Welcome to September's Carnival of Breastfeeding! This month the theme is "Breastfeeding and Work." Be sure to check out the posts from our other Carnival participants linked at the end of this one.I read content this seminal. http://achetercialisenfranceonlineonline.name/acheter-cialis-en-france/ Swanson & sons introduced the issue blog to the us flow.
I have been nursing my children at work for the past four years, from the time they wake up until it's time for dinner. My first daughter was nursed at my work from the time she was 12 months to 3 years, and my second daughter has been nursed at my work since she was 2 months old. Okay, okay, I work at home, and I don't have to worry about any co-workers, but I do have clients who are here from 8:00 to 5:00 five days a week. Yes, they range in age from 12 months to 6 years, but I like to think that exposure to breastfeeding at an early age is having a healthy impact on their upbringing.
I have a "Breastfeeding Friendly. Anytime. Anywhere." sticker at my front door to show my daycare parents that I am pro-breastfeeding. I also have it in my policies that if they want to come by during the day to breastfeed their child they are welcome to do so. I will also happily give their child their expressed breast milk, although no one has requested this yet. I want them to not only feel comfortable nursing their child in my home but also to realize that I nurse my child. In case they don't see me nurse, I make a point to mention that I am still nursing. Usually it comes up when I talk to them about nap times, since I still nurse my toddler to sleep. I want them to know that their child gets put down first, in fact I usually make other people's children's naps a priority over my own because I know I can nurse my daughter to sleep in a chair if I need to and then snuggle her on my lap for an hour or so while the other kids play. Usually it works out that everyone naps around the same time and I can leave my daughter in her bed after she's fallen asleep.
What I like most about being able to nurse at my job other than the obvious being able to nurse on demand regardless of the fact I am doing paid work, is normalizing breastfeeding around children who otherwise might not be exposed to it, and some adults too!
It is rare for a child to ask about it though. I think I have only been asked one question about breastfeeding, and it was by a child who had already been coming to my house several times a week for a year or so. It was almost as though he just suddenly noticed that something strange was going on, even though he'd been around it dozens of times before.
"What are you doing?" he asked one day.
"I'm breastfeeding."
"Oh," he said, and went back to playing.
When you see something all the time, it's normal. When the person doing the breastfeeding acts and talks about it as though it is normal, it makes it so. Young children are sponges for learning, and at my house they learn that it is normal for a baby or toddler to breastfeed.
Sometimes though, I think it's hard on some children who might have just weaned or who just wish their mommy was there to nurse them. I remember a few years back how I would scoop up my one year old daughter to breastfeed her and this one little boy would look up at us with such longing I wouldn't have been surprised if he made a play for my boob. He never did though. Sometimes if they are looking especially sad I will pick them up and snuggle them next to me. It usually helps.
I tend to attract like-minded parents. Sometimes when they come to pick up their little one at the end of the day we sit down together to chat and nurse. As soon as one child sees the other nursing and both moms are present, game over! And if a parent isn't nursing or didn't nurse, they have always been respectful of my choice to do so and have never questioned it happening around their kids.
Sometimes being constantly lept on and listening to a toddler's demand to nurse when I am actually trying to do my job can drive me a bit batty. When my daughter sees me reading a book it's her signal to breastfeed. Actually, anytime I sit down she thinks that means she can breastfeed, so there have been a few instances of very interesting circle times. ("When you're happy and you know it [unlatch and] shout hooray!") It is harder to draw nursing boundaries for a child who has always had her mommy available and continues to do so. Nothing is ever perfect, but it certainly makes my life easier in many ways to have a job that affords me the luxury to breastfeed my child. Anytime Anywhere.

I was just reading yesterday on the possibility of moving from CDs to full digital releases. And I will hate to see that happen as a future developer. One, it can make pirating possible, though Xbox Live has good security measures. And two, I enjoy going into the store and having a physical box with my game inside. For other people who don't know what to get, the salespeople are there to help recommend and inform people of what games are hot or appropriate for them.

HCG Diets, Frauds, Placebos…..By
HCG Diets, Frauds, Placebos, Unproven or Lucrative Niches for Doctors?
Everyone who is trying to loss weight should read the two great articles written by Ken Alltucker, The Arizona Republic – Jan. 26, 2011, click links below.
Before Déjà Vu Med Spa in Goodyear, AZ, launched their Physician Managed Weight Loss Program in November of 2008, their Medical Director, Co-Owner, Brian Dursteler, M.D., FACP, did extensive research into HCG. Going back through research into the 1970s, he could not find any evidence that HCG contributed to weight loss. HCG is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Have you ever known a pregnant woman who lost weight?
The HCG Diet does have two factors that can result in weight loss. The first is the placebo effect. It has been proven that your belief can produce some results. The second factor is the 500 calorie a day diet. At the 500 calorie level, your body can go into starvation mode in which your systems are trying to maintain vital functions at the expense of fat, muscle and bone. You probably didn't really want to lose muscle and bone.
For those who lost weight with the HCG + 500 calorie diet and have successfully maintained your loss, congratulations. Somewhere through the starvation process you learned the key to weight loss is what you eat and how much you eat. You then made the lifestyle changes necessary to support the new more active, slimmer, healthier you.
If you could have done it all by yourself, why did you spend the $1000 and go through the suffering? Maybe, you needed the encouragement and support to be successful. That's where Déjà Vu Med Spa can help.
At Déjà Vu Med Spa, our Physician Managed Weight Loss Program has served over 1,000 clients with losses of 10 to 20 lbs / mo. We teach you, coach you and track your health and success. Our programs are designed to meet your specific needs and start at just $70 / mo including any prescribed medication.
Consultations are FREE. Call us at 623-242-9910 on Wednesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM to schedule your consultation.

ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WMBF) – The Robeson County Sheriff's Office has arrested a man Friday in connection to a robbery and shooting that left a 29-year-old Shannon man dead.
Major Howard Branch, spokesman for the Robeson County Sheriff's Office, said Allen McMillian was found dead at the corner of Rennert and Russell roads just before 4 a.m. Wednesday. Deputies said McMillian and a least three others were in a barn behind a convenience store when he was approached by two armed people.
The suspects allegedly got out of a silver vehicle and were said to be trying to rob McMillian. When he refused to give them money and attempted to flee, he was shot and subsequently killed, according to Branch.
Upon further investigation, including information obtained from witnesses, deputies were led to Walter Everett Lambert, 35, of Lumberton, who Branch said had a criminal history.
Lambert was then arrested at his home along Hammonds Road Friday evening and charged with first degree murder. He is currently being held at the Robeson County Detention Center without bond.

Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi
The World > Europe > Italy > Tuscany
The Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi (also known as San Clement) is a Catholic church in Siena, central Italy.
The church is built on the site of the former San Clement, which was acquired by the Servite Order in 1234 and annexed to a new convent. The new church was consecrated only in 1533. The 15th century-style façade, however, was never finished, and the 13th century bell tower, originally in Romanesque style, was deeply modified in the following centuries (the last time in 1926).

The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.

How Remedies Work
When a homeopathic remedy is repeatedly diluted and succussed (agitated), the medicinal power of the substance used to make the medicine is activated and strengthened. This process is called potentizing or dynamizing.
As the solution is diluted, fewer and fewer of the original molecules of the substance remain.
Remedies are Energetic
Just as we don't know the mechanism of action of many pharmaceutical drugs, we still can only hypothesize about the way homeopathic medicines work. It is thought that the energetic frequency of the substance used to make the medicine is stored in the water, even when no physical molecules of the substance exist and that this energy of the remedy affects the electrodynamic field of the body. One theory is that when there is resonance between the remedy and the diseased state, the remedy's energy balances an energetic disturbance that has disrupted the body's healing system.

How do I get a video embedded in an image file to revert to the when done playing?
I'm using the site freevideocoding.com to help me play a video when an image is clicked on a website. The code it generates goes something like this:

It works fine, a video starts playing when you click the image, but then when the video finishes it just stops. What I want it to do is go back to the original source image when the video finishes playing. Is there a way to do that? I've tried playing around with the onfinish command but haven't had any luck. Can anyone help out? Thanks

Press Release
As House O.K.'s Pay Hike, Citizen Group Slams Senate's Move to Collect Taxpayer Salaries for Campaigning
For Immediate Release June 29, 2005
(Alexandria, VA) -- Hot on the heels of news that a Senate Committee moved to repeal a statute requiring Congress Members to forfeit pay for unexcused absences like campaign appearances, the 350,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) today urged Congressional leaders to use "any and all means" to keep the law in place and enforce it.
"Just yesterday the House of Representatives voted to grease the skids for a seventh-straight annual pay hike; the Senate shouldn't be allowed to add insult to this injury by forcing taxpayers to subsidize absentee lawmakers," NTU President John Berthoud said. "Although the ?No Work, No Pay' statute has been sporadically enforced in Congress, that's no reason to do away with the law entirely."
Last week a Senate Committee approved appropriations legislation that would repeal Title 2, Section 39 of the U.S. Code, which states that Congressional administrators "shall deduct from the monthly payments (or other periodic payments authorized by law) of each Member or Delegate the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate or House, respectively, unless such Member or Delegate assigns as the reason for such absence the sickness of himself or of some member of his family." NTU has long sought enforcement of this law, but Congress has been reluctant to do so.
"Some might dismiss Section 39 as a technical provision that has outlived its usefulness, but we urge you to instead consider this rule on the basis of its own merit, regardless of whatever past enforcement history it may have," Berthoud wrote in a letter sent today to House and Senate Leaders as well as the Chairs and Ranking Minority Members of the Appropriations Committees. "Indeed, rather than citing lack of enforcement as a reason for repealing the No Work, No Pay law, Members of Congress should take this opportunity to put real teeth into Section 39."
Berthoud explained that compliance with Section 39 "would not require a Herculean effort on the part of Congress," and could be accomplished through the regular payroll certification process to which Member offices are currently subject.
An exhaustive NTU study from January 2005 found that 25 lawmakers had 10 or more days of unexcused absences in the 108th Congress, amounting to more than $500,000 in illegal salary payments. Seventeen of those 25 Senators and Representatives were campaigning for higher office. For fiscal and political accountability reasons, NTU has launched a grassroots effort -- including e-mail alerts and talk radio -- to persuade the full Senate to restore the No Work, No Pay law and, if necessary, push for deletion of the repeal provision in the conference process.
"Raising Congressional salaries past $165,000 in a time of deficit spending is a debacle in its own right, but allowing lawmakers to grab this princely pay on the campaign trail is a downright disgrace," Berthoud concluded. "Instead of enacting laws that abuse taxpayers, Congress should be upholding and following laws that protect them."
NTU is a non-partisan citizen group founded in 1969 to work for smaller government and more accountability from elected officials. Note: The NTU letters to Congressional leaders, the report on the No Work, No Pay law, and other materials on Congressional perks are available at www.ntu.org.
Note: In late 2005, Congress enacted the "conference" version of H.R. 2985, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill, which repealed Title 2, Section 39 for Members of the Senate only. As of January 2006, House Members were still subject to the 'No Work, No Pay' law.

If you work in downtown Atlanta you know (a) it's impossible to just walk out and hail a taxi and (b) there's no such thing as a sidewalk newsstand around here.
So the yellow cabs lining Peachtree Street were the first sign I'd wandered onto the location shoot for "Anchorman 2." Any doubt was quickly confirmed by the headlines on display at the Fairlie-Poplar news kiosk: "Bush Upsets Reagan in Mich." and "Study Says U.S. Dumped Wastes into Love Canal." Sandwich boards touted 69-cent pizza slices and I spotted a New York Post delivery truck. Auburn Avenue was rechristened E. 26th Street.
But what really transformed the heart of Atlanta into seventies New York? Big piles of trash, overflowing metal cans and spilling onto the sidewalk.
"Now that's something you don't see every day in downtown Atlanta," remarked a man watching me snap a photo. "Just look at that garbage."

If your church is typical, only 40% of the people in your church are registered voters. In a typical election, only half of them will vote. The church has the capacity to create a culture that recognizes truth and honors the sanctity and significance of the family as God designed it. At this moment, we are choosing not to do so.
This voter registration tool kit is one part of the solution. We hope you will use these tools to encourage others in your church to become responsible, informed stewardship of the authority that God has given them as citizens of the United States. This kit includes instructions on how to conduct a voter registration drive in your church, a church bullet insert, as well as legal guidelines to reassure church leadership that there is no risk to a churches 501(c)(3) status for conducting voter registration efforts in churches. If you have any questions about this information, please let us know. It is our goal to help you become more effective agents of cultural change. Thank you for doing your part

In a surprise move, Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas has gone 4-4-2 for the North London Derby as he starts with both Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe, with Clint Dempsey dropped after some recent disappointing form. Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon start out wide in what could be a hugely attacking move for the away side.
Arsenal, meanwhile, start with a 4-3-3 with Olivier Giroud flanked by Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott. Thomas Vermaelen continues at left-back, while Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are on the bench. The Gunners also welcome back Wojciech Szczesny in goal.

