Me again, already.
I try to put something out to this list just once a week, so as not to wear out my welcome. However, I feel compelled to interrupt my current rant-in-progress (In Defense of Racism) to plug something that now seems possible: impeaching President Bush.
I previously have railed against this administration and its controlling interests almost nonstop, ever since 9-11, and finally summarized why I felt Bush must be removed from office in Bush Must Go! ( http://www.conspiracypenpal.com/columns/impeach.htm ). I have not changed my outlook one bit.
What differs today is the rising cacophony calling for his impeachment, which suddenly is being covered by the controlled media. His blood is in the water, to put it in shark terms. The Chosen apparently have decided they can do without him, needs be.
Of course, recall that they did this with Clinton ("I did not have sex with that woman"), just before they got him back in hand and off he obediently went to bomb Arabs. It may well be simply a device for scaring Bush into submission. Rumor is that he is refusing to invade Iran before next year's election. Not sure he is smart enough to understand his danger, though. Hope not.
So, I just want to chime in at this historically-important juncture and underscore my previous demands for Bush's removal from office. When the wolves are nipping at the alpha male, every little nip helps along the process of his replacement.
If the public suddenly clambers on the bandwagon, it may well gain so much inertia that the Chosen will be incapable of getting it back under control. In that event, of course, Cheney also must go.
Go here for an important flash presentation concerning Bush and Iraq: http://www.bushflash.com/occupied.html
Remember, Nixon was impeached for trying to cover up a botched burglary of the Democrats' office during an election campaign. Nobody died (unless you count all the Americans killed in Viet Nam after Nixon was reelected on a false promise to end that war, the same false promise that got him elected in the first place). He resigned "for the good of the country," rather than face his inevitable removal from office.
Clinton refused to resign for having committed perjury concerning his sexual liaisons. Nobody died (unless you count Vince Foster, Ron Brown and a host of secret service agents and others who died under mysterious circumstances). The senate, led by Republican Trent I'm-so-ashamed-of-my-past-racist-affiliations-and-promise-to-toe-the-line-from-now-on Lott, refused to remove Clinton from office.
Thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis have died on Bush's watch, and as a direct result of his orders. Hundreds of Americans have died and continue to die in the Middle East, for the sake of Chosen ambitions and American gas prices.
Thousands upon thousands of Iranians and Syrians are now marked for death, as well, to be sacrificed for Israeli hegemony.
We are on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea.
America has become a literal police state, with political dissidents being rounded up and jailed every day by Reich Marshal Ashcroft.
Bush's profligate economic policies, including deficits unimaginable just a few years ago, are leading us to genuine ruin, which he may or may not be able to defer until after next year's election.
Once the beacon of freedom and free enterprise to the rest of the world, America has become the most-hated nation on earth - all on Bush's watch.
All this, and more, I lay at the doorstep of America's current Administration.
IMPEACH BUSH NOW. Say it out loud. Get used to the way it rolls off the tongue. Write it in letters to editors. Scrawl it on restroom walls. Put a sign in your front yard. Have t-shirts made. March. Join demonstrations. Murmur it around the water cooler. Explain why to your children. Don't bother to write your congresscritters, though - like trying to teach pigs to dance, it merely annoys them and wastes your time.
This is something upon which both the Left and the Right can agree (excepting only the wacko fundamentalist war mongers marching in lockstep to oblivion with their former communist neocon buddies). No longer is this a political issue. Now it is an American issue.
Why, it is almost politically correct to say it.
IMPEACH BUSH NOW. An idea whose
time is well overdue.

Route 47, Fulling Mill Road signal delayed
Written by David Benson Sunday, May 25, 2014 07:45 am
< Prev | Next > |
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE ŌĆō A traffic signal at Route 47 and Fulling Milling Road has hung lightless for several weeks, and township officials said at MondayŌĆÖs committee meeting that compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements could keep light dim for another couple of weeks.
ŌĆ£New ADA compliance rules mean that the light has to be re-engineered,ŌĆØ said Mayor Tim Donohue.
Connie Mahon, business administrator, said the state Department of Transportation plans to contact the county with more information about the signalŌĆÖs activation date sometime this week.
ŌĆ£I spoke with the engineer,ŌĆØ Mahon said, ŌĆ£and itŌĆÖs on the desk of the next engineer.ŌĆØ
Mahon said the compliance issues have to do with the push-button actuators on the signal, better known as the button for a walk signal.
ŌĆ£There are a lot of desks in Trenton,ŌĆØ Donohue said.
Committeeman Michael Clark noted that this is another dangerous area of Route 47, and that a functioning light at the intersection may have saved lives this year on the state road.
Earlier this month, a Gloucester County woman was killed on impact after the Ford Taurus driven by her friend drifted off the roadway and struck a tree.
In April, two people were killed, and two injured in a high speed collision on Route 47, south of the Wildwood Water Works bend.
According to an earlier press release from the township, design changes to conform to ADA requirements have been submitted to the state for review and approval.
Several phone calls and emails to the state DOT from the Gazette seeking comment on specific issues with the signal and an activation date were not returned by presstime.

