Frequently we are asked about other so-called "natural products" (products based on ingredients found in nature, but not naturally found in human skin). Skin Biology believes it is best to use products that simulate the skin's natural skin oils and processes and which are found in human skin. Plant products often have toxins and poisons to keep from being eaten by insects and mammals and differ from what is found naturally in human skin.

Docutils is short for "Python Documentation Utilities". The name "Docutils" was inspired by "Distutils", the Python Distribution Utilities architected by Greg Ward, a component of Python's standard library. The earliest known use of the term "docutils" in a Python context was a fleeting reference in a message by Fred Drake on 1999-12-02 in the Python Doc-SIG mailing list.

The name came from a combination of "StructuredText", one of reStructuredText's predecessors, with "re": "revised", "reworked", and "reinterpreted", and as in the re.py regular expression module. For a detailed history of reStructuredText and the Docutils project, see An Introduction to reStructuredText.

Our site is named for a beautiful pigeon who was called Bucky. He was an orphaned baby bird back in 1978 when we took him in and raised him, planning to set him free as soon as he was able to care for himself. Unfortunately, a defective wing prevented him from flying and safely living in the wild. So he lived with us, until his death in 1996. Because his memory and our love for him live on, we have named this website in his honor.

Actually, Rolex has never referred to the Day-Date watch as a "President". However, the BRACELET we are used to seeing on the Day-Date is known as a President, since one was fitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower's watch during a service overhaul in 1956 -- the same year the Day-Date was first introduced. And as a little known trivia fact, President Eisenhower's watch wasn't even a Day-Date..

A master piercer is someone who has mastered the field and the art of body piercing. This term is not given from some big organization as there is none in the piercing industry. This title is earned through hard work and dedication and is given to a piercer by his/her peers, no person can just call themselves a master piercer.

Other spiritual paths, in the view of the Course, all lead to the same goal of awakening to God, each in their own unique way.
