The Franklin County Area United Way will host a second agency tour for donors to see firsthand how their contributions improve lives.
The tour will take place next Thursday, July 12, from 8:15 a.m. to about noon.
"The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is so true," said Kim Strubberg, program coordinator.
"We can tell you what your contributions to the United Way provide, but nothing brings it home as well as visiting the agencies and seeing it firsthand," she said.
The tour will begin at the United Way office at 201 W. Front St. in Washington with coffee and pastries.
"OATS buses will then transport participants to Camp Washington, where the kids will melt your hearts," Strubberg said. "Next, we will go to Gerald Care and Rehab to see the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program in action and then Rainbow Activity Center in Union, where you will be inspired by the clients there."
OATS is a United Way agency as well.
In May the United Way hosted a tour with stops at Agape House in Pacific, Harmony Club House, a program of the Crider Center in Washington, and the Four Rivers Area YMCA, also in Washington.
More than a dozen participated in the May tour, including United Way and other nonprofit directors as well as representatives from industry, retailing and the community.
People interesting in taking part in the July 12 tour are asked to call the United Way office, 636-239-1018, by Tuesday, July 10.
The 2012 campaign will kick off in early September. This year's theme is "Helping Others Helps Us All."
The United Way provides funding to 45 agencies and programs that serve Franklin County and the surrounding area.
Through its agencies, the United Way was able to provide help to more than 70,000 individuals in the Franklin County area this past year due to the generosity of the community, Strubberg said.

This is NHS Direct. Name please." "Oh, hello. I wondered if you could just tell me . . ."
". . . what I should do because my child is in real pain . . ."
"Phone number?"
". . . with her ears. I've given her the maximum amount of paracetamol it says on the bottle . . ."
"GP's name?"
". . . but it hasn't helped and all I want to know is . . ."
". . . can I give her any more?"
"A nurse will ring you back in half an hour to an hour's time."
"But she's crying and crying and it's the middle of the night and I want to know what to do RIGHT NOW."
"She'll ring you back."
The government tells us that 97% of patients have been at least satisfied with their experience of NHS Direct, the telephone helpline set up to give us rapid access to the advice of a nurse. That leaves me in a minority of 3%, and I don't believe that. It makes me wonder who they have asked and how they phrased the question.
The 97% figure has been trotted out ever since the first pilot schemes were assessed, and it was trotted out again recently as we were asked to celebrate the extension of NHS Direct to the whole of England. Call me a sceptic, but when does the British public ever give any institution a consistently sky-high confidence rating like that?
As it happens, I'm four-square behind the principle of NHS Direct. Busy people - and anyone with children is a busy person - like nothing better than to pick up a phone and get some help. Few of us want to bundle a sick child up and drive to accident and emergency. Most of us, although I hear the scornful laughs of doctors already, do not want to call out a GP except for something really serious.
This was not a casualty scenario. I am well familiar with the waiting rooms of ear, nose and throat clinics. We have been down the grommet road. I can talk glue ear with anybody. All I wanted to know was what I could do for the pain my hysterical child was suffering, but on the end of the line was what NHS Direct likes to term "a highly trained call handler" who has a script in front of her, just as she would have if she was taking calls to a mail-order catalogue. I told her half an hour to an hour was no good to me - it would be over one way or the other by then. I was right. The eardrum burst and the pain stopped. Thanks a million for the support, NHS Direct.
Maybe I was unlucky to get an automaton on the end of the phone that night who could have been asking me which size and colour jacket I wanted, for all the sympathy in her voice. I am sure that the nurse would eventually have rung me back and given me impeccable advice, albeit too late. But it seems to me that NHS Direct is failing to fulfil a real need if it cannot offer patients immediate and genuine comfort and support.
We are all increasingly healthy. Most of the problems we are taking to our doctors these days are not life-threatening, and many are not all that serious. Doctors complain about being besieged by the "worried well". These are the patients they and the government hope will be offloaded to NHS Direct. Much of the time they don't need medicine or surgery. They may need to be told to go to bed and get better by themselves. That is the role anticipated by government for NHS Direct.
But many may need reassurance. Christopher Bulstrode, director of education at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, notes a 7% rise in the numbers turning up in accident and emergency departments in spite of our improving health. He blames it on a sort of hypochondria. The public loves to read about medical conditions in magazines and newspapers, he says. But the more people read, the more convinced they become that they have the diseases they learn about.
He does not think NHS Direct is the answer - diagnosis on the phone is too difficult, he says. And unless they get rid of the robots who protect the caring nurses from the potentially frantic public, I don't think it is either.

St Stephen's Chapel replaced an earlier stone chapel built for Bishop Selwyn in 1844. The latter structure designed by Sampson Kempthorne had collapsed in July 1845, only seven months after its opening. The new chapel was designed by Frederick Thatcher and opened in early 1857. It is an aesthetically pleasing, well proportioned structure similar in general appearance to the other 'Selwyn Churches' of the time. The historical significance of St Stephen's lies in the chapel's association with this very important event in the history of the Church of England in New Zealand, its link with Bishop Selwyn and the fact that it occupies the site of one of the first churches built in New Zealand under his direction.
Open: 9am Sunday service only. Additional service at Christmas.

