Hi everybody!
We have just posted Martin's song. This song is special to us. It tells the story of a child who is left to his own means to survive and doesn't make it. ChordSlinger works at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati and sees similar stories over and over. He wrote the verses to tell the story, and Lola wrote the chorus which asks "Is there something we can do? There must be something". We hope it brings a little awareness. Thanks so much for listening to our music!
The instruments were all played by Chordslinger, except the guitars and drums which were played by his friend Miguel, who did an outstanding job. We are very thankful. The mix and mastering was all done by ChordSlinger in his home studio.

2010 Chateau La Croix de Roche Bordeaux Superieur Rouge, France

1999 Chateau Simard Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France
You'd never know this mostly Merlot blend from St. Emilion is from 1999; it's still showing young, barely ripe raspberries and black plums, with a whiff of porcini and roast beef marrow, almost akin to some Cabernet Franc. The finish is short but… Read more
2003 Ch. Latour Blanche Sauternes, Bordeaux

1961 Ch. Mouton Rothschild, Bordeaux

I have a Jade houseplant for 5+ years and all of a sudden, I noticed little white mealy bugs! What is the best way to rid the plant of them? Where do I need to look for them so that I make sure I get them all? Also should I repot the plant? I had someone else water it while I was away and looks like it was overwatered. It looks like some of the leaves have brown rot. Help I love my plant! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Start your control of the Mealy Bugs with a good sharp water spray to knock off as many as possible and follow that up with some insecticidal soap sprays. Overwatering is the single most common problem with house plants so cut back and water only when the plant really needs it. |
Be aware that insecticidal soap may damage succulent plants. You'd be wise to test it on a small portion of the jadeplant (perhaps one branch), then wait a week to see the result. |
Oooh, jean001 is so right! Jade is one of the plants that may suffer damage from insecticidal soap applications. But I will tell you what you can use, with great effectiveness! Mix a solution of one part rubbing alcohol to three parts water (or stronger) and fill a small spray bottle. Apply liberally to all parts of the plant, even after you see no obvious signs of mealy bugs. |

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › Collection of Essays on Water Rights Edited by Royster Released
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Professor Judith Royster's edited collection of essays with Prof. Barb Cosens of the University of Idaho titled The Future of Indian and Federal Reserved Water Rights: The Winters Centennial has been published by UNM Press.
In this detailed collection of essays, lawyers, historians, and tribal leaders explore the nuances of the Winters Doctrine, the Supreme Court decision that determined when land is set aside for the use of Indian tribes, that reservation of land includes reserved water rights.
Royster also moderated a session on cultural sovereignty at the TU Symposium on Material Memory held at the Gilcrease Museum May 18-19.

It will be the first in a series of seasonal retreats, providing a friendly open space where people who care about the environment will be inspired and refreshed.

Creating a Safe Space for Obese Pilates Clients
The work of Joseph Pilates was developed more than 80 years ago during a time when the population was made up of far fewer obese individuals. Today we have a chance to reach out to this population and apply Pilates techniques and principles to a demographic that desperately needs to be introduced to the powerhouse.
Physical and emotional safety must be adhered to. Prepare yourself and your studio or department to welcome obese clients.
Physical safety:
- Check the furniture in your facility for weight limits. Be sure to have at least one chair with no arms for the comfort of the larger body, especially during the intake or health assessment.
- Have proper forms for medical clearance and do not proceed without the okay from a primary physician.
- Ensure dressing rooms offer some type of privacy, even if it is a larger bathroom stall.
- Clear the work area of all equipment.
- For mat work, ask the client if he/she is comfortable getting down on the floor. Teach proper body mechanics for getting down to and up from the floor. Use a massage table if the floor is not an option.
- Teach proper body mechanics for getting on and off equipment.
- In regards to touch, always ask permission and go slowly. This gives time for the central nervous system to regulate and not get activated.
- Check all machines for weight limitations. Sitting on a stability ball can be alarming. The client fears falling off or busting the ball.
- Be sure your staff is "size sensitive." Not all health professionals are comfortable working with the overweight client. Identify those within your facility who have a passion for working with this population.
- Don't "sell" the client on what you can do for her (eg, help her lose weight) but instead ask open-ended questions.
- Listen. It is about the client and not about you and how fabulous you are.
- Follow through with your ideas and create the program to fit the client's needs.
- Build trust and rapport, this is the art of the work. For many, this may be one of the closest relationships they have, so healthy boundaries must be maintained (as with any client).
- Preserve their dignity and self-respect.
- Be one step ahead while staying grounded. You have to know and anticipate physical and emotional concerns, be skilled to address them and be ready to refer out to qualified professionals if necessary. If you do not have the answer, honesty is the best. Let the client assist you in developing what he or she needs.

Notes: To save time, buy fresh pineapple already peeled and cored.
Sunset FEBRUARY 2002
1. Set each pineapple ring on a plate. Top each with a scoop (1/2 cup) of frozen yogurt and 1/4 cup raspberries.
2. To make the caramel, pour sugar into an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over medium-high heat; shake and tilt pan often until sugar is melted and amber-colored, 2 to 3 minutes. At once, pour slowly, in thin streaks, over desserts.

