This serum is light in texture and absorbs pretty quickly but I haven't noticed any firming or lifting to my eye area. I actually use it more as a primer since it's doesn't leave a residue. The cost is moderate for a drugstore product and now that I'm close to finishing the bottle, nothing seems to be coming out. I probably wouldn't buy it again unless it was on sale.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this for about a month now. The serum comes in a tiny, tiny bottle that you pump the product from (costs about $18.00 USD). A few little, bitty dabs'll do you for both eyes, so I expect the bottle to last awhile. So far, I have definately noticed that the dark circles under my eyes have greatly diminished (I no longer have to use concealer under my eyes). I do have a few wrinkles under one of my eyes that don't seem to want to budge, so I can't really say that this has done much for wrinkles or fine lines. There is a faint shimmer that I can detect on my fingertips after application, but do not see at all under my eyes. There is no detectable scent at all and it did not irritate my eye area in the least. I will continue to purchase.

This works...let me say it again...THIS WORKS!!! I love this product..my entire eye area is smooth and tighter. I was shocked when my fine lines smoothed out and my eyelids were lifted and I swear some of the creppiness on my eyelids was gone. This was such a shock that I asked my hubby to look at me and tell me if he noticed anything different....after a minute he said "yeah your eyes look really pretty, I can't see your laugh lines anymore!" WoooHooo!!!!! At night I layer the Olay eye cream over this, just to give a little more moisture under my eyes. This stuff is awesome...even if it is somewhat expensive for a drugstore brand, it lasts a long time so its worth it to me!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this one for free, and I'm glad it didn't cost me anything. I was very excited about trying it out, but I could only stand it for a week. The gold shimmer totally accentuated any fine lines I wanted to eliminate, and it didn't do nothing for my wrinkles. It didn't sink in the skin as well as other eyecreams I used, so my eye shadow would smear. I don't have dark circles, so I guess this product is not for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't know what everyone is raving about!!! What am I missing?!? I'm 40, have a few under eye wrinkles and have been using this for almost a week. I've seen better results with vitamin E oil. I don't get it!!!
I'll keep using this because of the good reviews, but so far I'm not impressed...
I have been using this product for a week now.And can very confidently say that this product is all show no play.
Its very heavy on the eyes,make my eyes go watery after application and it gives the eyes a 'tired look'.
I have tried other products in the past like SebaMed's eye cream & Garnier Eye Cream,which I found to be much,much better than the Olay Regenerist Eye Serum.
I would really not advise anyone to even try this product and would even go on to add that P&G should discontinue it.
I've tried many anti-aging products and the bottom line is that at best I have seen slight improvement, but I haven't found any miracles. In the end, Vitamin E Oil has been just as effective around my eyes, for significantly less money.
not bad, but it doesn't stay on my under eyes long enough to really do anything cause my eyes water so much it runs off. I like that it's a yellow tint (thus reduces appearance of dark circles) and it's wierdly... brightening the skin around my eyes. as in, it appears to be slightly *bleaching* the skin a bit. I'm sure it's not bleaching but it's somehow lightened the skin - even when I'm not wearing it. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I put "yes" to buying it again but I'm not sure that I will - if I can somehow apply it without it irritating my eyes into weeping for 15 minutes, then I'll be happy. most skin products do this to me, it's rare they don't. I'm thinking about applying it with a concealer brush for greater accuracy and so it won't touch my eyelashes.
Edit to add 23/06/10
Nope. No matter how I apply it, it makes my eyes run. My sensitive eyes just can't take it. :( Still looking for an eye serum I can use.
I find this to be a lightweight, non-greasy, eye serum that moisturizes well. Dous it do miracles -- no; but I think it is a good everyday product. I apply it before my makeup and by the time I am applying my mineral concealer/foundation it goes on perfectly.
As other reviewers have said, this is no miracle cure for wrinkles. But it is CHEAP for an eye serum, it's gentle on my very sensitive eye area (I get reactions to Clinique products under my eyes... it's a nightmare to find something that my skin won't reject), and it has good moisturizing properties. When I'm short on $, this is my go-to product to keep my eye area moist, and give a little extra plump to the "smile lines" at the tops of my cheeks, which are the bane of my existance. I love the packaging because it's tiny, and the pump locks for travel. From a cost-benefit perspective, I've not found anything better... yet.

