A MAN has been arrested in connection with the digging up and disturbing of a badger sett.
A 25-year-old from the Liverpool area was questioned in connection with an incident which happened in April in the Holywell area.
Officers from North Wales Police's rural crime team (RCT) executed five search warrants in the Merseyside area relating to incidents in the Flintshire area.
They were helped by Merseyside Police colleagues.
A number of items were also seized including cash and mobile phones and the man was questioned yesterday.
Sgt Rob Taylor of the RCT said: "This morning's action demonstrates that regardless of their origins the rural crime team will relentlessly pursue suspected offenders to help achieve our goal of keeping our rural communities safe.
"Over the last 12 months we have seen a steady decrease in rural crime and with the continued support and vigilance from the local community I'm sure we can continue on that path.
"It is also worth reminding the community to remain vigilant at all times, always ensure your property is locked and secured and if you see any suspicious behaviour contact police immediately."
Anyone with any information about rural crime has been asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

This attractive cake is iced and decorated in only a few minutes. Taking a 21" plastic disposable pastry bag, I inserted an easy icer tip #200. It is filled with white buttercream icing and the point of the bag is cut to expose the tip. The icing is squeezed onto the side of the 8 inch round cake. The teeth of the tip is towards the cake. Next, the top is filled in with more icing. I spread out the icing on top of the cake with a spatula, taking care not to lift the blade from the cake. Lifting the spatula can cause cake crumbs to get into the icing. The side is smoothed out with a cake scraper keeping the beveled edge away from the cake. A decorative scraper is used to make a pattern on the side of the cake. I finished the top of the cake by smoothing it out with the regular cake scraper. A second 21" bag is used to make the top border. This time, I used a coupler and a #20 border tip and white buttercream. With the #20 border tip on the end of the bag, I made icing loops on the top edge of the cake. A #103 rose tip is put in a disposable parchment bag, filled with yellow buttercream. I put a yellow rose bud in the pocket of each top border loop. Using this same bag and the narrow end of the #103 rose tip up, I squeezed out a smooth yellow bottom border. A parchment bag containing a #67 leaf tip and green buttercream is used to put a leaf on each yellow rose bud. Have fun! Toni

Pretty Flat Flowers on a Quarter Sheet Cake
Using a rose tip in a pastry bag, pretty flat flowers can be placed directly onto your cake. This quarter sheet cake was previously iced and the edges were covered with two different borders. A straight orange border on the bottom and a yellow ruffle on the top. Flat flowers are made by using only rose tips inside of parchment pastry bags filled with colored buttercream icing. It is always a good idea to practice making flat flowers for the very first time on something other than your cake. I demonstrated two different sized flowers with two rose tips on a paper plate, making sure my rose bud ends touch. After practicing, I put blue flat buttercream flowers containing #102 rose tip in each corner of my cake. Next to the blue flowers, I make larger hot pink flat flowers using a #104 rose tip. Another color of flat flowers are added with a bag containing orange buttercream icing and rose tip #102. The orange flat flowers are used to tie in the bottom border and fill in the spaces on the top. The center of each flower is filled in with yellow icing squeezed through a bag containing a grass tip #233. The leaves are made with green buttercream icing and tip #67 in a parchment bag. A few green leaves are put around each flower. Toni
How to make a Valentine's Day Cake using a Cookie Cutter!
A Valentine's Day cake is the perfect way to show someone how you feel. Let me show you how to make this cake for your someone special. I iced an 8" round cake with white buttercream icing and scraped the side with a decorative comb. The bags are a 21" disposable bag with a coupler and filled with white buttercream, attaching a #415 ruffle border tip. You will also need two parchment bags both containing red buttercream. One bag contains a rose tip #101 and the other holds a #20 border tip. Green icing is placed in two additional bags. One bag has a #2 writer tip and the other has no tip and I cut out a leaf point at the tip of the bag to make a small leaves. A medium size cookie cutter is used. I put a small red border on the bottom of the cake and the white ruffle border on the top edge. The cookie cutter is pressed in the center of the cake and the outline is covered with the green #2 writer bag. I made a small red tea rose placing it at the top on the heart and put rose buds over the green outline. Cutting the green leaf bag tip, I put a leaf on every red bud and on the rose.

FORT MYERS BEACH, FL- Charter boat captains are in an uproar over a ban on gag grouper that goes into effect on February 1st.
Fish and wildlife officials say studies show the fish populations are low and they need to protect the species until numbers increase.
Fisherman say they believe the science behind the study is flawed and the fish populations are fine.
Charter captains say the ban hits at the height of tourist season and the ban could put many out of business.
The ban on gag grouper is expected to continue until June.

