Hello Happy Heels! This stuff is HG for me.
I've suffered from extremely dry, cracked heels for years - as I only wear sandals and open toed shoes when I can. Since moving to LA, the water has further dried out my heels and they were a complete mess, peeling off in bigger pieces and no amount of buffing would help. (Interestingly, buffing cracks only really makes it a whole lot worse, not to mention super ugly!)
Armed with the reviews here on MUA, I ran straight to CVS!
My heels were almost instantly better the next day and even though I've not been diligent about reapplying daily, I try to use this at least twice a week for maintenance and so far, so good! Texture wise it's not greasy and absorbs well - just give yourself about ten minutes to let dry (more if you have the time), wipe off the excess and carry on with your day!
The only complaint I would have is that the tube is quite big so I've distilled it into a smaller bottle for travel. Otherwise, this is one of the cheaper treatments on the market - yes, the packaging doesn't look all that sexy but honestly - who cares when it works miracles?!
Key Ingredients: Moisturizers such as Aloe, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Lanolin, Glycolic Acid, and Tea Tree Oil
Centipeda Cunninghamii is a unique Australian herb clinically proven to have skin nourishing properties, which aids in the softening of hard, thickened skin.
Urea promotes hydration by increasing skin's water binding capacity and decrease water loss from skin's surface. It also helps to dissolve rough and dry skin through keratolytic action.
Glycolic Acid also enhances the exfoliating properties.
Does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Salicylic Acid, Parabens or Gluten

This is the best heel balm I've ever owned, my feet are in the best condition that they've ever been in thanks to this product. I don't even use it that often but my heels are no more chapped, dry with hard callouses. I've got nothing bad to say about this. The packaging could be a little prettier but never mind that!

This stuff is perfect! My go-to product because I have really painful cracked heels. I usually file my feet and then apply this stuff before bed. It's about $10 Canadian at drugstores, and has lasted me about a year of frequent use. I've repurchased already and definitely will again.

Want soft feet? Yeah? STOP reading this and open a new browser tab and look up the Baby Foot Peel first.
I have no clue how I was lucky enough to find a product like the peel. Works exactly how the reviews say it will. Check out my review on makeupalley too! (It's an essay :P)
Anyways, my sister was the one who showed me Flexitol heel balm. Works like a charm. I just happened to start using this balm right after the dead skin peeled off (from the peel, of course) making it so much easier than scrubbing my feet with a pumice stone!!
I just want to strongly enforce the fact that I don't believe either the peel I used or this balm seperately would've done as good a job as they did together. IT's like PB&J.
After soaking feet in warm water (a night time pampering ritual for myself), I pat my feet dry and put the balm on the top of each foot and rub my feet together like a monkey. No seriously, I rather not take the time (and waste product) by putting on my hands before applying to my feet (although, I must say I think this makes a great hand cream) and then having to wash off my hands. This stuff lingers and I learned that the first night using it.
So yeah, after rubbing feet together, they aren't greasy per-say but you can definitly feel the product on your skin. So what I do is put socks on top. I hate socks absolutely hate them but I rather feel socks on my feet than balm spreading onto my legs, sheets, etc. Throughout the night the stuff absorbs. I've only used this stuff for about a week. The first night was enough for me to feel softer feet even after the residual balm washed off in the shower the next morning. Like I even forgot to put some on yesterday and it's still really soft and moisturized..
The one totally ironic thing about this heel balm is that it makes everything plump and soft EXCEPT my heels. Lol. I guess I need to apply more/often but so far my toes are baby soft. LOL..
I constantly wear flats/heels/flip flops which torture the skin on my feet so I will definitely be keeping this in my arsenal. (And the Baby Foot Peel too!)

I loved Flexitol for years but the last tube I purchased did not work at all. The consistency was also different from previous tubes. I called the company and they told me to send them the tube. I did that and have not heard from them since. Terrible customer service (although a free tube would not be welcome because of the product quality).

