Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies—and however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and labeled unstoppable. But for Kevin, hacking wasn't just about technological feats—it was an old fashioned confidence game that required guile and deception to trick the unwitting out of valuable information.
Driven by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed security systems and blazed into major organizations including Motorola, Sun Microsystems, and Pacific Bell. But as the FBI's net began to tighten, Kevin went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated cat-and-mouse game that led through false identities, a host of cities, plenty of close shaves, and to an ultimate showdown with the feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.
Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escape and a portrait of a visionary whose creativity, skills, and persistence forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, inspiring ripples that brought permanent changes in the way people and companies protect their most sensitive information.
©2011 Kevin Mitnick. Foreword 2011 by Steve Wozniak (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Intriguing, insightful, and extremely educational into the mind of one who truly mastered the art of social engineering with the use of a computer and modern-day technologies. I strongly believe that one can learn a great deal about protecting themselves once they understand how another one perpetrates the crime." (Frank W. Abagnale, author of Catch Me If You Can)
"Great listen for tech fans"
This book is great for anyone who wants a non-technical overview of the progression of Hacking from the late 70s to early 90s told from the inside. He never gets very technical about how he accomplished some of his hacks, but he does cover the spectrum of methods he used.
I don't know how similar Ray Porter's portrayal and Kevin Mitnick actually are, but he really brought life to his reading. Well done.
"Worthy of five stars, if not more"
One of the most compelling books in my audible.com library, and I have more than a hundred. Although he was one of the most hotly-pursued and agressively prosecuted hackers ever, in the end Kevin Mitnick has done us all a favor: making computer networks and phone systems more secure. And he's done us another favor: writing page-turners.
Mitnick, himself, is easy to like. He's no reptile. Besides his remarkable intellegence and resoursefulness, he has a conscience and a sense of humor.
Lastly, Porter's narration is excellent. He reads the book as though he wrote it himself. Nice job, Ray.
"A Teriffic listen"
First and foremost, Ray Porter is just the right narrator for this book. His delivery is right on.
The story itself is riveting. While I know, on one level, that for the most part, the police, FBI, and variety of corporate IT security is in place to protect us, there is another, darker side to that protection. I found myself cheering for Kevin, and hoping that he'd evade capture and prosecution. Why didn't these folks hire him?
"Great story of a person tuning his life around"
This book, and the narration, was REALLY well done. I had a hard time turning this thing off. I had been following Kevin since he first made the news about the whole Netcom incident as I was a member at that time. It was interesting hearing the differences reported from the main stream news as well as the online tech community and hearing so many discrepancies between the facts. Over the years we all found out how unfair they were towards Kevin in regards to the law. Of course he was no angel and he did deserve to pay for some things, which he admits to. But seeing how he did turn all of this into such a positive for himself was probably the best part of the story in my opinion. Of course it was extremely entertaining hearing some of these exploits and how he "maneuvered" the system.
I highly recommend this book!
First, you probably won't like this book unless you are at least a bit of a geek.
Given that I AM a bit of a geek, I thought that this would be a fascinating story. I was wrong. The first five or ten times you hear of Kevin Mitnick gaining access, either via computer or a physical presence, to someplace where he is not allowed it's interesting. The next five or ten times, it's just more of the same with the names changed.
If you need to know if this book has an interesting ending, you'll have to read a different review. I gave up after about the tenth or fifteenth break-in.
Don't hold it against Ray Porter, the narrator. He did a very good job.
"coundn't be done soon enough"
I would def listen to Ray Porter again, just not a Mitnick book.
was pretty good in the beginning, but waaay too much minutiae to keep me interested.
constantly found myself checking how much longer i had to go.
I guess i just don't care how you "find someones phone number at will"
Newly retired, I am a reading fiend! I like many types of books, both fiction and non-fiction, with the exception of romance and fantasy
"Interesting character study of a sociopath"
This is a fascinating character study of Kevin Mitnick, whom I would describe as a "low level" sociopath. He clearly has exceptional knowledge of computers, telephone company infrastructure, and what he incessantly calls "social engineering". Yet he has spent much of his life using his unusual skills in illegal pursuits.
Equally fascinating is his sense of entitlement, lack of ethics, and lack of moral substance. He has lied through his teeth on a regular basis to get what he wanted and then dropped names of the people he finagled in this book, which is really one long "BOAST" and whining session about how unfairly he has been treated.
I rate the book as highly as I did, because I have always had a deep fascination with sociopathy, a mental disorder with a wide spectrum of lethality. Kevin prides himself in having ethics, but I see very little in the way of ethics in his behaviors. He is terrifically narcissistic, and he has given us here a clear picture of the deviousness of a narcissistic sociopath. How anyone could make him into a hero is beyond me. Listen for yourself and you decide!
Obsessive reader, 6-10 books a week, chosen from Member reviews. Fact & fiction, subjects from the Tudors to Tookie, Harlem to Hiroshima, Huey Long to Huey Newton. In-depth fair reviews - from front to BLACK!!!
This is a well-written book about a sociopath and his virtually unstoppable crime spree. If he'd been a poor black kid in Compton rather than an upper middle class Jewish boy in Sherman Oaks, he would be serving life without parole under the "3 Strikes" sentencing guidelines for repeat offenders even if his last crime had been shoplifting milk to feed his hungry baby. I liked this book in spite of Kevin Mitnick's self-righteous and unrepentant attitude. He just didn't get that what he was doing was against the law. For some reason, he felt that as long as his hacking wasn't for profit - just for fun and the challenge - it was alright to repeatedly invade the privacy of other citizens and corporations. He started out at age 12 by over-riding the school bus punch card system. By 17, he was a full-fledged "phone phreaker", obtaining non-published phone numbers and addresses through what he calls "social engineering", which is no different than what child molesters and sexual predators like Ted Bundy employ to psychologically get victims to trust and believe in them. Most of his really outrageous offenses occurred in his 30s when he went through a great deal of preparation and care to remain out of jail. He even created software to enable him to circumvent law enforcement measures and in-house security of the companies he was assaulting. This book is less of a "Catch Me If You Can" story than it is an indictment of agencies like the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, California Attorney General's office, and various other local and federal agencies which were slow and cavalier in creating legislation to stop computer hacking on the massive scale perpetrated by Mitnick and his cronies, both domestic and international. During the same period that Mitnick hacked or illegally charmed his way into every computer database from Pacific Bell and UCLA to the Social Security Administration and the Department of Motor Vehicles, politicians took only a few years to pass legislation making possession of 1 rock of crack worthy of 10 years in prison while a kilo of powder coke might get you 2 years or a suspended sentence. Why? Because crack was the drug destroying the black communities while only whites could afford the more pricey and less attainable powder. Simultaneously, Mitnick was wreaking havoc in the technology world and getting away with it because there were no real laws in place to stop him. He had FBI agents, informants, stake out teams, and helicopters chasing him for YEARS but nothing was ever done while he blew through the computer networks of California for more than a decade before moving on to Denver and Raleigh, NC with a spate of stolen identity papers made possible from his hacking skills. What was particularly disturbing is that his estranged mother and father, his grandmother, and other family members co-signed on his criminal activities by subsidizing him with money, transportation, accommodations, etc. Never, not once, did his mother or grandmother - his primary "partners in crime" - force Mitnick to see the error in his ways. They