How I Helped My Mom Get Smoother Skin and Regain Her Confidence
My name is Sarah; I'm a college senior living in New York City but my family is still back in Florida. Well, at least my mom is. A few years back, my mom went through a really horrible divorce from my cheating father and she's finally trying to get back in the dating scene. I hated knowing that she was home alone, being depressed. It was a really tough time for her and I even offered to take a semester off to be there for her, but she wanted me to focus on my studies. I just couldn't shake the feeling that there was something I could do for her.
One of the things that hurt my mom the most was that my dad left her for a much younger woman. It was bad for her self-esteem; she just didn't feel pretty anymore. To make matters worse, she was starting to see some wrinkles. I had a conversation with her every other day about some new wrinkle cream that she found that promised the world in a bottle. At one point, she even considered Botox and that's when I knew things were taking a turn for the worse. I really didn't want my mom putting her life in danger, especially given how expensive Botox is.
I figured with my science background, I could do some research to help her find a solution that was safer and less expensive. After all, this was my mother. I wanted her to be happy. I had to do something to help.
I spent weeks scouring the internet, researching options for my mother.
I read every scientific paper that had ever been written about anti-aging, wrinkles and wrinkle creams. Eventually, I came across Derma Rose and Swiss Ross. These two products had the perfect mixture of vitamins, antioxidants and moisturizers. Based on my research, I knew Derma Rose and Swiss Ross would deliver incredible results.
As part of my research, I came across the clinical trials both companies conducted. I didn't want my mom to be taken in by wild promises; I wanted to see the science.
Derma Rose - Official Clinical Study on Effectiveness of Decreasing Wrinkles
Swiss Ross - Official Clinical Study on Effectiveness of Increasing Moisturization
Needless to say, my mother has been using both products for 2 months and she says she hasn't looked or felt this good in a long time. In fact, that's why I wrote this blog in the first place. My mom wanted to make sure this secret was available to everyone and I thought that this was the best way to spread the word. I even called both of these amazing companies and got them to offer discounts so you can try it too. I've posted links to their product and the coupon code at the bottom of this post.
What My Research Showed
I spent more than my fair share of hours researching these products. I never would have suggested my mom try them if I didn't know they were safe and would work for her.
Here's some of what I discovered:
Derma Rose Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Derma Rose is a wrinkle cream that contains several peptides to increase collagen production. Collagen makes up the support structure of the skin and keeps it firm and wrinkle-free. Increasing collagen production provides your skin with the support it needs to make fine lines and wrinkles fade away. Derma Rose also contains a powerful moisturizer, hyaluronic acid, to rehydrate skin and make it look healthy and youthful.
In clinical studies, Derma Rose reduced the visual appearance of fine lines by 48% after 4 weeks, with participants reporting a 67% decrease in fine lines and wrinkles after 8 weeks of use. A SELS (Surface Evaluation of Living Skin) found a 29% reduction in the deepest wrinkles after 4 weeks and a 43% reduction in deep wrinkles after 8 weeks. Keep in mind that this is measuring the deepest wrinkles; the more shallow fine lines that plague women like my mother are not nearly as deep and fade away much quicker. The studies also found a 20% increase in skin elasticity and firmness after 4 weeks and a 33% increase in firmness after 8 weeks.
Swiss Ross Antioxidant Rescue Cream
Swiss Ross is an antioxidant-rich moisturizer which protects, rehydrates and repairs skin to reduce the look of aging. The antioxidants in Swiss Ross repair cellular damage caused by free radicals and protect against further damage caused by day-to-day exposure. Free radicals steal electrons from cells, damaging the collagen which provides your skin structure and causing wrinkles. Swiss Ross also contains peptides to increase collagen production and hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate skin.
In clinical studies, Swiss Ross increased skin's hydration 440% after 15 minutes and 500% after one week of use. At first, I thought that was a typo but Swiss Ross really does quintuple skin hydration. Swiss Ross also decreases the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 60% in four weeks. Every single participant in the study reported firmer, plumper skin after using Swiss Ross for a week and a visible increase in firmness and lifting after four weeks.
My Mother's Story in Her Own Words
"As much as I hate to admit it, I was starting to look and feel my age. Following the divorce, I felt really old and unattractive, even though I still consider myself to be in the prime of my youth. I'm not old, but my face certainly was lined. I tried so many wrinkle creams but nothing seemed to help. I was considering Botox when my daughter Sarah stepped in and told me that she would help.
When she came to me and told me about two creams she had found on the internet, I wasn't sure what to think. I had just tried a bunch of wrinkle creams and could still see every line on my face. But Sarah was persistent and showed me all the research she had conducted. She said Derma Rose and Swiss Ross were the answers to my prayers and started to tell me all about their clinical studies. If it worked in a lab, I knew it would work for me."
Day 1
I did it a little backwards from what Sarah suggested. I started by applying Derma Rose right before bed. I was amazed at how tingly it felt. I could feel it working.
When I woke up the next morning, I could see that my skin already looked a little better. Then I applied Swiss Ross and my face immediately plumped up. It felt so luxurious and hydrating.
Day 6
After using Derma Rose and Swiss Ross for a few days, I was really impressed. My skin looked younger and more refreshed and my fine lines were starting to fade. The girl at the coffee shop complemented me and asked if I was doing something new. I just smiled and winked.
Day 14
By the two week mark, everyone was starting to take notice. My fine lines had virtually vanished and my deeper wrinkles were starting to disappear as well. My skin was looking smooth, lush and moisturized, just like it did when I got married. It was certainly a confidence boost to hear everyone telling me how good I looked and asking what my secret was. I would tell them that I applied Derma Rose every night before bed and Swiss Ross every morning.
Day 22
Sarah came home for a visit and was surprised by how youthful I looked. She told me I looked the same as I did when she was in grade school. I couldn't see any of my frown lines or worry creases anymore. It was like someone had erased the lines. My skin felt taut the way it did when I was in high school.
Sarah said that meant the peptides and moisturizers were working and to keep using Derma Rose every night and Swiss Ross every morning.
Day 28
After using Derma Rose and Swiss Ross for about a month, I was convinced. I honestly don't remember looking this good 20 years ago. My skin is smooth and firm and I can't see any of my fine lines or wrinkles anymore. People keep coming up to me and complementing me. A few of my friends even asked if I got Botox after all.