I began noticing brown spots and edge-crinkling on many of my plants' leaves about a month ago, and soon after discovered hundreds of aphids and their offspring. I keep spraying everything with a Bonide All-Season Organic Spray Oil and water mixture, and it does the trick for a while, but new aphid families keep cropping up. They've devoured my bleeding heart, lettuce and cilantro, and I suspect they're the reason my beloved lilac bush is looking sickly. The other problem is that, despite the fact that all my plants are on the approved list for treatment with the Bonide, many of the petals and leaves become translucent and soaked with the oil then die anyway. I can't pressure spray them and let plain old water do the job because my balcony doesn't drain terribly well. Does anyone out there have a tried and true trick to getting rid of aphids? And is there an abnormally large amount of them this year? I've never had problems like this with them. They haunt my dreams! Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Besides the oils and soaps, ladybugs and green lacewings do a damn good job on them. |
Thanks! I went to my local park and found some tall plants with ladybug larvae all over them, filled a container with about 50 and now they're going to town on the aphids! |
It sounds like your organic spray was doing its job. -However it only kills the adults, while leaving the eggs intact. Therefore it needs to be reapplied every fourth day or so. Good to hear the aphids are doing the work for you! |

I am having the same problem this year! And never have in the past. I've been using a mixture of Dawn and tap water in a spray bottle, but I recently noticed some spider mites as well so I bought Ortho Mathalion concentrate. It's too soon to tell, but I'm not convinced it's working. I'm intrigued by the lady bug information. Is it helping? |

This is the customer survey website created by Survey Square for Shopko. The slogan of Shopko is my life, my style and my store.
Shopko Inc, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, owns over 140 stores and 200 Pamida discount stores in 23 states in US. It is a member of Fortune 500 and it has been distributing high quality products and services for its customers. More than 140 general stores are operated in the Middle West and Pacific region. It is the first retailing chain which has incorporated pharmacy.
Founded in 1962, it has been one of the forceful members in retailing industry in America. It has employed more than 16,000 workers and generates annual sales exceeding 2.2 billion USD. It offers home supplies, footwear, bedding articles, furniture and electrical appliance. Though it is not as influential and extensive as Walmart and Kmart, it is the most successful regional retailer in US and in the world.
Early in 2000, Shopko bought Pamida, a grocery retailing chain which located Crete, Nebraska and Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Pamida is based in Omaha, Nebraska and it intends to meet the daily demands of the small communities. In these small towns, Pamida is the only general retailing store and its high stock-sales ratio has been its trump to success. It doesn't have to attract customers by discount and freebie. As long as it has enough stock inventories, it can make money in these small regions. When Pamida was bought by Shopko, which then had about 180 stores, it gradually set up a comprehensive coverage in Middle West.
In the end of 2005, Shopko concluded its deal with Sun Capital Partners Inc. Then it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Capital. The latter bought it at 29 per share. Sun Capital is a top private investment company which has incorporated all kinds of retailing companies in the circle of convenience stores, pharmacy and clothing. It owns Anchor Blue Retail, Gerber Childrenwswear, Hanna Anderson, Kellwood and Gordsman.
Recently, the price fixing and optimization software has won the favor of retailers in various professions. In 2002, Shopko astonished the world with its gain of 3 cent per share despite its declining sales volume. It was one of the first few companies which had applied management software in retailing circle. The key was the price reduction management software developed by Spotlight Solutions. Optimum pricing has been a popular and effective strategy in retailing industry and people are crazy about its power. It strictly and cautiously guards the pass of pricing, price cut-down and promotion.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brendas Female kitts, a Cincinnati Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

2006 is a very tannic vintage for Barolo, and even the early drinkers or
entry level wines are difficult to taste at this stage. 2007, on the other
hands, is much easier to drink now.

California show reports record attendance
Posted onThe Newport Boat Show, held April 18-21, not only set new attendance records this year — up more than 3 percent from any show in the last decade — but also one offering in particular caught the eyes of many.
The HeliCat 22 — a flashy hybrid between a helicopter and a catamaran — got more than 30,000 views on the show's Facebook page and had 267 shares as of this morning. Every other vessel posted on the site got between 6,000 and 9,000 views.
"Our social media was getting a response," show producer Duncan McIntosh told Trade Only Today in an email.
The number of vessels 70 feet and larger was up more than 150 percent, higher than any show for the last decade. The total number of vessels exhibited in this year's show was up 22 percent from the 2012 event, McIntosh said. And this year's record number of show attendees included many boat buyers.
"Brokerage deals were particularly strong, with many offers being written in the $200,000 to $650,000 range," McIntosh said in a statement. "We also saw some resurgence in new boat activity: Offers were being written on a number of vessels topping $1 million."
Accessory, equipment and service displays and booths sold out quickly this year. "Making room for and growing this segment of the show is priority No.1 going forward," McIntosh said.
A number of charters and boat slips were sold at the show, Janette Hood, operations manager and advertising director for the Duncan McIntosh Co., said in a statement. Accessory and service exhibitors were enthusiastic about their results.
"I had quite a few accessory vendors ask to give deposits on their space for the upcoming September Lido Yacht Expo and our 2014 April Newport Boat Show, as they were very successful with their sales and leads from this show," Hood said.