turned him into a classic DSM-IV sociopath. Over and over in the book he claims to feel soooooooo bad about all the mess he was putting his mother and grandmother through yet his alleged remorse never stopped him. He even had his Granny drive him to Kinko's so he could pick up some ill-gotten documents needed for a hacking scheme. When he noticed that he might be walking into a police trap, he ducked out, leaving her sitting outside for 3 hours! Afterwards she and his mother facilitated his escape out of Los Angeles. He was finally "caught" in 1999 and served just 4 years. Then he came out and wrote books about his exploits, capitalizing on his legend among other hackers, "phreaks", nerdy outcasts. He now runs several successful security companies where, at one of them, he has the title of "CHO", i.e. "Chief Hacking Officer". Yep, that's America for you! A promising and immensely talented black NFL quarterback serves about the same time in prison for illegal dog-fighting at a house he owned in his home town, 700 miles away from his physical residence in another state. He loses his NFL contract and has to file bankruptcy, losing everything. But Mitnick is writing books, appearing at speaking engagements around the world, and guests on television talk shows while bringing in bank 💵 with his own businesses. What's up with that "Son of Sam" law? My review is based on the quality of the book not its content. Nor am I an advocate of Kevin Mitnick's criminal behavior or his obvious sociopathy. I have no respect for him as a human being. In fact I would never have paid money for this book had I known he was "thisclose" to being Scott Peterson. But, that aside, the book is pretty good. I just wish it was fictional. 👎
"Scary how easily a company can be hacked"
This book is filled with shocking stories of how Kevin Mitnick was able to hack into systems through social engineering and computing security holes. He collected information from dumpster diving and other simple methods. Then he brazenly bluff his way in getting more information by acting as an "insider." He patiently kept mining for more information from different people to fill in gaps in his "insider" persona... until he was able to access the restricted information he wanted -- codes, dial-in numbers, IDs, and passwords.
Since the book is co-written by Kevin Mitnick, he paints himself as an awkward youth hacking into systems out of curiosity and the satisfaction of being able to do it. He repeats throughout the book that he didn't profit from the information he had stolen. When he's finally caught, he portrays himself as a victim of unethical governmental prosecution. Although he may not have sold the information he had stolen, he shared his hacking techniques with other hackers who did cause damages. There was good reason why the government wanted to put him away for life. I think the book would have been improved if it was a biography and had a more balanced view of Kevin Mitnick.
This book is illuminating on how easily social engineering can work and how the collection of seemly unconnected, basic information can make a company vulnerable to hacking.
This book has great reviews and I was excited to get my ears on it. I got about 70% through and decided I'd had enough. There are very few, if any "thrilling" moments. If you enjoy a guy talking about how he uses social engineering to trick people into giving him confidential information over the phone and then repeat that story over and over again.. this might be your cup of tea.
"Excellent Text and Excellent Reader"
This book was fascinating in that it showed that at least 50% of the "hacking" prowesses of Kevin Mitnick were what he calls "social engineering" and what most of us would call using psychology to trick people. No major technical prowess; just understanding how people think. Very enlightening for anyone concerned about IT security.
In addition the reader of this book is excellent. One feels that it is Kevin Mitnick who is telling us his story directly. The only other time I kept on feeling that it was the author telling me his story rather than someone reading a book was for the Churchill WW2 Memoirs.
"A treat to read and better then a James Bond novel"
I read Kevin Mitnick's first book about hacking and I was hooked. its a great read, as is this book and it tells you so much about social engineering and how hackers do it. I naively though that they sat at the computer guessing passwords. If you think that then read this book. Its far easier to hack and break into a company's server then you could realise and though I assume that if this guy wasn't guilty he would not have been sent to jail, he tells a really goos storey about manipulating people to get people to give you access to company secrets.
This is a tale about breaking in, and having to be on the run. There was a film of his encounters which was a flop but to be rank you need to read this to get to the real adventure. Its all here, secrets, FBI, mistrust, betrayal and finding new identities. Great.
Loved it and hope there are other similar books out there for me to delve into.
"The absolute obsession and love of the challenge.."
The absolute obsession and love of the challenge rather than any financial gain is richly described in this deeply detailed account of Kevin Mitnick's life as one the original hackers and expert social engineers of the 80's. I'm sure others may dispute Kevin's version of events but it is both scary and scandalous how he is portrayed in both the courts and the media. He is no angel but some accusations levelled at him are not only rubbished by Mitnick but also shown to be completely implausible and utterly untrue! His skills as one of the original hackers are amazing and his audacity to social engineer people is breath taking. The sheer joy he gets from taking on a hacking challenge and succeeding is described in rich detail and it makes for an exhilarating, roller coaster listen.
The life of Kevi Mitnik unfolds like a Jason Bourne story but without people getting killed. Whether or not you approve of hacking you cannot help holding this man in awe in terms of his high intelligence and his incredible audacity. Also, the narration by Ray Porter is superb. Highly recommended.
"Not just for Geeks and Nerds!"
Ghost in the wires is a fast paced story of how Kevin Mintnick evades and escapes the police and FBI after being a caught numerous time hacking into various different organisations computer networks.
I really enjoyed listening to this book. You genuinely feel an attached towards Kevin, and you don't want him to et caught. He is honest with the reader and doesn't embellish being on the run, he tells it how it was, make helps you appreciate the loneliness and isolation that he felt.
Ghost in the wires is not a book that I would normally choose to read, but I enjoyed every page. For this reason I gave it 5 stars.
"Next time you credit card company phones..."
Listen to it. Learn about social engineering. Understand why you should be sceptical with phone calls claiming to be from your bank, your credit card company and/or your mobile phone company. All they want is your date of birth, the first line of your address and your post code. Hello Kevin! This book is cool.
"A brilliant Audio Book"
Once I started listening to this Audio Book I couldn't stop and until I got to the end I thought it was actually Kevin Mitnick reading it! This is a brilliant audio book from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.
I wasn't sure i would like this, But after the first hour i was hooked. I actually listened to it in about 2-3 days as i could not STOP listening, its such an interesting story and very exciting, I could also tell there is an effort to explain it to people who are not tech smart, which is nice (not that i needed it). Its actually one of the best books i've had the pleasure of listening to.
"Gripping in parts"
honest book,
Getting chased by helicopter
Lies told by government to gain convictions
I agree with some that it drags at bits, however after the first hour or two it's a very addictive book. I would say that anyone would enjoy this book. It's like a thriller/ crime novel with a bit of hacking for dummies thrown in.
"Close but no cigar"
Sadly no, even though this book was well written and amazingly actually based on real life events that kept me listening to just one more chapter finished leaving me with no real closure.
Obviously very clever Kevin Mitnicks crimes eventually come to grow a pointless and as a reader I ended up hoping for him to get caught just for some variety. A very clever man with one hell of a story to tell but I personally only want to hear it once.
Without giving too much away the most memorable moment in Ghost in the wire, was the fugitive tacking the FBI, the way he went around it was genius.
Kevin Mitnick, this is the only choice really as it is only Mitnicks side of the story that is retold.
Firstly sheer disbelief, with what he had the guts to do. As most of the crimes are repetitive a ended the book in frustration.
Kevin Mitnick gets information from people by basically lying to them. It is called social engineering in the book, social engineering to get information out of people to use to your own advantage. I just wonder if you replaced every reference of social engineering with the word lying if Kevin Mitnick would come across as such a likable person? A good listen but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a technical background.

