Silomax Maize
Silomax is a range of silage inoculants that have been specifically formulated for different forage crops. Each product has been designed to contain 4 common components that have individually formulated to produce the best results in silages made from Grass, Legume, Maize and Whol forages.
Silomax Maize contains lactic acid bacteria for fermentation control, a specific stabilising lactic bacterium for enhanced aerobic stability, specific enzymes for improved fibre digestibility in maize. It contains lactobacillus brevis, which produces acetic acid to retard the growth of spoilage yeasts and moulds, increasing stability and reducing losses at pit face. Silomax Maize has been specifically designed to achieve maximum effect in maize crops under European conditions. Available in granular (25kg) and liquid (150g).
I. Role of Lactic Acid Bacteria
Silomax formulations contain a two strain mix, proprietary to Micron, comprising a Pediococcus which dominates the upper pH range together with a Lactobacillus to drive the pH drop to completion Together they rapidly ferment a wide range of sugars into lactic acid to drop the pH of the crop. As the pH falls below 5, this stops the growth of spoilage bacteria and also inhibits the plant's natural protein degrading enzymes. This results in a stable silage with minimum nutrient loss.
The production of the best quality silage depends upon the action of lactic acid bacteria rapidly converting sugar in the crop into lactic acid. The strains of lactic acid bacteria in Silomax have been selected to grow over the entire ensiling pH range
II. Role of Acetic Acid Bacteria
Silomax products contain Lactobaccillus brevis which produces acetic acid to retard the growth of spoilage yeasts and moulds to give greater stability to silage crops and the TMR rations that they comprise.
One of the major losses that occurs in forage preservation is the spoilage and loss of dry matter that happens when a silage clamp is opened. While it was closed, oxygen was excluded from the forage and therefore aerobic spoilage organisms were inhibited. Now open, ingress of oxygen either at the face, or more dramatically when mixing a TMR, activates these organisms which rapidly proliferate. Initially yeasts, and subsequently moulds, utilise the lactic acid as a food source producing heat, feed value losses, palatability problems and ultimately limits on animal production.
III. Role of Enzymes
Micron's R & D program has identified new and more effective enzymes for use in silage inoculants. Working in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh, this research has determined what the correct combination of enzymes should be and the optimum amount of enzyme that should be used for different forage types. These breakthrough enzyme formulations have shown significant increases in the digestibility of treated forages with improvements of up to 20%. This has been achieved because these enzymes are effectively able to separate the carbohydrate from the lignin in the fibre, which fully translates into animal performance data.
Triple G Farms
On an 1800 cow herd, milk production increased by more than 2 litres per head when Silomax treated silage was added to the ration. This extra production was lost when the treated silage was replaced with untreated material from the same source.
IV. Role of Microbial Stimulants
Freeze dried bacteria are present in a dormant state in silage inoculants and can be slow to become active when added to silage. Silomax inoculants contain specific components which stimulate the bacteria to ensure maximum activity once rehydrated.

Another anxious Sunday lies ahead for Sydney coach John Longmire, as he awaits injury updates on co-captain Jarrad McVeigh and impact forward Gary Rohan.
Both Rohan (leg) and McVeigh (calf) were hurt in the first half of Saturday's 36-point semi-final win over Adelaide at the SCG.
The Swans have just a six-day turnaround before shaping up to a rested Geelong at the MCG.
Sydney lost two players, ruckman Kurt Tippett (jaw) and back Callum Mills (hamstring) after last Saturday's qualifying final defeat by GWS Giants.
Both remain in doubt for next Friday's game, while scans on Rohan and McVeigh will determine if either of those have any chance of facing Geelong.
On first look, luckless Rohan appeared to have little hope of playing next week after he was hurt following a marking contest seconds before halftime.
Rohan, who has missed well over 50 per cent of Sydney's games through multiple injuries since his debut in 2010, was stretchered off the ground and was hobbling around after the match.
"Gary copped a knock on the side, I don't know if it's a structural thing, so we'll have to see how bad that is," Longmire said.
McVeigh came off in the first half and did resume for a short period after halftime, before leaving the game permanently.
"We just didn't want to keep pushing it and after we bad a look at him run around, we thought thats enough," Longmire said.
"He said it was too soon to make a call on whether Tippett or Mills had any chance of playing next week.
"Kurt was able to some training for us two days ago, he did a couple a couple of drills and ran around alright," Longmire said.
"I'm sure he'll train this week; I'm not sure about Callum yet."

The line is a link-up of two established problems; a 15 move Font 7c+ added to an already beefy Font 8b/+. It first rose to fame as French master Jacky Godoffe's project, but despite falling from the last move Godoffe never managed to complete the problem.
Bergasse first climbed Quoi De Neuf Acte 2 in May this year (see a video HERE) and was inspired to try the full line.
Bergasse is no stranger to hard climbing having red-pointed routes of F8c. The new problem is some 25 moves long and verges on route status, requiring huge power-endurance for success.
Can a problem such as this be compared to a short Font 8c bloc or would it be better to give long link-ups like these a route grade, as has been proposed for some of the long links in Hollow Mountain Cave in the Grampians, Australia?
The grade debate will rage on, and yes we need a benchmark, but grading is not an exact science and just as one person's proposed 8c is no consensus, neither is a first repeater's downgrade to 8b+.