Hi Sarah! Hi Sarah's mom! After reading about your experiences with these products, I couldn't wait to order them for my mom. She wouldn't let me take a before picture but she did tell me you could *try* and guess her age from the after photo.
After reading about your experiences, I decided to try Derma Rose and Swiss Ross for myself. I'm a little older than your mother so I didn't expect to see such wonderful results. I wouldn't say I look like I'm 20, but I certainly do not look my age. A few people asked if I had work done. Thank you so much for your recommendation.
I just placed an order. Thank you so much for getting the discount for us. I can't wait to see how wonderful my skin looks. I'll report back with my results.
Hey Girl, I can't believe you really did it! I thought you were crazy when I saw you were researching wrinkle cream but your mom looks great. If I hadn't known you all these years, I'd swear your mom was your sister!

I have been on here for awhile so i figured it was time to actually say hello. My Name is Dale and i have been married to Lois for 35+ years ,with one son and a fantastic grandson. I was a dairy farmer for about 20 years and am now working at an auto dealership as the parts manager. I confess that i do not have a Cub (yet) although like many on here the first tractor i operated was my grandfathers cub. It is still in the family although the chances of me ever owning it is almost nill. I enjoy working outside and being with my Grandson. I also do some drawing and painting.
I have lived in Needmore Pa all my life and am a country boy married to a true country girl who is my best friend. Lois is a Physical ed teacher (36 years)who is looking to retire this year and take over the babysitting duties of our grandson. she has spent the last 10+ years taking care of either her father or mother who have both passed away now.
Our son Seth is an IT manager for a county govt. and just last year built his home on the family farm just 200 yards from us. Growing up he always told us he was going to build in our garden, well he didnt miss by much.
If i ever get my cub i will be better able to take care of it because of the knowledge i have received from the members of this community.
Thanks, Dale

As I was enjoying the celebration of the nation's independence, remembering from decades past the freedom and liberty this country used to have, I was stunned that Nancy Pelosi would take that day to promote the failing Obamacare.
Democrats will do anything (like she says ... "by hook or by crook") to promote their causes at the most opportune times.
Barack Obama has an agenda. In his words, "I'm in this race, not just to hold an office but, together with you, to transform America."
His agenda doesn't stem from just a few months ago, or a few years. Going back to his childhood, he himself has told the public, from his own book, about his socialistic and communistic upbringing. He even told some of his friends in college what he wanted to do to America.
Why would he surround himself with people who hated America (Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and the Chicago crowd)? He even started his campaign in Bill Ayers' home. He claims to be a radical and wants radical changes.
He is amassing his arsenal of more executive orders and actions to consolidate his power. Blinded by pride and charm, he thinks his ideology will bring about utopia as it serves his ego and turns this country into a socialistic state.
This country is a republic, not a democracy as his administration tries to tell the public. A democracy rules by feeling; a republic by law.
Our forefathers chose the Bible — God's law.