Here's a look at the five courses of study New Bedford High students may choose:
Arts and Humanities
Concentrations: art, music, criminal justice, pre-law, world language.
Concentrations: Robotics, renewable energy, manufacturing.
Concentrations: Accounting, economics, finance and entrepreneurship.
Health Sciences
Concentrations: pre-med, emergency medical technician, emergency medical responder, certified nursing assistant.
Certifications: Emergency medical technician, certified nursing assistant.
Information Technology
Concentrations: Computer programing, web design, Microsoft Office specialist.
NEW BEDFORD— Beginning this fall, students at New Bedford High School could have a better idea of what it means to become an accountant or a web designer even before they get to college.
The school will add three new academies next year: finance, heath sciences, and information technology.
The high school already had an academy of engineering and will also have an academy of arts and humanities based on courses already offered at the school. "They will have gotten a sense of each academy before choosing" a major, incoming Headmaster Kathleen Dawson said.
All freshman students next year will get a taste of each academy during project-based classes in an academic enrichment or acceleration course they all have to take.
Dawson said in developing the academy system school officials were thinking about "how are we going to help our students be successful in college and in the workforce after that."
In their senior year, students will also pick a concentration — such as web design, emergency medical responder, accounting, robotics, criminal justice and pre-law. Using words like majors and concentrations also has a purpose.
"We are also trying to have students ... getting used to talking the way they would as they are preparing to (go) to college," Dawson said.
Many of the majors come with certifications like EMT certificates that will put students ahead of the game.
"Students, while going to college, they can be working with these certificates that can get them more than a minimum wage salary," Dawson said.
The school partnered with the National Academy Foundation, which helps school implement academies, she said. Each academy cost about $6,000 she said, and included professional development for teachers, and curriculum among other materials.
School officials have been in touch with the Chamber of Commerce to see whether students could also have internships in their area of study, she said.
Students could also become dually enrolled to receive college credit while still in high school.
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors were able to pick an academy earlier this year, she said.
"We will make adjustments, especially with our seniors, to make sure they get the courses that they want," she said.
One unique feature of the academies is that once students pick a major, they will still be able to take classes in other academies as well, Dawson said.
"It still allows students flexibility to be able to broaden their learning experience," she said.
The three new career academies "tied really well with some of the strengths at New Bedford High School," Dawson said.
"We want to raise our kids to stay here and contribute to New Bedford," Dawson said.