Computer Security Expert Available for Interviews on Hacker Attacks on The New York Times
Article ID: 598720
Released: 1-Feb-2013 10:15 AM EST
Source Newsroom: Johns Hopkins University
Available for logged-in reporters only
MEDIA ADVISORY: Computer Security Expert Available for Interviews on Hacker Attacks on The New York Times
The New York Times reported this week that Chinese hackers have repeatedly attacked the newspaper over the past four months, "infiltrating its computer system and getting passwords for its reporters and other employees." The newspaper stated that "the attacks appear to be part of a broader computer espionage campaign against American news media companies that have reported on Chinese leaders and corporations."
Following the disclosure by the Times, the publishers of The Wall Street Journal reported that its computer systems also had been infiltrated by Chinese hackers, apparently to monitor its China coverage.
Available for interviews on this topic is Avi Rubin, a professor of computer science in The Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering and technical director of the university's Information Security Institute. He has written or contributed to books on computer voting and Web security. He is associate editor of ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, associate editor of IEEE Security & Privacy and an advisory board member of Springer's Information Security and Cryptography Book Series.
Rubin says the New York Times cyber-attacks "are interesting in that they highlight the differences between state-sponsored hacking activities and smaller efforts."
"When a well-funded, resourceful adversary targets an organization, they succeed more often than not," he says. "Had the New York Times not enlisted AT&T to monitor their network, this penetration could have continued indefinitely, with the Chinese government accessing emails and files of NYT employees and even monitoring the microphones and video cameras on their computers."
He adds, "This underscores the importance of being vigilant and having multiple layers of security. I don't think there is a target out there that is immune to compromise by another nation-state. This cyberwarfare escalates the threat to levels not previously considered by most organizations."
To interview Rubin, contact Phil Sneiderman.


text: This beautiful oval bowl may have been made in the Miseroni family workshop in Milan or the Ottavio Miseroni workshop in Prague at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The bowl and its foot are carved from a single piece of agate. The variations in patterns and striations of the stone are remarkable, as are the colour tones, which range from red to grey, white and lilac. The thinness of the carving and the high polishing has made the bowl almost translucent. The exterior is carved in low relief with a sophisticated design of ornament in the Mannerist style, comprising acanthus leaves, curling scrolls and alternating gadroons and square-ended tongues, arranged in a graduated, radiating pattern. Similar ornament is found on a number of surviving hardstone vessels known to have been produced in the Miseroni workshops in Milan or Prague, or the Imperial workshops in Prague, often under the direct patronage of Rudolph II, Holy Roman emperor (1576-1612). Although they each have different combinations of ornament, the use of the square-ended tongues points to the same source of skilled carving and lively invention. The gold and enamel mounts are later replacements, possibly dating to the second quarter of the nineteenth century. They are not as sophisticated in execution or design as seventeenth-century enamelled gold mounts, nor are they in the same style.

Orac's recent post, A Real Death By Homeopathy, led me to dig through the archives at my old blog and reprint one of my first posts, this one from 6 January 2006. As a natural products researcher, I often see homeopathy associated with herbal medicines, the latter of which has often been the source of beneficial pharmaceuticals. In sharp contrast, homeopathy is based on a faulty 19th century principle that is the direct opposite of dose-response pharmacology and I intended to comment briefly on the distinction, as stimulated by a misleading picture on the cover of one of my favorite print magazines.
I love Ode Magazine – much, much more often than not.
Today, I have a bone to pick.
In the aftermath of the 2004 US presidential election, I had to cancel my subscription to The Nation just because I got so depressed about negative news coming into every conduit of my house.
Ode is a Dutch-based mag that offers original and reprinted stories describing where people and ideas are working around the world to create positive change. From their mission statement: "We publish stories that bridge the gap between thinking and doing, between rage and hope, and the painful gap between the rich and the poor. By doing so we build peace and sustainability."
Cool. A breath of fresh air when everyone is screaming at one another. And, largely, Ode succeeds. Until this issue, when I ran screaming from my mailbox like Steve Martin in The Jerk.
In the January 2006 issue, Kim Ridley offers an overview of homeopathy as "a healing idea whose time has come – again?" The article does wisely posit, "Is homeopathy a 200-year-old hoax, or a powerful paradigm for healing?" But the cover statement (above) that homeopathic remedies produced much higher survival rates than conventional medicine during the 1918 influenza pandemic is poorly substantiated in a related article. More disturbingly, an Indian homeopath who uses these remedies to treat cancer is quoted as saying, "The only things I don't approve of are chemo and radiation."
Together with surgery, I know of no two other modalities that HAVE been shown conclusively to produce long-term cancer remissions (I hate to use the word 'cure'). Yet the article irresponsibly provides further details on how to seek this 'healer' who claims to have cured 80 percent of cancers over the last 10 years.
Homeopathy is an late 1700s/early 1800s practice of using extremely dilute preparations, largely of plant extracts and toxic metals, to treat diseases based upon the so-called 'law of similars'. The philosophy that 'like cures like' was first espoused by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann who took high, conventional doses of plant medicines, observed the symptoms produced, and then used extremely dilute versions of the same plant to treat diseases that produced similar symptoms. For example, the vomit-inducing syrup of ipecac is offered in an extremely dilute form as a homeopathic treatment for any disorder where the patient is experiencing vomiting.
Where homeopathy is most controversial is in the claim that a remedy becomes more potent as it is diluted. Even experts quoted cannot account for how this is scientifically possible, although some invoke a sort of "quantum physics" change in the structure of water. Hmmm.
More erudite fellow bloggers have already commented more concisely on the implausibility of homeopathy. Even the British journal The Lancet, one of the most alternative medicine-friendly among high-impact conventional medical journals, published results last year of a meta-analysis demonstrating that homeopathy is no better than placebo.
But where I object further is when photographs of herbal medicines are placed within an article on homeopathy as is done throughout this issue of Ode. Herbal medicine is NOT homeopathy. Herbal medicine and the use of pure chemical constituents from plants still subscribe to dose-response pharmacology: that the biological response varies in direct proportion to the dose or concentration of the remedy. While some medicinal plants are used as a source for homeopathic treatments, the rationale for dosing in medicine vs. homeopathy are diametrically opposed. Lumping together herbal medicine with homeopathy gives the former practice the same air of impossibility and detracts from the demonstrated benefits and future promise of using plants as a source of novel therapeutic molecules.
Many would love to see homeopathy proven as an effective medical practice. What's not to like: non-existent doses of a remedy that cure diseases without any side effects.
Anecdotes abound. Show me the data. Until then, I find homeopathy difficult to swallow.
Note added 7 Nov 2007: The Challenge to Professionalism Presented by Homeopathy (free PDF here) is superb 1996 article written by pharmacy professor, W. Steven Pray, that appeared in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education. While written for pharmacy students, it is an outstanding teaching resource to teach critical thinking skills to all health sciences students and can even be used for discussions with high school students.

