I have been using this product for 5 years. It is the most wonderful,soothing moisturizer I have ever used. I mostly use it during the winter, when dryness and irritation is always a problem. Just warm a little in the palms of your hands, and gently press into your face and neck. Ahhh.....
Also acts as a soothing aromatherapy treatment.
- Skin Type:
- Dry
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The mighty works of God
Danny G. Hatfield Sr.
The question has often been asked; why do we not see the mighty works of God today?
There have been many excuses and reasons imposed by men that are void of understanding on this subject, but there is only one truth.
We do not see these works because we are not walking in obedience to God and we are not walking in the Spirit of God.
We desire the works of God to manifest, but we are not willing to make the sacrifice to make it happen.
If we want to see the works of God, we must obey God and walk in the Spirit of God.
We must abide in all things concerning God, not in those things we seem to pick and choose to suit ourselves.
We are the body of Christ and must function as the body of Christ.
As Jesus said, those things that he did, we shall do also and even greater works.
However, we will not see these works or do these works until we obey and serve God.
We must stop following the doctrines of men and follow after Christ.
We must stop seeking the approval of men and seek the approval of God!
A legitimate question many have asked, why does God not heal today?
The answer is simple; we do not allow God to heal.
God's healing is restricted by our own actions; by our own disobedience and by our own lack of belief and lack of faith.
Our faith is transitional; we have more confidence and faith in men than we have faith in God.
God operates in our faith and in our obedience to HIM, not at our demand.
We MUST UNDERSTAND we cannot walk in Holiness and walk in disobedience at the same time; if we do; we become lukewarm and become spewed vomit out of the mouth of the Lord.
When Jesus Christ came to us, he brought with him the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of heaven can, will or does abide in us through Jesus Christ and his shed blood.
If we are to abide in Jesus Christ we must walk in the Spirit; if we walk in the Spirit, we will also be obedient to God.
Understand, we cannot walk in the Spirit if we do not have the Spirit.
We must also remember in God there is no darkness at all.
If we desire to know God and to see the works of God, we must walk in the Spirit, abide in the light as he is in the light and abide in the kingdom of heaven.
"The kingdom of heaven is not meat or drink, but PEACE, JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Holy Ghost" (Romans 14:17).
If we are not walking in the Spirit, do not expect to see the mighty works God. God's works and gifts are spiritual and in order for them to manifest, we must walk in the Spirit and not after the flesh.
Today in our American society, we seek the things of this world, possessions and pleasures, before we seek God. We have put the cart before the horse and placed God second to this world. What is wrong with this picture? "Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Those things will be added at God's discretion according to his riches in glory and not our own.
The fruit of the Spirit is in this, obedience to God in all things. We must submit to God's word to include all men, women and children. We must abide in love, love for God and love for one another. Joy, the joy of the Lord is our strength. Peace, an inner peace that passes all understanding, when we have the inner peace of God we will have external peace with all mankind. Longsuffering, this is the patience of the saints. Gentleness and goodness, to do those things that are good in a temperate manner.
Faith, we must have faith in order to please God and to see the works of God. Meekness is humility and temperance is self control. We must have a servant's heart, not a desire to be served, but a desire to serve as did our King, Jesus; no servant is greater than his master.
Many today expect God to serve them by succumbing to their demands, as in money and possessions. They have failed to remember, we are the servants of God, and God is not the servant to humanity, understand, God is a father to those born of his Spirit. In all this we must abide, crucifying on the cross of Jesus Christ anything contrary to the Spirit of God.
To answer the question why do we not see the mighty works of God, start at the top of this page and read again. I will address the love of money and the covetous evil that pursues those that are blinded by greed at a later time.

G.K. Chesterton, the famed British journalist, author, apologist, and wit recently sat down (in the form of his books, as he was not physically available) with Ignatius Insight editor Carl E. Olson and discussed the best-selling novelist Dan Brown—whose new novel, The Lost Symbol, is released September 15—and the importance and place of good and bad fiction.
Ignatius Insight: I was somewhat surprised to learn that you haven't been entirely negative about Dan Brown's novels, including The Da Vinci Code.
Chesterton: My taste is for the sensational novel, the detective story, the story about death, robbery and secret societies; a taste which I share in common with the bulk at least of the male population of this world. There was a time in my own melodramatic boyhood when I became quite fastidious in this respect. I would look at the first chapter of any new novel as a final test of its merits. If there was a murdered man under the sofa in the first chapter, I read the story. If there was no murdered man under the sofa in the first chapter, I dismissed the story as tea-table twaddle, which it often really was. But on the whole I think that a tale about one man killing another man is more likely to have something in it than a tale in which, all the characters are talking trivialities without any of that instant and silent presence of death which is one of the strong spiritual bonds of all mankind. I still prefer the novel in which one person does another person to death to the novel in which all the persons are feebly (and vainly) trying to get the others to come to life. [1]
Ignatius Insight: Are you saying, then, that you believe something good can be found in Brown's novels?
Chesterton: Every now and then, after wading through a hubbub of hundreds of words, we find a word that seems to have gone right by accident. We must not complain; nothing in this mortal life is perfect; not even bad poetry. [2]
In one sense, at any rate, it is more valuable to read bad literature than good literature. Good literature may tell us the mind of one man; but bad literature may tell us the mind of many men. A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

