Perfectly balancing lavender cream
If you're not sure which moisturizer is for you, we recommend starting here. Imperialis is a finely crafted moisturizer that works with most skin types to ease and soothe irritations. Made with lavender infusion to balance the skin's sebum production, the lavender encourages dry skin to produce more natural oils and discourages oily skin from overdoing it. Orange blossom water brightens up dull looking areas and leaves you smelling gorgeous all day long.

Ask A QuestionIs the warrior end loaded or balanced?
The Louisville Slugger TPS Warrior: SB12W is a balanced bat.
Would this be a good bat for a teenage girl (considered the best batter on team)?
The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPS Warrior is a slow pitch bat so it would not work for a teenage girl. Fastpitch bats are the options that would work.
How does the Warrior compare to the Reflex and the Ultimate Weapon?
All are great bats around $100 and it depends on what you are looking for. I feel the Ultimate Weapon will have a slight advantage in terms of pop over the Warrior and Reflex. I feel the Reflex will offer the best durability. The Warrior has a great mixture of both performance and durability. All are one piece alloy bats. The Warrior and Ultimate Weapon are pretty evenly balanced, and the Reflex will have a slight end loaded feel.
Product Description
You want power? You want performance? You want durability? You got it with the championship proven technology of Louisville Slugger TPS. At every level of play you'll see the top players and teams swinging TPS bats. This season, the TPS Warrior returns with its sickest design EVER!

Checking the links Ziggy posted really reaffirms my hopes to keep Swish. All those people are so happy he's injured and not at full strength. JRich is the only player on our team that really scares the opposition on the offensive end.
Also, I like how they're worried about the Felton/Augustin duo. Nice to finally have some players that the other teams have to worry about.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- To foster a more family-friendly game day experience, West Virginia University athletic officials are setting aside one section at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Dubbed the "Family FunZone," the seating section will be alcohol-free and cater to fans who would like to bring their children to home football games.
Matt Wells, assistant athletic director for marketing and sales, said the new section was a response to fan feedback.
Wells said officials have been focusing on ways to improve the fan experience on game days. Since officials introduced stadium beer sales in 2011, Wells said, some fans have asked for an alcohol-free seating section.
"Some of the feedback we heard as a department was to provide some type of area where it's alcohol-free, more family-friendly and encourages fans to watch their language," Wells said.
WVU fans have gained a reputation for bad behavior over the years.
In 2011, Athletic Director Oliver Luck had to ask fans to stop wearing T-shirts that said "WEST F*****VIRGINIA" to games.
After last year's WVU-Texas football game, more than 40 fires were set in Morgantown. Dozens of police officers in riot gear had to use pepper spray and tear gas to disperse a crowd of about 1,000 in the Sunnyside section of town.
The university has countered with tactics designed to cut down on rowdiness.
Last year, the school introduced Goodwill City Ambassadors to greet opposing teams, and law enforcement officials increased patrol efforts. The 2011 introduction of beer sales itself was part of a broader strategy to keep people in the stadium and away from excessive drinking at tailgate parties.
The Family FunZone is the next step.
"Creating a family friendly environment at the stadium has always been a goal of ours," Luck said in a statement. "As part of the evaluation process of our game day atmosphere, we believe it is important to offer a seating area that is alcohol free and more conducive to fans attending the game with children."

Suspend Balance Game
A family game of tricky hangs and steady hands! Try this hanging balance game and you'll be hooked! Suspend comes with 24 notched, rubber-tipped wire pieces to hang from a tabletop stand. Sound easy? Try adding another piece! Each time a bar is added, the balance shifts, the difficulty changes and the incredible midair sculpture transforms. Can you add all your game pieces without making it fall? This tricky game for 1-4 players is a test of steady nerves and steady hands.
You can only use one hand to place a piece. If you touch any of the suspended game pieces with your other hand during your turn, you have to take back your piece, and you lose your turn. Once you remove your hand from the piece, the move is complete. You can hang your piece from any part of another game piece EXCEPT a spot (notch or straight section) that is already occupied. (But if you hang your piece on an open notch or straight section and it slides to an occupied spot, that is allowed.)-Determine at the beginning of the game whether the wooden connector will be in play as a hanging point. If you hang a piece that causes a part of the structure to touch the play surface, you have to reposition your piece. If you cause one or more pieces to fall, you have to pick them up and add them to your pile.