They did it! MIT and Harvard scientists have created 'lightsaber-like' particles!
This sounds like a joke, but it's not. A team of physicists were fooling around with photons when they managed to get the particles to clump together to form a molecule, one that's unlike any other matter. And it behaves, they say, just like a light saber.
That's right. Lasers were used to discover a new form of matter that's straight out of a Star Wars film. Credit for the experiment goes to Harvard physics professor Mikhail Lukin and MIT physics professor Vladan Vuletic, who blasted photons through a cloud of rubidium atoms. When they sent more than one photon at once, they noticed that the particles clung to each other to form a molecule.

Media Sanitizing
What it is
Media sanitizing is electronic file destruction. In the same way paper files containing sensitive information can be shredded or burned, electronic files can be destroyed using various methods. The most effective form of electronic data destruction is done with file shredding software.
Shredding Your Own Files
You can shred your own computer files if the computer is still in use. By shredding the files (rather than just "erasing" them by putting them into the computer's trash), you are ensuring that they are truly gone and can not be retrieved by someone using the right tools.
Software for file shredding comes in many versions and price ranges. PGP Whole Disk Encryption and IdentityFinder, both products currently supported by IS&T, are just two of the many software applications with a "file shredding" option that delete files according to Department of Defense standards. Some of these tools will also work on external hard drives, flash drives and CDs. A list of software that does file shredding on computers can be found here (this page also provides tips for erasing cell or smart phones).
If the computer is to be repurposed and you want to make sure the hard drive has been completely "wiped," thereby removing any trace of sensitive documents, you should see the services for IT asset disposal listed below.
If needing to delete files from devices such as a tape or a drive no longer connected to a computer or working device, physical destruction is the best route. Using a hammer to smash the item, or burning it (if environmentally safe) are a few ways the files can be destroyed and made irretrievable.
Using a Service for IT Asset Disposal
Using a service for computer and other electronic waste disposal is helpful for when an office or department is getting rid of a number of items at a time and doesn't have the time or resources to remove the data themselves.
If you only have a few computers, hard drives or thumb drives, MIT Facilities will pick them up at no cost (items must weigh under 50 lbs). Facilities will NOT remove the data from the drives. The items are then prepared for pickup by third-party vendor, IRN, a recycling company, who must destroy the drives of computers they recycle. They guarantee to remove data according to MA data protection law standards. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Learn more about eWaste disposal at MIT.
If you have a large amount of computers in one area that are at end of life and being replaced, contact Intechra. They pick up a minimum of one pallet of equipment. Intechra will ensure with a certificate that the computer drives are wiped securely prior to repurposing or recycling them. Please contact Melanie Jacques at Intechra to arrange for the pick-up and disposition of equipment.
If not using either of these routes, make sure to use vendors who are National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certified.

