Indians adding Pie to outfield mix?
The Indians have agreed on a Minor League contract with outfielder Felix Pie, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. The deal, which would include a non-roster invite to big league camp, could be worth $1 million in salary and performance bonuses.
Pie, 26, would provide Cleveland with some depth and insurance for an outfield that was beset with injuries a year ago. As things stand right now, the Indians' outfield consists of Michael Brantley, Grady Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo. All three suffered a variety of health woes in 2011.
According to the Sun's report, Pie would have the option to opt out of his contract if he wasn't on the Indians' Opening Day roster.
Beyond looking for added depth, Cleveland remains on the hunt for some offensive help. Finding a right-handed hitter with some power — for either first base or the outfield — remains a priority. The Indians continue to check in with free-agent outfielder Josh Willingham, who has narrowed his list of suitors.
Willingham's list might be down to the Twins or Indians, though Cleveland had not tabled an official offer as of late Saturday night. The outfielder is believed to be seeking three years and his situation might hinge on the pending decision of free-agent outfielder Michael Cuddyer. If Cuddyer re-signs with Minnesota, Willingham-to-Cleveland talks could gain steam.

Indians, Mariners among teams after Willingham
The Indians and Mariners are believed to be among a narrowing group of teams in the hunt for free-agent outfielder Josh Willingham. A source shot down one report claiming Cleveland and Seattle were the front-runners, though.
The Indians, who are in the market for a right-handed hitter with power, have yet to make an official offer to Willingham's camp. He will likely command at least a two-year deal, though seeking three years is a likely scenario.
The Twins and Rockies have also been linked to the 32-year-old Willingham, who hit .246/.332/.477 with 29 homers and 98 RBIs in 136 games with the A's last season.
–Jordan Bastian
Indians, Sizemore close to deal?
The Indians are in "serious discussions" with free-agent center fielder Grady Sizemore, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. A one-year pact between the familiar parties could come to fruition as soon as this weekend.
It has been reported that at least eight teams have shown interest in Sizemore this offseason, during which he had a $9 million club option declined by Cleveland. Other teams rumored to have interest include the Cubs, Rangers, Giants, Yankees, Phillies, Rockies and Red Sox.
One stumbling block for interested teams is the fact that Sizemore is currently rehabbing from surgery on his right knee and is not currently able to run through a full baseball workout. The Indians, on the other hand, are more familiar with the center fielder and his recent medical history.
If Sizemore does indeed re-sign with the Tribe, that would open the door for outfielder Michael Brantley to remain in left field, with Shin-Soo Choo in right. Brantley can also man center. The Indians might still look to add outfield depth, but the focus for additional power might center around an upgrade at first base.
The Indians have considered acquiring a left fielder and playing Brantley in center. The thin free-agent crop in the outfield might make some of the current options too costly for Cleveland's liking. Some names floated as possibilities for the Tribe have been Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer and Josh Willingham, among others.
–Jordan Bastian
Indians looking for more
The general thought with the Indians is that top prospects Drew Pomeranz, Lonnie Chisenhall, Jason Kipnis and Alex White are untouchable in trade talks. General manager Chris Antonetti would not go that far when asked about his top prospects earlier this week.
"People have asked me that question a lot," Antonetti said. "Any GM, I think, would be hard-pressed to say that anybody is untouchable, because for the right combination of players in return, you have to be open minded to trade anybody."
Cleveland's Big Four are untouchable when it comes to two-month rental-type acquisitions. For players who are under contractual control for a few more seasons, though, the Tribe is keeping an open mind.
The Indians are reportedly one of a handful of teams talking to the Rockies about star pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez, who is signed through 2012 with club options through 2014. According to FOX Sports, Colorado has asked for Pomeranz as a starting point for a potential deal. The Tribe is extremely reluctant to move the big lefty.
Beyond starting pitching, the Indians are still in the hunt for offensive help. According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter), Cleveland is "making a strong push" for Padres outfielder Ryan Ludwick. The outfielder is hitting .238/.302/.373 with 11 homers and 62 RBIs this year for San Diego.
Ludwick suited up for the Tribe for parts of the 2003-2005 seasons and Cleveland was actually involved in the three-team deal that sent Ludwick from the Cardinals to the Padres on July 31 last year.
On Thursday, the Indians acquired outfielder Kosuke Fukudome from the Cubs in exchange for two Minor Leaguers (outfielder Abner Abreu and pitcher Carlton Smith). The Tribe is in need of outfield help with both Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore out due to injury.
–Jordan Bastian
Indians land Fukudome
The Indians and Cubs finalized a deal on Thursday that sent outfielder Kosuke Fukudome to Cleveland. The Tribe sent Minor League outfielder Abner Abreu and Minor League pitcher Carlton Smith to Chicago.
Fukudome, 34, is batting .273 with the Cubs. He's owed about $4.7 million for the rest of the season. A source close to the situation said that Chicago was going to pay "a vast majority" of the money still owed to the outfielder.
The Indians are in need of offensive assistance, especially with Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore sidelined with injuries.
~Jordan Bastian
Indians asking about top names
Indians manager Manny Acta said recently that fans of the Tribe would be "shocked and surprised" at the effort the front office is putting forth in an effort to pull off a trade or two before Sunday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trad Deadline.
On Tuesday, Cleveland was named as an interested party for two of the top players presumed to be available.
In a piece for MLB.com, columnist Peter Gammons wrote that the Indians were willing to give up a good player and take on salary in order to acquire Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran. Unfortunately, Cleveland "did not fit" for Beltran, who has a right to veto any trade. Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated tweeted that the Indians have shown interest in Colorado starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Prior to Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti held court with reporters to discuss the upcoming Deadline. Antonetti indicated that acquiring offense is the Tribe's top priority, but he noted that the Indians have also had plenty of conversations about pitching help.
While Antonetti would not deem any of the club's top prospects as "untouchable," he did say that it would take a "compelling" deal to pry them away. Antonetti added that the Tribe was not likely to part with any of its top core prospects in a trade for a player who would only be around for this season's final two months.
All of that said, the Indians are definitely in buying mode.
"We want to take advantage of every opportunity that we have to get to the postseason and advance in the postseason," Antonetti said. "That said, you have to be mindful of the cost of doing that. I think we are prepared, and have talked about it, to do what we can, what's reasonable, to improve the team."
–Jordan Bastian
Indians targeting Kuroda?
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports (via Twitter), the "three hottest teams" going after Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda are the Indians, Tigers and Rangers.
Cleveland is known to be searching high and low for outfield help, especially with both Grady Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo out with injuries, but the club is also in the market for rotation assistance. After Sunday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox, Tribe manager Manny Acta made it clear that his club is working hard in trade talks.
"The truth will come out," Acta said. "A lot of people will be shocked, surprised and be quiet for a long time after they find out every effort that the team put into it."
Does that mean the Indians are on the verge of pulling off something big?
Given the number of rumors that are including Cleveland as a suitor right now, it certainly seems like the Tribe is trying to pull the trigger on one or two deals. The Indians have also been linked to outfielders B.J. Upton, Coco Crisp, Josh Willingham and Ryan Ludwick in various reports.
Hunter Pence and Carlos Beltran are unlikely to land in Cleveland.
As for Kuroda, he is 36 years old and is owed roughly $4 million over the final two months. Over his past nine starts, the right-hander has posted a 2.78 ERA with a .221 opponents' batting average. His 3.19 ERA on the year indicates that Kuroda is having a better season than his 6-12 record would indicate.
Cleveland has reportedly shown interest in Aaron Harang.
–Jordan Bastian
Indians pursuing Rays' Upton?
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Indians are one of a growing number of teams talking to Tampa Bay about outfielder B.J. Upton. Cleveland is hunting for outfield help and Upton fits the mold.
Upton would not likely cost as much in prospects as Carlos Beltran or Hunter Pence, and the Rays outfielder is under contractual control through 2012. Upton isn't having a stellar year — he's hitting .232/.312/.400 with 15 homers and 52 RBIs — but he still provides speed and power potential.
Upton is under contract for $4.825 million this season and is eligible for arbitration for the 2012 campaign.
As things currently stand, the Indians are without center fielder Grady Sizemore (right knee injury and sports hernia surgery) and right fielder Shin-Soo Choo (broken left thumb) Both could be back in late August or early September.
The Tribe has also been linked to Coco Crisp, Josh Willingham and Ryan Ludwick, among others, in various reports and rumors.
Cleveland — also possibly in the market for rotation help — has also reportedly shown interest in pitcher Hiroki Kuroda of the Dodgers.
–Jordan Bastian
Indians searching for outfield help
Cleveland's need for outfield assistance is clear. On Thursday, center fielder Grady Sizemore underwent surgery to correct a sports hernia — an operation initially planned for the offseason — meaning he will be sidelined for four to six weeks.
Sizemore injured his right knee on Sunday (the same knee he hurt in May) and was going to probably need at least a month to recover. Under the circumstances, the Indians felt it made sense to tackle both issues — rest for the knee and surgery for the hernia — right now.
Unfortunately for the Tribe, that leaves the outfield short Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo (broken left thumb) until late August or early September, if their respective rehabs go well. Over the past two games, Cleveland was also missing Michael Brantley and Travis Buck due to health issues, exposing the club's depth (or lack thereof).
Naturally, the Indians are being mentioned in a variety of trade rumors and reports for outfielders. Cleveland has been tied to outfielders such as Josh Willingham, Ryan Ludwick and Coco Crisp. Jeff Francoeur and Melky Cabrera also would make sense as targets. Carlos Beltran and Hunter Pence seem unrealistic.
The Indians are open minded about pursuing a right-handed or left-handed bat, but the organization does not plan on parting with top core prospects for a perceived "rental" player. Such prospects that appear to be off limits include lefty Drew Pomeranz, righty Alex White, third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall and second baseman Jason Kipnis.
The outfield is the most glaring area of need, but the Indians have also explored available options to boost their rotation as well.

