ARLINGTON, Texas — Terrence Magee ran for two touchdowns after halftime, Zach Mettenberger threw for 251 yards with a key late score and 12th-ranked LSU held on for a 37-27 victory over No. 20 TCU late Saturday night.
Odell Beckham's 75-yard kickoff return set up a 20-yard TD pass from Mettenberger to Jarvis Landry with 6 minutes left.
All in all, despite a crucial fumble and a three-and-out in the fourth quarter that kept the game uncomfortably close, the Tigers' first game with new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron calling the plays provided a promising start to the season.
And that replenished defense after losing a team-record eight players to the NFL draft came up with some key plays.
B.J. Catalon returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 26-yard run for TCU, the two-time BCS buster now in its second Big 12 season.
TCU started in Tigers territory after a shanked 28-yard punt after the three-and-out. But the Horned Frogs' drive was hampered when Trevone Boykin was sacked and fumbled. They recovered the ball, but had to settle for Jaden Oberkrom's 39-yard field goal to get within 30-27 with 7 1/2 minutes left. Then came Beckham's big kickoff return.
Before that, Alfred Blue's fumble set TCU up at the 6. Waymon James' 5-yard TD run made it 30-24 with 13 minutes left.
Magee ran 52 yards for a touchdown less than 2 minutes into the second half put LSU up 23-10, three plays after an interception by Jalen Mills — one of only three full-time returning defensive starters for the Tigers. Magee added a 2-yard score later in the third quarter.
The Tigers gained 448 total yards against a TCU team known for its defense. Even after moving from the Mountain West to the Big 12 last season, the Horned Frogs led their new league in total defense.
LSU was up 13-3 when 270-pound fullback J.C. Copeland plunged in from a yard out early in the second quarter.
But Catalon returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD, with only one LSU player even getting a hand on the speedy running back. That tied for the second-longest return in TCU history, behind only a 105-yarder against Texas in 1933.
While LSU coach Les Miles had been deliberately vague to keep TCU guessing on Jeremy Hill's status following his offseason arrest for throwing a punch outside a bar, didn't play.
TCU was without reigning Big 12 defensive player of the year Devonte Fields, who was also in uniform without playing. He's serving a two-game suspension for an unspecified violation of university and team policy during the offseason.
No. 8 Clemson 38, No. 5 Georgia 35: CLEMSON, S.C. — Tajh Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two others, Clemson's defense sacked Aaron Murray four times and the eighth-ranked Tigers stung No. 5 Georgia 38-35 Saturday night.
Boyd had scoring passes of 77 yards to Sammy Watkins, 24 yards to Zac Brooks and 9 yards to Stanton Seckinger. Boyd also added TD runs of 4 and 2 yards to win the lone matchup of top 10 teams in college football's opening weekend.
The Tigers took the lead for good, 31-28, on Chandler Catanzaro's 24-yard field goal in the third quarter. Georgia had a chip-shot try for a tying kick on its next possession, but couldn't get if off after Nathan Theus' bad snap .
Two series later, Boyd led a 12-play, 87-yard TD drive that ended with tight end Seckinger tip-toeing the sidelines to get in.
Georgia's Todd Gurley ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
No. 15 Texas 56, New Mexico State 7: AUSTIN, Texas — In his first two seasons, two first-half interceptions and a deficit to a big underdog could have easily sent Texas quarterback David Ash to the sideline as someone else took over for the Longhorns.
Not Saturday night. Texas stuck with Ash this time and the junior quarterback made the big plays to first spark a rally, then delivered the knockout punch as the Longhorns overcame a slow start to roll over New Mexico State 56-7.
Texas trailed 7-0 late in the second quarter before Ash threw touchdown passes of 54, 66, 74 and 25 yards, and ran 55 yards for a touchdown for the Longhorns, who rolled up a school-record 715 yards of total offense.
"The guys are older now. We've been in that situation ... and we've failed before," Ash said. "So much of football is about morale and believing."
Ash threw two interceptions in the second quarter and the Longhorns' new up-tempo offense stalled before Ash connected on long touchdown passes to John Harris and Daje Johnson in the final two minutes of the first half.
In the third quarter, Ash turned a scramble into a 55-yard touchdown and passed to Malcolm Brown for a 74-yard score. After falling behind, Texas (1-0) scored 35 points on 15 snaps in an avalanche and Ash accounted for 434 total yards.
"We started off obviously slow," Ash said. "(But) you feel that momentum shift when things start rolling. We're a good team when that starts happening."
Andrew McDonald was 32-of-46 passing with one touchdown, but also had two turnovers for New Mexico State (0-1), who went 1-11 last season.
Texas came into the season touting its new fast-paced offense and the new confidence displayed in training camp by Ash. Even coach Mack Brown had said his team is ready to challenge for the Big 12 title and return among the nation's elite.
No. 1 Alabama 35, Virginia Tech 10: ATLANTA — Christion Jones became the first Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech 35-10 on Saturday.
Jones scored on a 72-yard punt return less than 2 minutes into the game, then scooted loose on a kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown that led the Crimson Tide (1-0) to a win that could've been much tougher to start its quest for an unprecedented third straight national title.
For good measure, the junior receiver also hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter to blow it open against the Hokies (0-1), who largely shut down AJ McCarron and Alabama's highly touted offense.

Fourteen people are dead and 19 others injured after a devastating tour bus crash on I-95 on the Bronx-Westchester border early Saturday morning.
The bus scraped against a guard rail, flipped onto its side and was sliced in half from end to end by the support pole for a large sign, reported the Associated Press.
The World Wide Tours bus was headed back to New York's Chinatown after a trip to the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut.
