I love this oil. It is a bit pricey but a little goes a long way and the smell in amazing. I use it at night to keep my legs and arms soft and during the day if I need a quick boost of moisture on dry parts of my legs. The smell is subtle and doesn't seem to interfere with whatever perfume I am wearing. I still consider Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse to be my favorite but this is a close second. I also love that, in addition to the regular size bottle, it also comes in a really small bottle that is great for travel or to throw in your purse.
So far, I love this. I put it on my face last night before bed, and this morning it's already smoother and more even and feels way way better (and not greasy!). Yes, it's an oil, so right after putting it on it's greasy and oily but now it's all soaked in, and nice. I wouldn't use it as a day moisturizer though. The smell can be overpowering if you're sensitive (luckily I am not) and a lot of people don't like the smell (I do - somehow!) but it's personal preference there. I'll update after using it for a week or two but so far so good!

I found this little gem at a extra long checkout line in sephora. I love oil on my hair, and will sleep with a "mask" of oil on my hair once or twice a month, so I am always on the lookout for a nice hair oils. And hey, at only $9, what could go wrong? Well I am currently on the tail end of this bottle and will most definitely be replacing it. The scent is heavenly compared to other oils, it's lightweight and non greasy. It's luxe and velvety and has permanently found it's way into my beauty routine!

I bought this to use on the face. It has a lovely smell (ylang-ylang, very calming), but for me it is too strong to be used on the face. As this was my purpose, I will have to mix the oil with some other product. I think I will not buy this Again, I will buy unscented oils instead.
Not a fan of this dry oil. I think it is too expensive for the amount of product and the ingredients involved. Divine oil is essentially a blend of grapeseed oil and sesame oil with a hint of shea butter and argan oil thrown in plus some unknown chemicals. It absorbs easily into the skin but did not perform better than any drugstore lotion. Pure grapseed oil, joboba oil or safflower oil works wonders on the skin and all are much cheaper than this product. Lastly, the horrid stench of this oil must be mentioned. It smells old and rancid, like a 99 cent musk oil one could find late at night in a gas station located deep in the holler.

What don't I love about this???
The smell is heavenly - it's warm and faintly rose, but not lingering or overpowering. It reminds me of being at the spa. The texture is smooth like butter, and it feels like silk as the skin drinks it in.
Oh, right... the price. That's what I don't love. Yes, it comes in a super cute bottle with a fairly decent spray mechanism, but the price still makes me cringe.
Here's some good news, though - I found Garnier Fructis Miracle Dry Oil at my drugstore recently. The packaging is not as svelte as Caudalie, and the formula isn't quite so posh. BUT...and this is a big BUT...it's less than $7 a bottle. The scent is similar, and it works well enough for me to save the Caudalie for really special occasions, and use the Garnier on a daily basis.
If only Caudalie were a little cheaper, it would be perfect.

I couldn't imagine using this on your face as the sunscreen filters in it (abovenzone and octinoxate) are unstable and cause skin damage when combine , especially in sunlight
I wouldn't want to use this on my body either for the same reason
The only place I'd use this is hair . Which is super overpowering in terms of fragrance and greasy
Straight avocado oil is cheaper and more nourishing
Skip, this is a waste of money

Amazing stuff - well worth the price. I received this in a Caudalie sampler I purchased, figuring it would be a nice indulgence to use in place of my usual body lotion. The smell is lovely, a light and clean but warm "skin" scent, it feels fantastic and absorbs quickly. Despite being an oil, it isn't greasy, and is what I would call a dry oil. One night I decided to try a little on my face since I get incredibly dry skin in the winter (but I am also clog prone, so I watched my skin carefully for any kind of reaction) and wow - my skin looked amazing after a couple nights of using this! I wouldn't use it during the day under makeup, but it's a great nighttime moisturizer. YMMV of course, but my skin likes (some) oils, and this worked well for me. Also works on hair, apply a little to your hands and run through your hair, smooths it out, tames flyaways, and of course leaves a lovely scent. It is definitely pricy, but a little goes a long way, and I'd definitely repurchase.

I bought a sample from Sephora China of 15ml. I use it on my hair and I hair feels smooth and shiny, similar feeling to my Kerastase Elixir.
The price is very high in China, but once my sample is over I am going to buy a new one.
Usually, I use either Caudalie line and have almost all of their problems (some of them I hate like the sticky Make-up Remover Cleansing Water), and some I really like.
The smell is a bit strong but I'm ok with it.

I can't imagine using this on my face - too scented and a bit too heavy - but for hair and body, BLISS! I was surprised not to see a review for this in the "Body Care" category and will probably do a review there, as that is why I purchased Huile Divine.
Actually, the initial reason I bought this is that for Christmas, I bought a bunch of Caudalie Huile Divine products for a dear friend - a gift set that included a full sized bottle of the oil as well as substantial trial sizes of the scrub and tinted leg cream. I also got her a full size of the Huile Divine body scrub. When she opened these and we smelled them, I decided then and there that I had to get some of this for myself. I'm in the depths of a Canadian winter (-17C yesterday) and my skin needs all the pampering it can get. I apply this oil after a shower, on damp skin, and it seems to help lock in the moisture and it is very soothing and rich but absorbs nicely. And the scent is, well, "divine". I've yet to try this on my hair, though I will. I'm a real fan of oils for face, hair and body. I've tried in past to use the Neutrogena body oil but the scent of that is so sickly sweet/stinky and off-putting and in Canada, I've not been able to find the unscented version. The Caudalie Huile Divine is considerably pricier but it's such a lovely indulgence and a little seems to go a reasonably long way. I know this is going to remain a "must have" product for me.

