Siyanqoba: The day the ANC went to Soweto, but could not find its way home
Two days after his release from prison, Nelson Mandela addressed thousands of people at Soweto's Soccer City stadium. "Today, my return to Soweto fills my heart with joy," he told the crowd.
Soweto is always the final destination on the ANC's election campaign trails.
The sprawling township was the heart and home of the liberation struggle. The 1976 Soweto Uprising possibly changed the course of history of the country. The ANC's political leaders were brought to Soweto when they returned from prison and exile.
An anthem in the mid-80s was Hugh Masekela's "Bring him back home to Soweto". In February 1990, Mandela returned to his home in Orlando West in Soweto and was welcomed back at a mass rally at Soccer City. The revamped stadium is also where South Africans and world's leaders gathered to honour the memory of Mandela after his passing in December last year.
The day of Mandela's memorial service will be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. It marked the ANC's greatest humiliation when people in the stands booed President Jacob Zuma in front of the nations of the world. It poured with rain for the duration of the memorial service and large sections of the stadium were empty. The ANC's sign language interpreter turned the event into a fiasco.
The atmosphere at Sunday's closing election rally could not have been more different. A capacity crowd of 94,000 ANC supporters packed the stadium, and thousands of others watched the proceedings on big screens in overflow areas outside the stadium. The sun beat down and the crowds were jubilant in praise of the ANC. The day was a festival of song and dance, with some of the country's top artists performing.
Watch: ANC's Siyanqoba rally[embedded content]
After an arduous and testing election campaign, it was all hitch-free and smoothly managed. The ANC offered free wi-fi to keep people talking about the event on social media. And Zuma was a hot favourite – when he was not ploughing through a truly awful 3,013-word speech, unsuited to the occasion.
Those who spoke on behalf of the ANC youth, women and veterans leagues, as well as alliance partners, Cosatu, the South African Communist Party and civics organisation Sanco, expressed confidence that the ANC would win overwhelmingly and raged against the opposition and critics.
Zuma's job was to sew it all up, to deliver the pièce de résistance.
He did, eventually. But not in a way a restless nation needed him to.
It had all been laid out for him. Even before he entered the stadium, it was all about Zuma, the face of the campaign. Master of ceremonies Malusi Gigaba whipped up the crowd, building expectation for Zuma's entrance. When he finally entered, it was rock star stuff. Flanked by security personnel and officials, Zuma strutted onto the stage and then down onto a giant t-shaped ramp on the pitch, waving to the crowds.
It was his moment. He loved the adoration. It was his to harness.
But Zuma being Zuma, he gave it away.
The speech started of fittingly, summing up the election campaign. "ANC leaders and volunteers have visited every corner of the country in the past few weeks, humbly engaging our people. The people have told us that South Africa is a much better place to live in now than it was before 1994, thanks to the programmes and policies of the ANC.
"At the same time, they identified areas of concern and told us where we need to improve, as we deliver a better life for all. We are concluding our campaign on a high note. There is lot to be proud of about our beautiful country as we mark 20 years of freedom."
The thing to have done then was to put down the rambling speech about the ANC's track record in government and delivery statistics and talk to the party's core constituency, as well as still undecided or opposition voters who were watching him.
Zuma needed to tell all these people that while the ANC did well to change the face of South Africa over the past 20 years, he is aware that the party had strayed from what it was and what it intended to be. He needed to say that the slate would be wiped clean, that the pain and disappointment would stop. Nobody expects him to talk about Nkandla or any other monkey on his back in an election rally, but Zuma needed to acknowledge that the scandals in the ANC and government had damaged the party, and that this would now stop.
How differently would that speech have been received? How many people who are disenchanted by the ANC and cannot bring themselves to vote for it would have possibly reconsidered? Towards the end of the speech, Zuma thanked those who had left but were returning to the ANC.
"We urge all others who are still in other parties, to make the journey home. They will be warmly received. The ANC is the home of all progressive South Africans."
But it is the ANC that needs to make the journey home. And that was the time and place to point the way.
It was the moment to reach out, not belt out the record of government delivery which people are already being assaulted with daily. The problem with the ANC campaign was not over its delivery record but its abuses and excesses. And now it will enter another term of government without seeing or undertaking to address that problem.
During Zuma's speech, thousands of people streamed out of the stadium, either to escape the heat, or from hunger and exhaustion. An interminable report on the state of the nation did not empower them in any way. So they left. The ANC was embarrassed but like with much else concerning Zuma, they let him go on without intervening and watched the stadium emptying.
They knew the finale would make up for the dull, uninspiring speech.
If there is one thing Zuma can do right, it is to sing rousingly. The people in the stadium sensed that he was nearing the end of the speech when he invoked the names of the ANC's departed heroes, calling for people to vote for the movement of Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Chris Hani, Solomon Mahlangu, Harry Gwala and others.
He then began his campaign song Yinde Lendlela, which became his signature tune from the run-up to the ANC's 53rd conference in Mangaung, where he was elected the party leader for the second term. The song, loosely translated, means "The road we are travelling is long; Mandela said we will meet on Freedom Day".
Zuma sang it with gusto and passion. His voice resounded over the stadium and the crowd sang in unison of the wish of meeting Nelson Mandela on Freedom Day. As Zuma sang, he strode down the ramp, flanked by the ANC officials and national executive committee. As the song reached its crescendo, confetti burst from the sides of the ramps, enveloping the ANC leadership in a cocoon of the party colours.
It might have been choreographed but it was a moment in time. There stood the successors of a legion of heroes, people wholly unworthy of their inheritance, boldly taking the ANC on a path it should not be on. It was tragedy wrapped up with poignancy, all to the soundtrack of a beautiful song of struggle and an impossible dream.
As the gigantic stadium emptied, and the confetti floated high above it, the message was there for all to see: the ANC of yesterday is no more. These were the leaders of tomorrow, the people who on Wednesday will be handed a renewed mandate to govern South Africa, as unworthy as they are.
In that special place in Soweto, the moment came on Sunday and went to turn back and find the way home. DM