I have an ear infection!
My ear has been pounding for three days. It feels like my eardrum is about to burst, spraying sinus fluid and brain tissue against the wall!
The lady looked in my ear! She gave me antibiotics!
I do not wish this pain on any of you – I would welcome the sweet, silent embrace of death in exchange for a moment of relief!
The lady did not give me a sucker!
My ear hurts!

The criminal investigation will continue indefinitely, even if there is no prosecution, "because there will inevitably be many, many unknowns," Feldis said.
Keyes was caught in Texas in March with a debit card stolen from Koenig, whom he abducted from her coffee stand in February. Keyes admitted to kidnapping, raping and killing her, then dismembering her body and dumping her remains in an icy lake before traveling out of Alaska.
Once in custody, he also confessed to the 2011 killings of Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex, Vermont, and the disposal of four bodies in Washington state and one in New York state.
Only three homicides have been definitively pinned to him – those of Koenig and the Curriers – in large part because Keyes could not identify victims by name.
His motivation was enjoyment, said Monique Doll, an Anchorage homicide detective who worked on the investigation. Throughout his months of jail interviews, Keyes was utterly unapologetic and remorseless, she said.
"Israel Keyes didn't kidnap and kill people because he was crazy. He didn't kidnap and kill people because his deity told him to or because he had a bad childhood. Israel Keyes did this because he got an immense amount of enjoyment out of it, much like an addict gets an immense amount of enjoyment out of drugs," Doll told a news conference.
He also enjoyed staying under the radar, officials said. He targeted total strangers, avoiding anyone with any possible connection, traveling hundreds of miles to target random victims at secluded parks, trail heads and other remote locations.
He broke some of his own rules when he killed Koenig, abducting her at her workplace on a busy Anchorage street, where security cameras caught some of his actions, and killing her at his own house, officials said. Keyes admitted he considered merely robbing Koenig – whom he did not know – and instead gave in to his compulsions, Doll said.
"In prior cases, he had enough self-control to walk away from it," Doll said. "But with Samantha, he didn't."

The original formula of Sea Breeze remains one of the most irritating skin-care products ever created. It's right up there with the original formula for Noxzema Cleansing Cream in terms of the number of skin-assaulting ingredient it contains. Some may find this product nostalgic (especially its familiar medicinal odor) but choosing skin-care products based on nostalgia isn't any wiser than shopping for a computer based on the same principle.
A good toner should be loaded with beneficial ingredients that soothe and calm skin, never cause irritation. Learn everything you need to know about using a toner, or browse our Best Toners list on Beautypedia.
Sea Breeze Original Formula Astringent is made to remove trapped oil, dirt and makeup before they become problems. The tingle tells you Sea Breeze is working as it penetrates deep down to the pores to deep clean your skin. Your skin will look clean, fresh and healthy.
Water, Alcohol Denat., Camphor (0.68%), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove), Eucalyptus Globulus Oil, Eugenol, Sodium Benzoate, Yellow 5.
There is very little positive news about this longstanding line that began with a single astringent. The original Sea Breeze product is still being sold, and still laden with a cadre of ingredients that only harm skin. In terms of any of these ingredients being disinfectants, some of them are. However, there are considerably better, gentler disinfectants available that don't deluge skin with needless irritants.
The expanded Sea Breeze lineup is nothing special, consisting of a couple of mediocre cleansers and a bland moisturizer. It is clear that their niche market is primarily those looking for astringents under the mistaken notion that alcohol, peppermint oil, camphor, and other irritants are needed to reduce acne and oily skin. Alcohol is a great de-greasing agent for skin, but the free radical damage and irritation it causes lead to oilier skin in the long run, possibly with superficial dryness. None of the Sea Breeze products are worth serious consideration, even though it is one of the more affordable (yet woefully incomplete) skin-care lines on the market.

