text: Having escaped the threat of persecution in Russia, Countess Sofia Belinskya is working as a taxi dancer in a seedy Shanghai bar to support her family of White Emigres, including her daughter Katya, her mother-in-law Olga, her sister-in-law Grushenka, and an aunt and uncle by marriage, Princess Vera and Prince Peter. Despite the fact employment is scarce and her meager income is the family's only source of revenue, Sofia's once-aristocratic relatives scorn her for her choice of profession and insist she keep it a secret from her child. Sofia eventually meets Todd Jackson, a former official of the U.S. State Department who recently lost his wife and children in separate terrorist bombings. The bombing that killed his child has also left him blind. Using his substantial winnings from a well-placed bet at the racetrack, he plans to open an elegant nightclub catering to the cosmopolitan upper class and invites her to work for him as his primary hostess, an offer she accepts, and in honor of her he christens his enterprise "The White Countess." As time passes, the two begin to fall in love, but neither will act on their feelings until the political climate around them slowly disintegrates, leading to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War and a mass exodus from the besieged city.

5 Cars That Defined the Woodieand the 5 Worst Woodies Ever Made
Once the mark of quality craftsmanship, wood paneling on cars became a phony vinyl travesty in the 70s and 80s. We remember the glory days of the woodieand the ignominious era of faux wood.
By Rex Roy
The Worst: Ford Escort GLX Wagon
Attempting to recall big wagon charm in a smaller package, the front-wheel-drive Escort carried vinyl wood trim in the Squire package. The Escort was the last Ford woodie offered as an RPO (regular production option). It was in production from 1981 to 1985.

Broncos broadcaster eats humble pie served by Tom and Curleyon February 3, 2014 @ 12:34 pm (Updated: 12:50 pm - 2/3/14 )
"They move the ball okay but they haven't been able to produce points like they did early in the year," Darren McKee from 104.3 The Fan in Denver said Friday on Behind Enemy Lines.
McKee disputed Tom's contention the Seahawks offense wouldn't need to put a bunch of points on the board because the Seattle defense is so dominant.
"A team that scores 38 points a game?!" asked an incredulous McKee. "A team that is the number one team in red zone scoring touchdowns. A team that has the most touchdowns period. A team that has five guys in double digits for touchdowns is only going to score two touchdowns and two field goals?"
He ultimately predicted a 34-19 Broncos beatdown of the Seahawks. "We're already planning the parade in Denver," he said.
Needless to say, McKee is eating a lot of crow Monday and Seattle is planning the parade.
The cocky commenter was a lot more humble, but showed some modicum of class when he re-joined Tom and Curley Monday morning.
"At least I don't have to walk into a Starbucks in Seattle to get harassed by the people of that fine city," he laughed.
But he admitted he was "obviously, completely wrong."
"It was an incredible performance by your Seahawks and they were just flat out the better team," he said.
McKee blamed Peyton Manning for the opening snap safety that gave the Seahawks a 2-0 lead on the first play of the game, and said he was stunned by what followed given the way the Broncos play all season long.
"I had never seen anything like it. I've never seen Peyton Manning play as bad as he did."
McKee had predicted the Broncos would score at least 27 points. He was just slightly off.
Tom and Curley reveled in rubbing the Seahawks domination in his face.
"McKee, you mocked us unmercifully!" Curley laughed.
"We knew the Broncos offense was arguably the best offense of all time, but weren't clear how good Seattle's defense was," he said.
After overlooking the Seahawks last week, McKee said he now considers their defense among the best ever.
"It's like they were shell shocked because of the size and speed and ferocity of the Seattle defense was like nothing they had faced. It's a very impressive group."
And he said after watching Seattle dismantle the Broncos, he thinks the Seahawks would beat Denver 7 out of 10 times.
"I think they're just flat out a better team."
It's tough to spit that out with a mouthful of humble pie, but you have to give the guy credit for being willing to come back on the show and admit just how wrong he was. And for those who wished him ill will after his Broncos prediction last weekend, he's getting an extra dose of payback. His flight out of snowy New Jersey was delayed, and he's stuck in St. Louis for the day to lick his wounds.

From the North Dakota Game and Fish Department
-- Harvest statistics released by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department show overall hunter success during the 2009 season for bighorn sheep was 100 percent, 90 percent for moose and 42 percent for elk.
Three bighorn sheep units were open in 2009. One license was issued in units B1 and B3, and two licenses were issued in unit B4. One additional auction license holder was able to hunt any open area. All five hunters tagged adult rams.
The department issued 147 moose licenses last year. Of that total, 133 hunters were successful, harvesting 83 bulls and 50 cows/calves.