This cream is a little gem! with my job i'm on my feet most of the day, so my heels aren't so much cracked, but they are a rough.. I use a pumice stone in the shower around my heels and then just rub this in afterwards and my heels feel so soft and silky smooth!!! its a definite must have for your beauty box!! I've tried all sorts of creams for softening and none of them have even come close to making them as soft as this stuff!

I use this when I don't use my Gehwol salve. I think it's great. It is hard working and is absorbs quickly. It really doesn't leave my feet feeling greasy. I have used this off and on for about four years now. It's worth the money especially if you have bad feet like me!

I'm on my feet all day with work and they were callused and cracking. THIS STUFF WORKS! Within a few days of putting it on at night - all of the problem area was gone.
I have a tradition of giving stocking stuffer gifts of products I've found that year that REALLY work to friends and relatives for Christmas. Last year everyone got Flexitol Heel Balm :)

I'll just say right out the gate - my feet have become a total mess. I used to get fairly regular pedicures that kept my feet looking semi normal. For the past few month, I've slacked off on just about every beauty front and, let me tell ya, no where is this more apparent than my feet. Now that I'm getting back into grooming like a normal human again, I knew I had to do something about my nasty heels. I bought this based on the user reviews here so, thanks all you gals before me!
To be honest, my feet in general are actually pretty good. No weird nail thing going on or "hammer time", if you will. The only real problem are my dry heels which seem to be getting worse as I get older (yay, old age!). First off, I live in a hard water area which is murder on skin in general. Second, I hate socks and slippers and tend to wear flip flops in my uncarpented house all the time. As cool as flip flops are, they're actually fairly hard on your feet after a while. I've tried doing the thick moisturizer/sock routine at bedtime but even sleep doesn't stop my hatred for socks. I end up pulling them off sometime during the night and frankly, no amount of lotion is going to help my sad soles.
As I said, I bought this based on the reviews here. When I got this last week, my feet were probably at their grossest. I'm talking thick layers of skin on my heels that catch on sheets, clothes and anything else. I have a smoothing file but honestly, those things are a bit of a joke. I ended up starting to pick at the skin and pulling it off which is as gross and painful as it sounds. I was tempted to try the Ped Egg but having shaved off layers of skin off my feet before, I wasn't too keen on limping around again. I've used this lotion as directed (one in the morning and once at night) and it has miraculously transformed my feet. Granted, they're not totally smooth because as I said above, my feet situation was pretty dire as of late, but my feet are actually beginning to resemble those of human being who hasn't been kicking flour around.
The only downside to this lotion is it's a bit sticky. Seriously, that's the only downside. I can deal with the smell or parabens or whatever else because this works. I'm thrilled I finally found something that does what it says it will and is under $10 (I believe I paid $5 for this). I'm also thrilled that this can be used only when it's needed. I plan on getting a long overdue pedicure in the near future and then using this as a preventive measure. If you're hesitating about buying this because of complaints about the smell or whatever else, don't - get this lotion. If it worked on my jurassic feet, it will certainly work on yours!

Landscape and Lace: Cache Valley
By Megan Mitchell. Fences, doors and windows indicate an intersection between inside and outside, public and private. These porous boundaries provide enclosure while also allowing access to an outside world. I am drawn to these divisions in space both as aesthetic and metaphorical objects. They are the point of departure for an exploration of the intersection between real and imagined worlds. 'Landscape and Lace: Cache Valley' juxtaposes the structural framework of a fence with a landscape inspired by Cache Valley. My intention is to provide a sense of both containment and spaciousness. The piece also contains a decorative element which is derived from a sample of lace. I use this pattern to further the dialog between inner and outer spaces.

