After 90 days, the Premier League is back and this year it
promises to be bigger than ever. In this article I'll be reviewing some of the
key talking points from the opening weekend of the 2013-14 Premiership season.
Newcomers fail to take a single point from opening day:
Oscar dos Santos
The newly promoted teams- Cardiff City, Crystal Palace and Hull City- failed to make a surprising impact in the opening round of fixtures as the Premier League entered matchday one. Cardiff and Hull were both beaten 2-0 by West Ham and Chelsea respectively, while Palace narrowly lost 1-0 to Tottenham.
Big spenders Cardiff City, who spent over £26 million ahead of their first term in the Premier League, failed to register a shot on target against West Ham as the London side made easy work of getting the three points.
Crystal Palace, favourites for relegation ahead of the new season, gave a good account of themselves on their return to top-flight football. They more than held their own against a strong Tottenham side. Spurs ran out as 1-0 winners after referee Mark Clattenburg awarded Tottenham a penalty after he adjudged Dean Moxey to have used his hand to block Aaron Lennon's cross. Although Roberto Soldado converted the penalty after his stuttering run sent Julian Speroni the wrong way, the Palace players, who nearly drew level through Kagisho Dikgacoi thunderous shot, gave a very good account of themselves.
Hull City met Chelsea on Sunday and, after Oscar and Frank Lampard scored for Chelsea on the 13th and 25th minutes respectively, it looked as though the Tigers were going to be in for a long day. Chelsea should have perhaps had more goals as they dominated the match in terms of possession and shots, as well as corners and pass success rate. Before Oscar grabbed a goal for the Blues, Chelsea had the chance to go ahead through a penalty, but Lampard's spot-kick was well saved by Hull's new number one Allan McGregor. Hull played a lot better in the second half and I am sure, once they settle back into life in the Premiership, they will be no pushovers.
Swans crumble against United:
Swansea made a terrible start to the season, falling to a 4-1 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday. Last season, the Welsh side looked strong on the opening day, beating QPR 5-0, however United cruised to victory at the Liberty Stadium.
The Swans started the match well, however two goals from Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck in as many minutes turned the match in United's favour.
Recently appointed Manchester United manager David Moyes will be happy with the winning start as he looks to guide the Red Devils to retaining the Premier League title.
Penalties are plentiful, but did the referees get the decisions right?
The opening nine fixtures saw six penalties awarded. Some decisions were straight forward but, as always, there were contentious verdicts as well.
Starting with Liverpool v Stoke, it is hard to argue that Martin Atkinson was wrong in awarding Stoke a penalty after Daniel Agger's hand ball in the area. Even the most die-hard Liverpool fan could not squirm out of the fact that Agger's arm was raised purposely to block a Stoke City free-kick. Correct decision.
Now to the match between West Brom and Southampton, where a penalty decision was given in the Saints' favour in the 90th minute. The penalty was given after Youssouf Mulumbu brought Luke Shaw down in the box. By this stage in the game, I would imagine the players will have been a bit leggy and this showed as Mulumbu's lazy tackle failed to make contact with the ball but did trip Shaw. Correct decision.
In the game between Arsenal and Aston Villa, two penalties were awarded and, much to the horror of Gunners fans, referee Anthony Taylor awarded both the spot-kicks to Villa. The first penalty was given after Gabriel Agbonlahor's fantastic run was brought to an abrupt end by Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. In my opinion, this first decision was a penalty as Szczesny failed to make contact with the ball, instead flying through Agbonlahor and blocking him off. I also believe the referee made the right decision to only hand a caution to Szczesny as Agbonlahor was running away from goal at the time of the incident. Penalty #1: correct decision.
The second penalty, given in the 60th minute of the match, was far more debatable. It was not clear cut at all, however Laurent Koscielny seemingly brought down Christian Benteke in the Arsenal box. This decision is one of those that Aston Villa fans will tell you is a penalty and Arsenal fans will tell you isn't, however I am going to agree with the referee as, although Koscielny made slight contact with the ball, his trailing foot actually caught Benteke before he touched the ball. Penalty #2: a hard decision but, in my opinion, a correct decision.
Sunday's match between Crystal Palace and Tottenham saw Spurs win 1-0 after they were awarded a penalty in the 50th minute. The penalty, given by referee Mark Clattenburg, was awarded due to an apparent hand ball by Dean Moxey. However, Palace boss, Ian Holloway, was less than impressed with this spot-kick decision, claiming he "couldn't see how he (Moxey) could have got out of the way of it (the ball)". Perhaps it was a bit harsh because of the proximity of the ball and where the defender was stood, however Moxey shouldn't have had his arm outstretched so the referee was left with no choice. Again, a hard decision but another correct one in my view.
The final penalty was awarded to Chelsea in their match against newly promoted Hull City. There can be no argument from Hull over this decision, which was made after the Tigers' goalkeeper Allan McGregor, trying to punch the ball away, caught Fernando Torres who was pummelled to the ground. Correct decision.
Arsenal fans left frustrated by opening day defeat:
For the first time in a long time, fans of Arsenal were promised a busy summer in the transfer window. The board revealed they were willing to stretch their purse strings and give Arsene Wenger the opportunity to bring in some fresh, highly-rated players to spearhead the Gunners' Premier League campaign. However, much to the dismay of the fans, just one player has arrived: Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre on a free transfer.
I could easily spend a whole section of this article talking about Arsenal's spending policies and the pitfalls of the fact 17 players have left the club and only one player has been brought in, but I won't because, as always, it's the same story and would be rather monotonous.
The fact of the matter is that Arsenal were outshone and outclassed by a young, enthusiastic and hungry Aston Villa side. Arsenal looked lethargic and sloppy, with even Jack Wilshere's passes going wayward.
With injuries to ten players, including Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen, and with Koscielny being suspended, Arsenal need to spend and they need to do it quickly.
Simon Mignolet makes memorable debut:
Over £400,900,000 has been spent by Premier League clubs in this season's summer transfer window, which meant there was a lot of new talent on the pitch in the opening round of top-flight fixtures.
Antonio Luna, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Wilfried Bony and Roberto Soldado all scored on their Premier League debuts, however the highly-anticipated return of Nicolas Anelka turned out to be slightly disappointing as he had little opportunity to shine in West Brom's match against Southampton.
Fulham's new goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg was very impressive against Sunderland, making numerous saves to deny the Black Cats frontmen. However, the title of most memorable debut should probably go to Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
Mignolet, who was signed by the Reds from Sunderland for £9 million, made a nervous start to his Anfield career but, once the nerves had passed after 20 minutes or so, he settled in nicely. The highlight of his first match in the Liverpool goal was his match-winning double save on the 89th minute, when he first saved Jon Walters' penalty and then denied Kenwyne Jones from the rebound.
Yet again Toffees fail to unstick Hughton:
Norwich boss Chris Hughton guided his side to a 2-2 draw against Everton in their opening match of the 2013-14 season. This result means the Canaries manager is unbeaten in all six of his matches against the Toffees.
However, it was not all plain sailing for Hughton as at one point Everton went 2-1 ahead, before debutant Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored a 71st minute equaliser.
Noticeable chemistry between Liverpool's attacking trio:
Saturday's early kick-off saw Stoke travel to Anfield to face a much fancied Liverpool team. The Reds, who have bolstered their squad by signing Iago Aspas, Luis Alberto, Simon Mignolet and Kolo Toure this summer, outshone Stoke throughout with their new found neat, flowing and creative style of football.
Although only managing to score once and despite a penalty scare late on, Liverpool looked relatively comfortable as they shook off Stoke City.
Spearheading a fantastic attacking performance was the front trio of Iago Aspas, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho. As usual, Coutinho was a class act, instigating many of Liverpool's attacks. Sturridge was once again outstanding, scoring the winning goal on 37 minutes after he had an earlier effort correctly ruled out for offside. Aspas was tireless as he made numerous runs in behind the Potters' defence, while also playing eluding one-twos with his fellow forwards.
Overall, the Merseyside club made a great impression and if the front three of Sturridge, Coutinho and Aspas carry on connecting like they did, Luis Suarez may not walk straight back into Brendan Rodgers' starting eleven.
What did you make of Arsenal's defeat? Where do you think Liverpool will finish after an impressive display? Got any other Premier League talking points?

