Have Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Gone Too Far (Or Big)?
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
According to a provocative, eye-opening, and artery-clogging story in the new, hip business culture magazine Portfolio, the folks at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's don't feel a similar need. If they had their way, we'd consume half-pound hamburgers topped with, among other things, a hot dog, early and often.
Consider the opening paragraph of the story:
It was a patriotic statement that went a bit too far afield: an attempt to create the "ultimate picnic burger." Called the Fourth of July Burger, it was tested last summer at seven locations by the West Coast fast-food chain Carl's Jr. and consisted of a huge beef patty topped with pickles, ketchup, mustard, potato chips, and a hot dog. Stacked high and loaded with fat and calories, it was the food equivalent of the national anthem played through a sousaphone, a perfect distillation of a peculiarly American form of balls-out, postmodern gluttony that, at least outwardly, we're all supposed to be ashamed of right now.
Though the Fourth of July Burger didn't fly, the Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger, 1,520 calories of beefy fat and meat, is a runaway (or perhaps a waddleaway) success. So is the 1,410-calorie Hardee's Monster Thickburger (pictured).
Have Carl's Jr. and Hardee's gone too far? Perhaps. According to the Portfolio story, the Double Six Dollar Burger has been pulled from all of the company's California locations because of a lawsuit alleging that it contains unacceptable amounts of a carcinogen commonly created by grilling meat. Carl's Jr. apparently intends to pull the Double Six in the rest of the country as well. Well, maybe they'll bring back the Fourth of July Burger with another name.

On the same day that MinnPost reported more than 77,200 tons of toxic chemicals were "released" by Minnesota companies, a group of businesses, environmentalists, non-governmental organizations, government officials and academics was launching an effort to create a "green chemistry" industry in the state.
The state's first Green Chemistry Forum, hosted Friday at the Humphrey Institute by the nonprofit Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), brought together about 200 participants, including scientists, entrepreneurs and longtime environmentalists.
The day-long conference focused on sharing successes and discussing hurdles in introducing low- or no-toxicity chemicals for industrial and commercial use in Minnesota.
One such effort, for example, came from Martha Hilton, who works at Golden Valley-based Segetis. She described how her company breaks down cellulose from corn cobs, wood fiber and other biomass sources to develop non-petroleum-based substitutes for a wide variety of chemical manufacturing processes.
Among other Minnesota companies highlighting their efforts were Cargill subsidiary Natureworks, 3M (which made the Environmental Protection Agency's 2009 list of top releaser of toxic chemicals) and Ecolab. Smaller entrepreneurial companies also were featured, including Georgia-based cleaning company Zep; Colorado bio-fuels company gevo; and Minneapolis-based earthclean, which makes environmentally friendly fire-suppressant systems.
One of the forum organizers, Tim Kapsner, works as senior research scientist for Aveda Corp. He described how an earlier effort to launch a bio-industry alliance in Minnesota foundered a few years ago but said that the timing now was right.
He cited growing public awareness of the need to address environmental sustainability in more fundamental ways, such as changing the way products are developed and manufactured through green chemistry. "Everybody is thinking about the fact that we have to think about that now," he said.
Kapsner was typical of other attendees I spoke with in his enthusiasm, saying the conference finally coming together "is like a newborn baby" with the attendees sharing "energy, connections, excitement around green chemistry … starting to make a difference."
Aveda, which promotes its use of natural botanical ingredients in its cosmetics and beauty products, takes great pride in sourcing from local producers around the world. I asked the 17-year veteran of the Blaine-based cosmetics company if environmental sustainability is becoming an important element in corporate brands.
Kapsner cited Aveda's mission statement, "To care for the world …," http://www.aveda.com/aboutaveda/mission.tmpl from memory and said that for any company, the commitment to sustainable product design and development has to be "part of mission … not just a brand. The brand reflects what's in the product."
As an example, Kapsner pointed to Aveda's process for vetting new ingredients before they go into products. Its "mission alignment ingredient reviews" are intended to ensure they align with the company's mission. For example, they've replaced coconut oil from Asia with babassu oil produced by a certified organic cooperative in Brazil as a base for soaps and cleansers. The company invested in helping the co-op get organic certification, and it now sells its product to other companies as well as to Aveda.
What is Green Chemistry?
From the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry in Wilmington, Mass.:
Green Chemistry is a science that aims to reduce or eliminate the use and/or generation of hazardous substances in the design phase of materials development. It requires an inventive and interdisciplinary view of material and product design.
Green Chemistry follows the principle that it is better to consider waste prevention options during the design and development phase than to dispose or treat waste after a process or material has been developed. For a technology to be considered Green Chemistry, it must accomplish three things:
- It must be more environmentally benign than existing alternatives.
- It must be more economically viable than existing alternatives.
- It must be functionally equivalent to or outperform existing alternatives.
Green Chemistry presents industries with incredible opportunity for growth and competitive advantage. This is because there is currently a significant shortage of green technologies: we estimate that only 10% of current technologies are environmentally benign; another 35% could be made benign relatively easily. The remaining 65% have yet to be invented! Green Chemistry also creates cost savings: when hazardous materials are removed from materials and processes, all hazard-related costs are also removed, such as those associated with handling, transportation, disposal, and compliance.