At first this shampoo and conditioner was amazing. I thought I had found my HG products without the high end prices but when almost done with my first set of bottles I noticed my hair without any life, it got to where it wouldn't hold curls even though I was using the same thermal spray and curling iron. It did little to control frizz and fly aways and simply weighed mg hair down. For reference I have hair midway down my back, very thick and coarse. I will definitely be switching back to Kevin Murphy or Fekkai

My hair is not only fine, frizzy and indecisively wavy, it's over processed and badly damaged too. I've had to use the oil spray heat protectant from Sally's coupled with John Frieda's repair oil just to get it to straighten right. I washed my hair with this ONE TIME and didn't feel like I HAD to use the added oil sprays to my hair to get it to cooperate. I still used it, of course, to protect my hair from the heat but my god this stuff is amazing. I probably will never buy different shampoo/condition duo. Completely in love.

I really like Dove products so I decided to give this shampoo a try, but sadly it disappointed me a bit. The first time I tried it, it left my hair and frizzy. I thought it might be because my hair might not be used to it or I used too much of it. I tried it out more and I used a bit less, but still left my hair dry and frizzy. I really love the scent though, a very honey kind of scent, it stays in my hair for at least a day and a half. The packaging is average, easy to use. I really wanted to love this product but it just didn't work with my hair.

It feels like this stuff saved my hair. I have chronically dry, frizzy, slightly wavy hair and have tried almost everything, from redken to aveda to bedhead. I finally tried this on a lark after reading internet reviews for frizzy hair shampoo and conditioner. This stuff is a godsend. I've been using it for about a month. I don't even need styling serum anymore. My roots are clean while my ends and bulk of my hair is conditioned and shiny. If you have frizzy, dry hair I cannot recommend this stuff enough.
It is weightless for the most part, but is probably too heavy for people with thin hair or oily hair. My hair is also Caucasian, average thickness, and has a little bit of a wave. If your hair is anything like this, I would definitely try it.

I live in a hot & humid weather condition so moisturizing shampoos are a must. Moisturizing shampoos that deliver shine are a real plus. I've been using this for months and my hair is the fullest and silkiest it has ever been. My scalp is also cleaner and feels better. I wouldn't consider my hair as oily but I do need to wash it every day in order to feel fresh. I do combine it with the conditioner every time after wash. It is worth every penny. I consider myself a minimalist when it comes to grooming but a healthy hair is a must so better treat it right.

I bought this shampoo because I ran out of the Dove moisture one and saw that this one had argan and coconut oil, well, this shampoo is NOTHING like the moisture one, this turns my super dry hair into a greasy nest, it had to wash it twice with Alberto VO5 kiwi lime twice on my scalp and three times on the length to remove it, I've been using this since I need to buy new shampoo and my hair is dry and brittle (coconut oil acting like protein) and my hair has been falling out in rolls in the shower and after when I comb it, I am not happy, beware of hairloss with this stuff.

Most products weight my hair down but this does not. Makes it soft super shiny and bouncy... I also love the smell. Iam a high end product gal but love this stuff along with other Dove products such as there deodorant line and oil lotion! Cant beat it for the price!!!! Will continue to buy!!!!!

Thank God for this product.
Not only is my hair softerter-it litrelly feels different.
Lighter and I dont even have to comb it if i dont want to. It leaves my hair that soft , Thank God.
i brought another 1 as well. Also I team this is up with Dove damage line conditioner also good.My hair is greasy from the top and dry from the bottome so i do have to use a anti dandruss shampoo.
my hair was badly damaged after bleaching 3 times over the course of 2 months or so I tried a range of things after cutting my hair as i damaged it again.
Main thing is i feel it works ok, the price is what makes it so much better. I almost gave up and was going to buy expensive product like redken which you can only buy from salons etc.
This prouct I would definetly recommend:)

I have been using this shampoo ( and the Nutritive Therapy conditioner) for about 2 years now and all I can say is this is: Great duo! They leave your hair really soft and easy to style. I have long curly hair and frizz can be a serious problem but this line helps keep your hair smooth and frizz-free. The price makes it even better, It is cheaper than L'Oreal and Pantene and yet it conditions your hair better. I personally love the smell of it as well, but if you like unscented products this may not be the right shampoo for you.
Keep in mind though that if you hair gets greasy quickly this might not be a product for you. My friend tried it and said her hair got greasy a lot faster than usual after using the shampoo and conditioner, but if you have dry, dammaged hair these products are your friends.

I am really impressed with this shampoo and I have tried many recently, including SLS free ones. My hair is a disaster zone, thinning and very frizzy. This makes it look so much healthier with shine and some body. The smell is OK.

This sounds credible - a lot more than EEStor anyway (I know that is a low, low bar). May be we can get this in vehicles in 3 to 5 years.
Atul Kapadia, chairman and chief executive of Envia, said in a telephone interview. "The cost of cells will be less than half — perhaps 45 percent — of cells today, and the energy density will be almost three times greater than conventional automotive cells."
Mr. Kapadia continued: "What we have are not demonstrations, not experiments, but actual products. We could be in automotive production in a year and a half."
Envia's announcement said that its packs would deliver cell energy of 400 watt-hours per kilogram at a cost of $150 per kilowatt-hour. Though it doesn't disclose a cost breakdown, Tesla Motors rates the energy density of its Roadster's pack at 121 watt-hours per kilogram. Envia said its energy-density performance was verified in testing of prototype cells at the Naval Service Warfare Center's Crane evaluation division.

