One Beaumont doctor tells KFDM news he's performing check-ups on at least 40 patients a day with flu-like symptoms.
Texas is one of 29 states reporting high levels of influenza-like-illness.
The flu vaccine is the cheapest way to prevent the flu from spreading and becoming an epidemic.
Ashley Gaston explains.
It's a visit to the pharmacy more and more people are making.
Not for prescription medication, but a shot.
I heard about the strain, real bad strain of flu. I'm getting up in age and I want to be protected," said Roy Kirkland.
Roy Kirkland says the flu vaccine helps ease his mind.
He knows what the bug can do.
Kirkland got the flu three years ago and didn't get better for a couple of weeks.
"I was miserable, sneezing, red eyes, the whole nine yards. It's not worth going through if you can prevent it," said Kirkland.
Greg Hamby at King's Pharmacy says if you don't get the vaccine. You could spend at least $60 to treat the flu.
At a minimum you will see at least four prescriptions going along with a single case of the flu and that's a minimum," said Hamby.
Most doctors prescribe Tamiflu, antibiotics, a steroid, and cough medicine.
This doctor is treating at least 40 people a day with flu like symptoms.
"The numbers are tremendously high, they develop pneumonia, staph infections, a lot of complications from the flu itself," said Dr. Waquar Ahmad.
The doctor says the vaccine might prevent 'you' from getting the flu and possibly spreading it to others.
"It is not worth going through if you can prevent it," said Kirkland.
Prevention that takes two weeks to kick in after the shot, but can help you avoid a flu season's worth of agony.
Doctors say it's important to keep your hands clean by washing often or using hand sanitizer.
Doctors also say if you sneeze or cough into a tissue...be sure to throw it away immediately so the germs don't spread.Surge in flu cases in Southeast Texas

[ Kakoora ] Just one day after the great gathering happened, everything seemed to have come back to normal. Kakoora had mixed feelings about the events that occurred - Light Tribe becoming a rather regular tribe again, but with four authorities instead of two, kits being blessed by the spirits... Yes, even his own. They had all gone to different tribes, none of them to Shadow Tribe. It was good this way though. Without them around, it was easier to act normal, although they would probably come to visit their parents from time to time. Who would their mentors be? Hopefully Aiden would be mentored by one of his friends; Maybe Zenobia, Ryner... or Farox, if she chose to become a bone-crafter. Noiz had the luck to be in a tribe with his uncle Jensen and Melibourne, the daughter of him and Sojir, while Khepri would join the tribe Vitani used to lead. And Aoba... Aoba. The dark shaded tom sighed as he sat down at some corner of the camp. "It's good that he is gone, right...?" E

Your hair, your eyes, and your precious smile
Will fill my mouth with nothing but bile.
Your calming voice I no longer depend on
Now when I wake up I am glad you are gone.
Every day I walk this earth
I wonder to myself what to you I was worth.
A simple toy, a precious gift
Something that grew and you finally let drift.
My precious heart, that's what I gave
Your body, your soul, your feelings I craved.
Now today you are gone, and I don't pity you
For the bond we once had you slew.
Now I cry in my bed at night
For knowing I was never right.
Please, oh please slay the pain within me
Before I go on a killing spree.
Night and day I would hunt a heart
Till there's nothing left I would tear apart.
I am independent and strong
How would you know all the things with me that are wrong?
In my heart I know, I would never hurt anyone
For my nature has proven gentle.
You hate me, no big deal
I will never tell you how I r

The sound of Edward's voice rung through the camp, though no one could see him. "Who won the last straw draw game?" Not even back at the campsite before he was trying to get the next player started. "We need to pick up the pace, so whoever you are, run up there and get an item."
Since you were the one who won the last game, you walked up to the items. You ended up at the barrel of items before Edward, so you started without him. After a quick feel around, an item was chosen. "A butterscotch candy."
"Well I think we all know who that belongs to." Edward had finally made it back and was slightly winded. "I've got to train more, that little run shouldn't have worn me out." He took a deep breath and stood up straight. "Why isn't Gaius up here yet? Where is Gaius?" He wasn't anywhere in the group. "Okay then, I guess you can pick aga-."

