Packable Pro Travel Mirror
Can't see my face -- viewing area too small
I have been trying to find a lighted travel magnifying mirror for some time and appear to be one of those people who can't use one well. I can only see a tiny part of my face when I can get anything in focus, and I really can't maneuver around to see other areas without having to start all over. I'm so close to the mirror by the time I've got something in focus that it's frustrating . So back it goes. I wonder if wearing glasses (and needing to wear glasses) is the reason for this, as various reviewers have such different reviews for this mirror. The light is not really adequate -- could be quite a bit brighter. I really like that it uses the common AA batteries instead of those exotic kinds you can't find, and it seems to be made well. I really like the on-off switch as well. The viewing angle is wrong for me also -- I had to hold it up in the air to get it to work at all. Not the right product for me, I guess.

Defective design.
I was excited to find what appeared on paper to be a great travel mirror but everything about it is wrong. The angle is wrong, it sits too low on the desk, and the magnification is wrong as I cannot see my whole face as the description promises. I have to lean way down and bring my face very close to it to get a clear image of a very small area of my face. At this point, I am too close to the mirror to be able to use an eyeliner brush. I am going back to traveling with a much smaller and wafer thin mirror that I got free with a cosmetic purchase. I wish I had returned this packable mirror as it was a waste of money.

Not for putting on makeup
The magnification is x15 which means that your face must be within an inch or two of the mirror in order to focus. Fine for discovering a hair on your chin but not for putting on makeup. Not practical for me to keep. Disappointed that postage both ways was very expensive.

Large but good
I know the measurements were stated in the description, but this mirror is kind of large to travel with. I'll probably use it at home and take my smaller one to travel with.
October 25, 2014
Helpful and handy
I have a lighted magnifying mirror at home and couldn't imagine being on a trip without one. This packs easily, opens up and able to stand on it's own, good bright light and clear magnification. Great and will be taken with us on future trips!
September 17, 2014
Not for traveling.
Just be careful to note the measurements and the weight. It is a large, heavy mirror. Too big and heavy to pack when luggage space and/or weight is limited.
May 15, 2014
Nice, but too heavy for air travel
We all need a mirror that is lighted, and light for baggage on planes. This mirror isn't it.
September 12, 2014
Disappointing purchase
I am returning this item. It is very poorly made and not what I would have expected from Travel Smith at all.

Schedule of Environmental Programs
Prince Gallitzin State Park
July 12
6:00-9:00 pm – Family Fishing
Learn and practice some basic fishing skills, then fish – no license required! The PA Fish and Boat Commission will provide equipment and bait. What's the "catch"? Adults must bring a child and children must bring an adult. Meet at the pavilion at Pickerel Pond.
July 13
3:00-4:30 pm – Forest Discovery Hike
Trees are an important part of any forest, but a group of trees does not a forest make! Join in this walk to explore all the parts of a forest, from the ground up, and how every part is important to keep a healthy forest functioning. Meet at the Point Trailhead parking lot.
8:00-9:30 pm – Bat Count
Become a scientist for the evening: help count the bats of Prince Gallitzin! Before the counting begins, find out why bats are such important creatures and how our world would not be the same without them. Learn about a disease that is attacking our bats, and gather information on how you can give bats a boost. Then as darkness begins to descend, help tally the bats as they leave their daytime roosting area. With bat numbers declining all over the northeast, each count is extremely important in determining the status of local bat populations. Children are welcome to participate, but adults able to stay through to the end of the count are needed. This bat count will be held at the old barn along Long Road. (Long Road is the road to Killbuck boat launch.) Follow signs for parking. Bring a folding chair or blanket to sit on.
July 14
10:30-11:30 am – Library at the Lake
Join the park naturalist for a nature story, and then make a neat craft to take home! This activity is open to anyone who would like to participate, but is designed for children ages 4-12. Meet at the small pavilion near the campground contact station. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
1:00-3:00 pm – Nature at the Pond
Stop by the nature table at Pickerel Pond for some hands-on learning! Discover why bats are such important creatures and compare yourself to one of these wonderful little bug-eaters.
For more information, contact Beth Garner, Environmental Education Specialist, at 814-674-1000 ext. 105 or by email at email@example.com. An online calendar of events with information on upcoming programs can also be found at www.visitPAparks.com.

Army Bicycles: The Ride Stuff
This event has already happened. Try a search for similar upcoming events.
Local, Pulitzer Prize winning author Jerry Cleveland explores how the modern bicycle attracted the attention of forward-thinking military commanders worldwide by using cutting edge technology and design when it was developed. Although eventually overshadowed by such legendary transporters as the jeep, "deuce and a half," C-47 Dakota and LST, the bicycle nevertheless played an important role. Inexpensive, efficient, and easy to maintain, bicycles are still in use in some military units.

ONAWA- A public meeting to discuss proposed development of shallow river habitat projects by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, June 28th at the Lewis & Clark State Park Visitor's Center, 21914 Park Loob, Onawa.
"We realize that there are a lot of different stakeholders who have thoughts and questions about these projects. We will have the people there who can discuss these proposals and provide the answers to the questions," said Chuck Gipp, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources who will moderate the meeting.
The shallow water habitat projects are being considered as part of the compliance requirement for the Endangered Species Act relating to operation of the Missouri River system.
State leaders are interested in hearing stakeholder input and perspectives on these projects. The meeting will include an overview presentation from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials and then a discussion of questions and comments from attendees.

