Price: $4.95 U.S. and up depending on type and model
Whenever I go to the beach or pool I usually place my iPhone into a sealed bag to protect the ports from sand and/or water. Portectorz is a simple solution that might allow you to eliminate the need for that sealed plastic bag.
Portectorz consists of silicon port protectors that fit into the lightning port and headphone jack of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. There is even an Airport Express model that includes protection for the Ethernet port. The package I received contained covers for the iPhone 6 and 6s, standard or Plus. It consists of two strips that have the two port protections in one, and also individual headphone and Lightning plugs. The two strips are fitted for the 6/6s and the 6 Plus/6s Plus.
Each item easily fits into the ports and has a snug fit. I don't see how water or sand would get in through them. They are also easily removed.
The only issue with the Portectorz I see is with cases on your device. Depending on the case you might not be able to use these. The strips can be cut to accommodate cases where the individual plugs will not fit, but it might cause an issue with removing them if they are cut too small. My iPhone case cannot accommodate the headphone jack plug no matter how small I cut it.
However, if your iOS device does not have a case or you case will work these are a fantastic, inexpensive, solution for protecting the ports on your iOS devices. There is even a model for older devices with dock connectors.

Still think this wasn't meant to be?
Both teams play inside a system. Pop has one; L.B. has another. Each system has the same origin, the same lineage. If you listen to any player on either team, the first word out of his mouth is "defense."
Transition defense vs. half-court defense. Both got that. Yet both teams can put 115 on the books if necessary. (Game 2 against each other this season: 110-101 Detroit.)
Ball movement. Both do that. Each team has five players who can score in double figures in every game. Yet both can grind out wins scoring 80, too, if necessary. (Game 1: 80-77 San Antonio.)p>
Both teams are injury-free and have no excuses. Both, too, are unfortunately tagged with the most irritating cliché in professional sports: They play the game the right way .
And as different as their styles might look on the court, the Pistons and the Spurs play the same way, rely on the same philosophy and garner the same results.
What they each have that isn't fraternal
Fans in SBC, polite and loyal. Fans in the Palace, wild and loyal.
Both teams are tougher than they were a year ago. One team overachieved (beating Phoenix in five), while the other played better when its back was against the wall (beating Miami without home-court advantage in seven). One was built with trades and free agency, the other with original draft choices. One has a roster full of players whose previous teams didn't believe in them, while the other has a roster full of players who have been the belief of only one organization.
The Pistons have flipped uniforms four times in the last 10 years; the Spurs wear the same unis Gervin wore in the ABA.
The differences are drastic. Yet in the mirror, the Pistons and the Spurs only see one another.
Are you the best? Or am I?
That's the question they ask each other when they look in the mirror and see the other. Who is the best basketball team in existence?
Them? Or them?
It began with the Olympics. The destiny of these two teams' making it to this point, to meet each other, to look and see each other in the mirror, was shaped the minute the United States became the victim of God's plan to humble American basketball.
Roy Willams, an assistant in Athens, won the NCAA championship. Twisted karma. Now, L.B. and Pop, head coach and assistant, respectively, at the Olympics last summer, get the chance to find that same peace.
God knows that not being the best in the world is a heavy burden to carry here, especially when the coaches of the last two teams to win the world championships are considered partially responsible for the status of American basketball until 2008.
But this is about the best in the world. And who that is.
The San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons were meant to be here for reasons that are bigger than the fact that they are the two best teams in the NBA.
Their meeting is a part of the restoration needed for a coaching staff (and a country) to have a better summer in 2005 than they (and we) did last year.
Whoever wins this series will restore, somewhat, the sense of superiority of American basketball, without having to face the world to do it. Because once this is all over, two of the three coaches who got outcoached in Athens, whose team got outplayed in Greece 10 months ago, will have won the two biggest prizes in American basketball.

Comedy Central's Daily Show & Colbert Report Negotiating Online Video Return to Hulu
Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report could soon return to online video site Hulu after a payment disagreement led to their removal in early 2010, the New York Times reported Monday.
Executives from Hulu and Viacom's Comedy Central negotiated about restoring the shows as recently as last month, with both sides seeming eager to resolve the situation, it said. Comedy Central was said to have looked for an upfront payment for the two flagship shows, arguing they would draw new users to Hulu.