A creative writing community project brings people togetherPosted: December 1, 2012 Filed under: CLTL, fiction, incarceration alternatives, literature, poetry, Uncategorized | Tags: collaborative writing, Lessons, Matt Harvey, Sally Flint, Stories Connect, storytelling 5 Comments
Lessons: Stories that connect from Stories Connect
By Sally Flint
People's lives have been changed not only by reading and discussing literature, but by writing creatively too. In Exeter, England, this has culminated in publishing a book of linked short stories and poems. This book is Lessons and it comes from Stories Connect—a community project, similar in format to Changing Lives Through Literature, that takes place outside prisons to help ex-offenders, substance misusers and other vulnerable people get over difficult times in their lives.
In 2011, after reading Alan Bennett's Talking Heads and Andrea Levy's Small Island, discussions centred on the significance of characters in storytelling, how our lives interconnect, and how perceptions of one another can be very different according to our individual experiences. Rather than read more texts to illustrate this, both the participants and facilitators of Stories Connect began a collaborative writing experiment.
Each person invented a character—then got to know his imaginary person through answering a questionnaire which not only detailed a physical description and obvious things such as what the character did for a job, but also smaller things such as what the character kept under his bed. Once each character was firmly established in each writer's mind the group discussed how the characters' lives might overlap and be brought together. Part of the success of this collection is that each writer firmly took ownership of his own imaginary character and stepped into his character's shoes.
However, to bring the characters together it was decided something more was needed—an event. Parties and weddings and all sorts of other occasions were brainstormed and somehow, out of talking about school reunions, the idea surfaced that the characters would all attend a memorial service for a recently retired headmaster, Keith Simon Lung.
Everyone discussed, debated and created—then each person wrote his character's story in a way that linked to the headmaster and his memorial. The stories took months to shape, edit and bring together as an anthology. This process fostered an environment of trust and commitment. It motivated both participants and facilitators to further improve their communicative and observational skills. Everyone worked hard to make each story stand alone, while ensuring there are many intriguing links to be made across the whole collection and questioned by the reader.
Some of the contributors had never written a story or poem before while some had read and written lots. Perhaps what this book reveals best, and why the group wanted it published, is to show how the process of writing brought them together. The result, Lessons, proves that stretching imaginations and the practice of storytelling unites people at all levels, regardless of age, background, ethnicity or past histories. In the process of creating, the group encountered the unexpected and overcame challenges and, it has to be said, they all laughed lots!
"This is a consummate piece of group story-telling, a feat of cooperation and collaboration," writes poet and broadcaster Matt Harvey in the book's forward. He supports and works with Stories Connect.

5 Comments on "A creative writing community project brings people together"
Sally: A wonderful project! Please keep up all the good work you are doing there at Exeter.
This is an intriguing project — I can barely imagine how much time and work it took to actually make a book of linked short stories. I may not use the whole exercise but just the beginning, creating a character using the questions you mentioned, would be very interesting to try in my Changing Lives Through Literature class. Thank you.
Dear Dr. Sally Flint,
Would you consider sharing the list of questions you used to help students create a character?
Dear Tam – I'd be happy to send you the
questions that we used to help develop characters – can you send me your email address? Thanks very much, Sally

Got a project that you are working on that is not a tractor? Maybe a barn to hold your tractors or just fun stuff like woodworking, glass, tools, sheds, gardens, custom implements, etc., this is the place to talk about it.

Not nearly the size and scale of projects that some of you have put up, but this is what I got accomplished this weekend. I now have a bench, plenty light and loads of storage space!! Working off the floor was getting old quick!!

Re: Garage organization
This is definitely not what I'm used to, or my starting point... With the recent move, I couldn't take my workbenches or most of my shop tools with me out here, so I bought this to get me by in my garage since I no longer have a barn in my gated townhouse community. After the shelves are emptied, it can be broken down in probably 10 minutes so it'll be easy to take to my next location. I also have shelving on the other side of the garage, but no tractor stuff over there!!

At the moment I can!! Not much in here to get lost!! I picked up the black bins at Lowes on clearance, they are heavy duty thick walled and are a hiding spot for the parts and pieces to keep things out of sight. After I get the rest of the 154 in here, I'm sure the organization will fall apart!!

Re: Garage organization
Dave, I picked the shelving up at Lowes. What is in the pic is 8' tall and has 6' shelves. On my other wall is 8'x8'. The shelving and plywood you see run me about $600. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but the ease of setting up and reconfiguring and moving later won me over. Hammer and block of wood was all that was required for assembly. I went ahead and stained the wood black to keep from worrying about the inevitable oil, grease and hydraulic stains! They have one set you can buy in a box, or they have them piece meal so you can customize what you want. The manufacturer claims 2000 lbs per shelf, but I won't ever come close to testing those limits!

Re: Garage organization
Forgot to mention that's it's made in the USA as well!! After the post in the "off topic" a while ago, I've made a real effort to buy American made products, not everything, but I look and will spend a few extra bucks for the US merchandise when I can and it's available.

Re: Garage organization
I had a cheap steel shelving unit collapse on be a few months back.... (with a box of parts of TC too high up ). I stopped at Lowes and got a pretty sturdy plastic one for $40 and some clear storage boxes. The shelves are rated at 200# each. Here is the surprise, everything I bought that day was made in the USA! The shelves are pretty stout compared with the steel one they replaced.
No matter what, never enough room!

