Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale negotiated the 2008 draft-night trade that brought Kevin Love to Minnesota, but the former Timberwolves vice president of basketball operations said he can't take credit for Love's success.
"He's exceeded what everybody thought he would do," McHale said after the Rockets' shootaround today at Target Center. "You start talking about averaging 25 (points) and 15 (rebounds), there was nobody in the draft that year that you thought would do that. People saw Dwight Howard in high school, and nobody was saying that about him. Kevin's having a phenomenal year."
McHale is in town to coach his first game against the Timberwolves (7-9) tonight at Target Center. While running the Timberwolves' basketball operations in 2008, McHale drafted University of Southern California guard O.J. Mayo with the third overall pick, then traded him to Memphis for Love in an eight-player deal. The Grizzlies had selected Love No. 5 overall.
McHale coached Love for 63 games in Love's rookie season after McHale replaced Randy Wittman, who was fired after 19 games. McHale said he and Love developed a good relationship and "kept in touch every now and then."
"He means a lot to me," Love said. "He's the reason why I'm here now. I'm thankful for what he's done for me. He's somebody I have a lot of respect for."
Love, in his fourth season with the Timberwolves, is averaging 24.1 points and 14.1 rebounds and leads the NBA with 15 double-doubles. Last season, he was voted the NBA's Most Improved Player and was named to the Western Conference All-Star team. He was named last week as one of 20 finalists for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Airport area set to soar
Hampton Inn tip of iceberg
Winnipeg's airport region has another new hotel in development and may see several more over the next few years.
The newest is a $19-million, six-storey, 135-room Hampton Inn Winnipeg Airport hotel that has started construction on Berry Street south of Wellington Avenue and is expected to be completed by early 2013.
Anupam Kothari, one of the developers and owners of the franchised business said he believes his new hotel will satisfy some unmet demand in the market for new, high-quality hotels.
"One of the reasons we like the Winnipeg market is that we feel there is a need for world-class hotels here," said Kothari. "In the next three to four years we expect there will be seven to eight world-class hotels built in Winnipeg but still we believe there is a huge need."
Kothari and his partner, Nizar Mawani, own a mid-priced Sheraton Hotel in Cambridge, Ont., and operate a successful real estate and finance business from their headquarters in Mississauga, Ont.
Their new Hampton Inn Winnipeg Airport will feature free hot breakfasts and high-speed Internet access in the lobby and each guest's room will include a flat-screen HD TV, a fridge and a microwave.
With 1,900 Hampton Inns already on the market, it is one of the fastest-growing hotel brands in the world. Part of the larger Hilton Worldwide hotel group, there are three different versions of the mid-priced Hampton Hotels -- Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn by Hilton and Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton.
There are 35 in Canada with another 15 in development, including the one in Winnipeg.
Jim Baker, president & CEO of the Manitoba Hotel Association, said it's always good when new name-brand properties enter the market because it means more choice for consumers and business travellers.
Jeff Curry, director of development in Eastern Canada for Hilton Worldwide, said there are all sorts of demand-generators in the Winnipeg market that would inspire new hotel developments here, such as the return of the Winnipeg Jets, the development of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the new IKEA store.
And even though there have been a lot of new hotel rooms built in the last few years in the Winnipeg market, Curry said newer properties have the edge over older ones.
"We look at the demand that's currently in place versus the supply that's being offered," Curry said. "If supply is a substandard supply and the demand is still there then there is an opportunity to replace the substandard product with newer product. That's not to say those (older) hotels will disappear from the system but they will slowly but surely start to trickle away as newer and better product comes onto the market."
There was formerly a Hampton Inn on Main Street that has been re-branded Humphry Inn. Curry said it was an old prototype design that was part of a legacy Hampton Inn concept prior to Hilton's acquisition of the chain in 1999.
Keith Levit, president of Lakeview Management Inc., agrees there is an unprecedented amount of new rooms being built in Winnipeg.
Lakeview owns the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel across from the old Winnipeg terminal and is building the $20-million, six-storey, 80-room Grand Winnipeg Airport Hotel that's under construction across the road from the new Richardson International Airport terminal.
"It will be a challenge for the older properties," he said. "The newer properties get the business and the older ones will suffer."
He said they will have to invest in their properties or reduce rates to keep their business.
Baker said Winnipeg's airport-region market is growing so quickly because, in addition to catering to the air-traveller market, the region is also close to the Polo Park shopping region.
In addition to Lakeview's Grand Hotel and the new Hampton Inn, there is a $14-million conversion of the former Howard Johnson Hotel into a Holiday Inn, all being developed near the airport.

Last week, RWW posted video of Michele Bachmann calling the 9-11 and Benghazi attacks God's judgment on America. A few weeks earlier, at Liberty Counsel's Awakening conference, Bachmann insisted that public policy should reflect what she thinks God says – and she urged American Christians to focus on "spiritual warfare" in order to promote right-wing policies.

While the turnout was not big enough to fill half of the sanctuary, the event gave an insight into the state of mind of America's Religious Right leaders. The overall message of the weekend was that America is in spiritual decline and on the verge of total destruction at the hands of dictator-emulating, jihad-enabling socialist President Barack Obama and his...

Yesterday, it was reported that Rep. Michele Bachmann was under investigation for improperly using PAC donations to pay her staff during her presidential campaign ... and, for Glenn Beck, this is simply further proof that the United States government has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. As Beck sees it, Bachmann has been a target of the Brotherhood for a long time because she has been "uber clear" about the threat posed by the organization and so, in retaliation, the State Department has been relocating hundreds of Muslim Somali refugees into her congressional district....

Skateboard trucks are made from several parts. The axle is the pin that runs through the trucks that the wheels will attach to. The hangar is the largest part - it is the metal, somewhat triangular area that the axle runs through. Hangars are often made of softer metal for better grinding, but not always. The kingpin is the large bolt that holds the hangar in place, and it runs through the middle of a rubbery donut called the bushing into the metal baseplate. Bushings come in various harnesses, and the kingpin can be adjusted to be either more or less stiff. Some skateboarders like loose trucks, meaning that they turn easier due to the kingpin being loser, and some skaters like their trucks tighter. It's a personal preference.
Skateboard trucks come in various sizes and colors, and many companies make trucks with special features. Like everything with skateboarding, it's up to the skateboarder when deciding what size or brand of trucks to buy. If you want some help, take a look at this Top 10 Skateboard Trucks list before you buy skateboard trucks.