Led by Prof Karl Herholz, researchers at the University of Manchester studied 44 healthy people, 40 people with Alzheimer's and 94 people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) taking part in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), a public-private partnership led by the National Institutes of Health in the US.
People with MCI experience problems with their thinking and memory, but not to an extent that interferes with daily life. Many people with MCI, but not all, go on to develop Alzheimer's, and being able to predict who will develop the disease is a key target for researchers.
The team at Manchester analysed the results of cognitive tests and PET scans – sophisticated brain scans that measure glucose metabolism, a marker of brain activity. They found that in people with MCI, PET scans taken at the start of the study showed greater impairment in those who went on to develop Alzheimer's than in those who didn't. They also found the scans were better for predicting who would develop Alzheimer's than cognitive tests, and could detect changes in brain function over a shorter time period.
It's hoped their findings, which are published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine today (2 August), could improve clinical trials by allowing researchers to test new treatments earlier, when they are likely to be most effective.
Prof Herholz, from the University of Manchester, said:
"Our findings show measuring brain activity could be a better way of detecting Alzheimer's in its earliest stages, and we hope this method could boost the search for new treatments to delay or prevent the disease. PET scans are increasingly being used in clinical trials of new drugs, and we expect this will eventually lead to shorter trials and faster progress.
Dementia can only be defeated through research, and I hope our study will bring us closer to reaching that goal."
Dr Simon Ridley, Head of Research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said:
"These exciting findings could give us a reliable way to predict the onset of Alzheimer's, which is crucial for allowing potential new drugs to be tested in the earliest stages of the disease. Research is making progress towards a treatment that could stop Alzheimer's in its tracks, but it's likely that any new treatments would need to be given early to have a beneficial effect.
We must now follow up this research to see whether PET scans could improve clinical trials and speed up progress. With 820,000 people affected by dementia in the UK today, and more than 4,000 people in Manchester alone, the need for research has never been more urgent.
The study received funding from Alzheimer's Research UK and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

Scientific Name
Duranta erecta L.
Duranta repens L.
Common Names
Brazilian sky flower, Brazilian skyflower, duranta, forget me not bush, forget me not tree, golden dew drop, golden dewdrop, golden dewdrop duranta, golden dewdrops, golden tears, pigeon berry, pigeon-berry, pigeonberry, sky flower, sky-flower, skyflower
Native to southern USA (i.e. Texas and southern Florida), Mexico, Central America (i.e. Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama), the Caribbean and South America (i.e. Surinam, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina and Paraguay).
A widely cultivated garden and hedge plant throughout the wetter and sub-humid regions of Australia. Several newer cultivars, which are thought to be less invasive, are still very popular in cultivation (e.g. Duranta erecta 'Sheena's Gold', Duranta erecta 'Geisha Girl', Duranta erecta 'Alba' and Duranta erecta 'Variegata').
Naturalised Distribution
Widely naturalised in the coastal districts of eastern Australia (i.e. in the coastal districts of south-eastern, central and northern Queensland and in the coastal districts of northern New South Wales). Also naturalised on Norfolk Island and possibly naturalised in the Northern Territory.
Naturalised overseas in southern USA (i.e. California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana and Florida), Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, India, China, and on several Pacific islands (i.e. Fiji, French Polynesia, Tonga and Hawaii).
A weed of disturbed sites, waste areas, roadsides, wetter pastures, open woodlands and densely forested areas, and particularly along waterways in sub-tropical and tropical regions.
A upright (i.e. erect) shrub or small tree usually growing 4-6 m tall, but occasionally reaching up to 7 m in height.
Distinguishing Features
- a slightly spiny upright shrub with drooping branches.
- its oppositely arranged leaves are sometimes toothed towards their tips.
- its blue or light purple (occasionally white) tubular flowers are borne in elongated clusters.
- it is most easily distinguished by its large clusters of yellow-orange mature fruit.
Stems and Leaves
The branches can are often drooping in nature, especially when carrying large numbers of mature fruit. There are usually at least some pairs of spines along the stems, one located at the base of each of the leaf stalks (i.e. they are axillary spines). Younger stems are green in colour and sparsely covered in close-lying (i.e. appressed) hairs.
The leaves are simple and paired (i.e. oppositely arranged) or occasionally borne in whorls of three. They have short leaf stalks (i.e. petioles) up to 1 cm long and are oval (i.e. elliptic) to egg-shaped in outline (i.e. ovate). The leaf blades (15-90 mm long and 12-60 mm wide) usually have entire margins, but sometimes they are slightly toothed (i.e. serrated) towards the pointed or rounded tips (i.e. acute or obtuse apices). These leaves are sometimes sparsely covered in close-lying (i.e. appressed) hairs when they are young, but they quickly becomes hairless (i.e. glabrous).
Flowers and Fruit
The blue or pale purple flowers (occasionally white) are borne in elongated clusters (5-30 cm long) at the tips of the branches and in the upper leaf stalks (i.e. in terminal and axillary racemes). These flowers (9-18 mm long) are borne on short stalks (i.e. they are sub-sessile) and each flower consists of a thin tube (about 1 cm long), made up of the fused petals, which opens into five distinct lobes (i.e. corolla lobes). The two lower petal lobes are slightly smaller and both of these has a darker stripe down its centre. Each flower also has five small green sepals (3-7 mm long), that are also fused together at the base, and four stamens. Flowering mostly occurs during summer and autumn.
The fruit are rounded (i.e. globose) 'berries' (i.e. drupes) and are usually borne in large clusters. These glossy fruit (5-14 mm across) turn from green to orange or yellow in colour as they mature.
Reproduction and Dispersal
This species reproduces mainly by seed, which are most commonly dispersed by birds that eat the brightly coloured fruit. also spread in dumped garden waste.
Environmental Impact
Duranta (Duranta erecta) is regarded as an environmental weed in Queensland and northern New South Wales. It was recently listed among the top 50 most invasive species in the New South Wales North Coast environmental weed survey and among the top 100 most invasive plants in south-eastern Queensland. It is also regarded as a "sleeper weed" in other parts of Australia and is listed as an undesirable plant in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in northern Queensland.
This species invades moist or wet sites in native bushland areas, and is particularly common along river banks and in riparian zones. An infestation was recently reported to be climbing 10 m up into the existing canopy of an at risk regional ecosystem near Townsville in northern Queensland.
Duranta (Duranta erecta) is also listed as an important invasive plant in China, where it causes obvious changes in natural ecosystems, and it is on the list of the most invasive horticultural plants in Hawaii.
Other Impacts
The leaves and 'berries' (i.e. drupes) are poisonous to people and animals, and are reported to have caused numerous deaths in domestic pets. Dense thickets can restrict access and reduce the productivity of pastures.
Not declared or considered noxious by any state government authorities.

