Activator: Mn2+ substituting to Ca2+ (large pic around 610 - 630 nm); also Pb2+ replacing Ca2+ with a coordination number of 6 producing 312-325 nm(Tarashchan) and radiation induced (CO3)3- 403 nm(Kasyanenko); also RRE: Ce3+, Sm3+, Dy3+, Eu3+, Tb3+, Tm3+, Nd3+ (gaft) Stokes (1852) was unable to observe the fluorescence of calcite. In 1859, Becquerel found that fluorescent calcite contained up to 2,7% Mn. In 1867 he studied calcite with his new phosphoroscope measuring a 0,5s for phosphorescence. Lommel (1884) studied calcite using sun as UV source and in 1909, Pochettino employed cathode ray to study the fluorescence of calcite. Sohncke (1896) while investigating polarized fluorescence found calcite from Iceland showing a marked fluorescence. Nichols, Howes and Wilbur were of opinion that Mn traces cause the luminescence of calcite and demonstrated this with certainty in later investigations. Tanaka working in the Cornell Laboratory (1924) also concluded that the chief activator in calcite, crystalline limestone and dolomite was manganese. Pringsheim (1928) found also Mn as the most important activator in calcite. In 1939, G. Fonda made the synthesis of fluorescent calcite by precipitation of calcium carbonate in presence of a manganese salt. But the product is not exactly as calcite in nature. Another technic used to obtain fluorescent calcite is to firing a small amount of manganese salt (about 0,005%) in calcium carbonate for about one hour at 1000° (in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide). Another successful synthesis of luminescent calcite, closely resembling the salmon red fluorescing calcite of Franklin is achieved by precipitating the carbonate from a mixture of calcium and manganese chlorides by ammonium carbonate under special conditions. The optimum concentration for the dilution of the chlorides is 1Mn:30Ca. Dilute solutions containing 1,8% CaCl2.6H2O and 1,5%(NH4)2CO3.H2O, with 50% excess ammonium carbonate have been found best. The precipitation is carried out at about 70°C, followed by holding at room temperature for several weeks before filtering, boiling for 10 minutes gives similar results. With this mode of preparation, synthetic calcite has 30% the intensity of Franklin calcite. (text from Fluorescent Gems and Minerals by Jack De Ment, 1947) In 1943, De Ment identified the uranium luminescence spectrum of calcite from Deming, NM, USA under SW and the Terlingua, Texas, USA calcite. For Terlingua calcite he found a strong band at 410-450nm (purple blue), a bright green band at 450-545nm and a weak reddish band at 545-620nm. The blue long lived phosphorescence have the same spectral bands as fluorescence. De Ment mentioned in 1947 the role of RRE as activator in calcite (Dy, Sm, Y, Ce) and of Thallium.
Natural calcite from Kuerle, Xinjiang, China, shows orange-red fluorescence when exposed to short-wave ultraviolet (UV) light (Hg 253.7 nm). Photoluminescence (PL) emission and excitation spectra of the calcite are observed at room temperature in detail. The PL emission spectrum under 208 nm excitation consists of three bands: two UV bands at 325 and 355 nm and an orange-red band at 620 nm. The three bands are ascribed to Pb2+, Ce3+ and Mn2+, respectively, as activators. The Pb2+ excitation band is observed at 243 nm, and the Ce3+ excitation band at 295 nm. The Pb2+ excitation band is also observed by monitoring the Ce3+ fluorescence, and the Pb2+ and Ce3+ excitation bands, in addition to six Mn2+ excitation bands, are also observed by monitoring the Mn2+ fluorescence. These indicate that four types of the energy transfer can occur in calcite through the following processes: (1) Pb2+ → Ce3+, (2) Pb2+ → Mn2+, (3) Ce3+ → Mn2+ and (4) Pb2+ → Ce3+ → Mn2+.
(Source:Energy transfer among Pb, Ce and Mn in fluorescent calcite from Kuerle, Xinjiang, China,by Aierken Sidike, X.-M. Wang, Alifu Sawuti, H.-J. Zhu , I. Kusachi and N. Yamashita in Revue Physics and Chemistry of Minerals,Vol.33, Nov.2006, see link below)
The unusual luminescence of particular varieties of natural pink calcite (CaCO3) samples was studied by laser-induced time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy at different temperatures. The luminescence is characterized by intense blue emission under shortwave UV lamp excitation with an extremely long decay time, accompanied by pink-orange luminescence under longwave UV excitation. Our investigation included optical absorption, natural thermostimulated luminescence (NTL) and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) studies. Two luminescence centers were detected: (1) a narrow violet band, with max = 412 nm, = 45 nm, two decay components of 1 = 5 ns and 2 = 7.2 ms, accompanied by very long afterglow, and an orange emission band with max = 595 nm, = 90 nm, and = 5 ns. Both luminescence centers are thermally unstable with the blue emission disappearing after heating at 500 °C, and the orange emission disappearing after heating at different temperatures starting from 230 °C, although sometimes it is stable up to 500 °C in different samples. Both centers have spectral-kinetic properties very unusual for mineral luminescence, which in combination with extremely low impurity concentrations prevent their identification with specific impurity related emission. The most likely explanation of these observations may be the presence of radiation-induced luminescence centers. The long violet afterglow is evidently connected with trapped charge carrier liberation, with their subsequent migration through the valence band and ultimate recombination with a radiation-induced center responsible for the unusual violet luminescence.
(Source:The nature of unusual luminescence in natural calcite CaCO3, Michael Gaft, Lev Nagli, Gerard Panczer, Glenn Waychunas and Naomi Porat, American Mineralogist; January; v. 93; no. 1; p. 158-167, 2008 see link below)
Most common orange-red fluorescence is due to divalent manganese, with a co-activator to absorb the UV and transfer the energy to the manganese. Most common co-activator is probably lead. Cerium can act as a co-activator, suspected when the fluorescence is stronger with long wave UV. Magnesium in the calcite will shift the spectrum a bit to the red side. Some calcites fluoresce closer to orange. Both trivalent dysprosium and trivalent samarium are said to be capable of producing orange fluorescence. Pink or yellow fluorescence with a greenish phosphorescence is suspected to be caused by organic activators. Green may be due to interstitial inclusion of mineral activated by uranium (often hyalite).