It is about 10 minute drive from Kichwa Tembo, Bateleur and Olonana Tented Camps, and a 15 minute drive from Oloololo Gate (the North West gate of the Masai Mara Reserve). See Map. Skyship has 3 balloons: Lindstrand 210 (6 passengers) and 2 Lindstrand 400 (16 passengers). Our balloons are ordered directly from the Lindstrand factory and are also fitted with seats. Our hot air balloons are made specially for operation in the Masai Mara. Lindstrand Balloons Lindstrand is considered to be the best balloon manufacturer in the world. We launch the balloons from our camp at sun rise. Large electric fans cold-inflate the balloon; the electric fans are operating silently so that the guests can hear animals in the serene atmosphere of the Mara. When the balloon is inflated the pilot lights the gas burners and heats the balloon. The heat launches the balloon in to the air. As soon as the balloon is launched, the passengers step inside the basket and the pilot takes off. The average flight duration is 1hr; traveling approximately 15 to 25 Km depending the wind condition. On 95% of the days the wind takes us south deep into the Masai Mara Reserve where we land. Up on landing a luxurious Champagne breakfast is served followed by a game drive en route your journey back to you hotel, camp, or lodge. Our Pilots Our pilots are highly experienced balloon operators and have accumulated numerous hours in the profession.

When I was eight, pretty much all I cared about in life was My Garbage Pail Kids collection and how I could get my hands on more Big Stuff Oreos. I was allowed to have one every day with lunch, which was the equivalent of about four regular Oreos, but still, that wasn't enough for me. In my mission to get more Big Stuffs, I befriended a girl in the neighborhood because her mom always kept them in the house. We had nothing else in common besides our love of the giant, creme filled cookies. It was a social sacrifice I was willing to make. Clearly, if I had to choose, I was, and still am, a creme over cookie person — though as Oreo is reminding us with their newest campaign, there is no wrong answer. (Check out their new site — and declare your loyalty — here.)
Anyway, when they discontinued the Big Stuffs in 1991, and I had to revert to eating a fistful of Double Stuff Oreos, I'll admit, I went through a period of mourning. I still hold out hope that they'll bring them back. I even joined the Facebook group in support. It's OK to dream. But until then, I've been busy concocting some other kinds of Oreo inventions that would make me just as happy as the return of Big Stuffs. Maybe. Keep reading »

A main part that the children will soak in and remember is the music.

Gary approves temporary loans to make pension payments
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent May 14, 2013 10:18PM
Updated: June 20, 2013 6:15AM
GARY — The city will meet its police and fire pension obligations per temporary loans from the bond bank.
The Common Council at a special Tuesday night meeting unanimously approved ordinances that allow the city to borrow $4 million in tax anticipation warrants and take a $3.5 million loan from the Hammond Bond Bank to cover the next couple months of pension payments for the departments. The loans will be paid back as the city receives its tax draws in June and December, Controller Celita Green said.
The $4 million in tax anticipation warrants are an extension to the $14 million the city drew on last year for 2013, Green said, and equal the $18 million the city borrowed in 2012. At the time the city went to approve tax anticipation warrants for 2013, it could borrow only $14 million because it was at its borrowing capacity with the bank.
Per city planning, the tax collection rate has been estimated at 75 percent for the city, Green said, and its assessed value is estimated at 80 percent.
For the $3.5 million — $2 million of which goes to the Police Department and $1.5 million to the Fire Department — pension relief monies from the state arrive in June, Green said, and will be enough to pay back the loan.
The city pays $50,000 per month in pension costs, or $10 million per year, she said.
"We've not received our tax draw, just like no other municipality in the county has," Council President Kyle Allen said. "When the tax draw comes in, the loans are paid. This has nothing to do with a lack of planning or any malfeasance."

