I absolutely love this product. I have acne-prone combination skin for which I use Duac Once Daily gel at night. Although I moisturise morning and night (using Liz Earle products) I am still left with dry skin patches on my cheeks and chin from the Duac, particularly around some of the larger cystic spots. My foundation usually clings to these areas making it impossible to conceal them. After seeing Lisa Eldridge use this as a primer in her acne-covering makeup tutorial, I picked some up at a local chemist for £13. I have used it over my morning moisturiser for the past two mornings and it really does provide a fantastic base for foundation, smoothing over all of those dry patches so that my foundation is a lot easier to apply and provides a more even coverage. I wouldn't say that it provides any oil control, but it doesn't claim to. For the price, I would say that it is a fantastic product for priming dry patches of skin before foundation and I will definitely be repurchasing (although this tube should last me a good few months as very little is required).

I saw this used by Lisa Eldridge in her acne concealing tutorial and she said it made a good make up primer for combination skin.
I wholeheartedly agree, this beats Laura Gellar's Spackle or any other primer product I've used hands down.
It keeps the flaky patchy dry bits smooth and doesn't over moisturise the oilier bits. Liquid foundation goes on perfecty when applied with a damp sponge to blend it out.
Have already re-purchased this little gem, only 12 in pharmacies but bafflingly priced at nearly 18 in Boots.

I bought this after reading reviews online. 1 site even claimed it acted well as a makeup base. My skin was not in good shape, didn't look good, dry but breaking out because I was using too many products and kept thinking I had to use harsh products to "kill" my acne. Wrong! I switched to a milder soap and tried the Cicaplast. 1st application was fine, 2nd application my face became beet red for 15-20 minutes. I didn't understand what was happening until a friend of mine said that when her skin is very dry, any cream she puts on it burns. OHH.....lightbulb! With continued use, the less my skin was red and the better, smoother it looked. I love applying it over any acne I might have since it helps my "concealer" (cover fx cream foundation) smoothly cover the acne better than using nothing at all, and seems to create a nice barrier between my skin and my makeup. So it heals the skin and help makeup application over skin imperfections.
I gave a small sample container to someone I know who has eczema and she loved it so much she went out to buy a tube for herself.

I purchased this product after reading the reviews on this site - for years I have had very dry lips that crack and peel, and I have used everything under the sun to try and keep them hydrated and smooth to no avail. I don't know why this happens, but it does. Every now and then I end up with what are possibly cold sores, but also non healing sores on my lips that take ages to disappear. I find these make me incredibly self conscious and trying to conceal them just makes it worse. I wanted to find something that would speed up the healing process and reduce the scar tissue that I always get afterwards (leading to more dry and flaky skin).
This product really did speed up the healing process for me, however this can be a long process anyway as sometimes the skin on my lips cracks and then needs to re-heal. But it was noticeably faster, and as the skin was healing it was in much better condition and less scar tissue was evident. My lips were still covered in sores only 4 days ago and are now healed and smooth all over, not dry or peeling either. I think this was a brilliant buy and I would definitely purchase it again and am looking forward to having it on hand 'just in case'. Despite being hesitant about the price given the size of the product, you only need to use the smallest amount so this will last for ages. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy this product as a makeup primer; it's softens, conditions, and evens out texture, all while providing a nice dewy finish. It does a great job preventing my foundation/tm from catching on flaky skin as well. I also enjoy that it's a nourishing to one's skin as well! Will definitely repurchase!
the first day i tried this product, i woke up the next morning and got no tightness around my mouth area. that's a first in a very, very long time. wow! i guess this stuff really works. and today i've tried it as a primer underneath my foundation, it works great as that, too. dewy, non-flaky skin for hours. yay! i'm so loving this stuff right now!
I bought this product after I had surgery which caused a scar on my forehead. My doctor prescribed this product to reduce the scar and to let it heal better. I have been using this product religiously every night and after about 10 months my scar has completeley disappeared ! It was a small red line (I had stiches) and the redness cleared after a couple of weeks and it is now invisible.
It has a gel-like consistency that feels almost velvety when it sinks into your skin.
A little goes a long way, after 10 months I still have a lot of product left. It comes in tube and is very easy to dose.
After reading the reviews about using it as a primer, I will definitely try it out.

