Transmission CoolersHow to add auxiliary heat-dissipation
The cooler your automatic transmission runs, the longer it'll last. Car manufacturers know this. To dissipate heat from the automatic transmission fluid (ATF), they route transmission lines through a cooler that's either built into or in front of the radiator. Air enters through the grille and sweeps across the cooler or radiator's fins, helping cool the fluid.
Towing and hauling in particular can place extra demands on an automatic transmission. Most people have experienced "gear-hunting" as an automatic-equipped pickup or SUV toggles back and forth between gears while going up a steep hill. In scenarios like this, all vehicle fluids tend to heat up, and adding a load and/or trailer makes matters worse.

Adding an aftermarket transmission cooler is one of the best performance upgrades that can be done to an extreme-duty automatic vehicle. Consider it cheap insurance against an expensive transmission rebuild.
When choosing an aftermarket cooler, apply the bigger-is-better rule of thumb: Select a unit that's rated at least three times more than the vehicle's GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) or the largest model that will fit in an area of the vehicle that receives airflow.
Most transmission coolers come complete with all the fittings, plumbing and hardware necessary to do the job. Racing-application models often allow the buyer to furnish their own hardware, which can either be sourced at a good hardware store or in a separate trans-cooler mounting kit.
As mentioned, the cooler should be mounted where it'll receive airflow but be protected from rocks and other road projectiles. The instructions that came with the cooler shown here specify that it be mounted at least an inch from the fan, 1/8 inch from the radiator, two inches from the hood and/or wheelwells, and six inches from any exhaust component. Mounting the cooler on the same side of the engine as the trans-fluid return line makes plumbing easier. The Steps here show highlights of how to install an automatic transmission cooler.

Those of you that fly American Airlines often will know that they've long had a "Gourmet Snack Mix" comprised of mostly pretzels, with a few other crunchy things thrown in (picture courtesy of I Love Charts):
On a recent American Airlines flight, however, I was presented with a bag of Mixed Nuts:
I was ecstatic! Not being a pretzel fan, I would always pass on the snack mix… but on shorter flights where there are no warm nut ramekins, I finally had an option. As it turns out, this is a very, very limited catering option and isn't on most flights. The FA's, however, thought it had better uptake and encouraged me to blog about it and have folks send notes to Customer Relations requesting the Mixed Nuts more often.
What's your preference? The "Gourmet Snack Mix" which is mostly pretzels? Mixed nuts (whether packaged or warmed)? Nothing? Something else? Comment below… and if you want mixed nuts in place of snack mix, email Customer Relations!

Robin van Persie's 15th goal of the season ensured Manchester United will spend Christmas Day on top of the Barclays Premier League as they eased past Sunderland 3-1. Tom Cleverley's first league goal at Old Trafford and Wayne Rooney's fifth in four games were enough to keep United six points clear of Manchester City, with Frazier Campbell's header against his old club scant consolation for Sunderland.
United started the match with purpose and Patrice Evra had wasted one opportunity when Ashley Young wriggled away from Carlos Cuellar close to the byline, then cut a cross back that Van Persie finished expertly after John O'Shea was unable to clear.
Within three minutes, the hosts had their second. It was a gem too as Cleverley exchanged passes with Michael Carrick before drilling an excellent effort past Simon Mignolet from 12 yards.
With United scenting blood, Rooney missed a good chance when he volleyed wide from Van Persie's knockdown. The England striker then steered a near-post header wide from Evra's cross as United threatened to run riot.
Half-time was approaching before Sunderland carved out their first meaningful opportunity, which Stephane Sessegnon struck Evra with before it flew over.
The interval introduction of Conor Wickham for the injured Steven Fletcher did trigger a flurry of activity around the United goal as David de Gea denied Craig Gardner and Sessegnon. Yet the clear chances kept falling to the hosts.
Rooney's shot rattled the bar after flicking off Titus Bramble, with Young blazing the rebound over. Van Persie lobbed wide after Young had sent the Dutchman running clear of the Sunderland defence.
But the Dutchman was behind the third with an unselfish overlapping run that was followed by a deft piece of skill that took him between Cuellar and Bramble before he set up Rooney, who tapped home from close range.
With victory assured, Ferguson felt sufficiently confident about easing Nemanja Vidic back into the fray. After only 13 appearances in a 16-month period that included a calf injury and two lots of knee surgery, the 31-year-old came back on the field. But the Serb was unable to prevent Campbell from being found unmarked to score a late consolation header from close range.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "A lot of our football was fantastic and some of our interchange play was terrific. I don't know if we relaxed when we went 3-0 up or if Sunderland got a grip of the game, but towards the end they played very well and could have scored two or three goals.
"Some of our play was fantastic and we should've scored more. Tom Cleverley's goal was a marvellous piece of interchange play, a first-time finish and a really superb goal which epitomised the way we were playing at that point. I'd no complaints for an hour and it was wonderful to watch.
"We don't pick out Robin van Persie's runs as well as we should - his movement is great and he kept them on the back foot. But Wayne [Rooney] could've scored three of four goals, he hit the bar and missed two or three chances in the first half. But he got one which is important as it keeps his run going."
"People keep saying we are weak in midfield but these guys are very good players. Sometimes it gives me a little problem selecting the right two, although today was simple because [Michael] Carrick and Cleverley deserved to play after their performance [against Manchester City] last week. Tom has goals in him. As a younger player he always had a goal in him. He has got me three this season and I really do expect more from him because he is a nice finisher."
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill: "Their first goal was a mistake on our part and we probably should have dealt with it better. At that point it could have got a little bit more frenetic.
"It was a really spirited performance in the second half. We improved and created some very good chances. It could have made for a really interesting finish, but we were unable to put them away.
"[Stephane] Sessegnon helped us get our goal back but we were unable to reduce the deficit any further, which was naturally disappointing with the chances we had. We can take a lot of heart from the second-half performance. There are a lot of big games coming up and they're going to be important for us."
"Steven [Fletcher] hurt his back in the warm-up before the game. He twisted it in some way and it was causing him a few problems. It got more painful in the last 10 minutes of the first half and he couldn't continue."
"Robin van Persie was a great purchase. It means Manchester United are capable of scoring goals because Wayne Rooney is a top quality player as well. Whilst their main players stay fit Manchester United are capable of winning the league."

- English
- German
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
Following Operating Systems are supported:
- Windows XP
- Windows Vista
- Windows Vista x64
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Server 2003 x64
One of the most talked about new features is InPrivate Browsing, which enables you to browse the web without saving your history with Internet Explorer 8's InPrivate Browsing. Now you can shop for that special gift with confidence knowing your family won't accidentally find out or use a shared computer without leaving a trace.
Will you be using InPrivate Browsing mode? I think I will pass. I don't need to use the said mode on any browser on my Home PC or on my laptop but yes on a Public Computer say in an Internet Cafe the said mode will be handy. Other than that, the way it is being marketed sounds funny.
Here it comes – Internet Explorer 7
True, it's final version has been officially released by Microsoft. You can read a review about it at Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows
It looks very good indeed. I have not downloaded it yet, will take me 2-3 hours perhaps to get the download done with my dear stupid dial-up. I plan a few additions on my website very soon insha'Allah, but I have to complete other things before making final those additions. Pray I am able to spend equal time with everything that requires my attention. To all those friends and users who are using Internet Explorer 6 as their default browser. Please upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 as soon as possible.