Need some advice here. 4 year old was stung by a bee at school on Friday. When I picked her up there was a very small swollen spot that looked very normal. She was also not complaining about it, but later that evening it started swelling up more. Then by Saturday afternoon it was about 7cm's across, red, swollen and hot to the touch. She complained that it was sore but when I gave Allergex she'd forget about the bite.
Yesterday (Sunday) the same, but not getting worse. The idea was if it wasn't better by today my parents would take her to the dr. Then during the night she threw up, and she had a fever of 40.5!!! Gave meds and cooled her with a washcloth and fever went down. I thought this morning the bite area was a bit less red, not hot to the touch, but still a big area that was slightly red. So took her to my parents because of the throwing up and they phoned now, and said that they bite looks a lot better, her temp is 38, and she hasn't been sick again. Big question, do they still take her or not?
It's definately not a bee allergy where she can't breathe etc, but it is some kind of reaction, maybe infection. She is allergic to mosquito bites, and get big sores from that and I'm very scared of the same thing happening here.
November 19, 2012 at 9:54 am #1471Not all bee allergy reactions is the same!
It could be a "vertraagde reaksie" whatever that is in english….
Hope you can read Afrikaans, because I dont know how to put all this in english-too early on a monday –
Dit kan ook wees dat die angel nie reg uitgehaal is nie en daaqr meer gif as normaalweg in haar ingekom het – mens krap dit weg met n nael of n mes en druk nooit aan die angel nie. Afhangende van wat die by eet is sommige ook meer of minder giftig.
How old is your child? I would have given some fever-medicine (ponstan / panado or whatever you know works for your child) and also more allergex (or celestamine if youve got) If you can break her fever its fine. If the fever dont break – rather take her to the doctor, the fewer can even be due to something else than the bee sting!!?
However, put some ointment on the sting (germoline is good enough) at least so it stop itcing – as sy nie krap nie sal dit minder rooi en opgeswel lyk!
Good luck!
November 19, 2012 at 10:08 am #1473Yes, I'm Afrikaans as well so I understood.
I tried some other creams that are specific for stings, and then I tried Germolene as well, and the Germolene seems to have been working the best so far.
The fever and throwing up could very well be from something else, because I had a stomach bug last week, and she could've gotten that from me as well.
November 19, 2012 at 10:17 am #1475If she's improving then I wouldn't bother taking her to the doc, but maybe you should speak to the doc and ask what you should do in future if she gets stung by a bee.

AnonymousAre you sure it was a bee and not a spider bite?
November 22, 2012 at 7:50 am #1520I was also wondering if it wasn't maybe another bite. Maybe even a wasp bite. She insists that she saw the bee, but then she freaked out before with a fly saying that it's a bee, so I can't go on her word alone.
She ended up going to the dr, but he said not to worry, and just gave some Cetaphil cream. He was also not worried about her fever (kept on going up over 40) and the vomiting. She ended up sleeping the whole Monday, straight through the night as well. I kept on cooling her and just watched the fever, and Tuesday she woke up feeling fine, no fever, no vomiting. Her leg is still red, but not swollen anymore.
November 22, 2012 at 9:11 am #1525Glad to hear it better now at least.

"Look at me now!"
JCC staff member, Linda Gatton, age 56, never exercised before starting to train at the J. Feeling the effects from a sedentary occupation of working in a busy accounting department and living a sedentary lifestyle, Linda decided to that it was time to take advantage of the fitness center…just seconds down the hallway from her workspace. Linda quickly turned things around. She enjoys the exercise so much that she trains with a trainer twice a week and works out at least three other days on her own. Early in the program Linda learned it would take 3500 calories of expenditure or deficit (from less food intake) to lose one pound of fat. Immediately, the math of monitoring calories in and out was perfectly suited for someone in accounting. Linda began to understand that any extra calories from "unplanned" snacks or meals could be detrimental to reaching her goals. She still enjoys certain foods for special occasion; however, she's learned to reduce the portions to stay on top of her calorie "deficit." Linda has also been influential for her office-mates as she now encourages everyone to bring fruit and veggie plates for office treats. Overall Linda has lost 33 pounds and is more vibrant with energy and confidence since she found the fitness center."I'm strong and so are my bones!"
JCC member, Sandra Sokolik age 68, was diagnosed with osteoporosis at the severe risk level and was unable to take medications due to stomach discomfort. Sandra began working with a JCC certified personal trainer to help improve her bone density through exercise. After several weeks of working with weights and on her fitness, her osteoporosis has reversed to the stage of osteopenia. Her workouts include an intense focus on posture. Now, Sandra is self-motivated, but continues to train with her trainer once every few weeks for workout updates."I feel great!"
JCC member Sharon Taylor, age 56, lost 12 ½ inches and 15 pounds within six weeks of working with Brettany Hayes, a JCC certified personal trainer. To get a jump start on her goals, she decided it was worthwhile to train three days per week. Sharon altered her eating habits by incorporating more structure to her meal plans to control portions and calorie intake. During her workouts, she performs a combination of weight training and cardio. Additionally, she strives to stay active on her own, including taking yoga. To keep the exercise interesting and useful for Sharon, Brettany incorporates many concepts related to balance, body control and posture so that the exercise compliments her participation and enjoyment in yoga.- Weight Management