This review is from: Rosewill Powerbank RCBR-13030-WH - White, 13,000 mAh External Backup Battery Charger for Smartphone, iPhone, iPad, & iPod
Pros: Capacity! Fantastic 2 amp charging rates! Included flashlight!
Cons: Something causes the unit to switch off during charging. Size is about that of a 2.5" external drive
Other Thoughts: I read the review about the user stating that they could not get the unit to charge past 50% and thought mine was similar. However, after unplugging the unit and reconnecting it, the unit would continue to charge. The unit seems to disconnect itself about every 25% mark. I'm not sure if that's a heat issue (seems room temperature when I notice it has stopped charging) or if it is some sort of firmware/software issue. Due to the sheer capacity of the unit, 25% is more than enough to charge my phone twice, and very quickly too.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: 990FX Chipset
# of PCIe Slots
Orientation of SATA ports
USB 3.0 native
AM3+ support
Fixed AHCI on AMD's new 900 series SB
Plays well with a junk PSU
Instruction Manual wasn't in broken or incoherent English
New-fangled BIOS with mouse support
Cons: Stigma that ASRock is a lower-end rebrand of ASUS boards.
# of Power Phases
Other Thoughts: Using it to power a 720 BE. Cores unlocked just the same as my old board, a GA-MA790x-UD4P. Seems to be a bit more stable, but could just be psycological. ACHI is pretty nice, now that I can actually use it. Plays well with a somewhat underpowered PSU, as it allows for voltage monitoring/clock reduction. I'd rather have my CPU dip in voltage and clock ~500 MHz (down from the 3.5GHz OC), than freeze up entirely due to a shoddy PSU. Nice innovation
I'm turning 75 this year and I hope this is my last build, apart from maybe throwing in an AM3+ CPU in the future. AMD has a nice system going to support so many chips on one board. I tried my old 6400+ BE in it and that worked too! Maybe throw in a 8150 FX or similar after prices drop, but I'd like to see if Piledriver will have a revision that will fit in this socket too!

Will complete my review after I make this today. Saying to "cook all day" is not good though for high rating. LOL! That means I have to watch it since I don't know how long to cook and that defeats the purpose of a slow cooker. I am borderline excellent cook so I can deal with it.
OMG!! this is by far the easiest family meal to make that tastes the best. Want to impress guests? Make this, serve it with a sprig of rosemary of top, some crusty bread & salad. They will go crazy. That's what I did & I served it all over well cooked brown rice. The sauce just soaks into the brown rice & it is truly amazing. I used chicken thighs & the meat literally fell off the bone & melted in your mouth. The flavor was so unique & savory.
I actually made this for a tinfoil dinner while camping. I used regular cream of chicken soup, regular cream cheese, and used mixed veggies instead of mushrooms. I pounded the chicken breasts until they were about 1/2 inch thick, then layered them on top of cooked rice, sprinkled the veggies on top, and poured the prepared sauce over. I double wrapped it in foil and put the packets in the coals of the campfire for about 20-25 minutes. It was delicious! All the men loved it! And the woman too :)

First 3D Panoramic X-ray Imaging Unit for the Isle of Wight
Islanders keen to learn that the island's main hospital has just installed a new digital 3D panoramic X-ray imaging system, the 'Planmeca ProMax 3D MID', from Gloucestershire-based independent medical equipment supplier Xograph Healthcare.
The new ProMax 3D MID is an extremely compact system taking up no more space than a conventional panoramic X-ray unit. It can meet routine and advanced panoramic imaging requirements, provide cephalometric imaging whilst majoring on its core speciality: cone beam CT (CBCT) of the skull including jaws, dentition, sinuses, airways and the inner ear.
The Planmeca ProMax X-ray imaging system is wheelchair friendly and reduces the feeling of claustrophobia exhibited in some patients due to the open face-to-face positioning;
Amanda Shaw, Superintendant Radiographer at St Mary's Hospital said: "We are very pleased to be the first hospital in the south of England to have the ProMax 3D MID X-ray imaging system. The Radiographers are looking forward to fully utilising the equipment's huge range of clinical applications including imaging for implants and facial 3D rendering."
Simon Pike, Product Manager for Dental Imaging at Xograph Healthcare said: "I am so pleased that St. Marys have purchased this unit, as panoramic imaging and cephalometry performed with the ProMax is even easier and more accurate than ever before. The unit includes standard panoramic imaging as well as advanced panoramic modes giving the option for imaging with improved interproximal and orthogonality of dentition. The system is also able to limit the irradiated dental region in both the horizontal and vertical axis so greatly reducing the dose to the patient."
Xograph's experienced dental radiography and imaging team supply state-of-the-

