This week is the 155th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the climactic engagement of the Civil War and the largest battle fought in the Western Hemisphere. Around this time every year I re-watch (not all in one sitting) the 1993 film Gettysburg, directed by Ronald Maxwell, which is an adaptation of Michael Shaara's wonderful, Pulitzer Prize-winning 1974 novel The Killer Angels. This is one of my favorite films and also generally highly-regarded among historians for its accuracy and attention to historical detail. As good as it is, however, Gettysburg's much-discussed accuracy really only goes so far. What it chooses to show is pretty much true to what the battle was really like. There's quite a lot, though, that the movie doesn't show us, and those aspects too are an important dimension of the war. Thinking about this raises some interesting questions about the depiction of history in popular entertainment, and the duty that filmmakers and storytellers have to provide realistic recreations of the past.
Gettysburg is an extremely long movie, 4 hours and 14 minutes, and very unusual for its time. It's a broad picture of the great 1863 battle focusing on several characters, beginning on the eve of the battle with Union General John Buford (Sam Elliott), then shifting on the second day (July 2) to Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels), and finally, July 3, to gloomy Confederate General James Longstreet (Tom Berenger) who is ordered by General Robert E. Lee (Martin Sheen) to conduct a massive frontal attack whose ultimate failure Longstreet foresees. In addition to the numerous scenes of actual battles as well as planning and military conferences, there are some more human moments, such as Chamberlain dealing with a group of mutinous Maine soldiers who have tired of fighting, or the emotional struggles of the wistful Lo Armistead (Richard Jordan, in his final role) as he recalls the pain of having to take up arms against his best friends. The film does an excellent job of balancing the battle action with characters and their stories, which is difficult considering we only see three days in their lives. The writing sticks pretty faithfully to The Killer Angels, which is written in a series of internal monologues by the principal characters; in the movie some characters actually quote from these monologues, giving the dialogue an interesting 19th century rhetorical tone.
Over the film's 4 hour plus running time we see numerous battles, from Buford's opening engagement to the epic slaughter of Pickett's Charge. What's noticeable about them, however, is how tame and bloodless they appear. A lot of extras grimace, clutch their chests and collapse dramatically as they're shot, and in a few scenes we see dead bodies draped on the scenery, but that's about it. Probably the bloodiest scene is not a battle, but where Longstreet goes into a barn turned into a hospital to visit wounded General John Bell Hood (Patrick Gorman). Doctors are covered in bloody smocks and we see some casualties with bandaged stumps from amputations. Aside from that, the toll of the battle is remarkably invisible. Gettysburg indeed only got a PG rating, not even a PG-13, unusual for a film that probably contains half again as much gunfire and explosions as your typical Hollywood action film. It is indeed a largely antiseptic view of the Civil War, with a lot of its unpleasantness carefully left offscreen.
In reality, of course, the Civil War was the most horrendous military conflict in American history. Though 20th century battles like Normandy and Okinawa were particularly ferocious, it was the sustained high-intensity slog of the Civil War that made it so bloody. Also the nature of the weaponry and the state of tactics made it even worse. An American soldier shot with a steel bullet on Omaha Beach in 1944 at least had (statistically speaking) fairly good odds of surviving, with a lot of tissue damage and trained medics very close. A Union soldier shot with a one-inch musket ball at Gettysburg in 1863, if he survived, could expect to lose whatever limb the ball had passed through, and a harrowing trial in an unsanitary field hospital with no painkillers or sterile instruments. And the casualty rates were much higher. Shortly after the Battle of Gettysburg, Alexander Gardner and other photographers took a series of photos of the battlefield dead that horrified people when they were published. They showed the awful toll of the battle: bloated, mangled corpses, blood-soaked fields, piles of bleeding amputated limbs outside of hospital tents. That was what the Civil War looked like, but very few of these kinds of images appear in the movie Gettysburg.
These and other photos of the aftermath of Gettysburg disturbed many people–exactly as they should have. Even they are fairly tame compared to what it was really like.
The emotional and moral cost of the war is at least a little better-represented. One of the most touching scenes is when Chamberlain hears from his brother Thomas (C. Thomas Howell) about the death (off-screen) of their friend Kilrain (Kevin Conway). Daniels portrays this scene perfectly, choking up and seeming almost unable to function for a while. At the end, Lee and Longstreet huddle around a small campfire, lamenting how the price of Southern independence is getting ever higher. There's also a few very brief references to slavery, both from Union and Southern characters, but no more engagement with the thorny moral questions of the conflict than this. The Civil War was a moral catastrophe as much as a human one. Every war is, but this one was in particular.
Don't get me wrong. I perfectly understand why the filmmakers chose to present a relatively antiseptic view of the war: originally Gettysburg was to have been a television miniseries, not a theatrical movie. The choice to turn it into a feature was daring, especially given its length, but it was quite commercially successful. I remember trying to go see it on its opening week in October 1993 and being surprised to learn all the shows were sold out. Gettysburg had a pretty tepid marketing campaign, so its popularity was spread mostly word-of-mouth–a true organic blockbuster. It's the kind of film that you could show your kids to introduce them to history. A middle school social studies teacher would have no problem showing parts of Gettysburg to a seventh-grade class. This is probably a good thing. Another more realistic Civil War film, Edward Zwick's Glory (1989), gives us exploding heads, shocking racial prejudice and war atrocities committed on both sides. It's a great film, but it's an emotional slog to get through. It's an entirely different kind of film.
This clip from Gettysburg showcases Richard Jordan's powerful performance as General Armistead. Personally I think he should have gotten at least an Academy Award nomination. Not the best clip technically; the audio is out of sync.
We must be aware, however, of the risks of "cleaning up" history for popular consumption. Gettysburg is full of crackling muskets, waving flags, galloping horses and heroic commanders. These were genuine aspects of the real Civil War, but they were inseparable from the horror, catastrophe and moral inversion that accompanied them, and which are a part of all wars. Depicting war this way is not immoral in itself, but letting these depictions dominate society's understanding of war is immoral. Future generations must understand the true costs of war, and today in the U.S. with an all-volunteer military, our awareness is increasingly dominated by media depictions of conflict rather than by histories or the I-was-there stories of family members, friends and other witnesses. Maybe we need pictures like Gettysburg, but we also need pictures like Glory. I enjoy Gettysburg and I will watch it again next year, but I have an excuse: I know a little bit about the darker side of the war too. Not everybody who sees the movie will have the benefit of that knowledge.