At times Judge Cunningham still tackles race and gender issues. "They're a part of the fabric of our society," she observes. "But they're usually subtle and I don't let them get to me. For example, when a panel of three judges hears cases in the Appellate Court and I'm the presiding judge, I sit in the center with two junior judges on either side of me. I once asked a question to a male lawyer arguing before us. And even though I asked the questions, he often looked at my male colleagues when answering. I'm sure he wasn't even conscious of it, but I noticed."
Fast-forward to 2012's election when Judge Cunningham faced the challenge of running for Supreme Court. "That was the most difficult thing I'd ever done," admits the judge, who believes 'power brokers' influenced voters in exchange for financial benefit. "I believe the results of the election could've been different had it been allowed to play out in a natural fashion," she affirms. "But the interference of power brokers determined the outcome, and judges shouldn't be subjected to the kind of politics that were so rampant in the Supreme Court race. It wasn't a fair election, and I say that without hesitation."
Despite the loss, the judge looks ahead with a positive attitude. "When something doesn't work, I know it will pass," she states. "On the other side of a rough wind is a nice, sunny day and smooth sailing." And with her 10-year Appellate Court term finished in three years, she isn't worried about 'the next step.'
"I take it one day at a time. If I choose to be retained for another 10 years, my name will go before the voters. I haven't decided if I'll run for retention in 2016, but if I do, I hope the voters will retain me."
Judge Cunningham also feels it's essential to give back to the community. "As a minority woman who's had some degree of success in my chosen career, it's important for me to act as a role model," she says, "I've been involved in the Mikva Challenge, working with children in inner city schools to help them develop skills in debate and public speaking. They're key life skills that inner city kids aren't usually exposed to, and I feel a responsibility to offer my help."
In addition to managing a full-time career and volunteer work, Judge Cunningham somehow finds the time to participate actively in her son's school activities. "I'm the room parent for my 8-year-old's third grade class. You'd be amazed how much work that is, but it's important because he's at a new school this year. It's been a great way for me to get to know the school, teacher and parents. It's almost like a second full-time job between planning parties, collecting money for field trips, et cetera. I even compiled the class directory, which was a real chore because some of the families didn't have emails. I found myself doing this project at 1-2AM every day for a few weeks. However, I'm a high-energy person and do what I have to do to get things done at home and at the office."
Judge Cunningham's passion for her profession clearly shows, and she advises young lawyers to take a hard look at their career paths before embarking on a lifelong journey in law. "If you don't have a passion for law, sit back and give yourself time to think about how you can use the education you spent so much time, effort and money obtaining to do something different," she insists. "A law degree is very versatile and you have to be willing to seek a profession you truly love."

DA will not file charges in fatal fight-related case
Aug 13, 2013 | 10 Comments
By Paul Daquilante
Of the News-Register
Berry announced his decision in a four-page memo to Detective Michelle Formway of the McMinnville police, the lead investigator in the case.
Agcaoili died June 4 at Oregon Health and Science University of a brain injury sustained as a result of the incident, according to Berry.
In his report, Berry referred to a "suspect" group that he said consisted of Leonard "Lonnie" Cain, Brandon Hubbell, Beau Herber and Brandon "Bam" Paholio. He referred to a "victim" group, saying it was comprised off Agcaoili, Eric Christensen, Daniel Garcia and Adrian Ulloa.
Berry said the case was thoroughly investigated, and that he personally reviewed all of the evidence, police reports and various surveillance videos, including a frame-by-frame examination of the video evidence. He asked several of his deputy district attorneys to review the case facts along with the still frame video.
"This is an extremely difficult case with absolutely tragic consequences," Berry said. "The job of this office is to hold people accountable for such conduct, but we must do so within the confines of the law."
Berry added, "There is no question that the punch delivered by Brandon "Bam" Paholio caused this death, but as we are unable to disprove the evident defenses, we are not in a position to prosecute."
He gave this account:
Prior to the early morning incident, the "victim" group had been drinking throughout the day, beginning at a barbecue, then went to the China House on Southwest Baker Street before taking a cab to the Blue Moon Tavern on Northeast Third Street.
After drinking there, they walked a short distance to the Cabana Club, arriving there sometime after midnight.
The two groups began interacting about 2:15 a.m., and a series of events led up to activities starting at 2:32 a.m., which is when Agcaoili and Ulloa are seen in video supplied by the US Bank.
Ulloa turned his hat around.
According to witness statements, he was verbally engaged with Cain, and according to the video, he can be seen facing in Cain's direction.
Agcaoili turned and began to raise his arms in what looked to be an offensive posture — that is not clear — or at least a defensive stance as if something was about to happen.
Seconds later, he was punched one time by Paholio and dropped to the cement in the area of the US Bank Plaza. Paholio's momentum carried him over Agcaoili and to the ground. He is seen catching himself with his hands, and he immediately stands and moves toward where Ulloa and Cain are fighting (off video).
Christensen is seen in the video attending to Agcaoili, who is lying unconscious on the ground. Then Cain comes into the scene, and consistent with witness statements, confronts Christensen and shoves him.
The "suspect group" then moves to the north, and a vehicle is seen leaving the area. Ulloa, standing in the street, attempts to kick the vehicle.
Witness statements were obtained from all of the involved parties, according to Berry.
Statements from Ulloa, Christensen and Garcia are, at best, inconsistent with the video evidence.
Ulloa, based on the totality of the witness statements, clearly minimized his involvement in the verbal altercation and any continued escalation of the conflict, and any attempt to get Cain to fight. Cain declined to be interviewed.
Paholio was interviewed. His statement is fairly consistent with the video evidence and other witness statements, but inconsistent with some other information obtained.
He states, as did Herber, that as Agcaoili turned toward him, Paholio said something to the effect of, "You don't want to do this," or, "Stay out of it." Paholio indicates that Agcaoili swung at him, but that is not corroborated by the video.
Paholio stated that he believed Agcaoili was going to join Ulloa in fighting Cain. From the video, both Agcaoili and Ulloa are side-by-side as they turn toward the south, facing Paholio and Cain. Ulloa did not appear to notice Agcaoili being struck as he and Ulloa moved in to fight with Cain.
Paholio said Agcaoili moved toward him aggressively when he was warned to keep out of the fight. The video is unclear in that regard beyond the fact that Agcaoili clearly turned toward Paholio and raised his arms consistent with a fighting position.
"He did not retreat or move in a direction away from the altercation," Berry said. "In fact, he entered the area of the other two men, crossed paths with them much like a fighter circling and turned toward them."
Berry said he felt compelled to address some social media issues related to the case, which he said created many rumors and significant misinformation.
* Agcaoili was not jumped by a group of men, allegedly as many as four to six.
* He was not beaten while he was on the ground, and was clearly struck a single time by one individual. There was very little external injury sustained by Agcaoili (a black eye).
* There was no argument inside the Cabana Club between Cain and Agcaoili during the evening.
"This is a tragic case, but the end decision must be based on the facts and the law," Berry said. "Hopefully, as more factual information becomes available, the community will have a better understanding of what actually occurred."

