Alf and Myra Vass, owners of Wheldrake Pine and Cane, celebrate 60th wedding anniversary
Updated 9:58am Saturday 29th March 2014 in News By Kate Liptrot
A COUPLE well known for running shops in York are marking their diamond wedding anniversary.
Alf Vass, 83, most recently of Wheldrake Pine and Cane and former owner of Timba, Pinewood and Woodcarvers city centre shops, was often helped at work by his wife Myra, 80.
The couple will be joined by friends and family this weekend for a celebration of their 60th wedding anniversary at Amelia House Care Home in Rawcliffe.
Explaining the secret to their lengthy marriage, Mr Vass said: "I'm extroverted and my wife is introverted, it's a good match.
"She has always supported me in everything.
"We have fitted together well and I can honestly say we have never had a real argument in our life."
Hours after meeting his wife in 1951, when Mr Vass was asked to show her around RAF Church Fenton while on national service, Mr Vass was convinced has met the woman he was going to marry.
After dancing with her later that day, he remembers: "I went back to the mess that night and I told my friend 'I have just met my future wife'. I don't know why I said it but I just felt it."
The couple tied the knot on April 3, 1954, at Wistow Church, later honeymooning in Bridlington. They went on to have three children Christopher, 57, Nicholas, 53, and Andrew, 52, and now have 11 grandchildren.
Mrs Vass worked in the Shambles hairdressers Bob Cairns, and the couple opened a salon in Wistow before Mr Vass took a job in Teeside and then Glasgow.
After returning and setting up their three shops in York, they decided to consolidate in one shop in Wheldrake in 1981.
Recently Mrs Vass went to live in Amelia House due to ill health.
Mr Vass said: "I'm surprised we have got to 60 years of marriage, especially as my wife's health has not alway been good.
"The time has gone so quickly, I don't know where it's gone quite frankly. It seems like yesterday I went through those gates of the air force."

