Your acne looks pretty light to me. I'd try other stuff before accutane. What have you tried?
I typed what I'm currently doing in my previous post. I am currently applying Ziana during the night time and Aczone during the morning. I also take the oral medication I put up a picture of in my original post.

The Spirit Will Remain Lyrics - Edguy
Review The Song (1)
A Scent of rain
A healing breeze
Is blown into my face
To feel desire
And raise my head
To gaze at the sky
And watch the setting sun
Breaking through
The darkened clouds
And I feel that I
Am still alive and breathe
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will remain
For all the world to see
No matter what you claim
The spirit will remain
They wanna see me down
On my wounded knees
Wanna see me cry
But my eyes
Have run out of tears
When there's nothing left to pay
Just a little light of day
I got something
You can't take away
Fly away
Far away
Deep inside
Shelter for my spirit and my pride
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will be free

KO The Seahawks....Or Else
By Christopher Mayone
Jets Insider.com Staff Correspondent
December 14th, 2004
So Chad Pennington looked like Bambi in the headlights of a Mack truck.
Two days later they are sore, still bruised, and obviously extremely disappointed that they had a chance to knock off the 12-1 Steelers in their own backyard and make a statement to the NFL.
Omit the help from an official who called Anthony Becht for holding on a long run by Lamont Jordan, a missed tackle by Reggie Tongue on Jerome Bettis, and a few noodle arm throws by Pennington the Jets could have beat arguably the best team in the league.
Despite the loss, the Jets are still in control of their own destiny, still have nine wins, and are still a very good football team. They traveled to Pittsburgh, went tooth-and-nail with a team that is unbeatable at Heinz Field and fell just a little short. Unfortunately the Jets just ran out of steam at the end. The Steelers used the dual running back system to perfection. Duce Staley wore them down in the first three quarters and then the bus rolled over them in the end. The Steelers did with Bettis what the Jets should have done with Jordan.
But its not the end of the world. Thanks to the three-game winning streak, the Jets rode into Pittsburgh with a small amount of house money they blew like an addicted gambler. Now with both Denver and Baltimore winning on Sunday, there is no more room for error. They had a two game lead in the race to play San Diego and room for one trip up.
Head Coach Herman Edwards prides himself on being a master motivator and he needs to prove it this week. Its time shut up, stop the speeches, line up and punish a Seattle team that is not in the same class as the Jets.
Seattle is in first place. But thats in the XFL, aka the NFC.
With New England coming to town next week, the Jets need to punish a horrible Seattle defense and fasten their seat belts in the wildcard drivers seat.
Lose this week to a west coast NFC team at home in December and you dont deserve the playoffs. Lose this week and have to win out just to sniff the sixth seed and the Jets collapse will almost be Yankee-like. To start 5-0 and not make the playoffs is just as bad as blowing a 3-0 lead in the ALCS.
The Ravens likely finish 10-6 with the Colts, Steelers, and Dolphins left. Denver should finish the same playing the Chiefs, Titans, and Colts. Buffalo is rolling and after starting 0-4, have gotten their heads above water and at 7-6. With the 49ers and Bengals left they are a lock for nine wins. Jets fans better hope Pittsburgh has something to play for in week 17 because if they rollover and rest for the playoffs, they could leapfrog us with their 10th win. Jacksonville, also 7-6, should lose in Green Bay this week dropping them to .500 and all but ousting them from the race.
This though is the NFL and like the cliché says, on any given Sunday anything could happen.
Nonetheless, this Sunday Gang Green better win. If the Jets lose this week fall to the Pats next Sunday they will be 9-6 going into St. Louis against a team that will be home and likely fighting for their division. Not a scenario any Coach wants their team to be in. If this is the way it turns out, Jets better say their rosary the night before the game because they will need help.
If the Jets lose this week and have to scoreboard watch the next two weeks, they dont deserve to be in the postseason.

Featured properties
Barcelona is a popular coastal city on the Costa Garraf Maresme in Barcelona province, Catalonia region.
Despite the political and football animosity between Spain's second capital and Madrid, Barcelona really is a jewel in Spain's crown.
The city of Barcelona is worth a visit for so many reasons - and buying property here isn't as expensive as you might think. Although one of Spain's more expensive cities to purchase in, buying a property in Barcelona also comes with excellent rental potential - both short and long term lets.
Like other major cities in Spain, Barcelona lead the economic and housing recovery in 2013. House prices are on the increase but still not exorbitant. For example, a two bed apartment overlooking the marina complex could cost as little as €250,000.
On average, two bed properties in Barcelona city are advertised at a little over €300,000, while four-bed properties are marketed at an average of €750,000. Certainly, property in Barcelona city isn't the cheapest in Spain, but compared to other large European cities, Barcelona offers a lot of value.
Barcelona, is Spain's second largest city after Madrid, with a population of 1.6 million in the centre. Including its suburbs, Barcelona boasts a population of approximately 5 million people, making it the largest city on the Mediterranean. From a wealth and business perspectives, many view Barcelona as where it's at in Spain, rather than Madrid.
Getting to Barcelona is easy by plane, train and road. Just 13km south of the city, El Prat airport is well-connected internationally and regular train and bus services provide fast access the city. Girona airport is only 75km to the north and offers another access point.
From the centre of the city, the AVE high speed train service whisks you at 300km per hour west to Madrid and North to Girona and onwards to France. The city is also well-served by the motorway network and its port connects Barcelona to many Mediterranean destinations, and beyond.
You'll hear Catalan spoken in Barcelona, rather than Castilian Spanish, but many European languages are also in regular use in this cosmopolitan city. Don't worry about trying out your rusty Spanish here - the locals will appreciate the gesture and respond in kind. However, they prefer to reply in Catalan to other Spaniards who only speak Castilian Spanish. Thank General Franco for that - oh and maybe a little of the Barca / Real Madrid rivalry on the football pitch.
Barcelona city is situated on the coast and its seaside location is one of the reasons Barcelona is such a special place to visit. The cuisine is generally excellent and the views and walks are spectacular. Visitors new to Barcelona would do well to follow an organised tour. Audio-guided walks are a very popular way of experiencing this quite compact city and an excellent introduction to particular themes - whether it be architecture, Gaudi or gastronomy.
Barcelona enjoys a typical mediterranean climate with cool-ish winters and hot summers. The coastal location saves Barcelona from the worst extremes with winter temperatures averaging 9 degrees C and summer around 25 degrees C.