This cardigan style scrub jacket has a three-button front and matching knit cuffs. There are two patch pockets and one cell phone pocket. This scrub jacket is made of soil-release poly/cotton poplin.
True sizing. Washes well.
The description was very accurate and well made. Cherokee makes a good scrub.
Excellent jacket for the price. It is very comfortable.
Love my Jacket I order. It fit good and I receive it in a timely manner. And I will order again form ya'll Thanks
I chose a Cherokee Jacket because I love my Flexibles, because the sizes fit me correctly and because the color should match my pants. Well the color is good BUT the FIT is HORRID. The upper part of the jacket is about 6 inches too tall! If I pulled the shoulders up past my ears , the under arms would be where they should be. The shoulders stick out like wings. I can't send it back as I splurged and got my name embroidered on it. Nice embroidery but it will become an ill fitting paint smock as I would never feel nicely dress or comfortable in such a strange get up.

More reviews by ChocolateSauce
I'll normally use this as a bath oil or sometimes I'll slather on after a bath/shower then top off with moisturiser (for an extra seal). Smells nice (Lavender/Aloe/Regular). It's cheap, multi purpose, been around for EVER, quick / easy to use and the expiration is within 3yrs. Good to have some in the house I always say.
I bought this to help remove my stubborn waterproof mascara, and basically for quicker removal of makeup. I also thought I would try it in the bath as an oil, as I have dry, sensitive skin. Well. On the Makeup side of things, it wasn't much better than your average remover! I still had to rub vigourously, and it still took a while for it to come off! Also my eyes were greasy and filmy, even though I always wash my face afterwards! So not much luck there. I used it in the bath, and when I got out I just felt greasy. Good oils shouldn't irritate (ok, this one didn't) and shouldn't feel greasy (This one definatley DID!). I think we are all aware of all the 'petrochemical' stuff surrounding this, so I won't go into it, but it did make me a bit uneasy about salthering this stuff on after a shower/bath. The packaging was terrible as lots came out at once, so I decanted into a little spray bottle. I'll use it up for my mascara removal, but thats it, and I won't be using it again. Johnsons do brilliant eye MU removing wipes, so I'm not wasting my money of this crap again.
Petroleum jelly is baby oil right? Petroleum, as in fuel, as in gasoline or diesel? These are all byproducts of petroleum. Are you willing to cover your organs, yes organs, in diesel or tar? Your skin is the largest organ in the body and applying baby oil to your skin is like wrapping it in saran wrap. Talk to the professionals (aestaticien or dermatologist) or just do some research on toxins in products.
A great body moisturiser. Here's a tip: If you're running a bath add a few drops of this baby oil and relax, emerge feeling softer than ever and you won't feel as oily as you would if you applied it directly to your skin. But just don't get it on your hair, it's a nightmare to get it off but I suppose has some benefit all the same!
Pore clogging petrol poison..I am amazed people use this on babies...read up a www.ewg.com
Used this to lather my belly while I was pregnant. Didnt prevent stretch marks (that wasnt my intention) but it was the only product that relieved the itchiness. Now, I only use this for my rough elbows and knees. Not a HG but staple.
My HG eye make up remover! This stuff takes off the toughest waterproof mascara in seconds. It's dirt cheap but god, the bottle leaks so it's not quite handy to bring it along. Other than that, I love this and won't be needing anything else =D
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have had a bottle of this for years and use it after waxing to get rid of any traces of wax that are left. It's also good for removing stubborn makeup - if Johnson & Johnson marketed this as a solvent, it'd probably do well!
love it
i dont remember the last time i used this baby oil.....but i stopped using it for ages and ages....till one day i found a 'left over' bottle of baby oil at my bf's place and i found out that it belong to his ex...hmm anyhow so i took it and used it as "mine"...well i was being silly and my first try was removing my make up!! this is awesome!my heavy eye make up came out in a second!! leaving my eyes and face feel smooth and soft without any irritation!! i used to use POND'S cold creme which works great as well but think of the benefits you get from just a bottle of baby oil that can use all over your body! i've tried shaving with it as well!! EDIT: it clogged my pores so i'm switching to DHC deep cleansing oil.