The Descendants
There's an old saying that goes something like, "Man makes plans and God laughs." On its surface, that sounds a bit cruel; but the truth is, none of us knows what the next second holds for us. We all go through our day with a feeling of control that is nothing but an illusion. Our lives are dependent on a nearly infinite number of events happening exactly as they should, from the beating of our hearts to the care taken by other drivers with whom we share the road. One weak link in the chain could bring untold suffering raining down on our heads. There's also the chance that someone we love or depend upon could also be buried in the fallout of another's poor choices. In this week's movie, "The Descendants," George Clooney plays a man whose life has largely been on auto pilot. Now, he faces the results of choices, both good and bad, that will affect the rest of his life.
Matt King has an enormous amount on his plate. He's a lawyer who oversees a family trust controlling 25,000 acres of pristine Hawaiian wilderness that has been in his family for over a century. A recent change in state law will nullify the trust in seven years. The family has received offers worth hundreds of millions of dollars from developers wanting to turn the land into resort and retail space. Matt has the final say on who gets to buy the land. Matt's two daughters, 10-year old Scottie (Amara Miller) and 17-year old Alexandra (Shailene Woodley), are both a handful. Scottie has been sending inappropriate text messages to classmates and Alexandra is in a private boarding school for behavioral issues including drinking and drugs. At Christmas, Alex and her mother Elizabeth (Patricia Hastie) had a huge argument that was never resolved. It never will be, as Elizabeth was injured while participating in a powerboat race and is in a coma. Doctors tell Matt she will never recover and is brain dead. Her living will requires her to be removed from life support and Matt is faced with the prospect of being a single father when he was rarely involved in the girl's lives when his wife was well. Matt brings Alexandra home from school and tells her about her mother's impending death. She tells her father the fight she had with her mom was over a man: Elizabeth has been having an affair and Alexandra saw the two of them together. Obsessed with finding his wife's lover, Matt has Alexandra retrace her steps on the day she saw them. They drive past a For Sale sign on a house that has a picture of the real estate agent and Alexandra recognizes the man as her mother's lover. Brian Speer (Matthew Lillard) is a land developer with a wife and children of his own. Matt tracks Brian down to another of the islands and plans on confronting him as well as giving him an opportunity to say goodbye to Elizabeth.
"The Descendants" most attractive feature is the averageness of the characters on screen. No one stands out as too beautiful or too smart or too anything. The entire cast of characters struck me as the kind of people I could meet in my day to day comings and goings. While these average people are facing extraordinary circumstances, all of their decisions feel real and grounded (with one exception I'll get to shortly). All their actions make complete sense. Even Matt's desire to find Brian Speer makes sense whether you agree with it or not. The only decision that struck me as a bit unrealistic is the resolution of the land issue. Without giving anything away, many people will probably see it as an effort by the filmmakers to make a statement. It struck me as a bit too precious.
George Clooney sheds most of his sexy personae in "The Descendants." His appearance is about as average as it gets. Clooney, mostly dressed in tasteful Hawaiian print shirts, khaki shorts and sandals, plays Matt as a very plain man with simple needs and wants. His law office is drab and packed with files and boxes of more files. His home, while large and comfortable-looking, is no more or less so than any of the other homes we visit. Clooney's performance is subtle and nuanced with no excess emotion or flashy dramatics. He fully embodies a man trying to keep himself together even while his life is trying desperately to pull him apart. When he says his final goodbye to his wife, Clooney breaks your heart with his mixture of grief, anger and regret. The film's main characters are all in a shared experience. These are people facing the end: The end of a life, the end of a family legacy and the end of an illusion of a faithful mate. All these conclusions make for the kind of conflict the audience can relate to. While the film may fall short on action and adventure, it's off the chart when it comes to being relatable.
"The Descendants" is rated R for language including some sexual references. Foul language is at times a large part of the dialog. It is often used as a method to shock the audience into laughing especially when the 10-year old fires off a dirty word or obscene gesture.
"The Descendants" will not appeal to everyone. There are no car chases, no nude scenes, no explosions and no murders. It also isn't animated nor is it in 3D. It is a simple story of a man facing a devastating loss and trying to face it with as much dignity and grace as he can. I can only hope to be as strong if I find myself in similar circumstances. It is a film well worth your time and may be in the final running during next year's Oscars.

