SkinMedica Customer ReviewsIrritated my skin, caused many small red bumps - 12/25/2014 6:06:31 PM I routinely use glycolic acid products made by other manufacturers with no problems. But, my gosh my skin became red and bumpy within 4 hours of using this product for the first time! It is expensive and I wish I could send it back, but I did not keep the original packaging. So, I guess it is an expensive learning lesson for me. I do have sensitive fair skin. I just thought that because I tolerated other glycolic acid products, I could tolerate this one. But, I can't.TNS Serum - 12/23/2014 8:15:07 AM I've been using this product for over ninety days and see a big improvement in my skin texture and tone.One of two best products EVER (and I try a lot) - 12/21/2014 2:15:47 PM There are two beauty products that I have ever tried that have transformed my appearance (I have had professional treatments that have, but that's another story). The first is a tourmaline-infused straightening iron- goodbye frizzies, hello sleek, beautiful hair! The second is this product. (Actually, the Clarisonic Mia also rocks-need the one with the sensitive brushhead, but it cleans pores like nobody's business). So, I have a milestone birthday coming up and I mega-splurged and bought this product. I had been using the Mia for about 2 weeks, and it lessened sebaceous hyperplasia, but certainly didn't make it go away. All derms and estheticians will tell you that ONLY a dermatologist can get rid of sebaceous hyperplasia, so this is really, really amazing! The first time, yes the FIRST time, that I used the TNS the sebaceous hyperplasia dissapeared. I was SHOCKED and do NOT think others should use this with the same expectations. (But remember, I had already diminished the hyperplasia with the Mia). Been using for about a week since that time. Already, my skin is noticeably more even, I had a few milia and it is making them go away and it is even helping with wrinkling just under my chin that resulted from Ultherapy (super expensive, super painful medical procedure that did nothing but cause this neck problem). The one thing I do not like about this product is, possibly because it has alcohol in it (fairly high up in ingredient list- why, SkinMedica, why?) I can't use the 1% retinol product that I was using. I do have sensitive skin (and the Mia makes it more sensitive), but I think this would be an issue for most people. I decided that for now I'd rather use this, but I may at some time go to a lower strength retinol and alternate use of it and the TNS. Also, I have oily skin, so it's no problem for me that it's slightly drying (very slightly), but someone with dry skin would definitely have to use a good moisturizer over it. I am only using it once a day because I tried it in the day and it IS kind of sticky. Funny, but don't notice that at night. Overall, I am honestly blown away by what a product that you can purchase on the internet can deliver. One last thing, you can actually get it for like $100 less, but I don't trust that you are getting the real deal (there are reviews to that effect to). For this kind of money, you need to know that you are getting what you pay for.Love Skin Medica products - 12/16/2014 1:35:05 AM The best skin care line. And I've tried almost all- 11/15/2014 8:50:20 PM I used the product for 5 years and I love the product but packaging is absolutely horrible. 90% of the time pump is the major problem. It does not work. I need to remove the product with small spoon or open the bottle and shake the product out. Finally, I gave up and now I am buying similar product from Dr Dennis Gross Hydra-Pure Vit C.Did it make a difference....ehhh a bit! - 11/12/2014 7:46:00 PM I use TNS eye cream and love it so thought I would go all out and use the serum--it did make my skin appear smoother the next morning after I used it at night. After a few weeks it has not made much of a difference so I don't think I would splurge and buy it again. I find that I get much better results with coffeeberry products as well as kinerase. However it did smooth out my skin a bit so if you are on the fence about trying it--go ahead--it might work a bit better for different pplShabby dispensing method - 10/7/2014 10:35:15 AM I loved this product (twice!) until the dispenser failed. The first dispenser failed with about 1/3 of the product unused. The second time, there was more than 1/2 of the product remaining. I had to use a Q-tip to 'dig out' the remainder. Not ideal. Why not use a larger version of the tube used in the sample size? I'm not buying again until they deal with this, despite the fact that the product, itself, is excellent.Great product! Does what it promises to, but... - 10/3/2014 7:21:01 AM I have fine lines, bags & sometimes dark circles. I received this as a sample so tried it a few times & was very impressed w/the results, esp after reading some of the other reviews. I don't know their ages, but I'm in my early 40s & this product noticeably brightened & reduced the appearance of my bags& lines. I currently use caudalie eye cru, which I love. I'm tempted to buy this because it's effective, but it contains parables, etc., so will probably stick w/caudalie which has more natural ingredients.I'm afraid it works - 10/2/2014 10:06:15 AM My dermatologist recommended this product. I paid the outrageous amount, just following order. I buy most of my products from Target. I used the product and when it was finished I didn't expect to buy something so expensive again. A couple weeks later I noticed that my skin wasn't looking very good - and realized it could be the SkinMedica. I bought it again, and within a week my skin looked good again. I am afraid I am sold on this terribly expensive product. For me it reversed the damage of menapause - I couldn't stand looking older. This seems to bring me back to when I had sufficient estrogen.skin medica. - 9/23/2014 10:24:47 AM I have use this product for many years, I have great results. It work for me and my skin love it.
Learn More About SkinMedica
The difference in SkinMedica products comes from the brand's approach to addressing dermatological concerns. Many brands work solely on the visible damage and signs of stress that plague the complexion, leaving the inner workings of skin biology largely ignored. The result is minimal improvements in only the outward appearance of the skin, and often, any changes are soon overshadowed by ever-advancing damage.
With the SkinMedica approach, the root causes of skin imperfections are taken into consideration when creating product formulas. The brand has developed revolutionary ingredients that act on the skin cells themselves to repair and rejuvenate the structures that have been damaged due to environmental free radicals and pollution. By addressing the causes of signs of aging, SkinMedica promotes healing and regeneration, which can decrease the chances of rapid aging in the future while simultaneously diminishing the appearance of existing wrinkles and lines.
The award-winning collection from SkinMedica includes a complete range of solutions for the skin. You can easily put together a full daily regimen for both day and night with the wide selection of products offered by this cosmeceutical skin care brand. From cleansers to toners to moisturizers to sun protection, the lineup includes all of the essentials that are needed to promote skin health on a daily basis, and all of the formulas are as effective at meeting the needs of the tissue as they are at addressing imperfections. Shop the SkinMedica collection now to find the ideal combination of products for your complexion.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2011 LA Auto Show Debuts
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Nov 17th, 2011 at 8:29PM
We're packing up our cameras and laptops and heading out of the Los Angeles Convention Center, but before we seal the lid on the 2011 LA Auto Show, it's time to reflect on our staff's favorite debuts of the past two days. Unlike previous shows, there was nothing here in LA that truly stood out as the clear Best In Show winner, but because of that, there were plenty of good arguments amongst the staff about the five best cars on display in Los Angeles. We won't give away the winner just yet (you'll have to click past the break to see the results), but we'll say that the first and second... Read More