Unfortunately more could have been done to clean up this print before rushing it out to DVD. Warner's transfer is marred by a considerable amount of age related artifacts. Though the gray scale is nicely balanced at times, the image often tends to exhibit an overly soft quality that is more blurry than evocative of mood or style. There is also a considerable amount of film grain present in most scenes. Otherwise, black and contrast levels on the whole tend to be deep and nicely balanced. There are no digital anomalies. The audio is mono and suffers at times from a muffled characteristic. Background hiss is detected in quiescent scenes. A brief introduction by the director's son, George Steven's Jr. is all the extras you get. Bottom line; this film still gets my recommendation for a must have Christmas stocking stuffer. It may not be presented here in its optimal condition but regardless, is sure to warm the heart throughout the holidays and beyond.
It has all the qualities of a good family film; sorrow, laughter, you name it. Fantastic.
or as one would say in scandinavian, so meget god (so very good)
Irene Dunn plays "Mama", the matriarch of a Norwegian immigrant family in early 1900's San Francisco. She and "Papa" are poor, but proud, raising several "American born" children. A repeated statement that they "won't have to go to the bank" eventually is revealed as a "white lie" told by Mama so the children wouldn't worry about the family's financial state. There really was no "bank".
The narrator is a teenage girl (wonderfully played by Barbara Bel Geddes), giving the viewer an insight into her extended family, often sharing funny moments, but also showing very touching scenes. A young Ellen Corby ("Grandma Walton") is wonderful as Aunt Trina, who is not taken seriously by her relatives, but gains respect when she is courted and wed by a man who loves and treats her well.
The film introduces each family member individually, then discribes the person, until the viewer seems "at home", knowing everyone well. The film climaxes with the lead character (Bel Geddes) reading the introduction to her first published book ("I Rememeber Mama"). -- This film is a delight to watch from beginning to end. Be sure to keep a box of kleenex within reach! This film has my highest recommendation!

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. -- Former West Virginia University football coach Rich Rodriguez and the University of Michigan have agreed to pay a 4-million-dollar buyout clause and settle a lawsuit that WVU filed after he broke his contract in December.
Rodriguez will pay $1.5 million in three annual payments
beginning January of 2010. The Michigan athletic department will
pay $2.5 million by the end of July and cover Rodriguez's legal
The WVU Board of Governors held a special meeting today and
approved the agreement, settling a case that was set to go to trial
this fall.
Rodriguez quit the Mountaineers in December for the head

failing to honor certain promises. It's a charge denied by WVU.

Close to center city Pisa (6 minutes by bus to the tower). Tuscan country style hotel with lots of green and mountain views. Lot of small birds. Friendly service. Clean hotel.
The room I stayed was very noisy. Thin walls. Bed was not really great, but allright for a few nights. The road to the hotel is classified as unpaved. Drive carefully, very bumpy road. Breakfast is extra 7.50 euro, but only 1 hot drink included. WiFi is free, very good connection. No reception after 11 pm. Secured parking lot (free) behind the hotel.
Cappuccino at the hotel lounge was very good and only 1.50 euro. I did not try out the hotel restaurant (Tuscan menu / Family style)
Hotel: Good price. Friendly service.

Historical Traveler Reviews Airone Pisa Park Hotel San Giuliano Terme
A Breath of fresh air
My wife and I have just returned from a stay of 3 days. Our room was excellent, very spacious, clean and comfortable. The pool area was particularly inviting after a long day sight seeing. The restaurant is attached, but seperately run to the hotel. We ate there on each evening and found the food to be very good as was the service, however as some other guests said, 'the menu is very Italian' well it would be wouldn't it! so if you're not sure ask! as we found the staff very helpful! The food is not cheap but then neither is the quality of the meal. Our only criticism was that the bar was very under used, guests were not encouraged to use the bar area, which if you don't have a car could be a problem. The hotel is ideal for early or late departures as it provides a transfer service at a reasonable rate. Book direct on hotelpisa will probably save you money.