As I was looking over these scooby doo character voice compares, I wanted to see a year comparison. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but I'll try haha. See there are many voice actors that have voiced a character over a long period(s) of time (i.e. Kevin Conroy as well as scoob related ones) on many different shows/movies, so I thought it'd be cool if there was one page (or perhaps, an added feature to the Voice Compare feature) for telling what year to year that voice actor voiced the character. I'm suggesting it because I was interested in seeing how many years one voice actor had the role of say Velma compared to another. I hope I was clear. If not, just tell me and I'll try and rephrase it better. Haha.

You wouldn't expect a movie star to ask the TV networks not to air his movies. But Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign in the California governor's race has prompted him to do just that. Reuters reports that Schwarzenegger's advisers have asked the networks not to air any of his films between now and the Oct. 7 election, lest any of the 250 other candidates invoke federal equal-time regulations and demand similar amounts of free airtime.
It's happened before. When George ''Sulu'' Takei ran for Los Angeles City Council in 1973, his 14 opponents demanded equal time after a local station ran a ''Star Trek'' rerun in which Takei appeared for 17 minutes. And when Ronald Reagan ran for governor of California in the 1960s, he left his gig as host of ''Death Valley Days'' so that the show wouldn't have to be yanked off the air. (When he ran for president in 1980, stations pulled reruns of the series.) In recent years, equal-time regulations have been relaxed, but officials at ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC all told Reuters that they had no plans to air any of Schwarzenegger's films over the next few months.
Only broadcast outlets are subject to the equal-time rules. So you still might be able to see Schwarzenegger's movies -- or, for that matter, reruns of ''Diff'rent Strokes'' (starring candidate Gary Coleman) or old ''Saturday Night Live'' episodes featuring Father Guido Sarducci (a.k.a. candidate Don Novello) -- on cable.

Conversion Rates for Publishers Clearing House Increase 20% with Return Path Certification
The impact of becoming members to the Return Path Certification program was like winning our own sweepstakes!
We had good deliverability thanks to Return Path's expert advice, but we wanted to extract more revenue from our key domain, Hotmail. Our Return Path account manager recommended certification as a solution because of the image rendering benefits afforded to program members. Once accepted, not only did we maintain our good delivery at Hotmail, Yahoo! and all of our key domains, but our click-thru rates improved by 6%. That lift resulted in a 20% lift in conversion in just two months! And with Return Path Certification costing just a fraction of a penny per email, Return Path Certification is the best solution on the market for senders who want to extract real revenue from their email program.
- Sal Tripi Sr. Director of Operations and Compliance, Publishers Clearing House
Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is one of America's largest direct marketers and its web property, pch.com is now the leader in sweepstakes marketing on the internet. Through value-based magazine and merchandise offers, rich promotions, sweepstakes excitement, and a trusted brand name, PCH is able to attract millions of customers and achieve exponential sales growth year after year.
One of the key ways pch.com drives traffic to its website and maintains a relationship with its users is by sending email invitations. These email invitations encourage new visitors and subscribers to enter sweepstakes and review value based magazine subscriptions and merchandise offers online. While their user base is very engaged, they need to be reminded of pch.com offerings in order to drive revenue for their program. Otherwise, they may forget to return to the website.
As a result, email is an important revenue driver for their business so they are focused on maximizing deliverability for optimum response. While pch.com had near 100% deliverability and regularly achieved 20-30% click through rates, they wondered if there was some way to increase their response levels, particularly at Hotmail. Hotmail makes up a healthy 17% of their list which represents many millions of users. Therefore, even a small bump in response could greatly impact their bottom line.
As a Safe sender in the Return Path Certification program, pch.com had already achieved near 100% deliverability across their key domains. But their desire to earn higher response rates at Hotmail prompted them to upgrade their membership and become a Certified sender. As a Certified sender, not only would pch.com receive VIP treatment to 2 billion inboxes including Hotmail, they would also receive special privileges at Hotmail that would give them the bump in response that they desired. These privileges include:
- Links and images automatically enabled. Since pch.com emails are graphically driven promoting sweepstakes entries and magazine covers, automatic image and link enablement resulted in a pop in their response.
- No hourly throttling limits. Since pch.com sends a large volume of of emails every day, the ability to send email without volume limitations gave them the added flexibility to send messages that arrive at the right time.
Additionally, they were welcomed past spam, security and content filters that may have otherwise typically blocked their email because of some common terms they used in their email promotions particularly those associated with sweepstakes entries. As a result, pch.com applied for the upgrade. They already had strong reputation metrics so their Return Path account manager knew they would have no trouble meeting the rigorous standards of the program.
Pch.com was accepted to the Return Path Certification program in January 2009. As a result of their upgrade to Certified sender, pch.com was not only able to maintain 100% deliverability at their core domains including Hotmail, but they experienced a significant lift to their click-through and conversion rates. Improved rendering coupled with the other program benefits resulted in a 6% lift in click-through rates and 20% lift in conversion rates at Hotmail – a big win for pch.com.