Diane Champion Hayes
A. H. Marty Co.
October 30, 2006 4:30 AM
Diane Champion Hayes
As president of A. H. Marty Co., Diane Champion Hayes faces the same challenges as many executives of metal-bending companies in Cleveland.
The prices of steel and energy over the last 18 months have kept the companys operating costs high. Finding skilled workers in a blue-collar trade, which some observers see as a symbol of Clevelands industrial glory rather than its future, remains a constant struggle. However, as some fabrication outfits have fallen out of the race because of industry pressures, Ms. Hayes, who approaches both small and large problems with good-natured humor, seemingly hasnt lost a step.
Established in 1910, A. H. Martys signature work can be found in the brass trim within Tower City Center as well as the handcrafted doors of several Cleveland churches. However, the companys challenges became Ms. Hayes challenges after her husband, owner Thomas Champion, died unexpectedly in 1991. Dismissing some financial advisers who recommended that she sell the company, Ms. Hayes chose to make a go of the fabrication business.
The pressure to maintain a company started by her husbands grandfather, and where profit margins are constantly squeezed, was significant.
For someone who has been given lemons, shes good at making lemonade, said Kathleen Curry, a sales representative for A. H. Marty.
Fifteen years later, Ms. Hayes, 52, said customers of A. H. Marty are what have kept the fourth-generation family business moving forward on Clevelands East Side.
I think people continued to support the company because they wanted to ensure I didnt fail, Ms. Hayes said.
The company, which employs 15, manufactures steel catwalks, container tanks and conveyor parts that are used in such industries as mining and steelmaking.
On a typical day, Ms. Hayes is on the factory floor interacting with company workers or is with customers to ensure that A. H. Marty continues to meet their needs and its log of orders. She said being receptive to both employees and customers is key to remaining in business, especially when a sour economy can quickly affect production.
Were not driving Jaguars around here, Ms. Hayes said. When we see a downturn in the economy, we cinch our belts as tight as we can.
Steve Morey, assistant vice president of small business at National City Corp., a lender for A.H. Marty, said Ms. Hayes determination to succeed is overshadowed only by her dedication to remain a part of this blue-collar section of Slavic Village. The company has operated on the same site at 6900 Union Ave. for 96 years.
Its indicative of all those shops in Cleveland that have found their niche and are humming along, Mr. Morey said.
Ms. Hayes, a longtime board member of the Association of Women in the Metal Industries, said the company not only continues to meet its customer needs but also continues to evolve. For example, equipment upgrades planned for the Union Avenue plant will expand the companys market presence, she said.
Perhaps a bigger step in A. H. Martys evolution is preparing her 29-year-old son, Tom, to take over the business when she retires in the next few years so she can spend more time with her grandchildren and on the golf course. Her other son Ron, 27, oversees the information technology side of the house.
Ms. Hayes said shes more optimistic for the future than at any time since assuming control of the company 15 years ago.
It was the best decision I ever made because my boys will be able to have a future, Ms. Hayes said.

Before Idaho's biggest home game of the year starts, I wanted to check in and offer a few pregame observations. The student section is already packed and yelling obscenities at BSU, and it should be the biggest crowd of the year here at Cowan Spectrum. The game is on ESPNU if you're interested. You can also follow my updates on Twitter if you like. Read on.
Both teams are clearly in desperate need of a win. Nothing new there. BSU and Idaho have combined for one win in their first 13 conference games. UI is trying to avoid the conference cellar while BSU has been there all year long.
A few things to look for:

By GGU Prof. Alan Ramo
A report of the October 1st meeting of the US Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Justice Advisory Committee in Environment and Energy Publishing's website caught my attention for two reasons. First, in the October 2nd, 2014, article written by E&E reporter Robin Bravender, "Top brass on defense as environmental justice advocates slam climate rule", EPA Chief Gina McCarthy reportedly acted "surprised" when a NEJAC member criticized the new EPA greenhouse gas power plant rule. McCarthy apparently was not aware that her Environmental Justice office widely advertised a July 21, 2014, webinar entitled, "What's at Stake: Environmental Justice and the EPA's Clean Power Plan." That webinar, sponsored by WEACT, featured a number of environmental justice advocates, including Brent Newell of the Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment, who roundly criticized aspects of the proposal. (For webinar, go to http://www.weact.org/ejcleanair/resources/index.html and scroll down to "webinar.") Continue reading

Private Option To Become Law

Beebe To Sign 'Private Option' Plan Into Arkansas Law
By Associated Press
Gov. Mike Beebe is set to sign into law legislation that will allow Arkansas to use federal Medicaid dollars to purchase private health insurance for thousands of low-income residents.
Beebe is expected Tuesday to sign into law bills setting up the "private option" program that supporters have touted as an alternative to the Medicaid expansion called for under the federal health care law.
The proposal would allow the state to purchase private insurance through an exchange set up through the law. The federal government must still approve Arkansas' plan.
Federal officials have said the concept is consistent with Medicaid's requirements. Arkansas lawmakers gave final approval to the private option bills last week.

