Barack Obama - "Punished with a baby!"
This is an examination of Barack Obama's infamous quote in which he said that if his daughters were to get pregnant by "mistake" that he didn't want them "punished with a baby!" Obama thinks some babies are "punishments" for "mistakes." What a contrast to Sarah Palin who accepted her daughter's baby and her own Downes Syndrome baby with open loving arms.

Your comments are welcome!
You mischaracterize Sen. Obama's point, which was about his concern that his girls get pregnant as teenagers prior to marriage or contracting a STD, abortion was not a topic of discussion nor was it even implied. Here is the full context of his reply to a question:
I would argue that most rational parents would not want their unwed teenage daughters having sex as Obama clearly implied in his statement that you chose to not include in your quotemine. I would also argue that many rational parents would concede that if they did have sex, they'd prefer they not contract a STD or get pregnant from such an encounter. That was Obama's point. You may not agree with these positions, but I assume you would agree they are respectful, arguable positions for rational parents looking out for their child's best interests to take.
By contrasting Obama's incomplete statement with Gov. Palin's last pregnancy and using an audio clip that cuts off the full context, you strongly imply that Obama is referring to a personal desire of his that his teenage child have the right to abort her baby and his desire she do so (please note I did not use a "OR" operator, but instead an "AND" operator). That was certainly my understanding of your post prior to my doing some research at a factchecker site to discover the truth. You clearly mischaracterize his point in this specific clip, pretty disingenuous.
I call this bearing false witness. I also call it propaganda.
Certainly Obama's use of the word, "punish" was a poor choice of words. Given it was a verbal response used once, I forgive him just like I would politicians who I oppose who are caught misspeaking (e.g, Sen. McCain's statement about not meeting with Spain being one of many). If I were to expect perfect standards from all politicos, than McCain, President Bush 43 or Palin would go down in flames relative to their opponents and if we expected perfection on every ad hoc statement they make. This is a standard I do not set on obvious one-time verbal miscues though I have extremely high standards for honesty; in fact I counted Palin lying or making a false assertion forty-two times in her debate with Sen. Biden to his six. Post debate I discovered that others found three Palin lies I missed.
If Obama were to use this phrase continuously in his verbal talking points or use it from written text; that would be a matter of concern. But it wasn't, it was an ad hoc statement whose central point was benign and reasonable, i.e., he doesn't want his kids having sex, or contracting an STD or getting pregnant if they did.
Gov. Palin has been recorded lying aprox. 16 times, this number has been validated by the legitimate media, please see Andrew Sullivan's blog given that he is keeping track. My lie count in the debate remains unvalidated by the press though I'm comfortable defending my findings. Many of these lies have been continually repeated even after being fisked. Her latest lie was in her debate in which she claimed that she led and supported Alaska disinvestment in Sudan assets when in fact she was the primary power who opposed and killed the proposal for disinvestment (that was one of the lies I missed in my count). I don't see any blogs on your post about the lack of honesty for Gov. Palin, not a concern I assume? Bearing false witness is A-OK if your promoting a social conservative; is that how it works? And yes, I know, you're voting for the "Constitution" Party candidate. However it's pretty obvious you promote an Obama loss and a McCain/Palin victory, even if they need help by lying for them.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

Hurricane Sandy delays Christmas City's decorating

Damage from hurricane Sandy is also making holiday decorating in the Christmas city difficult.
City officials say the storm damage caused Bethlehem's Electrical Bureau to shift its resources to repairing signal lights and street lights.
This caused a major decorating set back but officials say they are catching up.
Most of downtown is already decorated and officials say they expect to have the outskirts of town finished by the end of this week.