Tokyo Ryokan is nestled into a quiet residential area just few blocks from Asakusa Station. The Ryokan fulfills its promise of being a traditional Japanese in and upon entering visitors are greeted with the smell of fresh pinewood and tatami mats.
The interior, besides being traditional, is so clean and quiet that it's almost comatose. The staff are kind and courteous and while they are helpful and do speak good English they are frequently not around during business hours which could pose a bit of a problem for tourists who need advice on where to go.
The Ryokan is located just down the street from a large shrine with tons of shops and restaurants for those wanting to take in the local culture and staying here has a more authentic feel, but it would be nice if the staff were a bit more available.Recommended for:BackpackersBudget TravelersLocal CultureStudents
- Tokyo RyokanCrina L.Member ofAdventure TravelersArt & Design LoversFirst to Review
This "ryokan" was designed by the owners to be modern looking and minimalist. It's really beautiful It also only has three rooms and it's cheap, so book in advance. My only complaint is that there's no bath, but at this price, if that's your thing, you can use a public bath in the area. The owner is easy to talk to and the "ryokan" is in a living neighborhood, with schools, temples, stores and sumo stalls, so it's a cool place to stay and go for walks. This is a really traditional area, so there are a lot of those little shops that are totally specialized. Like if you need boots for your ramen making uniform, or you want a little plastic replica made of the sushi you serve in your shop, this is the area to come to. It's fun to walk around, even if you're not in the market for one of these things.Recommended for:Art & Design LoversBudget TravelersHistory BuffsLocal Culture

This Ryokan isn't that big but it's cheap. Also this Ryokan's owner speaks English very well and knows a lot of information about what's going on around this ryokan. He talked to us about specific sumo players in the near by sumo stalls, so I imagine he keeps up to date on sumo events, so if you want to see a match while you're in town, he might be able to help you.
This place has a really peaceful feeling. It's a nice place to stay if you want to stay in a residential, rather than business area in Tokyo.

text: Arrested African-American officers of the 477th Bombardment Group at Freeman Field, Indiana, await transport to Godman Field, Kentucky, April 1945. The Freeman Field Mutiny was a series of incidents at Freeman Army Airfield, a United States Army Air Forces base near Seymour, Indiana, in 1945 in which African American members of the 477th Bombardment Group attempted to integrate an all-white officers' club. The mutiny resulted in 162 separate arrests of black officers, some of them twice. Three were court-martialed on relatively minor charges. One was convicted. In 1995, the Air Force officially vindicated the actions of the African-American officers, set aside the single court-martial conviction and removed letters of reprimand from the permanent files of 15 of the officers. The mutiny is generally regarded by historians of the Civil Rights Movement as an important step toward full integration of the armed forces and as a model for later efforts to integrate public facilities through civil disobedience.