The good news for the month ahead is that although there are still some challenges, things should start lightening up a tad – what with the Sun in Aquarius, the second new moon of the month in Aquarius, Venus turning direct and the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Horse! Yeehaa!
The second new moon is on 30th January, which means that we have a second chance this month to start afresh, to plant new seeds as it were.
The first New Moon on the 1st January was about identifying our goals for the year and setting structured, serious intentions. By now, many of those resolutions may have all but fallen by the wayside, as old patterns emerge and take over.
This new moon in Aquarius asks us to become the observer, to look at things from an entirely different perspective and to bring our intentions more into alignment with what's really achievable and maybe more importantly, with what really feels right for us. This is a much less serious, more freedom-seeking, inventive energy. It's about liberating our minds to seek original, innovative and unique solutions to old issues. New ways of looking at and doing things is the order of the day.
If you have a copy of your chart, the house in which 11 degrees of Aquarius falls is where you need to change your perceptions or try something new. This link will give you more information on the houses –http://www.cafeastrology.com/articles/housesofthehoroscope.html
If you don't have a copy of your chart, then just sit quietly at or just after new moon and intuitively connect with the area in your life that you feel you need a different perspective on or where you need to think out of the box.
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. "Albert Einstein
Be brave enough to question every single one of the perceptions you have this month. Become the observer of your own mind. When a thought or a belief comes up, immediately ask if it's true. Remember the word "belief" has the word "lie" buried within it. Ask whether your beliefs or thoughts are expanding you or holding you back. You can do this by simply thinking of a statement and feeling how it feels in your body. Our bodies never lie.
Ask too how you can see a particular issue, problem or challenge in your life as a creative opportunity for your growth, rather than as a troublesome drama to be chased away as soon as possible.
Say for example you have an issue with another person (which is highly likely, as relationships are under the spotlight right now). Your thought might be '"Buggalugs should be more reliable and consider my feelings" As soon as you become aware of the thought, run it through your body and see how it makes you feel – expanded or constricted.
Then shift to a higher, less emotional perspective and ask yourself if it's absolutely, fundamentally true…. without any doubt.
Lastly, play with that sentence and turn it around. Try a few different options
Eg Buggalugs should not be more reliable and consider my feelings (perhaps Buggalugs is behaving in exactly the right way to take you to your next level of consciousness or development)
or – "I should be more reliable with me and consider my feelings towards myself more
Or maybe even "I should be more reliable towards Buggalugs and consider his/her feelings ." … fancy that!
The more you do this, the more liberated you start to feel – guaranteed!
The energy of this new moon can really be like a breath of fresh air if you allow yourself to connect with it. The next few days are a wonderful time to dream, set your spirit free to roam and imagine the biggest vision for yourself.
Ask yourself questions like :
- Where am I different from other people and how can I embrace those qualities?
- What are my unique abilities, talents and gifts?
- How can I share them every day?
- How can I look at this situation in a different, innovative way?
- How and where can I jump out of the box and do things differently
I'll be sending out details shortly about an upcoming workshop I'll be running in February and March on the theme of Thinking out of the Box and Changing our Perceptions – watch this space.
I also have one place left on my Vision Board Workshop on the 8th February.
Any kind of investigation into our thoughts and beliefs will become even easier as Mercury goes retrograde from 8th Feb until 1 March. As we know, communications and electronic data can go awry during this time, so be sure to back up everything. If we view Mercury Retrograde from a more positive perspective, this is a chance to review, re-evaluate, reflect on, re-envision our beliefs, our words, our perceptions, our actions… our lives and step our consciousness up a few notches.
Along with the amazing energy of this new moon, which will be carried forward for the next two weeks, Venus, the planet of love and money comes out of her Retrograde phase on the 31st of January. This could start to ease things financially for some of us and allow for more clarity to enter our relationships.
There might still be some drama however, as Venus and Pluto continue their intense dance together. With the Sun in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn, we are asked to embrace our mature feminine – feel the feelings we feel, but detach from the drama of the story. In any situation, imagine you are in the audience, watching it like you would a movie or a stage show. Observe what's going on, listen to what's being said, but don't jump onto the stage. In other words, watch, wait and then respond, rather than react.
All this coincides beautifully and powerfully with the start of the Chinese year of the Horse on the 31st January. Although I don't do Chinese astrology, I think it's a wonderful theme to consider this month. The Chinese chaps say that this will be a year of rapid expansion, fast growth spurts, optimism, achievement of goals and the embracing of our wild, free instinctive natures.
Let's allow the spirit of the Horse to lead us through the month and the year. These amazing animals are very powerful teachers to us and they show us exactly how we need to treat them, ourselves and others. Horses are incredibly powerful, yet sensitive and intuitive. They need community, safety and prefer to be approached with caution and gentleness. They do not enjoy being kicked or being yanked this way and that by strange metal objects placed in their mouths. What they do enjoy is rolling in the hay, being stroked and running free in wide open spaces. We are not so different.
The first time I ever rode a horse in the wild was in Zululand at NIGHT and a moonless night at that. At one point I could see absolutely nothing and had no option but to completely put my faith in this incredibly intuitive being, who knew exactly what he needed to do and where he needed to put his feet down. I was told by my friend who was riding with me to give him a long rein so that he was able to smell and sense his way along. All I had to do was stay on the horse and keep my head down, to avoid the branches.
I think with all that's going on right now, this is quite a powerful analogy. Sometimes we need to loosen the reins, rather than hanging on tighter, pulling, tugging and trying to force and control, which is our normal instinctive reaction when we're fearful. Leaning back a little can be quite scary at first, but when we get the hang of it, we realise that our intuition comes to the fore and leads us to where we need to go…every time.

