Thank you for visiting my website.
I am a writer, improviser, organizer, and trombonist currently based in Easthampton, Massachusetts, USA. To read more about me, feel free to check out this page: About Alex.
This site started in 2009 as my personal blog, Lubricity. Since then, I have written mostly about jazz and related creative improvised music here, and also posted links to the many pieces that I have written elsewhere on the internet. Even though updates are much less frequent these days, Lubricity lives on—click the Lubricity tab to read all posts, or filter them by category on the left sidebar. And for nostalgia's sake, I've kept the throwback feel of the old blog with this version of the site.
Here's what I wrote about Lubricity when I started the blog:
Lubricity is the quality of shiftiness or slipperiness, the ability to resist definition, and the capacity for reducing tension. To me, it's a perfect descriptor for jazz as it lives in our world today.
It's also a tribute to the bebop musicians like Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk who had a fascination with obscure multisyllabic words like "Epistrophy" and "Ornithology". Finally, it's a tip of the hat to my instrument, the trombone, which requires a lubricious slide in order to be played effectively.
Join me in discussing the definition-resistant musical tradition we call jazz through my perspective as a young trombonist and aspiring jazz historian.
Every once in awhile, I post a question and ask readers to respond in the comments. Visit the Jazz Questions page to add your answers.
In order to help myself better understand the global scope of jazz today, I have begun to work with a mapping program called Story Maps to represent it digitally. Check out the Jazz Maps page to see what I've come up with so far.
If you'd like to be in touch with me, I can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com — if you would like to send CDs for review or other promotional materials, please e-mail me for a physical address.

Daniel Breton resigns as Environment Minister
MONTREAL--Daniel Breton has resigned as a Parti Quebecois cabinet minister following a scandal involving evictions and criminal convictions for driving. He will remain the sitting MNA for the Montreal riding of Sainte-Marie-Saint Jacques.
For weeks the opposition parties in the National Assembly have been demanding Breton step down after allegations he had abused his role as Environment Minister in order to bully staff members of the arms-length provincial environmental review board (BAPE).
But the decisive action appears to have been reports on Wednesday concerning Breton's personal history of evictions and criminal convictions.
According to newspaper reports Breton has a string of criminal convictions dating to 1988 for defrauding the unemployment insurance system, and as recently as 2007 was fined $400 by Revenue Quebec. La Presse also reported that Breton was convicted in 1997 for driving without a license.
Meanwhile TVA reported that Breton was evicted from his apartments in 2005 and 2009 for non-payment of rent. Photographs from his landlord show hundreds of empty bottles of wine left in the apartment Breton was forced to leave.
That lead to Thursday's brief announcement by Breton, where he read a statement announcing he was resigning as cabinet minister.
"I will remain an MNA for Saint-Marie-Saint-Jacques," said Breton.
The MNA said he spent Wednesday evening helping out at a food bank and homeless shelter, and will continue to spend more time volunteering at charitable institutions.
"I know what it is to lose your job, to lose your apartment, to depend on charity," said Breton, before leaving the room and refusing to answer questions.
Premier Pauline Marois said Thursday that contrary to reports from Wednesday evening,she did not know about Breton's past when he was named a minister.
On Wednesday Parti Quebecois press secretary Shirley Bishop said she believed the premier knew about Breton's convictions for not paying his rent, but Marois said that was not the case.
"At that point we hadn't discussed it, and [Bishop] thought I knew," said Marois.
The premier said that Breton had met with officials before being named a minister, told staff that he had several unpaid fines, and they ordered him to pay them, but Marois said that information did not reach her until late Wednesday.
"You can't be a minister if you have unpaid fines," said Marois.
She then said that finding anyone in government with a spotless past would be impossible.
"Ask anyone in the National Assemby, who hasn't had a driving infraction, who hasn't forgotten an incident. You have to act in good faith."
For weeks the opposition parties have been hounding the environment minister over alleged bullying.
Because the Parti Quebecois only holds a minority hold over the National Assembly, the Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Quebec were able to create a special committee to investigate Breton's actions.
There were several reports that Breton met four dozen BAPE employees behind closed doors, demanded their personal cell phone numbers, and warned he would call them if he disagreed with their decisions.
That committee was due to examine Breton's actions in January.

A Kiss From The Sky Lyrics
Beyond the back row off the beat and path. Step into a field of dying blades of grass. So thick I have to use my hands. And slowly sinking in quicksand, I pull away 'till I can see again. Staring down with a kiss from the sky. Unsure what feeds the flame. I know a secret way. Unclear the reason why. I'll go in hopes to find. Between the field now and the river bed. Inching closer to the waters edge. 3 rocks separate the flow. Each stride I chip away the stone. Every breath I pray a miracle. Raining down like a kiss from the sky. Setting foot on solid ground again, at the hillside's steepest climb. Nearing the top I seem among the clouds. Staring down like a kiss from the sky.

Post subject: Please Advise! 2 weeks study for Gamsat possible?
Basically I'm asking for advice whether or not to waste my time from now until the 24th of March test date.
Ive done NO study for the Gamsat, have been so busy with rubbish in my personal life. My undergrad is in Psychology, a 1:1.
I have virtually no physics or chemistry.
My interests are in Neurology.
If you had 15 days to study for the Gamsat from scratch what would you do?

Having paid for it, you may as well try to do as well as you can.
Get the practice tests from ACER and go through them; try to do each section at least once under exam conditions.
Get onto the chemistry study - it's worth 40% of Section III. The biology seems to be often (though not always) something that just requires the skills to read a graph or figure and reason logically.
Physics is worth 20% of Section III, but it's worth having a look at the basic concepts used in the practice tests.
Disclaimer: I have sat the GAMSAT in the past, but it was a decade ago - coming back for third time lucky this year. So my suggestions come only from my own preparation, and not from any recent experience of the GAMSAT itself.

Hey Rose Pearl thanks so much for the reply!

It's always worthwhile to give it your best shot.
I thought I'd conquered the urge to do medicine with a science degree, but it seems that's not the case. Now I'm contemplating doing it in my thirties with two children - probably a little crazy, but we'll see how it goes. I've done some preparation, but not enough to stop me feeling panicky now that there's only two weeks to go.

Hey, congrats Rose on getting the courage to do that. I'm in a similar boat. I'm aiming for the September UK GAMSAT in Melbourne later this year. I've done plenty of science, but its been a long time since 1st year bio, chem, phys.
Good luck and all the best for everyone.
Madhatter, as Rose said, I would absolutely give it a shot. If nothing else, you'll have gotten some practice for sitting the next one.