Acording to the La roche-posay web page:
"Cicaplast accelerates reconstruction of the skin barrier thanks to a formula that combines:
-A copper/zinc/manganese mineral complex to stimulate the production of new cells, madecassoside to encourage proper cell organisation and procure fast, high-quality epidermal repair, insulating texture is enriched in anti-bacterial agents to protect the skin.
-Invisible and non sticky, with easy spreading.
-This soothing, moisturizing treatment relieves itchiness and tight sensations.
-Paraben-free formula.
I do not have any scars (like real bad accident scars) to test this product but I do have the common pimple scars we all girls have (self-inflicted! I can spend hours in front of the mirror making my pimples a lot worse than they were in the first place, ¬¬ !). Just so you know I have kind of a combination skin so in some areas my skin tends to be dry and in other it can get so oily!! I HATE IT!! because I cant treat my face skin evenly and most of the times (because Im mixing different stuff) I get the sensation that my skin doesnt feel uniformly nourished and healthy.
This been said I MUST let you know how incredibly surprised I was when I first applied this product!! (on washed and dry face). I instantly felt and saw my skin literately absorb the product like a sponge and the sensation of my skin after applying it was so velvet-like, soft and nourished. I have been using this for a couple of days and my skin seem to be improving as the days pass by, I think this is going to be my 911 skin restoration treatment when I find myself with some skin trouble (dryness, acne scars, irritated skin, sun burns, any kind of scars, etc. this product isnt oily but maybe if you have oily skin it may not drive you as crazy as it drove me, lol.) I dont think it is a 100% necessary to use EVERYDAY after your skin has been restored BUT if you have skin like mine (which Ill guess the majority of the girls do, I mean due to all the hormone changes our skin can be pretty temperamental, lol) I think Im going to be reaching for this product numerous times every month, its definitely a keeper in my book! And I would recommend it openly to any gal in need of help ;) or just looking for a great way of pampering and nurturing her skin <3
OH! I almost forgot everyone is saying how a great primer it is I must say its pretty good not great or wonderful (but lets be real for a second and remember its not supposed to be one) and over all it does keep its word and its helping my skin restoration without doubt consider it.

I like this product, it goes on like a primer and is supposed to be used post chemical-peels as it has healing qualities.
I've used it after getting the flakes from using ahas and retin-a and it does seem to heal me up faster, as well as feeling lovely on my face.
As the ingredients are similar to primers, it's easy to use in place of moisturiser/primer so that the healing can continue under your makeup.
I paid £13 for it here in the UK but it's available in fewer and fewer places so i think they may have discontinued it. It's not even on the La Roche Posay website any more so if you do like it, stock up while you can.

A dermatologist recommended this product to me for scabs, scars and cuts and she was right about it!
This is a good product for healing scabs and scars. Especially scabs as it moisturizes and lessens scaring. I always thought the best way to heal a scab was to dry it out but actually it is best for it to heal moist as otherwise you get left with a nasty red scar.
I know from years of experience. I dont have bad skin but occasionally I suffer from awful blisters on my face related to nerve problems I have in my temple and face, when these blisters erupt they leave nasty scabs which often lead to scars lasting several months. I always used to dry them out but find cicaplast heals them better by providing protection and moisture.
This product also helps with scar healing although, application of fresh aloe vera and aspirin masks are best for reducing redness.
This is also useful as a lip balm for chapped lips.
I tried using this as a primer and have reduced one star as I did not like it as a primer, although this product is not sold as a primer anyway. However I have sensitive skin and this broke me out. I would therefore not recommend it as a primer unless your skin supports lots of silicones as this cream is full of them.
I like the packaging, easy to get a small amount of product appropriate for scab/scar size and also it is hygienic.
Overall a good product, good at doing what it is supposed to do, ie heal rough, calloused, scabby, scarred skin but not good as a primer.