Hello everyone. I've been recently looking into running Anima with my gaming group and have been plowing through the core book. I got up to Chapter 10, Ki Dominion and decided to give a shot at making a character before reading any further. I decided to make a Shadow, however that led me to read the beginning of Chapter 10 due to his Special: Ki Concealment. The confusing part to me is every class receives Martial Knowledge points (at least all the ones I've glanced at), so why doesn't every character have Ki abilities? Unless there is another use for Martial Knowledge that I have read yet, why not spend the MK points on Ki Abilities and Techniques?
Ki and Martial Knowledge
Posted 06 November 2012 - 03:38 AM
Posted 06 November 2012 - 04:19 AM
Every class CAN get Ki Abilities and Dominion Techniques. Ki Abilities, especially. But for most classes it's a slow process.
You've got to buy at least Level 1 Martial Mastery for your Shadow as an Advantage in order for them to be able to get Ki Concealment at Level 1, as it costs 60 points of MK to get there. 40 points for Use of Ki, 10 for Use of Necessary Energy, and 10 for Ki Concealment. And there's plenty of other abilities to spend it on. Presence Extrusion and Aura Extension are almost a necessity, if you want to be able to block energy etc.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 05:38 AM
Thank you for the clairification, that makes sense for a 1st level character. As I have not played, I'm not too familiar with how fast characters progress, so pardon me if this is not a valid example. If you have a 10th level Shadow character, the character will have accumulated 250 MK points. I would seem useful to spend those on Ki abilities instead of having them just sit around. Is this sound reasoning? Are there other uses for MK points?
Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:03 AM
Well, you might need to develop a Dominion Technique or two by the time you're getting to that level. Virtually everyone else will have, and it'll make a big difference.
They're in the same section of the book.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:44 AM
MK can be used to:
Learn Ki Abilites
Learn Dominion Techniques
Learn Impossible Weapons
Learn Ars Magnus(minor or major)
Learn Nemesis
Learn Element Seals(ki summoning)
Learn Limits
Posted 06 November 2012 - 08:22 AM
I'll check out those other items you mentioned Raybras. Thanks for the info. I started reading the GM section (or somewhere else) and in there they mentioned levels 8-10 a character is legendary (or godly…don't remember which). So I guess that kind of explains what you were saying Beadle about not having enough points to make it worth while, unless you pick up other advantages.
I do have another question sort of on topic. I'm slowly understanding Ki points and accumulation. Can someone briefly explain how the two work?
Posted 06 November 2012 - 08:59 AM
Ki Accumulation is the rate at which you can gather Ki Points from your Ki Pool to unleash Dominion Techniques. Your pool is your maximum, so you spend some, it's gone until it regenerates(according to rules and advantages)
Posted 06 November 2012 - 02:30 PM
Thanks Raybras! I was digging through the forums and saw someone recommend using the optional rule of a general Ki Point pool, instead of an individual points for Str. Dex, etc. Is this in the core book? If so, pardon my laziness…I have too much to read as I'm starting from the ground up with this game.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 04:51 PM
The generic Ki Pool was added in Dominus Exxet. It's written somewhere at the beginning
Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:05 PM
Coming from my own game, the generic ki pool made things far more simple, less math involved and less paper used to keep track lol. I looked at magic and psychic general rules and found theirs more simple so i said yes you can use the pool as well.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 04:33 PM
Thanks for the recommendation. Are the generic pools for magic and psychic found in Dominus Exxet as well, or are they in the core book?
Posted 07 November 2012 - 05:26 PM
Zeon (Magic) and Psychic Points only ever come in a single, generic pool. Ki's the only one that started off attribute-specific.