I soon stormed off into the biggest mistake of my young life. The salty tears covered my entire face and stung my eyes, they were as red as blood, I was blinded by the anger and sadness of my tears. I feel to my knees and cried even harder than I was earlier before. A few minutes past, I slowly stopped my crying. I rose back on my feet and looked around me for a while. I took my first step and slowly started walking around for a while.
Meanwhile back at the barn, Luna and brought the good news to everyone that I evolved. "Luna, are you sure that it wasn't a riolu that looked like Sheldon?" "I'm sure. I know Sheldon when I see him." She ran to the old oak tree and she gasped in worry. Wolf and Caitlin fallowed and were just as shocked as Luna. "Luna, where's Sheldon?" Wolf waited for her to answer. Luna turned to him and Caitlin and finally answered. "I don't know, he said he'd be waiting for us near the old oak tree." Caitlin was worried, she saw me as her only son she never had. "I'm
Dear Little Rabbit The little girl walked through the woods looking for anything interesting. It was getting dark, and her parents said that she was to be home before sunset. Her snow shoes made a crunch sound as she walked around. She started to smell something and then right there in front of her was blood. Big paw prints surrounded the small puddle, along with some white fur drifting around in the sticky red ooze. She wasn't sure what kind of animal it was; to her the prints looked like a big coyote or maybe even a wolf. To her father, a wolf meant trouble. He had always told her to avoid them because they were bad luck, and would shoot at them every chance he got. When he would get one, her mother would just tell her to come inside and forget the whole thing. She would tell her it was just a wild dog. Anna Marie had never been close to one and wondered why they were so evil and why her parents didn't like them.

That's all they say.
And I leave behind
These words in my mind.
I'm broken, I'm dying.
Inside, I'm crying.
There are wounds beneath my skin.
There are trials I face within.
There are things I just can't say.
There are people I must betray.
Beneath a smile, I feel pain.
Behind the sun, there's always a little rain.
And beneath these words I hold in my head...
There's always the thing I say instead.
I leave the truth behind..
So when they say, "are you okay?"
I always say, "I'm fine."

I'm lost.
I woke up and all I saw were trees. A fresh scent caught my nose that reminded me of a home I never knew. I'm lying on a pile of soft lush grass surrounded by purple and yellow wild flowers. I sat up, wondering where I was. The scents of the place are unlike anything I had smelled before. Looking around, I noticed a squirrel watching me from the safety of the trees. He tilted his head to one side, and then scurried up out of view. I felt like I should know why I'm here, but I don't.

Hardships are a token
There's so many scars
I'm proud to be broken
I'm a living shard
I live off of regret
Breathing in certainty
My life feeds on suspense
It's almost considered a dependency
People break down sometimes
That's an understatement
Pretending to walk the line
While hope is in fragments
Can you imagine-
Enduring another lifetime
Even a fraction-
Of the pain I called mine?
I reach for the sky / Sweat falls in the fire
Worshiped halos remain shy / Shall I wait here forever?
People say we are all loved
That's nothing but a lie
Belief and trust become lost
That's the only truth I will testify
The gates will stay closed-
Backs will be turned
I will pray no more-
Only to try and justify the hurt
Some things are just not meant to be
No expectations- means no let downs
My own words are the only ones I'll believe
I was once lost, and I was once never found
And when death finally comes for me
My hollowed soul won't be raised
It will learn that statues nev

I sung those words low from my favorite movie "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron". I didn't know what else to sing. I was too numb and useless to care.
"As the seasons change, remember how… I use to be."
My voice cracks at the last part, but I clear my throat and keep my chin up. I didn't know if it was stubbornness or pride that kept me singing, all I knew is that I needed to sing.
"Now I can't go on, I can't even start."
I've called out for help so many times and come back empty handed. No one helps. I can't even hear God anymore. I can feel him, but I can't see him. That part sucks the most; being blind to him. I hate it. My head tilts down a bit.