Everyone dreams of wearing a clear, acne-free skin. But daydreaming won't give you that clear and healthy skin you have been dreaming of. Many people are aware of the fact that getting a clear, smooth, and healthy skin is easier said than done. Except of course for a few lucky people who were born with the genes for beautiful skin.
But don't think that it is impossible for you to wear a clear, acne-free and healthy skin. It may take some time but it sure is achievable. Don't worry too much as worrying can only worsen your acne. If you want clear skin, don't sulk. Instead, pour your energy into making sure that your skin is well-cared for every day.
Effective Natural Acne Remedies
There are tons of anti-acne products sold in the market. If you want to go the natural route in treating your acne problems, there are also plenty of natural or homemade remedies that can effectively get rid of acne and acne scars. We have listed some of the most popular homemade remedies for acne here.
Tomatoes and Tomato Pulp for Acne
Tomatoes are actually a great remedy for acne. Tomatoes contain mild acids which dry up acne. Aside from these acids, tomatoes also contain potent antioxidants such as vitamins A and C. These antioxidants help repair skin damage and aid in the skin's cell renewal which helps in the removal of acne scars while at the same time protecting the skin from sustaining further free-radical damage. Antioxidants also promote good health. They are known to boost the immune system and may even help reduce your risk for various health problems including cancer
Treating acne with the use of tomatoes is simple. Just slice open a tomato and place it on the problematic areas of your skin. You can also make a tomato facial mask. Simply mash up a tomato until you have a pulp-like consistency and apply it to your face just like you would a regular facial mask. Do the tomato treatment regularly and you'll soon wake up to a to a skin that is clear and acne-free.
Honey and Cinnamon for Acne
Honey is another excellent natural acne remedy. Honey has natural antibacterial properties and this is what makes it an excellent acne cure. Propionibacterium acnes (the acne-causing bacteria) naturally live on the skin. They normally do not cause problem until they have exceeded their normal number. The anti-bacterial properties of honey will kill and eliminate the acne-causing bacteria, bringing them down to a manageable level. Cinnamon has anti-clotting and anti-inflammatory properties which help preventing acne from getting inflamed and worsening. The two makes a powerful duo in combatting acne.
Potato as an Acne Treatment
Your love for potato chips and French fries may worsen your acne problem. But potatoes when applies on the skin can actually help treat acne and acne scars. A single potato can provide 70% of Vitamin C which is a potent antioxidant, as well as Vitamin B. Vitamin C helps boost production and collagen. It also prevents the skin from getting damaged by the sun's UV rays, stress and other environmental factors such as pollution and smoke. It also helps improve the process of skin repair. Vitamin B promotes healthy DNA production, and helps improve skin cell regeneration. Shred a raw potato and apply it on your skin to remedy acne problems and address hyper-pigmentation and even prevent wrinkles.
Lemon Juice
Love cooling down with a glass of lemon juice? Now that the weather is colder, you may not be serving yourself lemon juice but if you have acne, you would want to have lemons in your kitchen. Did you know that lemon juice can help treat your acne problem? Lemon juice is highly acidic and will dry out pimples or acne. Its high acidity levels also kill off the acne-causing bacteria. It has been known that lemons give the skin a calming effect. Lemon is also loaded with Vitamin C and as mentioned earlier, this vitamin is a potent antioxidant meaning it protects the skin from free-radical damage and also helps in the repair of free-radical damage that the skin has sustained. Simply squeeze out the juice out of a lemon and use a cotton ball to apply the juice on problematic areas.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Love using apple cider vinegar in your salad dressings? Well, you can use it as well to remedy your acne issues. Apple cider vinegar helps regulate the pH balance of your skin and aid in detoxing the skin. Mild acids such as lactic and malic acids are found in apple cider vinegar which helps in softening and exfoliating the skin. It can also be used as a toner. To use as an acne remedy, simply dilute the apple cider vinegar in water, then apply it on problematic areas.
Garlic is a staple spice in most kitchens as many of us love the aroma it adds to our dishes. In movies, garlic is popularly used against vampires. But did you know that in reality, garlic is actually an effective acne remedy? Garlic contains allicin, sulfur, zinc, and calcium which all have antibiotic and anti-fungal properties therefore helping in cleansing the skin. How do you use garlic for your acne? Simply crush a few cloves of garlic and put them in water then apply the mixture to the skin.
For the skin to remain healthy, it has to be constantly hydrated. And this is where cucumbers step in. Cucumber is 95% water. It also removes dead skin cells and cleat out the pores. Cucumbers also have moisturizing properties while at the same time they help get rid of excess oil. Simply ground up a cucumber and mix it in water then apply the mixture to your skin.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is another kitchen staple. But it's about time that you also add this oil to your skin care arsenal. Olive oil contains a high amount of Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant. Aside from protecting the skin from damage and helping repair skin damage, Vitamin E is also known for being effective in getting rid of scars. So if your skin breakout left you scars, simply apply olive oil on the affected areas. With regular application, you'll soon see the difference. Olive oil can also help in minimizing signs of skin aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. It is also a powerful skin moisturizer.

FSU baseball loses star Travis to pro baseball
Big blow for Florida State but fantastic for a kid like Travis. He reportedly will sign with the Detroit Tigers for more money than both Boyd and Benincasa did despite being drafted outside the top 10 rounds. When he signed I was not overly excited about Travis due to his size but assistant coach Mike Martin, Jr. was extremely high on him and helped him become one of the best 2B Florida State has ever had. With this signing Florida State will go into next year losing their top four hitters and if Gonzalez eventually signs their entire infield as well.

September 13, 2010
Residents of Fallbrook and the surrounding unincorporated areas in San Diego county can recycle their used passenger and small-truck tires from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25 at Fallbrook High School's Winterhaven parking lot, located at 1050 Winterhaven Road.
Since the state banned the disposal of whole tires at landfills in California in 1993, San Diego County has offered amnesty days and public education for recycling and disposal of tires, funded partially by state grants.
"We've seen how the rubber can meet the road again with recycled tires used in making our County roads," said Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman and Fifth District Supervisor Bill Horn. "This event is a great chance to clean up back yards and help with the environment."
Illegally abandoned tires continue to be a problem on county roadways and throughout the rural areas of the unincorporated area. Tires are an excellent breeding environment for mosquitoes, which are a known vector for West Nile virus, malaria, and encephalitis. In addition, the threat of fire and further illegal dumping is always a critical concern in the region.
Residents may recycle up to nine tires per vehicle if they are reasonably clean and free of excessive dirt or other foreign matter. Inside tire diameter size is limited to 16.5 inches. Tires from business or commercial sources, large truck tires, or tires mounted on rims will not be accepted.
The event is sponsored by the San Diego County Recycling Program and funded by a grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). Support for the event is also provided by Keep Fallbrook Clean and Green and the Fallbrook Union High School District.
For more information, or to make arrangements to recycle larger tires, tires with rims or loads of more than nine tires, call the County Recycling and Household Hazardous Waste hotline at 1-877-R-1-EARTH (1-877-713-2784).

