There is something about this product I just didn't like. The texture is okay and the smell is alright. I don't know why people are complaining about the smell. It's very light and candy like. That was one of the things I did like. It was how it made my skin feel. At first when it goes on it feels great, but then as the day progresses you feel your skin getting dry in areas and then oily in others. It definitely DOES NOT balance the skin. At least mine it doesn't. I don't know...I just found the product a bit blah. I'm going back to using the Avalon Organics oil free moisturizer and the Alba Botanica one. Those hydrated my skin much better and dealt with the oiliness as well. This one didn't do jack!

I have mixed skin, some parts very greasy, some dry, so I have major problems looking for the perfect creme. This one seems so far perfect in every way. It does not clog the pores and it does not dry up the dry parts of my face. It smells nice, is not sticky, afterwards the skin is soft. I have yet to find something that bothers me on this particular creme, so I think I am sticking to it. :)

This cream is good and the ingredients are healing. I am sure that any skin type would be able to apply without side effects as I can sometimes react to all natural products but this was very gentle and moisturising. Wish it had an SPF though.

The C2E2 Crown Championships of Cosplay is a celebration of all pop culture. It is a craftsmanship award show with a pre-judging session and a stage display. All entries must represent a character or element from the pop culture realm within one of the following 5 categories:
Each entrant will submit an application to be reviewed by the C2E2 team – entrants may only enter one costume into the competition. If approved, those contestants will be contacted by the C2E2 team advancing on to the competition stage of the C2E2 Crown Championships of Cosplay. Contestants will be judged solely on the quality and craftsmanship of their costumes. No store bought or professionally commissioned costumes will be eligible to enter.
Selected contestants will be pre-judged for craftsmanship at C2E2 off stage and then battle it out on the Main Stage for first place in their respective categories. Those first place winners will then move on to the Crown Championship round to win cash prizes and ultimate bragging rights as the C2E2 Crown Champion of Cosplay.
Contestants will provide C2E2 with a brief costume description for the emcee to read as they cross the stage and exhibit two to three poses before exiting. No speaking or individualization of music is allowed as pre-selected music will play throughout the event. The time limit per participant on stage is approximately one minute.
Space in the C2E2 Crown Championships of Cosplay is limited and entry will be based on each applicant's form and picture. There are no group entries allowed.
Prizes will be awarded based on judge rankings in each of the following categories: Comic Books, Movie & Television, Video Games, Anime and Fantasy. First, Second and Thrid place prizes will be award in each category based on the judges scores. Please note: these are the categories currently planned, but C2E2 reserves the right to adjust the categories based on entries received.
A winner will be selected from each category based upon the judges' score in that category.
The winners from each category will compete in the final Crown Championship round. The overall Crown Championship will be awarded to the costume that is considered to be the "Best in Show" based on the scores given by the judges. Every category is eligible for this award.
Participants in the C2E2 Crown Championships of Cosplay must adhere to the following:
Prop weapons will be allowed providing they are composed of cardboard, foam, wood or other light materials. Prop firearms are allowed only if they cannot be mistaken for real weapons.

Title: OK glasses
Date: Nov 06, 2010
We bought these for my 9 yr son for Halloween. They arrived in a very timely manner, and in excellent condition. They look very spiffy & he LOVES them. He has taken to wearing them almost all the time. The only issue with them is that they don't have normal eye glass screws in them & 2 of the 4 screws came loose & we lost them because they are tiny. We tried to just replace the screws but we were not able to find any. We ended up having to purchase a 2nd pair. If I had know that they would of been such a hassle I would not have purchased these.

text: Is anyone else disappointed in the lack of effort put into the RoC filecards? Don't get me wrong, I love the figures and the package art and design, I just have one gripe: The preferred weapons category. Almost every Joe uses the 820 selective-fire, long-range fully automatic assault rifle on the filecard. Gung-Ho has a grenade launcher, Shockblast has dual pistols and a tactical shotgun, yet their filecards state the same, incorrect weapon. The same is true with the Cobra figures: M.A.R.S. Industries D57-A extreme environment tactical rifle. The last straw was when that was put on the Night Creeper filecard. He has a freakin' crossbow! This just frustrates me as it seems like Hasbro quickly overlooked this minor detail that means a lot to detail freaks like me. Anyone else care?