The Hoopla-Chiatto
I recently got a job in a hotel here in Alaska. I work in the gift shop/espresso bar. I now have an understanding of the frustrations of baristas.
Among other things is dealing with people ordering "regular coffee" without telling us what size or if you want room for cream.
I don't understand what you want.
Need more info.
Anyways, I posted about it on Facebook. One of my friends said something along the lines of "just convince them that the triple shot espresso hoopla-chiatto that you're handing them is the norm."
And I loved the name Hoopla-chiatto so much that I invented it today.
It's basically a latte, except with a little bit of vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, Irish Cream, and almonds syrups, adding up to about two shots of flavor.
So, go to your favorite local coffee shop and order and a Hoopla-chiatto. Tell me what you think.
Golden Boy and Wild Thing go on an Adventure
So, to explain the title a bit, my mother has dubbed my boyfriend Golden Boy. I am, naturally, Wild Thing. We sound like superheroes and it's cool.
Now, about our adventure. Hiking. 15 miles. Steep hills and bogs. Sunrise. Climbing rocks. Much, much more.
We set out bright and early because Golden Boy wanted to watch the sunrise with me out there (all my girl readers go 'awww').
We hiked the trail backwards, meaning we got the steepest incline over with first. And it was steep. The cold, somewhat thinner air didn't help with the breathing. People, I just came home from Mississippi, about as sea-level and flat as you get. And suddenly I was hiking up hills in Alaska. I sounded like I had asthma.
To help though, the last time Golden Boy had hiked the trail, he left little notes for me along the way. Super cute, I know.
After getting the hardest part over with, we watched the sunrise from a pretty nice view. Then we continued on, our next goal being to get to 'his rock'.
We made a couple stops along the way to his rock, one of them at a different rock, which we climbed halfway way up to this spot he called the crows nest. That's what it looked like. Just big enough for the two of us. We sat there and talked and watched the sky for a while before heading on our way.
When we finally got to his rock, about 9 miles in, we felt rather accomplished. His rock is the highest spot on the trail. From there, you can see the hills going on forever in all directions. In the distance the mountains broke the monotony of green hills with their cool white angles. There was a bit of a breeze, but besides the slight rustling of my hair against clothes, it was completely quiet.
We felt like the only two people in the world.
For a few minutes everything was absolutely perfect. It was just us, taking in the glorious sight of the abundant hills, completely silent. I didn't want to leave, but if we didn't get moving, my mother was going to think we had gotten eaten by bears.
Not even joking.
The rest of the hike was somewhat uneventful besides me rolling my ankle a bit and Golden Boy carrying my backpack for me (which, by the way, was rather heavy)
Every once in a while he would carry me through the boggy parts. He didn't want me to get my feet wet.
The last three miles were quite miserable, we were both slowly dying from hunger, even though we had food. We didn't want to stop long enough to eat it. My knees, ankles, feet, and left shoulder were all hurting and I'm sure he wasn't the feeling the greatest either.
But let me tell you, after ten hours of hiking, Subway tastes like manna from heaven. It was the best sandwich I had ever eaten in my entire life.
And afterwards Golden Boy massaged my feet. So I was happy.
Any of you guys enjoy hiking? I want to hear some of your stories!
Confessions of a Ninja Ballerina: Placement Classes
I recently went to Mississippi for a summer dance intensive at Ballet Magnificat. In order to get put in a level you have to take a placement class. I went last year, so I kind of knew what to expect from placement class that first day. But that doesn't make it any easier.
For any of you who have done a placement class or audition of any sort, you know what it's like. You know what to expect, yet nerves course through your body every second, your mind buzzes with the combination, trying desperately to perfect it before the judges glance at you. The fear of messing up can be almost crippling sometimes.
Yet, we push through. Here's a couple things to keep in mind in placement classes/auditions:
- Do your best. I know, it's cliché and overused, but if you honestly give your all into everything, you're going to feel pretty good about yourself. Holding back, whether consciously or subconsciously will cause regret and a lot of 'what if…?'.
- Breathe. Sure, this seems pretty easy, but dancers tend to hold their breath a lot during fast combinations, or even just hard ones. When you don't breathe, you get tense. Tense muscles don't move in a nice, flowing way. So just remember; in. Out. In. Out.
- Smile. A lot of times, the judges are not only looking for technique, but also a nice performance quality. So smiling a little doesn't hurt. Or just any emotion at all. No robots.
- Enjoy yourself. You'll never be happy with a placement class if you see it as just another things you could possibly fail at. Look at it like a normal class, with all sorts of new things to learn. Remember how much you love dance and just be happy that you get to do what you love.
So what kind of placement class experiences have you had? I'd love to hear about them in the comments!
Confessions of a Ninja Ballerina: Strength
I'm a ballerina. My legs are super strong, so are my feet.
But, my arms? Nooooot so much.
I'm woman enough to admit that when I first started taekwan-do I could barely do ten push-ups, and that's only going half way down.
Needless to say, I wasn't the most impressive person there.
Over about four years of TKD, I didn't improve much, mostly because I avoided push-ups like plague.
But there was hope.
One of my coworkers, Aaron, started making the kids in the class we teach together do push-ups. Of course, I was expected to set a good example and do the push-ups too.
So, every week, twice a week, I would grudgingly sink to my knees, straighten my legs until I was on my feet, and stretch out into a less-than-fantastic push-up position. We would then proceed to do 10, disgusting, horrific push-ups.
I still didn't improve much. Maybe I got through the ten grueling push-ups a little easier, but I still couldn't go down too far.
Then I realized that I didn't actually want to improve that much. I hated push-ups, so why be good at them?
Lately I've been pushing myself a little bit more. Going down just a touch farther and forcing myself all the way back up, no matte how hard. I won't pretend it's purely self motivation that propels me through my least favorite exercise at TKD. The teasing from the guys helps a lot. Besides Aaron, we have an army dad taking classes. He likes giving me a hard time about my push-ups, all in fun, but still. Drives me to show them that I can do push-ups too.
I have most definitely been improving though. I can get almost all the way down for the first five.
I suppose the only point to this blog post is that striving to do better at something is half the battle. If you don't want to improve, you won't.
So go do your push-ups like a man.
The Truth About the Last Frontier
I live in Alaska, you know that Russian territory down by Hawaii. My home is an igloo. I have a dog team that pulls my sled to school in the winter, and to friends' igloos in the "summer". My sister was once mauled by a penguin. My last igloo was destroyed by a polar bear. It's always dark.
Okay, I'm here to dispel some myths about Alaska that the Lower 48 has. And Hawaii…. why isn't it the Lower 49? Don't ask me.
First off: We don't live in igloos. We live in real houses, with walls, beds, and tv. We even have heat. Most houses up here have a fireplace.
We are not a part of Russia! Or Canada! Or a separate country! We are, in fact, a state. Neither are we down by Hawaii. They just show it that way on some maps to save room. Because, Alaska is as big as the continental US, if you include the islands. Yeah, it's that big.
Not everyone owns sled dogs. Lots of people do, but not everyone. No, the main form of transportation up here is cars. We have roads. Paved roads. Well… some of them are paved. Most of them are paved.
We actually have a summer. It even gets into the 80's every summer. Sometimes it reaches the 90's.
There. Are. No. Penguins. In. Alaska.
That's Antarctica. The other pole.
Yes, there are polar bears, but only way, way, way up north. Arctic Circle. No, the bears you have to worry about are the grizzly bears. Black bears aren't very threatening.
Alaskans see the sun too, just like every other part of the world. Granted, days get pretty short in the winter, it gets dark around 4 in December, the sun doesn't rise again until around 11 the next day. At least in my neck of the woods. However, in the summer, the sun hardly ever sets. Seriously, it's called the Land of the Midnight Sun for a reason…
So what other questions do you have about Alaska? I'll be happy to answer them :)

The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic: The Parallel Lives of People as Plants: Keeping the Seeds Aliveby Martin Prechtel
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Martín Prechtel's experiences growing up on a Pueblo Indian reservation, his years of apprenticing to a Guatemalan shaman, and his flight from Guatemala's brutal civil war to life in the U.S. inform this lyrical blend of memoir, cultural commentary, and spiritual call to arms. The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic is both an epic story and a cry to the heart of humanity based on the author's realization that human survival depends on keeping alive the seeds of our "original forgotten spiritual excellence."
Prechtel relates our current state of ecological crisis to the rapid disappearance of biodiversity, indigenous cultures, and shared human values. He demonstrates how real human culture is exterminated when real (not genetically modified) seeds are lost. Like plants that become extinct once their required conditions are no longer met, authentic, unmonetized human cultures can no longer survive in the modern world. To "keep the seeds alive"—both literally and metaphorically—they must be planted, harvested, and replanted, just as human culture must become truly engaging and meaningful to the soul, as necessary as food is to the body. The viable seeds of spirituality and culture that lie dormant within us need to "sprout" into broad daylight to create real sets of cultures welcome on Earth.
About the Author
Leading thinker, writer, and artist Martín Prechtel teaches internationally and at his school, Bolad's Kitchen. He is the best-selling author of Secrets of the Talking Jaguar. He lives in Ojo Caliente, NM.

