Need an idea for an afternoon snack? Intern Valeria Turturro knows what you should be craving.
Move over cupcakes; cake balls seem to be the next hot item on the scene. If last night's Cotes du Coeur Wine Society Holiday Cake Ball Bash was any indication, these bite-size creations are catching on fast. With flavors ranging from the beloved red velvet cake to seasonal ginger snap andpeppermint chocolate, six bakeries provided delicious treats to pair with numerous wines (what's a wine society event without wine?).
The wine society kicked off the holiday season in preparation for its 20th annual Cotes du Coeur event in April. Cotes du Coeur is a fine wine auction and celebrity chef dinner that benefits the American Heart Association. For more information, go here. —Valeria Turturro

LEASE POLICIES KEPT MORE THAN 40% OF Honda DRIVERS AWAY FROM BRAND
LeaseTrader.com Members Stay True To Word When Experiencing Lease Frustrations
MIAMI – (December 13, 2011) – In its continuing series on the impact lease policy has on brand retention, LeaseTrader.com announces its latest report showing as many as 42 percent of its members from 10 years ago have stayed away from certain auto brands because of lease policy frustrations. The results illustrate the issues lease customers have with brands' leasing policies such as Honda's, and the number of drivers who've stayed away from these brands over the years.
The two most significant areas of the lease policy customers reported having frustrations with include the time it takes a person to transfer their leased vehicle and drivers being forced to remain on the contract as a guarantor post-transfer. Other frustrations include overall responsiveness and friendliness by lease company staff. Customers also understand there are fees imposed by the lease companies but want to make sure there's a certain level of value, speed and service behind the fees.
"Our intention with this series of brand retention reports is to provide a voice for all the LeaseTrader.com members frustrated with their leasing companies that have policies built on yesterday's way of thinking," said Sergio Stiberman, CEO and founder of LeaseTrader.com. "Our marketplace has been able to show that when you have lease policies that keep the customer's needs in mind, it can make a positive impact within a brand's bottom line and positive customer experience."
LeaseTrader.com polled approximately 200 former members who used the service between 2000-2004 and stated at the time they wouldn't again drive a particular brand because of their lease and lease transfer experience. The most notable brand was Honda, where 41.7 percent of drivers reportedly have stayed away from the brand since 2004 primarily due to their previous lease policy experience. Other companies also ranking highest on the list include Acura, Nissan and Infiniti.
Percent Haven't Bought / Leased Brand Since 2004
In LeaseTrader.com's ongoing series addressing the role lease policy has on brand retention, the company has reported on the fact that domestic makers have stolen market share from Japanese rivals. Chrysler and Dodge are a lease policy success story, going from 71 days-to-transfer to less than 19 as a result of its change from Chrysler Financial to Ally Financial. Import carmakers like BMW and Mercedes enjoy high brand retention rates as opposed to Nissan and Mitsubishi primarily because of their leasing policies.
This story posted by LeaseTrader.com, the automotive service company that lets people transfer out of their Car Leases early. If you're looking to swap a lease or transfer out of your car lease, please visit www.leasetrader.com

Kucinich Says Obama's Handling Of Libya May Be Impeachable Offense
A member of President Barack Obama's own political party recently stated that the Commander in Chief has violated the Constitution by bypassing Congressional approval to intercede in Libya's civil war.
Israel, For Real…
Give President Barack Obama credit. Having proved himself the most domestic policy-impaired president since Jimmy Carter "lusted in his heart" (if not since Warren Harding got his Teapot Domed), Obama has evidently decided to set his sights overseas. Bad luck for the citizens of our best strategic ally in Middle East.
Palin's Aides Fire Back Against New Book
Frank Bailey, formerly an aide to Sarah Palin, is already facing criticism for his tell-all book about Alaska's former Governor, and the book will not be out until Tuesday. Describing Bailey's "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin" as "fiction," several sources close to Palin told POLITICO the book is clearly biased.
British Doctor Threatened With Censure For Discussing Jesus With Patient
An openly Christian doctor in England faces censure from his professional body for discussing Jesus with a patient. According to an article on MyFoxNY.com, Richard Scott, who has practiced medicine for 28 years, "is under investigation by the General Medical Council (GMC) and faces disciplinary action after he suggested to a 24-year-old man that he might find solace in Christianity."
You Won't See These Big GOP Names On The 2012 Presidential Ballot
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels announced his decision not to run for the 2012 Presidency on Sunday, leading the GOP to put increasing pressure on other possible candidates. Unfortunately for the Republicans, some of their biggest names insist they will not run.
Gingrich Was In Debt To Tiffany's, Shocking Six-Figure Sum
In 2005 and 2006, 2012 GOP Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich owed between $250,001 and $500,000 to the luxury jewelry store Tiffany & Co. According to an article on Politico.com, the debt was exposed by financial disclosures filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
Supreme Courts Affirm The Police State
Our descent into a police state is complete, as evidenced by rulings by the Indiana and U.S. Supreme Courts which, last week, effectively and finally abolished the 4th Amendment. No longer are American citizens "secure in the persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures," thanks to the two rulings affirming police authority to bash down your door and enter your home without a warrant. Resisting such an incursion is now a crime.
Improving Liver Function
Dear Bob,
In the April issue of The Bob Livingston Letter you mentioned methyl-B12 to improve the liver's methylation pathway and liver function. How much methyl-B12 do you recommend taking along with Metacrin DX to clear the liver's methylation pathway?
Thanks in advance,

Airsoft Training Inexpensive And Fun
As ammunition prices have bounced all over the place and the threat/promise of increased firearms and ammunition legislation has increased, I have started doing more and more of my training with airsoft police tactical pistols or trainers. They have allowed me to train with my wife more often than we could if live fire were our only option. As an added benefit, I know that if it becomes illegal or a serious liability to train with firearms in the future, I have a backup plan in place to stay proficient as well as get new shooters up to speed with firearms.