Shakespeare's soaps were not original. He cribbed everything he wrote, I'd bet even those tedious "Shakespeare said it first" lists.

UGH..that freaking Great Expectations. I spent more energy dodging class than it would have taken to read the book. I found it dreadful....
FPNYAnnoying JUBBERS since 2003
Psycho is better.
Ragged Dick and Struggling Upward [yes, that really is the name of the book].
It was written by a pedophile [Horatio Alger Jr.] and is a story about young boys finding their way in society. Mind you I went to Catholic School during the height of the child sex abuse scandal.
I couldn't figure out what it was about when I read it, and I still don't know. The only reason I got a decent grade on my report was that I compared a long scene where they're riding through dim woods, sort of lost, with the way reading the book made me feel -- I guess the teacher thought that was creative.
"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

Frankenstein. It's the most painfully boring thing I've ever endured. I dreaded every overwritten word of that book and I love to read. I loved most of the books we had to read. Rebecca is still a favorite of mine. I just couldn't force myself to enjoy Frankenstein though.
Are you all talking about Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' ? I remember it as a rather short book...Am I mistaken ?

I liked all of the novels and plays we were assigned, but I liked "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" best of all. Loved it. Also loved "Dubliners".
I read "Catcher" on my own because I was told I should by an adult who should have known better, though come to think of it, she didn't say she liked it, only that she had been told that it was "very meaningful" to young people. I thought it was the worst book I had ever read. Hated it. Really hated it.
catcher in the rye is pretty bad
but you havent read NOTHING as long, dragged out, and anti-climactic than the great gatsby
it took so long for a story to develop, then in after the whole story of gatsby and the one white bitch, she leaves and acts like nothing happened. talk about a HOE
My favorite author.....John Steinbeck. In Grade 9, we read "Of Mice and Men." I was prepared to hate it, but loved it! In Grade 10, we were given a reading list with lots of the books mentioned here that people hated, including "Tess" "Lord of the Flies" and "Catcher in the Rye." Instead, I chose to read another Steinbeck book on the list, "Cannery Row." Again, I loved it! Since then, I have read my way through his other works. He is still my favorite American author.
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
Oh I could go on for days. I HATE Catcher in the Rye..I can hear my teacher's voice now talking about how "misunderstood" he was. I'll tell you what he was, a homophobic, immature, little pussy, and I hate using that word. Perhaps the worst for me was the Scarlet Letter! Fuck Hester Prynne, Fuck Pearl, Fuck Dimmesdale, Fuck Chillgsworth, and all the rest of Puritan Boston..that's how I feel about the Scarlett Letter, and it was worse because I took AP English.. yikes! I sort of enjoyed the Great Gatsby, but it's one of those books that you like after you finished. When you're reading it, its sort of like taking a bite of a soggy sandwich.. and my teacher made some terrible interpretations. The only thing that seemed to be even worse than Scarlett Letter, and Catcher in the Rye, was, perhaps 1984. Kill me. As for Great Expectations. I've never bullshitted my way through something as hard, and with as much dedication as I did that book..