Just asking..........because from the comments, it doesn't sound like it.
If he can find a charge he can reasonably hope to make stick, I think he will bring it. But if so, it's not going to be at the level, clearly, that many might hope.

The young man that hit Andrew, was not even involved with the beef between his brother and Andrew's followers. And if anyone has followed closely, Bam's brother has refused to comment.
If I read correctly, when Bam was messaged to come and help Lonnie, Bam's answer was "tell him to come home.'
This video has got to be confusing - a lot of the actions were not clear -
You have circumstances where these guys were out drinking, drunk, and looking for trouble. Did anyone deserve to die? NO -
Come on Lonnie Cain - stick up for your brother. You called for his help in a situation and you should have listened to him, and just gone home.

i really wanna go to a gay bar/club tonight. I REALLY WANT TO GO.
i also want to hook up as well but i don't feel entirely comfortable in doing so. a fuck buddy or however you want to call it. yesterday in new york, i saw so many hot guys and yo... i need some ass. it's that i'm a bit scared to do so and i don't want to just hook up with anybody either. fuck it, i'll just leave it alone. i also don't feel comfortable with other guys zoning in on me like they want my ass or something like i'm being preyed on. i've dealt with that this week already. on sunday and on tuesday. i guess the more i put myself outthere around other gay men, my "telfon", virgin status is in risk of being taken away. i dunno if i want to lose my virginity just yet.
i think i'll just wait it out.

I've thought about it before... but it'd probably end up with my my facebook profile being friended by people I don't actually know. Maybe that sounds snotty, but I really do use it to keep in contact with people and I don't want to have to be turning down people - I feel rude. And it'd just be silly if I didn't join the group/fanlisting myself.
Plus I'm trying to keep my married name out of public intarweb knowledge.
(I already tried to make a "Lady Yates" profile... it won't let me)
So....... I dunno! Am I being weird about this or no?

...Come to think of it I don't recall you ever mentioning Eric's surname. But I don't think you're being weird about this, my mother insisted I create a facebook profile for her and then she insisted I create a fake name similar to her own. Now that is weird.

A compromise would be to make a profile of your maiden name, which is associated with Earthsong's production anyway, and keep your married name private, as you have been. but i don't know how FB's sign-up procedures work, so i'm not sure how feasible that is.

It should work, though it's been close to a year since I've created a facebook. I never use it, the site confuses me.
It's perfectly understandable that you don't want to use your married name, I don't think you'd hurt anyone's feelings b not using that one. I second space's idea.

Facebook is pretty personal for me, and I have no qualms about turning people away. You're not crazy, Lady.
I do like the idea of a group, though. And I'm fairly sure you can create a new profile with Lady Yates; after all, who are they to tell you your name isn't Lady? You'll just need a new e-mail.

Or one of us could do it, and just mention that we're being a proxy to protect the Lady's anonymity.
But yeah, I've been friended by people I barely said two words two in high school. I think it happens to everyone.