(Updated at 11:35 a.m.) Last week, a pro-gun activist cancelled his planned open carry march from Arlington National Cemetery to the District of Columbia. The planned protest has prompted U.S. Park Police to remind the public that D.C. gun laws apply to certain portions of parkland adjacent the the Potomac River.
March organizer Adam Kokesh encouraged supporters to join him on July 4 in publicly carrying loaded rifles during the march, which he dubbed a "non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent." It was scheduled to begin at Arlington National Cemetery, and then continue over the Memorial Bridge into various parts of the District before returning to Arlington.
As widely reported, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier promised to enforce the District's strict stringent laws, which ban the carrying of loaded weapons. Lanier suggested police might even meet the marchers at the District line. Last week organizers cancelled the march.
Yesterday, U.S. Park Police sent out a reminder that certain parcels of land along the George Washington Memorial Parkway that appear to be in Virginia — such as Theodore Roosevelt Island and Columbia Island, which includes LBJ Memorial Grove, Lady Bird Johnson Park and the Columbia Island marina — are actually in the District. Therefore, D.C. gun laws apply there.
As seen on the USPP-provided map (above), Columbia Island extends from just below the Roosevelt Bridge to the Humpback Bridge. From the press release:
The proposed "Open Carry March on Washington" that was being organized by Adam Kokesh to occur on July 4, 2013, has been cancelled by him.
The United States Park Police… want[s] to make sure the public is aware that portions of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) is located in the District of Columbia, and that their firearm laws applies there.
Theodore Roosevelt and Columbia Islands are located in the District of Columbia. While most of the GWMP is located in Virginia, both the Theodore Roosevelt Island and Columbia Island is actually located in the District of Columbia. A good rule of thumb for Columbia Island, which includes the LBJ Memorial Grove, Lady Bird Johnson Park and Columbia Island marina, is that it surrounded by the Potomac River to the east and Boundary Channel to the west. The following are various access points that lead to Theodore Roosevelt and Columbia Islands in the District of Columbia:
- The foot bridge leading on to Theodore Roosevelt Island from the parking lot off of the GWMP southbound.
- Northbound GWMP and the Mt. Vernon Trail in the area of Humpback Bridge to Theodore Roosevelt Island.
- Ramp to Rt. 50 from northbound GWMP to Columbia Island.
- Memorial Avenue to Columbia Island.
- Southbound GWMP south of Theodore Roosevelt Island to Humpback Bridge.
- Boundary Channel Dr. @ Rt. 27 to Columbia Island.
- LBJ Memorial Grove footbridge (leading from the Pentagon parking lot) to Columbia Island.
District of Columbia firearms laws apply on Theodore Roosevelt and Columbia Islands. Before entering Theodore Roosevelt and Columbia Islands, people need to know that they are located in the District of Columbia. This is important because since February 22, 2010, 16 USC 1a-7b generally provides that people can legally possess firearms if they are in compliance with the law of the State in which the park area is located.
It remains the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws. For example, D.C. Code 22-4504(a-1) provides that "[e]xcept as otherwise permitted by law, no person shall carry within the District of Columbia a rifle or shotgun." While there are a number of public sources to locate the firearms laws, the GWMP's website at www.nps.gov/gwmp/parkmgmt/firearms.htm has hyperlinks to the firearm laws of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Parkland located in Arlington, meanwhile, is subject to the following Virginia gun laws.
18.2-287.4. Carrying loaded firearms in public areas prohibited; penalty.
It shall be unlawful for any person to carry a loaded (a) semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine that will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition or designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock or (b) shotgun with a magazine that will hold more than seven rounds of the longest ammunition for which it is chambered on or about his person on any public street, road, alley, sidewalk, public right-of-way, or in any public park or any other place of whatever nature that is open to the public in the Cities of Alexandria, Chesapeake, Fairfax, Falls Church, Newport News, Norfolk, Richmond, or Virginia Beach or in the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Henrico, Loudoun, or Prince William.

HP: Our NonStop servers will be rock solid – even when running on x86
HP has announced that it plans to port its fault-tolerant NonStop server technology to the x86 architecture, in a move that should both reduce price tags in the NonStop product line and help HP further distance itself from Intel's all-but-stagnant Itanium platform. HP is by far the world's leading Itanium vendor, accounting for …
good thing
I have spent significant time with virtually every major Unix (and many many minor ones) in and out of shop except for HP-UX. Not being available for x86 these days has to be a mind share killer. Killing Itanium sooner than later and moving to x86 is probably five years overdue.
HP - Non stop
In there with chocolate fire-guards, leprechauns & Dell uptime stats.
Give me IBM kit any day
An outbreak of sense at HP
the world is getting weirder by the day. First I agree with Bill Gates and now this. Good move for HP. Maybe it is worth moving HPUX to X86-64 again. Does company have time before it does a Blackberry or Nokia ? They had a bootable kernel but it got killed in the new HP tradition a CEO or two ago. Hard to say as the linux juggernaut makes propriety unices less attractive, especially as Linux has containers now. Still think AIX on Power has the edge though. For the indigent, Solaris X86/FreeBSD with ZFS is a cheap option, although BTFS seems to be catching up in geek desirability stakes. As for their success in fondle slabs, not much hope. Already a near saturated market with low margins, unless one is Apple. Or HP stun everyone and release a phablet with memristor RAM of a TB or so.
HP Non-Stop Itanium will surely come to stop in the near future at HP. At least HP can tout 95% of the market. I would rather have 1% of something than 100% of nothing.
It's all about legacy software
NonStop supports a large number of legacy applications that have been evolving since the Tandem days, mostly in very conservative industries. It is extremely expensive to migrate this software, since NonStop supports a set of fine-grained checkpointing that is not available on Unix. The architecture of those applications depends on these features, so they cannot be "ported," but instead must be re-implemented starting from the architecture level. The users are therefor locked in, and HP can therefore make good money if they can provide NonStop on modern hardware. Sadly, this means Xeon.
This happened to both Unisys architectures, (Burroughs and UNiVAC,) both of which are sufficiently different from UNIX to make porting infeasible. It's not clear if this is also true of HPUX or VMS.
The NonStop architecture depends on fault identification features at the hardware level, some of which have only recently been added to the Xeons. This may be the reason that HP did not do this earlier.
[edit: this was meant to be a reply to another_vulture but my error detection mechanism didn't spot that I pressed the wrong button]
" if they can provide NonStop on modern hardware. Sadly, this means Xeon."
"The NonStop architecture depends on fault identification features at the hardware level, some of which have only recently been added to the Xeons. "
Details welcome. Tandem kit hasn't needed custom CPU chips for a long time (since before the MIPS CPU days?).
As I understood it, the heavyweight synchronisation and comparison stuff in recent years was done in off-CPU logic called the Logical Synchronisation Unit. It's hard (maybe even silly) to even think about instruction level synchronisation when modern high performance chips are all cache based, and are consequently subject to soft (recoverable) cache errors and other trivia which would rapidly destroy any hope of instruction level (or memory access level) synchronisation.
Synchronisation when the OS does an IO operation (or something conceptually similar) remains entirely practical (but not exactly simple).
"sufficiently different from UNIX to make porting infeasible. It's not clear if this is also true of ... VMS."
Those familiar with the VMS sources and the relevant history (and who are not hampered by the alleged ongoing non-disclosure agreements) suggest there is no overwhelming technical reason why a port of VMS to AMD64/x86-64 would not be sensible. Commercial/political factors are a different question. There have even been suggestions that a skunkworks/proof of concept AMD64 port existed briefly inside DEC (covered by ongoing NDA).
Equally, since HP earlier this year finally admitted that IA64 was dead, there has been talk of reviving an x86-64 port of VMS, but outside HP (since there are some customers who are more interested in VMS than HP are willing to acknowledge). Will it fly? Who knows. If it doesn't, it won't be because technical reasons blocked it.
"This may be the reason that HP did not do this earlier."
Someone important in HP/Intel bet something big on the success of IA64, whereas what they should have bet on was the continuing importance to customers of their investment in *software* -be it HP-UX, NSK, or VMS. That HP/Intel person lost that bet, that was plainly apparent years ago, and customers have been paying the price ever since. Finally HP are being forced to admit their stupidity.
Serious question
Are there ANY benefits to Itanium/IA64 over the Xeons availible at this time? I'm asking about hardware here, not software support or porting issues. I have heard about Intel bringing Itanium features to Xeon, and I'm just wondering what is left? Is the only problem with Itanium the low clocks? high cost? Is the only thing keeping IA64 alive the software lock-in?
Re: Serious question
"Are there ANY benefits to Itanium/IA64 over the Xeons availible at this time?"
I'd love to hear the answers to that too. Let's see what turns up.
"Is the only problem with Itanium the low clocks? high cost?"
Afaict the actual VLIW disadvantages in real world applications outweigh the alleged benefits (which iirc were most beneficial in areas like HPC where program flow was in theory relatively predictable at compile time).
"Is the only thing keeping IA64 alive the software lock-in?"
Probably the software investment protection, the fact that both Nonstop and VMS arguably have some uniqueness in programming approach which cannot be replicated satisfactorily on other OSes (hardware is largely irrelevant), and most importantly, some senior idiot(s) at HP/Intel not wanting to admit they made a wrong decision ten or more years ago.
HP might almost have got away with it, except (1) IA64 isn't interesting of its own right, it's the software that can [only] run on IA64 that's interesting (2) the departure of Mark Hurd from HP and his arrival at Oracle and the subsequent court case exposed HP's (non-)commitment to IA64 in a rather inconveniet manner (and inconvenient time).
Until recently, IA64 would have had an advantage on paper at the really really really silly high end in terms of ultramassive memory single system image SMP systems - IA64 could in theory do more CPUs and more memory than you could get in a high end Proliant. Maybe three digits worth of CPUs on IA64 and a handful of TB of RAM. But that gap was decreasing with every generation of AMD64 that came out (and every generation of IA64 that didn't).
Whether this capability gap, or the lack of it, was ever relevant to any real customers (rather than just being brochureware) was never clear to me.
Re: Serious question
"it's the software that can [only] run on IA64 that's interesting"
For the avoidance of doubt, this should have read "it's the software that HP have dictated will only run on IA64 that's interesting". It's been clear for a long time, and this announcement makes it clearer still, that there are no insurmountable engineering reasons to prevent NonStop and VMS running on IA64.
Re: Serious question
Correction to the correction
"there are no insurmountable engineering reasons to prevent NonStop and VMS running on IA64. Or on x86. Only political reasons".
Matt's very quiet on this topic these days.
That is all.