Someone asked me once how I could know that I'm gay if I've never slept with a woman. I've never shoved shards of glass into my eye, either, but I don't have to give it a shot to know that it's not for me.
Written in today's style, yes it is short. The actual book is overwritten. Mary Shelley was bed bound for many years and isolated. You coulld clearly tell from her writing style. Written more for herself than other people.Originally Posted by oakptoday33216
People who hated reading certain books as part of an English literature class should maybe consider the reason for their hostility, namely that the purpose of the reading is to pass a test of some sort. I only began to enjoy reading literary works when I graduated from university; then I read for pleasure and did not feel pressured to take notes or think of possible exam questions. This puts an entirely different perspective on things. Most fiction was and is written with the intent to entertain an audience.
I have no desire to read more of the same either for its literary or recreational value. I simply was required to for school.
Beowulf.......why I'll never know....... ......or care
I hated Fahrenheit 451 just as much as I hated 1984, but teachers beat the hell out of Dystopian novels to the point where it was no longer interesting.
We mostly read stuff as excerpts, IIRC, in our English classes, not that I recall much other than liking Isaac Asimov immensely. I don't recall any Shakespeare, or any of the classics.
It wasn't until I finished A-Level and went commuting to uni (45 min by train) that I had access to a good bookshops to browse in. A train companion a year younger than I was said he was taking Eng Lit, reading Aeschylus, Aristophanes other greek authors. Brekekekex, koax, koax! from the Frogs, lol. My sis did arts subjects too, so I read Bronte, Homer and Austin. Although the language in these tended to be a little archaic, I don't recall thinking it was crap. I enjoyed Wuthering Heights, not least because of the way Joseph spoke in it.
Everything I was forced to read was a worthless piece of shit. If you have to force people to read it then it's probably not very good, is it?
I specifically remember an english class I had in 12th grade, I flat out said I'm not reading this shit, and I didn't. Got a 100% on the project and an A in the class. The english teacher was pretty useless as well. I really don't understand why we force this shit on kids that really, truely don't care? Sure, they need to learn how to speak proper english, but how does forcing shakespeare on them do that?
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton -- major snoozefest
Shakespeare is worthless shit, so why would I use another word to describe it? I am comparing it to excrement.
BTW - you don't even know how to spell feces.

Fair enough, but I suspect there won't be people in the year 2512 discussing your contribution to mankind, nor mine.
What's your bet ?

A toss up between Frankenstein and Huckleberry Finn (I know it's supposed to be an American classic but it bored me to tears). I loved Macbeth though.
What?! I loved Huckleberry Finn! And sorry, Fuji, Shakespeare rocks.
But, All the King's Men, The Old Man and the Sea, Travels with Charley, and The Great Gasbag...er...Gatsby.....those were absolute torture. I would have happily tossed each of them into the nearest fire. And I'm a bibliophile!
I'm not convinced that all these books were assigned in high school.
All the ones in my post were. I recall them vividly. Rather like severe food poisoning.
Not to be shady but I don't think anyone posted what they posted with the intention of convincing the OP or anyone on here for that matter that what they read was true. Conversely, I don't see the reason in needing or feeling compelled to convince anyone that what they posted is true or not.