While I think an Earthsong group would be a fun thing to have, but I can understand the Lady's reservations about mass-friending.
I've been friended by people who probably thought I was stark raving mad back in senior school and most of the time I don't even get a courtesy Wall post! (I STILL am stark raving mad, but that's neither here nor there as far I'm concerned. XP) But since I put up my security to crazy high, I've not really had that.
That having been said, I do use it mainly to keep up with the friends I have made out here, and to stay in touch with friends from home.
But perhaps like Cypher says, you can set up a dummy e-mail purely for Facebooking as Lady Yates, and therefore a dummy facebook account? I know someone at my university managed to set one up for a fictional character from one of our textbooks, so it must be doable.

I don't see it as something really personal myself, but I suppose I don't actually USE it for anything other than it's Email/PM functions. It's probably a bigger deal if one actually puts effort into maintaining one's profile with the current moods and whatnot...

The thing I like about Facebook is how personal it can be-no crazy strangers knowing where my friends and I are headed this weekend for me, thank you very much. Turn them away, I say, turn them away! *waves a lit torch crazily about*
That's not to say I trust Facebook implicitly. Never, ever trust the Internet.
So yeah, I probably wouldn't join an Earthsong group, even if all you fine people were on it-it's all the coarse people I fear.

After her career with the Growers Association, Mary worked as a Secretary at the Bolivar County Sherriff's office for several years.
Faith and family were central to Mary's life where she devoted much of her time to these callings. Mary was a proud member of First Baptist Church of Cleveland and her strong sense of faith was evident to all who knew her. She was also a wonderful homemaker and mother.
Mary is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Don and Carolyn Frey of Lake Kiowa, Texas; two grandchildren and their families, Ryan, Stephanie and Wyatt Frey of Austin, Texas and Scott, Valeri and Victoria Wickersham of North Richland Hills, Texas.
A gathering of friends and family will be held at Ray's Funeral Home, 206 Bishop Road, Cleveland on Saturday, November 24, 2012.. Visitation will begin at 11:00am and a celebration of life service officiated by Rev. Milton Burd will begin at 12:00pm.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Results were not as good as I had hoped... - 7/30/2009 10:14:09 AM After reading all of the great reviews, I expecting some good results, but it didn't happen. My freckles didn't fade, my pores look the same, and my fine lines look the same too. Not a keeper... back to the drawing board.It does what is says!!! - 2/28/2009 7:54:03 AM I have been using Mama Lotion for about 6 months now and I absolutely love it!!! I suffer from adult acne unfortunately and use Mama Lotion alternating with ProActiv at night time only. I find that using a very basic moisturizer on top of it results in beautiful glowing skin in the morning, but do wait the full 10-15 minutes for the Mama Lotion to fully absorb. It has helped reduce my breakouts and has helped with the scarring as well. I have not had any problems with the pump (so far) as some other reviewers have had. This is definitely a product to use whether you suffer from acne or not, you're guaranteed beautiful skin!caused breakout... beware! - 2/10/2009 7:34:49 PM I was hoping MaMa Lotion would help with brown spots on my face. Unfortunately I never found out because it caused my skin to break out with tiny whiteheads every time I tried using it.Pick Up Where Retinoids Left Off - 12/30/2008 3:28:35 PM Due to skin issues since I was 10-I am now 48-I have spent untold dollars on products,RX's,doctor visits,multiple chemical peels(TCA) as well as laser procedures to deal with resistant hyperpigmentation. After internal issues were diagnoised and treated it did much to help with the serious areas. Still, until this product, I thought I had gone as far as I could, as I was unable to get rid of some stains on my cheeks. Avage brought me so far, MaMa brought me further. I never in my life would have thought I would be the one to be able to go without makeup and I always now get comments on how great my skin looks-this for a person who never thought her outside would match how she felt inside. Remember-IT ONLY WORKS (LASTS) IF YOU WEAR SUNSCREEN. MY DERMO SAYS NOTHING LESS THAN SPF 45. I reccomend Actifirm. ymmvNot A Fan - 12/2/2008 1:05:58 PM I bought this hoping for great results. It had a burning sensation as soon as I put it on. I am used to strong lotions but this did not feel good. The worst part is the smell of it. I made me sick to my stomach. It didn't fade either it woke me up at night. It is still sitting there useless. I wanted to put it on my chest or other body part just to use it up, but I can't get past the smell.Stung my Face - 10/31/2008 8:26:07 PM Unfortunately, this product developed an irritating rash on my face after using it about a month. At first a little tingling, then a full on red, ugly rash. I tossed out the bottle. If you have sensitive skin, be warned.Excellent! - 9/21/2008 9:41:37 AM I absolutely love this lotion. However, I would NOT recommend using moisturizer on top of this lotion as it's compatibility with other creams is questionable. This product is perfectly suitable to be used solo. Very effective and produces superior results.Amazing! - 9/10/2008 9:38:50 PM I have been using this for only a couple weeks- I had not really been paying attention, but I looked in a store bathroom with those awful flourescent lights...and my skin looked great! It was much more even and less brown patches. I am a cosmetics junkie and this is one of the few things that has ever lived up to it's promise! I hope my skin gets better and better! One word of advice- it takes a while to dry maybe 20+ min on me, and it is sticky in the meantime, but just bear with it!Wonderful for Clearer Skin - 8/8/2008 12:35:29 PM I love this product! It has cleared my skin quite well and somehow seems to moisturize overnight! I use it 2-3 x per week to keep my acne-prone skin in check. I've been using it for about six months, and still have half a bottle left. Try it alone with only an eye and lip moisturizer--I would never put a moisturizer over this product. I took a 1/2 star because the pump has stuck a couple of times. I hope they discover a better system than the pump.Unhappy - 8/5/2008 8:33:33 PM Bought it because of the great ratings, but like someone else, the pump mechinism on mine did not work. It dried to a thin film on my skin and came off with the application of a moisturizer on top of it. Rats. -