Patty Shinbo Kajita of College Place has been reading recent Etcetera column items about her late cousin, Boy Scout hero Bennie Shinbo, with great interest.
But I fear an eyebrow lifted when she scanned the details about her aunt and uncle, Bennie's parents.
Information used from newspaper articles at the time of Bennie's death in 1933 weren't clear about his parents' names, so this item serves as a clarification.
Adam Gallinat, a Life Scout and historian with Boy Scout Troop 305 who collected the details of Bennie's bravery for the troop's scrapbook, plans to update his information, too.
Patty said Takisaku and Yuso Shinbo were brothers and partners of the Curio Shop on First Avenue, where Aloha Sushi is now located. They were also partners in the Imperial Café, which was on Main Street and now serves as the parking for Bank of America.
Bennie and sister Maxine's parents were Takisaku and Toki Shinbo and Patty's parents were Yuso and Tomiko Shinbo.
Residents of Melrose Oxford House, 574 Ash St., Walla Walla, will host a Mexican fiesta on Saturday Jan. 23. They're raising funds to help support their community, said member Travis Wilford.
They want to let other recovering alcoholics and drug addicts know that there is affordable, supportive housing, a new way of life and to be productive members of society.
Melrose House provides clean and sober living in a nice neighborhood, Travis said.
Residents hope to see many join them for excellent cuisine, featuring Mexican soup, fajitas, tamales, tacos and a vegetarian menu from noon-5 p.m. Donations will be accepted. For more details, contact Travis at 509-200-9318 or at the house, 509-876-2921.
Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., honored Peter and Sarah Wostenberg, who are among students who have distinguished themselves academically during the semester that ended Dec. 15.
The Walla Wallans are included on the dean's list.
On Jan. 15, the Walla Walla High School Social Studies Department worked with students during class to observe Temperance and Good Citizenship Day and reflect upon Martin Luther King Jr.'s life, work and impact on others, according to the Jan 15 Walla Walla Public Schools Week in Review online newsletter.
Michelle Higgins, Wa-Hi Social Studies Department chairwoman, said it's a great opportunity to connect with students and help them to understand King's importance and to further develop good citizens.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
The controversial 10 Commandments monument in the Alabama Supreme Court building is under 'guard' Tuesday. We're not talking about trained guards with guns, but a couple of military veterans who took part in the 10 Commandments rally Monday at the Alabama Capitol.
The Supreme Court building manager gave them permission to 'guard' the monument provided they remain silent.
Chief Justice Roy Moore is said to be okay with the arrangement. The two 'guards' are members of the American Veterans in Domestic Defense. That's the group that organized Monday's rally. The group says volunteers will guard the monument over the next few days.
Federal Judge Myron Thompson has ruled the monument is unconstitutional and is expected to make another ruling on Thursday that the monument be taken out within 15 days. Justice Moore's attorneys have already appealed.

Early 2012 college football polls — setting Southern Cal up for a big fall?
Matt Hinton (aka Dr. Saturday) wrote an article on the outlook of the LSU Tigers for 2012. He remarked not only how much talent the Tigers will be losing to the NFL but also how young this 2011 team really was. Young enough to be named the Number One ranked team in the majority of early 2012 polls.
In his assessment of the polls recently published by Rivals, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, ESPN, USA Today, Athlon, CBS, SBN, The Mercury-News, and The Orlando Sentinel, Hinton averaged all of the rankings to come up with an early 2012 consensus poll. Here they are.
The Bloom of the Rose
In this age of instant gratification, the life of a head football coach, especially in the SEC, is filled with the stress of having to produce W's, regardless of the circumstances.
I have written about this topic, on this site, a few times.
That brings us to this Saturday Night. Read More…
Idiot Wind
'It' has already started. 'It' always starts with just a few comments, and then builds and builds until the noise is so loud that your either have to simply turn it off or you become pulled into it by some mysterious gravational force.
It's basically a decision based on personality.
Blueprint for a Fantasy
Contemplating the Vols' visit to Gainesville this Saturday made me think about the last visit to The Swamp. Many predicted the No.1 Gators would destroy Tennessee that day and give Lane Kiffin the spanking that he deserved.
Act Like A Champion
When Derek Dooley was hired to fill the gaps (plural) left in the wake of Lane Kiffin's disappearing act, there was one hole as deep and wide as an ocean – a cultural abyss.
The Kiff that Keeps On Giving
Cam Newton got a pass because the NCAA's investigation indicated that he was not aware of his father's pay-for-play scheme. And, because there was no link to Auburn either, they were allowed to win the SEC and national championships on the field. There was, of course, rampant speculation and all kinds of correlations leading to causation, implicating Cam and his father and Auburn and Mississippi State and the SEC and the NCAA and, well, why not throw in Mubarak?
It was only a matter of time before Lane Kiffin's name surfaced with all of this.
Pants on Fire
The NCAA slipped the invoice under Tennessee's door on Wednesday. Then, the university released it to the world for viewing, minus a few redactions. More on that later.
First, the timeline. Tennessee has 90 days to respond to NCAA's 26-page Notice of Allegations regarding the Vol football and men's basketball programs. The university will then make an appearance before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions in Indianapolis, anticipated to be June 10 and 11. A convenient time – long after the basketball season has finished and long enough before kickoff in September.
Like Brothers
Ben and Luther took their Monday lunch like most Mondays, at the Cracker Barrel where the Cosby Highway meets I-40, just a couple of miles south of downtown Newport. The topic of conversation was pretty much what it always is, on Monday or any other day – Tennessee Vols football.
This Win's For You
Kentucky vs. Tennessee | 27 Nov 2010 | Neyland Stadium
12:21 pm EST | SEC Network/ESPN3.com
Let's not forget what Saturday really is.
Kevin Cooper, Chad Cunningham, Savion Frazier, Gerald Jones, Daniel Lincoln, Ben Martin, Denarius Moore, Nick Reveiz, Jerrod Shaw, Luke Stocker, Victor Thomas, LaMarcus Thompson, Chris Walker, Gerald Williams, and Tyler Wolf.
These are the senior lettermen. These are The Group That Never Quit, so eloquently named by senior wide receiver Gerald Jones.
A Meditation on Losing in 2010
I was thinking, while watching an NFL pre-season game this week with family on vacation at the South Carolina coast, that I had never given much thought to the fact that college football has no pre-season games. The NFL has four; the NCAA has none.
Then I asked the question: how reliable are NFL pre-season games as an indicator of the future? The trite answer came first to my mind: not much, as pre-season games do not have the same sense of urgency as a regular-season game.
But the second answer that dawned on me seemed more relevant to the matters at hand: NFL pre-season games give us a helluva lot more indication of future performance than the sundry workouts and scrimmages held on a college campus in August.
And, that's all we've had in the days leading up to the 2010 season opener days – workouts and scrimmages. Nothing more. Read More…
Heute spreche ich ein weing Deutsch
I love the German language. Mark Twain expressed a different view, but I have always thought he was just having a little fun while secretely admiring the oddities of it all.
It's the compound words with no direct translation to English that I adore.
Today's example is Schadenfreude.
The literal translation is"damage joy". It's usual meaning is something like "taking pleasure in the misfortune of others."
Now I don't tend to engage in this type of practice for reasons that should be obvious to sane, compassionate people.
Some even say it is the work of the devil. Read More…
The Rich Fabric of Tennessee Volunteer Football
On Rocky Top: A Front-Row Seat To The End of an Era. By Clay Travis. ItBooks; 337 pages; $25.99.
It is Monday, September 1, 2008. In the visiting locker room of the Rose Bowl Stadium, Phillip Fulmer, the second most successful coach in Tennessee football history in terms of wins, on his birthday, has just led his warriors in reciting Robert Neyland's Seven Game Maxims. He then instills in his troops a feeling of timeless tradition before they take the field to open the 2008 season opener against UCLA: "Believe in your brothers all the way back to the twenties that have said these Maxims. Understand what you stand for by putting on that orange shirt and that T on your helmet."
In less than three months, Coach Fulmer will be fired, and that timeless tradition will be tested by the hiring of a complete outsider, Lane Kiffin, who as we know now, will also be gone a season later.
Clay Travis, a sports columnist, an attorney living in Nashville, the grandson of a Vol who played for General Neyland in the 1930s, and an unabashed Tennessee football junkie who did not attend UT but traces his Vol fandom to watching the 1986 Sugar Bowl victory over Miami as a six-year old, was given access to the locker room and the sideline to write a book about a season that became one of the most memorable in the annals of Volunteer football.