Jin Jong-Oh wins Olympic 10m air pistol gold for South Korea
South Korea's Jin Jong-Oh took gold in the Olympic men's 10m air pistol event at the Royal Artillery Barracks.
Carrying over a four-point lead from the qualification round, Jin rarely looked in danger of being caught.
He won with a score of 688.2 - 6.9 points shy of the world record.
Italy's Luca Tesconi's excellent form in the 10-shot final saw him recover from fifth place to snatch silver on 685.8 points, while Serbia's Andrija Zlatic took bronze with 685.2.
China's defending Olympic champion, Pang Wei, had a disappointing final, and dropped from second to fourth.
BBC Sport commentator David Oates's analysis
It was a thrilling final that went right down to the wire. The world number one did enough and he held his nerve and finished with a remarkable flourish. It really was magnificent shooting.
Jin, who won silver in the event at the Beijing Games four years ago in addition to gold in the 50m pistol discipline, came to London as one of the favourites, having won the Asian Championship earlier this year.
The 32-year-old, known as the 'Undaunted Man', held a 4.4-point lead at the halfway stage of the final but that was gradually cut to 1.3 as Tesconi, an Italian police officer, produced some fantastic shooting under pressure.
But with his last effort, a fantastically composed Jin - who will seek to retain his 50m title on 5 August - scored a near-perfect 10.8 points to wrap up victory.
He said: "I am very happy because it is a first gold medal for Korea, and personally it is very meaningful.
"I think getting off to a good start is important, and I hope this medal will be a spur and inspire Team Korea to more success at these Games."
The man expected to push Jin all the way, China's Tan Zongliang, earlier failed narrowly to qualify for the final.
After only finishing third in Beijing, Tan publicly apologised on Chinese television for his performance.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Britain's economy is too weak to produce a sustainable recovery, the British Chambers of Commerce warned on Tuesday, as a survey showed construction activity fell at its fastest pace in two-and-a-half years in June.
The gloomy outlook makes grim reading for the government and Bank of England who are facing increasing calls to kick-start growth in the recession-hit economy.
Trade group BCC said its economic survey of around 8,000 businesses suggested only marginal growth in the second quarter, in line with a 0.1 percent forecast in a Reuters poll.
"While domestic growth continues to bump along the bottom, the silver lining is an increase in firms looking for export opportunities, and in many cases, with countries outside Europe," said John Longworth, director general of the BCC.
The BCC predicts economic growth of just 0.1 percent for 2012 but say it will pick up to 1.9 percent in 2013 on an upturn in exports to countries outside Europe.
Businesses' confidence was still lower than before the crisis in 2007, and plans by manufacturers to invest in plant and machinery fell, the BCC's survey showed. However, a rise in exports - especially to countries outside the euro zone - provided a glimmer of hope.
But with minimal growth ahead at best, and only a mild improvement this quarter from London's hosting of the Olympic Games, the BoE is widely seen restarting its quantitative easing (QE) asset purchase programme.
The central bank is expected to top up the 325 billion pounds of cash it has already pumped into markets with another 50 billion when it meets on Thursday as falling inflation gives it more scope to support the battered economy.
"The latest quarterly economic survey from the BCC suggests that the economy remains sluggish. The activity readings are not as weak as shown by the official GDP data, but do suggest that the economylacks momentum," said Michael Saunders at Citi.
Saunders also pointed out that effective interest rates for loans to small businesses as well as for mortgages kept rising, despite the BoE's ultra-loose monetary policy, adding another constraint to growth.
The government and the central bank are trying to get credit flowing through the economy by easing banks' funding costs, which are driven up by the uncertainties over the euro zone.
But the BCC urged the government to be bold. "Growth cannot wait. The government must take an imaginative and brave approach to stimulating the economy and helping businesses thrive," Longworth said.
Britain fell back into recession around the turn of the year and a string of weak economic data has pointed to another quarter of contraction between April and June.
Construction, which was the biggest drag on the economy during the first three months of 2012, suffered its biggest monthly decline since February 2009 when stock markets were crashing, a survey showed.
The Markit/CIPS Construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) sank to 48.2 from 54.4 in May, below the 50 level which separates growth from contraction.
Factories also cut back on activity in both May and June, while a PMI poll of firms in the dominant service sector due on Wednesday is expected to show only tepid growth.
Domestic demand is weak but the BCC survey found an improvement in exporting activity, particularly to countries outside of battered Europe - Britain's main trading partner.
The increase in exports will provide some cheer for the government, which is trying to rebalance Britain's economy away from a reliance on public spending and consumer demand.
Lending to consumers picked up in May and mortgage approvals fell less than forecast, BoE data showed, but the overall environment for consumer credit remains weak as the economy struggles with tight credit conditions.
"It's just more of the same. Why would anyone expect anything else, the household sector is up to its eyeballs in debt, it's trying to de-leverage and this process is going to run for several more years," saidRoss Walker at RBS.

