This is a good protection for face but too heavy for summer! It doesn't leave a white cast which is positive but leaves my face greasy during the day. I think i will keep it for winter time as it is also moisturising. Ps : I have it in spf 50

I love this product!! I have it in SPF 50, but was not able to add this product and I think there is not much difference between SPF 30 or 50.
This is the first facial sunscreen that didn't give me a breakout.
I always had to choose: wrinkles of pimples. This is light, gives me a matt look en no white finish. I smells georgeous. I definately would buy this product again, in fact: I already did, scared as I was for running out of product :-)
The tube is very small, but contains 50 ml, just like an avarage moisturizer.
I also use it like a moisturizer. Ok, the matt look disappears, but I get a bit shiny anyway, nomatter what I use. A little bit of powder makes it go away for hours...
About my English, I'm from The Netherlands and Highschool was a long time ago, so sorry for the clerical errors!

I'm surprised how hydrating this is, for being a sunscreen cream. I have combination skin and I will absolutely use this as my daily moisturiser during winter. However if you use this in the summer with no makeup on, you'll se it leaves a greasy sheen all over your face which never gets fully absorbed by your skin, therefore I prefer a gel with spf in it or The Sun Mousse which blends into skin beautifully when it's hot outside.

I have bought this face sunscreen in Italy and payed 15 EUR for it, what is quite cheap. The consinstency is creamy without being greasy. It is absorbed very well, leaving a velvet skin. I use it every day like a moisturizer and at some dry, windy days I apply a serum or a pure oil underneath, but for summer the lotion alone is enough.
Actually it feels and acts like a good light moisturizer but, best of all, it contains a patented broadband filter against UVA & UVB rays, one of the best sunscreens available on the market (different types of Mexoryl), it is water and sweat proof. I have it in the SPF 30 but it is available also in SPF 15 and 50. Unfortunately it also has a good amount od Octinoxate and I don't like using it on my skin on daily base.
I can not say anything abouth the anti aging claims yet - due to the exclusive pure thermal plankton & Reverserol SV - as I'm using it since almost 2 months but I generally like producs from Biotherm. I'm going to buy also the body sunscreen and I'll use it as everyday lotion on the most exposed parts of my body .

Mark Beaumont is a BBC documentary maker, best selling author and acclaimed public speaker. He is also a Saltire Foundation alumni, who worked an internship at Liberty Mutual in Boston, whilst studying Economics and Politics at Glasgow University.
Mark became famous for his documentary 'The Man who Cycled the World,' and book by the same name, which told the story of his 18,000 mile round-the-world bike race, where he smashed the previous World Record by a staggering 82 days. Just a year later, Mark set out on his second ultra-endurance expedition, to cycle the length of the American Cordillera - the largest mountain range on the planet. As well as cycling 13,000 miles, Mark climbed the two highest peaks in North and South America. In 2008 Mark was named 'Graduate of the Year' by Glasgow University and in 2010 won the 'Top Scot' award at the prestigious Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards.
"I am passionate about developing an ambitious and entrepreneurial spirit in Scotland. I believe in following your dreams and always keeping the fire in your belly alive. Education is important, skills are essential, but it's the personal ownership of your path in life, the willingness to take risks and having confidence to stand out from the crowd that marks real success. The Saltire Foundation is a unique stage for young people to develop their ambitions with an international mindset and to become the next generation of business leaders. My internship with the Saltire Foundation was a real turning point in my life, as it gave me the confidence to take on my greatest expedition ideas."
In September 2011 Mark successfully completed a rowing expedition through the Canadian Artic with five other team members. Mark acted as the BBC cameraman as well as the oars and the group managed to reach the 1996 position of the Magnetic North Pole on Ellef Ringnes Island.
Mark's biggest adventure of 2012 nearly had tragic consequences. In January 2012 he joined a team of 6 in an attempt to break the mid Atlantic ocean rowing record. For the first 27 days the two triple scull teams rowed in two hour shifts, 24 hours a day and despite poor trade winds managed to make fast progress. The sub 30 day dream proved impossible without better weather conditions, however, breaking the World Record still looked possible. Then, at the start of day 28 disaster struck when a wave capsized Sara G and the crew faced the fight of their lives. The Nord Taipei, a Taiwanese cargo vessel managed to reach them in 14 hours and completed a dangerous night-time rescue.