The new Wilson College Music Club is proof that music is indeed the universal language.
A love of music brought a disparate group of people together this spring to form a club that many thought was noticeably absent. The fledgling group, which recently was granted official approval from the Wilson College Government Association, was inspired by an email from Dr. Jose Cordova, professor of Spanish, asking whether anyone on campus would be interested in an instrumental music club.
"He got more interest than he thought he would," said club president Allie Shastay, a junior majoring in biology. "It sort of took on a life of its own," added Jeffrey Montwicki, an adult student majoring in veterinary medical technology and serving as the club's secretary.
Cordova's inquiry tapped into an underlying interest among many students who played instruments growing up, but had no music outlet at Wilson.
"I just wanted to play my clarinet more," said club vice president Lindsey Sutton, a freshman who's played since 5th grade. "I wanted to be in a group where I could just play and have fun with it."
Shastay, whose instrument is the alto saxophone, played in concert, marching and jazz band in high school. "Whenever I started at Wilson, a band was one of the biggest things I wanted," she said. "When Jose suggested this, I jumped on it."
The students are facing considerable obstacles, including the lack of a conductor, people to play certain instruments, and coordinated sheet music, but they are cheerily taking any growing pains in stride.
For now, the group meets one evening a week in the dining hall, according to Shastay, whose grandfather is her inspiration. "We have a short meeting and then introduce material to each other."
Students typically separate to practice parts and then come together in smaller groups to see if they can play a composition together. "It's organized chaos – and I mean that in the best possible way," said guitarist Montwicki.
Sometimes by fortuitous coincidence, several students have sheet music for the same song. Other times, they try to make it work without written music. And there are other options, including free music available online.
"The library also has sheet music, but it's not organized," Shastay said. "We have access to resources. It's just a matter of getting it started."
The group planned to put on a concert before the spring semester's end, but ran out of time, according to club adviser Cordova, who said Wilson graduate Gloria Massa '47, a retired music teacher, has been volunteering as a conductor.
Cordova said the group is seeking donations of instruments and hopes to be able to present a concert next fall.
All are welcome to join the club. Percussionists and brass players are especially needed.
The ability to create a new club or organization is one of the opportunities offered to students at Wilson College.

NXT jousting: Early rider concepts
In the first rider I'm including here, I've just put together some quick concepts of what a rider might look like. The claws I rarely have a use for, so I thought using them for legs might save some other beams for the mount. I used the main body (with head/eyes) for the 2nd rider... (I'm also including a photo of the exploded 2nd rider for view of all the required pieces).
The 2nd rider design uses more of the dark gray pieces, but it's still fairly light weight and does resemble a rider (maybe not...).
These are just ideas... not final designs. I'll be curious to see what Brian and/or Matthias come up with...
5 comments:
Interesting -- I had envisioned the 'rider' as being something which had to hold the lance, but I'm definitely not seeing that from these pictures.
It is funny how different people can see in their mind's eye vastly different things using the same words.
Jousting does not always involve knocking the opposing rider off their mount. Usually there were other competitions as well. These were often precision contests and if you find difficulty with the full on NXT vs NXT competition may provide some inspiration.
You may find some inspiration from this page. Or from that page's referencing page.
Keep this going, this is fun to watch!

thanks for the links that complement the ones I've posted in some recent comment.
Primarily, I too envisioned the rider holding the lance (which is the "natural" way) - yet, when having thought the challenge over, I'm considering it pretty difficult to do the splits between having the rider loosely coupled to the mount (hence being able to getting knocked off) on one side and him holding the lance and providing a firm stroke with the lance without being knocked off by this stroke by himself on the other.
So I suppose separating the rider and the fix point of the lance is a good (yet simplifying and somewhat inaccurate) concept for the beginning.
- May 23, 2006, 6:22:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
There is nothing to prevent the lance from being connected to the 'arm' with a pin connector or the body... the beams making up the arm and body are oriented with the holes along the same axis as the rear portion of Matthias' lance.
But in reality, I had never considered connecting the lance to the rider... 2 reasons:
1. The lance, if even slightly bumped, would knock the lightweight rider off.
2. the lance, connected to the mount, might make for more interesting collisions should the lance hit part of the other mount instead of its rider.
- May 23, 2006, 7:45:00 PM
In true competitions, a lance hitting a mount or rider, or indeed, any target except the 'shield' of the opposing rider would disqualify whomever did so.
I envision large blocking/deflection devices on the front of the mounts now to prevent having your NXT skewered by the opposition.
Part of the challenge (again, in my mind) was going to be making a rider capable of staying on the mount and holding the lance (not pinned in, but more 'balanced' by the riding unit) without getting knocked off by the opposition. It would mean figuring out how to increase the friction between mount and rider to be higher than the opposition -- or to figure out how to make the lance gain more leverage.
As said early on, it's a sticky problem, so as you develop the rules, it'll be interesting to see where you go.