One of the most frequent topics that comes up in political conversation these days is ethics. On July 31st, Georgians overwhelmingly voted that there needs to be a cap on the amount of gifts our elected officials are allowed to accept. However, there are many of us who believe that even a $100 per day cap is still too much - that perhaps $0 is a better cap. After all, looking at the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission website, one can see that while the $150 rounds of golf and several hundred dollar dinners for the official and their spouse may be eliminated, there are many more of the smaller lunches, dinners, and various other goodies that would still be allowed. Would you be surprised to hear that some Public Service Commissioners walk out of their office or a hearing at lunch time and say "I'm hungry, where's a lobbyist"?
However, there is one completely legal process by which we can eliminate all gifts that doesn't require further legislation - the voting booth. Every Georgia voter has a voice this November 6th to help decide who we are going to put into the various offices around the state. If we decide that ethics do indeed matter, then we should cast our vote for the candidate that best reflects those values - without regard for the party letter beside that candidate's name. The choice is yours - do you vote for someone who has received $14,000 in gifts from lobbyists in just their last term and who accepted $10,000 in campaign contributions just two days before voting on the case those very contributors were presenting? Or is it time to oust some of these 18 year incumbents in favor of a fresh face in their seat?
You be the judge: http://gareport.com/blog/2012/07/18/its-legal-but-is-it-right/
There is a reason that politicians have gone from what was once a respected position to a position that is now the target of a number of jokes. People have come to expect that politicians are dirty and are actually surprised when they come across one that is not. One by one and seat by seat voters have the ability to replace those elected officials that aren't doing what we elected them to do and are taking advantage of the position that we put them in. I urge everyone to thoroughly research every race you cast a ballot for. Let our elected officials know that you too believe: Ethics Matter.
Ethics Matter
David Staples, candidate for Public Service Commission District 5, talks about the need for a return to ethics in government and politics.

"That Thing" Thursday
For my first ever "That Thing" Thursday, I present to you two discarded cicada shells. These little guys stay in the ground and come out after 7 years. We just recently had a swarm here in Pennsylvania in 2004. I'm just happy that I didn't see the actual bugs. They are big and ugly. Ergh.
4 comments:
Ohhhh...no. One thing everyone knows about me is I don't do bugs. I'd probably run from the shells. I'm glad to live in California where we just have normal bugs. About the worst we have is what we call a Potato Bug. I don't know what everyone else calls it but probably my most hated bug.

Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
By Trevor
The pair of Michigan 3 formal shoes from the Hush Puppies range were my third purchase choice and I am not disappointed. Like my two previous purchases from the casual shoe range, Michigan 3 offer a stylish and more formal look, but still have that familiar immediate comfort level that Hush Puppies seem to have from the point of wearing. Once again excellent service from Hush Puppies from initial click to delivery.
How do you most use this product?: With more formal clothing

Why Is Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) Overlooked?
If you're reading this post you are probably either someone who doesn't know much about Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) and are keen to know more about how you can implement it on your site or you are a specialist in the CRO field looking to help my cause to make more people aware of CRO and the potential increases in profit margins that can be achieved.

We Are All Psychologists Now: How The Web Became About Your Mind Not Your Money
There have never been more ways to understand human psychology, or a bigger desire to do so. There are now books for fat people, thin people, smokers, romantics, pickup artists, you name it. You can buy a book on how to stop procrastinating, and also a book on why you should procrastinate. Every possible side of every argument is at your fingertips, and people are devouring them at a rapid pace.
Conversion Rate Optimisation Tips for All Websites
Conversion rate optimisation might be seen as a separate specialism from SEO, but it's clear that CRO is fundamental for a truly successful SEO project. It's all very well bringing in shed-loads of relevant traffic but if that traffic isn't resulting in conversions and making some mulah, your client will soon be questioning the ROI you're bringing them.

Customer Retention Strategies: What Are They and How Will Your Website Benefit?
Today we welcome a post from Text Marketer – a Koozai client that lives and breathes SMS marketing - who take a deeper look at effective ways of maintaining customers.
In today's business landscape, returning customers are absolutely vital. Whilst much of your marketing efforts will no doubt be aimed at enticing new customers and clients, ensuring your existing customers return will be far more cost-effective and a great deal easier.
15 Conversion Rate Optimisation Tips for Contact Pages
For small business websites that are not necessarily selling products or providing any sort of online service, then the most important aspect of the website will be the contact page. Finding your contact details or filling in a contact form should be an easy and straightforward process for the user.
Many websites adopt the tactic of placing a telephone number and email address at the top or side bar of every page on their website. This is a great way to provide quick access for visitors to get in touch and to reassure them that if they have any questions, you are available to chat.
The Importance of Conversion Rate Optimisation
What is Conversion Rate Optimisation?
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is the process of improving the ratio of conversions to traffic on a website. For example if your website is receiving 1,000 visitors per month and 10 of them buy your product, you have a conversion rate of 1%. Using CRO, one would look to steadily improve the conversion rate, without specifically looking to develop inbound traffic.