Don't worry, I have only been revising on and off for the last couple of weeks as I am on full time placement and didn't register until the last possible day. Just go over A-level chemistry - especially organic chemistry and naming compounds. I have left biology (as my degree was in human biology) and physics has taken a back seat! I've written a few essays to get into the swing of things. When I've asked other doctors who have done the GAMSAT they just said do the past papers. Don't panic, just stay positive

"Fireworks" Keep Interrupting This Daddy-Daughter Duet–And Daddy Plays Along Beautifully!
I don't know what it is, but there's something so touching, special, and sweet about seeing a daddy with his daughter. Whether it's a father-daughter dance at a wedding or a dad playing with his little girl in the park, it's just something that makes you smile! I don't know. Maybe I'm just a sucker for that kind of thing!
Are you that way, too?
Whether or not you feel the same way about the subject as I do, I can promise you one thing: this daddy and daughter duo will positively melt your heart!
After a show of fireworks, this dad's four-year-old daughter kept thinking she heard more of them outside. So he tried to keep her preoccupied by singing this song with her, "Tonight You Belong with Me."
She keeps interrupting, though…but believe me, it's positively adorable. (As Daddy says, "In the end, nothing competes with fireworks.")

Like the name of the label suggests, ColdCut were ahead of their time. In Summer of 1987 when I moved back to England to start grade-11 highschool at ACS Hillingdon, on the very day my plane touched down at Heathrow airport, the first thing I did was go down to Our Price record store in Uxbridge, Buckinghamshire, and looked for hiphop records. Going through all the singles in the 12-inch section, I came across ColdCut's Beats + Pieces …. there was something magical about this record when I touched it, even though I had no clue who ColdCut were and what they sounded like. I took the risk to invest and bought the record among others. Once I played the Beats + Pieces at home, I was BLOWN AWAY. Just what I was looking for. Something cutting-edge with samples and loops pieced and scratched together on top of a tight main beat/loop sampled from Led_Zeppelin's track Kashmir. Ever since that day, I've been a religious follower and fan of ColdCut.

Coldcut vs. Eric B. Rakim — Not Paid Enough…
In 1987, Eric B. & Rakim were on a standstill and not going anywhere in the charts until ColdCut remixed their track Paid In Full which was absolutely incredible, filled with chopped samples that were pieced/scratched together ColdCut style. The most famous vocal used in that remix was from Ofra Haza's Yemenite Im Nin Alu track (the original LP version from her Fifty Gates Of Wisdom album, released in 1984), which then catapulted Ofra Haza back to the top-10 music charts followed by her smash-hit remix of Im Nin Alu in Summer 1988.
All in all, it was the doing and the genius of ColdCut to come up with such beautiful and timeless remix of Paid In Full …. bringing Eric B. Rakim to the top of the music charts and also making Ofra Haza one of the most internationally famous/successful singers in the world (she even did most of the vocal soundtracks for Steven Spielberg's The Prince Of Egypt animated movie). At the end of the day, ColdCut never received as much credit as they deserved. In 1989, ColdCut released an album with an instrumental version Not Paid Enough.
I tip my hat for ColdCut.
They deserve a standing ovation.

