[news] Lee Da-hae make big screen debut with 'Song of Springs'
Korean actress Lee Da-hae will be making her big screen debut in an upcoming historical movie, according to the movie's producer Sang Sang Entertainment on Thursday.
A press release from Sang Sang announced that Lee will play the female lead named Ara in the film "Song of Springs," based on the novel of the same name written by novelist Kim Hoon, opposite Lee Sung-jae and Ahn Sung-ki.
"Springs" will be helmed by famed director Joo Kyeong-joong, who won best director at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards for "A Little Monk."
"Springs" has already been sold to Japan and China after garnering attention for Japanese producer Satoru Iseki taking part in the overseas distribution and marketing for the film.
Lee has appeared in several dramas since her debut in 2001. Her most notable works include her role in "Lotus Flower Fairy" and rose to stardom in Korea and throughout Asia with "My Girl."
She recently played the lead female role alongside Korean actors Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji-ho in the hit KBS historical drama "The Slave Hunters" which recorded viewership ratings in the high 30 percent range.
Filming for "Song of Springs" will begin in the summer and the premiere date has been set for around the summer of next year.

The House Armed Services Committee has ignored warnings from the Joint Chiefs, the secretary of defense and, this week, from the most influential defense think tanks in Washington by approving a fiscal 2014 defense authorization bill that does little to nothing to trim personnel costs.
Military beneficiaries and their advocates will applaud these lawmakers who refuse to support higher TRICARE health fees or even a modest pay raise cap in the face of shrinking defense budgets, remaining worried that it will rile or insult service personnel and retirees in wartime.
But among the rising chorus of critics for this everything-for-troops-always stand are some senior members of the committee who openly agree with the Joint Chiefs that the defense budget is disturbingly out of balance.
The House committee not only rejected higher TRICARE fees for retirees and a .8 percent cut to January's 1.8 percent pay raise for current forces, but it has voted to block a long-planned shift in TRICARE options for 171,000 geographically-remote users of Prime, the managed care option.
Prime enrollees who reside more than 40 miles from a military treatment facility were to lose access to managed care Oct. 1 in favor of TRICARE Standard, the fee-for-service insurance option. For beneficiaries who fall ill TRICARE Standard fees mean higher out-of-pocket costs.
But a grandfather provision drafted by retired Marine Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), and attached to the House bill, would allow these beneficiaries to stay under Prime using one-time "opt-in" feature. The arrangement with Prime would end if and when they relocate to a different zip code.
If the Senate also accepts the provision, it would derail consolidation of Prime service areas that TRICARE officials touted would save up to $56 million a year. Under Kline's plan, projected savings would accrue very slowly over time, only as beneficiaries move or lose Prime eligibility.
Meanwhile, TRICARE would continue to pay regional contractors to maintain networks of primary care providers and specialists for as long as even one "grandfathered" beneficiary remained. Also, TRICARE would have to develop new business rules and processes to identify and manage the grandfathered beneficiaries starting Oct. 1, officials explained.
As reported here two weeks ago, the only TRICARE fee hike the House committee couldn't stop this year is a $4 pop in a $12 co-pay that retirees under 65 and their family members now pay for outpatient care under Prime.
Among the more vocal critics of the mindset to protect personnel accounts first and always are the committee's ranking Democrat Adam Smith (Wash.); Texas Republican Mac Thornberry, chairman of the intelligence, emerging threats and capabilities subcommittee, and Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), ranking member of the strategic forces subcommittee.
They expressed their worries during mark up of the defense bill after Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) offered an amendment to expedite the work of a military compensation commission to be named this month. Her amendment also would have made enactment of the commission's recommendations more likely because Congress only could accept or reject but not modify them, the same rigid rules needed for closing excess military bases.
Smith said he backed Speier's amendment, noting that the committee for years has not supported even modest steps to control personnel costs.
Thornberry and colleagues succeeded in blocking the amendment. But he said, "There is bipartisan support for virtually everything" Smith had argued. Thornberry joined him in warning the full committee to stop any change to curb personnel costs, clean up the defense acquisition system, eliminate excess overhead and cut a bloated civilian workforce.
"If we don't make those reforms, we are going to be in a situation, before too long where we can buy one airplane every other year," he said.
"That is our job, to face the realities that the gentlemen from Washington was just describing," Thornberry said. Few decisions should be left to a "take-it-or-leave-it" plan from a commission, and not something as "fundamental to this committee's jurisdiction&as military pay and benefits."
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), chairman of the personnel subcommittee, stayed silent through the criticism. Wilson's partner in defending personnel accounts against even modest trims, the ranking Rep. Susan Davis (D-Calif.), agreed with Thornberry's warnings that some changes are needed.
But Davis said the armed services committee shouldn't lead on this when military families and retirees are telling her that compensation reforms should occur only as part of a broader effort to control federal spending.
"How are we going to bring the entire country in line so we don't put this issue on the backs of the men and women who serve our country," Davis asked colleagues.
Cooper sounded unimpressed and he praised Speier for "facing up to these important issues. Every member of this committee [has] got to start taking responsibility. And right now, we're not."
He has seen only "baby steps" to control personnel costs over 10 years, Cooper said. The result is an "astonishing" and "growing consensus in [defense] think tanks -- left and right and middle -- that unless we face up to these issues relatively soon, we are endangering our national security."
Speier's approach, to take Congress out of the process of curbing compensation "is flawed," Cooper agreed, "but it may be necessary."
Cooper's reference to defense analysts was not arbitrary. Two days before markup, 25 prominent think-tank personalities signed a joint letter to House and Senate defense committee leaders urging that they act to get budgets back in balance by closing excess bases, doing a hard scrub on the defense civilian workforce and reforming military compensation. If these issues aren't addressed, the letter argues, "they will gradually consume the defense budget from within."
Military associations counter that sounding an alarm on personnel cost growth since 2001 distorts true gains because military pay by that year had fallen far below civilian peers, and lifetime health benefits promised to older generations of retirees had all but disappeared -- until Congress passed TRICARE for Life and war sparked a decade-long climb in pay and benefits.