You have provided us with years of bizarre entertainment. You may have peaked with the Sith Lord episode and your campaign against naked short selling but you continue to amuse. Your 3Q earnings press release, in which you made various statements about your auditors' alleged views on Overstock's latest accounting mishap was excellent. Grant Thornton's reply to the SEC, in which they basically accused you of lying, took this episode to the next level. But I am really thankful that you took it one step further and "corrected [their] mistatements".
Steve Wynn & Sheldon Adelson
Wynn always provides great quotes on his conference calls. Whether he is telling investors that he will take advantage of their stupidity or directly confronting the administration for their suicidal policies. Thank you Steve.
And to Sheldon Adelson, thank you for all the amazing commentary you provide on your conference calls. Among the many quotes worth saving, my favorite was your joke that you may be cooking the books at your recently IPO'd Macau subsidiary.
Thank you for creating an information firehose that distracts me from work and play. If only I could post half as often as I tweet.
Thank you for loaning our country so much money. And thank you for being such a fascinating place, a parallel universe where collusion is OK and business operates on the businessman's terms. I am hopeful you avoid the credit growth and over-investment fueled crash towards which I fear you are headed.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Please tell us what you are thankful for in the comments.

Dead_Cat commented on the Screw You, Science piece thusly:
I hereby launch my new fund Doomsday Device Partners Fund I LLC. This is a private equity-style product specifically focused on the acquisition and exploitation of doomsday devices. The fund will develop a diversified portfolio of doomsday devices, which may include particle accelerators, nuclear research and generation facilities, underground virus research laboratories and key religious artifacts. Nicolas Cage will be Chief Investment Officer and Milla Jovovich will be Chief Risk Officer.
Unfortunately for you, and really for all of us, Long or Short Capital already has a Doomsday Device fund, one which is itself a doomsday device. We designed it with an automatic trigger system, a sophisticated system of arrays and failsafes such that, if any competing doomsday fund were ever to be launched, we would be able to retaliate no matter what happened to the value of our assets.
And unfortunately for you, and really all of us, we may not have been entirely sober when we designed this system. We called it The AYFKM system, but we generally referred to is as "No Whammy." Kaiser conceptualized the structure. The first part of the design is an array which monitors an assortment of global communication channels. There is also a direct line of communication from No Whammy to the Long or Short Capital bunker, which is not a euphemism for our moms' basements.
The device can be activated in one of three ways:
What does it mean for No Whammy to go live? It means that within 72 hours, thermonuclear missiles will be fired from silos we have across the globe, rendering the Earth uninhabitable. We did design a fail-safe in case of a mistaken triggering of No Whammy: we have a bunker with a single person in it who has access to a button that can stop the process, provided he first gives enters the correct password.
Unfortunately for you, and really for all of us, that bunker is staffed by Yuri, a drunk and a loudmouth. And Dmitri absolutely HATES Yuri. Dmitri, you see, was the first button-pusher we hired. We had a following out with Dmitri over a heated game of Risk in which one party did not honor his agreed upon alliance, and in fact, exploited the truce that the illusory alliance provided in order to build up forces and launch an invasion from said party's (it's Dmitri, duh) Kamchatka base. We immediately replaced Dmitri with Yuri, because we are a responsible firm, one who cares about things like not negligently letting our doomsday device render the Earth uninhabitable. But what we could not control was how many times Yuri had had sex with Dmitri's wife Ludmilla. Or in how many different positions. Or on how many internet webcams. And when he learned of them, these numbers very much upset Dmitri and he refused to divulge the appropriate password to Yuri. Or to us. So if No Whammy goes live and at that time Yuri deems it appropriate to stop the launch of the missiles, it's on Yuri to correctly guess the appropriate password.
And thus here we are. Not for long mind you, but here we are.
Recommendation: This is a clear demonstration of how important it is that when deploying an automatically triggered doomsday device, one must first SIGNAL that such a device is being deployed. That is really the whole value in the device in the first place. This is a mistake we won't make again, we promise you. Amazingly, this has happened before.
||If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then plagiarism is the sincerest form of imitation.
-Malcolm Gladwell plagiarizing from his friend Jacob
The seniors want to steal $250 each from our kids. We should say No.
Rosanne Altshuler, co-director of the Tax Policy Center in Washington, says that the checks "seem to be pure pandering to seniors."Indeed, the politics are attractive. People over 65 vote in large numbers. Saying no to them is never easy.
This is demonstrably false. After reading this article, I immediately set out to the street. There I spotted a female senior citizen. Although I didn't cut her in half and count the rings, which we all know is the only way to accurately tell a woman's age (and much more polite than asking her), she was definitely over 45. I could tell because I had no manly desire for her. I snatched her purse from the clutches of her arthritic claws.
"Give it back!" she said.
I said NO. And boy was it easy. Her arms didn't hold the strength to dissuade me, being as scrawny and infirm as they were.
I trotted at a medium gait towards the river. She followed me on her senior scooter device. By the way, she had a senior scooter device.
"Do not even think about throwing my purse into the river, you [handsome] young man," she chided from her saddle.
My feet stopped, my cobalt eyes locked onto her gaze, and my lips let lose NO. And again, it was easy to say "NO" to not even thinking about throwing her purse into the river. What could she do? Her aged brain clearly lacked the telepathic abilities that could have forcibly compelled me.
As I cocked my arm and gazed upon the horizon, I thought about her life, who she was, and how much she had given this world. What wonders she must have experienced growing up in the 60′s or 70′s! All those changes and stuff!
"Sonny, don't throw my purse into the river. I beg you, I'm just a poor old woman on social security and we only got a 5.9% cost of living adjustment last year."
That old bat's mutterings gave me pause. Was I wrong? Were the old "not so bad?" Did these leeching frauds who are destroying the young deserve a second chance? A scan of the contents of her purse caused me to unpause. Raising the bag over my head, I turned it on its end, disgorging it of its contents. First things to fly out were wads and wads of counterfeit $100 bills. Then a leather carrying case for a syringe and rubber hose, a baggy full of heroin, 106,328 metric tons of CO2 emissions, a gun with the serial filed off, Polaroids of various women in open-toed shoes, gold bullion cubes, a well-worn copy of Eat, Pray, Love and innumerable kitten heads.
"Listen you old broad, and listen good. No. NO, I will not not toss your bag into the river. NO, I will not consent to you mortgaging America's future. NO, I will not be ok with giving you a check for $250 so you can proceed to either not spend it, or worse, use it to subsidize Steve the Senior Stud's cialis purchases at the nursing home, or whatever frivolous way you will deploy this cash, cash which you clearly don't need based on 1) the way you have pilfered from America's future your whole life and 2) the contents of your purse. No no no NO. Learn what that means because I am going to saying it to you a lot."
And with that, her purse shot through the air, entering the fray of the choppy waters, scored only by a screechy dying old-ladyish "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Full disclosure: Long or Short is Long Age Warfare.
HT to the love of my life, crampell.
|In December, if all goes well, protons will start smashing together in an underground racetrack outside Geneva in a search for forces and particles that reigned during the first trillionth of a second of the Big Bang.
Obviously, Science has a different definition of "all goes well" than I do. Things not on my "all goes well" list:
But that's not even the part that really frustrates me. Previously there was a notion that Science had some measure of prudence and competency. But Science has evacuated its collective gourd. From the above linked article:
Then it will be time to test one of the most bizarre and revolutionary theories in science. I'm not talking about extra dimensions of space-time, dark matter or even black holes that eat the Earth. No, I'm talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.
Which is worse:
Recommendation: Isn't this the kind of thing that would give a reasonable person pause? Not Science dude, no Science just plans to plow through it and hope it all works out. Awesome.