It's not just the palpable frustration with Greenpeace solicitors on Broadway this summer — according to an article in the most recent New York Times Sunday Styles section, people are too overwhelmed by the command to be "green" to do much about it anymore.
The piece explored an emerging syndrome caused by "green noise." It found that the barrage of (often contradictory) messages about what is "sustainable" and what is not — endlessly splayed across the media — have not caused more eco-awareness, but rather a vast sense of consumer helplessness and inactivity:
A study by the Shelton Group, an advertising agency and market research company based in Knoxville, Tenn., that focuses on environmental products, showed that consumers surveyed in 2007 were between 22 and 55 percent less likely to buy a wide range of green products than in 2006. The slipping economy had an effect, but message overload appeared to be a major factor as well, said Suzanne C. Shelton, the company's president."What we've been seeing in focus groups is a real green backlash," Ms. Shelton said. Over the last six months, she added, when the agency screened environmentally themed advertisements, "we see over half the room roll their eyes: 'Not another green message.'"
The article aptly observes that attempts to decrease one's environmental footprint often leave consumers walking in circles. The reporter, Alex Williams, cites a number of familiar scenarios, such as shoppers who replace disposable plastic water bottles with reusable Nalgene bottles, only to read soon after of the potential dangers of carcinogens and growth hormones contained within their chic containers:
An environmentally conscientious consumer is left to wonder: are low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs better than standard incandescents, even if they contain traces of mercury? Which salad is more earth-friendly, the one made with organic mixed greens trucked from thousands of miles away, or the one with lettuce raised on nearby industrial farms? Should they support nuclear power as a clean alternative to coal?
A long article in the February issue of San Francisco, headlined "Green With Worry," was one of the first pieces to notice the extreme reaches of the "eco-anxiety" trend, painting vignettes of neurotic soccer moms ransacking their neighbors' trashcans for recyclables and unburdening their anxious, guilt-ridden minds in weekly eco-therapy sessions:
More and more of us are becoming high-strung eco-worriers for whom a new study in the New York Times or a Yahoo! headline are triggers that can easily cascade into a swirling mass of anxiety about, well, almost everything What happens after an eco-worrier has changed all the light bulbs? Burnout.
The San Francisco piece was preceded by an MSNBC article from July 2007 described a rash of eco-terrorism (think anti-fur protestors, but instead of throwing red paint at socialites, they're slashing the tires of Hummers); a Time article from last November delivered a first-person account of the author's struggles with the paradoxical paradigms of eco-consciousness and eco-anxiety; and from across the Atlantic, an article from late January in The Scotsman welcomed readers to "the world of green fatigue," noting that "sticking our heads in the ever-warming sand is the newest way to deal with the often conflicting information that assails us about what's happening to our environment."
The San Francisco magazine article seemed to make the biggest media splash, however, provoking a number of responses from popular environmental blogs. It also seemed to spark lots of analogous coverage from mainstream outlets piggybacking on the interest in "ecopsychology:"
• "Eco-anxiety replaces dishpan hands for 'green moms'" (International Herald Tribune, February 15)• "Well, Doctor, I Have This Recycling Problem" (The New York Times, February 16)
• "Worried? You're not alone " (The Independent, March 20)
• "Guilt over failure to achieve eco-ideal" (Toronto Star, April 28)
In the time that elapsed between San Francisco's feature and the Times's article about green noise last Sunday, the definition, or at least the repercussions, of "eco-anxiety" shifted from over-exertion to apathy. That change is evident in the characters upon which each story is based.

You have been tasked by the NFL with providing feedback on the Pro Bowl to the owners and commish of the NFL. What do you...Read More
The MLB season is now fully under way. We have a full week in the books and as usual, a number of small market teams are making noise while some of the usual giants are still slumbering. It remains to be seen if this is an anomaly or a sign of changing times, but regardless, it is all the fun of opening week.
- Picked as part of my 2012 All-Breakout Team, Astros outfielder JD Martinez is off to a solid start in Houston. No longer a rookie, Martinez is enjoying starting the season as the Astros starting left-fielder. On Friday, he hit the first home run in Marlins Park history, one of his 3 to start the season. Overall, hes batting .385 on the young season, with 8 RBI and a 1.198 OPS.
- - The Washington Nationals are off to a tremendous start to the season. They lead the National League East with a 6-2 record. The Nationals also lead all of baseball with a team ERA of 1.80 and opposing teams are batting just .180 against Washingtons pitching staff. The ERA mark is more than a run lower than the next closest staff, the Toronto Blue Jays.
- - Oh, and for those wondering is Stephen Strasburg would start the season like he pitched in limited duty last season, hes surrendered just 1 earned run in 13 innings pitched and struck out 14 in his first two starts. Strasburg is the real deal.
- - It is good to see Mark Reynolds of the Baltimore Orioles in mid-season form. The 3rd baseman is hitting just .143 to start the season and has struck out 10 times in just 21 plate appearance, all without a walk. For their part, the Orioles are said to be installing a windmill in center field to generate alternative energy from all those swings and misses.
- - Bartolo Colon made a huge comeback with the New York Yankees in 2011. Yet the Yankees wanted to upgrade their staff, did not resign the former Cy Young award winner. So Colon signed with Oakland in the offseason and has kept the good times rolling. While not stellar, he is 2-1 with a 3.72 ERA for the As. The former power-pitcher has become more of an artist, walking just two batters across his three starts on the season.
- - Colon isnt the only Athletics player making noise. Cuban refugee Yoenis Cespedes has gotten a lot of publicity for his 3 home runs to start his major league career. However, he is also pacing Major League Baseball with 13 strike-outs. No one doubt Cespedes ability to hit pitching at the major league level, but the strike-outs are proof that the he is still struggling to adapt what is obviously better pitching than he saw in the Cuban leagues.
- - He may not be wearing sunglasses at night, but Corey Hart is probably the coolest guy in baseball right now. The right fielder has helped the Brewers forget about Prince Fielder thus far in 2012, leading Major League Baseball with 4 home runs, a 1.000 slugging percentage, and a 1.481 OPS. As a matter of fact, 6 of his 8 hits on the young season have gone for extra bases. The Brewers will need him to keep raking if they are to continue to contend in the strong NL Central.