Executive Director's Report
Where are they? Which way did they go? I must find them; I am their leader!Ever had the feeling of not being sure if your employees are following you; or chasing you?! Then you have a clear understanding of how your new Bar Executive Director feels right about now. No amount of experience, age, training or insight can prepare one for those first few days, weeks, and months in a new job. While the Bar President, the Executive Committee, the Board of Commissioners, and certainly your dynamic Staff have all been most helpful and patient with me, I alone can appreciate the dizzying whirlwind within which I now find myself. Experience has taught that all will become clear in due time, so I take solace in the knowledge that if it has been done before, it can be done again.On that rather murky note, let me say greetings and salutations to you all! I want each and every one of you to know how honored and proud I am to represent you and the Wyoming State Bar. As you may or may not know, I have had around thirty years of experience representing Wyoming in one capacity or another. Nothing pleases me more than to take the "Wyoming way" throughout the state and nation. As I have often noted, it is not possible to just "live in Wyoming; after a while, Wyoming lives in you." That is certainly true in my case, and I suspect (actually know) that it is true with most if not all of you. My very first week on the job, I had the good fortune to attend the annual Board of Commissioners Strategic Planning Retreat at the historic TA Ranch in Johnson County (great job, huh!). After having attended several retreats there previously, I was warmly welcomed by the Madsen's like a long lost relative, and I can happily report that they have not lost their touch as exceptional western hosts (particularly at meal time). But even more fulfilling, were the resulting goals and objectives agreed upon by your Officers and Commissioners. My staff and I are truly energized by the direction and insights provided, and from personal observation and belief, I feel that you too will be most satisfied with the "service-driven" philosophy espoused by the Officers and Commissioners. Several new initiatives and products are now under consideration and being investigated as a result of the most recent Bar Survey, and you should rest assured that the Officers, Commissioners and Staff hear you and are proceeding diligently to meet your needs and expectations.Philosophically speaking, I am most interested in showing the "kinder/gentler" side of members of the Bar. In future editions, I will seek your support in "ratting out" your colleagues and associates so that we might ensure that their friends, co-workers, and entire communities and state become aware of the tremendous service and "random acts of kindness" rendered by members of the legal community on their behalf. Likewise, while I have you as my captive audience, let me extend a personal and sincere invitation to each of you to please stop in and say hello and share your thoughts, impressions, concerns or just a cup of coffee when in Cheyenne or the local area. You are always welcome, and since it is nearly impossible for me to visit each of you personally, it would surely make my job easier and increase my efficiency by meeting all of you "up close and personal."Copyright © 2007 – Wyoming State Bar

If Puerta del Sol is the heart of modern Madrid, then a few minutes' walk away, Plaza Mayor is the heart of the city's history. Reminding us of the grand squares of Venice, only with no water in sight here, the square was built in the early part of the 17th century and is still remarkably intact on all four sides. Our eyes, like many visitors I'm sure, went straight to the right of the square from the spot we entered, as we spotted the elaborate paintings on the Casa de la Panderia. They are extremely intricate and not something we expected to see, having seen this sort of design more in the border areas between Germany and Switzerland on one of our earlier road trips.
Public squares are a huge part of the visitor draw in Madrid. Other popular ones well worth visiting are the Plaza del Oriente, which is home to the imposing Teatro Real at one end and overlooked by the Palacio Real at the other. It's reminiscent of a fine French square, complete with marble statues along one side, which wouldn't look out of place at the famous French palace of Versailles. From here, the next major square is Plaza de Espana, which has statues of Spain's favorite author Cervantes and his most famous creation, Don Quixote, overlooking the water feature here. It's surrounded by high rise buildings, but all with their own characters. One even has trees decorating its upper levels!
Perhaps the biggest attraction in Madrid, outside of the art museums, is the Royal Palace or Palacio Real, which I'll look at in detail in a future PassPorter news article. It's an extremely lavish palace and it's just a great shame that it's no longer actually home to the Royal family, although it is still used for sumptuous state occasions.
Opposite the palace is the Catedral de la Almudena, which was a late-comer to the city's skyline, but an impressive one all the same. Unlike the vast majority of churches, this was only started in 1879 and wasn't actually finished until the late 20th century. It's almost impossible to believe, but Spain's capital city didn't get its own cathedral until 1993, when it was opened by Pope Jean Paul II. As such, it's well worth heading inside, as the interior is very different from the classic design of churches around the world. Instead, it's a lot more understated and has a decidedly modern feel to it.
There's certainly a great deal to see and do in Madrid and our visit didn't disappoint. It's a beautiful city, with lovely squares almost around every corner and some wonderful architecture. While Barcelona may be better known and it certainly attracts the crowds, we were pleasantly surprised to find Madrid a city that wasn't inundated with visitors. It makes for a very nice change and we're certainly not ruling out a return visit back to Spain's capital city.

