Still singing the blues – Blue Bell Ice Cream recall expanded
So far, 2015 has been a Rocky Road for Blue Bell. The 108-year-old ice cream company out of Brenham, Texas, has had to contend with listeria contamination cropping up in several of its products. Earlier this year, the CDC found a rare strain of listeria contamination in single-serving ice cream products very similar to the rare strain that caused listeriosis sickness in five patients in a Kansas hospital. Three deaths resulted. The strains were found in three product lines from a single machine in the company's Brenham, Texas plant. Blue Bell immediately recalled the products and announced that they would be discontinued. Furthermore, the machine would be permanently shut down. Then, a few days ago, a second cluster of three listeriosis patients was connected with Blue Bell's single serving ice cream cup produced at its Broken Arrow, Oklahoma facility. Blue Bell has reported that it has recalled all the products manufactured on the same line as the three single serving products found with contamination. The original product recall included: Chocolate Chip Country Cookie: SKU No. 196 Great Divide Bar: SKU No. 108 Sour Pop Green Apple Bar: SKU No. 221 Cotton Candy Bar: SKU No. 216 Scoops: SKU No. 117 Vanilla Stick Slices: SKU No. 964 Almond Bars: SKU No. 156 6 pack Cotton Candy Bars: SKU No. 245 6 pack Sour Pop Green Apple Bars: SKU No. 249 12 pack No Sugar Added Mooo Bars*: SKU No. 343 (Regular Mooo Bars, available in grocery stores, are unaffected, and remain safe) The second group of recalls involved the single serving ice cream cups: Ice Cream Cup Chocolate (3 FL OZ) No UPC - SKU #453 Ice Cream Cup Strawberry (3 FL OZ) No UPC - SKU #452 Ice Cream Cup Vanilla (3 FL OZ) No UPC – SKU #451
The expanded recall, including all products manufactured on the same line as the single-serving cups include: Ice Cream Pints: UPC # 071899-05101 5 Ice Cream Banana Pudding pint - 021217S Ice Cream Butter Crunch pint -021917S Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip pint- 022017S Ice Cream Cookies 'n Cream pint - 030317S, 030617S Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla pint- 030417S Ice Cream Dutch Chocolate pint - 032317S Ice Cream Moo-llennium Crunch pint- 032417S, 032517S Sherbet Pint: UPC # 0 71899-19990 8 Rainbow Sherbet pint 021717S, 021817S, 022317S, 030217S Sherbet Quarts: UPC # 0 71899-18992 3 Orange Sherbet quart - 032617S Mixed Berry Sherbet quart - 032717S 3 ounce Tab Lid Cup: Product # 136 *Institutional / food service cup only Rainbow Sherbet - 022417S, 022617S, 022717S Gold Rim Half Gallon: UPC # 0 71899-03720 0 Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla half gallon - 030917T, 031017T, 031117T, 031217T, 031617T, 031717T, 031817T Brown Rim Half Gallon: UPC # 0 71899-83548 6 Ice Cream Pistachio Almond half gallon - 031317T Light Half Gallon: UPC # 0 71899-73501 4 Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla Light half gallon - 031917T Additionally, Blue Bell Creameries has reported that on April 4, 2015, that the firm began working with retail outlets to remove all products produced in Broken Arrow, Okla., from their service area. These products are identified with a code date ending in O, P, Q, R, S or T located on the bottom of the carton. Listeriosis is a rare but serious illness caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria moncytogenes. Symptoms include fever and muscle aches, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Anyone who develops chills and fever after eating ice cream should seek medical care. Elderly people, newborns and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. The illness can cause miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labor among pregnant women. Consumers who have any of the recalled products in their freezers or refrigerators should throw them away immediately or take them back to the point of purchase. Listeria can grow and multiply even at refrigeration temperature, so the inside walls and shelves of refrigerators should be cleaned and sanitized with one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of hot water. Cutting boards, countertops, dishes and utensils that may have come in contact with ice cream should be sanitized the same way. Continuing to wipe up refrigerator spills as they occur and cleaning out the fridge regularly will help curb the threat of food-borne illness, as will washing the hands with warm soapy water before handling any food items. The FDA encourages consumers with questions about food safety to call 1-888-SAFEFOOD Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern time, or visit the website http://www.fda.gov(/defaulthtm).

Following the Sept 11 terrorist attacks, many car rental companies froze rates and eased one-way rental restrictions and charges in an effort to help stranded travelers get back home. Call centers were deluged with one-way rental requests from travelers caught off-guard by the air traffic shutdown.
"This is an extremely painful time for the entire nation," said Karen Beard, president of National Car Rental's North America operations, on the week of the attacks. "Thousands of travelers need one-way transportation, and we want to do our part to help them get to their destination as quickly and safely as possible."
National Car Rental and Alamo responded to the increased demand by offering a special one-way flat rate of $49.95. The special offer, available through Oct. 5, includes unlimited mileage. There are no drop-off fees or blackout days.
Similarly, in many metropolitan areas, Budget offered one-way rentals for as low as $49.99 per day, with unlimited mileage and no drop-off fees.
"All customers renting from a Budget corporate location and participating licensee locations with open rental contracts as of Tuesday, Sept. 11, will be allowed to return their cars to any U.S. Budget corporate location and participating licensee location without any additional drop-off fees or rate adjustments," said Budget Director of Public Relations Jennifer Sullivan during the week of the attacks.
Budget saw heightened demand for both local and one-way rentals immediately after the attacks, Sullivan said. A fleet and revenue management task force for the company closely monitored rental activity in order to coordinate returns and fleet distribution.
"In the aftermath of the bombing, our one-way business tripled," said Richard Fuller, a public relations executive at Avis. "Because of the increase in one-way rentals, many of our cars are out of position, but we are confident that in a short amount of time the distribution flow will even out."
Shortly after the terrorist attacks, Avis froze all rates, waived all drop-off charges and eliminated any mileage charges.
Through Oct. 15, Avis will offer lowered one-way rates available through its reservations center or Web site. Avis has also donated vehicles to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, offered several relief agencies use of rental vehicles to assist the rescue effort, and donated other items to New York rescue workers.
"We commend our colleagues in the airline industry for their efforts to get air transportation back on track," said Robert Salerno, president and COO of Avis Rent A Car System Inc. "Every since Sept. 11, we have been focused on doing everything possible to let Americans continue their professional and personal lives."
Dollar Rent A Car on Friday announced it has extended rate specials put in place the week of the attacks. Through Dec. 21, customers can request promotion code "USA" for compact cars at $19.99 a day, full-size cars at $29.99 a day, and SUV, luxury or minivan vehicles at $39.99 a day by reserving online or through the call center.
"Dollar immediately began offering special rates to displaced travelers after the tragedy on Sept. 11," said Gary Paxton, president of Dollar Rent A Car. "We determined it was important to expand the offers to assist our customers as they attempt to return to normal activities."
Meanwhile, car rental operations located at or near airports have seen utilization plummet. The public's loss of confidence in air travel safety is starting to take a heavy toll, as Americans scale back travel plans and the airlines in turn announce layoffs and trim their flight schedules.