New York State Police Major Mike Koby said police are in the early stages of a criminal investigation into the accident. Police have interviewed the driver of a tractor trailer traveling through the area at the time of the accident. Koby also said that the tour bus driver may have been speeding.
Many of the passengers on the bus lived in Chinatown, according to reports. An assistance center has been set up at the New York City Police Department's Fifth Precinct on Elizabeth Street in Chinatown, where victims' families can receive information and counseling. Mental health workers from the Westchester Red Cross are among those assisting victims' families.
All southbound lanes of I-95 have been reopened, according to the New York State Thruway Authority.
Fairfield Patch contributed to this report.

The importance of landscape connectivity was first recognized by conservationists more than 20 years ago, when groups such as the Wildlands Network (then known as the Wildlands Project) and Yellowstone to Yukon proposed regional efforts to achieve conservation on a continental scale. The Wildlands Network seeks to create "megalinkages" of habitat down the entire length of North America and along the Eastern Seaboard; Yellowstone to Yukon envisions connections throughout more than 500,000 square miles of the United States and Canada. While many conservation biologists support them, these goals long seemed out of reach. But climate change, which is expected to force animals to move uphill and toward the poles in search of more hospitable habitat, has helped corridors gain broader traction among environmentalists, philanthropists and policy-makers. "Funders tell me, 'Every organization walking through here now mentions connectivity,' " says Kenyon Fields of the Wildlands Network.
Fields, who is based in Washington state, leads a working group through which representatives from several conservation groups attempt to include connectivity in federal land agency planning. The working group is currently battling to keep connectivity language in proposed revisions to the Forest Service guidelines, and in President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative. "But the real task," says Fields, "is to move the ball beyond sunny policy rhetoric and vagaries to action on the ground."
In many cases, that means gaining support not only from scientists, conservationists and agencies, but also from a broad spectrum of private landowners and other interests. In their campaign for the Path of the Pronghorn, Berger and his colleagues were careful to recruit diverse allies. They held town meetings and solicited input from locals. Ranchers and hunters, who might have opposed the corridor, signed on, as did the extractive industries in the area. One major holdout still remains -- the Bureau of Land Management, which has not enacted any additional protections for pronghorn on the portions of the corridor that cross its land. When corridor supporters met with then-Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal, "he got the concept immediately," says Berger. "He told us to show him agreement was gathering from the ground up. It was appropriate and that's what we did."
Freudenthal not only backed the Path of the Pronghorn, but also took the concept to the Western Governors' Association, a coalition of 19 Western states and three Pacific islands. In 2007, just before the Path of the Pronghorn got Forest Service protection, Freudenthal championed a WGA policy resolution called "Protecting Wildlife Migration Corridors and Crucial Wildlife in the West." Since then, a WGA habitat council has been working to create user-friendly online tools for corridor planning, coordinating region-wide information on wildlife habitats and building a West-wide database of existing corridors. It's easier said than done: States collect data on wildlife within their boundaries, but in different ways, and states can be territorial about their data. Nor is there any legal requirement that land managers incorporate any of this information. Nevertheless, the WGA recently unveiled Arizona's Habimap.org and the Southern Great Plains Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool. This will help coordinate efforts in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to model crucial habitat, including corridor connections, for the lesser prairie chicken, which is in the initial stages of listing under the Endangered Species Act.
The Western states can draw inspiration from at least one previous collaborative effort to protect migrations on a grand scale. In 1986, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Division of Bird Habitat Conservation established a program to protect migratory birds across North America. Canada and the U.S. signed a North American Waterfowl Management Plan that included several regional efforts. One of the most successful of these is the Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture, in which not just federal agencies but also states, nonprofits, private landowners and hunting organizations like Ducks Unlimited share scientific data and collaborate on protection of migratory flyways over multiple jurisdictions. Sam Hamilton, the former Fish and Wildlife Service director who died unexpectedly in 2010, expanded this model to include multiple species. He established Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), defined by ecoregion across the nation and even over our borders, to promote landscape connectivity and interjurisdictional cooperation. These LCCs are just getting under way, beginning, as such endeavors often do, by aligning models and datasets so they can be used by everyone involved.

With LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Westchester set to open on March 27, 2013 at Ridge Hill in Yonkers, the attraction is looking to build the final piece of its creative team — the Junior Construction Panel — and today launched an online search to find the tri-state area's most creative and brightest youngsters to join the panel.
The Junior Construction Panel will consist of 12 imaginative and energetic children between the ages of 6 and 12 to serve as ambassadors for LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester throughout the year. If selected to the panel, winners will receive a special "box of imagination," an annual pass to the attraction and work alongside LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester Master Model Builder Mike Tocidlowski, to help finish plans for new LEGO® models, provide input on what features could be added and best of all, give their official approval when the attraction opens this spring.
In addition, the school with the most entries for the Junior Construction Panel will also be entered for a chance to win a visit from Master Model Builder Mike Tocidlowski.
"We are excited to find imaginative and passionate youngsters to be part of our Junior Construction Panel," said Chris Mines, General Manager of LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester. "Children are ideal consultants for providing feedback in shaping the experience their friends will enjoy at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester. The panel gives kids the opportunity to work with Mike, express their creativity and input and give their seal of approval on the attraction."
How to apply for a spot on the Junior Construction Panel:
With the help of a parent, guardian or teacher, MINI model builders will create a brief news report video, no longer than 90 seconds, about why they are the area's biggest LEGO fan or about a LEGO model they've built.