Comments about Stetson Shantung Gus Straw Hat:
I really like the hat, as I knew I would when I saw the pictures. It's hard to buy hats on line though because size often varies some between brands. I was more confident buying because of the free shipping both ways. Thankfully, the hat fits well and is quite cool and comfortable. Thanks for the great service. I'll be back.

Russell from Smujy designed and produced my logo, business card and website for Avant-Garde Thinking Pty Ltd. I am extremely happy with the outcome along with Russell's quality of service and innovation. We got on the same page quickly during the process which was good for the creative output and overall functionality. It also allowed me to save valuable time and money.Angus Rayner – Avant-Garde Thinking, Adelaide SA
We are very pleased with the overall outcome of our website and the service delivered by Smujy. We expressed our ideas and within no time at all we had a unique logo and original website. Smujy were able to meet our expectations and the team was friendly and supportive throughout the design and implementation process. Thank you Smujy for our fabulous website!Isabel – Sun Room Music Group, Sydney NSW
As a particularly fussy client with clear ideas on what we wanted to achieve, we were very much aware that Russell and the Smujy team would most certainly have their work cut out for them! With multiple tiny changes made over a number of weeks we were super impressed by the professionalism, encouragement, and level of patience displayed by the entire Smujy team. We have come away as ecstatic clients with a faultless design that has exceeded even our very high expectations!Helen & Brenton – "Crutch Is Life" Crutching Service, Carrolup WA
Another excellent piece of work from Smujy! We gave them a very limited brief, but they immediately and intuitively knew what we wanted and rapidly produced this poster which now feels like an integral part of our film. Faultless work once again.Craig Henderson – Thief of Brisco Films, Edinburgh UK
Wonderful work!Peter Goers – The Evening Show, ABC Radio, Adelaide SA

More tests needed on death of Accrington gym owner
1:45pm Friday 31st August 2012 in North West
AN inquest into the death of an Accrington gym owner has been delayed while special tests are carried out.
Philip Wasdell, 42, died on Tuesday, May 15 at his home in Manchester Road, Baxenden, after being found collapsed.
Coroner Michael Singleton said that an insulin overdose was suspected as a cause of death but that he had not realised that the substance breaks down quickly in the body.
He said: "What I didn't know was that testing for insulin is very, very difficult.
"Samples need to be extracted as soon as possible because it breaks down in the body after death, unlike other substances.
"Had I been aware, I might have instructed the pathologist to act quicker."
Mr Singleton told Mr Wasdell's family that special tests were now being carried out in a toxicology laboratory but warned that a cause of death may be hard to achieve.
He said: "My fear is that we will end up with an unascertained cause of death."
He added that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and no suggestion of third party involvement.
The inquest has been adjourned until October 2.