European Spas: Tradition and Inspiration
By Bryan Durocher
Posted: April 14, 2008, from the November 2007 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
The Thalgo Institute
Location: Adjacent to the Golden Tulip Hotel, Paris
Summary: Water, water everywhere
Overview. In France, professional skin care is as fundamental as professional dental care is in the United States. French women make it a priority to beautifully care for their skin. At this no-nonsense skin care center, the focus is on the ingredients—specifically, Thalgo's marine-based formulas. Water, therefore, is a key component at the Thalgo Institute, including hydrotherapy treatments and aquatic exercise.
My experience. My Gentleman's Detox Marine Facial featured Thalgo products containing Algue Bleue Vitale, a blue algae sourced from lakebeds in Oregon, which, the company claims, stimulates cellular renewal and offers anti-aging properties. This was a classic facial in the very best sense—featuring virtually painless extractions and a truly transforming face, shoulder, neck and hand massage—performed by one of the most competent therapists I have ever experienced.
The takeaway. This classic European facial left my skin looking and feeling better than it had in years, which highlighted the fact that it's important to avoid underselling your tried-and-true treatments. Don't lose sight of the fact that a good, foundational skin care protocol can be every bit as effective as a newer, high-tech or high-impact treatment. These approaches have worked for years and they allow you to offer effective results, along with the luxury and relaxation that clients crave.
Le Petit Chateau Fontenay
Location:Bad Wörishofen, Germany
Summary: Health first
Overview. A European destination spa in the purest sense, Fonteney, situated in a lovely, forested area about two hours outside of Munich, focuses solely on health and well-being. This is not the place for 18 rounds of golf or fruity drinks by the pool. Comfortable but no-frills, Fonteney is all about wellness, and guests come here specifically for better health and increased vitality. The spa philosophy is modeled after the approach of Sebastien Kneipp, a 19th-century German healer who is recognized as a spa industry and integrative medicine pioneer. Kneipp contracted pulmonary tuberculosis as a young man and developed his own cure, which involved taking full-immersion dips in the icy waters of the Danube to literally shock his system back to health. For the rest of his life, he defined and refined his Kneipp Therapy, which is comprised of The Five Pillars: hydrotherapy, herbs/phytotherapy, exercise/kinesiotherapy, nutrition/dietetics and lifestyle/regulative therapy, all of which are practiced at Fonteney.

Cytokeratin 10 (Keratin, Type I Cytoskeletal 10, Cytokeratin-10, CK-10, Keratin-10, K10, KRT10, KPP) |
Description: Among the cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IF) proteins, keratins make up the largest family and are expressed specifically in epithelial cells in a cell-specific manner. Keratins include more than 20 unique gene products (termed K1-K20) that are divided into type I (K9-K20) and type II (K1-K8). Most epithelial cells express at least one type I and one type II keratin as their predominant IF protein complement in an epithelial cell-specific manner. Cytokeratin 10 is a member of the type I (acidic) cytokeratin family. Cytokeratin 10 is synthesized in the suprabasal cell layers of certain stratified epithelia, in an endogenous differentiation program and is expressed in certain epithelial tumors and is generally associated with keratin-1. Its deficiency leads to epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK). The type I cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q21.2. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:25-1:50 Immunohistochemistry: Frozen Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Skin Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. |

Go To Laws for Landlords | Publications and Podcasts |
Multiple TenantsIf you are sharing a rental property and each of you has paid part of the security deposit, the landlord is under no obligation to return part of the security deposit if one tenant leaves before the tenancy is over. The only exception would be if both landlord and tenants had specifically agreed in the original tenancy agreement to the partial return of the deposit before the tenancy is over. In the absence of such an agreement, the security deposit will only be returned when the tenancy ends. When the security deposit is returned at the end of the tenancy, the landlord must make the cheque out to all original tenants even if some have already left the premises. May 2005 |

Disaster-struck residents of Queens struggled to bring their life back on track amid a heartfelt but chaotic relief response a week after Hurricane Sandy flooded their neighborhoods. Throughout the battered borough streets, distressed families spent much of the week cleaning up their homes and walking miles in search of food and comfort.
In the Rockaways, Howard Beach and Broad Channel — the hardest hit neighborhoods in Queens — stunned residents could often be heard describing what they saw as a "war zone" or a scene from the "developing world."
Exactly one week after the storm, the National Guard worked side by side with a Urban Search and Rescue Task Force at a wide-scale emergency aid distribution center set in a shopping center parking lot on the corner of Beach Channel Drive and 115th Street.
Steps away, families wandered around piles of donated clothes and shoes in the cold air, in search of warm clothes.
"Blankets, food, water," read a makeshift sign on the boulevard as guardsmen in camouflage attires signaled for cars to roll toward the site.
About 40,800 residents of Queens still lacked power Monday, according to figures by Con Edison, with prospects of a full restoration of electricity still up in the air. More than 19,000 were out of power in the Rockaways, which is served by the Long Island Power Authority.
A long-time Rockaway resident, 51-year-old Veronica Motta, pushed a trolley packed with water bottles and children's winter jackets.
"I've been taking water and supplies back and forth to my area," she said.
But like many storm victims, Motta said that she wandered for a long time before discovering the site.
"Someone on 80th Street told me about it; we would have never known otherwise," said Motta.
Across all three neighborhoods, disaster victims said that, cut off from phone lines and without access to the Internet, they had come to rely on word of mouth to obtain relief information.
"When we leave from here, we speak to those who are coming our way and we tell them where to go," said Augustin Urbina, 55, as he rummaged through donated clothes. Urbina said he walked for an hour to reach this site –— the closest one to his damaged home on Beach 67th Street.
On the ground, relief distribution personnel worked around the clock on Monday to hand out supplies such as water bottles, blankets, ready-to-eat meals and orange ponchos originally intended for the New York City marathon.
Echoing the comments of victims, relief workers on site also said that they did not know whether the local population had been informed of their presence.
"I'm not really sure how they found out [about the relief effort]," said First Sgt. Robert Davis, deployed in the peninsula since Wednesday. "I understand the city sent something out electronically, but not sure how that would help."
Carter Greenhoward, 41, a salesman living in Arverne, expressed frustration at the feeling that residents of his neighborhood — known as the "60s" — were not provided critical information to access relief efforts.
"They say information is power, but it's during these times that you realize it's true," he said.
Greenhoward and his wife Yadira, who have no heat or power, said they only found out about the relief center Sunday, five days after the storm hit.
"If I had had a little bit of information throughout this week, it would have made my life a lot better," Greenhoward said.
The couple saw in the lack of guidance given to their predominantly African-American neighborhood a repeat of the discrimination reported after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans in 2005.
"We were Zone A for the storm, the storm came and destroyed everything, now we're Z for the help."
"I never thought I could feel these feelings; all the racial things I heard about Katrina, it's true," said Greenhoward.
In a half dozen interviews, residents repeated similar accusations of racial profiling.
Hernesto Brown is a 42-year-old waiter sharing a home on Beach 67th Street with his mom and sister.
The two-floor brick bungalow was flooded with 12 feet of water when the ocean and the bay merged at the peak of the storm last week, engulfing the first floor of his house. But relief only reached Brown and his family Sunday, he said.
"We were on the backburner," he said. "I didn't want to say that. Everybody says it's because it's a black neighborhood."
Across the bay, in Howard Beach, though instances of flooding weren't as widespread, throngs of families continued to deal with the aftermath of the storm. Over the weekend, lines up to 50-cars long formed as locals waited to fill up their tanks. Gas shortages, caused by delivery interruptions during and after the hurricane, complicated their return to a daily routine.
Noel Madina, 36, was first in line Saturday at a Hess gas station between Cross Bay and Linden boulevards. Standing outside in the cold with a fuel tank in his hand, the electrical worker said that he had been waiting twelve hours for gas.
"I'm in line for my children's mother's car, otherwise she can't get to work," he said. "So Mister Daddy had to wait in line all night."
Across Queens, meeting immediate needs took priority. Yet, communities throughout the afflicted areas spoke of the same long-term goal: reconstruction.
In Broad Channel, brothers Mason and Frank Porretto, who co-own a construction business, were fielding dozens of phone calls from neighbors eager to begin the rebuilding process. But each time, the brothers bore bad news.
"You can have it done in a couple of weeks," said 34-year-old Mason Porretto. "But we have no power, and we can't really start construction until we have gas stabilization."
Back in Howard Beach, police officer Edwin Perez, 33, gazed at the ashes of what used to be his neighbor's house, devoured by flames caused by an electrical fire the night of the storm.
His own house was flooded.
Yet, Perez considered himself a lucky man. The house he bought as a newlywed is insured and a representative from FEMA, the government's agency that provides financial assistance in cases of natural disaster, has already stopped by his home to assess damages.
"I want to rebuild here. This is our first home; I'll rebuild it from the ground up," he said.