I love this product. It really does wake you up. I adore the gel texture. It is so light on skin as well as making it feel so refreshed and moisturised. It smells divine! It is quite glowy. I have found with a lot of moisturisers that they are thick and greasy, well this is completely opposite to those as it glides on feeling so refreshing and light. My skin is dry in the morning and feels quite tight but when I put this on it well.. wake me up! Love this product!

This is a lovely lightweight moisturizer perfect for the summer, when you don't want a tonne of products on your face (though make sure you use a foundation/bb cream with high spf as this has none).
It does certainly wake me up with its cool lightweight texture.
When you look at a drop of it on your hand, there seems to be tiny reflective particles within it. However, you see none of that once applied.
It absorbs quickly and has a refreshing scent typical to most Garnier products. Though, it is not overpowering.
This product will definitely not be enough for those with dry skin as it is so light.
But for those with super oily skin like myself, it will be perfect.
I use this every morning in conjunction with the Moisture Match for normal skin (as it contains spf) or the Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion SPF 30 or the Avalon Organics Vitamin C Moisture Plus Lotion SPF 15. Alternatively, I also use this alone when wearing a foundation/bb cream with high spf on top of it.
This is no miracle worker, though it is perfect for everyday in the summer and I already have a back up ^.^

Wonderful! Wonderful product! Although I'm a big HE snob, I tend to have a soft spot for Garnier. Don't know why but I suspect it's probably the package colours they're using â make me think of fruits/flowers/spring/sun, etc.. And luckily so far I haven't been disappointed. As for the product, it has a cool orangey gel-like texture, a divine peachy scent, absorbs really quickly, doesn't make a mess if applied under primer (Le Blanc de Chanel) + foundation (Dior Nude liquid). Doesn't cause any red sports, itchiness. This morning I woke up and noticed that my skin was silky smooth after I applied it yesterday evening. I shall certainly repurchase it and probably one of its sisters too! Thank you Garnier!