Board of Trustees at Kean University calls emergency meeting
The Board of Trustees of Kean University announced that a follow-up emergency meeting regarding the investigation of President Dawood Farahi will be held on Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. The Board predicts that a final decision on Farahi's employment will be announced at the meeting.
The Board held a five-hour emergency meeting on Feb. 9 in response to allegations levied at President Dawood Farahi in November that he falsified credentials on past resumes.
Ada Morell, the Chair of the Board, moved to adjourn the meeting late Thursday night after the board spent more than three-hours in closed, executive session. She announced that the board would reconvene "early next week," to continue the meeting and make a final decision.
The Board met at the Kean Hall Conference Center to a standing-room-only crowd of students, faculty, staff and alumni.
After an initial 40 minute private session, the Board opened the floor to those who wished to address the room. The seven that signed up were each allowed a maximum of three minutes to speak.
Dr. James Castiglione, a Physics professor and president of the Kean Federation of Teachers outlined a KFT meeting that was held just hours earlier where the union voted unanimously to call for Farahi's resignation. He went on to ask the Board to restore academic integrity to the university by removing Farahi from office.
Jesus Diaz, a professor of General Studies, spoke on a similar note, saying that "The evidence is out in public. The evidence is undeniable."
He went on to say that in the event of Farahi staying in office, a degree from Kean would be "worthless."
Student Ashley Kraus cited the Academic Integrity Policy required on all Kean syllabi and then, looking at Farahi, asked, "If we have to abide by it [the policy], shouldn't you?"
Faculty member Gilda Del Risco, Elementary and Bilingual Education, turned the attention of the room to the KFT, saying that the allegations it is levying at Farahi are destructive to the university.
"What you're doing to the university is wrong. What you're doing to the students is wrong," she said. "It's ridiculous."
She went on to ask how anyone would know if the KFT wasn't responsible for some of the errors on Farahi's resumes.
"They [the KFT] have always been trying to get rid of Dr. Farahi," she said in an interview with a Tower Editor after the Board went back into executive session. "They were never able to do it. Now they find this [the resume errors] or came up with this, 'oh now we got him.'"
"When Dr. Farahi came he established order," she said. "And you know why? Because of you guys, the students."
Castiglione, when asked afterwards for a response to her allegations, said it was "classic 'blame the messenger.'"
"They have no evidence for that and there is none," he said. "It's…it's absurd."
Farahi supporter Jose Sanchez, Executive Director of Social Sciences, was met with laughs by some of the audience when he called Farahi "an honest man."
"It may be a lot of fun for you to do all this," he said. "But it is sadistic and wrong."
The Board moved back into a private session and did not return to the conference hall for more than three hours.
While the audience was waiting for the Board to return, Castiglione said that this is the students' university and "the academic integrity and the reputation of your [the students'] university determines the value of your degree; and the students need to make their voices heard to protect the academic integrity of their degrees."
Castiglione also acknowledged rumors that some of the faculty were talking about a possible boycott of May commencement ceremonies.
"There are some faculty," he said, "who are putting together an effort to boycott graduation."
"Graduation is for the students. That's why it's so important for the faculty to stand up for the Academic Integrity of the institution, and the degrees that are being conferred to the students," he continued. "That the president has no legitimacy to confer those great degrees to students on the basis of this."
Kathleen Henderson, president of the union that oversees the adjuncts, said that the state of affairs now is a no-win situation, also adding that it is impossible to take a side without hearing both sides of the argument.
Castiglione said the next day over the phone that the Board's decision to reconvene next week was both hopeful and unsettling. He reaffirmed that he is happy the Board is not "whitewashing" the allegations, but feels that there is overwhelming evidence to support the accusations.
"They [the students] should speak out about this," said Kraus the next day during a phone interview. "Because really it's our money, we're the paying customers here."
"If he's lying about this, what else has he lied about? And if he can come up with the proof, then that's fine," she continued. "I don't think that he's [Farahi] a bad person. I just think that he should own up to what's right."
The University has not released a statement regarding the accusations.