Buy Hash
The History Of Hash
To appreciate the luxury of buying hash online even more, it helps to know the origins of this special cannabis concentrate. Its full name, "hashish," comes from an Arabic word that translates to the word "grass." Hash has roots in the northern part of India, where it was likely used for religious and medicinal purposes. Some of the earliest documentation of hash's existence stems from around A.D. 900, but many believe the method of resin collection that is used to extract hash today was done well before this time. During the 10th century, hash was introduction to the Arabian Peninsula, according to historic documentation. Then around the 19th century, it began to gain popularity in the western world. This significant introduction of hash to European countries lead to further refinement and incorporation of the product into medications. The concept of cannabis extractions then grew into the 20th century. Today, hash is a well-known cannabis concentrate that is used both recreationally and for medicinal purposes.
Types of Hash
Note that when you buy hash online, not all hash products are made alike. In fact, there are multiple different hashes available and this is based on how the hash is made. Bubble hash is produced through ice water extraction and contains around 70 – 80% THC. Lebanese hash is made using a drying process to separate the resin from the plants. Afghani Royal Hash comes from Indica strains and water or tea is used to separate the trichomes in its production. Charas Hash is made by hand and usually comes in a ball or cylindrical form. Moroccan Hash is a little less potent compared to other types, which makes it have a more mellow taste and effect.
How To Use Hash
Once you buy hash online and receive the product, you can use it in various ways. It can be consumed orally, either in solid form or infused into a beverage. Or, you can smoke hash by itself or as an addition to marijuana buds. Some methods of smoking hash include sprinkling it in a joint, vaporizing it, dabbing it, or smoking it through a bong or pipe.
Why Buy Hash Online
Buying hash online not only gives you flexibility and convenience but also knowledge of your product. When browsing hash products on Buy My Weed's online dispensary, you can click through to each product page to get more details on the exact benefits each particular hash or cannabis product provides. For all your cannabis needs, we're here to make your shopping experience simple, educational, and enjoyable. Look no further than Buy My Weed Online to buy hash online today.

Love surprises? I sure do!
That's why I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Amorino Gelato Al Naturale while in Paris, France:
8 Rue Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie,
Marais, 75004
Paris, France
Created by two childhood friends, Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi, Amorino was born in 2002. The two founders' passion is highlighted in their values : exacting standards of quality, consistency, pleasure and flavour, as well as the cosy atmosphere in their shops. Paolo Benassi : "Our objection is to make the highest quality ice cream as naturally as possible with no artificial colors or flavorings".
The creation of each new flavour of ice cream starts with the most rigorous choice of sourced ingredients, combined with the patience and skill of our highly trained chefs. Amorino takes conscience of the process that it requires. We, at Amorino, are fully conscious of the requirements that are needed to make perfect ice cream and we won't rush that delicate process. For each new recipe, we push ourselves to maximise the flavour and the taste sensation. How? By simply using organic and natural products, by sourcing our ingredients directly from reputable suppliers and by ensuring that we oversee every stage of the production process. > Source
Full bodied, creamy with an explosion of flavour, Amorino flower is worth every petal lick.
Need I say more.