This should be illegal. Very dangerous.
...like using a siren sound in a radio commercial.
"I love some things, and don't love some other things."
Nice thought, but rather than putting up a fake road sign (which, as said, is probably dangerous and illegal) why not put up a sign with a warning about the sign coming up? That would achieve the same effect.

Located just north of San Francisco in Marin County, Tiburon is a small, charming town by the bay that makes for a great day trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. From world-class restaurants and shops to natural beauty surrounded by beautiful views, there is plenty to do during your visit to Tiburon.
Enjoy the great outdoors by either hiking or biking on some of Tiburon's famous trails, which include Tiburon Ridge Trail and Old St. Hilary's Open Space Preserve, which offers 360-degree views of the bay and is close to downtown Tiburon. Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary is a great place to go if you're looking to encounter some wildlife. Cyclists should check out Paradise Loop, while water loves are encouraged to stop by the Tiburon Yacht Club. If you're looking to experience other outdoor activities, Ring Mountain accommodates everything from rock climbing to horseback riding. Get in touch with Tiburon's historical side by stopping at local points of interest that include the Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum, the Art & Garden Center, and China Cabin – an old sailing vessel from the 1800s. Catch a movie at Tiburon Playhouse, and participate in the local community tradition of Friday Nights on Main – where they close Main Street and and set up tables and food booths to create a warm and friendly town atmosphere.
Due to its convenient central location, Tiburon is a short drive away from many other great towns, which make for ideal day trips. Spend a day in wine country at Sonoma and Napa Valley, which are just 50 minutes away; or visit nearby Muir Woods and Stinson Beach, both are only 30 minutes away. If you don't want to spend a lot of time in the car but still want to venture out of Tiburon, Sausalito is only 15 away minutes by car, while Angel Island is 10 minutes away by ferry.
There are many nice areas to stay in Tiburon, where you can rent a home or condo during your vacation. Homes on the western part of the Tiburon Peninsula offer beautiful views of the city and Golden Gate Bridge, and are conveniently located near the ferry station and Old Tow area. The eastern side of town tends to be less populated and quieter, while the Belvron area is mostly flatland. The Reed Lands area is close to the highway and the homes are located throughout on flatland and in some hilly areas. Bel Aire has lots of larger lots and is popular among families, but does not have ocean views.
Tiburon is only a 20-minute ferry ride from downtown San Francisco, making it a scenic way to travel into town, although getting here by car is another option. A rental car is the recommended form of transportation to get around Tiburon, especially if you want to shuttle back and forth to San Francisco and other towns, but visitors can also take the local taxi service and the Tiburon Shuttle.