How to build a road
Call it an expressway. Don't mention it's a toll road.
Tell the folks it's a private/public partnership. Don't discuss the taxpayers' portion of the deal.
Announce to Hoosiers it will reduce traffic on the Borman. Don't mention it will only be cut by 8 percent after 24 years.
Brag about the need for improved infrastructure. Don't mention our current crumbling roads and bridges.
Claim it's only a few people who are against the "Road of Dreams." Don't mention the thousands of names on petitions against the "Road to Nowhere."
The Illiana Toll Road proposal is being pushed by politicians who have been stuffing their campaign coffers with money from both corporate and union honchos who have a vested interest in this boondoggle moving forward. The big losers in this game of "shuffling the money" will be Indiana taxpayers. We are co-signors on the biggest con-game since the destruction of the Kankakee Marsh and Beaver Lake. Not enough people spoke up then. Will history repeat itself?

Is Merrill Edge Safe and Legitimate Brokerage Firm? Is Merrill Edge/Lynch a Scam? Are Your Money, Assets and Investments Insured?
We are often being asked these questions: Is Merrill Edge safe to use, to keep my money, assets and investments? Is Merrill Edge/Lynch account SIPC/FDIC insured? The short answer - it's a legitimate online broker created by Merrill Lynch. However, Merrill Lynch was saved from bankruptcy by Bank of America during financial crisis of 2008. The company has some issues - you can read our review and user comments in
2014 Merrill Edge Review
Merrill Edge/Lynch is a member of FINRA/SIPC. FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority - http://www.finra.org/) is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. Its chief role is to protect investors by maintaining the fairness of the U.S. capital markets.
SIPC (The Securities Investor Protection Corporation - http://www.sipc.org/) either acts as trustee or works with an independent court-appointed trustee in a missing asset case to recover funds. The statute that created SIPC provides that customers of a failed brokerage firm receive all non-negotiable securities that are already registered in their names or in the process of being registered. SIPC is an important part of the overall system of investor protection in the United States. While a number of federal, self-regulatory and state securities agencies deal with cases of investment fraud, SIPC's focus is both different and narrow: restoring funds to investors with assets in the hands of bankrupt and otherwise financially troubled brokerage firms.
It means that Merrill Edge brokerage accounts are insured by the government in case of brokerage firm failure, very similarly to the way bank accounts are insured by the FDIC. The insurance is limited to $500,000 per customer, including up to $250,000 for cash.
Merrill Edge BBB (Better Business Bureau) rating: F
Total Closed Complaints - 2: Problems with Product/Service - 2, Advertising/Sales Issues - 0, Billing/Collection Issues - 0, Delivery Issues - 0, Guarantee / Warranty Issues - 0.