It has many new features and functions esp. Security wise, it's far better than the old Internet Explorer, the version 6. To those users (like me) who moved to Firefox, or Opera. I don't think they'll make themselves come back permanently to IE7 because both Firefox & Opera offer complete customization of the browser to user's requirements. Firefox being more customizable than Opera here. Well, it will be the G33KS who like to see everything customized to their brain who won't come back to IE7. As for other usual users, IE7 is good enough to use and esp. for the one's who are still stuck with using IE6. IE7′s user interface might be a little confusing for the usual IE6 users, but just upgrade to it n play around with it, get used to the new UI.
Users with pirated versions of Windows will not be able to install IE7 without bypassing WGA check. Well, good luck with that! If you are able to by pass it that is. Here are the links…

text: 28 January 2013 Wolf Advocates Across the West Posted by: Suzanne Asha Stone | 76 comments | Share: Suzanne Stone, Northern Rockies Representative The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for wolf advocates in the West. My colleagues and I have been traveling from city to city and state to state organizing wolf supporters to attend meetings set by state wildlife commissions and agencies. Some of these were set to vote on proposals that could be particularly dangerous to wolves, while others opened up a broader conversation about wolf management. But for all of these meetings, it was important that people who care about the future of wolves in the region were in attendance to testify, to question, and to learn. Boise, Idaho On January 16, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission held a public hearing. There were many important issues on the docket, but we were most concerned about agenda item #6 – a measure to set aside $50,000 exclusively to have the federal government kill more wolves in order to boost elk numbers for hunters. We sounded the alarm to our members in the area, and they answered the call. I met a group of them at a reception before the meeting, and we talked about the challenges that often come with advocating for wolves in an area where myth and misconceptions about these animals are still widely regarded as fact. The hearing was amazing. The first hour of public testimony on agenda item #6 was nothing but 100% positive support for wolves. In fact, everyone who spoke about this issue opposed the measure and supported more protection for wolves. Our members were respectful, eloquent and well-informed, and the commission was visibly blown away by their testimonies. When my turn came, I was able to focus on specific concerns with the measure, including the fact that the proposal could allow for the use of more controversial "management" practices, like aerial gunning. And the fact that lethal control fails to work in the long term – no matter what the reason for wanting more elk, killing wolves is not a solution. I spoke about our Wood River Wolf Project and its success in protecting 27,300 sheep living among three resident wolf packs with only one incident that resulted in the loss of 4 sheep. I asked them to use the $50,000 for nonlethal methods of preventing predation on livestock instead of just continuing this endless and wasteful cycle of loss and killing. Sadly, when it came to the vote the following morning, the commission approved the proposal. Even though they heard that so many residents were staunchly against it, they still designated $50,000 for federal wolf killing. Defenders is working to raise twice that amount to put toward protecting wolves and other wildlife in the region. Though the commission approved the proposal, I think our collective testimony surprised them. To have so many people willing to speak out on behalf of wolves here in Boise is unprecedented, and at a public hearing like this one, it showed the decision-makers that the people of Idaho care about how wolves are managed, and we're watching their actions closely. The days of passing awful management proposals without public opposition is over. Seattle, Washington Later the same week, I set out for Seattle. After the fiasco with the Wedge Pack last summer, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is making an effort to keep the public better informed about their management methods. We let our members in the area know about this great opportunity to learn more about wolves in their state and to ask questions of the agency in charge of managing them. The meeting was a bit of a challenge. First, the location of the meeting was moved, so we sent out an update. Then, the new location proved very difficult to find, so we posted signs along the road to point the way. Once WFDW arrived they quickly realized the space was far too small and moved the meeting to a warehouse across the street for the more than 300 people who attended! It was incredible to see so many people interested in wolves in a state that is still welcoming the species back to parts of its native range that have been wolf-free for over a century. Carter Niemeyer, retired wolf recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, was one of the key speakers and did a great job answering questions and providing an expert overview of the challenges and opportunities of restoring wolves in Washington. Similar meetings took place in Spokane and Olympia, and we were able to have someone from Defenders attend each one. We have some great supporters here in Idaho, out in Washington, and across the nation who are invested in the future of wolves in the U.S. Wolves are still looking at a tough year ahead, with premature hunting paring down their numbers, and dangerous legislation in most states in the region threatening to strip them of their remaining protections. But it's encouraging to know that despite the misinformation out there about wolves, and the many industries and agencies interested in halting their recovery, there is still a growing number who want to see these majestic animals protected and restored to their rightful place in the ecosystem. We're going to have to unite with other like-minded residents in the West and build a great network of activists who will work together to safeguard the future for wolves in the region. 76 Responses to "Wolf Advocates Across the West" Newer Comments » Vera K White January 28th, 2013 Keep doing what you're doing and our elected officials will have to take notice. I applaud you. Reply Debbie Kovar January 29th, 2013 thanks for all your hard work! Amelia Holstein February 8th, 2013 We would have no wolves were it not for the hard work of yourself and Defenders. Thank you for everything you do! Geria February 15th, 2013 These guys heading and staffing government agencies will eventually learn that ideas that were acceptable one hundred years ago were never right in the first place. I hope they are able to learn. I never want to see a repeat of the terrible extermination of wolves that went on in the 1800's. Wolves were eradicated from most of their natural ranges in the US. I don't have the patience to keep working on their narrow minds as these wonderful Defenders of Wildlife activists do. I appauld and support their efforts. Gina January 28th, 2013 I wished every anti-wolf advocate would read this excerpt from Aldo Leopold's book, "I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. Since then I have lived to see state after state extirpate its wolves. I have watched the face of many a newly wolfless mountain, and seen the south-facing slopes wrinkle with a maze of new deer trails. I have seen every edible bush and seedling browsed, first to anemic desuetude, and then to death. I have seen every edible tree defoliated to the height of a saddle horn. Such a mountain looks as if someone had given God pruning shears, and forbidden Him all other exercise. In the end the starved bones of the hoped-for deer herd, dead of its own too-much, was bleach with the bones of the dead sage, or moldering under the high-lined junipers. [Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, and Sketches Here and There.] Reply Matt Folkmuse Stone February 8th, 2013 Gina, thank you so much for taking the time to quote this. We must keep working until most people understand the true nature and role of the wolf in our world. S. O. Rooney February 8th, 2013 Wow. I am so impressed with this quote. It is quite moving. I wish everyone, especially wolf haters, could read it. It would give many pause. Thank you, Gina. Jeanine February 11th, 2013 I am an environmentalist and am a Naturalist by profession. I am all for restoring the wolves to their rightful place in the ecosystem and food chain. What I don't understand is why the powers that be introduced the wrong species of Wolf to the Idaho territory. From what I understand, the Grey Wolf is the native species and instead the powers that be introduced the Red Wolf????? I understand that the Red Wold is a larger species and is throwing the population