MPs' expenses: Harriet Harman tries to defend the indefensible
Harriet Harman, as Leader of the House, has apparently been delegated to defend the indefensible. She has been touring the broadcasting studios to disseminate her message: we (Labour) may look bad at the moment but we are innocents abroad when it comes to really cynical corruption.
For that, she makes clear, you have to look to the Tories. Where virtually all those seemingly culpable ministers are actually dedicated public servants, there was only one member of the House in her view who had no sense of duty to country – and that was (the Conservative) Derek Conway.
This is an outrageous smear whose gratuitousness is matched only by its bizarre irrelevance. Even by recent Labour standards of political game-playing, this marks a new low.

So the last batch I made, I had something like 5 lbs of DME. It took me almost half an hour to add all this to my water after getting it to boil (I did turn off the heat while adding). I've noticed that while adding DME, the stuff is so fine that it instantly wants to clump to itself, and cling to the bag it's in. Does anyone have an ideas to mediate this issue? I was afraid to just dump it all in at once, and have it clump together in the hot water. I suppose I could try that, but I'm curious how others add their's.,
I just dump it in and stir. The heat will dissolve any clumps that form.
It dissolves just about as fast as it clumps. The one thing I would do is first put it into a bowl or something that you can dip into the pot. That way when it clumps to it, you can rinse it right off into the pot.
Also, you are right to cut the heat, and you should stir really well while pouring too. I usually leave the heat off for a few and stir all the way to the bottom to make sure I get it all dissolved, but I am probably going to the extreme.
OK, thanks for the tips. I had considered putting the DME into another container for ease of pouring, but hand't tried yet. I guess I was being overly cautious when adding the DME to the water.
Well, youre adding it to the boil, so anything you dip into it will be OK. As far as being cautious, we all are in the beginning, and better to be too cautious than not enough.
lol super annoying when the steam coming out of the brew kettle is causing the DME to clump up on the side of the bag.
I'm going to use the "pour it into a bowl" idea, and then I can always pour some water into the bowl to rinse it out - much easier to do this than trying to get the stick residue off your hands and/or off the sides of the bag.