CARTERET — Approximately 600 people attended a Grand Opening ceremony yesterday in Carteret, welcoming P.C. Richard to Carteret and showcasing their long-awaited 400,000 sq. ft. retail center and warehouse. Presentations were given by Mayor Dan Reiman and members of the Richard family.
Reiman announced in November that construction on the retail portion of P.C. Richard & Son's Carteret facility was recently completed. The company, one of the most rapidly expanding electronics retailers in the metropolitan area, first began construction on its warehouse & retail center in 2009, and has recently joined Carteret's Urban Enterprise Zone.
The retail center is now open and stocked for the holiday season, according to company representatives.
The pre-existing 65,000 sq. ft. former CRP facility has been restructured, according to Gerard Construction Corp. representatives. The entire property conversion and development has called for the remolding of a 279,385 sq. ft. warehouse, distribution facility, and the construction of a 20,000 sq. ft. office building, and a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse expansion. Once completed, the total area of the new facility will exceed 400,000 square feet.
In addition to the new Carteret retail and clearance superstore, 15 acres of existing light industrial space has been converted into office and warehouse/distribution space for PC Richard & Son's management operations.
Through redeveloping the existing structure and property, P.C. Richard has saved 25-30% on construction costs, according to Site Superintendent Ron Oiler.
To date, all construction has been performed through union labor, with the creation of over 70 construction jobs through this phase alone.
"The opening of P.C. Richard & Son is a milestone in Carteret's economic development," Reiman said. "Their arrival will help redefine West Carteret as a consumer destination while creating private sector jobs, and has already allowed for over $15 million in union construction work. With its history of quality service, and convenient location adjacent to the N.J. Turnpike, this P.C. Richard superstore is yet another watermark in the growth of our business community, and the continuing expansion of our commercial tax base."
In 2008, the borough entered into a $100 million dollar redevelopment agreement with A.J Richard & Son, Inc. (Parent Company of the P.C. Richard's Home Electronic Super Center) for Phase I of the West Carteret Minue Street Retail Redevelopment Area.
As part of the redevelopment agreement between the Borough of Carteret and P.C. Richard's, the company would begin construction on a retail and clearance superstore on Minue Street, fronting the New Jersey Turnpike.
Carteret (UEZ) Urban Enterprise Program certification will provide P. C. Richard & Son with state tax benefits and employment incentives, and consumer incentive through the reduced sales tax rate of 3.5% on all retail sales. Reduced sales tax have helped provide a competitive edge for attracting customers to participating businesses throughout New Jersey.
"We expect P.C. Richard to serve as the welcome mat to further commercial growth in West Carteret," Councilman and Finance Chair Jorge Diaz added, "this is one of many large-scale improvements that are helping redefine Carteret as a regional destination for shoppers and other businesses. Despite Governor Christie's re-channeling of U.E.Z. funds, we expect Carteret's continuing participation in the program to help foster considerable economic growth in this area."
Pieter Christian Richard, a Dutch immigrant, worked as a milkman in Brooklyn when he opened a hardware store in 1909 with his wife, Adelta, in a small space they rented. They eventually moved to a building they bought in Queens, and in order to stimulate business, began offering credit, accepting as little as 50 cents a week. P.C. Richard & Son later made claim to being the oldest appliance store in New York, if not the entire country.
Their son, A. J. Richard, became president of the company in 1947, when his father retired. There was a second Queens store in 1952, when P.C. Richard opened a third in Bellmore, a community in Long Island's Nassau County, by which time the company was selling television sets, as well as radios and a variety of home appliances. Honesty and integrity became hallmarks of the company's success, and as populations continued to fill the two Long Island counties east of New York City, P.C. Richard grew with them.
In 1986, P.C. Richard had 16 stores, including five newly opened in Queens, ranking ninth among major appliance dealers in the United States, with sales volume of $96 million in these appliances alone. The company had sales in excess of $200 million in 1987 and was the largest General Electric dealership in the nation. Hundreds of appliances were on display in its stores, which averaged 10,000 to 11,000 square feet in size. By this time Gary Richard had succeeded his father as president and corporate headquarters were located in Hauppauge, Long Island.
In the summer of 1995, P.C. Richard's built a new warehouse and corporate headquarters in Farmingdale, the size of 15 football fields and the largest on Long Island. In 1996 P.C. Richard opened its first Manhattan store by taking a 20-year lease on a three story building in the Union Square area. With the opening of this outlet the chain had 38 stores, up from 31 in 1995 and including its first store in Westchester County, New York, and owned 22 buildings. Its average showroom offered 5,000 items, including personal computers. P.C. Richard's 1995 fleet of 60 trucks and 35 trailers was averaging 1,000 deliveries a day.
In 2008, PC Richard and the Borough of Carteret entered into a $100 million dollar redevelopment agreement for the West Carteret Minue Street Retail Redevelopment Area. P.C. Richard recognized the potential value of the Carteret location, and the Borough recognized that P.C. Richard, a part its regional history and a business mogul, would be a welcome addition to its business community.