Little can be argued with how successful the newly released twin Galaxy S6 devices have been so far. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are two of the most talked about devices of recent times. As they are now here and available, it would be expected that the talk around them would subside somewhat. However, the talk around the two devices seems to be anything but subsiding. In fact, it seems that the excitement behind the two devices has grown since they were released. Which is something certainly out of the ordinary. Take the HTC One M9 for instance. this was equally as rumored and speculated upon prior to the release. However, once the device landed and the rumors were either confirmed or denied, the general frequency of news around the One M9 returned to a normal pace. When it comes to the twin Galaxy S6 devices, this is certainly not what is happening.
That said, it is not surprising as the two S6 devices seem to have very much exceeded expectations. Most of the big rumors proved to be true and Samsung did release a device which the public want, one which is built on quality and one which is proving to be increasingly popular. That said, it does seem that the twin Galaxy S6 devices are not exactly perfect. The latest information coming in, now suggests that Samsung have (or are) changing the way in which the Samsung logo is displayed on the Samsung Galaxy Edge.
According to the reports, the Samsung logo displayed on the front of the device's display (above the screen) had issues with reflecting light a bit too much. This seems to be due to the text of the logo containing a highlight around the logo letters (can be seen in the image above). Well, to try and combat the issue of light reflection, it seems Samsung has changed the display of the logo on the latest devices being shipped. You can see the difference between the before and after logos in the image below. At the moment, there is no confirmation on this from Samsung and likewise, it is not clear if this change is rolling out to Galaxy S6 as well as the S6 Edge, nor is it clear as to whether this will be rolling out in all regions. However, it would be assumed that the change will be across both devices and all regions.

I do like a good presentation. The coffin isn't for Dave but for the pet pig Mortimer. RIP.
Pears, maple syrup, graham crackers and moderate heat permeate the nose. Rich dark color in the glass.
Big mouthfeel, completely covers everything in the mouth. A bit more heat than I would have liked, but mellows quickly into a nice hug. The finish is very long and sweet throughout. Complex flavors of sweetness, dried fruit and spice on the follow through.
This is a lovely whiskey. Is it worth $500 retail though? I also like to run expensive ryes through the Handy test, is it better? The answer is no, but it's darn close and different. Like all my reviews, price is a factor in my reviews. If this was $100 it might be a contender for whiskey of the year, but at $500, there are too many I'd rather have in the 200-400 range like GTS, THH, BCS gray label and more… it's still lovely and unique and totally recommended for trying at a bar; only buy it if $500 is no big deal to you. 94.5/100