This afternoon I completed sewing up the Prairie pillow. I had to make a time equation that was really interesting. When I lived in Chicago, I would have shopped for the backing fabric & trim and easily found something that would enhance the tapestry face. Here in southern Indiana, I realized I could easily spend a day looking for fabric, and not find it; also it takes 45 minutes each way to drive into Evansville to begin the search! So I hand-wove the backing as well as the fabric for the welting, and came out about the same in time, with superior results. So here you have it: wool twill brocade pillow face, wool twill backing & handmade welting. Voila!

weaving a prairie
I was commissioned recently to produce a very special tapestry pillow based on prairie flowers. I cut it off the loom today, and will weave the backing fabric on Monday. Here's how it looked on the loom; the second photo is after cutting it off and blocking it. The finished pillow will be 16" square.

I've narrowed down my new wheelset choice to these two companies.
Does anyone have any experience with these wheels?
So far, this is what I have learned, from posts.
Easton Hubs are not durable, customer service is not the best, turn around times are lengthy.
Easton Carbons are UST certified!
Inner width is 19mm
Can use wheels up to 2.3"
ENVE has great reviews and great customer service. I would go with the DT 240s Hubs, knowing they are amazing, still on my Titus for over 7 years and working great.
ENVE Rims need a conversion kit to make them tubeless ready.
Inner width is 18mm. Can use wheels up to 2.2"
I'm leaning toward ENVE, even though they need Gorilla tape to make them tubeless ready.
I am a XC/Trail rider. Will be going on an Ibis Mojo SL.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It was a paradox when, during the depths of the economic downturn in 2009 as meetings business was dropping off rapidly, the number of requests for proposal coming to InterContinental Hotels Group was increasing dramatically, says Stephen Powell, senior vice president, worldwide sales, at IHG in Atlanta.

I don't get gear often these days and when I do it's usually used or on sale. I'll admit that most of the reason is I can't pass up a good deal and I have just about everything I need - mostly things these days are impulse buys or "I'll find a use for that". I am not however a cheapskate. I pay fair prices for the stuff I get - a deal on both sides. If however it is some crack addict who is hawking his gear for cheap... better me than someone else.
Anyways, I'm a bit of an expert shopper. There are people who are bad at selling stuff. I'm going to list my biggest peeves right here, right now.
I'm sure there's more, fill me in on what irks you about b/s/t. I mean, besides when people say "irks".

How Investors Weigh the Murphy Oil Split
by Lance Turner
Posted 10/26/2012 10:29 am
Updated 2 years ago
Arkansas Business' Luke Jones had reported throughout the year that Murphy Oil Corp. of El Dorado was considering another spin off, this time eyeing is promising retail gas station operation that's sprung up in Wal-Mart parking lots throughout the country.
Now it's happening. So what's an investor to make of it? It's Murphy Oil more valuable for the move, and is the new Murphy Oil USA Inc. gas station company worth a buy?
Investment pundits already pontificating, citing positive precedents set by Phillips 66 and Marathon Petroleum, both of which made similar moves recently.
And while the spinoff should strengthen Murphy Oil Corp. as a standalone exploration and production firm, the future is more hazy for the new gas station company:
For Murphy Oil shareholders, the spin-off seems like a no-brainer. The firm will be a strong independent E&P firm with some quality assets, especially those in the Eagle Ford shale. Production there continues to be swift , with strong across both dry gas and natural gas liquids. In the first six months of this year, Murphy's E&P business had net income of $552 million. Not too shabby.
The Murphy USA spin-off, however, might be a little more difficult to value.
The unit currently owns and operates 140 stand-alone retail locations as well as 1,000 mini-service plazas at Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) stores. Second-quarter earnings for the segment showed problems in the division as margins and volumes remain depressed.
The second issue is, unlike MPC and PSX, Murphy Oil has no refineries. There's plenty of pipelines and few terminals to be had, but zero actual crude "crackers." Investors won't be getting exactly the same thing that the Conoco and Marathon deals offered.
The new company is set to debut in early 2013.