text: Bowers & Wilkins' P7 Wireless Are My New Favorite HeadphonesAdam Clark Estes9/19/16 2:12pmFiled to: Bowers and Wilkins P7 Wireless ReviewReviewReviewsBowers and WilkinsB&WheadphonesWireless Headphones412EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Testing headphones is a fun job for a music lover. Even if they suck, you get paid to listen to music. Yet sometimes, a set comes along that makes you want to listen because it's suddenly more fun. The Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless are those headphones for me. Advertisement Bowers & Wilkins is a half-century-old British audio company that rose to prominence during the hifi-obsessed 70s. As my coworker Mario Aguilar told me when I was first reviewing the B&W P5 headphones: "People love their shit." And it's easy to understand why at face value. The $400 P7 Wireless headphones, like the P5s before them, are wrapped in supple black leather and twisted chrome connects the earpieces to a clean but comfortable headband. I prefer the look of other headphones a little bit more, but the P7's are undeniably slick. The shiny chrome frame is wrapped in soft leather, and the ear cups come with comfy memory foam. The audio quality is honestly jaw-dropping. That's a hyperbolic thing to say, but let me offer some context. The best headphones I've ever tried were not wireless. Previously, my favorite headphones were not necessarily the best-sounding. Yet, somehow the P7's are both now the best and my favorite. Advertisement The sheer range and detail that the B&W drivers pumped out left me looking for my favorite old songs so that I could hear them in a new way. A dumb example is the gritty, trebly texture of Diplo's "Florida," something I'd never heard before I tried the P7's. (I say dumb because Diplo is a dick.) Let me offer an even dumber example. "Doin' It Right" by Daft Punk and Panda Bear has deep, buttery bass line that I'd only felt that time I reviewed a subwoofer you wear like a backpack. It's my favorite part of the song, and the P7's deliver with wonderful clarity. Thanks to magnets, the ear cups pop off easily and allow you to connect a cord or reboot the headset. Of course, the real test of any headphones (or speaker) is the ability to deliver a full range of sound with terrific accuracy, all at the same time. "Shady Grove" by Kentucky Thunder and Ricky Skaggs demands as much with the soft shuffle of cloggers in the background and bold banjo drowning out a fast gut bass. I heard the whole detail through the P7's. Ditto for "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck quartet and "3005" by Childish Gambino.It sounds simplistic to say: these are very nice headphones. But the P7's are not perfect. Once you wrest yourself from the luxury of B&W's excellent audio engineering, some familiar headphone complaints crop up. The 40mm drivers are practically inside your ears and pump out hifi-quality sound with impressive clarity. The connectivity quirks of the B&W headphones bug me. For example, it was infuriating when the headphones would disconnect from my device after five idle minutes. Connecting and reconnecting is easy enough, but I don't want to do it multiple times a day. However, once connected, the P7's are dependable and usually interference-free. I can't say the same about premium wireless headphones that cost $100 or $150 more than the P7's. My previous favorites, the Sennheiser Momentum, for example, cost $500 and don't sound as good. Advertisement Sponsored I did have to reboot the P7's a couple times in the span of a couple weeks. This was a 10-second project: the magnetic ear pads pop off and you stick a paperclip into a hole. Why I had to do this remains a mystery, but everything worked fine again after the reboot. I'd also add that the impressive 17-hour battery life meant that they died only once when I was away from a charger. The subtle controls take some getting used to, but I learned to love them more than the complicated switches on other headphones. Somehow, the extent to which the $400 P7s don't feel like ultra fancy, feature-rich headphones is what made them such a thrill. (They also sound amazing, but we've been over that.) The controls are intuitive. The microphone works well. There are nice little audio queues that tell you when you're connected or low on battery—which is much nicer than the robot voices other brands use. The P7s lack touch-sensitive ear-cups that let give you basic controls with the swipe of a finger as well as noise-cancelling. I didn't really miss these features. I also wouldn't pay another $100 for them. But boy, do I love listening to music with these B&W sound boxes. It really does feel like you're strapping mini hifi speakers to your head, and they just pump big sound into your ears. That's the number one job of any pair of headphones. The P7s do that job admirably. And they look awesome! READMEThe brilliant sound quality will melt your face.The flashy chrome and supple leather hardware feels great on your head.Simple controls make it easy to control volume, etc. Solid battery life means you don't have to worry about them dying all the time.Connectivity can be annoying since the Bluetooth disconnects after five idle minutes.But seriously, the Bowers & Wilkins are very nice for the $400 price tag.Adam Clark email@example.com@adamclarkestesSenior editor at Gizmodo.PGP Fingerprint: 91CF B387 7B38 148C DDD6 38D2 6CBC 1E46 1DBF 22A8|PGP KeyOTR Fingerprint: D9330D9B 6CF5E271 7FAC6194 DAA9B51B E09A99B2Reply41 repliesLeave a reply