Often when I travel folks comment, "Wow, you travel light!" I've heard it from TSA agents, gate agents, other passengers and flight attendants. Even before it cost money to check bags and they forced gate-checking because of full flights, I never packed much. It's probably just me. But maybe if I share my 'travel light' strategy, I can make someone else's life a little easier.
My husband doesn't like to check a bag either, but he did love his overhead bin carry-on roller bag. He would stuff that bag full and insist on bringing it every trip. And he has had to gate-check it a couple times. Eventually, I bought him the under-the-seat-sized roller bag and we reached a satisfactory compromise. They don't make him gate check that bag – they don't even really notice it – because he collapses the pull handle and carries it on.
So here's an example of what is usually in my mid-sized over the shoulder bag:
- One or two spare pair of pants and/or shorts (tightly rolled)
- Two-three tops (tightly rolled)
- MAYBE one extra pair of shoes (usually I wear the same shoes the entire trip)
- Undergarments for each day (of course) 😉
- My clear bag with a minimal amount of liquids
In my purse I carry my passport, phone, headphones, charger(s), makeup, and other necessary miscellaneous items.
That's it. Two bags. Both of which easily fit under the seat in front of me.
If the weather will be cold at my destination, I wear the heavier clothes and carry my jacket.
Most of our trips run about four-five days, but I have been on more than one ten day trip with only about this much clothing. I can wear each outfit twice and easily be clothed for 7-8 days. If I plan a longer trip, I wash everything at the half way point.
I have never lost luggage. I have never been delayed because I'm waiting for my luggage. I've never had to gate-check a bag and hope to find it at the end of my journey. I don't fight for overhead bin space with my neighboring passengers.
And I have never once done without anything I needed.

Jake Sellers was practicing bull riding in the Three Rivers practice pen in mid-October when he was thrown from a 2,200-pound bull.
His spur got caught in his bull rope and he was stuck under the biggest bull Three Rivers has in its practice pen. Sellers was dragged around the pen and got kicked by the bull twice while he was stuck. The first kick broke three of his ribs. The second split his liver.
"There's a lot going through my mind," Sellers said. "I don't really remember for sure but I couldn't do anything. I was just stuck."
Sellers was rushed to Cape Girardeau in an ambulance, where he spent a week in intensive care.
"The thing about riding bulls is there's no timeouts with bulls. You can't blow a whistle and stop. The practice makes it just as dangerous as competing," Three Rivers coach Chad Phipps said. "... They said if he would've waited 15-20 more minutes to come, they don't think they could've saved him."
Sellers spent months recovering, and even when he was physically able to start practicing again in January, he had some mental hurdles to get through. During his first practice, he rode three times with no problems. Then, during the next ride, he felt his spur get caught in his bull rope again and the thought of the injury crept back into his mind.
"My biggest obstacle was for sure getting over my feet catching my rope," Sellers said. "Anytime my feet would catch my rope I'd just lose focus of riding and think of what happened last time my spurs caught my bull rope. … I just had to work on blocking everything else out, which I'll admit, I still have to work on some of that, but it's not bad at all now."
Sellers was still determined to get back in the pen and continue to do what he's loved to do since he was 12. When he first started bull riding, he wanted to prove people wrong. He was told he shouldn't do it because it was just asking to get hurt.
Now, he's out to prove to himself that he can still keep experiencing the excitement of bull riding.
"Anybody that rides bulls, if they tell you they're not scared, they're lying," Phipps said. "But that's what makes you good at it, is the fear. You've got to learn how to harness that fear and energy to work for you instead of against you, so he did a great job of getting hold of his emotions instead of bringing them back."
Last weekend, Sellers made huge progress toward proving to himself he could still ride bulls successfully.
Eight months after his injuries, he competed in the College National Finals Rodeo. Due to the time he missed, he was originally one spot out of qualification. The rider in third place was unable to attend the CNFR, so Sellers got the nod.
At the CNFR in Casper, Wyoming, Sellers was one of 19 riders to get bucked off his bull on all three of his rides.
"It was pretty cool. I did enjoy being up there," Sellers said. "It was a lot of sights to see, and it was definitely an experience for that college rodeo. I do plan on going up there next year and actually doing good. Most of my rides, I kind of bucked myself off with my free arm. I kept my free arm too high and never got it down to where it needed to be."
Sellers is a freshman, so he'll have two more shots to appear in the CNFR with Three Rivers, chasing a win on the biggest stage.
"When you win an event, there's no feeling like that in the world because, to me, it's the hardest event in rodeo," Phipps said. "If you ride 50% of the bulls you get on, you're with the tops of the world. … You lose a lot more than you win, so when you do win, oh man, the victor is so sweet. It's an adrenaline rush, like you say, but it's an addiction; it's a way of life."