Track WorkDistance: 4.26 miles
Time: 29:08
Comments: This was a lot of short distances at high speed. When I say I hate speed work, this is why. It simply hurts like hell to do. But before I complain too much I have to note that it's lot easier to do this on cooler days like today than later in the summer when the temperatures are in the triple digits.
I've gone back through some of the literature lately looking for things I can work on without putting too much pressure on myself. Sometimes we get so hung up on pace and speed we forget there are so many little elements to running that, if you work on them, will deliver those down the line.
The strategy helped quite a bit on the ensuing 200s as well. The first one was overfast but I didn't want to fall off precipitously on the back end of the workout. Dean gave me a break by not having me do the extra half mile the rest of the guys did but, after blowing through my dozen 200s, there wasn't enough left in my legs to do another four anyway.
Again, I really worked on the consistency in my turnover and tried not to get concerned about pace. When I could feel myself start to falter I pumped even harder with my arms to force myself into the turnover repetition I was aiming for.
The result was pretty good. Except for the first lap, all of my 200s hit between 41 and 43 seconds with the majority of them on the lower end. I pushed myself as hard as I could on the last one but simply couldn't get below 40 seconds. Which was a good sign I did the workout right, I believe
Hour: 6:00 p.m.

Weather: partly cloudy

Injury update: My quads were suffering through this one and my right one was extremely sore during the cool down lap and after. Sore, but not any kind of sharp pull-type pain.

SPV Music / CRCL-90001/2
Produced by: Hughes & Michael Scott
Released: OUT / Website
Closest Relative: Deep Purple
GENRE: Hard Rock
Since Glenn was able to throw off the constraints of Addiction and return full time to music making, the appointed Voice Of Rock has committed some wonderful moments and sensational vocals to record.
Over half a dozen solo records, Glenn has seldom repeated himself. From the AOR of From Now On, the soul and funk of Feel, the aggressive hard rock of Addiction to his last album, the more soulful modern rock of The Way It Is.
Glenn surrounds himself with the best musicians and the best songwriters and it shows through.
Which is why it is clear on his new album Return Of Crystal Karma, that something is missing. This album misses the spark that the others had to varying degrees. When an album misses such a spark, the best place to start is the songs. And that is where R.O.C.K. falls down.
The album's sound is also a little confused. Sure enough,
some parts of it rock as hard as any Glenn Hughes record has ever rocked. The guitar sound is brash and intense, yet it hasn't the impact of Addiction. The album also has it's soulful side, but without the same approach or appeal of Feel. To sum up, the album is a blend of The Way It Is and Addiction without showing the strengths of either album.
The opening number The State I'm In is very similar to The Way It Is' You Kill Me and tracks like Midnight Meditated, The Other Side Of Me and This Life are all guitar heavy modern rockers, but without a killer punch. The choruses are just not there and the melodies and hooks within the songs don't have the desired effect.
Gone is a re-write from the recent Iommi/Hughes sessions, but again lacks the feel Iommi as a guitarist could have brought to this version of the song.
JJ Marsh is undoubtedly a killer guitarist and shines on many opportunities here, but Glenn misses the song writing contributions of past collaborators as Bruce Gowdy, Marc Bonilla and Pat Thrall.
There are a few good songs here and the production is still A+, but when you have a catalogue of achievements like Glenn does, this album just falls short and I for one will rank it behind most of his other albums.
As a bonus, Glenn has included a 6 track live CD as disc 2. I can think of only a couple of reasons why an artist would do such a thing. One would be if there was no possibility of it being issued in full as a live album at a later date or the other reason is that it just wouldn't hold up as good enough for official release. While I always love getting these bonuses, it's clear enough that this will never be released outside this bonus. The songs are killer (You Kill Me, Neverafter, First Step Of Love, No Stranger To Love, Coast To Coast & Your Love Is Alright), but I don't think Glenn was having a good night. On both You Kill Me and First Step Of Love his voice breaks in most unusual Glenn fashion. He does redeem himself on No Stranger To Love and Coast To Coast.
|ESSENTIAL FOR: Established Glenn Hughes fans.
DISCOGRAPHY:Play Me Out . Four On The Floor . Hughes/Thrall . Blues . From Now On . Feel . Addiction . The Way It Is . Incense And Peaches . R.O.C.K.

To be fair, I don't get up before 7. The wee one sits in her bed and sings for about an hour before she starts calling for milk - why should I get up and ruin her little musical hour? Behold though, there will come a time when I have to take the nappies off during the night. Not good. Really not good!