I say if you care to because really the game can just be beaten by running up and laying the hurt on fools with your sword. Mini Ninjas tasks you with the usual ninja goal of stop the ancient evil, but along the way you also save four of your ninja friends. Once saved, each ninja can be switched to on the fly, and their unique talents can be applied however you wish. See, it was really the varying ways of dispatching the "evil guards" that kept me the most interested. I never grew tired of sneaking about, laying out traps, and keeping the AI tripping all over itself trying to figure out what i was up too.
The levels are each mini open worlds, most haveing multiple routes to the exit gate.
The weakest point for me, was the boss battles. All except the final boss has a set pattern you need to expose, then active time button prompts walk you through the rest. Wash, rinse, repeat three times, and another one bites the dust. I am also sick of collectibles in games, and this one tasks you to find quite a few if you want all the achievements.
I gave this game a nine out of ten because in the end fun won over frustration. A solid rent.

the characters are varied, although i've found myself going back to a few of them and completely forgetting about the others. the boss battles are entertaining as a novelty (pushing buttons during interactive cut-scene) but sneaking into the castles before the boss fights were the highlight of the game for me.
each levels designed as a mini-sandbox, theirs atlest 2paths to take to get to the end of every level. however theirs tons of places to explore off the beaten path, and the collecting achievments make the level exploration a necessity.
a fun game to play through, when it goes down in price ($15) i'll probably buy it to finish up the collecting achievments.
Great Funn!!!

Along the way you will rescue your ninja friends, all which are playable at anytime once unlocked. Each character has his or her own unique special move and comes in handy for different situations. The controls for the game are fantastic. You can access frequently used items and weapons from a quick select wheel by pressing and holding the RB button, and you have your character selection on the same style selection wheel by pressing LB.
You can collect plants and other things to use as ingredients to make your own potions such as health. The game has alot of depth to it and is very fun and addicting to play. Great controls, great story, great graphics, and a blast to play. I highly recommend this game. Sometimes its great to get away from the ultra violent and realistic games and go back to something that you will enjoy and take your mind off the everyday troubles of life.Have fun!!

What won't you like? We'll, it's rated E10 for a reason. My young girls love the game, and so might yours, but your older boys may not fiind it as appealing. The controls are not tight as the developers thought using the "a" button to jump and interact with items was a good idea.
Overall, if you like Mario and Zelda, you'll probably like this.

You start off with one ninja but along the way you find/rescue 4 more to bring your party to five. Sounds nice in theory but for the most part there's no reason to use anyone other than Hiro, whom you start with. The only reason to use the others is for their respective achievements. Hiro's power attack (Y button) far outclasses all of the others', especially once you level up some.
As with any game, this one is not without its faults. The camera for the most part behaves nicely, controlled with the RS. There are some places (namely the second to last level) where the camera can go a bit wonky which can really screw up the platforming. Next, sometimes (namely when trying to jump a gap) it seems like the controls are late to register (and this you plummet to your demise.) The variety of enemies.. well.. there is -no- variety. You'll be fighting the same guys the entire way through.
There are 5 bosses to be dealt with amongst the 20-some-odd levels and all but the last boil down to quick time events. While some of them are... imaginative.. I found myself just not having fun with them. I'll chalk that up to this being E10+ though.
The art is nice but not breathtaking. The story is basically nonexistent. It's your basic "Evil has resurfaced, go vanquish it!" scenario. Why can't evil ever stay dead anyway?
All in all it's a quirky little game that'll keep you well occupied for 15 hours, but is only worth a rental.

Pure Entertainment - Worth a Rent for All Ages

Nonetheless, this game is amazingly entertaining - one of two games released in 2009 I couldn't stop playing until completion (Prototype being the other).
Those who played one level and called it a Zelda: Wind Waker ripoff are dead-wrong. The cel-shaded graphics are reminiscent, and your health is represented by hearts. That's the extent of the similarities.
The easy-to-learn control scheme helps the game immensely, as it is very easy to master the mechanics in a short period of time. The characters will keep you slashing away at the oppressive samurai of the realm - midway through the game you will have all characters unlocked, each of whom has a unique ability/weapon - the protagonist wields a standard katana and can possess animals (any animal you see you can control) through Kuji magic - the subsequent characters unlocked wield a hammer, flute, bow, claws (think Weapon X + ninja), and a spear. You can change characters on the fly, even in battle, creating a somewhat strategic element to the fighting (i.e., the ninja with the hammer is good for large groups, the bow-ninja good for eliminating enemies at a distance, etc.)
Again this is a very simple game with zero plot twists and easily-mastered gameplay. But imagine a fun-factor on the level of the LEGO games, with similar humor. I'm 26 years old, and I absolutely loved it - it's not just for kids - but they'll love it, too. It's nearly impossible to "lose".
If you're into achievements/trophies, they're quite easy to obtain. 15 hours tops to acquire them all.
Great game for a rental, incredibly fun, but not worth a buy. Hope this helps!

Good Family Fun

Good: The general game play is fun. Its innocent humor but not cheesey. You free ninjas with different abilities as you progress and meet different types of enemies with different abilities, but you do get new abilities yourself. It has a cliche storyline but its still a good one.
Bad: The gameplay is repeatative. You got through a few stages, go through a castle, and kill a boss. Repeat 4 times and you win.
Ugly: The only hugely bad thing is that glitchyness of it all. The animal and Tengu acheivements are glitched. If you want thehm (totaling 140 between the 2) you should research on what not to do so you can complete these without hassle.