Rain Of Thunder
I took the gift of light for granted-
Assuming I would always see
But when my world darkened-
My fears took the best of me
And I would give anything
Just to see a spark or a glow
But my faith was also fading
Withering away like my hope
The only sight I had
Was beyond the walls in my mind
But they were just figments from the past
A false savior that I could only hide behind
The shadows were becoming my mask
It was shielding me from living my life
The skies rumbled ominously / Like cries echoing sorrowfully
I felt rain falling endlessly / Like infinite liquid apologies
Reality shed the blackness / The roars fiercely pierced
My eyes ignited the darkness / The heavens suddenly burst
What once was lost
Can also be found
For effects without a cause
Nothing would ever be returned
Our paths will once again cross
For destiny is bound

Lead by a black she-wolf, a group of wolves wandered the snowy grounds, looking for a group of wolves to oppose and rise against her sister's soldiers. Their limbs were tired and sore, their paws were shaking. But the she-wolf said to remain strong, to keep on going.

Maybe someday I won't feel broken inside
And no longer feel irrational guilt.
Maybe someday my emptiness will no longer consume me,
And I'll stop counting that it's been 75 days since the funeral.
But today is the 75th day since the funeral,
And it's been two months, three weeks, and a day since my sons died.
And every day I'm right back there in the hospital.
Every day they die in my mind all over again.
We're entering the operating room.
I'm holding my wife's hand.
I hear when their efforts fail.
The doctor is explaining what went wrong,
Like he has every day for the last two months, three weeks, and a day.
My wife holds one son while I hold the other.
His heartbeat slowly fades until he lies perfectly still in my arms.
Their bodies are cold now,
But we hold them for a few more hours.
So I'll put on a smile for when friends and family come to visit,
And maybe someday I'll wear one on the inside too,
But not today.
Today my sons are dead, and no one can do anything to bring the

Hot Pink Messenger Bag
Julie from Raleigh, NC– Verified Buyer
Quality was perfect, purchased matching sleeping bag and colors were not exactly the same. Purchased for a 4 and 6 year old as a sleep-over set and took them have their names monogramed on the set.
Carabear from Texas– Verified Buyer
This bag is very cute, but its just not big enough!! I ordered it for my daughter because she fell in love with it, but once we got it we realized it was small. All she can put in it is her 3-ring binder that she carries from class to class....nothing else will fit!!! REALLY wish I would have sent it back when I realized it was going to be to small, but I didn't so now we r stuck with it. :(

Adorable. Well made. My daughter uses it as a backpack. The strap is very comfortable
No bells and whistles
expectingmore from Grand Rapids, MI
Besides the really cute print, this bag has no claim to fame. It is rather small and has little in the way of internal organization.

The success of a charity promotion on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show has led National Thoroughbred Racing Association officials to consider a similar endeavor tied to this year's Breeders' Cup championship Oct. 27 at Belmont Park.For the June 9 Belmont Stakes, New York sports radio personality Mike Francesa made $50,000 in wagers to raise money for the Imus Ranch, operated by "Imus in the Morning" host Don Imus. His wagers produced a profit of more than $12,000. Through the three Triple Crown races, more than $80,000 was raised for the charity.The NTRA was one of the initial contributors to the kitty. Win or lose, $50,000 would have gone to the Imus Ranch."Mike Francesa and some NTRA people kicked around the possibility (of making wagers on or selections for the eight Breeders' Cup races), but I don't want to presumptuous," NTRA commissioner Tim Smith said. "We just thought if it worked so well for the Triple Crown, maybe we should look at the Breeders' Cup."Smith said the NTRA, now that it has a joint operating agreement with the Breeders' Cup, is keen on promoting its return to New York. In 1995, the last year the championship was held in New York, the smallest crowd in Breeders' Cup history -- 37,246 -- was on hand."We're doing a variety of things with the New York Racing Association just to try to make the Breeders' Cup at Belmont as successful as the Belmont Stakes and Triple Crown have been," Smith said.This year's Belmont drew more than 73,000, the fourth-largest crowd in the history of the race.