The Four Dimensions of Formation
The Human Dimension
Grace builds on nature, and the vocations of the Lay Minister and the deacon are built on the human person who responds to a call from God for service to the Church. Relational skills are essential for effective ministry. For most deacons and lay ministers, although not all, the primary relationship is that of husband and wife.
A marriage inventory is introduced during the orientation weekend to participants going through the program with their spouses to help insure that those who are married are bringing strong, vital marital relationships to the formation process. Should the inventory reveal that a marriage relationship needs to be attended to, the participant is encouraged to deal with those issues first and then resume formation where it was interrupted. The demands of the formation program on people's time and energy are great. Even vitalized marriages need to protect themselves from being eroded by the demands of the formation process. For deacons and their wives, this becomes even more important after ordination. Should anyone experience the need to take time during the program to attend to their marriage relationship, they will be encouraged to leave the program temporarily and then continue in formation at a later date, resuming at the point where they disengaged.
Psychological testing is a part of the ongoing screening process. All of us have personalities that have both strengths and weaknesses. God uses the totality of the person for His own purposes in ministry. Psychological strengths and weaknesses need to be understood and embraced as a foundation for spiritual growth. More information will be given later in the year regarding the psychological testing.
The ability to reveal self in an appropriate way, to cooperate with the formation process, to enter mutual relationships where sharing faith can occur, to trust, to initiate relationships, to self-evaluate, to grow in one's faith and develop the ability to communicate that faith are critical to the formation process and are addressed in all phases of the program but especially in the Human Integration Mentoring Meetings. Participants will meet with their mentors monthly for two hours at a place and time mutually acceptable to everyone in the group. Groups are assigned based on geographical proximity with those forming for diaconate being mentored by Deacons and their wives and those being mentoring into lay ministry being mentored by Lay Ministers.
The Intellectual Dimension
The Intellectual Dimension
While the Aspirancy Path and the Discovery Year for Lay Ministry are not intended as primarily academic or "classroom" experiences, four courses provide for the intellectual development of the participants. Aspirants are expected to read the Vatican Directory, "The Basic Norms for the Formation, Ministry and Life of the Permanent Deacon." Those preparing for lay ministry are expected to read the USCCB document, "Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord." Whether one is forming oneself for diaconal or lay ministry, most work in this formation prgram is collaborative in an effort to build collegiality and mutual respect.
Weekend-long intensives will be held in Communication Skills for Ministry, Foundations of Theology, The Catechism of the Catholic Church and Catholic Social Teaching. During each intensive weekend, reading and writing assignments will be given for course completion. These courses are designed to give participants a solid grounding and a common understanding of some of the basic elements of ministry and Catholicism.
The ability to listen and to communicate effectively, a basic understanding of the content of our faith and knowledge of Church teaching in the areas of charity and justice are essential parts of ministering to the people of God. The bishops of the United States have repeatedly said that charity and justice are constitutive elements of the faith. One indication of a vocation to diaconate is a passion for the ministry of charity and justice.
Another vital aspect of one's intellectual formation is the ability to engage in theological reflection. In the process of learning this important skill, participants will learn to apply the Church's teaching on moral matters including her social teaching to current issues.
Because the diocese of Boise covers all 84,500 square miles of Idaho, each course is held in a different part of the state to expose participants to the whole local church and to make formation accessible to people who live in every part of the diocese.
The Spiritual Dimension
The Spiritual Dimension
There are three characteristics that apply to all those interested in being formed for ministry: love for the Lord, an ability to articulate faith and spirituality and generous service to the poor and marginalized.
The theology and spirituality of Lay Ministry and of the Diaconate is the center of all other formation activities and growth. This year is a time to focus on each person's faith and spirituality whether they are preparing for lay or ordained ministry or accompanying someone who is preparing. It is a time to grow in personal relationship with Christ and in commitment to the Church and its mission in the world.
As part of the formation process, you will be expected to identify a spiritual director for yourself, and participate in regular spiritual direction throughout the four years. It is in spiritual direction that one learns how to bring the issues in one's life to prayer. This is an important aspect of discernment and everyone will be expected to have initiated a relationship with a spiritual director consisting of one hour each month by the beginning of October. This relationship is confidential in nature. The only contact the formation program will have with the spiritual directors will be to confirm regular participation in spiritual direction.
On one Saturday in each of several months throughout the year, participants will explore various aspects of Spirituality in the Catholic Tradition. (You can see examples of those seminars and their presenters on the "Servant School Courses" page of this website.) The seminars will be accessible over the internet to limit the amount of travel required to participate.
Substantially different in tone and pace from the academic intensives, the first year ends with a retreat in June. This experience gives participants an opportunity to reflect on the past year and continue to discern their vocation to public ministry in the Church.
An essential part of formation is regular participation in the sacraments and a healthy prayer life. All are encouraged to examine the frequency of their reception of the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation and the vitality of their daily prayer and to make the adjustments necessary so that their participation in formation can be fed from these essential sources of grace.
The Pastoral Dimension
The Pastoral Dimension
Developing ministerial skills, which include learning how to approach social justice issues critically and systematically, is another important dimension of formation and discernment. The whole of the Aspirancy and Discovery Year provides a basic structure, intellectual understanding and spiritual basis for engaging in the social justice internship which occurs in the spring and summer before being accepted to proceed in the formation process. Details regarding this internship and a list of internship opportunities will be provided during the intensive weekend which takes place early in March.
All four years of formation include experience in the pastoral dimension. Just as the summer internship following the Aspirancy/Discovery Year is focused on an area of social concern, the internship after the 2nd year will give participants experience in hospital ministry and home visiting.
Entering the final year of formation, interns will gain practical experience in the specific ministries they will be performing after ordination or certification. Each person will also take part in a second internship in program and leadership development as part of their final year of formation.