General Thomas Sidney Jesup commanded military operations against the Seminoles in Florida during the early stages of the conflict now known as the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). The Second Seminole War was the longest and costliest Indian War in United States history. Jesup's field diary, available on Florida Memory, contains his perspective on the war from October 1, 1836, to May 30, 1837. This series of blog posts places significant entries from the Jesup diary in the context of the Seminole Wars and the history of Anglo-American Indian-African relations in the Southeast. Below is the eighth and final post in the series.
Thomas Sidney Jesup left Florida in 1838. The mood of many Americans had turned against the General following the dubious capture of Osceola under a white flag of truce in October 1837. Northern politicians and abolitionists were especially critical of Jesup, particularly vocal opponents of Indian Removal. The time had long passed since Native Americans dominated the New England frontier, and northern politicians did not sympathize with their Southern counterparts.
Abolitionists, on the other hand, based their objections on the existence of slavery in the Southern states. They saw the Seminole Wars as more of a slave rebellion than anything else. Based on statements made early in the war, Jesup tended to agree. Abolitionists argued that if slavery did not exist there would be no runaway slaves, and hence, no Seminole Wars. Perhaps the best known abolitionist tract on the Seminole Wars is Joshua R. Giddings, The Exiles of Florida (1858).
Zachary Taylor assumed command of U.S. troops in Florida following Jesup's departure. He was the next in line of a succession of officers that attempted to bring about a conclusion to the war, but it was not until 1842 that the conflict came to an end. Unlike other wars in U.S. history, there was neither a decisive battle, nor a detailed treaty that ended the Seminole Wars. The U.S. Army simply decided to stop pursuing the enemy. Most Seminoles had relocated to the deep recesses of the Everglades, and the troops lost the desire and the political backing to follow. By 1842, the government estimated that no more than 500 Seminoles remained in Florida.
Jesup would have welcomed the end of the war. Shortly after being relieved of his command in Florida, Jesup lobbied on behalf of the Seminoles to allow them to remain in South Florida. He concluded that the war did little good opening up new lands for settlement, as the area south of Lake Okeechobee was considered nothing more than an expansive, malarial swamp. The aftermath of the battles of Okeechobee and Loxahatchee had significantly reduced the number of Black Seminoles in Florida and thereafter escaped slaves ceased to be the primary concern of the U.S. Army.
However, tensions between the Americans and the Seminoles did not end in 1842. Another war nearly broke out in the late 1840s and, in 1855, a surveying team destroyed property at Billy Bowlegs' camp in the Big Cypress Swamp. Bowlegs retaliated and thereafter began the Third Seminole War, which lasted until 1858. The war ended when Bowlegs agreed to surrender and emigrate with his people to the Indian Country west of the Mississippi River. When the steamboat Grey Cloud embarked from Tampa on May 8, 1858, it marked the last forced removal of Seminoles from Florida.
In the early 1880s, government officials attempted the first census of the Seminoles since the end of the third war. Two different enumerators found 208 and 296 Seminoles in Florida, respectively. It is likely that others, understandably suspicious of the government, hid from the census takers. In any case, the Seminole population in Florida had been reduced from approximately 5,000 to less than 300 as a result of forced removal and warfare.
The Seminole population recovered over the next several decades. They developed innovative means of adjusting to the new environmental realities of life in South Florida. The animal hide trade of the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought relative prosperity to Seminole families. For example, through the acquisition of sewing machines during the hide trade, Seminoles created the vivid patchwork clothing styles now synonymous with their culture. Patchwork designs are just one example of the new traditions invented by Florida Indians following the trauma of the Seminole Wars.
Life was certainly not easy for the Seminoles who remained in South Florida. The collapse of the hide trade impoverished Seminole communities from the 1920s until the emergence of income from casino gaming in the 1980s. The few bright spots for the Seminoles during their years of want were federally funded cattle, education, and health programs.
The present-day association of Seminoles with casino gaming has obscured the long and difficult history experienced by these people. The story told in this series on the Jesup's field diary is certainly one of the darkest chapters in Seminole history. Nevertheless, the diary and the larger context in which it was produced have much to tell us about the changing nature of Anglo-American Indian-African relations, and the important place of the Seminole Wars in United States history.

Despite a 7.7 per cent drop in telco revenue, Macquarie Telecom firmly has its sights on the business end of the market for the National Broadband Network (NBN).
Macquarie Telecom released its full-year results for 2012 this morning, reporting mixed results.
While it stated strict cost control and automation has helped to improve margins in the telco business, telco revenue still recorded a 7.7 per cent drop to $160.3 million due to increasing competition in the fixed to mobile and data substitution market and Vodafone network issues in fiscal 2011.
However, capturing the business market for the NBN could provide a saviour for Macquarie Telecom's falling telco revenues.
Chris Greig, group executive of Macquarie Telecom's telco business, told Computerworld Australia it plans to bring NBN business plans to the market in October this year.
While the company is still working out the finer details of what its plans will comprise, he said existing business clients have already shown interest in switching onto the NBN once it is available.
"People don't buy the NBN for the pleasure of buying the NBN and we sense there's a perfect storm going on between the rollout of the NBN and the increased digital economy and the need for hosting-type services and a growing mobility message. It's really in the transaction of those three elements that Macquarie is going to be playing," Greig said.
"I think most of the debate on the NBN has been fixed line on the left and mobile on the right, but in fact they will converge at some point in time and people will want access to telecommunication using both of those technologies, so it's important to be in both camps."
Macquarie Telecom will be targeting mid- to large-sized businesses – companies that have a higher requirement for IT and telecommunications, but may not have large IT departments to aid with the transition to the NBN.
Instead, Greig said Macquarie Telecom will be 'hand-holding' companies through the switchover and project manage the process from their existing infrastructure to the NBN.
He said so far companies are considering two options for the migration to the NBN. "There are some customers who have said, 'I want to wait for the whole NBN to roll out across my sites and then I'll do one project'. Then there are a number of others who have said, 'I want to plan to roll it out as it comes through in my territory'," he said.
"One of the risks is that they're going to be in some sort of project management for a fair amount of time because as it rolls out … We're testing that out now as an industry to make sure it's not too painful. Certainly there is an expectation that once the NBN goes down a certain part of the country, they will migrate existing services."
Macquarie Telecom today recorded a net profit after tax (NPAT) increase of 10.6 per cent to $19.6 million for the FY2012, with NPAT steadily increasing since 2009 when it recorded a $6.1 million NPAT; $10.4 million in 2010; and $17.7 million in 2011.
However, revenue at the company has been falling since 2009. In FY2012, revenue dropped 3.8 per cent to $218.9 million. This compares to $241.6 million in 2009; $236 million in 2010; and $227.5 million in 2011.
Macquarie Telecom also spent $51.9 million on capital expenditure, including $27.0 million on the construction of the Intellicentre 2 data centre, $7.0 million on software implementation and development for data centre networking and $17.9 million on business-as-usual expenses.