Harvard does what's expected in beating Boston College for a sixth straight time
Jan 1, 2014, 6:49 PM EST
Before the season began, Harvard's opportunity to host Boston College had the appearance of a game that could benefit the Crimson's postseason resume. Tommy Amaker's team may be the prohibitive favorite to win the Ivy League, but quality non-conference wins have the potential to serve as a buffer of sorts should the unexpected happen and they don't win the automatic bid.
But with a schedule that had just two "marquee" non-conference opportunities Boston College's 4-9 start did Harvard no favors, meaning that games against Colorado (which Harvard lost) and UConn have taken on added importance. Boston College's visit to Lavietes Pavilion served as another tune-up for the Crimson in advance of conference play and the opportunity to move their win streak in the series to six straight games.
Harvard took care of business on Wednesday afternoon, taking a 17-6 lead just over nine minutes into the game and winning 73-58. Wesley Saunders, one of the Ivy League's best players, accounted for 21 points and six rebounds to lead the way for a Harvard squad that's now 12-1 on the season. Kyle Casey (ten rebounds) and Jonah Travis added 11 points apiece for Harvard, whose ability to get to the foul line made the difference in a game that featured 62 possessions.
Harvard outscored Boston College 23-12 from the charity stripe, and entering the game the Crimson's free throw rate of 46.8 ranked 68th nationally. With front court player such as Saunders and Casey, not to mention a tough penetrator in point guard Siyani Chambers, it's easy to see why that area would be a strength for Harvard.
Ryan Anderson led Boston College with 17 points and nine rebounds, but he and his teammates were unable to avoid a tenth loss of the season. The team that many expected to make a move in the ACC has become one that prospective NCAA tournament teams will look at with the idea that "we can't afford to stub our toe," and that's not what fans had in mind for Steve Donahue's team back in October.
While an Ivy League team having a six-game win streak against an ACC opponent is bound to raise some eyebrows, there was no surprise in Harvard's win. And while the focus should be on Harvard's building of an NCAA tournament resume, that fact certainly doesn't bode well for Boston College.

Topic: Privacy Screening, Shade Tolerant
Title: Evergreens for privacy in VA
Answered by: Anne Bossart
QUESTION:I need fast growing evergreens or large shrubs, flowering or non-flowering, for privacy. They will need to flourish among large oak and hickory trees that are 75 plus years old. We don't want to damage established tree root systems, which may or may not be a problem. There is little to no direct sun due to the trees. We live in Roanoke, Virginia.
I imagine that you already suspect that your situation is difficult and your choices limited.
As a matter of fact, when you consider all the variables, the only evergreen that will grow in dry shade to a height of more than six feet and is native to your area is Ilex vomitoria (Yaupon). If you are willing to give the plants supplemental water you can add Ilex glabra (Inkberry) and Morella cerifera (Wax myrtle) to the list. They are all plants that are commonly used for screening and could do the job for you. It is unlikely that they will grow quickly, though, as life is not easy in the soil between the roots of 75 year old trees.
It is impossible for us to make a recommendation about a situation we cannot actually see, but you may need to look at alternative ways to create the privacy you need. A landscape designer may have suggestions of how to combine sections of fence and plant groupings in strategic locations to avoid planting directly below those grand old trees.

Oscar Fashion: Wendy Williams Gives a Shout Out to Hollywood's 'Soft Girls' (Video)
Find out which stars the talk show host tells THR she's looking forward to seeing on the red carpet and which films she hopes will snag some Academy love.
When it comes to Oscar fashion, Wendy Williams says she's only really excited to see how a certain segment of Hollywood turns it out.
VIDEO: Wendy Williams on Her QVC 'Buzz on the Red Carpet' Items, How She'll Greet Heidi Klum
"I always look for what we zaftig girls wear on the red carpet," the talk show host tells The Hollywood Reporter in the THR Covers Lounge. "It's difficult for me as a woman's woman to look to a lot of the very thin Hollywood girls and say, 'Oh, that looks beautiful, that doesn't look beautiful,' because a lot of stuff looks beautiful when it's hanging on, you know, a Size 2."