This past Friday I ended up climbing this route without knowing what it was until we got down and read the guide book. We'd started up Hawk, but moved over to the left-facing corner that marks the right end of the Hawk traverse. We went up from there and through the roofs to the GT ledge. Turned out to be rather enjoyable. Admittedly, we missed the first pitch, but I can recommend the upper two. The gear was below my feet when I swung around the first roof, but the holds were very positive.

The Virginia women's basketball team fell in double overtime at Alabama Friday afternoon.
The Cavaliers (6-4) and Crimson Tide (7-3) were tied at 29 at the half. Virginia trailed by a bucket late in the second half when Sarah Imovbioh knocked down a jumper to tie the game at 58 with 30 seconds left.
Alabama then missed a last second chance at the win, sending the game into overtime.
In the extra frame, a Simone Egwu free throw gave UVa a three-point lead with seven seconds left but Alabama's Shafonte Myers drilled the game-tying three with three seconds on the clock to force a second overtime.
Another Myers three gave the Tide a 69-68 lead but another Egwu jumper gave the Cavs a 70-69 edge with 1:30 left.
However Alabama would knock down free throws from there to seal the 73-70 win.
Kelsey Wolfe led the Cavaliers with 16 points and Egwu added 11.

us dumbass lefty liberal muppets are the ones who'd look to stop people making a cozy living off human misery. It the fuckwhit right wing who campaign simultaneously for free market rules but no loss of domestic native employment and don't notice that level of disconect between goal a and goal b.
I grew up abroad partly and watched the human trafficer market a dream future to the desparate. Those who fell for it got shipped off only to find they owed the traiffcers a debt they could never repay. Stepping out of line got members of your family back home kidnapped and tortured until you returned to compliance.
But stopping human trafficing is difficult, so the right merely look to demonise those caught in that trap. Forever solving the symptom not the solution. Just like Cameron and his "no council home for 2 years". So, he wants to keep the top of the list for those who've been here longest. Fair enough, but all that actually happens is councils have to treat those kicked off the list as homeless, which runs at three times the cost. Put those two things together and you see how stupid the plicy is: problem - too few houses for people, solution - increace the cost to councils to house people.
Every day I gain just that little bit more despair for the world as it bows to moronic populist bullshit.

from the Guardian reader plc. Having a 13 year cockroach infestation, the wholesale capitulation of border controls to the sodding EU is just one of the many problems that beset the UK. You can't have uncontrolled immigration without it having a effect on the housing market,schools, hospitals and prisons. And as for that tired and sad argument about immigration through the ages there is no way you can draw a comparison to what Britain was like then as to what it is like now, ie overcrowded and skint. Gap year students ANichol, name me one country where over 10 million English students have taken up residence, also you conveniently glossed over the fact the English students contribute to the host nation, and don't spend all day breeding more bastards that the UK taxpayer has to fork out for. Still if l was a smug Guardian reading Labour mouthpiece in a immigration proof job l doupt if l would be concerned much either.

i must say my dear chap you certainly have a way with words, and more or less my thoughts in its entirety, just watch the fan club now jump on board and brand me or anybody who believes the truth as bigots and racists.
Who you callin' Labour? I've never read the Guardian. And as for immigration proof job - you really think that they don't hire from oversees / immigrants in teaching? In some schools being at least bi-lingual is almost on the job spec. It doesn't affect wages, but that's because we kept Unions going to set a national wage structure...maybe others should have done the same.
I never said unregualted immigration was a good thing, I was merely highlighting that the right wing tell us that free-access competition is a good thing one day, then that it is a bad thing the next day, that it is to blame for our current economic woes, but that we should never seek to regulate it. A load of self-contradicting hyprocrital horseshit.
The gap year point was just me being facetious...but we didn't object to the building trade in the UK decamping en-masse to Germany in the 1980s, or Brits looking to run out the clock in sunnier climes. We have this philosophy that its ok for Brits to go whereever, but not vice versa. As for access to benefts, etc, see my earlier point on denial to anyone who hasn't contributed. Sort that and the desire for economic migration to the UK will decline and only the contributors will come. We'll also get our own feckless of their couches.
And BabyR, if people agreeing with you use a metaphor of cockroaches to describe other people in the world, don't get uppity when people brand you a bigot.