Why Derek Dooley Is A Good Hire for Tennessee
He certainly has credentials. He's been a positions coach—wide receivers, running backs, tight ends. He's been a special teams coordinator. He's been a recruiting coordinator. He's done most of this under Nick Saban, both in the SEC and in the NFL. He's been a head coach. And, he's been an athletic director. And, he has the lineage, being the son of a coaching legend.
But even if you didn't know this about Derek Dooley before Friday night's press conference, you likely came away "dooley" impressed. I certainly was.
What impressed me the most was his reference to his personal history of getting out of his "comfort zone." That is the trait of a successful person, one who continually stretches themselves beyond limits and boundaries. Read More…
A Final Look at the Short Road from Kiffin to Dooley
This past week promised to be slow, until Lane Kiffin left for Trojan Town and started a coaching search party with a rock-painting contest and a T-shirt burning party.
Hammy Dusted Off Last Year's Target List
After Kiffin dropped the bomb that set off the week's nuclear chain reaction, Mike Hamilton hoped we would have a new coach by the end of Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, depending on what you were reading. On Friday morning, when Tennessee was 0-for-4 or -5 or -6, again depending on what you were reading, it felt like we might not have a coach until the Orange and White Game, or maybe even an interim situation for a year. Read More…
Watch List
UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton let it be known what his working philosophy is:
"Most of you know that I have this feeling that you should always be prepared as an AD for any change that comes about. It is inevitable from time to time and that allowed us to get on the move very quickly and we are down that road. I don't like to put too many timetables on anything of this nature, but everybody knows that we are about to hit a live recruiting period again and this is an absolutely critical time for our program as it relates to wrapping up recruiting and approaching signing day. We will work very diligently to bring closure to this process as quickly as possible so that we can bring the right head coach here for our student-athletes, for our university and for our fans."
Feel better? I will when this is all over. I think. Depends, doesn't it?
So, here's not what makes sense, necessarily, but what's being mentioned, as of this evening, by folks who should know (better)… Read More…

Contest at bangcartoon
Over at bangcartoon they have a weekly contest. Usually they have a more or less difficult question, but this week you just have to put in the name of your favorite team to be in the bowl:
The team with most followers in the contest has a chance to get the prize. So I thought if I were to stand a chance of winning, I'd see if some of you wanted to get in on this one.
Thanks to PPE for the sig.

If it does not taste like what's on the label (a Chianti, for instance, should taste like Chianti) or if the price is too high for what we're tasting, we don't stock it. Pretty simple actually.

By 2010 it had become clear that debts to international banks had grown beyond Greece's single-handed ability to repay or service. By 2013 it has become frighteningly clear at a far deeper level that Europe itself faces unforseen possibilities: internal collapse, hegemony over poorer nations by richer nations or, just possibly, a brighter future benefitting INDIVIDUAL Europeans as distinct from their European national GOVERNMENTS.
So argues German sociology professor and much published political thinker Ulrich Beck in his 2012 DEUTSCHES EUROPA, translated into English by Rodney Livingstone as GERMAN EUROPE and issued in 2013 by Polity Press. GERMAN EUROPE is short: three chapters spread over 86 pages followed by 12 pages of end notes. There are no maps.
If you are already reasonably familiar with the economic and political history of Western, Central, Eastern and Southern Europe since the Second World War, you will find not much new or original in GERMAN EUROPE. There are however many "zinger" one-liner phrases, a couple of clumsy neologisms (e.g. "Merkiavelli") and a handful of obiter dicta that stay in memory. But for precisely such reasons, GERMAN EUROPE promotes rational informal discussion and can make very helpful popular reading in serious book clubs, in GREAT DECISIONS foreign policy discussion groups and around the water coolers at work.
The book is eminently quotable.
The 1948 the United States Government Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) stimulated war-ravaged nations of Western, Central and Southern Europe to unite themselves through stages such as the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and others to move towards a future in which something like a United States of Europe would become at least imaginable. Since 1993 the European Union (EU) has provided the umbrella under which a single market flourishes, internal passport controls have been abolished and a 2002 financial Eurozone with a single currency, the EURO , has been established. The EU has permanent diplomatic missions and is represented within the United Nations.
In 2012 the EU's population exceeded 500 million -- 7.3% of estimated global population. The EU's economy contained 20% of this world's purchasing power and was the world's largest "single" economic structure.
In GERMAN EUROPE Professor Beck argues that observers become first so dazzled by the European Union's economic successes and then so deflated by today's EURO currency and Greek and other national debt crises, that we too often forget major positive POLITICAL reasons for Europe's ever growing voluntary moves toward European integration.
The political results have been unintended, ironic and, in a phrase, "Europe has become German" (Preface vii). For the EU and predecessors, from the viewpoint of Nazi Germany's non-German victims, were designed to "tame" divided Germans, surround that rogue elephant by tame elephants and teach Germans to behave better. By and large this worked well, until the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the communist German Democratic Republic on October 01, 1990.
GERMAN EUROPE argues that German Reunification may have begun the unintended Germanization of the entire European Union. The new Germany took more time than many had anticipated to lift the economic basket case of absorbed East Germany to something close to parity with the West. Meanwhile, in united Germany the absorbing "Wessies" had to pay higher taxes to lift the acceding "Ossies" (Easterners) up high enough as no longer to be an embarrassment to Wessies.
Some affluent West Germans learned thereby to look down on their poorer Eastern German kinfolk as brainwashed by communism, lazy, unproductive and in some ways undeserving. West German Protestant ethic's noblesse oblige raised up weaker Germans but the latter had to learn to behave like Wessies. According to Ulrich Beck this attitude of benevolent hegemony of wealthy Germans over poor Germans has carried over in 2012 and 2013 to Germany's attitude toward its poor "Southern" relations within the European Community as the latter wrestle with colossal debts and seem unable to maintain the discipline required to maintain the EURO as united Europe's principal currency.
Today's Europe, says, Beck, is "Merkiavellian": that is, awed by the "cruel love" policies and cautious, indecisive crisis management style of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and reflecting the thinking of Europe's first analyst of crisis management Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527). Merkel is now "the uncrowned Queen of Europe." And Germans, consciously or otherwise, are re-structuring the European Union so that all European non-Germans must conform to German economic habits: work hard, stop goofing off and living beyond your means, save money, avoid debt and find salvation through suffering.