Microsoft strikes back at Outlook 2010 rendering grumbles
Microsoft has upset a bunch of Outlook users who loudly complained about the firm's decision to retain the Word rendering engine in its mail client for the 2010 edition. A campaign kicked off on the interwebs after many Outlook users grumbled that Microsoft had once again snubbed HTML rendering as the default option in the next …
Absolutely Ridiculous.
Who the *%^&$ is he to say that there is no specifically designated Subset" of HTML widely in use that has been adopted by people. How about just HTML? Surely Microsoft cannot say they support "HTML Emails" if they dont actually follow the HTML standard? Every other client at least manages to half way support HTML to a point where we can code something that looks good in a non retarded way. But No - because of Outlook all email developers have to create some "Fisher Price my First HTML" code to fit in with the MS word "Fisher Price my First Rendering Engine".
I am pissed off with this as I have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my email to display correctly in Outlook 2007 - even after following the retarded 1995 method of coding HTML (tables - inline styles - no background images) it still doesnt look ideal. So even with my hands tied behind my back - Microsoft still takes pleasure in repeatedly kicking me in the balls and silently mocking me with broken layouts (and broken tables - HOW????).
Fine - so use word to compose the message but at least use Internet Explorer to Render incoming emails - thats is at least (a bit) less broken than your shitty email client.
I hope someone renders the face of the guy who decided that word rendering was a good idea.
We don' need no steenkin' "'Email Standards Project"...
>"There is no widely-recognised consensus in the industry about what subset of HTML is appropriate for use in email for interoperability."
Yes there is. It's the null subset. The "standard" for HTML email is "JUST DON'T YOU AOL/WEBTV-USING TWUNT!!!1!".
Plain text RFC822. The one and only true ordained standard!
I hope
I really hope that MS doesn't change anything
The only people who seem to be crying over this are the web designers, the people who design all those crappy HTML emails you never read, or you make sure they go to a seperate email account just so you can sign up for the service but ignore any crap they insist on sending you every week/month/day/hour or have some new amazing marketing initiative you really just have to see.
Yes, I'm talking about the SPAM you don't read, don't really want and they would save themselves a lot of effort if they sent a plain-text SHORT email with a few links for those people (i.e. themselves, mothers and girlfiriends) who really do want to read the marketing speak and have their eyes assulted.
What ever email client I use, i ALWAYS have images turned off just to spare myself the pain. Plus the email loads/downloads a lot quicker meaning it can hit the trash can a lot quicker too (win-win)
Of course there are also the complaints from those who jump on the MS bashing bandwagon without really thinking about what they are complaining about and really need to work on improving their own sad little lives rather than constantly looking to critise a software company. IF MS is that bad then piss off and use something else.
Strangely enough, email from real people I know with content that does actually matter to me and I want to read, react to and respond to always renders fine in outlook 2007
Ironic website?
I hope the fact that their website is an ugly bloated slow pig is an ironic dig at Outlook.
Personally I think we should all go back to plain text email. If you want shiny pictures and fancy layouts, send a PDF attachment, or a link to a web page.
Luddite? Moi?
C'mon, c'mon...
Oh FFS. It's not "Outlook users" complaining. And saying that Microsoft has "snubbed HTML rendering as the default option" is meaningless. The people complaining are professional designers who are tasked by their clients to create HTML email. If Outlook uses a broken rendering engine rather than a standards-compliant one, it makes life much more difficult.
"we believe it's the best email authoring experience around, with rich tools that our Word customers have enjoyed for over 25 years."
Best email authoring experience? What sort of bullshit is that? Its a sodding email for God's sake, not a prize winning novel.
HTM smell
A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that HTML in e-mails was only of use to spies, thieves, spammers and tossers. (Ok, I can understand non-PC-literate grandparents wanting to see pics of the family).
Has anything happened since then that might make me change my mind?
Why use MS Outlook ???
It is hard to believe that users of MS Outlook care about web-standards, the least standard-complaiant e-mail software. If you want an HTML e-mail software you can use an open-source one like Thunderbird !!!
Bring back buggy whips!
Sorry, but while I get a little annoyed with the cut and paste and permanent spacing/format changes that occasionally occur, I still prefer the capabilities in 2007 to say Outlook Express or some Web email client. Keep going Microsoft, move along, nothing to see back there...and please fix the annoying cut and paste issue at some point so I can stop using Notepad when it occurs.
Does anyone
Actually USE outlook? - business users aside - its Thunderbird all the way for my systems....
No news here...
As if anyone would expect anything different from Redmond. They're the epitome of the "not invented here" paradigm. Only when every effort at destroying a "foreign standard" has failed, will they go along to get along. Even then, they will continue to attempt to pollute established standards with their proprietary bloat. Grumble all you want, then if you have any sense, you'll quit paying them their tribute and use something, anything, except for their overpriced, overweight, ponderous crudware. You DO have choices. Kwitcherbitchin and get on with your life.
How sad can you get
Email standardisation? - These people make the EU look like a bunch of anarchist hippies.
Its email ffs - the web equivalent of postcards.
Twit ering themselves...
HTML for email? Why? Plain text for me. Don't need all of those fancy colors, graphics, etc. I use outlook, but I always compose and respond in plain text only.
Meh! Do all email in plain, mono-spaced text. And no colours. And no top-posting, whilst we are at it.....
Don't fix outlook (dot org)
Stop sending bloody HTML emails!
Paving the way to impose their own standard, as per usual.
If they don't own the accepted standard and can't bribe anybody into adopting theirs, they simply pretend that the standard isn't really a standard and ignore it.
Same old BS from MS.
HTML != Email...
...and folks who insist on using it without seriously good reason should be forced to spend their days looking at web pages that consist entirely of blinking marquees (or crappy Flash pages!).
20,000 complaints?
Wow, people really are out in force then eh? Does it not occur to the freetard brigade that their are probably single organisations with more than 20,000 Outlook users alone, let alone worldwide. The idea that it represents a "significant" amount is laughable.
fixoutlook.org site
My God, that is the most distressing site I have ever visited. My eyes were trying to read the content, but the horrible refreshing background made me feel sick.
The worst that Web 2.0 has to offer....
Dear Lord
Outlook using Word for email is bloatware using more bloatware. With that state of mind, it's no wonder Vista needs 4GB of RAM and a quad-core to run about well (note to trolls : don't bother refuting that).