For the sake of simplicity, I would sugest using a "knock-down" flap as a rider. Piece together some 7 long liftarms and atatch it with friction pins. WHen it gets hit it will fall backwards as a clear symbol that the other robot has won.

Barrow biomass opposition continues to grow
Last updated at 14:41, Thursday, 31 May 2012
MORE than 8,000 people have said they do not want a biomass plant in Barrow.
Anti power station group Furness Opposes Biomass has revealed it has collected a further 3,000 signatures since a fiery public meeting with Centrica two weeks ago.
The company, which announced plans for an 80-megawatt power station at Roosecote in October last year, has said although the consultation process is over, it is still keen to hear from residents during the planning process, with an application expected to be submitted within weeks.
FOB's Scott Symon said support for the group's cause was continuing to grow and he believes the petition is one of the biggest ever collected in Furness.
He told the Evening Mail: "The petition currently stands at more than 8,000 signatures.
"We have seen a significant increase in the last few weeks and I think it may be Barrow's biggest ever petition. The one against Furness Academy gained 6,000.
"We have noticed there has been some criticism that the petition is not representative for the whole of Barrow.
"In response to this we will be spreading out further afield to areas such as Dalton and Ulverston. But we are really pleased with how it is going and the support is quite incredible.
"We thought we might have reached saturation point, but then the forms keep coming back with more and more signatures.
"We are still contacting people who don't know anything about the project. However, we now feel that we have the public behind us."
Mr Symon said the group would be holding roadshows throughout Furness to speak to people in areas outside Barrow, as the group didn't want to be seen as only representing the views of people in areas immediately surrounding the plant's proposed location.
The group is opposed to the development for several reasons and has raised fears about what long term health effects could occur from having the plant in the area.
More than 400 people have voted in an online poll over whether or not the plans should be scrapped, with 60 per cent of respondents calling for Centrica to pull out.
Centrica said no decision on the plant had been made and that it would continue to listen to residents' views.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "Centrica Energy has a 20-year history in Barrow and remains a significant employer and investor in the area. As part of our investment plans we have proposed a new 80MW biomass power station to replace our gas fired power station which will close in the near future.
"Clearly, the proposal does not yet have planning consent and we will continue to reflect on and listen to all views regarding this proposal before any final decision is made to take this project into the construction phase.
"While the formal consultation process has now finished, people are still able to submit their views to the Planning Inspectorate on the proposal.
"We believe biomass is a safe and clean technology and the proposed plant would meet some of the strictest emission levels in the world. The need for the UK to replace its ageing gas, coal and nuclear power fleet with low carbon generation has not, and will not, diminish and so we need to consider the position carefully."

Have your say
Intelligent comment, well done. If property prices is the issue, why isn't it an issue for those living next to a Power station at the moment? Maybe because property prices has nothing to do with it. Might be because people are concerned about the health implications of burning biomass?
Hypocrites the lot,property prices the real issue here.

Why I Teach
I believe that students gain their knowledge in different ways. Therefore, I try to bring a variety of formats for learning into the classroom in order for everyone to benefit from the experiences. Education is indeed an opportunity for people to develop their cognitive, existential, emotional, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence.
I encourage my students to open themselves up in all these areas as they learn course content. Teaching is a privilege, and I am honored to have the chance to teach.