Lee Daniels' New Show 'Star' Will Debut Following 'Empire' Midseason Finale - Watch Trailer!
Lee Daniels' upcoming series Star is officially set debut on Wednesday (December 14), immediately following the season three mid-season premiere of Empire!
Star centers around three talented young singers, who are desperate for a new start and with ambitions of stardom, as they navigate the cut-throat music business. It stars Queen Latifah and Benjamin Bratt, as well as guest starring roles from Lenny Kravitz, Naomi Campbell and Tyrese Gibson.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Lee Daniels
The 56-year-old show creator got together with the star of the show, newcomer Jude Demorest, and Benjamin at the #PaleyLive premiere of the series held at The Paley Center for Media last night (November 29) in New York City.
"I did this before Trump was in, so we've had to shift course," Lee expressed at the event (via Variety). "I saw America coming to a civil war, I thought, in front of my eyes. The conversations I've had to have with my son. For me there was [Martin Luther] King, Malcolm X, the [Black] Panthers, I remember them vividly. And there aren't any now, so I'm going to invent one in [the character of] Derek [Quincy Brown] and tell his story. I want people to walk away from this knowing we're all one. It doesn't matter that you're black or white. What do you say when you have a sister that is black, and you're white? What do you say? Family is wherever you find it."

What is Activity Tracking Software?
There are many reasons why companies are tracking their employees' computer activity. While increased business use of the internet has resulted in many new opportunities, it has also opened the door for more potential misuse of company equipment. It is possible for employees to send personal e-mails from their workstations, conduct on-line shopping expeditions, access online games, or spend time on social networking websites or other sites that have nothing to do with their work responsibilities. Open access to the web also gives some employees the opportunity to engage in behavior that is inappropriate, illegal, or that can jeopardize the security of the company. Employee misbehavior on the internet can add up to both a waste of money and less productivity for a company. It can also lead to serious liability risks.
Employers have the right and responsibility to track employees' computer activities. Because the workplace owns the equipment, the company can set the ground rules for how computer stations should be used. Many companies already have official policies against using company workstations for anything unrelated to company business. However, with multiple employees, monitoring how people are using computers can be quite a challenge. That is where activity tracking software can really make the difference.
ActivTrak. Activity Tracking Software
ActivTrak is a leading activity tracking software product that employers can use. ActivTrak is loaded with user-friendly features that make it simpler to successfully track employee activity. Using ActivTrak, you can monitor several computer users at once in real time. You can compile useful statistical information on the applications and documents employees have used in addition to the websites they have visited. ActivTrak software even has an alarm system that can warn you of activity that is out of the ordinary. In addition to activity tracking, ActivTrak allows you to chat with computer users and can act as a blocking device to prevent the use of certain websites or applications.
Installed on each workstation, this activity tracking software allows the viewer to take a snapshot of the user's screen as they are working. The snapshot can be refreshed as often as is needed. In this way, an employer can view real time images of multiple users' computer stations.
At the same time, it also records complete URLs for a browser and application usage time and compiles the data into convenient statistics. This method of using the titlebar as a basis for collecting statistics makes ActivTrak different from other activity tracking software.
How can your company benefit from Activity Tracking Software?
A company can benefit from ActivTrak in several ways. Since it gives you a precise picture of what applications and websites are being used, it takes the guesswork out of how your employees are using their computers. It ensures greater employee accountability and productivity by preventing behavior that is a waste of company dollars. It allows you to keep your workstations more secure. It can even benefit honest, hard-working employees because they can be secure in knowing that their employers are able to focus monitoring specifically on those who use company resources inappropriately. Using ActivTrak can help save time, money, and help both employers and employees to remain focused on the business at hand.
Check out some of our case studies (below) to see how actual customers have benefitted from ActivTrak:

There are all sorts of rules of thumb about how much you should spend on a home, but what about that other major expense in your life — your vehicle? Have you ever wondered how much to spend on a car?
I've thought about this question before, but never really considered that there might be an answer. (Well, no answer other than "as little as possible.") But the folks over at BeFrugal have put together a car calculator that lets users figure out how much it makes sense to spend on wheels.
You enter the amount of time you spend at home, the amount of time you spend driving, and the amount you spend on your house (or apartment). The calculator spits out a figure that tells you how much (proportionally) you could spend on a car.
BeFrugal offers these caveats regarding their calculator:
This calculator assumes that you get equal satisfaction from having a nice car as that you get from a nice home. It only takes into account the information that you filled in above. Here are some things that are *not* taken into account:
- Since we are only calculating how much you should spend on the car, and not the house, this calculator assumes that you have made a good (and frugal!) choice with your home.
- A newer or more expensive car is likely to be safer in an accident.
- A newer or more expensive car is less likely to leave you stranded.
- A hobby car cannot be evaluated using this calculator, as the purchase is based on enjoyment value, not utility.
How useful is this? I don't know. I still think the best advice is to determine which model (or models) suits your needs and then shop for a good used vehicle.
As for myself, I'm happy with my used Mini. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Still, I know it can't last forever, so I'm diligently setting money aside in my Mini Replacement Fund so that I can buy a new Mini when this one dies. (Except that I did raid my Mini Replacement Fund to pay for next year's trip to Africa. Time will tell whether that was smart or stupid.)