of Moose, Elk and Deer into peril. If I am mistaken, please correct me. If not, please explain why a non native was introduced. Defenders of Wildlife February 12th, 2013 Hi Jeanine, I'm afraid you're mistaken. The wolves reintroduced to the Northern Rockies are gray wolves, the same species that is native to the region. Red wolves are a slightly smaller species native to the southeast. You can learn more about them here: http://www.defenders.org/red-wolf/basic-facts Susann Pedersen January 29th, 2013 Thank you Suzanne for your courage to do whatever it takes to protect our wolves and educate the people out West. Yes, I hope the days of just passing laws is over…Educate and may we all live together, man and beast, the lion and the lamb. Thank you from a Midwestern girl who doesn't understand the need for such killings of wolves. I hear the words wolf in the Midwest especially up north Wisconsin and Michigan and have heard the word "problem". I don't like that….God bless you. Susann Pedersen Reply Rhonda Lanier January 29th, 2013 Thank you Suzanne for this incredibly encouraging news from Idaho and Washington. The fact that so very many people were willing to take a public stand IS the first step to combat the constant misinformation repeatedly quoted by the antis. And thank you to Carter Niemeyer for continuing to speak out and educate people about wolves. Not even the antis can drown out the plain truth that he speaks; his knowledge comes from first hand experience. The wheels of justice are beginning to turn for our wolves. We just have to keep up the momentum. Reply Bill Wiley January 29th, 2013 Keep up the great work. The personal representation will eventually make a difference. Reply Jack Bresnahan January 30th, 2013 Thanks Suzanne for all your efforts. And thanks to Defenders of Wildlife in general for all its efforts in protecting wolves in America. However, it has become painfully obvious to me that the process of attending hearings, meeting with legislators, submitting petitions and filing lawsuits are not enough to to stop the slaughter. I think it is time to take our cause to the next level: Organized direct physical intervention by our members. I'm talking about non-violent measures of course, but publicized and very high profile. We must find methods to physically stand in the way. We have all seen the efforts and accomplishments of the Sea Shepherd Society in protecting whales from slaughter by piratical Japanese whalers. I think it's time for Defenders to respond the same way. Reply Suzanne Stone February 8th, 2013 Thanks very much for all the encouragement and kind words. It's deeply appreciated. We need to keep working together to build support for wolves. It's really the only way that we can secure their future. Reply Jennifer February 8th, 2013 Suzanne, If there is anything I can do to help with the save the wolves effort, please let me know. These beautiful animals need our voices behind them. Let me know if there are any petition or calls I could make for this cause. Thanks Jennifer Robert Watson February 8th, 2013 I am heartened by the local opposition to the anti wolf measures, unfortunately however they still pass. Wildlife Services (USDA) will do the killing so until the the federal govt. gets back involved in a positive way sadly I see no hope for wolves. Reply James R (Randy) MOnroe February 8th, 2013 What is extremely sad is the fact that in the Idaho Fish & Game Commission hearing, numerous folks came out in support for science and fact-based, non-lethal means for controlling wolf depredation and yet, the bureaucrats/politicians over-seeing the whole process already had their narrow-minded views formed and voted for lethal actions anyway. "Yeeha, if it moves, shoot it"! Reply Arden Allen February 8th, 2013 At age 71 I'm in no condition to participate in direct physical intervention of the wolf hunts, but I would if I could. But that is what is needed to raise the spectacle to greater public consciousness of the ignorance driven slaughter programs fashioned for the trigger happiest. It's time to reward the Constitution to, "..of every living creature, by every living creature, and for every living creature…" That's what the Right to Life is really about. Reply Heather Stewart February 8th, 2013 People should be educated that wolves are so necessary to the ecosystem and that there can be harmony between the wolves and man Reply Marcia Mueller February 8th, 2013 Some democracy! It doesn't seem to matter how many people speak out for the wolves, wild horses, bison, etc., the hunters and ranchers get their way. Reply john davis February 8th, 2013 wild horses are an non-native species that are one of the greatest threats to the wildlife in the west. When I was a resident of Wyoming I saw first hand how during times of drought large stalions would guard water holes and the carcases of antelope and deer that died of stress and lack of water within a few hundred feet of water. I have watched these feral (there are no wild horses in America) horses run herds of antelope and deer from a waterhole over and over. Cindy Wines February 8th, 2013 I am so glad you are there to represent the wolves. I was so impressed wit the movie I just saw "Living with Wolves". They are being demonized. There is so reason for the aerial shooting, the poisoning and trapping (which also gets other intended victims like your pet dog or other local wildlife) or the gassing of the pups.We can live in harmony with them. There are 13 ranches in Idaho that do!! The electric fences with the red flags surrounding the sheep. The 24/7 150 lb. Peronese dogs are all protection instead of the slaughter!! Reply Rita De Ferrary February 8th, 2013 I THINK IDAHO SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED. IGNORANT FEDS! Spending federal taxpayer dollars to encourage drunken hunters to go out and kill wolves. I really wish that the Native American Indians had not been so friendly to the Puritans on the Mayflower! Reply Jan Lowe February 8th, 2013 Dear Suzanne I think that the work you have committed to over the years is so so important for saving these magnificent wolves. I recently visited the Wolf Haven in Oregon in December and was so thrilled to see this work to help save these amazing creatures. Although I live in another country, my contribution is minimal, but I can give what I can to support to save these animals, if everyone gave a little – it will be huge and make a difference. I just wish to say, thank you Suzanne, we need more like you. Jan Reply Silver Fang February 8th, 2013 The only way to save wolves is to get republicans out of office. Republicans side with big business interests such as sportsmen, ranchers and oil barrens against nature. Reply carmen winter February 8th, 2013 I think this is true! but not only republicans it is a lack of humanity in the world that is destroying it! we don´t think anymore that taking care of nature will help us also to live in a better way and world! Diana Morse February 13th, 2013 Dear Carmen: I have relatives that are so deep into this wolf controversy. They are all Tea Party Republicans!! Very extreme!! They spread all the anti-wolf propaganda they get their hands on saying the wolves introduced in Idaho and other states are a huge variety of Canadian wolf NOT native to this region. So huge they attack and kill people. They are all diseased and the disease is spreading into humans. They are very political and also spread a lot of political propaganda about the Democratic party. I am a Democrat and have never believed and of this hateful garbage. Ed Michaels February 8th, 2013 First of all learn how to spell. Secondly, every politician follows the money regardless of Republican or Democratic party affiliation. Making this political destroys any credibility you have. We should all focus on the wolves and the agencies doing the damage. Doesn't matter what political party they belong to, it is the people making the decisions and it is to the people we must make our voices heard. Judith Mitchell February 9th, 2013 Well, nice try, Ed Michaels — unfortunately, the record[s] show that 99.9% of politicians who support unwarranted killing of predator species ARE Republicans. It is true here in my adopted state (Maine), where (fortunately for the wolves) we have no viable wolf population, but across the board, it is the Republicans who are responsible for maintaining savage butchery against our coyote population. I have spoken with Democrats in the legislature about this. Republican actions regarding extirpation of predators are based upon ignorance and love of hunting "prey animals" no matter how that upsets the balance of life. If you can give me the names of half-a-dozen Republican legislators who are NOT in favor of wolf-killing, in states that have/had stable wolf populations, I will recant. The ball is in your court. Pointing the finger at political figures does not destroy Carmen Winter's credibility for me. Juliet B February 9th, 2013 It's absolutely true that Republicans tend to be more anti-wolf