EDiM6 ws 'draw a holiday card'. None of us were quite sure what a holiday card was, because we don't use that expression here. I guessed, and as I'd received this card for Easter from my friends in Switzerland I decided to sketch that.
I used my Sakura Glaze pens, which create a resist, then finished it with watercolour washes. Unfortunately the Sakura Glaze pens don't seem to come in earth tones, so I had to work with what I had. They give a slightly raised surface which is shiny seen from some angles. I wasn't sure how they'd be in a sketchbook – whether they would stick to the opposing page – but they were fine. In fact they dry almost immediately and not really any delay before applying the washes. You can't ge them in Australia.

(WBTW) - Credit unions from around the Pee Dee came together to offer free gas fill-ups Tuesday morning.
Cars began lining up before the 7:30 a.m. kickoff at the Breakers Food Mart on West Evans Street in Florence.
The first one hundred vehicles in line received $20 in free regular gas, courtesy of the Credit Unions of South Carolina.
According to a press release, the offer of free gas kicks off the second year of an ongoing campaign, referred to as MADTAG, by the Credit Unions of South Carolina to highlight the good deeds being done in our local community, and those who are making a difference.
"Instead of just asking people what good deeds have been done for them, we wanted to lead by example by surprising drivers with free gas" said Linda Weatherford, Director of Marketing for SPC Credit Union also with offices based in Florence. "Hopefully the drivers who are the recipients of our good deed will be energized to find a way to pass it on" Weatherford said.
The Credit Unions of South Carolina have launched a Facebook page, encouraging people to submit examples of good deeds that have been done for them, and who is responsible for them. For more information on the MADTAG initiative, visit www.madtag.org. Real time updates are also being provided via twitter @MADTAGSC.

Yahoo embarrasses themselves
Yahoo sports went out of their way to post the top 33 QBs in the NFL. Here is what they had to say about the 8th best QB, Big Ben: "With rare play-making abilities and a strong track record, the only things holding him back are off-field issues and an inability to perform well on the NFL's biggest stage." Have they lost their minds?

Construction on one of North Dakota's most popular Cultural Centers is almost complete. Rene Thibault has the details on the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center expansion.
"We love the fact that people that are new to North Dakota are coming and enjoying our rich cultural history, enjoying our sites, and it doesn't matter if you've lived here for 80 years on the family farm or 8 days in a crew camp, you can enjoy all that we have," said David Borlaug, President of the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.
And very soon, there will be an even bigger opportunity to experience North Dakota's rich culture. The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Washburn is nearing completion on a 9000 square foot expansion.
"We have got a world class collection of books on Lewis and Clark, on North Dakota, on the American West, we're going to put that in an environmentally safe and secure library, that will be made available not only to the general public, but especially to scholars, to authors," added Borlaug.
The 5.5 Million Dollar expansion project includes a new rare book and resource library, large deck over-looking the Missouri River, added gallery space, and a 180 seat event center.
"Somebody told us recently, one of the scholars, he said you know David you've always been the center of the Lewis and Clark trail, you've got a beautiful facility, now you're becoming the intellectual center of the Lewis and Clark trail, and we're pretty proud of that," stated Borlaug.
Throughout the year and a half of construction, staff at the Interpretive Center has put a focus on continuing to serve the public.
"Obviously you don't want to disappoint somebody that came all the way from Vermont, or Texas, or even Bismarck to see what we have to offer, and say 'Sorry we're shut down,' so we've maintained all of our operations," Borlaug said.
And the expansion project puts the Lewis and Clark Center in a unique position.
"All across America, museums right now are contracting, they're not expanding. That's not the story in North Dakota, that's not the story of the Lewis and Clark Trail. We're very dynamic," concluded Borlaug.
Construction at the Lewis and Clark Center is expected to be completed in August.
The grand opening for the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center expansion is set for September 14th. The Center is open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For more information visit the www.FortMandan.com.