E-cigarette causes flat fire
They are supposed to be safer than real cigarettes, but now an e-cigarette is being blamed for causing a fire in a flat.
Live updates
No smoke, but still a fire - e-cigarette to blame?
How can it be possible? e-cigarettes aren't alight so how can one be blamed for causing a fire in Dorset? That's the line of investigation for fire experts in Dorset after a blaze in a flat in Poole.
Nearly 30 residents in flats had to leave their homes after an e-cigarette charger caught alight. Dorset Fire and Rescue said the blaze on the 9th floor of the building on Parkstone Road started just before 10 am.

Prepare for 5nal Destination
That's what they're calling 'Final Destination 5.'
Upping the ante for titles of sequels with numerals subtly jammed into them, the wordsmiths at New Line and Warner Bros. have decided to call the fifth Final Destination movie — which you read about here first — 5nal Destination (probably not pronounced "fivenal destination"). Also, the film's first scene will take place on a collapsing suspension bridge. 4wesome. [Bloody Disgusting via Movieline]

Verizon (and Google) Helped U.S. Government to Spy on Reporters
Technology companies willingly provided information to U.S. government agencies to help the Obama administration snoop on reporters from the Associated Press (AP) and Fox news in order to ostensibly crack down on leaks that pose a "threat" to national security.
Verizon, one of the largest mobile phone companies in the U.S., turned over records on 20 reporters from the AP who were working on a story on Yemen without questioning the government. Likewise Google turned over email records on Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a federal contractor, over his conversations about North Korea with Fox news.
This is not the first time that the Obama administration has asked telecommunication companies to turn over records on journalists. In 2010 the federal government asked for the phone records of New York Times reporter James Risen for his investigation of Operation Merlin, a failed attempt by the Clinton administration to sabotage Iran's nuclear program by supplying misleading information on key technology.

New light shed on US government's extraordinary rendition programme
Online project uncovers details of way in which CIA carried out kidnaps and secret detentions following September 11 attacks
• The Rendition Project interactive
Ian Cobain and James Ball
A groundbreaking research project has mapped the US government's global kidnap and secret detention programme, shedding unprecedented light on one of the most controversial secret operations of recent years.
The interactive online project – by two British universities and a legal charity – has uncovered new details of the way in which the so-called extraordinary rendition programme operated for years in the wake of the September 11 attacks, and the techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to avoid detection in the face of growing public concern.
The Rendition Project website is intended to serve as a research tool that not only collates all the publicly available data about the programme, but can continue to be updated as further information comes to light.
Data already collated shows the full extent of the UK's logistical support for the programme: aircraft associated with rendition operations landed at British airports more than 1,600 times.
Although no detainees are known to have been aboard the aircraft while they were landing in the UK, the CIA was able to refuel during operations that involved some of the most notorious renditions of the post-September 11 years, including one in which two men were kidnapped in Sweden and flown to Egypt, where they suffered years of torture, and others that involved detainees being flown to and from a secret prison in Romania...

Scahill spoke at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy NY on May 22, 2013 on the eve of President Obama's address on drone policy, just after Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. wrote a letter to members of Congress acknowledging the deaths of four Americans, including Anwar al-Awlaki, in counterterrorism strikes "outside of areas of active hostilities." Though these strikes had long been the subject of press reports about the administration's use of drones, the letter marks the first time the classified operations have been publicly acknowledged.

This Isn't the First Time the IRS has Targeted Specific Groups
At first glance, it may seem like another annoying addition to the scandal du jour list: Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that the Justice Department and FBI began a criminal investigation on whether Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees broke the law when they targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status–using search terms such as "tea party" and "patriot."
However, what may initially appear as a political party tit for tat goes much deeper–in that the IRS has long been a vehicle of political retribution (with politics depending on what administration is currently seated in power)–and perhaps most disconcerting of all: tossing the constitutionally guaranteed equal protection clause right out the window.
The recurrent theme of governmental power targeting marginalized political communities has been a consistent, abysmal tradition dating back to the FDR administration. The administration admitted using inflated charges of tax evasion on political targets such as former Louisiana governor and senator Huey Long. And the tactic of wielding the IRS' fiery wrath is an equal opportunity strategy for both sides of the aisle: under the Nixon administration, the IRS created the Special Services Staff (SSS) to look into thousands of perceived political enemies–including reporters who wrote critical stories of Nixon, such as Newsday's Robert Greene, and civil rights organizations like the NAACP.

From Bill McKibben at www.350.org
For the last two years, all across the country, people have said the same thing to us: "We're ready to fight."
And as the planet lurches past 400 parts per million concentrations of CO2, the moment has come, the moment to ask you to do hard, important, powerful things. The last two weeks of July are, statistically, the hottest stretch of the year. This year we want to make them politically hot too. Which means we need you, out on the front line. We need some of you to risk going to jail, and all of you to show up and speak out. And since it's a hard thing to ask, this letter is going to be a little longer than usual. (If you want to cut to the chase, though, the list of actions can be found here.)
We're calling this next phase of the fight "Summer Heat." Over the course of the final weeks of July, from the Pacific Northwest to the coast of Maine, from the Keystone pipeline route to the White House where the administration has broken its promise to put solar on the roof, to the Utah desert where they're getting ready for the first tar sands mine in the US, we're going to try and get across the essential message: it's time to stand up – peacefully but firmly — to the industry that is wrecking our future. Click here to make your stand: www.joinsummerheat.org/map
We believe that mass action can breathe life into even the most hardened political fights, and so these actions will all aim to bring together thousands of people to stand together -- perhaps sometimes on the wrong side of the law...