A)Achievements are insanely glitchy. I was VERY fortunate to walk away with 1k. You can't replay any levels or it fries the achievements, and half of them don't record half the time. This took way more time than it needed to.
B)The camera angles for what is essentially a 3d platformer are inexcusably bad. Several times I had to redo levels 3 to 4 times because the camera self-adjusted at the point I was moving and caused me to fall into various chasms etc. Excruciatingly annoying.
The game is horridly easy however. Even on "hard" level, it was more or less a joke to burn through. It is 1000% not a purchase on any measure, and I would only suggest renting this if you have an absolute love in your heart of hearts for 3d platforming (which I obviously don't). Even then, there probably should be at least 10 games ahead of this in your queue.

Valerie Plame calls CIA the 'world's largest dating agency'on October 7, 2013 @ 10:57 am (Updated: 12:17 pm - 10/7/13 )
So it's not a huge surprise that former CIA spy Valerie Plame, famously outed during the Bush Administration, has drawn attention for calling the CIA 'the world's largest dating agency.'
Before you start imagining torrid love affairs reminiscent of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," know this: It has more to do with understanding the complications that come with a career in the CIA, and less about meeting as secret agents and keeping your secret identity, well, a secret.
"I think it's probably akin to actors tending to have relationships with other actors because it is a rather strange universe," she told KIRO Radio's Dave Ross. "Being in the CIA is a unique career with pressures and challenges that it's best if someone is inside and understands that."
Plame has written a book-turned movie about her life after resigning from the CIA when her cover was blown. She's now dipping into the world of fiction and has a new book called "Blowback," about a covert CIA ops officer.

Pakistan to speed up Iran gas pipeline
In Video, Militant Group Claims Attacks in Western China
A pair of suicide bombers killed 24 people in Quetta, including the wife of the deputy commander of Baluchistan Frontier Corps. The Taliban claimed it carried out the attack because the Frontier Corps captured al Qaeda leader Younis al Mauritani.
Plane from Pakistan to UK forced to land after bomb threat
US Treasury lists 3 senior al Qaeda leaders as terroristsThe al Qaeda leaders were identified as Younis al Mauritani, a senior member of the external operations council who was recently arrested in Pakistan; Hassan Ghul, a key facilitator who was freed by the Pakistanis in 2007; and Abu Yahya al Libi, a top ideologue.
Appeal denied for HIG facilitator detained at GitmoThe DC Circuit Court denied a Guantanamo detainee's appeal yesterday. The detainee, Shawali Khan, was a facilitator for Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin prior to his capture in 2002. According to a leaked file, Khan's cell in Kandahar received weapons and other support from Iran.

Suicide bombers kill 24 Pakistanis in QuettaThe attack took place just two days after the Pakistani military announced it arrested Younis al Mauritani, a senior member of al Qaeda's external operations council, in Quetta. The Frontier Corps, which was the target of the suicide attack, was involved in the raid that netted Mauritani.
The Pakistani Taliban demanded the release of its prisoners and the disbandment of anti-Taliban lashkars in exchange for the release of 27 boys kidnapped last week. The doctor who aided the CIA in conducting DNA tests in an attempt to find Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad has been barred from leaving the country.

Critic Rolls His Eyes at Rosario Dawson's NYT Character
Though relatively limited, the pantheon of New York Times reporters committed to film and TV has included such memorable characters as Sam Waterston's Sydney Schanberg in 1984′s The Killing Fields and Matt Borner's Felix Turner in this year's HBO drama The Normal Heart.
Another NYT movie reporter is about to hit the big screen, via Chris Rock's Top Five. But according to Grantland's Wesley Morris, this newsroom derivation is memorable for entirely different reasons:
Rock stars as Andre Allen, a recovering alcoholic and comedy star being trailed by the least-likely-ever culture reporter for the New York Times. It's not that she's played by Rosario Dawson. It's that the plot twist around her character doesn't make ethical sense. Together, they visit his New York universe and hers (she's in recovery, too)…