British brand Baukjen launches it's new Fall/Winter Collection and there are so many pieces that are perfect for the work week or an evening out. I am loving skirts for fall and the High-Waisted Pencil Skirt ($155) paired with the Rye Textured Top ($139) looks fantastic for work to after work drinks. I also love the comfort of the Viviana Wrap Skirt ($139) paired with the fun animal print of the Felsted Print Shirt ($195).
Here are more of my favorites from the Baukjen Fall/Winter Collection:
Annan Wrap Dress ($209)
Callington Wrap Sweater ($155)
Kingsbridge Shift Dress ($225)
Ariella Dress ($139)

Just a couple weeks ago, Maybelline launched a new kind of eye shadow palette that drugstores have never seen before. Maybelline The Nudes ($9.99 at Ulta) is not unlike the trend of the Urban Decay Naked palettes. The Nudes palette has much more wearable, everyday shades for a natural-looking eye. For those of us who get overwhelmed by eyeshadows, there's even directions to guide you. See, the palette can be used as a duo, trio or quad based on the layout. I also love the two matte brown and black shadows that are perfect for lining your eyes or creating a smokey out for a night out. The texture is great and I find the shadows on the lighter end of pigmentation. Should you want a more pigmented look, just make sure to wear some eye primer to make the shadows pop more.
If you want to pick them up in person for the lowest price, you can try Ulta or Target (sold out online). I got mine at Target and I found one of the three that were there. You'll have to of course try and avoid the ones that people have opened up and touched. I was lucky I found the one palette that was new.
This is a fantastic palette and for just $10 can't be beat. It's a great starter palette and I like it better than the Naked palettes only because the Naked have way more shimmery eyeshadows for my needs. The metallic shadows in this palette are much softer and more to my liking. This palette is also perfectly compact for travel because you'll have all the colors you need!
Visit the Maybelline The Nudes site to find inspiration on how to apply these beautiful shadows.

I thought I would start a new monthly post featuring my top 5 favorites from the past month. A sort of quick list of things that I want to share with you lovelies. Some I have posted about before and some I plan on posting more in detail about in the future. Enjoy!
1. Edison Collection from The Container Store (now on sale from $4.99-13.99)
I just got a smaller compact desk for my loft space and spruced up the shelves with these colorful pieces from the Edison collection. I decided to mix and match the colors to make it look more fun. It's been so functional as I have a place for everything which then keeps my desk clutter free.
2. Clarins Lip Balm Crayons - Limited Edition ($20 at Bloomingdales)
These are probably my favorite thing this summer. I pretty have been rotating between my three colors and just bought the coral color last week that I was missing. It's just the right amount of light color on your lips and it keeps them moisturized for hours. I love the crayon shape which makes it so portable in my small cross body bag I use for summer. They are off the Clarins site now but I found that Bloomingdales has all the colors. (Bloomingdales at the SF Westfield just got a shipment at their counters.) See my previous Coquette post.
3. Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder ($30 at Sephora)
I wasn't sure if I was ready to shell out a powder by Too Faced but if you look beyond the plastic packaging, the powder is a perfect one for summer. It's so lightweight and it't just keeps you looking smooth. A little goes a long way and I usually dab my powder brush in there once and gently brush over my face. Unlike other powders, this one comes with a little pad which makes this perfect to put in your handbag when you are on the go and want to be shine free.
4. Clarins Shaping Facial Lift ($80 at Clarins)
I really can't stop raving about the new Clarins Shaping Facial Lift. This updated formula helps contour your facial contours, defines cheekbones and visibly lifts the jawline. See my previous Coquette post.
5. Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris ($17 paperback, $9.99 Kindle version on Amazon)
It's been a busy summer and I've been trying to read more and watch less Netflix on my iPad. To get me into the reading spirit, I couldn't have jumped back easier than with my old favorite David Sedaris. His blend of humor, wit and unforseen circumstances make his everyday life hilarious to read. You can't miss the first story about going to the dentist in France. The short story format makes it easy to pick up each night. I laughed out loud through most of this book while also annoying my husband in the process.