magnetic alloy neodymium-iron-boron has been produced by co-deposition from a molten salt. A wide range of compounds—from electronic and photonic materials such as gallium arsenide and cadmium telluride to wear-resistant materials such as tungsten carbide to electron emitters such as Ianthanum hexaboride—have been deposited. Opportunities exist to develop new nonaqueous chemistries to extend the window of electrochemical potential and thereby give greater access to highly reactive materials.
Electrolysis is a nonequilibrium process that has the capability of generating nonequilibrium structures such as coatings, epitaxial layers, or powders. Compositionally modulated structures such as that illustrated in Figure 4.9 are readily produced electronically.
Electrodeposition is carried out at or near room temperature in aqueous and organic electrolytes, at elevated temperatures in molten salts, and at low temperatures in cryogenic liquids. Cryogenic electroprocessing offers a new window of opportunity in a temperature region in which kinetic processes occur at rates quite different from those that occur at room temperatures or elevated temperatures, providing new opportunities for achieving metastable structures.
Two important themes cut across all four of the elements of materials science and engineering. The first is the importance of instrumentation in performing and controlling synthesis and processing; characterizing structure, composition, and properties; and analyzing performance (see Appendix D). The second is the increasing importance of analysis and modeling (see Appendix E), which, together with increased computational abilities and judicious experimentation, are helping to make materials science and engineering increasingly quantitative.
The instrumentation used in materials science and engineering has become increasingly sophisticated and expensive. The cost of analytical instruments such as electron microscopes ranges from $50,000 to $850,000, and the cost of dedicated process equipment, such as MBE and ion implantation equipment, is in the range of $1 million to $2 million. Furthermore, these costs are rising rapidly, at well above the rate of inflation. With the increasing use of powerful computers to simulate the synthesis and processing, structure and composition, properties, and performance of materials, instrumentation has become important for theoretical as well as experimental materials research. Cost-effectiveness rules out having such facilities at every institution, making new sharing mechanisms a necessity.

Many base load gas liquefaction projects currently in planning are being hit by high upstream cost inflation, which has increased at unprecedented rates in the past two decades. Projects in Australia (e.g. Gorgon), Nigeria (e.g. OK LNG), Angola and Algeria (e.g. Gassi Touil) are all considering reconfigurations to deal with escalating budgets. They do not want to repeat the massive cost overrun experiences of Shell and partners at Sakhalin in Russia and Statoil and partners at Snohvit in Norway. Shell has also announced substantial cost escalation to its Qatargas 4 project, increasing its budget to $8 billion and its Pearl GTL project also in Qatar, increasing its budget above $14 billion.
Equatorial Guinea LNG, onstream in May 2007, delivering its first cargo some six months ahead of schedule, is a rare exception. The completion of this $1.5 billion project is a great boost to Marathon, the operator and 60% equity holder...

So those of you that know my situation.
I have 19 personal credit cards with 105,000 total credit line with 0 debt on any of them.
Credit score is 620 due to American express collection and Tmobile. (730 prior to collections)
I personally guarenteed an American express card and merchant account for a company which went under thus 100% of my filing BK 7 is due to business failure.
I am going to take everyones advice to close my credit card accounts prior to filing BK which is on May 10th. My question is when do I close them? Right now or May 1st?
So lets pertend I file on May 10th, when would an appripriate time to try to re app with any of my credit cards be. 1 the day after I file bk or when I am discharged?
thank you
It's always best to reapp after your discharge takes place.
that reply helps, thank you. Should I cancel all my credit cards now or May 1st. Anyone have any advice?
I would close them now. No need to keep them open if you are filing May 1st. Make sure they say "closed by consumer" and show a zero balance.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

we acted all nonchalant and wandered about the food court, gathering conveniently wrapped food items. after proceeding through the checkout, we leapt behind wall (by the microwave, milk dispensers, and cereal) and shoved a ton of fries, chicken nuggets, and cheese burgers into her bag. after laughing hysterically and putting our empty trays away, we dashed for the door and exited the building.
the perfect crime.
i would like to thank the government of the state of michigan for cutting funding to nmu to the point where the university can no longer afford to employ "food nazis" at every exit of the cafeterias.
after sitting around all morning and afternoon doing nothing, i am currently trapped in my superboring psych of gender lecture. oh boy. this class is such a waste of time. *sigh* it is basically like my psych of sex class from last semester, except... well, the professor is a different woman...
once i escape this hellhole i have to go right to the first-floor tv room for a meeting about the new smoking room being constructed on the third floor. i was hoping that it would be more of a "lounge", but the other day the door was open when they were working on it and it is basically a dorm room with a giant venting machine on the wall. there's like, no room for any furniture.
i also want some more cigarettes, so i have to walk to university mobil. yes, you read correctly, walk. that's because my crap car has some sort of grudge against me, and has decided not to start. speaking of, i read this hilarious article about "car shame" written by none other than the wonderful teresa strasser of "while you were out". many people don't know that, aside from being the deliciously witty host of season one, she is an accomplished writer and actress. alright, so "accomplished" may be a bit of an overstatement, but can any of you say that you hosted a dating show and wrote fashion commentaries for us weekly? i didn't think so.
alright, i'm tired of typing and my fingers hurt. anyhow, i think that this is quite the first real entry, don't you?