They are very good at preventing cross contamination and have gluten-free bread. They also have gluten free cookies that are really good!
I've eaten there 2 or 3 times since they started carrying gluten free sub rolls. The gf bread is really good. When you order gluten free, they clean the counter and slicer, wash hands and changes gloves, set up a clean treat with pallet over it to make your sandwich on, use a clean knife and squirt bottle topping just for gf orders.
Changed gloves, used separate toppings, and made sandwich in separate gf area.
Great service and sandwiches, they took great care for me when I ordered gluten-free, I feel like I should put three five-star ratings in to negate the one star that someone down below decided to give because God forbid someone ran out of the specialty bread that they are trying to keep in stock for us at such a high cost to throw away if it goes bad.
Gluten free bread and the staff is very careful about cross contamination.
They have a great staff here and are very knowledgeable. They keep the spaces clean and separate. I always get a hot sub and there is never any issue. The sandwich bread is always soft and awesome as well.
I eat here often. They take care of gluten sensative customers very well.
The staff takes extra special care for gf
Previously would have given 5 stars but on last visit got glutened. Had to explain multiple times and correct behaviors by workers should have canceled order and left but I didn't and got sick. Called manager and they apologized and said training would be done but can't be confident eating there again
Very knowledgable. They used a separate knife and made sure no cross contamination. Manager made everyone change gloves before handling my sub. I was impressed. :)
Jersey Mikes was a great find for my teenage daughter. They always clean down the meat slicer and wipe counters when I tell them she has celiac. They also get knives from the back & change gloves.
Knowledgeable about celiac. Tastes good too for a gf sub
Not celiac but severe wheat and gluten allergy. But this Jersey mikes takes gluten free very seriously! They keep all the gf bread separated and wrapped up. They change gloves and clean out the entire counter before even changing gloves and unwrapping the bread! Everyone in the room will know you're gf because they announce it to each staff member to ensure our safety. I've never gotten sick from this location and always feel safe ordering here!
Gluten-free they have a different place to prepare subs
My 5 year old and I ate at Jersey Mike's in terminal A on 2-15-2020 & I'm glad to say it was a success! We had never been there before, I didn't know they had gluten free food, but they changed gloves and got my mayo from a bottle in the back and bacon from a new pan. Also, the portions were pretty big compared to other sub shops we used to eat at.
Highly recommend! They have a separate cutter for GF and grab everything from a separate cooler.
Not Celiac friendly at all. They advertise gluten free Udi's roll but no awareness of cross contamination for the rest of the food. I asked if they had separate toppings for gf subs and the staff said the veggies were sliced about an hour ago so they are as about fresh as can be as he reaches into the container of tomatoes with bread contaminated gloves. I did not end up eating there as I knew I'd be sick for days.
Very well trained staff I asked for gluten free everyone immediately washed hands and changed gloves. My husband and I were impressed.
Staff is great and will prepare your order on a separate work service. I've never gotten sick. The only downside is the bun is Udi, so it's not great :)
I went here for lunch and must say I am so happy I did. The staff made sure the everything was clean, they put it on paper when slicing, changed gloves, used a different knife, and used a totally different area for making the sandwich. It does say that there is some risk for cross contamination but I had no issues.
Love the sandwich bread they have here and really good sandwiches. When you say you want gluten free, they ask if it's an allergy or just a preference. I am not celiac so not entirely sure if it's completely safe but really good.
The food was outstanding! He wiped a the surface, washed his hands, changed gloves, placed paper on surface, used a clean knife in am area away from other breads. He made my sub completely before starting on my husband's regular gluten full sub. I had no issues, did not have any reactions. He went out of his way to prevent cross contamination.
My wife is gluten intolerant and she loves that she can get a sub sandwich with gluten free bread from here. They have been pretty good about taking extra precautions and wiping down their slicer and/or using a separate slicer when cutting the meats. They also do have squirt bottles for the condiments. I did catch a guy once making my wife's sandwich use the wrong mayo from their container for the regular sandwiches. He apologized and said that he knew better and remade the sandwich correctly. My wife is very sensitive and so far had not had an issue from here. If/when I order online, they do have an extra comment section, so I do spell our under her order "Gluten intolerant. Please take all precautions." Glad that they give enough space to write it out - other places don't.
Loved it, they understand cross contamination, had gluten free options and was very educated in how to prep.
While the staff is very nice and accommodating, they are not trained in elimination of cross contamination. If management could invest time in training the staff, they would be able to be GF for celiac.
The staff are very friendly and the food is so good
Wonderful gluten free hoagies in Doylestown. They clean off the slicer and use fresh knife and board for GF to avoid cc. They did warn that they don't consider hot subs celiac friendly as they toast regular rolls on the grill. Be prepared to pay for GF though, $19 for a giant Italian. Upcharge is 3.50 for roll.
They do a good job and are as careful as you can be. Very happy they are here
I had a reaction because I went during the lunch time rush and there were loaves of bread everywhere. Now the guy was really nice about wiping down the equipment, but I was being risky by going at a busy time. I didn't get violently ill, but ill enough to know I had been cross contaminated.
When you ask for gluten free bread, they ask if it's for allergy or preference. They will then wipe down all their surfaces, change their gloves, use fresh dedicated knives, never let the bread come in contact with the counter or cutting board, special condiment bottles, and just generally take all precaution that there is no cross contamination.
I would give 6 stars if possible. Their staff is extremely accommodating and polite about cross contamination — which seems like such a rarity these days! The easiest method seems to be if you order from the app (or site) and note an allergy. Love their sandwiches too!
The best gf sub place that I've found! The staff is super sweet and always makes sure to thoroughly clean their equipment before making my sub. I've eaten here many times and have never had any problems!
Ordered chicken cheese steak on GF roll and was great option!
Gliten free bun that are really good!
This is my favorite Jersey Mikes location. When you order gluten free bread, they assemble your sandwich in a tray so it doesn't touch the surface other sandwiches were assembled on. They also offer pre packaged gluten free snickerdoodles. You can order gluten free bread for you sandwich or you can order it "in a tub" and they will put the sandwich fillings on a bed of lettuce.
It was pretty fast but the bread was disgusting my brother(who is celiac) said the bread tasted like sand and even the non-gluten free bread was not really that good I would not recommend going here but they did seem rather celiac friendly they make the sandwich's in a completely different area but just wasn't that good but it depends on your taste buds
I am so impressed about the amount of precaution and understanding this location has about gluten free options! I was nervous because there were crumbs on the counter and I'm sure it showed through my face because the manager was very informative and friendly about their policy on gluten free! My sub was made on the back counter which was wiped down and sanitized. My sub maker washed her hands and changed her gloves. The bread was taken out of a separate fridge, and was made with dedicated utensils! All cold cuts and cheese were freshly cut on a separate machine. I watched her make my sub the whole time and there were no visible signs of cross-contact. I felt very confident about being able to eat my sub without consequences and i didn't get sick! I highly recommend! * I will add that I was at the end of the line with no one behind me at about 1:45 pm, so i can not attest to how cautious they are during a busy time of the day*
This location made me a sandwich which must have been cross-contaminated because I had an adverse reaction. Apparently their employees have not been properly trained because I have eaten at other locations and had no problem.
Order the new gf sub roll. The employee immediately alerted the other employees. A new knife was used, paper was out down as a barrier to the common space, and new gloves were used. I am very impressed with the cafe that was taken with my sandwich. They have mayo packets to give you since the other mayo is contaminated with gluten crumbs. I have not had a sub in years and was so happy!!!
They have an option for a gluten free sub roll and it doesn't taste that bad either! When we went there was cross contamination and I ended up getting sick from it but have never had an issue before! I think it is because we ordered from the mobile app instead of going in person.
So glad that this location has gf bread! The employees knew to change their gloves in between and used different knives. Very welcoming and definitely will return!
It was only my second time here. First time cleaned all equipment and took care of me. This time did not clean equipment and contaminated my sandwich. Don't feel comfortable here anymore.
Followed their normal procedure with new gloves and clean knife when preparing my gluten free sub. Personally I love their GF philly cheese steak.
I went in and was allowed to just buy a loaf of gluten free bread! So cheap and so good!! I asked about the risk for cross contamination and the worked told me about how often they clean everything and they do have celiac safe preparation stations!! Highly recommend!!
Very good experience. Only one person handled my food after changing his gloves. No ill effects afterwards. I will definitely go back.
They were so super careful to not cross contaminate! They ask if you have an allergy and if you do, they change gloves and prepare your food separately. They're very careful. I'm a very sensitive celiac and have been here mode than 10 times and never a reaction. And everyone I've encountered has been just as careful.
They clean everything and do a great job avoiding cross contamination
I had an amazing experience here. They had gluten-free bread and gluten free cookies. As I was nearing the end of my order, the owner of Jersey Mike's knew I was gluten-free so he said " make some gluten-free cookies while you're at it" and gave us about two gluten-free cookies for free to try.
My sandwich was made in a separate area and everyone changed gloves. The bread is pretty good!
They have lettuce wraps, no gf buns. Employees did not seem to know anything about gluten.
The staff was great. They cleaned the surface, cleaned the griddle, changed gloves, changed knives before prepping our sandwiches. Very nice and clean!
They do a phenomenal job of preparing food safely for Celiac's, all staff is well trained. Highly recommend, have eaten here many times and never gotten sick.

Cop's gun fires twice inside New York mall's bathroom
WALLKILL, N.Y. – Authorities say a police officer's personal handgun discharged twice when someone tried to steal his jacket while he was in the bathroom at an upstate New York shopping mall.
The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports that Lt. Paul Pratti of the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office had hung his jacket on a stall door in a restroom at the Galleria in Wallkill in neighboring Orange County last Saturday night.
Officials say someone reached over the door and tried to grab his jacket, with the gun inside. Police say the gun fired twice, with both bullets hitting the ceiling. No one was injured.
Authorities say Pratti was off duty at the time. Town of Wallkill police are investigating, while the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office is also conducting an internal investigation.