Who am I? A Simple Question?
Have you ever in your entire life asked yourself this question ? Was your answer, Bob Smith ? I just meant your full name, your first name followed by your last name. My last name changed when I got married. My first name has a nice meaning but is widely mispronounced and misspelled since my childhood. The point I am trying to make here is, I am not what I am addressed as. My name belongs to me. It is not "me".


text: Trollope's brisk novel features siblings David and Nathalie, born to different women and adopted as children by an infertile British couple. As adults, they track down their biological parents -- with predictably disruptive effects. Trollope dutifully explores the trendy subject from every possible angle: We get the icy hauteur of David's birth mother, who feels no bond with the child she abandoned decades ago, and we get the petulant anger of her ''legitimate'' son, who resents her secret past. Nathalie's husband, feeling excluded from her quest, begins an affair, while David's marriage grows stronger. In fact, we're offered a few too many perspectives. At times, this cool, smart book reads more like a sociological survey than a messy, particular, and personal work of fiction.

Definitions for icarusˈɪk ər əs
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word icarus
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Ic•a•rusˈɪk ər əs(n.)
a youth of Greek myth, the son of Daedalus, who, attempting to escape from Crete with his father on wings of wax and feathers, flew so close to the sun that his wings melted and he plunged to his death in the sea.
Category: Mythology
Princeton's WordNet
(Greek mythology) son of Daedalus; while escaping from Crete with his father (using the wings Daedalus had made) he flew too close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell into the Aegean and drowned
In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus. The main story told about Icarus is his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. He ignored instructions not to fly too close to the sun, and the melting wax caused him to fall into the sea where he drowned. The myth shares thematic similarities with that of Phaëton—both are usually taken as tragic examples of hubris or failed ambition—and is often depicted in art. Today, the Hellenic Air Force Academy is named after Icarus, who is seen as the mythical pioneer in Greece's attempt to conquer the skies. Icarus's father Daedalus, a talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull. Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos' daughter, Ariadne, a clew in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalus tried his wings first, but before taking off from the island, warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms, and so Icarus fell into the sea in the area which today bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
son of Dædalus (q. v.), who, flying with his father from Crete on wax-fastened wings, soared so high that the sun melted the wax and he dropped into the sea, giving name to that part of it.

Robots taking over: Ironhide, Twins and Megatron revealed
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 30th, 2009 at 6:54PM
As we get closer to the June 26th release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, we can expect that more and more bits will leak out regarding the various plot lines and, more importantly for Autoblog, the robots and their alt-mode vehicles. Such is the case today with new images and a few details regarding Ironhide, the Chevy Beat and Trax "Twins" and Megatron, who may or may not make a return appearance in the sequel. After looking at the pics, which are from the website for Activision's Transformers: The Game (it's since been taken down), we're a bit worried the Twins that we expect to... Read More

Porsche acquires Nardo high-speed test track
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 11th, 2012 at 5:57PM
If Porsche wants to test out a new vehicle at speed – and you can usually bet that at any given time Porsche will be testing a new vehicle at speed – it's got miles and miles of Autobahn at which to do it. Not enough? There's the Nürburgring and all of its myriad turns and changes in surface. It's also got its own facilities at Weissach at its disposal. But considering the quantity (and, for fans of the company's products, quality) of Porsche's vehicles, even that's not enough. So what's a sportscar manufacturer to do? Get a track in Italy, of course. And that's just what... Read More

text: I'm beginning to think my baby has a seizure disorder-constantly moving, kicking, flipping, hiccuping etc. all with no sleep/wake pattern since 14 weeks. I don't remember this kind of activity with my previous two pregnancies-my husband just thinks the last two stretched out my uterus enough for this one to make the most of the space. Makes it hard for me to sleep though. Hoping the activity slows down once he/she is bigger or I have a feeling I'll be wetting my pants every time my bladder gets pummeled. (Not serious about the seizure disorder-though both of my kids have had seizures-no true epilepsy that makes me think it's genetic or anything.)