This is truly a fantastic product. I normally do not opt to use such words for products made by Garnier but this has quickly become a HG product for me, I have actually repurchased this three times since I first originally tried it. I was drawn to these when they were on special offer and first used the one for dry skin, or 'Goody Bye Dry', the little pink bottle. I was not at all impressed with that one, I didn't like the consistency, it was watery, and when I got to the end of the tube I didn't feel that it had improved my skin in any way.
On the off chance that I might have better luck trying another one, I decided to give the Wake me Up a go and I'm very glad I did. I don't think my skin in necessarily dull but I like to look fresh and glowy and this moisturiser definitely helps to achieve that. It is a gel like consistency and is literally the perfect base for make up, it very quickly absorbs, I put a little bit of Soap & Glory's Hocus Focus on top and it helps my foundation to stay in place all day, whilst giving you a dewy fresh glow. I love how it is very light and yet at the same time feels very hydrating, it is my ultimate day time moisturiser and I have stopped using face primer because I simply don't need any when using this. I have used moisturisers in varying price ranges before and have never found one that I have been more pleased with than this.
I think if I had to find anything negative to say about it is that the tube is a bit small, you don't get a lot for your money. Whilst it is not an expensive product, I would expect more for the £6.99 they charge, as you only get 50ml which lasts me about a month. Also, I wouldn't really use this at night time, I prefer something a bit thicker and anti aging at night.
Overall though, definitely the best product Garnier have brought out in a long time, I would recommend and have repurchased!

I got this as a sample, and I loved the way it made my skin look glowy and peachy so decided to buy the full product. The formula is gel based and smells citrusy which reminds me of summer. Unfortunately it made my skin look far too greasy. - Not a good look I'm afraid.
My skin is combination, large pores and uneven tone. I rarely get blemishes though.
I needed something to replace my (pretty basic) moisturiser. I got a sample of this and I loved it! I bought it soon after and it is great.
It cost me £5.99 in Superdrug, It is a cool, gel-like consistency. It reminds me of The Body Shop's Vitamin C serum, which I used to use religiously but stopped when they changed the formula a few years ago. It's oil-free, but glides over skin. It doesn't create a film like Aloe Vera, and it is moisturising enough that I don't need anything else. It's a bit like Clinique Moisture Surge as well. It also has a pleasing, slightly orange smell.
I love it. Will definitely buy again. It's worth trying it, can't say it has 'brightened' my skin as such, but it looks nice and feels nice when I use it.

Searchers trying to confirm if debris off Australia is from missing plane
MELBOURNE, Australia - by CBS News and USA Today
A Norwegian ship reached the search area in the Indian Ocean Thursday where two objects have been spotted by satellite imagery that may be debris related to the missing Malaysian airliner.
Australian authorities say the sighting is the most credible lead in the hunt for the plane that vanished nearly two weeks ago with 239 passengers and crew aboard.
The Norwegian merchant ship, St. Petersburg, was the first vessel to reach the area, the BBC reported. Ships from Australia, New Zealand and the Untied States were also en route to the area, about 1,550 southwest of Perth, Australia.
The St. Petersburg was diverted from its path at the request of Australian authorities and has spent several hours looking for signs of debris inside a designated 16-nautical-mile area, a spokesman for shipping company Hegh Autoliners told The Local, a Norwegian newspaper.
"We expect this to take a little bit of time," Haakon Svane, a spokesman for the company, said.
The objects are "of reasonable size and probably awash with water," John Young, general manager of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, said during a press conference in Canberra, Australia's capital, on Thursday.
Aircraft and ships traveled to the area to try to locate and examine the objects, one of which has a dimension of 24 meters (almost 80 feet) while the other one was smaller. A U.S. P-8 Poseidon aircraft already is on the scene, Young said.
However, limited visibility and bad weather have caused the search to be scaled back for now.
Earlier, the crew of the Poseidon told ABC News that their aircraft was getting radar hits of "significant size" in water's beneath the surface near the objects but that it was too early to tell if these hits were related to debris from the missing plane.
"This is a lead, this is probably the best lead we have right now, but we have to find them, see them, assess them," Young said of the objects.
"If there is a positive ID (of the debris) ... then (investigators) will likely study and model currents and flows in the ocean as soon as possible to find out where to look for the black boxes. Or, rather, listen for them, as they will likely still be sending out sonar signals at this point (about 30 days after an aircraft goes down)," Sidney Dekker, an expert on aviation safety, told USA TODAY in e-mailed comments.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott informed Malaysian Prime Minister
"Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified," Abbott told parliament. Two Australians were on board the missing jet.
However, Malaysia's Hishammuddin cautioned: "At this stage, Australian officials have yet to establish whether these objects are indeed related to the search for MH370." He reiterated that call for caution during his daily news conference in Kuala Lumpur.
The ASMA's Young said visibility was poor and may hamper efforts to find the objects. He said they "are relatively indistinct on the imagery but those who are experts indicate they are credible sightings." The images were taken on March 16. It is not immediately clear why they only surfaced today.
Military planes from Australia, the U.S. and New Zealand have been covering a search region over the southern Indian Ocean that was narrowed down from 232,000 square miles to 117,000 square miles.
Separate images released by Beijing last week that appeared to indicate possible plane debris over the South China Sea were subsequently ruled out.
On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in Washington that the FBI was working with Malaysian authorities. "At this point, I don't think we have any theories," he said.
More than 150 Chinese nationals were on board Flight MH370 that disappeared March 8 on a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Chinese relatives of missing passengers reacted to the development Thursday with anger at Malaysian authorities, but some still clung to hope their loved ones are alive.
"If something bad really happens, Malaysia cannot avoid its responsibility," Wang Xuhua wrote on the WeChat group set up by relatives. "They have wasted so many days, at this time things are found in unrelated waters, are they not deceiving everybody in the world?"
Lin Xi wrote: "(Maybe) our family members are safe on some island." She also said, "Go to hell Malaysia, you have wasted so many days," sentiments echoed by many other relatives on the social media network.
Some said Malaysia Airlines representatives had called them Thursday to say the objects found by Australian satellites have not yet been confirmed as belonging to Flight MH370.
While most Chinese relatives and friends have remained at a hotel in Beijing, some have flown to the Malaysian capital to be closer to developments. Their anger and frustration at lack of hard news boiled over in Kuala Lumpur Wednesday when at least three relatives were bundled away by security after trying to protest to journalists covering a daily press conference by the Malaysian authorities.
One woman from Shanghai, Wu Xia, asked others on WeChat to stay strong: "Thirteen days have passed, all kinds of news, like the debris found today, are gouging and cutting our hearts," she wrote. "Relatives and friends, let's pray together, we must keep a whole heart to face the waiting and life ahead of us."
In Putrajaya, near Kuala Lumpur, Selamat Omar, father one of the passengers, Khairul Amri, told USA TODAY that it is hard to pinpoint his feelings after hearing word of the sighting of possible airplane debris.
"I don't know what I am feeling right now," he said. "I was hoping that it was a hijack because then there will be a big hope that my son is safe. But now that hope is dashed."
He said that he is unsure whether fiinding the plane will in fact bring closure.
"I lost my son in a horrible way," he said. "It's a tragedy. I am not sure if I will overcome the grief that I feel now."
IF it is the flight, he added, " then it's fated that this is how it will be."
Omar is one of the few relatives of passengers who has defied attempts by Malaysia Airlines authorities to keep family members form speaking to reporters.