BEYOND easy last minute Halloween idea... a Golden Goddess look
I know there has to be people like me out there who like the whole going all out for Halloween idea, you just don't happen to be going to any parties so you have a hard time justifying buying a costume. So that's where it can be tricky to figure out what to do because you want to do something that still looks good whether you have a real costume or not. So I came up with this SUPER easy idea that really only has one main product that makes the whole look.
What you need: a golden toned pigment. Yup. That's pretty much it. I used a Jesse's Girl (I know they're sold at Walgreens, I'm not sure if they're in the other drugstores or not) glittery pigment that, when you look at the product in the container looks more white than gold, but when you swatch it, you definitely see the gold.
I used a primer on my lid first (as always) and then I mixed a bit of the pigment with some water and made an almost paste-like consistency (just slightly more watery). I applied that all over my lid up to the crease and in the inner corner of my eye and the outer third of my bottom lid. This technique, where you wet a pigment, is called foiling. I've only tried it a few times before. It makes the pigment more metallic looking and makes them more intense.
From the foiled part, I blended a bit of the dry pigment up to a matte highlight color (for Halloween, I'd probably do this a shimmery color though). I added a light, basic winged liner. And then I went bananas adding that same pigment to my cheekbones. Like bananas (which you cannot see well in the pictures but I swear I look like a metallic sparkly fairy or something haha). To make that more metallic, I did one spray of my MAC Fix + spray on the back of my hand and stippled my Sonia Kashuk stippling brush in it, then I stippled over top of the pigment I had added to my cheekbones. While that was still damp, I added more pigment on top of it so it was ridiculously sparkly and golden.
For my lips, I applied Revlon's "Nude Attitude" matte lipstick and took the same pigment and patted it on top of the lipstick.
And then for hair, I'd probably do loose waves with a gold headband or something (I literally had to run to get my daughter off the bus after I did this, so I didn't make this as well done as I should have) and DEFINITELY gold jewelry (which I don't own, I wear white gold or silver). And if I personally were going to wear this look on Halloween, I'd just rock jeans (or a white skirt or dress) and a plain white t-shirt because I think you'd get the idea of what I was going for without my actually having a costume. Of course, it would be better if you had a costume, but if you don't this can still work.
And once I finished doing this, I got to go to my daughter's bus stop (which is at someone's house) looking like a golden glittery crazy person haha. I wondered if I should have told them why I was wearing that makeup but I just left it alone haha, we'll just let them think I'm insane haha. I know you can't tell from the pictures but I swear, it's SOOO sparkly!
I hope this helps someone out there whether you're wearing a real costume or not! A few minor details would really make this look, I just wasn't prepared to do this haha, it just came to me. I hope you all are having a great week! Let me know what you're going to be for Halloween, I always like hearing what people are being!

Spiderman 3
I managed to see the movie as my Mom's Day treat with MY mom.
I am always torn up about these types of films.
My husband has spent a lifetime writing about these movies. He usually knows the background inside and out and that has left him a tad cynical and usually unable to just sit back and 'enjoy' a show.
I don't see movies with him anymore.
On a level of pure entertainment...I really enjoyed it. It is a LONG movie and I probably could have done with LESS angst from Pete and MJ (I cannot stand what they did with her character).
But the action sequences are fantastic. Flint Marko is great...I like what they did with the character origin and the sand effects are simply amazing. It has a great comic book feel to the action...and the quips and one liners are VERY Spidey.
Venom is scary and I actually wish there had been more of the suit and Eddie Brock.
My main complaint is that the 'comedy' that they have tried to introduce feels forced and awkward. Though seeing Tobey Maguire try to be funny and SLICK was entertaining...I just didn't think the Venom suit would make you a total doofus.
I don't want to spoil it for those who have not yet seen the movie, but I really don't want J. Jonah Jamieson to be a comedic foil.
We meet Gwen Stacey in this 'episode' and I think they did a great job with her. The actress looks just like she should and I am glad they didn't TOTALLY dumb her down. She comes across as a genuine and 'nice' person. Pete should be with her and not frumpy MJ.
So I managed to enjoy it. I didn't look too deep and I didn't listen to all my husbands stories of behind the scenes news and all the issues and complaints that the 'real' fans complain about.
Let me know what you thought about it!

Thanks for the review Crunchy! I am looking forward to seeing this. Angst pretty much goes along with the series so I might be able to tune that out to some degree. But it does get old somethimes.
I can't wait to see how Venom looks. - 5/14/2007 9:16 AM

I saw it this week-end and I liked it. Not to spoil it for others, I just wanted to say that the thing I got confused about in the trailer resolved. I mistook Topher Grace! Probably due to the hearcut.

Can I tell you what bothered me about the movie?
There was too much romance. The calling and leaving messages scenes made me squirm. That is why I'm single. - 5/14/2007 10:22 AM

I am irrationally curmudgeonly about going to the movie theatre, so I'll have to wait for DVD.

I haven't seen it, yet. I can't get over the fact that Lowell is the sand guy, though. How menacing is that?
- Carl V. said...
Overall I was pretty disappointed. The forced humor (you put that very well) really detracted from the story for me as did having way too many characters/storylines going at once and not treating any of them with the kind of time that would have made them completely satisfying. It wasn't horrible, but it was the weakest of the three Spiderman films and one that just left me feel sad.