The main event of conception is the uniting of the mother and father's chromosomes to form a new, unique human being. Bear with me for a moment while we delve into the fascinating world of your chromosomes.
All of your body's cells contain chromosomes, which are packages of DNA strands; DNA holds the map of your genes. If you're a human, 46 is the magic number: we have 46 chromosomes, in 23 matched pairs. One chromosome in each pair was contributed by your father, and one by your mother. Every cell in your body contains your complete genetic blueprint, or your genome, in the 46 chromosomes in its nucleus.
A sex cell (egg or sperm), however, is an exception. Rather than a complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes, an egg or sperm has only 23 single chromosomes. When the two unite, the chromosomes combine, giving the new cell the proper number of 46 chromosomes.
Take a look at the 46 chromosomes in one of your normal cells (not an egg or sperm). What a chromosome actually "looks like" is a complicated question, but we can represent them kind of like this:
Some chromosomes are larger than others, because they contain more DNA. All chromosomes are part of a matched pair, one from your mother, and one from your father (which I illustrated here by coloring them pink and blue). The pair is "matched" because they contain the same genes -- for example, both of your parents contributed a gene for eye color, and of the color of your eyes depends on which gene is dominant.
The last chromosome is different. It's called the sex chromosome, and it determines whether you are female or male. If you're female, we call this chromosome XX, and as you can see, it is a nicely matched pair like the rest of the chromosomes.
If you're male, the last pair of chromosomes is called XY, and they're not a matched pair. The X chromosome, contributed by the mother, matches up with a much smaller Y chromosome contributed by the father. For reasons that aren't fully understood, the X chromosome contains far more genetic material than the Y, and thus it is larger in size. In 2003, the Y chromosome made headlines around the world when it was mapped by the Human Genome Project.
By the way, the sex chromosome isn't "last" in a biological sense, but is just designated as #23 by convention. Chromosomes actually float around the cell nucleus haphazardly (or at least it seems that way to us), and are simply numbered largest-to-smallest.
Now take a look at the chromosomes in an egg. We see only half of the usual number of chromosomes. Why didn't I color these chromosomes pink, since they all come from the mother? The answer is that the mother doesn't just pass along a copy of the chromosomes she received from her mother, but new, unique chromosomes that contain a mixture of the genes from both of her parents, ensuring that each oocyte, and each child, is genetically unique.
Notice that the last chromosome, #23, is the big X chromosome. Because the mother's own 23rd chromosome is XX, the egg's 23rd chromosome must always also be an X, because the mother only has X's to contribute. So any egg can become a baby boy or a baby girl, depending on whether the father's sperm contributes an X or a Y to pair with the mother's X.
Here are our friends the chromosomes again, this time from a sperm. And again, these chromosomes aren't a copy of any of the man's original chromosomes, but a unique mixture derived from each pair, bestowing traits from both of his parents to each sperm, and thus to each child.
Notice that the last chromosome, the sex chromosome, is either an X or a Y in a sperm cell. This is possible because a man has an XY pair as his own 23rd chromosome, so a choice is possible when a sperm cell is formed.
Technically, I should call the two types of sperm "X-chromosome-bearing spermatazoa" and "Y-chromosome-bearing spermatazoa", but I always just say X-sperm and Y-sperm.
If all this talk has put you into a chromosomal coma, wake up! This next part will be on the quiz.
It seems reasonable to think that if some men only have sons, they may only have Y sperm, or that fathers with all girls might have only X sperm. But in fact, years of testing have shown that virtually all men have a nearly equal number of X and Y sperm -- even men who have fathered only boys or girls.
The explanation for this is that the process by which sperm are formed -- spermatogenesis -- guarantees that an equal number of X and Y-sperm are produced. This is because X-sperm and Y-sperm aren't manufactured separately, but result from the division of an XY parent cell.
Normal cells in your body are reproducing all the time, by a process called mitosis: the cell's DNA replicates (makes an exact copy of itself), then divides down the middle, resulting in two cells that are identical to the original cell. Remember seeing cells divide in biology class?
This process of mitosis won't work for creating sperm cells,though, because sperm cells are special in two ways. First, they have only half the usual number of chromosomes. And second, they're each genetically unique, not exact copies like normal cells. (If sperm and egg cells were just identical copies, all of a couple's offspring would be clones of each other.)
The answer is a specialized form of cell division called meiosis, used only in the formation of sperm cells (spermatogenesis) and oocytes (oogenesis).
In the testes, sperm is produced by cells called spermatagonium. These cells reproduce themselves in the usual way, by mitosis, so that a man doesn't run out of them; after all, he'll be producing sperm his entire life, starting from puberty.
But some spermatagonia will undergo meiosis, in which a single spermatagonium divides into not two, but four sperm cells. Here's an overview of what happens (this is the good part):
The new cells have the right number of chromosomes for a sperm cell, but still twice the DNA (from the replication at the beginning). So...
Each cell divides yet again, yeilding two X's and two Y's. Called spermatids, these little round cells will develop a midpiece and flagellum on their way to becoming mature sperm cells: 2 X-sperms, and 2 Y-sperms.

