Purchased this hood at Sears outlet store and matches perfectly my stainless kenmore stove. Originally for 299 and i got it for 74 bucks. Just has to buy a power cord and plug it in. I installed where the old hood was and fit like a glove. Once plugged in i gave it a test. It has plenty if power and lights up the stove area for great visual inspection of cooking items. Thankfully it was available when i went looking for one. Usually its hit or miss at the outlet store for things to match and get a bargain

Love this range hood. The adjustable fan is great and the bright setting for the light is great when cooking. Would recommend this range hood to everyone

Perfect over the most basic white stove. This is easy to use for our guests who visit our condo. It is clean looking, basic, and easy to wipe down. There's nothing fancy about it but will do the job perfectly!

We needed a range hood that vented out of the house and Sears had just what we needed. For a reasonable fee they even installed it. I love it and it works great. It is not loud at all.

Range hood looks wonderful, BUT....Fan is a bit noisy, especially if the filters are slightly askew. Also the light fixture will only accommodate smaller sized specialty bulbs. The cover will not fit over regular 60 watt bulbs. This was the low priced model.

"Once I finally get in the water and start taking strokes, I often feel relieved. The hard part is over. There is nothing left to do but swim."
- Christopher Swain
For those of you who don't already know him, we're pleased to introduce Christopher Swain – environmental educator, activist, and Earthkeeper Hero. Christopher has spent much of the last 5+ years swimming some of the country's most notable waterways (including the Columbia River, the Charles River, the Hudson River and Lake Champlain) in the name of cleaner water and water quality education.

Christopher recently joined the ranks of the Earthkeeper Heroes — a select group of environmental change agents who, through a partnership between Timberland and Changents.com, tell their amazing stories in real-time while building a network of fans around the world to help them.
Tomorrow, Christopher will embark on the first leg of his next adventure – a 1,000 mile swim journey from Marblehead, Massachusetts to Washington, DC. We'll be providing regular updates and insights from Christopher here on Earthkeepers, and you can follow his journey anytime on Changents.com.

Tattoos in the OR
- 0Sep 16, '12 by erinmarie320Hey all, I'm a nursing student in Alberta, set to graduate next December. I really want to do my final focus in the OR, and if that's not possible I would like to work in the OR someday. The only problem is that, years ago before I chose nursing as my intended profession, I got two full sleeves of tattoos. From what I gather this may cause a problem, as you can't show tattoos in most nursing jobs but I understand you can't wear long sleeves under your OR scrubs. Has anyone run into this, or can anyone counsel me on my options here? I apologize if this topic has been covered; I searched many threads and couldn't find a definite answer. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks
- 0Sep 16, '12 by Rose_Queen, MSN, RN GuideIf you are circulating and the facility provides them, you can wear a warm up jacket with long sleeves to cover your tattoos. If you're scrubbed, you'll have the gown sleeves covering them. I work with many nurses and surgical techs who have many tattoos, some of which were added while working (over vacation time, so that they weren't scrubbing a fresh, tender tattoo). It all depends on the facility policy. Each facility may be different. I know you're looking for a definite answer, but without talking about a specific facility, that just isn't possible.
My personal thought (and yes, I have a tattoo myself) is that they should be able to be covered. If that means a 1/4 or 1/2 sleeve instead of a full sleeve, that's what I'd go for. (Much cheaper that way too.)
- 0Sep 16, '12 by erinmarie320Thanks for your reply! You've given me hope at least! And if it was a matter of choice, I definitely would go with 1/2 or 1/4 sleeves. Alas, I have full sleeves already that are a decade old I got them before I had even decided on nursing, back when I was young and free and didn't think further ahead than the weekend haha!
I'd love to hear from any others that may have experiences with OR and scrubs and tattoos
- 1Sep 17, '12 by wanderlustRN24I circulated in an outpatient plastic surgery OR and wore long sleeve warm up jacket all the time, because it was always FREEZING. So did the other circulators. They were more concerned about hair being pulled back under the OR cap, mask, and shoe covers. It probably depends on the facility whether they allow long sleeve shirts underneath or jackets (unless we were out of compliance which I would hope not).
- 1Sep 17, '12 by itsnoworneverAnd if that doesn't work, I've only seen ONE hospital whose ER staff weren't allowed to show tattoos! You can always go there! As a matter of fact, as a STUDENT during preceptor I was told not to worry about wearing long sleeves because no one there cares about tattoos! (my fore arms have tattoos on them) One of the ER "lifers" had a HUGE sleeve on her arm and never wore a sweater!
- 2Sep 17, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorI think as time goes on the "stigma" placed on tats has waned. Many places will want you to cover your arms with a warmup jacket (which you have to wear outside the OR anyhow)...for your interview however I wouldn't wear short sleeves.....professional attire only.
- 0Sep 17, '12 by night-billyTattoos have become mainstream these days but the policy will still vary between facilities. I have chosen to cover up my tattooed arms with Ink Armor sleeves: Cover Tattoo | Tattoo Cover Up | Tattoo Cover | Free Shipping U.S - TAT2X I don't work in an OR but I do work for a major hospital that does not allow visible tattoos. I also prefer to cover up at work because it seems to make my patients more comfortable. The cover sleeves work well for my purposes but I'm not sure what the policy would be regarding wearing them in the OR. They are a nylon spandex blend and fit snug on my arms.