Yates estimates that Spring Valley Ranch would bring an additional 3,500 residents to the county, adding an additional 8,000 trips per day to the roads; the projected 1,200 additional students in the schools would hike district operating costs by $8 million. Heggemeier says his company is prepared to meet all the requisite impact fees and more, including an additional $400,000 payment to the Elizabeth School District and other payments to the sheriff's office, the county's economic development board and various other groups.
"We're definitely paying our own way," he says. "We've volunteered over and above what was required of us."
Metli is particularly pleased with the plan to set aside 1,000 acres of the 2,232-acre development as open space. But both he and Heggemeier readily acknowledge that more than a quarter of that space could become a second golf course, if demand warrants it.
And it probably will. Spring Valley's houses will range in price from $275,000 to $500,000, and the high-end buyers may expect two golf courses. "We believe the person coming out here is looking for low crime, a little bit of the country," Heggemeier says. "But they're also looking for some of the amenities they have in town."
But when do the amenities take over and the country disappears?
That's what Jesse Yates would like to know. He moved his family to Elbert County five years ago, fleeing the sprawl of Parker. "We didn't like the way it was growing, and fourteen miles east of us was a nice piece of land," he recalls.
Now he faces the prospect of a high-density subdivision practically next door, built by the same company responsible for the 3,200-unit Canterbury Estates in east Parker. He's put up a website (www.stopspringvalleyranch.com) and even purchased space on billboards in the area to try to alert his neighbors to the "traumatic" effects Spring Valley could have on already crowded schools and roads. But most of his neighbors seem oblivious to his protests.
"These are individuals who moved out here because they don't want to be bothered," Yates says. "They don't see how it's going to affect them down the road. The tipping point may be the next Spring Valley, or the one after that."
Tim Lyons builds spec and pre-sold houses on ten-acre lots outside of Elizabeth. A 2,400-square-foot home, with enough land for a horse and breathing space from your neighbor, goes for around $375,000.
"I like growth," he says. "That's my livelihood. I'd like it to look better than Highlands Ranch."
Yet as larger developers set their sights on the northwest corner of the county, Lyons wonders about the increasing strains on services and quality of life that high-density growth will bring. "Most of the small developers live out here, and they do a good job," he says. "I could make a lot more money doing smaller lots, but it's a burden on the county. Do I have to take every dollar to the grave?"
Lyons lives in the same area in which he builds. His wife is on the local school board, and he served on the county planning commission for eight years. "Elbert County is a blank canvas," he says. "The planning department does the best it can with the resources it has. But political leadership in this county, whether it's pro- or anti-growth -- there's no real foresight. People run for political office for all the wrong reasons. I've watched the leadership flounder around. There's been a lack of imagination and creativity in addressing the problem."
John Dunn hardly ever voted to approve residential developments during his years as a county commissioner, but he was frequently outvoted. He, too, believes that the growth problem requires better and more unified leadership. He and his friend Draper belong to a watchdog group that's determined to put new blood in the commissioner seats this fall, now that two of the three seats are up for grabs.
"This is a critical election," he says. "We have to have people in there who can recognize the problems and take the proper actions while there's still time."
Dunn and Draper say they were ostracized by the local GOP leadership two years ago for the heresy of backing a Democratic candidate for commissioner. (She lost.) "A Republican has to be a dead dog lying in the street not to be elected in this county," Draper notes.
This time around, the watchdog group believes it's found a slate of candidates who happen to be Republican and, perhaps, less gung-ho about adding rooftops than the current bunch. One contender who's won their approval is Ben Duke, a rancher who raises beef cattle south of Elizabeth and works part-time at Urban Peak in Denver.
Duke is hardly an anti-growth fanatic. With Elizabeth already transformed into a bedroom community, he says, it's difficult to bar the door to a rising tide of commuters. "It's unrealistic to say there should be no growth," he points out. "I'm in favor of balanced growth. We're never going to have the outlet malls or Park Meadows. But we could have more small shops, clean industries and offices for people who want to live and work here."

Georgians need to support TSPLOST
Georgia's history of progress is, in part, a tale of investment in transportation. Beginning with the port of Savannah in the 1700s and an extensive rail network in the 1800s, Georgia grew strong and prosperous because our ancestors understood the importance of building these vital economic connections.
It happened again after World War II with the development of the world's most utilized international airport. We became the leader of the New South when we added a first-rate highway system that tied together our rural and urban communities and connected Georgia to the rest of our country.
Today, after decades of inadequate and inefficient transportation investment, our future economic growth is threatened by crumbling infrastructure and inadequate capacity. We are now challenged to invest in our continued growth and prosperity, and it is critical that we, like our ancestors, step up to the generational responsibility of maintaining and expanding our state's transportation network.
That challenge will appear on the ballot next year in each of the state's 12 transportation regions. Georgians will be asked to approve a one-percent increase in the sales tax to fund strategic transportation infrastructure projects.
Reaching this decision point was a sometimes challenging exercise in local and statewide planning and cooperation. For almost a year, city and county officials in each region compiled lists of important improvements. The Georgia Department of Transportation studied those lists and coordinated the requests. The result is a plan for $16-19 billion worth of projects to be funded over the next 10 years by the one-percent increase.
Here's why this process makes sense for Georgia:
• Local officials and citizens – those most knowledgeable about local needs – put together the lists.
• Funds for those projects will be raised and spent entirely within those districts. The first 75 percent will fund each region's projects and the remaining 25 percent will be given to the region's cities and counties to spend on hometown transportation improvements with the greatest impact.
In other words, local decision makers determined local transportation needs and will receive 100 percent of the new revenues in their region to address those needs. Local communities are taking care of themselves, not waiting for action from Washington.
Citizens have a choice. The regions that approve the ballot question will get to use the money for their own local and regional improvements. Those that turn down the investment opportunity may save pennies, but will miss an important opportunity to position for economic growth and the jobs and dollars that come with it.
Why is this investment such an important step? First of all, this comes at a juncture when roads and bridges around the state need critical maintenance. Secondly, population growth has outstripped our investment in transportation infrastructure and we must add capacity to catch up.
As we seek to make Georgia more competitive economically, it is imperative that we have a highway system that promises business access to and from markets for both their people and products. Inadequate asphalt, system bottlenecks and the gridlock they create choke off economic activity.
For more than 250 years, Georgians have understood the value of investment in transportation infrastructure. Today, leaders on the local level have risen to the task. Now it's our turn. I urge voters to understand the importance of keeping Georgia connected, to learn more about the plans for improvements in your region, and to encourage others to support the plans.
The ballot will ask Georgians to make a decisive investment in transportation. Regions that approve this investment will take a big step in the direction of securing Georgia's economic future.