Radiant and glowing
Posted 11/25/2014 by Lv
I have been using this product for 12 years.
It was first recommended by my dermatologist
and I have never looked back. It is the best antioxidant
you will ever use. My skin glows!!!
Terrific Product
Posted 11/24/2014 by Cindi
Really great! Love how it helps the skin in the dry Colorado air.
Love this!
Posted 11/23/2014 by Ling
I have been using CEF for about half year and it really makes me look more radiant. It works perfectly when combining with B5. Will continue to use.
Posted 11/22/2014 by TAOSMADISON
My dermatologist first recommended this product as part of my skin care regime. It is simply the best product I have ever used
for my skin. I use it under my sunscreen/moisturizer and it really has worked wonders! My dark spots all but gone and keeping them at bay with antioxidants that it supplies helps protect my skin from any further sun damage I have sensitive skin and this is not an issue with this product either. It is "SIMPLY THE BEST PRODUCT"!!!
Skinceuticals CE Feurelic
Posted 11/19/2014 by RS
I've been using this product for years - that is after trying almost every other top name Vit C on the market . This CE Ferulic is by far the best antioxident I've ever used. It makes my face glow, keeps my skin young looking, isn't sticky, and blends well with my other products.
I will continue to use Skinceuticals CE Ferulic!!
One of my favorite products
Posted 11/18/2014 by sunshine
My job keeps me outdoors and along with sunblock, this product definitely gives my skin extra protection when I'm out in the sun.
Just started to use it
Posted 11/16/2014 by Kasia
It is hard to say what the long term effect are going to be, but it seems to make my face feel nice and smooth. The fragrance is awful and the skin is a little tacky after application, but I hope it will work wonders as after only 4 weeks, I can see some results -- radiance and fewer lines.
This really works!
Posted 11/16/2014 by ttpp
This is the first product I've ever used that I can see it really works. My pores are smaller than before! Although it's pricy, but I'll definitely purchase this again!
Vitamin C E.
Posted 11/15/2014 by Barbara
I've been using this product for years and will continue to. Skinceuticals keeps my skin looking great and I don't ever look my age. People can't belive I'm 59. I do look 20 yrs. younger.
Best Antioxidant on the market
Posted 11/14/2014 by TennisMom
I have been using this for just over a year and I notice a difference with my skin. My skin feels tight and the color is even; I use it every day.
I love this serum!
Posted 11/14/2014 by Jennifer
This is an excellent serum that is easy to apply. It soaks right in so you can moisturize quickly.
I have been using it for many years and it keeps my skin tone even.
Thanks for the discounts pricing SkinCareRx.
Great product and quick shipment
Posted 11/13/2014 by Mila
I've been looking for this product for some time and SkincareRX had the best price! Fast shipping also!
great product
Posted 11/4/2014 by mimi
I love Skinceutical CE ferulic I have mature skin and it helps keep it fresh and tight The product is al little pricey but worth every penny
Good results
Posted 11/4/2014 by Sue
I've only been using for a week or so, but I really like what I see. Expensive but I think it will be worth it.
Has No Equal
Posted 10/11/2014 by kathleen
I was hesitant to spend this much money on an antioxidant, but after reading others' experiences, I decided to give it a try. After a trial of several months, I can truly say I am very glad I did. I am 66 years old and my friends frequently ask what I use on my skin as I have very minimal wrinkling. This brand is wonderful and I look forward to trying more products. Love SkincareRX prices!
Great product
Posted 9/21/2014 by Cin
Great product, I can see the change on my skin. would buy it again
Amazing ~~
Posted 9/11/2014 by Razzledazzle7
I have sensitive skin and was reluctant to try a Vitamin C product. However, I have been using this for approximately nine months and am quite happy with the results. I must say that I did not seen improvement right away. I decided to be consistent and give the product ample time to work. I am so glad that I did. My sun spots/damage have lightened considerably and my skin looks brighter and firmer. I also apply the Skinceuticals B5 gel over the serum. The products work great together! I really appreciate SkincareRX's discount offers and their customer service is great!
Worth the money and more
Posted 9/6/2014 by Laura
Love this product. I use daily and it has improved the texture of my skin remarkably. Only use two drops to cover entire face. Last for some time.
Posted 5/5/2014 by claudia brennan
I am not a stranger to trying different products to improve the look and texture of my skin. This product is pricey but I went for it and am glad that I did. I am close to 70 yrs and can hardly believe the results that I got within a week.. I have very light skin and have never been able to tan but of course over the years have gotten some sun damage. Tried a few other products but did not have good results. This product feels good on my face; has brightened the skin especially under my eyes to the point where I don't have to wear make up everyday. I will buy this product again.
Love product
Posted 5/4/2014 by Cindy
Love the product, within 2 weeks of using I was receiving compliments but I have a hard time with the odor and a little stickiness
Great Protection and Correction
Posted 8/25/2013 by Stefanie
This is absolutely the best antioxidant serum I have ever used, and I have tried a lot of them. Does it smell like fireworks/bacon? Yes. Can it make you shiny? Yes. (But it is more of a glassy shine than an oily sheen.) But it more than makes up for these minor issues by being unbelievably effective at providing protection, radiance, and firmness. When I ran out of CE Ferulic and didn't use it for a few weeks I could definitely see a difference, and when I started using it again, I had immediate improvement and even strangers commented on how great my skin looked. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but it's one of those products that is absolutely worth the price.
Many compliments
Posted 1/10/2013 by Greta
I'm a 48-year-old female with combination skin, and since I started using Skinceuticals' C E Ferulic, I've gotten many compliments about my skin. It feels tighter and glows. I don't appreciate the fact, though, that Skincare Rx sends emails with pictures of C E Ferulic on it, saying '20% off!' only to discover upon checkout that the picture of C E Ferulic was only a tease. Please be honest and transparent - show us pictures of products that are valid for discount. Respect your customers. (Thanks!)
Posted 1/8/2013 by OTGG
I have sensitive skin prone to hormonal breakouts. I started using skinceuticals age and blemish serum in the morning after my toner and their retinal 0.5 at night. I also have hyperpigmentation and I want to use this product. Do I stop using the blemish stuff or the retinol?
It works!
Posted 9/25/2012 by Anonymous
OMG! After years of trying so many product that did not work, I finally found this product which I saw results the next day. I have suffered from hyperpigmentation all my life and this product is working and no break outs. Yeah!
Quick Tips
Posted 7/21/2012 by T
Do not leave it sitting on the counter exposed to daylight; keep it in a drawer. Do not keep the top of the bottle off for any length of time because air oxidizes it as well. This product smells like liquid hot dogs, but the smell dissipates because you apply other products over it like moisturizer and sunblock, after waiting 5 minutes. This is mainly a preventative treatment. It's a boost to your sunblock and protects your skin better than sunblock alone. It also neutralizes free radicals to prevent further pigmentation. I do like this product a lot and highly recommend it. I just wish it was packaged in an airless pump bottle.
Mother's Day Gift
Posted 5/9/2012 by Cynthia Knisley
I would love to give this product to my mother for Mother's Day. It is a great product for older women
Expensive but Indispensible
Posted 8/24/2011 by HACLA
Don't let the price point throw you off. I have been a Retin A (Zianna) user for years coupled with hydroquinone at night. Because I am diligent the brown spots I have are not very noticeable with or without makeup. But I notice them. I have used a myriad of 'antioxidant' products, moisturizers, serums, etc. This stuff is amazing - and the results are obvious. It did not sting or bother my skin in the least but I have noticed a distinct improvement in the texture and discoloration. I put it on in the morning after I wash my face. I've been using it through sample sizes for a month and I just plunked down the $150 for it yesterday. Happily. Give it a try. You won't be sorry.
Posted 8/5/2011 by nurhan
great product and nice smell. I used to hate the smell but now i even kind of like it. the product is great. definitely makes the skin eventoned and furthermore it also strengthens the skin i believe. also good for acne i think. it made my hand ( the one i spoil it) a yellow to brownish color)
It does have an odd smell - but it works!
Posted 6/26/2011 by AlainaD
I do agree that this product has a smell when you initially put it on, but it does dissipate. Unfortunately, later in the day, it starts to smell funny again. It DOES work, and works well, so the smell is something I just deal with.
Tied for the best Vitamin C on the market
Posted 3/13/2011 by LS
I have tried them all...this and the Vivier CE Kinerol (which unfortunately skincarerx does not sell, but hopefully will in the future!) are the best. Both really brighten and make a noticeable difference in the appearance of your skin--including fine lines. This has ferulic acid, which gives it an edge over Vivier. Very gentle--does not sting upon application--something I have noticed can happen with other C products. An expensive, but worthwhile investment if you want healthier looking skin. This is one product I cannot go without.
Posted 2/24/2011 by s
the comments smelling like bacon and hot dogs are hilarious-- but this product is great. i have really problem skin with some older scarring. i don't feel like this product or any from skin ceuticals is going to make any drastic difference on older problems (you may want to use something more aggressive first, either product or peels from a doctor), but bar none this stuff is worth every penny at hydrating and balancing the skin. your skin will be at it's health potential after using any of these products. i have used alpha aha, ce feurlic, photo , the sunblock... all great.
Posted 2/21/2011 by neroli
After using CEF for at least three bottles, I think I am qualified to write a review. I have oily skin and breakout sometimes. I use this product every morning after toner, and wait few minutes to apply lotion and sunscreen. Compared to other Vitamin C product I have used, this one does not clog my pore or make me breakout. My skin looks eventoned much better and light wrinkles become invisible.Greatly recommend to everybody.
Greatest Ever
Posted 1/31/2011 by Judy
Been using this product for 8 years or so & orginally ordered from a plastic surgeon in Stockton, CA. Recently started ordering from 'SkinCareRx' with better pricing & shipping. This is a must have for anyone wanting to look younger & fresher..... I use daily...without a miss...& love it (There is surely NO smell to this wonderful product)
I Love this Serum!!
Posted 1/19/2011 by Christine C
This has NEVER been smelly for me. I get a lot of compliments of how good my skin looks and how young I look. For those reasons I will keep using this serum. I love the way it goes on, I feel it is absorbed very quickly. I've used this for at least 4 years.
Great product!
Posted 12/20/2010 by Sarah
I immediately started seeing results with this product! The most noticeable change was my pore size. I bought this product because my face was starting to look dull and my pores looked huge every time I put on my makeup. Sure, it's expensive, but it lasts a long time and is worth every penny.....As for the smell, it is not bad at all! Like the comment below, it smells like coffee beans...
Great, but smelly!
Posted 11/23/2010 by Jennifer A
Yes this product does have an interesting smell.... like burnt coffee beans? BUT after just one week of use my skin looks great, my husband noticed instantly! My skin is healthier, my pores are much better looking and my face is overall more youthfull looking. I don't mind the splurge if it keeps me looking great!!!
Amazing - so many things in one product!
Posted 10/4/2010 by Amber
This is by far my favorite product. It has vitamin C, E and other ingredients that are amazing for the skin. I bought the Obaji C 10% serum and then realized that this product has vitamin c in it, as well. Vitamin C is 'L-ascorbic acid'. I've been using this product for the past few months and absolutely love it. I can't use other SkinCeutical products(break out from it for some reason & I never break out), but this product is my addiction. :)
Posted 9/13/2010 by David
I have used this product for many years - it is the best on the market. IT SHOULD NOT BE SMELLY! It should be clear and have only a mild odor. It does age, and should be used within a year of opening. Even unopened, it will go bad, so if yours arrives and is not a clear liquid, send it back. The product does appear to work properly even after it turns smelly.
5 Stars
Posted 8/29/2010 by Lindance
I bought this from the Dr. and it DOES smell like bacon, but my skin is amazing. I'll be buying from SkincareRX from now on. My pores are tighter and complexion is much smoother. Love it!
Very good!
Posted 7/25/2010 by Anonymous
I received a sample of 5ml from SkincareRX. So far this is one of the best serum I ever tried. Although the smell is not that pleasant, considering the component, vitamine c and e, I could accept the smell. After 1 week used only at night, I could tell my skin get brighter and smoother.
The Best
Posted 5/20/2010 by Anonymous
I'm 60 years old and have been using this product since 2005. Just recently started ordering from 'SkinCareRx', which is cheaper and super fast on shipping. At any rate, do not wait another day to order this product. You will love the feel and results...after a short time you will surely see the huge difference
So far so good~
Posted 4/19/2010 by Kim
It does have a funky smell...like hotdogs, but my skin looks brighter and smoother.
Amazing for sun protection
Posted 3/17/2010 by Jill
The antioxidants in this are absolutely awesome for sun protection. I have extremely sun sensitive skin (I burn in about 10 minutes in the sun) and I wore it as my serum every day on my trip to Peru underneath my daily SPF 15 moisturizer. My face didn't get burned at all at 12,000 feet above sea level being in the sun all day every day. If you put a good moisturizer and sunscreen over it, you don't notice the stickiness (just don't overdo the 4-5 drops).
The Color
Posted 2/18/2010 by Anonymous
Also the stuff that i got from the Doctor was clear in color and had no smell but the stuff that i bought from this website is yellow looking and has a really strong bacon smell , really nasty .
The Smell
Posted 2/10/2010 by Heather
I got some of the same exact stuff from the Doctor and it had no smell what so ever . I bought some from this site and it smells horrible . It is the same stuff it's just that the stuff from this site smells horrible . What is going on ? Do they let it get old before they send it out . Trust me something is not right .
Great Product!!