My dream job is to author non-fiction novels. Although it sounds strange to call that a job, it is a bucket list item that I've had ever since I was sixteen years old. I began writing my life story then and continued to, as life's curve balls began to come at me from all sorts of directions. My mother's death, another loved one's death, a violent assault I experienced in college, unplanned pregnancy, and other experiences created a distorted picture in my head. I began asking all sorts of questions like "why me" or "I must not deserve better than this." My expectations changed and I was constantly on a quest for why do bad things happen to good people. And now, eighteen years later, I thoroughly understand why at sixteen years old, the passion to write was incited. As a result of such unideal circumstances, situations, and experiences, only I could write the stories that only I could tell. And those stories was going to encourage someone else who thought the same things, "why me" or "I must not deserve better than this." Things that had not exactly worked out the way I planned inevitably ended up blessing me and building my character.
I believe my journey and those in my life that I've witnessed has had great impact on my sphere of influence. Turning the negative into positive, and being confident that when the odds are stacked against you, to rise above and stand tall, is ultimately my novel's muse. I've travelled the world since, beginning at age sixteen, and have spoken in rooms full of women in Uganda or Haiti, and have shared that despite anything, you can survive. And not merely survive, but pursue the dreams you may have bottled up, put on a shelf, or tucked under your pillow. I want to write my story and my mother's story, that you can have and live out that dream and discover your purpose being realized. I've learned to think and dream big. I've learned to pray big prayers and have walked through the other side of them being answered.
Somehow putting words on paper is therapeutic in a sense. It motivates me, inspires and encourages me. I'm able to examine and reflect on the happy accidents in life that ended up fueling determination, hard work, dedication, and commitment. During my years studying to receive my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering Technology, more curve balls. I understand why any dream job isn't really a job. The journey that I've been on has created persistence and faith to pursue what I was born to do. For all of us, there is an instinct we are born with to do something that seems so big, that if we said it out loud, people might laugh. But deep down, there is also a confidence that that dream is tangible, only to us. That is why it's called a dream.

Mark McMorris takes 1st in Vail's Burton U.S. Open
March 1, 2013
VAIL – Every other snowboarder on Vail Mountain Friday was ecstatic about the snow dumping from the sky Friday morning – except for the 12 guys competing in the Burton U.S. Open slopestyle finals.
Snow on a slopestyle course equals slower speeds, and the big problem area of the morning was the first jump coming out of the upper features on the course at Golden Peak. Friday morning would be an adjustment following Wednesday's semifinals under blue skies.
"That's where everyone's having trouble," said Eric Willett, who ended up finishing seventh.
The snow continued throughout the day and resulted in the cancellation of the women's slopestyle finals. The guys, however, were able to get their three runs in before conditions deteriorated fast.
The jumps on the slopestyle course equal 15 possible points each, so the consequences on riders' scores are fairly serious if they can't get enough speed into those jumps to throw their big tricks. The wall and rail features on the top section of the course are scored in three sections, for a possible 10 points each. Then the judges gives riders a flow score up to 25 points, bringing the total possible score to 100.
Mark McMorris, the Canadian rider who picked up Winter X Games gold this year with a score of 98 points in slopestyle, took the win Friday in Vail with a score of 83.05. In the best of three runs, it was McMorris's first run that won over the judges.
McMorris's wax technician worked on his board Friday morning, waxing it up to make it as quick as possible on the much softer, snowier course.
"You need to have a fast board," McMorris said. "My wax tech was on it – he did a great job, but it's definitely slow, and I'm just doing everything I can to have as much speed as I can."
McMorris said all the guys who successfully cleared that first jump were taking a similar approach.
"You had to be smart about your line you chose on the last rail – taking a shooter line and staying low to the ground," McMorris said.
Second-place finisher Torstein Horgmo, of Norway, also got his best score on his first run of the morning. The run included a switch backside 540 Indy grab on his first jump, a frontside 1080 double cork mute grab on his second jump and a backside 1080 double cork Indy grab on the final jump.
The jumps – at 60 feet, 65 feet and 75 feet, respectively, on the Golden Peak course – could always get better, Horgmo said.
"I know the pipe is really good – slopestyle has more potential, I think," Horgmo said at a press conference after the event, adding that making the course better could come down to the snowmaking and/or the course building, or both. "We're doing pretty big tricks here and I think there's a lot of expectations for us to do big tricks. I kind of want to put a bit of pressure on for the future."
American rider Chas Guldemond rounded out the slopestyle podium. The Vermont rider said coming to Vail for the Burton U.S. Open – an event that spent its first 30 years in Vermont – was bittersweet, but he also said Vail seems like a good venue choice. He said he thinks the course will be even more progressive next year, adding that he's "glad to be here."