"Chapter I.—The apostles did not commence to preach the Gospel, or to place anything on record until they were endowed with the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit. They preached one God alone, Maker of heaven and earth.
We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith. For it is unlawful to assert that they preached before they possessed "perfect knowledge," as some do even venture to say, boasting themselves as improvers of the apostles. For, after our Lord rose from the dead, [the apostles] were invested with power from on high when the Holy Spirit came down [upon them], were filled from all [His gifts], and had perfect knowledge: they departed to the ends of the earth, preaching the glad tidings of the good things [sent] from God to us, and proclaiming the peace of heaven to men, who indeed do all equally and individually possess the Gospel of God. Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter. Luke also, the companion of Paul, recorded in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards, John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon His breast, did himself publish a Gospel during his residence at Ephesus in Asia.
2. These have all declared to us that there is one God, Creator of heaven and earth, announced by the law and the prophets; and one Christ the Son of God. If any one do not agree to these truths, he despises the companions of the Lord; nay more, he despises Christ Himself the Lord; yea, he despises the Father also, and stands self-condemned, resisting and opposing his own salvation, as is the case with all heretics.
Chapter II.—The heretics follow neither Scripture nor tradition.
When, however, they are confuted from the Scriptures, they turn round and accuse these same Scriptures, as if they were not correct, nor of authority, and [assert] that they are ambiguous, and that the truth cannot be extracted from them by those who are ignorant of tradition. For [they allege] that the truth was not delivered by means of written documents, but vivâ voce: wherefore also Paul declared, "But we speak wisdom among those that are perfect, but not the wisdom of this world." And this wisdom each one of them alleges to be the fiction of his own inventing, forsooth; so that, according to their idea, the truth properly resides at one time in Valentinus, at another in Marcion, at another in Cerinthus, then afterwards in Basilides, or has even been indifferently in any other opponent, who could speak nothing pertaining to salvation. For every one of these men, being altogether of a perverse disposition, depraving the system of truth, is not ashamed to preach himself." – Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book III: Chapter 1 & 2, 2nd Century.

Cheaper Commutes Could Help Citi Bikes go All-City
Rep. Crowley pushes for pre-tax commuter benefits for bike share users.
Rep. Joe Crowley thinks he has a way to get Citi Bike to expand into part of his central Queens district. He's introducing a bill in the House to make bike share riders eligible for pre-tax commuter benefits. It would effectively lower the price of a Citi Bike yearly pass - and then, Crowley thinks, supply and demand would take hold.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #511
From Psalm 6
No longer, Lord despise me,
Nor in thy wrath chastise me,
Thy mercy I implore.
How long thine anger cherish?
Consumed thereby I perish;
My soul is troubled sore.
To me, O Lord, returning,
Save thou, with pity yearning.
Shall death thy mem'ry keep?
Or shall the grave confess thee?
Or I give thanks and bless thee,
While day and night I weep?
The Lord will ever hear me,
And when I pray be near me,
To put my foes to shame;
Turned back, no more to grieve me,
They suddenly shall leave me.
All glory to his Name!

Seal Rocks
when you drive into seal rocks you will know what all the fuss is about – the view is breathtaking
Seal Rocks is a small, sleepy and isolated fishing village in the middle of the Great Lakes coastline. Its fame rests largely on the beautiful Sugarloaf Point lighthouse and the sense of isolation it enjoys.
Seal Rocks has a unique warm inviting atmosphere. The village is one of the few remaining coastal villages to have avoided major development, so you will experience a truly relaxing and uninterrupted stay. Here you are a stranger only once and you'll soon be part of the Seal Rocks family.
Situated on the edge of the Pacific Ocean there are beach options to suit all and the diving is not to be missed as it is one of the few places to see a grey nurse shark. The well known lighthouse is a short walk from the village. It is a brilliant spot to sit and watch the whales passing by and soak up the amazing view!