All videos should start with the line, "My name is (INSERT NAME) and I am a LEGOLAND Discovery Center MINI model builder and I want to be on the Junior Construction Panel because…"
The video should be uploaded to YouTube and the MINI model builder's information, including the name, city and state of the MINI model builder's school; the parent, guardian or teacher's email address; and the YouTube URL of the video, should be filled out on the form at http://on.fb.me/TGSyaP on LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester's Facebook page.
Applicants can also send their entry by email to email@example.com and LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester will upload the video to YouTube.
Entrants will be judged on creativity, enthusiasm for LEGO and their LEGO models. With the deadline extension, the competition will now close on Tuesday, February 19 and the Junior Construction Panel will be chosen and announced by LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester's panel of LEGO experts on Friday, March 1, 2013. For full details, visit the attraction's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LDCWestchester or Panel search Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/TGSyaP.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

Sandra Mastroianni, owner Cactus Gallery, is calling for community support after she was cited by Los Angeles Police Department officers on Saturday evening for hosting live music and serving alcohol during the Eagle Rock art institution's final reception.
With a court date for the liquor citation pending on January 3, Mastroianni took to Facebook to request that supporters send letters "explaining that Cactus Gallery has NEVER sold alcohol."
Mastroianni told Patch on Monday afternoon that Cactus's closing reception was a festive but slightly somber affair. She admits that there was live music—comprising an acoustic guitarist and three backup singers—as well as wine that was being served free of charge.
She said that 10 LAPD officers in squad cars arrived at the gallery, at which point they issued her the citation for serving wine and demanded to see a permit for hosting living music.
"There were like 10 cops—what a waste of money," she said. "I don't sell liquor, I sell art. This is a community place. The cops had never come to my gallery before. I never gave them a reason to."
For Mastroianni, the police presence at Cactus was a sour way for the community to say goodbye to a gallery that had hosted 84 Second Saturday Gallery Night receptions.
"It was a sad night and they just made it sadder," Mastroianni said. "Everybody that was here was upset. It's like they were kicking me in the rear-end on the way out. It wasn't a private party, but these were all friends of ours."
Supporters on Mastroianni's Facebook page have rushed to her support, criticizing LAPD for what they consider and overreaction to the service of wine at the gallery, a common practice among gallery owners.
However, according to the Alcohol Beverage Commission's trade manual, Mastroianni may have been in violation of the law, even if she wasn't selling liquor.
The manual states: "Giving, selling, or furnishing free alcoholic beverages at an unlicensed salon, clothing store, jewelry store, art gallery, etc. is not legal (California Business & Professions Code Section 23300). Businesses like these will be considered illegal bottle clubs if alcohol is provided to, or consumed by, customers (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Sec. 25604)"
Highland Park-Mount Washington Patch left a message with LAPD's Vice Unit and is awaiting a call back.
Cathi Milligan, NELAart director and owner of the Glass Studio in Highland Park, said that the punishment did not fit the crime.
"Of all of the places to harass, Cactus Gallery? Four cop cars is absolutely unnecessary," Milligan said. "One of the most dedicated galleries in NELA, and that's how she goes out? With a really bad taste in her mouth."
The cops don't know what's going on here, they don't know it's gallery night."
Milligan was also concerned that the police action would enhance the community's distrust of Councilman José Huizar, whose office in 2011 was accused of seeking to impose on MorYork Gallery owner Clare Graham.
"The same people that blamed Huizar for MorYork closing are going to rehash and have the same argument," Milligan said. "That's ridiculous."
Huizar's office denied ever mentioning fees to Graham. On Monday, Council District 14 Field Deputy Zenay Loera said that the councilman's office was unaware that the police action had taken place at Cactus. She added that CD 14 had not received any complaints about gallery night activities in recent memory, either.
A larger concern for both Milligan and Mastroianni is that gallery owners would be fearful of holding receptions in the future, for fear that they may be cited as well.
"They're gonna kill the artwalk," Mastroianni said. "That's what it looks like. As soon as the cops came everybody left."
Milligan said such police action may have a cooling effect on owners who are potentially attracted to the neighborhood.
"Artwalk will die with this kind of stuff. Nobody's going to want to participate in this," Milligan said. "We need their business, or we cease to exist. Otherwise this cute little part of the neighborhood will die and and people will say 'see, nothing good ever happens in Highland Park."

Tim Worstall, Contributor
I write about business and technology.
Update: there is a further post on this subject here. If Warren Buffett isn't really paying the corporate income tax then we should perhaps abolish the corporate income tax.
Warren Buffett's got a piece in the New York Times today. A piece in which he makes a very strange claim about the rate of tax that he pays.
Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.
What he says, with the qualifications he uses, is true as far as it goes. It is, however, extremely misleading, because he's left out the effect of the corporate income tax.
The Forbes E-book On Warren BuffettThe $59 Billion Philanthropist, chronicling 50 years of Buffett's investment savvy and unprecedented giving, is available now for download.
There are essentially two conceptual ways in which you can tax dividends. You can tax them as income to the people who collect them: this was the system in the UK, my home country and is effectively the system now. Or you can tax the profits at the corporate level and then dividends are tax free to the recipients. Several continental European countries use this system.
The United States is different: it has elements of both systems. First, corporate profits are subject to the corporate profits tax, some 35% currently as the headline rate. Then dividends are taxed again in the hands of the recipients at the rate of 15%. This means that the effective tax rate on Buffett's dividends from Berkshire Hathaway was not the 15% that he's using in his calculation above (the 2.4% to take the total to 17.4% is presumably referring to the capped social security taxes and the income tax on his salary, not dividends).
Assume there's $100 of profit which is to be paid in dividends under each of the systems.