than Democrats; Idaho, for example, is obviously a very conservative state where many of the politicians and people hate wolves. That aside, however, I definitely think that rather than voting along party lines alone, we should try to support candidates who show an ability to be reasonable, humane, and willing to listen to actual facts rather than outdated myths/preconceptions. Deb Reis February 8th, 2013 Please let those of us who live in Jackson,Wyoming know how we can help. I would be happy to attend a meeting to let electeds know that I care about the future of wolves!!!! Thank you! Deb Reis Reply LInda February 8th, 2013 I agree that the wolves are magnificent, beautiful animals and deserve the right to flourish. How do we get the lawmakers to stop the killing if they ignore people who come to testify? Just vote them all out of office , I guess. Next election, vote against all those in Idaho who did not listen to the populace! Reply carmen winter February 8th, 2013 always interested in this fight, thank you for caring for our world! I do too if there is something to do will be happy to help Reply aznu2me February 8th, 2013 Hmm.. I guess everything is the Republicans fault, however, if I remember correctly Idaho is a Democratic state! Let's continue to make a stand for the wolves as like so many others have written, it's not all the wolves fault that there is so much tension between the ranchers and them. Let the government give the ranchers with livestock the assist they need in order to protect their income source. I get that part of this equation! Let's get our government to provide the grants necessary. Hell, the big corps get to contribute what they owe in taxes each year to allow grants to be given out and then get to write the debt I mean tax owed as a charitable contribution! Reply dourad February 9th, 2013 (A) "Idaho is a Democratic state" Really? Since when? (B) killing wild critters is a rural thing, and very much western habit, regardless of party affiliation. Craig Bunting February 8th, 2013 Last night, I went to Missoula online paper and left a comment. I tore into the state of Montana and their legislative henchmen. I told them I was tired of my taxes going to subsidies for cattle, coal and killing. I'm not going to frack with these politicians in these states anymore. A number of us are forming coalitions to boycott their states, products and services. Making coal obsolete will kill part of their economies, going vegetarian or vegan means less cattle, targeting specific products from these states will diminish their economy. Look for the origins of products, post them boycott them. These henchmen only care about one blood and money. Knock'em down. Reply Lisa February 9th, 2013 Good for you…not that it will do any good, as just witnessed by this article. They passed the proposal anyway. They're still still going to keep killing wolves, the morons! Judith Mitchell February 9th, 2013 GO, CRAIG!!! — I will join any boycott I hear about. We have pretty much given up consumption of "livestock" (e.g., animal) products anyway and use local wood sources for heat. If enough citizens act like you and also, vote these ignorant politicians out of office — maybe wolves, wolverines, bears, coyotes, et.al, will have a far better chance at re-establishing their places in the natural scheme of life's circle. I absolutely applaud you! barbara russell February 8th, 2013 I wish people would get more connected to the truth and facts right in front of them..protection of our natural resources and all its wildlife is the key to the failing ecosystems..each has a place and job to fullfill for the ecosystem..Man has done nothing but destroy to fill thier own agendas and pockets. Sad to have to fight you you thugs and thiefs to save the earth and animals. Walk in the beauty of motherearth..listen to her calls she has so much to teach and you dam thugs have a lot to learn. Reply Justin February 8th, 2013 I wholeheartedly support everything that you're doing and admire you and your colleagues for speaking out against these overzealous hunters and ranchers. Wolves are truly amazing creatures and are extraordinarily important to the Northwest ecosystem as keystone predators. Still, I can't help but feel dismayed and hopeless when these measures pass despite the hard work of people at Defenders of Wildlife (and other conservation groups) and the tens of thousands of dollars raised by people all over the country. This year in particular has been tragic for wolves, with over 1000 dead and many states removing the wolves' much-needed protection as they cave into the powerful lobbyists backed by hunters, ranchers, and oil barons alike. I agree that a grassroots approach is necessary to educate and raise support for these animals within each state, but at what point does the wolf population in the United States dwindle to unsustainable levels? How can we be putting out all this time, money, and effort and yet lose almost every single battle? I love these animals dearly and it breaks my heart to see them persecuted, but do you believe they have any hope? Reply Lisa February 9th, 2013 Agreed..so very sad. kangi February 8th, 2013 the deciders s/b made 2 watch the doc "lords of nature" – it illustrates, very well, the necessity of large predators in the environment (along the lines of the Leopold quote in the comment above) http://lordsofnature.org/ sadly, the deciders had already made up their mind beforehand – I will continue to pray for them… Reply rebecca vitale mandich February 8th, 2013 Unfortunately, the commissioners are hunters. They see these depts as the "big USA hunting club". They are not protecting our wildlife, they are protecting their right to kill anything they want. They are controlled by lobbyist and we will never win until some of these guys leave or get fired, which they never do. The stewardship comes from the top, under Sec of Interior Bruce Babbitt it was a different story. He reintroduced the wolf because he knew their relevance in keeping the ecosystem sustainable as pointed out in the beautiful Also Leopold quote stated earlier.. But these commissioners say kill first and don't ask questions later, must be the wolf's fault. It is at all of our own peril that we allow these folks to continue their draconian reign. There is hope, Sally Jewell has been appointed and may be confirmed. If she brings sanity and scientists back into the fold, we will have a chance to solve our climate change problems as well, because as we know we are all connected in the web called life. Reply Natasha DeMatto February 8th, 2013 Thank you, Suzanne and thanks to all who speak for the wolves. I am blown away by the coordinated attacks and efforts to wipe out the wolf. The taxpayer monies that are being spent on this is staggering. And after the monies and effort spent to bring back the wolf…the disconnect is astounding. I agree, special interests have the ears of elected officials. We must stay angry yet focused in our efforts to be heard above this deafening jingling of money. Reply George Lingo February 8th, 2013 Yep; in fact get rid of the Republican party period! I hate those who sell out their constituants! And I detest the LIES too! Reply Dolores Birt February 8th, 2013 Having owned a wolf I loved,….for him ,I want to do all I can to help their cause. I am a senior and a widow living on S.S.but I am an artist, and I paint beautiful wolves. I am going to start painting them on tiles, and every cent I get is going to the wolves Reply Betsy and David Borthwick February 9th, 2013 Dolores we would love to see some of your paintings if possible. We support Suzanne and all her efforts. We do not live in the U.S.A. so cannot give 'hands on' support, but we follow and support all the efforts being made to protect the wolves. They are beautiful mis-understood creatures. We are just sorry this Bill was passed in spite of all the opposition, which seems to have been made very eloquently. Continue the good work you are doing – it really looks as if you are making some headway. We do wonder, though, if the comment made above about using more high profile methods should be considered too, non violent of course. Thank you for all your efforts. Barbara Bussell February 8th, 2013 I am a republican. I am for the Wolves. I am not wanting any more wolves killed, trapped, and poisioned. It is the Secrectary of the Interior who is for the destruction of Wolves and their packs. Reply Denise February 9th, 2013 During the horror of this wolf slaughter, my heart would be completely broken with out the thousands of people that understand how incredible these creatures are. I don't stand alone. Suzanne Stone February 8th, 2013 Thinking like a Mountain is one of my favorite essays of all time. I first read it 25 years ago just as I was starting to my life's work for wolves. Aldo was one of the first to speak out on behalf of wolves and I often send this essay to those who ask me "What good are wolves?" Thank you Gina for adding it to our discussion. Here it is in its entirety. And to be honest, I can hardly read it without tearing up even though I've read it more than a thousand times. Thinking Like a Mountain By Aldo Leopold A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow, and of contempt for all the adversities of the world. Every living thing (and perhaps many a dead one as well) pays heed to that call. To the deer it is a reminder of the way of all flesh, to the pine a forecast of midnight scuffles and of blood upon the snow, to the coyote a promise of gleanings to come, to the cowman a threat of red ink at the bank, to the hunter a challenge of fang against bullet. Yet behind these obvious and immediate hopes and fears there lies a deeper meaning, known only to the mountain itself. Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf. Those unable to decipher the hidden meaning know nevertheless that it is there, for it is felt in all wolf country, and distinguishes that country from all other land. It tingles in the spine of all who hear wolves by night, or who scan their tracks by day. Even without sight or sound of wolf, it is implicit in a hundred small events: the midnight whinny of a pack horse, the rattle of rolling rocks, the bound of a fleeing deer, the way shadows lie under the spruces. Only the ineducable tyro can fail to sense the presence or absence of wolves, or the fact that mountains have a secret opinion about them. My own conviction on this score dates from the day I saw a wolf die. We were eating lunch on a high rimrock, at the foot of which a turbulent river elbowed its way. We saw what we thought was a doe fording the torrent, her breast awash in white water. When she climbed the bank toward us and shook out her tail, we realized our error: it was a wolf. A half-dozen others, evidently grown pups, sprang from the willows and all joined in a welcoming melee of wagging tails and playful maulings. What was literally a pile of wolves writhed and tumbled in the center of an open flat at the foot of our rimrock. In those days we had never heard of passing up a chance to kill a wolf. In a second we were pumping lead into the pack, but with more excitement than accuracy: how to aim a steep downhill shot is always confusing. When our rifles were empty, the old wolf was down, and a pup was dragging a leg into impassable slide-rocks. We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view. Since then I have lived to see state after state extirpate its wolves. I have watched the face of many a newly wolfless mountain, and seen the south-facing slopes wrinkle with a maze of new deer trails. I have seen every edible bush and seedling browsed, first to anaemic desuetude, and then to death. I have seen every edible tree defoliated to the height of a saddlehorn. Such a mountain looks as if someone had given God a new pruning shears, and forbidden Him all other exercise. In the end the starved bones of the hoped-for deer herd, dead of its own too-much, bleach with the bones of the dead sage, or molder under the high-lined junipers. I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer. And perhaps with better cause, for while a buck pulled down by wolves can be replaced in two or three years, a range pulled down by too many deer may fail of replacement in as many decades. So also with cows. The cowman who cleans his range of wolves does not realize that he is taking over the wolf's job of trimming the herd to fit the range. He has not learned to think like a mountain. Hence we have dustbowls, and rivers washing the future into the sea. We all strive for safety, prosperity, comfort, long life, and dullness. The deer strives with his supple legs, the cowman with trap and poison, the statesman with pen, the most of us with machines, votes, and dollars, but it all comes to the same thing: peace in our time. A measure of success in this is all well enough, and perhaps is a requisite to objective thinking, but too much safety seems to yield only danger in the long run. Perhaps this is behind Thoreau's dictum: In wildness is the salvation of the world. Perhaps this is the hidden meaning in the howl of the wolf, long known among mountains, but seldom perceived among men Reply Gwen P Straub February 8th, 2013 Wolves are magnificent creatures whose noble sensibilities rival our own. We extirpate them to our own peril – and lose of our souls. Reply Gwen P Straub February 8th, 2013 Wolves are magnificent creatures whose noble sensibilities rival our own. We extirpate them to our own peril – and loss of our souls. Reply Marsha February 8th, 2013 I applaud the efforts of Defenders. My question is what is wrong with this country that people are do hell bent on killing? They have successful programs with Anatolian Shepherds and protection of livestock against cheetahs. Why is it that the US response to everything is shooting . And we think we are world leaders? What a bunch of good ol' boy rednecks are elected . What an embarrassment ! Just remember we live in a country that voted for Palin. Talk about a self serving ignorant savage. Good luck but as long ad all the interest groups are a bunch of self serving, trigger happy rednecks , I can't be optimistic . Idaho isn't smart enough for more than potatoes . Reply ava green February 9th, 2013 It's not really necessary to bring such unkind hateful political comments into this. This is about saving wolves, not bashing politicans with whom you have political disagreements. Anne Lewis February 9th, 2013 I agree that many Republicans are allies in this wolf thing. Well O.K., NOT Steve Pearce, but many others. Also wolf-hater Ken Salazar is a Democrat and appointed by Obama. Hopefully Sally Jewell will be better. Reply Lisa February 9th, 2013 It's great there's so many supporters for wolves…but what good does it do if the mornoic fish and game dept in ID passed the proposal anyway?? I'm in tears after reading this story, and I contacted them and asked what's wrong with them. DOW is doing so very much to try to protect the wolves, and none of it's doing any good…it just keeps getting worse…poor wolves. Reply Connie February 9th, 2013 Dolores, Thank you for your wonderful work. Can you tell me where to buy some of your art? you may email me. Connie Reply Jim Salkas February 9th, 2013 The Idaho Fish and Game, along with the anti-wolf governor, are kowtowing to the ID cattle industry and the elk hunters in an attempt to turn Idaho into a game farm. I refuse to travel to Idaho (to visit my brother) until the state amends their ways and let science dictate wolf numbers and range. I am so glad and grateful to those who have bravely attended the public meetings to express support for ALL creatures which belong in our NATIONAL forests. Reply Judith Mitchell February 9th, 2013 "In the beginning of all things, wisdom and knowledge were with the animals, for Tirawa, the One Above, did not speak directly to man. He sent certain animals to tell men that he showed himself through the beast, and that from them, and from the stars and the sun and moon should man learn.. all things tell of Tirawa." -Eagle Chief (Letakos-Lesa) Pawnee Reply Priscilla February 9th, 2013 Loved the article, but I have to agree with Marsha's comments. Idaho heard from loads of advocates and still refused to address the real issues of a balanced wilderness. Political or not, "Idaho is just not smart enough for more than potatos." Since most issues that come up for a vote are politically influenced, we shouldn't be surprised when we sometimes fail. I suggest that all who look for a tangible way to help write their own letters – paper is good, but so are e-mails – to the powers that be in their own states first, other states (like Idaho) next, and federal government entities last. Petitions are always good, but they usually send a single message with many signatures. Personalized messages pack much more meaning, especially to politicians. I've even had some replies – and promptly – offering varying levels of support. I wish all of you success in your personal appeals and certainly our wild brothers on the mountains. Reply Frank Wolf, PhD February 9th, 2013 Hi folks, it is great to hear such support, such impassioned support, for protecting wild wolves. A great deal of my life has been spent studying the wolf and its place as keystone predator, it's vital importance to the overall vitality of every ecosystem it inhabits, and the loss of such vitality with the wolf's absence. However, until you have faced, and faced-off against those who hunt the wolf you have no real understanding the depth of enmity such people possess. Perhaps a partial quote from one Idaho hunter I met in a bar one night might better acquaint you with the mentality we are up against: I don't care about the law, I love to kill things. I don't care about species conservation, I love to kill things. I don't give a damn about you or your opinion, I love to kill things, especially when I make money from selling their fur, teeth, paws, tail, skull. At heart I am a savage beast, and proud of it, I love to kill things. I love the sound of the high powered