DeLand mom goes back to school, opens Dally in the Alley American Bistro.
About 20 years ago as a concerned wife and mother, Melanie Luke Perryman was part of a group that approached the DeLand City Commission to do something about a seedy alley in which downtown bar patrons loitered — and worse— behind her husband's Woodland Boulevard workplace.
"We had three very small children at the time, and Frank's office was located in that block and his back stairs were often being used late at night and I would not use the back stairs at all because of this. I was quoted (in a local newspaper) as claiming that I did not 'dally in the alley' as it was not a friendly environment and needed cleaning up," she recalled.
That part of the city and Melanie Perryman have since experienced metamorphoses. The once-rundown row of sand-brick warehouses has been transformed into Artisan Alley, a trendy district for studios and shops. Perryman — with her first career of rearing children to adulthood having run its course — graduated from culinary school at Daytona State College last year and has become a chef.
Earlier this year while she and her husband were scouting for a DeLand location at which to open a restaurant, they encountered a coincidence that made it easy for them to settle not only on a place but also on a name. The commercial realty firm to which the Perrymans turned in their search for a space just happened to be the landlord that revitalized the alley; and the company president/leasing manager with whom they were dealing just happened to be the reporter who had captured Melanie's quote decades ago.
"It was divine providence ...," Melanie said. "This time I would Dally in the Alley and it was meant to be so."
Dally in the Alley American Bistro opened in Artisan Alley in early September. Perryman, who was born in Daytona Beach and has lived in DeLand since she was a first-grader, recently shared with The News-Journal some details of her story and the recipe for her signature dish.
Name: Melanie Luke Perryman
Restaurant: Dally in the Alley American Bistro
Title: chef
Q: What were you doing before you decided to go to culinary school?
I was just doing my thing. Wife, mother, community volunteer; just your average mom who happened to be a super foodie and really liked to cook.
Q: But you were doing some cooking professionally along the way, right?
I catered my first dinner party at 17 and I have never looked back. I was hooked! I loved preparing elaborate meals for people. I have dabbled since then and when my daughter started college I had her hold my hand as I waited to take the entrance exam at Daytona State College. I loved being in school again. I value my experience at Daytona State and I have tremendous respect for the instructors in the culinary school. I am a product of Chef (David) Weir, Chef (Jeff) Conklin and Chef Costa (Magoulas, culinary school dean) and that I am proud of.
Q: Have you always wanted to open your own restaurant? Why?
Yes, for a very long time I have dreamed of having my own place. My grandmother had The Corner Kitchen in Daytona in the '70s and I fell in love back then playing with the table setups.
Q: Who or what influenced you to become a chef?
My grandmother instilled in me the love of cooking: She retired from cooking at age 87 or was it 89? She loved doing for people and I assisted her as much as I could during that time because I did not want her down in the kitchen alone. She was tireless, is tireless and can be dogged in her persistence and will run circles around most people in the kitchen. She did not need the title of chef. She had her own place and it was successful. That was enough for her.
As for influencing me to become a chef, I knew that in order for me to have my own place, in today's food conscience, food network worshiping, blog crazy world we live in, I needed to go back to school.
Every cookbook I have ever read has influenced me in some manner. Every place I have eaten has colored my opinion. My family has been behind me every step of the way and they are all a reflection of what has influenced my journey as a chef.
Q: How would you describe your style of cooking?
I love cuisine. I love fresh produce and fresh ingredients. It is the ingredients that make me excited. I like to make things from scratch. For instance, we don't have ketchup or mayo at Dally, we make all our own aiolis or sauces. We are also without a microwave. We do things the old-fashioned way. It is truly slow food.
We do have a Southern bent to our menu. We are doing traditional favorites with a healthier flair. I am very health conscious. I find most processed foods deplorable. They are loaded with salt and preservatives. We do everything fresh.
Q: What is your "signature dish"?
I would have to say the Caribbean Surf & Turf, a jerk-rubbed pulled pork that is braised all day and grilled jumbo shrimp.

WALTHAM, Mass. – The visiting Washington University women's basketball team, ranked ninth in the nation by D3Hoops.com, outscored host Brandeis University 21-1 over the first 5:18 and 30-3 over the first 9:24 as the Bears defeated the Judges, 66-36, in a University Athletic Association contest in Red Auerbach Arena. The Bears improve to 13-3 (4-1 UAA), while the Judges, who lost their second-straight game against a ranked opponent, fall to 9-7 (1-4 UAA).
The Judges hit just two shots over the first nine-plus minutes, going 1-for-10 from the floor and 1-for-2 from the line, while committing seven turnovers. Meanwhile, led by senior Kathryn Berger (Livonia, Mich./Ladywood), WashU scorched the nets to open up their 20-point lead. The Bears connected on seven of their first eight shots, including six of seven from beyond the arc. Berger had five of those seven buckets and four of the trifectas, giving her 14 points just over five minutes into the game, a mark the Judges wouldn't hit until 17 seconds remained in the first half.
After Berger's hot streak subsided, WashU sophomore Kristin Anda (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield) scored 10 points in the next stage of the half, including a jumper at the 10:46 mark that made the game 30-3 in favor of the Bears. The lead extended to as many as 32 points before late hoops by Brandeis's Morgan Kendrew (Cotuit, Mass./Barnstable) and Anda made the score 42-14 at the break. The Judges played improved defense in the second half, but were unable to get anything going on the offensive end, holding the Bears to 24 points and 37 percent shooting after a 53.3 percent performance in the first half.
For the game, Brandeis was led by rookie Julia Scanlon (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris), who had nine points on 4-of-8 from the floor with a 3-pointer. Fourteen of the 15 active players on the Brandeis roster had a rebound, led by four each from Scanlon, senior Mia DePalo (Rumson, N.J/Red Bank Catholic) and rookie Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomeraug).
For Washington, Berger finished with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor, 4-of-8 from 3-point range. Anda finished with 10 points on 5-of-9 from the field. Junior Dani Hoover (Junction City, Kan./Junction City) and senior Monika Monson (So. Milwaukee, Wis./So. Milwaukee) tied for game-high with four rebounds, while Hoover's older sister Alex led all players with three assists. The Bears had 17 assists on their 26 buckets, with nine different players recording helpers.
Brandeis is next in action next Friday night when they host Emory University in a UAA contest at 6 p.m. The Bears take on Carnegie Mellon University at the same time in St. Louis.