The government doesn't even claim that Bradley passed information directly to "the enemy" or that he had any intent to do so.

The WikiLeaks founder talks Bush and Bradley Manning.
George W. Bush's new presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Texas has opened with great fanfare, including the attendance of Presidents Obama and former Presidents Carter, Bush Sr. and Clinton. George Bush has said that the library is "a place to lay out facts." What facts would you like to see displayed at his library?
A good place to start would be laying out the number of deaths caused by the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. At Wikileaks, we documented that from 2004-2009, the US had records of over 100,000 individual deaths of Iraqis due to violence unleashed by that invasion, roughly 80% of them civilians. These are the recorded deaths, but many more died. And in Afghanistan, the US recorded about 20,000 deaths from 2004-2010. These would be good facts to include in the presidential library.
And perhaps the library could document how people around the world protested against the invasion of Iraq, including the historic February 15, 2003 mobilization of millions of people around the globe.
Many people worked hard during the Bush years to protest the wars, but the Bush administration refused to listen. It was very demoralizing for people to think that their efforts were for naught.
They should not be demoralized. I believe that the opposition to the Iraq war was very important, and that it actually altered the behavior of US forces during the initial invasion of Iraq. Compare it to the 1991 Gulf War, when massive numbers of Iraqis, both soldiers and civilians, were killed. In the 2003 invasion there was a lot more concern about casualties. The protests rattled their cage....

Boston: This is what a police state looks like
Boston — Using war jargon associated with Iraq and Afghanistan, authorities have repeatedly described the blasts that killed three people and injured 176 at the crowded Boston Marathon on "Patriots Day," April 15, as "IED bombings," for improvised explosive devices. Many of the injured suffered horrific amputations and shrapnel wounds.
Since then, a common sentiment shared among people here has been, "This must be what it looks like every day in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Over the next four days, people in the greater Boston area experienced a police state operation that many also described as a preview of martial law.
Thousands of heavily armed and mechanized National Guard troops, military police, FBI SWAT teams and federal agents of every stripe — from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the Drug Enforcement Administration — mobilized to assist the Boston police lockdown of the downtown area. At the same time, the media began a nearly uninterrupted 24/7 coverage of the "manhunt."
TV newscasters breathlessly glorified a "courageous civilian" for allegedly tackling a "fleeing Saudi national" whose hands were "suspiciously burned" at the bombing scene. Boston police set up an armed guard at his hospital room and federal SWAT teams raided an apartment building in Revere known to house hundreds of international students, displaying bags of "seized evidence" to the cameras.
A CNN reporter repeatedly shared his scoop with the world, straight from "sources at the highest level of law enforcement," that authorities were focusing on a "dark skinned, Black male seen with a package in surveillance video" at the scene shortly before the blasts....

These Obama airstrikes are launched knowing that very often there is "collateral damage," that is a form of "so sorry terrorism." How can the president explain the vaporization of a dozen pre-teen Afghan boys collecting firewood for their families on a hillside? The local spotter-informants must have been disoriented by all those $100 bills in rewards. Imagine a direct strike killing and injuring scores of people in a funeral procession following a previous fatal strike that was the occasion of this processional mourning. Remember the December 2009 Obama strike on an alleged al-Qaida training camp in Yemen, using tomahawk missiles and – get this – cluster bombs, that killed 14 women and 21 children. Again and again "so sorry terrorism" ravages family households far from the battlefields...

Baghdad Burning Ten Years On...
... I'll meet you 'round the bend my friend, where hearts can heal and souls can mend...
April 9, 2013 marks ten years since the fall of Baghdad. Ten years since the invasion. Since the lives of millions of Iraqis changed forever. It's difficult to believe. It feels like only yesterday I was sharing day to day activities with the world. I feel obliged today to put my thoughts down on the blog once again, probably for the last time.
In 2003, we were counting our lives in days and weeks. Would we make it to next month? Would we make it through the summer? Some of us did and many of us didn't.
Back in 2003, one year seemed like a lifetime ahead. The idiots said, "Things will improve immediately." The optimists were giving our occupiers a year, or two… The realists said, "Things won't improve for at least five years." And the pessimists? The pessimists said, "It will take ten years. It will take a decade."
Looking back at the last ten years, what have our occupiers and their Iraqi governments given us in ten years? What have our puppets achieved in this last decade? What have we learned?
We learned a lot.
We learned that while life is not fair, death is even less fair- it takes the good people. Even in death you can be unlucky. Lucky ones die a 'normal' death… A familiar death of cancer, or a heart-attack, or stroke. Unlucky ones have to be collected in bits and pieces. Their families trying to bury what can be salvaged and scraped off of streets that have seen so much blood, it is a wonder they are not red....