Policy Paper
Flashbacks and Backtracks: What the Current Congress Can Learn from Its Spendaholic Predecessor
NTUF Policy Paper No. 161 -- VoteTally Report 109-2
May 2, 2007
I think on a bipartisan basis we owe it to our children and grandchildren to get this Government in order and to be able to actually pay our way.
After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: pay-as-you-go, no new deficit spending. Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt.
Republicans won the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 by highlighting Democratic scandals and by promising to make the federal government more accountable, responsive, and frugal. Fiscal conservatives expected that the "Republican Revolution" would not only terminate programs such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts but also shutter entire cabinet departments. Using the "Contract with America" as their guide, the House Republicans' first budget called for the elimination of more than 200 federal programs as well as the Departments of Education, Energy, and Commerce.[1] Despite the successes of reforming welfare in 1996 and slowing the growth of entitlement spending in 1997, by the end of the decade the party that had come to change Washington was starting to succumb to the trappings of office. Rather than overhaul America's unsustainable entitlement programs, Republicans pushed through a costly expansion of the Medicare program by adding a prescription drug benefit in 2003. Then budgetary gimmicks appeared and subsequently undermined any semblance of spending discipline. Congress stuffed pork barrel projects into supplemental appropriations bills and called its newfound tactic "emergency spending." The Republicans' continued profligacy, and the ethical problems that led to the resignation and criminal conviction of several House Members, provided Democrats with an opening to retake control of Congress.
The Democrats' 2006 campaign platform echoed that of the Republicans in 1994, by calling for an end to corruption, the elimination of special interest earmarks, and a restoration of fiscal discipline to the federal budget. Obviously, the Democrats' views on the latter issue may not mesh with those of fiscal conservatives. The 110th Congress's Budget Resolutions aim to erase federal deficits largely through tax hikes. But will the saying, "Only Nixon could go to China," yet apply to the party that brought about the New Deal and the Great Society, will Democrats be better able to address America's looming entitlement crisis than the party that claims to represent fiscal conservatives? As the two quotations above demonstrate, words are brave things. But what about votes?
This study was developed using NTUF's VoteTally computer accounting software, which identifies the spending at stake in the votes cast by each Member of Congress under rules designed to ensure that no spending increases or decreases are double-counted. The data includes 225 House votes and 158 Senate votes from the 109th Congress that would raise or lower federal spending by at least $1 million. The VoteTally methodology is designed to reflect the net budget pressure that each Member of Congress generates through floor votes and through the Member's acquiescence to the "automatic" growth of entitlement spending.
I. Methodology Overview
For a more thorough discussion of the VoteTally methodology, please see Appendix C.
II. Analysis
This study includes 225 House votes and 158 Senate votes cast during the 109th Congress. Several Members have been omitted from the data set used for analysis due to resignation, a low vote total, or because they did not serve the entire Session.[2] Appendix A lists Members alphabetically and Appendix B lists Members by state delegation.
A. Data Highlights
B. Who Is More Responsible?
In 1994, Republicans campaigned against a "tax-and-spend" Democratic majority on a platform of making Congress more accountable and less costly to taxpayers. Republicans argued that they could cut taxes, eliminate wasteful government programs, and balance the budget. Twelve years later, Democrats were portraying themselves as the party of fiscal discipline and were lampooning Republicans for runaway spending and a burgeoning national debt. The war of words was fought not only on the campaign trail but also in the halls of Congress as Members trumpeted their tax and budget credentials. Strangely, those trumpets did not blare as often in the 109th Congress, as the table below shows.
This 23 percent decline in the lexicon of fiscal discipline is difficult to explain. After all, Democrats regained control of Congress by presenting themselves – in part – as the party that would enforce budgetary strictures in Washington. Yet, during the 109th Congress both House and Senate Republicans supported smaller spending increases and more spending reductions than did Democrats. In the House, where the average Member backed increases of $305.1 billion and reductions of $15.4 billion, the average Republican supported $301.6 billion in increases and $22.2 billion in cuts. In contrast, the average Democrat voted for $309.0 billion in new spending and $7.9 billion in cuts. However, in the 106th and 107th Congresses, Democrats did have lower net spending agendas, excluding mandatory spending, than did House Republicans ($130.6 billion versus $143.7 billion, and $183.7 billion versus $200.5 billion, respectively). Perhaps the fear of lawmakers in either party to push the issue on the floors of the House and Senate – where, unlike paid advertising, any remark can trigger an immediate rejoinder – was one factor in this pullback for the war of words.
It is interesting to note that the 22 Republican incumbents who were defeated for reelection to the House had net voting agendas that were $2.1 billion higher than members of their party who were returned to the House, albeit in the minority for the 110th Congress ($281.9 billion versus $279.8 billion). Although the differences among the losers' and their GOP colleagues' averages were comparatively small, they do seem to demonstrate that going to bat for a bigger federal budget was of little help to endangered incumbents. At the very least, the figures suggest that there might have been minimal danger in running for reelection on a platform that was more frugal.
Table 2 shows averages for all House Members by Congress, while Table 3 contains data on party averages by Congress.
In the Senate, where near party-line voting is common, Republicans tended to back less new spending than their colleagues across the aisle ($346.8 billion versus $404.3 billion each). Republican Senators also voted to cut more spending than did their Democratic counterparts ($21.0 billion compared to $8.9 billion). However, net voting agendas for both parties are substantially larger than they were in 105th Congress ($40.0 billion for Republicans and $58.7 billion for Democrats) and the 107th Congress ($161.8 billion for Republicans and $299.2 billion for Democrats).
As in the House, the Republican Senators who were defeated for reelection had net voting agendas that were slightly above the average of those who will be serving in the 110th Congress ($329.3 billion compared to $325.3 billion).
While net spending agendas in the Senate for the 109th Congress were below those of the 108th Congress, they have climbed since the 105th Congress, when the average Senator supported just $48.4 billion in new spending.
Table 4 highlights Senate averages since the 105th Congress. Party averages by Congress are contained in Table 5.
Chart 1 shows the rapid decline in support for lower federal expenditures, as the number of spending cutters has fallen to zero from a high of 512 Members in 1996.
Although net voting agendas for the 109th Congress are lower than those of the previous Congress, it is important to realize that this does not reflect an absolute reduction in spending, but rather a lower rate of increase.
C. Voices versus Votes: Did They Mean What They Said?
With Members of Congress proclaiming their commitment to fiscal responsibility on the campaign trail, one might expect those words to translate into action. The reality is somewhat different, however. During the 109th Congress, the House of Representatives voted on 24 spending cut amendments worth approximately $13.3 billion in potential savings. Both the number and value of the reductions were lower than those offered in the 108th Congress, when House Members considered 32 spending cut amendments totaling $21.9 billion. In any case, the House was unable to pass a single one of the amendments contained in Table 6.
During the 109th Congress, Senators voted on seven spending cut amendments, the same number as in the 108th Congress. However, the 109th Senate voted on only $16.0 billion in total reductions, compared to $41.4 billion in the previous Congress. In contrast to the House, the Senate was able to pass three spending reduction amendments during the First Session of the 109th Congress, but did not adopt any during the Second Session. In the end, however, all action proved futile as none of the cuts made it into law.
Tables 6 and 7 detail the spending cuts that were considered in each chamber during the 109th Congress.
III. Conclusion
The day after any election, political pundits often point out that winning a campaign is one thing and that governing is quite another. When discussing changes in voting patterns captured by the VoteTally system with Republican Congressional staffers during their time in the majority, NTUF personnel were often told that the GOP was responsible for governing and that meant passing legislation. And, as was frequently the case, that legislation was more and more expensive to taxpayers. This situation was not necessarily preordained. Bearing in mind that VoteTally measures only spending changes, Congressional leaders could have attempted to muster majorities on behalf of freezing outlays or restricting their rate of growth more vigorously. Yet, by the end of the 109th Congress, Republicans would have been hard-pressed to list any programs that they had eliminated and had not been resurrected in one form or another over the past 12 years. Instead, the GOP would likely have highlighted the areas where funding had increased – even above what the President had requested. Somewhere along the way, the echoes of the "revolution" faded away.
Now, Democrats must attempt to live up to their campaign promises of spending restraint and earmark reform. With concerns about pork-filled continuing resolutions and emergency spending bills, as well as disagreements over what constitutes an "earmark," Democrats have quite a challenge from without and within during the months to come in the 110th Congress.