I tried a sample of the CEFerulic last night and woke up to smoother skin.The next day my skin looked smoother,I think I will buy this product.
Posted 2/21/2008 by Anonymous
I had been using the AOX+ 20 serum, but this is better. I did not find it sticky, but I only use 3 or 4 drops. The vitamin E makes it more moisturizing that now I dont need a moisturizer between this and my sunscreen. No clogs, no breakouts. Im using this for preventive measures, though if it fades some old acne spots I'll be thrilled!
can't beleive its working so fast
Posted 1/30/2008 by Meghan
well I got this because I knew i was at an age where my skin was starting to look a little weathered- (37) so I did a lot of research and bought this. Its has only been one week and people are already commenting that my skin looks smoother and more even toned. I love the way it feels, the way my make up goes on. its just great. worth the money. someone even told me i looked less tired. that made my day. i love this stuff. and everyone is right, DO not put too much on. just a very little is enough.
The Best!
Posted 1/10/2008 by Laina
This is absolutely the best skincare line! I use the CE Ferulic follwed by the B5 Gel every morning. There is no stickiness if you use the correct amount. It doesn't take much. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin glowing all day. I have oily, sensitive skin, and this line has completely changed my complexion. The price is high, but worth every penny.
I love this skin line!!
Posted 1/4/2008 by Pamela
I absolutely love this product as well as the B5. It makes my skin look so youthful (I'm 39) and radiant. I am a life long sunworshipper and I can't believe the difference in my skin since starting these products about six months ago. No more hyperpigmentation, no more crows feet and my skin feels amazing. I highly recommend this line to anyone looking to age gracefully. I have searched my entire 30's for a product line that actually did what it said...and I found it.