Tuesday, 21 September 2010
Delegates from the Tianjin University of Technology Education (TUTE), China attended ECU on Friday, 17 September to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), an official document outlining future agreed collaboration between the two universities.
The MoU, signed by Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kerry Cox, and President of the Tianjin University of Technology and Education, Professor Meng Quingguo, was officially ratified at the event, with Professor Cox represented by Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International), Professor Brenda Cherednichenko.
Other delegates from TUTE included Deputy Director General, Tianjin Education Commission, Professor Yu Lijun; Director of International Programs, Mr Xie Chao; Deputy Director of International Exchange Office, Ms Wang AiMin and Section Chief of the International Exchange Office, Mr Zhang Lei.
Representatives from ECU included Dean of ECU International, Professor Gensheng Shen; Associate Dean International, Associate Professor Helen Vella Bonavita; Partnership Development Officer, ECU International, Miss Fengmei Guo and Coordinator International, Ms Cecilia Sacoto.
The visit focussed on future collaboration in the areas of teacher's training and the Master of Education (Leadership), and also acted as an arena for both universities to discuss future research opportunities.
Professor Cherednichenko says the visit highlights ECU's commitment to fostering relationships with universities on an international level.
"It was a privilege to welcome this senior delegation from Tianjin and the Tianjin University of Education and Technology, the only vocational education and training university in China."
"A key area of interest was initiating some joint research activity, and signing the MoU will support the development of this relationship," said Professor Cherednichenko.
The MoU was first discussed in 2006, with delegates visiting ECU back in 2004. Since that time, both institutions have been working together to develop mutually beneficial learning opportunities.
For more information on ECU's international collaborations, visit the ECU International webpage.

Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry to hear that. I can't believe people would be so rude. I guess 30-something moms are pretty common in my circle, so everyone I told was excited for me. But I was pretty selective about who I told at first.
Congratulations on your exciting news!
I'm sorry that people were so ugly to you. People just seem to suck lately. Try not to let it bother you. The only important people are you, DH, and your litte baby. If no one else is excited for you, then eff them!
And LOL at the "almost 37" being old. I'm almost 38 and one of the younger ladies here!
Hi- new lurker here in the TTC stage at age 39. That is something I have been bracing myself for and I'm sorry it made itself a reality for you. I'm sure I can't even imagine how pissed you are right now!
The thing I keep trying to tell myself is that it's about them, it's not about me. It's about their headspace. B/c I had a gf from hs tell me that if she had to start having kids now vs like she did at 22, she just wouldn't have them. So, that person might be coming from that place of their own personal feelings. It prob isn't a judgement on you.
Not that it matters, but personally, I think it's great that you're jumping in and living life on your own terms. Poop on them!
Lovely(39) DH (40) Furbaby (8)
That woman has to get with the times...agree with previous post that in my circle, mid-late thirties was the norm. I am also Leary of some reactions, at 43, but don't expect any of them to my face...at least have the decency to act happy and petty talk later...
Congrads and don't let pessimistic people bring you down
I'm 38, and one of the younger moms at my daycare. I can't imagine what year people think it is that 37 would be considered too old to have a child, or even if that were the case why it would be appropriate to say that to an expectant parent.
Does having a child over 35 present it's own issues and concerns? Sure! That's why this board exists. But I think the fact that this board exists also speaks to the fact that this is what may be best for many women. Nothing wrong with bringing a little maturity and life experience to motherhood after all!
Yep, I got several negative reactions - one of them from my own grandma!!
We are having our second child and we are so excited and happy. I called to let my grandmother know and this is exactly what I got:
"OH NOOOOOOOOO - what are you doing?? You don't need anymore babies - you are too old"
Yeah, not much fun. It is clearly just awful that I am having my second child and I will be 40 but peachy keen that my cousin's daughter has a baby while in High School, by a MARRIED man - and that my grandmother now supports. But hey, this is Texas and small town West Texas at that so the general thought is if you aren't married and popping about babies by 23 then something is 'wrong' with you.
My parents weren't so thrilled themselves, but have changed their tune now that we are having a boy. My sister has three daughters (she won't be having any more babies) and my first child is a girl. Now all I hear about is their grandson on the way blah, blah, blah.......yeah - what about your four granddaughters? going to forget about them now?
The only people who seem to be really happy for us is my OBGYN and his wife! They are older parents as well and still trying for another.
I say forget all the negative remarks - I think it is perfectly fine and great to be an older parent! 37 is young!
(HUGS) and CONGRATS!!!! The only negative reaction I got was from judgmental people who knew I didn't want another baby...especially not at this point in my life. They assumed I was going to terminate, and judged me for it. Never did forgive me,me actually...wait, shouldn't they apologize to me? I digress.
My BFF was over the moon and super supportive. Telling my parents, I'm single, was a little tricky, but they just accepted it. Probably BECAUSE of my age. My OB calls me her young'un because I was AMA at 34. A few random people ask if I have any others, and when I say I have a 15 year old they laugh. No one has actually been mean to me at all.
Until recently, I was the youngest mom on this board. My GRANDMOTHER had my uncle at 40 in the 60s. My mom had my sister at 37. My aunt had my cousin at 35. You are obviously not too old to have a baby. And, as a teen mom, let me tell you, you're a lot better prepared for it than I was.
sorry you had to experience that! people are judgemental no matter what age your are. I was 19 and my ex-dh was 20 when we had our first pregnancy and people flipped out on us all of the time for being "too young" But we had a wonderful child and we were great parents (even though we had a rough marriage between the two of us). Now thirteen years later I guess I am too old? however no one has said those words to me except my own brain. LOL. Just to let you know, my grandma had my mom when she was 42 and that was in the begginning of the 1950's (1952 I think...)
We haven't told our parents yet, but before we even tried to conceive #2, my mom made it known that she thinks DS should be an only child. She doesn't think DH does enough in terms of taking care of DS and that combined with DHs learning disability (he will not be able to help DS with homework when he goes through school) and our combined family income means in my mom's mind, we should just count our blessings. DHs parents weren't much better, they think I'm old, but they started having their kids in their teens, so I don't put much stock in that. They are local and love DS to death and I am sure they will come around when LO is closer to arrival.
I will admit that the reactions we got when announcing our last pg (ended in a loss at 11w), were less than stellar from most family, so I'm not expecting puppies and rainbows this time around either. I have had to tell some co-workers just because of my appts and terrible nausea and they have all been incredible.
{{HUSG}} People s$ck.
I told my OB/GYN a year ago that DH and I were TTTC and she said to me "So your prepared to be a single mother?" WWWHHHAATTT??? I almost jumped off the table. DH is 52 and I am 35. I understand that he is "older" but WTF??!!
yep, we've already gotten a couple nasty comments. Between our ages(I'm 40, DH 48), how many kids we have (5), and that we choose to live on just DHs income so I can be home and home educate our children, we REALLY get raked over the coals at times. I SWEAR, I found two snarky t-shirts that I am buying to wear this time.
"Yes, I'm pregnant AGAIN. And yes, we know what causes it." I might even hand-letter "and we're really good at it" with a fabric marker.
"Yes, they are all my.....WAIT, where'd THAT one come from?"
I quit even telling my father after my 2nd one. I just let my mom run into him in the rural community they both live in, and let her tell him and hear his crappy comments.
I think that the ONLY right response to a pregnancy announcement is "congratulations" regardless of my personal feelings/opinions about the situation surrounding the child's conception.
{{HUSG}} People s$ck.