Happy Earth Day!
As we've all become more aware of how we can each be more environmentally conscious, this month we're talking to Danny Seo. Danny is an environmental lifestyle expert with best-selling books, television programs, products, magazine and syndicated newspaper columns. Through all his efforts, including "how-to" lifestyle lectures, he is able to share the creative ideas that made him America's leading lifestyle authority on modern, eco-friendly living.
Today, you're an environmental lifestyle expert, but what did you want to be when you were younger?
When I was much younger, I would be in charge of decorating the family Christmas tree but wanted to do it in the most recycled way possible. So I fixated on ornaments that were either made from recycled or natural materials, but had to look a certain way, too. It was that fixation that led to me being hired to create holiday trees for a local department store (before I was 16) that helped me nurture my design skills. Those two worlds—design and sustainability—soon merged and become who I am today.
Your bio says that on your 12th birthday you founded the organization Earth 2000. What was the turning point in your life that made you want to become environmentally friendly?
I share the same birthday as Earth Day (April 22), so you can't help but be influenced by the fact your birthday is marked with so much news about the perils of our natural world. Starting to think if I were born on Valentine's Day, I'd be obsessed with love. Maybe.
For those people out there who want to take the first step to being more "green" what do you recommend?
Think Big. I think we all want to be green but think it means giving everything up. If you're in the market for a new car, think about getting the absolute most fuel efficient one you can afford. Need a new fridge? Get the most energy efficient on the market because those suckers are on 24/7 and are real energy hogs if you get the wrong one. Don't obsess over the small stuff…. it's the big ticket items that matter most.
Meet our 1st boscia babe – Gail Larkin!
Here at boscia, we're constantly meeting new and exciting people, whether they're visiting our headquarters, attending one of our press events or simply interacting with someone from our sales team. Very often, we hear how much they love boscia and how boscia products have really made a difference in their skin. But beyond that, we've also come to realize and appreciate that boscia is a brand that is truly loved by people who come from different walks of life, yet they all have one thing in common – their love for boscia. So we've decided that each month, we will feature some amazing boscia fans on our blog whose story we want to share with the rest of the boscia community. So with that said, let's meet our first boscia babe…..Gail Larkin!
Gail Larkin is an accomplished professional with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry. She worked at Barneys for 5 years before creating VIP Closet Consultants which is a highly personalized service designed to help you make the most of the clothes you already own. She organizes, styles and installs closets for a very broad clientele ranging from people who work in videos and short films, producers, writers, and jewelry designers, to moms and high powered women that run companies and do social work, in addition to men as well.
What inspires you? "I love watching their faces become so happy, so fulfilled. I can see [a change] while helping them. When they feel better and dress better they feel more confident….life changing to the point where they're just happier and better people. The goal is to have everything in their closet fit, updated and have everything look good," she says.
When editing a client's closet, Gail will take what she thinks will sell to resale shops such as Haute Seconds and Entre Nous. But when it comes to adding items to a client's closet, she will usually shop with or without the client present. She can always rely on finding pieces at Barneys and Elyse Walker but for her own wardrobe she loves Bergdorf Goodman, Barney's, Elise Walker and Opening Ceremony. However Barneys is a personal favorite. "I worked there for a long time so I find a lot of things there."
Who is the style icon you admire most? "Kate Moss because she mixes vintage, bohemian, and couture – rather than wearing only what's current. For instance, she will wear a fab white fur and mix it with a current 2012 spring Gucci gold dress."
If you could have anyone's closet, who would you trade closets with? "I would love to change closets with Kate Moss or Chloe Sevigny"
What are the key aspects/pieces to having a great well rounded wardrobe?
- Black blazer
- Little black dress
- White blouse
- Perfect skinny jean
- Cashmere cardigan
- Platform heel
- Flats
- Birkin bag
- Clutch
- The RIGHT bra
Tell us about your morning routine/beauty regimen. "I have a 3 year old so I prefer a beauty regimen that is very simple. Simple is the best…I want to look fresh and young and I want that glow. Boscia has given me back that glow!" She actually uses all Boscia products now. Her favorite products to use in the morning are Restorative Day Moisture Cream SPF 15, Balancing Facial Tonic, and then the Enlivening Eye Amino-AG Eye Treatment, followed by B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++. After that, she puts on her makeup: under eye concealer, eye shadow, eyeliner, blush and lip gloss. At night it's just as simple: Makeup Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil, Purifying Cleansing Gel, and Recharging Night Moisture.
Everyone has a different makeup philosophy. What's in your makeup bag at the moment? "Light and fresh for day and smoky and sexy for night." Her go to makeup brands/products include Hourglass 6 shade eye palette (neo-classic), Armani and Cleau De Peau blush, YSL for under eye concealer, Shu Uemura brushes, Kevin Aucoin's powder eye shadow in Whisper, Armani eyeliner, Maybelline Falsies mascara, Carnal Flower parfum and a favorite nail polish of hers is Chanel's Black Pearl.
Where do you get your beauty tips from? "I go to Barneys to see Patrick who is a resident makeup artist there…The idea is that makeup should look natural…the no makeup look….very natural and bohemian but u actually do have quite a bit on…."
What draws you to certain beauty products? "The consistency and the brand, especially how good the brand is…I want to feel it, see [the product]…and the product [shouldn't have] a lot of toxins…Everyone's skin is different so it takes a lot to find out what's not going to absorb into your skin so you have to try a lot!"
Some people go the whole 9 yards and cleanse, tone, moisturize, apply face masks serums and eye creams but what do you think? What is your skincare philosophy? "I believe in the whole thing…a lot of it is genetics but I do believe in following the steps."
When did skincare become more of a concern to you? "It's always been a concern but just from when you're young, you lay out with no SPF and as soon as you hit 30 your skin changes. That's when you need to take a serious evaluation of your skin and take care of it. Age 30 is when your body shifts as a women and the lines start to come in especially under the eyes but if you have the right skin care you can help it a lot. I've tried so many creams but the Enlivening Amino-AG Eye Treatment was unbelievable! Within a few days people were telling me my skin was glowing…everyone kept saying 'your skin looks so good!'"
She's tried many other more expensive products such as Kinerase and RéVive but she didn't get the results she got with Boscia. "The price point is amazing because if you run out it's not going to cost you $200 to get a new product."
What are your favorite boscia products? "I really like the Balancing Facial Tonic and Restorative Day Moisture Cream SPF 15 and the Luminizing Black Mask. No one else makes masks like this… you have to go and get a facial for these kind of results! I've absolutely seen an improvement in my skin…..I like everything from Boscia but those 3 products are great. I run a company, have a 3 yr old, and a husband so I'm very busy… but this product is keeping my youth."
Speaking of your 3 yr old….when will you start instilling a skincare regimen with her? "I already put sun block on her skin everyday, since day 1…I moisturize [her] skin with really thick lotion…..its important."
What are your must have, Holy Grail products? "You can get makeup anywhere but finding skincare products is the most important. Good under eye cream and day cream are hard to find. There are a million makeup lines but not a million under eye and face cream lines."
Best words of advice you've inherited from friends, family, and respected mentors? My mother and father told me "You just have to know who you are and be a good person. Be honest and do the best that you can do and just be happy. Treat people really well and be kind."
I can't live without…"Family. Can't live without my daughter & family."
Favorite daily read is….."the New York Times."
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…. "Paulo Coelho who is the author of The Alchemist. All his philosophies are so profound and he's amazing."
What is the best present you've ever received? "My Bottega Veneta edition woven metallic bag."
What is your guilty pleasure? "Pinot Noir."