Leicester bag bonus point win
December 9, 2012
Leicester's Manu Tuilagi touches down for a try
© PA Photos
Leicester kept their Heineken Cup quarter-final hopes alive with a 33-25 victory over Treviso at Welford Road on Sunday.
The Tigers closed the gap on unbeaten Pool 2 leaders Toulouse after Julian Salvi's try double underpinned an emphatic first-half display. Centre Manu Tuilagi and substitute wing Matt Smith also touched down, with fly-half George Ford kicking four conversions, including the extras to a 17th-minute penalty try.
But it proved far from plain sailing as Treviso scored three tries of their own through flanker Dean Budd, prop Lorenzo Cittadini and wing Christian Loamanu, while Alberto Di Bernardo landed two conversions and two penalties.
Leicester led by 19 points at half-time but often struggled to contain Treviso when they attacked from deep, and the second period was distinctly uncomfortable for a Tigers team with strong last-eight ambitions. Treviso finished easily the stronger team, which does not auger well for Leicester ahead of next Saturday's return fixture at Stadio Communale di Monigo.
And they dare not take their eye off the ball to focus on January assignments with the Ospreys and Toulouse, otherwise their quarter-final hopes could be over before then. If the group goes to form and pedigree, four-time European champions Toulouse's Welford Road visit next month is likely to decide whether they or Tigers progress as pool winners.
Leicester welcomed back five of the England players on duty in last weekend's stunning victory over world champions New Zealand at Twickenham, with four starting and prop Dan Cole among the replacements.
England lock Geoff Parling skippered a home side which dominated early territory after Ford sent a long-range penalty wide, but Treviso then launched a thrilling counter-attack that was only thwarted by Tuilagi's staunch defensive work. Treviso fullback Luke McLean and fly-half James Amborisini were architects of the move, but the visitors could not capitalise with points, and Leicester made them pay.
Tigers spurned a kickable penalty after Tuilagi and number eight Thomas Waldrom linked well in attack, opting for a scrum instead, and Parling's decision was justified as the Treviso pack retreated at an alarming rate of knots. And when they attempted to halt Leicester's charge by illegal means, referee George Clancy had no hesitation in awarding a penalty try that Ford converted. Tuilagi added a second try eight minutes later after capitalising on a combination of Ford's half-break and poor defence by Treviso centre Tommaso Benvenuti.
Treviso had no answer to Leicester's pace and attacking verve and their third try arrived 10 minutes before half-time after Ben Youngs burst clear from inside his own 22, sparking some pinpoint handling work that ended with Salvi powering over. Ford again converted, but although Treviso already found themselves in damage-limitation mode, they breached Leicester's defence when Budd touched down one-handed in the corner and Di Bernardo added the extras. Salvi, though, restored normal service with his second try of the game, securing a bonus point and putting Tigers clear with a 26-7 interval advantage.
Tigers boss Richard Cockerill made two changes at half-time, taking off England hooker Tom Youngs and Fijian wing Vereniki Goneva, but if his team needed a wake-up call it arrived within six minutes of the restart. Treviso scrum-half Edoardo Gori stormed upfield, scattering Leicester's defence in the process, and the visiting forwards then exerted sufficient pressure for Cittadini to touch down.
Leicester regrouped impressively, though, with Smith rounding off a crisp move after Treviso flanker Simone Favaro was sin-binned for deliberate offside. Ford slotted his fourth successful conversion and Leicester entered the final quarter 33-14 ahead, but Treviso responded with 11 unanswered points as Di Bernardo kicked penalties either side of Loamanu touching down. It was a poor second-half display by Leicester and the muted reception from an 18,400 crowd told its own story.
Tigers boss Richard Cockerill welcomed the bonus point boost but is aware his side will need to raise their game ahead of the return fixture. "We were inaccurate - we went to sleep in the second half," Cockerill said. "It was a lot closer than we would have liked, but it's job done, it is five points.
"It certainly won't lead us to be complacent next week, so maybe it has done us a favour. We will have to be a lot better. Treviso were good, but I don't think we were under any illusions. Two years ago, we nearly lost in Treviso in the first round of the pool stage.
"The players will know they are in for a tough afternoon next week. We have got to go there and try to get five points. Whether that is attainable, we will have to see. It was job done today, but no more than that. Five points next week would be very helpful, but after today's performance from Treviso, in particular, we need to understand the task ahead for us."