Re: Garage organization
Very true!! Im already eyeing a big roll around tool box to fit in here somewhere....
The roll around cart in the photo I bought at the same time from Lowes, and it's made in the USA as well! That thing is really nice, rolls easy and is perfect for setting tools and parts on.
Re: Garage organization
Did the shelving come with the light kit, or did you just add shop lights under those shelves?

— We all know that smoking is bad for our health, but what might surprise many pet-owners are the dangerous effects that same smoke can have on their four-legged loved ones.
"There are studies that show that dogs exposed to large amounts of second-hand smoke have significant changes to their lung tissue over time," said Heather Wilson-Robles, assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Science (CVM). "These changes range from fibrosis, or scarring of the lung tissue to precancerous and even cancerous lesions."
A case report published in 2012 showed a cat developing a tracheal carcinoma after being exposed to large amounts of second-hand smoke in the home, and another study in 2002, published by the group at Tufts, showed that second hand smoke may double the risk of lymphoma development in cats.
Many veterinarians also feel that symptoms in their patients with respiratory diseases such as asthma or bronchitis improve if their owners quit smoking. For those that do smoke, there are a few ways to tell if your habit is affecting your pet's health.
"For animals with asthma, allergic lung disease, or bronchitis you might see a dry hacking and progressive cough," said Wilson-Robles. "Asthma patients may have more frequent asthma attacks and their symptoms may be more difficult to manage medically. Animals with allergic lung disease will often have more severe symptoms if they live in a smoking household and these symptoms may persist all year round rather than being seasonal."
Disposing of your tobacco may also prove hazardous to the wellbeing of your pet if they tend to be nosy or like to dig in the trash. "Ingestion of tobacco products may cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, increased salivation and trembling," said Wilson-Robles. "High doses of nicotine may lead to excitement, constricted pupils, odd behavior, seizures and even death. Cigarette butts are especially dangerous as they contain 25 percent of the nicotine found in the cigarette."

broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
The flywheel started shaking violently , pulled engine , dropped pan and crankshaft was broken between rear main bearing and first rod journal. 184 ser. # 2000115u047164* , engine #251341 R8 , L3 , 62B 1 . Was being used for mowing at the time it broke. Does anyone think the PTO belt set up is causing cranks to break ? It seems like the belt pressure pulling to the side could put excessive pressure on the crank. Any suggestions Please. The crank in engine is marked M .010 - R .010 , I'am thinking it means the crank has been ground down .010. I haven't pulled the crank out yet to measure it. I have purchased a different crank, and it measures 1.6235 main , 1.4986 rod journals. I think is factory size. I want look at the bearings in the engine for wear to see if I should have the new crank ground down .010 or buy new factory size bearings . Any suggestions Please . What is the proper clearance on main & rod bearings per side / or total , (.003 total ?)
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Dale the proper bearing clearance is 2-3 thousanths total. I don't what is causing your cranks to break.
also welcome to the forum!
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Buy bearings to fit the new crankshaft. Do not try to reuse the old bearings.
Do a thorough job of measuring the new crankshaft. Measurements will tell you if you need to have the crankshaft ground or polished and the bearing size to purchase.
Don't know what caused the crankshaft to break. The pto set up is not a likely cause. Examination of the crankshaft and other engine parts after disassembly will probably reveal the cause.
Just me. Since you are going to have to almost fully disassemble the engine to remove the crankshaft - I would refresh or rebuild the entire engine.
You need a specialized puller to remove the crankshaft front pulley. Examples of the pully puller are available on this site. Do not use the typical 3 jawed puller - it will break the pulley.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Thanks for welcoming me to your forum Thanks for the input its much appreciated One more question about the year of my cub lowboy 184 , can someone tell me the year by the ser. # I listed on my first posting , & what does the engine # mean ?
Thanks Dale
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Your 184 going by the Serial # 047164, is a 1974 and you can see that by clicking this link Cub FAQ's #1 on ATIS. I don't have a lot of information on the Numbered Series Cubs, but I do have some - Cub-184 Lo-Boy. Suggest you follow the links below as there is all kinds of resources available to our members.

Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
HI I found in FAQ on Farmall Cubs , The international 184 Low-Boy , red in color , was made in the years 1977-1980 , the sel # 047164 would make it a 1978 . Can anyone confirm this ? Thank I also learned that spect's for the Cub crankshaft are 1.623 to 1.624 dia. main , 1.498 to 1.499 dia. rod . These spect's. put the crank I purchased right in the middle , not bad for a used crank .
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Yes, your serial number is from 1978.
From the numbers you read on the engine, "251341 R8 , L3 , 62B 1" we have:
251341 R8 --- part number of the engine block, doesn't tell us much at this point.
L3 --- meant something to someone at the time, no real significance.
62B --- probably looks like *6.2.B* date code, June 2, 1978, agrees with the serial number. This is the date the block was cast in the foundry. The tractor was built at some later date.
1 --- meant something to someone at the time, no real significance.
The above codes were CAST into the engine block. The actual engine number is STAMPED into the block. It is in a flat area above the part number, mostly blocked behind the carburetor.
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
I just went through this on my 184 last fall. Might want to check the pistons (make sure they are the dome topped aluminum)
Here's a link to the thread and what I found on mine. Your issue may be different, but severe investigation is required.

Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
I found rod bearing sets for $7.00 / per rod in std -.002 ,-.010 , -.020 , -.030 , but no main bearings .(at NAPA auto)
I was thinking of washing down the gaskets still stuck to the pan & front engine plate with alcohol or other solvent and using RTV to seal them . Any suggestions ?
My 184 cub has the large tapered front fan , alternator pulley , of which I haven't been able to locate a puller . Looks like I'll have to build one , I like the one using a hyd. jack .
My flywheel has ball bearing in it , do I really need pilot bushing in the crankshaft , what would bushing do in the drive sys ?
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Get the gaskets. They don't cost much from NAPA, though you will have some leftovers in the kit. The one for the cub works well. I ordered my main bearings from TM (link @ bottom of page).
Regarding the front pulley, I didn't have a puller. Since my crankshaft was trashed, I removed the front cover and crankshaft from engine and took it to the vise. Clamped the crank in the vise, removed the bolt from the pulley and drove the front timing gear off the crank with a hammer and a chisel. This pushed the cover and the front pulley off the end of the crank.
Be sure to change that front crank seal in the cover.

Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
I was expecting a tug-of-war getting the front pulley off , so I made a very strong puller , started pulling and it came off effortlessly
Still looking for someone that has tried RTV on their gaskets ?
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
I used RTV on my oil pan because I didn't want to use a more permanent (harder to remove) gasket sealer. It's leaking of course.
I should have just sealed it with a gasket & sealant like indian head.

Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Try Loctite 598 it should hold up for the application
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
Just a little info. I've found about Rod & Main Crankshaft Bearings .
NAPA has rod bearings for $7.00 per set .
O'Reilly's Auto has rod b $9.50 a set,& mains for $32.75 a (3) set .
Carquest Auto has rod b (r11) $17.94 a set ,(r3) $14.12 a set , main b $60.00 a (3) set.
Case IH rod b $13.96 a set , main b (2) $47.92 , Main center b $71.82 ea .
(rod set is for 1 rod)
If someone has this info. I would like to know the torque settings for the rod cap bolts & main bearing cap bolts ?
Thanks For Everyones Help & Happy Wrenching
Re: broken crankshaft 184 lowboy
I was looking through Rudi's Farmall Cubs I & T -50 Condensed Shop Manual , I found the torque for rods = 16 ft lbs , mains =55 ft lbs , Flywheel bolts 45 to 50 ft lbs . That should take care of the assembly bolt torquing .
Learning more every day , Dale Click on page 2 for a picture of my 184 , Thanks

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - At last.
Week 3 is ideal for round-the-clock ball watching on the TV; delightful contests abound.
Couch Potato continues the tradition of citing quotes from awesome movies instead of predicting outcomes, because when you predict outcomes, numbskull fans perceiving imagined bias call your cell phone and say ugly things about your mama.
So this week, we'll be quoting the truly excellent No Country For Old Men, in which Javier Bardem won the Oscar for best performance as a psychopath with a funny haircut, and Tommy Lee Jones didn't win the Oscar for best thing anybody ever did, though he should have.
Point bein', even in the contest between man and steer, the issue is not certain.
This game is a Couch Potato fever dream, with storylines to make Marvel Comics jealous:
Texas A&M scored 107 points and rang up 1,200 yards in two games against Rice and Sam Houston – which are small colleges, not a side dish and a dead Texas governor. Alabama gained an anemic 200 yards and still beat Virginia Tech 35-10, proving that the best defense is a good defense.
Gratuitous quote from the great film No Country for Old Men: Whatcha' got ain't nothin' new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity.
Yikes. Unless Oregon commits five turnovers over a period of six successive snaps, this doesn't afford a hopeful opportunity for the rebuilding Volunteers. Worth watching if you enjoy those Discovery Channel documentaries about volcanoes obliterating ancient villages.
Gratuitous quote from the great film No Country for Old Men: Aw, hells bells. They even shot the dog.
Spread offenses and land-grant institutions collide, and these two teams don't like each other, Bob.
Dan Mullen wanted Cam Newton and didn't get him; Gus Malzahn did and now Auburn has a crystal football and Malzahn has a "Head Coach" sign on his office door.
Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall can throw it over yonder mountain, but there's no telling where it might land. Tre Mason is a cool, little running back and the Tigers are already two-thirds of the way to equaling last year's win total.
In the season opener, Mississippi State's offense managed a field goal and Bulldog defenders spent a long afternoon forlornly following Oklahoma State skill players downfield. The next week, the Bulldogs scored infinity points against the egregious Alcorn State.
It's hard to tell exactly how good either of these teams is up to now, so I guess we'll at least find out which one is better Saturday night.
Gratuitous quote from the great film No Country for Old Men: Call it, Friendo
Steve Spurrier himself said South Carolina needs to get down to business and beat these guys or it's not going to be any fun around Columbia. South Carolina is struggling for meaning in an uncertain world after an up-and-down start to the season. The Gamecocks slogged to a win over North Carolina then got a little bit hammered by Georgia.
The Georgia game was really fun until the Gamecocks got goal-line-stood in the fourth period when they went for it on fourth-and-inches out of the shotgun. It gives one pause, mother of mercy, if Georgia learns how to play defense, who shall dare to stand against them? On the other hand, it looked like the USC tackle tripped and fell down.
Vanderbilt and Ole Miss played one of the funnest games you'd ever want to watch to open the season, as Vandy blew leads large and small and wide receivers from both squads ran up and down the field with defenders in futile pursuit. Last week, the Commodores ravaged nearby Austin Peay and it was terrible to behold.
Gratuitous quote from the great film No Country for Old Men:
Nervous Accountant: Are you going to shoot me?
Anton Chigurh: That depends. Do you see me?
The other ones: Louisville continues to make its case as a BCS contender by playing SEC power Kentucky; Southern Miss heads to Arkansas, which has yet to play anybody; LSU may cover the 37 points against Kent State if somebody tells them this is Nick Saban's alma mater; Ole Miss sees if it can turn the dial on Mack Brown's seat up to "incinerate."