I'm excited to be teaming up with Sally Beauty Supply for this post and exciting giveaway! Sally Beauty Supply is the place for all things beauty - from hair, nails, to makeup and everything in between. Sally Beauty Supply gave me $100 gift card to visit the San Francisco store (2300 16th Street) and pick up my beauty needs. I knew I needed a new flat iron among other beauty things, so this was my chance to take a visit!
This is what I ended up getting that day. I needed to pick up my daughter so I know if I had a 1/2 hour more, I probably would have gotten more stuff! When I first entered the store, I found the hair aisle filled with flat irons and hair dryers from top to bottom. I never saw so many flat irons in one place! (Note to self, this is a great place to get a new hair dryer too.) My hair is very fine so I don't need too much heat to get my hair totally flat. Thankfully a wonderful sales associate came over to help me pick the flat iron that would work the best for my hair. She told me the Tool Science Professional Digital Nano-Silver Styling Iron ($59.99) would be perfect for my hair because I could set the temperature myself (from 300F - 450F). I've been using it all the time since I bought it earlier this month. I now have my flat iron temp at 350 which has been perfect to get my hair flat and under control. The flat iron has ceramic heaters so it heats up quickly and the nano silver tourmaline gives even heat with no hot spots to damage your hair.
To keep my hair soft and free from breakage, I got the Ion Daily Solutions Blow Dry Creme Serum ($6.49). I put this on my hair after the shower before I blow dry. It smells so good – like strawberries in a garden. I love the way it's making my hair soft. I was definitely needing this!
My final hair item were these Salon Care Metal Section Clips ($3.79). I always loved how my hairstylist would dry my hair in sections. At home, I didn't have these clips so I never could do that and have the right blow dry at home. At this price it couldn't be beat and I think the colors are so cute!
Nail Love
I think I browsed around the nail aisle for a good 20 minutes. They have everything there for you to do your own mani and pedi. I picked up a few things I needed and a new OPI color Cosmo Not Tonight Honey ($9.49) that was similar to a Dior limited edition polish I had finished years ago and loved. It's a beautiful pearly rose gold. I also picked up OPI Start to Finish ($13.99) a base coat, top coat and strengthener all in one. Lastly, I picked up an OPI RapiDry Spray Nail Polish Dryer ($11.99) because I never have time to wait for my nails to try. I have a nail polish version that I can brush on but I find it too oily. I really like this spray much better. You can also use it on your bare nails to restore shine in between your manicures.
Sally Beauty Supply has more than 2,700 stores worldwide and features products for hair care, nails, makeup and more. You can also buy online and if you sign up for a Beauty Club Card (just $5 a year), most of the items are even cheaper. You basically get your membership back because you receive a $5 reward valid on any one purchase. Spend $25+ a month and receive an email to save 15% off your next purchase.

In addition to the new nail colors (see my previous post), NARS launches it's new Fall 2014 Color Collection called "Night Caller". The new line is available now at NARS boutiques and online at www.narscosmetics.com. The color palette is bold and features a new series of Night Series eyeliners that are intense blackliners flecked with rich purple, gold, and green pearl for the ultimate dimension.
I have a couple items from the collection that I'm using a lot lately. The Duo Eyeshadow in Dolomites matches my skin tone perfectly. The colors are a shiny rose quartz that I put all over my lid and I use the darker chocolate color around the crease and sides. I can go soft or build it up if I need to go out. The Satin Lip Pencils are some of my favorite lip products. I have it in Bansar which is a nice rose brown shade. These lip pencils are unlike any other as they contains hyaluronic acid to keep your moisture locked into your lips and looking smooth. They work wonderfully on their own or underneath your favorite lipstick.
Here are some behind the scenes shots of the new Fall 2014 Color Campaign:

NARS has a new formula for their nail polishes ($20 each) just launched this week. The 43 shade collection includes 19 new shades – all with a new high-gloss finish for a freshly-painted look. In addition to all the colors, you'll also find a base and top coats to complete your mani/pedi looks. The upgraded formula also is designed to improve wear and strengthen nails something I experienced first hand. I also love the new wider brush making it much easier to apply your own nail polish.
I have two of the new colors: Kalymnos, a pretty soft lilac and Fearless, a bright pink violet that I love for my toes!
Shop the new NARS nail polish collection now at narscosmetics.com.
Starting August 1st, you can find the nail polishes at NARS boutiques and department stores.