By JOANN LOVIGLIO
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - When the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State erupted last year, public anger was directed not only toward Jerry Sandusky, whose trial begins Monday, but toward the people around him who didn't report their suspicions to police.
In the months that followed, that anger led many states to re-examine and expand their so-called mandatory reporting laws that require people to report suspected abuse or face civil and criminal penalties. Some state laws apply to professionals like doctors and teachers, while others apply universally to all adults.
Child advocates and academics are divided, however, about whether increasing the number of mandatory reporters will make the public more vigilant, or simply overload an already stretched-thin child welfare system and siphon limited resources from children who need help most.
Forty-eight states require at least some professionals to immediately report knowledge or suspicion of child sexual abuse to some authority, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The list of professionals varies by state and can include teachers, school nurses, doctors, social workers, police, day care workers, coaches and camp counselors.
Of those states, 18 have laws that require mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse by all adults.
Many states have no specific sanctions for those who fail to comply with such laws, while others have penalties but they are not enforced unless a case is particularly heinous or deadly, said Teresa Huizar of the National Children's Alliance, a Washington-based advocacy group.
"On the surface, (universal mandatory reporting) sounds like an outstanding idea," she said, "but if you make something everybody's responsibility, it can end up becoming no one's responsibility."
About 105 bills on the reporting of suspected child abuse and neglect have been introduced in 2012 legislative sessions in 30 states and the District of Columbia, many of them directly in response to the Sandusky case. Legislation has since been enacted in 10 of those states, according to the latest NCSL tally updated Monday.
Oregon, West Virginia, Virginia and South Dakota are among states that expanded their list of professions that are mandatory reporters, while Indiana and Iowa are requiring schools to develop new policies and reporting procedures for responding to suspected child abuse.
Indiana, also in response to the Penn State scandal, passed legislation that requires the state to work with child sexual abuse experts to develop education materials, response policies and reporting procedures on child sexual abuse. A new Iowa law requires schools to implement policy for employees in contact with children to report suspected physical or sexual abuse.
Also as a direct result of the Sandusky case, Florida has passed what is now the toughest mandatory reporting legislation in the country: Failure to report suspected child abuse is a felony, and universities would be fined $1 million and stripped of state funding for two years if officials don't report child abuse. The law applies to everyone _ from university coaching staff to elementary school teachers to students.
"Florida now has the toughest laws in the country for protecting children," said Lauren Book, who created a nonprofit foundation for child abuse victims and pushed for tougher sex offender laws with her father, lobbyist Ron Book.
She said the legislation compels individuals and institutions to speak up, the aim of which is to prevent what allegedly happened at Penn State from occurring in Florida.
"Mandatory reporting is a good thing but it's only a Band-Aid for a bigger issue," said Jim Hmurovich, president of Chicago-based child advocacy organization Prevent Child Abuse America. "The right solution is we should ensure as adults that the abuse and neglect ever happens in the first place."
Dozens of universities are implementing their own reporting requirements. Penn State itself has instituted a new policy requiring all employees to report suspected child abuse to state authorities, while the University of Arkansas requires university employees who suspect child abuse to first call the state's Child Abuse Hotline and campus police.
Hmurovich and Huizar said they support the idea of mandatory reporting laws, even if imperfect.
"When we don't prevent abuse and neglect from happening we spend $80 billion a year trying to remediate it with treatment," Hmurovich said.
Critics contend that such laws force child welfare workers to investigate an endless flow of inconsequential complaints, to separate children needlessly from their parents and wreak havoc on innocent families.
"We don't have a problem of underreporting child abuse. We dramatically over-report already," said New York University law professor Martin Guggenheim, who specializes in legal issues related to child welfare. "We do have a problem of not doing enough for families who come to child welfare agencies and need help."