Canadiens lookinng to add Ryan Smyth + Other rumors
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun is reporting on a ton of rumors this week with the main one being that the Montreal Canadiens are "mulling over a possible deal for Ryan Smyth."
It is reported that with the Habs being stuck in a tailspin the Canadiens may not be dome making moves after the trade for Schneider. The latest speculation is that the Habs are studying Ryan Smyth who still has three years remaining on his present deal. HTR feels that Smyth would provide great leadership and a sense of stability for the Canadiens organization. It is noted that Smyth does have a no trade clause that he would have to waive first.
Another rumor is that the Blue Jackets are apparently showing some interest in Alexei Kovalev who has been in the Canadiens dog house of late. It is highly speculated that the Blue Jackets would like to make a move to add more scoring to their line up as they are eagerly trying to make their playoffs for their first time ever.
Furthermore, Garrioch also noted that the Penguins are the latest team to be showing interest in Erik Cole. The Penguins would like to place him on a line with Crosby.
Another rumor is the Sharks and Wings are said to be interested in the Senators Neil who is set to become a free agent at the end of this year.
Read the full article from
14 Responses to Canadiens lookinng to add Ryan Smyth + Other rumors
Ryan Smyth is exactly the type of player Montreal needs, however that is way too big of a cap hit. It would be better for them to go after someone like Eric Cole.Gainey will be in no hurry to trade Kovalev. He will want and see how he reacts after he was told to stay home for two games, and he had an amazing first game back.
Haha. If Gainey would have only let him play every third game maybe he would have gotten 82 points this year! LOL!
Good to see him back with that type of fire though. Hopefully it wasn't a one game wonder.
He continues to play like that and he either helps the team climb in the standings again and/or increases his trade value.
Hopefully he does continue to play like that. Still I believe he is gone, either as free agent or through a trade.
Montreal is NOT after Smyth. Garrioch is hardly better than Eklund or Brooks when it comes to making rumors up, nobody should be listening to these 3 guys and very little of what they come up with should be put into print.
You know I had someone hinting at the idea that he has some form of depression which would probably explain his a lot of the ups and downs in his carreer. The 3 point games one night and total indifference the next type of play.
Who knows it could all be a load of crap too. I think if he isn't traded by the deadline then he either retires at the end of the season or comes back to the Habs at a discount.
agree with you there pathetics they don't have a clue.
What is with this "bot check" thing on posts? It doesn't even give you any instructions.
"Say Gretzky"?" Seriously WTF is that? Am I supposed to type an answer to that question? What is the question anyway? Is the answer "Say Gretzky?" or without the question mark? Or is it just plain old "Gretzky"? How about "Wayne"?
And why does it read as, "SAY"? Shouldn't it read as, "type"? And "type" where? There's no instruction. And while were on that topic, why are people who HAVE BEEN POSTING HERE FOR YEARS not on some sort of exception list not to get bot checked?
It's just annoying, but since a human can barely understand what is required on those checks, at least you know a spambot won't.
Maybe something like this:
To Colombus: Alex Kovalev, Chris Higgins
To Montreal: Fredrick Modin, David Vyborny, Raffi Torres
To San Jose: Chris Neil, Jarkko Ruutu
To Ottawa: Ryan Clowe, Marcel Goc
And Finally:
To Edmonton: Jordan Staal, Hal Gill
To Pittsburgh: Erik Cole, Denis Grebeshkov, 4th in 2010
san jose: neil
ottawa: goc and a draft choice,forget ryan clowe geezz
and for the habs trade,pfffff i think vyborny is not in the nhl anymore,modin a overrated guy and torres,for our best forward and a good young cheap player,i think im gonna puke
nooooooooo, neil for clowe straight up please.
On what planet would Montreal want those three guys??? Even if they got them for nothing, how does Modin, Vyborny and Torres make Montreal a better team? Vyborny isn't even playing in the nhl.
And to suggest they give up Kovalev and Higgins??? That sounds like something Rejean Houle would pull…..
You must be feeling better now that you have had that rant …
The bot thing adds protection to the sever so that it does not get attacked by bots. HTR has been attacked several times a year for years now … this means that bots place thousands up to 10,000 – 20,000 of gross porn related ads and vigara, cialis …. to the site. two minutes of your time or less prevents this. It takes me days on end to clean up the garbage.
If you want me to change it to something else … make a suggestion.
The user database keeps a log of the total number of posts a user has made, right?
You need a script that adds users with X many posts to a list whereby those users are not subjected to that kind of bot test.
The bot test will check the logged users name against the list prior to asking for a typed confirmation. If the users name is on the list, it forgos the the check and just lets him/her post as normal. In that way this still prevents bots from posting, and allows those people who have been members for a long time post w/o being molested by a pop quiz.
I dunno what value X should be, 50 posts maybe.
Or is there some manner a bot could work around this script and continue to spam?

My name is Ruby Rose. I lost my Johnny, the love of my life, at the start of the second great world war. Now I'm destitute, alone, and living in California far from the family that disinherited me when I eloped with Johnny.
By chance I meet a man who alters the course of my life and saves me from becoming homeless. I'm no longer just one of the many widows left behind in WWII America. I'm a well-paid courtesan who takes on special cases and Henry, the wealthy enigmatic man who brings me untold pleasure, is more than my financial salvation—he could be my greatest love.
But Henry has secrets. What he's hiding could ruin me—or it could completely change my life.
Henry pointed behind me. "Lie down on the chaise."
I reclined on the lavish velvet and attempted to look seductive in my pose.
He stubbed out his cigarette and came around the desk. "Spread your legs. I want to see what I'm getting."
I didn't care for his words or his tone, but I opened my legs anyway, keeping my gaze steady and unaffected on his. One hundred dollars was a chant in my head. I needed the money. Desperately.
"Wider," he demanded.
I complied, resting my arms across the back of the chaise, opening myself to him as much as possible. Spread eagle and nude, I waited for what he'd do next.
He knelt next to me and leaned forward. Inhaling deeply, he sniffed me from my mouth and neck to my toes, taking longer in some places than others. My sex was of particular interest to him. He spent several minutes smelling me there. He paused to visually examine my folds, then he resumed his scenting of me, finally moving on after several minutes.
When he finished, he sat back on his heels and met my gaze. "You have excellent hygiene."
"Thank you?"
"Have you even been with a woman? Sexually."
"Would it repulse you?"
"I don't know." I'd heard of men's proclivities for watching women have sexual relations. Is that what he wanted of me? Did he want to participate or just observe? I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Not repulsed as he'd suggested, but not particularly interested either. Curious. I supposed that was the best way to describe my feeling about the suggestion. "I am rather curious though. The mechanics in particular perplex me."
He gave me a smile, the first one I'd gotten from him. "You're honest. I appreciate that. We'll get along well as long as you're honest with me at all times."