The doors have already been opened wide in terms of the capabilities of a phone, and it seems as though Google and Apple are neck-and-neck in leading the march.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 02, 2012
RoadFish.com men's lifestyle and finance magazine today reacted to the news that Google has been able to expand the scope of its new "Wallet" app by congratulating them on a considerable feat, and speculating about the future of handheld technology.
The New York Times' Claire Cain Miller reported that Google's app, Wallet, offers consumers a way to pay for purchases in store without ever taking a credit card or cash out of their wallet. Instead, the user simply taps the phone to a machine instead of swiping a card, thus eliminating the need for a wallet. Miller writes that very recently, Google hit gold with a breakthrough in the technology so that the app is now compatible with any credit card on the market, whereas in the past it was only good for Citibank and MasterCards. The app does, however, only work on a very limited amount of phones, including a handful of Sprint and Virgin Mobile Smartphones.
The above-mentioned article highlights Google's advancement as being noteworthy because the new technology eliminates the need to get permission from mobile carriers, credit card companies and other banks every time a user wants to make a purchase using the Wallet app. Miller reports that Google has essentially figured out a way to bypass having to negotiate with thousands of issuing banks regarding the credit cards in order to get the go-ahead for every single purchase. The other good feature about Google's new change is that a user is capable of disabling the Wallet app from a remote location online, in the event that their phone is lost or stolen.
RoadFish.com offered its hearty approval to Google for the breakthrough in technology. RoadFish.com's Senior staff writer is quoted as saying, "Hats off to Google for really coming through on this one. They are right there in the game alongside Apple, and I think this app is about to be a life-changer. The doors have already been opened wide in terms of the capabilities of a phone, and it seems as though Google and Apple are neck-and-neck in leading the march. I am really impressed with the way this app has progressed, and the guys over at Google who worked on this should be mighty proud."
Miller reports that companies like Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are working on other methods to allow people to use their phones to make purchases at retail stores, but the roadblock they are running into is needing the agreement of the not only the retailers but of the banks, the credit card companies, and of the phone carriers. Google's Wallet app is ahead of the game in that it uses near-field communication (NFC) which links the phones with the retailers' networks. There are reportedly around 200,000 stores currently equipped with this technology.
RoadFish.com today questioned where Smartphone technology will be down the road, now that the road is being paved to have a person's phone take on much of their everyday tasks such as making payments, accessing bank statements, and of course emailing and acting as a personal digital assistant. RoadFish.com's Senior staff writer is quoted as saying, "There are about a million things that you can do on a phone these days. In the past week, I've watched a movie on my phone, checked my emails about ten times a day, had Face Time with friends where I've been able to see the people I'm talking to, scanned a document by taking a picture of it with my phone, checked my credit report, and made bank transfers. All from the palm of my hand. It's absolutely incredible to me that phone technology has come this far in the past fifteen years, and I am so curious to see where it will be in another fifteen."
Google's Wallet app is described in the iTunes store as being something of a "flexible, personal database, where you can store all of your web passwords, software license keys, credit card numbers, and more." The financial software app does feature a military-strength encryption for security purposes and it is available in the iTunes app store for $9.99.

80 added in Wine Rack range review
Wine Rack has unveiled a range review with 80-plus new wines at a press tasting in London today.
Retail operations and commercial manager Ron Booker said the review had been the biggest change in the chain's stores in the two years since it was founded with the purchase of a number of shops from the First Quench administration.
Booker said: "We had a lot of stock come with the original acquisition of stores from the administration but this has now sold through which meant we could do some new things. We sourced a lot of new wines at Vinexpo this year."
Booker added that Wine Rack was trailing back-lit glass cabinets to merchandise spirits on the shop floor at its Weybridge, Surrey, store.
"It's working well and something we'll look to do elsewhere," he said.
The chain is still to launch its transactional website, scheduled for earlier this year, but Booker said it was "not a million miles away".

CTE: What Lies Ahead for Workers' Comp?
The summer of 2017 saw the first claims paid out to retired NFL players from the $1 billion settlement fund created in the wake of the class-action lawsuit brought by former athletes against the league. In the suit, retired players alleged that the NFL covered up evidence of the damaging neurological effects caused by repeated hits to the head.
At the root of that neurological damage lies Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE.
CTE may cause a host of cognitive and behavioral problems, including depression, aggression and violence, paranoia and impulse control, impaired judgment, confusion, progressive dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
But those symptoms may not manifest until someone reaches their 40s or 50s. The brain damage can begin decades earlier and builds over time through repeated sub-concussive hits to the head. The type that linemen can sustain dozens of times within a single game.
Linking the symptoms to CTE is difficult, though, because the condition currently can only be diagnosed after death.
The NFL controversy might have swiveled the spotlight onto CTE and raised public awareness, but it has also raised questions and concerns in other industries. There's no telling how many other professions are at risk of sustaining head trauma and developing the disease.
"As we learn more about CTE, it opens the door to other types of professions where it's not an emerging issue yet because they are not as high-profile as professional sports," said Danielle Jaffee, Manager of Government Affairs, IWP.
As research sheds more light on this neurodegenerative disease, proactive discussions about the risk of CTE can help the workers' comp industry stay ahead of the curve.
Researchers Take on CTE
The NFL settlement compensates former players experiencing CTE symptoms for medical testing and further care, but freed the NFL from admitting fault or disclosing what it knew and when about the link between repetitive head trauma and CTE.
But others are quickly filling in the gaps.
Boston University's CTE Center has identified markers in brain tissue that indicate CTE, and researchers are moving toward the goal of developing a method to diagnose CTE in living people, as well as potential treatments. It draws on a bank of 425 donated brains, 270 of which have been diagnosed with CTE.
Other entities like the Brain Injury Research Institute and Stanford University are also studying ways to identify CTE in a living brain, and what sources and types of trauma may lead to degeneration of brain tissue.
But they remain a long way off from understanding how to diagnose or effectively treat the condition.
Workers' Comp Implications
"We don't yet have a test in place that could indicate if a living person has CTE," said Jaffee. "And you can't have a workers' comp claim without a diagnosis. So while CTE hasn't impacted our industry yet, it certainly has the potential to do so."
The NFL lawsuit could provide a rough blueprint for how claims may be handled in the future, but challenges emerge in variations among states' classification of professional athletes.
Many states bar professional athletes from filing workers' comp claims or set caps on payout amounts, so claims filed in the NFL settlement won't translate directly to a workers' comp scenario.
"There are states like Kansas that define professional athletes as employees, but other states like Florida specifically exclude them. And then there are states that defer to labor union contracts," Jaffee said. "If there were less restrictions on professional athletes, you might have greater likelihood of them filing claims."
Thirty-eight former players involved in the NFL lawsuit did opt out of the settlement, preferring to pursue their own claims individually in state court.
"They're trying to force the NFL to cover CTE as a workers' comp claim, but the court system is slow and we haven't seen yet how that will play out," Jaffee said.
Even if the courts allow athletes to file a works' comp claim, it's uncertain whether they'll recognize CTE as a compensable injury due to its cumulative nature. State laws again vary in whether cumulative trauma qualifies as a workers' comp injury, and claimants will bear the burden of proving a direct link between their symptoms and their tenure as pro football players.
Despite these challenges, "I think a professional athlete making a workers' comp claim for CTE is how we're going to figure out how it works – if it works – and how we should respond as an industry," Jaffee said.
Getting the Conversation Going
In the face of so many unanswered questions, how can stakeholders in the workers' comp industry prepare for future CTE claims?
"At IWP, our goal is start a conversation around this topic with all stakeholders: the insurers who would cover claims, the PBMs that would handle the medications, the pharmacies and doctors treating the injury, and the legislators and policymakers crafting state law. Even the lawyers who could represent claimants, whether they are professional athletes or not," Jaffee said.
"We're trying to stay on top of things that will impact our industry and make sure that these discussions are happening now so that no one is caught off guard."
It will take time for further research to illuminate the details of how CTE develops and progresses, and what could be done to treat the disease before it's too late. But there is enough understanding to drive preventative measures and find ways to reduce repeated head trauma.
Even the NFL has encouraged safer tackling techniques and flag football as an alternative for younger players.
CTE might not have an impact on worker's comp in the next year or even five years, but planning ahead will yield less confusion and better outcomes for providers, payers and claimants alike.
"Through these conversations, and as we learn more about CTE, we'll be looking at our workers' comp systems and questioning if those systems are the best avenue to handle these claims. And if not, do we need to figure out a better way?" Jaffee said.
"We're here to start and facilitate that conversation so that states can effectively serve their communities in this area as it emerges."

