Something of a low-rent variation on Peter Howitt's 1998 Sliding Doors, Uncertainty opens on Independence Day, with a young couple, Bobby Thompson (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and girlfriend Kate Montero (Lynn Collins), standing in New York City and pondering which direction to choose for that afternoon's adventure. They opt to settle that decision with a coin toss, at which point the film forks off into two potential narratives -- one, "Green," dramatizes what happens when the couple high-tails it to lower Manhattan; the other, "Yellow," finds the couple venturing to Brooklyn for a July 4th celebration with Kate's sprawling Hispanic family.
To the directors' credit, the film never grows confusing, despite the intertwined stories with the same two leads playing out two separate narratives at the same time. McGehee and Siegel create a distinct set of stylistic elements for each tale; each has its own wardrobe, cinematographic style, tone, and pace, so that we know exactly where we are, and what is happening, at any given point in the movie. Unfortunately, the movie lacks narrative balance -- not in terms of screen time but in terms of raw audience interest. The tension and suspense of the "Yellow" story -- which finds Bobby and Kate relentlessly pursued through lower Manhattan by suited thugs, and attempting to extort a ransom from the owner of a cell phone found in a taxicab -- grow so strong and overwhelming that they detract from the "Green" story. The "Yellow" tale is no more than a cheap, tacky, two-bit melodrama (and it more than strains plausibility), so that we might even feel embarrassed to care, but on some rudimentary level, the cliffhangers in that story really do work, though the ending feels like a complete cop-out. The "Green" story is not only less eventful, but quasi-anemic; its dramatic highlights consist of the couple finding a stray dog, and Kate waffling over whether or not to open up to her domineering mother.
In neither case do the stories succeed at creating genuinely interesting, multilayered characters that earn our empathy and fascination -- and in neither case do the stories contribute to some larger thematic basis that the movie desperately needs to justify its parallel narrative conceit and avoid the trap of film-school-level pretentiousness. In Sliding Doors, writer-director Howitt fell back on the obvious but endlessly intriguing idea of chance versus fate -- how the entire course of one's life can be altered permanently by a split-second decision -- so that the divergent paths of the central character (Gwyneth Paltrow) wound up at two wildly different destinations. But here, Siegel and McGehee essentially bring the central couple to an identical emotional and spiritual place at the end of each story, so that we're still questioning what each "journey" really demonstrates to the audience, and why it was necessary to even observe multiple outcomes. In the end, the film's chase sequences through Manhattan are incredibly thrilling, and the scenes of physical and emotional intimacy between the central lovers genuinely touching, but the movie seems to lack an overarching purpose. leave a comment --Nathan Southern

This Week's Best Food Instagrams
By Nancy Stiles
There are both entrées and house specialties. The former lean toward Chinese dishes we have all had many, many times. General Tso's chicken, about as American as American-Chinese dishes get, had the sweet, sticky quality of Chinese takeout. There were red chiles on the plate, but not much heat in the dish.
I had more luck with the house specialties. Cornish hen had a crisp skin and tender meat. I wanted more flavor from the honey-garlic dipping sauce that came with it, but I dug the side dish, a very chewy, almost tacky rice cake that had a mild, coconut-like sweetness. And at $11.95, the plate offers quite a value, relative to the rest of the menu.
To my surprise, I preferred the Cornish hen to the Peking duck. The duck's skin was crisp and tasty, but the meat was only moderately flavorful. Tucked with scallions and a smear of hoisin sauce inside a soft rice bun, the meal tasted mostly of hoisin. At $26.95, I expected better duck.

Having blown my budget on the burger with foie gras and black truffle at Burger Bar, I didn't order either of Asia's splurge dishes, bird's nest soup and shark fin soup. That said, I urge those of you who work up a sweat whenever I mention foie gras to ponder the practice of "finning" sharks for shark fin soup. Here's a chance to be self-righteous and justified!
Speaking of self-righteous and justified: A twelve-ounce bottle of Sapporo beer at Asia costs $7.25, which is just plain ridiculous. (Tsingtao costs $4.25. But Tsingtao isn't very good.)
Service is very fast-paced. Dishes emerged from the kitchen quickly: I ordered sushi and then, minutes later, an entrée. Both arrived at the same time. Checks were left at my table while I was still eating.
Your check does come with a fortune cookie. My first fortune told me, "You will continue to take chances and be glad you did." Maybe I'll start hitting on eighteen... I wondered whether every fortune at Asia would have a gambling interpretation, but another informed me I would "prosper in the field of wacky inventions."
I like my chances in succeeding in that field better than beating the house at blackjack.