SCOTTSDALE - Shanesha Taylor, the jobless mom whose arrest has drawn national attention to just how frayed America's social safety net has become, made a last-minute decision on the advice of her lawyer to skip a news conference held on her behalf Tuesday morning in front of the Arizona Capitol.
Her lawyer, Benjamin Taylor, and community advocate Jarrett Maupin said they met with Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery on Monday for "quite some time" and have another appointment Friday to discuss dropping Shanesha Taylor's felony charges and getting her and women like her the support they need to find jobs and affordable child care.
"Her case is still pending," Benjamin Taylor said at the end of the 25-minute news conference. "The situation is not appropriate for her to speak."
Shanesha Taylor is scared and nervous, said her publicist Joyce Vogt, who partnered with her Chandler church to post the mother's bail 10 days after her arrest March 21.
Taylor, 35, was arrested on child-abuse charges after leaving her 6-month-old and 2-year-old alone in her Dodge Durango for 45 minutes while in a job interview at a Farmer's Insurance office in Scottsdale. Taylor told police she was jobless, without child care that day, and had occasionally been homeless.
Since her arrest, a charity fundraising website set up on her behalf has raised more than $102,000 from 3,588 donors. Experts say that puts Taylor just behind the most notable group of crowd-funded charity recipients: a handful of Boston Marathon bombing victims who raised more than $100,000 each.

Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Chris Koster, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, has obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent a St. Louis boarding kennel owner from housing any dogs.
Koster filed a lawsuit April 22 against Greg Striebel and Landmark Animal Center, Inc., for violations of the Animal Care Facilities Act (ACFA) after inspectors from the Missouri Department of Agriculture discovered that Striebel and Landmark Animal Center:
In his lawsuit, Koster sought a temporary restraining order to prohibit Striebel from any further violations of the ACFA and from conducting any ACFA-regulated activity until further order of the court. The suit also seeks a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation of the ACFA and demands that the defendants pay court costs.
Koster, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, has made cracking down on illegal dog breeders and sellers a priority in his office. "We want Missouri to be known as a state that raises animals in a humane environment and offers dogs from well-operated kennels to buyers across the country," Koster said.

Asks for public help to prevent summer burns
Hot, dry temperatures, lighting and human-caused wildfires have kept BLM Idaho wildland firefighters busy these past few weeks. With increased temperatures expected to continue, firefighters are asking the public to help prevent human-caused wildfires and reduce the risk that both firefighters and the public endure when suppressing preventable wildfires.
On May 10, BLM Idaho State Director Steve Ellis issued a Fire Prevention Order making it a misdemeanor to carry, discharge or otherwise use fireworks on BLM-managed lands. Violations of the order may bring fines and jail time, and violators who start wildfires can also be liable for the costs of damage and suppression.
In Idaho, humans are typically responsible for 60 percent of all wildfires on public lands managed by the BLM. The cost of putting out a large wildfire can reach into hundreds of thousands of dollars and can bring criminal charges in some cases. By taking a few simple precautions, you can avoid starting a wildfire.
Roadside fires are extremely common this time of year, and 75 percent of these fires result from mechanical or electrical failures, including malfunctions. Be particularly cautious any time you pull a trailer; ensure your tires are inflated to the proper level; and check the grease on your wheel bearings to avoid a blown tire. A safety chain dragging too low will bounce off the road surface and produce sparks. These sparks will be difficult to see as you drive, which means you may start any number of fires as you drive several miles without ever knowing what destruction you leave behind.
Avoid driving your vehicle off the road surface and into tall grasses. Catalytic converters and exhaust systems heat up to very high temperatures, easily igniting dry grasses and shrubs. Ensure that your vehicle receives routine maintenance, as this can help you avoid most of the problems that might start a fire. Periodically conduct a thorough check on your own as well. Be sure to carry extra water or a fire extinguisher with you when recreating outdoors. Practice responsible use of OHVs and ATVs.
Be especially careful with all outdoor equipment use. This includes chain saws, welding equipment and portable generators. Use spark arrestors, and keep water handy in case you do start a fire.
Enjoying a campfire adds to many outdoor experiences, but the devastating effects of an escaped campfire could last for many years. Never leave a campfire unattended and take the proper steps to completely extinguish your campfire before you leave your campsite.
For information on being fire safe outdoors, visit: http://www.smokeybear.com/be-smart-outdoors.asp.
It is important to prepare your home by clearing debris and removing dead plant material. Avoid stacking firewood directly against buildings. Plant fire-resistant flowers, trees and shrubs around your property. Visit www.idahofirewise.org for more tips on how to protect your home from wildfire damage and for a list of fire-resistant plant species. Think before you go outdoors this summer. Act to protect your home and property from wildfires.