Kia has launched a new small-car assault on the Chinese market with the introduction of the 2012 K2 at this year's Shanghai Motor Show. Based on the company's Rio, the K2 will be offered in both four-door and five-door configurations and should compete with other premium small-car offerings in the market. Kia says the vehicle is the latest in the company's efforts to better match products with local market tastes, and that the K2 was specifically designed inside and out for Chinese buyers. That means that the vehicle wears a new set of headlights and a slightly-altered grille among a few other minor aesthetic adjustments outside.
Under the hood, the Chinese take on the Rio rocks a variety of drivetrain options, including a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 107 horsepower or a 1.6-liter four-pot with 123 ponies. Both a manual and an automatic transmission option are available for both lumps, though Kia hasn't said how many gears are on hand.
Kia says that the company will begin producing the four-door K2 this July at a new facility in Jiangsu province. Five-door production will get under way the following month. Hit the jump for the press release, and stay tuned for the official launch of the U.S.-market Rio that's coming in very short order.

Hierarchy problem
|Beyond the Standard Model
Simulated Large Hadron Collider CMS particle detector data depicting a Higgs boson produced by colliding protons decaying into hadron jets and electrons
|Standard Model
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In theoretical physics, the hierarchy problem is the large discrepancy between aspects of the weak force and gravity.[1] There is no scientific consensus on why, for example, the weak force is 1024 times as strong as gravity.
Technical definition[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A hierarchy problem occurs when the fundamental value of some physical parameter, such as a coupling constant or a mass, in some Lagrangian is vastly different from its effective value, which is the value that gets measured in an experiment. This happens because the effective value is related to the fundamental value by a prescription known as renormalization, which applies corrections to it. Typically the renormalized value of parameters are close to their fundamental values, but in some cases, it appears that there has been a delicate cancellation between the fundamental quantity and the quantum corrections. Hierarchy problems are related to fine-tuning problems and problems of naturalness.
Studying renormalization in hierarchy problems is difficult, because such quantum corrections are usually power-law divergent, which means that the shortest-distance physics are most important. Because we do not know the precise details of the shortest-distance theory of physics, we cannot even address how this delicate cancellation between two large terms occurs. Therefore, researchers are led to postulate new physical phenomena that resolve hierarchy problems without fine tuning.
The Higgs mass[edit]
In particle physics, the most important hierarchy problem is the question that asks why the weak force is 1024 times as strong as gravity.[2] Both of these forces involve constants of nature, Fermi's constant for the weak force and Newton's constant for gravity. Furthermore, if the Standard Model is used to calculate the quantum corrections to Fermi's constant, it appears that Fermi's constant is surprisingly large and is expected to be closer to Newton's constant, unless there is a delicate cancellation between the bare value of Fermi's constant and the quantum corrections to it.
More technically, the question is why the Higgs boson is so much lighter than the Planck mass (or the grand unification energy, or a heavy neutrino mass scale): one would expect that the large quantum contributions to the square of the Higgs boson mass would inevitably make the mass huge, comparable to the scale at which new physics appears, unless there is an incredible fine-tuning cancellation between the quadratic radiative corrections and the bare mass.
It should be remarked that the problem cannot even be formulated in the strict context of the Standard Model, for the Higgs mass cannot be calculated. In a sense, the problem amounts to the worry that a future theory of fundamental particles, in which the Higgs boson mass will be calculable, should not have excessive fine-tunings.
One proposed solution, popular amongst many physicists, is that one may solve the hierarchy problem via supersymmetry. Supersymmetry can explain how a tiny Higgs mass can be protected from quantum corrections. Supersymmetry removes the power-law divergences of the radiative corrections to the Higgs mass and solves the hierarchy problem as long as the supersymmetric particles are light enough to satisfy the Barbieri–Giudice criterion.[3] This still leaves open the mu problem, however. Currently the tenets of supersymmetry are being tested at the LHC, although no evidence has been found so far for supersymmetry.
Theoretical solutions[edit]
Supersymmetric solution[edit]
Each particle that couples to the Higgs field has a Yukawa coupling λf. The coupling with the Higgs field for fermions gives an interaction term , with being the Dirac Field and the Higgs Field. Also, the mass of a fermion is proportional to its Yukawa coupling, meaning that the Higgs boson will couple most to the most massive particle. This means that the most significant corrections to the Higgs mass will originate from the heaviest particles, most prominently the top quark. By applying the Feynman rules, one gets the quantum corrections to the Higgs mass squared from a fermion to be:
The is called the ultraviolet cutoff and is the scale up to which the Standard Model is valid. If we take this scale to be the Planck scale, then we have the quadratically diverging Lagrangian. However, suppose there existed two complex scalars (taken to be spin 0) such that:
λS= |λf|2 (the couplings to the Higgs are exactly the same).
Then by the Feynman rules, the correction (from both scalars) is:
(Note that the contribution here is positive. This is because of the spin-statistics theorem, which means that fermions will have a negative contribution and bosons a positive contribution. This fact is exploited.)