I'm one of those who has spent lots of $$ on SkinCare products since I was in my 20's now in my 40's and have been using Skinceuticals since 1999 when I was introduced to it at an upscale hair salon. Really, have tried to use other products to see if they work better since this one is expensive, but NEVER have found a substitute. I really do look younger than most women my age and I believe at least 30-40% of that could be attributed to this product. It definitely lessens wrinkles, firms the areas where my skin is losing elasticity around my jawline, and gives my skin a more even tone. I use it at night before going to bed faithfully. THANKS A MILLION, it's worth it!

July election results for directors on Nebraska Soybean Board
The Nebraska Soybean Board held an election in July for the Director Seat in District 7. Nebraska soybean farmers in that district voted with the following results:
District 7—Counties consisting of Adams, Buffalo, Clay, Franklin, Hall, Kearney, Nuckolls and Webster:
Ron Pavelka—Glenvil, Nebraska, Adams County, 161 votes (elected);
Keith Keller—Harvard, Nebraska, Clay County, 87 votes; and
Bill Miller—Upland, Nebraska, Franklin County, 116 votes.
The re-elected director, Ron Pavelka, will begin his second term on the board.
Daryl Obermeyer, a soybean farmer from Brownville, Nebraska—Nemaha County—ran unopposed, therefore he becomes the District 5 director. Obermeyer will represent soybean farmers in Cass, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee and Richardson counties. This is his first term serving on the Nebraska Soybean Board.
Greg Anderson, a soybean farmer from Newman Grove, Nebraska, was elected to the At-Large Position by the Nebraska Soybean Board members at the July meeting. Anderson will begin his first term.
These board members will bring with them a wealth of experience from local leadership roles. "We commend these farmer-leaders for the commitment of their time, energy and effort to help increase demand for Nebraska soybeans," said Victor Bohuslavsky, Nebraska Soybean Board, executive director.
The elected directors will serve a three-year term beginning Oct. 1, 2014, and ending Sept. 30, 2017.