My friend Adrienne posted a link to a photo of Helena Bonham Carter at the Golden Globes wearing the same style of shoe, but in two different colors.
Our friend Amy posted this comment in response:
"Ha! My sister did exactly that, several years ago for her daughter's Bat Mitzvah. As the whole family was running around crazy that morning, getting dressed, trying to remember all the little "to-dos," my sister was trying to figure out which color sandals would go with her dress—she had two pairs of the same sandal in two different colors. In the midst of the hysteria, she neglected to make a decision, and walked out of the house with one of each color on her feet! By the time they arrived at the synagogue and she had realized what she'd done, it was too late to go home and change. Thus, she went through the whole service with her mismatched sandals! I'm sure it's the same story here (minus the daughter and the Bar Mitzvah stuff!)."
I laughed out loud because it immediately reminded me of my experience in Florida nearly four years ago—so I went searching for "The Shoe Column."
I'm still trying to take it easy as I recuperate from severe anemia, so forgive me for repeating this column...except you should know it's a heckuva lot funnier than the one I was going to write about our home answering machine message and way less gross than the details of my recent forays into modern medicine, which can pretty much be summed up by the little boy's scream in the "David After the Dentist" You Tube video and his plaintive question, "Is this going to be forever?"
By COLLEEN LEDDY
I didn't intend to travel anywhere for spring break this year. A combination of guilt and fickle finances convinced me that if anybody was going anywhere it should be David. In past years, he hasn't always joined me and the kids on spring break excursions due to the demands of putting out a paper every week. So, I nobly suggested that he accompany Maddie to Miami to visit Ben and attend a University of Miami campus event for accepted students and their parents, while I stayed home and worked at the office.
Then Maddie was invited by the other of her prospective Florida colleges to a scholarship competition. It was a hefty scholarship opportunity, one we thought she shouldn't pass up—even though we think she will probably end up selecting the University of Michigan as her college of choice. But David didn't like her plan to travel by Greyhound alone from downtown Orlando to downtown Miami. So, enter me, personal parental escort to the indecisive future college student.
Now that I've returned from what became a glorious 10-day trip to Florida, I've gotten over the guilt of going from no vacation to a vacation twice as long as David's Wednesday-to-early-Monday-morning journey. David had eased the guilt somewhat by suggesting I consider the trip a celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. I guess it was fitting that he was only there half the time since the other half I was mentally checked out anyway.
Maybe it was the stress of driving a rental car, trying not to get in a crash and wondering if I made the right decision of opting to return the car with a full tank of gas instead of paying for a full tank in advance and returning the car on an empty tank. Maybe it was the burden of ignoring the twinge of fear that lingers in the background when mother and daughter travel alone, feeling like an easy mark. Maybe it was just the continuing saga of me being me. Whatever it was, it sure was persistent.
It started when I tried to drive the rental car wearing my clunky and quite ugly sage and brown Birkenstock sandals. My foot kept slipping on the gas pedal so I switched the Birk with the right foot of my hot pink Crocs, also quite ugly, but extremely comfortable. That footgear worked well on our first evening driving around the Orlando area. When we returned to a mall the second night, we entered through the Barnes and Noble bookstore. I sauntered in while Maddie rushed through, headed for clothing stores inside the mall. We planned to meet later in the bookstore. I was approaching the bathroom when I looked down and discovered I was wearing an ugly Birkenstock on one foot and a hot pink Croc on the other. Glad that Maddie wasn't there to witness the doddering acts of her mother, I walked all the way through the store, trying not to laugh out loud, back to the car to make the switch to two ugly Birkenstocks.
Two days later, I did the same thing. We walked into a restaurant on Park Avenue in the very swanky Winter Park neighborhood. We ordered and ate our food, then walked into a store to browse when I happened to look down and see the Birkenstock on the left foot and hot pink Croc on the right. Maddie ushered me out of the store, whereupon I proceeded to try to unlock another white car that was not ours, all the while laughing out loud at my folly. Maddie had returned to the store by this time, unamused by my antics and incredulous that I can't tell the difference between a Dodge Charger and a Lexus LS.
Later in the week, we were walking around Coconut Grove after dinner and Ben's girlfriend Sarah had to go to the bathroom.
"Let's go in this hotel," Maddie suggested.
So, we walk into the lobby of a swanky hotel pretending we belong, go to the bathroom, sample their fancy hand cream and then stroll through the lobby as if we're hotel guests. We were two blocks away before I realized my belt was hanging down, unbuckled.
You probably don't need to hear the story of the earplug in the toilet, or my escapades on the exercise course at a park near Ben's house, but if Maddie chooses to go to school in Florida—far away from me—I'm guessing you won't be surprised.

popular low investment sunflower oil production line
Technical description:
This sunflower oil production line is for pretreatment for removing out the impurities from the vegetable oil materials. These impurities are generally referred to as organic and inorganic impurities. The organic impurities include the stem leaf, cord, chemical fibers, velveteen and their seeds. The inorganic impurities, however, sometimes mean soil, dinas and metal.The vegetable oil processing industry involves the extraction and processing of oils and fats from vegetable sources.
The new technology for sunflower oil production line
Recently, In order to overcome the shortcoming of the poor quality protein of the cake and meal from the pre-pressing & solvent extraction process, we develop the new processing technology, these technology also could get the high quality crude oil.
It adopts the extruder to replace the traditional steam cooker vessel, to heat the seeds in shortly time ,to make the oil cell expanding, keep the protein not destroyed, to get the good quality cake for the animal food .
The advantage with extruding-pressing method:
1.The crude oil quality is higher. The phospholipids of crude oil (150ppm) is lower than cooking-pressing method (500-700ppm). Also the better original oil color. The final oil is not required to refining.The final oil is 100% green edible oil .
2.The final oil yield is higher, about 98%, the residue oil of cake could be controlled to 4-5% .
The protein denaturation is less.The protein is destroyed small because of the shortly time heating(20s orso) in the extruder,so the protein is high quality for animal food or raw materials of human food .
3.The life of oil press is longer, also improve the capacity 50% more.
4.Energy consumption is less than cooking-pressing method. The extruder only requries the less steam than steam cooker .
5.Save the investment and working cost . Not require to use the solvent extraction process with the less oil in cake.