Sodium PCA
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 9, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA is derived from a naturally existing amino acid proline in human skin. PCA means pyrolidone carbonic acid, an ingredient in numerous cosmetic products. PCA also contains antioxidants that can fight free radicals, which cause skin aging. It is also known as 5-OXO-DL-Proline, Monosodium salt, PCA Soda, DL-Proline, and Sodium 5-OXO-L-Prolinate.
It is regarded as hygroscopic with the capacity to absorb moisture from the air, and has high water absorption qualities. Sodium PCA has the ability to bind moisture to cells, and hold a number of its weight in water. It can deliver moisture to the skin and the hair.
Sodium PCA is a substance that is approved by CIR with concentration limits of 4%.
History and Origin
Sodium PCA is an integral component of the human skin that is believed to be responsible in the maintenance and absorption of moisture in the skin.
However, these humectants and emollient properties is something that people wanted to be enhanced that led to the research and studies of producing the substance from other source with similar properties.
Studies have shown that Sodium PCA can be derived from fruits, plants, vegetables, and grass. It can also be derived from coconut oil. The process to attain Sodium PCA is through fermentation of sugar or starches present in the natural sources.
Ancient Uses
The ancient Egyptians used fine oils from vegetable, fruits, and plants to enhance the moisture in their skin. Without knowing, sodium PCA is already contained in these natural sources that give radiance to their skin and maintain youth and health to their body.
Ancient Egyptians were also known for using cosmetics and natural hair tonics from plants for beauty and making their hair healthy. These natural materials they use contain sodium PCA, which is non-toxic and natural.
Modern Uses
Sodium PCA is used as an emollient or humectants in hair and skin conditioning agents, skin-conditioning and moisturizers, and antistatic-skin conditioning. It is also used as an ingredient in hair sprays, shampoos, skin fresheners, permanent waves, and other hair and skin care products.
Hair care products include hair dyes, hair conditioners, relaxers, and shampoos. It is also used in nail products such as nail polish, cuticle creams, and ointments.
Sodium PCA is one of the beneficial ingredients for manufacturing cosmetics such as pressed powder, lipsticks, eye-shadows and blush-on.
Side Effects
Sodium PCA is considered a low hazard ingredient by CIR. The only concern is the possible contamination of nitrosamine, which is a known toxin. However, according to CIR, nitrosamine should just be avoided.
Sodium PCA did not show any irritation to the eyes and skin at 50% concentration. There was no evidence of photoxicity, comedogenicity or sensitization. It is not genotoxic.
Sodium PCA is commonly used in skin care products such as anti-aging creams. Users of products that contain sodium PCA did not experience any severe reaction, which makes it safe to use. However, it is still recommended that for those who have sensitive skin to consult their doctor before using the product with sodium PCA.

Anyone catch the Raid 2?
Saw it yesterday. Incredible (and BLOODY) fight scenes. If it's in theaters in my neck of the woods, it's probably findable. Sequel to the Raid: Redemption, another amazingly choreographed actioner that the latest Judge Dredd pretty much ripped off storywise.

Join Michael Winslow—the noise-making star from Police Academy—on a cursory run through The History of Videogame SFX. Indeed the video is far from exhaustive, going from the blips of Pong (1972) to those of Portal (2007) without much in between: just a few other arcade legends and shooters. All sounds like a bunch of noise to me, but it's still a lot of fun!

Posted by Clay Bavor, Product Management Director, Google Apps
On the Google Apps team, we wake up every day excited to work on products that are powering a fundamental shift in business technologies. Whole companies are moving into the cloud, where they rely on the same web-based applications their employees use at home: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Drive. We call this trend "going Google."
As part of this trend, we're witnessing how web-based collaboration and social tools have dramatically changed the way people connect. Whether you're across the street or across the world, you can hold face-to-face meetings, share updates with colleagues and friends and work on a presentation together in real time. Like Google Apps, we think Google+ can help colleagues collaborate more easily and get things done—and get to know each other along the way.
So today we're launching an initial set of Google+ features designed specifically for businesses, and we're excited to move into a full preview mode for Apps customers. During this preview period, organizations that have gone Google will be able to use the business features of Google+ for free through the end of 2013 while we continue to add more features and administrative controls designed for organizations.
For the past few months, pilot customers like Kaplan and Banshee Wines have been using Google+ to help employees engage and connect with each other. We've worked hard to incorporate early feedback from pilot customers into our plans, and we're thrilled to begin offering Google+ features tailored to organizations.
Private sharing for your organization
Google Apps users now have more control over the content they post to Google+. When you create a post you can mark it as restricted. Restricted posts are private to your organization and can never be re-shared with anyone outside. At the same time, when you create a post, you have the flexibility to share it with specific partners or colleagues outside the organization as well if you choose.
Video meetings integrated with Gmail, Calendar and Docs
When you're on Google Apps, holding a face-to-face meeting with colleagues or clients around the world doesn't require coordinated travel schedules or expensive video conferencing technology. All you need is a device with a camera and an internet connection. Hangouts lets up to 10 people join a video meeting from their laptop, phone or tablet.
As we announced in July, people can now join a multi-way video chat, powered by Hangouts, directly from Gmail. They can also open a Google doc in a hangout meeting, making it easy for colleagues to write or edit a document together from anywhere. And starting today, users can also add a hangout to a Calendar event, allowing attendees to join the meeting directly from the invite or Calendar entry.
Administrative Controls
To help make sure users are sharing only with the people they intend, administrators can now set company-wide defaults for post restrictions. They can also enable restricted Hangouts to facilitate private meetings within the company.
Just the Beginning
These latest business features for Google+, which will be rolling out throughout the day, are just a start. We have a lot more planned for the coming months, including a mobile version of Google+ for enterprise users and more administrative controls.
Every day, more companies are going Google. We're excited to help them take advantage of modern, web-based tools and give their employees new ways to connect and collaborate. If you're a Google Apps customer, we encourage you to bring Google+ to work today.