Following a restoration costing more than $2 million, one of the world's most famous fresco paintings, found in the Scrovegni chapel in Padua, Italy, is once again open to the public. The masterpiece by Giotto, which was commissioned by the artist's Paduan patron Enrico Scrovegni, depicts a cycle of 100 biblical scenes and covers the walls and ceilings of the 700-year-old church. The restoration, a team effort led by Giuseppe Basile, director of the Central Institute for Restoration, required 150,000 hours of work.
To ensure that visitors flocking to the location are certain of seeing the frescoes at their best, the ideal combination of fluorescent and discharge lamps and daylight was found following lengthy tests conducted by a team of experts. The project's LD, Lorenzo Fellin, says, "When approaching the task of illuminating a work of art of this importance, the first consideration regarded the 'legitimacy' of using artificial light. There was considerable debate, from a cultural point of view, among the members of the committee for the protection of the chapel: Some said that the chapel originally didn't have any form of lighting, apart from candles during the liturgical celebrations. They also said that, apart from a certain period each day, which was very limited during the autumn and winter, the frescoes couldn't be seen with natural daylight." He adds, however, that certain things—the way sunlight treats Christ's halo in the Final Judgement section of the frescoes or the way March sunlight illuminates the portion depicting Scrovegni himself offering the chapel to God—indicate that Giotto was aware of natural lighting and its effects on the painting. Still, he says, "Daylight disturbed viewing, rather then helping it."
With this initial debate over, the members of Fellin's team faced the challenge of lighting the frescoes in a soft, delicate manner, without inappropriate accents, and, above all, ensuring perfect viewing conditions without risking damage to the painting. Thus a two-year analysis was carried out in collaboration with some of Fellin's final-year students, with the Galileo Ferraris Instituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale in Turin providing the necessary instruments and a team of experts. "We carried out a chromatic characterization on the frescoes," says Fellin, "using an MIR (mobile imaging radiometer) system to measure the reflection factors when they were illuminated by different light sources, including daylight. On the basis of these results, we created a combination of types of light able to achieve ideal conditions for viewing these works. The restorers found this approach very interesting and we gave them the same mixture of lighting in advance to carry out restoration work."
The need for a totally unobtrusive permanent lighting installation was solved with a setup using instruments placed on the floor, on either side of the platform on which visitors walk, located in the center of the chapel and completely out of their sightlines. Special optics were fitted to ensure even coverage of the large wall area--no easy task, as some areas are almost 50' above the fixtures' positions.
The Disano Group and Osram donated the system's fixtures and lamps. A series of custom containers was designed to hold the instruments. There is a total of eight metal containers, each equipped with a Disano Evoluzione and Lunar fixture with a 30° beam angle covering different areas of the walls and ceiling and fitted with Osram Lumilux De Luxe fluorescent tubes. The Evoluzione is a sheet-metal asymmetric direct light with a 58W tube, while the Lunar is an injection-molded polycarbonate unit fitted with a pair of 18W tubes. Both are Disano standard products, with modified optics. The tubes' additional phosphors give a better spectral color distribution and excellent color rendition: 3800K (cool white, to emphasize the blues) and 3000K (warm white) versions were chosen.
At the front of each of the custom containers, which are designed to avoid light spill as well as to make the hardware as unobtrusive as possible, a smaller container houses a Disano Bario. These die-cast aluminum units, each with a 26° beam angle, are used to light the vault with an Osram Powerstar HCI 70W single-ended metal halide lamp (Again, with a 4200K cool white bulb to highlight Giotto's legendary blue). This lamp was also chosen because it retains its color temperature throughout its life, as the filler substances cannot escape from the gas-tight ceramic discharge tube. Compared with conventional metal halide lamps with quartz discharge tubes, these offer an average of 25% greater luminous efficacy and improved color rendering.
At the top of the walls in the apse, an adjustable bar with four Gi OttO spotlights by Fosnova (a member of the Disano Group) fitted with narrow-beam (8°) Halospot AR111 75W tungsten halogen lamps supplies accent lighting for the altar's statues. The entire system can be dimmed according to the amount of daylight and there are plans for a sensor to automate this facility.
Osram managing director Paolo Colombo concludes, "In a country like Italy, with over half the world's art treasures, the quality of life also means preserving these works of art and enabling them to be appreciated. The Scrovegni Chapel is a splendid present-day example of what lighting can do in the service of art, and at Osram we have even closer ties with this project, as we supplied the first discharge lamp-based lighting system back in 1986."

Excellent, friendly service
Our family, 2 adults and 2 young children, recently stayed at the Novotel York for a short 2 night break. As I had read mixed feedback on the hotel I wasn't too sure what to expect. All I can say is that I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel!. Very family friendly, excellent service, wonderful food (particularly the evening carvery) and all well priced. Also wonderful location, located at side of the river Ouse, only a few mins walk to city.
On the down side pool is a little too cold and on small side, but that said, it didn't stop the girls having fun!

Makeup trial
Last week was a big week of appointments for me….first off was makeup. I'm having my makeup done by my friend Claribel who works at Fresh….I've always loved Fresh products because they are all natural and Claribel consistently does a great job with my makeup. I had a few clippings of makeup I've loved, and when I saw Keri Russell on the red carpet at the Oscars, I knew that was it for me. I think the results pretty close, don't you? hehe.

very nice! That's the look I'm going for for my wedding, too. What kind of foundation/concealer did she use, do you know? That is my biggest worry when it comes to makeup, some of them reflect flash and make me look even paler than I already am! Since you and I have very similar coloring you've probably experienced the same thing!

i'm not sure if she used any concealer, but she did use powder instead of traditional foundation. i always tend to look a tad transparent, being so "snow white-ish" and all. All the products were from Fresh, so I would go to one of their stores and have them try some out.

I love the eyes! A little tip for you, if you can wear a shirt the same color as your dress it will give you a better idea of what you need. For example I require more bronzer or blush when I wear white because it makes me paler than usual.

Selecting The Best Web Hosting Company Is Easy
It goes without any sayings that before you put up your web site online, it is necessary to make sure you are selecting the services of the most reputable web hosting provider. To identify the provider which suits your needs and requirements, you are to look at the customer support, uptime guarantee, and of course its security.
Downtime Guarantee
It is a quite simple truth that a web site which is down when customers and readers visit would most likely lead to great loss of online opportunities. It is true that no online web site could potentially take a 100% uptime, but still there are web hostings that are able to offer reduced downtime. Keep in your mind that the best hosting company will most surely offer this opportunity and even provide refund if downtime is too long.
It is not quite a wise thing to go for a hosting company that claims to provide 100% uptime as this is simply impossible. But your web site could be up almost the great majority of the time, something up to 99.9%. This will be possible in the event you opt for services with Hostgator. In fact this company even posts necessary statistics on their page. In this way you will have an idea about frequency of web site interruptions and potential downtime percentages.
Customer Support Service
It goes without any sayings that there is no need to overlook the type of customer support service which is provided by a web hosting company. Your aim is to get convenient support to your web site, you should also ensure that you would get the relevant support you might need to solve your technical problems.
It is true that the best web hosting company is the one that will be acceptable when you just need it, that means that you are to be able to contact them 24 hour a day and 7 days a week. Instant and easy access to support team is to be acceptable. You will have all the mentioned with Hostgator company.
Backups And Security
In fact the best hosting provider offers overall security to your web site hosted with them. Your hosting company is to be able to provide a secure shield against attacks of hackers and viruses. Keep in your mind that all the security features are to be stated and clearly detailed by the hosting provider first and foremost.
It is necessary to bear in your mind that no hosting service will be fully safe against different types of programs and technical glitches. But still the best among web hosting providers are those that are able to run scheduled backups. It is true that backups are essential in event your web site suddenly fails. So you need to ensure that your web host uses cPanel, which is treated as the most reliable management software today.
Modern world is the world of digital technologies. Thus, it is not surprising that there appear more and more businesses related to Web activities. And the most popular business is web hosting. There exist various types of hosting services. Those who are searching for hostgator coupon, are invited to review this hostgator coupon code site – the very spot to find a good hosting coupons.
Moreover, keep in mind that our world is the world of modern Internet technologies. It wouldn't be smart not to make use of the Internet network to search for hostgator coupon codes at the best prices available on the market. Look for the required in Google or other search engines, visit social networks, review blogs and forums – all this will help you solve many issues.