" Brand: Dove / Texture: Cream / Type: Moisturiser / Subcategory: Body Wash/Cleanser / Suitable for: Body / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses, Moisturizes, "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I really love Dove products and all my family that buy me a little gift at Christmas since I now have 2 children always buy me Dive sets so I never have to buy any myself.
The Dove bodywashes come in a 250ml bottle and they sell at just over £2 usually however you can find them in many places at £1 if you look at the correct time and the supermarkets often put them in offer at £1. There are now loads of different types and fragrances in the Dove range too so you have a wide choice especially if you don't like the smell of Dove as personally I think you either love the smell or are not too keen.
The Dove body wash comes in a wash plastic bottle which is much narrower at the top than the bottom and looks rather like a raindrop, there is a royal blue area on the lid and then some colour in the detail on the bottle but other than that it is a crisp white. There is a flip top lid on the bottle which is very stiff to begin with and in general I open it before I get in the shower and get wet.
Dove promises there is ¼ moisturising cream in the product and the bodywash is really creamy, the body wash is white in colour and has a real shine to it. The wash lathers up very well and it feels really silky as you wash with it, I find the wash rinses off my skin very easily and leaves my skin feeling clean with no residue.
I find that my skin smells clean, I cannot describe the Dove smell properly but simply clean and fresh and I really like it as a body wash as then I can slather my skin in butters and I don't have 2 smells colliding with each other. I love how soft and moisturised my skin feels and I sometimes don't have time for moisturising and my skin feels great with just the effects of this product.
I have nothing bad to say about this product, if you prefer more of a smell then there are others in the range for you, the product lathers well, leaves skin feeling great and it has a decent price tag too, 5 stars from me.
Dove products are most of the time highly recommended and when looking for a new body wash to try I thought I'd give Dove's triple moisturising body wash a go.
The body wash is widely available to purchase from the likes of Asda, Tesco and places like Boots. A 250ml bottle of it will cost around £2 but can occasionally be found on special offers such as 2 for £3.
The packaging is quite typical of Dove body wash products being presented in a tear drop shaped bottle. The front of the bottle contains the product name and tells us that it contains one quarter moisturising cream, the back of the bottle has all of the normal information, ingredients etc. The top of the bottle features a flip top lid to get the body wash out of the bottle.
I find the lid is quite stiff to open the first few uses which can be particularly annoying when you are dripping wet and your grip isn't that great anyway. It does ease off after it's been used a few times so it isn't too much of a problem. The body wash itself has a very creamy consistency which gives a nice rich feeling to it. The colour of the wash also matches the consistency being pearly white. It is definitely a luxurious body wash when it's first dispensed. I was a little disappointed with the scent though, I prefer fruity or floral scented body washes but this didn't have any kind of scent to it, a clean scent is the only way to describe it.
Nine times out of ten I use a body puff to wash myself and I find that a tiny bit of this body wash creates a huge lather so you really don't need to use much of it to clean yourself. The same applies to if I don't use a body puff too and you really don't need to use much so the bottle does seem to last a long time compared to other body washes. Once the body wash is rinsed off there is no trace of it left behind. I find my skin feels refreshed and moisturised after I've showered and it definitely feels like my skin has been taken care of. I still use other body moisturisers after using this but this is more down to habit, I don't think other moisturisers are particularly needed.
I'd definitely recommend this Dove triple moisturising body wash. It feels luxurious when you use it and leaves skin feeling great. I would have liked a more feminine scent to it but we can't have everything our own way!
Having used this body wash as my main choice for well over a year now, I'm definitely not about to jump ship to another.
The style of the bottle reflects the brand perfectly. Natural and white, with a hint of blue it's as if it is telling you how 'natural' the product inside it is. I suppose it could be classed as a little simple for some, but generally the Dove brand is respected and well known so don't let that put you off!
The wash itself is lovely, it feels really creamy and thick so you definitely feel like you have a quality, luxurious product. A little goes a long way and you can lather it up really well, so you shouldn't need to buy a new bottle too often!
It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth, and as someone who has quite sensitive and dry skin I can say that this has made a difference since I started using it. It is an everyday product that will help keep your skin moisturised - basically, it does what it says it will!
I have brought dove products on and off for years, I hadnt brought any for while so i saw this on offer for £1 for a 250ml bottle in sainsburys.
The packaging is a nice white bottle that is very simple yet eye catching, it states that its triple moisturising because firstly it cleanses and the 1/4 moisturising cream thats in it smoothes and softens the skin which leaves you feeling smooth and silky.
I have to admit when I pour it out you only need a small amount as it does lather up really well, the thickness of the body wash is just right i find as it isnt to runny or to thick.
The smell of it is of a somewhat delicate fragrance which is really pleasant.
whilst using this I did notice how soft and smooth it made my skin feel, it was like you could really feel it moisturising my skin. I even tried it on dry parts of skin I seem to have and it really did make it feel alot smoother.
In my opinion I would say this is correct to say it is a triple moisuriser as it does everything it says. Like it states on the bottle, dont just use this occasionally because everyday is everything. It really is a everyday product to use to help keep your skin moisturised and feeling smoother.
After using this product it was fair to say I didnt feel the need to moisturise after as it left my skin so soft and smelling beautifull.
I think this is an important product for every woman to own as part of their beauty reigme.
So I would reccomend this product to a friend as it lives true to its word and does what it says on the tin.
The review that I am writing today has to be for one of the most nourishing shower creams that I have tried. It is the Dove triple moisturising body wash which contains ¼ moisturising cream so I was expecting my skin to feel soft but the results it gives surpasses all of my expectations.
As with all Dove shower gels this product comes in a plastic, tear-drop shape bottle. The lid is on the top of the bottle which I am not usually a fan of but when the body wash is this good I can make an exception.
The lid pops open to reveal a small hole which allows the body wash to squeeze out of sparingly, this way you can get just the right amount.
The tear-drop shape bottle allows you to grip the bottle easily whilst in the shower.
The bottle itself is pearly white so you cannot see inside but you can easily tell when you are running out as the bottle gets thinner. I think if the bottle was see-through it would take it away from the Dove brand and I find that when I know I am washing with Dove I always feel better and like I am having a more luxurious shower.
As you squeeze out the product you will instantly notice its moisturising qualities. It is of a very thick consistency. If I had seen the body wash without knowing what it was I would think it was a moisturiser or a body lotion due to the thickness of it. It is also very white in colour.
As you begin to use the shower gel it builds up a luxurious lather with the Dove aroma which fills the shower. If you do not know what Dove smells like it is a very fresh smell which makes you feel exceptionally gorgeous and clean.
The bubbles that are released form the lather sink into your skin instantly making your skin feel more nourished. Once the lather has been washed away you will notice how soft your skin feels, this is because the Dove body wash gently cleanses while the moisturising cream in the body was smoothes and softens the skin and helps the skin to maintain its natural moisture and softness.
As the smell of this product is quite subtle you will find that the scent on your skin does not last particularly long. After a couple of hours I have found that the smell has faded away.
For a 200ml bottle of this you can expect to pay around £2 but it is always on offer so look out for that.
This is a gorgeous product that makes your skin feel completely rejuvenated. I cannot recommend it enough. 10 out of 10.
For some weird reason I've always thought that Dove was an expensive range of products for dry skin. I realised that I was wrong (at least if it comes to the price) when I found Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash on offer for £1.
The appearance, scent and texture
This shower cream (this is how I used it) is supplied in a white plastic 250 ml bottle with a flip on/off lid at the top. The labelling is in blue letters and it has a picture of cream on the front. The design is plain yet very nice. This body wash has a creamy white colour and as you open the bottle, you can smell its amazing scent. It is mild and delicate but extremely pleasant. I could just sniff it for hours!
The texture is very silky and creamy - you can feel it immediately. I think that the texture is simply perfect - it isn't overly runny but it isn't thick either so even if you don't have a shower puff or sponge, it is easy to use.
How it works?
I usually use it on a shower puff so a little goes a long way and it lathers up really quickly producing enormous amount of foam. It cleanses well and it is a pleasure to use. After I finish showering, my skin is nice and smooth, and it smells gorgeous! It rinses off easily and it leaves a feeling of moisturised skin (which is not always the case with shower gels).
It is very mild to the skin so I'm sure it will work perfectly well on sensitive skin.
The price and availability
As I have mentioned above, I personally bought it for a pound. However, the normal price oscillates around £2. It can be bought in Boots, Superdrug, pharmacies and supermarkets (such as Tesco or Asda).
The summary
Overall, I think this is a very decent, reasonably priced body wash and it will surely appear on my bathroom shelf more often. It also seems to be unisex so not only ladies can enjoy it.
Thank you for reading my review.
It may also be posted elsewhere.
Recently in my local Tesco Dove triple moisturising body wash, the 250ml size was on a buy one get one half price offer, with the original price of one pound ninety nine pence. I normally buy different shower gels and body washes when they are on offer, to make the bill a bit cheaper, and I was really sold to this one as it had moisturising in the title, and I suffer from dry skin.
The product itself comes in a white plastic container with a small flip on and off lip on the top which covers the hole which the wash comes out of with a small squeeze. Its very easy to dispense the amount you want without wasting any, which is perfect, as with some body washes, I find it hard to get any out then give it a big squeeze and end up letting far too much out which just then goes to waste! The only downside with this packaging is that it is hard to get the dregs out at the bottom when you come to the end of it's life. Normally with shower cremes / gels / washes I just turn the product on its head and wait for gravity to do it's work. The problem is, with the shape of this one's top, you cannot really do that without some strategic balancing!
The cream itself is a white / cream coloured thick liquid which feels silky and smooth as soon as you put it onto your hand. It looks too thick to lather up but as soon as you put it on your skin and it hits the water it is easy to lather up, which means you can spread it around your body nicely without using it all up in one wash!
It feels so lovely on the skin, not harsh and abrasive like some washes are. The scent is practically non existant, and although I love washes with smells in sometimes it is nice not too have one and just smell, well natural and neutral!!
It is easy to wash off, and leaves my skin very smooth, very moisturised and very soft. I didn't think my skin would feel clean, I thought it was one of the other- moist of clean, but even though my skin doesnt feel like the top layer has been taken off and its been scrubbed raw (!!) I still feel clean.
5* wash- has the best of every world!
When it comes to Dove products they hold a very warm and solid place in my heart. I believe the brand that is Dove offers excellent quality, superior products and I am rather a fan of them which means that although I do use other brands of things I do eventually always return to Dove in the end!
This Triple Moisturising Body Wash is something that I purchase from time to time, particularly when my skin goes dry. I spotted it on offer recently in Asda costing a mere pound a bottle and I actually snapped three bottles up and bunged them in a cupboard for future use!
The Packaging:
250ml white plastic bottle that has a matching flip-top lid to the top of it with a section of blue plastic. On the front of the bottle I am told that it is Dove triple Moisturising Beauty Care Body Wash and there is a little gold emblem of a dove on there and I am told that it contains 1/4 moisturising cream and there is a light blue 'pool' of cream shown. On the back of the bottle other information listed includes being told a bit about the product, ingredients and the size is stated (as I've listed already) and contact details for Unilver are stated (the manufacturer of the product). This is a nice simple bottle in its appearance and informative enough and I personally like its simplicity and I'm sure men wouldn't feel embarrassed at owning a bottle of this either as it is rather unisex in its appearance.
A Bit About The Product According To The Information Given On The Back Of The Bottle:
The key to beautiful skin is moisture. That's why Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash is is made to indulge your skin, not just your senses. How? In three ways: First, it gently cleanses whilst the rich Dove 1/4 moisturising cream soothes and softens the skin, then it keeps that moisture locked in to the skin, and finally it helps the skin maintain its natural moisture and softness. P.S Don't use 'occasionally'. In skincare, every day is everything.
Using It:
All you need of this smooth cream is a small blob for a really lathery and soft wash all over. It has a sweet but luxurious and rather unisex sort of soapy fragrance to it and really does cleanse the body whilst making it feel silky smooth at the same time.
It rinses off with real ease leaving skin feeling delicately hydrated without feeling like any residue is left behind it, the fragrance smells on the skin for a good few hours after using it and all in all I love this body wash. Its suitable for both use in the bath and shower and really does leave my skin feeling in tip top shape. I can shave my bits and bobs with this too and all round this is always a product I shall purchase time and time again in the future! It's quite simply lovely stuff!
Available in all good supermarkets and chemists etc and if not on offer will cost close to about £2.00 for a bottle the size I am reviewing!
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
My boyfriend has very dry sensitive skin, that can flare up with certain products. So, whilst I'm happy to use any old combination of lotions and potions when having a bath, he tends to stick to products he knows aren't going to cause irritation - and one of those favourites that we always have in our bathroom is Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash.
Like me, you might be wondering how something can be triple moisturising. I initially assumed that this just meant this was three times as good as their other body washes - until I read the packaging, which make the comment that moisturisation needs to go deeper than just the surface of your skin. Apparently this product works three ways - deep absorption, replenishing moisture from within, and helping the skin renew itself to keep moisture locked in. All very good claims indeed, but does it work ?
The creamy white liquid is easy to squeeze out of the bottle, and is a nice thickness - not too thick to be easily usable, but not so runny that it goes everywhere . It has a light scent - nothing specific that I can place my finger on, but a lovely clean smell. This lathers up nicely, and rinses off just as well, leaving nothing behind but a delicate clean scent that quickly fades .
My boyfriend uses this on an almost daily basis, and his skin is greatly improved since using it, with it being much softer and less dry . This has never caused him any flare ups, and although he is always going to have patches of excema, this body wash does seem to be gentle enough for him to use, and to in fact be improving his skin .
I don't use this as often - I like to mix and match in the bathroom depending on my mood , but I do notice my skin is soft and healthy looking after using this, and remains so for a couple of days .
At £2.00 for a 200ml bottle, this is good value as a little goes a long way, and it lives up to it's claim to moisturise the skin . 5 stars .
I absolutely love Dove products as they are so good value for money and also they work and I love this one as it is works perfectly to moisturise my skin and keep it nice and soft, especially now I am getting older and my skin is getting much thinner and also more drier.
It comes in a white plastic bottle with a flip back lid, and inside it is a very thick, rich white cream and a very good quality too, I bought it on special offer recently for only £1.50 for a 400ml bottle and the usual price was over £3 and I had to buy it while at that very low price and save some money for a quality product.
It cleans the skin and moisturises at the same time to leave it lathers very well and also rinses off perfectly and the results are just amazing in my opinion, the smell of it has a very nice fragrance and the texture is beautifully soft and smooth and when massaged into the skin it just glides across the skin with no effort need at all, and I can always feel it working the second it hits my skin and when I dry the skin, I can feel the softness immediately.
It hydrates the skin too and locks in the moisture to keep it nice and soft for a long time and used with a body lotion or cream the results speak for themselves in my opinion.
I think Dove do an amazing job of giving all of their products very good results and they are all good quality as well as working in my opinion, and this contains ¼ moisturising cream to give the results and I think the bottle looks nice too in the bathroom and although some other products look attractive, they do not always give good results but with this one it does.
The smell on the skin does last a long time even without using a body lotion as sometimes I have not always had the time to use a body lotion and my skin still has a nice smell to it that has lasted quite some time.
It is very easy to rinse off too, which can save some time for some people like myself and it is very gentle on the skin and does not irritate it at all, it is quite the opposite, it blends perfectly into the skin and has an amazing texture and I highly recommend it for anyone to try and especially to look out for the special offers lately and I bought this one from Boots on offer.
Some body washes look quite dirty white but with this one it is extremely a fresh bright white as some others look kind of like a off grey and are supposed to be white but with this one it is not the case.
I give this one 5 stars for quality and very good value for money.
Thank you for reading my review.
As may be seen from my other body wash reviews, I like trying lots of different varieties from pretty much any brand. One I have tried quite a few times and will continue to do so is Dove. Superdrug has body wash offers on rotation so even if this product isn't on offer when you go in, it will be at some point soon enough.
Currently, the 250ml bottles costing £1.99 are on an offer of 2 for £2, effective a buy one get one free offer, while the bigger 400ml ones, which are normally the better value, are 2 for £4. So in this case, the smaller ones are a better bargain.
These bottles look quite smart and would fit with most bathrooms being blue and white. The bottle is white all over with a blue tipped cap and the blue Dove logo and a picture of some cream being poured on the front. Simple and effective. I really love the smell of this, it smells like a creamy moisturiser, the sort of thing I would like my whole bathroom to smell off, it's very inviting.
When you pour it out, you can see that their claim of 1/4 moisturising cream is probably accurate because it comes out so thick that it looks like a runny moisturiser rather than a body wash. You can feel how thick it is when you rub it on your skin too and your skin feels really smooth and silky arfterwards and of course it moisturises and lathers well so you don't use it up really quickly like Imperial Leather say.
I really like this and will keep it on my favourites list and will try others in their range.
I am a little bit fickle when it comes to the brand and variety of shower gel/wash I buy. We seem to get through so much of the stuff that instead of remaining faithful to any particular brand, I just buy whatever is on the best special offer at the time of my shopping. I have to confess however that if pennies weren't a deciding fator, I would probably go for Original Source every time, as I love their friuty aromas and have found that they provide a really invigourating shower experience.
My husband is also a fan of the zesty shower gels and has said that they help him wake up in the morning as he is getting ready for work all tired and bleary eyed.
This week I was in need of a new bottle and whilst doing my online Tesco shopping, I came across this Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash being on special offer. It was reduced down to £1 from £2 for a 250ml bottle which was a great saving for a premium branded product so I decided to give it a go.
I had heard great things about the Dove brand, being incredibly gentle and moisterising but hadn't got round to trying any of the products, so this gave me a good opportunity to give it a go. As I am pregnant at the moment, any product that gives my strained skin an extra moisture boost is very welcome and I thing that this really influenced my decision.
Next time I showered I used the Dove wash and as soon as I squeezed some out of the bottle the thing that struck me was that this was more of a creamy lotion than a shower gel. It was incredible creamy and as I used my shower puff to apply it, it built up a very luxiourious lather. The smell was quite subtle and it reminded me a little of a floral baby lotion, it was certainly more feminine than the zesty shower gels I was used too.
I did find it incredibly gentle on my skin and I also found it far more moisterising than other products I have used in the past. After showering and drying off, my skin was left feeling really soft and smooth and this continued throughout the day. For this reason, I really enjoyed using this product, my only negative is that the actual showering experience isn't quite as enjoyable.
I spoke to my husband about his feelings, and as I predicted, he wasn't all that impressed. He found it too feminine and floral and asked that I reverted back to something more zesty on our next shop.
Dove shower gel/body wash
I love the dove brand and most of the dove products, and this wash is not exception! Firstly I like the brand in my opinion is a a good, very high quality brand. I have been using dove products for years - especially this product.
I like the packaging of the products, they seem very clean and clinical and simple. I also really really love the smell of the products, I can't describe the smell but it is like squeaky clean and nice. Also this is the only product that I have tried that actually rehydrates and intensely moisturises my skin!
Other products that I have tried seem to strip away my skins natural oils and make it quite dry, but this one from dove doesn't! It has a really nice silky, creamy texture and it smoothes, soothes and intensely hydrates my skin, which can be quite dry a lot of the time. I also have skin that is a bit sensitive to certain products but this wash didn't irritate my skin at all!
But one factor I don't really like is that to my knowledge there are no/little natural ingredients in it (there is a list of the ingredients for the product on the dove uk webiste). Also this body wash is quite expensive, I usually see this product at between £1.99 to £2.99 or more, which for a body wash is quite expensive. You can also buy the smaller travel sizes which are cheaper. These products are usually stocked in most of the larger supermarkets and also in boots.
*Quite expensive for a body wash
*Nice clean simple packaging
*No/little natural ingredients
*Runs out very quickly
*Comes in larger and travel mini sizes
*Widely available in larger supermarkets
*Intensely hydrates, moisturises and soothes my skin
*Doesn't strip away the skins natural oils
Thank you for reading my review
What a fantasic and luxurious treat this is to have in your shower. I absolutely love it. I'm not one usually to stick to brands when it comes to shower gels and bubble baths, but the Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash is my favorite body wash of all time.
The body wash comes in a lovely attractivly designed, slim white bottle with the usual 'Dove' logo on the front. Although the bottle is very nice looking I do find that I have a habit of sending it flying when I'm in the shower because it's thin design means that it is very easy to knock over. Perhaps I should just be a little more careful and space aware.
The wash itself is creamy coloured and smells absolutely gorgeous. You need the tiniest amount to foam up into a rich and fabulous lather which is pure luxury. I have one of those net body wash/scrub things, the name escapes me at the moment. I love to use this in conjunction with the body wash to give myself a good scrub in the shower. The combination of the foamy body wash and a good vigorous scrub is just wonderful.
The body wash rinses off easily and when you depart the shower and dry off you find that your skin has been left silken smooth and soft and moisturised. This body wash really does do what it says on the bottle!
Price wise, I think the body wash is very reasonable at £2.44 a time, and you can find it on offer quite often all over the place for £1.00 a time, so be sure to stock up whilst it is super cheap!
Overall I rate the Dove Triple Moisturising Body Wash as a 9/10 because it is a fantasticly luxurious shower-time treat which leaves your body silky soft and completely moisturised. I mark it down slightly because the base of the bottle could do with being a little wider so my butter fingers don't send it flying half way across the bathroom all the time.
My nan uses the Dove products a lot and as it was in the shower when I got in, I decided to give it a try.
We had a 400ml bottle of the triple moisturising body wash which cost £4.75 in Sainsburys. The bottle is white with a blue bit on the top to help you see the difference between that bottle and the other ones in the range. The writing is blue and gold. The label on the bottle says that the product works in three ways. It gently cleanses and as it is made of 1/4 moisturising cream it softens and smoothes the skin. It then locks the moisture into the skin and helps the skin maintain its natural moisture and softness.
You are recommended to use the product everyday but I only used it once. I wasn't overly keen on the smell, it did just smell like moisturiser. It was a good consistancy and so easy to pour onto my body puff. The body wash itself is white in colour and took a while to lather up. As it didn't lather quickly, I had lines of product left on my skin from where I was using the body puff so it looked like I was washing in moisturiser. The body wash rinses off easily though.
My skin felt soft when I got out of the shower but I wouldn't say it was any softer than it has been with other products. You may notice a difference if you use the body wash every day though. For me, the body wash was ok but nothing special.