Customer Ratings:
I have been using Differin 0.1% for years and can tolerate using adaplene everyday. So I decided to replace it with this product every day for a week. I just could not believe how much smoother, softer, radiant my skin is in just one week! Wrinkle and dark spot is fading. Now I really wonder if I should discontinue my differin or layer them on top? Obviously this is better than Differin and I would not hesitate to stick with this product for years to come.
I'm 18. Being an eighteen year old, you would think that I would be happy with how my skin is, but I'm not crazy about it. I started using this product through samples, which I bought three of (each lasting around a month of daily use) until I decided to take a leap and buy the full size. This product does everything. My face is clearer, smooth and even. My pores are shrinking by the day. This honestly is one of the best products I've ever bought. Try it, it's amazing!
After reading many positive reviews on this product, I decided to give it a try. I do suffer from acne, redness, hyper-pigmentation, and acne scars, and this product seemed like it could tackle a few of my concerns. After using a few times (every other night), I can definitely say that it has made the appearance of my skin look a lot smoother, clearer, and breakouts are at a minimum. I will repurchase after I'm done with my sample.
I was so excited when Paula's released this product and have been using for approx 3 months now. This stuff is comparable to prescription retin A at a smaller price tag whilst being far more tolerable. Follow the instructions to avoid adverse reactions such as dandruff like skin from overuse and there will be no issues. I apply every 3rd night alternating between 2% BHA, Resist Antioxidant treatments and follow with mousturizer. I wake up with glowing skin!
I got my first zit when I was nine, and have dealt with moderate acne since then. PC products helped, but I still wasn't satisfied with my skin. I have been using this for two months and my face is clear. CLEAR I SAY! Paula is my fairy godmother, and she has given me my magic fairy dust...in a pump dispenser. PLEASE never get rid of this product.
Surprisingly, I am able to use a pea sized amount of this spread all over my face once a day without any irritation. I even use it under my eyes with no visible redness and no flaking. I was concerned because I was not able to use PCs other retinol too close to my eyes without swelling and redness, that may be due to another ingredient though. I always follow with the Clear Skin Hydrator. I've just finished the trial size and I do believe that my wrinkles are fading!
This product is wonderful as most higher retinol concentrations are in a time release formulation. Perhaps adding hyaluronic acid or propanediol could deliver the product deeper to the skin? But other than that I would not touch this special formula! I only wish it had a daytime partner with SPF so I could use it 24/7. Results way exceeded my expectations!
I was using a retinol 0.9 for a year, but was still breaking out. I bought this 1.0 in hoping it might work better, but it hasn't yet (it's been over a month, maybe I have to wait longer?) I still break out, more so than I was before (no redness or dryness though). Sadly I'm at the point where I may have run out of options for treating my acne as I'm already using so many different PC products! Maybe it works better if your skin isn't as used to it? It wasn't as good as I was hoping.
Hello, and thank you for your comments - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team, who can help you with your concerns, and a possible exchange or refund.
I wanted to love this product but unfortunately my skin reacted badly. It is just to strong for my sensative skin. I followed the directions explicitly but alas I had to stop using it. I will stick with the Resist Retinol Serum which my skin loves and gives great results.
This retinol is a great product. Stronger and much better priced than previous brand I was using. I use this twice a day with no problems. It works great has already reduced fine lines and I've only used 1 bottle as of yet.
The key to not having flaking skin is a very good moisturizer.
I love this. I have very sensitive skin, so I was weary to use it. I started off slowly using it just once or twice a week for the first month. I now alternate it (use it M-W-F) and use the regular strength Resist Retinol (use T-T-S) and on Sunday I do a copper mask and then use only Argan oil for night treatment and moisturizer. This works perfect for me. I use it in conjunction with a couple other PC and Michael Todd True Organics. Just be sure to introduce slowly.
Not even kidding... THIS IS AMAZING. Hands down worth the money - as soon as I start to see a breakout forming, I put this on at night and I wake up the next morning and my skin looks 100% better. I can go on and on about this product because nothing else will ever come close to it. if your debating on whether to put this in your shopping cart or not... DO IT. you will not be disappointed.
I have used this line since my 20's and have relied on Paula's product suggestions for years. This is a home run - well done!
I am a PC fan for years and although I have a sensitive skin I can use without problems the AHA, BHA and retinol Resist line. I tried a pea sizes from this retinol treatment with my serum - just in case - and tipped it onto my face and cleavage... What a diseaster! The next morning I woke up with itchy red face and cleavage. Now 6 days later, my skin is still red and flaking! What is this? I couldn't try the sample size, it was not available then. I would like to have a refund of this one.
Hi, and thanks for sharing your experience - you can contact a member of our Customer Care team to learn more about a refund or exchange.
This has completely transformed my skin. I have had mild to moderate acne, blackheads and very oily skin since I was 13, now 24. I use the Skin Balancing Cleanser, Toner and Moisturizer (PM), BHA 2% Liquid, Resist Ultra Light SPF Moisturizer (AM) and recently the Super Light Antioxidant Serum. I added this at night and the results have been AMAZING! After less than a month of using this my acne is essentially gone, fewer black heads, baby soft skin and much more even skin tone. THANK YOU PAULA!
Let me just start by saying that this stuff is amazing. I have been struggling with severe breakouts on my chin and cheek area for about 2 yrs. I tried every Rx topical medication. Nothing seemed to work. After using this product for about 2 months and making lifestyle adjustments (no coffee!) I am now almost acne free. Recently I have seen a dramatic reduction in my hyper pigmentation after continuing to use this product and my skin is doing much better. Awesome!
For someone with sensitive skin, who has tried lots of products over the years, I'm surprised. My skin loves this. After a month of use (starting every 3rd day and now using every other day), I am starting to see the benefits described in Product Details above, and with very little flaking. I use Resist C15 & Skin Recovery Serum, with Barrier Repair Moisturizer in evening & Paula's SPF hand cream on face in the morning. 1% retinol has taken this regimen to the next level, no doubt about it.
This product is great for acne! I use this with Skin Perfecting 2% BHA, and this combination has worked very well for me! I used to use Retin-a, but this seems to work better for my skin. My acne is nearly gone, blackheads have improved significantly, and hyperpigmentation from previous breakouts has faded quite a lot. If your skin can tolerate this, I definitely recommend it! Just make sure you follow the directions!
I really wanted this to work for my aging skin.(53 yrs.) However, each time I've used it, my face breaks out and is really irritated. I'm so sad. I had such high hopes. I love Paula's products 99% of the time. I guess my skin is just too sensitive for this particular product. I used it exactly as directed and even tried using less than directed but to no avail, my skin was just too sensitive. :( However, if you have skin that isn't ridiculously sensitive and showing signs of aging...try it!
Love love love this product!!! I have only been using a couple of weeks and have noticed a huge difference in my skin. Smoother texture, smaller pres. It's fantastic! I will repurchase time and time again!
Initially I thought I was smarter than the PC Team and ignored the instructions with disastrous results. After healing I started again SLOWLY. I mixed a small amount of this with my PC moisturizer and gradually increased. I have an oily T zone and dry cheeks, enlarged pores and blackhead prone skin. All issues have improved significantly. I'm asked frequently what I use on my skin and I'm thrilled to turn others on to Paula's Choice! I request TSA sizes of everything so we can take when we fly.
Have been using this for a few weeks and am seeing a noticeable difference in skin tone and texture. I'm 52 and have been considering laser treatment for remaining dark spots. Started with the trial on a nightly basis on the main problem areas (less frequently over the whole face). Got a peel in some areas after a few days, which dissipated. The brown spots are lighter and smaller wrinkles are invisible. Spots from previous breakouts are gone. No new breakouts which is a bonus. A keeper!
I understand this is not a prescription strength retinol, however I was expecting to see some positive change, as I do with nearly all Paula's Choice products. My skin is young and almost wrinkle-free as it is, however it is combination-oily and I am breakout prone, so I thought this would be good (since retinols were originally used as acne treatment.)
I used this every other night for about a month, and I didn't see a change in my skin. I ended up giving it to my mom, who seems to enjoy it.
I recently purchased and tried the sample size of this product but developed some dry patches on my skin and decided not to continue using it. I commend Paula's Choice for offering this product in an inexpensive sample size especially as it is strong and won't be right for everyone.
This was not for me. I used a pea sized amount to start with this at just once per week. I did not apply around or near my eyes or lips. 1st two weeks, no problem. 3rd week, my eyes were swollen and the skin around them bright red & itchy. Rosacea flare up on my cheeks. I did have to see my doctor for a prescription to deal with all of this. She said it was an eczema flare up, something I have never had before.
This was so unexpected. I use the Resist products with retinol with no problem.
Hi, and thanks for letting us know of your experience - we're sorry to hear this didn't work for you! We encourage you to contact our customer service department, who might be able to provide you with an exchange or refund.