rifle, and its feel impacting my shoulder almost as much as I love the sight of the slug impacting the wolf, splattering its blood all over the area. It's better than sex for me, I love to kill things. I've been raised by killers, my dad loved to kill things and so did his brothers and all their friends, I love to kill, I live to kill, and there's no better kill than to kill a defenseless wolf, from hundreds of yards away with a weapon he has no defense against; God all mighty, that makes me feel like a real man! Just let me get a wolf-lover alone up in the forest and I'd put him in my cross hairs, too. I love to kill things. Perhaps this is a bit over the top for many of you. However, if we are afraid of facing the core reality of what drives many of those who hunt the wolf then, I fear, we will never prevail…we will not save the wolf from once again being extincted here in the West…that is, perhaps, unless those who persist on hunting the wolf themselves become the hunted… Reply Rick March 18th, 2013 Well put Dan Colbert February 9th, 2013 Look, I've been a supporter and contributor to Defenders and other groups for years. Rounding up supporters for meetings is great..but you see it didn't change the vote. Petitions..nice idea..many of them..not working. Litigation…temporary delays at best. then they are overturned. Two things are clear:1)You are not going to beat these powerful interests and their bought off pols and judges with these tactics alone. 2)Most of the public in non-wolf states has not the faintest idea what is happening ,much less how it is being done. The big national orgs like Defenders need to redirect their money and energy into national ad campaigns depicting very clearly what is happening and the equally horrific nature of it. People need to see the results of leg and neck traps and snares on their tv's while eating dinner and during the local news cast.they need to see what aerial gunning and gassing dens is about. They need to remind people that these are the ancestors of their beloved Fido and Fifi.Buy air time ..speak to community organizations beyond the battleground states. Cause some outrage. The high road ain't workin' fellas. There are @1000 dead wolves and many more to follow. You can't win this without a national stirring of the pot campaign. Until, I see this from the big wildlife and enviro orgs, they will see NO more of my money. Get Serious!!! Reply Thomas Murphy February 10th, 2013 it seems the respectful approach to individual states is not working, the slaughter continues even with very strong opposition. So it looks to be a very political agenda to eliminate the wolves. pressure needs to go to Obama and a collective union of all of these wildlife defense orgs. They need to put the money issue for their individual orgs aside and have a massive movement on this issue or it will go nowhere, the individual states are for the special interest groups such as ranchers and hunters period. Reply xzimppledink February 10th, 2013 I witnessed the rapid rise of prosperity created by Roosevelt's NEW DEAL and as my family came out of survival mode and benefited from the more progressive climate all was well, we grew and began to establish wealth after 10 generations as subsistence farmers. Reaganomics changed all that, we experienced a brief glow from burning our candle at both ends then came the decline.We are financially headed back to depression days of the 30s but have not the family and friends or the land to at least provide subsistence we had at that time. In the 30s we could depend on multigenerational food producing land and social connections. today those are not present and even though we are financially better off we languor in discontent. we were happier on the farm and should never have left it. Reply Suzanne Stone February 11th, 2013 Idaho has heard from wolf supporters only recently and in growing numbers but we are still only the silent majority. Until we can sustain our presence and build our ranks, we are still easily dismissed. This isn't about one or two hearings. It's about every hearing over the next decade and beyond. As Dave Mech so eloquently stated: "If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered. They must be outshouted, out financed, and out voted. Their narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed by an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes." -L. David Mech Reply Rosalind in Scotland February 14th, 2013 I live in Scotland where no wolves now survive.It breaks my heart to read of the wolf massacre happening in the US. Over here we see you Americans as gun toting ignorant imbeciles shooting anything that moves.That is unfair because many are like me.You adore the beauty of nature,the majesty of the wolf. Guns are destroying you. Please,please keep fighting for them. The hunters simply CANNOT win. Rosalind Reply laura February 14th, 2013 I am disappointed and sad to see politics come into this by some commentors. Carmen, Ed, Diana… i have voted republican, i have voted democrat in my life. It has nothing to do with how I value wildlife and natural lands. How individuals are brought up and and taught to value the natural world is what changes a person's opinion of the wild and the awesome wild creatures. You are wrong about party affiliations determining how one values all life and our planet. and i also live in a city now — 5 million people — but my life started in a central rural town in the USA. In all things it's time to stop pigeonholing people and try to just get things accomplished, w/o discrimination and acrimony. Reply Don Lipmanson February 18th, 2013 Wolf restoration seems to require a two-pronged approach. One part of our effort must be to awaken and educate the general public – especially kids – about the spiritual importance of wild lands, occupied by sizable populations of wild prey and predators. Part of this education will require getting people to understand that wolves are pack-dependent, and unlike coyotes or dogs, they cannot overcome high death rates at the hands of humans by more breeding until they refill their ecological niche. The other part of our effort requires focused political action. Along the West Coast, where state wildlife agencies are not entirely captive to the traditional "kill the varmint" mentality of farmer-rancher-hunter coalitions, we should demand and support bold wolf-recovery plans at the state level, including fair compensation for proven loss of livestock to wolves. WA and OR seem to be making progress in this direction, and I assume that approach will also work in CA and New England. For the rest of the country, we must pressure federal executive agencies to support full ESA protection for wolves, with vigorous federal prosecution for killing or otherwise harming wolves. Though wolves are taking terrible hits in a few Northern Rockies states, it's a sign of major progress when OR and WA are arguing about the appropriate number of wolf packs instead of how to wipe them out, and when a lone adolescent could wander across a big stretch of NE California this fall and survive to tell its tale. Reply starr March 15th, 2013 i love wolves and it breaks my heart that they are becoming extinct. i wrote a speech about them and trying to save them.defenders have inspired me sooooo much. Reply Makuye January 28th, 2014 I would here like to respond largely to some comments: Wolf advocates often share the agenda of wildland protection, and as many know the term "keystone species" has to do with the necessity of that species to the ecosystems in which it is an effective part. Wolves are perhaps the quintessential keystone in intact original Northern temperate to subarctic and arctic life systems. While their behavior as apex carnivores is discomforting to some humans, obligate social omnivores that we are, it may be that the continuing human politicization of using lethal power to affect their presence is the main problem with which you are dealing. WHile I have no love for most of republican beliefs, values, or policies, I would like to remind people that Senator John Tester, the MT politician who pushed through the vile rider that prematurely delisted wolves in his and two nearby states was a democrat. The founders of Center for Biological Diversity and the Rewilding Institute, were intimately involved with republican politics in the part of their lives when they began the quest to save large predators, reintroduce, and protect them. For anyone to fall into the trap of regarding wolf protection as politically partisan, is to fall into the strategic trap laid by those who use political parties to do their killing. Whenever you accept rhetoric which defines political parties in an illiquid manner, you are going to lose to those who have developed and play that game far better than you understand it. Please appeal to whatever capacity is visible in each individual whom you encounter or intend to affect. Stereotyping is a heuristic, a generalisation made about behaviors or individuals with which you do not feel important