|Wickedly off first impressions. I must admit that the first time we went to Rockwood, we were less than impressed. They were closed for the winter and had a huge no trespassing sign. We poked around a little bit but since we were having no luck finding anything interesting, we decided it would be better to go somewhere else. That being said, we had the most amazing time this weekend in Rockwood. Neither one of us wanted to leave. We both vowed to come back as soon as we can to finish exploring all there is to do here.
When we first arrived, I was sure the park would be overly done up with crazy amenities and pseudo outdoorsy stuff. Looking out at the grand Pavillion (see pic to the right) as we drove into Rockwood (the village), we braced ourselves for camping easy-street. Of course, as you already know... our first impressions were so very wrong.
What a great view from the top of the cliff. This picture was taken from on top of the cliff in the picture below.
|We generally like to visit untouched areas, and once you get past the beach area, you're in hiking paradise. Two main trails take you through densely wooded forest, past gorges, up and down hills and cliffs, and along the river. For the more daring, there's an extensive cave network, complete with stalactites and columns (we're heading there next visit).
|Hiking is just the start of what you can do at Rockwood. There are canoe rentals for $10.00 (plus a $75 deposit) at the main beach. This is another activity on our list for next time since we're preparing for a portage trip later on this summer in Algonquin. Canoeing at Rockwood seemed like a very popular activity and many families were cruising the lake and the Eramosa river as we looked on in admiration of their unique perspective of the cliffs that line the shores. There's also swimming, picknicking, mini-golf (near the main entrance) and camping to enjoy at Rockwood. While you're there, don't forget to visit the old mill ruins! (see picture below)
|On our walk around the lake, we spotted these Geese with their babies. They were pretty focused on dinner, and ignored us (well, all but one very protective guy). He kept giving me a little attitude now and then... probably just showing off for the girl geese.
When I sat still and didn't move, they just did their thing, and let me do mine. After, we started wondering if there was some kind of law against getting too close to them. Please don't harass these little guys!
I'm thinking this is an American Crow... Any Confimation?
It had the coolest blue head!
This cliff as actually a tiny little island in the middle of the lake (I took this picture from right beside the baby birds)

Rockwood's Informational Brochure--http://www.grandriver.ca/parks/rockwood_tab_2007.pdf
Having spent all our time hiking around the lake, we didn't even get to explore one of the main attractions of the hiking area! These are the ruins of the old mill.
|Why not try Geocaching at Rockwood?

Characteristics of Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth refers to a naturally-formed sedimentary mineral coming from the remains of what were once oceanic unicellular shells and algae known as diatoms. Diatoms, the ocean's "spiny honeycombs," are over 30 million years old, and were formed when these microscopic algae-like plants died and remained compounded in the earth's surface as skeletal remains. These organisms, much like a mollusc emits lime-carbonate, had the ability to emit silica. Scientists refer to these clay-like, chalky remains as diatomite. When we mine the earth, we discover these remains in the form of a thick white siliceous powder.
Alternative Health Properties of Diatomaceous Earth
Food grade diatomaceous earth offers important benefits, particularly related to the fact that it is composed of approximately 85% amorphous silica. In the past, humans were able to consume enough silica in food, but as modern hybrid foods and toxic soil became a reality, studies suggest that only about 1/3 of the silica that we need is present in our fruits and vegetables. This is a sad fact, given that silica is such a necessary component for the health of our tendons, cartilage, blood vessels, and bones. It is also needed for the health and strength of our skin, teeth and nails. It even contributes to the health of almost all of our vital organs, including the heart, liver, and lungs.
A strong abrasive, Diatomaceous Earth is composed of a unique combination of 33% silicon, 19% calcium, 5% sodium, 3% magnesium and 2% iron, as well fifteen other trace minerals like boron, manganese, titanium, copper and zirconium.
Silica is an important trace mineral for human beings, and one that many are unaware that they need. Dr. Barbara Hendel, author of "Water & Salt" has even stated that, "Silica is the most important trace mineral for human health."
The oldest use of diatomaceous earth has been as a toothpaste and facial scrub, due to its mild abrasive capacities. Similarly, it acts as a mild abrasive in animals, removing intestinal invaders and other harmful organisms from the digestive tract, stimulating digestion and absorption of nutrients by sweeping foreign bodies out of the system. Diatomaceous Earth is also chocked-full of naturally occurring trace minerals. These minerals promote strong nails, healthy skin and shinier hair in animal use.