text: Everyone, I'm new to the forum and since my primary software that driving my need for portable computing was recently ported over to Android, I'm looking at getting a tablet in the near future. The app in question is a moving map GPS system for use in private airplanes (www.anywheremap.com); so, I'm looking for - 1. Internal GPS that doesn't need cell signals to get a position 2. Fairly good in sunlight - if it works in a car on a sunny day chances are it'll work in my plane 3. Screen size no larger than 7 inches in order to fit on the yoke 4. Builtin in Bluetooth 5. Car charger so I can keep it plugged in during flight (battery for emergency use only) Things I don't necessarily care about - 1. Media players (not using this for entertainment, only navigation) 2. Battery life (going to be plugged in the majority of the time) 3. 3G - most of the airports today for WiFi Thanks in advance! Mike

Day after murder-suicide rocks KC, Chiefs beat Panthers 27-21 to end 8-game losing streak
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Against the backdrop of an unthinkable tragedy, the Kansas City Chiefs gave themselves a reason to be proud Sunday — and perhaps the impetus to let the healing begin.
Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and Jamaal Charles ran for 127 yards in the Chiefs' 27-21 victory over their Carolina Panthers. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak during one of the most difficult seasons the franchise has ever experienced.
The win came just one day after Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend multiple times at a residence near Arrowhead Stadium, then drove to the team's practice facility and turned the gun on himself as general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel looked on.
Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he was doing "OK," though he didn't stop to talk. Crennel was on the sideline coaching his team to an uplifting victory.

Evacuation at FAA air traffic control center causes delays, cancellations at DC area airports
WASHINGTON - Air traffic at Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall Airport, Dulles International Airport and Reagan National Airport were impacted Monday evening due to an evacuation at a Federal Aviation Administration facility in Virginia.
Airport officials said the FAA air traffic control center in Leesburg experienced an issue from construction work at the facility.
"Local fire officials directed the FAA to evacuate the Washington Center in Leesburg, VA at about 6:40 pm after fumes from construction work permeated the control room," the FAA said in a statement. "The center handles high altitude flights over the area. The facility stopped accepting new flights and handed off airborne flights to other air traffic control facilities for safe handling. We are actively working to fully ventilate the facility. We will update the statement when we get new information."
Several hours later, the FAA said air traffic controllers returned to the Washington Center and resumed operations at around 9:30 p.m.
"Flights that were delayed are beginning to take off, and we expect to resume normal operations in the morning," the FAA said.
The evacuation caused a ground stop and a temporary air traffic management program to take place at BWI Airport.

No, we are not talking about the beer. Investors who read a lot would have come across the quite audacious yet thought provoking book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. You can summarise the book with the line: The Impact of The Highly Improbable.
The Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman proposed the inclusion of Taleb's name among the world's top intellectuals, citing "Taleb has changed the way many people think about uncertainty, particularly in the financial markets. His book, The Black Swan, is an original and audacious analysis of the ways in which humans try to make sense of unexpected events."
Before the discovery of Australia, poeple in the Old world were convinced that all swans were white, an unassailable belief as it seem completely confirmed by empirical evidence. The sighting of the first black swan might have been an interesting surprise for a few ornithologists (and others extremely concerned with the coloring of birds), but that is not where the significance of the story lies. It illustrates a severe limitation to our learning from observations or experience and the fragility of our knowledge. One single observation can invalidate a general statement derived from millennia of confirmatory sightings of millions of white swans. All you need is one single black bird.
Consider these factors: rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (though not prospective) predictability. A small number of Black Swans explain almost everything in our world, from the success of ideas and religions, to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives. We amble through life, in our careers, personal life, investing, etc... and these are punctuated by "black swans" - the humdrum would not kill you or make you rich and wealthy, its the black swans that turns everything around, be it in relationships or investing.
The central idea of this book concerns our blindness with respect to randomness, particularly the large deviations. In other words, we do not see the big picture but base our decision making process on what has happened in the past.
For those of you who attended my talk, I have spoken on how most of us make decisions: anchor & adjust. That in effect is one way to make sure we will never see or predict black swans in our analysis. When you anchor & adjust, you fixate on what happened recently and make your guesstimates from that point of reference. When Malaysia's GDP growth last year, say was 3%, to predict GDP growth the following year, we would anchor at 3% and make adjustments according to how we view FDI, unemployment, currency, interest rate differentials, blah-blah... Hence 99% of the predictions would be plus or minus 100-200 basis points from 3%. A black swan effect would be tantamount to something like two major banks collapsing in Malaysia overnight, and the resulting GDP growth was a contraction of 8% - now, that's a black swan effect - most did not see it coming because they never figured in our calculations.
Its not just in investing, you can be dating a girl for 5 years and planned to marry next year, and wham, she turned into a lesbian - turning your world upside down, what a black swan.
It is easy to see that life is the cumulative effect of a handful of significant shocks. It is not so hard to identify the role of Black Swans. Consider the significant events, the technological changes, and the inventions that have taken place in our environment since you were born and compare them to what was expected before their advent. Look into your own personal life, to your choice of profession, say, or meeting your mate, your sudden enrichment or impoverishment. How often did these things occur according to plan?
Taleb appeared to be vindicated against statisticians in 2008, as he reportedly made a multi-million dollar fortune during the financial crisis of 2007–2008, a crisis which he attributed to the failure of statistical methods in finance. Universa, where Taleb is adviser, made returns of 65% to 115% in October 2008 in its approximately $2 billion "Black Swan Protection Protocol."
While most human thought has focused us on how to turn knowledge into decisions, ... if you follow Taleb's reasoning, we should be more interested in how to turn lack of information, lack of understanding, and lack of "knowledge" into decisions. That is because the world is always a place where information and understanding are lacking in most areas. Knowing that we will never be able to grasp all critical issues is important. The question of "what if" carries with it graver consequences when we know how to ask "what if" properly.
The LTCM collapse, with two finance gurus in the company (Nobel prize winners no less), was very Black Swannish. Using standard deviations and pricing models, they try to extract price differentials when certain factors move in a certain way. They looked at correlation between various asset classes and instruments. Well, the best minds could not explain when things that are supposed to correlate, starts diverging in a big way.
Our system of rewards is not adapted to black swans. We can set up rewards for activity that reduces the risk of certain measurable events, like cancer rates. But it is more difficult to reward the prevention (or even reduction) of a chain of bad events (war, for instance, the recent subprime crisis is a major example).
When our system of risk-reward is not geared towards detecting, spotting or preventing black swans - that put everything at risk. We can get into a very theoretical debate on black swans, but for us who are in investments, how does Black Swans apply to our senses?
The impact of black swans has been enhanced many times over due to the globalisation of markets, as well as financial firms getting a lot bigger and international (and fewer of them as a result). You can be owning very safe stocks with splendid dividend yields in Timbuktu, but due to over speculation in certain asset classes in Eastern Europe, or a maniacal over leverage by some Icelandic banks, you could have a cascading effect which hits at banks, markets, confidence ... leading to a de-rating of emerging markets, smaller currencies ... i.e. risk aversion, nobody wanting to own stocks. Hence your so called blue chips could be halved in value, to no one's fault.
The Black Swan thing should alert us to reflect that we really CANNOT adopt a buy and hold forever type of investing mentality. The markets are so different now, many things are the same, but there are critical nuanced differences now. Black Swans in investing will usually be found in over-leveraged situations, bubble type situations in certain asset classes, sovereign debt defaults, the collapse of a major financial firm, ... You may be just investing in stocks, but now you have to read and follow closer on what's happening or bubbling in other areas as well. Their bubbles will affect you in the end.
There are things we cannot control, that is external to us. We need to stay tuned to potential black swans, even though we may be laughed at initially. Take any industry or markets, think of a few really "upsetting things" can whack them out of the water - these are your potential black swans, then you start ticking things off in your research and analysis to see of any of these potential black swans are about to morph into something sinister.
Do not take things at face value, learn to ask better "what if" questions even when they appear to be silly sounding. Beware of leverage, beware of things like "value at risk" because nobody really knows VAR in reality.