Here are some ideas you can use.
In regards to TSPLOST.
I understand the needs of Transportation in the State and that counties need every penny they can get but I think the General Assembly and the Governor has taken the easy road of trying to get passed a 1% TSPLOST tax and instead should tackle some of the possibilities below.
As of 2004 Georgia had the lowest Fuel and Vehicle Taxes as a Percent of
Total State Highway Funding in the Country.
Motor fuel taxes can stand an increase, as Georgia ranks 50th in excise tax in the Nation at 7.5 cents per gallon, and yet we pay basically the same price at the pump. A few pennies difference here and there between States but the same differences we find town to town within our state. Price volatility will affect the sales tax receipts but not the excise tax which is based on gallons sold. Georgia also ranks 48th overall in lowest gas taxes. Raise the excise tax.
Toll roads offer one of the best solutions for transportation revenue but our Governor has backed away from that because he wants to get re-elected.
The trucking industry, which causes most of the road damage, is another source; they can pay their fair share.
Making the transit systems break even or profitable is a solution.
Container fees and custom duties at ports of entry for ports improvement.
A Local option motor fuel tax for the counties or a State option tax for GDOT on motor fuels only.
A rental car surcharge for Transportation needs.
Transit fees.
And I'm sure our legislators can come up with some other ideas, after all that is why we send them to Atlanta. We did not send them there to destroy county Home rule.
One of the questions is; who will the State subsidize in taxes collected by offloading those taxes to another segment, like a 1% optional sales tax.
I thank you for your service and ask you to fight to keep County Home Rule as opposed to Region Rule.
Vote NO to Tsplost

Making the transit systems break even or profitable is a solution.
This has not happened in the past. Why do you think it'll start now? But it (mass transit)will happen and we'll be forced to subsidize it with tax dollars. You can count on me to vote no to any splost. I think most Fayette County residents understand the term "Once burned twice shy!". Thats why the vote will be regional not county by county.
Most Counties have a 1% ELOST TAX, a 1% SPLOST TAX, and a 1% LOST TAX.
The ELOST TAX (Education Local Option Sales Tax) is a special tax for Local School Systems to improve infrastructure within their County.
The SPLOST TAX (Special Projects Local Option Sales Tax The State of Georgia through our General Assembly and Governor is asking the voters of all Georgia Counties to vote on a Transportation 1% sales tax called a TSPLOST tax in July 2012.
This 1% sales tax is in addition to other 1% sales taxes Counties already have in place. This would be called the TSPLOST TAX (Transportation Special Projects Local Option Sales Tax).
) is a special tax for Local County Government to improve infrastructure within their county.
The LOST TAX (Local Option Sales Tax) is a special tax to alleviate property taxes within the County, i.e. allows a reduction in the millage rate.
Now the State of Georgia wants voters to approve a 1% sales tax for roads and bridges and other infrastructure that falls under GDOT's (Georgia Department of Transformation) purview.
This would bring to 4, the number of 1% optional sales taxes placed upon all Citizens of Georgia.
Counties using the SPLOST TAX get to keep all the monies collected (100%) from this tax to benefit the needs of their county. This tax CAN, and most often is, used to improve roads and bridges and other needs of the County.
Under the TSPLOST TAX rules, counties are only allowed to share 25% of the tax collected within their Region of Counties to be used within their respective counties. The other 75% goes to the Regions where there is a need for improvement bound by the constrained lists. This constrained list has a lot of input from GDOT as there are State roads involved and one Regions plan may need to match up with another Regions plan to avoid confusion. The funds will be used primarily in heavily populated areas where there are heavy traffic patterns.
Here is the main web link . Once there just click on the Projects lists or adopted criteria for your Region or any other link you might want to see.
This is a Discriminatory tax pitting larger counties against smaller counties within their Region.
Larger counties getting a bigger piece of the 75% that the State collects from the tax.
Our Counties have a SPLOST TAX we can use for improvement, and we keep 100% of it. We don't need a TSPLOST tax where counties only get back a portion of the tax.
This TSPLOST TAX is being put to the voters because our Elected Officials have FAILED in their duties to provide a Budget and make a decision on how best to spend our tax dollars. And now they are asking the voters to make a choice about a 1% sales tax to increase the Revenue needed for Road and Bridge improvements.
We elected them to make these decisions on tax increases and Budget decisions and now they are spending untold Tens of Thousands in efforts to get this tax passed by the voters in July 2012 because they have failed to make decisions and now are attempting to shift the decision to the voters, and let the PROPERTY OWNERS GUARANTEE the debt.
This is a BAD TAX for the citizens of Georgia. I ask you to send our Legislators back to Atlanta to make a RIGHT decision and do what we pay them for, and that is to make hard decisions based on EQUALITY of taxation. The ones that do the most damage to our transportation infrastructure are the trucking industry, let them man up and bear a bigger share of the burden.
This tax hurts the poor the worst and there is NO food exemption for this tax.
Atlanta traffic is bad...but people don't understand that The City of Atlanta has only 420,000 people out of almost 6 million in the greater 28 county Atlanta metro area. The Atlanta Regional Commission is comprised of ten of these counties that have bonded together for transportation purposes. These counties include mansions, ghettoes, bedroom communities, strip clubs, and everything in between. The TSPLOST would put billions into rail development and other projects that can't pay for themselves. With MARTA ridership down over the past several years, and people moving out of the area because of our poor economy, more rail construction simply is not justified, especially during the bad economic times we're having now.
I read that a recent MARTA study placed the cost of new rail at $20 dollars per each passenger ride. MARTA has lost hundreds of millions of dollars over the past several years. With Atlanta only the center of a vast commuting area, new rail won't solve the problem of commuters going from Doraville to Roswell, or Vinings to Woodstock. Whether congestion is actually "Atlanta traffic" or not depends upon how far away the governor is looking from his office at the state capitol.
As indicated above, recent elections confirm that Fayette County doesn't want the ARC or any other review board passing judgment on its projects, and it doesn't want to be tied into a mass transit rail or bus system that would be sorely unjustified from a population standpoint. Take New York City, for example, with 20 million people in the metro area. There, you can go for miles and miles and still be in a densely populated area. The New York subway system was built when things were cheap, and they have enough riders per stop to make it worthwhile. Los Angeles, on the other hand, has almost three times as many people in Los Angeles and Orange Counties as the Atlanta 28 county area, yet has stayed away from rail transportation.
Rail systems are only practical in dense urban areas where they are already in place. But even in those, they don't make a profit. And technically, Fayette County could vote not to participate in TSPLOST, yet be drawn into it by a majority vote of the other nine counties, some of which are almost ten times the population of Fayette County alone.
Bus routes might be helpful. But only in those areas where population density and ridership would make it practical. After all, each county has its own county government, and the total of all individuals employed by city and county governments alone in the 20 county area would probably fill up the Georgia Dome.
It should also be added that two previous Transportation Roundtable representatives from Fayette County have both been ousted by the voters. One had been presented with distinguished awards from the ARC for supporting its views. With the remaining representative's time in office up for grabs next
November, it will be interesting to see how closely he stays in tune with the public. Hopefully, those of you with concerns over Fayette County's role in the ARC will speak at the Fayette Commissioners meetings, or at least contact your Fayette Commissioners. Since the West Fayetteville Bypass project became a public issue, our people seem to be much more interested in their county government than ever before.
The person who will just stop and think..."now just how much would Fayette County lose by aligning itself with a diverse public transit program?"
A lot.
My sister lives in Stone Mountain and her little neighborhood newspaper had your column worded just a little bit differently. In the other papers our Governor kept saying how much we needed to fund mass transit.
I guess they cleaned our version up a little.
It will be a cold day in somewhere other than Heaven before I vote in favor of paying for Atlanta's transportation bills.
My sister lives in Stone Mountain and her little neighborhood newspaper had your column worded just a little bit differently. In the other papers our Governor kept saying how much we needed to fund mass transit.
This statement makes me wonder if the Citizen itself is not compliant in this sham that is being played on the citizens of Fayette county. Surely even if this other newspaper is not affiliated with the Citizen the Citizen knew of the article. So why reword it for this area and not let us know?
Nice move Mr. Gov--taking the heat off the Legislature. First, shame on them for creating that regional organization and enabling legislation that would allow majority vote to become the law for all counties in the region--something akin to mass punishment! Bad, bad, government! Won't get my vote, but of course my vote won't count because I live in what will most likely be a minority county!
(with hand over mouth coughing) Bull$h_T! It is redistribution at its best, no more, no less!
Gov. Deal is right. We should vote for TSPOST.
This is an investment in the future of the Atlanta region and Fayette County.
I hear voices who argue that Fayette County is an island not connected to the Atlanta region. They argue that we must reject any tax increase and pretend the future will be just like the past. Steve Brown and others have now raised the fear of "regionalism" which is something like communism, or socialism, or federalism, or something foreign that we must oppose. Silliness.
We are part of the larger Atlanta region and need to support transportation initiatives which benefit the entire area.
I respectfully disagree. Burdening the taxpayers who live within the counties of ARC without including the commuters of the surrounding counties such as Coweta, Carroll, and others who have as many if not more commuters using the same traffic arteries is a political expediency fraught with cronyism.
Had our legislature had the fortitude to increase the gas tax (state) throughout the commuting radius of Atlanta and earmarked those funds for the same projects, would the result not be the same?