This week's 'Ask Evan' question deals with traffic lights. Drew A asks, "Is the length of a yellow light regulated? Some traffic signals stay yellow for quite some time while others seem to be very short?"
I reached out to PennDOT for details and here's what I've been told. The duration of yellow lights includes algebraic formulas and other deep details. Way too much to get into here, and frankly really understand! So, here's the boiled down version from PennDOT.
Basically, timing on all traffic signals falls under the manual on uniform traffic control devices. They are all federally regulated, so every signal in the state is owned, operated and maintained by the municipality– but PennDOT sets all the timing. The yellow light is based on a variety of factors, including the incoming speeds to the intersection and the grade of the road — whether it is uphill or downhill. Typically a yellow light can be between 3 and 6 seconds based on those factors. Shorter being a slower speed like 25 mph, or on an uphill climb.
In fact, there is a move to make yellow lights even a bit longer, based on the 'dilemma zone,' which means the area where you make the decision between slamming on your brakes or speeding up to make it through the light, especially when the speeds are higher.
Some have long questioned the length and fairness of yellow lights.. Especially when it comes to being cited for running a red light– because the yellow light seemed short.
Thanks for the question. If you have a question you'd like to ask send me an email at email@example.com Put 'Ask Evan' in the subject line or reach out to me on my Facebook page Evan Forrester FOX43 Whatever the topic I'll do my best to track down answers you are looking for.

It's so much fun to discover a fun new author…even more fun when that discovery comes by winning a contest! I had been looking at My Stubborn Heart on the bookstore bookshelf for quite a while, but with so many other books by authors I knew that I wanted to purchase, and not knowing this author, it ended up on the back burner. Of course, now all of Becky's books are on my Must-Buy/Must-Read list.
I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Becky captured my attention in this book. I immediately fell in love with the characters. I live with my 85-year-old grandmother, so the cute relationship between Kate and her grandma (and Grandma's menagerie of friends) was familiar and enjoyable.
The setting was enchanting, an old family estate in need of restoration. Of course, with an estate to restore, we need a handyman. I always enjoy a story with a handyman. I have no idea why, but I don't think I've read a handyman story yet that I didn't like. Silly, but true!
Our handyman in this book, Matt, was really hurting and far from God. He is in need of restoration himself. When Kate, Grandma and friends arrive on the scene God meets them right in the middle of all the crazy fun and heart-bearing moments.
I enjoyed the realistic manner in which the characters interacted. Our experiences shape the way we see and react to things and how we therefore expect others to react. In the same way, our characters were shaped by what they had experienced. They had expectations of each other and God that stemmed from their experiences and their perceptions of them. It was also refreshing that our characters were not perfect. Even the characters who were following God closely sometimes acted on their own and didn't do things as God would have guided. These aspects made for a story that can not only be enjoyed but related to and the lessons applied to our own lives too.
Becky is a wonderful writer who knows just how to grab your heart and pull you into the story. She throws in just enough humor and fun to keep you laughing while you learn with the characters to trust God to see you through. I am now really looking forward to Undeniably Yours!

As online user accounts become more powerful and prevalent, it is important to keep your accounts secure.
Many online platforms now offer two-step verification, making it harder for attackers to gain unauthorised account access.
One form of two-factor authentication is a Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) security key, which is a physical key used to unlock your online accounts.
In order to use a hardware key for authentication, you will need to ensure it complies with the open U2F standard from the FIDO Alliance.
These keys are used to authenticate your account by connecting to your device using a USB connection or NFC.
It is important to note that you can still access your account without a key, you will just need to use your previous form of authentication.
FIDO U2F keys are available for below R500 for a device that supports both USB and NFC connectivity.
You can use a FIDO-compliant key to unlock your account by inserting it into your PC's USB port and pressing the button, or tapping it on an NFC reader.
U2F keys are currently only supported by the latest versions of Opera and Google Chrome.
The keys can also be used with smartphones, depending on their communications features.
A brief explanation of how to set up FIDO U2F authentication on a number of popular platforms is detailed below.
To add a security key to your Google account, navigate to Sign-In Settings under the My Account menu.
Ensure your security key is not connected to your device and click Register, then insert your key into a USB port.
If your security key has a button, press it and it should register as connected to your Google account.
When logging into Google from Chrome or Opera, you will not be prompted to insert your security key after entering your login details.
To set up your security key for Facebook, navigate to the Settings menu and select Security.
In the Security menu, navigate to the Login Approvals page, which lists your current authentication methods and allows you to add new ones.
Click the Add Key option and connect your security key to your device when prompted.
Ensure that you have two-factor authentication enabled in your settings in order to activate the security key protection.
To activate your security key for Dropbox, navigate to the Security page under Settings and enable two-factor authentication.
Before adding your security key, you will need to set up a backup authentication method, such as SMS or Google Authenticator.
After this is done, you can add a security key by clicking on the appropriate option and following the prompts.
GitHub's two-factor authentication functions similarly to Dropbox, and will require you to set up a backup authentication method before adding a security key.
In the Security menu, navigate to the two-factor authentication page and click the Register New Device option under Security Keys.
After deciding on a nickname for your security key, follow the prompts to connect your key to your GitHub account.