Monsoon showers are a good respite for the dry summers . It is blissful indeed when one is at home savoring hot bajjis and watching the rain,Monsoons and bajjis are synonymous with each other . The dark clouds did promise more rain . The trees were totally dripping wet and I was observing the huge Kadamb tree which had spread out its branches near my balcony.Butterflies and trees are interconnected with each other . They have specific host plants where they lay eggs . As I was interested in rearing butterflies unknowingly I had stumbled upon another treasure – trees .Often on outings with birders when I point my camera towards a tree they too start looking in the same direction , When I tell them its a tree not a bird they do find it weird . I can keep my self occupied for hours together admiring trees , yes it may sound crazy but believe me I agree with Herman Hesse who quotes "Whoever has leaned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness."
On one of the leaves a black pattern was visible , very typical of the commander caterpillar . On having a closer look I knew my dream of locating a caterpillar on this tree had come true.
This caterpillar eats up a part of the leaf and it makes frass shield which is nothing but its droppings woven with silk. The caterpillar rests on the exposed mid rib of the leaf. The frass keeps away the ants , the caterpillar uses it as a shield. Amazing to know how these caterpillars defend themselves . This is how the commander butterfly looks like click here to know more .

Can You Pass A Saliva Drug Test With Mouthwash?
Recent experiments have shown that using a special solution called detox mouthwash is the most effective way of passing a saliva drug test if it used properly and timed carefully. The detox mouthwashes are specially designed to wipe out all traces of drugs as well as any other toxins inside a person's mouth within minutes after usage thus providing a clean saliva specimen for the mouth swab drug test. Such products like Ultra-Wash or Stinger are effective and very easy to use, they have no side effects and are safe to use, in case you follow the recommended process. Considering that simple home remedies do not help having the detox mouthwash in the pocket is the only way, which guarantees success and peace of mind for those who can be subjected to unexpected saliva test.
How it works?
The oral cavity contains salivary glands that produce from 0.75 to 1.5 liters of saliva each day, which is sufficient amount to clean mouth, lubricate food that we eat each day and to maintain the normal PH of the mouth. This means that over time chances increase, that the drug will be washed away from the mouth, giving us a negative result. Detox mouthwashes include mix of herbal and chemical fast acting ingredients, like witch hazel, aloe vera, peppermint, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride etc., and start cleansing your saliva immediately after being used. But they are also removed from the mouth as the quantity of fresh saliva in it increases and have a half-life or most effective time frame of about 15-30 minutes. So when you use the detox mouthwash, your oral fluids will stay clean from toxins for about half hour only and the working power of this cleansing solution is directly proportional to the amount of secreted saliva in the mouth and will slowly fade away as the time goes. This is a very meticulous procedure that requires a lot of attention, proper timing and strictly following the instructions.
Which is the best?
The Ultra Wash Toxin-cleansing mouthwash is definitely the best available and recommended solution, which is easy to use and carry around for any sudden saliva testing. The Ultra Wash is intended to use 15 minutes before the test as it works best during that time interval and leaves all your oral fluids free of any drugs like marijuana or cocaine as well as alcohol and nicotine.
Compared to other mouthwashes, it acts faster and work longer, making your mouth absolutely free from all unwanted toxins for up to 60 minutes or even more after usage.
How to use?
For better results, you should do your best to stay off any illicit drugs or dangerous toxins for at least 1-2 days before the test. You have to remember that the longer you stay drug and toxin free the cleaner your saliva will be and the more chances to pass drug test you will have.
At the same time, proper usage of detox mouthwash always guarantees success, while those who do not stick to the recommended procedures are more likely to fail. Below are required steps to use Ultra Wash Toxin-cleansing mouthwash:
- Always begin by thoroughly shaking the bottle to ensure homogeneity to avoid any sedimentation.
- Fifteen minutes before taking the test, sip about half of the 1-oz Ultra Wash bottle and rinse all your mouth (not just throat) with the its content during 2-3 minutes.
- Make sure you do not swallow liquid and spit it out after rinsing.
- Finally, about 5 minutes later, or 10 minutes before the deadline, carefully repeat all the above steps using the remaining amount of the Ultra Wash-Toxin cleansing mouthwash.
You should not eat or drink anything after the usage of the product and avoid chewing or smoking tobacco because external products might counteract or thwart the effect of the Ultra Wash Toxin-cleansing mouthwash.