May 3rd 2014. I've had 2 mixes back from Steve and they are both sounding excellent. A few tweaks here and there and we'll be well on our way. I've been trying to find a string quartet to play a string part on one of my favourite new songs for the album, but at this stage I've not found any quartets willing to accept my offer of money. If anyone knows of any willing quartets please let me know.
I recorded some piano at Cardie's studio the other day. Was fun. It's actually for the same song as the one that needs the strings. Should be a goodun. Here's a clue of what it's about
April 08th 2014.
So it's finally beginning to be a bit more consistent with the sunshine. It was a long tough winter with a series of storms and terrible rain.
I'm at a good stage with the new album now. I'm currently sending my new songs to a producer- Steve Harding who recently produced my friend Hitch's first album- https://www.cardiemusic.com/
I think Steve will do a great job with my new collection of songs.
Feb 28th 2014.
It's early 2014. February 28th (Not a leap year this year)
Leap years are particularly significant to me, so tomorrow- March the 1st is my February 29 for this year.
It's sunny and rainy here in Southampton but promises to be a bright weekend.
So to celebrate here's my song February '29
This time last year we were in Scotland. We had the best weather in the UK and the sky was amazing.

As we all know, Deron Williams is a free agent and the Nets desperately want to keep him. Without Deron, the Nets are even worse than they were last season, when they won a third of their games. Not to mention, keeping Deron is the only way the Nets have a chance of getting Dwight Howard to agree to a trade to the Nets, the team is headed to a new city where they need a marketable star, and they have traded all of their valuable assets in an effort to keep the All-Star point guard. That's a lot of eggs in the Deron Wiliams basket, which might be headed to Dallas despite all that effort.
That's why the team is pulling out all the stops, including sending that message you see up top to Williams' house as a way to say, "Hey man, we're still thinking of you and really want you to re-sign. Like really really. Big-time. Please please please. Also, happy birthday." The family part is a nice touch, though I imagine Deron probably doesn't spend a whole bunch of time bro-ing down with Billy King and Johan Petro.
However, as The Basketball Jones has found out, that sign isn't the only one that the Nets considered. What follows are a few additional greetings that the Nets came up with during a huge brainstorming session.
As you can see, this was quite the process for the Nets. I probably would have went with the Prokhorov one, but I can see why they'd try an appeal to Deron's emotional side. Anything to nullify Dallas' hometown edge.
Who knows if this will work. At the very least, he'll have a nice backdrop for when he Instagrams a picture of all his birthday gifts. Plus, if you'd like to come up with a better idea by using this blank sign then posting a link in the comments, I'd be totally fine with that. The Nets need as much help as they can get. Have at it.