Game Face: Lena Pollich has it
Dang skippy this photo deserved its own blog post!
That's Massapequa forward Lena Pollich after the Chiefs' 1-0 win over Port Washington on Sunday, which captured a fourth consecutive Nassau Class A title. Kristin Yevoli scored the goal, set up with a steal and pass from her best friend, Pollich. (You can read about that here.)
While doing interviews after the game, I noticed Pollich's abnormally red eyes. Either she hadn't slept in seven years or was transforming into a werewolf. Or, a less likely third possibility: she wears some cool contact lenses in games. To my surprise, it was the less likely third possibility.
Pollich said the contacts are designed specifically for sports and help cut down on glare from the sun. They would aslo serve well in any kind of blinking contest.
She's a mild-mannered, soft-spoken high school senior. But by our calculations - and we've done extensive studies - Pollich is 57.3% more intimidating with the contacts in. Notice the serious face, too. She means business!
Who remembers the old "Clear Eyes" commercials with Ben Stein? Huh, just me? I ain't that old. Anyway...
The unusual contacts reminded me of former Hauppauge lacrosse star Taylor Ranftle, who used to wear the "Wild Eyes" lenses in games.
But, see, Ranftle smiling here reduces the intimidation level by 17%.
You want some actual field hockey news? Massapequa will face either Sachem East or Bay Shore in the Long Island final at 6 p.m. at Adelphi on Nov. 13.
* Props to Pollich for being willing to pose for this photo and talk about contact lenses during her team's post-game celebration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The job market is sending signs that it may be strengthening.
The number of people seeking unemployment benefits has sunk to its lowest point in six years because few companies are laying anyone off anymore.
A survey of service companies found that they added jobs last month at their fastest pace in six months.
And more small businesses say they plan to hire than at any point since the recession began.
The fourth annual Lehman Park Harvest Festival will be held in Berne on Saturday, Oct. 5. Proceeds received from the festival will benefit the Lehman Park Equipment Fund and will be used to make improvements to the park playground areas.

Eleanor Wachtel talks to Robert Carsen, the Canadian who became the world's busiest director of operas. He's in Toronto with one of his most lauded productions, Dialogues des Carmelites, a story of nuns who decided to go to the guillotine rather than renounce their vows during the French Revolution. It's on stage now, performed by the Canadian Opera Company. Robert Carsen tells Eleanor about his early life growing up in a mansion with his art-loving philanthropist parents, and about his spectacular career, and his philosophy of directing, bringing fresh and surprising interpretations to classic operas.

From the small towns of West Texas to the streets of the Lone Star State's largest cities, it's been said that the best part of living in Texas is having a Texan for a neighbor. Keeping the state out of the way and letting those neighbors work together to solve local challenges is the most reliable way to ensure Texas remains the best place in the nation to live, work and raise a family.