In the UK dividends are paid out of post tax profit, as in the US. However, that tax that had been paid on the corporate profits becomes, to the dividend recipient, a tax credit. If you are a lower rate taxpayer no further tax is due on the dividends received. Only if you are a higher rate taxpayer do you pay tax on the dividends taking your tax rate up to the same as it would be from any other income. So if corporation tax is 28%, your tax rate on your dividends is 28%, already paid at the company level. Or if you're in the higher bands, 40 or 50%, just as with any other income (and yes it does get very much more complex but this is good enough) and made up of your paying further income tax on your received dividends.
There are tax systems where there is no tax on dividends at all: a higher corporate tax rate being used instead.
So in the UK system from $100 of profits that are to be paid as dividends the tax rate is 28% (the current corporate income tax rate), or $28, if you are a lower rate taxpayer or $40 ($28 at the company level, another $12 individually, at the very top, another $22) if you are a higher rate taxpayer. Tax rates of 28% or 40% or 50%, very similar to other income sources.
In the US system from our $100 first we take $35 at the corporate level. Then we take another $15, or the dividend tax rate of 15%, from the recipient. Giving us a tax rate of 50% on dividends. We've taken $50 from the total amount that was to be used to pay dividends.
Your math is a little off. First you take $35 out for corporate profits as you say then 15% for the dividend. Well assuming the dividend is then $65 the taxes would be $9.75. Which adds up to $44.75 which is not 50% of 100.
The main problem is there are only 8,900 individuals who fall into this category in the first place. In the second place not all of them fall into exactly the same category as Warren Buffet. In the third place he has hired people to make sure that he only pays the small amount that he does. Finally HE CAN PAY MORE IF HE WOULD LIKE TO. Thirdly the effective tax rate in the USA on Federal taxes for people making between $50,000 and $200,000 is closer to 10.5% for those making between $1,000 and $50,000 it is closer to 4%… So well… I am assuming when he is talking about those in his 'office' they are people making more than $250,000 household income and he is including Federal, State, and Local taxes in the 50% cause I know they can be taxed as high as that via income, Social Security, property, Medicare, State Tax, and sales tax combined… But again, his math is VERY fuzzy. And I am more than happy to place on anyone who has over a Billion in net worth a 75% tax on all income earned if they wish.
More then 8,900 people can and do take advantage of these tax loopholes. I have many clients that are able to take advantage of many of the same loopholes Buffet does just to a lesser extent.
To your 3rd point Buffet was talking about taxes paid as a percentage of taxable income not total income. If you earned $100,000 but deduct $25,000 your taxable income is only $75,000 if you paid taxes of 35% that would come out to $26,250 or 26.25% of total income but 35% of taxable income. You have to be very careful when talking about taxes that you exactly understand the terminology or you end up with very misleading and wrong figures.
The corporate tax rate should not be a part of the discussion of whatever amount Warren Buffett, as an individual, is reporting as income and taxed at. Let's review:
"Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent."
Notice he said that the 17.4 percent — on taxable income after all deductions — included his personal income tax, his personal payroll, and the employer's part of the payroll tax paid on his behalf. Anything said about anything else other than that is mere surplusage and is not relevant.
Your math is off. Each person in the $0-128,000 pays Social Security and Medicare on their income, then pay income taxes on the rest. Also the employer matches the SS and MEDI taxes which should also be attributed to the employee's tax burden (as well as income). So the lower end of the income group pays 15+% off the top then pays their bracketed tax rate on the remaining resulting in 15-45% tax rate.
Social security and medicare are regressive taxes since those above $128k do not pay taxes on the amount exceeding $128k resulting in a higher SS and MEDI tax burden for lower income earners.
As a tax accountant this article really makes me laugh. Some of the basic assumptions in this article are so far off base anyone that has actually completed a schedule D before knows he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. Then he goes on and on about corporate taxes even though ZERO percent of Warren Buffet comes from corporate profits. LOL what a tool. Do yourself a favor buddy and just delete your whole article. Do some on Warren Buffet, how income is classified and how corporate taxes actually work. Especially on how a corporation can pay the owner a wage which is expensed to the company so they don't have to pay corporate taxes on it or stock options that the employee can hold for 1 year in order to pay the 15% long term gains tax instead of income tax on.
Perhaps you should read Buffet's own comments from his interview with Charlie Rose about where his money comes from before spouting off:
"Buffett told Rose his 2010 adjusted gross income was $62 million. He implied that most income came from long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends currently taxed up to 15%."
Perhaps somewhere in Bizarro World Accounting dividends and long term capital gains have nothing to do with corporate profits, but here in the real world they are directly related.
Just wanted to point out that your argument could also be said to payroll. The corporation is taxed prior to paying their employees. Therefore anyone who gets a check from their employer also had to pay 35% more in taxes based on your argument. So, if they also had to pay 35% more in taxes, Buffet still paid a considerable amount less.
Incorrect. Corporate taxes are paid on profits, not earnings. Thus, companies don't pay taxes until all employees and expenses are paid (this is why business owners try to write off things as business expenses as much as possible).
The problem is that the 35% corporate profit tax is just that a profit tax. Profits = income – expenses and deductions. Companies can pay low or near zero taxes if they use that formula correctly and still issue dividends. For example, Apple reportedly has stockpiled $78 Billion in cash in a contingency fund. My guess is that that savings has not been taxed because of how it is legally characterized. The company could use that money for dividends or other investments without paying additional income tax. Mr. Buffett may be accounting for all of these nuances in his simplified numbers.

I have been using this soap for a while and like it, though not for all face or body. If use it as ordinary soap, it makes skin quite dry and you immediately will need lotion after it (especially in the region where i live the water is quite hard). The reason I rate this product 5 stars is because it is perfect for cleaning my nose. I use it instead of cleaning pore 'nose strips' and it does the job! I found it much cheaper than buying those with even better effect. So i would recommend this soap for anyone with oily or normal skin who wants to use it for cleaning nose, but definitely will not recommend it for dry skin. Oh, and I enjoy the smell, it smells like dessert!