enough to expend your energy, or concerning an issue that you categorise in the same fashion. Instead find those capacities they have for scientific understanding, compassion, or any emotion or cognition that prevents THEM from stereotyping either the Gray Wolf or those with whom they feel they are contending for human social gain. For that is largely what they are doing. You have to turn many people who consider themselves republican or democrat toward their real and deep values. On this subject: Unfortunately people who are met in bars, as the hunter above, use alcohol to avoid the possibility of cognitive/emotional dissonance, and in my now long experience, alcoholics self-medicate for their entire lifetimes, or at least until their neural pathways are so beaten with use that it is unlikely they CAN change what is left of their minds. They have falsely relegated, in this case, the wolf, a highly intelligent, communicative species with capacities and skills far beyond what is commonly known or understood by humans, to a competitive or parasitic or otherwise vilified fictional being. Some of you may have noticed that studies are discovering that other animals have emotions, cognitions, and intelligence and communicative capacities far greater than what has previously presumed by human animals in this particular culture. To some of you: A good scientist will always withhold judgment of such a kind, forever seeking more knowledge. to others: Since we cannot understand any other individual completely, it is important that we do not impose our own assumptions on them. I have been intimate with a wolf for close to a decade, and have met others. I am here to stop the killing of any single individual animals for any purpose except NECESSARY food. I appreciate the passion of Defenders of Wildlife, as the path I walk is one which has allowed me to interact with species of all kinds, and although I do not seek to win through adversarial conflict, I DO seek to help our own kind to return to a cultural reverence for and ultimate respect, if you take issue with use of the word reverence, for every individual life you encounter, even if you must bite that lettuce to live. Can we make a culture with such a quality? Other cultures extant on this continent , were based on exactly this premise. It is more necessary now, than ever before. You can stop the violent overemotionalised hatred of the wolf, which arises from fear and fear of loss in the imaginations/social minds of our kind. But you cannot do so when caught in the recursive traps of this primate mind. You have to step outside, in all ways. Politicians seek specifically to get elected, to gain social power, to be associated with those they believe to have social power. Although their purposes are pursued through keenly evaluating the social value of groups that address them, your only window to change them is one of massively enlarging their natural moral sense. Logic, learning are supports for the positions of the selves they perceive themselves to be. A personal interaction sufficiently profound and meaningful to their lives, is the wondow for which you search. The rest is all strategy to gain cultural change.

Perhaps most famous today as host of an annual music festival, visitors will find that there's a lot more to the town of Glastonbury, set amongst the beautiful Somerset countryside and with a rich historic legacy which is just waiting to be explored.
Glastonbury is home to a number of historic attractions which have become world-famous. On the outskirts of the town stands the legendary Glastonbury Tor, a hill which has been linked with the legend of King Arthur, in addition to many other mythological tales. Atop the Tor, you will find the remains of the Church of St. Michael, which dates back to the 14th century.
Back in the centre of town, one of the most popular attractions for visitors is Glastonbury Abbey. Although all that remains of the abbey today is ruins, it is still an impressive sight and, like the Tor, the building has strong connections with Arthurian legend.
Not surprisingly, for an area so richly immersed in history, there are a number of interesting museums in Glastonbury and the nearby area. The Somerset Rural Life Museum is home to a number of exhibits which tell the story of farming in the area and is well worth a visit. In nearby Sparkford, the largest collection of classic cars in the UK can be found at the Haynes International Motor Museum.
If museums are not really your thing, you'll enjoy browsing the town centre, with its many interesting shops and cafes and exploring the tranquil countryside by foot or on bike.
Search for holiday cottages in Glastonbury today and enjoy a fine location surrounded by a wealth of fascinating history and beautiful countryside.

The Carousel application emerged as one of a series of social media experiments we developed for Google Chrome intended to improve user engagement with their Facebook fans. The carousel application delivers rich content directly into the fan's news feed instead of directing to another page to interact with the content. The experiment worked! Carousel posts nearly doubled fan feedback compared to regular posts and the app has been adopted by a variety of Google products to support their Facebook campaigns.
Fitbit looked to Lift to lead the product development efforts for their mobile web application. Lift specified the application's feature set and coordinated efforts between the front-end visual designers and the back-end developers throughout the build. The application includes food logging, activity tracking, weight logging and top summary stats.View the App
Lift created a series of stop-animation videos featuring the finalists of Google's student-focused Doodle 4 Google campaign. At the end of the videos, users could select their favorite doodle and they were directed to the campaign voting page.
Lift Projects partnered with YouTube to help them bring their site's video content to their fans on Facebook. The result was the Top Videos application.

As a wholesale marketplace for iPhone and iPad apps, AppBackr was faced with the challenge of communicating this novel concept to both application developers and potential investors.
Lift conducted a series of interviews with developers and investors to gain a better understanding of the marketplace. From this research we defined a series of design principles, and used these principles to re-design the purchase experience for potential investors. Our main challenge was presenting the user a lot of complex information in a simple and understandable way. The design accomplished this and helped improve investment click-throughs.
Lift worked closely with Google Chrome's Marketing Team to help them engage, inform and delight their existing Facebook fan-base with a series of innovative projects. The goals of this campaign were to collect learnings about what types of content are best received by Google Chrome fans on Facebook, to experiment with Facebook's sharing mechanisms and engage Google Chrome fans with innovative uses of these mechanisms and to share our learnings from the campaign with the rest of the Google team to assist in future social marketing initiatives.
We're a design & product development studio that excels at getting projects off the ground. From start-ups to Fortune 100 companies, we help our clients define and build their digital product offerings and social media communications.

The concept behind this moisturizer with an in-part avobenzone sunscreen is cell communication. In essence, Lancome wants you to believe that the tiny amount of cell-communicating ingredients in this product can somehow "talk" to your sagging jawline, "telling" it to go back to its original, taut position and somehow stay there. Of course, that isn't possible, and the question of where the excess (loose) skin will go remains unanswered.
There's also the issue that what causes skin to sag and your face to lose volume is a complex process that skin-care products cannot fix. That's why dermal fillers and cosmetic surgery are so integral to improving one's appearance when facial contours shift with age and due to other factors, such as genetics, estrogen depletion, and cumulative sun damage. This product can provide broad-spectrum sun protection, but, for the money, the formula is a resounding disappointment. The small amount of beneficial ingredients (and mind you, there's more coloring agent than anti-aging ingredients in this product) will deteriorate thanks to the jar packaging, and, as mentioned, this cannot re-contour a sagging jawline. Given these facts, the cost is an insult. If you choose to purchase this anyway (though we cannot stress enough what a bad decision that would be), its formula is best for normal to slightly dry skin.
Rénergie Lift Volumetry features the unique GF-Volumetry complex, shown to help support cellular communication. Facial contours appear smooth and firm, giving the jawline a more defined appearance and revealing a more youthful-looking shape.