Paris Tourist Attractions
The townscape of Paris, extending on both banks of the Seine with the hills of Montmartre and the Buttes Chaumont in the north and the Montagne de Ste-Geneviève in the south, has a charm all its own. The great ring of boulevards with their constant surge of traffic and their bright lights when darkness falls, contrasting with the peaceful parks and quiet side streets of the old residential quarters, the long lines of streets and the spacious squares, the legendary Champs-Elysées, the magnificent public buildings, palaces and churches, many of them floodlit at night, the profusion of historic buildings and the futuristic architecture of the present day, the fantastic views from the higher points of the city, the busy movement of shipping on the Seine, the little cafés and bistros with their varying personalities, the color and bustle of the weekly markets, the sheer elegance or stylish nonsenses of the famous fashion houses, the unsurpassable gastronomy of France, the endless range of cultural offerings, from the great museums of international standing to the extreme manifestations of pop culture, the incomparable charm of Parisian savoir vivre: all these varied elements contribute to the irresistible attraction of Paris.
Paris, France's national capital and an international metropolis, the seat of government, all the major government departments and many international organizations, the see of a cardinal archbishop and an ancient university town, lies in a wide basin on both banks of the Seine, which here receives its principal tributary, the Marne. Although Paris's free port (Port Autonome) has lost traffic to the roads and the railways it is still the largest French inland port, with facilities for handling individual consignments, container loads and oil.
France's largest city is an economic and cultural metropolis of international importance and worldwide fame. In spite of the transfer of administrative authority from the central government to the regions in recent years Paris still remains the central reference point for the whole country. Although its population has fallen since the 1950s it is still one of the largest concentrations of people in the world. The city is divided into twenty arrondissements (wards or districts), the numbering of which starts from the Louvre and continues in a double spiral, going clockwise. For the initiated the terms "Rive droite" and "Rive gauche" (right bank and left bank) not only have historical significance (the right bank was the middle-class district, the left bank the home of the nobility and aristocracy) but summon up associations with particular kinds of social status and quality of life.
The traditional names of the various quartiers ("neighborhoods") of Paris, which often have very distinctive identities of their own, frequently do not correspond to the official designations but are derived from old place-names, important buildings or their particular character. The former faubourgs have long since been incorporated in the city, while the banlieue outside the city boundaries is the commuter belt of the modern city.
The population of the historic center of Paris is around 500,000 and of the city area (the Ville de Paris) more than 2,085,000, including many foreigners. At the beginning of the 12th century the population of Paris was just under 100,000; by 1850, after the incorporation of the faubourgs, it had reached about 1.5 million within the then existing fortifications. With an area of 105sq.km/41sq.mi, of which 714 hectares/1,764 acres are accounted for by the river, Paris is one of the most densely populated of the world's capitals. If the new départements (formed in 1965 in suburban areas which had coalesced with the city) of Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-St-Denis and Val-de-Marne are included, together with parts of the départements of Val-d'Oise, Yvelines, Essonne and Seine-et-Marne, the "Agglomération Parisienne" has a population approaching 10 million.
The département of Ville-de-Paris, the real city of Paris, is divided into twenty wards or administrative districts officially known as cantons but universally referred to as arrondissements.
Arrondissements I to VIII are centrally situated on both banks of the Seine, while Nos. IX to XX extend in a wide arc round the city center. The arrondissements in turn are divided into quartiers, which are numbered from 1 to 80.

1087: Cirith Ungol
The comic here is a mash up between the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books and movies and the novel and movie Charlotte's Web.
The title Cirith Ungol is a reference to Lord of the Rings where Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee were led to Cirith Ungol by Gollum to the lair of the ancient spider Shelob.
And therefore in this comic, Frodo (by himself) is being led into the lair of the spider, Charlotte. We can tell by the "Some Pig" writing in the spider web on the lower right hand corner which is a direct reference to the story of Charlotte's Web, in which a spider named Charlotte writes the very same text in her web.
In the image text, syntactic ambiguity is a property of sentences which may be reasonably interpreted in more than one way, or reasonably interpreted to mean more than one thing.
The ambiguity of the sentence quoted is that the pig named Wilbur could have been saved by Charlotte from being slaughtered by someone or could have been saved by someone from being slaughtered by Charlotte.
The sentence could be read as "... about a pig named Wilbur who is saved ... by an intelligent spider named Charlotte" or, alternatively, "... about a pig named Wilbur who is saved from being slaughtered by ... Charlotte"
[A character in a long flowing robe holds up the phial of galadriel in one hand; the One Ring is dangling from a necklace in the other. The scene is a cave, profuse with spiderwebs, bones hanging in some of them. On one of the webs are words, presumably written by the spider.]
- This comic caused a minor edit war on Wikipedia's Charlotte's Web article.
I don't think this is correct: "Another possibility of the ambiguity is that the author, E. B. White, was saved from being slaughtered by Charlotte."
The ambiguous sentence is: 'Charlotte's Web is a children's novel by American author E. B. White, about a pig named Wilbur who is saved from being slaughtered by an intelligent spider named Charlotte.'
"American author E. B. White" and "who is saved..." are separated by "about a pig named Wilbur" which references the novel.
So the relative clause "who is saved..." cannot reference "American author E. B. White".
BJL (talk) 05:22, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
I've deleted the sentence cited above from the page. BJL (talk) 07:32, 6 August 2012 (EDT)The ambiguity is if the "by" in "by an intelligent spider..." refers to "is saved" or "being slaughtered" - is he being saved by said spider, or is someone saving him from being slaughtered by said spider? 184.108.40.206 20:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