Hands down, my HG (holy grail) beauty item is my Clarins Shaping Facial Lift. Just released is the new version, Clarins Shaping Facial Lift New Total V Contouring Serum ($80). I was given a special preview bottle to try for the past month and I can't stop raving about it. Within 2 weeks of use, I noticed that without makeup on, not only was my jawline more defined, I could actually see more definition in my cheekbones. Trust me, as a Asian gal who grew up with fuller cheeks, I did a double take in the mirror. Asians, as you may or may not know have more fat pockets in their face which is why this serum is the #1 serum in Asia.
I've had a 2 year love affair with my Shaping Facial Lift. (See my interview with the Wall Street Journal 2 years ago in When Skin Cream Gets Bossy.) I never thought things could get better but with this new version getting older is so much easier because my face shape is looking so much slimmer. I definitely have more confidence wearing my hair back in a ponytail. Now with these cheekbones to boot, my 40's are looking pretty fabulous. ;)
Packaging-wise, I love the new bottle (the gold looks so luxe!). I find the dispenser spout is more precise and pumps out just the right amount for application each night. In terms of my evening routine, I use my Shaping Facial Lift serum right after I have cleansed my face. Once I have applied it on, I go through the facial massage for manual auto-lifting. (This massage technique is included in a small booklet with the serum and is also in the Clarins image + video below.) It only takes a few minutes to go through the technique and it's so worth it because you will start to see the results faster. The massage technique helps release excess fluid and reduce puffiness in your face. I always enjoy this mini facial massage portion of my night to relax before bed. Then to finish off, just use your favorite serum, moisturizer and anything else you do for your face before bed.. If you feel like your face is particularly more puffy, then you can use the Shaping Facial Lift in the morning as well. For me, it works well just using it at night.

With the summer sun blazing, sunscreen is one of the top skin care must haves that you just can't skip. Right now, I am loving the Avéne High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50. The 100% mineral sunscreen provides UVA/UVB protection in a cream-to-powder compact foundation format for light coverage. I trust the Avéne brand as it's one of the leading skin care brands in France. I usually pick up my supply of my Avéne Thermal Spring Water at the local French pharmacy each time I go to visit my in laws.
The compact comes with a soft round sponge applicator and I love that the holder for the sponge is another flap above the mirror. I've been keeping the compact in my bag as it's a great way for me reapply sunscreen in the day while I'm on the go. The cream turns to powder once it's on your face and it is so lightweight. The formula is also water resistant, perfect for summer. I also love the natural glow it gives my complexion. Much better than a white sunscreen stick, right? This little beauty will be with me next month while we are in Europe as I know I'll need to re-apply my sunscreen all the time while I'm sightseeing. I also love that this product is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
The Avéne High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50 is available in 2 shades: honey and beige. I wear beige which is for very fair to fair skin. Honey is for fair to medium skin. Perfect for sensitive skin too! You can watch the video (click on the "product video" thumbnail) to learn how to best apply the sunscreen on your face.
Titanium dioxide (18%) & Zinc oxide (4.9%) - Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Always photostable.
Pre-tocopheryl - A patented and photostable form of vitamin E provides moisture and antioxidant protection.
- Paraben-free, fragrance-free, water resistant
- Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic
The Avéne USA site doesn't have e-commerce but you can pick up the Avéne Tinted Compact SPF 50 in Beige or Honey for $34 on drugstore.com.