Below is all you need to know about going to games with your Den Sports Pass.Seating is first-come, first-serve. Your Den Pass does not guarantee admission into basketball games, instead it gives you access as long as space is available. All students must have a Bruin Card to enter Pauley Pavilion.
Pack Pauley Policy
Should the student section reach capacity, UCLA intends to release unsold public seats to Den Sports Pass holders wishing to attend the game. It's our goal to get as many Den Sports Pass holders into basketball games as possible and PACK PAULEY! Last year, we got EVERY SINGLE Den pass holder that arrived by tipoff time into the game. And we want to do that again for this season!
Non-Conference Games (With the Exception of Gonzaga on 12/13)
Seating is first-come, first-serve. It's as simple as that. Have your Bruin Card in hand and walk inside the venue at the Northwest Entrance to Pauley.
Doors open 60 minutes prior to tip off. To maintain your priority as a Den Sports pass holder, you must arrive before the announced game start time. Once the game has started, single game ticket buyers and student guests have the ability to purchase empty seats in the student section.
Conference Games & UCLA vs. Gonzaga on 12/13
More information on the entry process for this game is coming soon! Students will be emailed once a policy is in place.

I love this product!! LOVE LOVE LOVE I use it and it makes my face glow its done wonders to my face I'm planning to use it for a very long time I really recommend this to you girls!!
* Sensitive Skin!! *
I bought this primer as I am an oily skin/large pore sufferer. I'd heard that it is a dupe for Benefit Porefessional so I was intrigued by the hype (I can't comment on whether it is or not though, having never tried Porefessional - out of my price range!!!)
I love the texture and it does make my skin feel much smoother when I apply foundation/bb cream. My make up seems to last a bit longer and I feel like it looks more matte than usual!
However, I've been using it for a week or so and I've had so many break outs!! My skin looks even worse than it did before without make up!
I must add that I do have sensitive skin...so I'm not sure how it works for people who don't have too many problems in that department. I wanted to write a review though, because I'm always trying to find out how products affect people with skin issues before I buy!!
Won't be buying again - my quest for oil control continues!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a below average product. I bought it because I needed a primer for daily use and I didn't want to keep using my porefessional one because it is expensive. I don't use primer for oil control - just for longevity and as a smooth base. EHHH my foundation does not last for more than a few hours. This product didn't do much for me but it's alright at blurring pores. I would recommend ignoring the cute packaging and pass on this one.
This "pore-earaser" has to be the best drugstore one yet but I have to try the L'oreal miracle blur before I make the claim. THIS IS NOT A DUPE FOR THE POREFESSIONAL. no where does it say on the package that is a primer so I think it really threw people off. Besides that, I apply this with my Dual-Fibre brush(stippling brush) to apply and stipple it into my skin around my t-zone which helps my pores and smooths them out, then I use my fingers to smooth over any other areas (dry patches) because it smooths it out. I use this daily, even when I don't plan on wearing makeup because it makes my skin smooth and soft! I do go over this with my professional primer so it will give my foundation an extra boost of staying power! Highly recommend this product!
I thought I'd try this out as part of my quest to find a mattifying primer/gel for my nose (the only part of my face that gets shiny!) I don't really use it anywhere else, I just dab it gently onto my nose and smooth it out after moisturising, then apply foundation over it after waiting a couple of minutes for it to dry.
The gel texture is nice, I much prefer this to a liquid or cream texture which seem to have little or no mattifying effect at all on my skin. It doesn't dry up or flake away like other primers I have tried.
I can't say it's the best product I've found, but I use it as a cheaper alternative to the MAC Matte gel when I can't get to the MAC counter. For £7.99 it does the job I need it to, I find that foundation and powder stays on better than when I go without.
It has a slight scent to it but nothing that bothers me or irritates my skin. I would repurchase as a cheap alternative to the MAC version I have and use it for general daytime/work stuff. The search continues...
Meh.. usually I only write reviews if I really like (or also really detest & don't like) a product, but this has got me a bit confused. I bought it to use under makeup & it does a little better than average job of making my makeup stay on maybe a couple more hours, foundation & powder goes on slightly more smoothly, but this product isn't a primer, & it isn't an oil control gel, so I am a little confused as to why I really find it necessary. It didn't break me out, had cute packaging (& I liked how it was in a tube which is practical & utilitarian both), didn't have any offensive scent, but I don't know if I will repurchase this when I run out because I am simply on the fence. I will definitely use up this tube before making a decision. I've never used anything like Porefessional or other the other products mentioned that this is a dupe for, so I cannot offer any helpful comparisons/contrasts or educated opinions, but I do think that this is probably a lot better than using Monistat or milk of mag under your makeup or other stuff that's not meant to go under your makeup. BabyLips lipbalm is a real winner, not so sure about this product...IF it was doing anything really beneficial the price tag isn't too bad, but I just don't know if I really need this.