This is a powerfully concentrated ORME product.
THIS OIL IS INFUSED FOR SIX MONTHS WITH WPG AND IS LOADED WITH ORMEs
Made with all organic oils: olive oil, sesame oil, and grapeseed oil. Infused with DSS and WPG
About us: We make m-state mannas, White Powder Gold (WPG) and ormus for our small community of long time participants from all over the Americas..... offered here is a small bottle of our Ormus oil, which is a mixture of organic oils. We blend organic sesame, coconut, grapeseed and olive oil for our oil blend. Then we allow the oil to extract the ORMEs from Dead Sea Salt for an extended period. This auction if for a bottle containing slightly more than one ounce (1oz plus about 30gm) bottle of ormus oil (of which we now have a number). Our ormus is not a commercial venture, rather we make it in small batches for those we love. Our Ormus Oil can be used topically or taken as a food supplement as it has all organic ingredients. We go to incredible lengths to make this special product. This is the first time we've offered the oil for sale on e-bay (we've been making it for many years and have never had enough to offer here). Our ormus is made with great care with attention to all astrological aspects.
CAVEATS: If you've taken "ormus" products and have felt nothing, please don't count on this product being different. If you're unsure what this is: Educate yourself first! Google "Ormus" and "ORME." Look up subtleenergies.com (not associated with us)If you don't know what ormus is, or if you've never taken any m-state or ormus products, please bid only after educating yourself. Ormus or sea water "m-state" are new and experimental. You must assess the risk of consumption on your own terms: Use at your own risk. Our use or sale of this should not be construed as a prescription in any way.
HERE IS WHAT WE BELIEVE We have all heard the stories of ancient folks who lived lives of eight, nine hundred and even a thousand years. In Chinese history the tale of "Master White Stone" teases us with his reputed age of three thousand years. The biblical Methuselah was reputed to be nearly a thousand years old. In the old renditions of the texts now "aprocraphical" it is related that Jesus was initiated into the order of Melchesedech by none other than Melchesedech himself. It doesn't dawn on any of us that Melchesedech is the ancient name of one of the sons of Noah and if still living at the time of Jesus, he would be nearly ten thousand years old. All this incredible stuff was closely protected by Secret societies and not shared by the common people. Even the "Magdalene" women of Jesus time practiced ancient Egyptian religious sacrament practices which included making both water and oil preparations which were so incredibly healing that they would bring a person back to life. "Magdalene" seems to be able to be loosely translated as keeper of the water, is connected to much more ancient Egyptian religious tradition and has connotations to water of life or fountain of youth and is probably the foundation of the old myth of a fountain of youth. In fact, the fountain was probably a man made thing which produced "manna" which extended life to the extent of being eternal or unimaginably long. Perhaps the promise of eternal life of believers was an actual promise carried out in ancient times and allowed to only a privileged few insiders who were able to take manna and live an eternal life, not a life after death at all. Perhaps dying wasn't included at all. In the old texts (included in the old testament) the story of Gilgamesh is repeated and his quest for approval of the gods and acceptance into heaven. When he gains entry into heaven, he is fed "manna" and gains eternal life. This hinting at extended life is all throughout the old texts and only later (the new testament) becomes a reward gained through death, but death is a later idea and perhaps wasn't considered desirable by the most ancient alchemists and preists. So what if there was something which would turn back the clock and bring your body back to life? Most people wouldn't believe you if you claimed to have discovered such a thing. You would have to "couch" such claims in scientific analysis and discussion. Under such scrutiny, the religious and mystical nature of such a discovery might be lost. As unbelievable as it might seem, the secrets of the old testament seem to have revealed themselves to a few people (Sir Lawrence Gardner and John Hudsen might be two) and their discoveries are now being repeated by many. This substance has been called Ormus or Manna for many thousands of years and is now reentering the popular consciousness as something that can actually turn back the clock and reverse the effects of aging. Of course, this has been known for many hundreds, even thousands of years by members of a few secret religious or spiritual societies who called themselves "Alchemists" and pursued the preparation of elixirs of life. The parallels between preparations of elixirs of life, waters of life, manna and life extension are amazing to those of us who have been studying these ancient ways. So we make Ormus!