I was so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o disappointed by this film. I think it would have worked so well had they dropped the Sandman and concentrated on Venom and Peter's dark side. And by dark side, I don't mean his dancing skills.
We learned with Batman Returns that too many villains dilutes the personal challenges. Had they dropped Sandman, Raimi could have focused on developing Brock and creating him as a foil for Peter. Hell...even the Gwen Stacy thing was a toss off, hastily and poorly handled.
But after seeing extended previews for Fantastic Four, I promise you I would rather watch Spiderman 3 again...and again...and again...than watch the further bastardization of the Fantastic Four. I mean, according to reliable sources, Galactus has relegated to being represented by a nebulous cloud. Riiight. - 5/14/2007 4:41 PM

I haven't (and probably won't) see it unless I stumble across it on cable some day BUT Youngest Son (14) loved it -- Middle Son (almost 20) was disappointed.
I was thinking that this was a sign of budding maturity and discretion on Middle Son's part (given the movie's near universal pans by professional critics) until I found that he was most displeased with what he perceived as unauthorized departures from the comic book cannon.
At least he perceived departures from the comic book cannon... Youngest Son did not. - 5/15/2007 6:29 AM
- Archangeln said...
From what I understand, Raimi wanted the villaint to only be Sandman, but they pushed Venom onto him.
Sandman is a cool character, I am sure Raimi wanted to use someone only fans would know about or some such.
However to appeal to the mass audience and used just Venom.
Venom is who everyone wanted to see.
I like that Eddie Brock/Venom was played by a guy who from a distance could pass for Tobeys brother.... - 5/16/2007 8:04 AM

Braxton Cook is one of this generation's brightest up and coming alto saxophonists and songwriters. He has performed alongside Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste and has toured the world many times over with Grammy Nominated Trumpeter Christian Scott all while attending the prestigious Juilliard School. As a band-leader, he has already recorded and released two projects and is now currently working on his debut album. His newest music features not only his abilities as a saxophonist and songwriter, but also features his vocal abilities. Braxton melds all of these elements into his music creating a very unique genre-blending sound that one could describe as Millennial Jazz — accessible to the avid Jazz listener as well as to the R&B and Soul music lover.
"the inclusion of 21-year old saxophonist Braxton Cook, who joined the group during its weekend, engagement, was an inspired choice. Cook's texture and tone channeled the spirit of John Coltrane's "Alabama." From his unwavering high notes to his forceful shouts of anger projected toward the audience…"
"we found ourselves transfixed by the intelligent phrasing and rich tone of a young saxophonist named Braxton Cook"

If you've had a flat tire on your Volvo X90, you may need to remove and use the Volvo's spare tire. After replacing the spare tire with a permanent one, you'll need to put the spare tire back on the Volvo in its storage location. By doing this, you'll have access to the spare tire in case you need it again. Putting the spare tire back on is similar to removing it, except the steps are reversed.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy

- 1
Open the jack compartment in your Volvo to access the two jack rods. You'll need these to lower the spare tire retainer. On five-seat models, the jack compartment is located on the passenger side of the rear cargo area. On seven-seat models, it's located in the centre part of the rear cargo area. Open the cover to find the jack rods.
- 2
Connect the jack rods together. Then insert this tool into the spare tire release mechanism in the centre part of the rear cargo floor. Turn the tool counterclockwise to lower the spare tire retainer. Continue turning until the tool will not turn and the retainer is fully lowered.
- 3
Reach underneath the rear bumper to grab the retainer. Pull it out slightly to have more working room. Insert the centre part of the retainer into the hole in the centre of the spare tire. Turn it vertically to insert it and allow it to rest horizontally once it's through the hole.
- 4
Push the spare tire underneath the rear bumper. Reinsert the jack tool into the release mechanism. Turn the tool clockwise to raise the spare tire. Continue turning until the tool will no longer move. At this point, the spare tire is in its permanent storage position. Pull apart the two pieces of the jack tool and reinsert them into the compartment. Close the lid.

write a note of the adventurous journey of Redcross by which he rescue the kind and queen from the clutches of a dragon? from the epic the faerie queene
1 Answer | Add Yours
In the epic tale 'The Faerie Queene' by Edmund Spenser the knight in the story gets the name 'Redcross' gets his name from a cross the colour of blood painted onto his shield. Redcross has been given a mission by Gloriana (the queen of Faerie land) to take on a gruesome dragon. The knight travels with a sweet and beautiful lady and he has a dwarf aswell, as his servant. A storm bursts out above the companions and they all hurry for protection to the nearest forest. They then discover that have lost their way, and find themselves by a cave. The lady knows the cave and says it is 'the den of Error'. But Redcrosse doesn't listen and goes in.enters He is then attacked by the terrifying beast, Error, and her brood. The beast wraps him in her tail, but he gets free enough to strangle her. chopping her head off. Error's brood then drink her evil blood until they burst and die too. The story is meant to represent the dangers of the catholic church and it's perceived propaganda.