Winnipeg, MB
-9°c Overcast
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 08/2/2014 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
Scarlett Johansson is clearly a woman. In fact, going by the lad-magazine headlines, the voluptuous, honey-voiced star could be described as "all woman."
Maybe that's why it's so intriguing that Johansson has recently taken on roles in which she plays a non-woman. That is, her character might look or sound like a woman -- and what a woman! -- but in reality she's sneakily, sexily, dangerously something else. She's either non-human or anti-human or post-human.
The latest, most mainstream example of this bait-and-switch gambit can be seen in Lucy, helmed by France's Eurotrash auteur Luc Besson. In this sci-fi action flick, Johansson briefly plays an actual woman-woman, a bedraggled party girl named Lucy who is coerced into becoming a drug mule. When an accidental overdose of a designer drug unlocks the untapped potential of her mind, Lucy transforms into a cool, calculating hyper-evolved killer.
There's a jolt of silly cinematic pleasure in watching ScarJo levitate, teleport and torture Taipei drug lords, all while looking absolutely fabulous. Because yes, even when Lucy's giant omniscient brain is supposedly concerned with other things -- the beginnings of life, the origin of the universe, the conquest of space and time -- she still manages to kit herself out in a skin-tight Escada dress and Louboutin stilettos. She's superhuman, with just a touch of supermodel.
Johansson, like her character, seems to be operating at 100 per cent of her star capacity here. Lucy is out-muscling Hercules at the box office, one more addition to a lineup of 2014 films that prove strong female leads can open movies. And with a storyline that starts with Johansson's luscious beauty and turns it to such lethal effect, Lucy is being hailed by some reviewers as a critique of Hollywood's use and misuse of female pulchritude.
I don't know. Looking to Lucy for a feminist message seems a tad optimistic. Besson has always had a fondness for weaponized women. Lucy is sister-in-arms to the anti-heroines of Nikita and Leon and to Besson's rocker-chick version of Joan of Arc. Maybe these women can be seen as kick-ass expressions of female empowerment. Or maybe they're just part of Besson's girl-and-gun fetish, part of a male fantasy that mixes desire and dread.
Johansson's status as an icon of female beauty gets a much more subversive twist in two other movies, Under the Skin (released on DVD last week) and Her. Under the Skin, from British director Jonathan Glazer, is an art-house film about an alien who takes on human appearance, in this case the gorgeously fleshy form of a brunette Scarlett Johansson. The alien drives around Glasgow in a white van trolling for lone men, who are seduced in an eerie black room and never seen again.
Some of these scenes started with real-life encounters with unsuspecting regular guys, who were obviously hypnotized by Johansson's face and whose interactions with her were captured by hidden cameras. (The men later signed release forms.) There's something deliciously apt and disturbing about this set-up. I mean, if you were engineering a being with the sole purpose of luring gormless Glaswegian men to an enigmatic and untimely end, you would probably wind up with something that looked a lot like Scarlett Johansson.
The film turns on our obsession with the surfaces of cinematic celebrity, Johansson's opaque persona -- flat-voiced, dead-eyed, hollowed-out -- reflecting nothing but our own need. In Under the Skin she's not so much a sexy woman as a skin-deep replicant of a sexy woman. Though the film offers Johansson's first big nude scenes, fan forums aren't exactly buzzing about them, probably because the final effect is chilly, unsettling, oddly anti-erotic.
Her, as its title suggests, also references some kind of elemental Johansson femaleness, except that here the star is represented not by her face or her body but by her voice. Working that characteristic mix of girly and husky, she plays Samantha, a sentient operating system designed to meet the user needs of twitchy introvert Joaquin Phoenix. Samantha is designed to please, but she's also designed to evolve, and she eventually evolves beyond him.
This unexpected film starts with a runaway male fantasy but then morphs into a wistful, melancholy little tale of male heartbreak. (Some viewers have interpreted Her as Jonze's coded apology to his former wife, filmmaker Sofia Coppola.)
Scarlett Johansson, like most young female Hollywood stars, has had to trade on her beauty. But she might finally be getting to a point where she can do something interesting with it. In this recent run of strange hybrid sci-fi roles, ScarJo uses her bombshell image to blow things up, including our expectations.