Rant: maternity leave in the US
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 07-28-2009 - 4:43pm
6 weeks for a natural birth and 8 weeks for a c-section--- absolutely ridiculous. The maternity leave in the US is a JOKE.
I'm sitting here looking at Owen who will be 6 weeks Saturday and I cant even fathom leaving him to go back to work.
I got a letter from HR in the mail regarding my "short term disability" (yet another joke) and at the end of the letter, she writes "if my calculations are correct, we'll see you back the 1st week of August!"
Thankfully I get another 2 weeks because of my c-section. I also plan on taking the 12 weeks FMLA allows, but it will be completely unpaid. We are going to take a hard hit from that but I cannot even imagine going back to work anytime soon. This is the one time i'm actually thanking god I had a c-section, because now I'll get an extra 2 weeks of short term disability pay-- how sad is that?
Maternity leave here needs to be changed. I knew it before but now that I have my own baby, it pisses me off even more. I know some women are lucky and have awesome employers who are generous with sick time/vacation/maternity/paternity leave, etc. But for the majority of us who only get the standard time off--- its insane to think 6-8 weeks is enough.
I'm so angry sitting here thinking about it. just wanted to get that off my chest
I think I'll go move to Canada now

Necro has made a name for himself as the godfather of sickness. He is an independent impresario and a purveyor of fine smut. A pioneer of what can only be termed as "extreme music," he has been churning out anthems of gore and violence for over five years now, combining his ill production skills with a penchant for vivid and brutal rhymes. Lyrically, his evil narrations are metaphoric glimpses into a pretty disturbed mind. The kid just ain't right. Necro does it all, but it's his beats that are the real standout. They always sound like the score to a low budget snuff flick and perfectly complement his morbid steez. His sick fascination with the darker sides of reality plays out like a slasher movie on wax and the results are not what you'd expect from your typical Brooklyn MC. He sets himself apart from the standard by injecting so much vivid description into his songs. No floss, no ice, just an honest exploration of all the vices that lurk in the darkest recesses of the human mind. Lots of blood, lots of guns, lots of Satanic worship and Slayer references, lots of drugs. It's the stuff that your parents hate and your girl makes you turn off when you're in the ride. Necro makes his home in all the murky spots of a twisted psyche, the places where few ever dare to tread.
Brutality Pt. 1 is more of a compilation album, and continues in the same vein. It maintains that same gritty independent ethos that Necro has established with his earlier releases, in both style and substance. It is released on his own Psycho+Logical imprint. Its shock value alone makes Marilyn Manson look like the cartoon puppet that he really is. Even the artwork, design and layout is a homage to all the old classic horror movies and comic books of the past. The album's release coincides with Necro's directorial debut in the world of underground torture porn. All production duties are handled by Necro himself, and all the tracks fit perfectly with the verbal obscenities that he writes. The real surprise here is how Necro steps up with his vocal skills. The first track, "I'm Your Idol", is bangin'; pure neck-cracking, razor-sharp, rapid-fire delivery over a sparse, hard beat. Lyrically, the album's content is enough to make even the staunchest deviant cringe and it is sure to send the brigades of family values, white Christian, moral majority-types running to jump on the protest bandwagon. It is one long foray into the forbidden, an autobiographical document of aural pornography. The lead single; "White Slavery", is an evil depiction of the brutal sex slave trade underscored by a trademark Necro beat; creepy and haunting, driving and pulsing. The beat is as lurid as the "Hard Copy-esque" subject matter the lyrics describe. The song portrays Necro as the dark overlord of a sordid empire of flesh and its detailed descriptions give the listener the feeling that this crazy bastard has lived every word he's speaking. The entire album is filled with visions of explicit and raw carnality mixed with gritty street realities. Splatter-core anthems include "Reign In Blood", "Frank Zito", and "Morbid Shit". The Uncle Howie camp represents with fellow Non-Phixion heathens Ill Bill and Goretex lending their talents in some really strong guest spots and keeping the energy level high by contributing some violent lines and sick flows. On "Street Veteran", Mr. Hyde and Necro trade verses over a nice head-nod track that is laced with a dusty and beautiful piano sample that almost belies the violent nature of the lines it accompanies. "Swordfish" is more of the same heavy-handed lyrical brutality juxtaposed with a delicate, lamenting violin sample that is absolutely sliced by Ill Bill's verse. On "Our Life", Necro and Ill Bill combine again to provide compelling insight into the life experience that goes into creating the kind of warped mind that is Necro by reliving and retelling their life's stories.
Brutality Pt. 1 is definitely not for the feint of heart. Nor is it for those who are "sensitive." But for all those that like the sticky, nasty, bloody sort of hip-hop that Necro brings, this is the perfect record.