Casual Brewer: Ryan Braun
Baseball January 15th, 2010
I like pictures of the Brewers outside of their uniforms. Casual Brewers if you will. Feel free to create a caption.
Clearly, there is a God. This picture exists.
And since we're here I wanted to tell you this too.
Let's face it folks, Ryan Braun has become a clubhouse problem child. We all know what he did last year, calling out players all while hot dogging it out on the field and embarassing the franchise in general.
After watching Ryan CHARGE the Dodgers clubhouse last year after a game, I knew it was time to trade this guy.
I'd be happy with getting a 2010 1st round draft pick, and a few mid-level minor league prospect for Braun.
What are the chances of finding a team that is willing to take this malcontent of our hands?
I've had it up to here with his poor attitude and sloppy play.
Oh ESPN Brewers message board, you complete me.
That's all for this week. We really enjoyed telling you about our gay Brewers fantasies. The ensuing comments, not so much. We'll be back Monday with some actual content. Most likely.

Post subject: How Willow came to be?
Ok we all must have our theories for how Willow was created. Here is few of mine
1 - Willow is form from escaping element from Earthsong's core. Because of the 'foster' children having fully form soulstones already, the element fused together until they could make a being.
2 - That the Sidera took some of Earthsong's element and made her to help Earthsong defeat Beluosus.
3 - That when she was made in the future after the soulstone plague was dealt with fully and was misstatken for a soulstone.

Beluosus's comments seem to suggest that he had some hand in her creation so I suspect he might have initiated the process.
Assuming he wasn't lying this suggests Willow was meant to harm Earthsong or at the very least give Beluosus some power over her.

I do think that was meant that because he had infused her with his element.

Well one thing I've read is that Willow looks close to human because of the planet's admiration for Terra so at least subconciously Willow was molded by her mother. I think that rules out 2 and if what Bel said was true about the other planets keeping secrets I doubt that admiration will last into the future so I think we can rule out 3 as well making 1 the most likely scenario.
Still I don't know I think something more complicated and sinister is in the works. I think this relates to whatever secrets are being kept by the other planets. Bel seemed surprised but hardly shocked about Willow the Eve and all suggesting he knew something like this could or perhaps even would happen. I don't think this was a happy accident or intentional boone.

What we know is that Bel is angry that ES got the job of keeper, that he knows how to make an Eve, and that she doesn't.
From this, I'd say that there are some probably fairly innocuous things a planet can do to create an Eve--perhaps too unlikely to happen randomly, but with a little nudging...--and/or that and Eve is made with some missing piece that a planet is given.
This could also explain why Bel's planet got roasted--he needed something in his Eve or his planet to make ES's Eve. This would be either rage-induced or petty, but he could just be trying to make ES not a safe place for soulstone-bearers, given that his planet was decided as such for having an Eve. I believe that the Lady has said Bel's planet/children will come up as a plot point, and I assumed that meant they were alive, but maybe they were just needed...
After that, he realized it wasn't working and gave up, moving on to other things. What he didn't know is that (assumption alert) in order for a planet to create an Eve, the planet must
one. ES was willing to put that aside to protect the 'orphans' but recently her heart has been in it less and less. Zaebos says something like this
. This is also reflected some in her relationship with Nanashi.
When ES started wanting an Eve, some force of will was put into the mass later known as Willow. This could be why Willow has so little of Bel in her, even though he calls her 'our daughter;' It may have been both of their
, but ES shaped her.

What if Bel's planet was destroyed because he killed his eve and then he stole some of ES's element on page 106 to make Willow.