All-in-One Cleansing Foam is a good water-soluble cleanser for normal to oily skin, but would be rated higher if it did not contain witch hazel bark, leaf, and twig extract. The amount is not likely cause for concern, but why include it at all?
A deep cleaning, non-stripping cleanser that works on all skin types and fights blemishes by going deep into pores to help dissolve bacteria, waxy plugs and blackheads before they get to the surface. The careful balance of ingredients is key to this state-of-the-art formulation. It cleanses and removes impurities without over-drying the skin. It even tones and removes eye makeup!
Water, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Tetrasodium EDTA, Chlorphenesin, Phytic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate
As you may have gleaned from the name, dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross created this skin-care line. Based in New York City, he claims that all of his products provide "maximum results without side effects," a statement any doctor should know better than to make. For instance, a consumer would logically assume, especially coming from a doctor, that "maximum results" means the products in question really will firm, lift, tighten, plump, or peel the skin. But Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products don't provide maximum results, not in the least, and definitely not in any of the ways suggested by the marketing copy. In fact, although Gross includes some very impressive ingredients in his products, they cannot make good on the most enticing claims he makes for them.
As for the promise of "no side effects," that is easily refuted with a simple overview of his underachieving products. A quick summary: lavender oil can cause skin-cell death, sulfur is extremely irritating and drying to skin, ascorbic acid can be sensitizing, as can retinol, and the synthetic active sunscreen agents he uses can also present their share of problems. That's not to say that all of these ingredients are bad for skin (only the sulfur and lavender oil qualify for that description), but it's foolish to make a blanket statement that your cosmeceutical-type products are free of side effects. How could he possibly know what a person may react to?
Gross also asserts that he uses cutting-edge technology in his products, a point which I concede given the number of superior moisturizers and serums he offers, all of which compete nicely with other well-formulated products. His products are expensive, but if you're going to spend a lot of money on skin-care products, you should be purchasing state-of-the-art formulas, and these do rate. Of course, this technology (read: efficacious ingredients) doesn't extend to every Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product, but overall this is one line whose formulas have improved considerably since the previous edition of this book, and that is excellent news!
Several of the products in this line contain emu oil. While there is research indicating that emu oil is a good emollient that can help heal skin, it is not that different from other oils that offer the same benefit, such as grape or olive or even mineral oil for that matter (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology, August 1996, pages 159–161).
Last, please ignore the tired claim that these products are your alternative to surgical procedures and that they use medical-grade ingredients. Concerning the latter, there is no such thing; Gross uses the same cosmetic and over-the-counter active ingredients found throughout the cosmetics industry. And although his line offers some remarkable products, none of them can provide results equivalent to Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments (and definitely not a face-lift).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all MD Skincare products are fragrance-free.
For more information about Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, call (888) 830-7546 or visit the Web site at www.dgskincare.com.
NOTE: In Spring 2010, MD Skincare became Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare.
I just don't understand this product when there are so many outstanding ones in the Dr. Dennis Gross line of products. I use so many of them--the Alpha Beta pads, Age Erase Moisture for Eyes, Tinted Moisturizer, plus the All-in-One Facial Cleanser with Toner. All of these products are outstanding--they have really changed the appearance of my 60+-year-old skin (I started in my 50's). The foaming cleanser doesn't seem to do anything, and it certainly doesn't budge my washable eye makeup.

Compelling mystery, well written. I could have done without the 'romance scenes', turned a perfectly good mystery into chicklit - and the involved male wasn't appealing at any rate.
Another good book by Ms.Brown.Full of suspense, twists and turns, and sexual tension between Denton and Bellamy-it all makes for an impossible to put down book.
This was a very good story. I would read another of her books.
This is one of Sandra Brown's best books yet! I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading it. Gives you a lot of murder suspects and was hard to figure out who the murderer was.
A great book that I couldn't put down. I was excited to read this book and was not disappointed by it. I highly recommend it.
Excellent story. Even though the ending was predictable,one can not stop reading. Just shows what a great story teller the author is..
One very great aspect of Sandra Brown is her writing is based on realistic facts & factors. I really enjoy her writing...

Evening Collection - New jewelry collection
The collection is dedicated to romantic evening looks and divided into three main lines of jewelry that represents a different style.
The three lines of jewelry collection:
Lace story –Unique and dramatic evening line that makes a statement and flatters evening neckline dresses.
It is possible and even recommended to combine the line with clothing pieces as well as plain fabrics only because the jewelry stands by itself and provides the feminine and glamorous look that enhances every appearance. The line is characterized as a lace like metal in black and white with a touch of color, silk flowers, crystals and Swarovski beads.
Rose Romance –
Vintage line for romantic looks, light and contemporary, combines old and new.
The line is characterized by soft colors and pastel shades of powder, metal chains, pearls, corals, hand painted fabrics and unique laces that are used as the jewelry base.
The Classics -
Familiar, favorite Michal Negrin jewelry style characterized by rich color and made by unique techniques.
All items are handmade and combining Swarovski crystals.

"I would entirely recommend this game, it's hours of fun and will not wear out quick. Each twist and turn, every near-miss, you'll be clinging onto your mouse for dear life!"

Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road lays on the nitrous in a big way and gets some serious air off with retro racing that takes off-road in new directions. A retro look and a surreal style are only the beginning of the ways that this single-player title takes you back to when racing was a personal experience for as long as you could handle it. With a whopping 90 tracks over 18 themes, you'll be racing for hours and hours before you finish this game on the first run.

Every Monday when I read this post I think .. surely NOT another week has gone by! Thinking this week will be a little quieter around here now ds and family have moved.
The good news is I will be getting a new router this week to replace my faulty one! YAY!

