eSalon Custom Formulated Hair Color Reviews
Total Beauty Collection ProductI received the Free Trial offer in the Collection. I did the hair analysis, and they sent me the hair color. This is THE BEST hair color I have ever used.

Hair ColoringHorrific! Hair results: Peroxide look as if poured peroxide and sat in sun. Hair EXTREMELY dry and brittle; now using castor oil to restore. The girl was very cordial when I contacted her in the midst of using product due to problems. Therefore I would say thus far customer service is good....depending upon if I receive results from this evenings' emails to eSalon regarding my disappointment. The product; however, I will not purchase again. — 2 days, 7 hours agoveronica_martin | 1 reviews
Great service and awesome productE Salon completely lives up to what they claim in their ads.

Skin cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the skin cells. According to the latest statistics available from the American Cancer Society and the CDC:
In the U.S. alone, more than 2 million Americans will be diagnosed in 2013 with nonmelanoma skin cancer, and about 76,690 will be diagnosed with melanoma.
Although exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays is said to be the most important factor in the cause of skin cancers, only a little over half of American adults use sun-protection measures.
Most skin cancers appear in older people, but skin damage from the sun begins at an early age. Therefore, protection should start in childhood to prevent skin cancer later in life.
In addition, consider the following statistics from the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology:
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of cancer worldwide.
Melanoma incidence rates are 10 times higher for whites than for African-Americans. People with dark-pigmented skin can develop melanoma, particularly on the palms of the hands, on the soles of the feet, under the nails, and inside the mouth.
Melanoma accounts for less than 5 percent of all skin cancer cases, but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths.

Great apartment in convientnet location
Literally around the corner from the train station, but not noisy.... Nice residential area with small restaurants and shopping nearby. You can easily walk to old town Ljublyana in 15m, or take the bus. Ljublyana is a delightful small city with great restaurants and attractions. And the garage parking is very convenient. Quite a change from other apartments we have rented in Europe, either you are on your own or they have a garage spot across town you can use. Because of the easy parking and proximity to the train station, this is a great jumping off point for day trips. We drove to Lake Bled and thru the Julian Alps in a day and took the train to Celje ,great town, on another day. We also rented Mirjam apartment in Piran which was very nice. Miriam was very helpful. Bottom line you can't go wrong with Mirjam and one of her apartments.

I cannot tell you how I agonized trying to justify spending this amount of $$ for a blender. (We are, after all, in a recession). I am a frugal shopper and so considering buying a VitaMix was a big decision. I did my homework, though, and the VitaMix kept beating out the competition, so I took a chance. However, any doubt or guilt I had was long gone once my VitaMix arrived. I use it almost daily. I have made soups, smoothies, etc. I now eat kale, more fruits and veggies, and things I'd never have touched before. I feel better, my weight is better, and I don't crave junk food. I feel nourished and healthy! Cleaning it is a breeze. (Something I hated about a juicer I'd had before). You just fill it halfway with water and add some dish detergent and turn it on. It all rinses out easily. It is big, but I just put the pitcher away and leave the base out if I need things to look less cluttered. The other thing I love is the fact that if I have any foods that are getting soft, etc. they just get tossed in. I waste next to nothing now. It has definitely saved on my food bill. If you're stuck on whether or not to get this, just think of the money you'll save by investing in your health. Prevention is the best medicine. I'd recommend the VitaMix to anyone!!
This appliance is the one piece of equipment that cannot leave my countertop as it is in use many times per day.
I am a raw foodist while my son is meat & potatoes, so it's important that I manage both menus and that we can eat at the same time. The convenience and time saving aspect of the Vita-Mix is so impressive that I wish everyone could own one!
Cleaning is a snap!
If I had to find a down side to it, I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind it being quieter when on high speed, but when I demand that performance from my car, it's not any quieter either..lol
Best kitchen investment I've ever made!!!
If you are looking for one exceptional, versatile kitchen appliance, do yourself a favor and purchase a Vita-Mix. The sky is the limit on the number of ways you will find to use it every day, and it makes the best smoothie you could ever want for breakfast! A great value, and the manufacturer really stands behind their product with a 7-year warranty.

I LOVE this blender! I needed something for making apple cider with the last couple of bushels of apples from our orchard and didn't want to fire up the cider press. I worked this blender really hard right out of the box. The power of this blender is great!
The Vitamix is amazing. I love it. Everything I hoped it would be. I mainly use it for juices and smoothies and am so impressed. I love that I am able to get every last bit of nutrients out of all the fruits and veggies now that I have a vitamix.
I was intimidated by it the first time, but it is easy to use.