The people murmur at the account of the spies. (1-4) Joshua and Caleb labour to still the people. (5-10) The Divine threatenings, The intercession of Moses. (11-19) The murmurers forbidden to enter the promised land. (20-35) Death of the evil spies. (36-39) Defeat of the people, who now would invade the land. (40-45)
Verses 1-4 Those who do not trust God, continually vex themselves. The sorrow of the world worketh death. The Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron, and in them reproached the Lord. They look back with causeless discontent. See the madness of unbridled passions, which makes men prodigal of what nature accounts most dear, life itself. They wish rather to die criminals under God's justice, than to live conquerors in his favour. At last they resolve, that, instead of going forward to Canaan, they would go back to Egypt. Those who walk not in God's counsels, seek their own ruin. Could they expect that God's cloud would lead them, or his manna attend them? Suppose the difficulties of conquering Canaan were as they imagined, those of returning to Egypt were much greater. We complain of our place and lot, and we would change; but is there any place or condition in this world, that has not something in it to make us uneasy, if we are disposed to be so? The way to better our condition, is to get our spirits in a better frame. See the folly of turning from the ways of God. But men run on the certain fatal consequences of a sinful course.
Verses 5-10 Moses and Aaron were astonished to see a people throw away their own mercies. Caleb and Joshua assured the people of the goodness of the land. They made nothing of the difficulties in the way of their gaining it. If men were convinced of the desirableness of the gains of religion, they would not stick at the services of it. Though the Canaanites dwell in walled cities, their defence was departed from them. The other spies took notice of their strength, but these of their wickedness. No people can be safe, when they have provoked God to leave them. Though Israel dwell in tents, they are fortified. While we have the presence of God with us, we need not fear the most powerful force against us. Sinners are ruined by their own rebellion. But those who, like Caleb and Joshua, faithfully expose themselves for God, are sure to be taken under his special protection, and shall be hid from the rage of men, either under heaven or in heaven.
Verses 11-19 Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him. The pardon of a nation's sin, is the turning away the nation's punishment; and for that Moses is here so earnest. Moses argued that, consistently with God's character, in his abundant mercies, he could forgive them.
Verses 20-35 The Lord granted the prayer of Moses so far as not at once to destroy the congregation. But disbelief of the promise forbids the benefit. Those who despise the pleasant land shall be shut out of it. The promise of God should be fulfilled to their children. They wished to die in the wilderness; God made their sin their ruin, took them at their word, and their carcases fell in the wilderness. They were made to groan under the burden of their own sin, which was too heavy for them to bear. Ye shall know my breach of promise, both the causes of it, that it is procured by your sin, for God never leaves any till they first leave him; and the consequences of it, that will produce your ruin. But your little ones, now under twenty years old, which ye, in your unbelief, said should be a prey, them will I bring in. God will let them know that he can put a difference between the guilty and the innocent, and cut them off without touching their children. Thus God would not utterly take away his loving kindness.
Verses 36-39 Here is the sudden death of the ten evil spies. They sinned in bringing a slander upon the land of promise. Those greatly provoke God, who misrepresent religion, raise dislike in men's minds toward it, or give opportunity to those to do so, who seek occasion. Justly are murmurers made mourners. If they had mourned for the sin, when they were faithfully reproved, the sentence had been prevented; but as they mourned for the judgment only, it did them no service. There is in hell such mourning as this; but tears will not quench the flames, nor cool the tongue.
Verses 40-45 Some of the Israelites were now earnest to go forward toward Canaan. But it came too late. If men would but be as earnest for heaven while their day of grace lasts, as they will be when it is over, how well would it be for them! That which has been duty in its season, when mistimed, may be turned into sin. Those who are out of the way of their duty, are not under God's protection, and go at their peril. God bade them go, and they would not; he forbade them, and they would go. Thus is the carnal mind enmity against God. They had distrusted God's strength; they now presume upon their own without his. And the expedition fails accordingly; now the sentence began to be executed, that their carcases should fall in the wilderness. That affair can never end well, which begins with sin. The way to obtain peace with our friends, and success against our enemies, is, to have God, as our Friend, and to keep in his love. Let us take warning from the fate of Israel, lest we perish after the same example of unbelief. Let us go forth, depending on God's mercy, power, promise, and truth; he will be with us, and bring our souls to everlasting rest.
Numbers 14:1-45 . THE PEOPLE MURMUR AT THE SPIES' REPORT.
1. all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried--Not literally all, for there were some exceptions.
2-4. Would God that we had died in Egypt--Such insolence to their generous leaders, and such base ingratitude to God, show the deep degradation of the Israelites, and the absolute necessity of the decree that debarred that generation from entering the promised land [ Numbers 14:29-35 ]. They were punished by their wishes being granted to die in that wilderness [ Hebrews 3:17 , Jude 1:5 ]. A leader to reconduct them to Egypt is spoken of ( Nehemiah 9:17 ) as actually nominated. The sinfulness and insane folly of their conduct are almost incredible. Their conduct, however, is paralleled by too many among us, who shrink from the smallest difficulties and rather remain slaves to sin than resolutely try to surmount the obstacles that lie in their way to the Canaan above.
5. Moses and Aaron fell on their faces--as humble and earnest suppliants--either to the people, entreating them to desist from so perverse a design; or rather, to God, as the usual and only refuge from the violence of that tumultuous and stiff-necked rabble--a hopeful means of softening and impressing their hearts.
6. Joshua . . . and Caleb, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes--The two honest spies testified their grief and horror, in the strongest manner, at the mutiny against Moses and the blasphemy against God; while at the same time they endeavored, by a truthful statement, to persuade the people of the ease with which they might obtain possession of so desirable a country, provided they did not, by their rebellion and ingratitude, provoke God to abandon them.
8. a land flowing with milk and honey--a general expression, descriptive of a rich and fertile country. The two articles specified were among the principal products of the Holy Land.
9. their defence is departed--Hebrew, "their shadow." The Sultan of Turkey and the Shah of Persia are called "the shadow of God," "the refuge of the world." So that the meaning of the clause, "their defence is departed from them," is, that the favor of God was now lost to those whose iniquities were full ( Genesis 15:16 ), and transferred to the Israelites.
10. the glory of the Lord appeared--It was seasonably manifested on this great emergency to rescue His ambassadors from their perilous situation.
12. the Lord said, . . . I will smite them with the pestilence--not a final decree, but a threatening, suspended, as appeared from the issue, on the intercession of Moses and the repentance of Israel.
17. let the power of my Lord be great--be magnified.
21. all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord--This promise, in its full acceptation, remains to be verified by the eventual and universal prevalence of Christianity in the world. But the terms were used restrictively in respect to the occasion, to the report which would spread over all the land of the "terrible things in righteousness" [ Psalms 65:5 ] which God would do in the infliction of the doom described, to which that rebellious race was now consigned.
22. ten times--very frequently.
24. my servant Caleb--Joshua was also excepted, but he is not named because he was no longer in the ranks of the people, being a constant attendant on Moses.
because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully--Under the influence of God's Spirit, Caleb was a man of bold, generous, heroic courage, above worldly anxieties and fears.
25. (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley)--that is, on the other side of the Idumean mountain, at whose base they were then encamped. Those nomad tribes had at that time occupied it with a determination to oppose the further progress of the Hebrew people. Hence God gave the command that they seek a safe and timely retreat into the desert, to escape the pursuit of those resolute enemies, to whom, with their wives and children, they would fall a helpless prey because they had forfeited the presence and protection of God. This verse forms an important part of the narrative and should be freed from the parenthetical form which our English translators have given it.
30. save Caleb . . . and Joshua--These are specially mentioned, as honorable exceptions to the rest of the scouts, and also as the future leaders of the people. But it appears that some of the old generation did not join in the mutinous murmuring, including in that number the whole order of the priests ( Joshua 14:1 ).
34. ye shall know my breach of promise--that is, in consequence of your violation of the covenant betwixt you and Me, by breaking the terms of it, it shall be null and void on My part, as I shall withhold the blessings I promised in that covenant to confer on you on condition of your obedience.
36-38. those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord--Ten of the spies struck dead on the spot--either by the pestilence or some other judgment. This great and appalling mortality clearly betokened the hand of the Lord.
40-45. they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain--Notwithstanding the tidings that Moses communicated and which diffused a general feeling of melancholy and grief throughout the camp, the impression was of very brief continuance. They rushed from one extreme of rashness and perversity to another, and the obstinacy of their rebellious spirit was evinced by their active preparations to ascend the hill, notwithstanding the divine warning they had received not to undertake that enterprise.
for we have sinned--that is, realizing our sin, we now repent of it, and are eager to do as Caleb and Joshua exhorted us--or, as some render it, though we have sinned, we trust God will yet give us the land of promise. The entreaties of their prudent and pious leader, who represented to them that their enemies, scaling the other side of the valley, would post themselves on the top of the hill before them, were disregarded. How strangely perverse the conduct of the Israelites, who, shortly before, were afraid that, though their Almighty King was with them, they could not get possession of the land; and yet now they act still more foolishly in supposing that, though God were not with them, they could expel the inhabitants by their unaided efforts. The consequences were such as might have been anticipated. The Amalekites and Canaanites, who had been lying in ambuscade expecting their movement, rushed down upon them from the heights and became the instruments of punishing their guilty rebellion.
45. even unto Hormah--The name was afterwards given to that place in memory of the immense slaughter of the Israelites on this occasion.