Yeah there is a fair amount of garbage in there.
The sad part is, parents complained the curriculum was too intense and it has been toned down greatly. If you child is struggling in honors classes, they should be in the regular level then.
If you want to read garbage like shakespeare go right ahead, I'm not going to stop you. Forcing people who dont want to, as they do in high school, is ridiculous. As others have already pointed out, shakespeare was meant to be watched, not read.
Nowadays, most people can write a decent story if they want to. But back then, most people lived in shit, wrote like shit, and talked like shit. They had a choice between smelly shit and less smelly shit (aka Shakespeare).Originally Posted by oakpope
Consider this for a moment. Suppose before you are allowed to use a phone (home phone, cell phone, etc.) you must for 4 years use the original phone that Alexander Graham Bell invented. Don't stop there. Before you are allowed to use a calculator or computer, you must for 4 years use the abacus.
And that's exactly what forcing high school students read shit like Shakespeare or Mary Shelley is!
We as society has evolved considerably since those times. In modern times, most of us talk in a linear fashion and we write very clear and concise sentences so that most other people can understand right away what it is we are trying to commune.
If someone stabs me, I sure as hell am not going to say "Oh mother, they hath slain me!" Instead, I would probably say something like "AHHHHHHHRGGEGGGGGGG SOME MOTHER FUCKER STABBED ME, HIS NAME IS ____________"
Have you guys honestly read books like Crime and Punishment or Demons by that mother fucker Dostoevsky? I mean seriously from beginning to end? I have. Trust me, that bastard should have been shot for having written such shitty shit.
The humanities is the only field in academics that allow shit like that to prosper. Many scientists have pointed this out. Sokal and Dawkins are at the forefront of making people aware how these bastards get away with writing shitty shit and get away with it in the humanities departments.
Yes, I'm referencing Fashionable Nonsense and Intellectual Impostures by Sokal.
Hey... I loved Crime and Punishment. The prose may have been tough to get through, but the meanings and ideas behind the difficult phrasings were wonderful.
The various authors of times past were ahead of their time, and I applaud them for it. But again they used the only tool they had at the time, which was talking more to themselves than to communicate their ideas with other people.
Did you ever sit down and try to read the entire Frankenstein book by Mary Shelley? Shelley wrote that book more for herself than anyone else. It shows in the style of writing. She was isolated and bed bound due to illness for years. And during those years, she wrote that book.
Have you ever mumbled to yourself? Now, try to mumble to yourself and force others to understand you. That's exactly how it is with these authors' books.
So, again, I commend them for being ahead of their times. And I applaud their stories. But the instruments they used to commune their stories to others are grossly outdated and shouldn't be forced onto high school students.
If you have a literary mind and you love such writing styles, then god bless you go ahead and study them to your heart's content. But please, don't force it on those of us that like to communicate in a linear fashion so that most other people can understand us.
Just like if you wish to use the original telephone design by Bell or the abacus instead of a calculator, then god bless you go for it. But don't force those things on the rest of us. We like progress. We like living on the shoulders of giants!
The Hobbit. Just not my thing at all.
If you like to use morse code to communicate with your clients, god bless you for it. But don't force the rest of us to do the same.
Animalius I think what you're getting at (and I agree) is that writing of that time period almost to me comes off more like a way to illustrate your level of education and how complicated one could write rather than practical storytelling. At least, when I read novels from that time period I always feel like the story is secondary to writing in an overly roundabout manner. I think modern writers have evolved more and more towards smooth storytelling over intricately overwritten prose and I personally think that's a good thing-- literary snobs of course think the opposite. I think that difference is subjective and I don't think I'm a less cultured person for preferring modern writing to writing from 2 or 3 centuries ago.
I suppose you consider the following as shit ?
As I ponder'd in silence,
Returning upon my poems, considering, lingering long,
A Phantom arose before me with distrustful aspect,
Terrible in beauty, age, and power,
The genius of poets of old lands,
As to me directing like flame its eyes,
With finger pointing to many immortal songs,
And menacing voice, What singest thou? it said,
Know'st thou not there is but one theme for ever-enduring bards?
And that is the theme of War, the fortune of battles,
The making of perfect soldiers.
Be it so, then I answer'd,
I too haughty Shade also sing war, and a longer and greater one than any,
Waged in my book with varying fortune, with flight, advance
and retreat, victory deferr'd and wavering,
(Yet methinks certain, or as good as certain, at the last,) the
field the world,
For life and death, for the Body and for the eternal Soul,
Lo, I too am come, chanting the chant of battles,
I above all promote brave soldiers.

I stopped reading the books they gave at the start of 10th grade.

whiteboard and normal animation tips
"Going viral" is what truly separates whiteboard animation from other types of sales campaigns. Surely you've heard of videos that went viral and received thousands of hits simply because some people liked it. This is testament to how rapidly popular phenomena can catch hold. If you create a video that is unique, interesting, and still about your product, people are going to post it on their social networking sites so their friends can see it, too. There are millions upon millions of people using social networking sites at any given time of the day. As the video's popularity spreads, interest in and visitors to the product's own sales website will soon grow. According to recent statistics whiteboard animation became very popular in the last few years. Being free of charge, and offering giant exposure, is what makes viral marketing perfect. People who love your videos will work on "marketing" it and spreading the word. This is the best way to leverage video marketing for your benefit. Multinational companies are known for utilizing similar techniques and have crafted video material likely to gain widespread exposure. But it's not just the big companies; even the small businesses are realizing this. Make your video enthralling, so that the consumer feels like they must share it, in order to make the world aware.
You will also find that with video marketing it's a lot easier to get top ranking with search engines when you compare it to other kinds of content. This is a rather apparent benefit to derive once you produce your own videos and use them for marketing. The primary cause at the back of this is Google's newest feature, which is known as the "Universal Search".
Google's search results will now include videos as well as text and articles. If you search for "cell phones' your search results will have articles, yes, but it will also have video results that will appear on the first page of results on Google. Apart from this, not many online marketers are taking the advantage of videos to get their site ranked high on the first page of results. This is a great advantage for you; by simply creating your content in the video format, you're breaking away from the majority of the competition. Video marketing is being hailed as the newest breakthrough in online advertising because the results have been astounding. There are many reasons why a business owner should consider including video marketing in their advertising campaigns, the possibilities for continued growth and additional networking should carry this marketing medium far into the foreseeable future.

Title: Falling apart
Date: Sep 08, 2013
The first one I got had a messed up eye. It looked as if someone put tape over the eye and pulled it off taking the color with it. I called and they sent me a replacement, which wasn't much better. The side of the owl was ripping at the seams and therefore couldn't hold much candy or else it would break.

Very cute, but when the kids pulled the strings, nothing happened. Its very disappointing that it didn't spill the candy out, instead, we had to rip it open and shake the candy out.

Date: Jan 03, 2013
We tried a traditional pinata last year and had a hard time controlling the kids with a bat...this pull-string idea is a great concept, and it worked perfectly! The kids enjoyed pulling the strings, AND we got lucky enough to have the very last string be the one that opened the bottom trap! Item looked exactly as pictured; great quality!
Also, product arrived quicker than expected...maybe 2 days?