State of New Mexico
State Flag: ( click here - for enlarged view)
Emblazoned on a dark blue field is the state coat of arms. The yellow field and red symbol colors are the colors of Spain. First brought to New Mexico by Spanish explorers in 1540. On New Mexico's flag we see a red sun with rays streching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all good gave them gifts in groups of four. These gifts are:
State Seal:
New Mexico's Great Seal has its origins in the 1851 formation of the Territory of New Mexico. The territorial seal featured an American eagle, and the words "Great Seal of the Territory NM". By the early 1860's, the Territory of New Mexico had adopted a seal that showed the wings of the American eagle protectively stretching out over a smaller Mexican eagle. The motto "Crescit Eundo", or "It grows as it goes", was added in 1882, and displays on a banner below the eagles. When New Mexico gained statehood in 1912, the seal was amended to read "Great Seal of the State of New Mexico", and the date of its statehood, 1912, was added to the bottom arc of the seal.
State Nickname:
The words "Land of Enchantment" adorns automobile license plates and is used frequently in state publications to promote tourism.

Because of the number of emails I get asking where and how it's possible to find a semi-affordable copy of Kings Of The Mountains by Matt Rendell, I'm constantly on the lookout for copies of the book. I go into every bookstore and library sale, and from time to time manage to score a copy or two here and there.
If you've been looking for a copy of this book, you probably know that it usually sells for $100 or much, much more. So believe me when I tell you that the copies I've bought are usually not cheap either. As such, it's unlikely that selling these books will get me that condo in Boca Raton that I've had my eye on any sooner.
Kings of the Mountains: How Colombia's Cycling Heroes Changed Their Nation's History
Matt Rendell
Aurum Press Ltd, June 2003
256 pages
$75 paperback (plus shipping). $95 hardcover (plus shipping)
Shipping: $5 in the US, $15 Internationally
To Order
Payment should be made via PayPal to: cyclinginquisition - at symbol here - gmail.com.
All copies of the book are used, and range in condition from good to excellent. All have strong bindings, no missing pages. A couple of the books come from libraries, and may include stickers on the spine, stamps in front pages, or a clear book cover. There may be creases in pages, or lightly dinged up corners.
The extras
Each book comes with a handmade booklet (a "zine" in punk rock parlance) of my interview with Matt Rendell, which gives a great deal of background regarding his interest in Colombian cycling, and how this book came about. It's 28 pages long, and roughly the same size as the book.
As with other Cycling Inquisition offerings, this one comes with a few small culinary treats. In this case, your copy of the book will come with coffee-flavored candy, made by the oldest sweets manufacturer in Colombia.
|Please note that the cover of the "zine" that comes with your book may look slightly different to the one pictured above, and the same is true for the candy. These pictures were taken a while back, when I first sold copies of the book.
Reviews of the book:
Meticulous, elegant and sensitive, Kings of the Mountains works both as a panegyric to the sporting heroes of a troubled land and as a more general meditation on motifs key to sport and to nationalism: politics, religion, pride, pain and glory.
The Times.
Thrilling reading... cleanly written, meticulously researched... This book unearths a fascinating national sporting history.
Times Literary Supplement.
A fascinating work of admirable scope and depth.
Cycle Sport.
Some story, worthy of the magical realism of Gabriel García Márques or Mario Vargas Llosa in its intricate layering of sport, social history and the vagaries of human nature.
Cycling Plus.
Though not from an established publication, my favorite review of the book comes in the form of the personalized note that was written in Spanish for the original owner of my personal copy of the book. It says: "This book brought me to tears, I'm sure it will do the same for you."
Lastly, as a proponent of South American cycling in general, I thought I'd share this video with you, from the Brazilian clothing company Kirschner, whose proprietor I interviewed for the blog a while back