Maple Street was closed off from around 10:20 a.m. to about 11:30 a.m., and the Rutland City Fire Department went to a third alarm to call sufficient manpower, 25 to 30 firefighters, to the fire at 115 Maple St.
While all of the half-dozen people in the house got out safely, Deputy Fire Chief Earnest Cioffi said two cats who lived in one of the apartments were killed.
We lost everything all of us did, said Dora Moulton, who lived in one of the apartments with her husband, three small children and a friend.
I dont have anything, Moulton said, sobbing. My pictures are all gone.
Neighbors quickly stepped in to console Moulton and to offer her spare furniture.
The American Red Cross said Friday afternoon it had arranged for the three families to stay at a local motel, provided financial support for food and clothing, and sent a volunteer trained in disaster mental health to the scene.
A call to a Vermont State Police fire investigator was not immediately returned Friday afternoon, but Moulton said she believed the fire was electrical in origin.
When I came outside, the whole box was lighting up and the porch was on fire, she said.
Moulton said she noticed the fire when she smelled something burning. Neighbor Virginia Neathawk said she heard Moulton yelling for help.
When we looked out it was completely engulfed, she said. While we were calling 911, we were trying to hit it with the hose and fire extinguishers.
Neathawk said firefighters arrived quickly and that she was advised to stay out of her own house.
It probably took a good five to 10 minutes to get the fire knocked down, Cioffi said. Then we started going room to room. ... The interior has got heavy smoke damage and the first floor apartment has heavy smoke damage and fire damage to the front porch. We stopped it from going to the rest of the building.
Cioffi said he did not believe anything inside was salvageable.
It was blackened, he said. Just before we ventilated, you could not see in the apartments. ... The house is salvageable. Its going to need some cleaning, some new windows and a new front porch.
The scene drew a crowd of onlookers, confined to the sidewalk as police taped off the street. Jeremy Chadburn, who was staying with a friend at the house, stood on the sidewalk in his socks.
All my shoes and stuff is inside, he said between bouts of coughing. I still cant breathe.
Chadburn said the fire woke him up.
Smoke was pouring up through the floor, he said. It was, like, I think the house is on fire.
Chadburn was later taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for smoke inhalation, where a hospital spokeswoman said he was treated and released.

BeWeather brings its pretty face, forecasts to iOS
BeWeather started as a BlackBerry app before being ported over to Android a couple of years ago, and earlier this week it arrived for iOS. BeWeather is free but some features are held back until you upgrade with a $2.99 in-app purchase to the Pro version. Even the free version, however, has the good looks and some useful features that may make you stray from The Weather Channel's app or Yahoo Weather.
After launching BeWeather and letting it access your location, it will ask you to select from one of three themes: a static image, an animation that … Read more

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Sep 10, 2008
The American public paid a lot of attention to the presidential campaign last week as the Republican Party took center stage. More than half watched at least some television coverage of the Republican convention in St. Paul, and the speech by GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin stands out as the highlight of the event. And perhaps as a consequence, by the end of the week, John McCain's image had improved significantly.
In a poll conducted September 5-8, 35% say their opinion of McCain has become more favorable in recent days, while 24% say their opinion of the Republican nominee has become less favorable. This marks the second week in a row where changing opinions of McCain have been more positive than negative. For her part, Palin appears to have helped boost McCain's image, and her convention speech drew a highly favorable response. However, only a narrow majority (52%) says she is qualified to serve as president, while 39% say she is not qualified.
McCain's image has improved primarily among Republicans, 65% of whom say their opinion of the GOP presidential nominee has become more favorable in recent days. While McCain's big week moved Republicans' opinions, there was little change in the views of Democrats and independents.