Singapore Sees 26% Growth in Visitors from Middle East in Q1-2010
2010 Signals the Emergence of a "Transformed Singapore" with Opening of Two Integrated Resorts and the Launch of the 'YourSingapore' Brand
May 3, 2010 10:27 by Rasha Reslan
Dubai, 3 May 2010: 2010 is gearing up to be a landmark year for Singapore's tourism sector with the opening of new world-class attractions, coinciding with a gradual rebound in the global economy, which has already led to a 26 percent year-on-year increase in visitors from the Middle East during the first three months of 2010.
Globally Singapore welcomed 2.7 million visitors in Q1-2010, a 20 percent increase compared with the same period last year. Of these, 36,511 travellers arrived from the Middle East, with the highest number of visitors coming from Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabia, according to figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
"With the global economy shifting into recovery gear, 2010 has kicked off on a very optimistic note, with arrivals from the Middle East showing that visitors from the region are continuing to discover Singapore's unique tourism appeal. On the back of such a strong start to the year, the Singapore Tourism Board anticipates a double digit growth in overall visitor numbers for 2010," revealed Jason Ong, Area Director for the Middle East and Africa, STB.
2010 signals the emergence of a "Transformed Singapore", with an ever-growing number of global events and the opening of two multi-billion dollar Integrated Resorts, offering families world-class experiences, from the thrills of South East Asia's first Universal Studios theme park at Resorts World Sentosa to the luxurious shopping, and celebrity-chef dining experiences available at Marina Bay Sands.
Singapore has also undergone a brand evolution from 'Uniquely Singapore' to 'YourSingapore', which encapsulates the island nation's position as a premier destination for personalised travel, offering a fascinating range of attractions which are easily accessible and user-centric, empowering travellers to enjoy their own unique experience of Singapore, www.yoursingapore.com.
"2010 signals the tourism transformation of Singapore, cementing its position as a must-visit destination for families, highly mobile individuals, honeymooners and business visitors. Singapore offers a diverse range of travel experiences, from cosmopolitan city life, high-end indulgences, enchanting beach holidays, world-class dining experiences, luxury shopping, cultural diversity or wildlife encounters – there's something for everyone in Singapore. With all this, and much more on offer, Singapore is the destination to watch out for in 2010," Ong added.
The first phase of Marina Bay Sands launched on April 27, with the opening of 963 hotel rooms, part of the designer shopping mall and convention centre, as well as six celebrity chef restaurants, offering a luxurious experience for all travellers.
The second phase will open on June 23 as part of the property's grand opening celebration, and will see the official launch of the Sands SkyPark™ and the Event Plaza that runs along Marina Bay, with more shops from the world's leading retailers, additional dining options, and exciting nightlife offerings, www.marinabaysands.com.
Resorts World Sentosa has been operating at peak capacity since its soft launch in January, and with the opening of Universal Studios theme park on March 18 the resort's popularity has soared. The park features 24 thrilling rides and attractions, including the world's ONLY Madagascar theme park, www.rwsentosa.com.
The first-ever Youth Olympics Games is taking place between 14-26 of August, a month ahead of Singapore's Formula One night race, the only night race on the F1 race calendar, which runs from the 24-26 September.
STB is forecasting 11.5million to 12.5 million global visitor arrivals in 2010. Last year Singapore received 9.68 million visitors, of which 117,000 were from the Middle East, a 2.7 percent growth over 2008.