Blazers G Jamal Crawford Talks NBA Trade Rumors
Some soundbytes from Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford, who has been the subject of trade rumor after trade rumor in advance of Thursday's deadline. Some quotes from a Monday afternoon interview with John Canzano on 750 AM The Game. Audio link here. --------------------------------- "[My agent] does tell me that your name is out there a lot. The thing I respect about him, he's very honest. He said, 'Your name is out there a lot, it has obviously to do with the contract.' With some people saying that, 'He's going to opt out anyway, you might as well get something for him.' "But the thing about the opt out clause is this: even if I just opted out, it's just the business part of that. If I opted out, that doesn't mean you want to leave the place you're at, it's just the business part of it. You may look for a long-term deal or a new contract. "Just as when I signed with Portland on the business side, all the money they had was the money they had, and they created a little bit more with Brandon [Roy] retiring. That was their business side of it. "It's not like 'He wants to leave.' Or this or that. It just gives you options at the end of the season. People have asked me about the opt out, I kind of took my mind off of it. If I'm thinking about the opt out already in the middle of the season, I'm doing Portland a disservice. I'm going to do the best job I can do as long as I'm here and I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. "I just want to be somewhere that's stability. If you look at all the situations, people say, 'He's been on so many different teams.' I was drafted by Chicago and I played their four years. I signed with New York because that was the right business deal at that time. I stayed their 4.5 years. The only reason they traded me was to free up money for the 2010 free agency class. They traded myself and Zach Randolph on the same day. I went to Golden State and he went to the Clippers. I was a casualty of war with the whole 2010 free agency. They needed to clear up money. I get it, no hard feelings. "I go to Golden State, then I get traded to Atlanta. I win Sixth Man of the Year, we go to the playoffs, we average 50 wins, I'm the second leading scorer on the team. Their situation was all their money was tied up with Marvin [Williams], Joe [Johnson], and Al [Horford] and Josh [Smith] and all those guys. It was nothing personal. "Then I came here and I found myself in trade rumors again. I guess this has just been my journey. For me, I just have to stay professional and do the best job I can no matter where I'm at." --------------------------------- Quote from Joe Freeman of The Oregonian from practice here. --------------------------------- "At the end of the day, I chose to come here," Crawford said. "I want to be here. I don't know how to approach the situation, honestly. I haven't talked to anybody in the organization. I'm just trying to stay ready for whatever. Hopefully we can finish what we started. If not, well, it's a business." --------------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | email@example.com | Twitter


text: Hello fellow Field Gullians. My first post here on Field Gulls but I have been following for quite a while. A few weeks back I found out that the 50th Superbowl is going to be in the 49'rs backyard. I thought about this for far too long and came up with this question for my friends and I thought that this might bring up an interesting discussion. If due to some karmic alignment you could choose between a Superbowl this season but a mediocre follow-up for the next few years...or....watch Russell n' Friends fall flat on their face this year and the next but win in The Niners brand spankin' new stadium. What would you choose?

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum grows marvelously moody at night when low lighting gleams off the wood paneling and visitors gather in the glow of the courtyard to sip the cocktail of the month.
On the third Thursday of the month, Gardner After Hours channels the spirit of the museum's founder, one of Boston's legendary hostesses. Like a good party, each evening has a theme and enough activities to keep everybody busy. Although the museum stays open until 9 p.m. every Thursday, Gardner After Hours events welcome attendees to inhabit, rather than merely visit, the museum.

Harmon Kardon Go + Play Micro has an impressive design and it is not only a treat to our eyes but also for our ears with its menacing power. The word micro in its name doesn't mean that it is tiny as its size is almost identical to that of its predecessor with only half an inch reduction in its height and one and a half inch reduction in its width. Like its size, its price is also not small as it is priced at almost $400.
Maybe the word micro refers to its sound quality and features. Yes, the Go + Play Micro doesn't impress much with its performance to keep it at the top of the list. But it however manages to be in the list.
Its design as said above is almost identical to that of its predecessor with durable construction. The whole system is built inside a plastic and the speaker grilles are highlighted with aluminum accents. Of all, the handle impresses the most running over the full length of the box. The beautifully designed handle also offers an easy way to carry the set. The handle is built very strongly that it is comfortable enough to carry the 8 pound weighing Go + Play.
Unlike its predecessor, the iPod dock is placed in a forward slanting position which has now helped us in viewing the full screen of the iPhone or the iPod. Whatever iPod or iPhone you may use, it fits perfectly inside the dock and is also secure inside the adjustable screw. The eight cell battery compartment is located at the back along with an adapter, video output, aux input and USB pass through. The remote control storage compartment which was present in the predecessor has been avoided in the Micro. This is because the RF remote is now replaced with a IR remote.
We have to say that the number of features the speaker system does not include is more than that it includes. The system does not support FM or AM and there is no way to adjust the equalizer, so we are limited with the adjustment that is available in the iPhone or iPod. However the included features like the aux input, power adapter are all standard. Although it includes a degraded remote control, it includes features for navigation through the iPod menu. It is sad that the remote control does not include a power button.
We are sure that most of you will be giving first preference to sound quality than design. Therefore it is better to think twice before investing in it. You can also have a look at the Altec Lancing Mix which outperforms Go + Play Micro despite $100 less in price. Although only a portable speaker, the front tweeters along with a woofer at the bottom produce crisp details of sound.
Its performance is isn't like the predecessor because we don't think it works to is fullest capability. The Go + Play Micro includes computer optimized technology and optimized compression topology which will enhance the incoming signal. The manufacturer claims the system can work continuously for 18 hours with the 6-cell battery which would be enough to take it around.

Spotting in early pregnancy?
Hi, I am very early in pregnancy (my first), I guess I'm about 4 weeks if you count from LMP. I've been having light spotting, brown in color for 9 days now. It's only a few times each day, not enough to need a pad, just a liner. I'm nervous thought b/c I've had a colposcopy and am worried about having an incompetent cervix. I haven't been to the ob/gyn yet (will go in 2 weeks) so I dont' know my HCG levels. I'm just wondering if this sounds like something that could be normal or if it sounds like a threatened miscarriage. I haven't had any real cramping though a few times I have felt like a small twinge near my cervix. Has anyone had anything similar?