I need foundation and framing subcontractors.
I live in Dallas, Texas area.
If you are a subcontractor and do this job please contact me. Munzer
Follow-Up Postings:
You need a P. Eng. or an architect for the design. (And please don't say that with 9,000 sf you're on a "budget" and can't afford it.) |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 11:33
Subcontractors do NOT "design" homes. They follow the architect and engineer's plans that the codes office approves. You are getting way ahead of yourself if you don't have a set of building plans. |
Actually Worthy, Texas doesn't require a P.Eng or architect to stamp residential plans. Some cities/counties do require one or the other but, as far as I know, Dallas does not. I would agree with you however that, for a 9000 sq ft residence, a homeowner NEEDS the guidance of a professional engineer and/or an architect. It would be different if OP planning to build a run-of-the-mill 1800 sq ft one-story rectangular ranch. But 9000 sq ft???? No Way! Worse tho, it sounds as if OP thinks that one can have subcontractors design and build a house in "stages" rather than starting out with a complete unified set of plans before you ever consider breaking ground. (Eg, OP says he is looking for a foundation subcontractor to DESIGN and build the foundation and THEN he wants a framing subcontractor to DESIGN and build the frame.) Obviously, a foundation needs to be designed for the house that is going to sit on it so there is no way a foundation sub could design and build a foundation before knowing what the house plan (including the framing design) was going to be. DUH! I do know that Dallas requires building permits and that one must submit building plans to them for approval before one can get a permit. So, unless OP is so clueless that he doesn't even know he needs a building permit, I have to assume he already has plans (designs) and just misspoke when he mentioned having the subcontractors DESIGN the foundation and framing. OP's plans may already have been drawn up by a licensed architect - although the way his posting reads, one can't really tell. OP, if you serious about GCing your own residence, you might want to consider contracting with Owner-Builder Network - Dallas or a similar consulting company for guidance. Among other things, they'll provide lists of subcontractors that previous owner-builders have successfully used. And subcontractors that you find via an OBN referral are more likely to treat you like they would a larger contractor b/c your opinion of them and their work will affect whether they get additional work through the OBN. OBN will also guide you through all the steps you need to take in building your home - including getting permits and scheduling required inspections. They can even help you get financing which can be difficult for an owner-builder. I'm not pushing OBN specifically - although I do know several folks here in the Austin area that praise the Austin OBN office very highly. I've also heard good things about a couple of other consulting companies that have offices in the Dallas area including HelpUBuild and Hope this helps. Oh, and one more little bit of advice that is totally unrelated to building a home ... unless you want to wind up buried in spam email, do not EVER post your email on a forum like this. Spambots (electronic programs) troll heavily trafficked websites like Gardenweb looking for email addresses which the spambot recognizes by the "at" followed by "dot" symbols...doesn't even require that a human being ever read your post. To protect your email from spam, when you join GW you have the option of setting up your MYPage to allow GW to forward emails from other registered Gardenweb members to you. Then, just ask people to click on the MyPage link beside your name in order to email you. That way your email address isn't out there for a spambot to find. |