Last week, we hosted Ice House Facilitator Training here at the Foundation. We had people come from across the country and the international community to be trained in how to facilitate an entrepreneurial mindset to members of their community. I had the chance to sit down with one of the facilitators, Rob Elwood, and learn about his reason for coming to this training, and how he sees it benefiting his community in Annapolis, Md.
"CODE2040 is a unique and dynamic program that creates access, awareness and opportunities for top minority engineering students to ensure their participation and leadership in the innovation economy." CODE2040 places students in internships with top tech companies and provides them with mentorship, leadership training, and network development.
In this installment of my Ice House series, I sat down with Ice House alum Chris Vallee to learn first hand what he got out of the entrepreneurship program. Vallee, an intern at the Kauffman Foundation, attended the program two years ago at Johnson County Community College. Signing up for the class by chance, he quickly found a new perspective on the decisions he had been making in his life, and a renewed, invigorating urge to chase the life goals he had let fall by the wayside.
Kauffman Labs is not your typical classroom, but then again, Nancie and I are not your typical instructors. In fact we do little in the way of instruction in the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program (IHEP) and focus more of our energy towards facilitation. Students are encouraged to explore, experiment, solve problems and learn from one another. It's not what they're used to, but I think they liked it. It gave them the opportunity to expand their idea of education beyond the confines of absorption and regurgitation. It's about learning from the experiences they have with each other.
As an entrepreneur in residence, I'm responsible for a wide variety of projects ranging from program management and storytelling to mentoring and teaching, the latter being the main focus of this and future blog posts.

Some people are born rich, but it is the self-made billionaires who inspire people more than anybody else. While most entrepreneurs won't end up in the 10-digit club, there are lessons to be taken from these elites.
Most people are motivated more by the work they do and the environment in which they work than by the money they earn. Therefore, the compensation and reward systems you offer to employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas.
Think of yourself as a bottle of Gatorade®.Why? Because when sales of the neon-colored beverage went flat last year, Gatorade's marketing team rebranded the drink by touting it as a health-oriented, before, during and after sports drink. Although the ingredients are probably the same, the pitch changed.
Caroline Mak and her boyfriend Antonio Ramos loved the taste of ginger, but didn't like the sugary-sweet taste of ginger ales and ginger beers on the market. They weren't spicy enough, nor were they adequately tangy.
As your business grows, plan a method for recruiting and hiring the very best people you can find. It will be important to hire the right top managers and let these managers recruit and hire the staff.
More and more successful companies are taking a holistic approach to serve specific market niches or verticals. Instead of offering a broad-based horizontal solution that may service a larger market, but require more customization and will likely involve competition from larger players, these companies are finding success 'below the radar' by staying focused on a narrower segment.
For entrepreneurs, the importance of cash flow cannot be overstated. Simply put, no cash, no business. Perhaps it's a good time to re-examine a few concepts about accounting and finance.
When you get out there thinking you're the most important member of the team, you're headed for failure, says Wally Amos. The founder of Famous Amos Cookies found out the hard way that you can't just indulge your whims and let the chocolate chips fall where they may. How he developed a spiritual understanding, recovered his good name and started a new, more successful company serves as a great recipe for other entrepreneurs.
This entrepreneur, passionate in the belief that Internet commerce was a huge opportunity, weathered the risk and realization of being an early player in the dot.com arena. Read how this CEO and cofounder overcame personal fear and desperation to heed the advice of the company's first board director.
The essence of entrepreneurship, say many entrepreneurs, is the ability to see and act on opportunity.