Milton Keynes, U...
The theme for part of my hen do (the bit were we go out to a nightclub and everyone tries to ply me with drink) is 40s pin up sailor girl (which was my idea). We'r off to a Burlesque club in London so we'll fit right in.
Rather than just buy a dress or some high waisted shorts and a cute 40s style nautical blouse (from Vivian of Holloway or Tara Starlet for example) I decided to make my outfit (NATURALLY!).
One of all time favourite films is Calamity Jane. Not for the Calamity Jane bits of the story but the Adalaide Adams and Katie Brown performance bits. I'm surprised I wasn't beckoned into a life of performance.
SO it seemed an obvious choice to take the opportunity to make a nautical version of the pink and gold corset. the film was made in the early 50s so I figure I can get away with it. At any rate, I'm the bride so I can wear what i want! ;0
Any hoo – at this stage in the game (20 June) I'm not quite finished with the outfit and have a few tweaks to make. But I am biting at the bit to share my efforts thus far.
I used Butterick Pattern 4254 (4 styles) Ladies Stays and Corset Pattern sizes 6 to 10.
*Still to do:
-At royal blue chiffon ruffle to the top of the cup
-Add lining to the 'skirt' part
-'Bustle' up the sides of the 'skirt' part of the outfit.
-Make myself some ruffley knickers/hotpants to go underneath
-Sew the red trim to the top of the corset (just pinned on in the pictures)
-If I've got time (I've got a week to finish it) make a sailor fabric 'necklace' (so square in the back and comes into a point at the front)
-Make the 'bustle' at the back (in the image where Katie is side on)
Please note – in the last image I've not tightened the corset so it won;t be that 'up and down' when it's complete.
Silk (Dupion), courtil, steel spiral boning, boning casing, muslin, taffeta lining material, red beaded trim, royal blue poly-chiffon
Sep 6, 2013, 08.57 AMby blueshoegal
In the end I decided the ruffles looked too much and I ran out of time to modify them – so I just went with the red beading.

Conferences that explore emerging thought leadership are an enjoyable place for a cultural ethnographer. We understand the world through common language, metaphors and reference points. When you're making something new, like social innovation, you invite an intellectual struggle to organize ideas in our collective mind. Results being the occasional euphoria of a new idea, as well as the confusion of speaking at crossed purposes. The spectrum of self-identified social innovators on parade at the Social Innovation Summit Silicon Valley 2014 gives up much for study.
Understanding the spectrum of self-identified social innovators
First, we have "social innovation natives" like Kiva, Code for America and DonorsChoose.org. In my mind, these organizations define social innovation; they are dedicated to designing products, services and, indeed, companies that fundamentally improve society by re-designing its operating systems. Social innovation is their modus operandi. And there "social innovation re-modelers" — companies, foundations and philanthropists very large and somewhat small, drawn to identify with social innovation for a variety of curious reasons. Parsing these out was an entertaining exercise.Click to continue reading »