This is the 1st box i made with legs. Quarter sawn oak makes up the sides. Legs are Walnut. The top lid is just a 3/4" stripped Maple piece i had laying around. the lid is also trimmed in Walnut. Its been pretty wet, rainey and humid here in OHIO for weeks. I cant see this top expanding anymore than it is now. So only time will tell if the lid pushes the walnut trim off when it shrinks??
Shorty after, i experimented with making 4 cabriole legs for a future box. They should be nice..

I like the legs on the box. I was wondering how it would look if the top of the legs tapered into the side of the box. Regardless, it gives me something to think about when I start building boxes.

I have a couple of cards today featuring stamp designs by Chocolate Baroque. The pretty flower, Winter Aconite (normally yellow), is another stamp from the new Spring is in the Air set.
I've used a quote from the Loving Sentiments set - it is a miracle to see flowers & plants come back to life each Spring.
I started with water colour paper and Dylusions Inks (blue, turquoise, green & purple), sprayed with water, blotted with a paper towel roll and dried with my heat gun. I blotted the ink away using water on the flowers & ground then coloured using Dylusions Inks with a small water barrel brush.
I stamped the delicate Flourish Tree from the new Fantasy Woodland Set to add the flourish design around the border with Peacock Feathers DI. Designs by my talented team mates at the Chocolate Baroque DT inspired me to use the tree as a Flourish.
I used Picked Raspberry & Salty Ocean Distress Inks around the sentiment. The die is Spellbinder S4-143.

Slightly off topic question.....Any Federal Reserve discussion in any of Qs posts for those of you who have read his posts from the beginning?
Not that I'm aware of, but the FED isn't one person, if you check the PDF that Taxed posted, I've no doubt you see the FED/Wall St connection you seek.
The Fed is the original deep state in my opinion. So deep they are independent of our government.....and I'm not an over the top Ron Paul guy by any stretch.I will check out the .pdf
Yep, granted the FED is a miserable POS, it's those connected that use it for political gain via cronyism that made it a tool of leftists, but Trump is changing all of that from the middle out.Taxed' PDF exposes just how bad it really is/was and how those in the know are either retiring and running or simply killed off.It's all connected to Hussein and Hillary and it's all coming down.
The pace seems to be exploding. I expect to see many more indictments and arrests happening soon, possibly right before the midterms, . If and when rumors about indictments for hillary and obama hit the papers, I expect the dims will turn the protesters loose to loot and burn.
Who is JC?
So THAT is who DWS is!! Thank you.Q's last post was an alphabet soup full of initials to decipher. And I was never good at riddles. <sigh>

Himalayan Climbers Can Help You Build a Successful Team
Nearly 70 years of data chronicling Mount Everest climbing excursions has uncovered an important component of a successful team. Data shows that effectiveness of teams may be hurt when team member capabilities are downplayed to promote group cohesion.
The results of an unpublished study, reported in a Wall Street Journal article, were based on research conducted on a database of 38,818 Himalayan climbers involved in 5,214 expeditions along a mountain range that spans several countries and includes Mount Everest. The researcher team, led by Jennifer Chatman, management professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, scrutinized detailed accounts in the Himalayan Database, which has compiled attempted ascents dating back to 1950.
Researchers share that whether a climbing group reached a summit depended heavily on how members handled their differences. Groups that overlooked members' nationalities and focused more on skill in assembling teams had greater success reaching summits. More climbers died during expeditions when their group ignored differences in critical skills, including Himalayan climbing experience. This happened more often when the group emphasized cohesion and failed to recognize the presence of novices with limited capabilities. Chatman called this "a perfect recipe for tragedy."
In Chatman's view, the research offers important lessons for companies. Managers should be careful about how much they "encourage teams to be cohesive because it can blind them to the very diversity that's there," she says. Also, work groups should figure out which diverse attributes are relevant to a specific task and keep those that are useful. She also advises teams to play less attention to visible attributes such as race, nationality or gender because "those are not typically closely related to task accomplishment."