There are many reasons why your mind might wander in class or during homework. Some of the most common factors are non-medical and simple, and they can be treated by making small changes in your routine.
6 Non-Medical Causes for a Lack of Concentration
Fatigue from sleep deprivation is probably the most common cause for an inability to concentrate on one topic for very long.
Many studies have shown that students are not getting enough sleep, and sleep deprivation has serious physical, emotional, and cognitive effects.
The first step in attempting to solve your concentration problem is finding a way to get at least eight hours of sleep every night.
This isn't easy to do. Teens typically have busy lives and develop habits that make it difficult to get to sleep early enough.
However, if you have a serious concentration problem, you may need to make some sacrifices to find a solution. Try getting plenty of sleep and see if you get results.
Anxiety is another cause for the inability to concentrate. High school is an exciting time, but it can also be a stressful time. Are you worried about something? If so, you might need to isolate your source of anxiety and confront it head on.
Teens deal with many pressures from their peers, and this social force can become quite damaging in extremes.
Are you dealing with pressure? If so, it may be time to change your life in a serious way to eliminate some of the stressors. Is your schedule too heavy? Are you involved in a toxic friendship?
If you are dealing with peer pressure that might lead you down a dangerous path, it might be time to talk to an adult. Your parents, your guidance counselor, your teacher-find people you trust and let them know you're dealing with anxiety.
- Excitement is related to anxiety, but a little more fun! There are lots of things that come along from time to time that grab our attention and make us daydream. This can be a big problem during the final weeks of a term--but that's the very time we should be paying most attention! Midterms and finals happen to come along at the same time we start to dream about upcoming breaks and vacations. Make the conscious decision to set aside your daydreams until after class.
- One of the biggest distractions for teens is love. Are you having a difficult time concentrating because you just can't get someone out of your head?
If so, you just need to find a way to discipline yourself.
It is sometimes helpful to establish routines in your study habits-by setting up parameters both inside and outside your head.
Outwardly, you can establish a physical special study space and study time. Inwardly, you can set rules about thoughts that are and are not permissible during study time.
Diet is another potential problem when it comes to concentration. Your body is just like a machine in some ways. Just like an automobile, a body needs clean fuel to keep it running well.
Different people are affected in different ways from foods and chemicals-and sometimes those effects can be unexpected.
For example, it may surprise you to know that some studies have linked low-fat diet with symptoms of depression! And depression can affect your concentration.
Caffeine is another potential trouble-maker when it comes to diet and moods. Caffeine consumption can cause insomnia, headaches, dizziness, and nervousness. These symptoms are sure to affect your concentration.
Boredom is another big culprit when it comes to staying focused on your studies. Boredom stems from doing something that lacks meaning and motivation. What can you do?
Every time you prepare to enter a study environment, take a moment for a reality check. What do you need to accomplish? Why? Concentrate on a goal for the next hour and think of a way to reward yourself for reaching that goal.

Alabama is certainly in the news lately. First we have the SI cover story regarding our dear state and the horrific events of April 27th. Now we have a huge piece on the arguably the most overzealous Tide fan in America: alleged tree-poisoner Harvey Udyke.
Frankly, the more I read about this guy, the scarier he appears. I am amazed he was able to reproduce and convince a woman to name his children Crimson Tyde and Bear Bryant. If you are interested in reading more about him, hit em up here: Link to full article.

Politician Fights Back After 'Godless' Ad
A mini politics and religion war continues in North Carolina after Sen. Elizabeth Dole's "Godless" ad about her challenger.
Democratic opponent Kay Hagan sued Dole and released her own television ad after Dole's campaign aired an earlier ad.
Hagan says in the ad that the campaign is about fixing the economy, "not bearing false witness against fellow Christians."
"Elizabeth Dole's attacks on my Christian faith are offensive," she says in the ad. "She even faked my voice in her TV ad to make you think I don't believe in God. Well, I believe in God. I taught Sunday School. My faith guides my life, and Sen. Dole knows it."
Dole's earlier ad said Hagan took "Godless money."
"A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan," the the first 30-second ad says. "Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money. What did Kay Hagan promise in return?"
The ad ends with an unknown woman's voice calling out, "There is no God."
Update: Here's the latest ad from Dole.
Sen. Dole should be quite ashamed of herself...and there is not religious test for high office anyway, despite what Dole is not so tacitly suggesting.
This is what I mean! Once again, this is why it becomes so tough to reach the lost! This election is revealing the heart of everyone! Shame on her! She owes this woman an ad with an apology in it! May God be with them both!
Call it what it is! "Godless" means just that, "Less God or without God." Why should Hagin be affended, PAC is a "Godless" orgnaization, they make no claim to being a Christian organization. If she accepted the money from this organization for her campaign and they make no claim to being a Christian organization, operating by Christian principles, then they are what they are, a "Godless." If Hagan thinks this will put her in bad light with Christian voters, don't accept the money! Otherwise, stand by your decision and acknowledge it!
I have not been following this race since I don't live in this state. Kay Hagan says attacks on her religious faith are "false," but the ad says she took money from an organization that calls itself "Godless Americans PAC." This article leads people to believe that Elisabeth Dole's advertising only questioned Hagan's devotion to her religious faith, when actually it questions Hagan's faith in light of the people she is taking money from. Whether Dole is right or wrong depends on whether Hagan took this PAC's money or not. Well, did she? I'm a little surprised Christianity Today didn't ask this former Sunday School teacher that question.
The answer is no, she didn't take money from the PAC, thus
the lawsuit. This story has been covered elsewhere; I think she
had a fundraiser at the home of some guy that had an affiliation,
but the Godless Americans weren't there. Surprise: No
grand atheist plot, just Christian-on-Christian slander.
My, My, My. Politics really brings out the worst in us,
don't they!!!! I have a feeling that God, no doubt, hates
politics. How He must "cringe" with all the mud slinging, unGodly
tatics, and downright lies that are being used these days......
Dole was one of my heroes and a real hope for women in the highest level of political leadership and these ads (as well as some of the McCain-Palin negative ads)once again show me not to put faith in the people of God but in God only.It is a shame that the "win at all costs" philosophy is being professed by believers.
I would never vote for any Democrat as long as abortion remains part of their party platform. Democrats are on the attack against Evangelical/conservative Christianity. The fact that they think a woman has a right to murder her unborn child is proof enough that they are "godless." If Kay Hagan is not godless, maybe she should come out as a pro-life candidate??? Maybe if Kay Hagan is not godless, she should stand against homosexual marriage???
If shoe fits, wear it. Godless is godless!
Lord have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.
Charlie J. Ray