Skip to comments.Mullet-festooned, Make-A-Wish winner charged for brutal knockout game attacks
Posted on 02/10/2014 12:56:47 AM PST by chessplayer
A Massachusetts college sophomore is under arrest for a string of vicious, totally random, knockout game-style attacks against three fellow students.
Dillon Destefano walked up to three people he didnt know and sucker-punched them in the face, reports CBS Boston.
Police say the incidents occurred in the wee hours of Sunday, Feb. 2 at or near Endicott College, a small private school in a small New England town about 25 miles north of Boston. The victims were walking home.
Two of Destefanos alleged victims suffered major injuries. One student, a freshman baseball player, was hospitalized with a broken jaw and needed surgery. His face now contains a titanium plate. His jaw is wired shut. He can only drink through a straw and has lost about 10 pounds.
Another victim has also undergone surgery for a fractured eye socket.
Destefano himself was hurt in the attacks, notes the Boston Herald. He punched his victims so hard that his right hand bloated up.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Since there is now evidence that doing this can kill someone he should be charged with premeditated attempted murder
"Destefano himself was hurt in the attacks, notes the Boston Herald. He punched his victims so hard that his right hand bloated up."
Poor, baby. Too bad he didn't get hot lead pumped into his gut.
No plea bargaining.
When you wish upon a star.
The penalty for the "knockout game" should be death by battery.
100 hits with a 6 foot long 2x4.
And then the remains are fed to pigs.
Enough of this dystopia insanity crap.
I imagine this is one of the only cases that will make a splash in the media, given the lack of a perp named DuShawn or the like.
I predict national attention for this case, since they finally found a white perp. "See, every group does it" will be the refrain, ignoring the reality of who is the vast majority of perps and victims.
I prefer he be suspended with arms and legs bound and be used as a human(?) punching bag.
I really hate the Daily Caller website.
note to self, see someone with bloated hand put hand on gun.
The late 1980's called. They want there hairstyle back
The only people who ever seem to be caught for the knockout game are white. The "system" will not protect you. Protect yourselves. Arm and avoid. I hate that it must be that way.
what the hell is mullet-festooned, the only mullet I kno of are stinking brackish water fish that my father dynamited for chicken feed in 1915.
This is what happens when people with mullets are not locked up as they should be.
My suggestion for those who participate as attackers in the stupid game is to have their forearms amputated. Bet that would stop the game in its tracks if they get caught.
Endicott College Student Charged In String Of Attacks
"Police say Dillon Destefano, 19, of New Jersey punched students in the face without warning in three separate attacks in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 2nd."
What does his hairstyle have to do with this? Headline worthy?
A mullet is a hairstyle enjoyed by a lower socioeconomic demographic which is short in the front and long in the back. For further research watch the movie "Joe Dirt"
There's this case, and the one the Feds are going after (another white accused).
precisely ! lol
It isn't even a mullet. He's got long hair in front too, it's just slicked back.
Yeah, maybe New Jersey produced a hockey player ghetto-thug-coppycat who took it off the ice, but we don't have to answer for the mullet.
So how do you "sucker punch" THREE people?
The way it was written, the three were in one group.
The first one, I can see, then the other two beat the snot out of him.
Well, some national attention would be a good thing.
If the MSM makes this a hot topic, then violent crime & appropriate punishment will also get needed attention. With multiple victims, the Left will not be able to avoid the psychotic brutality of these assaults, thereby illuminating the rampant violence of which we have long complained.
That he is white matters not to me. The race card wont play here unless the victims were black.
After the guilty verdict, he needs a bullet in the back of the head. Send his parents a bill for the bullet.
"The attacks happened within an hour of one another. Two students suffered serious injuries, a third victim had just minor injuries."
Somewhere along the lines, I would expect a writer to use the words "separate attacks". That would be reasonable and spell it out for any reader, right?
Tall order !
I'm figuring that he is a psychopath; but he may be more than just that.
"...most studies agree that patients with Crohn's disease have a high incidence of psychological disorders, the study concludes. Researchers are still trying to determine if the psychological disorders are a symptom or related to the cause of Crohn's disease."
Typically, the frontal lobe of the brain is responsible for judgment. Crohn's disease has been documented to cause Ischemic (loss of blood flow) stroke. If his judgment center has been significantly damaged, he may be incapable of understanding that what he has done is wrong.
Fortunately, a court appointed psychiatrist should be able to determine this quickly.
First sentence states it was a "string" of attacks. That's clear enough IMO.