Go Back
Most people send out cards between Thanksgiving and New Year's because they think that is the holiday season. But every movie fanatic knows that the holidays really start at the beginning of awards show season. And it all kicks off this weekend with the Golden Globes.
The Golden Globes are the biggest, glitziest booze fest that brings together stars of film and television. So dust off those tuxedos, get out your Jenny Packham dresses and drape yourself in Harry Winston diamonds because it's award season and black tie is not optional.
Like a red carpet in a sea of black ties, brands look to stand out this time of year. And we don't just mean designers and luxury goodie bag fillers. Every actor also has a personal brand. And actors are given the chance to showcase it every time they sashay on stage for an acceptance speech.
They may convey their unique brand personalities and individual voices in the tone of their speeches and the way they communicate. Often, they use this platform for personal messaging as well. Sometimes, winners will deliver politically charged acceptance speeches or highlight a social cause related to their films' themes. Think Sean Penn for Milk.
So, while everyone else out there is making predictions about who will be going home a winner, we decided to take it a step further. We wanted to predict not only the winner, but to try to imagine the voice and messaging of those who might take home a trophy on Sunday. What will they say? How might they say it? Sure, the people we would love to see win might not go home with gold, but even if they lose, they'll still look really fabulous.
Let's start with Tom Hanks, nominated for a Best Actor Golden Globe for his incredible performance in Captain Phillips. On Twitter this award show veteran's voice is playful, engaging and unpredictable. It's not a surprising brand voice from Mr. Hanks, and it is one that makes whomever he's speaking to really feel like they are a part of his life.
Buzz and Woody say Happy Christmas all! Hanx http://t.co/qZYRx5TRWz
— Tom Hanks (@tomhanks) December 20, 2013
Buzz and Woody say Happy Christmas all! Hanx http://t.co/qZYRx5TRWz
So when we went back to look at past acceptance speeches, we were surprised to see that the voice of the Tom Hanks we know and love on Twitter didn't come across at all. His Oscar speech for Philadelphia was lackluster, the first three minutes were very functional, running through a laundry list of industry folk he wanted to thank. Overall, his brand voice was fairly bland. But then his message rose to the surface, concluding with a moving speech about the devastation of AIDS, elevating the message of the film. When he accepted for Forest Gump, his speech felt very generic, lacking any sort of individuality.
However, we predict this year, should he win, Tom will speak and act in line with his recent rebrand via Twitter because everyone knows a good brand is a brand with a consistent voice. Moreover, in the decades since those wins, Tom has come into his own and created a more authentic, confident voice that shall rise to the top. Fingers crossed we find out on Sunday!
Moving on to another red carpet regular, Sandra Bullock. After years of playing less than meaty roles and establishing a relatable girl-next-door personal brand, Sandra burst onto the awards circuit in 2010 with Golden Globe and Oscar wins for her powerful performance in The Blind Side.
In both of her acceptance speeches, self-deprecation (Did I really earn this or did I just wear y'all down?) and a sprinkling of playful wit (Meryl – you know what I think of you… and you're such a good kisser) helped her stay true to her brand and only increased her likeability. She also linked her film's themes of family and motherhood with her own personal messages of gratitude for her loved ones, all while consistently conveying a down-to-earth sense of humor. Should Sandra win for Gravity this weekend, we're confident she will show us that engaging balance of accessibility and sincerity that will keep us rooting for her as awards season rolls on.
Now, continuing on the topic of likeable ladies, let's look to the younger generation. Jennifer Lawrence tripped her way up the stairs and into America's (and apparently, film critics') hearts at last year's Oscars. Since then, the J.Law brand has only grown stronger. Known for her easy attitude and rather blunt brand voice, Lawrence refreshingly tells it like it is with an approachability that wins over audiences.
Go away Jennifer!!! Haha 🙈 👅 pic.twitter.com/tDnGbXnZwR
— Jennifer Lawrence (@ImJenLawrence) December 11, 2013
Go away Jennifer!!! Haha 🙈 👅 pic.twitter.com/tDnGbXnZwR
But, Jennifer also demonstrated a bold confidence that set her apart when she opened her Golden Globes speech with "What does it say? I beat Meryl?" Like Sandra, Jennifer also balanced self-deprecation (Harvey – thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today) with authentic and personal expressions of gratitude to the people that helped her get on that stage.
Her acceptance speech at last year's Oscars was heartfelt, but not quite as humorous as at the Golden Globes, which makes sense given the more formal atmosphere and the fact that she had just taken a rather embarrassing tumble. If she wins a Golden Globe for her supporting role in American Hustle this weekend, we predict she'll maintain her sincerity but sprinkle in a little more sass.
One actor who's a bit of a wild card in the acceptance speech category is Bradley Cooper, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for American Hustle. Snubbed last year for both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Silver Linings Playbook, we haven't seen him on stage accepting an award at a major show yet. And as a celebrity, he doesn't have a clearly defined personal brand (No, 2011 Sexiest Man Alive doesn't count) – which may partially be a result of the diversity of roles he takes on.