YORKSHIRE'S dream of the double may be over, but Thursday's defeat to Durham in the Royal London One-Day Cup at Headingley may just have strengthened their hopes for silverware in the most prized format of all - the County Championship. Download this Yorkshire Post podcast here or via iTunes.

As disappointing as the batting display was for Andrew Gale's team at Headingley - Gary Ballance and Alex Lees aside - the White Rose can now turn its attention to the main focus of the season.
With three games remaining, Yorkshire are six points ahead of their nearest challengers Nottinghamshire as they head over the Pennines to Old Trafford to face struggling Roses rivals Lancashire on Sunday.
The Yorkshire Post's cricket correspondent Chris Waters discusses Yorkshire's efforts in both formats with host Phil Harrison, as well as looking at the calls for Alastair Cook to step down as England's one-day captain and whether Yorkshire all-rounder Tim Bresnan will be able to force his way back into the reckoning for the national team again.

Just hours after GMA anchor and Mississippi native Robin Roberts said goodbye to Good Morning America, Roberts' mother passed away.
Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts was 88.
WLOX is being told Robin made it home to Mississippi just in time to say goodbye.
ABC's Diane Sawyer called Lucimarian a beam of light. She sparkled when talking about family and faith. But, her star was just as bright when she ventured out to help the community. Lucimarian was the first African American to head the state's Board of Education. She also served on the Mississippi Coast Coliseum Commission.
Lucimarian and Lawrence Roberts moved 27 times during the colonel's time in the Air Force. They chose to settle in Pass Christian. And they instantly became fixtures in community projects. Lucimarian's philanthropic work was respected by everyone along the coast. That was evident when Mrs. Roberts won the prestigious Pat Santucci Spirit of the Coast award.
At home, the Roberts' raised four children, a son and three daughters. Robin Roberts talked about her mom with WLOX News during an April interview.
"She always made a house a home," Robin said, just before the duo participated in a book signing ceremony. "She always opened her doors to everyone. And all I had to do is watch mamma and I tried to emulate her the best I could."
She was also passionate about music and the written word. Earlier this year, she authored a book, titled "My Story, My Song". That book explained how family, faith, and song helped her survive the tough times, and truly enjoy the good times.
"Go with God," Lucimarian often told her children. "I think children have to have that sense of God because parents aren't always going to be with them. God is always there. So when my children left for college, I told them about the two L's and two P's of God. The light of God surrounds me. The life of God enfolds me. The power of God protects me. And the presence of God watches over me. Where I am, God is. So, when I am not there, they know there is someone else."
Copyright 2012 WLOX. All rights reserved.
For all of her long life, Lucimarian Roberts has relied on her faith in God. This book brings together pivotal moments of her intriguing life with personal reflections from her daughter Robin.

Michael O'Hanlon: Please, No More
Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Michael O'Hanlon is a Brookings Institution defense expert who doesn't actually know anything about defense. He does, however, know how to be a reliable barometer of what very-slightly-left-of-center establishment types believe should be said about defense. If anyone in the foreign-policy community respects O'Hanlon, I haven't met him or her. I remember being at a barbecue in 2005 and remarking that O'Hanlon has never had an interesting thought in his life when an aide to John Bolton stood up, pumped the air with both fists, and bellowed, "Preach it, brother!" Well, that's not entirely fair: everyone's throat-clearing caveat about O'Hanlon is that he compiles the useful Brookings Iraq Index, a compendium of Iraq-relevant statistics. So as a foreign-policy mandarin, he makes a good intern.