DIRECTIONS: Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing and toning, and then follow with your Paula's Choice serum and/or nighttime moisturizer. When first using the Clinical 1% Retinol, start with no more than three evenings per week, then gradually increase frequency to every other night and, finally, every evening as tolerated (measure how your skin responds). Avoid the lips, direct contact with the eye, and corners of the eyes. You may apply up to the orbital bone of the eye area.
May be applied at the same time as your AHA or BHA exfoliant, but pay attention to how your skin responds. If you notice signs of sensitivity, apply your AHA or BHA exfoliant in the morning and this treatment at night or reduce frequency of application of Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment.
Note: Some people may experience a delayed sensitized reaction to 1% retinol. Do not assume that if no reaction is seen after a few applications that you can apply this treatment more frequently. Pay close attention to how your skin responds and adjust usage accordingly.
If sensitization occurs (redness, flaking, tenderness, or drying of skin), reduce frequency of use or mix one pump of the Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with your favorite Paula's Choice serum or PM moisturizer. If sensitization persists, discontinue use. Protect skin daily with sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater, or layer sunscreens (moisturizer, foundation with sunscreen, and pressed powder with sunscreen) if they are all rated SPF 15 or greater (and greater is better).
Do not apply this treatment on the same day as facial waxing or sugaring. Doing so may increase the risk of an irritant response.