Why is it that when a conservative's letter is printed, it's nearly always responded with a liberal's hatred and rhetoric? I said in my letter that water boarding was not torture. It doesn't matter how many liberals respond; I will never back down from my viewpoints.
What I said in my letter is 100 percent true. You can have your own opinions about whether water boarding is torture if you want. That won't change the fact that Daniel Pearl and Terry Schiavo were tortured. You don't have to be asked any questions for it to be torture. You don't have to be conscious for it to be torture. By definition, torture is deliberately inflicting pain on a person. The terrorists were never in any pain underwater. And just so you know, the people who carried out the water boarding were water boarded also, just so they would know what it felt like. Now tell me this: If water boarding is torture, why would they let that happen to themselves?
If any liberal can come up with a better way to get vital information from evil scumbags like the terrorists, I'd like to know what that is. I'll be looking forward to a reply.

- 1Sep 2, '12 by turnforthenurseRNI just kept applying to places and eventually got a call back for an interview. For awhile I wasn't receiving any calls...so I kept tweaking my resume. Good luck!
- 1Sep 2, '12 by FLmedQuote from That GuyCompletely agree!!!!Seriously newbies if you are reading this. Start looking for the job while in school. That means networking and kicking butt at clinicals. Get your name known!
** I applied for 88 positions online at MANY different hospitals spanning over 50 miles from my house.** i knew that there might be some compromise and sacrifice in accepting my first job including a long commute. It's really tough for new grads. I secured a job with a hospital in which I had done clinicals. I smiled a lot while in the clinical setting and kicked butt! Networking is huge. With online applying, your resume looks just like anybody else who just graduated nursing school (for the most part). I went to a job fair. I was finally able to put a face to my resume. One of the hiring managers remembered my smile, and this was from 2 years ago! :-). I had 2 interviews that day, had to do a personality/psych test online, and then I had a panel interview w/ 7 people asking me questions. Anyway, I got the job. However you can do it, get your face in front of the hiring managers. Career fair-- networking!
- 4Sep 2, '12 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorIf I'd have to give advice, I'd say this: don't count on just one thing to land you the job. Don't depend solely on the CNA job that you're working to pan out into a RN job at graduation because in this job market, that's no longer the guarantee that it used to be. Same thing with clincals: don't think that a stellar performance at your senior preceptorship will always result in a job offer at the end. And just because your friend/family member works at the hospital, don't think you have an easy in and not bother to do anything else, because someone else may have an easier in than you.
So do everything that people have suggested in this thread: network while in school, try to work/volunteer, do the best that you can in both class and at clinicals, keep developing your skills, hit all the job/career fairs, never pass up an opportunity to interview, AND find other ways to stand out from the rest. Doing one or two isn't always going to be enough. And be flexible and apply for as much as you can because you never know where you will strike gold.
- 2Sep 18, '12 by hapahaoleI'd made a list of the top children's hospitals in the US and periodically went to each of their job sites. I applied to jobs that were eligible to hire new grads. I applied for a CVICU job at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) despite my interest being in PICU. But it was the only job that allowed new grads to apply! It was a miracle that whoever saw my resume forwarded it to the PICU talent strategist who called me to see if I was interested in scheduling an interview.
I flew out to PA on my own dime and endured a nerve-wrecking 7 hour interview. They called me a week and a half later to offer me the job. No prior connections, simply an online application from their website.
Anything can happen!
- 1Sep 20, '12 by not.done.yet GuideI secured a scholarship from the hospital to pay for my education in return for working there for 2 years after graduation. I also then began an externship there prior to graduation to build a reputation with the hospital. I had a pick of three different positions when I graduated.
- 1Sep 21, '12 by anotheroneHundreds of applications, calls, going to hr officeses/hospitals ( very frowned upon where I attempted this lol), emails, paper applications. In the end I got my job by applying online through the hospital's career website. Interviewed with HR and nursing manger and then relocated a few hundred miles for my job!
- 1Sep 24, '12 by born2circulateRNI kept in contact with HR/nurse recruiters and was invited to a job fair.
- 1Sep 24, '12 by sapphire18 GuideI worked as a PCA/tech on a great unit during nursing school, then got hired on as a nurse as soon as I graduated!