Ooh la la! You can hop over to France for a few hours or a day, whether on the boat or by train.
This is a list of super-cheap French trip deals so you can say "au revoir!" to expensive Channel crossings. Routes include Dover to Calais or Dunkirk by ferry and London to Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam via coach.
Whether it's a retailer or restaurateur, airline or air-conditioner seller, computer shop or car rental company, there are always two main risks. Either it's a dodgy company, or it's a legit company that has financial problems and goes bust.
The aim of these tips is to help you minimise the risks.
Quite simply, its customers are immediately transformed into creditors. This hits hardest if you've ordered goods or tickets from them, and not had delivery, as then you become one of a line of people trying to get your money back out of the company's assets, and you usually get back much less than you paid in.
Even if you've had delivery, if the company you bought from goes under and there's a problem with the goods, it can mean you've no comeback.
While MoneySavingExpert.com endeavours to check deals are valid, we don't check companies ' finances. Even huge names like MFI and Woolies have folded, so it's very important you use the right strategies to stay protected where possible.
Pay by credit card for something over £100, and Section 75 laws supercharge your consumer rights.
Unlike debit cards, cheques or cash, pay in full or part (even just £1) on a credit card and by law the lender's jointly liable with the retailer.
This means you have exactly the same rights with the card company as you do with the retailer. So if it goes bust, you can simply take your complaints there instead and get money back if there's no delivery.
Yet it's important you ALWAYS REPAY IN FULL each month, so there's no interest cost. See the full Section 75 guide.
Section 75 doesn't apply to purchases under £100, but there's still an option which can help. It isn't a legal protection, just Visa, Mastercard and Amex's rules, but it's a good back-up.
Spend on a Visa, Mastercard or Amex credit card or any debit or charge card. If the goods don't appear, you can try to ask your bank/card provider to reclaim the cash from the seller's bank, so long as you complain within 120 days of realising theres a problem. See the Chargeback guide for full details.
Bogus websites are often set up to cash in on popular products like Ugg boots and Tiffany necklaces, so be wary if it's an unfamiliar site. And don't think that because it appears on a reputable search engine, that makes it a reputable site - always check.
Most folk know to look for a security padlock on the bottom right of a website, but that doesn't mean the site's legit, just that payment's secure.
To find out who registered the site and when, search the Whois database. Reputable firms should also appear on the Companies House site, the UK Government's official companies register. Be very wary of businesses with just a PO Box or email address.
Study the site's worldwide web ranking on Alexa. Anything in the top 100,000 means it's reasonably big and a good, though not foolproof indication of legitimacy. Do a quick Google search for other shoppers' experiences.
Crucially, ensure your security's up-to-date - free software can be downloaded to your computer in about five minutes. Full details in the Free Antivirus Software guide.
Many people are surprised to learn you've MORE rights buying online (or by telephone/catalogue) due to the Distance Selling Regulations.
These give you a legal right to send most goods back within seven days for a full refund (including outward delivery costs), even if there's no fault. You'll usually need to pay for the return delivery. Read Consumer Rights for a full guide.
However, of course, this is balanced by the fact ordering online automatically means there's a time gap between ordering and delivering - when the company has your money. So if it goes bust during that time, the distance selling rights don't help.
Ultimately, there is always a risk that a company can go bust. If the above routes don't apply, then you have to make a decision about whether you're willing to take the risk of parting with your cash.
Don't be scared of this. Every day we all make transactions based on trust, and this is part of that, but do balance up the amount you're spending against the risk. Don't give large amounts of money to a company you're not sure about.
Spend Tesco points in-store and they're worth 1p, yet convert them to Tesco Rewards and they can be worth three or four times that value (see Boost Tesco points for details). Plus find old Tesco points you may not have spent. Read the Find Lost Tesco Points guide.
Before spending, use Martin's Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, Don't buy!

- Watch as the strongest bonds on earth are tested.
It's Super! It's Krazy! And it can be found in everything from carpets to computers, books to boats, shoes to the Space Shuttle. It's even used in surgery. Without it, the material world would quite literally fall apart. In this episode, we'll visit the strange and sticky world of glue. Glue's trajectory spans human history, and we'll cover it all--from Neolithic cave dwellers who used animal glue to decorate ceremonial skulls, to modern adhesives, including Elmer's glue, 3M's masking and Scotch tape, and the super glues.
Remember the Krazy Glue® commercial in which a man held himself suspended from a hard hat that had just been glued to a beam? Well, that understates the power of glue. With the help of a crane, we're going to hoist a 6,000-pound pickup truck off the ground by a steel joint that's been bonded with glue!