this is my first pregnancy, I am about 4 weeks pregnant. I started spotting about 3 days. Not enough for a pad but during the day its very light and brown and color and every night before bed when I use the bathroom I have a little bit of red blood in the toilet. i when to the dr n they took blood test they did a ultrasound but they didn't see ananything because it was to early. but I'm scare that i had a miscarriage, monday i have my appt to see my results of my blood test if the cells are going up ..but reading this gives me hope that maybe my baby is okay...posted 10/15/2011 by marquez10
I am pregnant (5 weeks) with #3 and am lightly spotting pinkish/orange. I spotted intermittently throughout #'s 1 & 2 as well. I have learned that this is NORMAL for me & for many other women. I also occasionally spot after a hard workout - even when not pregnant. I have been checked out - even had an ultrasound in the past and there was nothing abnormal. Two instances that were NOT normal both involved bright red blood - and a lot of it. Before baby #1 I had a placenta abruption and lost a son at 16 weeks and with baby #2 I had a cervical polyp that gushed around 24 weeks. I was on bedrest for a week and had to quit work for that. If you're worried, get checked out.posted 08/28/2011 by Sara794
It is still really early, some people have spotting, especially around the time of their period. Call your doctor, that is what they are there for, perhaps you could have your HCG checked. I have also had colposcopy and cervical conization. I was told if this affected me at all, it wouldn't be until later in pregnancy. I had spotting at 11 weeks with my first pregnancy and miscarried. I had even more spotting at 12 weeks with this preganancy and so far (21 weeks now) everything has been fine. Good Luck!!posted 08/12/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
i really found comfort from alot of these posts i am almost five weeks and had two days of bleeding but still had posotive urine pregnancy tests at the first sign of spotting i had a blood test done which was posotive but my dr appt. is still four days away. thank you for sharing your experiences it helped alot!!!posted 08/11/2011 by robthebob892hotmailc
I'm going through the same thing. I'm 6 wks and I have been spotting for 2. Brownish in color and kinda sticky. just enough to have to use a liner. I had my levels tested on Monday and they were at 8645 and then again on Wednesday and they were 14153. I had an ultrasound the following Monday (today) it looked good but there was no heartbeat....I'm worried but My midwife said to just relax, take it easy and don't worry. I have more blood work on the 18th and an ultrasound on the 19th. If by then there is no heartbeat then I have to have a DNC. It will be my 3rd miscarriage.posted 08/11/2009 by carddealer
i have been spotting since i was 4 weeks and i am now almost 7. when the spotting started i went to the hospital and they said it was a miscarriage but 12dayz later when i was still spotting i visited my doctor and they did a pregnancy test that still came out positive. i had my hcg levels checked and im waiting to hear my results on monday. i pray that every thing will turn out ok. none of this happened with my first pregnancy so i was very worried but after reading this thread and talking to my doctor it seems normal and im thinking on the positive side of things nowposted 06/04/2011 by miarose720
When I had my miscarriage in October 2010, the first thing I noticed was bright red spotting, enough to show up in my underwear. Eventually cramps followed. If it's not bright red, listen to your doctor. Rest all weekend and you should be fine. :)posted 06/04/2011 by kohlenbergerk

It is sooo nice to read this thread !! I am spotting for 11 days now, went to ER yesturday and they said it could be a threatened miscarriage...I had already read this this thread so I was not so scared to hear it...but with my experience I realised that I should have gone later b/c they cud not see anything in my uterus...but they did take make HCG count it is 49 so far...I will go to my ob/gyn in few days to test HCG again...I am surely nervous and worried...it did not started as we thought ..but reading this thread gives so much of confidence that it is unbelievable !! Thank you ladies for sharing all your experiences...Good luck !posted 02/21/2011 by div8hr
I am eleven weeks pregnant today. Just three days ago we went for a checkup and heard the heartbeat. Now, just yesterday I noticed very very light brown in my discharge and when I wipe. Freaking out, called my doctor and going to get an ultrasound Monday morning. reading these posts help me calm down. I am always crampy so I'm not taking that into consideration and at least from what I've read it is not bright red and doesnt happen everytime i go to the bathroom. I'm still nervous.posted 01/29/2011 by stephanieforsberg

"single and girlfriendless"
Dear Steve Hartman,
It's true that I'm "single and girlfriendless," as you so eloquently pointed out to all of North America, but I'd just like to inform you that I have three dates lined up with three different hotties in the next five days.
15 Comments
well your still single technically… if your going with 3 you dont realy have a girlfriend. you have a date though.
:) lol good luck
I'm not denying my singleness…just keeping Mr. Hartman informed in case he'd like to cover my other favorite pastime.
I don't exaggerate when it comes to snagging baseballs; the same holds true for other parts of my life.
A play-by-play of my dates? Interesting. It could happen at some point. Stay tuned.
You tell him Zack!
my brother brought home Time For Kids magazine from his school and they had an article about you! Here is the longer web version: http://www.timeforkids.com/TFK/zack
When did Hartman say this? During the CBS segment?
And, Zack did you know you are in this Wikipedia entry – listed as the record holder for game on normal settings?
Rrrrr. I'm still waiting to get my copy of Time For Kids. Thanks for the link.
He said it during the TV version (as opposed to the longer web-only version). I'm on Wikipedia?! Cool. I hadn't seen that…but it's true. I do have the world record. Someone told me recently that another one of my records is listed in the August 2006 issue of Game Room Magazine, but of course I haven't seen it.
CARDINALS are gunna win tonight just watch please!Jeff Weaver will get the job done.
You've probably heard that Manny Acta's being interviewd by the Nats for a Manger role, hope that doesn't cut down on a couple balls next year.
So did the CBS crew start helping you 'get a life'?
The Tigers are going to win! Oh, and Zack did you mean hotties or dinner with you parents?
Don't be so sure.
Oh man, really? I hadn't heard. If he gets the job (and I *am* rooting for him), that will definitely cost me a few balls.
Har har. No parents. No help from CBS.
Just wondering–have you ever thought about donating those baseballs to youth athletic leagues that really need equipment?

Luck by Chance
Description: The fantasy sellers and the devoted audience, the insane love for cinema mixed with the eccentric notion of divinity and archaic beliefs--these are the contradictions that keep this world spinning. The stark reality of living in India juxtaposed with the fantastical world depicted on screen suddenly begins to make sense "Luck By Chance" is about a slice of Bollywood life, in which Kismet plays a huge role. Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny underline every life, as grand desires and opportunity converge to form strange patterns. In such an unpredictable climate, is success and failure what others define for you or is it something you decide for yourself? This is a contemporary tale set in a world desperate to escape its own reality.