SHEFFIELD, UK - Lightworks, a supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, will be demonstrating their new Lightworks solutions at the Siggraph Asia exhibition in Seoul, Korea. These new solutions leverage the latest GPU Ray Tracing acceleration technology from NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU.
A new GPU based Lightworks product was previewed to great acclaim at this year's Siggraph Exhibition in Los Angeles and the Company are now pleased to be releasing two new Lightworks products based on this technology:
Lightworks Author is the leading integrated rendering software package used by over 50 major software development companies around the world. The new Lightworks Author module with its GPU acceleration enhances the interactivity of the user experience whilst also providing significant performance improvements for Lightworks customers. This means that both Lightworks customers and their end users can take full advantage of the power of NVIDIA's GPU technology, dramatically improving what is possible in their visualisation work.
Lightworks Artisan is our focused rendering solution providing pre-packaged applications that can be simply integrated within OEM tools. The new version of Lightworks Artisan now incorporates GPU acceleration, as well as an updated user workflow and content library which will allow even inexperienced users to create stunning images very simply and easily. Lightworks Artisan also introduces GPU acceleration within sub-image rendering which enables full GPU acceleration of the Graphics card to render a selected portion of the image.
Steve Gardner, Business Development Director at Lightworks, commented "We've been working with NVIDIA to offer our customers the latest OptiX technology within our Lightworks product set and are delighted to be demonstrating the results of this work at this year's Siggraph Asia exhibition. Our new products give customers the ability to handle larger and larger models and to generate genuinely exciting, high quality renders."
Visitors to the Siggraph Asia exhibition in Seoul will be able to see both of these products being demonstrated by Lightworks in the CoeX Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hall C on the NVIDIA booth #C15.

From a security standpoint, basic server hypervisors have a lot of intrinsic strength. They work at a very low level within a given piece of hardware. They're hardened and task-specific, and the code base is relatively small. And it's a good thing, because the hypervisor enjoys a privileged degree of access to guest operating systems, especially via OS-native virtual machine tools, which allow the hypervisor all sorts of power. Compromising the hypervisor gives complete and total access to all of the data structures that comprise the system itself. But when we asked about hypervisor security, only 64% of respondents to our survey cited concern about this issue. That leaves a staggering 36%--greater than one-third of respondents--who have their heads in the sand. If a system runs code, it can be compromised, and if that code is running everywhere, there's a huge incentive to break it. There have been no fewer than 10 major hypervisor vulnerabilities disclosed this year alone, affecting a variety of platforms. Exploits range from remote code execution vulnerabilities (the most severe) to denial of service, and while VMware has yet to disclose a remote code execution vulnerability, it's only a matter of time. Earlier this year, for example, outdated source code for VMware's ESX hypervisor was posted.
We still see companies with a long way to go to integrate hypervisor awareness into their overall security mandates. The good news is that vendors have been preparing for this eventuality for some time, as we discuss in our full report. Also, about half of survey respondents (48%) have a hypervisor-aware security product in place. An additional 32% plan to adopt one.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Talked to Steven R and he related the report will be release around the third week of March, however it depends upon the release of all the figures.As for the investments, I hope they were dealing in Gold Futures.The cash position divided by the # of shares is quite impressive.I didnt ask, however the div. will no doubt continue and possibly increase to .15 per share. I would think with the shares owned by the company, it would help drive up share price.Bottom line, did they get their software problems solved so as to add to the sales and profits of the company.Time will tell..Charlie Star
Charlie,Any idea why the company doesn't get its annual report audited?

Abstract: This study used stochastic simulation to estimate the CO₂ storage capacity of the Cretaceous Paaratte Formation within the Casino 3D seismic survey area of the offshore Otway Basin, Victoria. Besides interpretation results from primary hard data (well data), relative acoustic impedance was used as secondary soft (proxy) data to model the distribution of the volume fraction of shale (V-Shale). The V-Shale model provided an equivalent model of lithofacies for the clastic reservoir. V-Shale correlated well with the net-to-gross and effective porosity parameters in well log interpretation results. Collocated co-kriging was then used to model the distributions of net-to-gross and effective porosity from well profiles by stochastic co-simulation processes. Using the total pore volume (TPV) obtained from this 3D modelling and storage efficiency factors defined by US DOE-NETL (2012), the potential CO2 storage capacity of the Paaratte reservoir is estimated to be between 11.94 million tonnes (P90) and 128.75 million tonnes (P10) within the geographic footprint of the Casino 3D seismic survey area. The expected TPV storage capacity (P50 confidence interval) is 46.82 million tonnes.