Oh, wow. My DH just turned 53. I won't say I don't sometimes worry about this (though DH is in excellent health), but if any of my doctors had said such a thing, I *would* have jumped off the table and walked out!!
OP: I'm really sorry you've gotten negative reactions. I'll be 41 when this one is born and people have been nothing but joyful for me (though who knows what they really think). Some know how much we've gone through to get here, though, which makes some difference, as does the fact that I'm in a field where many women have children a little later.
Crazy!!! Many/most of my friends had babies mid thirties, like I did (well, actually I was younger than many with my first two at 30 and 32, so really early 30's for me), and I always felt just normal with it. Although now that I will be 40 and have this unexpected surprise pregnancy I don't know how people will react when I tell...my other children are in school now and I am back at work after a few years off...so I may get some of the reactions you got! DH is still trying to adjust...and although I am excited, I am still trying to adjust to the idea too!
But your accountant was unbelievable rude and strange with her reaction...I mean really--you are just 36!! Reminds me of the story my mother told me about when she was pregnant with her first--me--in the early 70's at 24 and was told by her ob she was old for a first!
Another NY'er here who is also not going to let rude comments slide. Someone made a bit of a snarky comment at work about my age and I turned around gave the person my full attention and said 'exactly what do you mean by that'? Lots of stammering and uh uh uh's until she walked away red faced. At 41 I've been around the block a few times and I'm thrilled to be a first time Mom to be. For those who can't be thrilled for me, there's the door!
I had some of that. It mostly came in the form of "You weren't TRYING to get pregnant, WERE YOU?!?!" Like that would be a crime. Yes, we are 41 and 43 and were TRYING to get pregnant. Do you know how long I waited to meet the person who I would actually WANT to be my Baby Daddy? I kissed a LOT of frogs.
The family reactions that weren't so positive hurt the most. I just kept reminding myself that they have their own belief system and happily I have my own. But don't think for a moment that I wasn't already thinking about limiting how much exposure my child will have to these negative nellies.
Good luck and CONGRATS from one older mom in the making to another. We ROCK!
I am really bracing for this. As unbelievable as it is that people would express their negative thoughts so freely - I know that they do. My own MIL has gone from the passive-agressive "well, I guess I'll only ever have grandkitties" to saying nothing at all. Ugh. Not looking forward to telling her. Not to mention all the uncomfortable conversations (or lack thereof) about how/why she can't be around for us - lives too far (an hour) away, bad hips, her own injuries & issues, etc. Her own sister suspects her of inflicting injuries just for the attention (she's an accomplished martyr).
I am definitely going to remember some of PP's responses - those are great!

The Obama Staff Ball…Like Prom With Booze…Free Booze
Okay, first off – we saw our new stalker Christopher Hayes of The Nation at this ball too! We should never put up our schedule on the Internet. You never know who will randomly show up where you're going to be.
Anyway, this was the Obama Staff Ball – the final official event put on by the Presidential Inauguration Committee. Arcade Fire and Jay-Z preformed. The actor Kal Penn, who everyone in the crowd knew as 'Kumar' took the stage. He was a surrogate for the campaign so he spent his time on stage outing by name all the staffers who 'tried to kill him' by texting while driving through snowbanks.
Vice-President Joe Biden and his wife Jill made an appearance and then President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama took the stage. The new president said something to the effect of,"You guys are great." To which someone next to us said,"Hire me!" Hm. Seems to be a theme developing. Free beer dude.

How can WAS improve TO ratio?
July, 8, 2014
Jul 8
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
With a turnover differential of minus-8, the Washington Redskins tied for the seventh-worst mark in the NFL last season. RB Alfred Morris shoulders much of the blame, since he was tied for the most fumbles in the league with five. Balls thrown in the direction of WR Pierre Garcon also were a significant issue for the Redskins.

Basel III, a global standard that significantly increases the amount of capital and liquidity that lending institutions must maintain to support their operations, is likely to make trade finance less available and more costly in the foreseeable future.
The Third Basel Accord increases the capital ratio to 4.5 percent, plus an additional 2.5 percent "buffer" for a total of 7 percent, nearly tripling the 2.5 percent required under the predecessor Basel II. Increased reserves result in less available funds for lending, and its cost is bound to increase as trade finance becomes more scarce.
The G-20 Group agreed to the Basel III rules in November 2010. In December 2011, the Federal Reserve announced it would implement substantially all of Basel III. Although the overall objectives and time frames have been set, however, countries have some latitude as to how they're implemented.
Although Basel III's goal is to avoid a worldwide financial sector meltdown, all lending operations don't entail equal risk. The International Chamber of Commerce conducted a study of trade defaults and losses, and a Trade Finance Register compiling the experience of 18 of the world's largest banks showed defaults and losses were surprisingly low, and were more than adequately covered by Basel II requirements.
The European Union and U.S. trade communities are increasingly pressing their governments to delay or ease the burden of Basel III on trade finance. To this end, U.S. trade groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Council for International Business on Nov. 1 sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Although some tweaking is possible, Basel III is likely to be implemented.
It's ironic to see a trade finance squeeze on the horizon at the very time our government is committed to doubling exports.