"I purchased your Sleep Track program in November 2011. I was experiencing waking up in the middle of the night without being able to get back to sleep for quite a while. I followed your directions about lisenting to Whole Night every day for 2 months. I am extremely happy to report that I can now sleep well and go back to sleep easily when waking in the middle of the night.
I routinely play the Whole Night cd on a repeat setting throughout the night. 99% of the time I am able to sleep 7+ hours. The few rare occurrences that I cannot fall back to sleep are isolated incidents that are followed by a good night's rest the following night. THANK YOU GREATLY!
P.S. I also enjoy using your Anxiety Ease cd when meditating during the day."
"Thank you so much for SleepTracks. They literally saved my life.
I had sleeping problems for about 10 years, but one year they inexplicably became terribly worse. For 2 years I tried everything, sleeping pills, light therapy, behavior therapy, doctors, sleep studies, nothing helped. I could barely function at work and almost lost my job for it. I couldn't work a full work-week so I always had to take leave without pay and my paychecks decreased substantially, creating a huge economic stress for me. I couldn't maintain any kind of social life.
I suffered from depression as a result of everything. The extreme hopelessness I felt, believing there was no hope of things getting better was unbearable. Almost every day for 2 years I tried to do my own research on a cure, thinking maybe I missed something last time I looked for answers, maybe this one time I'll find something different. I became suicidal but stumbled across the SleepTracks site and told myself this was my last time trying. If it didn't work, I would take my own life.
I've been using SleepTracks for over a year now. I'm still amazed at how effective is has been for me when nothing else worked. It's been so long since I felt like my life belonged to me, but I finally have it back. Words cannot express how grateful I am for your program and how it has changed my life, all I can say is thank you. So a million times over, and for the rest of my life…thank you."
"I was diagnosed Bipolar and given sleeping pills (Lunesta). They worked for about a year and then I stopped sleeping all of a sudden. I tried everything–meds (Ambien, rosarem, trasidone, sonata, etc) and over the counter junk (unisom, tylenol pm). I felt terrible and everything was getting worse and worse. I even tried another sleep CD program that just made the mania of my bipolar off the charts. What I was doing was actually making me sleep worse and feel terrible.
When I saw the SleepTrack information I thought it looked like a good, solid, comprehensive program that made a lot of sense. I wasn't sure it would work for me because of my bipolar but I was willing to try it. I put the mp3 on and after a couple of nights I was falling asleep in five minutes or less! I have used it every night since–almost a year now. I love it. I wake up feeling rested and refreshed, like when I was in my 20's. Thank you SleepTracks!"
"I don't think I have ever written a fan letter for a product before. I set your "Whole Night w Music.mp3" track on my iPhone to continuously repeating and put it in my little speaker-dock when I go to sleep. It's amazing!
I have used one type or another prescription sleep medication for 10 years and gave them up about 6 months ago because of the expense and because they made me feel like a drug addict. While I would never go back to them–especially cos they stopped working–I hadn't found anything since until I discovered your product. Now I sleep almost all the way through the night!
I lost one of my freelance jobs a couple of months back because I fell asleep in a meeting. My nerves were constantly frayed and I was constantly on edge and short of patience. I have gone to many doctors and have spent thousands of dollars on medications, both prescription and over the counter. Melatonin? A joke! Tylenol PM? Forget about it! I'm not sure why, but all my life, from the time I was a small child, I have dreaded bedtime. Now I actually look forward to it! Perhaps I am being premature since I've only been using your product for a week, but so far I am VERY impressed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you so much. I can't believe its true. I am a chiropractor and have struggled for the past month with insomnia so bad that some nights I did not sleep at all. For people who have never had this, they will never know how bad it truly is.
I can only confirm the desperation that people have revealed on your website. I have tried what you've said and I'm very pleased. I even gave your web-site to a patient."
"I've been intending to write and just haven't sat down to do it. One reason being I'm sleeping so much better I actually have a life again, thanks to you! It's been just over a month now since I started your program and the change in my sleep is significant. I fall asleep right away. I still have problems with waking up, Most times I get back to sleep quickly and that's really good for me.
I have anxiety issues that have been treated by drugs for much too long. I may have the anxiety because of the drugs! I'm on Clonazepam and Nortriptyline. For almost two years I've tried to get off these medications. I did this without the help of a professional, although I now know that they are clueless about how slowly one must taper.
"I was having alot of anxiety before sleeping and could not fall asleep. Had many many sleepless nights.
I was just playing with the program one afternoon and wanted to listen to the "Power Nap" track. Next thing I knew I was waking up! Fell right asleep without trying. After using the "Fall Asleep" track, I could fall asleep right away. But I didn't realize that I shouldn't be using that one all night. Switched to Whole Night and have been using it ever since.
I can go to sleep with ease now. I just lay and listen to the sounds and next thing I know I am waking up from a nice sleep. I don't suffer from lack of sleep anymore. I keep an IPod with earbuds next to my bed and take it ALWAYS when traveling. The earbuds help block out ambient noise and the sleep tracks keep me sleeping sound
Thank you for your sleep tracks."
"Just wanted you to know that after over 15 years of sleepless nights thanks to your program I now sleep through the night (except for a trip to the bathroom)!
I walked on my tread mill for 30 minutes today simply because I felt such a high after a good night's sleep! I have not use our treadmill for many months. Also, my wife got up 2 hours early with me because she was so thrilled that I slept well.
I am 71 years of age and have battled with sleep for many years. I put in a long day's work 5 days a week. I need my sleep!
Thanks so much!"
"I want to thank you so much for offering your sleep tapes. I have had problems sleeping for the past 10 years. The last three have been a nightmare. I have tried medication, but I can not stand the side effects.
I have tried many tapes, but yours have been magic. I have had them for 5 days and for the 5 nights I have slept all night. I wake up and go back to sleep. I am just using the Insomnia Buster tape. I don't feel I need to do anymore right now. I am afraid that I will jinx myself, so I have not said too much about them to anyone. When my husband says, how did you sleep, I can honestly say I slept good. I can't say thank you enough for your tapes. I have so much energy. I don't feel sluggish or foggy anymore. It is simply amazing!"
"I am absolutely amazed, Yan, that so many of my symptoms have cleared up in less than two weeks, and that is with the sound equipment in a different room to the one I sleep in! I now wonder if the whole cause of my collapse two years ago was insomnia. I have chased up so many alleys trying to solve my health problems, but with sleep tracks it's simple, the real me has come back to life, and I had come to believe she was gone forever.
How can I thank you enough for THAT!
I am recommending you to someone every day, there are a lot of us out there."
UPDATE by email 7 months later: "First you helped me so much with my sleep, I still listen EVERY NIGHT to Whole Night. And then of course my health issues started clearing up…"

Physicians are healing themselves through meditation
Jay Reid, Montreal Gazette: It's not easy to work with critically ill children and stressed-out parents. Doctors who work in pediatric-palliative care do it every day. Conversations with parents are often tense; frustrations can boil over – on both sides.
Pediatrician Stephen Liben knew he needed to figure out how to cope better with the stress. The director of pediatric-palliative care at the Montreal Children's Hospital was finding himself angry or defensive in heated moments with parents.
A calm doctor is a better doctor. He knew he could do better as a physician.
So he decided – reluctantly – to try mindfulness meditation.