Earlier this week, The Hot Zone spoke with Dr. Rasmus Benestad of the Norwegian Meterological Institute about the need for precise local measurements of climate phenomena. We need local measurement, he pointed out, in order to tell what the real impact of climate change is on humans – as well as on other species. How are weather patterns changing, for instance? What effect does this have on agriculture and fisheries at the local level?
I asked Dr. Anastasia Romanou, Associate Research Scientist at NASA GISS, to address these questions. In her own research and climate modeling, Dr. Romanou does what I'd describe as fitting in with "think global, act local.â€
She cited, as an example, a study she and her colleagues undertook recently to ascertain the amount of radiative energy that reaches the Earth's surface.
According to measurements made in two very far-flung locales, Dr. Romanou and her colleagues found the level of radiation that reaches the Earth's surface varies greatly from location to location.
Dr. Romanou and her colleagues studied two areas that could not be more different from each other in terms of both physical climate and geopolitical climate: Thessaloniki, Greece and Beijing China. Dr. Romanou used local in situ and satellite measurements of radiation levels in Thessaloniki. She and her colleagues relied on satellite data from Beijing for measurements of radiation levels in China.
Dr. Romanou's measurements revealed that in Thessaloniki, where local government initiated a strict emissions control program almost two decades ago, the level of sunlight reaching the surface was much greater than it was before the control program was put in place. In contrast, in Beijing, where such controls were not put in place until 1996, the amount of sunlight that reaches the surface was found to be far less.  China's recent economic boom lead to huge increases in energy consumption and a corresponding increase in air pollution. These factors served to degrade Beijing's already poor air quality.
Curious about why Dr. Romanou's team used satellite data for their analysis of China's air, while they used data collected locally in situ in Greece, to carry out their analysis, I asked Dr. Romanou to explain.
"While satellite data tells us about large areas and is in some ways too general – the highest resolution we get from satellite data is a footprint of aboutt a hundred square kilometers – local in situ measurements can also be biased by small scale phenomena. Topography, microclimates, urban or rural environments affect local measurements. So we try to use both sets of data.
"Many governmental agencies in Europe and Asia are reluctant to release scientific data from their meteorological institutes to third parties. We had to use what is published in the literature, and data we gathered via satellite.â€
It turns out that some countries have very tight controls over data which can stand in the way of research and international collaboration. Data having to do with air quality and the efficacy of measures taken to improve it are the most often withheld. Governments that withhold data are concerned that releasing it may incriminate them in in the wake of stringent air quality regulations instituted over the last several years by international bodies.
It seems as though sometimes gathering data about climate presents difficulties that are more about politics than they are about science.
Next time, conversations with scientists involved in The Earth Observing System (EOS).

CHICAGO, Ill -- Governor Pat Quinn signed a law Friday creating the Asian-American Employment Plan Advisory Council.
The council will focus on new ways to assist Asian-Americans who are seeking a job within the state government. There will be 11 members of the council who are unpaid for their services.
"Illinois is a place where people of all cultures and backgrounds should feel welcome," Governor Quinn said. "This new employment council will help ensure that Asian-Americans know about and have access to opportunities."
The new law also directs the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) to prepare an Asian-American Employment plan in conjunction with the council.
The report will analyze the percentage of Asian-Americans in the workforce and be submitted to the governor and General Assembly on ways to increase Asian-American representation in the state workforce.

Thread: Vikings have twice lucky day
Vikings have twice lucky day
Not only did a bad snap at the end of the game save the Vikings but GB lost to tie up the division. What that means is a Vikings win friday on christmas eve and we all get a present of the NFC North title. The Vikings got away with the win in Detroit despite a prevent defense at the end of the game that almost prevented a win. While both teams had bad third quarters the Vikings forth quarter was just a tiny tiny touch better.
One the bright side I did like seeing Chavous playing some physical defense and he did a good job on run support. Burleson had another good game on offense. I also hope McKinnie got a wake up call after getting pulled for Dorsey. Now all the Vikings need is a good game friday!can we clone Bud Grant?

Vikings have twice lucky day
Speaking of Burleson's good game whats up with fantasy chanell on direct TV, they didnt show him in the WR column for yards or overall points. When is this guy gonna get his props, he has 9 TD's and damn near 1,000 yards recieving.

Are you looking for information on Shellac Nails? We've got it! Below is a FAQ written by nail artist, Hillary Fry. She answers some of the most frequently asked Shellac questions. Start with that and then, if you're thinking you'd like to try Shellac at home, check out DIY Shellac Nails which will give you all of the info you need to do it at home - plus to pros and cons of at-home Shellacing, a color swatch with links to buy the polishes and a page dedicated to Reader-Submitted Shellac Reviews. (Feel free to add your own!)
Shellac FAQ'sWhat is Shellac? Shellac is the brand name for a new, patent pending nail product created by Creative Nail Design. It is a hybrid, meaning half nail polish, half gel.
The product is thin and strong enough to be applied similarly to nail polish, but it is cured in a way that gives it great flexibility and durability. It also has the incredible shine associated only with gel nails.
Who is Shellac best suited for? Shellac is for people who want to maintain natural nails. The formulation looks as good from day 1 to day 14, but does not appear to damage nail beds. (see photos)
Who is Shellac least suited for? Those looking to lengthen their nails. You cannot use Shellac to create a longer nail. Also, Sellac isn't for clients with extremely damaged nail beds, split or peeling nails. It is best to get on a corrective program with your manicurist before thinking about Shellac. If your nail is peeling off, it will take Shellac with it.
How is Shellac different from the traditional polish manicure?
Typical nail polish dries by evaporation, which means your manicure is not cured until 2-3 hours after your service. Think about it – most of your manicure time is spent waiting for polish to dry.
But Shellac is cured by UV light, and within minutes. Your nails are completely dry by the time your manicure is over, and strong enough to withstand accidental knocks. It acts like a plasticized coating, suitable as a long lasting polish.
How is a Shellac service different from traditional nail enhancements (fake nails)? Drills are never used or needed with Shellac, and removal does not leave nails dry, thin, possibly torn.
Can you apply Shellac at home? No, Shellac can only be applied by a licensed, trained manicurist. Improper tools or techniques will give a less than desirable result with Shellac.
Are the UV rays from the lamp dangerous? I began researching this back in February. Standard use of the product (every 2 – 3 weeks) is minimal, but there is no real data. Use sunscreen if concerned. (I recommend Neutrogena pure & free baby, spf 60+ or Renee Rouleau Daily Protection SPF 30). Wash off or wear out after service. Sunscreen for your hands is a good thing anyway.
Can you take Shellac off at home?
You can. It requires the use of 100% acetone. Removal at home can be done; proper removal is only 10 minutes overall. However, removal at the salon very minimally increases the time and may be less of an inconvenience for you.
Wait, what is wrong with artificial nails? On the whole, nothing. But as a manicurist and proponent of natural and organics, there is nothing is more exciting for me than seeing natural nails on a client.
While I love the creativity made possible through gel nails or liquid & powder, I think artificial nails are often used to mask a nail problem (peeling, splitting, flexible) when a focused regiment can improve the condition.
As a former skincare formulator, the most rewarding part of my job is identifying clients' troublespots, and working out a program to bring the hands, feet and nails to the point of perfection. Knowing Shellac can withstand even the rigors of salon life, the focus for the everyday woman can be more on care and maintenance of skin and nails - leaving perfect polish in the hands of Shellac.

