranked No. 10 in the least caffeinated category. Tampa ranked No. 1 as the most caffeinated city.
In addition, respondents in Riverside/San Bernardino are the most likely to say they are consuming less caffeine than a year ago.
The survey shows the most popular form of caffeine consumption for Riverside/San Bernardino is energy drinks, ranking No. 2 for admitting to drinking them daily.
The HealthSaver 2008 Caffeinated Cities Survey, released today, was conducted to determine the caffeine consumption habits and attitudes of consumers across the U.S., and to learn more about cultural views and health benefits of this morning pick-me-up, afternoon alert booster and late-night indulgence.
"With the advent of rich, high-end coffees, soaring popularity of energy drinks and national fascination with green tea, our HealthSaver Caffeinated Cities Survey has brewed up some very interesting trends, findings and results," said Brad Eggleston, vice president of HealthSaver. "This groundbreaking research is an important tool to help educate about the health benefits of moderate caffeine consumption in the United States."
The health benefits of caffeine are plentiful and well-documented in numerous studies in recent years. Coffee and tea, in particular, have emerged as good health food sources that can lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, colon cancer, and cirrhosis of the liver, as well as lift your mood, treat headaches and even lower risk of cavities. Caffeine also enhances athleticism, endurance and performance, according to health care experts.
"Even though at one time coffee was considered harmful to your health, at this point there is no compelling research to indicate that, in fact, is true." said Dr. Peter R. Martin, Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology and the Director of the Institute of Coffee Studies, Vanderbilt School of Medicine. "Newer studies actually prove coffee in moderation is good for one's health."

The wife of a hiker found dead in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix says the Pinal County Sheriff's Office all but ignored the vital information she provided during the search.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports that Tonya Hensley criticized the sheriff's office during a recent county board of supervisors meeting.
The body of 34-year-old Christopher Hensley was found April 19. He had set out for a hike four days earlier.
Hensley says she contacted Superstition Search and Rescue on April 18 after she grew frustrated with the sheriff's search and rescue team. The Superstition team found him within hours of starting its search.
A sheriff's office spokeswoman says the Pinal County team had searched the bottom of Superstition Mountain up to Flatiron Peak several times, as well as other areas where the team thought Hensley could have gone.

Witness the Tragedy of the World's Last Reader With The Twilight Zone

Oregon, Washington File Briefs In Support Of Same-Sex Marriage
By Chris Lehman
SALEM, Ore. – The top state prosecutors in Oregon and Washington have filed briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage. The high court is expected to take up the cases later this month.
The first case involves an effort to strike down California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage. The second case involves efforts to overturn the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, both Democrats, called bans on same-sex marriage unfair and discriminatory. They've joined attorneys general in about a dozen other states in filing the brief on behalf of those seeking to overturn the bans.
A Supreme Court ruling could have broad implications for people in both states. Washington voters approved same-sex marriage last year, but those marriages aren't recognized by the federal government or in most other states. State constitutions in Oregon and Idaho only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.

"Nothing" can sometimes be a slippery slope to disaster, and especially when "nothing" means gossip and slander, as it does in William Shakespeare's sparkling comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing."
The Metropolitan Library System and Reduxion Theatre present four free presentations of the play through April 21 at various MLS locations around Oklahoma County.
"The play is about two sets of lovers," said Dana Morrow, MLS Director of Outreach Services. "One pair is very much in love, so much so in fact that they have a hard time articulating their passion. The other two, the more famous ones, are Benedick and Beatrice, who constantly snipe at each other, cynically putting down the concepts of love and faithfulness." They indulge in a classic battle of wits."
All performances are free and open to the public. For more information, please call 606-3833.
"Much Ado About Nothing" is co-sponsored by Reduxion Theatre, Oklahoma Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts

APGA's Public Gas Policy Council Nomination Form
Fields marked with * are required.
The PGPC is an advocacy group APGA created that is made up of elected and appointed officials from public gas communities. Locally elected and appointed public officials have a strong, persuasive, and authoritative voice in Washington, D.C. with their elected representatives in both the House and Senate. Having a core group of elected officials carry the public gas message to Congress has significantly strengthened APGA's advocacy efforts. The primary purpose of the PGPC is: (1) to assist APGA in moving legislation forward that is important to its members, (2) to oppose harmful legislation, and (3) to provide advice on other legislative related issues of importance to APGA. The group also serves as a forum for elected officials to discuss public gas issues.
To be eligible for appointment to the group, an individual should be a member of a governing board of a utility that is a member of APGA or an elected official (i.e., mayor or member of city council) from the utility's service territory. The PGPC meets annually in Washington D.C. in the spring. The 2014 meeting is scheduled for May 6th and 7th. During this time, the PGPC will meet with key members of Congress and the executive branch. The 2013 meeting included a reception in the Capitol Hill, briefings by key congressional staff, and over 50 meetings between PGPC members and congressional offices. The deadline for submitting nominations is December 31, 2013.