Courtesy Townsend Farms Inc.This is a sample of some of the packaging for recalled Townsend Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berries.(UPDATED COVERAGE, June 6 ) A hepatitis A outbreak linked to an organic berry mix from Townsend Farms Inc. is spreading while the farm is under federal investigation and facing multiple lawsuits.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 61 people from seven states have hepatitis A linked to Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berries from Townsend Farms Inc., Fairview, Ore., as of June 5.
Eleven people have been hospitalized. The first reported illness was April 29. The states involved are Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Hawaii.
Calls to Townsend were referred to attorney William Gaar, who did not return calls for comment.
An unknown amount of the product was shipped to Costco Warehouse Corp. stores and Harris Teeter stores. Of the 30 sick people interviewed, 22 reported consuming product purchased at Costco, but the CDC said no illnesses had been reported by Harris Teeter customers as of June 5.
Retailers acted quickly
Both retailers began removing the berries from stores and notifying their customers days before Townsend recalled them, company sources said. The berry mix includes strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries and pomegranate arils.
Townsend recalled the berries June 3, four days after the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration warned retailers and the public to discard the product. The recall included incorrect identification numbers for the Harris Teeter branded product. That information was corrected June 5.
Craig Wilson, vice president for food safety at Issaquah, Wash.-based Costco said the chain sold about 330,000 bags of the berry blend between February and May 29 when they began pulling the product.
Danna Jones, spokeswoman for Harris Teeter, Matthews, N.C., said that chain began removing the berries from stores June 1. She didn't know how many bags of the frozen berries the chain had sold.
In their recall, Townsend's president and vice president Mike and Margaret Townsend said they took action because of a hepatitis A outbreak in another country. None of the company's product has returned positive results for hepatitis A, they said in the recall notice.
"Townsend Farms is implementing this voluntary recall after learning that one of the ingredients of the frozen Organic Antioxidant Blend, pomegranate seeds processed in Turkey, may be linked to an illness outbreak outside of the U.S.," according to the company release.