My favorite soap so far

Rapport qualité/prix très correct! La découpe du savon est très sympathique; les bords sont arrondis, ce qui permet une utilisation plus agréable. L'odeur est divine; elle me rappelle celle du chocolat à l'orange. ^^ Hydrate correctement et forme une mousse serrée et onctueuse. Comparé à d'autres savons, il se pourrait qu'il fonde un peu plus rapidement (contient des petites particules d'avoine), mais rien de grave.
Love, love, love this soap!

I love the smell, and i love how it cleans my sensitive skin, without drying or irritating my skin. I look forward to every shower with this bar soap!

ACV Gargle
[YEA] 12/27/2009: Ravi S from Dallas, Texas, United States: "I would like readers to try this. Add two tablespoons of ACV to lukewarm water and gargle all the way from your deep throat. Check the contents of your ACV water BEFORE and AFTER. All the more, if you are a vivid caffeine fan. You would notice all the gunk come out in lumps. Then you can imagine what it can do to your entire system. However ACV is not for everyone. Gargling, anyone can do, but if your stomach is of acidic nature, please be cautious using ACV INTERNALLY."
ACV Rash
[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/02/2010: Carol from Tucson, Az: "I've been taking ACV with the Mother for about two months. 2 tablespoons in 4oz of water, 2x/per day. For the last 2-4 weeks I've noticed a slightly raised/slightly rough circular rash on the leftside of my body about the size of a quarter. Mostly on the left cheek on my bum & left thigh. Lately I've noticed these same circular rashes about the size of a dime on my chest & neck. I've heard of the Healing Crisis, meaning that my body is releasing toxins through my skin but yikes! Has anyone experienced a rash breakout after taking ACV for a length of time?"Replies
12/03/2010: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe replies: "Take less and more diluted."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/03/2010: Storage Girl from St. Louis, Mo replies: "I have experienced the same rash you are talking about while taking ACV. Then, I tried to apply it to the rash, which made it worse! :v( Thinking it may be an allergy to ACV? Not planning to take ACV anymore - despite the benefits."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/03/2010: Jeff from Nashville, Tn replies: "Hi Carol,
The same thing happened to me after about 6 months of ACV. I originally thought it was a scrape from moving tree branches, but when it did not heal I thought ringworm. Tried everything and it got worse and I noticed new small patches(20-25)forming on my body. Turns out to be Pityriasis rosea. Look this up.
I also wondered if the detox process of ACV may have triggered this. If yes, so be it. I will always have ACV in my life and have lost 15 lbs without even trying! As far as the Pityriasis rosea, all you can do is stay clean, cool, and dry. (G--- Bond Powder seems to help) It will eventually start SLOWLY fading away."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/03/2010: Joyce from Lansdowne, Pa replies: "I have been taking ACV for acid reflux and I also noticed a small rash on my upper back near my arm. It does not hurt. It is there until it goes away then another one comes up nearby. I also believe that it is toxins coming out of my body."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/03/2011: Misha from Binghamton, New York replies: "I am absolutely shocked to read this post! Years ago in college I came down with the Pityriasis Rosea rash. I was told that this condition rarely reoccurs. However, when taking apple cider vinegar for about a month, again I had the unsightly, very uncomfortable Pityriasis Rosea condition again! I am thinking that this might be some sort of healing crisis."
09/03/2011: Tee from Philadelphia, Pa, Usa replies: "I am currently taking ACV with tap water and I noticed I have a rash on my left thigh. It's like a light spot about the size of a quarter. When I was little I used to get those spots, but smaller on my cheek from time to time. My mother said they were yeast spots. I guess from eating too much bread of starch. So maybe ACV is detoxing our body from too much yeast in our body and that's why we get those spots. They go away in about a week or two."
07/28/2013: Misha from Binghamton, New York replies: "Hey Earth Clinic Friends! It's back! I posted on this site back on 4/03/2011 about taking ACV and a resulting Pityriasis Rosea rash. I discontinued the ACV at that time, and waited about 3 months for this condition to clear up. Just recently, I started to take the ACV 3x a day before meals 2 tsps diluted in water for about 2 weeks and I have Pityriasis Rosea AGAIN! This is the third time I have had this rash and when I first got it, my doctor and numerous websites have noted that it is usually something you get once in a lifetime; rarely twice. But this is the third time! At this point, I don't care. I am going to continue to take the ACV because it has done wonders for my energy levels, even though I haven't seen any weight loss yet."
07/28/2013: Larry from Fairfax, Va replies: "Your skin rashes may have been caused by excessive amount of toxins released into the body when the ACV may have inadvertently too quickly killed-off a large amount of bacteria or fungus; this is known as the Herxheimer reaction. I have had this type of thing happen to me recently."
07/29/2013: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe replies: "Misha, how about lowering your dosage?"
ACV Vs. Other Types of Vinegar
09/16/2011: Mercedes from Bogota, Colombia: "Hello,
I have question- I bought a bottle of vinegar and it states that the compound is vinegar, it never says that cider vinegar is the source of it and besides says it has apple flavor and caramel color. For me it is just plain white vinegar flavored and colored. Does white vinegar have the same qualities of cider vinegar and both have and share the same nutrition facts and help to fight illnesses in the same way as cider vinegar?
If I continue having this white colored vinegar as if it were cider vinegar, would it eventually do me any damage?