Hi all, Check out my orchard spreadsheet! I figured i needed something to keep track of all the trees I have. Now i can pinpoint the next tree by assessing the ripening times. |

Nice variety....are the dates based on your actual area or just from catalogs and such? I see you don't have any for the figs/bananas/grapes.. |
just got lazy and didn't add the figs, bananas, grape ripening times. I wanted to make sure the stone fruits bore fruit throughout the seasons. I used the growers dates from central California ( i am in southern semi-coastal), so they should be close, but at least the dates were all from one source. |

You must be talking about dave wilsons ripening chart. I used that too when I decided what fruits to plant. I'm sure they'll be a little of since it's based on their location, but the general idea knowing what is early/mid/late is really helpful. If anyone wants to see their chart I linked below... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fruit Harvest Chart
Sweet. In fact, I referenced L.E. Cook's information on a variety to variety basis. Wish i knew about that link earlier, would have made it easier. Thanks. |

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Freestyle Snowboards in stock than that.
What's in a name? If you're looking at the Signal Vita Park women's snowboard, pretty much everything. This true twin park ripper is built tough for rail setups, and hard landings on big jumps. Traditional camber gives you solid edgehold and precise landings, with plenty of control when you want to hit up the rest of the hill. Triax fiberglass and carbon stringers make it responsive, and the radial sidecut keeps things in check when you're juicing every last bit of speed so you don't knuckle step down you've been sweating. Built strong, with the shape and flex that you want for getting wild.
The Park snowboard is built on a traditional camber profile. You already know that means stomped landings, locked in lipslides, and the control that a bunch of your favorite riders rely on for getting buck in the park. The twin shape opens up unlimited switch variations. Triaxial fiberglass in the topsheet and the core work in conjunction with carbon stringers, increasing the response for a snappy ride. The freestyle friendly medium flex blends pressability with enough stiffness for solid landings. The tips are blunted, for reduced swing weight and faster spins. A sintered Durasurf base slides fast and holds a bunch of wax. Plus, like all Signal boards, it's built in the US by people who shred.

Partners forLongevity.Goodman Sanitation
Alex Mauck, a growing expert in waste water
management, finds his long-time family business playing a vital role in
environmental and community health. Most of us would prefer not to think about
sewage. Not Alex, owner of Goodman Sanitation Inc., established in 1948. Since
purchasing the family business from his father in 1995, Alex has immersed
himself in waste - sometimes literally. That's because he knows that a
functioning onsite septic system is one key to a cleaner and safer future. "What we do here is critical to the health and
environment of our community," says Alex. As our planet faces a shrinking
supply of clean water, the need for advancements in septic efficiency grows day
by day. "In my business we need to stay up with the most current technology. In
the last decade, there have been more technological changes in waste water
management than in the 30 years previous." Along with the unpredictable nature
of technology, Alex's industry is subject to a myriad of State, DEQ, and
Federal rules and regulations, leading to a shortage of qualified candidates
for employment. Alex needed a bank that could understand the
complex nature of his work and provide him with the expertise to help grow his
company. He needed a bank that took his business as seriously as he does. Lewis
& Clark Bank is able to provide Alex with the same level of individualized
service Goodman Sanitation gives to his clients. Alex knows that finances are often just as messy
as some of his job visits, and he appreciates the knowledgeable staff that
keeps him organized and informed. As a member of the Strategic Business Forum,
Alex enjoys the macroeconomic perspective he gains from the Bank's experts. "The events and forums offered by Lewis &
Clark Bank really help keep perspective - the big picture - excellent for a
business owner to guide their business." As Goodman Sanitation pursues opportunity everywhere from Clackamas to the Caribbean, Alex can chart a clear - and clean - course with a Partner for Business at his side. Big banks don't like getting their hands dirty. We do. Because sometimes the dirtiest jobs are also the most important ones. "The need for advancement... grows day by day."

Tea Tree
En Español (Spanish Version)
Melaleuca alternifolia
Principal Proposed Uses
Tinea Pedis
(Athlete's Foot)
Other Proposed Uses
Captain Cook named this tree after finding that its aromatic, resinous leaves made a satisfying substitute for proper tea. One hundred and fifty years later, an Australian government chemist named A.R. Penfold studied tea tree leaves and discovered their antiseptic properties. Tea tree oil subsequently became a standard treatment in Australia for the prevention and treatment of wound infections. During World War II, the Australian government classified tea tree oil as an essential commodity and exempted producers from military service.
However, tea tree oil fell out of favor when antibiotics became widely available.
Tea tree oil can kill many bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact.1,2,12 This makes it an antiseptic, like betadine, hydrogen peroxide, and many other essential oils. It is not an antibiotic in the common sense, because an antibiotic is absorbed throughout the body.
Preliminary double-blind studies suggest that tea tree oil might be useful for athlete's footand other fungal infections of the skin and nails.3,4,13
One double-blind study found tea tree oil helpful for acne.20
Another double-blind study found that tea tree oil gel may reduce gum inflammation in people with periodontal disease.15
A single-blind study found evidence that tea tree oil may be helpful for dandruff.14Tea tree oil plus lavender oil may also be an effective treatment for head lice.21
Tea tree oil may be as effective as standard antiseptics for removing resistant strains of staph bacteria from the skin of hospitalized patients.16-18Note: This does not mean tea tree oil is effective as an antibiotic for staph bacteria. It is an antiseptic. Antiseptics work on the surface of the body, while antibiotics work from within.
Additionally, tea tree oil has been proposed as a treatment for vaginal infections, thrush, and oral herpes(cold sores).1,6,7,12 However, there is no reliable evidence to indicate that it is effective for these purposes.