MIRACLES IN SPRAY CANS (Feb, 1957)
Those mashed potatoes look pretty good, but I'm waiting for the creamed spinach in a spray can. Yum!
Your favorite food may soon be available in push-button containers with the exciting new Polysol packing process.
By Robert G. Beason
A MADISON AVENUE advertising executive, discussing a sales campaign with a new client, shoved his chair back and said, "Charley, if you can put a push button on it you'll make a fortune. Nobody can resist a push button."
The ad man knew whereof he spoke. One of his other clients was a manufacturer of women's hair lacquer. It was a good product but sales were poor —until he started packaging the lacquer in an aerosol container, a pressurized can with a push button on top. In three years' time, sales of the lacquer increased 25-fold!
America's love of ease and convenience has created a whole new aerosol industry almost overnight. Anyone who can remember World War II is able to span the complete history of aerosols. Two U. S. Department of Agriculture researchers started it all in 1944 when they discovered that insecticides could be dissolved in solvents and liquefied gases and dispensed under pressure. The result was the bug bomb, a heavy-duty aerosol that became as useful to the GI as his M-l rifle.
All wartime production was taken by the government. But when the shooting was over, dozens of insecticide makers, using the USDA's free patent, reduced the aerosol to hand size and put it on the market. Production amounted to only a few thousand in 1946, then jumped to 5-1/2 million the next year. The boom had begun. Consumers and industry in 1955 bought 235 million aerosols and the final 1956 figure is expected to be over a quarter-billion.
One of the keys to this phenomenal growth is adaptability. The industry has adapted more than 100 items to aerosol containers since the first days when only bug killers came with push buttons. Today you can press a button to grease heavy gears, paint a wall, apply shoe polish, give the ailing dog a shot of medicine, put on nail polish, squirt cream on strawberries, put out a fire, relieve the pain of sunburn, cover the Christmas tree with snow or administer a soothing drug to an asthmatic trachea.
A great many products are not found in aerosol form, notably some lotions, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages and most foods. The reason lies in aerosol propellants—gases used to force a product out of the container. Most are refrigerated gases, or fluori-nated hydrocarbons, the same substances that keep the home refrigerator cold. The two principal brands are Freon, made by Du Pont, and Genetron, made by Allied Chemical & Dye.
Trouble is, they never have been cleared by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as safe for use with foods. They also cannot be used with most waterbase materials (like rubbing alcohol) because of chemical reactions that change the product and corrode the can. Refrigerants have a chilling effect when they hit the skin, so most lotions are out.
One aerosol packager now has come up with a formula that promises to remove nearly all restrictions. It is called Polysol, developed by the Connecticut Chemical Research Corporation (Conn-Chem) of Bridgeport. The firm's president, A. O. Samuels, sees vast potentials for his new method.
"The impact will be felt all through industry and on the consumer level," he says. "It increases the possibilities of pressure packing better than tenfold."
Polysol is basically a concept of new propellants—inert gases like helium, neon, argon, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, butane, propane and krypton.
Probably the most startling potential of Polysols is in the foods line, long eyed hungrily by the aerosol crowd.
Conn-Chem already has produced experimental cans of peanut butter, cheese spread, mustard and catsup. Polysol gases are safe for use with foods and do not alter flavor or texture, the main requirements for public acceptance. At a press luncheon a few months ago Conn-Chem demonstrated a dry, dry martini—a whiff of vermouth sprayed on a glass of gin.
Any food that can be made into cream or liquid can be dispensed from Polysol bottles. The first to reach retail shelves, possibly in one to two years, probably will be mayonnaise, syrups, vinegar, cooking oils, salad dressings, sauces and mustard and catsup. Creamed vegetables like spinach, strained baby foods, even mashed potatoes are possible. The knife of practicality eventually falls, of course. Potatoes will probably always be too cheap for a costly dispenser.
The first Polysols are to hit the market this spring. In the van will be a depilatory. Hair-removers heretofore have had a limited market because they are hard to use and have an unpleasant odor. The Polysol product has a pleasant scent and is easy to apply. In five years, Samuels believes, a whisker-remover to eliminate shaving for men will be on the market.
A mouth wash and throat spray likely will be No. 2, followed by body rubs, eyewashes, anti-perspirants, personal and household disinfectants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste and even some solids such as talcum.
Even before the Polysol concept, aerosolers foresaw a 600,000,000-unit. year for 1960. How far can it go?
"I frankly don't know," says Samuels. "Probably just as far as your imagination can take you."

Institute for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage appeared on the Tavis Smiley Show on October 31 to discuss the tax and economic policies advanced by Republican presidential candidates and their impact on middle- and low-income people.
He calls the flat-tax proposals of candidates Rick Perry and Herman Cain, as well as the regressive tax changes offered by candidate Mitt Romney, "reverse Robin Hood plans" that take from the poor in terms of reduced government services and higher taxes, and give to the rich in the form of a lower overall tax burden. These plans come "at a time in which we're seeing extreme inequality and concentrated wealth we haven't seen since before the Great Depression."
The flat-tax plans are particularly egregious, Borosage tells Smiley. In the case of Perry, his plan "eliminates taxes on wealth" and slashes government revenues by $5 trillion over 10 years, a deficit that has to be made up by a 25 percent cut in government spending, including "deep cuts in the basic promises we make to working Americans about their retirement."
Cain's plan "is the worst," Borosage says, because it would among other things impose a 9 percent national sales tax on top of the state and local taxes people pay on consumer goods. Because the lower the income a person makes the higher the percentage of that income is devoted to spending on consumer items, that means the Cain plan would fall the hardest on low-income and middle-income people.
Borosage also raises concerns about "a financialization of our economy that is having really disastrous effects on ... our ability to ensure that the strength of our democracy, which is a strong middle class, is sustained." Smiley responds, "It's not just that our economy is challenged by those kinds of numbers, but it's democracy as we know it. Some people might call that hyperbolic, but I don't. ... I don't think the democracy can sustain itself long term with the kind of numbers you just laid out."

No one knows what Nova Del 2013 will do next, but there are some tantalizing possibilities.
The current AAVSO light curve for Nova Del 2013
So far it appears Nova Del 2013 is a 'slow nova', type NB in VSX. By definition, it takes 150 days or more for a slow nova to fade by 3 magnitudes.
Sometimes "or more" can mean a lot of other exciting goings on.
Welcome, fans of Nova Del 2013!
Below is a listing of the various AAVSO publications, posts, and articles on the new bright nova in Delphinus. Use the links on the right side of the page to find out more about the AAVSO and how you can get in on the action.
Clear skies!
August 16, 2013
Event: Nova Del 2013 = PNV J20233073+2046041 [V339 Del]
Discovered by: Koichi Itagaki (Teppo-cho, Yamagata, Japan), reported by S. Nakano (Sumoto, Japan)
Discovery Magnitude: unfiltered CCD magnitude mag 6.8 using a 0.18-m reflector
Discovery date: 2013 Aug. 14.584 UT
Coordinates: R.A. 20 23 30.73 Decl. +20 46 04.1 (2000.0)
Due to the very bright eruption of Nova Del 2013, we have created a binocular sequence specifically for this nova that can be plotted using the Binocular Chart option on the chart plotter (VSP).
For best results specify a field of view of 900 arc minutes (15 degrees) and a limiting magnitude of 7 and click on the Binocular Chart option. This will produce an uncluttered chart with a sequence from 6.9 - 3.5V for use with binoculars. Or you may simply download the chart attached to this page.