Hello, Can I achive circular polarization the following way? >From each dipole a length off aircell-7 to a dual power splitter with one length being a quarter wave length longer than the other? Dipool 50ohm ------------ | | splitter --------------- transceiver 50ohm Dipool 50ohm --------------- | | I made one lenght longer following this calculation: lambda/4 * V that gave a lenght of 0.690/4 x 0.83 = 0.143m for Aircell-7 coax cable. Now switching the coax between the dipoles I will get LHCP or RHCP. Is there anything wrong in this approach? My reason for asking, is the fact that now in fixed RHCP position, AO-51 is very weak, weaker then before when I used a vertical placed yagi.

The Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) program at Mercyhurst University, designed to educate teachers and other professionals in creating the best possible learning environment for students with special needs, has been rated among the best in the country.
An offering of the Special Education and Applied Disability Studies graduate program chaired by Dr. Phillip Belfiore, Mercyhurst's ABA certificate program is directed by Tom Kitchen and was identified as one of the top 32 programs nationwide by AppliedBehaviorAnalysisEDU, a professional organization that evaluated curricula at more than 200 colleges and universities to determine its top picks.
There are a number of paths educators can take when making the decision to add ABA to their list of skills, and most involve meeting the qualifications for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credential through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
According to AppliedBehaviorAnalysisEDU: "Mercyhurst University knows a thing or two about how to structure a program to fit the scheduling needs of working teachers. Courses in the MEd in Special Education and Applied Disabilities Studies, ABA, are primarily held in the evenings, freeing up students to continue working. The program includes all the courses you need to qualify for the BCBA exam. Plus, since courses are offered year-round students have better access to the courses they want to take, allowing them to more easily custom tailor the program."
Enthused by the recognition, Belfiore said, "One strength of our graduate Special Education-ABA program is our applied-clinical experiences, allowing our graduate students the opportunities for graduate assistantships and clinical hours through our service contracts, among them the Erie School District Autism Program, R.B. Wiley Community Charter School-Supplemental Mathematics and Reading Tutoring program (SMART)], and our OASIS program on the North East Campus."
Of the 32 chosen schools, six are in Pennsylvania. Besides Mercyhurst, recognition also went to the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State University, Temple University, Cairn University and California University of Pennsylvania.
ABOUT AppliedBehaviorAnalysisEDU: We are an independent online publishing group that saw an opportunity to provide future and practicing ABAs with the first and only dedicated resource on state licensing, education options, earning potential, practice domains and more. Since we have no affiliation with professional associations, lobbying groups, or government bodies, our only interest was to create a comprehensive resource that provides the kind of unbiased information aspiring and practicing ABAs have been looking for.

Will The Late Show Stay in New York?
On July 23, 2014, CBS announced that when Stephen Colbert takes over David Letterman's longtime seat as host of The Late Show, the show will continue to be filmed at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio used social media to express his support of Colbert's remaining in New York, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an official statement calling for Colbert staying in New York. Citing the reason that Colbert himself is New York based, Cuomo urged CBS President and CEO Les Moonves to continue the tradition of producing the show in the Ed Sullivan Theater. After all, The Late Show has long been a major source of revenue for the city and the state, as tourists flock to midtown and purchase tickets to sit in the audience of the show. However, several other locations made pleas for the show to move. Among these are New Orleans, Connecticut, and Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Makes a Plea
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti publically plead for the show to move to Los Angeles, and California Assemblyman Mike Gatto even announced that he, along with Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra, would consider revising legislation to expand the tax incentives, specifically to lure The Tonight Show among other TV shows that would benefit from such a revision. In particular, the new law would offer the benefits to non-scripted shows that are offered to scripted shows, which gives a 25% incentive when the show relocates to California from other states. Other talk shows that are produced in Los Angeles include those led by hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, and Conan O'Brien. Still, a revised law might very well persuade more to follow suit. In February, Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show is taking a brief trip February 2-5, 2015 following their trip to Phoenix for the Super Bowl telecast. This marks The Tonight Show's first stint out west since it moved back to New York City's Rockefeller Center earlier this year.
The Late Show
The Late Show first aired in 1993 with David Letterman and its presenter and host. Letterman's extensive career also included his role as the host of Late Night with David Letterman on NBC from 1982 to 1993. CBS' The Late Show airs generally from 11:35pm to 12:37am, both Eastern and Pacific time. When it was announced in July that Colbert would take over Letterman's seat, this marks the first time another host has led this show, and it will keep its same name rather than hanging to suit the new personality. Stephen Colbert, for his part, has long had a show on Comedy Central called The Colbert Report in which he plays a character. It has been announced that Colbert will leave his persona behind when he takes over Letterman's job, instead playing it much more straight. It was also declared that the show would remain in New York City's Ed Sullivan Theater. Despite Los Angeles' attempts to revise its legislation in order to woo the show to the West Coast, New York stepped up to the challenge. First of all, CBS paid over $40,000 in campaign contributions to Andrew Cuomo in order for him to keep tax breaks in New York City. And it appears to have paid off, as a deal was made official on July 23, 2014 – including $16,000,000 in tax incentives over a period of five years. It therefore appears The Late Show will remain in New York City for the foreseeable future.