ELY, Minn. (AP) -- A new trail center is now open at Bear Head Lake State Park near Ely.
Bear Head Lake State Park was voted America's Favorite Park in 2010 in an online contest sponsored by Coca-Cola. The $100,000 prize provided seed money for additional state and federal funding.
Courtland Nelson of the Parks and Trails Division and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says the new center represents a commitment to sustainable building and operating practices. The energy-efficient building is made from sustainable forest products with high-efficiency windows and a heat recovery system. The surrounding landscaping includes native plantings for erosion control and storm water management, designed to complement the natural setting of the park.
The trail center will be open year-round to provide a warming shelter for winter users.

Wow - no that was a beating. Week one was possibly the worst week I've ever had predicting NFL games. Whether it was underestimating the effect of new head coaches, Jim Harbaugh and Hue Jackson, or putting too much value on home field advantage (Kansas City, Cincinnati, Tampa Bay and Denver), I was absolutely off. Of course, in today's NFL, week one is always a crapshoot. Hopefully, we'll do a little better this week.
Picks appear in bold.
Chicago at New Orleans (-6.5)
Call me stubborn, but even after an impressive win over the Falcons, I'm still not sold on the Bears. In this game, I just can't believe they'll be able to score enough to keep up with the Saints. Even without Marques Colston, Drew Brees has a big day.
Kansas City at Detroit (-7.5)
If the Chiefs thought they had a hard time contending with the Bills passing game, wait until they get a load of Matt Stafford, Calvin Johnson, and Brandon Pettigrew. Kansas City relies on their running game, and from what I saw of the Lions' run defense last week, I have a hard time believing that they'll be able to do so against Detroit.
Jacksonville at New York Jets (-8.5)
Ummm, I'm really not comfortable giving up all of these points in the first three games, but I can't see the Jags doing anything effectively against the Jets, whether on offense or defense. Also, I don't think Rex Ryan was too happy with some of the things he saw in the Dallas game, so I think New York will come out plenty motivated.
Oakland at Buffalo (-3)
The Bills took Kansas City completely out of their game when they jumped out to a big lead and didn't allow them to simply line up and pound the football. I think they'll be able to do something similar against the Raiders. Also, you can never go wrong going against a west coast team travleing all the way across the country to play a game at a time they would normally be sleeping.
Arizona at Washington (-3)
You can simply apply the same rule from above to this game. I think these two teams are evenly matched, but I like the Redskins because they're at home and have the better defense. However, I have the right to claim insanity for not taking the "Rex Grossman factor" into account. You know, his inate ability to single-handedly destroy a team and its chances of winning a game.
Baltimore (-5.5) at Tennessee
I keep hearing everyone talking about the Ravens having a letdown because of the emotion and effort used last week against Pittsburgh. Two things: 1) they're an experienced enough team to where that doesn't affect them as much, 2) even if they did have a subpar game, they can still beat the Titans by double digits.
Seattle at Pittsburgh (-14)
This one's pretty simple: the Steelers do not like to be embarrased. They were terrible against the Ravens and I see them coming back against an undermanned Seahawks' team in a big way.
Green Bay (-10) at Carolina
As impressive as Cam Newton looked last week, Dom Capers' defense will make him look impressively bad. In addition to facing a more potent pass rush, he won't have the open receivers he had last week. The Panthers will try to run, but won't be able to when they're down by 20 at half.
Tampa Bay (+3) at Minnesota
From the movement of the line this week, I can't believe that more people haven't jumped on this one. Unfortunately, Donovan McNabb's performance proves what I've been saying for a year - he's well past his prime and declining quick. On the other hand, LeGarrette Blount will have a big day when the Bucs recommit themselves to the run.
Cleveland (-1.5) at Indianapolis
I saw how bad the Colts' run defense was first-hand last week. I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns threw the ball less than 15 times on Sunday. If you have Peyton Hillis in your fantasy league, start him, sit back, and watch the points pile up.
Dallas (-3) at San Francisco
Let's put it this way, if the Cowboys can't beat the 49ers by more than three points, even if it is on the road, they have a lot more problems than I think they did. This one shouldn't be close at any time after the first quarter.
Houston (-3) at Miami
I've really struggled with this one all week. I liked what I saw from Chad Henne last week against the Pats. He looked confident and very in control of the offense. In addition, that unblemished record against Miami has to end sometime for the Texans, right? In the end, though, I like the Texans because they have an extra day of rest and have a better all around offense than New England, which ran roughshod all over the Dolphins.
San Diego (+7.5) at New England
When I saw this line, I had to fire on the Chargers. I don't think they'll win, but if the Patriots gave up 24 points and 488 yards to the Dolphins, I can only imagine how much they'll surrender to Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Antonion Gates and company.
Cincinnati (+4) at Denver
I just have no confidence in the Broncos and Kyle Orton right now. The Bengals have a pretty good defense and a good running back, Cedric Benson, for their young quarterback to rely on. Right now, Denver's defense is garbage and Orton isn't a good enough quarterback to carry his team to a win.
Philadelphia (-2.5) at Atlanta
Both of these teams, which had huge expectations heaped on them before the season, looked decent to downright terrible in week one. In this one, I think the Eagles have a huge advantage in the matchup between their wideouts and the Falcons' secondary. Also, don't think for a second that Mike Vick wouldn't like to come back to Atlanta and beat up on the home team.
St. Louis at New York Giants (-6)
Even if they were fully healthy, I wouldn't have given the Rams much of a chance in this game, but with a finger injury to Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson doubtful to play because of a bad quad, their chances went from slim to none.