Ohio congressman on a mission to bring meditation to the masses
Daniel Burke: By age 35, Congressman Tim Ryan had been one of Ohio's youngest state senators, served two terms in the U.S. Congress and hobnobbed with presidents and prime ministers.

"Work, Sex, Money: Real Life on the Path of Mindfulness" by Chogyam Trungpa
As a long-standing Western Buddhist, my curiosity was piqued by this book. Work, sex and money are crucial issues to all of us, so I was interested to hear what Trungpa said.
Chogyam Trungpa was a major figure in the establishment of Buddhism in the West – particularly in North America. He was the founder of Vajradhatu and the Naropa Institute, two major achievements in themselves. But he did more than this.
Born in Tibet in 1940, and recognised as an infant as a major Kagyu tulku, he intensively trained in monasteries with Jamgon Kongtrul and other eminent teachers, later receiving full ordination. After dramatically escaping Tibet in 1959, he eventually arrived …

A core feature of many religions, meditation is practiced by tens of millions around the world as part of their spiritual beliefs as well as to alleviate psychological problems, improve self-awareness and to clear the mind. Previous research has linked meditation to positive changes in blood pressure, metabolism and pain, but less is known about the specific emotional changes that result from the practice.

The Zen at the heart of Steve Jobs' genius
Frederick E. Allen, Forbes: Walter Isaacson, the biographer of Steve Jobs, has a terrific 6,000-word article out at hbr.org today, and in the forthcoming issue of Harvard Business Review, titled The Real Leadership Lessons of Steve Jobs.

How we use effort to get to a state of effortless meditation
From time to time I'll hear people saying that meditation shouldn't involve effort. For example, Krishnamurti said, "All effort to meditate is the denial of meditation." And I just stumbled upon a website that decried the "arrogance" and "ignorance" of those who say that meditation involves effort, because "Effort is the antithesis of meditation."
It's clear, though, when you look at the Buddha's teachings, that he encouraged us to make effort in meditation, and in our lives generally. His last words, in fact, were "With diligence, strive on."
And in my own meditation I find I have to make effort all the time. I have …

How "letting go" helps us get things done
Joe, a student in my online class, was worried that meditation would hurt his career. He works in a very competitive business where everyone is single-mindedly pushing and driving hard all the time. The whole idea of "letting go" seemed absurd in that context. But at the same time his stress and anxiety levels were sky high. He knew this wasn't a sustainable way to live.
Yes it's true that in meditation, we're told to drop everything and let go. But that doesn't mean becoming passive and ineffectual. There's more to this instruction than meets the eye.

Ex-banker turned Hindu monk urges Wall St to meditate
Tom Heneghan: Rasanath Das, an ex-investment banker turned Hindu monk, was spending recent Sunday afternoons leading Occupy Wall Street protesters in meditation until police cleared their camp at New York's Zuccotti Park this week.
The 32-year-old monk isn't sure now where his next session will be. He'll keep following the protesters to lead meditation, though, convinced they will only roll back the inequality around them if they find equanimity deep inside.

Steve Jobs on death
I'm sad that Steve Jobs has died. No one has had as much effect on the computer industry as he has. His company, Apple, has transformed the way we relate to computers.
I only recently learned that Jobs was a Buddhist. According to his Wikipedia biography, he went to India in the 1970s and came back a Buddhist. In 1991 his wedding ceremony was performed by a Zen priest. He was a very private man, and I don't think he talked much about his religion.
I thought a fitting tribute would be Jobs own words, from his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, in which he eloquently discusses how an awareness of …

Anger Management Requirement for Buying Ammo
There are three possible explanations for why liberals don't just repeal the Second Amendment outright: 1) they don't have the votes, because despite the Hope & Change, close to half of the population is still American; 2) by ignoring it instead of repealing it, they are effectively destroying the entire Constitution by demonstrating that it isn't really in force; and 3) repealing it gradually while harassing and humiliating lawful gun-owners is more fun for petty tyrants:
The bill filed Saturday by [Florida] state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses.
By way of explanation, Gibson gibbers,
"It's about getting people to think, really, about how much ammunition they need. It's a step, I think, in a safer direction. It's about getting people to think before they buy."
With liberal authoritarians, it's always about need, as in, "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Yet if we are free people and pay for it with money we earned, ammo has nothing to do with how much we "need," but rather how much we want — which target shooting enthusiasts will agree is as much as we can afford.
From the outrageous bill:
"It is unlawful to: A) Sell ammunition to another person who does not present certification that he or she has successfully completed an anger-management program consisting of at least 2 hours of online or face-to-face instruction in anger-management techniques," the bill reads. "The certification must be renewed every 10 years."
Gibson needs to receive face-to-face instruction on the US Constitution.
Meanwhile, as wannabe dictators waste everyone's time trying to force gun-owners to jump through degrading hoops, Florida's foreclosure rates are the highest in the nation. Dealing with actual problems isn't as enjoyable as making life less pleasant for people libs don't like.