The Eagles have spoken with 6 pass rushers at the Senior Bowl practices
The Eagles, just like every other NFL team, are going to be speaking with hundreds of prospects between now and the draft in April. However, so far here at the Senior Bowl practices, I've seen the Eagles speak with eight prospects after practices. Six of them were pass rushers, and they all spoke with Player Personnel Executive, Phil Savage.

UFC on Fox 8 gets another feature fight in Julie Kedzie vs. Germaine de Randamie. Kedzie is one of WMMA's longtime veterans, which is hard to believe considering she's only 32. With an 8 year, 27 fight career under her belt she's among the most experienced fighters in all of women's MMA. Carrying a third degree blackbelt in Taekwondo, Kedzie has a penchant for an open, brawling style of fight. Longtime fans will remember her recent loss to Miesha Tate as one of the great fights of 2012. Lately, she's had an increased role as a broadcast commentator (which she's excellent at) working primarily with Invicta, so hopefully that hasn't been too much of a distraction from her training.
Opposite her, Germaine de Randamie, is a relative unknown to MMA fans. And while her MMA resume is paper thin, she carries with her a wealth of Kickboxing and Muay Thai experience, with mulitple world titles and the record for most consecutive victories (no draws) in women's kickboxing history at 37. She's coming off a win over Hiroko Yamanaka at Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman and is making her return to bantamweight after a two fight stint at featherweight.
This fight has all the makings of a standup war. And in an event that is quickly filling up with exciting, competitive fights, stands out as an early candidate for fight of the night.
UFC on Fox 8 goes down in Seattle on July 27. Here's what the card looks like so far:
Jake Ellenberger vs. Rory MacDonald
Robbie Lawler vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Mac Danzig vs. Melvin Guillard
Danny Castillo vs. Bobby Green
Julie Kedzie vs. Germaine de Randamie