Abstract: We have developed a tight gas amplitude variation with offset (AVO) case history from the Cooper Basin of Australia that addressed the exploration problem of mapping thin fluvial tight gas sand bodies. In the Cooper Basin, Permian Toolachee and Patchawarra sands are difficult to interpret on seismic data due to strong reflections from adjacent Permian coals. This is not the common AVO problem of distinguishing between coal and gas sand, but a more difficult class-I AVO problem of mapping fluvial sands beneath a sheet coal that varies in thickness. We have reviewed local rock properties and concluded that Poisson's ratio is probably the most appropriate rock property to solve the above exploration problem. We have compared various seismic attributes made using the extended elastic impedance (EEI) technique and a rotation of near and far partial stacks. In a synthetic modeling study that included random noise and tuning, we compared the noise-discrimination abilities of three competing AVO crossplot techniques and "rotated" the attributes made from them. These three crossplots were as follows: intercept versus gradient (I-G), full-stack versus far-minus-near (Full-FmN), and near-stack versus far-stack (N-F). Previous papers on this subject have found that (I-G) crossplots had a spurious correlation in the presence of noise that did not occur with the (Full-FmN) and (N-F) crossplots. We found that for our class-I AVO case, (1) the advantage of the (Full-FmN) and (N-F) crossplots disappeared in the presence of tuning, (2) if tuning was present, the optimal rotation angle was determined by the "tuning angle," not by the noise angle or some desired EEI angle, and (3) if the three different crossplots were rotated by their respective "tuning" angles, the results were identical. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z A fast simulator for hydrocarbon reservoirs during gas injection Sayyafzadeh, M.

Abstract: A fast simulator is presented to forecast quickly the performance of oil reservoirs during gas (miscible and immiscible) injection based on transfer functions (TF). In this method, it is assumed a reservoir consists of a combination of TFs. The order and arrangement of TFs are chosen based on the physical conditions of the reservoir that are ascertained by examining several cases. The selected arrangement and orders can be extended. The only required data of this method is production and injection history that are easily accessible. Injection and production rates act as input and output signals to these TFs, respectively. By analyzing input and output signals, matching parameters are calculated for each case study. The outcomes of the method are compared with those obtained by a grid-based simulator. The comparison indicates a good agreement. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Coin collector arrested for grand theft
Article published on
Sunday, Feb. 15, 2009
ST. PETERSBURG - Detectives with the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office arrested a coin collector for grand theft during an undercover investigation at a local coin show.
The investigation began in December of 2008 after a complaint was made alleging that a member of the St. Petersburg Coin Club was stealing coins from vendors at regularly scheduled shows held at the Disable American Veterans (DAV) Hall located at 4801 37th Street North in the unincorporated area of St. Petersburg.
At about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, a detective assigned to the sheriffs office Tactical Apprehension and Control Unit posed as a novice vendor using coins provided by other club members.
Detectives had previously set up video surveillance equipment at the hall and within minutes the suspect, James Ellis Marin, 62, of Zephyrhills, appeared at the display table. Detectives said that during numerous visits to the table in less than an hour the suspect allegedly stole eight coins with a total value of $3,000.
After taking the coins the suspect would return to his own display area and place them into a specific container. When confronted by detectives the suspect attempted to explain away his possession of the stolen coins. He was arrested at about 9:30 a.m. on one count of grand theft.
Anyone with information about the suspect or similar thefts of coins is asked to contact Detective Joesph Burns of the Sheriffs Office T.A.C. Unit, or to remain anonymous you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?
Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Tuesday - June 21, 2011
From: Seguin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Jimsonweed and its toxic nature
Answered by: Brigid & Larry Larson
QUESTION:I purchased a Jimson weed plant at a local plant sale at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center this spring and was quite surprised at how quickly & large it grew. After the first round of flowers faded (a second round is working now), my son noticed the seed pods & asked about them, so I went online to do some research. I was shocked to find out that it is considered toxic and wonder why no one at the plant sale told me this. I live in Central TX and have already read your answer on the invasiveness of the plant, but how toxic is it truely? Will it only make people sick if they eat it or can touching it also produce a reaction? Is it fatal?
Mr. Smarty Plants is sorry you got a hold of a Datura wrightii (Sacred thorn-apple) without learning of its nature; I can only expect that in the hustle & bustle of the plant sale – the topic didn't come up. There are a number of plants in Texas that are considered toxic. This website from Texas A&M gives a list, and on the front page quotes the count of common ones as 106.
Jimsonweed [Datura spp.] is one of the more famous of those though. A description of its epidemiology in Erowid notes that "The plant has been described throughout history as a toxin famous for its mind-altering properties. There are references to it in Homer's Odyssey, and Shakespeare's plays: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Anthony and Cleopatra. ( Ellenhorn MJ: Medical Toxicology, Elsevier Science, NY, 1988)
Similarly, The Wikipedia entry for Datura stramonium notes use as a hallucinogen: " Datura stramonium was used as a mystical sacrament in both possible places of origin, North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples."……" Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies"
Of course, you asked "how toxic is it truly?" This is a very difficult question and neither Mr Smarty Plants nor the Wildflower Center are in any way qualified to address that question. You must see a knowledgeable physician and/or the Texas Poison Network for expert information.
As a little bit of direction: it can be fatal. This reference from MedLinePlus describes the symptoms of Jimson weed poisoning, and this reference from the CDC describes Poisoning From a Homemade stew, happily all in the later reference survived this event. The Erowid references gives the toxins in Jimson Weed as tropane belladonna alkaloids which possess strong anticholinergic properties. They include: hyoscyamine (leaves, roots, seeds), hyoscine (roots); atropine (d,l-hyoscyamine) and scopolamine (l-hyoscine). The same article discusses toxicology. It noted the highest concentration occurred in the seeds and that near-toxic levels of these may be found in an amount on the order of 50-100 seeds. This seems more in agreement with the statement from the North Carolina Poisonous Plants Database which says for Datura stramonium that it is "Toxic only if large quantities are eaten."
Similarly, you ask about touching versus eating. Almost all the references were about ingested material. Still, the wording in Erowid is "These toxins are easily absorbed from mucous membranes and the GI tract". The implication is that if plant material touches a mucous membrane (or a cut) – some of the toxins could be absorbed.
Mr Smarty Plants had two other questions in the database about Jimsonweed. This question discusses its invasiveness and that this can be controlled by deadheading [Likely the one you read, but deadheading is sounding very much like a good practice!] and this question has similar information towards side effects and dangers of Datura spp.