A Pledge to Iraq Veteran Tomas Young
I never met Tomas Young. However, I strongly identify with his story as he and I joined the military for the same reason -- to fight those responsible for 9/11 . However, I was far luckier than Tomas Young as I never had to endure the crippling, and ultimately fatal wounds, he received in Sadr City in 2004. There is no real way for me to put myself in such a situation as it would be surreal to anyone who will never face such hardships. Tomas Young has now reached a point where his pain is too unbearable to continue living. Before he goes, we should all show him a bit of recognition. It is crucial that we let him know that his voice was heard and his message will echo on for long after he is gone.
From what I have read, Tomas Young is a patriotic man who loves the United States. His outrage with the 9/11 attacks motivated him to join the military to pursue the real culprits.
After all, it was our generation's Pearl Harbor. After the attacks, many brave Americans were standing in military recruiting lines ready and eager to seek retribution for their fellow citizens who died on that fateful day. Tomas Young was one of them.
I enlisted for active duty in the U.S. Army in an effort to deploy to Afghanistan and fight those who actually attacked us on 9/11. Like Tomas Young, I found my patriotism used for an unrelated and unnecessary military conflict -- the Iraq War.
In a recent letter written to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Iraq veteran Young clarifies the misuse of his patriotism.
"I would not be writing this letter if I had been wounded fighting in Afghanistan against those forces that carried out the attacks of 9/11. Had I been wounded there I would still be miserable because of my physical deterioration and imminent death, but I would at least have the comfort of knowing that my injuries were a consequence of my own decision to defend the country I love."
When I returned home from Iraq, I spoke out strongly against the war. I was able to do so without any handicaps or bodily limitations. Tomas Young fought the same fight while being confined to a wheelchair. Even with his extreme physical limitations, Tomas Young was able to convey the true, harsh realities of the Iraq war to the American people.
The power of his message came from his experience, vision, and, sadly, his crippling and now mortal injuries. His testimony is unimpeachable, as he gave his body to a needless agenda-driven war that left most of us concluding 10 years later that the Iraq war was a mistake...

system operates on the same power requirements as a 40 watt light bulb!
What are the annual maintenance requirements?
UV lamps have a useful life of approximately 9000 hours which means that the lamps
require annual replacement. The UV light may offer illumination beyond 1 year, however
there will not be enough UV energy to provide adequate disinfection. Proper maintenance of
any pre-treatment is also required. The sleeve should be cleaned at least once a year.
How do I clean the quartz sleeve?
If the quartz sleeve becomes stained, remove the sleeve from the reactor chamber and
clean with a commercially available scale remover such as Lime-Away or CLR. Always use
an acid based product.

Garen Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello to you all.
This is my first submission :D
So go easy on me :P
This guide is to detail (Small detail) on a combat/Tank Garen.
I hope you find this guide east to follow and feedback is greatly welcomed.
Garen the Combat/Tank:
This build mainly focuses on Damage but has a tone of defense to keep you going a long time with out basing to much. The main Idea is to hit hard and survive and if needed tank.
Garen works really well early and mid game but suffers a bit late game.
All Damage with 9 points in Defense
you can vice versa the Mastery for better defenses and still manage to dish out some hits
The Runes are all damage a crit runes with Armor Pen since Garen is all bout Physical damage Armor Pen is to good to pass up.
Summoner Spells:
Ignite: Nice anti healing and damage. Using the ability will help you get closer to your Ultimate and is a nice partner to your Judgment Ability
Exhaust: Once again a great ability against casters and real good combo with your Judgment and Ultimate abilities. Also work well with other champs to get the kill on elusive targets.
Ninja Tabi: This is a nice item to have mind you any Movement speed item is great so it up to you. I chose this once as it has armor and dodge will will help mitigate damage and if you dodge (depending on your Masteries) you get a small boost in speed
You can also get boots os Swiftness or Berserkers Greaves.
Randuin's Omen: This should be the second item to get CD reduction HP and Regen. The Regen plus Garens passive work very well, this will keep you in the lane much long take a bit more punishment and survive longer, the slowing proc if great if being chased or focused as it will give you the much need time to counter attack or run like hell. The Active is also a must slowing all targets in an area for you to kill or for another Champ to help bring down. In in a group fight where the enemy is chasing or running can really hurt then as it will allow hard hitting AOE champs to take advantage and do some damage before they kill you or get out of range (Many a time has this saved my butt and turned the tide in a fight. Watching them get slowed trapped then blown up)
Next Atma's Impaler and a Sunfire Cape
Warmogs: Another great Tank and survival item more Hp more HP regen (once again passive YAY) and more HP and regen for kills you will never have to base again :D)
the 6th item: is all up to you and what you are fighting.
Atma's Impaler: for more armor and crit and the extra damage with all the HP you will have
Frozen Mallet: for Much more HP and damage with a slowing proc.
Infinity Edge for Crazy Crits and more Damage
Starks Favor: for more group utility
You can damage and tank all wrapped into once *** kicking package
So early game:
Get yer boots
then work on the Shield
Mid Game:
Atams and Sunfure and a start on Warmogs
Late Game Chose your item and go to it Tank, kill and Win

Last week I expressed my love of rustic decor. See my post with examples {here}. I also promised to show you some of the ways we've showcased natural materials in our own home.
You guys are probably familiar with our white washed walls in the living room and dining room. I'm so glad we experimented with this treatment. It could have easily been a swing and a miss (considering we didn't have a clue what we were doing), but it turned out to be a home run (at least in our opinion!). We love they way it makes the room feel casual and cozy while adding character.
Of course one of my favorite things in our entire house is the dining room table my husband built from wood we tore out of the house. It brings texture and warmth to our informal dining space.
And back in the living room... we added mirrored accent chests to each side of the fireplace soon after we moved in. They brought a little bit of glam and dimension to the space, but have you noticed the finish on them?
The creamy paint between the mirrors has a distressed finish which allows them to fit in quite nicely (not too Hollywood glam for our wood paneled room).
I recently added an old barn wood frame to our master bedroom. The dresser display never felt quite right. Everything was a little too "cold" for my liking.
I first thought about changing the artwork, and just before Christmas when walking through historic Franklin with hubs, his mom, and some of her friends we saw this beauty...
I loved the entire look of it, but with a sold sign (and ridiculous $600+ price tag anyway) we immediately thought a DIY was in order. Hubs spouting off, "I can make that" was like music to my ears.
But THEN my sweet mother-in-law remembered she had a very similar frame sitting in her garage. She said we can take a look at it next time we were in town and keep it if we wanted. For real?
Ok, now I was excited. I was hoping this would be just what we needed for our master.
So then the dresser vignette went from this...
To this...
First I thought about replicating the canvas and different quote
but ended up leaving it just like this...
I love it leaning up against our current canvas!
I even love the rustic tangled wire on it. Adds character, don't you think?
On another note, we also recently had five dead trees removed from our yard. Yes, FIVE! I'm glad we did it in the winter so hopefully we won't miss the leaves as much. Overall, I'm just glad they're outta here though. I'd rather have a little less shade then a tree truck through my house!
Why I'm telling you about our dead trees?
Because I asked the nice tree guys to cut me two stumps about 2 feet tall. My original plan was strip the bark and make plant stands for each side of the door... or something.
However when I came home, I was very happy they obliged my odd request, but I didn't know how BIG they would be! I'm pretty sure a friend of ours had back pain for a few days from moving one of them into the garage for me! Oops.
Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them.
Any ideas?
Plant stand? Really big cake stands? End table?