At what point in my skincare routine would I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
How does Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment differ from the other retinol products Paula's Choice offers?
Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment if I am using other Paula's Choice products that contain retinol?
Is Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Is Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment suitable for rosacea-affected skin?
Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment if I have oily skin and breakouts?
How does Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment compare to prescription retinoids?
Is it OK to use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with a product that contains hydroquinone, such as Resist Dark Spot Eraser?
Is it OK to use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with an anti-acne product that contains benzoyl peroxide?
Yes. For best results, apply the benzoyl peroxide product to breakout-prone areas, allow to dry, then follow with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment.
You may have read or heard that retinol and benzoyl peroxide cannot be used together for fear they will adversely affect each other's stability. However, what is often missing from these claims is any cited corroborative studies, and with good reason, because the scientific and medical research actually says the two ingredients can complement each other—which is good to know, whether you're dealing with acne alone or the unwelcome mix of wrinkles plus breakouts! (Cutis 2009 & 2012, Journal of Drugs and Dermatology 2013).
Are there any products I shouldn't combine with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
How soon will I see results?

Before you read any further, I should clarify that I didn't make this thread just to spout invective about my hatred of this show, because I don't have any. My objective is only to understand the appeal of it. I have tried to watch it several times before and found the premise ridiculous, the production cheesy and the writing terrible. What is it that makes this show so beloved by people?

You are happy and excited that you have found someone special. You are however confused on what date ideas to follow. The stereotypical dinner and movie idea will soon go with the wind. It is among the many good first date ideas…
However, it gets boring when it is all you can do. First dates are very tricky especially since you are still trying to impress each other. Remember to dress appropriately, for whichever date ideas you decide to choose. This is another day's discussion.
There are very many good first date ideas available from all sources. Your friends can help you choose a suitable one. Dates are different from each other. There are blind dates and dates with people you have already met. Before picking a certain idea, ensure you consider this factor. It will guide you through the available good first date ideas.
We have the type known as outdoor first date ideas. This group of good first date ideas is composed of a few other ideas. Taking a walk is a good first date idea. It creates a relaxed environment where you are easily able to hold conversations. It is simple and does not require setting up unlike the common dinner thing. It allows bonding between the two of you. The idea is to leave your date wanting more. This idea is interesting and different. It may even surprise your date, which is something good I think…Just enjoy each other's company.
Going to a movie is becoming worn out in the world of good first date ideas. However, this can change if you may have areas that offer outdoor movies like in drive-ins. This will be different and may actually earn you another date. You can create your own picnic. Picnics are classic good first date ideas. They give you some quality time together and you are able to hold your conversations without interruptions. It is simple and does not need you to use a lot of money. You can use take-out quick eats. There should be no fuss at all. Get to know a little more about each other.
Boating is also among the good first date ideas. You may pay for the service so that you are able to focus on each other. Enjoy your time together. You can have fun by paddling or playing in the water. Have some quality time. Make as much fun as you can. Make sure, when you are done for the day, each of you will be looking forward to another date. Find something that is simple, unique and fun. Join your date for some exercise. You can have an evening run together. It allows you to share how your day has been. You will bond more.
Not even mentioned the other groups of good first date ideas. We have so much to share from our website. Check out www.kamalifestyles.comyou will be amazed how simple yet intriguing these ideas are.

Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem by Jonathan Woods
Purchase at Indie Bound
or Amazon
or Barnes and Noble
Running a scam in a two-bit Caribbean republic, a tough-as-nails gun moll has to outrun both a murder rap and the local neo-Nazi commandant. A jealous archaeologist uses a Mayan stone dildo to bludgeon to death the chairman of the Archaeology Department. An accountant goes on a tropical vacation to a place where everything is falling apart, including his own sketchy soul. Seduced by an escaped psychopath named Dandelion, a frat boy has no choice but to commit murder. The nineteen opium dreams that make up Bad Juju provide the most outrageous, entertaining and over-the-top crime spree since Quentin Tarantino appeared on the scene.
Raves for Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem
"[With Bad Juju] Woods has arrived fully fledged as a maestro…astonishing."
—Ken Bruen, Shamus Award-winning author of The Guards and London Boulevard
"Bad Juju is the product of a truly twisted mind, and I mean that in the nicest way."
—Ben Fountain, 2007 PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara
"Quirky and disquieting, Bad Juju…leaves you marveling at the imagination of Jonathan Woods."
—Michael Connelly, Edgar Award-winning author of Nine Dragons and The Scarecrow
"These dark, often strange, eerily radiant stories add something special to the tradition of noir crime writing."
—Jay Parini, author of The Last Station and The Apprentice Lover
"Bad Juju is the wildest, funniest, scariest collection of stories I've read in a long while."
—Scott Phillips, author of The Ice Harvest and The Walkaway
"Bad Juju is by turns intense, lyrical, dark and disturbing. Jonathan Woods is an original."
—Dani Shapiro, author of Family History, Black & White and Devotion
"Evocative, imaginative, hot and neo-pulpy…"
—Allan Guthrie, author of Slammer, Hard Man and Savage Night
"[Bad Juju is] not for the faint-hearted. Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett would approve and be, I suspect, more than a little bit envious…"
—Ron Rash, PEN/Faulkner Award finalist author of Serena and One Foot in Eden
"[With Bad Juju] Jonathan Woods has laid down the gauntlet for gonzo noir in the 21st Century."
—Anthony Neil Smith, editor/publisher of plotswithguns.com and author of Hogdoggin'
"First-rate noir is meant to alarm and horrify decent men like myself, and certainly I was quite shocked by nearly everything I read in Bad Juju. Once I've recovered I plan to read the book again."
—Michael Dahlie, 2009 PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of A Gentleman's Guide to Gracious Living