There is no need for anyone to brand him a bigot..... his own words are more than sufficient.
McWindbag, if being a bigot means taking a stand against Labour's 13 year sponge fest then so be it. The tide is turning against freeloaders, tit head Cameron, Cleggy and Milibland have finally woken up to what the voters concerns are, thanks to UKIP.

To be a net contribution to this country you need to earn something like 30K, how does letting in a bunch of low skilled labour into the country on minimum wage going to help anything? The people who leave for spain are generally retired and are self supporting, the people who use that argument are clearly retarded. Sort out the fuck wit Jeremy Kyle crowd, then we can start looking at where we need un skilled labour in the market, local government for example. Also anyone who has been to one of the small towns in north notts recently, its like eastern europe, stopped at a youth hostel and one skin headed twat said how he loved the country for its benefits whilst holding a can of tuborg and looking like he wanted a good fight

Why are your prices lower than the competition?
At Stylish Kitchen + Bath we buy directly from the manufacturer, there is no middleman, so no additional costs.
Do you offer a delivery service?
Yes, we can deliver your purchases! Except where indicated, we offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $499 to addresses within Ontario, Canada. All products are shipped standard delivery unless otherwise indicated. Expedited delivery is available at an additional charge. For orders under $499 a non-negotiable flat rate of $20 will apply
FAQ about our Sinks
What kind of stainless steel does Stylish Kitchen and bath use?
Our stainless steel sinks are manufactured from premium 304 series stainless steel, which is rust-free, scrape-resisting, non-porous, hygienic, and extremely durable. This type of steel has 18% Chromium content, and 8% Nickel content which provide shine and luster in your sink, and prevent corrosion. This is the industry standard for kitchen sinks, and other food and sanitary products.
What does gauge mean?
All sheet metal is classified by thickness. The lower the gauge number, the thicker, and therefore stronger and heavier the steel is. So, 16 gauge steel is thicker and stronger than 18 or 20 gauge steel.
What type of finish does this sink have?
Our sinks have been polished to a lustrous satin finish with a very fine grain, typical of most high-end sinks. This is preferred by most homeowners because scratches do not stand out as much as they would on a polished or mirrored finish. Why is the chromium and nickel content of the sink important? Stainless steel is an alloy made up of different metals. Nickel gives the stainless steel it strength and hardness while chromium gives it luster & durability.
Why is it important for my sink to be undercoated and have pads on the bottom?
The undercoating and pads are the "soundproofing" of the sink. The pads reduce the "pinging" sound the sink would otherwise make when the faucet water hits the bottom of the sink and the pads help to reduce the noise from the garbage disposal. In addition, the undercoating helps to prevent unwanted condensation on the bottom side of the sink.
What is the best way to clean my new sink?
Stainless steel is very easy to clean, but you need to keep a few things in mind. First.... NEVER use steel wool to clean your Stainless Steel Apron Sink, or Undermount Sink. The steel wool can leave bits of steel embedded in the brushed finish of your sink, and those little threads of steel will rust. Also, do not leave pots or pans in a wet sink for long periods of time. This can cause discoloration in the sink. For regular, everyday cleaning, a towel and soapy water are perfect. For more thorough cleaning, we recommend products such as Barkeeper's Friend, or Bon Ami.
Will my new sink rust?
Because stainless steel is an alloy mixed with chromium and nickel it does not rust! However, rust may bond to the surface of your sink if a rusty object is left in the sink. Please remove it with right cleaner. The cleaner arrives with directions and is easy to use - your rust spot will be gone in a few minutes.

INDIANAPOLIS - Four children came to the defense of their mother in an attack on Indianapolis' south side Tuesday night, police said.

Police said two of the older children, ages 14 and 12, were punched in the face and thrown into a wall while trying to protect their mother, Precious Croom, 33.
The police report indicated that Tommy Mitchell, 23, of Indianapolis was upset with Croom because he had heard she had been seeing another man.
Police said Mitchell left the home before police arrived, but he was arrested nearly two hours later when he was seen outside the apartment.
He faces charges of battery, domestic battery, strangulation and interfering with the reporting of a crime.

The potato peels fall to the floor
in a country of rice.
The tatami needs replacing.
We must participate in something.
The aftermath still holds us,
infants and animals.
Shall we believe in the next light
or will it pass like the first?
What will you do with yourself
when the striving victim is done.
There is little to say at this pass between lives.
Hope comes lean and sculpted.
I thought happiness would be fat.
I seek Antarctic peace
unpopulated and spacious.
Having given up all attachments but one,
I feel some closer bone.
Wisdom guts us.
An empty seat
on a train so near full.