"Awesome team, fun environment, unmatched career trajectory "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Computer Futures Solutions full-timePros
Computer Futures shares the office with the other brands (Huxley, Real) of our parent company so there's about 60 people in the office in total. It's a young, fun, intelligent team. I've been at firms where people dreaded coming to work, hated their boss, etc...I never hear it here. It's a great environment. There's a ton of energy. A lot of people are friends outside of the office, go out together on the weekends, etc. They flew the entire company to Vegas for the end of the year party- going again next year. Other incentives can be anything from free lunch for the week to flying to Miami for a crazy party. A huge advantage of being part of a new brand stateside within a larger company is the resources they're willing to invest to grow the business. Need to go to a conference to get your name out? Fly to visit a client? Done. Because the brand is new, there's a ton of opportunity to advance quickly. I doubt there's another staffing firm that can offer the same career trajectory. Salary-wise, there's a solid base, and a great commission structure. From what I've seen, top performers hit six figures in their first year or two. The company invests heavily in training, and the management is awesome- a ton of great people here to learn from who have sat in your seat and are happy and excited to help you grow professionally. I love that there's no ceiling here in terms of growth potential and career trajectory.Cons
This isn't a con, but people looking to sit back and coast wouldn't do well here. The goals of the business and the people here are aggressive, so there's no room for half-assing it, which I love. People work hard here. They're rewarded for the hard work for sure, but if you're the type that leaves at 5 on the dot, look elsewhere.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep it up:)RecommendsPositive Outlook

TOKYO, Aug. 15 (Yonhap) -- Two members of Japan's cabinet paid their respects Thursday at a Tokyo shrine seen as a symbol of the country's imperialistic past despite long-running protests from South Korea and China against such visits.
Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Yoshitaka Shindo and Keiji Furuya, minister in charge of the issue of North Korea's abductions of Japanese nationals in the 1970s and '80s, visited the Yasukuni Shrine that honors Japan's war dead, and includes Class-A criminals.
Thursday was the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.
Shindo later told reporters that he made the visit as an individual, not as a cabinet member.
South Korea, China and other Asian nations have long resented visits to the shrine because the act is considered to glorify Japan's imperialistic past.
Later in the day, about 90 Japanese lawmakers also paid homage at the shrine.
But Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not visit the shrine, apparently mindful of the expected furor his visit would draw from neighboring countries. Instead, he made a monetary offering to the shrine via an aide.

We're always on the look out for amazing DIY projects that relate to 3D printing. Just the other day a new tri-copter design was posted on Flitetest.com by rocketman1092 which really caught my eyes. Then moments later it also appeared on thingiverse, so naturally we had to start making this right away.
This great model is from the Makerbot Studio's curriculum collection. The skull is printed as one piece, without any support material!

A new metal filament for 3D printing is about to be shipped to our early adopters who placed a pre-order in the last month. Therefore it's about time to share our insights and tips on printing with copperFill 3D printing filament!
BronzeFill has become a huge hit for colorFabb and we've seen many great examples of excellent 3D printed models on their social media. Apparently printing with metal on desktop 3D printers is something the maker community is really interested in.
Replicas of historic church figures in wood by Fucco Design.
The original figures were scanned by Scanning 3D; Fucco Design split the received model into parts and then had it printed, initially processed (separation of supports, etc.) and glued it all together.

First of all we need to start this post with a big thank you to all participants of the Time-Lapse contest! Overall we're impressed with the quality of the videos and the amount of care and attention the contenders have put into their work.
Le fabshop has got a great thingiverse portfolio of 3d designs which are made for 3d printing. We printed the little car on our Ultimaker Original and made a time-lapse video.
The trial period for bronzeFill is up and the first customers have already received and printed with bronzeFill. It's time for a write up and share print settings and methods of post processing this awesome material.
Our _XT filament has been around for a while now and we've been getting lots of positive feedback and tips. Therefore we decided it was about time to do a little write up of all the tips and comments to help you get the best possible quality from your 3d printer.
Talented designer Chris van den Elzen collaborated with Judith van Vliet on a new shoe collection called, EXCIDIUM.
We are printing the lovely Low-Poly Charmander designed by thingiverse user Flowalistik. This cute but fierse Charmander was craving for some Dutch Orange, so we loaded up our Ultimaker Original with a fresh spool of 2,85mm Dutch Orange. We made a time-lapse so you can see this little pokemon being created one layer at a time.
At Fabcon we were printing three days with woodFill on the Makerbot and it went marvelous. We printed lots of little Aztec Chiefs designed by Makerbot and Homer Simpsons designed by Steelyd. These were great little give-aways that print super fast, about 35 minutes per print!
For those who couldn't visit us at Fabcon, here's a time-lapse of our Makerbot with the woodFill filament.
We are printing the lovely Low-Poly Bulbasaur designed by thingiverse user Flowalistik. This cute Bulbasaur was craving for some Intense Green, so we loaded up our Makerbot Replicator 2 with a fresh spool of 1,75mm Intense Green. We made a time-lapse so you can see this little pokemon being created one layer at a time.
Today we're launching a new filament, colorFabb glowFill. This filament will literally make your work shine!
We are printing the lovely Low-Poly Squirtle designed by thingiverse user Flowalistik. What better color for this water creature then our Ultra Marine Blue!? We made a time-lapse with the Ultimaker 2 so you can see this little pokemon being created one layer at a time.
Last week we organized a friends&family day at our brand new colorFabb production facility. For most 3d printing is still new and sometimes hard to grasp, so we decided to explain the process of making filament and how the filament is used with various 3d printers.