Phase One of Biloxi's Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art Opens to PublicBy Lawayne Childrey | Published 08 Nov 2010 10:03am |
A mad potter's collection, a world renowned architect, and a coastal Mississippi town are forever entwined below the century old oaks of The Ohr-OKeeefe Museum of Art. MPB's Patty Davis reports, Mississippi's newest tourist attraction is a reflection of the state's past, present and future.
Back in the 1880's, Biloxi potter George Ohr made everyday items like water jugs, flower pots and kitchenware. But after a fire destroyed his studio in 1894, it was different, and not very popular. Many years later Jeanne Nathan, a young arts reporter, stopped into an auction house in New Orleans.
Nathan: And there were these weird little crumpled ceramic things. I said Morton, what are these things? He said,"Oh, that's that mad potter from Biloxi, you want 'em? You can have 'em all for $200".. there were thirty of em.
Nathan didn't' buy any Ohr pieces that day, but now, years later, she's sitting at the Ohr-Okeefe Museum with Jerry
O'keefe, who started the fundraising for the Ohr Museum project.
O'Keefe: I am happy to be associated with it.
It's Nathan, O'Keefe says, who thought of combining Ohr's unique pottery style with the the bold architectural style of Frank Gehry. Gehry designed five buildings that make up the Museum property.
Gehry: I am delighted with what they've built so far and ... I mean they may like it now, but it's gonna get better.
The Ohr Gallery Pods, and the Ceramic Center are nearing completion, but visitors can shop in the welcome center, and see the works of Ohr and others in the exhibition gallery and the African American gallery. Each building is totally different, combining color, texture and emotion, on the outside, with clean white walls inside ensuring that the art remains the focus..

Scheduled for its Canadian debut today, Blackberry has said the Z10 ( BBZ10 ) smartphone has so far exceeded sales expectation. Since its release in the United Kingdom, the new Blackberry 10 handset has gained much more popularity than its makers initially anticipated and the device has not had time to sit on store shelves in the UK.
Despite not releasing any figures on its recent sales success in the UK, Stephen Bates, BlackBerry's UK MD said: "The response we've seen exceeded all of our launch partners' expectations. Customers are choosing to buy the BlackBerry Z10 in large numbers," said Bates. "In fact some of our partners have told us that they sold out over the weekend in some of their key retail locations. "The partners' call centres are also flooded with calls, as people phone to ask for more information about the device, and also where and how to buy it."
Canadian's eagerly await today's release of its home grown product freshly gracing their northern shores. Will the Z10 be a hometown sensation, as it currently is in the UK? The new Blackberry will also be unveiled in several European countries sometime this week. Countries including Spain, France, Germany, and others will get a chance to put their hands on the UK sensation.
Here I Go
Well done Blackberry 10, but isn't it too early to count your eggs? The UK success of the new Blackberry Z10 could be the beginning of a wonderful come back story, I can picture the headline in the papers "Blackberry Fights Back and Reclaim Top Spot" but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Success cannot be quantified without numbers, despite its "UK Success" there hasn't been any numbers released by the smartphone makers to confirm this alleged achievement, furthermore, it has not even been a week since the unveiling, so I suggest we wait for the rest of the word to have access to the new device, then we talk success.