WASHINGTON, May 29, 2013 — Minnesota's Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has made it official in a video (see below): she won't run again in 2014. The darling of the Right and founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, the Republican representative could always be counted on to sling some mud and occasional arrows at Democratic targets.
So it is a sad day for all the guys and gals who dangle tea bags off their tricorn hats. It's even a sad day for the Left where Bachmann was their bête noir who became the poster girl for all that the Left sees wrong with the Right. It's a sad day for the media, which could always count on juicing up a dull news day with a dandy quote from Bachmann. And it's a sad day for late night comedians who mined her words for fresh material. What's Jon Stewart to do? Maybe go on hiatus and recover from the loss?
Of course there is still about a year and half left in Bachmann's term, but she will be missed as a great source of inspiration to the Left and the Right.
For the folks on the Right, she was the mouthpiece for whatever conspiracy theory flew into her head. Now they are left with the likes of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, no slouch in the bomb-throwing department, but he just doesn't have the same wide-eyed cachet of a Bachmann.
And while Michele Bachman set many Democratic teeth grinding, she was also easy to pigeonhole as the mad auntie in the attic. Not so with Ted Cruz, who is cut from the mold of Sen. Joseph McCarthy of the infamous McCarthy hearings of the Fifties. With his dark suits, dark hair and brows, and dark glowers at anyone who disagrees with him, he has the look of a classic villain, while Bachmann was the stuff of comic book adversaries.
So why is Bachmann stepping down after eight years in the House? Sure, she barely won the last time around in a safe and conservative Republican district, but what is propelling her out the door?
There the Congresswoman was short on specifics: "The law limits anyone from serving as president of the United States for more than eight years, and in my opinion, well, eight years is also long enough for an individual to serve as a representative for a specific Congressional district."
Nor does it appear that her failed presidential bid, which sparked an ethics investigation into improper payments to campaign consultants, has led to this decision. In fact, in her announcement, Bachmann insisted that that probe has nothing to do with her decision:
"This decision was not impacted in anyway by the recent inquiries into my former presidential campaign or my former presidential staff. It was clearly understood that compliance with all rules and regulations was an absolute necessity for my presidential campaign, and I have no reason to believe that that was not the case."
And yet that probe has widened now that the FBI has joined the inquiry with its schedule of interviews with those involved in the case. Plus Bachmann is also trying to settle a lawsuit over "her campaign's alleged theft and misuse of a proprietary e-mail list of home-school families."
So what is next for the Tea Party darling after she leaves the pulpit of the House floor? Whether does she go next? The corporate world? Her own foundation? A right-wing think tank like former Sen. Jim DeMint did?
Wherever the wind blows her, just know that Michelle Bachmann will be remembered…etched forever in our hearts and brains with quotes like this:

Devonté Haynes aka Blood Orange's latest clip for the single 'Champagne Coast' from his recent album 'Coastal Groove' travels through a virtual reality-like maze of bedrooms, where Hynes stands off in the background while a different girl dances awkwardly up front.
The video was directed by gif-artist & stylist Haley Wollens, who already worked with artists like MNDR, M.I.A., Rye Rye or Sleigh Bells for magazines like NYT, Vice, Fader,… Here is what she told the New York Times:
With producer Maya Barrera, I spent hours at the library sifting through and scanning our favorite rooms from interior design magazines. I collaged the various backdrops together, combining the images from old magazines with photos I found of real teenager's bedroom walls.
With the help of Berlin-based animator Andreas "Nout" Schmidt, Jude Miller-Chapin and I were able to create a perfectly rendered 3-D world for our subjects to exist in — inspired by Second Life YouTubes and video games, like Duke Nukem.

Omaha typically gets its first hard freeze the middle of October, according to the National Weather Forecast Office.
So if a freeze threatens BEFORE we can shutdown and winterize your sprinkler system,
here's what you should do to protect your pipes from freezing:
1. Start by shutting off the water to your sprinkler system. The shutoff valve should be located in your basement. Most shutoff valves are ball valves that have a handle. If the handle is running with the pipe, the water is turned on to the system. To shut the water off, turn the handle 90 degrees until it stops. Typically, the handle has a "stopper" so that you cannot turn it too far. |
2. Next, locate the backflow preventer on the outside of your house. This device is small and made of metal. A pipe runs from the house into the backflow preventer and another pipe runs out the backflow preventer and into the ground. |
3. Turn the two valve handles on the backflow preventer about 45 degrees so that they are half open/half shut. You also will need to take a flat head screwdriver and open the two test ports on the side of the backflow device. NOTE: If your test ports have caps (usually black plastic) remove the caps first before opening the ports. |
4. If there are any other drains or valves near the backflow preventer on the outside of your house, open them to drain the water out. If there are no drains on the outside of your house, there is probably a drain in the basement of your home near the shutoff valve. When opening the inside drain, have a bucket ready to catch the draining water. Leave all drains open during the winter. For an inside drain, leave a bucket underneath. Note: Most systems will have either drains on the outside or one on the inside, not both. |
5. If you have an inside drain, check it regularly after completing Step #4 to make sure it stops dripping. If it is still dripping a couple days after being opened, either the shutoff valve isn't closed all the way or the shutoff valve is going bad and needs to be replaced by a plumber. |
That's it. When we come out, we will complete Steps 6 & 7: 6. We will use an air compressor to blow all of the water out of your lines.7. We will shut down your controller. If an unexpected freeze does happen, completing steps 1-5 is NOT a guarantee that your pipes won't be damaged by winter freezing. However, doing so will certainly improve the odds until we can get out to your home and remove the water from your lines with an air compressor. Haven't scheduled your Winterization yet? It's not too late but hurry! The nights are getting colder so Contact Us right away and we'll get you on our calendar. |