Franz Wilhelm Seiwert
Franz Wilhelm Seiwert (March 9, 1894 – July 3, 1933) was a German painter and sculptor in a constructivist style. He was also politically active as a communist making significant contributions, both graphic and theoretical to Die Aktion.
Seiwert was born in Cologne. He was seriously burned in 1901, at the age of seven, in an experimental radiological treatment. As a result, he subsequently lived with the fear that his life would be short.
He studied from 1910 to 1914 at the Cologne School of Arts and Crafts.[1] In 1919 he met Max Ernst and took part in Dada activities. He was invited to exhibit in the large Dada exhibit in Cologne but withdrew at the last moment. In that same year he formed the Stupid group which included Heinrich Hoerle and Anton Räderscheidt. According to Ernst, "Stupid was a secession from Cologne Dada. As far as Hoerle and especially Seiwert were concerned, Dada's activities were aesthetically too radical and socially not concrete enough".[2]
His first large solo exhibition was in Cologne at the Kunstverein in 1923,[1] and by the mid-1920s he was a leader of the "Group of Progressive Artists", who sought to reconcile constructivism with realism while expressing radical political views. In 1929 he founded the magazine "a-z", a journal of progressive art.[1] This became a vehicle for the exposition of Figurative Constructivism.
Seiwert was actively involved in the international discussions concerning proletarian culture during the revolutionary upsurge following the First World War. "Throw out the old false idols! In the name of the coming proletarian culture"[3]
Seiwert was the leading theorist of Figurative Constructivism describing its origins as "From the expressionist-cubist art-form abstract constructivism was developed, which in turn led into Figurative Constructivism".[4]
When Hitler came to power in 1933, Seiwert briefly fled to the mountain range Siebengebirge, but his health was badly deteriorating, and friends brought him back to Cologne, where he died on July 3, 1933.

Interest groups and the electoral control of politicians
We develop a model of interest group influence in the presence of repeated electoral competition. In each period of the game, an interest group attempts to "buy" an incumbent's policy choice, and a voter chooses whether to replace the incumbent with an unknown challenger. The voter faces a tension between retaining good politician types and rewarding past performance. The model predicts that "above average" incumbents face little discipline, but others are disciplined increasingly - and re-elected at a higher rate - as the interest group becomes more extreme. Extensions of the model consider term limits, long-lived groups, and multiple groups.