COME and SEE for yourself!!!
Legend's beautiful and welcoming clubhouse sits next to a
magnificent swimming pool with water falls and jacuzzi, overlooked
by a complete fitness center. Adjoining the clubhouse and its
wonderful restaurant is the tennis Pro shop and its first-class Har-
Tru tennis courts, with teaching pros and clinics.

are available to all golfers!
Wide sidewalks wind their way from the clubhouse through the
community and 234 acres of preserves, usually bathed in warm
Southwest Florida sun. A 1/4 mile walk from the clubhouse to the
16th green will bring you to the back of our ground-floor condo. The
cypress preserve is on the front side. There is a shared pool just a
short walk from the front door.
Inside you will find a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with a spacious and
bright living room, dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, and lanai
in the back. The main sofa is very comfortable and long enough to
sleep an extra guest. Plenty of windows and light make this a great
place to relax or entertain. The lanai sits along the approach area
of the 16th hole, with a view of the 16th green. There is a screen
door exit from the lanai where early birds will enjoy glorious
A 27" TV/DVD/VCR is available in an attractive entertainment center

- Video: Supersonic Ping Pong Ball Smashes Through Ping Pong Paddle
- Posted 6 months ago by Jack Lowe · culture · 3284 Views
As camera technology continues to advance and becomes increasingly available to the masses, super slow-motion videos have become pretty commonplace on YouTube, mainly documenting everything from watermelons to iPhones being shot at or blown apart. John Huhn from the Motion Engineering department at Purdue University's College has taken it one step further though, firing a ping pong ball at a supersonic speed and smashing it right through a solid ping pong paddle. All this was filmed at an astonishing 30,000 frames per second (ie. 1,200 times slower than normal).

List Price: $89.95Publisher: Center for Urban Policy Research (CUPR Press)Binding: PaperbackPages: 942Size: 6.00" wide x 8.75" long x 2.00" tall Weight: 2.838Language: English
The materials in American Land Planning Law are derived from decades of experience in teaching planning law at six planning schools and three law schools. Among the hypotheses included here, two are clearly vindicated in the reading. The first involves basic tenets in the approach referred to as "legal realism"—that courts play a major role in policy formation. A second hypothesis is implicit in the basic organizational principle of these materials, that planning problems arise from land use conflicts, and further, that courts have adopted distinctive policies on these conflicts.Norman Williams' organizational format is unique. The notes provided after each case have been omitted, due to a repetition that would result from what has already been said in the text. Instead, a list of questions is provided for the student to ponder, plus occasionally a necessary background, in order to focus attention on the essential turning point in each case. Williams also provides a complete list of cross-references to all standard treatises in the field, for those who wish to explore commentators' thoughts on the subject.The scope of these materials provides an exploration of the substantive problems involved in land use law, and the legal techniques which have been evolved to deal with them. The definition of this field of law as embodied in these materials focuses on urban and suburban planning problems. A quite artificial distinction between land use law and environmental law has been observed. This is an essential text containing important land use cases and should be read by all legal analysts, urban theorists and planners, and public policymakers.

We've been bringing you regular updates from Rather Square, a blog ran by Oak Park residents Laura Kesselring and John Christenson, an Oak Park husband and wife who are artists and graphic designers that recently started tackling the redesign of their 1920s historic home.
This week's post covers do-it-yourself landscaping for pruning trees.
Not all of our home improvement projects are successful… especially in the landscaping department! Today we're sharing a pruning fail in our backyard, along with our planned next steps to try and fix it. Plus a fun surprise twist at the end of the post, so keep reading!
Last time we talked about the smoke tree in our backyard was in May, when we reported on how we pruned it during the winter to try and control its growth.
You can see in the right-side photo above that the tree was looking pretty sparse. At that point in the spring, we weren't seeing much regrowth and were hoping the tree would fill in more over the summer. Well…be careful what you wish for. Only a few months later, we've got a smoky monster on our hands.
Instead of a cute and tidily-pruned smoke tree in our backyard, it's now growing up as high as the playroom windows. And it's actually engulfing the little Japanese maple and the ornamental cherry tree and other plants in that corner of the garden. The difference in last summer's tree growth and this summer's is crazy – check out this side-by-side comparison.
Rather Square also shared this helpful video on how to prune trees and bushes:

I have an older Garmin Chartplotter, the GPSMap 192C, with an internal antenna, and it works fine, both inside the cabin and under the bimini. Unless your bimini is made of mylar or some other metallic foil, it should work just fine. I believe that both units are made in both internal and external antenna forms, as were the older units.

Moving the UI Marching Band
IOWA CITY, IA (CBS2/FOX28) - The sweet sounds of the University of Iowa's marching band are now a little harder to hear.
On Thursday the band began rehearsing in a new 15-million dollar building.
The band used to play on a field along Park Road where each afternoon neighbors were able to get a taste of the football entertainment.
The nearly 250 musicians decided to move to an indoor rehearsal space because windy weather was putting them behind schedule.
That building, which is on the corner of Melrose and Mormon Trek, will also be used for sports teams' practices when the weather becomes an issue.

Man invents Assassin's Creed-style 'hidden-blade' iPhone holster
Assassins in Assassin's Creed hide spring-loaded blades in their sleeves, to devastating effect. Want to learn the second best use for an assassin's hidden blade? Well, look no further than the apartment, er — workshop — of Japanese inventor Shota Mori.
In development since 2011, the iSleeve (or whatever you'd rather call it) underwent major redesign and improvement in late 2012. Early missteps concerning iPhone ejection have been smoothed out, which is pretty important. The 2012 version, you will note, only seems to fly out of the inventor's hand once during the filming of his amazing demo video below. It also seems that he's created at least four prototypes.
Now, I can't quite tell whether it's the sheer awesomeness of the invention or the intrepid inventor's non-traditional demo video that's sold me. All I know is that I need one of these. And maybe a papier-mache head for my desk.