- WiFi didn't work - Hotel needs renovation - Parking garage too far away (5-10 min walk) - some beds outdated - bathroom fungi
Location Wifi
Size room (too small) Price (bit expensive)
Stayed here twice. The staff is totally awesome from the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant staff. Also, best location in D.C. and best value for your money.
Some wear and tear to the aged hotel but can seriously be overlooked by the positives.
Reasonably priced for dc. Close to all mall and most dc events within walking distance. Old fashioned but not without charm. We enjoyed our stay and would return.
It was walking distance to the mall and to the metro, saving the cost of cab-hopping. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fine. In general, the staff was friendly and accommodating.
Although the hotel was historic, it needed a general overhaul (perhaps restore it to its original turn of the century beauty??) and there was a very strong greasy odor near the elevators and an interesting mustiness in the lobby. Also, Harriet's Cafe was disappointing. Although the breakfast tasted good, the appearance was a turnoff and we tried other places for the rest of the stay.
The rooms were quiet and clean.
Mattress was old and saggy. The Carpet and wall paper need updating. The place with a little bit more care could be a gem in the city. No attention to details like the elevator numbers. Not the freindliest staff.
I like the location close to white house and other historical places!
Considering hotel is so old it was a great stay. Everything was nearby.
Thanks to Gail (Gayle?) for treating us like human beings & made a bad situation comfortable.
Wi-Fi in the evenings very poor.
Friendly staff, good price, excellent location, clean room, comfortable beds
The AC temperature could not be influenced, there was only a mechanical valve to shut off the airflow.
Fantastic location Excellent staff
No shower gel/shampoo in room
Location is good
Wifi was not good
Got a triple room for a low cost (actually had 4 beds which was a plus in case of an extra guest) plus really close to everything
Slow wifi barely enough to web browse nevermind stream video (the Ping was at some points 500 and a good or at least average pong would be around 1-30)
This hotel was located in the most perfect spot in the city. I was so happy with my choice of hotel. I was there for a week and I wakes everywhere. The hotel was clean, the room was made each day and re Resturant down stairs was well priced and the food and portion sizes was definitely value for money. I will recommend this hotel to everyone and is definitely return.
location, food, clean
old, needs new carpet etc., price
Multiple beds in one room was helpful for our family. Checking in & out was quick & easy. Great location.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Did not even stay!
Very dingy, bathroom was dirty, latch on bathroom door was broke. Light bulbs out, I could go on for hours!

7Blind Item!
Okay, this isn't really a "blind item" so much as it's an "if-you-haven't-noticed-this-yet-you're-blind" item, but I saw it in Gatecrasher today and it caught my attention:
Which starlet's constant state of inebriation is causing problems in her marriage? Her hubby hates having to physically remove her from nightclubs.
I'm gonna go with Christina Aguilera hands-down here. I was actually wondering how long it would take for this sort of rumor to surface. We see photo after photo of Christina's drunk ass stumbling out of a club, makeup smeared and eyes half-shut, poor Jordan Bratman practically carrying her. What guy wants to deal with the 28-year-old mother of his child pulling that crap every week? It was just a matter of time before it started causing problems. Xtina needs to get that shiz in check.
By the way, we've got an interesting article over on Zelda Lily today about how women think men want them to drink way more than men actually want them to drink. You can check it out and add your comment here.

couldn't it also be avril?
that would've been my guess..
i'm gonna say avril as well… but she's not really a starlet, right? she's more of a little annoying teenager who constantly hangs out a Hot Topic.. right? I dunno..
Is a "starlet" a singer? I always thought it was an actress.

Profile TonerBy: Amy Jacquin
It claims to be a face-lift in a box! The Profile Toner is really just a foamy ball made to exercise your neck and chin. But is this nerf-like ball worth the $30 price tag? The instructional video that comes with the Profile Toner demonstrates several exercises that makers say reduce your double chin, reduce wrinkles, and reduce tension. They involve holding a softball-sized foam ball under your chin, and then pressing your chin down toward your neck, into the ball. Some call for opening your jaw to add additional resistance.
We bounced the theory off a Cape Girardeau plastic surgeon. And it doesn't take Dr. Trent Jones long to form his opinion about the profile toner.
"Please review the instructional manual," Dr. Jones laughingly reads out of the instructional pamphlet. "See 'warnings' on page three! Ha ha ha!"
And Dr. Jones isn't the only sceptic. Would you really do these exercises at least three minutes a day for eight weeks? We asked several Cape Girardeau residents for their honest opinion.
"I don't know." admits Teresa Connell. "I think just a sound weight-loss program might be better."
"I think I would probably just throw it around like a ball," says Kim Rogers. "I don't think I would use it."
"You work out the rest of your body to tone those muscles," rationalized Amy Cole. "I don't see why it shouldn't tone your face!"
Actually, Dr. Jones believes the Profile Toner will tone your front neck muscles . But that's not necessarily a good thing.
"See those lines in her neck?," asks Dr. Jones, referring to faint lines running up and down the model's neck. "They're called platisma bands. If your platisma bands are too tight, that will change the angle of your chin. Instead of having a nice sharp angle, your chin line will come almost strait down from your chin into your neck. Usually in a face lift, we have to go in and cut those bands you so you don't have lines down your throat. One thing I see that this actually does do is increase platisma banding in your neck. But I can't see too many women who want strong, hefty neck muscles!"
Another point Dr. Jones focuses on, is that you can't spot reduce. All the Profile Toning in the world isn't going to get extra fat off your neck or chin. Only diet and overall weight loss will do that.
"Most of the time when people have complaints about the way their neck looks, it's the result of over-developed or stringy neck muscles, fat deposits, and loose skin," explains Dr. Jones. "And this exercise won't address any of those problems."
As far as the testimonials on the box, showing before and after photos? Don't believe everything you see. Dr. Jones says it's easy to change your profile by tilting your head back and sucking up your tongue. And we wondered about the high-tech insides responsible for toning you up. so Dr. Jones did a little surgery.
"Well, there it is," the doctor says as he cuts the ball in half. "No magic. Just a nerf ball!"
Yea, but nerf balls cost $7... the Profile Toner costs $30! So we give the Profile Toner a "D-". The only reason it didn't flunk completely is that the neck exercises might actually relieve some spasms or tension. Don't waste $30 on this thing.