Hank Blalock, Michael Young and Mark Teixeira also finished in the top five in the American League at their respective positions. Blalock and Young, along with Francisco Cordero and Kenny Rogers, ended up making the team to give Texas its largest All-Star representation ever.
In addition, prospect John Danks participated in the New York Mercantile All-Star Futures Game, ex-Rangers Will Clark and Rich Gossage played in the Taco Bell Legends and Celebrity Softball Game, and Ray Ramirez serves as one of two American League trainers. And, for good measure, mascot Rangers Captain has come to Houston as well.
The combination of this sizable Rangers presence coupled with an in-state All-Star site likely has led a number of Rangers fans to make the trip down I-45. Rangers caps and other fan adornments had a conspicuous Minute Maid Park concourse presence that rivaled the ubiquitous Yankees pinstripes and trailed only the hometown Astros.
Lonnie Ferrell, from Arlington, made the journey south and thought the large Texas contingent appropriate.
"It was obvious all five of them deserved it, whether they got the votes or not. I was surprised that Soriano got so many. But without Young and Blalock, and those two pitchers, it would have been an atrocity had they not been named to [the AL team]," he said, clad in his Rangers shirt and cap.
Jaime Nava, a Rangers fan recently relocated to Houston, listed two reasons for his elation at seeing a large part of his favorite team in his new town.
"The Rangers are finally in first place again," said Nava, wearing his red throwback Rangers cap. "And since I hate all the Houston teams, I'm happy to wear my Texas Rangers hat down here."
The All-Star break standings, which feature the Rangers atop the division for the first time since they wore the red cap Nava favored, seemed to have a lot of influence on Rangers rooter enthusiasm. Rob Marrow, another transplant to Houston, wore his Rangers cap and jersey to the John Hancock All-Star Fanfest.
"Right now, with Hank Blalock, and Kenny Rogers and Cordero, they're doing really well," Marrow gushed about his team. "The Rangers are actually, compared to all the seasons I've been in Arlington, they're actually doing really well."
Ferrell summed up the feelings expressed by most fans interviewed, saying, "I had no idea they would be this good. But this is probably the most exciting Rangers team I've seen in many years, because they're so hungry and they're young and they're exciting."
Exciting enough, apparently, to motivate some Rangers fans to make an investment in coming to see them play on perhaps the biggest stage in the game.

The view was great. We had a table
by the floor to ceiling windows and we could see the pool and ocean. The brunch it's were eclectic. Along with the typical breakfast items, they served quail and lamb, Spanish inspired dishes (tapas), a seafood section with large shrimp and oysters on the half shell along with fresh sushi."

We attended Mother's Day brunch
and it was lovely. The management team is wonderful! I called several times to add more guests to my party and they we're very accommodating. The food and service were exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant! "

We enjoyed the vast array of
lavish brunch offerings and great service. More stars would be awarded if the manager did not give us a hassle about a price in discrepancy for the Brunch. We received a confirmation for $59/per person but they insisted on charging us more. They only finally honored the printed confirmation price after an unnecessary confrontation. Poor customer service by the management staff."

For the price the selection was
too small. Not enough on the salad bar. Not enough hot seafood items. The layout was confusing."