Where to find information about dogs
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Online is one of the places where to find information about dogsEverything you want and need to know about dogs is available somewhere on the Internet.
This is the easy answer to "where to find information about dogs." Or anything, but we will stick to dogs.
For example, if your dog is sick, but you're not sure what the diagnosis is, you can hook up with Just Answer and get an answer to your question from a vet. This is a cool option for a worried pet owner: it's quick and it saves you a trip to the vet, although the answer may prompt you to hurry your dog in for treatment.
A good place to start is on the Iams dog health website, which gives you the lowdown on every breed. After reading about poodles, for example, you can decide if this is the right dog for you and your family. Iams informs you what behaviors are unique to specific breeds and what characteristics define breeds. You also learn about dog personalities, behavior tips, grooming and health. More than 150 dog breeds are featured on this site.
Many dog supply websites are also full of information for dog owners. For example, In The Company of Dogs is a stellar site for people who share their lives with canines. You can find just about anything you or your dog needs pertaining to his care and health. Browsing the products will give you ideas for solutions to dog care and dog training concerns.
The I Love Dogs website is a veritable wealth of information when it comes to dogs. You can glean information on what types of supplies you need for puppies and grown dogs, and on adopting dogs; dog names; medicine for dogs; dog breeds and breeders; recipes for dog food, dog training and shopping and just about anything you need to know if you are a dog owner.

In addition to providing product listings, you will find descriptions of medication and guidance for maintaining your dog's health. This makes life a lot easier when you can make your purchases on-line and, they are delivered to your front door in short order.
The Humane Society of the United States has an excellent site that keeps animal lovers abreast of what is going on in the world in regard to animals. This organization does a terrific job saving and protecting animals that would otherwise be discarded, euthanized, mistreated and abused.
The American Kennel Club site is another go-to site for information about dogs. The AKC provides information on various topics such as health insurance for your pet. Pet Healthcare Plan offered by the American Kennel Club helps you afford the high costs of veterinary treatment. If you insure more than one pet, you will get a discount. The plan also covers reimbursement for neutering or spaying your pets and will pay for boarding of your pet or for a pet sitter if you are hospitalized, which is a wonderful option for pet owners. Care of your pet when you are unable to provide it yourself is a great concern among owners.

My head's been underwater for the last few weeks getting the startup website ready to go live. So this post has been brining longer than these duck eggs. For those of you who have been nudging me offline, thanks for your curiosity and patience!
Salted duck eggs were a much loved treat when I was growing up in Singapore. The simplest and so very pleasurable way to eat them is to hard boil them then flake them into a bowl of steaming hot plain rice congee. The rich golden yolks, in particular, are my favourite part of a Chinese mooncake. When mashed, the yolks add a mind blowing kick when fried with corn, crabs or prawns (those recipes when I get more practice).
A throwaway conversation with my Auntie Swee Cheng 2 Chinese New Years ago in Singapore revealed that she brines her own duck eggs. Or chicken eggs, when she's feeling less flush. Salt, water, and a month. That's all you need, she said. So after finishing the remaining months of our global gallavant and finally settling back into a flat of our own after a couple of sublets, I was raring to give it a shot.
A few friends both here and abroad were very curious. Could one really do this at home? Could they really soon have a real alternative to industrially brined duck eggs, especially since rumour has it that food colouring is injected to get their deep orange colour?
The good news is that it's as easy as it sounds. The bad news is that this post might end up reading like an anti-climax. No Ferran Adria style magic or Heston Blumenthal style complicatedness here folks. Still, here goes.
I went with a test batch of 6 beautiful organic duck eggs from the Jacob's Farm stall at the Maltby Street / Druid Street enclave in London.
Then went along with this recipe, from a Minnesota-based farmstead, of all places.
Plastic container, salt, water, raw duck eggs, a water-filled ziploc bag on top to keep the raw eggs submerged, a towel for cover to keep dust and bugs off, and a quiet corner of the flat where I was not likely to inadvertantly kick my little project over.
I turned the eggs over maybe once a week, or whenever I remembered. I think I also let it sit 5 weeks in the end, instead of 4.
One small tip though. When reaching in to rotate the eggs, make sure you don't have any scratches or cuts on your hands. That brine STINGS!
Extract the brined raw eggs, rinse, then place in a pot of boiling water for 15 minutes.
The boiled salted eggs can apparently keep in the fridge for up to a year. But why would wait that long to eat them all?
You can hang on to the brine, refill with water (quite a bit will have evaporated) and get going on a new batch.
Here are the results. I placed a home brined duck egg next to a commercial duck egg here. Can you tell which is which?
I ended up using my test batch of eggs for a dinner party, and played salted duck egg roulette, placing 1 commercial egg amid 5 home-brined ones, waiting to see if anyone spotted any difference. If they did, they were too polite to say anything!
So there you have it. Home made salted duck eggs. Hopefully so steeeeewpidly simple that this will inspire you to try it for yourself at home.
Maybe I'll try a goose egg next. Or an ostrich egg. Hmm....