First we had numbers, then we had colours, now we are featuring movies with name places in the title. Oh there are SO many to choose from--- in fact I almost considered doing a post just on 'M's'. Some are classics that hardly need pointing out, yet I will-well, because that's what I do. Others are a little more obscure but all are worth a look.
Casablanca--- previously featured in its own post, it bares mentioning again. This is one of my all time faves- it's right up there with Ben Hur (did you follow my recommendation and go see it's re-release on the big screen?). To my mind, this is one of the world's most perfect movies- love, honour, self sacrifice-all set against the backdrop of WW 2. Best writer, best director and best picture for 1942. You won't believe the famous lines that came out of this movie. Bogart, Claude Rains, and Ingrid Bergman at their very best. And don't forget Conrad Veidt.
In Bruges--- this should be a controversial one- love it or hate it, but I doubt you will be ambivalent towards it. This is just really hard to pigeonhole into any specific genre. But it you like bizarre and unexpected this is the movie for you. A close second in the bizarre and unexpected category would be the Coen's brothers Fargo. Except having said that, if you are a fan of the Coen brothers, you know to expect the unexpected.
Philadelphia-with Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks in one of his back-to-back Oscar winning roles. This is an award worthy performance -also a sad and occassionaly difficult movie to watch. Not to be confused with its' polar opposite 'The Philadelphia Story'. With Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart (Oscar winner for Best actor) and Cary Grant--- from 1940. Light-hearted and easy to watch.
L A Confidential- from 1997 with Kim Bassinger, Kevin Spacey, James Cromwell, Guy Pearce. This is the film that really brought Russell Crowe to North American audience's attention. Dark, brooding, moody, excellent plot- very 'film noir'.
Munich- I've seen this Spielberg offering twice and I am still not sure what I think of it. Depending on your age you may be unaware of the back story. The 'Munich Massacre' is the name for the real events that occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually killed by the Palestinian group Black September. By the end of the ordeal, the kidnappers had killed eleven of the athletes and coaches and a West German policeman. Five of the eight members of Black September were killed by police officers during a failed rescue attempt. The three surviving kidnappers were captured, but later released by West Germany following the hijacking by Black September of a Lufthansa airliner. That part is true. This movie is the story of the aftermath of these events, and the five men chosen to eliminate the ones responsible for that fateful day. Being as it was a highly secret black op it remains for the viewer to determine the degree of reality. But that is the case with most movies based on 'true events'.
With the exception of Philadelphia Story, all these recommendations are dramatic offerings. So for something a little lighter in the location department try Brigadoon and An American in Paris---all you dance fans should enjoy these charmers with Gene Kelly dancing his feet off, wonderful music and lyrics by Lerner and Lowe, and Vincent Minelli's excellent directing.
(Nice map huh!)
Mel recommended many excellent titles in two earlier posts which you can find under the tagline numbers colours and letters on the left. She observed how many films there were with numbers in the titles, and when I started this one I was struck with the same thought---gobs of movies with colours in the titles. Here in no particular order are colour movies, all which I've seen and enjoyed.
The Color Purple---Spielberg brings you Woopie and Oprah in the story based on Alice Walkers popular novel. Bit of trivia here- although nominated for 11 Academy Awards, it won--- zero! This ties with a movie called The Turning Point, that people are hard pressed to remember. I actually like them both.
Black Swan- this movie which had 2011's Best Actress winner will not be everybodies cup of tea. Melodramatic, on times bordering on incomprehensible, it is still worth seeing just for Natalie Portman's stunning performance. Yes- she did her own dancing.
Reds- this is Warren Beatty's 1981 story of a radical American journalist who becomes involved with the Communist revolution in Russia. This is long folks---194 minutes. Not to be confused with the far inferior Helen Mirren/Bruce Willis spy offering called Red-although John Malcovich's performance almost makes it worthwhile-nobody does nutjob as well as John.
Solyent Green---from 1972, futuristic dystopia with Charlton Heston.
Green Mile---from the fertile mind of Stephen King, this is one of his stories that translates very well from book to the big screen. A really good performance by Tom Hanks, and lots of other recognizable faces, even if you can't get all the names. Can you spot the actor who played Ned Pepper in the True Grit remake? This guy is a real chameleon and a talented actor.
The Purple Rose of Cairo- ignore his sordid personal life and just pay tribute to the film maker, and there is no denying that Woody Allen makes some really good movies. This is a charming offering from 1985 starring Mia Farrow and Jeff Daniels.
The Scarlet and the Black- the Vatican, the Nazi's, Christopher Plummer and Gregory Peck.
The Red Shoes---A young ballet dancer is torn between the man she loves and her pursuit to become a prima ballerina. A must see.
It isn't easy being green- Kermit the frog of course, and the irrepressible Muppets---several Movies and the series 1, 2 and 3. Anybody who was anybody used to line up to get on this weekly show.

Only some of these films are about teens or for teens, but the recurrence of "adult trapped in teen's body" themed movies--intentional or otherwise--is curious.

The number (!) of number-themed reviews is vast. What to include: Only titles whose first words are numbers? How many 0000s are permitted? How about fractions? For now, let's look at 10 and under from CPL's dvd collection. It's by no means a complete list, so feel free to recommend others from our collection in your comments.
No, I can't explain the uncanny reappearances of Heath Ledger, Sandra Bullock and Faye Dunaway:
One Week: There was buzz a year or so ago at the film festivals around this 2008 feature starring Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) in which a young man travels across Canada.
One Hour Photo: Robin Williams stars as a creepy photo-finisher who stalks a family after seeing their snaps.

Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada: Root 'em Shoot'em starring Tommy Lee Jones. While you're at it, watch 3:10 to Yuma, reviewed in an earlier Best Westerns blog post.
Three Valley Gap: Anyone's who's driven from Calgary to Vancouver on the Trans-Canada knows this wacky gold panning stop in the road. This documentary is part of the Wings over Canada series which gives a bush pilot's view of the area.
The Three Stooges collection: needs no review
Four Feathers Heath Ledger stars in this remake of a 1939 historical drama set during the war in the Sudan.
Four Weddings and a Funeral: The film that launched Hugh Grant's career. A story of friends, love, and loss, it had the quality of an independent film but was still widely accessible and remains a hit.
Hawaii Five-O is now available on dvd in glorious technicolour. Just in time for the tv remake, surf's up! "Book 'em Danno."
We now have The Fifth Element starring supermodel Mila Jovovich. This is a fun sci-fi action/conspiracy movie. Not for kids but lovers of space movies and non-lovers of space movies will both enjoy. Quirky cameo roles abound.
The winner here is the tv series Six Feet Under, which looks at the lives of a family of undertakers after the patriarch dies. Comic and poignant and not too grisly.
We also have Six Degrees of Separation, starring Will Smith in one of his first dramatic roles with Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland. A couple's marriage disintegrates as Channing's character explores motherhood and class divisions.
In Se7en Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman star as detectives tracking a violent and manipulative serial killer. Very disturbing and graphic.
Seven Samurai is the clear winner here. See the desert island classic review of Akira Kurasawa's masterwork.
Eight 1/2: Fellini's classic semi-autobiographical film
8 Mile: Eminem's classic semi-autobiographical film
Jon and Kate plus Eight, the tv series... In case you missed the spectacle the first time around.
Check out award winning animated film 9. Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape of rubble and mechanical parts, small burlap creatures fight to defend themselves and discover who their destiny. Fans of Tim Burton's films will recognize his visual influence. The dvd also includes the original short film version whose economy and plot development we liked even more than the feature's.
District 9
A very unique film: social critique by way of science fiction. District Nine places aliens in the refugee camps in Johannesburg... and yes, the "monsters are us"
You may remember the ads but was it ever in the theatres? Anyone? A musical based on Fellini's 8 1/2, watch it for the incredible costumes and all-star cast including Penelope Kruz, Kate Hudson, Daniel Day Lewis and "it" girl Marion Cotillard.
The Ten Commandments: See Charlton Heston part the Red Sea in glorious Technicolor. It never gets old.
Number Ten: a serial look inside Britain's powerhouse on Downing Street
Ten Canoes This Australian film features Aboriginal brothers in a comic adventure based on a traditional fable.
Ten things I hate about you: Heath Ledger stars in a romantic comedy.

AURA by Tracie Ellis Bedding
I have some brand new bedding for Autumn to share from Aura by Tracie Ellis, a Melbourne-based interiors brand that I have fallen in love with over the months due to their sumptuous bedding. I did a double take the moment I saw the Autumn "Ankita" bed linen collection, especially the chevron duvet shown below – I want, want, want that! Ankita is an ancient Sanskrit word that means 'marked for prominence,' but also Ankita is a rare, Indian-inspired beauty.
Their linens are inspired by faraway places and the colorways are meant to, "recall ancient cultures and quieter times," making this collection feel so inviting – it's meant to calm, transport, soothe and turn the bedroom into a sanctuary, "Ankita transports a bedroom into a past of spiritual ease." Doesn't that sound just lovely?
In addition to these photographs above, you can view the entire AURA by Tracie Ellis catalog online here in their flipbook where you will find more bedding in addition to table linens, cushions, fashion accessories and more.
Now to go to their website to check out that chevron patterned duvet… :)