If God Doesn't Judge Us, He'll Have to Apologize to Sodom
I have to admit that when Obama "won" re-election I became more depressed than Madonna's audience was when they were forced to watch her strip the other night. For God's sake, Madonna, put some material on that mess, material girl. I guess she's going to follow Cher's path and torture us with her exhibitionism 'til she takes the big dirt nap. Like a virgin? Yeah … right. More like a sturgeon. Hang it up, Madge … you're scaring the children. Anyway, back to my post-election depression.
As I was saying, giddy I was not that Obama secured a second term via Fieldworks, entitlement mooks and the sponge-brained propaganda swillers of the ludicrous Left … but he did. And for that I must concede that if there is a God and this God is defined by the contents of the sacred Scripture, then this God must be really ticked off at the U.S. because He allowed, in His sovereignty, for us to be saddled with four more years of an administration that blows worse than Hurricane Sandy.
Yep, for those who take their cue from the Bible, you must have noticed that anytime God wanted to wake His wayward nation the heck up because they were belligerently ignoring His statutes, He usually appointed a crappy leader who brought their nation down to Chinatown through bad dictates.
Sure, God sometimes plagued His contumacious people with frogs or hemorrhoids or let enemy nations batter them unmercifully, but on many occasions He simply let them be governed by a daft king, some Moronosaurus Rex who ignored God's ways and led Israel into a moral and economic ditch. That's right. You heard me. God allowed it to happen. Not El Diablo, but God.
Personally, I don't know why God hasn't whooshed us completely off the map by now. I do know that if He doesn't kick our backside for us showing Him our backside that–forgive me Lord–He owes Sodom and Gomorrah a big apology.
So, what can we do? Here are five musts that'll get us on a decent footing with our compass pointing true north again.
1. As people of faith, we can quit sucking our thumb in the fetal position and wetting our big Christian diaper. God never promised us a rose garden–especially when our nation snubs its nose at His commands.: It's going to get rough, so I suggest putting on a cup and quit crying like a wuss.
2. Before we go on whining and moaning about the Left's wantonness, we'd better make dang certain that our house is in order, eh Church Lady?
3. We might want to recommit our lives to God and our God-honoring founding docs and not give any wannabe leader who does not hold our Constitution in the highest esteem, on the left or right, our hearts and votes. Duh.
4. All the Pollyanna Christians out there who voted for this anti-biblical mess, you should be ashamed and hit yourself in the head with a sledgehammer. Repeatedly.
5. Lather, rinse and repeat steps one through four.
Look, the only hope I hold out for America is that God, at the end of the day, is extremely merciful. And therein lies my solitary confidence because we deserve to get our clock cleaned for how we've behaved and not receive a second chance.
In my obnoxious opinion I believe He's going to allow us to sweat it for a few more years just to be certain that our repentance isn't specious and our commitment to His governance is steadfast. I think that He thinks we're full of it and truly don't want to go His way, and the only way to ferret us out is to see if we'll stick with His program over time or if we will simply cave in and bow and kiss the ring of stale statism.
And that, my friend, is a story that's yet to be told.

33 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-35 within 50 miles
want to hike runyon canyon?
I don't really like describing myself. I tried to avoid writing this profile but they won't approve my profile unless I write something - so here goes. I think most people are interesting when you get to know them - so I'm open to meeting pretty much anyone. I like people who are laid back and grounded. Not too much drama. I like the idea of meeting people online - it's so progressive. I've lived in a few places - New York, Europe, and now Los Angeles. For the last 10 years, I've basically been working in finance and trying to play hard. I like what I do - get to travel alot - work with smart people. If you have to divide the world up into "good guys and bad guys", then I'm pretty much sure I'm one of the good guys. I think that's all that really matters. In terms of hobbies, I love playing ice hockey; I love exercising; love sitting at bars; and love learning guitar (also learning mandolin).

A FORKLIFT truck driver has been jailed for two years for trying to meet and have sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Kacper Belzek, of Burwell Drive, Witney, was found guilty after a trial on one count of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence between September 21 and October 2 last year.
The 24-year-old was accused of planning to meet the teenage complainant after they exchanged about 800 messages over the internet.
The jury unanimously found him guilty and on Tuesday Judge Patrick Eccles told him prison was the only appropriate sentence.
During a four-day trial Belzek argued he had been angry at the girl for lying about her age and claiming she was 16 when they had met a first time.
It was after that she revealed she was actually 14, the court heard.
Judge Eccles said the offence was made worse by the fact Belzek actually did meet and have sex with the girl before he knew her age, but then tried to arrange another meeting.
Belzek was not prosecuted for having sex with a minor.
Nigel Daley, defending, said his client was guilty of "stupid" behaviour that would never be repeated.
He said: "It appears that at the end he changed his mind and was not going to meet her.
"The disparity of age was not that much when you see the behaviour of the young girl towards him beforehand.
"He has never done anything like it before and your honour can be quite confident he will never do anything like it again."
Judge Eccles passed a two-year prison sentence and said Belzek would spend 10 years on the sex offenders' register.
He told the defendant: "During the trial you did not display any understanding of how wrong it is for a grown man like you to try and encourage a young girl to have sexual intercourse with you."
Belzek will also have to pay a £120 victims' surcharge.