Popchips say, "We don't fry it (unhealthy). We don't bake it (undelicious). We take wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, and pop! It's a chip. The only thing added is a flavorful blend of seasonings for a snack so delicious and crispy, you won't even notice it's (we hesitate to say) healthier." Hey - I don't think baked chips are 'undelicious' nonetheless, we have to agree about the deliciousness of Popchips Cheddar and Popchips Original. I wanted to try more flavors, so I picked up a bag of Popchips Sour Cream & Onion.
I've had Sour Cream & Onion chips before, and I surprised myself by liking the intense flavor. The Popchips version has a much milder flavor, which I liked, but not as much as others I've had. The chips are a little thicker than regular potato chips, but somehow more airy - I guess that's the "pop" in "Popchips." There is a little residue that gets left on the fingers - but not much. I have to admit this was not one of my favorite Popchips varieties because of the mild flavor.
Each bag (23 grams) provides 100 calories, 11% of the daily value for sodium, 1 gram of fiber and protein plus 2 grams of sugars.
I got these Popchips Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips as a sample when I attended the 2010 Summer Fancy Food Show and Food Fete, but these retail for about $1.29 per bag. The ingredients list is all natural.
I'm sitting here eating these Popchips and drinking a Cocoa Cola Zero, and I feel like I want something else. I don't think it's the Coke Zero, so that tells me that I wasn't really satisfied with the flavor of these chips, and probably wouldn't buy it again ... time to dig into my goody bag and try something else I got from the Fancy Food Show - and it won't be the Bacon or Pizza Flavored Jones Soda - trust me, they were both weird tasting.

Weekly addresses put State of the Union in spotlight
POSTED: Saturday, February 16, 2013 - 9:00pm
UPDATED: Saturday, February 16, 2013 - 9:04pm
CNN — President Barack Obama and GOP Rep. Martha Roby turned to this week's State of the Union in their weekly addresses Saturday as each offered priorities for federal spending.
Obama broadly outlined the proposals he argued for Tuesday and stood by his claim that the initiatives would not increase the federal deficit, though he provided no details about the costs or plans to pay for them.
"These steps will help grow our economy and rebuild a rising, thriving middle class," the president said. "And we can do it while shrinking our deficits. We don't have to choose between the two - we just have to make smart choices."
His ambitious plan includes investment in research, technology, preschool programs and improved high school education. Obama also called for tax reform, immigration reform and increasing the minimum wage.
He took his agenda on the road this week to North Carolina, Georgia and his hometown of Chicago, where he spoke about strong communities and against gun violence. He did not mention gun control in his weekly address.
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, the deadline to replace across-the-board spending cuts of the sequester with cuts more palatable to either or both parties is fast approaching.
Roby, a Republican from Alabama, blamed the sequester on Obama and explained how it would hurt her district.
"Fort Rucker would lose 500 students training to be combat aviators and roughly 37,000 hours of aviation training," she said. "These numbers are astonishing. And remember, this is just one set of cuts at one base."
She criticised Obama for "using the military he leads as leverage in an ideological crusade for higher taxes."
While the government is wasting money, she said, Obama should not be contemplating tax increases.
Instead, the president should look at the sequester alternatives passes by the Republican-led House, she said.
It is expected to be a quiet week on Capitol Hill with lawmakers out of town. Obama spends the weekend on vacation in Florida.

Two Country Club Hills election judges were dismissed Monday after officials learned they had attempted to set up voting equipment days before they were scheduled to do so.
"We had gotten calls from voters that these judges were in the voting supply carriers on Friday," said Courtney Greve, spokesperson for Cook County Clerk David Orr.
The judges, a mother and son, were supposed to go into the polling area with the other judges on Monday.
"No one should have been in there Friday," Greve said.
Country Club Hills residents are voting today on a hotly contested referendum to reduce the number of aldermen from two per ward to one per ward in the village. Greve said there was no way to know the dismissed judges' intentions.
Greve said investigators were sent in to make sure all the equipment was secure, even though it is virtually impossible to get away with stuffing the ballot box because a zero tape is run when the poll opens on election day, ensuring that there are no existing votes.
"We know they weren't able to impact the vote in any way," Greve said. "But what they did was inappropriate."

Secret Keeper Girl
03.05.13 |
The world seeks to empower women, but one of the greatest powers you can teach your daughter is the power of modesty.
"Secret Keeper Girl Live" is coming to Williamsville and Painted Post in April and seeks to teach preteen girls and their moms the secrets of true beauty. The show was developed from a series of books by Dannah Gresh - a best-selling author and speaker who encourages tweens to be modest and pursue purity.
Suzy Weibel, a lead facilitator of the show, also shares a passion for this age group and the struggles they face today. "Society has a definition of what being feminine and beautiful looks like," Weibel said. "And none of that really matches up to what the Bible says. Society's idea of beauty is pretty unattainable and distorted. You don't necessarily have to be a Christian to see this problem and value modesty."
The two and a half hour event features dramatized stories, fun fashion shows, a balloon sculptured stage, bouncing beach ball competitions, and confetti cannons. "The fashion show is an important aspect of the tour, Weibel said. "We use it to show the girls what modesty looks like, and they get to model the clothes, too."
Most importantly, the show works in time for personal mother/daughter conversations, hoping to encourage honest dialogue and healthy relationship-building. Weibel says, "Families are given time to talk about what they're seeing and hearing. This is great reinforcement, because many times the girls have questions relating to peer pressure and what's popular at school. This gives moms a chance to speak into the personal struggles of their children."