— Dateline NBC (@DatelineNBC) January 10, 2014
More bromance tonight at 8/7c RT @tvnewser: Willie Geist and Bradley Cooper's Laughing Fit: http://t.co/MVSIa40uHS
We took a look at his acceptance speech for his 2013 MTV Movie Award for Best Male Performance to get a sense of what we might have in store. Interestingly, at one of the most casual award shows out there, Bradley didn't capitalize on the opportunity to showcase a unique sense of humor or witty charm. Instead he used his speech solely as a platform to message a profoundly serious call to action regarding posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Looking ahead to this weekend's Golden Globes, given that Bradley's role in American Hustle may not have an obvious link to a social issue or personal cause, this acceptance speech may be an opportunity for him to bring his personal brand to life a bit more, and we hope we get the chance to hear it.
Another regular on the award show circuit is Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus, nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy. When we looked back on her win in 1994 for Seinfeld, we weren't impressed. Much like Tom Hanks, her acceptance speech lacked pizazz. While she had no clear voice, she did have a distinct message of gratitude, thanking everyone she's ever met.
Compare that to her Emmy acceptance speech last September. Before the ceremony she and Tony Hale, who plays her body man on the HBO show, came up with a bit. In Veep, his character carries around her purse and tells her things about the people she's meeting. So fans were delighted to see him follow Julia up on stage to accept her award, dutifully walking behind her, holding her bag and feeding her lines for her speech. It was hilarious and a speech people were talking about for weeks after. Major coup! It demonstrated her ability to stay true to the brand of her character in the show and allowed her to showcase her voice. We hope she wins so we can see what she will come up with next.

These five favorites might not even make it up on stage on Sunday, but we're looking forward to seeing what the big winners have to say. Will they stay true to their personal brands? Will there be surprises that will keep tongues wagging for weeks to come? We'll report back post-show to see how we fared with our predictions and to give our perspective on the ultimate Globe-holders' words of winning.

integrative genomics
Sunday 4 February 2007
Integrating results from diverse experiments is an essential process in our effort to understand the logic of complex systems, such as development, homeostasis and responses to the environment.
With the advent of high-throughput methods - including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) - acquisition of genome-scale data has never been easier.
Epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and genomics each provide an insightful, and yet one-dimensional, view of genome function; integrative analysis promises a unified, global view.
However, the large amount of information and diverse technology platforms pose multiple challenges for data access and processing.

Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone had a good holiday season with their loved ones and that you can come back to school and work feeling refreshed.
One thing that I've been thinking about with this new year is how I want 2013 to be the year that I'm intentional in the things I do. Resolutions generally don't work for me because I lose focus pretty easily, but that's not what this is. This is more of a life motto. This word, "intentional", will be the one that I doodle on my homework, hang up around my house, etc. It's my word for 2013.
For me, being intentional means focusing on the task at hand, whatever it may be. When it's time for me to do my homework, I'll set my phone aside, turn my study playlist on, and get down to business. When my husband and I have time to spend together, I'm going to focus on him and only him, forsaking my phone and the Internet and whatever other distractions may come up. I pride myself on being able to multi-task, but I've noticed that multi-tasking comes at a price. Nothing I do while multi-tasking is my best work and I don't want to be known for doing things half-heartedly.
This year, I'm going to be intentional with the time that I have and put everything into my homework when it's time for that, my field project when it's that time, and my relationships when it's that time. I'll let myself wake up slowly and start the day with a cup of coffee and some journaling, but then I will get down to business and be intentional with my time in 2013.

Kasia's Parmesan Polenta with Eggs & Roasted Mushrooms
Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: Parmesan Polenta with Eggs and Roasted Mushrooms
How long does it take? 20 mins (including prep)
Category: Vegetarian
Name: Kasia
Why is it a favorite meal? This is my default lazy dish. Roasting the mushrooms bring out big woodsy flavors that play off the creaminess of the cheesy polenta and soft cooked egg, making this dish versatile enough for impromptu dinner guests or a 'fancy' meal for just one.
Parmesan Polenta with Eggs and Roasted Mushrooms
Serves 3 (main course portions)
1 lb mushrooms
1/8 c olive oil
1/4 tsp pepper flakes
1/4 tsp coarse salt
1/2 c polenta
1 c milk
1 c water
pinch salt
1/2 c shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
3 eggs
chives for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 475.
2. Chop mushrooms into 1/2 inch pieces.
3. Toss mushrooms with oil, pepper flakes, and salt on a baking sheet.
4. Spread in single layer and roast until browned, about 10 mins.
5. Meanwhile, whisk polenta, milk, water, and salt together in saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, covered.
6. After reaching a boil, turn heat to low and let sit with lid cracked for 15 minutes.
7. While polenta is cooking, heat nonstick skillet over medium heat and crack the eggs so that they are sunny side up.
8. Cook about a minute and then add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet. Water will sizzle - cover so the yolks steam and set to your liking. I like mine somewhat viscous so I wait for the steamed yolks to 'skin' over with egg white. This will happen naturally with the method above.
9. Mix Parmesean into polenta, plate on a dish, spoon mushrooms over and top with egg. Garnish with snipped chives. Eat and enjoy!
Thanks Kasia, and good luck! Readers, give Kasia a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