GREENSVILLE COUNTY, Va. — A missing sheriff's deputy was found dead in a creek this morning after what appears to be a weather-related crash.
Percy Lee House III, 52, had been missing since Friday morning. He was found in his car in a creek off Massie Branch Road, according to a news release from the Virginia Sheriff's Association.
State police are investigating but icy road conditions appear to be the cause of the crash, the release said.
Greensville County is in southeastern Virginia, close to Southampton and Sussex counties and the city of Emporia.

These Winter Workouts Are Way More Fun Than Hitting The Gym
It may be cold, but these outdoor calorie-burners are leaps and bounds better than yet another session on the elliptical.
By Ava Feuer
Camp Gladiator
If you haven't yet tried a boot-camp workout, you likely know at least 10 people who have—it's a huge fitness trend. Camp Gladiator, which runs throughout the year, actually began in Texas, where workout warriors had more trouble withstanding 100-degree heat than snow. Now in Los Angeles; Colorado; Orlando, FL; Tampa, FL; Atlanta; Louisiana; Raleigh, NC; and Oklahoma, as well as five Texas outposts, typical sessions include interval training, sprinting, agility, body-weight drills and plyometrics to increase speed, stamina, and a whole lot of positive energy.

Cincinnati circa 1850s. "Unidentified woman, half length portrait, seated with arm on table." Sixth-plate daguerreotype by James Presley Ball. View full size.
I consider this the best of Ball's work with women. For the time, and even today, she's beautiful. And the fact she is unknown makes it strangely haunting, especially when you consider this was taken 160 years ago.
When you get one with a clean image, the level of detail is astounding. You can almost sense the texture of the cloth covering the small table she's leaning on.
Portrait of the young Linda Ronstadt.
There's a theory that there are only so many facial types, that we see likenesses in people who can't possibly be related. I tend to think it's true, the longer I live.
Wow. She could be a relative of mine. She looks like me in all but the shape of her eyes. Even the arch of one eyebrow is consistent with mine.
I usually object to the stock response "she looks so modern" or "she looks very contemporary", etc. I usually disagree with those sentiments when they are expressed. But something about this young lady's attentive and engaging expression does look "modern" to me. I can see this girl as an avid time-traveler! And I want the chance to get to know her!

NCGA: Corn ethanol is here today to fuel U.S. economy now
Corn farmers are good environmental stewards
The National Corn Growers Association said that comments made Feb. 11 by the Environmental Working Group and associated Grocery Manufacturers Association groups are just another attempt to prevent the ethanol industry from decreasing the United States' dependence on foreign oil. NCGA further asserted that there are many environmental benefits from corn ethanol and that corn farmers continue to be good stewards of the environment.
"These environmental groups are stirring up fear for the American public at a time when Americans are already struggling due to the faltering world economy, job losses and high costs of food brought on by some food companies' record profits and greed," said NCGA President Bob Dickey.
"The fact remains that 'made in the U.S.' corn ethanol is here--and available today--to strengthen the U.S. economy, create new, U.S.-based jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Wind and solar power are good options for energy; however, these will take years to have the same impact that ethanol is having now," Dickey said. "Furthermore, corn supply is ready and available for ethanol expansion since corn growers have increased corn stock to 1.8 billion bushels."
Recent studies, including the acclaimed University of Nebraska study released earlier this year, show that ethanol has many environmental and economic benefits, including:
--Ethanol production and use today reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 59 percent compared to gasoline.
--The production and use of 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol in 2007 displaced 228 million barrels of imported oil valued at $16 billion. Ethanol experts expect those numbers to all increase in 2008.
--Ethanol has provided more than 260,000 jobs across the economy, with more growth expected.
--Water use by ethanol plants has been reduced by 26 percent since 2001.
--America's ethanol industry has added more than $34 billion of new revenue for the federal government since 1978 and reduced America's cost of foreign oil by nearly $100 billion. This is a 5 to 1 return on America's investment in ethanol.
In January 2009, the "Field to Market" Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture program issued a report providing the first-ever framework for measuring agriculture sustainability.
The initial index shows that soil-loss efficiency trends have improved substantially--by 30 to nearly 70 percent--for the four crops evaluated. Energy use per unit of output is down in corn, soybean and cotton production by nearly 40 to more than 60 percent. Irrigated water use per unit of output has also decreased--20 percent to nearly 50 percent--while carbon emissions per unit of output have dropped by about a third for these three crops.
Specifically, corn has seen the following changes between 1987 and 2007.
--Land use: The amount of land needed to produce one bushel has decreased 37 percent.
--Soil loss: Manageable soil loss per bushel of corn has decreased by 69 percent.
--Energy: The energy used to produce a bushel of corn has decreased by 37 percent.
--Climate impact: Corn production has seen a 30 percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions per bushel.
The National Corn Growers Association is a national organization founded in 1957 and represents approximately 35,000 dues-paying corn growers and the interests of more than 300,000 farmers who contribute through corn checkoff programs in their states. NCGA and its 48 affiliated state associations and checkoff organizations work together to help protect and advance the corn producer's interests.