I do email with a browser on a web-based interface. I can Bold, Underline and Italicize and that's all I need for an email. If you want to send a proper letter, by all means type it up in whatever Office version you want and send it as an attachment - but please, use a compression tool first.
Outlook is their last bastion
Mind you, with OpenOffice providing already 80% of Office functionality (if not more) with very good file format compatibility, Windows being less hardware compatible (and requiring more expensive gear) than Mac or the last Linux releases, Outlook is their last point of resistance to avoid them being kicked out of the business desktop altogether.
And not a bad choice by Microsoft, by the way. Outlook means Exchange which means Active Directory.... and from there is just a baby step to jump into SharePoint, which means SQLServer which.... Outlook is the first point of an argument that ends up with your whole enterprise being Microsoftized
Outlook is also a very good choice as it does not have a credible equivalent be it open or closed. Oh please, don't mention Lotus Notes.
He speak with forked tongue (again!)
"There is no widely-recognised consensus in the industry about what subset of HTML is appropriate for use in email for interoperability. The 'Email Standards Project' does not represent a sanctioned standard or an industry consensus in this area," he said.
Hmm, isn't it called an "RFC" in internet-speak?
And IIRC, the subset of HTML found in the RFC looks like this: < >
"Read all standard mail in plain text" option
As long as Outlook retains its "Read all standard mail in plain text", I don't really care what rendering engine it uses.
"Rich" is the new "Proprietary"
Same old same old from MS.
Fixinated ...
"... We are constantly working to improve our products and the experience that they give to our customers. It is just a shame that we are fucking shit at it though!"
"As for consensus, surely 20,000 individuals sending a unified message in less than 24 hours is something at least worth your consideration."
Idiots....That's 20,000 individuals WHO STILL USE OUTLOOK no matter how bad it is. It just sends the message to MS that no matter how bad it is people will still use, so why bother wasting money to fix it! Maybe if you got those 20,000 people to uninstall Outlook, package the disk and licence up and send it to MS with a note telling em that they will never touch Outlook again until it is fixed they might get a reaction. Bottom line is, as long as people keep using it MS coudn't care less how bad it is.
Email should be text only anyway.
I hate looking at anything other than text in an email message. Email, properly, shouldn't have fonts, graphics, or video embedded. It should just be a message and nothing else. Something else, in the Outlook world, would be a Word document. That's not email. And don't even get me started on Outlook's horrendous bottom-quoting...
looking at my resources ... Outlook is eating 26,000k and WinWord 60,000k = 86,000k memory just to run email client.
That's a bit too much, don't you think?
@ Joel 1
Quite agree, bruv. Ah, whoops.
>Meh! Do all email in plain, mono-spaced text. And no colours. And no top-posting, whilst
>we are at it.....
HTML is NOT email FFS!!
fixoutlook.org must be the biggest bunch of whingeing, time wasting losers I have ever come across.
Next they'll all be expecting us to create our bloody emails in strict html, completely 100% css compliant code and we'll all need a degree in applied computer sciences just to be able to email Aunty Maureen about Dad's ongoing issue with heamorhoids.
Or something.
So what else is new?
M$ has had a long and honored tradition of ignoring the people who are dumb enough or who are by circumstances forced to buy their software.
The arrogance of Microsoft is amazing and yet how can you blame them when they still get people to pay for the same old pablum.
tables in plain text emails?
I use tables a lot to communicate information to my other developers around the world. I suppose if I used plain text email I could attach an Excel spreadsheet, but what's the point?
I don't see how you can communicate without some types of formatting in email. Plain text is for loosers.
As for MS, yes this blows. You shouldn't have to have Word installed to use Outlook. And they should just support HTML and drop rich text. Along those same lines, why does Apple's Mail.app only do Rich Text? It doesn't let you specify HTML as a format either.
20,000 people under the sea
Indeed. 20,000 people being forced to comply within the same 24 hour period says quite a lot.
Paris, compulsory compliance.
(Dear, God! Do we have enough bloody icons yet?!)
@Andy Cadley
"Does it not occur to the freetard brigade that their are probably single organisations with more than 20,000 Outlook users alone, let alone worldwide."
Why do point your criticism at the "freetard brigade"? Why, when an anti-MS story bobs up do you MS apologists always assume its "freetards" behind it?. MS piss off more people than just free software advocates, something you fanboys are blinkered too. Where did you pull the "freetard" angle from anyway? Obviously not from the article, but I If you look into it a little bit first, you find that fixoutlook.org is backed by a commercial(ie NOT FOR FREE!) supplier of email software. So it is "paytards" you should be bagging, you knob.
They buy shite and then complain because it smells?
HTML mail is here to stay guys, get over it.
Sorry, the dinosaurs in this discussion are those that hold on to "the best ways are the old ways".
Yes some HTML mail is spam (so is a lot of text mail), that's not a problem with HTML mail, its a problem with email standards that, unlike web standards, have not progressed and developed an improved security model and have failed to effectively roll out ways of, for just one example, preventing faking of the senders address.
If you don't like HTML mail you can turn it off, I dare say the same guys turn off images in their web-browsers, llisten to radio instead of watching TV or going to the movies, rip the pictures out of their daily newspaper.
I get some excellent opt-in HTML mailings, I value their *relevant* embedded images just as I find well designed illustrated graphical web pages more satisfactory than plain text ones.
Microsoft see no benefit in spending on improving outlook, just as they did with MSIE - until they saw they were losing out. The answer is a campaign to embed Outlook-only code in HTML mailings saying "You are using an obsolete email program, for the best experience of this email update to Gmail, T'bird... whatever".
Maybe we could have a special mime-type for outlook users?
BTW remember "Two years from now, spam will be solved," Bill Gates at the World Economic Forum participants in Davos in 2004.
So much for MS' capabilities in the sphere of email technologies.
I bloody hate HTMl email
Sod off about embedding crap in my emails.
The largest backer of the so-called Email Standards Project may well be a company who sells a spamming, sorry "email marketing", tool but 90% of the Twitter responses come from Freetards. I stand by my comment.
@Andy Cadley
I use Outlook 2007 with Gmail. I paid good money for Office2007, so not a freetard. I do find it frustrating that I can't mark up a copy of an email to describe a complex technical issue with key items highlighted in colour or embedded diagrams without the distinct possibility of the resulting email being screwed up simply because MS would rather I buy a $500 office suite to send emails.
" Does it not occur to the freetard brigade that their are probably single organisations with more than 20,000 Outlook users alone, let alone worldwide. The idea that it represents a "significant" amount is laughable"