This looks awesome. Would love it with some slightly bitter wilted greens, too.
This looks fantastic, but is it just me, or are 1/2 these weeknight posts filled with egg dishes?
What kind of mushrooms are those? Or does it not matter?
@edava72, I noticed the same thing! Not that I'm complaining - eggs are delicious, nutritious and easy to make.
Lots of egg dishes because they're endlessly versatile and easy to incorporate into fast dinners, I'd guess? Plus I for one always have a dozen or so in the fridge...
I make this a lot, but usually with sauteed Swiss chard instead of mushrooms, I'll definitely give it a try with them. Or both.
hyperRevue - all I had on hand at the time was white button and they still tasted amazing (due to the roasting/salt/spicy pepper flakes) but this would work with any mushroom you like.
The egg thing is a funny coincidence... I know I'm always adding some kind of egg on top if I do a veg main course just to have the protein to make it feel like a meal, but that is just me.
Mmm this looks delish.
This looks fantastic! Gorgeous presentation :)
I was out of dinner ideas tonight so I made this, and it was awesome! I used crimini mushrooms, which had a nice rich taste when they were roasted. The green onions are the perfect finishing touch with a bit of sharp flavor to contrast the creaminess of the rest of the dish. Great recipe!
Looks delicious. I can't wait to try it!
I love when someone can make a vegetarian dish look so hearty. I bet those textures go together perfectly. Yummy.
Oh, I love polenta SO much. Don't make it nearly often enough because my husband isn't crazy about it...but that photo looks amazing. I will definitely be trying this dish next time he's out of town on business. :)
Brooklynnina - if it's just the polenta he's adverse to, try subbing pasta for the polenta. Earlier in the week I popped the mushrooms in my toaster oven because I didn't want to heat the whole kitchen with an oven and tossed the mushrooms with some rigatoni (and egg) and just shaved the parm over the top.
i'm excited to try this! :)
Looks delicious with a nice balance of color for appeal
I just love all of your recipes. Thanks so much!
We tried this last night - very nice. Really liked the roasting technique on the mushrooms.
Had this for dinner last night... first really cold night of the year, perfect for comfort food. Loved it!!
I made this for myself and the boyfriend last night, but added tomatoes and sliced bacon to the mushrooms in the oven. It turned out wonderful! The mushrooms are nice and earthy, and the bacon was a great crunch. Thank you - this is a new favorite for us!
Loved it!! Had it spot-on as the recipe reads, and it was great. The add in possibilities are endless. My hubby is not crazy about the polenta, but I don't really care, I loved it. Thanks!
Just made this last night - it is wonderful. Roasted some chopped green onions with the mushrooms. And that is a great way to make a fried egg!
I made this tonight for myself and my three year old. It got a "yummy", from him and a sigh of pure contentment from me. Thanks for the wonderful dish.
The Kitchn just did a roundup of quick weeknight meals, and this recipe was in it. (Duh, to any of you that came here the same way). I looked at this the first time it was posted, and finally made it tonight. I didn't have any chives, and I used a blend of Parmigiano Reggiano and Romano. It was superb! I'll definitely be making it again - it's made up of entirely pantry staples except maybe the mushrooms. (We raise chickens, so we never lack for fresh eggs!) Thanks for the quick, delicious meal!
I made this and it couldn't have been tastier. This will be a new staple for us. I especially loved the roasted mushrooms.
"Olive oil" for roasting at 475° is probably a questionable recommendation. That's well above the smoke point of unfiltered olive oils. If you're going to use an olive oil, better make sure it's light/filtered. Or substitute a high smoke point oil you have have on hand, like safflower, soybean, corn, etc.