Anyway, a couple months back, O'Hanlon went to Iraq, saw that the surge is teh awesomez0rs, and wrote an op-ed suggesting that he was anti-war until he saw the fruits of a successful strategy. Only O'Hanlon wasn't ever anti-war, and he was taken on a Potemkin tour of Iraq. The bloggers started ripping him to shreds, resulting in an embattled O'Hanlon drifting further rightward and becoming more bilious. Call it Joe Lieberman Syndrome. In a different context, he'd be Ja Rule in the middle of the 50 Cent beef that ended his career. Today in the Wall Street Journal, O'Hanlon's got yet another tendentious op-ed, in which he bravely subdues yet another straw man on the left. As you read it, you can practically hear, "We gon' clap back… We gon' clap back…"

Harder to understand is how the foreign-policy establishment doesn't put him out to pasture. Like the Bolton aide at the barbecue, few are willing to say publicly that O'Hanlon doesn't know what he's talking about, no matter how widespread that opinion actually is behind closed doors and over beers. Case in point: a friend passes along this piece of O'Hanlon-related intelligence:

I have a friend who worked on the Iraq Study Group, who told me they brought [O'Hanlon] in, along with the other 20 or 30 other experts on the various working groups. They found his recommendations to be both vacuous and moronic. The man is an empty shell.

Please, O'Hanlon, let it go, homie. Call it a day. You're a young man and it's a great big wonderful world out there, full of possibilities.

As a Florida jury decides the fate of George Zimmerman, people in Atlanta are watching and waiting for a verdict.
Hundreds of people rallied in the memory of Trayvon Martin at the First Iconium Baptist Church, to call for justice for the slain teen's family as a jury in Sanford, Fl. deliberates the fate of George Zimmeran, the man who has admitted to shooting the teenager.
Reuben Reese, who is 16 years old, is a year younger than Martin.
Reese said the same fate could have befallen to him.
"It definitely affects me," Reese said. "It's really heartbreaking to know that Trayvon Martin is just a representation of any young man who could've been walking home from the store."
The case is racially charged and filled with tension.
Martin was an African American teenager.
Zimmerman is a multi-ethnic Hispanic man.
Some have worried tempers could boil over, if the jury finds Zimmerman not guilty.
Reverend Timothy McDonald, the Pastor of First Iconium, said if the jury acquits Zimmerman people will be angry, but he believes they channel their frustration properly.
"We're calling for non-violence, we're calling for peaceful protest. I think the people, just given what they've done so far, will react in a peaceful manner, I don't think there will be any destruction of person on property," McDonald said.
"Anger usually transfers to change, I hope that if justice is not served there is, and anger becomes change," Reese said.

A once busy Evansville intersection is now permanently closed and some neighbors are dreading the changes still to come.
"It's puts a thwart in everybody's events across the street and causes people to kind of cluster up around my house. It makes it a little harder to get anywhere. You get cars going this way, that way and then there's a one way that way. So, there's no through traffic going through actually," Derek Hall says.
Bennighof will go back to a two way once the project is finished.
Lincoln Avenue will be closed at Lodge Avenue starting on Wednesday for some sewer line relocation. That closure will be for up to two weeks
The whole project is scheduled to be done on July 1.

The day started a little rough. We made a wrong turn and ended up going about 14 miles out of our way. We'll just call that a warmup lap. Oops! But the riders were in high spirits. They knew that they were in for lots of fun and activities throughout this day and into the evening. We started out very well escorted by the Louisiana State Fire Marshall, The Louisiana State Police and then the Lacombe Fire Department. Later in the morning we picked up the Fountainbleu Fire Department and their Police Department. The Mandeville Police and the Springfield Police Department were late morning additions. We have been shown lots of love and support on this trip. Lunch was spent at the Ferrera Fire Apparatus factory in Holden, Louisiana. Wow, what a spread! What an incredible bunch of people with hearts bigger then their factory. They had an impressive display of food laid out for us. There must have been 10 different types of sandwiches including a very tasty shrimp sandwich. They had fruit trays, chips, snacks, cookies, drinks and true Southern hospitality at its finest. After lunch they gave us a factory tour and explained what we could expect when we got to Baton Rouge later that day. They arranged for a local bike shop to do any repairs their bikes may need, dinner, party at Happy's Irish Pub complete with a band, raffles and an auction, all to benefit the Brotherhood Ride. What an incredible gift for the families of James Harlow and Damien Hobbs, as well as the testament to the goodness that still lives in the hearts of so many. We enjoyed our visit with them tremendously. That stop gave them the inspiration they needed to go that last 30 miles. Once in Baton Rouge they were greeting with The Baton Rouge Fire Department escorts, along with The Baton Rouge Police Department, The BR Sheriff's Department and the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. Keep in mind, we still had the State Fire Marshall, State Police consisting of 6 motorcycle cops still in our entourage. It was quite a spectacle. Ferrar Fire Apparatus also arranged for us to have 10 suites at the Embassy Suites. Quick break at the Fire Department then on to Happy's Irish Pub. When they rode onto the street where Happy's is located they were greeting with a few hundred people cheering them on. Free beer, music and food, what's not to love. An assistant to the Mayor of Baton Rouge surprised the riders with a Proclamation declaring April 6th, Brotherhood Ride Day. What an honor for them and the cause they ride for. We can't thank Chris Ferrera, owner of Ferrera Fire Apparatus, his daughter, Katie, Gary Howard, Ken Dunham and Bert, all from Ferrera Fire Apparatus. They have been an intregal part of our fundraising for this ride. All this and they have shown us the best time and have done so much for their morale, true brotherhood spirit. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. No injuries, no worries!!