Haverhill and Methuen have hired an energy manager to help both cities save money on electricity and move toward using alternate power sources such as solar.
Haverhill Mayor James Fiorentini said Orlando Pacheco will work two days in Methuen and three days in Haverhill, where he will also serve as the city's chief procurement officer. Pacheco's $85,000 annual salary is being split three ways — Haverhill is paying $21,000, Methuen is paying $14,000 and the state is picking up $50,000 through an energy grant.
The energy partnership is the second such venture between Haverhill and Methuen. The neighboring communities also recently received a state grant to hire and share a program director, Pedro Soto, to oversee efforts to combat abandoned and neglected buildings in both cities.
David Van Dam, Fiorentini's aide, said the state appears to look favorably on communities that collaborate to apply for competitive grants.
Fiorentini said Pacheco will oversee several energy initiates, including making public buildings and schools more energy efficient, installing a solar farm at the former city landfill on Old Groveland Road that is in the process of being capped, and evaluating whether the city could save money by buying its street lights from National Grid to reduce the cost of electricity.
"We can and should be doing a lot more with energy efficiency and solar power," Fiorentini said, noting the city already has a small solar farm on Hilldale Avenue and that there are solar panels on the roof of the Citizens Center. "I want us to be known as the solar city."
Pacheco was previously town administrator in Lancaster for 10 years. He was a mayoral aide in Amesbury before that.
Haverhill also hired Pacheco to replace city purchasing chief Robert DeFusco, who retired earlier this month. In Haverhill, Pacheco will split his time between purchasing and energy, the mayor said.