Looking for a website that would sell nautical anchors that can be used as a boarder for my flower garden |
Follow-Up Postings:
Perhaps we are not understanding this question? |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 25, 11 at 14:01
Wildly guessing you're in Rhode Island with its nautical heritage, (and where I was fortunate to be at the 1963 and 1964 Newport Folk Festivals) start by Googling decorative boat anchors. Or, look locally at marine supply and marine salvage. Come on, Ink - outside the box. If one can edge a flower bed with upended blue bottles or chiclet rocks, anchors linked by chain swags (maybe even painted all white) could make a statement. Maybe not in Kansas. |

Is this at all what you're looking for? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310298409682 Also Google "nautical anchor garden decor," "nautical anchor garden fence," "nautical anchor garden edging," "nautical anchor garden ideas," etc. |

Exactly I did see these but not favorable to plastic. I may be asking too much |
I'm working on a property that has giant cleats from a steamship, a couple of anchors, and several big chains welded so that they act as bollards. This is not an unusual theme in our part of the world. ... sorry, they want to keep them. |
Isn't this different though Andrew? Derek Jarman made his garden from objects found on the beach and I have seen this done to good effect in British Columbia but this a request to bypass that and buy on the web. |
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into the nautical theme, but who am I to judge? |

Is there a trick to wearing these?!? I bought a gorgeous shade from Marcelle, but within 3-4 hours, it looked like it had all crept up into the crease in my eyelid! Did I do something wrong? Also, what do you find is the best way to apply it? I ended up using my fingers (it didn't come with an applicator).
Thanks! Chan |
Follow-Up Postings:
They can be a little tricky and there are a few things to try. You can use a thin layer of concealer on your eye lid before applying the color, it will help it stick and stay in place. You can try using a similar color of a powder shadow on your lid before applying the cream. Also a light dusting of powder or a powder shadow in a similar color over the cream will kind of set the color. Its depends on your skin too and what will work best, so you may need to do a trial and error until you find what works best for you. I find using your finger is really the best way to apply it. Try to dab it on instead of rubbing it on. Dabbing it on will also help you control the color you get the more you layer it on of course the deeper and darker the color will get! |

powder lightly, spply lightly with a brush, not the foamy thing they give you, and powder again- either a close color, or a sheer metallic (I use a 'pearl' from Expert Eyes, who make stuff for contact lens wearers, but several other companies make similar things.) a 'primer' also helps- I still have a tube from when my best friend sold Beauty Control, it hasn't even gone stale yet. |

Some special compensatory damages situtions:
Sale of goods: In a contract for the sale of goods, the usual measure of compensatory damages is an amount equal to the difference between the contrat price and the market price. For example, suppose the ABC Corporation contracts to buy ten servers (computers) from XYZ Corporation for $8,000 each. XYC fails to deliver the servers to ABC. The market price of the servers at the time ABC learns of the breach is $8,150. ABC's measure of damages is $1,500 (10 x $150) plus any incidental damages (expenses) caused by the breach. On the other hand, if the buyer breaches and the seller has not yet manufactured the goods, compensatory damages normally equal lost profits on the sale, not the difference between the contract price and the market price.
Sale of land: If the equitable remedy "specific performance" (discussed below) is unavailable (for example, when the seller has sold the property to someone else), or when the breach is by the buyer, the measure of damages is ordinarily the same as in contracts for the sale of good -- i.e., the difference between the contract price and the market price of the land.
Construction contracts:
To determine whether a particular provision is for liquidated damages or for a penalty, two questions must be answered. First, when the contract was entered into, was it apparent that damages would be difficult to estimate in the event of a breach? Second, was the amount set as damages a reasonable estimate and not excessive. If both answers are yes, the provision will be enforced. If either answer is no, the provision will not be enforced.