Coz everyone know Suarez is the world's biggest, most disgusting cheater while Higuain's not.
You don't know s**t about football
Ibrahimovic, you should not bully defence like this
Time to take your medicine
Epic, Arsenal attacks are epic, which can only be matched by the epic fail of their defence
I didn't say they don't
Celtic deserves a draw
I would rather have a healthier DMF because Diaby is made of glass.
This is because you are a Man Utd fan, fxxk off!
It shows that no one is replaceable in the football world. btw, good game Gunners, hope Giroud scores soon.
I don't think the Olympic moved the diving event to the football pitch, shame on you Alexis, I hope you are suspended during the next match
Somewhere on FootyTube
We need tough Defensive Midfielder such as Yann M'Vila, not players prone to injury
Barcelona, what a stinking performance
Good job ref for awarding a penalty that does not exist
Only if there was an "unlucky" button for Everton
This is simply awesome for Arsenal. They fought valiantly and lose with honour. If Arsenal play like this in every game, they can conquer every single team
This is the Gunners we want

Certain to please the Concours Judges with a natural clean instead of a "cover-up" type dresser that looks more like shoe polish.
Easy to use. Simply spray it on directly to the whitewall and allow it to work for 5 - 10 seconds. Wipe off the dirt and grime thoroughly.
Removes even the toughest stains.
Once you use it, you will be hooked!
This whitewall tire is covered with dirt, grime and various stains. We use a clean, soft, white towel.
Simply spray the cleaner directly onto the whitewall itself and allow it to work for 5 to 10 seconds and then wipe it off thoroughly. Even the toughest stains can be removed.
For best results use a clean white towel, not a micro-fiber type towel.
This formerly filthy tire is now white and bright and ready for display. Re-applications will increase the beauty without that phony white-washed look.

Tina Malone wants nose job
Tina Malone wants a nose job.
The 53-year-old actress had a gastric band fitted in 2010 and since then has undergone four operations to remove excess skin - including a chin and neck lift, a breast lift and implants, and having it removed from under her arms and stomach - but admits she isn't done with going under the knife to improve her appearance.
She said: "The swelling has gone down and the scarring has faded. I'm feeling great. Everything has been worth it and I'd do it again tomorrow if I had to.
"I'm now really fixated on my thighs - the skin is saggy and I just want to get rid of it.
"The other thing I want to do is fix my piggy nose - I want a nose like LaToya or Janet Jackson.
"I'll get the excess skin removed from my legs and a nose job done at the same time in a couple of months and that will be it."
But Tina insists she isn't "addicted" to cosmetic surgery.
She added: "I'm not addicted to surgery - who'd be addicted to someone cutting you open."
After losing 12 stone, the former 'Shameless' star can't believe the transformation to her figure.
She said: "I weighed myself this morning and was running around the house looking for my camera to take a picture of the scales - I'm 8st. I've not been that weight since I was eight years old. It's just phenomenal to see that number on the scales. I always knew I'd do it one way or another - I thought I'd have to cut my head off to make it to 8st though."
Reaching a dress size 8 has been a goal of Tina's for years.
She admitted to Closer magazine: "For years I've been buying the odd size 8 bikini in the sales, even when I was a size 28 - I knew one day I'd fit into them.
"I used to wear baggy T-shirts over my swimsuits but when I was on holiday last week I wore two of those size 8 bikinis. Who would ever have believed it?"

(EDIT: Ars Technica has a nice technical review of the Nexus One including benchmarks.)
Methodology: SunSpider 0.9 benchmarks were run on a freshly-unboxed Nexus One with no third-party apps installed; a Google account was set up and synced before the test was run; the screen was set to full brightness and a 30-minute timeout so that it wouldn't dim during the test; all other settings were left at their defaults (including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which were left switched off); the phone was connected via 3G (O2 UK's HSDPA network, to be precise); external power was disconnected.
Here are the results:
Google Nexus One firmware 2.1 build number ERD79: 13859.4ms +/- 0.6%
That compares with Medialets's 16500 ms result for the iPhone 3GS. I should caution that those results were from the 3.0 version of the iPhone software, which is now six months old, so there may have been improvements since then. If anyone would like to contribute test results for the latest version of the iPhone 3GS OS, that would be very welcome.
I also ran the benchmark on a first generation iPod touch, which is the slowest device that runs the iPhone OS. This one does have OS 3.0 installed, though, so it is a relatively recent version of the browser:
Apple iPod touch OS 3.0: 45726.2ms +/- 2.2%
Just for reference, I tried the tests on my PC (2.33 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) on the current versions of the popular browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.7: 1126.8ms +/- 1.1%
Google Chrome 22.214.171.124: 522.4ms +/- 2.9%
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.1638: 5013.8ms +/- 1.0%
Apple Safari 4.0.4 (531.21.10): 507.2ms +/- 0.4%