THIS IS NOT INSULTING REAGAN, IT'S JUST A DAMN JOKE, AND A STUPID ONE AT THAT. IF YOU THINK IT IS OFFENSIVE, AS ONE REVIEWER SAID, YOU CAN GO TO DISNEY.COM FOR JOLLY HAPPY STUFF. I AM NOT GOING TO BURN IN HELL BECAUSE HELL DOESN'T EXIST(I ACTUALLY CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION BY MYSELF, UNLIKE ABOUT 95% OF YOU FUCKING RETARDS. NOW WHY DONT YOU GO TO CHURCH AND GIVE MORE MONEY TO "GOD" LIKE THEY SAY YOU ARE DOING). IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THAT TELLING ME IM A BAD PERSON BECAUSE OF THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, THEN YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. AND THE PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT HOW GREAT REAGAN WAS, WELL, MOST OF THEM WERENT EVEN ALIVE WHEN REAGAN WAS IN OFFICE, SO THEY CAN ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP, STOP LISTENING TO WHAT THEIR PARENTS TELL THEM, AND TRY TO MAKE UP THEIR OWN FUCKING OPINIONS, GOD DAMN BRAINWASHED FUCKS! that being said, enjoy the movie
Join the Star Syndicate: http://s7.invisionfree.c
god i was a fucking prick when i wrote that comment. movie is still a classic in my eyes, though
Turd of the Week? Maybe not that bad
It's certainly no masterpiece... But I give them credit for one thing.. finding a wacked out song to play... I think the reason this got the poor votes is most people were offended by the use of Former President Reagan's Image (probably by someone who doesn't even remember him)...
My rating is a 2 overall out of 10 because there wasn't really much animation talent necessary to pull it off...the joke was minorly amusing but not worth the wait... and in the end, the only redeeming factor was the music.. and even THAT wasn't that great...
I've seen far worse and far more deserving of the title of "turd of the week"... but I guess this was a relatively good week for animation :P
Horrible taste dude
Come on man seriously thats not funny this movie needs to blammed
"if you haven't heard, ronald reagan died earlier today. here is my tribute to him, and what a great man he was
wow, turd of the week, damn i'm smooth"
.. to say you are trying to tribute to him, saying that last part didnt seem like you were bothered at all..
three letters....WTF?!?!?!?! seriously though, that sucked so bad.....I forgot the insult, but it still sucked. Well, better luck next time, eh? (yes, I'm canadian)
Please stop
This is about the 6 time that you have made a flash that is based around chick techno! Please stop, it's not funny anymore.