This gives a total contribution to the Higgs mass to be zero if we include both the fermionic and bosonic particles. Supersymmetry is an extension of this that creates 'superpartners' for all Standard Model particles.
This section adapted from Stephen P. Martin's "A Supersymmetry Primer" on arXiv.[4]
Conformal solution[edit]
Without supersymmetry, a solution to the hierarchy problem has been proposed using just the Standard Model. The idea can be traced back to the fact that the term in the Higgs field that produces the uncontrolled quadratic correction upon renormalization is the quadratic one. If the Higgs field had no mass term, then no hierarchy problem arises. But by missing a quadratic term in the Higgs field, one must find a way to recover the breaking of electroweak symmetry through a non-null vacuum expectation value. This can be obtained using the Weinberg–Coleman mechanism with terms in the Higgs potential arising from quantum corrections. Mass obtained in this way is far too small with respect to what is seen in accelerator facilities and so a conformal Standard Model needs more than one Higgs particle. This proposal has been put forward in 2006 by Krzysztof Meissner and Hermann Nicolai[5] and is currently under scrutiny. But if no further excitation is observed beyond the one seen so far at LHC, this model would have to be abandoned.
Solution via extra dimensions[edit]
If we live in a 3+1 dimensional world, then we calculate the Gravitational Force via Gauss' law for gravity:
- (1)
which is simply Newton's law of gravitation. Note that Newton's constant G can be rewritten in terms of the Planck mass.
If we extend this idea to extra dimensions, then we get:
- (2)
where is the 3+1+ dimensional Planck mass. However, we are assuming that these extra dimensions are the same size as the normal 3+1 dimensions. Let us say that the extra dimensions are of size n <<< than normal dimensions. If we let r << n, then we get (2). However, if we let r >> n, then we get our usual Newton's law. However, when r >> n, the flux in the extra dimensions becomes a constant, because there is no extra room for gravitational flux to flow through. Thus the flux will be proportional to because this is the flux in the extra dimensions. The formula is:
which gives:
Thus the fundamental Planck mass (the extra-dimensional one) could actually be small, meaning that gravity is actually strong, but this must be compensated by the number of the extra dimensions and their size. Physically, this means that gravity is weak because there is a loss of flux to the extra dimensions.
This section adapted from "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell" by A. Zee.[6]
Braneworld models[edit]
In 1998 Nima Arkani-Hamed, Savas Dimopoulos, and Gia Dvali proposed the ADD model, also known as the model with large extra dimensions, an alternative scenario to explain the weakness of gravity relative to the other forces.[7][8] This theory requires that the fields of the Standard Model are confined to a four-dimensional membrane, while gravity propagates in several additional spatial dimensions that are large compared to the Planck scale.[9]
In 1998/99 Merab Gogberashvili published on the arXiv (and subsequently in peer-reviewed journals) a number of articles where he showed that if the Universe is considered as a thin shell (a mathematical synonym for "brane") expanding in 5-dimensional space then it is possible to obtain one scale for particle theory corresponding to the 5-dimensional cosmological constant and Universe thickness, and thus to solve the hierarchy problem.[10][11][12] It was also shown that four-dimensionality of the Universe is the result of stability requirement since the extra component of the Einstein field equations giving the localized solution for matter fields coincides with one of the conditions of stability.
Subsequently, there were proposed the closely related Randall–Sundrum scenarios which offered their solution to the hierarchy problem.
Finite Groups[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
It has also been noted that the group order of the Baby Monster group is of the right[clarification needed] order of magnitude, 4×1033. It is known that the Monster Group is related to the symmetries of a particular[which?] bosonic string theory on the Leech lattice. However, there's no physical reason for why the size of the Monster Group or its subgroups should appear in the Lagrangian. Most physicists think this is merely a coincidence. Another coincidence is that in reduced Planck units, the Higgs mass is approximately where |M| is the order of the Monster group. This suggests that the smallness of the Higgs mass may be due to a redundancy caused by a symmetry of the extra dimensions, which must be divided out. There are other groups that are also of the right order of magnitude for example .
Extra dimensions[edit]
Until now, no experimental or observational evidence of extra dimensions has been officially reported. Analyses of results from the Large Hadron Collider severely constrain theories with large extra dimensions.[13] However, extra dimensions could explain why the gravity force is so weak, and why the expansion of the universe is faster than expected.[14]
The cosmological constant[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In physical cosmology, current observations in favor of an accelerating universe imply the existence of a tiny, but nonzero cosmological constant. This is a hierarchy problem very similar to that of the Higgs boson mass problem, since the cosmological constant is also very sensitive to quantum corrections. It is complicated, however, by the necessary involvement of general relativity in the problem and may be a clue that we do not understand gravity on long distance scales (such as the size of the universe today). While quintessence has been proposed as an explanation of the acceleration of the Universe, it does not actually address the cosmological constant hierarchy problem in the technical sense of addressing the large quantum corrections. Supersymmetry does not address the cosmological constant problem, since supersymmetry cancels the M4Planck contribution, but not the M2Planck one (quadratically diverging).