At the Eindhoven Mini Maker Faire design studio Van Alles Wat Ontwerp presented a pretty clever way of personalizing the Ikea Lampan lampshade. An interactive installation allowed users to draw their own lampshade designs on a piece of paper, while simultaneously a 3d model is being rendered on a screen! We've seen children making beautiful 3d designs by simply drawing on a pieve of paper, amazing!
All the designs are posted on thingiverse.
The lampshades were 3d printed with various colorFabb PLA/PHA filament. WoodFill proved to be especially pretty with little light behind it.

Cinerarias, a cool-season greenhouse crop, are typically available from January through April.

There are large numbers of deer in wooded areas near my home. Are there any shade tolerant perennials that won't be devoured by the deer?
When deer are extremely hungry, they'll eat almost anything. However, there are a number of perennials that deer usually avoid.
Native plants that usually aren't bothered by deer include wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), Canadian wild ginger (Asarum canadense), turtlehead (Chelone glabra), Dutchman's breeches (Dicentra cucullaria), ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris), Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) and Solomon's seal (Polygonatum spp.).
Cultivated (non-native) plants that are usually ignored by deer include astilbe (Astilbe spp.), barrenwort (Epimedium spp.), sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum), spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum), creeping lily-turf (Liriope spicata), lungwort (Pulmonaria spp.) and Siberian squill (Scilla siberica).
Is the European mountain ash a good tree for Iowa?
An important consideration when selecting ornamental trees and shrubs for the home landscape is plant hardiness. In the upper Midwest, plant tolerance to extreme cold is usually the most important quality when selecting plant materials. Cold hardiness, however, is not the sole factor which limits the adaptability of plant materials. Though often overlooked, plant tolerance to summer heat and drought are also important.
The European mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) prefers cool, moist summers. Fireblight, borers, cankers and sunscald often prematurely kill trees weakened by heat and drought. Because of these difficulties, the European mountain ash is short-lived and not recommended for Iowa. The European mountain ash is chiefly grown for its clusters of orange-red fruit. If colorful ornamental fruit are desired, crabapple varieties with persistent, attractive fruit would be better choices for home gardeners in Iowa.
How do you care for cinerarias?
Cinerarias, a cool-season greenhouse crop, are typically available from January through April. The daisy-like flowers, which are 1 to 4 inches in diameter, are available in a wide range of colors, including pink, red, lavender, purple and blue. Many have white eyes.
Cinerarias should be placed in bright, indirect light with a temperature near 60 degrees F. Keep the potting soil uniformly moist, but not saturated. If the potting soil becomes dry, the plant will wilt rapidly and may die if not promptly watered. Pots wrapped with decorative foil should have a hole punched in the bottom to allow for drainage. When watering plants in molded plastic pot covers, carefully remove the pot cover, water the plant in the sink, let it drain for a few minutes, then place the plant back in the molded pot cover.
Cinerarias should remain attractive for two or three weeks if given good care. After the flowers dry and shrivel, discard the plants.