Meet the Coal Miner's Daughter Taking on Joe Manchin for Senate in West Virginia
Paula Jean Swearengin supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. Now she's challenging Big Coal and the Senate's most conservative Democrat.
Our incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, have been coal industry servants. They haven't been servants for the people and definitely haven't been friends of coal miners.
On Dec. 27, 2017, self-professed "hillbilly" Paula Jean Swearengin flew from her hometown of West Virginia to the posh enclave of Beverly Hills, Calif., to participate in a forum of reform-minded women running for Congress. But Swearengin, who is running in the Democratic primary for West Virginia Senate against incumbent Joe Manchin, has more in common with feisty fictional Southern union organizer Norma Rae than with the Clampetts of "Beverly Hillbillies."
Unlike the oil rich Clampetts who struck "black gold" on their land, Swearengin is critical of the energy industry, especially coal, which she told the forum's standing room-only crowd had led to her relatives' deaths by way of black lung disease.
"I saw my grandfather suffocate to death," thundered the 43-year-old single mother of four. "I'm not going to worship a black rock."
The forum, billed as a "Nearly New Year's Revolution Party," was organized by the Justice Democrats, a federal political action committee which has endorsed 51 Senate and House candidates, including Swearengin, who all oppose the Democratic Party's corporate wing and have pledged not to take donations from corporations and SuperPACs.
In the May 8 primary, Swearengin will go up against Manchin, a conservative Democrat and longtime ally of the coal industry who voted for Scott Pruitt, President Trump's pick to head the EPA, and supported leaving the Paris Climate Treaty. Swearengin, meanwhile, is running on a platform of single-payer healthcare, a $15 minimum wage, free public college tuition and an end to fracking and mountaintop removal.
In this candid conversation, Swearengin, discusses her dark horse candidacy, her views on a Green New Deal, socialism, economic justice and much more.
Tell us about your background?
I was born in Mullens, West Virginia, and lived in a community called Iroquois in Appalachia. We faced heavy pollution. Our water came from the Sweeney Watershed, which meant we essentially drank acid mine drainage. The water was orange with a blue and purple film. I thought my hair was red or orange, I didn't know I was a brunette until we moved away and had clean water.
We had a slate dump that continually burned above the community that also caused air pollution, like a sulfur smell. When I was 12, my stepdad got laid off in the coal mines and we moved to Yadkinville, North Carolina. There, my stepdad worked in a furniture factory and my mother in a nursing home.
My stepdad and my dad had both worked in the coal mines. My grandfather was a United Mine Workers of America miner. He worked for 45 years in the coal mines and most of my uncles worked in them too. My grandfather suffocated of black lung. My stepdad had black lung, heart disease, and open heart surgery. My dad passed away in 2005. He had black lung and lung cancer. Most of my uncles have black lung.
How's your health?
I have diverticulitis. Most of my family have stomach issues because of the water we drank when we were little. Lots of people have gastrointestinal issues in Appalachian coal communities. When I was little I had asthma. My mother would take me and my brothers and sisters to the doctor all the time. When we moved to North Carolina our health did get better but since I am getting older my health has declined.
How do you react to being called a "hillbilly"?
It doesn't bother me to be called a "hillbilly" because I lived in the hills. I grew up in the hills and the mountains are my home. We have had the stigma where people said Appalachians don't have no teeth, no shoes, no brains. But Appalachians are some of the greatest people in the world.
How did you become an activist?
I started my path in activism after my grandfather got sick with black lung. I moved to Lester, West Virginia, where they were closing the local school because of funny smells. An eight-year-old neighbor named Bethany was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer.
Later, when I found out about mountaintop removal, people were still dealing with the same kind of water issues I had growing up. When they blew up the mountaintops they buried many rivers and streams in West Virginia. When they disturbed the rocks it created silica dust. So now, not only do people have to worry about silicosis in underground mines, but silica dust is actually going into the lungs of our children. It's been proven there's a high rate of birth defects and other health issues.
I got angry and active. People labeled me an "environmental activist," but I saw myself as a social and economic justice activist. I worked with the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and the Keepers of the Mountain Foundation. I spoke to the U.N., I went around the country speaking at rallies, at colleges, to anybody who'd hear us, trying to get some help for West Virginia, because our representatives weren't hearing us. Democrat Jim Justice is one of the biggest polluting coal barons and now he's our governor.
That started my path running for office.
In March 2017, I attended a town hall held by Manchin. I talked about my family dying, the water pollution, the air pollution, telling him we wanted clean and safe jobs and I didn't feel like we should have to kill each other to prosper here. And Manchin told me "We're gonna agree to disagree."
So that says to me that despite the service our men and women went through in the coal industry, to Manchin it didn't matter whether their children and grandchildren had clean air or water. Our incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, have been coal industry servants. They haven't been servants for the people and definitely haven't been friends of coal miners.
The reason I decided to run for Senate is that most Democrats and Republicans are in bed with industry. Manchin's top donor has been coal; his second top donor is Mylan Pharmaceutical [known for the price hike scandal of EpiPen, used for emergency treatment of life-threatening allergic reactions] and his daughter [Heather Bresch] is Mylan's CEO.
Attorney General Patrick Morrissey is on the ticket for the Senate. He's been a lobbyist for a pharmaceutical company and his wife is still a lobbyist.
The biggest disgrace about the West Virginia Senate race is Don Blankenship, former CEO of Massey Energy. In 2010, 29 miners died in his mine due to a methane explosion. I've been fighting Massey Energy for years because they don't adhere to regulations, not only for miners' safety but for the water and health of the community. Blankenship was indicted, put in jail and is still on probation. He's actually on the ballot now as a Republican for the Senate.
How do you differ from Sen. Manchin and other establishment Democrats?
My campaign is people-funded, I will not take corporate money or lobbyists' money. The average donation I receive is about $14 or $15. So far we have raised almost $200,000, and none of that comes from the coal industry.
Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary in West Virginia. Did you support him?
Absolutely. Bernie Sanders is the only politician who actually cared about West Virginia. He came up here for a town hall after he lost the primary to highlight the poverty here. I actually got to sit down and talk with him. I thought, "This man really cares."
I walked up to him and asked him for a few minutes of his time. I walked to the back of the auditorium and to the front with him while he talked to the people and the media and when we got to the front he made me cry. Because he stopped everything, he put his arms out and said, "Wait a minute. I promised this woman I'd talk with her."
Bernie won all of West Virginia's 55 counties in the primary. Most of the superdelegates—Manchin and the establishment Democrats—voted against him. I don't think there's a lot a senator from Vermont can do for us unless our incumbents get out of bed with the corporate donors. But he heard me. And that's the first time in all my years I've ever seen a senator care that much.
That kind of led me to my path to office, too. It made me realize that if we don't try to do something with the political structure here and get rid of the corruption, people are going to continue to die.
If West Virginians don't unite, stand up, and work for all of us on a local and federal level, our children are not going to have a future here. We're treated like we're collateral damage. Our land, heritage and health have been destroyed by these companies.
Bernie is a democratic socialist. Are you?
I don't know what kind of label I have. I'm just a West Virginian, I'm mad and I'm trying to fight back. The social programs Bernie Sanders talks about I totally agree with 100%. I stand behind Medicare for All. West Virginia is one of the sickest, poorest states in the nation. As much as this state has sacrificed to power this nation we certainly deserve healthcare.
Do you support moving the economy towards a Green New Deal with wind, solar and other alternative energy sources?
I have a broad vision. We can mix renewables, we can manufacture and we can fully legalize cannabis. We can have hydropower, biofuels, there's all kinds of investments we need. If we're going to have a future for our children it has to be diverse and fair and everybody has to earn a living wage. If we do not invest in a diverse economic infrastructure then we'll be stuck with the same destructive patterns we've had for decades.
Are you inspired by the so-called "Blue Wave" of Democratic electoral victories in Virginia and Alabama?
I am. But if we're going to stand up as Democrats we need to stand for the democratic values behind the party. Our Democratic Party here gets behind incumbents like Jim Justice and Joe Manchin that don't stand behind the values of the Democratic Party.
The people I've met through my path in activism, we're trying to bring real people into a leadership role because we are real Americans and know the true pain of having to worry about our children. And there's no force like a mother trying to protect her child. That's what we need in leadership: women. We're going to make the right decisions for everyone.
You're very critical of the Democratic Party establishment. Why did you decide to run as a Democrat instead of as a Third Party or independent candidate?
I want to bring democracy back to the Democratic Party. Like the miners of Blair Mountain, Joe Hill and Mother Jones. We have fought so many labor struggles and won. This nation and state deserve true democracy.
I am a West Virginian. We all struggle and are going to fight like hell. I believe a new West Virginia is being born.