More reviews by edentomlinsonx
Really like this it smooths my pores out and makes my skin look a bit more Matt! It's not a good primer because it isn't a primer which I think people are getting mixed up about on here! I use a primer as well so have no problem with it not being. I only bought it because there was a 3 for 2 offer in boots and I didn't know what else to choose and wanted to try something different and you know what I'm really glad I did pick this!
this is a pore erasing makeup base. nowhere does it claim to be primer or keep skin from getting oily, etc. people are giving it bad reviews because they are using it incorrectly.

So I bought this is shoppers drug mart a couple days ago. It was really expensive for the size (11.99$). I debated buying it because of the price, but I knew I had to try it after seeing all the hype on YouTube. My first impression was- WOW my pores are nowhere to been seen! I'm so happy with this product and I will be repurchasing! I don't ever notice my pores anymore and it makes my makeup look flawless! Thank you baby skin, and my pores thank you too!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For the price, I really like this. I have used Benefit Porefessional in the past, and I would say this is as good or better. I got it for $6.99 at Walgreens, and while there wasn't a MAJOR difference when I put it on alone, my make-up looked infinitely better on and even after a workout, my foundation looked perfect. I would agree with other reviewers who stated that it can be greasy if you put too much on, so apply sparingly. Also, this has NOT made me break out, which I'm somewhat prone to, so that's a major plus.

Camo Toad
I stepped back in quick reaction and then took a closer look.
I looked closer...
He was "walking" not hoping and he had warts, so I think he was a small toad.

Would it be related if I told you we were having frog legs for dinner? The toad might not like the news, but bull frogs make such a fuss at night near the ponds and lakes of my youth...
Lovely pic and post as usual...

I have tons of those toads, keep thinking I will have my own "frog" jumping contest. Be careful if you have dogs that the dogs don't touch them, they are not poisonous but they are toxic .... one of my dogs got ahold of one a few years ago and kept foaming at the mouth.
Guess they don't taste as good as the dog thought.

There is a HUGE toad that lives all summer in my "hose box" by my house. I think he likes it because it's always shaded and the ground is cooler there because it's near the water faucet. When ever I open the box to unwind the hose, I always say "Hello Mr. Toad!".

DO only small toads have "warts" Farmlady? I don't know much about them, I only know about the nasty ones in Queensland, called Cane Toads & they are terrible pests.
God must have had a purpose for them all, including those rattlers!

Yes isn't nature amazing in how she dresses things! And Farmlady is amazing as well for being able to see this toad in his disguise! I can't wait for spring to come...I've heard the spring peeper frogs but only when it's warmer...what do they do when the frost comes? Crawl back to where it's warmer I suppose.
Nice new header!

I love when I make small discoveries like this little toad when I would work out in the garden. Just the other day while cleaning a flower bed I ran across what I at first thought was a garden snake. After Carol was snake bit a couple of years ago when we lived farther out in the country I wanted to catch that critter and make sure it wasn't poisonous. Turned out when I caught it it was a young mountain boomer lizard. Needless to say, I tucked him back in the garden under one of our decorative logs.
They are great bug catchers.

this is so cute! even though i'm 5'9" i'll totally resize this!
Jul 8, 2011, 03.40 PMby dillybean
I too am confused by the sizing as it does not match up with the sizing chart- also the pattern says to lengthen pieces 22 and 24 as indicated, however, I do not see how much to lengthen them by anywhere in the instructions- Help!
Jul 5, 2011, 06.23 PMby bellamaedesign
Please explain the pattern sizes "17, 18, 19 etc". I checked the pattern sizing pages but do not see these sizes.
Jul 16, 2011, 11.00 AMby omgdora
Sizes 17-22 are called "half sizes" and are for petite women. In width, they correspond to sizes 34-44, but supposedly have a shorter torso length, higher hemline, etc., to fit a shorter person.
Even if you are not petite, I would say for this dress, go ahead and use the size that is half your usual size. The worse that can happen is the belt casing might be a bit too high on you.