A few weeks ago, listening to the news on the radio over breakfast, it was one tragic story after another, and then the newsreader added a pep to her tone with the line "...and now for some good news".
Rather than put a smile on my face, her final news snippet was the most tragic story of all, made worse because it was feted as a joyous event - Dealz, the discount retailer, had opened it's 17th outlet in the republic of Ireland. Where do I begin? This is a tragedy on so many levels, a tale without light.
Firstly I suggest that you look at their "grocery" page on their website. Jars of hot dogs, tins of "pork luncheon meat", pot noodles, chocolate and biscuits. Do we not care about what our nation is eating? Do we not care about the adverse effects on health caused by a diet of convenience food?
Next, look at the prices. Most items retail at €1.49. How will small independent retailers survive if they are loosing customers to these insanely cheap prices? And how can nutritional food be sold at such a low price? (Obviously it can't, nutrition is not for sale in Dealz).
Thirdly, look at the origin of most of the food. The milk is Bangor Maid milk from Co.Down, the meats are made by Struik Foods, a Dutch company, the sugar is made by Whitworths, a U.K. based company, all products that we produce (or produced, as the sugar beet factories have been closed in Ireland for some years) ourselves in Ireland. How do we expect our agricultural industry to grow when the opening of a retail outlet that sells mainly imported food products is hailed as a good thing?
Lastly, I refer to Dealz the great employer. Today's opening brings the number of jobs Dealz has created in Ireland to over 490. RTE journalist, Philip Boucher Hayes, in his documentary What's Ireland Eating(2011), showed that for every job created by a supermarket giant, 1.5 jobs are lost locally within 2-3 years. So you see, this is a tragic story. Dealz should not be lauded as a great employer or a positive business that will work for the good of the nation. Dealz, and the likes of Dealz, do nothing but harm everything and everyone in its path, from the customer who is now tucking into a sandwich of slice pan and tinned bacon, to the small local traders who are struggling to survive, to the nations economy.
I speak for Ireland, and the damage these discount retailers are doing to our economy, communities and health, but the same applies to all countries who allow these retailers to grow.

- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Plain City 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 Plain City 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 Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Plain City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Styling Tips
Pair this hot red dress with updated classics like a super chunky gold necklace, sky high stilettos, and a punchy red and black bag for a ladylike but ultra-sexy look. Too short for you? That's no problem: just adjust the hem length to suit your style.
This city chic look features a short little black dress punked up a bit by low cut Converse sneakers, a tribal print scarf, and an Army-green jacket. Add a little sweetness with a charming "penguins in love" tote.
Sometimes, it's all about the accessories. Pair the sassy Veronika dress in lighthearted seafoam green with a quirky straw bag (this one is vintage, from the 1950s!) and chunky statement jewelry. An updated wedge sandal from kate spade completes the look for easy, breezy summer style.

- I was a winner of the May Welcome Kit Sweepstakes, and ordered my third AbbeyPost dress-- the Veronika as shown in red.
The dress came very quickly-- I was surprised to receive it in less than a week! The red was a little pinker than it had appeared on my monitor. And it is so cute! It fits wonderfully and is really flattering. I am an "apple body" and this is a great shape for me.
I will repeat that I think it would be great for AbbeyPost to offer the option of partial or full linings for the dresses-- I would definitely pay extra for that! Thanks for a great dress! -

Wendlandt claims $100,000 victory for his second Wal-Mart FLW win
LEXINGTON, S.C. — Land O'Lakes Angler of the Year points leader, Clark Wendlandt of Cedar Park, Texas, won $100,000 Saturday in the third event of the $4.4 million 2000 Wal-Mart FLW Tour.
After three days of balmy weather on Lake Murray, a passing cold front brought cloud cover and plunged temperatures into the 30s, forcing anglers to change tactics for the final round of the $500,000 Wal-Mart FLW Tour. But Wendlandt overcame the adverse conditions, delivering a four-bass catch weighing 14 pounds, 6 ounces to capture the title. It was Wendlandt's second career tour victory.
"I really thought it would take 20 pounds to win," said Wendlandt, who fished from the EverStart boat. "I thought that I didn't have a chance. I was just fishing for fifth place and trying to make it respectable."
By winning the lucrative tournament, Wendlandt automatically qualifies for the Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship presented by CITGO Sept. 13-16, 2000, in Shreveport, La. There, he will fish against 49 of the world's top bass anglers for $250,000 – the richest first-place prize in bass fishing series history.
Second place and $35,000 went to Gary Klein of Weatherford, Texas, for a three-bass catch weighing 13-3, including one fish weighing 7-2. He fished from the Timex boat. Mickey Bruce of Buford, Ga., placed third and collected $20,000 for a five-bass catch totaling 13-1 from the Energizer boat. Koby Kreiger of Osceola, Ind., finished fourth and earned $16,000 for a three-bass stringer that weighed 9 pounds. His catch came from the Poulan/Weed Eater boat. Fifth place went to John Sappington of Wyandotte, Okla., who fished from the BFGoodrich boat and weighed in a three-bass, 7-15 catch worth $14,000.
Mickey Bruce of Buford, Ga., earned the Energizer "Keeps On Going" award for the greatest comeback during the event. Bruce fought back from 39th place after day one to make the final round.
Boasting a $4.4 million purse, the 2000 Wal-Mart FLW Tour is the most lucrative bass fishing series in history. The fourth stop on the seven-event $4.4 million tour is the $1 million Wal-Mart Open on Beaver Lake in Bentonville, Ark., April 12-15.
Evinrude Outboards presented the Lake Murray tournament, which will air May 6 on ESPN at 1 p.m. EST.