Project Profile: Alison Harrell
Project Profile: Alison Harrell
The subliminal work of multimedia artist Alison Harrell uses light as an otherworldly tool to delight the senses. Accompanied by specially composed music, her latest solo exhibition, Silent Partner, at Ward Nasse Gallery, included an ambitious suite of digitally based artwork; a perfect match for the cutting edge production and design capacities at Duggal Visual Solutions.
Over nearly three months, Harrell and Duggal Visual Consultant, Zee Morin, collaborated on the multidimensional art exhibit featuring light, sound and motion. The design and execution of multiple works of art ranging in size from 5"x8" to 40"x60" included Vibrachrome ™ and Metallic Digital C prints, alongside custom light boxes made by Harrell, and an assortment of other formats. Collectively, the work amped up the futuristic feel of Harrell's figurative and abstract images.
A keen eye for detail ensured that the color and contrast within Harrell's still photographs matched the artist's expectations, while processes involving the mounting of delicate dichroic and diffraction gradient film on plexi were expertly handled by Corporate Mounting.
Overall, Harrell's scientific background and creative instincts worked in consort with Duggal's team to develop multidimensional imagery and interactive media resulting in a body of work that was both thrilling and evocative in character. The exhibition was truly an imaginative feast for the eyes, as well as a unique creative collaboration for Duggal in the world of fine art.

To holiness ancients years pass from your light.
Alive from the poison bleeding our eyes open.
Sooth the mind core fraction grasping for life.
Are we the lie passing to dawn crisp clean earth,
we are one my friends as Angels sing this day.
Take hold of love emptiness open sunrise.
Talk to me as our tall ships pass the waves,
I hold you to my heart never to meet.
loneliness I time separation exhausted falling.
Woman come to me just thoughts this equinox,
Together we are still fitting dreams of God's.
Xiazhi, sisters arise running the minds.
Our arc songkran make peace the wings,
hold us fast. Warm in touch caress me now,
look to our dreams we never die.

my laptop wont charge or boot up is there a reset button on it so thata it can turn on may some one help
Factory Recovery method varies according to make and model so please post details.
However, if it's not charging up then Factory Recovery isn't going to put that right.
Your spec says Windows 7 but you have posted on the Windows 95/98 forum - which is it?
Having said that I agree with #1. This sounds like a hardware failure and if so no reset button (if any) will fix it.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

How does my garden grow? A little strangely. Sometimes I think it resembles the cafeteria on Deep Space Nine. Around my house, we don't just eat, we eat and learn.
It isn't really my garden. It is the handiwork of my ever-inquisitive husband with an adventuresome palate. He has seen to it that our backyard has, along with the predictable, a bit of the odd and exotic. Just now we are watching and waiting on the ripening of our ice-cream fruit pods and our tree tomato fruit. Why is it that things that are almost something your familiar with, but not quite, make me nervous?
The ice-cream fruit is not ice cream, which, right away, is a problem for me. However, its insides allegedly taste like vanilla ice cream. OK, but to get to the ice-creamy fruit, you have to crack open a long, bumpy, green pod that looks like a mutant string bean or maybe a dinosaur toe. You'll never see Ben & Jerry's packaged like that.
The tree tomato, I have learned, is also called a tamarillo and is native to South America. The fruit looks rather like a Roma tomato except it is said to have a flavor "that suggests a mild or underripe tomato with a faintly resinous aftertaste." Hmmmmmm. I remember downing retsina wine in Greece, so we'll see.
At first, the tamarillo plant grew straight up with large oblong leaves, looking just like Jack's famous beanstalk. No sooner had I expressed my delight in that, then it dropped all its lower leaves, leaving a naked stalk saved only by the pretty orange bunches of fruit at the top. I love the leaves, too, of the ice-cream fruit tree outside my kitchen window. The odd pods may grow on me.
Meanwhile, I am about to pluck the pumpkin off my roof. Well, it's actually on our patio overhang, where it seems to thrive. My spouse plants a pumpkin vine each year, pruning it to a single gourd in hopes of growing one of those really giant ones. We have only gotten medium to largish thus far, but my mad scientist-botanist husband continues his experiments.
So far, I've seen no strange, meat-eating plants to feed, but it is that time of year, now isn't it?
Leave the farming to my husband

It's an update-a-palooza here lately, and that's always a good thing. Good apps become great apps with regular updates and improvements. In the last couple of days three popular apps have received important updates. Those apps are Facebook Beta, Skype, and WebApps. Let's look at the new features.
Facebook Beta
In version 18.104.22.168 of Facebook Beta the ability to un-friend people and un-like pages has been added. No longer will you have to get out your computer to clear out friends lists or old interests. The update also addresses a bug that was making notification counts stick around longer than they should. Download Facebook Beta for free here.
The Skype app continues to get better with each update. In version 2.8 they have made some improvements to start and resume times, which will make users very happy. They also switched the live tile count back to the old style of showing number of unread conversations, rather than unread messages. Skype is available for free here.
WebApps is a very handy app that turns mobile apps into pinnable apps. The latest update of WebApps, version 1.4, takes this functionality to the next level with the addition of live tiles. Now not only can you pin your favorite mobile site, but it will also show recent content from that site right on the tile. WebApps is a very cool app, and it's available for free here.