Customer Reviews
Amazing pure organic argan oil without any additives or preservatives.
10 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Caerulea on May 10, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
This soft, gentle, non-comedogenic oil suitable for all skin and hair types, including sensitive, acne-prone and mature, with a pleasant slightly nutty aroma is one of Morocco's best kept beauty secrets and known as the "oil of life", and for good reason - its composition and properties are unique and superior to those of other plant oils. Argan oil contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic), 18% saturated oils (palmitic and stearic), which makes it more resistant to oxidation than olive oil, and is very high in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant helping neutralize free radicals, restore the skin's hydrolipid balance and prevent premature aging, which is particularly important for people living in harsh and polluted environments. And that's not the only unique thing about argan oil - it also contains carotenes, squalene and triterpenoid saponins known for their emollient, soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant and sun-protective properties, plant sterols reducing irritation and inflammation, calming itching, deeply moisturizing and nourishing dry, damaged and sensitive skin, making it softer, smoother and more supple, improving skin tone, elasticity and complexion, preventing dryness and dehydration, and flavonoids encouraging cell renewal and regeneration, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and stretch marks, restoring luster to dull, dry and lifeless hair. Due to its unique phytosterol composition it's especially effective in treating such conditions as acne, blemishes, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, chickenpox, dermatitis, as well as healing small wounds, cuts, burns and alleviating pain caused by sunburn and peeling skin. In addition to its cosmetic uses, argan oil is a culinary oil with a lot of health benefits as well: it lowers cholesterol levels by blocking cholesterol absorption from the intestines, facilitates digestion by increasing the concentration of pepsin in the gastric juice, reduces inflammation by soothing the stomach lining, stimulates blood circulation, protects against heart disease, boosts the immune system. I've been using this organic argan oil only for a few weeks, by the results speak for themselves: my complexion has improved, my skin is softer and smoother and has a healthy glow, my acne has cleared up, redness and inflammation is gone, some fine lines have faded, my scalp is no longer dry, itchy and flaky, my hair is healthier. Will definitely order it again.
All it says and more!

I am very happy to have ordered this product and I based my purchase on other women's recommendations. I also will recommend this product. I love it and will continue buying it. I'm 68 years old and needed something for my face and have tried so many creams with no luck. My husband after only 2 weeks has remarked how he sees a difference in wrinkles and texture. Just think if I keep using it. Really wonderful product for your skin.
Amazing oil

I've never been a fan of standard facial moisturiser as I've never been lucky enough to find one that doesn't make my face feel oily and or congested. The only other oil I've tried is pure, organic rosehip but found that it wasn't particularly moisturising or beneficial even after continued use. When I first received the Acure Organics Argan Oil I was happy to see that the packaging was simple, modern and fresh, inline with the rest of the range. At first I used too much and the oil did not sink into my skin but instead sat on top and felt greasy. I found that the optimum amount for my face is 1 - 2 drops maximum and instead of rubbing it in like a standard moisturiser, I pat and press it onto the skin and allow the warmth of my hands to help the oil sink in. My face doesn't feel oily or clogged but instead looks smooth and plump and I have not broken out after multiple uses. This little jar will last me a while but I will definitely repurchase again.

I've tried and used many other Argan Oil before, but this one by Acure is so far the BEST I've ever used and I love it! Very moisturizing and works wonders for all over my sensitive skin, the whole body! I sometimes mix a few drops of organic lavender essential oil with it for extra care after taking a bath before bed. Very relaxing! I just love it and highly recommend it to especially those who have sensitive skin! But of course, it's great for all skin type!

I saw this on Dr. OZ and decided to try it and I noticed results in the first week! My skin looks amazing! I use it every night, and yes, your face is a bit oily when you first apply it but it does absorb while you sleep. I suffer from adult acne and have had very few breakouts and the ones I have had have healed VERY fast. Even my husband has noticed that my skin looks healthier and more toned. I even put some in my hair and the next day it is so soft and smooth. I will always use this product!!!

Curiosity's Seven Minutes of Terror: VIDEO
The Mars rover Curiosity will touch down tomorrow morning. It is the size of a big sedan, and it has been traveling through the near-vacuum of intrastellar space for eight months. If it lands safely, it will probe the rocks and dirt in and around Gale Crater in the hope of finally establishing whether Mars was ever a suitable environment for life. It will be a magnificent achievement; one all of humanity will be able to boast about for millenia.
But -- have you ever tried landing a sedan-sized rover on a planet that resides at an average of 225 million kilometers from Earth? On a planet with an atmosphere so thin that parachutes won't be sufficient to slow its descent? It's not easy. Ian Sample, of The Guardian, has written an excellent explanation of the process by which NASA scientists intend to get Curiosity aground -- an improbable, crazy-sounding sequence of mechanical feats which the involved scientists have begun calling "Seven Minutes of Terror." And NASA has produced a sharp, graphics-heavy video to explain the same thing. Harrowing stuff! Watch AFTER THE JUMP ...