|I was watching the documentary about Woody and the dust bowl era. the documenary show that the climate was considering very hostility back 1930 and people bravely managed to survive. As i was watching it, i can't stop myself thinking about the drought condition we are experiencing lately. If i am not mistake that we are currently on the fifth years of drought and i wonder what if the dust bowl revisting in these day ? what can we do? can modern and technology save the days? what do ya think?
Follow-Up Postings:
|My parents and Grandparents went through the dust bowl days of the "dirty 30's". I've heard many a story about how bad it was. Not sure why they stayed here in Kansas but they did and they survived. Things were simpler then. On the farm, everyone had a few chickens for meat and eggs, cows for beef and milk, not much demand for electricty, or gas or oil.
The gardens consisted of tough crops that didn't need a lot of water. My Grandfather said at one time he ate turnips so often he grew to hate them. He talked about the dust that darkened the sky, and the grasshoppers that ate nearly everything green.
Nowdays hopefully newer farming technics such as no-till and irrigation and pesticides will help insure at least a partial crop. Although I an not convinced it can't happen again.
Makes you wonder about Global Warming, or is this just another temporary glitch such as the 30's.
Temperature today in Salina, Kansas was 107, humidity was 25%, rainfal for july totals .75 inch.
|I saw the same PBS show. It was very good but left the impression that there was only one dust storm. Not the many there actually were.
Some of the new farming technics help but I have noticed where the trees are gone the wind is starting to pickup more dust. Many of the fence rows have been taken out so the bigger machinery can operate. Better for the farmer but nothing to stop the wind. My dad lived in Oklahoma during the 30's and felt the trees not only broke up the wind but provided moisture to the atmosphere.
He thought I would never see a dust storm unless I moved to the southwest. I can remember 2 in the past 15 years. The first I thought it was a severe thunderstrom and it took hours to arrive. My memory is fuzzy but I think it was in 1993. I started seeing a line of "clouds" about 8:30 when I drove to work. It finally arrived about 11:30. No where on the radio was any mention of the dust storm until later in the day. It didn't deposite much dust but I was very worried. The second one was mostly haze and if you didn't know what was happening you would think smog.
|i think modern technology can 'save the day' up to a point... but how can it save us, when we are doing far more to destroy ou environment and ourselves??
and as we have seen, ironically, modern technology seems to cause as many (or more) problems than it solves. if and when the earth starts heating up above 110-115-120 on a regular basis, we are going to be in serious trouble. might as well do what we can now in our own way, hope our politicians will start acknowledging the situation and doing something about it, and enjoy the life we have now because things might not be this way for much longer.
the thing is.. we are so modern and technologically advanced.. and yet WAY too dependent on farmers, industrial agriculture, petrochemicals, extensive transport systems, civil infastructure, our current supplies of water, and the temps staying relatively stable... to survive. most people don't even know how to grow or raise their own food anymore.. and certainly don't have the land to do it on. and even if you did,, what's the use of land if your crops can't get water and are burning up in the sun??
if everything scientists say is true, all the abrupt changes in these things are going to wreak havoc with civilization as we know it. so, we can either deny it, or accept the very likely possibilities and just do what you can to survive.
let's just say we are WAY overdue for the biggest natural "correction" the world has ever known!
- Posted by xericgardening 9 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 1, 06 at 16:42
|I just completed some studies of the process of "desertification." This is a process when there is too little fresh water for too many people. It's estimated that Texas alone is losing one percent per year of arable land due to drought, unavailability of water and other factors.
Very few of the major rivers of the world actually make it to the ocean today because of population increases and farming. It takes 1,000 tons of water to grow 1 ton of wheat. So, although farmers may be using new techniques to increase yields, water is still being lost.
Right now there is serious concern about the Oglala Aquifer. It is being drawn down at alarming rates.
It's not just farming. The largest users of water in this country are cities.
Today, neither the Colorado River nor the Rio Grande reach the sea. All their water is used up before it gets there.
It is a serious problem. Some hydrologists are predicting that if the U.S. continues to grow at its present rate, and we do not somehow curb our water use, we will not have enough fresh water to serve the population 50 years from now. That's not a third world country we're talking about. That's us.
Here is a link that might be useful: Desert Gardens
|wow... thanks for sharing that info. i am very alarmed about it all too.. but it seems most people are either still in denial or don't care about the issue. it appears to be human nature that no one wants to do anything about a problem until it's right on their doorstep... i guess it's just a hard-wired defense mechanism that has allowed us to survive. katrina was a very good example, ALL the scientific evidence pointed to what was very likely going to happen.. but most people just said. "well whatever, can't worry about it now".. but then when it DID happen it was disastrous and there was much wailing & gnashing of teeth,, people crying "why didn't they TELL US??" and mad at the govt for not warning them or taking care of them. but that's a whole 'nother story,, but just an example of how people in general don't like to plan ahead or think of the future. (then there is the extreme opposite where you have survivalists stockpiling canned gods in a bunker waiting for armageddon! lol)
but here is the #1 biggest problem that is SO taboo that NO one can talk about: OVERPOPULATION. it seems obvious to me that every single problem we are talking about in the world-- drought, global warming, pollution, stress, wars, species extinction, illegal immigration, famine, etc. etc. ec. etc. is caused by that one thing, that no one wants to talk about (not that these things can't exist without overpopulation-- obviously they do and they have in the past. but it definitely is exacerbating everything on a huge scale). because NO ONE wants to be told they shouldn't have as many offspring as they want, it's their natural-born right, after all! and if you bring up the issue with a 'third-world' nation, then you're just called a racist. the chinese govt has been the main one cracking down on it, and now it's been turned into a human rights issue there. and it would be unthinkable to even MENTION it in our good old USA, land of the free, where we can do whatever we want no matter what the cost, even if we have to pay the price. so, you just can't win.
the only solution i see is if WE can't control our numbers,, then nature is gonna have to do it for us-- and it seems that it will, and in a BIG way. but, it's not gonna be pretty.
btw, here in texas folks in cities are pretty oblivious to what's going on around us. out in the country people are freaking out because many of their wells have gone dry for the first time (or in a very long time). we love our beloved aquifers (even though we can't stop paving over them and building stupid walmarts and strip malls and such-- but hey! there's profits to be made!!).. and we can't bear the thought that they actually may be in the process of going dry. actually, most people probably don't care, thinking 'well, you can't see them, so how does it affect me? who cares? i've got my i-pod, let's go shopping!' but you better believe you would care if you can't eat or get any water-- you will care REAL quick, and nothing else will matter. that is, unless you can find your own water source that no one else knows about, and grow your own food! and how many people know how to do that nowadays, or have the land and means to do it? not many!

|Texas is one of the hardest hit areas in the U.S. Studies (by USDA) indicate that Texas is losing one percent of arable land per year, due to declining levels in aquifers.
I agree it's a very serious problem, one that we're going to have to face long before global warming (if that is even real) and any other thing. I say the next big war will be fought over water (or its corollary: food).
Here is a link that might be useful: Desert Gardens
|There is a strategy for addressing the problem. It's one of those neat and easy solutions that, if everybody just jumped aboard en masse, would solve that and many other problems tomorrow.
The problem is getting people to do it.
We all have to change our lawns into organic gardens. We have to rebuild our local food production infrastructure. We have to stop shipping millions of tons of water, in the form of fruits and vegetables, from country to country.
Organic agriculture uses way less water than industrial agriculture, and produces higher yields per acre, with less irrigation. Organic soils retain water far better than ploughed soil.
I could list dozens of positive aspects to such a movement, but your all gardeners, I think you already know most of them.

|It takes as much water to grow a cow as it does to float a battle ship. Not to mention the food crops that they eat. Meat truly is a luxury.