You're cruising along at 65 miles per hour, faithfully adhering to Interstate 95's speed limit. Suddenly the limit drops to 55 miles per hour, as it does in some locations, but you don't notice. Thwack! You get a ticket, even though you thought you were obeying the law.
If only someone you were riding with had seen that 55 m.p.h. sign. If only your car had somehow "seen" it, and been technologically advanced enough to have slowed down on its own.

My first exposure to Charles Dickens was the original Classics Illustrated edition of A Tale of Two Cities. The last panel of Sidney Carton climbing the steps to the guillotine ("It is a far, far better thing I do now . . .") is burned into my memory. So I'm perfectly fine with graphic-novel versions of classic stories as a gateway to the real thing. Classics Illustrated began an update of the series in the mid-eighties with a variety of artists and styles, including Great Expectations by Rick Geary and Oliver Twist by Loic Dauvillier. Both these artists use exaggerated comic styles that don't work for me, but may appeal to a fifth-grader. They will get the job done if all you want is for your middle-grader to have some knowledge of the story; and since Dickens dialogue and narrative are used extensively throughout, these graphic versions can be seen as extreme abridgements.
For graphic treatments of several stories in one volume, see Marcia Williams' Charles Dickens and Friends. She writes for younger readers, so the stories are not as detailed as they would be in a one-volume comic, but the style isn't for everybody. Some of her depictions of Fagin's den or Pip's moor may even be a little disturbing for younger kids.
To bridge the gap between graphic novels and original works, I recommend Stand Up, Mr. Dickens: a Dickens Anthology, by Edward Blishen. Each chapter begins with an introduction that relates the chronology of the author's life to his work, and gives some background to one of six novels. A long excerpt from the novel itself follows, which serves to give the young reader a taste of the Dickens style, and a sense of the plot. I can't think of a better way to introduce a fifth or sixth-grader to Dickens.
These are all resources for getting to know the novels. For learning about the man himself, here are some recent books for the picture-book set and older:
A Boy Called Dickens, by Deborah Hopkinson, illustrated by John Hendrix. Schwartz & Wade, 2012, 40 pages. Age/interest level: 4-8.
The story focuses on the six months that Charles Dickens spent in the blacking factory off the Strand, which would seem like odd material for a picture book. But it's well-told, as we follow the boy through his dreary work routine by day and street-wandering by night, as he observes the inhabitants: "All these characters and their stories swirl about the boy like the fog." It's well told and touching, and a convincing portrait of the experience that made its mark on the author's work.
Charles Dickens: Scenes from an Extraordinary Life, written and illustrated by Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom. Frances Lindoln, 2011, 40 pages. Age/interest level: 8-12.
The author/illustrators use humor and telling detail to create this biography. The basic facts are well-enough known to indulge in a little elaboration, so here we have the recollection of Kate Dickens of how her father used to leap up from his writing desk to capture his own facial expressions for veracity. The major novels are included as strip cartoons—seems like we can't get away from graphic treatments, but it's fun.
Charles Dickens: England's Most Captivating Storyteller, by Catherine Wells-Cole. Candlewick, 2011, 32 pages. Age/interest level: 8-12.
The format of this biography is a little different, presented in the form of a notebook with a fold-over flap. The arrangement is different, too; instead of strict chronology, we get topics, such as "London," "Christmas," "the workhouse," etc. The author makes use of original documents, diagrams, and illustrations, plus clever presentation. For instance, a lot of information is presented in the form of an Advent calendar with flaps. A letter written by young Charles to his first serious girlfriend Maria Beadnell is tucked inside an envelope for the reader to take out. The text is conversational and humorous, which should do as much to engage a reader as lifting flaps.
Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London, by Andrea Warren, Houghton Mifflin, 2011, 156 pages. Age/interest level: 12-up.
Andrea Warren, perhaps best known for her books about the Orphan Trains, here takes on not only the writer but also his social milieu. Her focus wavers from time to time, such as when she shifts to Thomas Coram and his establishment of the Foundling Hospital, or Dr. Barnardo who opened several homes for poor children. But Dickens was well known in his own time for raising consciousness about the state of the urban poor, of which of course he had firsthand experience. This book firmly establishes why consciousness needed to be raised and what charitable endeavors Dickens himself either began or inspired.
There are plenty of online resources, too, which I intended to cover in this post, but there's too many. I'll be back with them later this week–plus, video recommendations! It never ends!