III. A Progressive Israeli Argument for the Two-State Solution
June 16, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
San Francisco–Home at last! Home at last with a thick new notebook.
During the past week (6th-12th), the initial reports were that the casualties of the Palestinian demonstrators at the Syrian border by the Jewish Strata on the Golan Heights has increased to twenty-seven — mowed down with live bullets from the other side of the barbed wire with several seriously wounded, furthermore, by the by the IDF (the Israeli Defense Force) at the express orders to employ the ultimate violence against the non-violent demonstrators from the Prime Minister (P.M.) Netanyahu. In North Africa the rebels are hedging more closely to Tripoli, the Libyan nation's traditional capital… Although Gaddafi has been accused of rape as a weapon war by his soldiers, the "Colonel" has stated," I'll stay in Tripoli whether I live or die!' While two Imperial powers, Britain and France, are preparing a resolution in United Nations (U.N.) condemning Damascus for their brutality in their civil war. Incidentally, Libya and Syria have been two of the most obnoxious to the West, and "taking out" President Assad would be a great relief to the Israeli Prime Minister, for they one of the few nations' in the expanse (since they are neighbors) who could provide a MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) to Tel Aviv overbearing nuclear arsenal in the Negev .
As your composer has stated earlier, he believes the success or failure of the Arab "Spring" will depend upon the reaction of the Israeli government. If they act diplomatically, there can be a tremendous blossoming of Arab-style democracies; if they respond in a belligerent manner there will be an appalling conflict, and, with nuclear weapons involved, it can be as great a disaster as Hiroshima, and with the closeness of Israel to its neighbors it can only destroy the nuclear State to unimaginable consequences.
This is the third installment with the Israeli General, their Ministry of Justice bureaucrat and Jeremy Ben-Ami of J-Street in the United States who was in Washington at the time of the call:
The two Israeli citizens pointed out that Palestine is unstable at the moment. (Unfortunately, that is true, but it is true that it is overwhelmingly caused by the Zionist expansion upon Arab land!) The General believes that the Hamas-Fatah reconciliation is not a threat, for under his analysis, he deems Hamas to be weak, (but under your author's assay Hamas is a substantial opponent to the Israeli hegemony over the region, for, although Tel Aviv and Cairo had been doing their best to execute the sway of the Palestinian mini-strip on the sea, your researcher is of the opinion that Gaza quintessentially defeated the Hebrew-speaking Army in their Cast Iron operation against the Palestinian mini-State by exposed to the world Jerusalem's vicious violence to an ultimately defenseless populace; thus, turning the prevailing global popular "good" opinion away from the Zionist's position towards their opponents for the land, the indigenous Palestinians.)
One of Israeli incentives for joining in on the dialogue with Ramallah in the company of the Quartet (the United States, the U.N., the European Union (E.U.) and the Russian Federation) as interlopers is, although there are many differences of opinion regarding Hamas, Tel Aviv wishes to isolate and prevent them from capturing the total "Occupied" Territories' in the next elections which they have a very good chance of accomplishing with the depopulation of the Christians and the Islamization of Palestine herself. Even so, there are talks amongst the original inhabitants of the Holy Land (for most of the Palestinians there are the direct descendants of the ancient residents of their geographic district, whereas the majority of the Jews had been Europeanized with a mixture of the Jewish diaspora who had fled Spain to the region mainly within the border districts of modern Poland and Russia wherein they had intermixed with the Yalta converted (Jews) of the Ninth Century (I most not this historically scenario is highly disapproved by Jewish scholars in Jerusalem as is the Night Ride of the Prophet (s); and, thus, Israel can be perceived as a Settler Colonial State and must be amalgamated into the Middle East) to be accepted. Further The Quartet must integrate Hamas into the elections (if it is not done, it would be hard to describe these forthcoming `polls to be free and fair. What is so interesting about the advancement of the Palestinians' cause is that, finally, they are on the world's "radar, and that it coincides" with the Arab "Spring," and it has many elements. (It must be kept in mind, that, Palestine is central to the Arab's ideology, and, although it is on the fringes of West Asia, it is well near the "center" of the Arab-speaking humanity which extends from the full of North Africa into the Arabian West and Saudi Arabia itself, the homeland of Islam, and the UAE (United Arab Emirates) in the Persian (or Arab, as it is, also called,) Gulf on the East.
Tara Hassan, of the Israeli Ministry of Justice is, also, a leader for "true" Justice within her homeland. She urged that the Palestinian Prime Minister (P.M.) Mahmoud Abbas, be granted concessions, reiterating the Israeli bugaboo, to avoid Hamas administrating the West Bank. (It is interesting to note the great fear of almost all Israelis – either on the Right or Left – is their irrational fear of Islamism, and seems to be a driving force to lean their Commonweal to the Left which is a hopeful sign for an agreement to the conundrum and the especially for the long-term future of the Palestinians themselves. Although she describes herself as a Zionist, for her, a Zionist does not have to be on the political Jewish-wing. "Only a two-State Solution will save Israel," too. Hassan, further, states that "…We should take every opportunity [to convince] the people of Israel!" Sharoni interjects that we should present to the Israeli public" the necessity of the two—State Solution! As often as possibility, for the people (here) have an unfounded fear of the Arab "Spring," (and that is driving internal policy there, too).
Why are we spending so much time looking at non-Muslim Israel — because it is the dominant dominion within the Middle East – due to the policy of America arming its pariah client to the hilt? (The citizens of the U.S.A. have a grave duty to extricate their own nation from this enigma to which they themselves have created, and to become a force for peace among these environs.)
Whatever is happening within the halls of Tel Aviv will have a dramatic effect within the Arabic al-Islam!
Great American Patriots
June 2, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Glenn Greenwald, AP
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress, just as the U.S. President does each year. Here is how the American Congress — especially the super-patriots of the American Right — reacted to their own President the last two times he addressed them (with frosty coolness and even passive-aggressive hostility):
And here is how the super-patriots of the American Right — largely joined by their Democratic colleagues — reacted to the speech given today by this foreign leader: with multiple standing ovations, including for ludicrous and absurd proclamations such as equating Hamas with Al Qaeda and claiming that Israel is "not a foreign occupier" in the West Bank:
Indeed, according to ABC News, Netanyahu received more standing ovations from the U.S. Congress (29) than the U.S. President did the last time he spoke (25); all of the ones Netanyahu received were from the super-patriots of the GOP caucus (and most from the Democratic caucus as well), whereas those right-wing patriots joined in only a small fraction of the ones received by their own country's President.
What makes this more remarkable still is that this foreign leader whom they were cheering so boisterously and continuously just completed a public, ugly conflict with the American leader and has a long record of demonstrated indifference to American interests; yet the super-patriots of the American Right sided so brazenly and publicly with this foreign leader over their own country's President. Meanwhile, both political parties in Congress are in a frantic competition to see which one can lavish Netanyahu with more obsequious praise; this statement sent out in the name of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey is typical of the entries. For his part, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ran to AIPAC to undercut (and rebuke) his own President and the leader of his own party on Israel, something that — as Andrew Sullivan correctly observed – would be inconceivable on any foreign policy issue other than Israel.
In sum, the same faction that spent the last decade demanding fealty to the Commander-in-Chief in a Time of War upon pain of being accused of a lack of patriotism (or worse) now openly sides with a foreign leader over their own President. The U.S. Congress humiliates itself by expressing greater admiration for and loyalty to this foreign leader than their own country's. And because this is all about Israel, few will find this spectacle strange, or at least will be willing to say so.