Nitrogen in Mining
Talk to us about our self contained custom built transportable units comprising PSA and/or membrane solutions for your mining and off site requirements
Nitrogen in Coal Mining Applications
The Challenge
Mines fires, especially in coal mines have created many challenges for human safety form centuries due to the spontaneous heating of coal. Fires in coal mines cause huge loses to natural resources, threaten human safety and emit toxic gases into the atmosphere.
The Solution
NITROGEN – being inert and lighter than air, nitrogen can fill up entire sections of the affected mine to eliminate and prevent fires. Having large volume nitrogen generators attached to your fire prevention systems and readily available in the vicinity of high temperature coal production is the proven deterrent that is needed in this environment. Nitrogen has been used in mining operations since the early 19th century. The technological development of "Nitrogen on Demand" from onsite nitrogen generators supplied by Nitroheat is the solution.
Need more info?....Send Us a Message
Fracking with High Pressure High Purity NITROGEN
The MaxFrack-N2-100 is a high-powered self-contained unit that can be operated remotely and produces 170,000 liters per hour of 99% pure nitrogen at pressures up to 5000psi. The transportable unit is supplied on a shipping container platform and includes all equipment necessary to generate the high quality nitrogen on demand. NITROHEAT's patent pending technology will address both environmental and logistical challenges of drilling operators. This technology will greatly improve productivity, efficiency and production costs of fracturing.
The complete transportable unit includes:
- MaxFrack-N2
- Power Generator
- Rotary Vane Compressor
- Air Dryer
- Compressed Air Heaters
- NITROSpec Filtration unit
- Combo Membrane & PSA Generator
- Receiver Tanks
- High Pressure N2 Booster
- High Pressure Receivers
- PLC controlled Valve bodies
- Multi Stage N2 outputs
Legislation as well as the availability of water has caused numerous challenges for fracking operators. The MaxFrack-N2 from NITROHEAT will allow operators to use Nitrogen as an alternative to water thereby minimizing the environmental impact. In many shale environments, Nitrogen assisted processes have proven to be more effective with lower costs than water treatments.

A new study might have found the cause as to why people have infant memory loss. Most people do not remember much or anything past their third or fourth birthday, but scientists were never really sure why. There were a multitude of theories as to why people lacked infant recollection such as memories being rooted in language. Children usually start forming memories around the time they begin talking. However, the problem with this theory was that even most animals show infantile amnesia. The stage of language development could not explain the reason for childhood memory loss.
Sigmund Freud was one of the very first to write about infantile memory loss. He believed infantile amnesia was due to repression, purposeful forgetting of childhood memories because of their psycho-sexual content. Others believe that the main reason for infantile memory loss is simply because there has to be a sense of being before one can begin to recall memories from earlier in life.
Children usually fail to recall specified events until anywhere between the ages of two and four. Scientists have now come to the conclusion that this could possibly be due to the time when the developing brain starts to connect pieces of information. They found that the baby's brain is developing so quickly that the newer memories essentially begin to erase the older ones.
The study suggested that the new generation of neurons might play a vital role in the cause of infant memory loss, which is not just limited to the human species. As people age, the new neuron production in the brain begins to decrease. During the study,the research group generated and used small electric shocks to help train lab mice to become fearful of a certain environment. The adult mice were fearful of the specified environment still 28 days later.
The young mice were a lot more forgetful than the older ones, as they would lose the recollection of the electric shock only a day after. The researchers then let some of the mice from the adult group use running wheels. According to scientists, running is linked to higher levels of developing brain cells. When they examined the mice once again, they found that the mice that had used the running wheel had forgotten their fear of the environment that they were trained to be afraid of. The other mice however, had not forgotten their fear and recalled the electric shocks when placed in the environment once again.
After, the researchers gave drugs to the infant mice to extend their memory by slowing down the rate of new neuron development, which is typically higher than their adult counterparts. They found that the treated mice were able to recall memories a lot better than the untreated, infant mice. According to the study, in order to understand memory better, new neuron production in the hippocampus part of the brain seems to be the best place to start. However, there could be other possible explanations for infant memory loss, such as an alteration in the connectivity between different areas of the brain.
Most people who currently have or have had young children can attest to the fact that the child's brain is like a sponge, soaking up information and learning more everyday. The reason people can not seem to recall memories from this time in life might be because of all of the important information they were learning and storing as their brain generated new neurons. Although scientists have not yet found a way to bring back memories as an infant, they now know what could very well be the main cause of the loss in the first place.

I'm Tess Danesi and I welcome you to Urban Gypsy. Here, you'll find my musings about the four things I'm most passionate about: life, sex, food and dogs. Life is about finding your happiness and achieving balance. In what is a very transitional time for me – we're contemplating moving to another state, my daughter is in her last year of high school and ready, oh so ready for college, and the road ahead is wide open – I'm often struggling a bit in the harmony department. Since life is all encompassing, it is also about other minutiae that doesn't fit neatly into the other more clear categories.
It's natural that one of my four passions is sex since I'm a sex educator. Between classes, workshops and events, I've brought sex-positive education to over 2,000 people. My writings here will range from current issues in sexuality to pet peeves to how to have banging orgasms to bringing you the best — and the most insane — sex toys.
Food. Ah, food, what a love/hate relationship I have with food. I love nothing more than fresh and healthy food – except for my cursed love of all things sweet. In an effort to lose weight, get healthier, lower my blood pressure and cholesterol, the recipes you see here will work with the best ingredients to help you (and me) eat "clean." Fridays are Treat Yo'Self day here at Urban Gypsy Enterprises. So, you may find recipes of the alcoholic variety or for something gooey and delicious, of which you should have just one. After all, I'm about balance not deprivation.
Last, but not least, dogs. My dog, Cody, brings me tremendous amounts of joy. Dogs are always thrilled to see us, greeting their owners and human and canine friends with great enthusiasm and unconditional love whether you've been gone five minutes, five hours or five days. So, along with photos of the ever so cute Cody, I'll bring you training tips, information about breeds, and photos of the cutest dogs.
Life. Sex. Foods. Dogs. What else do you need?

Crusaders centre Robbie Fruean has been warned that he needs to deliver in the impending Super Rugby play offs.
Fruean has been benched for Saturday's final round Super Rugby match against the Force in Christchurch.
Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder says Fruean needs a break.
"Obviously he's getting a little bit tired, he's started every single game so (I'll) throw him on the bench, just give him a kick in the backside. He needs to freshen up, but also too he really needs to deliver something because his spot's in jeopardy."
Blackadder says Sam Whitelock has also been moved to the bench to freshen up.