His family "got a little mad" about him missing much of the day's festivities, "but it was fine in the end," said the 17-year-old high school student, who was waiting with a friend who had his eyes on the same deal. "I need a TV for my room, and that's a cheap price for a nice one."

"I'm a first timer," Ligocki said of visiting stores on Thanksgiving Day. He said, however, that he wished that the stores wouldn't open so early because it interferes with dinner. But the deal on the TV -- which his grandmother is buying for him as a Christmas gift -- was too good to pass up.
That's just what retailers were betting on, with Thanksgiving Day shopping increasingly becoming -- dare we say -- a tradition, leapfrogging Black Friday as the start of the holiday buying season.
In 2010, a smattering of retail chains began opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day. But their ranks have grown this year to include Macy's and JCPenney. Also, the original pioneers are greeting shoppers increasingly earlier in the day.
Toys R Us typifies the creep in Turkey Day shopping. From opening at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day in 2010, it moved up the opening to 8 p.m. last year to 5 p.m. this year. Retail analysts said merchants are opening ever earlier to beat out rivals. Retail groups also say they"re responding to consumers" preferences.
The National Retail Federation said of those intending to shop on the four-day weekend, 24 percent plan to do so on Thanksgiving Day. That represents 33 million shoppers, though the trade group concedes that people spending a few minutes online on Thanksgiving Day are included in those numbers.
Among those considering or planning to shop during the four-day weekend, consumers ages 25 to 34 are most likely to shop on Thanksgiving Day, the NRF said. Nearly 28 percent of consumers ages 18 to 24 with Thanksgiving weekend shopping plans say they might also do so on the holiday itself. But no age group is immune from the lure of a Thanksgiving Day shopping opportunity.
Lindsey Tortorello, 53, and her sister, Donna Walsh, 49, left their Humbolt Park home Thursday to hit a Kmart that opened early.
Tortorello held a manilla folder with handwritten lists and sales circulars.
"Usually, we'd have a house full of people and be slaving away in the kitchen, and before you know it, it's time to eat and clean it all up again," she said. "We're treating ourselves to a little rarity this year."
The Kmart at 1360 N. Ashland was the first stop of the day. They planned to hit Carson Pirie Scott and later Walmart for a TV.
"We might not even put the turkey in," Tortorello joked.
Thursday was the first time in 15 years the sisters had braved Thanksgiving weekend crowds. Tortorello said this was the year she felt freer to break from her family during the holiday weekend, as all of her children are young adults -- ages 23, 20, 17 and 15.
The two also said they're budgeting more these days. Walsh is injured and can't work at her waitressing and bartending job. Tortorello said she is on a fixed income.
Indeed, the new Thanksgiving Day opening phenomenon coincides with many consumers' psyches being rattled by U.S. economic conditions.
In the 14th annual holiday spending survey by the Consumer Federation of America and the Credit Union National Association, respondents were asked if "recent controversies over federal government spending and borrowing" had restrained their holiday spending plans. About half, or 51 percent, said they had, with 18 percent saying "very much." Still, the survey found reasons for optimism.
The percentage who said they'd spend more than in the prior year rose from 12 to 13, while the percentage saying they'd spend less fell from 38 to 32.

This silky serum contains a good amount of vitamin C, but the form of vitamin C is not the form that has considerable research behind it showing it to be effective for discolorations. Still, the potential exists and this serum contains a teeny-tiny amount of other plant extracts that may have a disruptive effect on melanin synthesis. (That's what leads to the brown discolorations you see on your skin.)
Overall this serum ends up being a mixed bag. The amount of fragrance and the presence of numerous fragrance chemicals known to irritate skin is cause for concern. Some of the other ingredients may be helpful for discolorations, but there are much better options, and many of those cost far less. Please refer to the list of Best Skin-Lightening Products on this site for examples.