His marriage to Ruby , trouble having kids, Important part of the watch , adoption of Brick with a little background and some great insights into interspecies relations. He came from even lower down the food chain than Vimes . While not the most major character i still think he's come a huge distance over the books .
raisindot wrote:For a main character, I'd have to agree that Vimesy is the most developed, considering what he was at the beginning of the series (a stumbling drunken buffoon who only near the end rose to reach his potential) to the veteran, powerful, world-changing supercop of Snuff.
In second place I'd put Moist Von Lipwig, since he's really the only main character (other than Vimes) who really does a great deal of soul-searching about who he is and what he stands for.
In terms of continuing characters who are protagonists, I'd say Vetinari. He started off as an oafish, one-dimensional dictator, and by Unseen Academicals he had developed to the point where he could start publicly analyzing the nature of tyranny in a drunken state.
inca wrote:Actually, I think Vetinari has developed quite a bit. More subtle and less obvious, but in the start of Guards, Guards he confesses that he deliberately has stunted the Night Watch and the city is actually not working that well - which is why Carrot comes in after all.
Also, his manipulation in those earlier books is quite crude.
In later books, he manipulates far more subtle without any display of force or threat at all, just by deliberately not saying anything at all. He respects Vimes opinion and position more, still using him for his own purposes but not with the same disregard - taking the badge away in Men at Arms is basically just cruel, and nothing of the sorts is done more recently.
He even shows doubt in Thud, about the handling of the grag.
So I think both the style of manipulation and his goal towards a city that 'just works' have refined in times.

We've said it before, and thousands of Corvette lovers agree: The '67 Sting Ray was likely the closest of the Midyears to perfection, given that its fifth-year-of-production status led to the best build quality at St. Louis Assembly, and given many Vette devotees' fondness for the '67's styling and powertrain choices. So, how does one improve on that?
Jeff Cleary decided to go the Vette Rod route when he decided to build his '67 Sting Ray convertible. But the car that you see here didn't start with the first "project-ready" '67 that he bought. "The first car that I purchased, to build this car, I ended up re-selling it," he says from his Chesapeake, Virginia, home. "That's because it had some rust damage in it, and I didn't want to go through the expense and the time repairing it. That's because it really slows down the build, along with costing more money, because those things are very tedious and time-consuming to try to get done correctly."
A further search led him up to Maine, where the Corvette that he found that far away from home was far away from perfect-or intact. "It was just a cowl-back kind of derelict car," says Jeff. "The bonus of this thing was that the 'birdcage' was very good. It had actually been stored inside a garage, so that the birdcage was in excellent condition." Instead of going the restoration route, Jeff decided early on that he would Vette Rod it, taking advantage of later-generation Corvette chassis technology. As Jeff puts it, "I wanted to use the new suspension-I wanted a higher-performing suspension and a much better ride, as well."
With that decision made, an aftermarket frame would replace the original one. Jeff chose SRIII Motorsports' round-tube C2 frame, and he has no regrets at all about making that choice. "Hands-down, they're probably one of the best vendors that I used during the build," Jeff says without hesitation. "Mike Stockdale-as I see in the magazine all the time-anybody and everybody who's ever dealt with him has given him rave reviews on his product and how great the customer service is." Another reason why Jeff picked SRIII's frame was that it was up to the job of handling the power of Jeff's chosen engine. "I definitely didn't need anything that would turn into a pretzel," says Jeff.
And what engine did Jeff choose? How about a very-early-production LS7, one of the early ones out of The General's Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. "I managed to get that through Davidson Chevrolet, up in Canton, Connecticut," Jeff says. "I know the owner there, and he managed to use a little persuasion to get one of the early-release engines." Jeff had a few upgrades in mind for the LS7-namely custom MSD ignition wires, a Katech "Torquer" hydraulic camshaft, and relocated coil packs.
But one big upgrade was made to the engine bay-it was modified to fit the factory Z06 air bridge. Unlike on most Vette Rods where the air cleaner is a 90-degree elbow and filter element off the throttle body, Jeff's '67 pulls fresh air from behind the grille to produce maximum horsepower. This required building a custom radiator core support and designing/building a hood hinge system that lifts the hood "up and out" over the header bar, much like that found on newer Corvettes.
To some observers, that upgraded LS7, and the custom three-inch, Flowmaster-muffled exhaust system it breathes through, make up the only sound system in the car. Not so, says Jeff. "We hid the system in the rear compartment behind the convertible top and fabricated a cover for it which houses the subwoofer and the two rear channels-there are two front channels, the two rear channels and the subwoofer. The entire system is driven from a 40-gig iPod and an Alpine 5 channel amp."
Whether or not that iPod is plugged in, what's it like when Jeff plugs himself into his '67 and takes it out on the road? "It's kind of like Jekyll and Hyde, because it rides so nice and feels like a new car but then you stab the throttle and the response is ridiculous...borderline violent," he says. "The car weighs just over 3,100 pounds, and it produces over 560 rear-wheel horsepower-which is about 620 horsepower at the flywheel. It doesn't matter what gear you're in, it's just a rocket!" Almost like being launched off an aircraft carrier? "Next to it," the former Navy man-a veteran of many catapult-assisted takeoffs from carrier flight decks-says with a laugh. "It's definitely a quick ride."
Are you planning on building a fine ride like Jeff's Midyear? "I'd hate to think that someone would start with something worse than I did," Jeff says. "I'm echoing a lot of the same things that Rich Lagasse said and preached with his Split Personality C2. That is, try to find the most complete car you can, one with no more parts on it than what you want, but no less than what you should get, including all the trim and the hard-to-find parts. You can really get into trouble quick, in terms of cash, to try to obtain all those things."
And, as Jeff shows us, staying out of that trouble while building a Vette Rod like this is one way to make the '67 Sting Ray "more perfect."