Also, individuals with fast paced lives don't want to go away their properties to lose bodyweight, so they desire to learn about ways to lose bodyweight from home. This post will focus on what is actually involved in shedding excess weight in a single 7 days.
As I begin to explore what is the fastest strategy to drop weight in one 7 days, make sure you remember that it can be vital that you look at your over-all health and fitness and seek the advice of with all your doctor before starting off any bodyweight decline plan. Also to notice is usually that there a great deal of diet applications readily available on the net that declare that it is possible to shed fat in one week. Some diet program programs do the job, but some is not going to. Again, make use of your have judgment and do not forget about to refer to your doctor for anyone who is unsure of starting off a new method. Some diet plans will include, Zone, South Beach diet plan, Body weight Watcher and some others. These courses offers you lists of foods you need to be ingesting. Although, the majority of these plans never point out which you needs to be training as well.
You have to be consuming extra baked rooster, not fried hen. You should even be eating a lot more fish and having vegetables extra on a regular basis.

Panaji: Goa government will refund the money sanctioned by the Union Tourism Ministry for various projects which never took off due to various reasons.
Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told reporters here today after attending a meeting of the task force on tourism, that the money would be refunded so that the state could stake claim for more funds for other projects.
The task force meeting reviewed the grants sanctioned by the Congress-led UPA government to the state of Goa.
"We have reviewed earlier grants sanctioned for the tourism sector in Goa. It has been decided that the state government will refund the money back to the union government for all those projects which are not feasible," Parrikar said.
The meeting discussed two projects including a convention centre and Goa Haath (exhibition facility) where money was given by the union tourism ministry but the actual work is yet to begin due to "feasibility issues."
"We will refund Rs 8 crore which was advanced for these projects," the chief minister said, adding that the proposal for both the projects would be re-submitted to the union government.
"Whatever advanced money was received, we will refund it back so that we can get proper funding for new projects," Parrikar said.
The chief minister said that a list of new projects would be submitted by June end to the ministry. "I have issued directions that only those projects which are easy to implement and have suitable land for it should be suggested to the union government," he said.
Parrikar admitted that in several cases, the state government had failed to give utilisation certificate to the ministry because of which the funding had stopped.

More Kenyan competition for Cheruiyot, Kigen and Weidlinger: Mbote, Kiplagat, Kiogora and Kirwa added to the field
Another set of strong Kenyan runners have been added to the elite field of the Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon, which will take place on 25th October. Jason Mbote, Gilbert Kirwa, Stephen Kiogora and William Kiplagat will challenge their fellow Kenyans who have won this race during the past four years: Wilfred Kigen was the winner from 2005 to 2007 while Robert Cheruiyot took Germany's oldest city marathon in 2008, causing a major upset to the favourites. So far Rose Cheruiyot (Kenya), who holds a personal best of 2:25:48, is the fastest women entered in the race.
The Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon, which boosts a new title sponsor, is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race. Entry figures for the 28th edition of the event are up by almost 18 percent. If the high interest continues organisers expect a record field of between 13,000 and 14,000 runners. Online entry is available at: www.frankfurt-marathon.com
Robert K. Cheruiyot's course record of 2:07:21 from last year will be under threat on 25th October. But may be he himself is the one who can improve it. The 21 year-old Kenyan has meanwhile shown that his success in Frankfurt in 2008 was not a coincidence. Cheruiyot placed fifth in April's high-class Boston Marathon.
Wilfred Kigen will be eager to reestablish himself himself as one of Kenya's strongest marathon runners. The Kenyan had been unlucky in his recent marathons, when an Achilles tendon injury forced him to drop out of the New York Marathon in 2008 and a slight calf problem caused a below par perfomance in Düsseldorf. He finished second in May with 2:11:30. But Frankfurt is second home for Wilfred Kigen, who intends to win this race a record fourth time. The 34 year-old has a personal best of 2:07:33 from Hamburg in 2007. In the same year he ran a course record of 2:07:58 in Frankfurt.
"The duel between Kigen and Cheryuiot will be an absolute highlight of the Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon," said Christoph Kopp, who is in charge for the elite field of the event. But he also adds: "But we have now added some runners who have the potential to upset the two recent winners."
One who has run a fine race in spring is Gilbert Kirwa. The 23 year-old took the Vienna City Marathon, clocking a personal best in his debut. Despite warm conditions during the final part of the race he reached the finish in 2:08:21. Jason Mbote's personal best is faster: The 32 year-old came in second with 2:07:37 at last year's Seoul Marathon. He has run in Frankfurt before, when he finished second in 2005. In a very close finish he was just one second behind Wilfred Kigen. With Stephen Kiogora and William Kiplagat there will be two runners in the field with plenty of experience. 32 year-old Kiogora was third in Frankfurt last year with a personal best of 2:08:24. In 2006 he had been second in New York. William Kiplagat so far will be the fastest in the field with a personal best of 2:06:50. Although this mark is already ten years old the 37 year-old had shown some good races in the past few years. Among them was an eighth place in the World Championships in 2007. Kiplagat was eager to run in Frankfurt again (in 2008 he was 10th), because he is the coach of the defending champion Robert Cheruiyot as well. Kiplagat will be able to watch his athlete from a unique coaching position – but only as long as he can keep up!
This year's men's race will also see one of the most promising European athletes in the marathon: Günther Weidlinger. The Austrian will chase the 23 year-old Austrian record which stands at 2:12:22. Gerhard Hartmann, who establiehd this mark back in 1986, will be a guest of honour in Frankfurt in October. Günther Weidlinger, the former world-class steeplechaser, ran his marathon debut at the Vienna City Marathon in April. He then clocked 2:12:39 but missed his record goal.
So far Kenya's Rose Cheruiyot is the fastest women in the field of the Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon. In 2008 the 33 year-old had placed fourth in the Dubai Marathon with a personal best of 2:25:48. Later in the year she placed fourth again in Berlin. Ruth Wanjiru will be one of her challengers on 25th October. The 27 year-old was 7th in Osaka this year and has a personal best of 2:27:38. Especially the women's field will see a couple of additions in the coming weeks.