Bono, Ben, and Robert
(Memo to Duana: THEY FILMED THIS IN IRELAND)
She's Irish, you see. It's a selling feature for her.
Anyway, Misfits cast photos are not a weekly occurrence. So when they happen, they have to be posted.
By the way, have you watched Misfits yet? Look, all the episodes from the first 2 seasons are online. Start here, you should be able to find your way to the rest. I watched obsessively on holiday in Tofino last year and am desperately waiting for season 3. And since then I've heard from many others who did the same on the recommendation, and they are equally addicted. It's perverse, hilarious, irreverent, and nothing like most of the sh-t we get on tv in North America. Do it.
As for one of the stars of Misfits, Robert Sheehan, he was in Ireland yesterday with Ben Barnes promoting their film Killing Bono. Theirs was the brother band that was thwarted by the rise of U2, based on the "true-ish" story of Neil and Ivan McCormack. So what does Bono think? Neil said that:
"Bono has seen the film. He liked it but just thought the actor playing him should have been bit taller." (source)
Funny, right? The film opens in the UK on April 1. Have no idea about other territories. My guess though is that it'll be hard for it to find an audience in America even though, well, watch the trailer – that doesn't seem like it would suck, does it?
But what is Robert working on his chin there? Never mind. His pants are purple. I mean, if there's anyone, it would be him.

Although Colorado lost a major daily newspaper in 2009, a batch of specialty news outlets have sprung up –namely I-News Network, Education News Colorado, and Health Policy Solutions–to do in-depth work.
Cynthia Hessin hosts a discussion about the new ventures on "Colorado State of Mind," Friday at 7:30 p.m. on Rocky Mountain PBS (KRMA-Channel 6).
The roundtable: Laura Frank, executive director of I-News, Alan Gottlieb, publisher of Education News Colorado, Diane Carman, editor of Solutions, and Jeff Thomas, editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette, to discuss the future of journalism in the state.
I-News, led by several former Rocky Mountain News staffers including Frank, is a Colorado-based nonprofit investigative news collaborative, part of the national Investigative News Network, dedicated to investigative journalism in the public interest.
Gottlieb was a reporter for the Post before getting into education policy at the Piton Foundation, now publishing a news service devoted to in-depth coverage of education policy-making and education reform. Carman is a former Post editor and columnist, now editing the Solutions website, a source for objective, in-depth information about health care policy for the region.
Good to see so many former colleagues doing honest work.

Hidden Agendas
It's not fair!
Who do they think they are? I'm just trying to contribute some good ideas!
Why do they have to be such dictators, anyway?
Why doesn't my boss like me? What did I ever do to her?
If I did anything wrong, why don't they just tell me?
I just took worker's comp/medical leave/vacation that I was entitled to, and now my job is in jeopardy?! I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, so why am I still having problems?
Aren't they supposed to hear my side of the story before jumping to conclusions about me?
What in heck is going on around here ...
... and what do I do about it?
For anyone who wants to work for somebody else, Cynthia Shapiro's "Corporate Confidential: 50 Secrets Your Company Doesn't Want You To Know—And What To Do About Them" is for you!
First, Shapiro's got cred. She's a consultant who helps businesses better manage their employees, and employees better manage their careers. She spent years as a vice president of Human Resources. She's done the dirty work and seen it all. For example, she notes that, "I once had to fire someone with four kids right before Christmas. When he asked me why, I couldn't tell him it was because he said something in an all-company meeting that the CEO took as [an] insult."
The basic message: It's all about their agenda and needs, not yours. Figure out what they need, and fulfill it.
Shapiro describes management's agenda: To protect both themselves and also the firm they've worked so hard to develop and/or maintain. We need to know how they intend to do this, so we can figure out how to stay on their good side.
One of her most important points: Even though you're doing something they'd really rather you stop doing, they have strong reasons not to tell you!
Management may avoid telling you because you may get really ticked off, and then maybe just argue with them, maybe quit, maybe stay but slack off in resentment ... or even sue them, with or without justification. (The latter possibility is why private one-on-one feedback meetings are going out of style. People increasingly want witnesses just in case the person they're criticizing comes out with a very different version of what happened at the meeting.)
Another reason is that they'd rather you stop doing it on your own because you've changed as a person, not because you just want to get ahead. Keep in mind that many corporate behaviors which bosses insist on may seem pretty arbitrary or worse: filling out applications just so, showing up on time (if not early) every day, dressing up in a nice shirt, slacks (if not a suit and tie) and dress socks/hose and dress shoes, etc.
Why don't managers tell you to shape up? Hey, if you give someone a gift and he doesn't thank you, what would it be worth if you asked him to thank you and he did? Not much. The thanks are worth much less in themselves than as a signal of what the person will do willingly. And if you want to get beyond the worker-bee level, your bosses will need for you to step up and do lots of things willingly, not because they're standing over you and telling you to do each and every little thing.
That's why managers have secret standards. The ones who pass the unwritten little tests prosper because they've shown they've got what it takes.
Most importantly, Shapiro provides actionable, specific advice for advancing your career. Among other things, volunteer beyond your assigned tasks—especially for things your boss hates to do. Openly support, even cheerlead for, your company and keep everything you publicly say positive. Also, when something needs to be said privately, seriously consider saying it face-to-face only. And alongside these and many other great tips, she explains why they work.
"Corporate Confidential" gives us a management's-eye view of the corporation—basically, what your boss (and his/her bosses) would love to tell you but generally won't. (And for those of us who'd like to improve on the current system, Shapiro closes with advice on how to manage well.)
If you want to get ahead—especially if you're an Aspie—you should include "Corporate Confidential" in your career resources.

I don't know why, but it kind of works when it wants to work. I haven't been able to play properly for the past several days now, and it's really getting to me. Whenever I try to launch it now, I get the error "The content was stopped because a fatal content error has been detected.". After un-installing and wiping all data related to Unity from the computer, then restarting and re-installing Unity (several times with no success) I tried playing in Firefox instead (I normally use Chrome). It worked, or atleast appeared to, but then I accidentally clicked the permanent link on top of the game window, which basically refreshed the window. When it had refreshed, it didn't load but got me the error again.
I've been trying for days to no avail now. Is there any possibility that you could keep a download available? I know you've gone the path of the Unity plugin since it makes updating easier, but there's little point of it if a large group of your players can't even play at all. What I'm suggesting is that you keep a downloadable version of the beta available, which you update whenever you feel you've made changes large enough to warrant it. I sure know I'd rather be playing a somewhat outdated version of the game rather than not being able to play at all. Once you've solved whatever hate Unity seems to have for DD (or once Unity has solved it), I'll gladly go back to playing the browserbased version.
If you're looking for any information regarding my error, I've tried Firefox and Chrome, completely un-installing then re-installing unity aswell as restarting the computer between each attempt. The error occurs shortly after the Unity loading bar has finished, and seems to relate to when it's trying to fetch the content or something. The other Unity based games I play run with no problems.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP1, because SP2 fails to install for some strange reason) on a 2.7GHz dual core AMD processor, 3 GB RAM and 512 graphical memory.