Don't miss out on some incredible wet 'n' wild fun this summer at the Fort Peck Reservoir.
The largest body of water in Montana, this reservoir boasts more than 1,500 miles of unspoiled shoreline along its 134-mile length, and it has the largest hydraulically-filled dam in the nation.
Charted by Lewis and Clark in 1804, the area later emerged as a trading post (established by Col. Campbell K. Peck) and then served as an Indian agency, before the dam construction became part of Roosevelt's New Deal in 1933.
More than 11,000 workers assisted the U.S. Army Corps in the dam's seven-year construction, and many of the historical buildings still in the area were originally built to house these workers.
Now, in addition to producing almost 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity per day, the dam and reservoir provide a remote recreational heaven in the northeast corner of our really big state.

The Performance of Malaysian Initial Public Offerings During the Financial Crisis of July 1997
Jaafar Sidik, Morni Hayati (2000) The Performance of Malaysian Initial Public Offerings During the Financial Crisis of July 1997. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
2977Kb |
This study examines the performance of IPOs in Malaysia during the economic crisis between July 1997 to September 1999. Using the same methodology as previous studies on IPOs, this study investigates the performance of new issues both in the short run and long run based on a sample of 81 newly listed companies on the KLSE. The overall results provide evidence consistent with previous studies that most IPOs are, generally, underpriced on their first day of trading. This study documented an average first day return of 37.12%, a value significantly lower than the earlier studies on the KLSE. Comparing Main Board (MB) and Second Board (SB) IPOs performances, the results indicate that firms listed on the SB provide higher returns than firms listed on MB. This study documented two important findings when a short run performance (from week one to month six) is analysed. Firstly, when investors are fortunate to be allocated with new issues at the offering price, they are able to gain some positive returns but at a rate lower than that observed during the first day. Secondly, if they purchased the new issues at the aftermarket price, investors will earn negative returns. In the long run (12 months), IPOs is an unfavourable investment if the shares are bought at the aftermarket price. This result seems to contradict with findings of previous studies in Malaysia. A strategy of investing IPOs at their offering price and held them for one year would left the investor with some positive returns.

This fragrance-free eye cream is a decent, lightweight option for slightly dry skin around the eyes or elsewhere. Most eye creams aren't necessary (see More Info to find out why) but if you choose to use one, this is an OK option. As for the anti-aging claims, nothing in this formula will help reduce undereye bags. More often than not, these so-called bags are caused by fat pads beneath the eye slipping out of place, causing skin to pouch. This issue must be corrected via cosmetic surgery; skin care won't be of much help, no matter the claim or how much you spend. The same is true for lifting the eye area, which this eye cream also cannot do (even if it could, where would the excess skin go? Up, yes, but will that really make the eye area look better?).
This contains a high enough concentration of film-forming agent to make wrinkles look smoother and perhaps cause skin around the eyes to feel (temporarily) tighter. That's nice, but making skin feel tighter isn't the same as actually tightening loose, sagging skin. The titanium dioxide and mica this contain help brighten and illuminate skin, which is a nice effect but not really anti-aging.
More Info:
Why You May Not Need an Eye Cream
Most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.
There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse!
Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
L'Oreal Paris Revitalift presents the next-generation of skincare, RevitaLift Triple Power Eye Treatment, a powerful, luxurious eye cream that goes beyond a simple anti-aging treatment to address 3 dimensions that age the delicate eye area. 1. Fight Wrinkles, Reduce Bags 3. Lift Eye Area