← Programs / Science / Biotechnology
Program Summary
Biotechnology applies the principles of biochemistry and biology to the study and manipulation of living organisms for industrial, medical, agricultural and environmental applications. Some areas of biotechnology include genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, personalized medicine, drug development, applied microbiology and fermentation techniques, and biological control of insect pests. In the Ottawa area, local companies and government agencies are involved in projects such as biofuel production from agricultural waste, the development of medical diagnostic screening devices, and the development of new anti-cancer and antimicrobial therapies—in other words, biotechnological solutions to real world everyday problems.
The Carleton advantage
Leading-edge curriculum
What you learn in the classroom has its foundations in active biotechnology research by our faculty and graduate students. Professors integrate some of the results of their research into course material. In thirdand fourth-year courses, students have the opportunity to interact with biotechnology professionals from the Ottawa region.
Collaborative research programs exist between Carleton University and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, the Canada Food Inspection Agency, Environment Canada, Health Canada and the National Research Council Canada. Some of the current areas of research in Biotechnology at Carleton include:
- molecular carcinogenesis;
- bioremediation;
- fungal genetics;
- plant biotechnology;
- antibiotic development and resistance;
- detection of food-borne pathogens;
- cryopreservation of organs and tissues; and
- development of liposomes for the delivery of drugs.
Hands-on laboratory experience
A high proportion of our Biotechnology courses feature instructional laboratories, providing you with extensive opportunities for hands-on laboratory work. Because of this training, Carleton graduates are widely recognized for their excellence in technical laboratory skills.
In addition, all Honours students in Biotechnology have the opportunity to develop a research project in an area of special interest, working alongside a faculty advisor.
Not only will you graduate with exceptional experience with some of the most up-to-date methodology, but you will also have a defined area of expertise.
Excellent research facilities
As a student in Biotechnology, you will be working in a laboratory for many of your courses.
Carleton University is well equipped with the latest technology, including a scanning electron microscope; fluorescence and light microscopes; cell, tissue and bacterial culture facilities; a wide range of modern molecular biology equipment; computer laboratories; and controlled-environment rooms and chambers.
Carleton students also have access to modern spectrophotometers, a mass spectrometer, automated gas chromatographs for chemical analyses and nuclear magnetic resonance facilities.
Co-op opportunities
A flexible co-operative education (co-op) option is available in Biotechnology, allowing you to gain practical work experience in settings such as government laboratories and agencies, as well as biotechnology companies.
The capital advantage
Due in part to Carleton's location in Ottawa, the nation's capital, our programs and faculty have developed strong links with government departments, world-class hospitals, medical research facilities and high-tech organizations. You will have access to faculty members involved directly in the scientific community. As well, our location provides unparalleled access to science-related employers such as Environment Canada, National Research Council Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
The program
Bachelor of Science (Combined Honours)
Carleton University offers you two programs in Biotechnology: a Combined Honours program in Biology and Biotechnology, and a Combined Honours program in Biochemistry and Biotechnology.
Both programs emphasize the fundamentals of organism structure and function, physiology, biochemistry and genetics.
If you choose the Biology/Biotechnology program, you will follow a course of study that places emphasis on the cell and organism level. You will be focusing on areas such as animal and plant physiology, cell biology, microbiology, ecology, industrial biochemistry and molecular genetics, in addition to your Biotechnology electives.
If you choose the Biochemistry/Biotechnology program, your focus will be on the subcellular and molecular levels in areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, biomacromolecules and industrial biochemistry, as well as Biotechnology electives.
Individual faculty supervisors help tailor your fourth year around your research thesis.
First-year experience
The Combined Honours programs in Biology/ Biotechnology and Biochemistry/Biotechnology have a common first year, which provides a basic grounding in chemistry and biology. The department also offers a number of combined programs.
First-year Seminar in Science
First-year science students are encouraged to enrol in our unique seminar course Seminar in Science (NSCI 1000), designed specifically to introduce you to the latest scientific issues and to help you develop the kind of communication, analytical thinking and research skills you will need for your science studies and your career. If you choose this elective, you will attend several special lectures given by prominent Canadian researchers, as well as small group seminars led by a professor who acts as both your mentor and teacher. With no more than 30 students in each seminar, you will have plenty of opportunity to debate and discuss topics with your professor and fellow students, as well as be exposed to a variety of teaching styles, concepts and research opportunities usually reserved for upper-year students.
Future opportunities
The workplace
Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world economy. Graduates find career opportunities in many areas including biotechnology companies, medical research and DNA diagnostic facilities, government agencies and laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry and the agricultural sector.
Graduate studies
Graduates of our program are well qualified to go on to graduate studies in a variety of fields including biotechnology, biochemistry, toxicology and genetic engineering. If you think that you may wish to pursue an advanced degree, you are encouraged to investigate graduate programs early to ensure that your program meets the relevant requirements.
Professional programs
Many professional programs, including medicine and teaching, are interested in attracting well-rounded applicants from a variety of backgrounds.
Biotechnology provides a strong foundation for such programs, and you are encouraged to pursue interests you may have in these fields after completing your undergraduate degree.
What students are saying about Biotechnology
The general nature of the first two years of the Biotechnology program exposed me to many topics and allowed me to see what areas of the field drew my interest. In upper years, the freedom to choose from a wider variety of courses allowed me to follow those interests and become more specialized in my education. The lab courses and honours project taught me many useful bench skills, and seminar courses taught me how to write in a scientific context and how to disseminate scientific information. I was able to get to know some of Carleton's leading researchers and make important contacts within the local science community. Coming out of this program, I feel well prepared for my future in science whether I decide to pursue a career in medicine or research.Anand Chopra, Biology and Biotechnology student

Previous analysis and industry focus has missed the point: access networks, not data centres, are the biggest threat to the sustainability of cloud services. This is because more people are accessing cloud services via wireless networks. These networks are inherently energy inefficient and a disproportionate contributor to cloud energy consumption.