Ke$ha Clings to the No-Pants Trend
Erin Wasson x RVCA was less of a show and more of a party. On Thursday, Jared Leto, Ke$ha, Stavros Niarchos, and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld packed into an unconventional space at ABC Carpet & Home to ogle the Fall 2010 collection in a free-for-all setup. Instead of chairs, most guests sat on piles of rugs. With a live performance from Yeasayer and a bar stocked with champagne, it's no wonder the crowd lingered after the last model made her final turn. Why leave anywhere when there's free bubbly?

My snake plant, which had thrived for the past 5 years, is now very droopy. The leaves do not stand up straight anymore. i was only watering it every 2-3 weeks (at most). I cannot tell if I was over or underwatering it. Can someone please help me identify the problem and suggest what to do? Thank you! I cant figure out how to attach a picture to this posting?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
When was the last time you repotted your plant? You know, only you can really tell if you are over or under watering. As you know, this plant should be allowed to dry out quite a bit in between waterings. However, you should water the heck out of it on watering day! If it's been a very long time since your plant has been 'booted up' and repotted, that could certainly cause problems. Also, it might be that insufficient light might play a factor. |
- Posted by TwoOfHearts none (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 0:29
Thanks for your advice! i just repotted it and found that it was soaking in water! i was only watering it once a month (or so) so i dont understand why there was so much water in the soil. it sits in pretty good light. when you say "water the heck out of it," doesn't that run the risk of the water not properly drying out because there is so much in the soil? i feel like i might have overwatered it when i actually did. thanks for your help! |
- Posted by brodyjames 5 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 2:59
Does the pot have drainage holes in it? If so, then the next time you water, water until you see it coming out of the holes aka "water the heck out of it" and then don't water the plant again until you can poke your finger in the soil and have it come out dry. If your pot does NOT have drainage holes, then I suggest repotting (again) into a pot that does. What kind of soil are you using? If regular potting soil, you should mix in up to 75% perlite and/or some kind of other inorganic material such as chicken grit to make the soil more gritty, thus facilitating better drainage. Snake plants are a succulent and can go for months without watering and be none the worse for wear. Mine haven't been watered since January. They are pretty tough plants and a 2nd repot shouldn't hurt it. Also, when you repot a succulent, you should always wait a few days before watering it. Nancy |
In a fast draining, porous potting mix, all of the excess water will drain from the container promptly. Watering thoroughly should really never be a problem. It's giving little sips each time that can cause issues. |
- Posted by TwoOfHearts none (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 17:27
thank you all for your advice. i repotted the plant but am wondering what to do with the long leaves that are drooping and bending over. will they ever stand up straight again or should i trim them? will they grow back? |
Did only a few leaves collapse or more and did they begin to yellow? Snake plants-Sansevieria species are lilies native to central and southern Africa commonly found growing in seasonally dry areas. When you repotted the plant did you notice if the roots were healthy where the color is tannish higher up in the root with ends being white-they should also have been firm not mushy? If mushy or soft and dark then sounds like root collapse which would cause the plant to collapse. Though these plants are known for their ability to survive in low light best care is an area with bright light even direct sun if grown inside. If you are not growing the plant in area with bright light inside I would move it to such a spot for best growth. Without seeing a picture of the roots I can't be certain if this happened due to lack of light and/or too much water but if the pot you hade it in had no drainage holes and sat in water especially in the winter when growth is slowed or stopped I would suspect the latter. Scott |
- Posted by brodyjames 5 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 23:36
Hi Two, Odds are the drooping leaves will never stand back up...they'll most likely stay green for a while and then begin to yellow. You can tie them up to keep the look of the plant, or you can trim them. The cut leaves, if in good health, will continue to grow, but they won't regain the pointed tip and will have a blunt edge. Nancy |
Please go to Sansevieria Forum. it has lots of info how to care about this plant. Inna |
- Posted by TwoOfHearts none (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 1:27
THank you all so much for your advice. ok i did it...i trimmed the droopy leaves off. it was rather severe and it looks like i gave the plant a drastic hair-cut. I will wait and see if the leaves grow back. I sure hope they do! i repotted it in a perlite mix soil and watered it slightly. I will leave it on my balcony for a while (where there is more sun). Can someone tell me how to post photos on this forum? i cant figure it out and would love to show you all what i am experiencing. |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 7:36
If it hasn't had direct sun, pls. expose it gradually (a few hrs. a day), so it doesn't burn. |
Two of hearts go to the hosta forum scroll down to the bottom and click on next page day-previous postings in that section you will see very detailed instructions on how to post pictures. If you have problems finding it let me know. Scott |
Too late to help. I use tomato cages to support my sans. They are 4 feet tall. Also supported leaves will regain strength and support themselves in time. The main problems must be corrected first. The information you got here is correct and should help you. As far as the leaves are concern, you should get plenty more new ones. |
- Posted by norma_2009 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 30, 13 at 23:22
This is the one I have in my bathroom, I pretty much ignore it. It is getting several new leaves, and it is really healthy. I also have a taller one, 4.5 |