What is laughable is to think that MS still control standards. If you actually had read the site, they point at stats which indicates that Outlook 2007 is about 7% of the market (likely to be over-represented as Gmail does not show up as much). You think 7% of the users should simply not get the rendering of documents right? The odd thing, is that IE8 render engine could get it right; but MS choose not to use it.
taken a look If the success of new standard compliance browsers like FF over IE6/IE7 is
This campaign wasnt started by outlook users, it was started by spammers complaining that their carefully crafted spam doesn't display the way they want to in outlook
I'm a heavy outlook user, solicited emails from people I want to receive email from, no matter which email client they used to compose the message always display perfectly in outlook
Do you really want outlook changing just to please the spammers?
Stop whining about HTML email
Who ever said that it is the professional designers who are being hit by this hit the nail on the head. My clients task me (and pay me) to create HTML emails for them - often from pre-existing designs. Therefore why should I suffer just because one particular client (which like it or not has a monopoly) refuses to follow specific standards (or at least try).
It took me an extra 2 hours tinkering with code to get it displaying correctly in outlook 2007 - why should I have to endure that?
Now that I am on a MAc 24/7 I find it rather amusing to see people jumping through hoops just to be able to continue using Microsoft's software. I mean, why bother? When do people reach the point where they just throw up their hands in desperation and kick MS to the curb.
Yes, Macs are more expensive, but my Hackintosh was only three hundred euros, and works like a dream. As soon as I open the lid it has woken from sleep, one second later it has reconnected me with my wifi, it can stay on standby for several days. I only use my iMac these days for entertainment (Plex ftw!) and my Mini 9 for actual work.
Embrace extend extinguish ha ha ha ha
"There is no widely-recognised consensus in the industry about what subset of HTML is appropriate for use in email for interoperability. The 'Email Standards Project' does not represent a sanctioned standard or an industry consensus in this area,"
So they'll make emails in Word format because obviously the industry must have reached a consensus about that being the new standard while we weren't looking.
Email should be plain text, replys at the bottom, lines preceeded by an indent symbol (usually ">"). Any other information that requries specific layouts can be sent as attachments. This worked fine for many years... until Outlook came along.
@Rod MacLean
"So they'll make emails in Word format because obviously the industry must have reached a consensus about that being the new standard while we weren't looking."
Er no... outlook sends emails in either plain text, rich text or HTML. Word may be used to edit/view the email but it is still transmitted under a standard format
And (not aimed at you Rob) outlook is an email client, not a web browser so it isn't the place for a "rich media experience"
Next thing the web 2.0 hacktards will want is flash embedding into emails. When will it end?
wrong target
"The largest backer of the so-called Email Standards Project may well be a company who sells a spamming, sorry "email marketing", tool "
If you read their T&C and forums the company in question is vehemently anti-spam, - no purchased lists, all recipients must be knowingly signed up - preferably using double opt-in which they provide. They refuse to send mail without an instant opt out link and a genuine senders email address. They have forum users complaining that it's all too easy to get your account there closed because of even just a handful of spam complaints. Look to me like they are trying hard to be an example of best practise. And the "problem" spammers will expect to pay a lot less than one US cent per recipient. Take a look at their client list: Intel, Nike, WWF, Ebay - all spammers by your definition.
There is such a thing as bulk email that is not spam, I get "The Register" daily email - and I don't consider it spam, do you? (BTW I get plain text, it would be even better as HTML - is that an option?).
Yesssss why of Course Microsoft listens - to their own bullshit
I remember when I first got into the net and all the naked women on it.... some sites promoted their own cause in popularity by immediately sending 2000 + pop-up adds onto ones screen......
Of course the only browser I had then was Internet Exploder........ so I searched around and tried different browsers - an being poor and on dial up, speed was also a consideration.
First major improvement - Opera - small, light, fast and it had pop-up BLOCKING.......
Yay! said me, and Mr Fisty - and my excelling skills at one handed typing.
BUT did you know it despite my complaints about the LACK of pop up blockers, and no doubt the complaints of 10's of thousands or millions of other people on the subject to Microsoft - it took MS around 7 years to finally getting around to stopping one of the most vicsiferal advertising techniques ever invented!
Toss in when windows 95 came out - they had deliberately restricted the search funtion to ONLY search for files, from programs made by Microsoft......
All the great innovations ever pulled by Microsoft have basically been stolen or copied from everyone else AFTER the other people had brought it onto the market AGES ago.
This company and it's software STINKS......
As fas as MS implementing "universally agreeable" standards for HTML coding in Emails....
Yeah, they will do it about 6 years AFTER I can blow smoke rings out my arse.
Another GREAT reason to dump the company of idiots and move to Linux....
(Thanks to Microsofts greedy corporate stupidity - I am now very, very HAPPY with Ubuntu)
The genie is out of the box and it's not going to go back in
Look I want to receive html mail, you don't.
Why do you want to deny me that ability?
If you don't want html click on "read all messages in plain text" or use a text-only mail reader.
If you don't want spam use some decent filters.
Set some filters to bin mail with HTML in it if you like.
If you've got buddies who insist on inserting html educate them or put them on your kill list.
You may believe "email should only be plain text" but, irreversible fact, most popular email clients offer the option of including html and it's not going to go away. You are pissing in the wind.
They seem to be going backwards so maybe MS aim is to progressively strip out function 'till all that's left is text - I suspect there'd be no users of outlook left either.
As it's here to stay it would be nice if there was a good level of interoperability. Maybe only consensus driven de-facto standards but in any case not proprietary ones.
The reason Microsoft are not supporting two editors, it's cheaper
The real reason that Microsoft are not supporting two editors and just Word, is that it is cheaper for them to support and develop.
I think there is a always going to be a difference of opinion in what we should and should not receive by email, but look at how well tools like the iPhone are doing as they add extra elements of interactivity. Let's see how Google Wave changes the landscape still further.
The reason for allowing good creative (this is always subjective) in an email is to help the reader quickly digest what the email is about and then decide if they want to continue.
When companies are sending HTML or plain text emails it should be down to how the recipients interacts which dictates the future format of emails they receive. I can imagine that the profile of those that are against HTML is very similar, as are those that want it.