- EXCELLENTNabardaDined on 11/22/2014Always great food and service. The veal dishes are especially good. You won't find fried things smothered in red sauce and gooey cheese here. The restaurant is really worth seeking out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sadly disappointing...PhydeaudeauxVIPDined on 11/7/2014It has been a while since my last visit to Andiamo, and I was looking forward to this weekend's dinner with friends. It didn't go well. The biggest issue is price vs. portion... for example, a $12 spinach salad would have cost half that amount at any other high-end Italian restaurant. The same goes for pasta dishes. And by high-end, I mean a stand-alone building with great atmosphere not a strip center in a dodgy part of town. Service was spotty; pleasant, but large gaps between visits. They may have been slammed with a surge in seatings before us, but that doesn't excuse the results especially given the prices charged. The food lived up to my recollections from previous visits. Get the prices (or portions) right, and all will be well.
- Lovelyaml653VIPDined on 11/3/2014We had a lovely experience at Andiamo. It was quiet, which is to be expected for a Monday night. The staff was so kind and accommodating, and made great recommendations on food. They had lots of fun tips and facts to share about the family-run business, the menu items and Italy in general. The roasted red bell pepper soup was delicious. Carbonara was divine. Definitely a great find, off the beaten path. As many others have said, don't let the exterior fool you. This is the real deal.Special Features:
- Naples region fairDiscerningAustiniteVIPDined on 11/1/2014Nice quaint restaurant, overall experience was adequate, could be better. Our 1st table wabeled, so we were moved. This seemed to cause the 2nd problem, which was not getting water or a waiter for 10 minutes. When we ordered, both my wife and I ordered the gnocchi with meat sauce. We were suprised when it arrived that there was no meat to be found. We brought it to the attention of the waiter, who in turn sent the manager. She came by and informed us that they used meat broth to make it, so the menu was accurate. We both felt deceived. The manager seemed to be from Italy and she came off condescending. So we paid our bill and left. The gnocchi was ok, the salad "special" was good, the was bread excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!BarbDined on 11/1/2014We don't live in Austin so searched for this restaurant online. Couldn't have asked for more! We were totally pleased with everything and would go back in a minute...and recommend it to anyone asking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- An Authentic Experience Hidden AwayAustinExplorerDined on 10/20/2014The restaurant itself is by far the most hidden restaurant of its class I have ever seen. The restaurant's outside is unassuming but the inside is perfect for a quiet dinner. The food was fantastic. I have to call out the service as utterly fantastic. I have never personally been to a Four or Five Star restaurant but their service is what I would expect from one. The waiter was extremely helpful and personable. We were there on a quiet evening but I honestly felt I could wear anything from business casual to a tux and feel right at home. Its definitely a special occasion destination and I highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Visiting AustinSilverLakeFoodieDined on 10/18/2014I booked this restaurant 1) because I was staying nearby; 2) because it wasn't a chain and had gotten fairly good reviews on Yelp. Well the food was really quite bad. The polenta had a slight crust on the top which indicated it had been sitting under heat (heat lamps?). It was also heavy as lead. I was hoping for something better for the main course. Not to be. My main course and that of my companion were equally bad. The veal scallopini was rolled and tough. The chicken dish was also rolled and tough. Both had obviously been sitting under heat lamps as well. Needless to say, the whole meal was a disappointment in a city (Austin) where food is generally wonderful. And although the waiter tried hard, he was only one of two on a Saturday.
- Outstanding FoodAustanDined on 10/18/2014I want to bring my friends and family here and come back with my wife as often as possible. We like really good food restaurants where you can bring your own wine and this is one of the best in Austin. We love authentic Italian food and Andiamo is very authentic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AustinDinerVIPDined on 10/10/2014Andiamo has the best Italian food in Austin. Authentic, delicious and interesting. I had the pumpkin ravioli in brown butter and sage. It was excellent. A real fall treat.Special Features:
- Excellent foodLoveitDined on 10/4/2014We had not been to Andiamo in years and wanted to stay away from downtown on this busy ACL weekend. From the fresh bread to the outstanding muchroom salad with nuts/seeds and garlic to the sea scallops in a light cream sauce - all the food was outstanding. They even brought us a complimentary dessert when we told them we were celebrating our anniversary. I highly recommend this little gem located in a strip mall!Special Features:
- Best Italian Food Ever!AsianSmallsDined on 9/23/2014At a glance the menu is a little pricey compared to most places, but it is most definitely worth every penny. It's a Northwest Austin gem, plenty of parking! The employees are extremely nice. We had Joe and he was amazing, explained the menu and answered any questions that we had. He has great suggestions. The soup is so delicious. The bread is beyond amazing and my favorite thing here. We ordered the spaghetti and gnocchi and chicken. Everything truly was cooked to perfection! The gelato was spot on and the profiteroles were melt in your mouth delicious.Special Features:
- Great FoodoraystricklandVIPDined on 9/16/2014Very friendly staff, accommodating (allowed me to bring in a special wine for a corkage fee). Mid week was not crowded, perhaps due to weather. Normally shy away from strip mall restaurants, but big exception here. Privately owned. Will go again.Special Features:
- Wonderful as usualEmpressUDined on 9/16/2014Andiamo is one of our favorite Austin dining spots - quiet, fantastic food and service. Never a less than stellar meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday niteOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/13/2014Our dinner for 4 last Saturday was a special occasion, we had multiple courses, several wines, and I came away really disappointed in the meal overall. The signature salad was really off, tiny and boring. the eggplant ho-hum, sausage ok, gnocchi really poor and the stuffed trout was ok just not seasoned or anything special. My guests were from the dining trade and foodies and I could tell let down. Andiamo does not have the greatest of locations or buildlings..thats fine, its not expensive but certainly not cheap. This means to me the food has to totally perform and I was really let down. I've had very good to fantastic lunches at this restaurant in the past. Because of this Ill try again but it will need to hit next time.Special Features:
- stillinloveafter30yearsDined on 9/10/2014The food was delicious; but overpriced. Service was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food, gerat service, quietArtWolfDined on 9/3/2014My wife and I went there for her birthday, and we had a great time. It is a quiet place, the ambiance is very good without being too fancy, and the food, wine and service were excellent. The server made sure we were happy and having a good time, even though we did not mention to him that it was a special occasion. So I would recommend this place for a quiet, romantic dinner. The background music was classical music, which I like very much.Special Features:
- Amazing Food - Too many babies!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We tried Andiamo's for the first time this weekend for our anniversary. We had been looking for a great Italian restaurant in Austin for years with no luck...until now! The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and attentive without being pushy. They allowed us to take our time and enjoy each course. Our only issue was that on a Saturday night (our reservation was for 7:30pm) we encountered 3 tables with screaming babies. It is an intimate space, so the screams carry and really took away from our romantic evening. But, let me reiterate, the food was AMAZING!Special Features:

- Wonderful surpriseJDL1127Dined on 8/13/2014As you drive by this strip shopping center, you would never guess the hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Great service, pleasant ambience, lovely food presentation, delightful menu! The bread is to die for... The Calamari Fritti is a nice starter. Two of my favorites are the Linguine Luci Johnson (Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, mix mushrooms, arugula and crushed red pepper flakes in a garlic olive oil sauce) and Trota Ripiena (Grilled rainbow trout filled with spring vegetables and crab meat in light white wine sauce, served with potatoes and spinach).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding food and serviceJeffVIPDined on 8/4/2014Love this place. Always great food and amiable, knowledgeable wait staff. Last night I dined alone, here, for the first time (my wife and I have been here a few dozen times over the years) and I had the absolutely best meal… vitello de rosmarino. It was sublimely tasty and accompanied by a delicate mashed potato along with a lightly sautéed green, red and yellow peppers. Truly one of the very best meals I have had in years. And, Joseph, my waiter was attuned to my need to savor the meal and available when I just wanted to chat… his service skills made a great dish even better. And their Italian wines by the glass are excellent, as is their cappuccino and dolce. Highly recommend this wonderful gem of a restaurant in Northwest Austin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always excellent.blixcoDined on 7/21/2014Andiamo is some of the best Italian food outside of Italy. Every time we go, we're impressed, and it is probably the only restaurant we've been to that seems to get it right every single time, every single detail. Plus, they have a vegetarian tasting menu, can make certain dishes vegan or gluten free, and have an excellent Italian wine list.Special Features:

- BessyDined on 7/14/2014Do not judge this restaurant from the out side; it is in a shopping center and does not look like much, from the parking lot. The food is very good, I would consider it gourmet, the portions are small however, so not great for big appetites. It is costly though, the bill came to over $200.00 for four people! We will go back on special occasions only because of the cost.Special Features:

- A FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/28/2014Andiamo sustains its ability to satisfy. The menu has something for everyone. The food is fresh, imaginative and delicious. The Andiamo bread is worth mentioning - notable (house made/special recipe and memorable). The atmosphere is lovely, the prices are moderately set, and the servers are friendly and helpful. Andiamo is consistent and usually full, or nearly full. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Welcoming and wonderfulLauraMDined on 6/13/2014Andiamo's has been a place for special occasions for my husband and I. We returned for our anniversary and were as pleased as always.

Our waiter's knowledge of the wines helped us choose a good one, and we enjoyed the terrific service and the restaurant staff's friendliness and hospitality. It was a perfect romantic and satisfying Italian meal!Special Features:

We will definitely return to Andiamo's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary DinnerJimnSueDined on 6/7/2014We dined here for our 18th wedding anniversary. We were offered our choice of seating in the main area or a room off to the back. We chose the latter. It was very quiet for our occasion and service was prompt. Our waiter seemed a little distracted, but the manager took time to talk to us and was very attentive. The fileto choice with the deglazed cherries was outstanding and the recommended wine paring was on point. My wife had the veal ravioli which was also delicious. After dinner the manager presented us with two flutes of prosecco which was delightful. Overall the experience was great and the food was excellent. Our only disappointment was the tiramisu which was a little too soggy which took away from the flavor of the dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

'Better than five out of ten' - Massa
|K. Kobayashi
|P. Maldonado
|P. di Resta
24 February 2012 – Felipe Massa believes Ferrari is still some way off achieving a race-winning pace ahead of the 2012 F1 season. Echoing the Tuesday sentiments of team-mate Fernando Alonso, the Brazilian stresses that much work remains ahead of the Maranello team, which last claimed the drivers' title with Kimi Räikkönen in 2007.
As the majority of teams focussed on serious setup work in Barcelona on Friday, Massa could be seen performing straight-line aerodynamic runs on the start/finish straight, signalling that Ferrari is still attempting to establish a strong base configuration for its F2012.
"We are working to have the best car we can to fight for victories and for the championship, like we did in 2008, and I hope we can be like that," the Paulista told GPUpdate.net and the gathered media.
"Until the first race it is very difficult to know. Last year, we were leading many days in testing here and then we were more than one second off the pace in the first qualifying session. We will be sure when we're in Australia."
When asked to rate Ferrari's performance on a scale of one to ten, Massa replied:
"I think more than five, but there is still work to be done to be close to where we want, which is ten. At least we have made a good step to find the direction we need to go in."
For the final pre-season test next week, Ferrari will start one day later than the majority of teams (on Friday) and thus finish a day later, on Monday. After Red Bull asked permission to follow suit and join the Italians' private Monday test, the latter agreed.

Adding $5 to the bottom line after payment of the SEC fines are complete doesn't change this reality. Where's their demostrated profitability? Where's their competitive advantage?

Microsoft makes biggest play in gaming with SmartGlass
BY Andy ihnatko firstname.lastname@example.com June 5, 2012 5:50PM
Guests line up to play Gods of War Ascension at the PlayStation booth at E3 on Tuesday in Los Angeles. AP
Updated: July 7, 2012 8:48AM
Although the overt focus of the arena-rock event E3, thrown in L.A. by Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo was on gaming, the subtext was on the future. How will each of these platforms remain relevant, in a world in which a device that people already own plays games that sell tens of millions of units at just 99 cents a throw?
Nintendo's answer: with a crazy-belated entry into HD gaming (the Wii U deck) and a huge, touchscreen controller with an integrated color screen (the GamePad). Both will be released in time for the holidays, though pricing is unknown. The bigger unknown: Will developers embrace the GamePad? Unlike the distinctive controllers that made the original Wii a huge hit, the GamePad won't be included with the Wii U. It's an option. Players and developers alike might choose the much cheaper option of not embracing the thing at all.
Sony's taking the broader approach, with a continued push into smartphone gaming. Playstation Mobile (formerly Playstation Suite) attempts to stretch the influence of the Playstation platform into Android and Windows Mobile devices with custom games and content. The Whys and Hows are still a little vague, and mentions of Sony's Playstation Vita handheld were less-than-vague. Curious, for a mobile platform that was released to so much fanfare so recently.
Microsoft took the most ambitious and aggressive stance. Their presentation would have been just as appropriate for a non-gaming venue. They're clearly messaging the Xbox beyond a game system and positioning it as "the computer that hooks up to your HDTV." Toward that end: Bing Search and Kinect voice commands that stretch across all forms of content, plus a new Xbox edition of Internet Explorer which is completely voice-controllable.
And where the Wii GamePad brings second-screen gaming and video through an expensive add-on, Xbox SmartGlass is an app that'll run on whatever mobile device you already own.
No wonder Microsoft hammered that point home so loudly. In gaming, the Xbox's biggest competitor is Sony. Its biggest threat as "the computer that hooks up to your TV" is whatever Apple might show off Monday, during their own keynote to Mac and iOS developers.