Along with allergies, non-allergic rhinitis is a common symptom of FMS and ME/CFS. Nasal congestion can lead to sinus headaches, facial pain, and problems sleeping -- all of which can exacerbate your symptoms.
A saline nasal spray, when used regularly, can help you keep your sinuses clear. For times when the saline isn't enough, you may want to talk to your doctor about a prescription nasal spray such as Nasarel (flunisolide) or Flonase (fluticasone).

German Celebrations and Customs > March Holidays & Customs
The following holidays, customs, or celebrations take place in March in one or more of the German-speaking countries.
Tag der Kranken (erster Sonntag im März, Schweiz)
Day of the Ill (first Sunday in March, Switzerland)
This Swiss observation began in 1939 when the physician Dr. Marthe Nicati, who specialized in tuberculosis cases, felt the need to create a day that furthered better relations between the ill and the healthy. She also wanted to create better understanding of the needs of the sick. The "Day of the Ill" is observed on the first Sunday in March with visits to hospitals, media awareness campaigns, and a speech by the Swiss federal president. Each year has a theme. For instance, the 2004 observance was dedicated to family members who must care for elderly parents, an ailing spouse, or other relatives.
WEB > Tag der Kranken (official Swiss site)
Internationaler Frauentag (8. März)
International Women's Day (March 8)
Although this international "Frauenpower" observance has its roots in the U.S., it is little known in its birthplace, probably because of its socialist/communist associations. Inspired by an American commemoration of working women in 1909, and following a meeting of the Socialist International in Copenhagen, Denmark, the German socialist Clara Zetkin (1857-1933) organized the first Internationaler Frauentag (International Women's Day, IWD) in 1911. On March 19, socialists from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S. held strikes and marches. Russian revolutionary and feminist Aleksandra Kollontai, who helped organize the event, described it as "one seething trembling sea of women." As the annual IWD event developed, it took on the cause of peace as well as women's rights. In 1915, Zetkin organized a demonstration in Bern, Switzerland, to urge the end of World War I. Women on both sides of the war turned out.
With the advent of the United Nations in 1945, the U.N. used the IWD observance to further the cause of women's rights around the world, particularly in developing nations where women are still often treated as second-class citizens. International Women's Day is now observed in many countries from Australia to Canada, focusing on gender equality. Today's date for International Women's Day probably goes back to a strike by Russian women textile workers in St. Petersburg on March 8, 1917. Although it was observed in the GDR (East Germany) until German reunification, the celebration of IWD in West Germany (by the SPD party) never caught on, and the date goes largely unnoticed by most Germans today. March 8 is an official holiday in fewer than 20 countries, including Cuba, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, and Vietnam.
WEB > Internationaler Frauentag - frauennews.de (in German)
WEB > Internationaler Frauentag - de.wikipedia (in German)
Saint Patrick's Day (17. März - March 17)
Naturally, this Irish holiday is not celebrated in Germany as much as it is in Ireland or even in the U.S., but those few Irish living in Germany do observe "the wearing of the green" and celebrate "St. Patrickstag" with their German friends. Many German pubs also take advantage of St. Patrick's Day to sell more beer and whiskey.
WEB > St. Patrick - www.scoteire.de (in German)
Fasching / Karneval (März - March)
In some years Mardi Gras (called "Fasching" or "Karneval" in German) falls in March. See Fastnacht / Karneval: Die fünfte Jahreszeit for more about the German Mardi Gras celebration.
Ostern (Easter)
Easter can fall in March or April, depending on the year. See Ostern for more.

For the first time yesterday, I got to use the Camerohead NARC line (816 679 7555). The Chiefs set this line up to allow fans to anonymously snitch on other fans. Now I usually agree with 'Melo in that snitches get stitches. There is one glaring exception though, gap toothed hicks excessively standing in sitting sections of Camerohead. So the NARC line was used and I was taken aback by how quickly fan services responded.
Now a word on basic Camerohead etiquette from a REAL Kansas City Chiefs fan. Lets start in the parking lot. The parking Nazi's are going to try and fill every space, that's there job. Lets help them out and fill every space, it makes things easier in the long run. Secondly, if you wish to tailgate take the time and back your car into the space. Say it with me, "The back of the vehicle faces out." If you choose to skip this step and subsequently, the back of your car is facing the vehicle that pulled in behind you, you do not get to toss dirty looks and threatening glares at the more seasoned tailgaters who know how the system works.
Let move to inside the stadium. Treat the ramps to the upper levels like you would a highway. Fast traffic on the inside, slow on the outside. There are REAL Kansas City Chiefs fans who, unlike Herm, know how to manage the clock and get to their seats seconds before kick off. If you are tooting a litter of little critters or worse, someone on oxygen, get to the outside of the ramps.
Something known to all REAL Kansas City Chiefs fans that has failed to trickle down to more casual fans: there are sitting and standing sections of Camerohead. Do you want to stand all game? Get seats in the lower bowl. I'm not saying that fans in the club and upper levels don't stand, its just not a standing section. When is it acceptable to stand in these sections? During and following exciting plays, big runs, big passes, big sack. When is it not okay to stand? All the freaking time. If you find yourself standing in the club or upper levels, pause and take a look around you, chances are you're the only d-bag standing thereby ruining the site lines for the people around you. Want to stand, go down stairs, want to sit, stay in the upper two levels.
We're all here to have a good time. By taking a few simple steps we can maximize the experience for everyone.

