Tampons cause sewage build up

Ordinary tampons can detect sewage pollution, a new study shows.
Testing for sewer pollution from leaky pipes or illegal drains can be expensive and time-consuming. For example, in 2007, contractors repeatedly poured dye down the toilets at Milwaukee's Miller Park stadium to track down one misconnected pipe. But deploying tampons in streams and stormwater systems offers several advantages over these traditional methods, the research suggests.
"It's cheap, it's easy and it does the detective work," said study co-author David Lerner, a professor of environmental engineering at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.

Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner

A controversy has erupted on social media about whether Jenner should be getting the award, rather than more deserving canidates. Prominent among those candidates is Noah Galloway, who lost most of his left arm and leg as a soldier in Iraq, then went on to become a distance runner, personal trainer, motivational speaker and, recently, a third-place finisher on Dancing with the Stars.

If you like Obama, you like terrorists.


Long War Journal reports that the Obama administration has released Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri from a U.S. prison – not from Gitmo, but from a civilian jail after a federal terrorism conviction.The Department of Defense announced Wednesday that five Yemeni terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay had been transferred out of the facility, despite renewed concerns from lawmakers about the risks of releasing detainees. 
The newly transferred prisoners had been held for more than a dozen years. The men had been cleared for release since at least 2009, but the U.S. has balked at repatriating Guantanamo prisoners back to Yemen, where the government is battling an Al Qaeda insurgency. 
All five were captured in Pakistan and detained by the U.S. as suspected Al Qaeda fighters

Porsche Cayman GT4

Porsche has given its mid-engined Cayman the full-on GT treatment, with the new GT4. The race-focused Cayman shares some of its components with the 911 GT3, but eschews its double-clutch gearbox for a more involving six-speed manual transmission on the way to a 7:40 laptime around the Nurburgring Nordschleife.Porsche's new Cayman GT4 will debut at the Geneva Motor ShowUnder the Cayman's shapely bodywork hides a 3.8-liter, flat-six engine derived from the 911 Carrera S. The motor produces 385 hp (283 kW) at a lofty 7,400 rpm, making the GT4 the most powerful Cayman ever. That's powerful enough to shoot it from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 183 mph. (295 km/h)

Blog - Post Assessment

My favorite restaurant is hands down TGI Fridays. The closest Fridays in our area is located at 379 Route 17 Wood Ridge, NJ. It is a very popular chain resturant here in the United States.






This is a standard menu from TGI fridays. These pages highlight what items are served from the grill, what desserts are available and the selection of black angus steaks. Fridays serves comfort foods such as burgers and french fries along with steaks and a wide variety of appitizers. The first TGI Fridays opened in 1965 at the corner of First Avenue and 63rd Street in New York City. The biggest reason for this resturant being my favorite is the fact that they have unlimited ten dollar appitizers!