We have the newest most advanced way of producing Rubber Modified Asphalt
that everyone can afford. The difference is GTR + TOR.
Asphalt is a product that is used in many everyday
applications (highways, streets, roads, driveways, parking lots, etc.)
but most people do not think about it until there is a problem with it
such as cracks, potholes, raveling, etc.
There are a number of inherent problems (as there are with most
materials - since they are not perfect) with asphalt as a construction
material. Asphalt wears out, cracks, ages, dries out, potholes, etc. It
will deteriorate even quicker than normal if sound engineering and
construction practices are not followed. If you try to make it softer so
that it won't crack, it is more susceptible to rutting. If you make it
harder to resist rutting it is more susceptible to cracking. Thus
all kinds of modifiers, designs, additives, etc. have come into play to
give asphalt the ability to resist oxidation, aging, raveling, rutting,
stripping, cracking, etc. - driving the cost up.
Over the last 40 years, the quality of what we generically call asphalt
has declined to the point that we now have to add modifiers to get it to
work satisfactorily. This is due to several factors - the increased use
of Processing Oils in the tire industry to disperse carbon black and
other fillers, advancing refinery technology allowing a greater amount
of lighter ends to be extracted from the bottom of the barrel of crude
thus reducing the quality of liquid asphalt, and a dramatic increase in
the number of automobiles and trucks on the road and miles driven.
One of the modifiers used to enhance the performance of
liquid asphalt is crumb rubber (ground - up recycled tires). Rubber-modified
asphalt dramatically out-performs conventional asphalt and lasts
significantly longer. These superior results have been achieved while using
less material than is required with conventional asphalt. Rubber-modified
asphalt will reduce reflective cracking and rutting, improve skid
resistance, reduce maintenance costs, increase pavement life, is more
resistant to weathering/aging, and reduces road noise. IN addition to
increasing the performance of asphalt, crumb rubber modification has the
side benefit of reducing the environmental hazard that old tires present.
Crumb rubber was first added to asphalt over 20 years ago, but there have
been and continue to be problems associated with the process and end
One method used to modify asphalt with crumb rubber is the so-called "wet"
or "Arizona Method". The equipment required for this process is very
expensive, and there are significant operational constraints and
limitations. The process requires cooking the liquid asphalt and crumb
rubber at high temperatures (375 to 400 deg. F) for almost an hour. The
processing Oils start to migrate out of the GTR (Ground Tire Rubber) into
the asphalt in about 10 to 15 minutes. If cooking (or digestion) continues
from 15 to 45 minutes the low molecular weight from the asphalt, and to
increase the tackiness of the mix. This mix has to be cooled to prevent it
from sticking to the rolling equipment - costing valuable production time.
Vestenamer® polyoctenamer reacts chemically with both the
crumb rubber and the asphalt to produce a uniform, low-track, rubber-like
composite. This chemical bond is due to the double-bond structure of the
Vestenamer® product, which permits cross-linking of the sulfur associated
with the asphaltenes and maltenes in the asphalt, as well as with the sulfur
at the surface of the GTR to create a macropolymer network. Vestenamer®
polyoctenamer also chemically bonds to the aggregate surface, which reduces
In traditional methods - the process of "digestion",
the polymer structure is totally destroyed by high-shear, high-temperature
tearing of the polymer bonds. This dissociates the carbon black from the
rubber oligomers. Then there is a sediment problem in the storage tank to
deal with.
In our process, we are just "extracting"
out the asphalt soluble materials from the GTR, namely, the rubber
processing oils and the low molecular weight oligomers. this lwaves an
exoskeleton of high molecular weight rubber polymers and carbon black, which
swell as the hot asphalt fills in the spaces or voids left in the
crumb rubber after the solutes are extracted. This swelling of the GTR
changes it's density. The resultant swelled GRT exoskeleton's density makes
it more resistant to settling out ot suspension, and more importantly makes
it more easily redispersed with agitation or recirculating pumps.
None of the dispersion issues are of any importance if the dry process is
used since nothing has a chance to settle out of the hot mix asphalt. The
Vestenamer® quickly dissolves in the grinding of the
aggregate in the presence of the hot asphalt and reacts with the low
molecular weight soluble rubber oligomers that dissolve into the asphalt.
This reaction and the swelling of the GTR takes about 30 minutes. So, by the
time the hot mix is produced, to the time it is moved to the silo, then to
the truck, then to the jobsite, then to the paver, and finally onto the road
surface, it takes at least 30 to 60 minutes until the roller compacts it and
cross-links it all together.
Other advantages of using Vestenamer®:
Rubber oligomers start to come out and add a considerable amount of tack
to the asphalt. The the asphalt concrete becomes difficult to roll due to
continual pick up on the rollers. These pick up spots on the surface of the
mat are areas where freeze/thaw cycling causes considerable damage. Also,
this digestion process will reduce the viscosity of the material below
acceptable limits. Asphalt modified with this method must be used within 24
hours of production or it becomes unusable. This method also has the
constraint of very limited production capacity.
In the early 1990's the United States Congress passed a bill requiring
States to utilize crumb rubber in 25% of their Federal road projects or face
the possibility of losing Federal funding. As a result of this legislation,
the states began testing crumb rubber in asphalt. Most of the tests were
failures because of lack of experience and knowledge on how to handle the
materials. Until, recently, the only successful method for modifying asphalt
with crumb rubber has been the "wet" method.
What has been needed is a process that would provide all of the benefits of
a rubber modified pavement without the significant costs and handling
problems and limitations of existing methods.
We now have the process to produce superior
rubberized asphalt at a fraction of the "wet" method, and eliminates the
production, handling, and application problems of other procedures.
With the use of Vestenamer® asphalt modifier and GTR, you
can have a superior asphalt rubber road surface at a lower cost per mile.
Using our process can modify your Base AC Binder to a higher performance
grade Binder. For example, a Pg-64-22 can go up to Pg-70-22, 76-22 or

Bayou Chicken Recipe
When I came across this recipe many years ago, I knew I had a new-found family favorite on my hands. The chicken always turns out moist and tender.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) black-eyed peas, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter and oil on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onion until onion is crisp-tender, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the peas, garlic salt and herbes de Provence. Transfer to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- Arrange chicken over pea mixture. Pour wine over chicken; sprinkle with tomato. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until chicken juices run clear. Yield: 6 servings.
Editor's Note: Look for herbes de Provence in the spice aisle.

Would you have any idea where Nancy Mallett Burton and Francis M Burton are buried in Tennessee? Nancy & Francis are my 3rd great granparents. Their daughter Lucy 'lucinda' who married Duff Lawson is buried in Greenville SC and Duff Lawson moved the kids to Greensboro NC and remarried after Lucy died. He is buried in Greensboro with a few other Lawsons.

Hello Mr. Porter, I was very curious when I saw your post for Luke Hamm Greer.
I don't recall ever seeing Larkin in his name but I guess stranger things have happened. Luke Hamm Greer, son of John & Oma greer was my Grandfather. Besides their daughter Nola, they also had a son, Ivan Otto Walker Greer, my Father. Luke had Five brothers, Art, Tom, Ben, Glenn(Big Babe), Lester and two sisters, Lil, Vannie. I can remember Loretta, my Grandmother, having a brother, Claude Roark and a sister Rosa Roark. She also had a very close relative that she loving called her sister, Vesta Mahala.
I spent all my summers on Greer mountian with my Grandparents as they were taking care of John & Oma, my Great Grandparents. If I am not careful, I will tell my age but I can remember John & Oma as I sat and played cards with them in the evenings.
Just wanted to give you a little info.

Good Afternoon, thank you for your kind note. A photo of Edna's marker has been uploaded. It is James that I could not locate a marker for. In that cemetery, there are many unmarked, or fieldstone marked graves. Regrettably, I do not recall whether there was an unmarked grave next to Edna. However, there were no fieldstone markers next to Edna, as the photograph sequence did not have one. -- Ken

Police say a Central Michigan University student has died after falling four stories at an entertainment complex.
The deadly accident happened early this morning at "The B.O.B" in Grand Rapids.
The 21 year old student, Zachary Bunting went into an open stairwell around two a.m. and tried to slide down a railing.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Bunting was a member of the CMU club hockey team.
He lived with four of his teammates and spent nearly every waking hour with them, becoming almost brothers.

geoblocked here too
Hi coadyj could you please have a quick look at this, http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=8280 did a reinstall on my pi, now i get geoblocked http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=8280
geoblocked here too
Looks like Hulu have changed there site, RD probably needs a bit of time to update.
i use hotspotshield to bypass silly geoblocked
Hotspot shield is a good bit of s/w, I use it for when I need something from the BAY
Does hotspot shield really work or I better getting a paid VPN.
Its always worked for me, there is nothing stopping you from trying hotspot then if it does not work for you go the paid VPN
Hotspotshield was playing up a lot on hulu last nite as i watched 'fight factory'(its on hulu website a day before xbmc). It stuttered a few times but was particularly bad during adverts it almost couldnt get through the adverts to the next segment. Whereas last week there was no problem so yeah id say they could have changed something recently.
Where in Hotspot can you select a country (UK) or is that only in the elite version
IMHO, Hotspot shield is a load of crap, you can't use it on the AppleTV or any other device that is not Windows. For Hulu it only give you limited access to regular hulu and not hulu +. If you want a multi country solution go for something like PureVPN.