Wrinkles, the imprint of time on the skin3 Dec
Wrinkles are a universal sign of ageing. Nonetheless, even though they are inevitable, their appearance can be delayed by caring for the skin and using techniques and products that have given rise to a huge market worldwide.
Simone de Beauvoir described wrinkles as "something indescribable that comes from the soul", yet few people welcome the wrinkles that appear on their face. Wrinkles, the most visible sign of cell ageing, represent a challenge to cosmetic researchers investigating new ways to retain and increase the skin's hydration and regeneration capacities.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in the last decade the use of non-invasive cosmetic procedures aimed at achieving a younger appearance has increased by 110% in the USA, while use of botox has jumped by 584%. However, the same body indicates that botox could soon be replaced by a new, less expensive injectable product, based on collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. The collagen for this product is initially taken from the patient and cultivated in a laboratory.
Anti-wrinkle science
The number of options available to hold back time and even reverse its effects multiply year on year in the face of growing demand. In the USA, women aged 18 to 24 years spend 200 million dollars (142 million euros) a month on cosmetics, according to the NPD Group market research consultancy. Mintel International points to a market for male grooming products worth 15,000 million dollars (10,558 million euros) in 2010, representing an increase of 1.4% over the previous year. According to the European Commission, mean per capita expenditure on cosmetics in the EU was 128 euros per year in 2007.
Consumers nowadays can choose between two types of products: products containing vitamin A (retinol) or antioxidants, which aim to slow down ageing, and products like Botox that repair existing damage by (theoretically) reducing wrinkle depth.
However, cosmetic researchers continue to explore new ways to preserve the skin's hydration capacity. They are particularly interested in the potential of hyaluronic acid, a viscous polysaccharide used as a wrinkle filler, given that a 2011 report in Archives of Dermatology found that it stimulates collagen production. Some researchers are even investigating human stem cells — which can divide indefinitely without losing any of their potential — and the expression of certain genes responsible for ageing. Unfortunately, however, as pointed by leading dermatologist Jessica Krant in an article published in the Wall Street Journal: "What works in the lab doesn't always work in the real world."
Why does skin wrinkle?
What exactly triggers the wrinkling process that all these techniques try to slow down? Time is unforgiving and the fact that the skin thins as it ages affects its firmness and hydration capacity. Studies of aged skin reveal that the elastin and collagen fibres that give skin its elasticity deteriorate over time. From the age of 20, we produce an estimated 1% less collagen in the skin each year. The functioning of our sweat and sebaceous glands also slows down as we age and our skin becomes increasingly drier as the number of macromolecules ensuring tissue cohesion and hydration decreases. The number of melanocytes producing melanin for pigmentation also decreases and blood vessels in the dermis become less dense, making the skin paler. The formation of wrinkles is therefore inevitable.
These internal changes are also exacerbated by external factors such as alcohol, pollution, smoking and sun exposure, which further degrade elastin and collagen fibres and increase the layer of dead cells accumulating on the epidermal surface.
The fact that no two skins age in the same way has encouraged genetic research. However, the experts all agree that prevention is better than cure and recommend adopting a skin protection routine from an early age.
The golden rules for preventing the signs of ageing are: protect the skin from the sun; avoid alcohol and tobacco; eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, especially those containing antioxidants (e.g. blueberries and artichokes); get enough sleep; avoid stress; and take plenty of exercise. However, this inexpensive recipe proves surprisingly difficult to follow, leading consumers to seek faster and generally more expensive alternatives.

I really like it when I see unusual cosplay. Either popular characters reinterpreted in a new way or more obscure characters brought to life.
Presto The Magician falls into that second category. I know some of you will remember the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the early 1980s but I think it's fair to say we're a minority at this point. It was a fun show though and I think above average for a kids cartoon.
Presto the Magician (yes called a magician rather than Magic User) was a well meaning but frequently ineffectual hero who's magic basically consisted of pulling things from his hat. Anyway... it was a fun show.
Here DashingTonyLima does a solid bit of cosplay as Presto complete with looking for things in his hat.

The gasket on this car hasn't been changed for 120,000km's and was leaking quite badly. New gasket = cleaner engine bay :)

Warning. Serious damage may occur to your engine if the timing marks are not correctly positioned. Only undertake if you have the tools and the confidence for such a job. Please source other advice and guides to compliment this video. Time lapse installation video of removing the z20let timing belt and replacing the water pump. Installing the new timing belt is in part 2.