The group acclimatized there for a week, celebrating New Year's Day in Nepal on April 14, the first day of the year 2059 on the Nepalese calendar, with a Puja ceremony, a ritual that celebrates life and seeks to appease the mountain gods. The climbers and their male sherpas burned juniper incense on a stone altar and made offerings of tea, yak butter and chang, a powerful rice beer the celebrants also consumed in copious amounts. They began climbing on April 17.
Since then, the climbers have survived six crossings of the Khumbu Icefall, the most unpredictable and treacherous section of the mountain. They have also safely ascended and descended the Lhotse Face, a 2,000-foot sheer wall of unstable snow and ice that claimed the life of British climber Peter Legate on April 30, making him Everest's first fatality of 2002. Climbing conservatively, Clark's expedition spent most of early May pinned down by bad weather at Camp 1 and Camp 2, situated at 19,500 and 21,300 feet, respectively.
Westword contacted Clark on May 10, during a "resting rotation" following the team's perilous descent from high on the mountain during a narrow window of decent weather. The group had hoped to begin its next bid for Everest's 29,035-foot summit the next day, but it's currently pinned down by high winds at base camp. The following questions and replies were communicated via an Internet relay set up by the Discovery Channel, one of the expedition's sponsors. Daily updates on the status of the expedition are available online at www.discoverychannel.com.
Westword: Greetings from 5,280 feet. How's base camp this morning?
Kim Clark: Base camp is quite pleasant. I woke up to clear blue skies and short-sleeve weather. Our "tent city" is all on the Khumbu glacier moraine, so it's built on top of rock and ice. The ice is constantly "popping" and melting out, requiring us to rearrange our (far from flat) tent platforms. Base camp sits at the base of the 2,000-foot Khumbu Icefall, which is a massive tumbling jungle gym of ice blocks the size of apartment buildings. On one side of camp is the Lohla (a pass that leads to the Rongbuk glacier in Tibet). The Lohla sends off avalanches daily that echo throughout camp. Sometimes camp is even dusted by them. Prayer flags branch out from every camp site, reminding us of the sherpa culture that is steeped in Buddhist tradition.
WW: Could you describe your first ascent of the Lhotse Face?
Clark: My team and I took six hours to ascend 2,600 feet to Camp 3, which is two-thirds of the way up the Lhotse, at 24,400 feet. It is definitely the steepest terrain we have covered so far (except for short, steep ice sections in the Khumbu Icefall). It has a fixed line of rope that we clip an "ascender" into as we go up. It is angled around 55 degrees and is mostly snow lower down and then turns into hard blue alpine ice. The ice is hard to get purchased on with our crampons. Not many people had been up before us, so there were not really any footsteps made to speak of. It was somewhat intimidating for us to ascend because Peter Legate had tumbled to his death down the face the day before. The altitude made for a whole lot of "panting" on the way up, especially on the steeper ice sections that required short bursts of power. I even sunburned my tongue as I "sucked wind." Descending the face made me nervous, as you had to be really careful to make sure you don't miss a safety clip or lose your footing as there is no self-arresting on this ice.
WW: What was it like to be trapped by high winds at Camp 2 for nearly a week? How did you maintain sanity?
Clark: Sixty-five-mile-per-hour winds sound like your tent is going to rip apart at any second. It doesn't make for good sleeping. I maintained sanity by hanging out in our community dining tent and playing non-stop Hearts while keeping an ear to the radio for guide reports of weather from camp to camp.
WW: At the Puja ceremony, what did you pray for?
Clark: I prayed that each member of my team (including sherpas) would return safely from the mountain. The sherpas will not even climb without a Puja (blessing), which makes one not take safety for granted. We not only sought blessings at our Puja, but also received one from a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Pang Boche [a sherpa village one day's hike from base camp]. We visited his house. I pray daily, as I want to give thanks to this mountain and pray for our safe return. I've realized very clearly that I don't want to die here.

Apparently, thee are two types of people on this forum, those that believe bees eat fruit, and those that refuse to. I formerly thought claims of honey bees dining on peaches and plums to be grossly exaggerated. Now, it has happened to me. In my backyard, my flourishing peach tree is COVERED in hundreds of bees enjoying my fruit (yes, I know this is hard to believe, but I will post pictures if necessary). Even stranger? It is the middle of the summer here in San Jose. The only other accounts of bees on fruit occurred deep in the winter months of the fruit tree season. Can someone please explain what is going on and why? I do not wish to disturb or disperse them, just learn about why they are doing what they're doing. Thanks everyone in advance. |

I'd like to see a pic or two. I imagine they are grabbing sugar (fructose). |
(And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct. [B]Then eat from all the fruits[/B] and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.) The Noble Quran verse (16:68-69) |
Post a few pictures and settle the discussion forever. |

I've seen bees working the fruit juices oozing from worm damaged fruit. I'm not sure but I don't believe bees have the mouthparts to tear into the skin of healthy fruit. |