How to Invest $500
By Mackenzie Brown
Photo Credit: J. Hetherington/Getty Image
Invest $500 a year for the next 10 years in the S&P 500 (an index of 500 diversified companies), and you'll end up with $7,195 assuming the S&P earns its historical annual average of 11.91 percent says Jennifer Ellison, CFA, a portfolio manager at Bingham Osborn & Scarborough LLC. (An index may do better than individual stocks because highs and lows even out.) The long-term profit potential is even more compelling. A 35-year-old woman investing $500 a year until she hits age 65 could amass $103,958 by the time she retires. (Just think of all the shoes you could buy with that nest egg!)

Less dominant after spay??
April 2009
Posts: 390
Here's a quick question for thos who have experience with female dogs. What has your experience been with your dogs tempermant after she has been spayed? I'm inquiring specifically because I'm curious if Kahlo's tendancy to want to dominate other dogs will diminish. This is the second time she's gotten into a scrap because she tries to dominate another dog.
Is it also true that a female dog may get a bit more agressive post surgery for a few months?

This is a complicated question, the answer depends on what you mean by "she tries to dominate another dog" and how she reacts to hormones when she is in the swing of a heat cycle (before or after her heat).
Can you elaborate on "she tries to dominate another dog"?

Both of my girls were spayed around 6 months. And to be completely honest, I did not notice any difference in their behaviour or personalities after the initial healing process. I am not sure if this is because they were spayed young or just their temperament.
Hopefully someone who has had an adult dog spayed will be able to provide some more information.

I will give you what I have learned from our experience fixing our girls., but I still would like to know what you mean by "she tries to dominate another dog".
Ahi - She was fixed early, and we didn't notice a big change in her behavior, tho she has progressively got bitchier as she ages. Ahi never went into heat.
Lani - She was very "moody" through her 5 heat cycles before we fixed her. She was very lethargic at times, clingy, bitchy with the dogs at times, etc. Post spay she has normalized and seems a lot more care free.
When you fix a female their testosterone levels spike for several months, and that can cause some added "bitchyness", but, from our experience, the increase in "bitchyness" is no different from the mood swings you see when a female come in and goes out of heat.

Kelly was spayed last thursday (4-9-09) so shes only about a week into her post surgery but she is WAY more agressive and dominant. she disobeys most and sometimes all of my commands, which is a dramatic change for me because he was very respnonsive before. she plays with things shes not supposed to and when i say "no" she grabs it and runs off. she is also seemingly more territorial and barks at our other house dogs when they try to enter my room. and when we are giving out treats, normally both dogs will sit next to each other nicely and wait, but now she sits in front of the other and if the other dog comes closer she starts to growl. she is also more reactive towards outdoor noises (birds, neighbors wind) meaning that she gets in a really alert stance and lets out a low volume bark. finally, she is never allowed on my bed, but since shes been spayed, she jumps onto my bed and sleeps there when im not home. she also jumps on in the middle of the night but it never wakes me up so i cant correct her.
you mentioned that female dogs might be more agressive after surgery, in my personal experience i cant say its several months yet, but for the week since shes been spayed, its definitely true.

We encountered two dogs (both male). The one dog jumped on top of Kahlo, she was okay with that, still in play mode. Then she went to mount the male dog in return (which is what I mean by dominate)...it's interesting though, because when she goes to mount a dog (she's done this twice with me) she gets very quiet...in fact, I knew about 1 second before the fight broke out what was going to happen, it's like this strange demeanor comes over her just as she's about to jump on top...and it freaks out the other dog. The dog turned on her instantly. Kahlo does not back down, and in fact escalated the disagreement to flat out fight. I was able to pull her off, get control and put her in a down stay which was pretty remarkable. Am I making any sense??

William: Be careful about drawing that conclusion. It's easy to want to associate the behavior changes with being spayed, but there are way too many complicating factors for that to be an accurate conclusion. "
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
"..."after it, therefore because of it". It's a logical fallacy. I also point to Oocam's razor. Wouldn't the simpler and more obvious explanation that she's either not feeling well after surgery and maybe confounded by any pain or anti-inflammatory drugs she's on be more likely cause?
Karen: How long ago was she spayed? It's possible she's still not feeling well and therefore feeling vulnerable and will get more reactive as a result. Also, how long have you had her? Not that long right? It could be that she just happened to mount the wrong dog that didn't take kindly to it and it escalated.