Cinco de Mayo
The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas.
Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War.
The French Army left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy -- as European countries traditionally did.
Under the command of Texas-born General Zaragosa, (and the cavalry under the command of Colonel Porfirio Diaz, later to be Mexico's president and dictator), the Mexicans awaited. Brightly dressed French Dragoons led the enemy columns. The Mexican Army was less stylish.
General Zaragosa ordered Colonel Diaz to take his cavalry, the best in the world, out to the French flanks. In response, the French did a most stupid thing; they sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them. The remaining French infantrymen charged the Mexican defenders through sloppy mud from a thunderstorm and through hundreds of head of stampeding cattle stirred up by Indians armed only with machetes.
When the battle was over, many French were killed or wounded and their cavalry was being chased by Diaz' superb horsemen miles away. The Mexicans had won a great victory that kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate rebels for another year, allowing the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen. This grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, essentially ending the Civil War.
Union forces were then rushed to the Texas/Mexican border under General Phil Sheridan, who made sure that the Mexicans got all the weapons and ammunition they needed to expel the French. American soldiers were discharged with their uniforms and rifles if they promised to join the Mexican Army to fight the French. The American Legion of Honor marched in the Victory Parade in Mexico, City.
It might be a historical stretch to credit the survival of the United States to those brave 4,000 Mexicans who faced an army twice as large in 1862. But who knows?
In gratitude, thousands of Mexicans crossed the border after Pearl Harbor to join the U.S. Armed Forces. As recently as the Persian Gulf War, Mexicans flooded American consulates with phone calls, trying to join up and fight another war for America.
Mexicans, you see, never forget who their friends are, and neither do Americans. That's why Cinco de Mayo is such a party -- A party that celebrates freedom and liberty. There are two ideals which Mexicans and Americans have fought shoulder to shoulder to protect, ever since the 5th of May, 1862. VIVA! el CINCO DE MAYO!!