If you're looking for some good handlebar tape, I recommend Bontrager gel cork. It's a step up from the original cork tape popularized by a well-known Italian company.
I say this because the tape, while it has all the properties of cork tape, and even looks like it, is made from silicone gel that should last longer and has more padding than cork.
The benefits go beyond this important characteristic. Bontrager gives you plenty of tape. I had about six inches remaining after taping my handlebars, something that never happened using other brands.
Even better, the wrap does not rely on sticky tape for adhesion, a failing of the traditional cork wrap. If you've ever changed bar wrap and had to deal with the old tape, you know what a mess it makes.
Finally, Bontrager bar end caps are reflective, a nice touch for night riding. The only negative is that the black tape that's supposed to keep the wrap from unraveling is inadequate. I use electrical tape.
What's interesting about the tape is that it was patented (applied 2001, received 2005) by Tsai-Yun Yu, who lives in Taiwan.
Keith Bontrager, who hails from Sunnyvale/Santa Cruz, started designing bike parts in the early 1980s, according to his website video. Prior to cycling he was a motocross racer.
Keith's company (now part of Trek?) also sells tires. I bought one recently but have yet to try it out. After Avocet stopped producing tires, I switched to Continental. They've been reliable and long-lasting.
More good news: If you like pink, Bontrager makes it, and based on what I saw at the bike shop I visited, there's plenty to go around.

Carnival's Kids Program
Camp Carnival is a year-round, fleet wide program that provides daily fun-filled and age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 2 and 11 years old. In addition, there is supervised "free play" and evening babysitting service (for a nominal fee). Scheduled activities are planned for the following age groups: Penguins (2 - 5 years old), Stingrays (6 - 8 years old) and Sharks (9 - 11 years old).
Carnival also offers programs for teens between the ages of 12 and 17. Circle "C" is for the 12-14 age group and features games, parties and other supervised activities. Club O2, for the 15-17 age group, provides teens with amazing games, music, dance, movies and sports.
Here is more information and a sampling of activities offered for each age group:
Penguins (ages 2 - 5)
Children also get their very own menus, featuring all their favorite foods. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, macaroni & cheese and spaghetti & meatballs are all available on a Carnival cruise, so even pint-size guests can feel pampered on their "Fun Ship" family vacation.
Carnival provides stroller rentals fleet-wide, for a nominal fee.
Activities for toddlers may include:
Stingrays (ages 6 - 8)
Children get their very own menus, featuring all their favorite foods. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, macaroni & cheese and spaghetti & meatballs are all available on a Carnival cruise, so even pint-size guests can feel pampered on their "Fun Ship" family vacation. Camp Carnival provides "Children's Only" dinner most nights. These dinners take place in the Lido Restaurant. On Port Days, Carnival will provide lunch for children whose parents are ashore.
Plus, to make it even easier for parents to enjoy their vacation, Carnival has implemented fleet wide stroller and Game Boy rentals for a nominal fee. That's one less thing to remember to pack!
Activities for juniors may include:
From dodgeball and pool parties to video games and scavenger hunts, young cruisers ages 9 through 11 will have the opportunity to participate in fun events and make new friends from all over the world.
Activities for intermediates may include:
Circle "C" is the ultimate Teen Program for kids ages 12 to 14 years old. Cool activities, awesome facilities and lots of rad new friends to add to their e-mail lists. Now young teens have a place of their own to connect with friends or simply chill. Circle "C" is the place to be for parties, games and other supervised activities created just for them (think dance parties, movies and more).
Teens must be registered with Circle "C" in order to participate in the activities, but it's up to them how many -- or few -- they choose to attend. Teens can come and go as they want, with activities running until the early morning hours. For teens that love to dance, Carnival has great news. Every night aboard a Carnival cruise 12- to 14- year-old guests will have the opportunity to "mix and mingle" at the shipboard dance club to the latest hits. Some ships feature a Circle "C" Lounge, where movies, music videos, a touch-screen jukebox and gaming pods are available.
Activities for Circle "C" may include:
From the moment they step onboard, Club O2 teens are part of a cruise experience unlike anything else. Every activity and event -- like basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, pool parties and high-energy dance parties -- has been specially created with 15-17 year-olds in mind.
Club O2 daytime activities are designed to be a little more relaxed. Teens can hang out with their friends while watching a movie, listening to the latest music, playing video games or joining karaoke jam sessions. Carnival has even set up teen-only shore excursions so young adults can enjoy the sites and sounds of beautiful ports with their peers.
Many Carnival ships feature a dedicated lounge designed just for the Club O2 program. These hot spots feature comfy seating, video monitors, a state-of-the-art dance floor and an area to enjoy Coca-Cola products and other non-alcoholic specialty drinks.
Club O2 Directors are hired and trained to spark the interest of the teens and get them involved. Each director brings their own unique style to Club O2. Their motivation and dedication to the program ensures every teen's cruise experience is unlike any they have ever had before. They are hosts, entertainers and often DJ's for the teens.
Activities for Club O2 may include:
Carnival would like to note that Camp Carnival is not a "daycare". The program is designed so that families are able to enjoy quality family time together, and yet also have the choice of being with peers of their own age, whenever desired.
Hours for children ages 2 to 5 are as follows:
Hours for children ages 6 to 14 are as follows:
Hours for children ages 15 to 17 are as follows:
Camp Carnival Counselors
All babysitting services are offered within Camp Carnival in the form of a "slumber party", where kids can enjoy watching movies and cartoons. Pillows and blankets will be provided and for the younger children cribs are also available. In order to take advantage of this great service, parents should sign up in advance with Camp Carnival. The cost for this service is just $6.75 per hour plus a 15% gratuity, per child. Payment must be made with your Sail & Sign card and is due upon pick up. Carnival Cruise Lines does not offer any in-cabin babysitting services.
For children in the 9-11 year old age group Carnival offers an intermediate After Hours program running from 10pm-12am each night which would also be charged at the regular babysitting fee. During this time Carnival will have a variety of activities available including the latest game consoles, board games, Karaoke, games, theme nights, and Gameboys. After 12am the 9-11 year olds will join the regular slumber party to watch movies, this will run until 3am. The 9-11 year olds must be signed up in advance for this activity and during this time the 9-11's will not be permitted to sign themselves out, parents must return to pick up their children.
Parents with children in diapers will be asked to provide a supply of diapers and wipes and the Youth Staff will be happy to change your children during their stay. If your children have a pacifier or any other item that will ensure their comfort during this time, bring this along.
Children under the age of 2 will also be offered babysitting services on Sea Days in the form of a Family Play Time. During this time parents are welcome to stay with their children to play free of charge or if you choose you can leave your kids under 2 with Camp Carnival for the regular babysitting fee. Carnival also offers Port Day Babysitting for your under 2 year old. The early morning port service will begin 15 minutes before the ship's arrival in port until 12pm and for late ports this will be offered during 'free play' times (see your Youth Staff when you arrive on the ship for details).