Company officials also expect to reaffirm the Company's expectations for 2014, including with respect to, among other things, revenue and earnings growth, as discussed during the Company's third quarter 2013 earnings conference call. The Company's third quarter 2013 earnings release and conference call transcript are available under Quarterly Reports and SEC Filings in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website located at www.cigna.com/aboutcigna/investors.
The Company's outlook for full year 2013 excludes the potential effects of future capital deployment and previously recorded special item after-tax charges of $24 million related to the pharmacy benefits arrangement, $507 million related to the effective exit of the run-off reinsurance guaranteed minimum death benefits and the guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIB") businesses and $51 million related to a regulatory matter in the disability business. Special items for the remainder of 2013 may include amounts associated with litigation, guaranty fund assessments and cost reduction initiatives. The Company's expectations for 2014 exclude the impact of any potential prior year reserve development and potential effects of future capital deployment.
Consolidated adjusted income from operations is shareholders' net income excluding net realized investment results, special items and results of the GMIB business. Adjusted income from operations is a measure of profitability used by the Company's management because it presents the underlying results of operations of the Company's businesses and permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and shareholders' net income. This measure is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are segment earnings and shareholders' net income. At this time, management is unable to identify or reasonably estimate future net realized investment results or special items; therefore, it is not possible to provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income.
The foregoing statements represent management's current expectations as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially depending on a number of factors, and investors are urged to read the Cautionary Statement included in this report for a description of those factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act whether made before or after the date of this report, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written and oral forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, statements contained in this report, press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reports to shareholders and during meetings with analysts and investors. Forward-looking statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions, trends and other uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management at the time the statements are or were made. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the information concerning possible or assumed future business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, trends and, in particular, the Company's strategic initiatives, litigation and other legal matters, operational improvement initiatives in the Company's health care operations, and the Company's outlook for full year 2013 and beyond results. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "may", "should", "will" or similar expressions.
By their nature, forward-looking statements: (i) speak only as of the date they are made, (ii) are not guarantees of future performance or results, and (iii) are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or quantify. Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely from those forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include:
1. health care reform legislation, as well as additional changes in state or federal regulation, that could, among other items, affect the way the Company does business, increase costs, limit the ability to effectively estimate, price for and manage medical costs, and affect the Company's products, services, market segments, technology and processes;
2. adverse changes in state, federal and international laws and regulations, including increased medical, administrative, technology or other costs resulting from new legislative and regulatory requirements imposed on the Company's businesses;
3. risks associated with pending and potential state and federal class action lawsuits, disputes regarding reinsurance arrangements, other litigation and regulatory actions challenging the Company's businesses, including disputes related to payments to health care professionals, government investigations and proceedings, tax audits and related litigation, and regulatory market conduct and other reviews, audits and investigations, including the possibility that the Cigna-HealthSpring business may be adversely affected by potential changes in risk adjustment data validation audit and payment adjustment methodology;
4. challenges and risks associated with implementing improvement initiatives and
strategic actions in the ongoing operations of the businesses, including
those related to: (i) growth in targeted geographies, product lines, buying
segments and distribution channels, (ii) offering products that meet emerging
market needs, (iii) strengthening underwriting and pricing effectiveness,
(iv) strengthening medical cost results and a growing medical customer base,
(v) delivering quality service to members and health care professionals using effective technology solutions, and (vi) lowering administrative costs;
5. the unique political, legal, operational, regulatory and other challenges associated with expanding our business globally;
6. challenges and risks associated with the successful management of the Company's outsourcing projects or key vendors;
7. the ability of the Company to execute its growth plans by successfully leveraging capabilities and integrating businesses, including the Cigna-HealthSpring business by, among other things, operating Medicare Advantage plans and Cigna-HealthSpring's prescription drug plan, retaining and growing the customer base, realizing revenue, expense and other synergies, renewing contracts on competitive terms or maintaining performance under Medicare contracts, successfully leveraging the information technology platform of the acquired businesses, and retaining key personnel;
8. risks associated with security or interruption of information systems, that could, among other things, cause operational disruption;
9. risks associated with the Company's information technology strategy, including that the failure to make effective investments or execute improvements may impede the Company's ability to deliver services efficiently;
10. the failure to maintain effective prevention, detection and control systems for regulatory compliance and detection of fraud and abuse;
11. risks associated with the pharmacy benefits management agreement with Catamaran Corporation, including without limitation, those related to the ability to transition and implement successfully the agreement in a timely, cost-efficient manner without an adverse impact on service to clients and customers, and the failure to achieve projected operating efficiencies, estimated earnings per share accretion and estimated financial contribution to the Company's results;
12. risks associated with the Company's mail order pharmacy business that, among other things, includes any potential operational deficiencies or service issues as well as loss or suspension of state pharmacy licenses;
13. liability associated with the Company's operations of onsite clinics and medical facilities, including the health care centers operated by the Cigna-HealthSpring business;
14. heightened competition, particularly price competition, that could reduce product margins and constrain growth in the Company's businesses, primarily the Global Health Care business;
15. significant stock market declines, that could, among other things, impact the Company's pension plans in future periods as well as the recognition of additional pension obligations;
16. significant changes in market interest rates or sustained deterioration in the commercial real estate markets that could reduce the value of the Company's investment assets;
17. downgrades in the financial strength ratings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, that could, among other things, adversely affect new sales and retention of current business or limit the subsidiaries' ability to dividend capital to the parent company, resulting in changes in statutory reserve or capital requirements or other financial constraints;
18. significant deterioration in global market economic conditions and market volatility, that could have an adverse effect on the Company's investments, liquidity and access to capital markets;
19. unfavorable developments in economic conditions, that could, among other things, have an adverse effect on the businesses of our customers (including the amount and type of health care services provided to their workforce, loss in workforce and ability to pay their obligations), the businesses of hospitals and other providers (including increased medical costs) or state and federal budgets for programs, such as Medicare or social security, resulting in a negative impact to the Company's revenues or results of operations;
20. risks associated with the Company's reinsurance arrangements for the run-off retirement benefits, life insurance and annuity business, variable annuity death benefits and guaranteed minimum income benefits businesses, including but not limited to, failure by the reinsurer to meet its reinsurance obligations or that the reinsurance does not otherwise provide adequate protection; or
21. potential public health epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters and bio-terrorist activity, that could, among other things, cause the Company's covered medical and disability expenses, pharmacy costs and mortality experience to rise significantly, and cause operational disruption, depending on the severity of the event and number of individuals affected.
This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive. Other sections of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the "Risk Factors" section, and other documents filed with the SEC include both expanded discussion of these factors and additional risk factors and uncertainties that could preclude the Company from realizing the forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Natural Skin Care Tips
The skin is probably the most important body tissue. About 20 square feet of it covers the body and functions as protection for muscles, nerves, blood vessels and other organs. The skin also serves as a kind of thermostat by regulating body temperature. In addition, it is sensitive to external stimuli; in some cases this characteristic could prevent more serious burns or cuts.
Basically, the skin presents a barrier to harmful environmental elements, such as dirt, bacteria, fungi, temperature extremes and radiation. Because of the exposure to a variety of hazards, it is not surprising that skin disorders account for one-half to two-thirds of all compensation claims for occupational diseases in the United States. These figures do not include cuts, puncture wounds or bruises because they are considered physical injuries.
Chemicals In Skin Care Products
As an introduction to the topic of proper skin care, I would advise you to read the highly informative "Guide To Toxic Chemical Ingredients in Cosmetics and Body Care Products. The Toxic Chemical Ingredient Directory." Read this report and find out what very potent poisons are lurking in your skin care products, and why anyone and especially someone with a skin condition such as dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis just must avoid them.
It is a fact that while many of us are committed to natural foods and remedies, we may not be as selective when it comes to personal care products.
Many of the synthetic compounds used in products such as shampoos, lotions, and skin creams are known cancer causers and skin irritants.
There are many so-called 'natural' products on the market now, but be sure that the one you buy is all-natural. Read the ingredient list, as a lot of products are marketed as natural, but they may only contain a small percentage of pure, natural ingredients. If it's all natural, that's the one to buy.
Many companies, even those that tout themselves as providing an all-natural line, use ingredients that have been linked to skin irritation and dryness, as well as various skin diseases such as cancer. Therefore, it is important to learn which ingredients are potentially harmful and can actually contribute to and cause the skin problems you are trying to avoid.
For example, a cancer-causing compound called 1,4-dioxane has been found in some of the most commonly used petroleum-based cosmetics by a study commissioned by the Environmental Working Group. The list includes products from natural companies such as Kiss My Face, Nutribiotic, Jason, Ecover, Citrus Magic, 365, Alba, Lifetree, Giovanni, Seventh Generation, Method, Earth Friendly Products, Sea-Chi Organics and many other brands.
1,4-dioxane (often just called dioxane) is a clear, colorless, organic compound that's a liquid at room temperature and is a known human carcinogen. Studies show that this chemical readily penetrates the skin. EPA classifies it as a probable human carcinogen, and the National Toxicology Program considers it a known animal carcinogen.
Companies whose products were found to be free of 1,4-Dioxane include Dr. Bronner's, Aubrey Organics, Burt's Bees, Desert Essence, Dr. Hauschka, TerrEssentials, Avalon Organics among other companies.
Click on www.naturalnews.com/022846.html to learn more about this problem.
According to a study of cosmetic reactions conducted by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group the most common cause of allergic and irritant reactions are fragrances and preservatives in cosmetics.
This problem can be better understood from the following eye opening statement found on the web site of the FDA".
The reason for this is that, in 1938, the FDA granted self-regulation to the cosmetics industry, allowing these companies to decide for themselves what they put in the products we use absolutely disregarding the health damaging effects of these chemicals!.
The following are only some of the types of toxic chemicals and skin irritants commonly found in many popular skin care products.
• Sodium Laurel Sulfate: SLS is a very common chemical found in shampoos, hair conditioners, toothpaste, body washes, and bubble baths.
SLS is a harsh detergent commonly used as an engine degreaser and garage floor cleaner. When applied to human skin it has the effect of stripping off the oil layer, and then irritating and eroding the skin, leaving it rough and pitted.
The American Journal of Toxicology has found that SLS irritates skin tissue, corrodes hair follicles, and impairs the ability to grow hair. It also enters and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain.
SLS causes eczema and mouth ulcers in susceptible people and could be the contributing factor in the onset of psoriasis.
Many sufferers of scalp complaints have eased their conditions simply by switching to an SLS-free shampoo.
• DEA [Diethanolamine]: DEA is a colorless liquid or crystalline alcohol that is used as a solvent, emulsifier, and detergent. DEA works as an emollient in skin softening lotions or as a humectant in other personal care products.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) completed a study in 1998 that found an association between the topical application of DEA, certain DEA-related ingredients, and cancer in laboratory animals. For the DEA-related ingredients, the NTP study suggests that the carcinogenic response is linked to possible residual levels of DEA. The NTP study did not establish a link between DEA and the risk of cancer in humans.
The U.S. FDA believes that at the present time there is no reason for consumers to be alarmed based on the use of these substances in cosmetics. However, consumers wishing to avoid cosmetics containing DEA or DEA-related ingredients may do so by reviewing the ingredient statement that is required to appear on the outer container label of cosmetics offered for retail sale to consumers.
Common Sense Thought: Why take a chance and use products that contain DEA when you can purchase organic, DEA-free products?
The following are some of the most commonly used ingredients that may contain DEA:
Although DEA itself is used in very few cosmetics, DEA-related ingredients are widely used in a variety of cosmetic products. These ingredients function as emulsifiers or foaming agents, and generally are used at levels of 1 to 5% of a product's formulation.
The following are some of the most commonly used ingredients that may contain DEA:
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide MEA
- DEA-Cetyl Phosphate
- DEA Oleth-3 Phosphate
- Lauramide DEA
- Linoleamide MEA
- Myristamide DEA
- Oleamide DEA
- Stearamide MEA
- TEA-Lauryl Sulfate
- Triethanolamine
• Mineral Oil: A mixture of refined liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. Mineral oil is the stabilizing ingredient of many skin care products. Mineral oil forms an occlusive film on your skin, blocking your pores, and interfering with normal skin respiration. The skin is a living, breathing organ and it needs to respire. When toxins and wastes are trapped in and oxygen is kept out, the skin is forced into an unhealthy state.
• Propylene Glycol (PG): As a "surfactant" or wetting agent and solvent, this ingredient is actually the active component in antifreeze. There is no difference between the PG used in industry and the PG used in personal care products. It is used in industry to break down protein and cellular structure (what the skin is made of) yet is found in most forms of make-up, hair products, lotions, after shave- deodorants, mouthwashes and toothpaste. It is also used in food processing.
Learn how to avoid these and other potent skin irritants by reading the Consumers Dictionary Of Cosmetic Ingredients by Ruth Winter.
You wouldn't eat something without knowing what it was–don't you want to take the same care with what you put on your face, hair, and body? Find out what's in that shampoo, makeup, toothpaste, lotion, or perfume here, with more than 6,000 entries, organized alphabetically. Cosmetics are barely regulated these days, leaving it up to you to learn what those strange-sounding names mean and how they might affect you.
Before we discuss the topic of the proper soaps and shampoos, I feel it necessary to advise you on the quality of the water that's coming from your showerhead and bath faucet.
In my opinion, a shower/bath filter that filters out chlorine and other contaminants is an absolute necessity because:
Chlorine makes your skin dry and brittle. Chlorine reacts with the proteins in the skin, causing cells not to adhere as well to each other. As a result, the skin becomes a less effective barrier, and dead cells visibly flake off, resulting in what is commonly known as "dry skin". Click here to learn more on the connection between chlorine and dry skin problems.