text: Candy Crowley: CNN's Hillary Doc 'Makes It Very Difficult for Me' Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 9 Aug 2013 post a comment CNN's Candy Crowley doesn't sound too pleased that her bosses have commissioned a documentary film on possible Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Crowley, who famously gave President Barack Obama a hand during a critical moment in the 2012 presidential debates, told Politico that the project will "make life more difficult, I think there's no doubt about it." You can say all you want, this is a commissioned documentary from people who are not in the employ of CNN. It's not me. It's not Wolf Blitzer. It's not John King. It's an outside documentary group. But we're with CNN and so this is not a story where the nuances are well-received, particularly by Republicans. Perhaps the "nuance" in question is hiring liberal filmmaker Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight) to commandeer the documentary. Here's what Ferguson said in his prepared statement about getting hired to direct the film. Mind you, at this point in the news cycle it would behoove him to take a balanced approach to the material lest he come off as a partisan and reflect poorly on CNN's alleged neutral stance. I am very excited to be making a film about Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose fascinating life and work embody so many of America's, and the world's, hopes and challenges. MSNBC couldn't have scripted a more effusive sentence, all the reason why Crowley knows the project may do even more damage to CNN's (well earned) reputation for liberal bias.

As the first African-American basketball player in the Southeastern Conference, Perry Wallace earned plenty of headlines. But few of the articles under those headlines told Wallace's real story, or described the emotions he felt as he made history almost half a century ago.
The author of a new book on Perry Wallace, who broke the color barrier in SEC basketball in the 1960s, explains why he decided to tell Wallace's little-known story.
What we usually remember about George III is that he was mad, but there was far more to this complex royal figure. As we learn in debut author Janice Hadlow's fascinating account, A Royal Experiment: The Private Life of King George III, he had much to keep him busy during his long reign, including a very large family. This biography was originally published in the U.K. as The Strangest Family. It's an apt title. Hadlow takes as her canvas not simply the private life of one monarch, but the entire House of Hanover, a dysfunctional dynasty if there ever was one.
When Meghan Daum published her first collection in 2001—the brilliant My Misspent Youth—her fresh, honest musings as a Manhattan 20-something immediately made her the envy of a generation of aspiring writers.
For women of a certain age, Brooke Shields was our more perfect sister. In 1980, I didn't understand what "nothing comes between me and my Calvins" meant any more than Brooke herself did. But I knew I needed a pair of those jeans.
On two consecutive days—Monday, June 10, and Tuesday, June 11, 1963—President John F. Kennedy gave two speeches that led to what many regard as the most significant achievements of his presidency, one in diplomacy and the other in civil rights. Both speeches were unprecedented and politically risky.
This fall, music keeps playing around in our heads thanks to a crop of books by and about some of rock's most elusive artists, as well as its most treasured songs.
A few years ago, I taught Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild in a college freshman writing class. I thought the story of Chris McCandless, who turned his back on civilization to hike into the Alaskan wilderness, would resonate with undergraduates. Chris' tragic journey may have ended with his death, but his quest for purity and adventure was inspirational. Or so I thought.
"Running a totalitarian regime is simple: tell the people what they're going to do, shoot the first one to object, and repeat until everyone is on the same page." Such was life in Ukraine for young Lev Golinkin and his family, and it might have been tolerable had he not also suffered daily beatings in school for being a Jew. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the family fled to Austria where they lived in a refugee hotel before immigrating to the U.S. A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka is the story of that journey and of Golinkin's struggle to reclaim his identity.
One of the first artists featured in Sarah Thornton's fascinating 33 Artists in 3 Acts is American Jeff Koons, who tells her that he never wants people to feel small when they view his art. Clearly Thornton ascribes to a similar principle. In this witty, smart follow-up to her 2008 bestseller, Seven Days in the Art World, Thornton generously cracks the sometimes perplexing code of modern art.