text: Demarcus Ware recently created quite a stir in the Dallas Cowboy community when he said this when when talking about Toni Romo " I feel like everybody is deserving to whatever is given to him, but at the end of the day, to me it's put up or shut up." He continued saying "I'm just being straight-up honest with you. Get out there and be productive, and that's with any play, Whatever they get, they're deserving of it. You just got to get out there and play and I know he can be and will be the quarterback that is going to be the quarterback that is going to take us to the next level." At first, I was shocked by this statement. I immediately thought that Romo has been very productive and it's a team effort that wins playoff games. However, after i thought it over, I realized that Ware was talking about the future and how Romo, and every other quarterback, needs to live up to his contract. Although I think Ware is a out of place as a teammate to say this I do think it's time for Tony Romo to "put up or shut up".

From the FanPosts -Joel
For those of you unfamiliar with basketball, pick and rolls are something you will see immediately when watching any game. They have become so popular in the NBA that entire teams base their offense on it. What makes it so effective? It creates a block on someone from moving and creates all sorts of movement off the ball. Here is an example of a pick and roll in basketball and all the rotations and problems that it causes:
In the NFL, you aren't allowed to use picks in the defensive backfield for fear of pass interference. Thus, creating separation is based mostly on physical attributes and scheming. For the Chiefs this season, creating routes and patterns that free up other receivers is important given the lack of elite talent for the receiving core. The Chiefs have utilized "rub routes" periodically throughout the pre-season. Dwayne Bowe is particularly lethal in these combinations. Let's take a look:
Here Bowe is up at the very top with Junior Hemmingway in the slot. Their routes are schemed together to allow for them to cut off so that Bowe can use the inside position to "post up" the DBs and gain leverage. Keep your eyes on Bowe's DB. Notice how there is a bit of hesitation in going to Bowe due to Hemingway's "pick." There are a clutter of bodies and a sudden change of direction that allows Bowe to get in a bit of space and create yards after the contact.
For another nice example of rub routes, I found this great link here which I will post images below. Ironically the sides will reverse for this one:
Here you can see the difficulty this route causes our former beloved DB. Notice how Emmanuel Sanders times his route and jumps off his route right when the the timing is right. It is a coordinated play between the two receivers. A pick and roll of sorts.
Here is a better look in All-22 film:
Many of you have probably already noticed by now that this is the type of route running that works particularly against man coverage. By aligning Dwayne Bowe and a quicker receiver, there can be some mismatches to be made in the open field. These can also be executed very well out of bunch formations where the defenders and receivers are all clogged up next to each other. It also helps to space the opposite side of the field like both teams do above with a quick receiver and RB come out of the backfield.
Well, those are rub routes. I hope that you all will appreciate them when you see them and have a better viewing experience because of it.

SO you already have a bottle opener, a salad bowl or two, and more than enough lamps for your home. Do you need more? Giovanni Alessi Anghini says yes, and this is not because he is a product designer.
"Products don't just solve needs. They are the main channel by which we communicate our personalities," says Mr Anghini, who hails from the famed Alessi family, best known for producing quirky designer kitchen and desktop accessories.
Unlike most designers who would go to design school from the start, Mr Anghini chose to study cultural sociology and anthropology, because "I had a strong interest in human behaviour".
But coming from a family which made its name on good design, it soon became clear that Mr Anghini would eventually become a designer. "I got bored after two years of studying sociology and anthropology in Florence. It was all theory and I was doing nothing concrete," he says.
He switched courses, choosing to study industrial design in Milan, but where he could "explore the concept that I studied in sociology and use it in product design".
He believes that products are linked to sociology and anthropology, and to people's behaviours. "We no longer need products for their function, but more for the ability to explore imagination," he says. "As a designer, I don't explore people's needs but rather their dreams."
As child, he liked taking things apart and putting them back together, and had always wanted to be an inventor. Asked if it was natural for him to become a designer, the Italian says no. In fact, among his 14 cousins, he is the only one interested in design. "My grandfather, Carlo, was the last designer in the family before me," says Mr Anghini. The company, founded in 1921 by Mr Anghini's great grandfather, Giovanni, is now headed by his father, Alessio, and his uncle Alberto.
Having a famous last name can be a bane at times. Mr Anghini recalls that in school "teachers were always saying everything I did was alright, even when I purposely submitted really bad work."
Realising that this was not the kind of education he wanted, he worked for free with well-known designer Stefano Giovannoni, who designs for Magis, Moooi and Lazazza, among other brands. "I wanted to learn about how things work in real life, how to be a proper designer," says Mr Anghini. Two years later, he left to start his own studio GAA Design Farm.
Alessi does not have in-house designers, instead it chooses to work with independent designers. They include Giovannoni, Philippe Starck and Micheal Graves.
Mr Anghini designs for Alessi as well. Among the products, include the Moom salad bowl, and Pop-Up bottle opener. The latter, which resembles a stainless steel egg, won the Good Design Award in 2008, and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Architecture and Design in Chicago.
He is especially proud of the range of LED lights done for Alessilux in collaboration with Foreverlamp. "I wanted to bring LED technology to the masses, but there was a problem," he says. "LED bulbs tend to be costlier than incandescent bulbs, but they can last longer. The question was how to convince people to pay more for something that is more energy saving in the long run."
The result is a series of lamps where the LED bulbs don't look like bulbs, but look like lamps. "There is no longer a need to cover up the bulbs now," he says.
Mr Anghini says that for him, it is not about designing the best looking product, but rather about enhancing the user's experience. He cites the example of his bottle design for Adiacqua's Bognanco mineral water which resembles a top heavy vase. "The design is an attempt to represent the intimate relationship with water," says Mr Anghini.
It took him four years to design Pop-Up, two years for the LED bulbs and six months for Bognanco. "I'm getting faster," he quips. His focus now is on creating technological products, because "technology has been and will still continue to change the way we live".
At 32, he says he is too young to decide what he wants to be best known for. "But probably the experience people have using my products matters most to me," he says.