Many people adore shoes. Actually, almost everyone does. Therefore, shoes are always in demand, regardless of economic conditions. It makes you feel better when you are wearing new shoes that look amazing. Regardless of whether you love sporty shoes or fashionable shoes, this article has tips for you. So let's begin!
Never wear your sneakers without putting on a pair of socks first. This can be damaging to your foot due to rubbing. It may also cause foot fungus to grow, due to your feet getting moist. Wearing cotton socks with some foot powder is the best way to keep your feet dry.
Don't buy shoes unless you try them both on. You might get uncomfortable shoes if you don't try them on first. You may need to switch sizes a few times before finding one that fits just right.
When shopping for shoes for the summer, don't just buy flip flops. These shoes provide virtually no support, leaving you susceptible to ankle sprains, injured toes and blisters. So keep flip-flops for limited, recreational use.
Determine the type of arch you have before choosing your athletic shoes as not all are made to fit every type of arch. Get the bottom part of your foot wet and step onto a plain piece of paper. You should be able to see your arch. A flat arch leaves a nearly solid wet footprint. The middle won't be visible if you have a high arch. This will help you choose the right shoes that fit.
If buying athletic shoes, invest in a good pair. This is especially important if you exercise. Athletic shoes offer proper support during even the most demanding sports. Shoes that aren't made for people to do physical things in them may not support your feet, and that can damage your ankles, feet, or knees.
If you're someone who runs, you should log how many miles you go in your shoes. These types of shoes take a great deal of pounding in their short life. They generally last around 400 miles before you need new ones, so you must know when this is. Jot it down after each run to know when they need replaced.
Assemble a big shoe collection so you can wear something on every occasion. People do notice the shoes you wear, and wearing something inappropriate will attract negative opinions. You are going to have much better results when you can coordinate your outfit with your shoes.
All people really like a good pair of shoes. This is not dependent on how old you are or whether you're male or female. Many people love nothing more than to buy a fabulous paid of shoes. Hopefully, the preceding information helps you develop a greater appreciation for shoes.

Aims a meta-analysis to evaluate the steroid-releasing sinus implants in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in order to assess its efficacy.Settings and Design Meta analysis.Methods and Material The 4 trials enrolled a total of 539 patients utilizing an intrapatient control design. Postoperative day 30 videos were obtained for each patient, randomly ordered for grading of efficacy endpoints. The need for postoperative interventions, formation of polyposis, and adhesions were assessed. Results from the 4 studies were then pooled.Statistical analysis used Comprehensive Meta-Analysis© version 2 (Biostat™, NJ, USA).Results Implants were successfully placed. According to the grading done by the panel, drug-releasing implants reduced significant adhesions by 2.5% (P=0.971), middle turbinate lateralization occurrence was 2.5% (P=0.954), polyp formation was 2% (P=0.830), the need for oral steroid intervention was 22% (P=0.173), significantly less need for postoperative therapeutic intervention 33% (P=0.305), or Surgical Lysis of Adhesions (LOA) intervention 14% (P=0.951), compared to controls.Conclusions Steroid-releasing implants improve surgical outcomes by reducing frank polyp formation, sinus adhesions, and middle turbinate lateralization. Steroid-releasing implants reduce the need for surgical intervention, and the need for oral steroid treatment.

Monday February 8, 7:59 am Eastern Time
Company Press Release
3D Systems' New SLA 7000 Breaks the Performance Barrier, Advances
Technology Beyond
Prototypes Into Production Arena
Production Solid Imager Delivers Unparalleled Speed, High Surface Finish
VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 1999-- 3D Systems Corp.
(Nasdaq/NMS:TDSC - news) Monday announced the SLA 7000 Production Solid
Imager, its
fifth-generation system that is four times faster than its current
high-end system, and capable of delivering near production quality parts
with superior surface finish.
``We broke all the boundaries by creating a system with a new
architecture and outstanding capabilities,'' said Richard Balanson, 3D
Systems president and chief operating officer. ``We
believe the SLA 7000 system sets a new industry standard for performance
by being an order of magnitude faster than its nearest competitor.''
The SLA 7000 is ideal for concept modeling, rapid prototyping, tooling
and near production applications in a wide variety of industries,
including automotive, aerospace, consumer
products, consumer electronics, toys, entertainment, and medical
``Past process improvements were in the range of 10 to 25 percent, so
400 percent is tremendous,'' said Steve Deak, manager of rapid
prototyping at Hasbro Inc., and also one of the first
purchasers of the new system. ``We believe the SLA 7000's speed and
surface finish improvements will permit Hasbro to shorten product
development lead times and reduce project costs.
We're looking forward to reduced cost of ownership through lower
operating and maintenance expenses.''
According to Charles Wilson, 3D Systems vice president of worldwide
sales and marketing: ``The SLA 7000 system -- integrated with our new 3D
Lightyear software and high-speed
resin -- means better, faster, cheaper parts to meet our customers'
time-to-market and time-to-volume demands. And it brings us one step
closer to our ultimate goal of developing an
SLA that will take us into final production.''
New Design Benefits Customers
Equipped to build ultra-thin .001 inch (.025 millimeter) layers, the SLA
7000 system produces parts with excellent surface finish. This is a
critically important feature for rapid tooling
and other applications that require extreme part precision and high
surface resolution. This fine layer thickness also reduces the need for
hand finishing of parts.
The SLA 7000 system's high throughput and efficiency is due in part to a
dual-spot, high-power laser. A totally self-contained, maintenance-free
cooling system creates greater system
stability by tightly controlling the temperature of the laser. Combined
with a revolutionary build process, the system allows the customer to
tailor build speed and surface finish to meet
application needs.
The SLA 7000 has a maximum build area of 20 x 20 x 23.62 inches (508 x
508 x 600 mm), which allows customers to produce a significantly large
part, or multiple smaller parts
With a U.S. list price of $799,995, the SLA 7000 offers three times the
price performance of the SLA 5000, the current industry leader. The SLA
7000 will begin shipping worldwide in
March 1999.
New Windows NT Software Platform
The SLA 7000 includes the company's new highly integrated 3D Lightyear
part preparation software, designed for the Windows NT operating
environment, plus companion NT-based
Buildstation 5.0 software to control the mechanical functions of the
Easy-to-use 3D Lightyear software provides significant performance
improvements over Maestro, 3D Systems' comparable Unix-based software.
3D Lightyear verifies files up to 150
times faster, renders parts up to 6 times faster, and prepares files
more than twice as fast. ``The net effect is that the SLA 7000 system
stays productive and continuously builds parts,
instead of waiting for file preparation and transfers,'' said Balanson.
The new Windows NT part preparation software will operate with all SLA
devices, including the SLA 190, SLA 250, SLA 350, SLA 500, SLA 3500 and
SLA 5000 systems.
New Generation Solid Imaging Materials
Developed by Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corp. in conjunction with 3D
Systems, the new SL 7510 high-speed, multi-purpose stereolithography
resin is an integral component in the SLA
7000 process. SL 7510 resin features fast photospeed and improved
mechanical properties.
SL 7510 is the latest development in a 10-year joint effort by 3D
Systems and Ciba Specialty Chemicals to develop advanced photopolymers
for stereolithography. 3D Systems is the
exclusive worldwide distributor of Ciba's photopolymer products produced
under this development partnership.
``This integrated combination of hardware, software and materials gives
3D Systems the broadest family of solutions in the marketplace today,''
concluded Balanson.
About 3D Systems