Delta Airlines vs American Airlines
Delta Airlines and American Airlines are two Airliner services that provide good service to the customers in different ways. Both of them are indeed viewed upon differently by the customers. American Airlines was the winner of the Gay Travel Award for the best airline in 2010 and Delta Airline was the first runner up.
It is true that Delta Airlines provides extra perks and comforts to its customers. As a result customers deem it a pleasure to fly on Delta Airlines. American Airlines provides its customers a great travel experience which they cannot forget.
Some of the perks provided by Delta Airlines to its passengers include exemption from direct ticket fees, vacation packages, online booking bereft of charges and other offers that grant bonus miles to travel. On the other hand American Airlines presents its customers with various offers too including dollar-rent-a-car, fly now payment plan and varieties of vacation packages to choose from.
There are three classes of travel in the Delta Airlines. They are Business Elite, First Class and Economy Class. On the other hand American Airlines provides its passengers with three cabins, namely, the First Class Cabin, the Business Class Cabin and the Coach Cabin. Seat pitch and seat width are almost same in both airlines.
It is interesting to note that Delta Airlines provides Wi-Fi access to its customers on short haul flights and in few of the long haul flights, in addition to other forms of entertainment during travel. On the other hand American Airlines provide more power ports for your mobile gadgets than any other airliner for that matter. They too provide other entertainment too during travel.
It is important to know that in addition to the wonderful power ports the American Airlines provide nice storage bins overhead. These bins are large enough to keep many of your personal belongings.
It is quite amazing to know that Delta Airlines takes its passengers to a large number of destinations in the world. To be more precise you can say that as many as 900 destinations are covered by the Delta Airlines. On the other hand American Airlines covers as many as 250 cities in about 40 countries.
As a matter of fact rates are affordable in both the airlines. It is good to know that customer service also is up to the mark both in the case of Delta Airlines and American Airlines. There has always been a choice made by the passengers when it comes to traveling by Delta Airlines and American Airlines. The truth is that both the airlines are equally popular among the travelers and passengers.

Task for Commission:
Simplify regulations while maintaining the original intent.
Eliminate unnecessary duplication
Reduce paperwork involve
Coordinate regulations between departments
Seek input from those most effected by the regulation.(These are the people with the practical expertise)
Seek input from the general public.
This shouldn't be window dressing. We need to think out of the box, Maybe several University Business schools could be involved to coordinate it. A good model for getting input might be the Harvard Nurses Study group.

Suggestion on jobs creation + economic stimulus: Lower the retirement age for Social Security and increase the social security payout. For example — lowering the age to 60 and increasing the benefits would: 1 – encourage older workers to retire, creating new job opportunities for younger workers, and 2 – by increasing the social security payout you are stimulating economic growth., and 3 – Giving some security to older Americans who can make house payments, etc.

I suggest we build more High-tech Scientific Medical Research Hospitals.All Americans should have access to free medical and healthcare. I think if Canada can do it so can we. Bring more industries here and return our manufacturing jobs…clothing, shoes, and product manufacturing and high tech, auto manufacturing, airplanes etc Don't allow our manufaturers to go overseas. Fine them if they do. We need to grow with more high tech jobs but we also need to keep what America has lost for the average worker…trade jobs. Where did our steelmills go and why did it cost more here in the USA to continue with our own resources? Where are the farmers, the bricklaying, the glass and pottery companies, the call centers, steelmill workers..how can we thrive if all our resources are sent overseas. I live in Florida and now KSC has 8,000 workers laid off and it all has a trickling down affect on our economy here in Brevard alone. And crime has increased and yet, our policeforces are renewing proposals to lay off law enforcers when we need them the most! Our schools are affected too. Since when did we as children have to provide our own school supplies or expect the teachers to pay for them? Our public schools had the supplies and resources they needed to teach back then.
We need more schools built, more shopping malls, more small businesses but this economy as it is cannot improve without enough jobs period. We need to think high tech sure, but most of all, we need our trade jobs back too..the foundation of America that once all other countries looked up to. And the elderly, where are their breaks with increased rentals and higher prices on everything. How can social security be enough without people sacrificing by eating less, spending little at the grocery stores and cutting back on their prescriptions and doctor visits. The world is not looking very good and we all need hope and change. Don't just say it, do it. Times are tough. We do not and cannot allow 'illegal' immigration…it takes away what jobs there are, costs more in medical and education for our own people…I believe in "American's First". We have always been a compassionate nation but illegal is just that..a crime.

when the republicans ask "are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" ask romney and gang, "how much better off are you than you were 4 years ago?"
the implication is that romney and gang have done significantly better than joe blow…and should maybe give them pause to think about the significant problems we have come through…maybe not smelling like a rose exactly yet, but on the way.

Who wants a president that can hide money just like, or better than Bernard Madoff? Madoff didn't have the interests of the people in mind, only himself. It's the same as Mitt Romney. I'm not at all confident with the idea of a president who's able to direct government funds to businesses he may own or benefit from. How would we know if he continuously presents a maze of business entities, and neglects to reveal his taxes on the sources of his multiple sources of income.
Is he funded by Madoff-like backers? He should be forced to put up, or get out of the race. We want to see the tax records. It is important because our president should be an open book, not hidden behind a maze of loopholes and shell corporations. NO WALL STREET PRESIDENTS ALLOWED.

|Columbus (Ohio) Area Chapter
2014 Work Days
Sept 27 -- Westerville Public Library, 130pm to 4pm
Oct 26 -- Pickerington Public Libary 1pm to 5pm
Dec 7 -- Joanns Dublin, 1pm to 4pm
Project Linus began in 1995 as the brainchild of Karen Loucks, who saw an article in Parade Magazine titled Joy to the World. It was written by Pulitzer Prize winning photo-journalist, Eddie Adams. Part of the article featured a little girl who was comforted through her chemotherapy treatment by her blanket. Karen and some of her friends began making blankets and donating them to children at the local cancer care center. Since then, Project Linus has given over 2,000,000 blankets to children worldwide in a variety of stressful situations. Our name is taken from the Peanuts character that is never without a blanket of his own. Charles Schulz knew about Project Linus and approved the use of his lovable character in the cause of providing security blankets for needy children. As a result of Mr. Schulz' support, Project Linus blanketeers sew an identifying fabric tag with the Linus character on it to each blanket before delivery to the children.
Mission Statement
* Project Linus is a non-profit volunteer organization with a two-fold mission.
* First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."
* Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
You can now DONATE to our chapter through WWW.GOFUNDME.COM
Would you like to make a monetary donation to our chapter?
The average cost of making a blanket is $50. While some volunteers provide their own supplies, many have limited resources so we want to be able to provide supplies whenever necessary.
Funds are used for blanket making materials, postage, event supplies, and other chapter related events.
Can we count on your help in 2014?
We have raised over $300 just since the Fall 2013!
Thank you for your generosity!