SEASIDE — Sheriff Mike Adkinson told South Walton County residents Tuesday that he will crack down on underage drinking and excessive noise during this year's spring break.
Adkinson spoke at a town hall meeting hosted by County Commissioner Cindy Meadows on the challenges presented by thousands of visiting college students. About 80 residents, business owners and local officials attended.
He warned residents to expect another record year for spring break along the county's 26 miles of beach. Since 2011, the numbers have soared, with much of the college-aged crowd gathering around the Whale's Tail in Miramar Beach and stretching east.
"To be honest with you, when you have those numbers of people coming here, you're going to have these problems," Adkinson said.
He said he plans to increase the number of deputies he deploys by maximizing "the use of overtime" to deal with the influx of visitors.
"At two points last year we had two crowds in excess of 10,000 on the same day," Adkinson said. "And crowds can get out of control."
He also appealed to the public for help.
"When you identify a chronic problem, make us aware of it," he said.
After the first major crush of college students last spring break, Adkinson took a random sampling of arrests and found that most of them had been visiting South Walton since they were children.
Dawn Moliterno, director of the county's Tourist Development Council, said the area is beginning to see the children of its loyal tourists returning as spring breakers.
"They are coming back to their beaches and they're in college," she said. "They have disposable income and they're not always well behaved."
Moliterno reminded the audience that the TDC markets to families, not the spring break crowd. But college students who are familiar with the area are likely to choose it as a destination.
The key to a more orderly spring break is making sure the students know the ordinances that govern behavior on the beach, Adkinson said.
Last year, the Sheriff's Office made 50 arrests, most for underage drinking, on the first day of spring break.
Adkinson said he plans to have the same level of enforcement this year.
"We're trying to set the tone on the first day," he said.
Adkinson said beach safety — and adherence to the warning flags — is a top priority.
"These waters can be extremely treacherous when people don't follow the flag system," he said. "We are going to strictly enforce that."
Some residents along County Road 30A told Adkinson their communities are having problems with even younger spring break visitors.
Robert Davis, founder of Seaside, told Adkinson the town was having major problems with out-of-town middle school children "drinking, doing drugs and having sex on the beach."
Most the children are visiting from the Atlanta suburbs and are left largely unattended by their parents because Seaside has created such a safe environment, Davis said.
This year, town members plan to promote more family activities such as campfires, sing-alongs and hot dog roasts to drive the troublemakers off the beach, he said.
"We're going to occupy the beach, especially when those Atlantan hordes descend upon us," Davis said.
Adkinson agreed that the younger teenagers are a problem. He said this year deputies will try to saturate the beach communities at night and hold problem juveniles in custody until a parent can pick them up.
Other concerns raised at the meeting included excessive noise and parking problems.
Adkinson said major improvement in those areas won't come until county commissioners approve tougher noise and nuisance abatement regulations.

It wai finally announced tbat the Democratic County organiza¬ tion did not intend to interfere in school matters and Dr. Burns then yoted for the Republican candidate, Dr. Cooley, who wa^ declared elected. The meeting at whicb the superin¬ tendent was elected was called at tbe residence of Director Baker and it was to this that Director Smitb objected, as he'questioned the legality of the call of the meeting and the matter was taken to tbe State Department with the result that the election of Dr. Cooley is confirmed. Long Island Regatta at Long Beach Notwithstanding strong opposition put up by the Flushing clubs, the Brooklyn rawing organizations won their fight on the question of time and place for the annual Long Island re¬ gatta of the association, held at tbe Crescent Athletic Club in Brooklyn. The regatta will be held July 27 at Long Beacb. Some of the differences which have so long existed between tbe opposing factions were wiped away by the elec¬ tion of a Flushing man to the Presi¬ dency, to succeed Dr. R. J. Bell of the Otescents, who has held tbe position for four years. The new incumbent, Robert Pelton of the Seawanhaka Row¬ ing Club, was the originator of the Long Island Rowing Association in 1885.

The second agency is topography, and the third geology, both of which may be considered absolutely stable. The fourth is surface vegetation, which in¬ cludes forest cover and cultivated land. The fifth consists of artificial agen¬ cies, such as storage reservoirs and drainage, which produce rapid and marked efTects on river discharge. "When tbe physical conditions on the drainage areas are summed up, the one great change that haa oeen pro¬ duced in the vegetative conditions is the reduction of forest area. On some of these drainage areas it has occurred by slow progression and on others more rapidly.