DSP Group's CAT-iq 2.0 Platform Powers Ooma's Telo Gateway, HD2 Smart Handset and Linx Adapter
LAS VEGAS, Jan 03, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- DSP Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, announced today that Ooma, a leading provider of HD-quality free home phone service, chose DSP Group's XceedR(TM) CAT-iq 2.0 platform for integration into its recently-launched Telo(TM) voice gateway, its HD2 Handset and the Linx adapter.
The DSP Group's XceedR CAT-iq 2.0/DECT6.0 platform enables Ooma to deliver a rich featureset to its home phone customers, providing the market's most complete and affordable home phone experience.
With XceedR CAT-iq 2.0, the new Ooma HD2 handsets offer smartphone features like color display, picture caller ID, cutting-edge HD voice clarity for richer, more natural-sounding conversations, an intercom to talk between handsets, call transfer, 3-way conferencing, handset software upgradability, polyphonic ring tones and more.
The Ooma Linx adapter, also based on XceedR CAT-iq 2.0, wirelessly connects corded terminals such as phones, fax machines or other telephony devices around the home to the Ooma Telo gateway using the latest DECT 6.0 technology.
Based on DSP Group's cutting-edge XceedR single-chip solution, the XceedR CAT-iq 2.0 is a small form-factor DECT module that is easily and cost-effectively integrated into residential gateways and handsets, and is provided with CAT-iq 2.0 firmware and reference software features. This minimizes R&D costs and lowers time to market, while guaranteeing standards compliance.
"Ooma's Telo voice gateway, HD2 Handset, and Linx adapter all benefit from the close cooperation between DSP Group and Ooma," said Toby Farrand, VP of Engineering Operations at Ooma. "But the real winners are our customers, who will enjoy the fusion of the smartphone and home phone experience, and have wireless access to services like HD voice. These new technologies are prime examples of our dedication to delivering the most advanced, complete and still affordable home phone solution for consumers," he concluded.
"A long time partner of DSP Group, Ooma has taken our reference design for DECT/CAT-iq voice gateway module and handset to the highest level of performance in their new products," said Ran Klier, VP Sales and Marketing Europe and Americas at DSP Group. "We are delighted to have our solutions repeatedly selected by telecommunication industry's leaders and innovators like Ooma, who leverage our hardware and software references - which can now be seamlessly upgraded to support the emerging DECT ULE standard, enabling wireless home automation, monitoring and control via one gateway," he concluded.

Q&A with Nkosi Moyo, Instructor And Massage Therapist
Exercise is challenging, and people frequently give up on their fitness routines. How do you keep clients motivated?
Clients are offered generously discounted massages, based on meeting mutually agreed upon goals. Massage is provided by a licensed massage therapist, voted best massage therapist in Athens for two years in a row (2012 & 2013).[We do] short but effective workouts. Exercises are gentle on joints. Classes are small enough for individualized attention.
When and how did you first develop a passion for fitness?
Many [women I worked with] were always complaining about their weight. None of them were ever happy about watching me eat junk food day after day and never gain a pound. Somewhere along the line I realized that if I was able to get them to follow the same simple steps that I followed, they could actually lose some weight.

Month: September, 2009
It's been a few months since I've done a portrait party but the past two weekends I've been at it again. The parties are so much fun. It takes one (semi-organized) mom to put it together, get 4-8 families involved, and assign each family a time slot 1/2 hour apart.
For this party, we chose to do it at Davidson University. There are so many pretty trees, buildings, and walkways. These families are all neighbors and friends and I'm so glad to have met them all. Most of the families stayed even after their session was over to let the kids play together and watch what I was doing. It was so much fun for all of us!
Here are some sneaky peeks….
I always love to photograph boys. Truthfully, I am a total girlie girl. I have been since I was born. As a child, I loved to play dress-up, have tea parties, and mothered about 10 Cabbage Patch dolls (this was the 1980's we're talking about). I actually did not own a pair of jeans until I was almost 10 years old- I refused to wear anything but dresses. And now I have a little girlie girl of my own to raise in the tradition.
So, as a photographer, working with girls comes quite naturally to me. Boys, on the other hand, are so different. They are rough and tumble, they love to climb, explore, and run. But they also have these really sweet, tender moments. Especially with their mommies. It always melts me when I see it. I love to capture their expressions once I'm able to engage them with the camera. It sometimes takes a high-five hand slap, race (they ALWAYS beat me!), or helping them find a frog or bug. As much fun as it is for them, it's fun for me too, like discovering a whole new side of myself.
Ok folks… I've been promising and finally got it together tonight. Please let me know asap if you are interested in a time slot on one of these days….
I will also be printing holiday cards with client portraits taken in 2009… so if you are interested in that, hang tight and I will be getting that info up in the next few days too.
This was a BLAST! I got to work with the talent behind Daffodils and Daisies, an awesome boutique clothier for children, babies and toddlers. First of all… let me just say that ALL of the clothes were beautiful! I was so impressed. You may recognize one of the little super models. All of the kids did a great job and held up really well. Of course the overload of Smarties may have helped a bit. You must check out Carrie's beautiful clothing for children. And she even has some mother daughter pieces.
I am excited to participate in the Cornwell Center's 6th Annual Fall Festival Celebration and community road race at the Cornwell Center. The Cornwell Center is located at 2001 Selwyn Ave, Charlotte. The festival is from 9:30 to noon. It's going to be a ton of fun with all kinds of activities for kids. There is a 5K and a 1K with the proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald house of Charlotte. Check out the flier here for more information on the event.
I'm going to have a display there and will be there to meet and greet. There will be a free session with me that is going to be raffled off. Also, there is this amazing new canvas that I just received that I'll be showing off (more on that later).
If you're looking for something fun and fall-ish to do tomorrow to celebrate the gorgeous weather we've been having, please come by and while you're there, be sure to say hi to me.
Oh, and there will be a petting zoo in case you need more incentive!!!