As the More is More Mom®, I'm always up for more fun with family and friends. We've barely scratched the surface of our Safari Cocktail and Appetizer Party. You may recall that the stage is all set to greet our guests with a cool and refreshing beverage (detailed 7/28/10).
As for the menu, the warm weather beckoned a selection of delicious, cold appetizers;
- Prosciutto Wrapped Mango Slices (recipe revealed 7-28-10)
- Shrimp Cocktail in a tangy homemade sauce
- Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Spears
- Greek Salsa and Pita Chips
The beauty of all the recipes that I am sharing with you today is that they are largely prepared in advance, leaving a little bit of assembly just before your first guest arrives.
Nothing says over the top indulgence better than Shrimp Cocktail (except maybe caviar, but who really wants to eat all of those little fish eggs anyway?) served in an elegant martini glass. Now that's instant glamour.
Shrimp Cocktail in a tangy homemade sauce:
To serve 6;
2 lbs cooked peeled shrimp, tails cut off and chopped into chunks (any size will do)
½ – 1 lb cooked peeled Jumbo shrimp. We're going to artfully arrange a few tails over the rim of the glass for each guest. Beautiful!
Note: For the sake of simplicity and my sanity, I defrost my shrimp the evening before I am going to serve it. I store them in a Ziploc Baggie, lined with a paper towel (I prefer Bounty, the quicker picker upper. This is not a paid advertisement, darn it. I just so happen to be fan!). Rarely do I serve shrimp cocktail individually. As a rule I serve it in a silver platter that I toss in the freezer before the party to help the shrimpies stay nice and cold, but not soggy as they tend to get when directly served on ice.
Tangy Sauce;
In a mix bowl, lightly whip;
4 Tbsp heavy cream
Mix in;
4 Tbsp mayonnaise (am I a looser for using Hellman's when I could have made it from scratch? I like to think that I am being practical. As it is, I could be using store bought cocktails sauce!)
4 Tbsp ketchup (now you know it's good)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Juice of one lemon…..which in my mind translates to a few tablespoons of bottled real lemon juice
Add more lemon juice as needed to make the sauce super tangy.
Stir in the chopped shrimp. Transfer to a container with a lid if you are leaving it in the refrigerator over night.
To Assemble;
1 head of Romaine lettuce, rough chopped (or any other hearty, crisp lettuce)
Fill each glass about 1/3 of the way with the lettuce.
Spoon the shrimp mixture over the lettuce, evenly amongst the 6 glasses.
Drape a few jumbo shrimp over the side of each martini glass.
For maximum impact, I placed all 6 martini glasses on a leopard tray.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Spears:
I order a grilled chicken Caesar salad at nearly every establishment I patronize, so I'm kind of an expert. The individual spears were a party in your mouth! I tossed myself a little salad with the left over dressing a few days later and I'm telling you, there's not a Caesar salad out there that rivaled it…..
This recipe makes approximately 20 spears.
Grill, on medium heat;
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
Once the chicken cooled, I sliced each strip in half making it a more manageable serving size. As is my M.O., I placed the chicken in a Ziploc Baggie lined with a Bounty paper towel and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
The dressing was so tasty, you may want to double the recipe so you have more for later. In a bowl combine;
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3-4 cloves of garlic minced (there is nothing wrong with garlic, especially if we are all having it)
1 tsp anchovy paste (I don't care for anchovies, but the paste is essential to achieving that classic Caesar status)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (and maybe a splash more)
1 tsp dry mustard
Mix well and store in a bowl with a lid overnight.
To assemble;
2-3 heads of small romaine lettuce leaves. I used endive instead because it was the perfect size.
Separate the lettuce leaves.
Place 2 strips of grilled chicken in the leaf (it makes a nice little cradle)
Plop a dollop of dressing on top of the chicken
Garnish with shaved Parmesan (use your vegetable peeler to create perfect shavings)
If it floats your boat, top with capers.
Artfully arrange the spears on a platter and serve to the "oohs and ahs" of your guests.
Greek Salsa with Pita Chips:
The Mediterranean flavors are a welcome respite from your more traditional salsa.
In a medium bowl, combine;
2 cups of crumbled feta cheese (Costco sells huge containers of feta, of course, because everything is huge at Costco)
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
5 scallions, whites and greens, chopped
1 cucumber peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and rough chopped
½ cup fresh, flat leaf parsley chopped (fresh just tastes like summer)
2 Tbsp fresh oregano chopped (fresh oregano is so flavorful)
2 Tbsp fresh dill chopped (okay, I know, enough with the fresh, but is just tastes so FRESH)
1-2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/3 -1/2 cup of olive oil (add slowly to see how much you really need. You just want a very light coating)
Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours, but overnight is even better.
When you are ready to serve, transfer to a pretty bowl. I chose a lovely cut crystal to equal the formality of the martini glasses.
Serve with pita chips. I like Stacy's in the jumbo bag from Costco, though you could certainly toast your own. Instead of tossing the chips in a predictable bowl, I served them in a cheetah patterned planter (that I only use for food service). I like the shape and whimsy of the planter.
Should you have any salsa left over, you might enjoy it spooned over a grilled chicken or fish on another night.
I hope you have as much fun with this menu as we did. What could be better than more time with friends on a beautiful summer night with more delectable dishes, more laughs, more good times and more memories?

USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 18, 2013) – USA Volleyball has announced that it will play its 2013 FIVB World League home matches in the cities of Wichita, Kan., Tulsa, Okla., and Reno, Nev.
The FIVB World League is an elite annual men's volleyball competition in which the best teams in the world compete in pool play over seven weeks trying to qualify for the Final Round and a first-place prize of $1 million.
The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, ranked fifth in the world, will host Argentina on June 7-8 in Wichita at Charles Koch Arena; France on June 14-15 in Tulsa at the Tulsa Convention Center Arena and Bulgaria on June 28-29 in Reno at the Reno Events Center.
Wichita and Tulsa have both hosted World League matches in previous years. The World League matches in Reno, a first-time host, will be played in conjunction with the 2013 USA Volleyball Boys' Junior National Championships, which will be at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.
"USA Volleyball is pleased to be bringing World League volleyball back to the United States for the eighth-straight year," USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal said. "We have had great success with our past World League events in Wichita and Tulsa, and we are delighted to be returning. We are looking forward to our first year in Reno and giving the boys competing at our Junior Nationals a chance to see their heroes in action live."
Wichita hosted World League events in 2009 and 2010.
"We are very proud and excited to have Wichita selected as one of the three cities in the USA to host such a prestigious event," said Bob Hanson, president/CEO of the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. "These are some of the best athletes in the world and because of the $1 million prize, the play is extremely competitive and fierce. Anyone who has attended in previous years knows it is a must see event."
The World League visited Tulsa in 2011 when it played at the Reynolds Center. This year, the U.S. Men will play France at the Tulsa Convention Center.
"Tulsa couldn't be more excited to once again be hosting USA Volleyball," said Alex Alston, executive director of the Tulsa Sports Commission. "The FIVB World League is a great opportunity for Tulsans to enjoy top-tier international talent. Our community has shown great support for USAV events in the past through our premier facilities managed by SMG and strong attendance from the public. We have no doubt we'll see the same support for this tournament."
Teams competing at the USAV Boys' Junior Nationals will not have to go far to see the U.S. Men play Bulgaria at the Reno Events Center.
"Reno Tahoe USA is proud to be a part of this prestigious, international competition," said Christopher Baum, Reno Tahoe USA president and CEO. "We're looking forward to exciting matches between some of the world's best athletes and, while we're happy to welcome our friends from Bulgaria, we will most certainly be rooting for Team USA!"
Tickets for the Wichita matches are now on sale. Call 316-978-3267 or visit GoShockers.com.
Tickets for the Tulsa matches are scheduled to go on sale on March 28 at 10 a.m. CT. Tickets will be available online at bokcenter.com, Arby's Box Office, all Tickets.com outlets, or by calling 866-7-BOKCTR.

The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team won its pool in the 2012 World League and went on to finish second in the Final Round. The team won the World League Final Round in 2008 and finished third in 2007 and 1992.
For the first time ever, the 2013 FIVB World League will see an increase in the number of participants from 16 to 18 teams, divided into three groups of six in the preliminary round.
Pools A and B will feature the top 12 teams in the world, while pool C consists of the next best four in addition to Egypt and Japan. The finals will feature the top three teams from pools A and B, the winner of pool C and the host nation.
The U.S. Men's pool includes Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, France and Poland.

Hi All,I do not think either are Chippendale. The giveaway is the star base. Chippendale has a star in which the rays are of uneven length. I don't think the jug is a Davidson 283 jug either - The 283 is very similar to a chippendale jug, but with a star base in which the rays are of the same length.There were many many companies who made chippendale look alikes.RegardsChris

I have received several orders from you and they have been extremely comfortable and, on one occasion, a tad big on me! I haven't been able to say that since my teenage years! It is so nice to be able to buy correctly sized underwear from a company that truly understands their customers needs. Thank you in advance for my winter tights, I'm really looking forward to being able to wear a skirt in winter.
SamanthaAll Woman 180 Denier
Just wanted to say I got the tights and there amazing thank you so much your a life saver!! I can relax now and enjoy the party
JackieAll Woman 60 Denier
I think I first saw mention of you in a newspaper or magazine, so checked you out online. I ordered the wrong size the first time and you (or whoever I spoke to on the phone), were so very helpful and pleasant. Since then, I've had another order and this is my third one, it's heaven to have pants that cover so well and are so comfortable to wear.
LeanneAll Woman Cotton Knickers
you wanted to know how I heard about you, I just put in a search for 5xl tights and your website came up. It is the first time I have ever seen thigh size detailed so very well done for offering that level of detail. I often find the hip size I need but then find the thighs too narrow.
SandraAll Woman 20 Denier
I have had some briefs off you before and been delighted with them, it's so nice to have underwear that fits and feels comfortable. So many other knickers produced supposedly to fit outsize women, make no allowance for the different body shape of people who are beyond normal build.
JanAll Woman Seamless Knickers
I would just like to say how very impressed I am with your company and what you sell. I ordered tights from you recently and they are wonderful and also a bra the other day and wow what a quick delivery.
Anne MarieAll Woman Pull On Bra
I would like to thank you very much for your reviewing my order and suspecting I had ordered the wrong type of knickers. We discussed, and you have kindly corrected my mistake. I very much appreciate the customer care and thoughtfulness that went with my order. As always, I will continue to buy from Big Bloomers.
JennyAll Woman Cotton Knickers
I originally found you through Google. Lovely speaking to you this morning and thank you for being there, a marvellous company!
BerryAll Woman Pull On Bra
I have to tell you that I really enjoyed buying from you and that I really appreciated your way of doing business. Also your patience in getting me what I was after is admirable