When having white vinegar, what would be the answer just talking about health? I do have one tablespoon of it with half of a cup of hot water.
Thanks for your answer.
09/16/2011: Liz from Boston, Massachusetts replies: "Apple cider vinegar is made from the juice of real apples, diluted with water to 5% acidity. The white vinegar you mentioned won't hurt you. The amount you're taking is no more than you would find in a serving of salad dressing."
08/14/2010: Terry from Qulin, Missouri: "Is pure sodium acetate anhydrous powder safe to dilute in water and drink?
I know about the Apple Cider Vinegar and sodium bicarbonate to make sodium acetate, but vinegar and I do not get along. I cannot even stand the smell. If so, how much would you use? Example 1/8 teaspoon etc thanks"
EC: Material Safety Data Sheet:
06/14/2010: Gumby from Haiphong, Vietnam: "Are the curative powers of Apple Cider Vinegar also found in other kinds of vinegar? In the country where I live, they don't sell ACV but there's plenty of rice vinegar and I've even seen banana vinegar.
How much of the ACV benefits are due to the acetic acid which is present in other kinds of vinegar too? Are other kinds of vinegar also beneficial, even if ACV is better? Can one substitute other vinegars for ACV with good results? Thanks."
07/09/2010: Abid Ali from Islamabad, Pakistan replies: "U have many options to use vinegar. Best option is to make Apple cider Vinegar at home. It is very easy. U can find so many articles on the net on how 2 make ACV at home. However other vinegars are also very good and can subsitute the apple vinegar. But the best option is to make it at home"
01/19/2012: Jay(sc) from Sumter, Sc replies: "I had warts, and tried the duct tape with the cotton balls with some success. I started taking a quick swig from the bottle at night and in the morning, and now my hands have cleared up. I have also noticed that when I do take it at night, I don't have heartburn. This is my exp. though."
03/15/2010: Msg from Somewhere, Europe: "Can lemon juice be used instead of acv in all (most) of the remedies?"Replies
03/16/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "I would have to say that I disagree completely with the_phoenix's conclusions. I regard taking lemon or lime with baking soda as the major factor that helped me to successfully cure my candida. My understanding of the use of lemon and lime or ACV with baking soda came after my own long period of use and experimentation (4 years).
For me, lemon and lime with baking soda is the most useful because:
* It provides good citrate and ascorbate balance between sodium and potassium electrolytes.
* This remedy both alkalizes the blood as well as the internal body cell environment.
*As Ted has said, the lemon or lime remedy normalizes many biological parameters including pH, ORP, phosphates, bicarbonates and antioxidants of vitamin C.
I also use the ACV and baking soda remedy, but usually only if I need more energy, because the malates formed from the malic acid in ACV are utilized in the Kreb's energy cycle of cell metabolism and respiration. But I also use methylene blue or hydrogen peroxide internally, they are usually just as good as ACV, if not better, for increasing the efficiency of cell respiration and increasing energy levels in general.
I've also found, from personal usage, that lemon or lime plus baking soda seems to actually alkalize the body better than using ACV. As Ted says, ACV and BS only alkalizes the body to a pH of 7, whereas the lemon and lime remedy normally alkalizes the body to a higher and more balanced level.
Also, in the_phoenix's post, I note that she gives many reasons for her belief that ACV is better than the lemon/lime remedy and then afterwards, with no further critique on lemon/lime -- no reasons -- she concludes:
"Lemon juice has different properties[WHAT DIFFERENT PROPERTIES?] and hence is NOT a suitable subsitute in most cases although it is also an organic acid and contains potassium."
Here is what Ted from Bangkok offers and concludes regarding the ACV and Lemon/Lime remedies:
"In my opinion the best formula to use is the lime-baking soda formula, after drinking it many biological terrain parameters would be normalized the best."
The judgements the_phoenix offers are neither fair or good enough in the criticisms of the lemon and lime remedy.
Remember that people who have no experience at all read EC, and I would personally hate to think that I would mis-advise or mislead anyone concerning any of the remedies here."
10/27/2011: Don from Rodeo, Nm replies: "Hi Bill, in the Philippines, you mentioned lemon or lime with baking soda. Would like to know the recipe for that. Would you share that with me? Thanks, Don"
10/28/2011: Wildtriangle from Oxford, England replies: "Check out: http://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html
Hope that helps"

does anybody know if tangerine organic vinegar has the same benefits as ACV?
Thank you,

Additional Comments
11/12/2008: London from Sandusky, Ohio : "APPLE CIDER VINEGAR IS A TRIP. Listen to this, I usually use, 100% organic vinegar with Mother, always, but lately I have not had a chance to order it online. So I bought a bottle of regular ACV from the supermarket."Heinz". I notice fruit flies swarm around it like crazy, even when the cap is on. When I finally got a chance to use the organic again, I accidently left a few table spoons in a ramekin overnight, and found fruit flies were not attracted to it at all, and there were no floaters. Strange. I guess organic is better."Replies
09/17/2011: Muzza from Port Hedland, Western Australia replies: "Hi, I started reading this last night as I'm well fed up with my allergies. I had to laugh with the very first comment in this feedback section.
" I do not think I can make myself drink this every single day without something to help the taste."
I would drink the gastric juices out of a 10 day old kangaroo that was the victim of Road Kill, if it meant getting rid of my allergies.
I really hope this works as I got straight up and rode off to the shop to buy and try this remedy.
07/13/2013: Te from Charlotte, SC: "Do you know if ACV will change the color of your urine as it cleans you out?"
[YEA] 07/12/2013: Danae from Mckinney, Tx: "I've been drinking ACV for a few weeks now -- one shot morning and evening, with some water, and throughout my work day (a tbs or 2 in a bottle of water). I have so much more energy and end up not needing as much coffee as I used to. It also helps flush out candida and "junk" from the body. I'm hoping it'll help me shed some weight.