More From Southern Living
Recipe Time
Cook Time:
Prep Time:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice (short-grain)
- 2 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup freshly shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons jarred diced pimiento, drained
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 thinly sliced green onions
- 1. Stir together first 4 ingredients in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes. Stir in rice, and microwave at HIGH 2 minutes.
- 2. Stir in 2 3/4 cups broth and 1/4 cup wine. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. (Do not vent). Microwave at HIGH 9 minutes. Carefully swirl bowl without uncovering (to incorporate the mixture), and microwave at HIGH 8 minutes. Carefully remove and discard plastic wrap. Stir in cheese, pimiento, and 1/4 cup chicken broth, stirring 30 seconds to 1 minute or until creamy. Add 1/4 cup additional broth, 1 Tbsp. at a time, if necessary, for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste; sprinkle with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions just before serving.
- Note: For testing purposes only, we used Rice Select Risotto Italian-Style Rice, an 1,100-watt microwave oven, and a 2 1/2-liter glass bowl. We found that self-sealing plastic wraps, such as GLAD Press'n Seal, do not work in this application.

Weekend Meditation: Cooking and Eating
When Gourmet was shuttered this week, the food blogs were ablaze with the news. Here in The Kitchn, we had a number of comments on our post. One in particular caught my eye. The commentor said that at one time Gourmet was just about cooking but today's Gourmet had become more about eating.
How interesting. Personally, I had never thought to separate the two. I am most definitely a cook AND an eater. But when thinking about it, I realized that I could see where our commentator was coming from. A passion for cooking doesn't always mean a passion for eating and food culture. Some people just want to cook, to follow a well-crafted recipe that will result in something delicious that they can serve to themselves and their family. Everything else is just extra.
Considering it further, I came up with another situation where I could agree. When I think about food shows on TV, I most definitely am not interested in the eating shows--you know, the ones where the hosts travel around to various places and we spend a lot of time watching them put food in their mouths. There's only so many times I can listen to someone chew while try to find a clever new way to say "mmmmm" between swallows. I can tolerate a little of that in a cooking show (just a little) as long as the emphasis is on cooking.
But really, when it comes down to it, I'm just in love with all things food. Food as sustenance, food as metaphor, food as distraction, identity and culture, food as art, food as a gift to give and receive (sometimes simultaneously.) The burrito grabbed on the run from the corner bodega, the lovely lick of pure white goat's milk cheese, the way honey can taste dark and moody and bitter or thin and achingly sweet. Cooking, eating, tasting, producing, creating, discovering, sharing and getting up the next day to do it all over again.
I'm interested in celebration and appreciation and in the vast and complex ways we relate to each other through food. I realize that I'm a little kooky this way and not everyone can relate to my enthusiasm, and that's OK. But if you're going to be passionate about something (and I hope you are!) then food and cooking is an astonishingly vast and satisfying choice.
How about you, dear reader? Are you a cook or an eater or both?

I am both. But my Grandma, who attempted to rise again with the closing of Gourmet, was a cook. In fact, I don't seem to remember her eating - ever. She cooked the really tough dishes too -- her collection of NY Times cookbooks and Gourmet library. I don't think she would have liked the Gourmet of late -- but as an eater, I certainly did!
I'm both to a point. I like to eat, of course, especially my own creations or at a restaurant that I've read about. But when it comes down to it, I'd much rather read about something I can make, as opposed to a restaurant across the country that I'll never go to.
What you wrote here gave me pause...because I too have never consciously separated the two. I suppose it is because, to me, you have to be able to appreciate food to be a good cook. The heady aromas, the tastes, the textures, the warmth of a spicy curry, the solace of forking in a warm bit of baked potato with just a bit of sour cream into your mouth, these things surely must colour how you actually cook the ingredients to provide this outcome.
I know there are people out there who can turn out perfect dishes without tasting them, but to me that is like creating beautiful art without stepping back to appreciate it...such a waste of a beautiful dimension to your work!
Hmm... I guess that commentator would be me.
Let me explain it a little my point a little more... Under Ruth Reichl, the magazine very much developed a restaurant culture -- chefs had prominent starring roles, and you got the sense that she couldn't stop being a restaurant reviewer.
If you lived in an area outside of the major centres on the coasts, you felt left out of the party...
The recipes began to call for increasingly obscure and hard to find ingredients, and became geared to a different kind of cook.
It just started feeling more and more elitist, and a couple of times it reminded me of episodes of Fraser, like the time when Niles was referring to his Italian shoes ("Aren't they exquisite? Those shoes were individually handmade by an artisan toiling in a hilltop village above Florence. The man is a hero there. It's an event when he completes a pair of shoes. They ring the cathedral bell and the whole town celebrates.").
At a certain point, I began to feel alienated and left out by the magazine, and it seems I was not alone... The balance was off between being a cook interested in the history, culture, aesthetics and politics of food (no one can touch Gourmet in that respect, and its demise leaves a gaping hole there), and being a foodie who wanted to get into the next hot restaurant or food trend before anyone else did...
Despite my misgivings about Gourmet's latest incarnation, I still believe that it is a travesty that Condé Nast has ceased publication. Gourmet belongs in the American culinary firmament next to James Beard and Julia Child, and still has much to offer.
cooking and eating are completely different things for some people. Think about it this way: I am in my 20s and live in a major metropolitan city. Everyone I know loves to go out to eat at little ethnic restaurants, high-end restaurants where the chef has a tv special, the newest trendiest places to be seen eating etc. Can any of my friends cook anything other than ramen? Very few can cook or have any interest in cooking. It simply doesn't fit their lifestyle. But they love reading restaurant reviews, they love talking about where the food is from, how it is cooked and who cooked it. They just don't love cooking.
I am one of the few people I know who eats something at a restaurant and thinks "how can I make this at home?" So I think it is relevant to define if Gourmet is a cooking magazine or a food magazine. I agree with the poster who said Gourmet is about eating and not cooking. When I first started cooking on my own, I bought both magazines for a while and ended up getting a subscription to BA because it had more recipes I could try. If I wanted restaurant info, there is chowhound and the newspapers. If I wanted to know about food industry, there are always blogs and Mark Bittman. Gourmet doesn't really fit those needs in a way that propels me to buy the magazine.
When you are taught to cook food from another culture, the world is brought to your doorstep, the culture is made accessible, and you become an active part of it; when you read about a restaurant or region and someone else's cooking that you will likely never have the means or opportunity to sample, the world is pushed away.
The former brings people together and makes people cosmopolitan; the latter, is becomes a bore.
I am definitely a cooker over an eater.
If i have to cook for someone else, i will go all out and make a crazy meal and whatnot, but if its for me, ill just put together a sandwich.
I often end up making things just for the fun of making it, and its sits in my fridge for days, untouched.
Several weeks ago Michael Pollan had an extensive article in the New York Times Magazine about what he called "The End of Cooking". It was a good article about how the Food Network is all about eating and consuming and not so much about cooking.
A lot of times, I tend to eat a very hasty, put together meal when I come home and then make elaborate dishes, bake bread, etc... for several hours for later.
What a great post with many thoughtful comments (including the orginal that provided the inspiration). I'd have to say I'm a little of both and it always depends on my mood. I love to feed myself and my family with food I cook at home; I know of no other way to show someone I care for them than with something prepared in my kitchen. However, I also love to eat and because of that, it makes me a better cook.
Man, wouldn't you just love to be one of the guys in the eating shows walking around in these exotic places with the camera hanging on your every "mmmmm?" I have dedicated my life to becoming one of those guys. You can see my attempts on my website.
That said, not enough cooking shows teach you how to cook. Most of them just give recipes.
This was a wonderful post, and the comments have been just as interesting and fun to read. Posts like this make me wish I knew some of you folks in real life-- I think that mschatelaine would be fun to share a meal with.
That Michael Pollan article was quite good -- I'll second gab18480 in recommending it.
I actually like the tour food shows, like Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. It really helps me plan out my vacations. I wouldn't have gotten to eat at Apizza Scholls in Portland was it not for his Pacific NW episode. I love to learn about another culture's food, their practices, etc. It's part of why I love food, both to eat it and cook it. So I guess I'm both. Though I get so nervous about cooking for anyone other than my partner. I know what we like but since my family are picky eaters, I walk around with a bleeding heart in their kitchen.