My brother was using this and it didn't do anything for his skin, so I decided to try it. I'm very surprised there are such good reviews on this because it did nothing for me. I wasn't even sure if it cleaned by face. I tone with witch hazel and I could see the residue of my bb cream on the cotton pad. Made me very suspicious of the cleaning power.

ok cleanser but not perfect! love the package and the pump bottle but the smell is a little strong. will keep using with the moisturizer but still searching for HG product!

Love this stuff! Only been using this for a week and it's been helpful in calming my breakouts. I hope it continues working well. I think this is going to be a holy grail cleanser. It removes make-up nicely but I do use a toner to make sure everything is off once I apply my acne treatment. Anyways, I don't know why I strayed and decided I should get the prier products thinking they work better..here I am back to the basics. I use this in conjunction with the moisturizer from the same line and loving them both! This deserves a higher rating!
Did not like this cleanser! It seemed to do an "ok" job of cleansing, but dissipated quickly when I put it on my face and absolutely no lather! Way too expensive for this kind of result. Will be returning it tomorrow!

At 25 I thought acne problems were a thing of the past; but I was completely wrong. About a year ago I started breaking out on my forehead, chin, the side of my face where the hairline meets; to say the least, it was embarrassing and annoying. I tried everything on the market for adult acne but nothing worked. I finally decided it was time to see a dermatologist so I asked around for suggestions. Many were suggested, but most asked if I had tried Cetaphil before seeing one. Honestly, I had never heard of Cetaphil but thought I would give it a try before spending tons to see a dermatologist. Thank God for the tip! I started using the regular Cetaphil facial wash twice daily and the results were showing. The weren't completely gone, but they were under control. About a week ago I discovered Cetaphil Dermacontrol. Although I have combination skin, I thought why not? Since it's specifically for acne-prone skin, I'd give it a try. And let me tell you, I am definitely seeing results. My skin has cleared up about 90 percent, even during the time of my cycle.
Here is my daily routine:
I start by applying coconut oil to my face and leaving it on for about a minute. I then wash my face with Cetaphil Dermacontrol for a good two minutes. Rinse and finish with Cetaphil moisturizer.
The coconut oil is getting rid of my acne scars, while the face wash keeps my outbreaks away and the moisturizer leaves my face feeling fresh.
I don't write many reviews unless I truly believe in the stuff; and Cetaphil is definitely worth every star.
AMAZING PRODUCT! JUST BOUGHT MY SECOND BOTTLE! RECCOMMENDED BY MY DERMATOLOGIST! Works wonders! Useful on body as well
this is a unique cleanser because a bit powdery once rubbed in and rinsed off. theres no strong scent, its a very mild powder scent. i use 1 1/2 pump each time, which is a good amount. but as for oil control... i dont see a difference. i have the sample size so im going to just use this up and go back to my HG cleanser. overall, this cleanser isnt all that, its just unique cause it feels powdery.
I have used so many cleansers in my lifetime it's almost embarassing. I've used over the counter and prescription cleansers. I have cystic acne that flairs up when I'm stressed and on my period. I wouldn't call this face wash an overnight success but it has been a success for me. I've been using it for almost 6 months now and my acne is much better controlled. However, this wash does make my skin a little dull so I use clinique exfoliating scrub (the one with menthol) every few nights after washing my face with this cetaphil. I'm not sure how this stuff works because there's no benzoyl peroxide or salycilic acid in it. It does decrease the oil throughout the day. It does take away some nataural glow which if frustrating but I love having clearer skin. I just moisturize with clinique moisturizing gel (the pink one) at nighttime to give back a little radiance. Of the mornings I moisturize with Mac oil control moisturizer. Some days I have to use the clinique gel of the mornings too depending on the time of year and weather. I did use the cetaphil oil control lotion with the wash for a while but I felt like it wasn't doing anything for my skin. It didn't break me out but I didn't see a difference in my skin either. I wish the bottle was clear so I could see when I'm about to run out rather than just having to feel the bottle to see if I'm getting close. It's about ten dollars which is pricey for a drugstore brand but it's cheaper than proactiv which I used before this. I have repurchased this facewash twice in the 6 months I've been using it so the product lasts a while considering I use this morning and night and sometimes in between.
I forgot to meantion that if you keep this in the shower make sure you replace the lid on the bottle as soon as you're done getting the product out. Water gets into the bottle very easily and when it does I feel like it changes how the product works. I've ruined a few bottles like this unknowingly and kept using them. My face tended to breakout more when I let water slip in.

This burns my eyes. It comes out as foam, but is not lathery on face. However, it removes my makeup, and leaves my skin clean and smooth. I haven't noticed whether or not it controls oil. Their liquid cleanser is much better at foaming up.
I love this cleanser! for the longest time I was using a Murad cleanser that me and my mom shared then I switched to this because my dermatologist had recommended it to me and its awesome ! at first I didn't really like the idea of a foam cleanser bcuz I thought it would be TOO gentle and its the complete opposite. Although it doesn't get rid of ALL my makeup it gets off about 90% after this I just use my witch hazel toner and that does the trick. Its not over drying at all I like it alot better than the murad cleanser. It also helped with my redness and instantly calmed my skin and I felt so clean after using this. If I were too recommend any thing to anyone it would be this cleanser.

Reports are that the Atlanta Braves have traded their current first baseman, Casey Kotchman, to the Red Sox for their former first baseman, Adam LaRoche. The deal was first reported by Jon Heyman of SI.com, then by NESN via this link. I had barely got done putting up the speculation post about this rumor, when it was confirmed to be true.
As I said in that post, this is not really a trade upwards, but more of a lateral move, and one that frees the Braves of any obligation to Kotchman beyond this year. Kotchman is under team control for a couple more years, LaRoche is a free agent. LaRoche is also one of Chipper Jones' best buds -- they own land together -- and it wouldn't surprise me if he was influential in this trade in some form or fashion.
LaRoche does represent an increase in power production over Kotchman, something that may have intrigued the Braves. He is also often referred to as a "second half" player as evedenced by his .773 first half OPS, versus his .899 second half OPS. His history with the orgainzation may also lead them to believe that he could be re-signed this off-season at a reasonable price. At the very least, there would be less risk in offering him arbitration.
More to come here as we find out.
[UPDATE: 4:15pm]
I just got the press release, and we get "cash considerations" along with LaRoche. So the Red Sox will be sending some salary our way, not sure how much yet.