TORONTO -- Canada may have been within a couple of points of knocking off a Tier 1 rugby team Saturday, but there was no celebrating in the Canadian locker-room after the game.
A controversial penalty in the dying minutes made sure of that.
The Canadians dropped a 19-17 decision to Scotland in an international Test match at BMO Field -- a country that sits a full eight positions higher than them on the world rankings. But Canada was in position to win with five minutes to go when the referee reversed his decision on a call, after originally awarding Canada a penalty kick.
"I'm gutted actually for the guys, they really put it all in," said Canadian coach Kieran Crowley. "Positives are . . . we ran a Tier 1 country to two points, that's a pretty good effort."
On the controversial play in the 75th minute, Canadian flanker Jebb Sinclair had the ball, his forearm made contact with Ruaridh Jackson, and the Scottish player was knocked out cold.
The referee initially awarded a penalty kick to Canada, but reversed the call after reviewing video.
"I don't know what you mean to do with your elbow in that situation when a guy gets his head on the wrong side," Crowley said "He refereed it how he saw it, and I thought it was the wrong decision. But that's the way he sees it."
Jeff Hassler scored Canada's lone try while James Pritchard booted for 12 Canadian points.
Grant Gilchrist scored the single try for Scotland, while Greig Laidlaw kicked four penalties and a conversion.
Hassler scored in the 23rd minute, after Ciaran Hearn broke through the Scottish midfield and sprinted 30 metres down the sideline in front of a red-and-clad crowd of 18,788 fans -- plus the odd Scottish fan dressed in a kilt -- at BMO Field.
"It's always good to get one on the board early in front of the home fans, it was a bit of a spark for us, just good team play and a good finish," Hassler said.
The Canadians were looking to bounce back from a 34-25 loss to Japan in a Pacific Nations Cup game a week earlier in Burnaby, B.C. -- an ugly affair that saw the Canadians give up 25 unanswered points in the second half.
While it was expected the No. 16-ranked Canadians would be in for a much tougher afternoon against the eighth-ranked Scots, they made Scotland work for the win -- the first Scottish victory on Canadian soil.
"It's pretty gutting," Hassler said of the close loss. "It's not the first time we've been in that position and it's something that we as a Canadian team need to improve on and start knocking off some of these teams in the last couple of minutes of the game. Locker-room is pretty disappointed, but we know we're right there."
Gilchrist scored in the 27th minute, muscling his way across the try line after some strong work from the Scottish forwards.
Scotland took a 13-8 lead into the dressing room at halftime.
Pritchard booted four penalty kicks, plus a conversion. He had a chance to give Canada the lead with 15 minutes to play, but his kick banged off the post. He made good on his next attempt to put the Canadians up 17-16.
But Laidlaw booted his fourth of the day to put the Scots back on top with eight minutes to play.
Stuart Hogg also had a penalty kick for the Scots, who were coming off a 24-6 victory over the United States a week earlier in Houston.
"Not happy at all with the outcome," said Canadian captain Tyler Ardron. "I'm sure that call (on Sinclair) is what's going to be talked a lot about this week, but in all honesty I don't think it should have come down to that. I think we should have closed it out before that and it's shouldn't have made a difference."
Despite the close loss, Ardron said this game didn't sit with him any better than last week's defeat at the hands of Japan.
"It's the same feeling, I think we should have won both those games, but it's not good enough to sit back and say we should have won those games," he said. "We have to win them. If we want to get to where we feel we should be, that's got to be our attitude."
Scotland's coach Vern Cotter admitted the call on Sinclair that reduced Canada to 14 men "changed momentum" of the game.
"(The Canadians) were attacking at that stage," said Cotter, after his second game with Scotland. "Always in these games, little things make the difference. A little thing turned out to be a big thing and had a reasonably big consequence on the result."
Cotter praised the Canadian side that is "developing rapidly." He added the Canadians clearly came out at the opening whistle bent on making up for last weekend's disappointing result against Japan.
"They were very angry, you could see in the first couple of rucks, there was a couple of exchanges, they obviously wanted to impose physically," Cotter said. "I think that's part of their team psyche, they enjoy that type of thing.
"I think they played particularly well. . . they're doing some good things."
The BMO Field crowd was positive on the afternoon -- another strong rugby turnout at the lakeside venue that Canadian players have dubbed their unofficial home.
Some 22,566 fans squeezed into BMO Field to watch the Maori All Blacks beat the Canadians 40-15 there last November -- a North American record crowd for the sport. Canada's loss to Ireland a few months earlier drew 20,396 fans to the stadium that is normally home to Major League Soccer's Toronto FC.
"It felt awesome," said Ardron, who grew up in Lakefield, Ont., just north of Peterborough. "It's so hard to comment on how good it felt now after such a devastating loss, a close game like that. But having the support behind us the whole game felt great."
The game was Scotland's first victory over Canada on Canadian soil. Canada had beaten Scotland twice at home -- 24-19 in 1991 in Saint John, N.B., and 26-23 in Vancouver in 2002.
They've met two times in Scotland, both Scottish victories -- 22-2 in Edinburgh in 1995 and 41-0 in Aberdeen in 2008.
The game was halted for about 10 minutes midway through the first half while medical staff attended to Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch. Strokosch was eventually wheeled off the pitch on a stretcher.
The Canadians face the United States next Saturday in a Pacific Nations Cup game in Sacramento, Calif.

Chevy Chase & Dan Aykroyd Dust off Comedy Cobwebs for Planned New Movie
If you listen closely, you will hear the 'yawns' of every studio executive in the greater Los Angeles area. Why is this happening? Well it seems that Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd are pulling out the ol' typewriters and are going to give comedy another go. While details of what exactly they will be trying to pull off…comedy wise…are light in the details department, I would like to take a minute to ask Mr. Chase and Mr. Aykroyd to avoid the following story lines:
-Comedy about two just divorced men who suddenly find themselves in the modern world of dating. Lots of jokes about Facebook, Googling and dating website mishaps dominate this movie.
-Comedy about two fathers who find that they're children are about to get married. Dan, the uptight conservative from Dallas, Texas and Chevy, the San Francisco based liberal, come to blows about over their kids and their own lifestyles.
-The idea of having Chevy appear in Ghostbusters 3
-Comedy about politicians who, despite their differences, begrudgingly join forces to stop an evil corporation from monopolizing a certain business sector. Chevy this time would be the Texas conservative and Aykroyd the California liberal.
-Caddyshack 3
So where does that leave two guys who the last time they were truly funny was during the Reagan administration? It pains me to say this but they may have to look at …a sequel to Spies Like Us. With every other film from the 80's being remade (and there was talk a few years back about Spies getting remade) the announcement that Midnight Run may get a sequel and the overall appetite of Gen-Xer's love of nostalgia, why not? Look guys, do you really want a couple of young punks "re-imagining" what may be the highlight of your comedy film career? I say take what is rightfully yours and get some sequel money baby.
That's not to say I would be excited about this idea. In fact I would probably make fun of it and most definitely not spend the money to see it. But I think it's your best play. Godspeed on your quest to comedy gold and maybe, just maybe, you could hook up with Paul McCartney again and update this classic pop song…