The Late Show: Frente 'Accidentally Was Released'
(via effyeaaussiecomedy)
This is a musical parody from Australian sketch program The Late Show (1992-1993). Here Tony Martin first shows a 70's clip from cabaret group The Four Kinsmen singing "Green Door" in a weak, sanitised manner. Then The Late Show takes on gangsta rap - the Kinsmen way.
First of all, I love this show - I was too young to appreciate it at the time it came out, but the comedy group D-Generation, who wrote and starred in this show, has made so many classic shows since that they are legendary. I wanted to share some of their greatness with the world.
Secondly, this sketch seems like something LNJF would do. I can picture it.

Easy Ways For You to Get Taller Fast and Naturally
The average height of the people raises when the standard of living is better because they receive better quality of nourishment and healthcare. Being tall is thought to be a desirable feature these days not just from the social point of view but also considering the employment advantage. On account of this many people that are not tall are trying to learn how to increase height naturally using holistic methods. Recommendations on how to increase height naturally include healthy nutrition, regular stretching workouts and adopting a healthy living style. These methods are safe and effective as well as being inexpensive. In this article we are going to take a look at how to increase height naturally making use of a variety of holistic techniques.
1. Stretching Exercises
A wide variety of stretching workout routines can be used to extend the legs and spine. Stretching exercises is not only beneficial to increase your height, it also helps you to have an better posture and enhances body flexibility. There is a small pea sized area in the brain that is positioned behind the eyes that manufactures and secretes a hormone known as the human growth hormone, also referred to as HGH. This hormone stimulates growth in people and working out makes it produce more growth inducing hormone. Meaning that stretching exercises can enable you to gain height in several ways.
2. Good Nutrition
The human body is a very complex system that requires a wide variety of nutrients, minerals and vitamins in order to function properly. A good supply of nutrients on regular basis, especially during the growth years will ensure good body growth. Eating a well balanced diet which includes products made from whole grains, fish, green vegetables, fruits, milk products and nuts will make sure that your body gets all the required nutrients in adequate amounts. A healthy diet will provide almost all of the nutrients which the body needs but for individuals who want to grow more rapidly or who are uncertain of their diet, a diet supplement can help. Most of the pills which are advertised to make people get taller are dietary supplements consisting of multivitamins, minerals and various other essential nutrients. For best results you could take one tablet of food supplement per day.
3. Healthier Sleeping Habits
The section of the brain which produces the human growth hormone is more active at some times than at others. Human growth hormone is secreted more during the first few hours of sleep at nighttime. So for an individual to grow taller, adequate amount of restful sleep at night is extremely important. This would ensure that the human growth hormone is produced in sufficient quantities thus ensuring proper growth of the body.
4. Breathing Deeply
Growth of your body takes place effectively if proper supply of oxygen is available. Oxygen is crucial to good growth so breathing correctly is crucial. Taking long deep breaths is the correct way of breathing for the reason that this will ensure that your lungs are filled to its maximum limit. Shallow breathing can stunt growth by limiting oxygen content to the body. So deep breathing should help to increase your height naturally.
Being tall in stature is something which is considered as a sought-after attribute and those that are short are willing to try anything just to add a few inches to their height. There are a variety of ways that people could use to get taller. Natural holistic measures like good nutrition, proper restful sleep, breathing the right way and doing regular stretching exercises are the best for increasing height .
If you are a short person that is hoping to increase your height then you may have been considering having surgery to make you taller. This is probably the least recommended of all of the ways that you could use to increase your height. Surgery is very pricey and requires extensive hospital stays both for the surgery and for the very long convalescent period following surgery. Furthermore, surgery treatment for increasing height is not covered by the medical insurance as it is regarded as a cosmetic procedure. Surgery to make you taller is very painful; so painful that most health care facilities which perform it require patients to first complete a psychological assessment to determine if they can handle the mental stress and pain relating to the surgery treatment and post-operational recovery period. If the surgery treatment turns out successful, you might be able to add a few inches to your height, but surgery to make you taller is definitely not worth the pain, mental stress and high costs.
Distraction osteogenesis is the medical term which is used for the surgery to make you taller. This form of surgical procedure is used to elongate the long bones of the body. Here a gap is created between the bones by fracturing it into two pieces with the objective that new bone formation takes places in the gap. However, this surgical treatment does carry many risks and complications that may lead to serious health issues and sometimes could be fatal as well. The cost for this surgical treatment could run $20000 or more and what's more you will have to pay a lot for the hospital stay in the course of the recuperation period.
The vast majority of medical professionals discourage people from getting cosmetic lengthening of bones so as to increase their height for several good reasons. Doctors do not like to break a limb which is perfectly functional. Being confined to wheelchair or moving around with the help of crutches for about a year seems very impractical and pointless. Doctors do not want people to subject themselves to pain and distress voluntarily and bear the expense of a needless surgical procedure. Medical specialists are also uneasy at people exposing themselves to unnecessary dangers of infection, damaged nerves and embolism that can result in death. So most medical facilities insist on psychological assessment and counseling so that they can help the patient to understand and weigh the pros and cons and decide whether this procedure is truly worth the effort .
So as you see, there are many drawbacks associated with surgery to make you taller and not a single good reason in support of it. If you feel that enhancing your height is very important choose one of the holistic ways to get taller naturally.
In today's modern society, being tall in stature is something that a lot of people wish for because of the personal as well as employment advantages that come with it. This leads many people who are not tall to think about what can be done in order to increase their height. To increase height in a natural holistic manner, daily stretching exercises are suggested. Stretching workout routines are effective in increasing the height even in older persons. You have a lot of exercises that can help to accomplish this but for the purposes of this article we are going to focus on five stretching exercises to increase height that are good to start with.
- The Two Leg Lift Exercise: The next exercise is known as the two leg lift and this might help to extend the spine and it also gives your body a better posture. Lie down on a floor mat with your face facing downwards and then slowly raise both your legs up and take it as high as you can. Make certain that your feet are together whilst you are lifting it. Do three sets of ten repetitions with each repetition lasting 3-4 seconds.
- Hanging: The last exercise we will cover is hanging. Hanging from a bar by your hands will stretch out the arms, legs as well as spine and also help to elongate and straighten your spine. Using a wider grip will improve your back and shoulder muscles however it makes it harder to do. This exercise should be done for at least 30 minutes each week to get the best results.
- The Super Stretch: The very first exercise which is suggested for lengthening your spinal column is the Super stretch. Stand straight and lean back gently while you lift your arms up and reach your hands as far as possible. The stretching effect should be felt in the lower part of the spine. This super stretch exercise may also be done in the lying down position. Each stretch shouldn't take you more than 5-8 seconds. Do three sets of ten repetitions daily.
- The Wall Stretch Exercise: You may also use the Wall Stretch exercise to help extend your spinal column in an effective manner. Lean against a wall keeping your back straight. Now try to stand on your toes while you take your arms up and stretch them as high as possible. Keeping your back straight against the wall can be a bit difficult at the initial stages. Three sets of ten repetitions with every repetition lasting 5-7 seconds.
- The "Downhill Racer" Exercise: The Downhill Racer is an exercise which helps to stretch out both the legs as well as the spine. Stand straight keeping your legs shoulder width apart and clasp your hand behind your back. As you bend frontward slowly take your hands back as far as they go. Just be sure you bend from your waist. Hold the stretch for not over 5-7 seconds and then relax. Repeat the exercise ten times to complete one set. As you get comfortable with it, you could do three sets of this exercises everyday.
These five exercises are good ones to begin with but as you get your spinal column more stretched out and realize what a benefit these kinds of exercises are you will probably want to try a few of the many other stretching exercises to increase height that are available. You can find a whole lot of information on this subject just by searching online.You can find many websites on the internet that are dedicated exclusively to fitness and physical exercises. However, besides physical exercise, good nourishment is also very important for gaining height.
You could make yourself taller no matter how old you are by employing natural techniques which will help you to improve your posture and become more flexible while extending your spine and legs. They will also improve your overall health and ability to grow. The best ways to get taller would essentially involve a healthy living style with good nourishment, regular physical workout, adequate relaxation activities and minimal bad habits. Here in this article we are going to describe in detail why nutrition, physical exercises and healthy habits may be considered as the best ways to get taller.
:: Healthy Diet ::
Ranked right after inherited genetics and personal hormonal production the most important factor in how tall an individual will get is having adequate nutrition. This is especially important during childhood and adolescence. Adults also necessitate good nutrition for growth and for overall health. A healthy well balanced diet is the one which supplies all the necessary nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals and essential fatty acids in adequate quantities. Most of the nutrients that the body needs in order to get taller will be in a balanced diet of fish, dairy products, whole grain cereals, meat, fruit and vegetables . Those who are concerned over whether or not their diet contains enough nutrition need to consider taking a supplement once a day. Diet supplement tablet ought to include all the vitamins and minerals in adequate quantities.
:: How to Increase Your Height With Basic Exercise Routines ::
To get taller, an individual should include stretching workouts in his everyday workout program. Stretching exercises extend the spine and legs and even make people more flexible. They also help to improve posture and make people stand up straighter. Secretion of growth hormone in your body is also enhanced by daily physical exercise. This hormone stimulates and controls growth in the body. Increased secretion of growth hormone coupled with good nutrition can help an individual to grow taller.
:: Healthier Habits ::
Maintaining a healthy living style should help people to increase their height in several ways. Besides exercise there are other factors that help in production of growth hormone and good refreshing sleep is one amongst them. Getting a full nights sleep on a daily basis will encourage the production of the human growth factor and that could make people taller. Growth of the human body can also be influenced by the amount of oxygen it receives. Taking in deep breaths to fill the lungs with fresh air helps your body to grow well and thus ensures good height.
Many people who are on the short side are thinking about ways to increase height so that they will become taller. A person's height is determined by their genetic makeup and hormones in addition to environmental issues such as proper nutrition. There are many different ways to increase height that people can use including good nutrition, proper amounts of sleep, supplements, good breathing habits, stretching exercises and surgery. We will have a look at the different ways to increase height in this article and explain a bit about them.
1. Good Nutrition
One of the most important environmental factors that influence your height is the nutrition that your receive from your diet. Getting good nutrition means that the body will get all of the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals that it necessitates to grow to its full capability. If you are undernourished or if your food choices are unhealthy, then your body growth may be stunted. People who reside in countries where the standard of living has improved often show a rise in average heights as a result of better nutrition. A good combination of green vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals, dairy products, nuts and seafood needs to be included in your everyday diet.
2. Good Sleeping Habits
In your brain is a pea sized part positioned behind your eyes which produces the human growth hormone, also referred to as HGH, which is responsible for how tall you would be because it stimulates growth in the body. Most of the HGH is secreted after exercise and in the first few hours of sleep. So if you don't have adequate restful sleep at night or if you are inactive during the daytime, secretion of this hormone will be minimal and this could lead to stunted growth.
3. So Called "Grow Taller" Supplements
One among the ways to increase height is to take nutritional supplements. Many of these dietary supplements advertise themselves as wonder pills which will make you taller but nearly all of them are just a combination of minerals, vitamins and various other nutrients. Those that are uncertain about the nutritional value of their diet should consider taking a diet supplement pill once per day.
4. Breathing Deeply
A sufficient supply of oxygen is important for the body to stimulate growth properly. Effective and correct breathing is performed deeply and it fills the lungs to capacity. Undersized growth can result from shallow breathing that does not provide enough oxygen.
5. Height Increasing Exercises
One among the best ways to increase height for most people is to perform a regular routine of stretching exercises. There are many different varieties of stretching exercises which help to lengthen your spinal column and legs. Done regularly these exercises can help to enhance people's posture, make them more flexible and help them to get taller. These stretching exercises can be easily performed at home and you can find wealth of information related to this subject on the internet.
6. Surgery To Get Taller
Surgical intervention to the legs for cosmetic purposes such as making an individual a couple of inches taller is not recommended. The procedure involves a lot of risk and it is extremely painful. The recovery period may possibly extend even up to one year.