I forgot to mention I grew up in New Kensington, out side of Pittsburgh.
Hello George: Your comment about style caught my eye. In the past I have been in many writers groups. All have had, what I see as not creative critique, beyond, what i feel, is helpful to the writer. Like you I feel we have a style, unless we let someone change that through some all-knowing advice. I am starting a writers group for short fiction writers. I have sat through some terribly long readings that said nothing.
I love writing fiction, although I also write from my life, which has been a long series of adventures. When I tell one of my true tales, people always tell me i should write about them.(I am, but I enjoy fiction. I have many posted on my site at bogwig.com)
I just published an illustrated children's Christmas story from a play I wrote in 1976. I would like to send you a copy. Contact me with a mailing address. email@example.com.
I loved the photos in this book. Well done. I also love the new movie on Clemente "Baseball's Last Hero: 21 Clemente Stories" and was amazed how the film's images of the actors captured many of the same stylistic images of the photos, particularly the love between Roberto and Vera. I think both projects were guided divinely. I bought the movie and book on Amazon and plan to order multiple copies of both for Christmas gifts to share his legacy.
A wonderful lady I admire her.
Your review is as penetrating as the depth and grandeur of Robinson's offering in " Orange Fire ".
There is a new short story collection called Eligible Atrocities. It is full of wit and satire and worth checking out.
If the first European born settlers got there in 1803 chances are African folks were there at least that long ago.
This is great! Very inspiring stuff. I am glad to see that someone is addressing the housing crisis in a positive and practical manner.
Fooled me. Was looking to read about squatters vs jerks, as in weightlifting's clean and jerk and /or dead lift.
Squat on.
This really is such a good book! The author should be made an honorary personal injury lawyer in homewood for his work!
Hey Fred - thanks for the review. What an interesting subject. Had to look up the word androgyny. I had a lesbian friend at school who was a butch and her name could also denote either sex. It took me a good week to figure out whether she was man or woman - she kept mentioning her wife and it kind of threw me off. It's also embarrassing when you say "Sir" to a woman on the phone who has a deep voice. Oops. Anyway, it really does sound like interesting reading.
My mom and I loved Murphy's! ;D What great memories! I'll definitely check out this book!:)
Is there no end to the collusion of this rag and the teacher/students of a certain school? As why else would this entry of a chatbook make a dent in the City Paper's readership.
Thanks Catherine! What a great Article!
I really appreciate the Pittsburgh City Paper featuring Amidst Traffic!
Thanks so much!
Michel Sauret
I like :)
That was exactly my experience growing up in Laurelton, in southeast Queens (NY). Within six months, a year at the most, the town went from an ethnic mix to 90 plus percent African-American. Everyone just fled. The culprits, along with pure racism, were the same as described here.
Look forward to reading this from an excellent press
Thanks Rick! This piece reads wonderfully!

Park Trails
at Morris State Park
Beech Tree Trail
- Hiking
Length: 2.25 Miles View map
This trail showcases many of the unique aspects of Crowley's Ridge in southeast Missouri. It leads you from the top of the ridge down into bottomlands and returns along the ridge top, passing through different natural communities. Crowley's Ridge rises up to 250 feet above the surrounding flatlands of the Mississippi embayment. Some of the trees, wildflowers and ferns of Morris State Park are restricted in Missouri to this long-running ridge that extends from the Cape Girardeau area to the north, into northern Arkansas to the south. American beech, Hercules club and many herbaceous plants commonly associated with forests of the eastern United States have their western-most range on or around Crowley's Ridge. The fragile soils were formed through thousands of years of wind-blown deposition of glacial silt and are highly fertile. These wind-blown soils are called loess and often develop near floodplains of large river systems. Dissected slopes on the eastern edge of the park give a glimpse of the soil composition of Crowley's Ridge. Mosquitoes are common and can be abundant during the late spring, summer, and early fall. Insect repellent, long-sleeved shirts and pants will help make their presence minimal during your hike.

In a long piece online at its web site, Simon Owens of US News and World Report offers an overview of academic (chiefly scientific) journal publishing and the rise of open access. See "Is the Academic Publishing Industry on the Verge of Disruption?" Starting with the recent Harvard letter on journal prices (see Transitions for April 23, 2012), the article reports on moves toward open access publishing, and resistance from commercial "closed access" publishers.
High Energy Physics Journals Move toward Open Access
– July 23, 2012Through an international effort known as SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consrotium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) a number of key journals in high energy/particle physics are moving towards open access. Journals in this group include Physical Review C and D, Physics Letters B, Nuclear Physics B, and several others. CERN, which is overseeing the process, announced on July 17th that the tendering process was complete. The University of Iowa Libraries has supported SCOAP3 since its earliest days.
Interview with Gita Manaktala from MIT Press
The fourth post in Adeline Koh's series Digital Challenges to Academic Publishing in The Chronicle of Higher Education is "What is the Future of Academic Publishing? An Interview with Gita Manaktala from MIT Press". Koh asks about open access publishing of monographs, alternative peer review, libraries as publishers and the future of University Presses. Makaktala states:
There are many possible futures for the scholarly monograph. Ultimately its fate is not in the hands of university presses, which have struggled to keep it alive in spite of declining readership. (Academic libraries have likewise struggled to support the monograph despite falling circulation.) The future depends on whether scholars themselves value the monograph enough to keep reading it. If so, funding models for monographs can and will be found.