Just like its sister company Lancome, L'Oreal doesn't have its act together when it comes to skin-care products. For all their talk of advanced formulas, fancy double-page ads in fashion magazines, and impressive-sounding quotes from scientists at their research and development facilities, most of what L'Oreal offers for skin care is a whole lot of nothing—or at least nothing tremendously helpful for helping skin look and feel its best.
An ongoing issue with L'Oreal (at least in the United States) is the lack of sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients in their daytime moisturizers with sunscreen. Very few of them contain the actives that provide as much UVA protection as you can get from a sunscreen. Yet this major oversight (and it's not just with the older products—several newer sunscreens launched with this deficiency) didn't stop L'Oreal from heralding the FDA's approval of their patented ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) sunscreen for use in the United States. (Mexoryl SX has been approved for years in Europe, and L'Oreal routinely uses it in the sunscreens they sell there.) The attention-getting headline was that Mexoryl SX provides "the best" and "most stable" UVA protection, but that's not entirely true; there are other options. Why didn't anyone in the media point out to L'Oreal that while Mexoryl SX may be great, that doesn't explain why the majority of their other sunscreens leave the consumers who use them vulnerable to UVA damage… Sigh… Inadequate UVA protection is not only unhealthy for your skin, it severely damages L'Oreal's credibility as an international skin-care authority.
Aside from the sunscreen frustrations, L'Oreal's moisturizers are a yawn-inducing, fairly repetitive bunch. A cursory review of their formulas demonstrates that L'Oreal is simply not keeping pace with the competition, just as Lancome isn't at the department-store level. When it comes to moisturizers or serums, just about anything from Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, or Aveeno is preferred. L'Oreal does well with most of their cleansers, along with scrubs and self-tanning products, but given the widespread availability and financial resources of this line they could be doing so much more. (You have to wonder if they're more interested in advertising and public relations than in advancing skin-care expertise.) The makeup has made major strides and now ranks as the best overall color collection at the drugstore—imagine the results if their skin care followed suit!
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all L'Oreal skin-care products contain fragrance.

L'Oreal Paris Makeup
L'Oreal's extensive makeup collection retains its stature as the overall best at the drugstore, though they have stiff competition from Revlon and, in some cases, sister company Maybelline New York. In recent years L'Oreal has made significant strides with foundation shades, powder textures, concealers, and, of course, superlative mascaras that rarely fail to impress. Their lipsticks are excellent and you will find many L'Oreal makeup products have a Lancome counterpart, and that the differences are minor, if they exist at all.
L'Oreal's displays in many drugstores have been updated to reflect better-organized products and shade categories (though testers are still scarce). Given the number of lipsticks they sell, it only makes sense to put them in color families so consumers have a better shopping experience. Their True Match products are also sensibly laid out, but the rest of the foundations aren't as organized, likely due to the smaller selection of shades. Speaking of foundations, L'Oreal has made further strides by offering more that provide sufficient UVA protection. Revlon still has the edge for consistently launching impressive foundations with sunscreen, but at least L'Oreal is (finally) catching up. The bottom line is that every category of L'Oreal's makeup has some winning (and in some cases, benchmark-setting) products. They fall short with their powder eyeshadows, but not enough to warrant avoiding them, especially if you prefer sheer eye makeup. Still, with only minor tweaking and consistent adherence to the importance of UVA protection in their cosmetic products with sunscreen, L'Oreal could pull ahead to be the hands-down winner when it comes to shopping for makeup at the drugstore.

Language Tempest At Orkut
timothy posted more than 10 years ago | from the fetch-me-the-teapot dept.
948Quirk writes "Reuters is carrying an article outlining an ongoing headbutting session between English-speaking users of Goggle's orkut and the Portuguese-speaking users of Brazil. The orkut site has more than 769,000 members; 41.2% are Brazilians and 23.5% are Americans. The sites are now mostly in Portuguese, and English-speaking users are complaining that the service is intended to be in English. Orkut is a service meant to develop by way of invitation, and the Brazilians claim since they are inviting their Brazilian friends it doesn't make sense to communicate in English. Brazilian internet users averaged an estimated 13 hours and 51 minutes in May, eight minutes more than for Americans."

"I'm obsessed with beet salad, and this one's great!"
"Beautiful presentation and bright flavors. I had to sub a jalepeno for our dinner guests and 1/2 parsely for 1/2 cilantro. But I'll try it to the letter next time. You know it's a great recipe when a 'Cane and a Gator (see reviewer directly below) can agree on it. Go Miami!"
"A great side to throw on the grill with a steak. Easy prep, impressive taste."
"So fresh and flavorful! I prefer seeded watermelon to seedless, so the prep time is much longer than 15 minutes if you are cutting out all the seeds. But it's worth it! By cutting the watermelon off the rind for this recipe I can save the rinds for pickling."
"Very good complimentary flavors for the chanterelles, but I wanted it to taste a bit "brighter" to balance the richness. I used bacon grease instead of corn oil, added shallots with the onion, and seasoned with salt and pepper. I also cooked them all at the same time in a large skillet. Next time I might top with asiago or squeeze som..."
"So good and sooo easy. After making it several times with regular caraway seeds, I searched out the nigella sativa seeds (labeled as Charnushka in my spice shop - look in an Indian grocery). My husband and I prefer the plain old caraway seeds. The nigella sativa seeds gave it the flavor of how pencil shaving smell. Not a bad taste, just not ou..."
"I've made this for the last 5 years for St. Pat's Day, and it's wonderful! The potatoes depend on your crock pot. I've made this in 2 different ones; one cooked them perfectly, the other runs cooler and the potatoes don't quite get cooked. Just finish them in a pyrex in the oven. I corn my own venison, and this recipe works perfectly!"
"Beautiful, moist and fluffy! I've made this several times now. I've used different combos of white and whole wheat flour with good results no matter what. I skip on the sugar by a few tablespoons. I've added 3 Tbsp. of diced jalepenos, and 1/2 cup of leftover corn on seperate occasions. Both varitations are wonderful."
"Excellent and just what I was looking for. I prepped the meat in 36 hours instead of 48 (about 18 hours for each treatment) due to time constraints. I didn't have a "close fitting" dish, so i laid the meat out in a 9x13 casserole, covered with plastic wrap, put another casserole on top and weighed it down. It was full-flavored and cooked beauti..."