Dr. Davis of the Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute in Plano, Texas is an expert in bio-identical hormone therapy. She has helped numerous patients from Plano and from all over the world. She helps patients overcome severe symptoms, from hot flashes to painful intercourse, to Look Better. Feel Stronger. Achieve Optimal Health with bio-identical hormone therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones made in a woman's body. Unlike their synthetic predecessors, bioidentical hormones are made from a plant extract derived from yams and/or soy. These extracts are processed in a medical lab to exactly duplicate the natural hormones' structure.
The body is unable to tell the difference between bioidentical hormones and those naturally produced in the body. That means these newer hormones are safer than traditional, synthetic versions. Another major advantage is that bioidentical hormones can be precisely monitored via blood and saliva tests. As a result, dosages are easily customized for every patient. Too, they are more easily absorbed by the body compared to synthetic hormones.
Most women experience serious, even debilitating symptoms as a result of the decrease in the female sex hormones, estrogen, and progesterone that accompany menopause. By replacing these hormones with bioidentical versions, women not only enjoy relief from these symptoms but reap increased energy and strength and a diminished risk of age-related conditions, such as osteoporosis.
The key to bio-identical hormone therapy at the Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute is a custom approach. Dr. Davis begins with a thorough exam that includes taking a complete family history, physical exam, and blood tests. She will also offer education on exercise, diet, and stress reduction, to ensure ongoing and optimal health and wellness.
Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine is much more than a cosmetic practice. It is a medical specialty focused on prevention, treatment, and reversal of health deterioration due to age. As the average lifespan continues to increase, it is important to stay hormonally and nutritionally healthy throughout the middle and last stages of life.
Age deterioration can begin as early as the 30s. This is when production of the body's natural hormones, namely progesterone and estrogen in women, testosterone in men – as well as thyroid hormones, growth hormones, melatonin, DHEA, and brain hormones – starts to diminish.
To restore hormonal balance to the body, Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute uses Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. BHRT is a recent breakthrough in the Anti-Aging practice and was developed to supplant synthetic hormone replacement, which can pollute the body with foreign substances that cannot be broken down. The replacement hormones used by Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute, however, are identical in molecular structure to the ones your body produces.
After a lab test is done to determine the precise quantity of hormone deficiency, a prescription is sent to the pharmacy. The hormones are absorbed via creams, pills, compound patches, or injections.
The effects Bio-Replacement Hormone Therapy will help you look and feel younger by counteracting a rapid decline in quality of life due to deterioration of the heart, brain, blood vessels, and organs. BHRT also helps prevent such health problems as erectile dysfunction and reduced muscle strength in men, and hair loss and bloating in women.
The Functional Medicine service at Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute is an alternative medicine to improve physiological functions of patients with chronic diseases. This branch of medicine takes into consideration every aspect of a patient's lifestyle, from environmental stimuli to genetic predispositions, with the goal of treating and preventing the underlying cause of the disease instead of merely ameliorating the symptoms.
Health deterioration due to aging or chronic illness should be treated as early as possible. Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute is ready to fulfill all of your anti-aging, regenerative, and functional medicine needs.
The conventional doctors tend to treat menopause, rather than the person experiencing menopausal symptoms. Many don't even bother determining hormone levels. A quickly prescribed fixed dosage of artificial (nonhuman) hormones, such as Premarin, made from horse urine, is the standard way by the conventional doctors.
But every woman is different, and each will experience menopause in a unique way. That's why it is crucial to run comprehensive tests before beginning any hormone program, followed by periodical blood checks to ensure hormone levels are in the optimal range.
Female Menopause
Since 2005, Texas Anti-Aging Medicine Institute has offered comprehensive bio-identical hormone therapy, resulting in many positive changes in our female patients. Feeling better and looking younger are just a few of the reported benefits!