It's not honeybees what you might have doing the damage, the initial wound is usually done from other insects, birds or just damage in the fruits, natural cracks etc.. ..then bees taking advantage. Most certainly, pictures of your bees wouldn't settle this discussion. |
It is not hard for me to believe at all. The second year after my neighbor started building and setting up his hives, his bees destroyed all of my figs. Before they were even at the picking stage, his bees were feeding off of them. Anything worth picking was already destroyed. This spring one of his peach tree limbs was dropping over the fence and I saw that they were feeding on the peaches before they were even ready to pick. I have gardened and harvested figs for 8 years prior to this. His bees serve no purpose other than putting money in 'his' pocket. I hate to kill anything, but next harvest will be an exception. |

Who doesn't love cookie dough? It's so yummy and delicious! Add peanut butter and chocolate and you would think it couldn't get better but it does. They are no bake and easy to make, so try them the next time you need a yummy snack!
No Bake Cookie Dough Bars
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flour
12 oz. chocolate chips, divided*
1/2 cup peanut butter*, optional
* You can adjust the chocolate chips in this recipe and add more to the dough or when you melt them with the peanut butter. Being frugal I just add a little less then normal. Also if you aren't a fan of peanut butter or can't eat it you can just top with melted chocolate chips.

I'm going to keep this review short due to I share the same opinions as most concerning this product. I feel like I wasted $14 USD. It might sound silly but I think the products you use (skin care, hair and makeup) should be enjoyable to use, this was not fun to use. It didn't do anything; was slightly sticky, you really had to rub it in as there wasn't a lot of slip, no immediate glow, compared to most vitamin c products on the market and in the end didn't deliver on its promised results.
More reviews by combatmedicwife
Got this on sale to try. I love the vitamin C and the ingredients, but this didn't do anything for me. No radiance, no oomph, nothing. And for some reason it gets foamy (a la soap!) when you rub it in.
Not a fan! First of all, it didn't do anything for me. I didn't see any difference in my skin after using for a few weeks. Second, it made me break out. I'm pretty sure it's this product because I would stop using it, my pimple would eventually go away, then I'd get another one a few days after trying this serum again. I ended up tossing it so I wouldn't be tempted to try again!
I did like the slim glass bottle and the smell wasn't too bad.
This product unclogs pores! It's a silky vitamin C serum that brightens, lightly moisturizes, and - let me say it again - unclogs pores. If there were ever an all-purpose vitamin C product, this is it.

I picked this up a few weeks ago on clearance at CVS for dirt cheap. I like C serums and have good luck with them in the past, they just tend to be a bit pricey. I don't think this is quite as effective as Avon or Ole Henricksen, but still a very good product. It makes my skin smooth and glowy without irritation. The packaging is very nice for a drugstore product, heavy glass bottle, with a pump top.
I bought this at CVS because I was looking for a vitamin c product to address some light post acne marks and because it was 75% off, making it around 5 dollars. I figured that made it a great place to start.
I have to say, I'm really liking this stuff so far! I have very sensitive/ reactive skin, so I'm weary of trying anything new. Although this contains some unnecessary fragrance (in my opinion it smells wonderful at least) and some pigment, I haven't had any negative reactions from this, which is actually pretty amazing. I've been using it for about a week which is plenty of time for me to test for rashes/breakouts.
My skin is typically dehydrated, tight, flaky, red, and prone to clogged pores/ whiteheads around the mouth (which leave pink marks behind). I've recently been trying to change up my routine, and I can't believe the difference that's made in a week's time, and this serum has been a daily new addition. My skin is no longer dehydrated or flaking, and the whiteheads have essentially ceased to come up. The redness is slowly fading toward my naturally porcelain tone, and some of my post acne marks are visibly reduced.
I can't necessarily attribute all those changes to this serum, but I do feel confident that it's played an important part in adding in some moisture, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. (I've also been trying turmeric for red marks and diluted Alba Botanica Acnedote astrigent, both of which have also played a major role in my skin's recovery). I understand what was happening now- dry flaky skin leads to clogged pores which leads to whiteheads. trying to treat them with acne products causes more dry skin, causing a cycle of more dryness and more breakouts.
I'm still looking for an hg day time moisturizer with spf, but for the past few days I've just used this for moisture. It makes my skin feel a little more plump and dewey and protects me from flaking toward the end of my day as was typical for me. My skin in general just feels *healthy* now, like it's nourished for the first time in ages. Next time you're at cvs, keep an eye out for this lumene brand (in case they're having discounts like this), and the vitamin c line in general. Once I do find a good moisturizer/spf, I will be wearing this underneath as it's so lovely and the antioxidants enhance the effectiveness of spf.

I like this really much. I think it brightens my skin a bit, it also has a nice scent. I hate the glass bottle. I dropped it once on the floor and of course it went into pieces. Luckily this isn't too expensive. I will be repurchase when i've used all the other serums i have now. Good price, good product.
This stuff is amazing. It's less than $20 and yet it performs just as well if not better than higher end products.
First of all the packaging is great, it comes in a pretty glass tube that has some heft to it, and it looks nice sitting on my vanity. There's a pump that dispenses an adequate amount and you always know how much is left.
Consistency is like a liquid/gel, and it spreads easily on my face. It stung maybe once or twice, but never anything unbearable. As an exfoliant with lactic acids, a slight tingling is understandable but I've only experienced it a few times.
Of course what I love most about this product is what it does. I have large pores, oily skin, and am prone to dark acne scars. This serum helps keep my oily skin manageable, and it has seriously brightened my skin. Even after the first week I noticed my scars were fading, and now they're hardly visible on my cheeks. The redness and darkness of my scars is significantly reduced, to the point where most days I can skip a heavy foundation altogether. That's been the most amazing part of this product, my acne scars were a primary reason for wearing full foundation, but this has helped fade them significantly. While this hasn't done much for the pitted acne scars (nothing really will short of microderm), the redness and discoloration has really been taken care of.
I highly recommend this for brightening skin, especially if you're prone to dark red post acne marks.

So far I'm loving this! In the bottle it looks like it may be heavy or oily but once it's in your hand and on your skin it almost feels like a gel. I only use 1 1/2 pumps and that's enough for my entire face and neck. It absorbs into the skin quickly and so far I can see the improvement in my skin texture. I'm sold on this...I haven had any irritation or breakouts so I'll continue to use this nectar. Only been using it for a little over 2 weeks and I'm impressed but I don't see a lot of brightening as of yet, a little but though.