Out for lunch later with friends!
Guess I will just wait and see what the week brings! Hope everyone has a happy week!
|Sun, 06-10-2012 - 7:12pm
Basically, the week involves the revolving door.
Career Girl is heading back to Seattle in a few hours.
Monday: Picking hubby up at the airport tomorrow morning.
Tuesday: Cleaning up and maybe a trip to the laundromat, AGAIN with his stuff. Career Girl is coming home after work to spend the night as she has a dental appointment on Wednesday.
Wednesday: Career Girl goes to the dentist and will work from our home afterwards. She may stay for dinner and then head back to her apartment after rush hours traffic.
Thursday: A trip to the breast center for my mammogram at 7 AM and return home to clean up again. Maybe grocery shopping if we're out of food.
Friday: If I don't get groceries on Thursday, then I'll get them in the morning.
Saturday: Up to Seattle to pick up Career Girl and deposit her at the airport for her trip.
Some time between these activities I hope to see the husband and maybe get my washer fixed. I am so ungodly burned out on everybody going somewhere and me staying home and running a frigging *hotel*.
|Sun, 06-10-2012 - 10:45pm
It's only 9:35pm and I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open!! If I go to bed this early, though, I'd wake up around 4 or 5am and that's way too early for me!! Had a nice time today celebrating my DD2's bday, but times like that are really tiring too!! It was also hard being surrounded by delicious foods, cupcakes and cookies!! I didn't have even one bite of anything not on my plan though. Wish there would not be any more occasions until I've gotten out of food jail!!!
My week looks like this so far....
Monday..Staying home and relaxing after a busy weekend! Will probably work on my closet some more.
Tuesday..Cleaning ladies come. Weigh-in at my TOPS meeting that evening.
Wednesday..Give Shelby dog a bath. Watch the new Dallas that evening, if I remember to turn the tv on that is.
Thursday..Get my haircut and color weave. Pack for the weekend.
Friday..Take Shelby dog to the vet for boarding and head out of town for the weekend.
Saturday..Family wedding in the town where dh grew up. The groom is dh's nephew.
Sunday..Will get back from wedding weekend that evening.
That's my stuff..hope all of your stuff's all good!!

WIA Bill Impacts CTE Funding
Yesterday, Sen. Patty Murray and Ranking Member Johnny Isakson of the Senate Subcommittee
on Employment and Workplace Safety introduced the bipartisan Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 2013 (S. 1356).
Originally authorized in 1998, the WIA program set up a
nationwide job training system for unemployed and underemployed people to find
job training programs and other job-search assistance. The program has been up
for reauthorization since 2003, but Congress has not been able to come up with
a solution to update the program for today's global, ever-changing economy.
The bipartisan bill introduced yesterday makes a variety of
updates to the 1998 law including:
Despite these positive changes, ACTE has concerns over
several aspects of the bill, most notably the one-stop center infrastructure funding mechanism. The mechanism would allow states to use 1.5 percent of
funds from the required one-stop partners, including postsecondary Perkins
programs, to fund the cost of a one-stop center. This would equate to
approximately $17 million in Perkins administrative funds being made
Additionally, ACTE would like to see accredited education
providers automatically approved as a WIA training providers and state CTE
directors included as mandatory members of the state workforce boards.
The bill is currently scheduled for a markup in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)
Committee on Wednesday, July 31 at 10am. ACTE will continue to make these
comments to the HELP committee, and the CTE Action Center has been
updated with an email for CTE stakeholders to send to their Senators to protect
CTE funds from the infrastructure mechanism.

The Six Hardest Things About Being a Stepmom (And the Two Things That Make it All Worth It)
If there's anything I've learned from being a longtime Kveller reader and contributor, it's that raising kids is HARD. Kids need attention and love all the time, but they also need dinner, a bath, and a bedtime story, all before 7:45 p.m. or you will pay for it in the morning. Diaper changes and temper tantrums, picking a school, picking up toys, monitoring screen time–it's endless.
All of that said, I envy all you moms and dads out there, because being a parent seems (from my no-doubt warped perspective) a whole lot simpler than being a stepparent. There are approximately 673,491 difficult things about being a stepparent, but here's my top six list (and then two things that make it all worth it).
1.You never did any of the awesome bonding.
Those first few months after the baby arrived you probably didn't get much sleep. And you may have felt like kind of an imposter (who let you take this baby home from the hospital? Don't they know you have no idea what you're supposed to do?) but you figured it out. You suffered through the sleepless nights and the cryfests because your baby was gorgeous and perfect and you just LOVED looking at her while she nursed or playing peek-a-boo with him. You watched him laugh for the first time, take her first steps, and you cried when he first said "Mama." Read the rest of this entry →

Minding Hawthorn superstar Cyril Rioli would be one of the most testing reintroductions to the AFL after a two-week layoff with illness.
But Rioli's lightning speed and innate ability to kick game-changing remarkable goals might well be the medicine awaiting Sydney defender Nick Smith in Launceston on Sunday.
Smith, who has missed the Swans' past two matches due to a severe inner ear infection that left him struck with vertigo, trained well on Wednesday and is considered a good chance to return on the weekend.
"I think if he's not over it (vertigo), he certainly might have a case of it after playing on Cyril," Swans coach John Longmire joked.
Smith manned Rioli last season and knows the livewire's sensational skills well - having been a former schoolmate at Melbourne's Scotch College, where the pair played together in 2005 and 2006.
However, one suspects Rioli's strong performance in the two sides' most recent meeting - last year's semi-final which the Hawks won by 36 points - might be weighing more on Smith's mind.
There's no guarantee Smith will play against the Hawks on Sunday, but the early signs are positive and Longmire is hopeful he and Lewis Roberts-Thomson, who has missed two weeks with a broken cheekbone, will be named on Thursday in an extended squad.
"Nick's case was unusual - getting over vertigo - so we don't know how he'll react to that," he said.
"But he trained last week and trained really well. He's done all he needs to do so far, so he's coming along pretty well."
Ruckman Shane Mumford will miss the match but, with co-captain Adam Goodes returning from suspension and breaking the club's games record, Longmire could be in the unenviable position of making three changes to the side that eased past North Melbourne.
"We're - hopefully - looking forward to having that debate later on this week if both of those players are OK," he said.
"Because what was exciting from our point of view is that all the players who have been brought into this team over the last few weeks have been able to come in and play a really good role for us.
"If you look at Mark Seaby, Tony Armstrong, Andrejs Everitt - his pressure skills were fantastic, particularly when Gary Rohan went off."
Goodes will this weekend pass Michael O'Loughlin's tally of 303 games for Sydney.
Longmire praised the dual Brownlow Medallist's leadership and character, noting Goodes' usual selfless nature hadn't been impacted by the occasion.
"He's actually just looking forward to playing. Obviously missing last week when the boys had a really good win, he's just keen as anything to get out there and play," he said.
"But it is a significant moment for him to be the game's record holder, particularly taking over from probably his best mate Michael O'Loughlin.