Clarins is a distinctively French line whose beginnings go back to 1954. It was then that founder Jacques Courtin-Clarins began formulating plant-based treatments for his clients. He parlayed this into a Beauty Institute, and from there, with an all-natural mantra that was slightly ahead of its time, the business grew. Never wavering from its original marketing angle, Clarins has steadfastly held on to the belief that whatever grows from the ground and smells nice must be the cure for every skin ailment, from breakouts to loss of firmness to the dreaded "sponginess" of cellulite. A visit to today's white- and red-trimmed Clarins counter confirms that the plant-based, natural-extract rhetoric is still intact, and the counter staff is eager to discuss it (yet ask them what some of the non-plant, unnatural ingredients are doing in their products and you may be met with a blank stare).
You'll also find that Clarins routinely offers facial appointments at their counters, yet more often than not these appointments, which are done behind a privacy screen, are about selling products, not about performing a legitimate facial. (For example, cleansing, toning, and facial massage are included, while extractions are not.) One other point of difference you may hear about is the Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex. First added to their products in 1991, this Complex consists of a group of plant extracts — though what they may be is a mystery, since all manner of plant extracts show up in these products, with few repeats. This "high-performing" protection is supposed to shield skin from pollutant gases, corrosive particles, and industrial emissions. Although that sounds good, it's not true and there isn't a shred of proof to the contrary (Clarins research is unpublished). Plant extracts, alone or in combination — regardless of the remote locations they may come from — cannot keep pollution off the skin. If anything, the amount of fragrance in these products can weaken the skin's defense mechanisms, resulting in more damage from the pollution our skin encounters daily.
This line is enormous, and is absolutely one of the most cumbersome around. Within it, the assortment of plant extracts ranges from the usual to the exotic and ultimately to the no-one-knows-what-in-the-heck-these-are! Clarins has something for every skin concern imaginable—from keeping pollution off the face (not possible) to lifting a sagging jaw line (not possible without surgery), and even protecting skin from electromagnetic waves (give me a break). It would seem there is nothing these supposedly miraculous products can't do! And you'll find a horde of plants here with the promise that this can really all come true.
However, once you're armed with even a modicum of ingredient knowledge and a fair helping of myth-busting, you'll realize how ridiculously out of whack all of this hype is. That's not to imply that all of these products are bad—there are good ones—or that all of the plant extracts aren't good—because many are very good anti-irritants, antioxidants, emollients, or antibacterial agents. However, many plant extracts are also potential allergens or skin irritants. Clarins also has its fair share of ordinary, standard, and completely unnecessary products whose claims are at best misleading and at worst downright false, and overall the products are incredibly overpriced for what you get. What is most startling is the redundancy among the Clarins products. There are few differences, for example, between the moisturizers and the mask cleansers, and the oil-control products are more reruns than they are new alternatives for skin care.
Note: All Clarins products contain fragrance.

Clarins Makeup
Clarins showcases its prodigious skin-care products so prominently that you may not have noticed that their excellent makeup collection has become even more impressive. Evaluating Clarins makeup is 180 degrees different from evaluating the lackluster and confusing assortment of skin-care products they sell. When it comes to foundations, powders, and lipsticks, texture is critically important. Luckily, this is where Clarins color line excels, despite premium prices and going a bit overboard with fragrance. Their foundations are marvelous, the lone concealer is much better than their former attempts in this area, and every powder-based product feels incomparably silky while looking stunningly smooth on skin. (Keep in mind, however, that even the best makeup looks only as good as the skin on which it is applied.) Giving Lancome and Dior a run for their money, Clarins' mascaras are surprisingly good, and at least their lipsticks feel as rich as you'll need to be to afford repeat purchases. You don't need to spend this much money to get beautiful results and stellar products, but if your budget allows you to fill your makeup bag with department-store products, Clarins' nicely organized makeup display should be one of your first stops.
Clarins likes to promote that many of their foundations contain a special anti-pollution complex to safeguard your skin. Don't believe it for a second, because there is no way to completely shield skin from the effects of pollution and antioxidants. Besides, the kinds of ingredients that can reduce, not block or eliminate, pollution-based free-radical formation are rarely included in Clarins makeup.

By now, there are countless videos on Youtube that count all the odd events and unanswered questions about 9/11, an avalanche started with the video "Loose change". I must say, many of those videos are fixated on some pixel artifacts, bad cameras or they're mostly based on assumptions.
But there's one rather new video that asks 50 questions that have not been answered yet, and it's doing so on a scientific basis – e.g. with the help of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
This means this video with the name "September 11 – The New Pearl Harbor" is the next generation of 9/11 conspiracy videos, which answers to all the "debunkers" who tried to defame the first people that asked questions. Imho a must-see:

Overtime pay at the city's fire department has hit an all-time high, coming in at $308 million for the current fiscal year.
The FDNY says some of that is because of Hurricane Sandy.
However, Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said he expects overtime hours to drop because of the 300 firefighters that were sworn-in last month.
More new hires are expected in July.
"Once we get those firefighters in the field, our next year's budget is $215 [million], down from $231 [million], and another class comes it will go down even further. Yeah, we're leveling off and we'll certainly go down now with the new firefighters in the field," Cassano said.
The department also blames fallout from a long-standing discrimination lawsuit, which led to a lengthy hiring freeze.