Yesterday my eye started feeling really itchy, not sure if it's allergies or a stye but immediately after it started swelling up I took 2 tbs of ACV with a little water in a shotglass and 30 minutes later the swelling went down tremendously. I woke up today and my eye is 90% better already!! Usually when I have allergies it takes a few days for the swelling to calm down but ACV sped up the process. Will definitely keep taking ACV :)"
EC: Danae, Another option for even more energy is to add a dash of cayenne to your shot of ACV (or ACV tonic). Whew!
[YEA] 03/18/2010: Chris from Auburn, Al: "First off, this is the most amazing site I've ever come across. I've had acute allergies for 10 years now. For the first 5 years, I just dealt with it, but as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. I usually end up bed ridden with sinusitis, fever, terrible headaches, etc. before all is better. The last 5 years, I have taken an antibiotic virtually every time I had an outbreak (about every 2 months), and everyone knows how bad that is for our bodies. Since I found the ACV cure a year ago, I've had ONE outbreak. I cured both of my last outbreaks without antibiotics in a matter of 3 or 4 days. I now drink ACV daily. While I still occasionally have itchy eyes or headaches, I rarely feel bad at all. Additionally, I had laryngitis, and mixed cayenne pepper w/ the ACV mixture, and cured it instantly. Thank you all so much for giving my life back.
My daily dosage, 2 TSP w/ 8 oz of water several times throughout the day.
When I'm sick, 2 TBLSP w/ 8 oz of water and 1/8 TSP cayenne pepper (for sore throat) several times throughout the day."
09/14/2010: Noelle from Denton, Tx, Us replies: "Hello, first time poster here. I started a regimen of ACV in water after having it recommended to me by a weight loss clinic as a general detox. I noticed after 2 days of drinking it diluted in water that I seemed to have more energy at the end of the day than I was used to having. But what was truly impressive was that I had gone away for the weekend to visit relatives and did not think to take some ACV "on the road". I had increased allergy symptoms and overall felt worse than before going on the ACV regimen. So I'll definitely make a "to go" travel bottle in the future so that I don't have to skip any days."
[YEA] 11/01/2012: Justcallmecole from Elkhart, In replies: "I started drinking ACV while at the tail end of a cold. I had gone through a box of heavy duty decongestant/expectorant and halfway through a second box and I wasn't really improving past a certain point. I was frustrated and searching the web for any alternative solutions when I discovered this site. I ran right out and bought a bottle of [organic] ACV. I started drinking it diluted in water AND I also started to rinse my nose with it. I do not use a nettie pot for my sinus rinsing. Ever since I had sinus surgery 15 years ago, I've used a baby nose aspirator as instructed by the surgeon and squirt the solution up into my nose while leaning over the sink. I use 1 tsp in 8oz of warm water for my nose rinse & 2 tbsp in 16oz water to drink. Sometimes, I'll just take a shot straight but I love the flavor of vinegar. I had heard the nose rinse might cause burning but never experienced that myself. WOW! Within a day I noticed a difference. I stopped taking the decongestant/expectorant pill and have continued to drink & rinse twice a day (morning and night). I am not kidding when I say I very rarely sneeze anymore!! I have such horrible year-round allergies. I've been on an Rx nose spray AND would take an OTC pill also. Since I have been rinsing my nose, I rarely use the spray let alone take the pill. I do notice a difference when I forget to rinse my nose. To me that is just proof it's the rinse w/ ACV that is helping me. I have recommended ACV to everyone!"
[YEA] Patrick from Boulder, CO: "I had extremely bad spring allergies. A former Professor (bothered by my sneezing attacks) suggested this and it works! Two Tblsp. ACV and 2 Tblsp. local raw honey. The honey has pollen and allergens and the Vinegar is a stringent. Take one a day for 2-3 weeks and notice the difference!"
EC: However, adding honey can sometimes exacerbate allergies:
[YEA] 06/07/2008: Sam from Bernalillo, NM replies: "Ive always had a dry nose, but it never really bothered me. Then at the beginning of the spring I developed awful allergies. In New Mexico we have some of the highest pollen rates in the US. I was sleeping about 12 hours a day and was constantly nauseous for 2 weeks. I thought I was just really sick and since I don't have insurance I went to my collage health clinic and was told it was allergies. They told me to get some over the counter drugs to fix this. And since I'm cheap I decided to do some research. I found earth clinic and tried ACV. Two days later no allergies. I was amazed of how well it worked and suggested it to a few of my co- workers who also loved it. At first I tried the heinz which worked and later on decided to opt for Brag. Now I only take it about every 2 weeks. Thanks Earth clinc for keeping me off drugs."
[YEA] Lasa from Littlerock, AK: "I am a singer with severe allergies. I was on the road for several months playing music. My allergies got so bad I thought I had nodules that would need removing. I became unable to perform and every state I traveled to contributed to my condition making it worse. I returned to Little Rock to see my doctor but they did not remedy my condition. I was gigging in Biloxi a couple of days later and a friend of mine, who is also a musician, had contacted an ear nose & throat specialist about my condition. The doctor advised me to try apple cider vinegar. The relief was immediate. I was able to sing my low range repertoire that night. Within a couple of days, I was no longer hoarse and back to normal. I keep a bottle on hand at all times and use it as soon as symptoms occur. What a difference!"Replies
[SIDE EFFECTS] 11/02/2010: Whoopi from Makati, Philippines replies: "I have been taking Apple Cider Vinegar twice daily in the last two weeks, hoping that this will help me in my allergic rhinitis, however, I noticed that evrytime I take Apple Cider Vinegar with a little amount of honey and water, I feel some kind of dizziness , itchy eyes and nose, I sneeze a lot but good thing I got good amount of nasal discharge also evrytime I blow my nose. I'd like to know, are those manifestations normal that will lead to a better results for my condition or am I to discontinue taking it ? Hope I can be helped on this as I don't wanna be so dependent to nasal spray and aantihistamines evrytime I'm exposed to dust and smoke."