Humans consume two types of iron: heme and non-heme. Heme iron is the most easily absorbed form of iron. Highest in heme iron is red meat such as beef, venison, lamb, buffalo; also blue fin tuna is higher in heme iron than most other types of fish. All meat and fish also contain non-heme iron, which is found mostly in vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and most over-the-counter iron supplements.

Chronic fatigue and joint pain are the most common complaints of people with hemochromatosis. For this reason, the complete diagnosis is often delayed because these two symptoms are commonly seen in other diseases.

Since Hemochromatosis is genetic, your family members could be affected by the disorder. Having your family members tested could help save their lives.
It is very important to get iron levels down to normal. Therapeutic blood removal or phlebotomy is the most common means of iron reduction. Therapeutic phlebotomy (TP) is the same as regular blood donation...

Playoff Contest is Closed
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
It looks like my chances of winning my own contest are quite good, as only Adam Smoot of Bright Orange Seats and Tom Green of 4th and Fail gave us their playoff picks. You can view everyone's picks and point totals as the playoffs move on here. Some interesting points to note:
- Everyone thinks the Yankees and Angels will win the ALDSes.
- I had the only bracket without the Yankees in the World Series.
- Tom and I like the Cards to win it all, while Ted picked the Rockies and Adam picked the Yankees.
- Adam also gave us an extra-special super-specific prediction: "World Series goes 7 games, Jeter bats .182 with 0 RBI, A-Rod bats .367, with 11 RBI, tying Mantle for 2nd most RBI in a World Series, the universe collapses into itself and life as we know it comes to an end." Not bad...
UPDATE: After the divisional series, Adam is in the lead with four points, followed by the field with three points each. Adam is the only entrant left with his World Series choice still in it, but he does not have it locked up yet by any means...

DURHAM -- A small rally in Durham Monday morning- brought health care, senior and political advocates together. They were all there to speak out about why the two-year-old federal Affordable Care Act needs to remain in tact.
"We're mandated to have drivers licenses, we're mandated to pay social security, we're mandated to pay Medicare," said Melvin Whitley with Action NC, who organized the rally.
Supporters of the Affordable Care Act point out that even though it is not fully in effect until 2014, strides have already been made in providing health insurance for many. That included young adults who have recently graduated from colleges, and kids with pre-existing conditions.
In addition, free health screenings are already available to those in need.
"86 million Americans have received one or more free preventive services already under the health care law," said U.S Rep. David Price, who represents the 4th District.
On the other side, folks like those with Americans for Prosperity, said it is time for the Affordable Care Act to go, especially the individual mandates.
"If Congress can do this to you, there is nothing they cannot do to you," said Dallas Woodhouse with Americans for Prosperity. "By telling you to buy broccoli or a certain kind of cell phone or any thing else that you choose to or not to purchase."
Woodhouse, with about 400 people from North Carolina, will head to Washington on Tuesday morning to show their opposition to the Affordable Care Act, which he said is simply not needed.
"The absence of health insurance is not the absence of health care," said Woodhouse. "Everybody does not need insurance to have health care. That is what we need to get away from in America and then use insurance for catastrophic situations."

Limited German Lead Crystal Everest Globe
Crafted to honor the epic 1963 National Geographic Society-sponsored U.S. expedition to Mt. Everest, this is the 20" diameter Everest Globe entirely handmade of stemware-quality leaded crystal and considered by many to be the world's finest globe.
Only 250 of these globes exist, and no two are alike--each is painstakingly handcrafted in Germany's Lake Constance region by more than 20 artisans including glassblowers, woodworkers, brass engravers, girdlers, and inlayers.
The brilliant world-renowned National Geographic cartography on the two-sided map is composed of 24 separate layers of rich color and crisp detail that is applied to the crystal globe once the surface has cooled, then hand-lacquered to a polished shine. Inside the globe is a 60-watt bulb controlled by an on/off foot pedal with adjustable power button to light the globe brightly or softly.
When lit, the globe reveals a physical map showing minute details such as mountain ranges, ice caps, vegetation expanses, and arid lands. When the light is turned off, the globe portrays a political map of the world labeled with 6,500 place names, including continents, countries, and cities.