You are probably singing right now…"One moment in time…." but I seriously meant " One Moment at a Time" as post title. Why? Because all it takes is one moment in time to realize our true potential. This Tuesday marked the 3rd week of Core Film Class at Art Sake's Studio. I have been enjoying the heck out of this class. I am learning to trust my impulses in acting and to be more "in the moment".
This week I am realizing that doors continue to open. I feel there is limitless possibilities and potential in our world. Sometimes the doors that open are right in front of our eyes, and we fail to notice for one reason or another. So that is where "mindfulness" comes in. When I slow my mind down and focus on the emotions, what is bubbling up under the surface; the answers begin to appear. So I encourage you to do the same. Go to Google and click on "Guided Imagery", meditations or take a local yoga class. It really does make a significant different on your day while also bringing clarity to what is bubbling up.
This week was exciting! Stay tuned, as my friend Georgia and I just began pre production on our co-write. We will be posting our new song this summer. Also, I will be an extra in a local Indie film called " Hope for Harmony" to be taped this upcoming week.
Not much more to say, as its Friday "Eve". We are all tired, right? Time to renew, repair and reboot for the next week.
Live. Love. Create.

Project VOYCE (Voices of Youth Changing Education) is a Denver-based non-profit that empowers youth to be the change they wish to see in the world! Project VOYCE (PV) was initially conceived by and for high school youth who wanted a quality education and a better chance for success in life. The organization was founded by youth and adults in 2006 following the controversial closure of Denver's Manual High School.
The Mission is: To empower youth to create positive change within their lives, their schools, their communities, and the world.
Our goals include: increasing graduation and post-secondary success rates among predominantly high- poverty, inner-city youth; improving the quality of education for all students; and inspiring youth to become educated, informed, and engaged citizens.
Our current partner schools are:
- Bruce Randolph School
- Manual High School
- CEC Middle College of Denver
- Denver Center for 21st Century Learning
- Denver Justice HS
- West Generation Academy
- North Valley School For Young Adults
Project VOYCE provides services at the individual, school/community, and systems levels. First, PV hires and trains up to 35 inner-city youth as part of its 8-week Summer Leadership Institute. Afterwards, approximately 160 students participate in Chapter Teams at our DPS partner schools during the school year. Students focus on peer-led initiatives to improve school culture and increase student engagement. Finally, PV works on special projects that promote positive change at the systems level. These projects include teacher trainings, youth-led action research, media campaigns, and legislative advocacy. In 2013-14, PV served more than 7,000 students, teachers, and school leaders through our programs .
"I used to be a statistic. As a freshman, I had no credits, no home, and no hope. Through Project VOYCE, I have learned skills that not only helped me grow and be successful, but also help others at my school." Destiny Carney, 2013 DC-21 High School Graduate
"The best thing I have learned in 20 years of teaching math to improve my teaching is what I have learned from Project VOYCE." Taylor Betz, Bruce Randolph School teacher.
"Because of the training and the interactions with the students and staff at Project VOYCE, our teachers will be approaching their classrooms and their students with a forward- thinking attitude centered on engaging students… I could not be more thankful for our partnership with Project VOYCE and the invaluable information and perspective that our teachers were supplied with." Jennifer Fox, Teach For America – Colorado