WC Lands 'Food and Farm Icon' Joel Salatin for April Food Symposium
Third Generation Alternative Farmer to Speak on 'Holy Cows and Hog Heaven'
March 27, 2014
Joel Salatin
Fresh food advocate and author Joel Salatin will provide the keynote address at Wilmington College's 2014 Food Symposium April 23 under the theme "Beyond Nutrition: Rethinking Our Relationship with Food.
"Salatin, a third generation alternative farmer, will present the address, "Holy Cows and Hog Heaven," at 7:30 p.m. in Hermann Court. He will speak on the "moral, ethical thread" that connects field to plate.
Other Food Symposium activities include a cake bake-off competition and public tasting, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., and a panel discussion highlighting the day's "Beyond Nutrition" theme at 3 p.m., both of which will be in Kelly Center. Also, campus tours will be available.
All events are free and open to the public.
In his numerous books and speaking appearances, Salatin creatively and colorfully addresses a wide range of issues, from "creating the farm your children will want" to "making a white collar salary from a pleasant life in the country." A noted wordsmith, he describes his occupation as "mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilization."
Profiled on the "Lives of the 21st Century" series with Peter Jennings on ABC World News, Salatin's after-broadcast chat room fielded more hits than any other segment to date. It achieved iconic status as the grass farm featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore's Dilemma by food writer Michael Pollan and in the award-winning film documentary, Food, Inc.
Corey Cockerill, associate professor of communications and a member of the Food Symposium planning committee, described Salatin as a "food and farm icon." She said it is especially fitting for a college with agriculture as its fastest growing major to host an appearance by Salatin.
"His practical, applied approaches to farming and food development match that of our program," she said. "I think students will really relate to his quippy anecdotes and lessons learned."
According to his biographical portrait, Salatin's speaking and writing reflect "dirt-under-the-fingernails experience punctuated with mischievous humor. He passionately defends small farms, local food systems, and the right to opt out of the conventional food paradigm."
Four generations of his family currently live and work on the farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
More information and updates on the symposium are available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/FoodSymposiumWC and on Twitter via @food_symposium. For questions, contact Corey Cockerill at 937-382-6661 ext. 302 or Monte Anderson at 937-382-6661 ext. 327.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I cannot shout HELP!! loud enough. Can my thermometer be wrong? I am waiting for a infra red one, but until I have to use what I have.
I am tempering Valrhona. Whilst seeding I try to let the temperature go down to 28C, but I cannot do it as the thermometer says it is still 31C, but the seed does not want to melt any more and the chocolate is very thick and starting to clump on the sides. What am I doing wrong or is it the thermometer? I have to say the weather is not ideal as it is raining, so humidity is a problem. I try and keep the temperature at 20C, but as it is the same room I have to melt the chocolate with a bain marie causing moisture.
Another question, can the humidity give me trouble with my ganache? It is way to soft even though I follow the recipes to the letter as I have been doing all the time with no problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Debra, I think it is my nervousness that is making things worse. I am under pressure to "perform!" and no time to really practice.
I do the paper test and it seems fine, my dipped truffles are sort of OK, but the molds not. I think I wish the paper test right when it is not really. It dries OK, but the snap takes a while. I will try and add the lip test. Up to now I have not had the confidence to do it. Not trusting myself that I will be able to tell if it is right.
I'm off to temper another batch for my molds for Saturday. I'll try the lip test as well and I will let you know how it goes. It is a bit difficult to teach yourself with only the internet as your source.
Horrible to try and get a business going on less than a shoe string. Hardly money for the chocolate. This is actually one of my problems. I cannot afford to buy another bag of chocolate to use as seed and now I am probably skimping on the seed!
Thanks again.
OK, so I just want to make sure. Even if I start with chocolate that is not in temper I can still use this method? That would really help me a lot because I sit here with LOTS of chocolate that is out of temper because of my failed attempts at tempering. The plain chocolate is getting better but the milk chocolate is still giving me problems.
Thanks so much for your willingness to help. I hope one day I will know enough myself to be able to help others as well.
Debra thought I will just come back and thank you. I new about the double boiler technique, but I have never had the guts to try it until you prompted me. Thank you so much. On my first attempt my molds came out just fine. Not perfection yet, but definitely usable which is a relieve as I do not have a lot of time. I tempered some milk chocolate even though I knew it is more difficult but I wanted to get them out of the way. Now I can move on to the fun of the dark chocolate.
Thanks again
OK, so now I still have problems. I am tempering the Valrohna Manjari, Guanaja and Jivara Lactee without any problem. T
he Equatoriale Noire as well as the Lactee I just cannot get in temper no matter what I do. I have been tempering all morning using the tempering guidelines as on the package without any luck. Is there something special about the Equatoriale that makes it more difficult to temper?
I have tried the seed method as well as the cold water method without any success.
Thanks Debra, maybe that is the mistake I am making. I try and temper just enough because of the HUGE amount of untempered chocolate cluttering everywhere, even the bedrooms!
So, I will see what happens if I try 1 kilo at a time. I still have quite a bit of tempering to do for this weekend. Some of the bad results I have heated a little with the hair dryer and sprinkled some grated chocolate on them. At the moment they look fine so I will see what happens during the night.
I am getting desperate here so I really appreciate your help. I feel a little sorry for myself and feel as if there is too much pressure on me to learn tempering while I have to produce for the markets.
Sorry, but one more thing. I sit with chocolate that must have overheated and my battles with the thermometer. It tastes fine and feels smooth in the mouth, but it has very little hard pieces that looks like caramelized milk.
Will it be possible to temper it? I'm even thinking of caramelizing it in the oven as I see a recipe from Valrhona for white chocolate. I was thinking I can them mold it and sell it as some kind of caramelized chocolate, or something. I cannot afford to lose it, so I am trying to think of a way to use it as the taste is still perfect.