06/28/2011: Deej from Mumbai, India replies: "I too am allergic with lots of things... Especially during rainy seasons and high humidities. I started taking apple cider vinegar, but Im not sure if its helping me or am I allergic to it too....."
09/21/2011: Philabongo from Crystal Lake, Illinois replies: "You might be allergic to apples. It can happen, I am allergic to red apples according to my ETN when I had my scratch test done. Good luck!"
[YEA] Amy from Hartford, CT: "I was on prescribed allergy medicine for 17 years. I started the honey and ACV mixed with water 3 years ago and rarely even have to take an over the counter allergy pill. It takes about 4-6 days of taking it twice a day to build up in my system, and then I usually only have to take it once a day. I'm a massage therapist and I recommend it to all of my clients who come in with allergies, many of them have become faithful to the ACV too. So glad someone told me about it!!"Replies

[YEA] Joanie from Akron, Ohio: "My cousin's doctor recommended ACV for gout, she passed this website on to me, so I've only been using ACV for about 3 weeks now, and no migraines, no sinus headaches (northeast ohio weather horrible), allergy symptoms have all but disappeared, and FEWER HOT FLASHES (am 47), I don't understand why more physicians don't tell us about this miracle cure-all!

By Robert J. McCarthy
In one of the semi-official rites of spring as well as of the Western New York political season, the bishop of Buffalo has always offered a dispensation from the Lenten obligation for Catholics to abstain from meat during the St. Patrick's Day Luncheon at the Buffalo Irish Center -- featuring mounds of corned beef and cabbage served family style.
But Bishop Richard J. Malone, at his first-ever appearance at the jam-packed affair on Friday, cracked that he wasn't letting the gathering of local pols and St. Pat's revelers off so easy. Indeed, he acknowledged he's not a fan of dispensing with Lenten obligations on Friday.
"Let's just say we're 'commuting' the abstinence," Malone told the crowd, adding he was issuing an alternative obligation for Friday's imbibing in the traditional Irish-American fare.
"It's up to you to choose another day of abstinence between now and Palm Sunday," he said, recognizing the crowd really didn't know what he was going to suggest.
"Got you nervous there for a moment, didn't I?" he cracked.
Abstinence or no abstinence, the 41st annual affair lived up to its traditional role of attracting practically every breathing pol in Western New York. As is his custom, state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli ventured westward from Albany, proclaiming it his favorite St. Pat's celebration in all of New York (and declaring his "P" middle initial stands for "Patrick" this weekend instead of the official "Peter"), while a phalanx of judicial candidates made the rounds with their official candidate nameplates.
Potential mayoral candidate Bernie Tolbert also attended while continuing to hint that he will run, but remains coy about when -- or if -- he will issue an official challenge to incumbent Mayor Byron W. Brown in this year's Democratic primary.
"I'll let you know," he said. Buffalo Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder presided as master of ceremonies, raising a toast to the late Assemblyman Richard J. Keane and his late pal, Tom Blake, who founded the affair to benefit the Irish Center in 1972.

Kenneth Rapoza, Contributor
I cover Brazil, Russia, India & China.
When it comes to the body count on Twitter, Brazil is already No. 2 behind the U.S. Soon, is my guess, it will completely overtake the U.S. in this gringo-inspired social media crazed society and Twitter will go the way of Google's (GOOG) old Orkut social network did for millions of Americans who lamented the southern invasion.
Brazil surpassed Japan last year with around 41 million users in that nation of 200 million. By comparison, the U.S. has around 110 million users.
But now, like Orkut before it, My Space and — more recently — Facebook (FB), Twitter is setting up shop in São Paulo. With a footprint in the country, Twitter has more interest than ever to increase the population of Brazilian users.
"We believe our new office in Brazil will allow us to get closer to the users and show the value of our platform," the company's new country manager for Brazil, Guilherme Ribenboim, told Reuters in a recent interview. "Brazil has rather mature Internet and advertisement markets. Our audience is very big and active," he said. "We are going to try to monetize it."
When it comes to social media, Brazilians are early adopters. Then they over populate it. Whether or not Twitter gets Orkutified is anybody's guess. Twitter might not be around long enough as new technologies can disrupt Twitter's popularity at any moment. With the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics coming to town, Twitter will be quickly over run with Brazilians. Around one third of Brazilians on Twitter access it through their smart phones. That number will change over time as the nation's middle class consumers buy more hand held devices and hop on the trend with their friends.
Modern army oil, integration in the BRICS and now social networks… All this proves that Brazil it is not that the carnival, the football and the plastic surgery. I adore this country
Doc.Mezhoud : http://www.docteur-sami-mezhoud.com/
Fake. Brazil is still all about carnival, football, soupopera and plastic surgery. It won't change.
I'm brazilian and seeing more of them in social media is worring. Orkut was destroyed by Brazilians, now thier next target is Twitter and Facebook. They also can make most of online games very boring with their presence.
Not talking about all of us. But most should stay away of these things.
The word "gringo" in Brazil refers to all foreigners alike. Hispanics, Asians, Africans as well as Europeans citizens are referred to as foreigners. It's no a pejorative word. It just means that those people are outsiders.