Actually she hasn't been spayed yet (that's upcoming)...this is her second altercation with a dog. The first one, the owner took responsability saying her dog is a bit agressive and tends to try and attack bigger dogs (that resulted in one of the biggest eye-rolls I've ever given), this last one was a bit strange...I could actually sense her entire mood shift as she placed herself above him.
My last dog was really submissive and would instantly submit and rarely did I ever see anything escalate, and if it did he would respond instantly to voice command...with Kahlo, she's very quick to take things up a notch and finish it, thus a complete departure from what I'm used to. I wasn't sure how much of this is because she's not spayed, if spaying will alter this tendancy much, or if this is just her breed tendency....

Probably little to known of it had to do with her not being spayed. If I may suggest, since it sounds like she has a personality you are unfamiliar with, perhaps schedule a few appointments with a good behaviorist to help you gain a good understanding of what she is actually reacting to, and help you all effectively communicate with each other.

I"m definately going to bring in a behaviorist...as far as training, she's a dream...but I think bringing in the behaviorist is a must..especially since we will be introducing a puppy to the mix.

David- thanks for the response. I am not going to draw any conclusions yet. But i wanted to share what I have experienced so far like the OP requested. Also, she refuses to take her medication. NOTHING works, no pill pockets, hidden pills in treats. Shes an expert at isolating the medication and spitting it out. Again, she does not appear to be in pain. I mentioned that she is ultra hyper, shes incredibly playful. infact, when i mentioned earlier that she no longer responds to my "no", my roommate pointed out that she looks like she thinks i am playing with her. i guess is i had to describe the difference from before she got spayed and today, i would say that her personality is heightened.

I love the Oocam's razor explanation. Kelly could be acting like a pill from the restricted activity giving her "ants in the pants disease".
Karen, that reminds me of the dog park where you can see lots of dogs suddenly assume this very tense or rigid posture just before deciding to mount another dog (right before a scuffle). That's where you can avoid fights, by intervening when (or before) you see them t-off and the one dog arch it's neck up. Call that dog off or distract it/remove it from the group so it knows that behavior isn't acceptable playing. Playful mounting is different, but that sudden shift when they become very tense and focused can cause trouble."Common sense isn't so common"

I think a session (evaluation) or few with a certified behaviorist is a fantastic idea. It really helps to get to understand a dog you've not had all that long - it really helped me with my rescued male shiba who we had for 4 months without incident (already neutered) then one day BAM dog fight with another male. We know how to read him much better now and understand what he tries to tell us even in the single moments leading up to a possible altercation.
Is she not spayed yet because she's in heat?
April 2009
Posts: 390
Yes, she went into heat just a few days before her scheduled surgery, so the vet has advised even though her heat is over to give her a few weeks for the swelling to go down.
I'm bummed because I could have put Kahlo through a very extensive real-life training class, but because of major schedule conflicts I'm missing out on the spring sessions...I'm hoping for a summer session though. This would be with the behaviorist we are planning on using.

At long last the sun is out and seems here to stay. I feel like I had to wait about as long for consistent sunshine as I have been waiting for women to earn as much as their male counterparts.
Sadly we are still waiting on the later.
We have 8o + degrees in the forecast for as long as the forecast, well, forecasts. Imagine that.
Still there are forces that plot against me. Like yesterday for example, when I had just plodded down to our pool (think built in 1973 and in desperate need of a remodel, which costs $30K we don't have…) with my ice water, book, and knitting project…had just hosed the dust and grime off my precious pool floaty from its last use last summer…seemingly ages ago…had just finished nibbling on the unimaginably sweet strawberries that grow blissfully adjacent the pool steps… when the pool pump clicked on (it's on a timer) and a fountain of water began to spout from the roof of the pool house.
The solar heating system sprang a leak.
So the water was a bit chillier than I preferred, but I suffered along nonetheless. This did mean that all the laps I had intended to swim didn't get swum. The water was just too cold for all that back and forth.
I couldn't help it.
The fact that I had to lay around and float in quiet bliss without moving a muscle was beyond my control.
In the plus side of productivity, I finished up the side seams on my purple tank…the project's nearly complete. I meant to take photos but forgot…will try to take tonight and update this post soon. I don't know why I didn't catch on to this whole concept of poolside knitting ages ago.
Although it does infringe on my reading time, so there's that.
The heat also means we have arrived at the time of year where I feel like I spend an inordinate amount of time setting up and rearranging sprinklers just so, ensuring all the flowers and other living things have the perfect amount of water at just the right time.
This basically takes forever, causing me to hate all those pictures of lush gardens that catch my eye in Martha Stewart Living each month. Apparently THOSE gardens enjoy automatic watering systems that are well, better, than mine.
And their husband don't nag them as much about the water bill each month.
All the same, I will take the heat any day. Bring it on.