Lucas Cranach the Elder
German, 1472–1553
Portrait of John I of Saxony, 1533
oil on panel
37.7 x 23.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Lord and Lady Gort
A close friend and follower of Martin Luther (1483–1546), Lucas Cranach the Elder associated with the humanist circles in Wittenberg, Germany, where he served as court painter to Frederick III and his brother John I, the Electors of Saxony from 1486–1532. Cranach's superb portrait of John I, known as John the Steadfast, a man of deep Lutheran convictions who courageously led the Protestant Confederation of Germany, is direct and unidealized. Presenting an honest but authoritative portrait, he shows the Elector's wrinkled face and tense demeanour, which bears witness to the troubled religious climate of the times. The absence of any religious imagery reveals not only a change in patronage, but also a trend toward the depiction of individuals and images from everyday life. A long inscription below includes the sitter's wish that Ferdinand I, the Archduke of Austria, become the Holy Roman Emperor.

24.08.2012 / 10:59
Czech Republic is considered one of central Europe's best kept secrets in terms of youth & music culture, festival markets and ultra hip music scene; many similarities exist between Israel and the Czech Republic – that is why the Jerusalem Music Conference decided to highlight this incredible country in their very own break out session. Our guest panelists explain how their market and in particular their live scene comes second to none (musically speaking). Learn about the many opportunities for developing artists to get on the festival circuit – what kinds and types of festivals exist, and how is the Czech system built. In short, we explore one of the most important music hubs in Europe today.

The tale of an iron
I've been borrowing the iron behind it from the store where I work. That iron and I have a history, which I'll share briefly.
My first iron was a Rowenta which my mom gave to me for a wedding present that lasted about 9 years. When it died, I bought a decent Black and Decker at Target. Which died less than a year later! I was in the middle of many projects, so I ran to the store where I work and borrowed one there so I could keep sewing.
So I called B&D, spent a while on the phone with their customer service during which they promised to send me a new iron. I thought, "okay, that's not so bad." All they asked was for me to pay the shipping for the new iron and for me to cut off the plug end of the cord and mail it to them to prove that I wasn't just scamming a new iron from them.
So I hurriedly cut the plug off, packaged it up and stuck it in my mail box and went back to sewing, only to discover I had cut the plug off the iron I borrowed from work, not my defective iron. Oh my goodness, I felt SO stupid.
Fortunately all ended well eventually. I borrowed my neighbor's iron for a few days (which she gladly lent because she hates to iron), I took the store's iron to an appliance repair place and they put a new plug on the end of the severed cord, and my new B&D iron arrived a week or so later. And then stopped working a few months later, at which point we repeated the process (minus cutting off the wrong cord), got a 3rd B&D iron in less than 2 years and this is the iron that gave out a few weeks ago.
So lessons to be learned:
Do not cut off the plugs off other people's irons.
Buy a good iron.
It sometimes comes in handy to have neighbors who hate ironing.
On another subject, I'm loving these little Snippets pieced hexagons. Now I'm off to make more!
25 comments:
You are on a roll this week - I am hysterical! I can imagine the look on your face after discovering you cut the wrong cord...ReplyDelete
Cute hexs!
I have had bad luck with Black and Deckers (I finally learned to save the Target receipt because you can bring them back in 90 days if they stop working before that), but I have heard such bad things about Rowentas leaking. What model do you have?ReplyDelete
P.S. It's kind of funny that you cut off the wrong cord - but I bet it wasn't very funny when it happened. Yikes!
Hehehe. Does Amy know?ReplyDelete
Amy, you are so funny! I'm glad you finally got a new iron. Good luck on your project, it looks complicated.ReplyDelete
Ha! Ha! Thank you for this funny post :) . I am promising myself to never cut any plugs off any irons!ReplyDelete
I bought a Rowenta Iron about a year ago. I just happened to see it in the Big Lots circular for $19.99. I saw one today just like it at JoAnns for $59.99. What a bargain! And it works great! It leaked a little the first few times I used it, but since then, no leaks at all.ReplyDelete
All the irons I used before were the cheaper models you could get at Walmart and I wasn't too concerned about it if they went out quickly. But the Rowenta is fab!
What a funny story. Thanks for sharing. I do love those hexagons!ReplyDelete
Very funny story, I am sure now, but probably wasn't then. I just love the new blocks!ReplyDelete
My Rowenta leaks.....I dropped it about a month after my lovely mother-in-law gave it to me!;) But it still works...just get drips here and there...no worries!ReplyDelete
Those hexagons are sweet!ReplyDelete
Hey, I need a new iron too... the wedding gift of 13 years ago is about done! Hmmm... would you like my old cord?
You are so funny--love to read your blog and smile. And, I'm loving the snippets.ReplyDelete
Very sad "Tales of the Irons"! Amusingly enough, I've had the same B&D for 18 years and it's still working great. You've definitely had the B&D-jinx though!ReplyDelete
So I've very curious to see how these lovely snippet hexagons end up... sew faster, sew faster! LOL! :-)
Thanks for sharing so much inspiration!
What a crazy iron story, I really enjoyed it. My husband bought me a Rowenta about 2 years ago and it is doing great! I love it. He also bought the heavy duty Rowenta ironing board to go with it and it is the best. I will never go back to anything else. Beautiful blocks! Love that Snippets!ReplyDelete
Woes of the Iron...we've all had them for sure. I'm leary of any and all iron brands. I had a friend owned a quilt shop and offered Rowenta. She discontined because problems. Customers would be upset that they had to go through Rowenta for repairs etc. It is good to read and hear some positives for sure!! I can't even say how many irons I've gone through. My DH has his own and won't let me touch it! LOLReplyDelete
Love the snippets hexagons...and the iron story...I can't believe you cut the cord off of the store iron...at least you can laugh about it now!ReplyDelete
Oh what a funny story about the iron cord!ReplyDelete
Love the hexi's! THey look great! And glad your iron got fixed!ReplyDelete
I feel so invested in your iron saga... having sent you on a wild goose chase for part of it. Congratulations on the new Rowenta... I hope it has a happy life helping to create many a lovely project.ReplyDelete
Made me laugh out loud!!! You're a good story teller!ReplyDelete
I second Sunshine's comment, you are a good storyteller. This made me laugh out loud because I can picture myself doing the exact same thing. In fact, you probably saved me from cutting the cord off of someone else's iron in the future. I read it to my husband and he chuckled, too.ReplyDelete
Love your blog!
i love this post! we have 3 irons in my house... i didn't purchase ANY of them... long stories with all of them but i defiantly love that i have more than one because there has been many times when i needed it!ReplyDelete
I have ironing stories too. Though yours somewhat top mine. The stories end the same. Rowenta all the way. The snippets quilt makes me want to weep it is going to be so cute.ReplyDelete
HeeHee! This made me LOL!ReplyDelete
Funny and sad story. I'm glad that it all worked out. I just bought a new Oliso and I love, love, love it. My Rowenta kept shutting off and I couldn't get it to turn back on. = ( .ReplyDelete
I know this was written years ago, but thought you might like to know that it's still funny today. :)ReplyDelete