Elias Da Silva-Powell
English, MA candidate
Using your graduate skills to help broaden your horizons
Meet Elias Da Silva-Powell
By Sharday Mosurinjohn
February 2013
Elias Da Silva-Powell entered graduate school with the intention of studying P.G. Wodehouse, a British author whose writing is often overlooked by literary scholars due to its lighthearted content. But like the prolific Wodehouse, Elias' interests and writerly talents have turned out to be far wider ranging than the work of a single author.
One of these dimensions is a flair for the comedic. While completing his undergraduate degree in English at Queen's, Elias got involved as a cast member in Queen's Players (which he describes, wryly, but accurately, as "a riotous charity fundraising variety show") and mentored incoming writers as a Senior Staff Writer at Queen's weekly humour publication Golden Words (where he remains "the host of their rowdy annual Science Fair").
On the more serious side of writing opportunities, Elias also served as the Editorials Editor of the Queen's Journal, volunteered as a Peer Tutor with The Writing Centre, and won a departmental prize for writing about poetry as well as other awards for academic excellence. Nonetheless, he maintains a sense of humour about his chosen discipline: "there are some misconceptions about English students – that you're a perfect writer, or that you've read everything. You get obscure questions from people, like 'There was this book from my childhood with a talking fork…you must know it, you're an English major!'"
In addition to trying to get involved in just about all areas of the Queen's community, in between Elias' third and fourth year at Queen's he secured a summer student position working at the Ontario Disability Support Program. Working outside of his academic wheelhouse broadened Elias' ideas about what kinds of work his schooling might lead into. After a late-summer promotion, he found himself working in the same provincial government program as an Income Support Clerk and arranged to stay in Kingston after graduating.
When the plan to continue in his summer job fell through, Elias spent a year doing a variety of odd jobs (including bartending, serving, catering, cooking, and exercising his sartorial skills at a high-end menswear shop), before landing an internship at TalentEgg, a career website started by Queen's alumna Lauren Friese. TalentEgg offered "a great crash course in the world of online writing, editing and layout." Working at TalentEgg also brought Elias into contact with "a passionate and highly motivated group of people," as well as "two delightful office dogs I did my best to befriend over the course of the summer."
Some of the articles Elias authored during this time have been republished in the Metro chain of newspapers. One, a guide to navigating social networking events, offers the sage advice "don't do shots." During this time, Elias also co-authored an article on employment paths for arts grads with his workplace supervisor--an article which was later published in the Globe and Mail. "Most recently," recalls the up-and-coming writer, "a piece I wrote about bow-ties was a big hit with a US based bow-tie company, who have offered me a free bow-tie from their catalogue!" The bow-tie sporting student was, in fact, recently featured in a Macleans spread on campus fashion.
Now, as Elias completes his coursework MA, he's involved in a second internship through the English MA program's pilot internship project, with GreenCentre Canada. This green chemistry organization aids in research and development of green technologies "for example, finding a researcher who's doing work in the academy that could be profitable and functional in industry and then helping them get that to market." In this position, Elias has used his new roles to reinforce existing connections, drafting a job-focused article on green chemistry for TalentEgg, as well as arranging for an expert on green chemistry to give a community talk through Serendipity Hall, a grassroots speakers' series founded by a friend of his.
Reflecting back on his trajectory so far, Elias remarks that he's "developed a number of skills and workforce connections I hadn't dreamed of having when I graduated from Queen's in 2011." The past year of "whirlwind changes" has helped him recognize that while he's not quite sure what he'd like to do next, he's confident "that a great deal of opportunity lies in any direction." He owes a large part of his confidence to the support of his family, who have encouraged an attitude of perseverance and resolve in defining his own goals, whatever they may be.
Elias has also recognized a truth about the relationship between school and work that is a valuable one for any arts grad: "a degree in English is as viable a pathway to employment as any other. Like any level of education, its just a first step into unfamiliar territory: a means, not an end."
Whatever path Elias chooses, he's sure it will involve writing in one capacity or another. He's also looking forward to meeting and working with new people. "I love talking to and learning about other people almost as much as I love writing" affirms the enterprising grad student. Envisioning the end of his graduate studies, Elias hopes that future experiences give him "the opportunity to be both a team-member and leader, working with and learning from others."

jemma kidd's i-tech liquid liner at target.
liquid liner is one of my things - i always come back to a thin, winged line along hugging my top lashes.
the unfortunate thing about liquid liners is that they tend to dry up or get goopy after a couple of months, so if you can save some beauty bucks on this frequent purchase, you should. the problem? some cheaper formulas can come out looking like faded versions of the color you see from the outside of the packaging -- i faded black line does not make the statement, "i'm audrey hepburn".
jemma kidd's i-tech liquid liner is available at target - and has excellent color payout (in 7 vibrant shades) and staying power (i kid you not when i say mine i still on from last nite). i've been having fun with covert (a shimmery teal pictured here) and aesthetic (a warm brown similar to urban decay's roach liquid liner). the catch? jemma kidd's liner is a good, but not great, price - $16, whereas urban decay's liner rings in at $18. available at target.com.
editor's note: in accordance with the ftc regulations, please be advised that a sample of the products mentioned was provided to MakeupLovesMe.com.