In the context of this afternoon's post on Caps/Rangers post-lockout pugilism, I was left feeling a bit nostalgic for the good ol' days of this rivalry. So I reached out (on Twitter) to friend-of-the-blog Alan May and asked him if he had any favorite fights against the Blueshirts. His response:
Naturally, that set my curiosity afire, and here's the first of those two May vs. King bouts, via Hockeyfights.com, from October 13, 1989 (the other is apparently not on YouTube insofar as I can tell, but of note, May received an instigator on that fight and fought Tie Domi later in the same game):
As for the second part of the tweet, after defeating the Devils in six games in the 1990 Patrick Division Semifinals, the Caps advanced to face the Rangers in the Division Finals. New York beat the Caps 7-3 on home ice in the first game (Bernie Nicholls with the hat trick), but Dale Hunter fought Normand Rochefort 4:19 into Game 2, May fought Troy Mallette five minutes later (Mallette apparently didn't get a fighting major) and the Caps rolled to a 6-3 victory behind a hat trick from... John Druce, of course.
The Caps finished off the Rangers in five games, outscoring New York 19-8 over the final four games thanks to a couple of momentum shifting fights early in Game 2. Yep, the good ol' days.

I have always been a big fan of John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach at UCLA. John talks about success. Essentially the way he defines success is very similar to the way I would define it. It is doing the best you can with what you have been given. Sometimes there are people who are in given coaching situations where maybe they don't have much in the way of facilities or a large amount of players to come out for a sport.And maybe they have losing season after losing season but they may have done a great job because they did the best job with what they had. There are many families who, financially or for whatever reason struggle in many ways. But if you have done all you can with what you have been given I feel that you are successful. That is not the way our culture normally measures success but that is the way I would look at it.
Rest in peace, Coach.

Oadby Society of Artists October Workshop
Artist Tas Severis led the October 2010 workshop, on painting with acrylics using a palette knife.
The technique was new to most of us and we couldn't wait to get started, building up our creations with successive applications of pure colour, as Tas had shown us.
Some of us cheated a little, mixing colour before applying it, and some people found their subject matter a bit too complex for the technique. However, although ours were not quite as colourful as Tas's demonstration, everyone had something to discuss in the critique at the end of the day.

Air rifle vandal attacks Abingdon bus shelters
10:00am Thursday 3rd July 2014 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
A GUN-TOTING vandal shot the glass out of 10 Abingdon bus shelters, in drive-by shootings causing thousands of pounds in damage.
The wave of smashed bus stops, which began last Tuesday, has already cost Abingdon Town Council £5,250 to clear up.
But it is only a matter of time before attacker injures someone, the council has warned.
Head of service Steve Rich said: "It is all done under cover of darkness but we believe they are driving past and firing pellets with an air rifle.
"It costs us to replace the glass, and it takes up our officers' time to clear it up, but the real problem is that sooner or later someone will make a mistake, someone will be in that shelter and they will get hit."
The culprits have so far smashed 21 panes of glass in bus shelters, and after one replacement set was smashed, the council has given up replacing them.
Mr Rich said the council wanted to use the Oxford Mail to appeal for witnesses. He said: "We don't know who is doing this, it is always during the evening after our officers have gone home.
"What can we do?"
He said none of the attacks had been caught on CCTV.
The shelters targeted so far are in Wootton Road, Dunmore Road, the Peachcroft estate, Radley Road, Oxford Road and Trendell Place.
Abingdon mayor Angela Lawrence said the attacks were a "huge waste of public money". She added: "It's just sheer vandalism for a few seconds of misguided pleasure which is costing the council thousands of pounds.
"As fast as we replace the glass they will be out shooting at it again.
"It's not what you expect in peaceful Abingdon-on-Thames."
She said all town councillors had been briefed to look out for any suspicious behaviour in their own area.
She asked readers: "If you see anybody walking around with anything that looks like it might be causing the damage let us or the police know."
To the criminals responsible she said: "Would you rather the town council spent thousands having to replace this glass or have money spent to provide services which you could benefit from?"
Town councillor Mike Badcock said: "I think this is someone showing off in front of their mates, and once one has done it, they have all got to.
"This is £5,000 that could have been used to fund some old folks' Christmas party."
Anyone who has information about the attacks can call the police non-emergency number 101.

If an air rifle pellet can break the glass, then it's obviously not tough enough for the job. Given that people waiting for a bus will lean against it, etc, then it could also easily break as well.

So when / if caught will the vandals be paying the cost of clean up and replacement? I suspect they'll be given something they'll laugh about for a long time, no wonder this happens really.

I had so many and continuous and never ending muscle cramps in every part of my body. I had tried so many different supplements that were recomended like one of them was potasium which really got me sick. Then just by chance I was listening to a doctor on TV who said most people and even the medical community did not know the Co Q10 will get rid of all muscle cramps and spasims because the shortage of Co Q10 in the heart causes muscles cramps and spasims. Well it has been about 2 weeks and I can walk and sleep and stretch and live a normal life once again by taking 2 a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Even my hands and fingers were cramping and now no more muscle cramps and spasims.
This high quality Co-Q10 is bio-available and more absorbable

Jarrow has done it again with this more efficiently absorbed form of CoQ10. I've been taking CoQ10 for a many years, and have noted a significant improvement in skin tone & texture, energy levels and overall wellbeing since switching to Q-absorb. (Note that I also increased dosage...) Jarrow's high standards of production and competitive pricing (aided by iHerb) make it a first-choice for CoQ10.