Tiny Insight
Posted January 21, 2009
on:- In: Life
- Leave a Comment
On occasion, I've been known to become obsessive about things. I suspect that I have one of those "addictive personality" thingies. Recently I've gone cold turkey on something that was a pretty big part of my life for quite some time (no, not that, or that, or that—it's not the topic of my previous post or anything else that has an -Anonymous group. Don't worry about me.)
I thought I'd make a post here, firstly to celebrate one relapse-free month, and secondly to record the little insight that it's given me into addiction:
In the past I've sometimes scoffed at other people's addictions. After all, what could be easier than not doing something? If you've acknowledged it as an addiction then you already know that's it's harmful, so just don't do it, alright dummy? But obviously it's not that easy.
Actually, it is that easy… 90% of the time. The difficulty is that temptation is a steady and unwavering companion. It's there when you're feeling fine and busy so you don't even notice it, but it's also there when you're feeling your worst: tired and lonely and in a trough of self-confidence. It's those times when it becomes a genuine battle.
Credit Where It's Due
Posted August 27, 2008
on:A few weeks ago I posted a YouTube video about addiction to debt. The video was quite light-hearted, but in truth, it is actually something I'm genuinely worried about. I've never been very good at keeping hold of money, and things certainly haven't improved since I turned 18 and banks were suddenly very keen to let me spend their money too.
I've done a bit of self-analysis, and my decision-making process for determining whether to buy a particular item goes something like this:
- Do I have enough available balance right now in my bank account or credit card?
- Awesome! Buy it!
That was workable when I was about 10, but I fear that adulthood demands something with a tad more sophistication.
Recently I made what is apparently a classic mistake: The interest rate on my credit card had gradually crept up and up until it was at a ridiculously high level. I decided to get a loan to pay it all off, on the grounds that the loan would have much lower interest and because the loan amount is fixed, so I wouldn't be able to simply borrow each month what I had paid back the month before, as has been my habit with credit cards. Great idea, right? Well, it was until I decided that I wouldn't cancel the credit card that I'd paid off using the loan. I figured that it would be wise (ha!) to keep some credit available for emergencies. After all, it doesn't cost anything if you don't use it, and I might have some unexpected expenses soon. What if I needed to fly somewhere for a business meeting? (Hey, a boy can dream!)
That worked out fine… for about a month. The problem is that while I can make good decisions about money in the short term ('keep that credit for emergencies'), those decisions can't withstand the daily wear and tear of the temptation that comes with having a bunch of someone else's money sitting on a card in my pocket. It happened like this: I've been wanting to get a high-definition TV for a very long time (like, since before they were actually available). I've never been able to afford one. Now, I didn't just wake up one day and say, "screw the consequences, I'm going to spend my emergency money on a new TV". The evil consumer credit industry is a lot more subtle than that. What actually happened is that I went to a supermarket. As part of their ongoing quest to duplicate Walmart's business model, all the British supermarkets have started selling stuff like TVs too, and so occasionally when I'm out food shopping I go and have a wander around the electronics section and fantasize about having a TV as big as the Grand Canyon. No harm in window shopping, right? Well, there isn't too much harm if you haven't got any money, but if you've got some money that you know you shouldn't spend, then the threat level increases substantially.
So, to cut a long story short, over a few weeks I managed to convince myself that it wasn't that expensive, and the minimum repayments wouldn't be that bad, and now I'm the sometimes-proud and often-ashamed owner of a high-definition television that, in all likelihood, I'll still be paying for when I'm 30.
And what have I learned from this? Firstly, I'm simply not able to deal with having credit immediately available without using it. This has happened enough times now that I'm forced to recognize the pattern and I can no longer kid myself that I'll do better next time. I have to get credit cards out of my life. They're simply not compatible with me. It would seem like the best thing to do would be to get another loan (when possible) to pay off the card, but obviously that's how I got into this mess in the first place and I could just end up doubling my debt again. I still think that's what I'll do, though, because as I said earlier I am capable of doing things right in the short term (and this time I would cut up the card immediately when it's paid off). My failing is that I'm not able to withstand the sustained temptation over a period of time. I'm too good at rationalizing things, and given some time, effort and motivation, I could probably make any bad idea seem like a good one.
My Fifteen Minutes
Posted July 5, 2008
on:- In: Life
- 2 Comments
In November last year I made a YouTube video that was, for a change, actually pretty funny (the video was "iHate"). Shortly after I posted it a couple of my subscribers (jrsynderjr and snarkdetriomphe) decided to help me out by getting their friends to all post dozens of comments on the video ("comment spamming") so that it got on to YouTube's "Most Discussed – Today" list, giving it pretty big exposure. That was successful and from there things went crazy and the video got viewed about 50,000 times, with around 500 people leaving comments, mostly saying how cool they thought it was. It was really exciting getting a new comment every 4 minutes or so, and then 48 hours after I posted the video it stopped suddenly (YouTube's "Today" lists are actually for videos posted in the last two days — don't ask me why). In his book, popular YouTuber Nalts says, "The first time you get featured or have a video that goes viral will create a mad rush of adrenaline followed by a sugar crash." — and I can completely vouch for that.
Anyway, the entire reason I mention it is that today I was reading this web comic called "pictures for sad children" (as linked to by Paperlilies), and one of the strips totally reminded me of that ego-inflating experience:

Is Standing Water Really That Dangerous?
Nobody likes a clogged sink or bathroom drain. It makes either place completely useless, while also acting as a conduit for health issues. Drain unblocking specialists such as Walton Plumbing will vouch for that, because of one thing: stagnant water. It's why clogged drains are best dealt with as soon as possible.
The Biggest Problem: Unwanted House Guests
Perhaps the biggest issue with standing water is its potential to be a breeding ground. The World Health Organisation (WHO) stresses that they are perfect for mosquitoes and even dragonflies. They lay their eggs in the water which serves as a home for their larvae. In time, they'll grow into adults which act as disease transmitters. Malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and even heartworm/tapeworm infestations on pets: the list goes on and on.
Not to mention, stagnant water (and moisture from it) also helps mould and mildew thrive. There is a potential for dangerous 'black mould' to grow in damp places. Otherwise known as toxic mould, this parasite loves wet locations and is known to cause respiratory issues, nausea, skin inflammations, and even weakened immune systems.
A Vulnerability to the Dreaded Zika Virus
Maybe you've heard of the Zika virus recently. It occupies much of the daily news recently. Keep in mind that Zika's dangers aren't overblown: being infected during birth can cause serious birth defects. There is also a possible link between Zika and a rare nervous system illness, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which causes rapid-onset muscle weakness.
Unfortunately, the Zika virus can be transmitted by the same dengue and malaria-laden mosquitoes which breed ion stagnant waters. And the only way to get rid of these nasty insects is to take away their home. Avoid stagnant water build-up by ensuring that no container gets to collect water and hold it untouched. Buckets, glasses, old tires, and everything else that can hold water must either be thrown away or stashed. Lastly, keep drains clear so that there is no risk of water pooling around them.
Stagnant water is no laughing matter. Do whatever is possible to prevent it.

Much to my surprise today I found myself popping into the rspca op shop at Burwood - not planned just lucky. Among the many things I bought was this gorgeous little tweetie. $6 and then 25% off!
My 16 year old granddaughter will love it.
They are having a 25% off everything sale at present and I managed to pick up lots of bargains. I asked how long the sale would be going and they told me it would last until they decided they had cleared out enough of their stock. I hope it will last a bit longer - call in and check it out.
I will try to take some more pics tomorrow.

How artificial turf could change the future of soccer in North America

Aye, even better than the classic Lemmings!
The Good
This was the first game I played out of a collection of games I bought with my first PC, so perhaps this game holds some sentimental bond to me to favor it more than it deserves. Nevertheless, I think most would enjoy it, even today. Basically the game consists of controlling 1-4 lemmings armed with paintball guns and navigating them through varied zones (country, moon base, snow, and even legoland) filled with puzzles, enemy Lemmings, and a victory flag or two. Graphics, though low resolution, are colorful and detailed, the music is nice and memorable, sound is exceptionally satisfying (paintball splat), and interface is very simple. Lots of challenge to be found in later levels. Second level of Mayhem "Let's Split" is a favorite of mine, mainly because it demonstrates the many ways your lemmings can be killed (hand reaching out at you, mines, ect)
The Bad
Suppose there's not as much quick thinking like in the original, as you are always controlling them. One thing that may annoy some is that they are rather dimwitted. For example, if you were on a bridge with lava surrounding and you click somewhere across the lava they'll simply walk into death instead of following the path to get there. It doesn't particularly bother me, you just have to think first and click the right area.

By now you all must already know that my favorite column in our daily newsletter is the 'This week in history' section that comes out once every week. So here's some interesting tidbits about what happened in history this past week…
In the world:
July 16, 1945 — The first atom bomb is detonated in the New Mexico desert 120 miles south of Santa Fe. The resulting mushroom cloud reached 40,000 feet into the air as scientists and observers watched from a "safe" 10,000 yards away.
At Microsoft:
July 16, 1984 — Tandy Corporation becomes the first major hardware manufacturer to announce a color implementation of Microsoft Windows. The color software was demonstrated at a meeting of the Boston computer Society on the Tandy Model 2000 personal computer.
This week's featured photo was used in a Tandy advertisement, featuring Windows in color in the background, ca. 1984.
Oh, and there was the Moon launch too..
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 lifted off from a Florida launch pad on its journey to bring the first people from Earth to a safe landing on the surface of the moon. That would also be a nice event to recognize.
We sure have come a long way, haven't we! 🙂