Last month we looked at how to set up your Facebook page. Here's where it starts getting good: now that you've got a Facebook page set up, it's time to market your page and use it to get clients.
Making Friends on FacebookWhether or not Facebook works for your cleaning business is largely based on the number of Facebook "friends" you have. Without friends, Facebook has little value. So after you get a few posts and pictures put on your page, start soliciting right away for friends.
Type your city name, suburb, or state in the search function. Keep clicking on "See more results" until you find people or business you want to "Add as a friend." Know that you can "Like" a business too, but adding them as a friend is much better for your Facebook marketing because friends can see your posts and messages.
Another way to get friends is to include your city name in your Facebook username. This will help other businesses seek you out to become friends with, thus having some of the friend-finding done for you. Most of these friend requests will be other businesses that are trying to add friends, just like you are. But the more friends you have the better you look on Facebook, so go ahead and accept their friend requests.
Put a Facebook button on your website that leads directly to your Facebook page. This shows site lurkers you are active on Facebook. Plus, it helps your clients and web lurkers connect with you.
Mention your Facebook profile in your snail-mail client newsletter as well as your email newsletter. When you send out a client newsletter, make mention of your Facebook page. In your email newsletter, put a direct link to your Facebook page. Those who know and love your company will seek you out to be friends on Facebook.
Mention your Facebook profile in your advertisements. This won't be as effective, because your cold prospects aren't as likely to search for you on Facebook. But when you have room in larger ads, by all means include your Facebook address as an additional way for people to find out more about your cleaning business.
The more avenues you give prospects to contact you, the better your results.
Keeping Friends on FacebookLet's think for a moment why someone would want to become friends on Facebook with a cleaning business:
- Someone looking for special cleaning offers
- Future prospects looking for more information about your company
- Current clients who just want to keep in touch
Give educational tips. You can write up some quick tips on what to do to remove urine, ink, soda, or wax. You could write a quick tip of the week for maintaining carpet, tile, hardwood, or natural stone. For dual purpose, you can take some of the same information and use it in your email newsletters or on your website. Educating your prospect puts you on a pedestal and shows you are the expert.
Use contests to create a viral buzz. What if you gave away free cleaning for life? Would that create a buzz in the Facebook community? You bet it would. I have a client who used this strategy and built the core of his business on it. He got tons of free press and publicity.
Create a contest with a big prize and people will pay attention to what you're doing and they'll tell their Facebook friends about you. And of course, to enter the contest, they would have to be your friend.
If you're working on a large or unusual job, post about it. Perhaps a popular local restaurant had a fire and you were called to do the restoration. Maybe you handled a large pet urine job and saved your client from carpet replacement. It could even be about your latest marble polishing job. If it seems appropriate, post about it. This gives big credibility to your company and it helps your clients and prospects see more about all the different services you offer.
Post videos of completed jobs, client testimonials, cleaning tips, employees, company news, contests, or anything else about your company. Videos help to show instead of just tell about a subject. More so than pictures, many people are captivated by video. Carry around a cheap video camera and use it any time the opportunity arises.
It's important to not stick with just one strategy. You really need a variety. Some people may want lots of tips on spot removal while others only want to see your latest cleaning specials. And remember not to post too often; once every week is usually plenty. You don't want to get de-friended or have your messages ignored.
Do something attention-getting with your Facebook page. This will help add and keep friends. And more importantly, it will help translate Facebook friends into faithful paying clients for your cleaning business.

Recipe by:
Andy Bates
Ingredients Tick boxes to send shopping list to email
Rare Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings
1) To make the Yorkshire puddings, sift the flour and add pinch of salt. Whisk the eggs and milk then slowly whisk into the flour to make the batter. Leave the mix to rest overnight in the fridge.
2) Once rested, whisk the mix and bring to room temp. Heat pudding trays with oil at 220°C until smoking, and then pour in the batter and cook for 35 mins until risen and golden brown. Do not open the oven door when they are cooking.
3) For the onion rings, slice the onion thinly in whole slices. Dust in flour and then deep fry until golden brown.
4) Slice Yorkshire in half (not all the way!) and open like a bun. In a bowl gently mix the salad and dressing together, and then fill Yorkshire with salad. Season both slices of the sirloin and lay on top.
5) Mix the grated horseradish, chives and creme fraiche together and spoon a large tablespoon over the beef, before sprinkling with onion rings.

Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year from
Wildhorse Ranch Rescue
Mission: To save animals from abuse, neglect, slaughter and premature death and provide a safe place for them to live for the remainder of their lives.
Our Programs:
Wildhorse Ranch Rescue was started in 1995 by Kim Meagher (pronounced Ma-her), an employee of Intel Corporation. She and her two young children, Nick and McKay, accidentally found out about the plight of homeless horses in the United States. Once they knew that over 60,000 horses in this country are sent to horrible deaths each year, they knew they had to do something to help. They rescued horses privately from 1995 until 2000. But even with their efforts, they could not save very many horses. Kim applied for, and received non-profit status for Wildhorse Ranch Rescue (WHRR) and with the help of many people, WHRR has been able to help save many horses from death, abuse and neglect.
Wildhorse Ranch Rescue also takes in retired United States Government horses and mules from the Payson Forest Service, Alpine Forest Service and the United States Cavalry. WHRR provides an opportunity for these hardworking animals to live in peace and comfort in their golden years.
WHRR is a registered 501(c)3 organization with the Federal Government and in the State of Arizona. All donations are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS.