Frog's Legs in Butter, Shallots and Garlic with Cilantro Jalapeno Sauce (Cuisses de Grenouille à la Provençale). This is a healthy alternative to the deep fried frog's legs that you often see on southern menus, as shown below, and it is a real French classic. A photo of the recipe is coming soon.
- 24 pairs frog's legs (trimming the spines and tips of the feet)
- 1/4 c. flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 6 T. butter
- 4 shallots, finely chopped
- 1-2 T. chopped garlic
- 1 bunch cilantro, with stems roughly chopped off
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1 T. chopped garlic
- 1 T. jalapeno jelly
- 1 jalapeno, seeds stems and veins removed
In a pan add butter and when it is spurting, dust the frog's legs with the seasoned flour, and cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the legs to a plate, wipe out the pan, and continue to fry in batches.
Return pan to the heat, add shallots, garlic, and stir until fragrant.
For the sauce, puree in a blender the following: 1 handful of cilantro leaves, 1 T. olive oil, 1 T. chopped garlic, 1 T. jalapeno jelly, 1 jalapeno with seeds, stems and veins removed.
Plate the snails in the butter in the center of a plate and pour the sauce around the edges.

As someone who has owned tablet pc's from the very beginning, I am sorely disappointed with Microsoft. First, not advertising the digitizer maker, which is fairly common.. but after all these long years, not bothering to include instructions on getting Photoshop to work with pressure? There is seriously no existing wacom driver on release day?
I will be returning this thing if a driver solution does not appear today, and blogging about the whole experience.
Just terrible!!
what drivers did you installed ? on ativ pro these drivers worked fine :
Tablet PC - Enhanced Graphics Driver 7.1.0-8 30 Oct 2012
That is a different machine, of course. That driver fails to install on the Surface Pro.
looks like holidng off on getting the Surface Pro was a smart move for me. I would use Photoshop CS5 and Sai almost exclusivly on the Pro. This kills the purchase for me.
When the driver fails to install....What error message does it give you? "Tablet Not found"?
If thats the case......here's something to try....If you can.....Parition the SSD and try and install Windows 7 on the Surface Pro.
Windows 8 in general has just been a giant driver mess with Wacom. Alot of the drivers I used on Previous Tablet PCs running XP, Vista, & 7 just wouldn't run on Windows 8.
If you can install Windows 7 on the Pro...and get the Wacom Driver to work.....then clearly the Problem is with Windows 8 and not the Pro's digitizer.
This is such a huge mistake by microsoft. It actually doesn't surprise me now that I think about it, and is probably most of the reason they didn't advertise the wacom tech at all. I hope its a simple driver issue and not something more complicated like MS using some weird hacky wacom tech that they never end up fixing. I just can't believe they wouldnt have stylus support ready at launch for anything other than the 3-4 winstore apps that are a complete joke compared to their desktop counterparts. Complete dealbreaker for me, will be canceling my preorder if I don't see some sort of fix before the weekends over:\
I had this exact same issue with the series 7 slate in windows 8. Difference was I could install wacom's table pc driver. On this device, you can't install that driver, as it gives a "tablet not found" error.
Thanks for the suggestion about windows 7, but honestly screw that. I'm not wasting a day with all that just because MS and Wacom can't get their stuff together.
Yes..screw that indeed.
I think I have 15 days to return this thing. Maybe the Lenovo will have better Wacom Support. Helix anyone? If anyone from Wacom or MS could step in and address this monumental screwup..
I'm not holding my breath on that one..
I would also urge everyone to take to twitter, google plus, etc.. and tweet the fact that a working wintab Wacom driver isn't available for Surface Pro.
Lack of pressure in Sai, Photoshop, Painter, and Flash... among others!
Take them to task over this. It has been over ten years, and MS / Wacom have never figured out how to coordinate on this driver issue! Mind bogglingly insane. They will hemorrhage customers if they don't fix it. Perhaps they just don't care about the artist / designer crowd. Grr..
When you guys say the drivers aren't installing, do you mean that the application refuses to open or that every time you load the drivers, they just don't respond? Just curious!
Anyway, sometimes having the specific drivers for your tablet pc may not always be the best option, which is an oxymoron in itself, if you think about it. For example, I have a Fujitsu Stylistic that has its own pen driver, but that doesn't recognize sensitivity. Why Wacom hasn't released an updated compatible version for Windows Surface is odd, if it works on other PCs. I would try to contact Wacom and Microsoft to see what's up. Not much help, but those are the best options.
A rogue bit of advice that has helped a lot of older users is to try Wacom tablet driver 5.05-7. When replacing my Fujitsu pen driver, I tried a the latest Wacom ones at the time and it wouldn't install. But this particular driver just seemed to click and I've had no problems with it. You can find it on Wacom's website. It's worth giving a shot. Sorry I can't provide a better solution. Now that these reports are coming up, I'm getting a touch nervous myself. :(