My husband loves Kiss my Face shaving cream. It is very moisturizing and smells clean rather than perfumed. He's tried all the flavors but Key Lime and Vanilla are his favorites.

Kiss My Face and call me a baby boy!
Posted by Stevles on Sep 04, 2014
This like all of the other scents or scentless moisture shaves are wildly fantastic value for money. They are smooth, moisturising, as thick or thin a lather as you want (good luck trying to get it too thin.. It just bubbles and bubbles on forever) I cannot rate these shaving creams high enough. I will never look back, they are now my permanent solution to finding a cream that DOESN'T give me an allergic rash. Everything else I've tried has been horrible in one way or another, and I've tried dozens. Most of them just end up giving me a rash, but these are vegan and have no irritants such as fragrance. All of the scents offered are based on the actual OILS of the plant or fruit. It lathers so incredibly well, at a medium consistency (not bubbling, not cement-like) it leaves the face feeling warm and baby smooth. At this price: It is a steal. Buy it, you will not regret it.
very smooth shaving cream

Pros: Burn perfectly every time with no coasters!
Cons: I wish they came in a 100 spindle.
Other Thoughts: Newegg's shipping charges change like the weather, one week ago they charged $3.99 now it's $5.92 for the same item. I don't like inconsistent shipping fees and I found out it's actually cheaper to buy these discs locally, even after paying sales tax.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Easy to install. PCIe slot
Cons: NO record level adjustment, complicated H264 record settings.
Other Thoughts: I did not purchase this card from Newegg, however, I do own one and here's my review. First of all there is NO way to adjust the audio record level, whether it's composite, component or HDMI video. I went back and forth with Avermedia Tech support and after 7 days of emails, responses and screenshots, it turns out they never understood my question at all. Second issue, the original software version 1.7.5 captured video at 29.97 FPS, but the new MediaCenter 3D version 1.7.9 captures at 30 FPS. which by the way, there is NO adjustment for.READ FULL REVIEW

Roundy's Supermarkets Inc. has filed a layoff notice with the state warning that as many as 96 employees at the company's store on S. Main St. in West Bend might lose their jobs when the store closes on March 25. But most aren't in jeopardy, the company said.
A new Pick 'n Save store will open next door to the Main St. store in May, said Roundy's spokeswoman Vivian King. Because there's a six-week period between the closing of the old store and the opening of the replacement, the company was legally required to file the notice with the state, King said.
Many of the workers at the Main St. store will be placed at other stores, King said.
The WARN notice is a legal requirement for employees who work 20 hours or more per week who may lose jobs in a mass layoff situation. There are 66 staff members at the store who work at least 20 hours.
The new store will need 140 workers, King said.

Hundreds more flights have been cancelled at Frankfurt Airport as a strike by ground workers enters its second day.
Mike Peter Schweitzer, spokesman for airport operator Fraport AG, said
"just over 290" flights had to be canceled but that the airport was
otherwise "operating smoothly." Airline Lufthansa said that 68 flights
within Europe had been called off.
Herbert Mai, executive in charge of labor relations for Fraport, said the airport was able to maintain 70 percent of its daily flights on Thursday, the first day of the strike, exceeding its goal of operating more than half its 1,300 daily takeoffs and landings.
"We think that we can process even more today so that the strike repercussions are lower than expected or feared," Mai said.
Workers walked off the job Thursday afternoon for seven hours, and were to be on strike all day Friday.
The GdF union is engaged in a dispute with airport operator Fraport over pay and working conditions for some 200 ground workers.
GdF spokesman Markus Siebers said the strike would be suspended Saturday and Sunday but would likely continue next week, although he said he could not sa

About this Business
From Our Editors
OK, not your uncle. "Bob's your uncle," a century-old British slang phrase, refers to anyone with a bright future, and if Executive Chef Sal Hnesh's previous endeavors are any indication, this restaurant can most certainly count "Bob" among its kin. Renowned for his pizza, Chef Hnesh, a 30-year veteran of the Iowa City culinary scene, hurls dough sky-high before peppering fresh ingredients across thin, medium-thick, pan, or stuffed-crust pies. The menu oscillates from gourmet pizza to homestyle comfort fare such as liver and onions, goulash, shepherd's pie and roast beef served on gravy-smothered sourdough. Many gluten-free options available, as are pasta, salad, and sandwich options, all with generous portions.