A Lake Charles man is charged with attempted second-degree murder in connection with a shooting at a Thursday night candlelight vigil.
Police say 22-year-old Andre Jordan Broussard opened fire in McMillan Park during a vigil for three victims of a 2013 triple homicide in that same park. According to investigators, the shooting took place following an argument.
One person was shot and transported by a bystander to a local hospital. Police say that victim was still in emergency surgery as of 2:30 a.m.
A second victim was grazed by a bullet.
Broussard surrendered to police this morning and remains in jail on $350,000 bond.

Fixing Windows Vista on a Sony Vaio
Summary: Last month I had a chance to use a pair of Sony Vaio notebooks that together gave Windows Vista a terrible name. In this screenshot gallery, I'll give you a close-up look at what I had to do to turn Sony's messy, half-baked Windows installation into one that is worthy of their excellent hardware and that takes full advantage of the new features in Vista.
6 of 14Image
After I completed the clean install and grabbed everything from Windows Update, Vista's Problem Reports and Solutions utility appeared. Despite the inconsistent descriptions, each of these solutions contained a link that led to an updated driver.
For the full story, see Fixing Windows Vista, one machine at a time.
Clicking any of the links in the Problem Reports and Solutions utility led to descriptions like the two shown here, which in turn led to downloadable driver and update packages. In each case, the hardware maker gets to decide where the link goes, which can lead to inconsistent experiences and some confusion.
For the full story, see Fixing Windows Vista, one machine at a time.
To make it easier to organize drivers and updates, Sony has created its Download Taxi utility. After installing the small program, you click check boxes on Sony's support site to mark items for download as a batch. In this case, I've selected 21 updates.

Lauded by Elle magazine as one of the top 100 salons in the United States, Evolve attracts acclaim with innovative beauty services performed in a tranquil atmosphere of crimson accent walls, cushy black chairs, and rich wooden fixtures. Evolve provides hair services for women, men, children, and teens, such as a men's cleanup, hair extensions, and perms. Along with hair- and nailcare, the staff beautifies skin with an array of waxing services and makes over entire faces for practicing tear-filled Oscar acceptance speeches at staff meetings.
State-licensed manicurist and nationally certified massage therapist Brenda eases the chronic pain of fatigued muscles and occasional embarrassment of unkempt nails at Cosmic Touch. She draws from 15 years of experience and an education from a COMTA-certified school and the Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness to deliver Swedish and therapeutic massage, targeted foot reflexology, and manicure and pedicure services. Shellac manicures are available to keep polished surfaces chip-free for up to 2 weeks or one tool-free attempt at carving your initials into a tree.
As the husband-and-wife team behind Breathe Massage & Bodywork, Randy and Nina draw on two decades of combined massage experience to heal their clients with traditional and energy-focused techniques. Since they have worked in spas as well as chiropractic offices, their treatments tend to be both physically beneficial and as relaxing as a warm bath in chicken noodle soup. Among their specialty modalities, trigger-point therapy applies alternating pressures to relieve tension, and deep-tissue massage draws out toxins with firm strokes and friction. To experience a more holistic approach, clients can try cranial-sacral therapy or a reiki session; both alternative techniques work to calm the nerves and put the mind at peace.
At Lush Wax Boutique, it's all about making the client comfortable. The salon's waxers put clients at ease with a professional and amiable bedside manner. All staff members were hand-selected by the owners and passed a rigorous training program where they learned the best waxing techniques and how to tell the difference between body hair and a skein of yarn. Furthering client comfort, the salon also provides cleansing wipes, perfumes, and antibacterial foot sprays in each treatment room, so clients can freshen up before or after a waxing service.
At Wax In The City, the cream and hard waxes are blended specifically to minimize discomfort. Stringent about this technique, each in-house aesthetician is trained on how to properly blend and apply the waxes, stamping out any inferior methods the aestheticians may have picked up at other waxing businesses. In addition to keeping clients comfortable, the staff also keeps them safe. They strictly forbid double dipping and wear gloves during each waxing service.

It's like Lorde sings in her hit song 'Royals': "We'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz." The thing is, we don't mind not being first in line to the throne, but we're pretty gutted about not being first in line for Isabel Marant's H&M collaboration.
The collection hits stores on November 14th - that's on Thursday people!!! - and while we're chomping at the bit to snap up the Parisian designer's purse friendly pieces, Princess Victoria of Sweden has already got her blue-blooded mitts on one of the most coveted items on every Fash Pack member's wish list.
[Isabel Marant x H&M]
Said trophy jacket with beaded embroidery (£199) has been haunting our dreams since the collection was first unveiled back in September. We got to have a close up glimpse at it in all it's glory at a preview of the line last month, but we're still five sleeps and a fashion frenzy away from claiming it for our wardrobes.
HRH Princess Victoria didn't have to wait quite so long however, nor does she have to queue with the rest of us Marant fans in the cold next week. The Swedish royal was spotted wearing her Isabel Marant x H&M finery on a visit to the University of Cambridge with her husband Prince Daniel - who's quite a dapper chap.
Of course she's not the first to showcase the jacket. Proving that celebrities are the modern day equivalent of royals, actress Freida Pinto had the pleasure of parading around in the statement piece at the Isabel Marant x H&M launch party in Paris. Pinto teamed the jacket with a silk printed skirt from the collection, which is yet another Isabel Marant x H&M item that has got us going gaga.
As excitement mounts, see who else has worn Marant for H&M in the gallery below...