Winter Solstice Body Nectar
Winter Solstice marks the first day of winter and is celebrated by spending time with loved ones, festivals and embracing the slower mood that winter brings. Hints of citrus sparkle through botanical notes in this scent, making this a great scent for bringing people together.
Notes of:
siberian fir • warm cedar • sugared berries • greenery • amber • vanilla • moss
A luxurious blend of skin-loving oils, infused with dried hibiscus and rose petals make these body nectars great for skin that needs a little bit of love + moisture.
HOW TO USE • Use this body nectar right after your bath or shower, or drop a bit into the running bath water. While your skin is still moist and your pores are open, massage the oil onto your skin, from ankles to neck. Your skin will absorb the oils while leaving your skin soft, smooth, supple and hydrated. Packaged in a 4 ounce glass bottle with an easy-to-use pump. A pump or two is perfect for each part of your body, making it easy to dispense just the right amount that you want. When you're all finished with your body nectar, you can dry the flowers inside and reuse your glass bottle for whatever you'd like!
Ingredients: grapeseed oil (vitis vinifera seed oil), sweet almond oil (prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, (simmondsia chinensis seed oil), apricot kernel oil (prunus armeniaca kernel oil), hibiscus flowers (hibiscus sabdariffa), rose petals (rosa centifolia), fragrance oil.
Grapeseed OIl
Extracted from the seeds of (usually) wine grapes, grape seeds are loaded with powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants help give your skin the goodies it needs to stay healthy, clear and soft and delay the skins natural aging process. Grapeseed oil contains linoleic acid (a type of fatty acid), which helps skin jump back from issues like acne, eczema and dermatitis. It's helpful in reducing the signs of age spots, wrinkles and stretch marks. This oil, along with sweet almond oil, helps restore collagen, which helps your skin to form that "youthful glow" layer.
Apricot Kernel OIl
Obtained from the seeds of apricots, apricot kernel oil is a wonderful light oil, that absorbs quickly into the skin and makes it oh-so-soft. Apricot kernel oil's anti-aging properties are easy to incorporate into your skincare routine because this oil is light and easily accepted by your skin. It helps improve skin tone and fights the signs of the natural aging process. Great for skin that's been stripped of it's natural oils, using this oil right after a shower or bath will help seal moisture into skin.
Sweet Almond Oil
Rich in vitamin e, monounsaturated fatty acids, potassium and zinc, sweet almond oil has been used as a miracle oil since it was first domesticated! Sweet almond oil is produced from edible almonds and is easily absorbed into the skin. Because of the vitamin e that's naturally found in sweet almond oil, regular use of it can protect your skin from stress and UV radiation damage, and even help to repair damage to the collagen layer in your skin (the layer that keeps that youthful glow about you!). Because it's so rich in proteins, it helps provide the amino acids that are required for your skin to form collagen. It can also help with sun damage, dryness/itchiness and other mild skin conditions. Just using this in your skincare routine will help keep your skin hydrated, supple and soft.
Hibiscus Flowers
Hibiscus is nicknamed the "botox plant" because it's one of the most powerful anti-aging plants. It increases skin elasticity, giving you a youthful glow while lifting and firming your skin. Hibiscus flowers have slight exfoliating properties found in the organic acids, which help speed up cell turnover, resulting in a more even skin tone. Hibiscus is also rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants have been proven to help fight free radicals, which can result in premature aging and also help reduce the appearance of large pores, making your complexion appear smoother. This miracle plant encourages fresher, younger, smoother looking skin, even helping control acne breakouts. Harsh drugstore products contain synthetics that strip your skin of its natural, much-needed oils, yet the organic acids in hibiscus bring back those glorious oils and balance your skin, giving you a naturally gorgeous glowing complexion. Hibiscus also has a high mucilage content (sounds like something you wouldn't want, but trust me… you do), which is a sticky substance that's produced by plants to help with the storage of water and food. Mucilage is a wonderful natural skin moisturizer that's gentle for sensitive skin. Found in hibiscus, it enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture, keeping your skin hydrated, soft, supple and free from dull, dry skin.
Rose Petals
Rose petals help rejuvenate and replenish skin. Naturally antibacterial, rose oils can help treat acne-prone skin, help reduce swollen spots or redness and can help soothe rosacea and eczema symptoms. Rose petals also contain high amounts of vitamin C, which help protect skin cells from damage. Also a natural astringent, they help tighten pores and restore suppleness for a glowing complexion (unlike store-bought alcohol-based toners which leave your skin feeling dried out, rose leaves skin feeling smooth). They help control excess oil, unclog pores and also keep your skin looking taut and glowing. As rose petals contain antioxidants and antibacterial compounds, they soothe the skin, providing relief from excessive irritation and itching. Rose petal oils also help lock moisture into the skin, keeping it feeling smooth and soft. (it's especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin because the sugars in its petals create a soothing feeling). A staple in Ayurvedic medicine, they also detoxify and calm.
How To: Light + Trim your Wood Wick Candles
View this post on Instagram
My fool-proof method for lighting + trimming wood wick candles 🕯
A post shared by WOOD & WAX CO. (@woodandwaxco) on
• Hold the flame to the bottom tip of the wick until the wick is fully lit
• Set your candle down on an even surface in a non-drafty area
• Do not extinguish your candle until the entire surface has melted (if you prematurely extinguish the flame, your candle will tunnel and a tunneled candle is no good!)
• Pinch the burnt edges of your wick between your fingers + discard
• Brush your fingertip over the wick to make sure all of the burnt bits have been broken off
• Light using the same method as shown above

These "wet spots" do not affect the way your candles burn or smell in any way.
Linen + Air Mists • Different fragrance combinations mixed with our linen + air mist base may cause a milky or cloudy appearance. This is normal and varies from scent to scent. It does not affect the way your mist will work or smell. Be sure to give these a shake before use to mix everything together for the best results.
Beauty + Skin Products • Due to the nature of handmade products and the natural oils used in our goods, separation is normal! A simple shake will bring everything back together and is an easy solution.
We know you're smart! But here's the rundown:
For external use only. We have no way of knowing what you're allergic to, so if you have any sort of reaction, discontinue use! If you have sensitive skin, we suggest a small patch test for sensitivities. Our products are great, but they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Avoid direct contact with eyes and inner mouth. Please check out the listed ingredients for each product if you have an allergy to anything.

SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) — California vintners have something to celebrate. Both the tonnage of grapes harvested and the prices recorded for them set records in 2012.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released preliminary figures Friday showing that California's crush last year was a record high 4.3 million tons. Red wine grapes accounted for the largest share at 2.3 million tons, up nearly 20 percent from 2011.
The average price growers received for grapes across the state was up nearly 25 percent to $734 a ton. But premium wine grapes grown in Napa County were a lot more valuable, averaging $3,578 a ton.
Prices for chardonnay averaged $846 a ton, up 12 percent from 2012.
The average price for cabernet sauvignon rose nearly 20 percent to $1,376 a ton, 5 percent better than last year.