Subject: Pentagon Focus
Most of this portion of the covverage on ABC News focused on the Pentagon attack. Peter Jennings was able to establish contact with ABC's Pentagon correspondent.
As a side-note, I do not believe there is a more intense piece of video footage regarding the US Military which is more profound in our nation's history than images of the Pentagon burning out-of-control. Yet another unprecedented view on an unprecedented day.

2013 Year-End Tax Planning: Personal Tax Considerations
As January 1, 2014 gets closer, year-end tax planning considerations should be starting to take shape. New tax legislation has brought greater certainty to year-end planning, but has also created new challenges. The number of changes made to the Tax Code and the opportunities these changes bring may seem overwhelming. However, early planning will help you to maximize your potential tax savings and minimize your tax liability.
2013 Year-End Tax Planning: Businesses Tax Considerations
This year end provides unique opportunities for virtually every business to reassess their business plan with an eye toward maximizing tax savings for the 2013 tax year and forward, for 2014 and beyond. This year, shareholders and other business owners face a new landscape of tax rates for "higher income" individuals in the form of a 39.6 percent income tax rate, a 20 percent maximum tax rate on capital gains and dividends, a 3.8 percent net investment income tax, and a 0.9 percent Medicare compensation surtax for the first time in 2013.
Optional Standard Mileage Rates For 2013
Businesses generally can deduct the entire cost of operating a vehicle for business purposes. Alternatively, they can use the business standard mileage rate, subject to some exceptions. The deduction is calculated by multiplying the standard mileage rate by the number of business miles traveled. Self-employed individuals also may use the standard rate, as can employees whose employers do not reimburse, or only partially reimburse, them for business miles driven.