UK announces open access requirement for articles based on gov't funded research
On July 16th the British government announced that it would require articles published on the basis of publicly funded research to be published in open access form. Portions of the announcement follow. An article in the Guardian describes the plan in more detail and reports some reactions.
"The government has announced that it will make publicly funded scientific research available for anyone to read for free, accepting recommendations in a report on open access by Dame Janet Finch.
This will likely see a major increase in the number of taxpayer-funded research papers freely available to the public.
Science Minister David Willetts said:
"Removing paywalls that surround taxpayer funded research will have real economic and social benefits. It will allow academics and businesses to develop and commercialise their research more easily and herald a new era of academic discovery."
Among the recommendations that have been accepted by the Government are:
- Moving to deliver open access through a 'gold' model, where article processing-charges are paid upfront to cover the cost of publication.
- Walk-in rights for the general public, so they can have free access to global research publications owned by members of the UK Publishers' Association, via public libraries.
- Extending the licensing of access enjoyed by universities to high technology businesses for a modest charge."
University Presses
Ever since the University of Missouri announced on May 24 that it was closing its Press, university presses have been generating quite a bit of discussion. In the last few days several items of interest have appeared.
On July 6, The Iowa City Press-Citizen interviewed Jim McCoy, the director of The University of Iowa Press, about the future of the UI Press ("University presses seek out new roles and new markets"). McCoy said "we have an incredibly supportive administration who understands that we fill a necessary function. … We bridge the gap between research and teaching." He also noted that they are very small in terms of people but publish a far higher number of books per staff member each year than other presses. He emphasized the value of working with the UI Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, Prairie Lights and The UI Libraries.
Inside Higher Ed published an opinion piece on July 9 by Marshall Poe of Iowa's history department ("What Can University Presses Do?"). Poe would like to see presses move towards open access publishing and new modes of outreach. This item generated quite a few comments from people familiar with university presses and is worth reading for the responses it has generated.
On July 10, The Chronicle of Higher Education included an interview with Patrick Alexander, the head of the Penn state University Press, by Adeline Koh ("Is Open Access a Moral or a Business Issue? A Conversation with The Pennsylvania State University Press"). This is the 3rd piece Koh has written in her series "Digital Challenges to Academic Publishing". This interview discusses differences between STEM publishing and humanities publishing
Reforming Copyright
Pamela Samulelson writes about Google books, orphan works, the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and the possibility of reforming copyright law in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
" Copyright should be shorter in duration, more balanced, more comprehensible, and normatively closer to what members of the public think that it means or should mean.
Although we are not likely to get comprehensive reform anytime soon, perhaps we can persuade Congress to make some more modest reforms.
We know it is now possible for the cultural and scientific heritage of humankind to be made available through a universal digital library such as the DPLA. It would be a grievous mistake not to bring that future into being when it is so clearly within our grasp."
Predatory Publishers, or "Scaring the Children"
In a recent blog post Kevin Smith of Duke takes up the issue of open access publishers who have been labeled "predatory" for various reasons. Quoting from the post:
In an online age, criteria that are well-established in libraries for avoiding these predatory toll-access journals now must be shared more widely because researchers may unwittingly spend research funds on equally low-quality OA journals. But to call this an open access problem is to blind ourselves to its full scope and is, I fear, often motivated more by the desire to bring OA itself into disrepute, to "scare the children," as I like to call it, than it is by a desire to protect the entire system of scholarly communications. …The problem we should be addressing is predatory publications, OA and subscription-based, and publishing ethics across the board….
…So I repeat, we should make our decisions about quality on the basis of neutral criteria that can be applied to any business model and not allow the legitimate concern over predatory practices to become a weapon used against only a single publishing option.
A New World for Libraries and University Presses?
More and more research libraries are using patron-driven acquisitions (PDA), a service where their patrons choose the titles libraries purchase (usually e-books) by actually using them. PDA can allow a library to only buy books that someone reads, and pass on those that aren't used. But university presses — which rely on these libraries for sales — often publish titles that garner very little readership. If the libraries — or their users — aren't buying, how will the presses cope? Soon-to-be published research by Joe Esposito offers some insights.

Report calls for accelerating transition to open access publishing in UK
– June 20, 2012A government commissioned report titled "Accessibility, Sustainability, Excellence: How to Expand Access to Research Publications" calls for Britain "embrace and help accelerate the transition to the open-access publishing of research results." We called attention to this expected recommendation in a May 3rd posting. According to reporting in the Chronicle of Higher Education "[t]he report's main recommendation is that 'a clear policy direction should be set towards support for publication in open-access or hybrid journals as the main vehicle for the publication of research, especially when it is publicly funded.'"