If this clown joked about killing a democrat his career would be over. But, because it's Sarah Palin he's joking about killing he'll probably land a few new gigs.
The Blaze reported:
Comedian Titus tells jokes for a living. And in general, they're supposed to be funny. But is it comedy to joke about killing a possible future president? That's exactly what he did yesterday when he quipped about hanging out on the "grassy knoll" if Palin is elected in 2012.
Advertisement - story continues below
"You know what man?" Titus said on "The Adam Carolla Show" podcast. "I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It's for my country. It's for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it's for my country."
His comments were in reference to Palin's recent telling of the story of Paul Revere and the accusation — and her subsequent defense — that she told the story wrong.

He has also written for the hugely popular EntertainmentOne characters Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly.
Pantomime Producer Paul Holman said: "Worthing audiences have spoken and we've listened; they wanted him back and I am delighted to have secured Mark to return as Buttons."

2009-02-05 [Artsieladie]: What's that saying? "The squeaky cog gets the oil." lol ;) *giggling*
2009-02-05 [Alexi Ice]: ! Genious! ^^
2009-02-06 [Artsieladie]: I was just trying to be a wisenheimer! *laughs and tries to look innocent*
2009-02-06 [Doormat]: Did someone say Cog?
Oh wait...*Slowly backs out of room*

2009-02-06 [Artsieladie]: [Doormat].. lol Aww, though. Hello Kitty! ;P
I bet you are [FamousPanda]! Well, now we can expect lots of your wonderful art, right? *winks* I've had a tablet for about 2 years, but I still do all of my computer art with my mouse. :P

When I started writing this feature two years and 99 columns ago, I wondered: "How the hell am I going to find something to write a column about every week?" For starters, Embury — the bar that brought craft cocktails to Pittsburgh — had just closed.
But as it happens, Pittsburgh wasn't just a city with strong traditions: Its drinks scene was on the verge of rapid expansion. There would be plenty of stories to tell.
The Embury space itself was one of them. Even when four dudes from Greensburg promised to bring something dynamic to the site, it was hard to imagine that one day Bar Marco would become the force that it is today.
And Bar Marco wasn't alone in filling the void: Tender, Harvard & Highland and Butterjoint are just a few post-Embury craft-cocktail establishments. Acacia, the spawn of Embury, now provides welcome respite on hectic East Carson Street.
I'm impressed by the scope of talent and passion I've found in Pittsburgh's craft-brewing communities. One of the first stories I wrote featured Three Rivers Underground Brewers, and I was floored by the diversity of homebrew. East End Brewery has expanded into a larger space, and there are now numerous local micro- and nanobreweries on tap at Pittsburgh bars. It's also easier than ever to find a six-pack store where you can assemble a take-home collection of craft beer.
And although Pittsburgh's wine culture still lags behind other cities, Spoon, Cure and Dish Osteria now have certified experts to help you select a bottle of vino. For a pre- or post-meal drink, The Allegheny Wine Mixer curates an affordable selection of lesser-known wines, plus terrific beer and cocktails.
I'm looking forward to what's on the horizon. The Bar Marco boys are set to open The Livermore, in East Liberty. Downtown will soon be awash in bourbon when The Butcher and The Rye opens. And there's a rum maker ready to join Wigle Whiskey in the Strip's burgeoning distillery district.
There are many more stories to come. Cheers.

Prior Learning Assessments Option
The Prior Learning Assessment program at West Kentucky Community & Technical College is designed to award credit for college-level learning derived from experiences outside the classroom.
There are a number of methods for granting college credit for experiential learning, including:
- Advanced Placement (AP) exams
- College Level Exam Program (CLEP) exams
- Special Technical Education Proficiency (STEP) exams
- Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio
Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio
Not all courses offer a competency exam. Is there another way for a student to show that he or she has mastered the content of a college course through on-the-job training, apprenticeships, etc? Yes! A Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Portfolio offers an opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge gained through life-experiences and equate that knowledge with the learning outcomes of a specific college course, thereby earning credit for the course without actually having to take that course. This can save the student both time and money!
Following standards established by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), WKCTC uses the portfolio method for evaluating college-level learning experiences. Prior learning credit will be awarded only if it can be equated with the learning outcomes/objectives described in our catalog or in the course syllabi. Portfolios are evaluated by an appropriate faculty member.
What experience counts?
Learning acquired through the following kinds of activities might qualify:
How Do I Start?
Why Should I Do This?

From its location high in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, Mystic Mountain emphasizes instruction for children, first-time adults and skiers wishing to brush up on their skills. The staff makes sure each skier or snowboarder receives attentive one-on-one instruction.