ABS-CBN News Posted at Nov 10 2009 04:10 PM | Updated as of Nov 11 2009 12:10 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA - Actress Niña Jose shot down speculations that she had a "boob job." In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Jose said she has nothing against people who undergo cosmetic surgery, but insisted she had never tried it. "It's just, it's not me. I'm not that type. I'm scared (of cosmetic surgery)," she said. Jose is the 2010 calendar girl for a popular brand of liquor that produces sexy posters of women in skimpy clothing or bikinis. She had previously posed in equally skimpy attire for the covers of men's magazines like FHM (March 2008) and Maxim (February 2009). Jose took the "boob job" rumors as a compliment, saying she is glad that people think her breasts and nose are too good to be true. "Well, I'm happy they think I look good. They think may pinagawa ako. So okay lang. My face is real. My boobs are real, everything is real," she said. Jose has a regular stint on the gag show "Banana Split" and is currently part of the ABS-CBN afternoon show "Nagsimula sa Puso" with Maja Salvador and Coco Martin. She is also taping for the movie "Mano Po 6" under Regal Films, which is an official entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival. 'More challenging roles' Aside from her established role as a sexy actress, Jose said that she also wants to take on more challenging roles in dramas. "I just don't [want] to limit myself to sexy roles. My dream role? I want to play someone who [has] Down's syndrome. Super challenging 'yon and gusto kong malagay ang sarili ko sa place nila, kung ano ang nararamdaman nila," she said. Jose also wants to explore acting roles portraying the downtrodden and the abused, instead of her usual stint as a villain or "the other woman." "Bigyan din (sana) ako ng kawawa roles kasi ang role ko puro nang-aagaw, o the other woman. Pero thankful ako. Basta may trabaho ako," she said. Jose, who has worked with stars like Gerald Anderson, said that she also dreams of becoming the leading lady of many ABS-CBN actors like John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual and Coco Martin.

The Little Man (not so little anymore, but always to be my Little Man) has recently developed quite an interest in survival skills.
He's been shaping a bow shaft and making arrowheads from bits of wood. Whittling knife blades and learning about flint napping. Reading about what you can eat and what you can't eat in the bush. And learning how to make rope from tree bark and vines.
While driving to Armidale last week, I questioned him about this new interest.
(Seriously, mums of soon-to-be teenage boys – the best place to have conversations with them is in the car. They are your captive audience! Put on a few of their tunes and start a conversation. You might be surprised at what you learn…)
His response was not what I thought it was going to be…
"Donald Trump is going to fuck things up, Mum. And we need to be prepared because it's not only going to affect America. It's going to affect us too."
I took a few minutes to formulate my response, because, to be honest, his answer kind of floored me.
Little Man followed the recent U.S. election with great interest and was as shocked as the rest of the world at the results. He now listens carefully to news reports and reads world news from a variety of sources, obviously coming to his own conclusions from what he reads.
An honest and open conversation about imports, exports, trade agreements and sustainable living – interspersed with our shared love of black humour – lasted the next 30 minutes to Armidale. It was a conversation that made me grateful I have a son who takes an interest in the world at large. Grateful even more that I have the relationship I do with him. And it made me realise that having conversations like this with your children are important…
…because you never quite now what another person is thinking until you ask
As to his choice of language, we're a family that allows swearing, which you can read more about here.
In the comments, I'd love to hear:
Do you have regular, deep-and-meaningful conversations with your kids?
And what has been their reaction to the new president of the United States?

Clears heat and eliminates dampness, alleviates impediment and disinhibits the joints.
Wind, damp, heat impediment conditions. Such conditions are often seen in those with systemic
lupus erythmatosus, gouty and psoriatic arthritis and may be seen in those with rheumatoid arthritis,
fibromylagia, deep vein thrombosis, and polymyositis/dermatositis.
Wind, damp, cold impediment conditions
Formula Rationale
Huang Bai (Cortex Phellodendri) and Da Huang (Radix Et Rhizoma Rhei) both clear heat and eliminate
dampness. Cang Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis) and Du Huo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis) dispel
wind, eliminate dampness, and disinhibit the joints. Both Ren Dong Teng (Caulis Lonicerae) and Luo
Shi Teng (Caulis Trachelospermi) dispel wind, clear heat, and eliminate dampness. Dang Gui (Radix
Angelicae Sinensis) and Niu Xi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae) quicken the blood and dispel stasis.
Since the blood and fluids move together, dampness causes blood stasis. In addition, quickening the
blood helps to dispel dampness. Bai Zhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae) dispels wind and dries dampness.
However, it is also a very strong and effective pain-stopper. Although its nature is warm, it is
often used for hot conditions associated with dampness and pain. Zhang Nao (Camphora) and Bing
Pian (Borneolum) aromatically penetrate and free the flow of blockage and obstruction, especially
when associated with dampness and turbidity. They disperse swelling, clear heat by resolving depression, and stop pain.

Ah I can never go too long without changing my hair. My most recently change is dying my super natural ombre black hair to ash brown! This is my first time trying a blonde dye on my black hair in the hopes of achieving a natural brown colour, but according to many Google searches, heaps of Asian girls do it.
I went to Priceline and bought the famous Loreal Superior Preference dye in 9.1 Viking (light ash blonde) and the Schwarzkopf Nordic Blonde toner.
Ignore the 'this shade is not advised' warning hehe. I applied the dye according to the instructions and left it on for 35 minutes. Ya'll don't need to see what's inside the box! And I'm far from a hair expert- I literally just slapped it on and hoped for the best.
After washing the dye out of my hair with warm water, I applied the Nordic Blonde toner to cancel out any red or yellow tones in my locks. I left it on for just 5 minutes as per the instructions.
My hair was a technicolor mix of orange, red and warm brown tones from using a temporary dye.
All red and orange tones are gone and my hair definitely has that green-ish ash tone to it! These photos were taken at night under florescent light which makes the colour appear a lot brighter than it actually is.
In daylight, my hair is a lovely dark brown to ash ombre because I had ombre hair before dying. The roots of my hair were mostly virgin and the dye definitely lifted the colour a few shades, but the undertone is not as ashy as the bottom of my hair. The previously lightened parts of my hair took the dye very well and I am so happy with the colour!
See how the roots are warmer?
A further plus is that my hair did not feel damaged at all after dying. I attribute this to good hair care- thanks LUSH's American Cream conditioner! I only purchased one extra product to maintain my ash colour and that is a purple shampoo. I bought the cheapest one and it sucks, it makes my hair feel like plastic so I will probably end up buying another one. I tone my hair with the Nordic blonde every 2 weeks to keep it fresh!
Previously, I have paid up to $200 in salons for colour. Those days are gone, I am happier with my DIY job than I have ever been with a salon- the guilt that comes with paying that much money for someone to do my hair just kills my joy. Every time.
All the hair products in this post cost me under $35 and you can find them in Priceline.
Do you like my new hair? Should I go lighter?!