Anyone have results to post?
Nah man. I won't bottle until probably at least May.
When he says he adds the bacteria what does he mean? I thought brett was the bacteria. But he says he adds brett than a couple months later adds the bacteria?
brett's a yeast. the bacteria for supplication is primarily pediococcus and lacto-d.
I brewed this beer on Saturday 6/18/2011. My Original Gravity came out to 1.064 and I yielded just over 5 gallons. I forgot to make a starter so I pitched two vials of WLP530 Abbey Ale. Additionally, I pitched the Belgian Sour Mix and the dregs from 2 bottles of the latest batch of Supplication.
It's got a huge krausen now and it is fermenting happily. I plan on letting it sit for 6 months until I have emptied out my 6.5 gallon carboy(currently has a 9 month old pLambic) so I can transfer it and add the sour cherries for more extended aging.
i have that belgian sour mix in my fridge... no idea what to do with it... thinking flanders, but i might do a supplication-esque type brew...
I was just listening to the NHC keynote speech that Vinnie gave this year, it was mostly a history of his brewing, but he mentioned something I hadn't heard before... that at Russian River they use only dried fruit. Anyone else heard that before?
Edit: At least one blog I found confirmed it: http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/2..._river_los.php at first I was thinking he meant frozen since he was talking about how they buy them in large blocks and use a cement mixer to break them up before adding to the beer.
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!

Here is the s'mores modern rival. A hands-on tasty graham cracker-based treat that is perfect for a digital age. This hybrid is a clash of s'mores and the classic baked graham cracker toffee. These easy breezy snacks are loaded with kid-friendly toppings and only take a few minutes to assemble into creative iPhone-sized pieces. The variations are pretty much endless and only limited by imagination.
Norm's Notes: Let Me Take a Selfie
When I visit my sister, I cook. I cook a lot! Feeding this crew is no easy task. She has five handsome young sons and one awesome husband who I'm lucky to call my brother-in law. I love the challenge of feeding this many people balanced meals and it is my pleasure to give them a break from the stove and add some variation to their usual diet.
The boys all love to watch me simmer away in the kitchen and I'm constantly in search of things that the party of five can all help make. So during my most recent weekend visit, almost on cue, serendipity stepped in and brought us the Insta-Graham. The creation was a true family affair. My sister provided the initial concept, the boys gave the flavor combos and names, and my brother in-law captured all of the fun on camera. The three flavors are just the beginning of what you can do. Try out a variety of topping combinations to make your Insta-Graham into a one of a kind "selfie". Don't forget to add #Insta-Graham.

Killing a hostage is, the few times I've seen it written into an encounter design, usually a free or triggered action, depending on what the writer wants to accomplish, or what the players do in response to a hostage taking.
It's supposed to be good drama and create, even for a little while, some kind of dramatic tension. Or a plot hook to go questing ("...or she dies!") for a bad guy. I can't recall, however, any time on either side of the screen, where players really paid that mind. Big damn heroes have to be big damn heroes and won't stand for hostage taking.
Any villain worth their salt, or with an int score over 9, knows there's nothing to lose once the players decide to engage him after a hostage is taken. There's no reason NOT to pull the trigger/collapse the bubble/fire the laser/slit their throat. And, since the design of such encounters is what it is (at least in anecdotal experience), the PCs have zero chance to thwart the murder of what is probably their plot goal.
I can't think of a good way to take a hostage, as a DM. It inevitably ends up in innocent blood. At which point, I could have saved the time and trouble on encounter design and just done it in a "cut scene" anyway...

"Fifty thousand people used to live in this city. Now it's a ghost town... I've never seen anything like it."A town or village that no longer has enough inhabitants to be considered a town (or in extreme cases may be abandoned entirely). Back in the days of The Wild West, settlements would spring up practically overnight. Word of a gold or silver strike, or of a good water supply in arid land, and folks would flock in and put up a Boom Town. Many of these survived and grew, even after the initial rush was over (all major cities in the West Coast got their start like this). But many did not. After the gold was mined out, or the spring went dry, or the railroad went through a town forty miles away instead, there just wasn't much point to living there. So the town died slowly or quickly, and became a Ghost Town. In a more general sense, in an agricultural society, most people lived on a farm or a ranch, and shipped their stuff to the nearest trading town. When people started living in more urbanized areas, since they were not farming, either they needed to go to a job or have customers because they ran some kind of business out of their house. If that dried up, whether or not they owned their house, unless they could grow enough food to feed themselves and supply other basic needs, their only option was to pack up and move on. If enough people did that, then you got a ghost town. Given their nature, ghost towns tend to be far off the beaten path, and not appear on current maps. Thus people who wind up in ghost towns are usually very lost indeed, or if it was deliberate, have had a rough time getting there. (The big exception is tourist attraction ghost towns, which have relatively easy access, and enough people in nearby areas to keep the place up.) Ghost towns don't necessarily have actual ghosts in them, but are generally spooky even without them. Banging shutters, creaking floors, a player piano that suddenly activates for no good reason. Sometimes the evacuation will have been so sudden that it appears that people left in the middle of dinner. Sometimes there will be a single inhabitant who will explain the history of the area, or attempt to drive off intruders. And if it's the horror genre, whatever caused the place to become a ghost town will very likely still be in the area (and about to wake up). This Trope is sometimes found with the Abandoned Mine Trope (one being the reason for the other). Compare Ghost City, where this has happened to a major metropolitan area, and Ghost Planet when an entire world ends up this way. Contrast Boom Town, the beginning of the cycle. See also Dying Town, when a community is getting close to becoming a Ghost Town. Not to be confused with the 2008 film Ghost Town, whose town is actually quite populous; or with Thriving Ghost Town, which is the Law of Conservation of Detail as applied to the town's population; or with The Specials song "Ghost Town".