Fertilizer Expenses
Harvest season is winding up or over in many areas, and farmers already are thinking about their equipment, fuel, seed and fertilizer needs for the spring. The anticipated cost of fertilizer, in particular, is weighing heavily on the minds of many farmers crunching farm budgets this winter.
If tractor-seat common sense is a guide, fertilizer-related expenses will continue increasing for the foreseeable future, and a few points made at a recent Fertilizer Institute conference support that belief.
One thing made clear at the conference is that supplies of nitrogen, phosphates and potash – the classic combination of N, P and K – will remain tight as world-wide demand for these fertilizers remains strong.
"There have been some major shifts in fertilizer supplies here in the United States over the last few years," Bob Young, American Farm Bureau chief economist, says.
A closer look shows why this situation is unfolding. The analysts at the fertilizer conference based their presentations on the belief that about 88 million acres of corn would be planted in 2008, a small decline from 2007's record-setting planting of 93 million acres. That slight shift away from corn means not as much nitrogen in the form of anhydrous ammonia, a common type of fertilizer applied to corn acreage, may be used in the year ahead.
Potential Impact On Prices?
The lessening in demand for nitrogen is unlikely to translate into lower prices for farmers in the market for this product, however. The United States imported about 57 percent of its nitrogen in 2007, compared to 31 percent in the 1999/2000 growing season. One reason for the import increase is rooted in the price of natural gas, nitrogen fertilizer's key ingredient.
Trinidad, a tiny island in the Caribbean, has an abundant supply of natural gas, and it manufactures anhydrous ammonia more cheaply than the United States. Trinidad is expected to be this country's largest supplier of anhydrous for some time to come, while other popular nitrogen fertilizers such as urea are imported from Russia and Eastern Europe.
Countries Compete For Fertilizer
Other fertilizers U.S. grain growers count on, such as phosphates and potash, are increasingly used by their foreign competitors. Increasing reliance on phosphates and potash in Brazil, India and China and continued strong demand in the United States mean prices are likely to stay at or above current levels.
While the United States is a major manufacturer and exporter of phosphates, stocks are relatively low at this time. If disruptions in the manufacture or distribution of these fertilizers materialize, then the probability of spot market price spikes increases.
More than 90 percent of the potash fertilizer used in the United States is imported, the bulk of it from Canada but also some from Russia and the Congo. Recent flooding that affected the production of potash also suggests supplies may be tight in 2008.
Search For Savings
Farmers are taking close looks at their balance sheets, as they determine how much fertilizer to purchase ahead of planting time. And figuring out how to reduce fertilizer use to the bare minimum needed to grow healthy crops will be a valuable skill many farmers try to hone this winter.

Oilers Down to 25
Liam Reddox earned a spot in the NHL this fall, but he didn't get his ticket punched. Yet.
The ginger played his heart out (again) and certainly has a skill set that matches a team need. It looks like he lost a battle with Ryan Jones for the 4line LW role, a clear case of the coaching staff deciding size was more important than heart and effort.
Ryan Jones is bigger than Reddox, and probably has a bit more offensive ability. Those are the things that made the difference.
I'll have a post up later this evening in regard to the tremendous amount of talent that hit the waiver wire today (and some names the Oilers should consider), but for now here's a list of the cuts and the men who won the jobs in question.
- Ryan Jones over Liam Reddox. This is two coaches in a row who have gone another direction and one hopes Liam Reddox finds another team to play for in the next 24 hours. Jones was chosen 111th in 2004, Reddox 112th. I bet it was just as close on cutdown day, and in fact Reddox should be credited with making this the most difficult decision on the roster (based on performance). He didn't lose the job, it was awarded to a different player type. The Ginger had the wrong resume.
- Theo Peckham over Richard Petiot and Shawn Belle. I don't think this was as close a race. Peckham struggled a great deal during camp, but has displayed a willingness to drop the gloves and can deliver big hits consistently. Petiot and Belle will (unless lost to waivers) anchor a solid blueline in Oklahoma City this season. There's no real surprise here.
- Devan Dubnyk over Jeff Deslauriers. Good grief. The Edmonton Oilers are the NHL's tea grannies when it comes to making a freaking decision. Actually, that's an insult to tea grannies who make decisions in well under half a decade. Note to Oilers: it doesn't matter. Pick one.
There were some players who weren't really in the race but were kept for one final look:
- Alex Giroux: He didn't show enough in pre-season. His speed looked good enough and he can be physical; I'd like to see him mid-season (similar to the look Potulny got a year ago) to see if he could cash some goals. This story isn't over yet.
- Ben Ondrus: Also a possible callup, you could slide him onto the 4line and not miss a beat. Ondrus is a better player (to my eye) than we should have expected and he may see some NHL action this year.
- Chris Vande Velde: A strong training camp has him as a "coming attraction" for the Edmonton Oilers. The difference between this player and the others on the list of demotions today is that when he comes back Vande Velde is going to stay for years.
- Linus Omark: The continuing saga of the undersized skill player rolls on. Every time a player like this gets sent down there's much wringing of hands and swear words ring throughout the land. I think Omark might have more gears than the typical Bobby Sheehan, but he'll begin his NA career in Oklahoma City (where he will probably become a legend).
- Ryan O'Marra: I mentioned him early as a possible roster player (Bob Stauffer picked up on it and it was mentioned to me at least a dozen times this TC that I was an O'Marra booster. Long time readers of this blog will know the opposite to be true) but the pre-season is a crazy time. Either way, the organization likes him and O'Marra will be back.
In an hour or two, I'll have a list of players that Edmonton could pluck off waivers. It's an interesting list.