#PROAGING: Technology Can Encourage Socialization & Longevity
Perhaps the greatest gift of life is the ability to share many its aspects with others. We have communication skills and empathies that can enliven mundane tasks and reinforce the greater joys and tragedies of the human experience. As social beings, we seek out these shared experiences from our earliest infancy to our later golden years. For many aging citizens, though, physical limitations and technological impositions can reduce opportunities for socialization, which in turn has been shown to decrease both life quality and life expectancy.
Most aging Americans want to live in their own homes as they age, but that desire also increases the likelihood of growing isolation and falling life quality. How might recent technological innovations keep seniors connected to their peers and their younger family members?

#PROAGING: Majority Of Senior Citizens Online & Many More Using E-Readers
The fine folks at the Pew Internet and American Life Project marked a notable milestone in the history of electronic communications this past spring: "53% of American adults ages 65 and older use the internet or email. Though these adults are still less likely than all other age groups to use the internet, the latest data represent the first time that half of seniors are going online." The crossing of the 50% mark means marketers and fundraisers really need to develop strategies to reach our retirees and senior citizens online. The percentages will only increase, of course, as ever more people who used the internet for work and/or play, and then those who grew up knowing few other means of communication, move toward 65. What else does the latest Pew report show us about Boomers and the internet?

#PROAGING: Republican Budget Realigns Medicare But Ignores Long-Term Care
The macro-economics of aging over the next 40 years do not look great: the first Baby Boomers reached the age of Social-Security eligibility 15 months ago, but the crest of this so-called 'Silver Tsunami' will not come until about 2030. It will not recede for another couple of decades. The issue is not the number of people so much as the economy's ability/preparation to deal with the number. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, "The baseline 2010 Retirement Readiness Rating™ finds that nearly one-half (47.2 percent) of the oldest cohort (Early Baby Boomers) are simulated to be "at risk" of not having sufficient retirement resources to pay for "basic" retirement expenditures and uninsured health care costs. The percentage "at risk" drops for the Late Boomers (to 43.7 percent) but then increases slightly for Generation Xers to 44.5 percent."
The combination of retiring Boomers with lengthening life expectancies with a general political trend to cut taxes for all while reducing services only to the poor has meant that the costs of long-term care are growing, while the will to adjust expectations or fund federal programs is shrinking. The FY2013 budget proposed by Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) earlier this month has not much quelled fears of how Medicare will deal with the spread between long-living retired Boomers and the costs they will impose on an already stressed healthcare 'system'.

#PROAGING: Technology Improves Exercise of Body And Brain
Last week we introduced an AARP report encouraging the development of 'Technology for All,' namely, technology that includes the interests, expectations, and needs of Baby Boomers. Here is an example of how technology makes a common exercise machine that much more interesting and beneficial: a computer screen offering a virtual tour for a stationary biker.
Hans Villarica of TheAtlantic.com presented a report found in The American Journal of Preventative Medicine that brings computer screens and visual stimuli to recumbent bikers in elder-care homes. The experiment was to encourage exercise among residents on incumbent bikes – some used bikes with screens that monitored their effort and presented a 'tour' while others simply rode the bikes for the same amount of time.

#PROAGING: AARP Explores Benefits & Challenges of 'Technology For All'
With much fanfare, the first babyboomers moved into the official era of retirement last year as they celebrated 65 years of life. They were the first ripples of a 'Silver Tsunami' of Boomer retirees who will bring changes to entertainment, to Social Security, medical services, to retirement life. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) released a report calling on entrepreneurs, developers, and service providers to take on the challenges of bringing the myriad technologies (some of which were built by the Boomers) to everyone – including those over 50 who want to use those technologies but might need them modified. Is your organization developing its strategy for the near future?

#SocialNetworks: Senior Living Communities See ROI On Social Media
Outreach to older Americans through social media might have once seemed a bit like trying to create an oasis in a desert: a great deal of effort lost in the sand. But survey after survey has demonstrated how use of social media has become an important part of the lives of millions of seniors. Which means numerous businesses that target seniors and their families have begun to develop strategies to reach out to those ever-growing constituencies and markets.
The folks at Glynn Devins Marketing have shared a keynote address that traces a case study they did with a local (Kansas) retirement community demonstrating the success of a drive on Facebook to increase 'Likes' and to offer donations as ever more people share their contact with that retirement community.

#ProAging: Celebrating The Senior Games As Winter Approaches
Doctors, teachers, and athletes encourage us all to get more exercise. For many of us, our springtime means the energy to start a program to get fit and overcome the initial discomforts. As we enter our summer months, the foundation of better health has been set, and we begin to push some of our boundaries. The shortening days of fall might dissuade some of us, but the weather remains warm enough to keep us moving. Besides, winter could prove a notable setback, so we better give an extra push now.
But what about the seasons of our lives? Are we building a solid foundation in our earlier decades to encourage an active and engaged senior life? Many seniors are even competing in an Olympic-style festival that can inspire us all.

#ProAging: SM Savvy Encourages Cross-Generational Connection
With Thanksgiving a mere 36+ hours away (30 of which might be spent in a ticket line or sitting on a runway or hoping the traffic finally gets moving), we are all thinking about re-connecting to family and old friends. That we do so via social networking platforms has become the assumption among the Millennials and the Gen-Xers, whether in the holiday season or not. The social networking demands of these generations encourage them to keep up with the latest technologies as well – not a bad thing for the economy.
What happens to the previous-generation phones and laptops as younger Americans buy the latest-and-greatest? One thing that happens to them is they become 'hand-me-ups'.