These days most of the women leads a very active life.
Possibly, this will lead to having little time to devote to your beauty. So we wanted to give you some recommendations for you to consider.
Constantly renews makeup products, after a while you should not use them because they expire and become damaged and can produce you allergies. It is also very important that you apply your makeup with clean brushes and sponges.
Please note the expiry date:
Mascara: three to four months.
Blush: two years.
Base: twelve to eighteen months.
Lip: two years.
Shadows: two years.
Liner: two years.
Nail polish: twelve months.
To find out which concealer or foundation is best suited for your skin color, apply it to the inside of the wrist, as it is the most protected area of the sun and its tone is very similar to your face.
Styling Your Face, buying two flushes, one darker than the other. Apply the lighter blush in a circular motion on top of the cheeks. Then apply the darker shade, following the line of your cheekbones and ends with a light touch with the lighter shade on the nose and forehead.You will look spectacular!
The eyebrows are responsible to frame your face, so you must define them. If they are off, you can comb with clear mascara.
To make the whites of your eyes look even cleaner, brighter, use a lip liner or a blue shadow on the lower eyelids, you will achieve the same effect with both.
If you keep your nail polish in the fridge, it will always be smooth and easy to apply, as well, will last longer.

BOOM! You can actually play as John Madden in "Madden 13"
6/8/12 in NFL | JoeKukura | 492 respect
You could even fix yourself a plate of turducken to eat while playing, to complete the full John Madden experience.
It's part of a new "Madden 13" feature called Connected Careers, wherein you can start your career as a legendary player like rookie Jerry Rice, or as a coach like John Madden. You can try to re-create their Hall of Fame careers against the likes of contemporary NFL players.
This replaces the Franchise, Online Franchise, and Superstar modes in the previous versions of "Madden".
"Connected Careers combines the best of Franchise, Online Franchise, and Superstar, and creates one connected universe," says Cam Webber, GM of EA Sports football division.
The entire EA press conference and "Madden 13" preview is available online. Information on the Connected Careers feature is covered beginning at the 2:52 mark. You have to sit through a bizarre and overly dramatic video from "virtual Ray Lewis" first.
In Connected Careers mode, players can play in online leagues of up to 32 players.
You can only coach as John Madden, you can't actually suit up and play as John Madden. Madden actually never played a down of NFL football -- he was a Philadelphia Eagle in 1958, but blew his knee after a rookie season in which he never saw the field.
The other big change to "Madden 13" is a new physics-based system called the Infinity Engine. This algorithm creates vastly more realistic and unpredictable action by factoring in unique attributes of physics inherent within every NFL player.
"The Infinity Engine considers a player's mass, his speed, and his momentum, and this affects the outcome of every collision," Webber said in his presentation. "The Infinity Engine changes the outcome of every single play."
The E3 trailer for "Madden 13", featuring a bizarre and overly dramatic virtual Ray Lewis, can be seen below. The game hits shelves August 28.

I'm glad to hear The Office is drawing the crowds in the states. It was the 'must see' show over here a couple of years ago. Ricky Gervais (Brent) has gone on to make another great show that's recently finished its run over here, called Extras. With Samuel L Jackson, Ben Stiller, Kate Winslett and Patrick Stewart on the cast list, playing themselves, its got to be worth a look.
I also wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't introduce you to Peep Show. Not what it seems, I assure you. It's one of the best British comedies of the last ten years. And the first series is on DVD too. Priceless.

Jon-Don partners up for new product line
November 19, 2007
Jon-Don has partnered with Planet Guard to introduce a new line of products that "go green and beyond," the company said.
PG Natural Green TLC, PG Carpet Cleaner and Rinse and PG Degreaser/Cleaner are formulated with the environment in mind. "Ordinary cleaning products contain fillers that offer no cleaning ability and are simply used to bulk up the product…green cleaning products need more of their safer, active ingredients to help them clean as well as well as non-green cleaners with their more-caustic formulations. More active product means less filler," the company said.

The problem, though, Elmouth, is that people like you make learning by doing near impossible for people unfamiliar with the dungeon. Most of the randoms that I have run dungeons with are perfectly content to stick around for wipes as long as they are armed with the information to get progressively better.
Instead, though, there's always one guy in the group who adopts this holier-than-thou attitude and starts berating and belittling people who don't instantly get the mechanics. The fact that someone is unfamiliar with the fights doesn't automatically make them a newb. Yelling without constructive feedback is part of the reason so many people hate that dungeon.

Considering selling Francis..I love this guy but he was kind of a random splurge, and I feel like he needs a better home. He's a wild arctic red fox. He has all paws and all claws, no pads. His ears are missing the cartilage. He has a slip on his face in a diamond shape, doesn't look too bad though, you can see it in the first picture. Other than that the pelt is very nicely intact. Professionally tanned, supple leather and the fur does not shed. No bad smell.
The top picture is his face currently, rehydrated and reshaped, it's a bad quality photo and his color is washed out in it. The other pictures show off his color better, those ones are before I reshaped his face.
Also if you'd like, I can secure some straps on the sides of his face so that he can be tied upon your head and his body can drape over your back like a headdress.
Private message me offers.