Wairarapa's newest music venue opened its doors on Friday night to an enthusiastic crowd of local artists, business people and music lovers - ahead of the venue's first official concert featuring Tiki Taane on Saturday.
Friends and families of owners, New Zealand music artist Warren Maxwell and businessman Carl Schdroski, were out in force to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter for the Wairarapa music scene.
Maxwell's speech to open the venue and thank the numerous businesses that had supported the new venture brought the house down, with heartfelt acknowledgments delivered with personal and touching humour.
With his young son, Levi, by his side Maxwell toasted the assembled crowd and proclaimed that King Street Live was now one of the top five music venues in New Zealand.
The family theme was a big part of the opening night with Schdroski's son Jake and his band Back to the Remedy the first band to perform on the stage and test out the venue's state of the art sound system.
Maxwell's brother Alan Maxwell is also an integral part of the project, working as bar manager sharing more than 20 years of experience in hospitality management.
It has been a year and a half since Maxwell and Schdroski's initial concept was discussed and support for the venture has been overwhelming.
"People have gone above and beyond, really getting stuck in to help prepare the venue, often on a voluntary basis," said Maxwell.
"Whole families coming in on weekends, lending a hand.
"So much love has gone into it," he said.
Masterton singer-songwriter Holly McGeorge was glowing in her praise of the atmosphere at King Street as she soaked up the welcoming atmosphere on the opening night.
"Warren and Carl's vision has truly come to life, but it's so much more than that.
"Wairarapa now has one of the top live venues in the country and the potential for the local music scene is immense.
"I'm just so blown away!"
The opening weekend for the venue was a huge success with tickets for the Saturday night Tiki Taane performance selling out and excitement is now growing for the next big acts booked to play the venue.
Tickets are already selling fast for Kiwi music legend Dave Dobbyn, playing May 26.

CNET Top 5
The iPhone and iPad accessory camera lens maker finally gives an Android smartphone some love, redesigning its mounting clip for two of Samsung's top smartphones.
There may be no Android, but Samsung's Z phone running its in-house Tizen operating system looks enough like the Galaxy S5's custom interface to easily get around.
Pricing not available
Samsung's new Ativ One 5 Style is an all-in-one Windows 8 touch-screen PC that's very reminiscent of a huge Galaxy Tab.
Pricing not available
With a lot of new technology but some interesting implementation choices, you should keep your eye on the Samsung NX1.
If you've been hoping for a fully-fledged flagship phone with all the bells and whistles of the the other elite mobiles just in a more compact size, prepare to be disappointed. The Galaxy S5 Mini matches the regular S5 in name and looks, but not in specs. If you're after a comfortable to use phone with the Samsung name and enough power for everyday use, it'll suit well. For a true compact flagship, look towards Sony's Xperia Z3 Compact.
The 5.7-inch "phablet" is back with a smarter stylus and more power beneath the hood.
Pricing not available
Leave it to Samsung to give us a phone that looks like an infinity pool. Luckily for the Galaxy Note Edge, its specs and stylus make good sense.
Pricing not available
Although it offers pedestrian picture quality for the price, the Samsung UNH6400 has a wonderful remote, a full feature set, and very sleek design.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.

RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - The Racine County district attorney cleared two police officers Monday, saying they were justified in killing a suicidal man 8 days ago.
DA Rich Chiapete did not identify the officers in a letter to police officials.
The officers were asked to check on 37-year-old Rajko Utvic, who reportedly had just taken 100 tablets of Ibuprofen.
Investigators said Utvic was bleeding from self-inflicted wounds when he covered himself with a blanket and lunged at the responding officers with a knife.
The officers reportedly tried settling him down with a Taser stun gun -- and when that didn't work, Utvic was shot and killed.