Iván Juárez, founder and principal of Mexican firm x.studio was part of the 2011 A-I-R program at Centre Dalsåsen. The art center is located on the west coast of Norway where a range of landscapes interconnect. Juárez enjoyed the fjords, forests, the ocean, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains. His creation is directly inspired by nature and is a reflection of a connection to the fjords landscape. His relationship with the environment was the essence of the work.
To build his pavilion, Juárez spent a lot of time collecting materials from the forest floor – mainly pine cones. These seeds of the forest were carefully stacked to make a semi-enclosed cylinder that envelops the viewer in the textures of the forest. Inside, the pavilion directs the view up and out of the top towards the forest canopy and the sky beyond. The pavilion is as much about the act of its creation as it is about the final product.

Georgia Man Arrested on South Carolina Tax Charges
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A Georgia man employed at a South Carolina nuclear facility is in jail today after South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators arrested him on tax charges.
Jesse Clay Trowel, Jr., 46, a resident of Hephzibah, Ga., was charged with seven counts of state income tax evasion and two counts of failure to file state income tax returns. He is being held at the Aiken County Detention Center on a $45,000 bond.
Trowel, who is employed at the Westinghouse Savannah River Site, is accused of submitting fraudulent W-4 forms to his employer from 1996 – 2002 claiming to be exempt from South Carolina withholding tax. Trowel submitted correct W-4 withholding forms to his employer for 2003 and 2004, but is accused of failing to file his state income tax returns for those years.

Force India's Bob Fernley believes Paul Di Resta could "certainly" win a World title if given a winning car.
After last year's disappointing run-in to the chequered flag, which saw di Resta score just two points in six races, the Scot has bounced back this season.
Scoring points in three of the first four grands prix, di Resta came within laps of even putting his VJM06 on the podium at the last race in Bahrain.
Such is Fernley's faith in the 27-year-old that he believes he could one day walk away with a World title if given the opportunity.
"Absolutely, there is no reason why he and a number of others would not have as well, but certainly Paul could," the Deputy Team Principal told Sky Sports F1.
"Probably at least 50 per cent of the drivers on the grid today, given the right car and package, would be a World Champion, because they are some quality drivers."
However, di Resta is not the only Force India driver doing well this season as the returning Adrian Sutil has also shown some good pace, even running at the front in Australia.
"It is the perfect scenario for us," Fernley added.
"The idea of bringing Adrian in was that it would be as seamless as possible as to what had been happening between Paul and Nico and Paul and Adrian.
"In 2011 when Paul and Adrian were fighting each other, it was equally close, but what we wanted to do was keep the pressure on Paul actually because each driver needs to be performing at their limit.
"They need to give us quite a tough time and we have to set it up that they are having a tough time."