TWO strike teams from District 4 helped fight the recent fires near Gisborne and Mickleham Rd north of Melbourne.
Heywood CFA captain Mark Saunders led strike team 0414 at the Mickleham Rd fire.
The first team of 25 volunteers departed on the morning of February 9 with two of the modern rural firefighting trucks with remote controlled nozzles on the front, one from Milltown and the other from Heathmere, as well as trucks from Drik Drik, Carapook and Dunrobin, while Mr Saunders led in the Heywood Forward Control Vehicle, a four-wheel-drive utility for mobility and scouting out fire fronts.
"At first we were supposed to man the station at Lara because all their tankers were fighting fires, but as the Mickleham fire developed we were redirected," Mr Saunders said.
"We were just this side of Warrnambool when we got the call and upgraded to go Code One (lights and sirens) to the staging area on the Mickleham football oval."
Once on site, the team was deployed into areas already affected by the fire to ensure patches which had been missed by the initial fire front didn't reignite.
"There were a lot of unburnt patches in the suburban areas, between houses and in paddocks," Mr Saunders said.
Read the full story in Monday's Portland Observer.

Zucchini Fun Facts
The internet is full of fabulous facts about everything from current events to the history basket weaving. Because of this, as we research for our daily content on food trucks, food carts and street food, we stumble upon some items of knowledge that we just did not know. We have decided when these fun facts pop up, that we would share them with our readers in our section titled "Did You Know?"
For today's Did You Know facts we will look at Zucchini.
The Facts: Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) is a popular variety of summer squash that can be consumed raw or cooked.
- One zucchini is a "zucchina."
- Zucchinis were first brought to the United States in the 1920s by the Italians.
- April 25th is National Zucchini Bread Day.
- The flower of the zucchini plant is edible. Fried squash blossoms are considered a delicacy.
- Mild bitterness in zucchini, like that in related species like cucumbers, may be result from environmental factors such as high temperature, low moisture, low soil nutrients, etc. The bitterness is caused by compounds called cucurbitacins.
- The world's largest zucchini on record was 69 1/2 inches long, and weighed 65 lbs. Bernard Lavery of Plymouth Devon, UK, grew the humongous veggie.
- Nutrients and vitamins found in zucchini can help prevent cancer and heart disease.
- A zucchini has more potassium than a banana.
- The word zucchini comes from 'zucca' the Italian word for squash.
- Biggest is NOT best. The most flavorful zucchinis are small- to medium-sized and the darker the skin, the richer the nutrients.
Zucchini Facts We Missed
Please feel free to let us know if we may have missed some in the comment section below. We always love to add to these lists. If we can verify that the facts is just that, a fact, we will give the reader credit in the article.

We have all heard over and over the many reason why people don't want to wear life jackets. Everything from: they are too bulky and uncomfortable; they are ugly; they are too hot to wear; and they get in the way of activities. An inflatable life vest, often referred to as an inflatable or an inflatable PFD, is an excellent alternative to traditional foam life jackets.
An inflatable life vest gives you excellent protection in case the unexpected happens, and are now available in U.S. Coast Guard approved Types III and V. An inflatable life vest is comfortable and lightweight to wear, even in hot weather, stylish, and with a flexible, low profile they won't get in the way of your favorite water activity – whether its fishing, boating, paddling, or sailing.
For more information on US Coast Guard ratings for inflatable life vests, read our article on U.S. Coast Guard Life Jacket Ratings. To learn how to calculate pounds of buoyancy, read our article What Does Pounds of Buoyancy Mean?