Penned with Zen: Do the Shifrin shuffle
For a long time, I have wanted to discuss a certain Russian Jew in this column. A long time is only a couple of months, but in newsprint that's ancient history. Still, this person's story should be so relatable to young adults that she merits another look.
Whether it was her moxie to walk out of her job, or her sassy dance moves, Marina Shifrin demonstrates an important lesson for us young adults before leaving the comforts of supervised life- I mean, graduate from college.
Seriously, if you do not know who Marina Shifrin is, just know she quit her job through a music dance video that has currently garnered 17 million views on YouTube. Know also that she had a journalism degree and was shifting between writing jobs in New York City. The latest job Shifrin held was at an international branch of a Taiwanese-based video news company, Next Media. When the NYC branch shut down, Next Media offered Shifrin a promotion- provided she would be willing to relocate to Taiwan.
She did not like it. It was not the cultural shift, or the monthly mandatory 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. work shifts that got to her. Rather, Shifrin describes that the most frustrating aspect of her job was how her boss only cared about generating a larger audience rather than improving the quality of writing. After 11 months of being dissatisfied, Shifrin decided to quit: elaborately, too, with a video of her own. The irony of her resignation dance being the most popular video Next Media has probably produced is not lost upon Shifrin.
The general reaction I have heard from people is, "Can you believe the stones on this one? The nerve of her, just walking out of her job instead of toughing it out." Truth is, no, I cannot believe it. I'm absolutely mortified about talking to a job interviewer and attempting to fool both of us into believing I'm capable of real world responsibility. Imagining walking out and throwing away that hard-earned job is incomprehensible to me now. It sickens me to read what I just wrote, to actualize and express a real, deep fear of mine.
Remember middle school and how crippling it was to be self-conscious then? Maybe you went to school dances and would tell yourself that tonight was the night you were going to ask your crush to dance to "Stairway to Heaven" with you, or do those impressive break dance moves you saw on television, in front of everyone. Did you always follow through, or did you bail at the last second, instead of facing the possibility of looking like a fool in public?
There is a sentiment going around that discusses how entitled we are as a generation. How the world is our oyster, and somehow every single one of us will be widely successful and wealthy. Apparently we are used to the easy life, and do not know how to work hard. Perhaps Shifrin's video is a perfect example of how we would rather complain than deal with our lot in life. Maybe she should have toughened up and buried her worries of being stuck on an unsatisfying career path, or at least done a better job of considering the implications of relocating to halfway around the world for a job she was not passionate about. Anything to avoid coming back home, bowed and defeated.
The naysayers do not seem to know - or have forgotten - what it's like to be staring down the beginning of your professional life. Your career is not supposed to be the most amazing, profitable or humanitarian thing available to you. Believe me, nobody is above making a career working in a cubicle or flipping hamburgers. More, now than ever, people about to enter the workforce are encouraged to just 'take whatever you can for money.' Take the nice, safe option available to you in life. Just accept your lot and make the best of it. After all, it's just a way to make a living.
We tend to forget that this 'lot' they are talking about is your life, and that's what you should be concerned about. This time is yours- there's nothing entitled about choosing to do what's best for you. Shifrin reminds us that we do not have to just 'deal with it.' You are allowed to be self-aware, to wake up one day and realize you are unhappy and need to change something. Maybe the life decisions we make are not because we are above suffering through the drudgery, but because we are daring to believe in ourselves. I think Shifrin is fantastic because her story reminds us that, ultimately, we can choose what we want to do with our lives. It may or may not be the easy choice, but it should be the one you can live with.

Congressmen Call for Report on New Class of Drugs
Washington DC (Jan. 21)—Congressmen John Dingell (D-MI) and Bart Stupak (D-MI) have requested that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) perform an updated assessment in response to the US Food and Drug Administration's potential development of a new class of behind-the-counter (BTC) drugs, according to the Jan. 21 edition of Drug Industry Daily.
In a letter to GAO Comptroller General David Walker, the congressmen requested that more information be gathered in order to assess the benefits, risks, and general necessity of any new class of BTC drugs. In an August 1995 report, GOA evaluated the experience of other countries with BTC drugs, and found insufficient evidence to support the establishment of a new class of BTC drugs in the United States. The US representatives' letter to Walker suggested that the gathering of new data was necessary; however, the new report would not have to include an investigation of other countries with similar BTC drug programs.
According to Drug Industry Daily, the potential new class of drugs being evaluated by FDA would be those drugs deemed to not require a doctor's prescription but would need the approval of a pharmacist to purchase. Although no FDA proposal has been presented regarding the creation of a new class of BTC drugs, opponents suggest the new class may raise drug costs. Supporters of BTC drugs suggest that today's patients are more informed about their health and that an individual's access to drugs would improve without the need of a doctor's prescription.
The potential new class of BTC drugs could include oral contraceptives, over-the-counter children's cough and cold medicines, Tamiflu, and epinephrine injections.
Rep. Dingell is the Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and Rep. Stupak is the Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