Though dumping is a frequent sight in our community, it's dangerous, as those chemicals contaminate our drinking water. But besides being unhealthy and flagrantly illegal, dumping chemicals is stupid. Especially because residents can drop them off at no charge.
San Joaquin County has a household hazardous waste facility, paid for through garbage bills, where residents can drop off leftover paint, used oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, cleaning supplies, fluorescent tubes, CFLs, e-waste and batteries.
The HHW facility is a solid block building near the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. Its out-of-the-way location belies the fact that it deals with the nastiest stuff our consumerism has to offer. It is open for residents from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. You don't even have to park your car — it is literally a drive-thru hazardous waste drop-off. Drive in, park under cover, and they will remove items from your car. That's it.
Touring the facility might seem an odd thing to do, but I was curious after dropping off some old paint. What do they do with the stuff?
My guide was Ollie Janvrin, HHW's onsite manager. Clad in safety goggles, a jumpsuit and tough work boots, she might have looked like Rosie the Riveter, but she definitely had a no-nonsense seriousness to managing the facility. Simply put, she said, any mistake could lead to injury or death.
All staffers take a minimum 40-hour certification training. Beyond that, more training and a chemistry background and common sense have a lot to do with handling unmarked or mislabeled chemicals. Ollie showed me a substance in a paste wax tin. To me, it looked liked graphite dust; in reality, it was gunpowder.
At the facility, dropped-off chemicals are sorted. Oil filters are crushed and drained, along with used oil and antifreeze. Other chemicals are sorted into zones inside the building. Most of the floor is on a metal grid over lined 4-foot-square pits that are ventilated continuously. The idea is to separate spills and prevent mixing. The seriousness with which the HHW crew handles waste is worlds apart from the public's awareness.
A quarter of what they get at the HHW is paint-related. If it is labeled and usable, it can be recycled immediately. Ollie's tip: Listen for the "glop, glop" sound when shaking a paint can. It means the paint hasn't separated. Usable chemicals and paint are put into the reuse room. Anyone can take 10 items from the room at no charge. Of the average 50,000 pounds of hazardous waste the processing facility gets each month, more than 17,000 pounds are recycled this way.
It should be noted, though, that hazardous chemicals are not treated on-site, only meticulously packaged for shipping and treatment elsewhere. Dangerous chemicals are boxed, nestled in golden vermiculite so no two containers touch.
But that's beyond most residents, so I asked Ollie for advice on how to be safe when transporting the stuff to the facility.
Her answer about what not to do came in the form of a "world's dumbest" moment. She related when one county resident put her infant in the back seat next to a container of gasoline, motor oil and leaking paint in a plastic bag. Fumes filled the car. When asked why she didn't put the chemicals in the trunk, the woman said she didn't want the substances to leak.
Ollie's advice is to keep items in their original containers and to transport items in the trunk, in cardboard boxes. Don't mix different kinds of products together in case they leak.
n For a change: Educate yourself about the power of chemicals. Read precautionary labels before you buy and use them. Choose less-toxic labels that read "Caution" or "Warning," rather than "Danger" or "Poison."
n To make a difference: Buy only what you need, and less will have to be recycled or discarded. For paint, use the calculator at www.sjcrecycle.org under "Paint and Coatings" to determine more precisely how much you need.
n To make a stand: Return all unused chemicals to the household hazardous waste facility. If it requires protection for your skin, special ventilation, or protection from pets and children, it requires special handling. For a list of items that can be turned in, visit

When I started this blog in 2007, my plan was to focus on my experiences as a nonprofit newbie. I came into the nonprofit sector through my commitment to education equality as a fundraiser and marketer, and I am still a proud nonprofiteer.
What I focus on
However, in the nearly seven years that I have been blogging, I've noticed key trends in the social-change landscape:
- Many of my peers want careers with a social impact: making a difference is the norm, not an after thought.
- Many of my peers are redefining what a career with social impact can look like: whether it's working at nonprofit, freelancing, starting a business with a social mission, or demanding companies they work for do more for others.
- Many of my peers are leveraging social media and technology for social change: they aren't just using these tools for fun; they use them to do good and connect with organizations and other people who want to do good as well.
Witnessing and experiencing these trends has been exciting; I've learned so much about the social change ecosystem and how my peers are navigating it. These trends have also encouraged me to shift the focus of my work from personal experiences in the nonprofit sector to larger issues facing Millennials who want careers that make a difference.
Let's work together
Through my blog I have had the opportunity to learn from and connect with amazing leaders and organizations. I write, speak, present, and consult on the following topics: job seeking in the nonprofit sector, personal branding, and nonprofit blogging and social media strategy. See my work and my writing, and contact me if you would like to talk about working together.
A bit about me
I'm a Brooklyn girl, currently living in Jersey, who is passionate about making a difference. I get to put my passion into practice as an editor at Idealist.org, a nonprofit that connects people to the resources, community, and opportunities they need to create a better world. In my role as editor, I launched and oversee Idealist Careers and manage our social media. My work has been featured in Lifehacker, Forbes, Business Insider, Huffington Post, GOOD, and more.
Prior to joining Idealist, I worked in fundraising and marketing for organizations committed to education equality. When I'm not researching, editing, and gossiping with my co-workers, you can find me making a mess in my kitchen or talking smack with my five younger siblings. It's the Brooklyn way.