We are staying at the
Fontainebleau and thought we would try a restaurant I. The hotel. We started with calamari which was soooo salty and the sauce was very "mayonaissey". We also had the lobster guacamole which was very salty as well. Then I had mixed greens salad which had ingredients in it that the server couldn't even identify and was also salty. My husband had a caprese salad which was also salty. At that point we decided we were full. In their defense, the waiter told the manager that the food was oversalted and they brought us a dessert on the house. Still cost a fortune like everything else in south beach but the service was great. We may have caught them on an off night. "

The food was good but a pretty
standard atmosphere. Nothing too exciting. "

Miami. The brunch es very good. i enjoyed the biggest scallops i have tried ever. The prime steak is awesome and the lamb, great. The funghi risotto, delicious. I certainly recommend it. I will come back."

We ate at Blade Sushi, next door
to Vida. If you like Sushi, this is the place to go. VERY good! Pricey as sushi will be, but well worth it. Great drinks and wait staff excellent. We would go again!"

Arrived in Miami and was staying
at the Fountainblu and needed to get a quick bite to eat with my son. We heard about Vida at the hotel so we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and food. We also went there for breakfast today which was very good."

This all inclusive "Sunday Brunch"
is the best around (not to be confused with their regular breakfast offerings). The extensive food selections included great sushi, salads, grilled meats, vegetable dishes, killer blue cheese gnocchi, large fresh shrimp, lox, custom omelets, delectable desserts, and unlimited bloody marys or mimosa. Of special note on deserts....the selection was fantastic and always includes house made ice cream-yum! Price includes parking. Early seating times are very busy due to hotel guests using this same facility for regular breakfast service. Also, opt for a table in the area closest to the open kitchen where the hot foods are served. This location avoids traveling through tables and traffic. Great brunch!"

Be prepared to pawn your jewelry.
Can you believe $70 for a salad, fried calamari and a tuna roll? oh add a bottle of pelligrino. While it includes a service charge (...ie. gratuity--so be careful you don't add another 15% inadvertently)....this is still an outrageous amount for lunch.......even for a beach hotel! Be forewarned."
Dined on 12/4/2013
Very little ambiance. More a place
for breakfast. Went to the Thanksgiving buffet and will not return. Food was good...not great. Was not expecting table clothes....but not even place mats on the tables. More an informal walk in with flip-flops type place."
Dined on 11/28/2013
For $65 pp I expected the buffet
to be top notch. Dining at the Fontainebleau many years ago used to be a sublime experience. Sadly it no longer is. The stone crabs were thawed from frozen and dripping with moisture you could squeeze out of the meat, served without the iconic mustard sauce. They had a large variety but most hot dishes were not hot, the prime rib sub-par. The desserts were just OK."
Dined on 11/28/2013
By far the best brunch I've ever
had! Best variety best selection best combination best freshness you name it! Only complaint is the service is not great...manager is fabulous but wait staff only ok but it's worth going to bc of the food!!!!"
Dined on 11/10/2013
Food was excellent but our server
was very poor. He didn't check how our meals were and very slow and taking orders for appies , drinks and main course."
Dined on 10/27/2013
I love it seriously ... I love
brunch but, I think I never come back I prefer the Biltmore brunch it was very poor in food and dessert compare with biltmore I'm so sorry but I have to he honest maybe u can changed . Thanks"
Dined on 10/27/2013
I met a friend for a late lunch
and the restaurant was only 10% full. The food was good, the service was better. The waiters were friendly, and eager to please. The biggest draw back is that I had to pay $20 to valet park (plus tip) which made the lunch more expensive. If the restaurant validates, the hostess/waiter should have offered to stamp my parking ticket upon learning (they asked) that I wasn't a hotel guest. If the restaurant doesn't validate, it should. The parking is a major deterrent for me when I next want to meet a friend on Miami Beach."
Dined on 10/24/2013
Amazing service! the food it was
very good, you must have to try the salmon!!! delicious,very well cooked and perfect flavor with the cuscous and herbs! children's menu it was very good and you have for them healthy options like chicken with veggies but they just need to update the veggies dish for be more atractive to kids! the fruit salad for children: *****!!! mix of the best fresh fruits!!! also they have drawing fun activities and as a prize if they eat the whole meal: a big warm delicious chocolate cookie! kids loved this restaurant & we came back on the enxt day! the only not good thing, wines...so so...and the mojito cocktel they must have to improve, it wasn't good..."
Dined on 10/14/2013
Overall we had an amazing time at
vida! The food was delicious! The entire staff was extremely accomodating to my friends many allergies and ensuring she would be able to have just as good time and leave with a full tummy! The lobster guacamole was great but extremely overpowered with red onions. Skip cappuccinos and coffee though as they came out weak and cold. Otherwise everything at our table was perfect!"