#ProAging: AARP Busts Some Social Security Myths
As we enter 'crazy time' in the electoral calendar (a calendar that now runs from the Friday after the last election to the day of the next one), we will hear ever more about the desperate need to balance the federal budget and pay down the national debt. Few will strongly argue against these budget-balancing ambitions. The arguments are over just how to do that.
Social Security payouts make up some 20% of the federal budget, tied with national defense and one percentage point behind Medicare/Medicaid. Yet Social Security is usually singled out as one of the three federal line items that must be trimmed (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and … um … oops.). The American Association of Retired Persons challenges five of the most commonly-stated myths about the state of Social Security, even in the midst of the economic malaise we continue to struggle with.
Myth Number One? Not surprisingly: Social Security is going bankrupt. According to AARP, that scary claim is untrue no matter how you divvy up the dollars. "Even in the unlikely event that nothing changes and the program's entire surplus runs out in 2036, as projected, checks would keep coming. Payroll taxes at current rates would cover 77 percent of all the future benefits promised. That's true for young and old alike, and includes inflation adjustments."
Read the other four myths and the facts that refute them at AARP's site. Then you can make an informed decision about how to vote in 2012, and how to plan for your retirement after that.

#ProAging: Bringing Ballots To Nursing Homes Via The iPad
When the people of Oregon needed to replace Congressional Representative David Wu this week, the state Board of Elections used the opportunity to develop means to get ballots to older citizens in nursing homes. The traditional means to do so were to send absentee ballots out, but such ballots waste a great deal of payer, any way – and many do not get returned anyway. As we have noted on this blog, the iPad is a convenient and stimulative way for retired Americans to access information. And now it is being used as a way for retired Boomers and those of the GI Generation to cast their votes.

#ProAging: Mandated Cuts In Medicare Stifle Expansion Plans
This past October 1st, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) put into effect new regulations concerning the payment or reimbursement of services to skilled nursing facilities and certain types of housing for older Americans. The reductions in payments were targeted at 3-4%. As the regulations were being finalized late this summer, we posted reactions from many facilities saying they would have to cut staff and/or services to comply with the ruling.
How are the cuts now playing out in the planning of elder care in America?

#ProAging: Which US Cities Offer The Best Lifestyle To Their Older Citizens?
Dave Letterman offers only a "Top 10″ list, but Bankers Life and Casualty has just published its Top 50 "Best US Cities For Seniors 2011″ and the list contains a few surprises – though, admittedly, not so many laughs.
The list was drawn up with an effort to establish some stable criteria that were, in turn, weighted to reflect the importance of each issue with older Americans. For example, healthcare opportunities are weighted to 10 at the top of the scale, whereas housing was weighted at 5, because many kinds of housing arrangements can be made for many kinds of seniors, whereas healthcare is a priority for all older people.
The good side about a weighted standard is that readers can judge for themselves if a certain concern outweighs other issues. For example, the city noted as having the lowest crime and the safest urban environment for seniors is Nassau-Suffolk County, New York (Long Island), yet the area did not quite crack the top 10. But if security/low crime is most important for you, you now know where to retire.

#ProAging: Telestroke/Telemedicine Tests Show Excellent Cost & Health Benefits
In a wonderful synthesis of health care needs, patient choice, cost effectiveness, and beneficial outcomes, a recent report from The Mayo Clinic's 'Telestroke' program demonstrates the payoff of the pilot program. Telestroke provides the communications means for rural doctors and hospitals to have online connections with neurological and brain specialists in urban research hospitals. The technology saves vital minutes (if not critical hours) by bringing the specialist virtually to the on-side doctor and patient, rather than trying to move the patient to the requisite hospital.
The technology involves more than simple network communication for referral or consultation. According to the Mayo Clinic's site, "Doctors communicate using digital video cameras, Internet telecommunications, robots, smart phones and other technology. Having a prompt neurological evaluation increases the possibility that you may receive clot-dissolving therapies (thrombolytics) or other clot-retrieving treatments in time to reduce disability resulting from stroke."
And the first tests offer the statistics of success.

#ProAging: Social Security Recipients Enjoy COLA For First Time In Two Years
Social Security has built into its law and budgets a 'Cost of Living Adjustment' (COLA) tied to inflation and/or rising prices. Those prices have, if anything, fallen during The Great Recession, so recipients have not seen a COLA since 2009. But the Social Security Administration published its formula this week to account for a 3.6% increase for most people who receive their checks, beginning in January 2012.
The adjustment can not come soon enough for many seniors. As reported in The Associated Press, though inflation did not move over the last two or three years, incomes that retirees depended upon to supplement their Social Security benefits collapsed over those same years. What does the equation come out to for seniors?

#ProAging: Medicare's Open Enrollment Opens – Save Elders From Poverty
Medicare's open enrollment for next year begins on October 15th and runs through December 7th (an unfortunate date in the lives of many of the GI Generation). Information on Medicare's medical plans can be found here. General information for those new to the process can be found here. Medicare was founded in 1965 in an effort to buttress the insurance that most Americans lost at 65 or at retirement. It was meant as another strand of a safety net first weaved with the passage of the Social Security Act in 1935, also meant to help the elderly avoid falling destitute.
Although Governor/Presidential Candidate Rick Perry (Rep., TX) stands by his assertion that such support as Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme, it has helped – unlike Ponzi schemes – millions of older and retired Americans avoid poverty. A new Census study clearly demonstrates just how successful the programs have been.