Health System and EPI Program
Ethiopia's health infrastructure consists of about 15,000 health posts (kebeles), 819 district health offices (woredas), 98 health zones and 11 health regional bureaus. The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) was introduced in 1980. It was formerly located in the Family Health Division in the Ministry of Health. There is an EPI focal point in each health region.
In 2008‐09, the Ministry of Health was extensively reorganized. A series of core civil service and Business Process Re‐engineering reforms were implemented. An annual bottom‐up (woreda) planning process and a new Health Management Information System were introduced. Immunization and other health programs were placed in one of three Directorates: Agrarian, Urban and Pastoralists. An Immunization Inter‐Agency Coordinating Committee and a National Health Sector Coordinating Committee oversee the EPI.
Over the period 2006-2011, Gross National Income (GNI) in Ethiopia increased from $190 to $400 per capita. According to WHO/UNICEF-Joint Reporting Form (JRF) Database, government expenditures were reported for 2009 and 2010. In 2009, Ethiopia spent $16 million ($6 per infant) on its routine immunization program. This investment increased to $26 million ($17 per infant) in 2010, contributing 51% of the EPI program's total cost.
Click to download Ethiopia's 2006-2013 Reported Government Expenditures on Routine Immunization updated 09/2014
Ethiopia is a federal parliamentary republic, whereby the Prime Minister is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government. The prime minister is chosen by the parliament. Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament. The Judiciary is more or less independent of the executive and the legislature. They are governed under the constitution of 1994.
There is a bicameral parliament made up of the higher chamber, the House of Federation (108 seats) and the 547-seat House of Peoples Representatives, the lower house. The house of federation has members chosen by the state assemblies to serve five year terms. The house of people's representatives are elected by direct election, who in turn elect the president for a six year term.
The House of People's Representatives Budget and Finance Standing committee reviews and proposes amendments to the annual budget. The Public Accounts Committee reviews annual audits, conducts hearings and formulates follow-up recommendations.
Health, immunization and immunization financing and budget oversight is the responsibility of the standing Committee on Social Affairs, House of People's Representatives.
Immunization-related Legislation
Excerpts from the Ethiopian Constitution:
‐ Chapter III, Article 41 (Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) of the Ethiopian Constitution states:
"The State has the obligation to allocate ever increasing resources to provide to the public health, education and other social services".
‐ Chapter V, Article 51 (Powers and functions of the federal government) states: "It shall establish and implement national standards and basic policy criteria for public health…".
‐ Chapter X, Article 90 (social objectives) states: "To the extent the country's resources permit, policies shall aim to provide all Ethiopians access to public health and education, clean water, housing, food and social security".
‐ Book VIII, Chapter VI, Article 831 (Control of toxic substances and drugs) establishes the government's right to control Toxic Substances and Drugs13.
In 2010, the Ethiopian Parliament approved "Social Health Insurance Proclamation No.690 /2010."
Proclamation No. 690/2010 guarantees universal health care coverage to all citizens. The bill recognizes cross‐subsidization as one sustainable health care financing mechanism. It also identifies four sources of finance. Beneficiaries are defined. The package of health services covered is left to government to define and regulate.
Vaccines are placed under government regulation through the "Food, Medicine and Health Care Administration and Control Proclamation No. 661/2009".

Robert Young has made a remarkable political comeback, made all the more remarkable by the fact that Mr. Young has been dead for many years. You didn't know Robert Young was in politics? Then you are either very young or have not been paying attention — or both.
I noticed the political value of Robert Young more than a quarter of a century ago, when former President Gerald Ford published his memoirs, titled A Time to Heal. Until then, I thought Ford, who became President because Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned in disgrace nearly a year before President Richard Nixon did, was an accident who had happened to happen. But when I saw his memoirs, I realized at once that he was America's physician, waiting for an ailing nation to recognize the need for his healing touch.
The cover of the book showed a profile of Ford looking rather pensive, while smoking a pipe. The picture clearly was meant to convey the idea that the former president, who lost his bid for reelection in a remarkably close contest with that ol' peanut-picker, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, was a thoughtful man who would always follow the first rule of Hippocrates: "First, do no harm." Jimmy Carter promised he would never lie to us. What made Ford somewhat reassuring was his unspoken commitment to the task of ensuring that truth would never kill us in an overdose. Truth may often be painful, but it should never be fatal.
Looking at that picture, it occurred to me at once whom the former president was emulating. A TV series that was quite popular when Ford was president was Marcus Welby, M.D. The kindly, gray-haired gentleman playing Marcus Welby was, of course, Robert Young. Ford was still working on his bedside manner when the America the patient ran out of patience and chose a new doctor.
It is remarkable we were permitted to do this when the federal government had not yet authorized a "comprehensive health care plan." But we Americans have an annoying habit of holding elections at regularly scheduled intervals and we tend to turn out in force when we are ready to turn out whatever F-troop regime is occupying the White House at the time. We had decided that, whatever the man's personal virtues may have been, it was time for Ford the president to go. Take two aspirin, Jerry and avoid strenuous activities, like running for president, from now on.
Ford, now 93, is still lingering in retirement, but Robert Young has come back in a reprise of his most famous TV role. The cover of Newsweek after the fall's election showed the former President George H.W. Bush in the foreground, looming rather large, while "Georgie," the semi-honorable "incrumbent" looked small in background. The headline: "Father Knows Best?"
The neocons and others who helped propel the current President Bush to the White House may have had another TV series in mind. Mission Impossible, perhaps. Or, given the younger Bush's western roots, Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys. Maybe even Bonanza, with the script altered to put Ben, "Hoss" and Adam Cartright into semi-retirement, while Little Joe steals the show. Instead, we got a remake of Dukes of Hazard — without Jessica Simpson.
What might the sequel be in the last two years? Well, if I were George W. Bush, I would be a bit more restrained in rejoicing over the death sentence for Saddam Hussein. As Robert A. Taft, whom you might call as a "Paleoconservative," warned about the Nuremberg trials, they set a troubling precedent. If the world takes a notion to expand the trial and sentencing of war criminals, Bush's war-making activities, "cutting off limbs and lives, making orphans and widows out of children and wives," may get some unfavorable reviews. What famous character of the movie and TV screens will Bush resemble then? Well, David Janssen comes to mind. Harrison Ford, too.
Stay tuned for The Fugitive, next on the Bush Family Network!