Mirage:PengLai is famous for natural miracle "Mirage","Mirage"usually appears in the sea surface of northern PengLai pavilion.Last year,on October 24th,25th and December 16th,it appeared three times,This year,from 5:20 am on August,but this year it has become "gate-crasher",whichever season it is,people are possible to meet unexpectedly with it.See?
on the sea surface,first it takes on red bend,then it turns to purple and then it changes frequently which is hard to tell the truth and falsehood.
The coming of mirage is because of the temperature difference between the sea surface air and the higher place air.There are two kinds:One is uprising scene.When the upper air temperature is higher than the surface temperature,the scene is like castles in the air;another is downhill scene.When the sea surface air temperature is higher then the upper air temperature,the scene is like inverted image.This year on August 29th the uprising scene appeared at the same time which was not seen once in a hundred years.

I was online looking at food blogs when I found it. The cookie recipe I've been waiting for all my life.
Garam masala cookies. Made from scratch. So I could use my favorite Indian spice AND my sweet frenemy flour. I was missing a couple of the other ingredients, so I ran over to my mom's house and raided her pantry. Must.Make.Cookies.NOW.
From the time I first saw the recipe, "borrowed" ingredients from my Mom, mixed it all together, baked them, and ate a cookie, less than an hour had passed. Deliciousness necessitates speed.
Oh mylanta. These make your house smell like a warm, spicy, delicious Indian dessert hug. Whatever that is. And they taste even better.
You can find the recipe at Everybody Likes Sandwiches. The only modification I made was to substitute nutmeg for cardamom. I also used regular old fashioned artery-clogging butter instead of that vegan stuff. And if your oven gets really hot, I would cook them for a little less than 10 minutes if you want them a little gooey.
Even my picky 13-year-old brother loved them! But that was probably only because he thought I called them "grandma style cookies" instead of garam masala cookies. Ha!
So go out and try them! It's a perfect excuse to try some new Indian spices in a less intimidating way than a full fledged meal.
Do any of you have a go-to cookie recipe?

Yay! So glad you made them and I love that your brother called them "grandma style". Awesome :)

2-year-old twin brothers are the focus on today's Wednesday's Child.
Kayden and Haden may be hard to tell apart, but they need to be adopted together.
What kid doesn't like to get messy with some easy painting? At the Pottery Shop, we found out pretty quickly how hard it is to keep two, two-year-olds to concentrate on anything for more than a minute.
"He does a great job mimicking you know I picked up the papers he picks up the paintbrush I paint he paints so he's doing really well with that," observes Lance, the twins' adoption recruiter.
These two brothers are living with cerebral palsy... Not both at the same level, and not to the point where it slows them down much.
"But they definitely have their needs and I think initially a lot of people will be scared away by that, but when you see the boys and you get used to their daily schedule you find that it's manageable," adds Lance.
Kayden is the one wearing glasses... When he's not yanking them off... And Haden:
"He has a huge appetite of his is a very mild form of cerebral palsy or he is you know he's moving around and he's getting on his own," comments Lance.
No question these guys will need some special attention... DFS is seeking a family with flexibility...a willingness to make therapy appointments, and plenty of positive direction.
"So were actively seeking you know a family who is ready to adopt the boys. We don't want to have been bouncing around to different places, you know. 'Just really looking for that family with the patience and you know also I think like we said earlier, a family that is not going to just settle for whatever the current prognosis maybe but continue with the boys because of the sky's the limit for them all things considered, so..." says Lance.
Haden and Kayden are free for adoption, and if you'd like to get started in the process of approval, please call the local office of the Adoption Exchange at 436-6335 right away.