#ProAging: iPad Technology Can Draw Out Memories And Skills For Elderly
One stereotype of the elderly and long retired is that they fear new technology. Yet many of the GI Generation and Silent Generation were, in fact, the ones who started the phenomenal research and development in the middle of the twentieth century that give us our hybrid cars and smart phones today. A recent report from the McClatchy-Tribune Information Services demonstrates how the caregivers of these generations are discovering how quickly and happily their clients and patients are responding to the latest mobile technology, the iPad.

#ProAging: Study Shows Americans Optimistic and Unprepared For Retirement (Part 1 of 2)
Over the last few days, National Public Radio (NPR) has been presenting the findings of an in-depth survey and study of how recent retirees and soon-to-be retirees (those over 50) view retirement. The report was conducted by NPR, the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health.
The findings show a general optimism about retirement, though that general optimism is dampened by the credit crisis of the last three years. Yet that optimism is strongest among those who have not yet actually retired. Among the retirees themselves, optimism has been checked by the harsh realities of decimated IRAs, a credit crunch, and unexpected health issues.
What seems to be the state of retirement in the new millennium? The issue may be not that the state of retirement is so bad, but that expectations are strikingly high.

#ProAging: Small Ailments, Left Unchecked, Can Lead To Big Concerns
Most (post-)industrial western societies tend to see aging as a decline from the creativity and energy of young adulthood. The experiences and wisdom of longer life tend to be downplayed against the physical changes wrought by age. But older people tend to know better: they want the young to appreciate that the teens and early twenties are the difficult years, whereas the engaged peace of being over 50 is really where the action is.
That said, those moving beyond 50 can not – and do not – deny changes in the body that must be dealt with: quicker fatigue, joint and tooth aches, changes in eyesight and/or hearing… The AARP's website is reporting a new study at Neurology.org that links the ongoing and unresolved physical discomforts help increase the likelihood of the onset of dementia as well.

#Aging: Nielsen's Latest Survey Of Social-Media Use Shows Continued Expansion Among Those Over 55
It may not be news to any of us that the use of social media continues to grow. Nor is the fact that mobile acces to social media via cell phones and tablets grows faster still. What the Nielsen survey for the third quarter of 2011 demonstrates, though, is that the most interesting statistics of growth lie under the gross percentages of use. For example, more than twice as many people over 55 visited their social-media networks via a mobile phone this year than they did in 2010. Which means, in part, businesses, services, and philanthropic outreach must take into account that one of their larger markets is growing as mobile and connected as their Millennial counterparts.

#Aging: We May Have To/Want To Work Longer. Will We Live Longer?
For many, the Stock Market Crash of 2008 wiped out most of their retirement savings. For some, working longer past the traditional retirement age is a key to ongoing engagement, community involvement, and mental health. For most, working beyond 65 (or whatever the retirement age is in your country) is an economic expectation, for better and/or worse.
Nevertheless, older people continuing in the work force provides at least two striking challenges to the larger economy, which already faces a number of challenges in this Great Realignment.

#Aging: Social Networks Bring The World To Seniors
The phenomenal growth of social network sites over the last decade or so is beyond repute. But for most of those years the growth came from those of Generation X (late 20s through 40s) and Millennials (born after about 1975) – both of whose members helped build as well as use the technologies of the internet, mobile devices and social networks.
But in recent years, the biggest movers in terms of usage are from the so-called 'GI-Generation' – those over 73. According to a recent report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project,
The fastest rate of growth was seen among the oldest generation of internet users, as the percentage of adults age 74 and older who use social network sites quadrupled from 4% in December 2008 to 16% in May 2010. Use of these services for all online adults in this time period increased from 35% to 61% over that same time period. (p.16; the entire report can be read here.)
What are they doing with their online time?

#Philanthropy: As Steve Jobs The CEO Retires, Will Steve Jobs The Philanthropist Step Forward?
The Carnegies, the Mellons, the Rockafellers, the Buffetts… They all made scads of money in their chosen careers. They all founded foundations and gave away scads of money in their later years. Nowadays, Carnegie (to pick one example) is probably better known for his libraries and university endowments than he is for how he made his money (steel manufacturing and union busting).
In our modern media world, wealthy philanthropists can't get a break: they get criticized for how much they give, or how often, or to whom, or how long it took them to get around to giving. Bill Gates may be beloved now for the work he and his wife Melinda do through their foundation, but for most of the 1990s-2000s he was lambasted as a nerdy capitalist who famously argued that spam would come to an end by 2007.
What makes Steve Jobs different is that he in the same league as these wildly successful entrepreneurs and CEOs, but he seems to have gone out of his way not to give anything away via his company, Apple Inc., or any foundation he has attached himself to.
Will that change now that health concerns have spurred him to retire as CEO of Apple?

#Aging: Advancements In Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Can Lead To Advancements In Treatment
Dr. Kejal Kantarci, a radiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and her team of chemists and brain surgeons have recently published findings of their work that might be the clue to screening those likely to develop some form of dementia – as much as twenty years before visible signs appear.
The report came out this week in the e-journal Neurology.org, and can only be accessed through a subscription. Truth be told, such an article would be well beyond the understanding of this blogger, and perhaps some of our readers.
Fortunately, Dr. Kantarci has been discussing her team's findings with numerous outlets, including HealthDay.com.

#Aging: GE & Intel Combine Forces To Improve Independent Living For Seniors
Thought GE & Intel announced in 2009 a partnership to develop technologies for retiring Baby Boomers to enhance their independence, they announced the finalized plans for the organization this week. According to a GE press release, the final legal steps are being taken to create the joint venture by the end of this year. The symbiotic opportunities of these two high-tech companies is stressed by the announcement: "GE and Intel share a common vision to use technology to bring more effective healthcare into millions of homes and to improve the lives of seniors and people with chronic conditions. With the dramatic increase of people living with chronic conditions, and a global aging population, there is a need to find new models of healthcare delivery and extend care to the home and other residential settings."
What are some of the technological avenues that the new "Care Innovations" company will be developing?