Our daughter of 9 loves steak, so
we chose Vida. Hard to believe but everything went perfectly well. Food amd service was outstanding, and the beer menu was extensive with foreign beers. We would come back for our farewell dinner."
Dined on 7/19/2013
A lovely relaxing dining
experience with great ambience, rather romantic. This was our first visit to Vida and we would definitely return. We all ordered the rotisserie chicken which was a very generous portion - we ordered an extra plate of vegetables as we felt they were not enough in comparison to the chicken portion. The service was excellent with friendly staff. We didn't have wine so cannot comment."
Dined on 7/5/2013
I had the salmon which was
actually very good. My parents had the Cobia and beef dish and said it was good but not anything to go crazy over. The service was excellent though with the waiter being very knowledgable of the menu and wines. He was able to suggest a wine to go with all of our dishes. We had a great experience."

The Maui Maui fish did not have
any seasoning AT all. It was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time"
Dined on 6/18/2013
There was a great assortment of
dishes from traditional breakfast fare to sushi and cerviche, and everything in between. All were of incredible quality...not just for a buffet! The desserts were fabulous and the service was excellent."
Dined on 6/7/2013
I would recommend Vida. The food
is very fresh, flavorful and presented nicely. The staff is very friendly and will cater to your every need. The restaurant is very nice inside but casual attire is also acceptable. A little pricey but you would pay the same at other restaurants where the food is just ok. I don't mind paying the price if the food is this good. Worth every penny for food this fine."

Service was good but a bit rushed.
Food was OK. Nothing unusual to pick from."

My girlfriend and I were staying
at Fontainebleau for the weekend and decided to do their Sunday Brunch and were very happy that we did. While the price tag, much like everything else at Fontainebleau was shy high ($180 inc. tax and gratuity for brunch for 2), I had zero complaints about it for what we received. Breakfast buffet, lunch buffet, dessert buffet, and even a raw bar with awesome salmon tartare. Can't forget all the Mimosas and Bloody Mary cocktails you can drink. For me, running a restaurant and eating out a minimum of twice a week, you have to do something pretty special to even get my attention for a buffet and Vida delivered. This is something to definitely check out. Make sure to make a reservation. Place gets packed fast."
Dined on 5/19/2013
It was our first time we chose
vida for the American food menu we had seen online. We were put all the way in the back corner ( even though the restaurant was nearly empty). The hostess was very nice and pleasant, but our waiter was far from that. He was very cold and serious and made our dining experience awkward. I'm in the hospitality industry and I have always been taught to not only be an "order taker" , but also make sure you provide a great experience for your guests. Especially if gratuity is included, you should have to earn it."

Love this place! Amazing
Experience, the food, service and waiting time was more than outstanding."

Had a wonderful brunch. The food
was excellent. Every item was expertly prepared. Raw bar had many choices and everything was deliciously fresh."
Dined on 5/12/2013
I could see the effort everyone
went through for Mother's Day but the food was just fair: crab legs watery, Beef Wellington dry etc. The service was wonderful but it was too dark inside. This was an afternoon brunch, it didn't need to be ambient like a cave. The worst thing was being held captive by waiting 45 minutes for our car to be handed back to us. That was a shambolic scene on the steps with everyone from babies to seniors waiting up to two hours for their cars to be returned to them. I know you contract that service out but it was still under your name. No one seemed to be in charge and no one cared how long we waited. Never again."
Dined on 5/12/2013
The Buffet was very expensive, Not
as good as before, The meat selection was not very good as the only meat dish was lamp. The Prime rib is much better. Looks like they are not making the buffet as nice as before and cutting cost. Its shows."
Dined on 4/14/2013
The service was inaceptable, we
waited 90 minutes for our food and we ask to cancel the order, and we where ignored, I will never recommend this place to any body."
Dined on 4/5/2013
Ate here for lunch on our first
day of arrival at the Fontainebleau and again for their Sunday Brunch. Their Sunday Brunch was amazing! First off our server for Sunday Brunch, Isaac, was outstanding. Couldn't ask for a better server. He was very polite, friendly, and attentive. He definitely more than earned the automatic 18% gratuity added on the check. Thank you Isaac! The selection of food was appetizing with a variety of selections to fit your palate. They had an omelet station, carving station, seafood, dessert station, and even sushi with Tuna tartare! The seats were comfortable with great lighting. Worth the visit!"

LYSISTRATAby Germaine Greer and Phil Willmott
Directed by Heather Corwin
This COMEDY takes place a long time ago. Athens is in the grip of a futile, destructive war with Sparta and its men are fighting abroad, taken away from their wives and families for long periods at a time. The women of Athens have had enough. At dawn, in a men's bathhouse, leading socialite Lysistrata gathers an assembly of Athenian and Spartan women to discuss negotiating a peace treaty. Their tactics are simple: they will refuse their men sex until peace is declared. The serious subject of war remains prominent amid the comedy filled battle of the sexes.