Two of my three were HORRIBLE in church. Those were my days of just trying to be blessed by being present. Weddings were the worst...esp. my own brother's ....ugh!
Each child is unique and special. Jesus loves children!
I have learned something very special. The older people of your parish LOVE hearing the young ones. It gives them hope, faith, and re-living their own experiences. By bringing our children to church, we are giving to our church and community. We are passing on our faith.
What I still have for my young neices & nephews, is a church bag. This is only for church. Inside is special religious books (some are just books from dollar stores and pop-up books and Christmas/Easter/Saints) Then a no noise stuffed animal. Yes many animals make noise so its got to be an animal that doesn't make noise...ie rabbit or fish. The material in it can't make noise either. Prayer cards on a ring is also a really nice for the slightly older child (4yrs).
The ironic thing is your child will remember none of this, but you will.
I believe God blesses mothers who attend mass with young ones!!!

Mets Making a Mess of Things
BREAKING NEWS: Tampa Bay All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria appears headed for Frontier Field with the Durham Bulls, who begin a four-game series against the Red Wings on Monday. Is he a draw? Would you go to see him? It will be gorgeous weather. Let me know. Is he a yay or a nay?
Boy, those New York Mets are a greedy bunch.
Less than two weeks after Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in the franchise's star-crossed 51-year history, the Mets are trying to get R.A. Dickey's one-hitter on Wednesday changed to a no-no. Mets manager Terry Collins admits the team has a less than 5 percent chance of getting B.J. Upton's FIRST INNING infield hit changed to an error on third baseman David Wright, but he's apparently willing to give it a shot and risk alienating his star infielder.
In the bottom of the first at Tropicana Field, the speedy Upton hit a chopper down the line that Wright tried to bare-hand. The ball glanced off his hand. Even if he caught the ball, there's no guarantee the off-balance Wright would have thrown out the fast Upton. I believe infield hit was the correct call (and I'm positive E-5 would have been the call in the ninth inning of a no-hitter. Official scorers are no dummies).
That was the only hit allowed by Dickey, the former Red Wings knuckleballer. Granted, the pressure of throwing a no-hitter was off. Collins has a lot of, um, guts asking MLB to overturn this call considering Santana was handed a gift from the baseball gods just 12 days earlier. Carlos Beltran doubled off the left-hander in the sixth inning that evening – the ball hit the third-base line! – but it was ruled a foul ball.
And I love this: umpire Adrian Johnson, who blew the call, admitted he saw the replay after the game but declined comment. Geez, I wonder what he thought.
Maybe MLB will call Collins and change both calls.
To his credit, Dickey – who threw two no-hitters in high school – said part of him would love a no-hitter and part of him would consider it "cheap." Collins says the team has nothing to lose by taking its case to MLB. Well, nothing other than the respect of their star third baseman.
"It's a little awkward when a team wants an error on its own player," Wright said. "I wish I could have made the play. I just didn't. It's a very difficult play." I score this one E-Mets. And I'm not reversing my call.
So the Giants' Matt Cain throws a perfect game against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. That's the second time in three years there have been two perfect games in the same season (there have only been 22 legitimate perfect games in baseball history). There already are five no-hitters in the majors. The last time there were that many in mid-June? 1917.
There are plenty of theories about why this is happening, much of it focusing on weak lineups. Or inexperienced ones. The Astros lineup that Cain put away featured six players 25 or younger, and none older than 28.
Former Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone made the silly comment that his vaunted pitching staff of the 1990s wouldn't even give up a run these days. But he also made a shrewd comment when he told USA Today: "We're in a different era of baseball. When (the Braves stars) pitched, it was the era of offense. They were hitting bombs everywhere. And guys were never running out of gas. They felt great every day. These days, you don't even seem them hit home runs in batting practice. It's like everybody is out of gas.''
MLB's stringest drug-testing regulations have robbed many hitters of power. But the ban on amphetamines, which took place before the 2006 season, has robbed many of energy.
MIKE SARBAUGH, manager of the two-time defending Triple-A champion Columbus Clippers, will manage the International League in the Triple-A All-Star on July 11 in Buffalo. Former Buffalo manager Marty Brown, now in his second year running the Las Vegas 51s, will manage the Pacific Coast League.
This marks just the second time that both managers are making a return trip to the event (in 2003, it was Marc Bombard and Rick Sweet). Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg will be one of the IL's coaches.
The IL released updated All-Star voting on Thursday (top five for catchers and infielders, top 10 for starting pitchers, relief pitchers and outfielders). Not a single Red Wings player was listed. The smart money is on reliever Anthony Slama representing the Wings in the game, assuming he's off the disabled list by then. If not, outfielder Matt Carson has a decent shot. Although I have to say, Carson leading the team in mid-June with 21 RBI (no misprint) speaks VOLUMES about this team's struggles offensively. Toledo's Brad Eldred, who has played in the same number of games as Carson (60), leads the International League with 64.