CATEGORIES Classics, Foreign Language, Distribution, Newsstand, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalIn case you need to start your personal preparations now, May 8 is Roberto Rossellini's birthday (or it would be, had he not died almost 30 years ago). What's that? You're not having a party? Yeah, me either. We're all philistines. It's alright, though, because Italy appears to be throwing a hell of a blowout - it is, after all, the 100th anniversary of his birth. (And if you only know the man's name because he's Isabella's dad, do yourself a favor and go rent Open City.)
According to Variety, in recognition of the centennial, Cinecitta is going to be restoring and issuing new prints of ten of his films. Using master prints (to which they just recently managed to acquire the rights), the studio will be reissuing such masterpieces as Open City, Germany: Year Zero, Stromboli, and Journey to Italy. Though Variety's report only mentions home video and television distribution, one assumes that the prints will be offered to theaters, as well - maybe it's not totally unreasonable to dream that, next year, a Rossellini retrospective will tour the US, completely with gorgeous new prints.

The California Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday on whether local governments can ban retail pot dispensaries within their borders. About 200 cities and counties already have, according to the pro-dispensary group Americans for Safe Access, but this will be the first time the state high court weighs in on the question even though medical marijuana has been legal in California for more than 16 years.
At stake is the expansion potential or further contraction of an industry that contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the state economy but operates without clear statewide guidelines and in conflict with federal drug laws. Many of the local bans were enacted after the number of retail medical marijuana outlets exploded in Southern California in response to the DOJ stating in 2009 that prosecuting pot sales would be a low priority under the Obama administration.
"These places are popping up everywhere, and the typical city that had one or two, two became four and four became 16 or 20," said Jeffrey Dunn, an Orange County lawyer who will be arguing in favor of the local bans on Tuesday. "What has happened as a practical matter is this state law which authorizes the medical use of marijuana, and federal law that prohibits it, has forced cities and counties to be the ones to regulate this like any other entity that crops up in our business districts."
Medical marijuana advocates maintain that the state's medical marijuana laws, the nation's oldest, allow local governments to set limits on dispensaries, but not to outlaw them.