(KCEN) -- A Fort Hood soldier nearly lost his life in the line of duty.
But now two groups are teaming up to give him the gift of a lifetime.
The Texas Sentinels Foundation focuses on helping wounded warriors when they return home.
And they partnered with RE/MAX Redzone of Harker Heights.
To give Sergeant Paul Podhorn a completely 100% debt free, mortgage free, fully furnished home.
It may not look like much on the outside but for Sergeant Paul Podhorn it might as well be the Taj Mahal. "I still tell my wife to pinch me, this is a dream come true," said Podhorn.
Especially given where he was two years ago on patrol in Iraq when everything changed."I ended up getting bogged down in the truck pretty bad and I got shot by a sniper," he said. Paul's wife Karen Podhorn said, "I was just in panic not knowing that your husband is gonna live I mean how do you even comprehend that."
Podhorn escaped death by 1/4 of an inch but his injury left doctors speculating that he would never walk again or have use of his right hand.
But while he was spending hours and months proving doctors wrong in rehab plans were being made to give back to a man who gave so much. "SGT. Podhorn put his life on the line in Iraq for us it's just tremendous to be able to be in a position to help," said RE/MAX Redzone broker Patrick Maxam.
The Texas Sentinels Foundation and RE/MAX Redzone joined together to purchase a house for Sergeant Paul and his wife debt free and mortgage free.
He's now going to school for occupational therapy hoping to one day help soldiers wounded protecting our county.
Helping them walk through doors they never thought they could
The house still needs about $70,000 worth of renovations before Sergeant Podhorn and his wife can move in.
To raise those funds they are having a 5K run this Saturday at Harker Heights Community Park.
If you can't make the run and still want to donate you can find all the information by clicking on the NOW button on our homepage.

|Ohio residents can fish for free May 4-5
|Wednesday, April 24, 2013 8:00 PM
COLUMBUS – Free Fishing Days on May 4-5 offers Ohio residents the opportunity to fish in any of the state's public waters without buying a fishing license, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
"It is important to introduce kids to fishing at a young age, and these free educational opportunities are a great way to get kids acquainted with fishing," said ODNR director James Zehringer. "We want to ensure that this pastime continues as an important family tradition for our children and grandchildren."
Ohio's Free Fishing Days are open to all Ohio residents and extends to all of Ohio's public waters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio River. An estimated 1.3 million people fish each year in Ohio, and the ODNR Division of Wildlife stocked 24 million fish in 2012 alone.
Some different species of fish Ohioans might hook include steelhead trout, walleye, saugeye, crappie, yellow perch, bass, bluegill and catfish.
The Free Fishing Days weekend offers Ohioans of all ages the chance to experience the fun of fishing. Here are some helpful tips for taking a youngster out for Free Fishing Days.
• Keep the trip simple by considering a child's age and skill level.
• Choose a pond, lake or stream where children will be able to easily catch a few fish.
• A spin-cast reel is usually easy for kids to use.
• Bring a camera, and keep the trip fun and short.
• Be patient – plan on spending time untangling lines, baiting hooks, landing fish and taking pictures.
Anglers 16 years and older are required to have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs or turtles from Ohio waters during the rest of the year. An Ohio resident fishing license costs only $19 per year.
Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937, can obtain a free fishing license at any license vendor or online at wildohio.com. Residents age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, are eligible for a $10 senior fishing license. A one-day fishing license is available for $11, an amount that can later be applied toward the cost of an annual fishing license. Fishing licenses are available at participating agents and wildohio.com.
The sales of fishing licenses, along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue to fund ODNR Division of Wildlife fish management operations. No state tax dollars are used for these activities. These are user-pay, user-benefit programs.

Jon Bon Jovi has reportedly accused Apple CEO Steve Jobs of "killing the music business."
Apple is the company behind the popular iTunes download service, which millions of people use nowadays in place of buying CDs.
"Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it," the Hollywood Reporter quoted the rocker as telling the UK-based Sunday Times Magazine. "God, it was a magical, magical time.
"I hate to sound like an old man now, but I am, and you mark my words, in a generation from now people are going to say: 'What happened?'" he reportedly said. "Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business."
Spokespeople for Bon Jovi, Jobs and Apple had no immediate comment. Bon Jovi, known for hit rock songs such as "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name," is currently touring with his band by the same name.
He and Jobs' wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, were recently appointed to a new White House council for Community Solutions by President Barack Obama.
The group "will provide advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs," according to a press release.