Active: Avobenzone (3%), Octisalate (5%), Octocrylene (7%), Other: Water, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Sucrose Stearate, Beeswax, Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Yeast Extract, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Hydrolyzed Linseed Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Red 33, Phenoxyethanol, Stearic Acid, Adenosine, Acetyl Tetrapeptode-9, Argania Spinosa Kernel Extract, Vigna Aconitfolia Seed Extract, Ethylparaben, Silica, Yellow 5, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Limonene, Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylate/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Geraniol, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Ocatadecendoic Acid, Citronellol, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Coumarin, Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate
French flair, free gifts with purchase, constant magazine ads, and attractive packaging impel women to seek out the Lancome counter. Once you're there, though, unless you're captured by the enticing claims, the skin-care products are resoundingly dull, and we mean really, really dull (the makeup is a different story). With new research and developments in skin care many cosmetics companies typically improve their formulas, even if just in a small way. That's not the case with Lancome, which tends to raise their prices while producing lackluster, ordinary formulas with little benefit for skin.
Even more shocking is that their most expensive skin-care items tend to be the most disappointing, usually for what they lack rather than for what they contain. It's startling to realize that their priciest moisturizer is remarkably similar to dozens of other Lancome creams priced more reasonably (but still too high when you consider what you're getting for the money). It seems that all it takes to justify the excessive prices is a good story based around a rare ingredient and claims of delivering a younger look. What a shame so many consumers are taken in by this kind of marketing mumbo jumbo.
L'Oreal-owned Lancome, along with L'Oreal's own skin-care products sold at the drugstore, has fallen well behind their competition. For all their lofty claims and beautiful models, many other companies leave them in the dust. Most of the Lauder companies (Clinique, Estee Lauder), along with Dove, and Olay have skin-care formularies that consistently outperform those of Lancome and L'Oreal in terms of what substantiated research has shown is necessary to have healthy, more wrinkle- and age-resistant skin. Lancome claims to understand women, and they certainly know how to entice them with pretty packaging and scientific-sounding claims. It would be far better if they had an intimate understanding of what it really takes for skin to look its best and function optimally.
The biggest improvement Lancome has made is that almost all of their sunscreens now include the right UVA-protecting ingredients. Who knows why it took them so long to get this straightened out (L'Oreal is no stranger to this issue, as they have developed and patented new UVA filters throughout the years), but it is now easier than ever to find a reliable sunscreen from Lancome. Given their prominence and presence in department stores around the world, Lancome isn't easy to ignore. My suggestion is to look beyond most of the skin care and focus on what they do best: makeup (especially foundations and mascaras).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all Lancome products contain fragrance.
For more information about Lancome, owned by L'Oreal, call (800) 526-2663 or visit www.lancome.com.
Lancome Makeup
L'Oreal-owned Lancome is a stellar, French-bred collection of makeup that remains the best reason to shop this line. Because most of Lancome's skin-care products have problematic elements (be it jar packaging, insufficient sun protection, or dated formulas), it is a relief to find that, for the most part, the colorful side of their business has more than its share of innovative products. We enjoyed the fact that no matter where we shopped, Lancome's counter personnel were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. There's a lot to keep track of, and Lancome deserves credit for keeping their salespeople so well informed.
If you're looking for a force to reckon with for foundations, Lancome is a must-see. They continue to offer some of the most elegant, silky formulas anywhere and in a color range that is overwhelmingly neutral, whether your skin is porcelain or ebony. The only troubling aspect is that most of Lancome's foundations with sunscreen do not contain adequate UVA protection or the SPF rating is too low. Lancome obviously knows about the risks with these issues (after all, they market ecamsule, their version of the UVA-protecting ingredient Mexoryl SX, and brag about its UVA range). And considering that, we are not recommending as many of their foundations as we have in previous editions of this book. Beyond this major gripe, you will discover that Lancome has a well-deserved reputation for their fantastic mascaras, and that their latest powders and eyeshadows apply with a silkiness that makes them gratifying to work with. The rest of the makeup encompasses many valid choices, but before you commit to Lancome, consider the similar options available for less from sister companies L'Oreal and Maybelline New York. Striking a balance among the best of each of these lines will give you first-class makeup that beautifies without breaking the bank.
Note: Lancome is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Lancome does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Planting Rabbiteye Blueberry Bushes
How To Plant Rabbiteye Blueberries
1. Blueberries grow best in soil pH from 4.5 to 5.5. Sulfur powder acidifies the soil, while ammonium sulfate acidifies and fertilizes the soil. Because Rabbiteye blueberries are especially sensitive to fertilizer, use sulfur powder to adjust soil pH.
2. It's best to plant Rabbiteye blueberries in a row that runs north and south to ensure the bushes receive full sun. Plant individual bushes at least 5 feet apart since the diameter of a mature Rabbiteye blueberry could reach 5 feet. Allow at least 10 feet between rows for transporting mulch to the plants.
3. Break up the root ball of Rabbiteye blueberries grown in containers before planting in new ground. Prune the tops back with pruning shears to between 6 and 12 inches in height, removing no more than half the top growth.
4. Dig holes larger than root ball to allow for expansion of roots but keep plant close to top of row for water drainage. Mix the excavated soil with 1 to 2 gallons of peat. The amount of peat needed depends on the quality of the soil. Use more for heavy clay and less for sandy loam. Mound the peat and soil mix in the hole to make a base for the bush's roots. Spread the roots and set the plant at the same depth it grew in the container. Layer more soil mix in the hole and press firmly around the roots. Water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
Tips and Warnings: Don't overfertilize. Since new plants could be killed by fertilizer applications, use none in the first year. Second-year plantings could benefit from two applications during the growing season. Since the right amount depends upon soil type and age of plants, consult your county extension agent for specialized advice.
Things You'll Need: Shovel, Peat, Pruning shears

Dropping their fifth match vs. a NESCAC rival this season, the Cardinals fell to 12-5 on the year following a 9-0 setback vs. #240ranked nationally Trinity Thurs., April 12. The match, during which the team's lone senior Robert Troyer '12 (main photo) was recognized for his contributions to the squad over his four years, began outdoors but before a doubles point could be played, wet weather forced the match to be moved indoors.
Troyer teamed with Jonathan Coombs '15 at #3 doubles and fell by an 8-4 count in the tightest decision in doubles play. In singles action, Stephen Monk '15 (photo insert lower left) took his opening set handily at #2, 6-1, but fell in the second set, 6-4. Playing a super tie-breaker to decide the match as Trinity had already clinched the match with five team points, Monk lost by an 11-9 score. No other Cardinal managed a set victory vs. his Bantam opponent.
Wesleyan will head to NESCAC foe Hamilton Sun., April 15 in search of its initial conference win of the year. Last year, the Continentals ended Wesleyan's undefeated status vs. Hamilton by winning for the first time in nine all-time matches, 5-4.

The first mining accident of the year in Kentucky injures a Leslie County man.
Fourty-three-year-old Samuel H. Melton, of Wooten was installing a ventilation curtain, when a piece of draw rock fell from between roof bolts, striking him in the head.
The accident happened at about 9:55 a.m. ET, Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007, in the Blue Diamond Coal Company Number 74 Mine in Perry County.
Melton was airlifted to Holston Valley Hospital in Kingsport, Tennessee.
The Kentucky Office Of Mine Safety And Licensing calls this a "serious" accident and has closed the mine to investigate.
Eighteen miners died in Kentucky coal mines in 2006, the worst death toll since 1993.

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.