Regulars on Buffalo Rising might remember Accelerate Upstate, the 2011 economic development summit put on by the Buffalo Niagara Partnership as Governor Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Councils were being formed. Accelerate Upstate 2.0 is being held tomorrow morning at Buffalo Niagara Convention Center and will be webcast on YNN.com to allow full access to stakeholders throughout NYS.
Accelerate Upstate was conceived as a means to focus on solutions rather than problems. 300 collaborators worked to develop the Accelerate Upstate Action Agenda, which served as a starting point for the WNY Regional Economic Development Council and its Strategy for Prosperity, which brought more than $100 million in economic development funding to Buffalo Niagara and established the region as one with its economic development "act together" in the eyes of Governor Cuomo. The announcement of the Buffalo $1 Billion soon followed, and the area's economic development discussion has been significantly different ever since.
At Accelerate Upstate 2.0, the Partnership will revisit the progress of the last two years, and ask participants, 'what's working, and what's not?' Internationally-known political pollster (and Utica native) John Zogby was commissioned to poll several hundred employers from across Upstate on their perceptions of where NYS stands in 2013, and will present his findings at the conference.
Lieutenant Governor (and Rochester native) Bob Duffy will also be on hand and provide his take on the state of Upstate through an interview with YNN. James McConeghy, chief financial officer of Chenango County-headquartered and Upstate success story Chobani, Inc. will detail his organization's experiences doing business in New York State. And to keep participants thinking forward, Joan Snyder Kuhl, expert on millennials in the workplace (and NYC resident), will present on the future of Upstate's workforce.
The speakers will be interspersed with panel discussions on opportunities unique to Upstate New York:
· Accelerate Upstate Meets the Regional Councils will focus on the impact of the locally-vetted growth plans of the Regional Economic Development Councils, and see what the future holds for each REDC.
· One Day's Trip: How can Upstate take advantage of its enviable market location? Will look at Upstate's competitive advantages including freshwater, its border location, and proximity to major economic centers including Montreal, Toronto, and New York City.
Panel speakers include leaders from private companies, government agencies, the SUNY Levin and Manhattan Institutes, and the Canadian Consulate.
If you can't&nbs
p;make it to Accelerate Upstate 2.0 in person, you can still join the conversation online at YNN.com. Partnership staff will be monitoring their facebook and twitteraccounts throughout the day to accept questions and input. Be sure to use hashtag #Accelerate.

Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (STP) became the first company from mainland China to default on its bonds after failing to repay $541 million of notes due March 15, breaching terms of other outstanding loans.
The move pushes what was once the world's biggest solar panel maker into default on credit lines it has with International Finance Corp. and Chinese domestic lenders, Suntech said today in a statement from its headquarters in Wuxi. China Development Bank Corp (SDBZ). has loans to Suntech.
The move opens the way for Suntech noteholders to sue the company in the U.S., where its shares and bonds trade. Last week, Suntech obtained an agreement of holders of 63 percent of the notes to delay exercising their rights until May 15, allowing executives to press ahead with restructuring payments. Some noteholders not involved in those talks are organizing a rival group and have threatened to sue.
Suntech is seeking "a way forward that will take into account the rights and interests of all of its constituents, including shareholders, noteholders, lenders, customers, suppliers and employees," Chief Executive Officer David King said in the statement. "We are currently exploring strategic alternatives with lenders and potential investors, which could help to set us on a path towards longer term success."
Banks Advising
UBS AG is advising Suntech. Chinese solar companies are struggling after taking on debt to expand supply, leading to a glut that forced down prices and squeezed profits. LDK Solar (LDK) Co., the second-biggest solar wafer maker, in December hired Citigroup Inc. to help renegotiate its liabilities and obtain "additional flexibility" from creditors.
China has supported solar companies through credit lines from local government or state-backed agencies. solar companies. Suntech, LDK, Trina Solar Ltd (TSL)., Yingli Green Energy Holding (YGE) Co., Hanwha SolarOne Co. and Jinko Solar Holding Co. were among 12 companies that obtained more than $43.2 billion in credit pledges from China Development Bank Corp., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
LDK, which received a bailout in July for part of its debt from the local authority in Xinyu, said on Jan. 31 that it received approval for a 440 million yuan ($71 million) loan from China Development Bank. Suntech has been talking with the government of Wuxi about the possibility of financial support.
Suntech's Plan
"Suntech is also continuing its efforts to restructure and increase the cost-efficiency of its operations, maintain business relationships with its existing customers and suppliers, and seek additional sources of capital," the company said today.
The company said in a March 15 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it didn't repay the $541 million of bonds due that day. Wilmington Trust (WL), the trustee administering the Suntech bonds, sent the solar company a notice of default after the redemption deadline passed, according to a person familiar with the matter. In today's statement, Suntech said it had received the notice of default.
Suntech, the world's largest solar-panel maker as recently as 2011, posted four consecutive quarters of losses through the first quarter of 2012 and since then has failed to report quarterly earnings. Not all companies have published figures for solar company shipments in 2012.
LDK has reported six successive quarters of losses through the third quarter of 2012. Its net debt totaled almost $3.3 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It's due to give full-year earnings on April 15.
LDK said today that Liangbao Zhu, a member of the board of directors, resigned from the company effective yesterday.
Zhu, who had also served as executive vice president of the Xinyu, China-based company, stepped down "for personal reasons," LDK said today in a PR Newswire statement. The company didn't name a replacement. The resignation comes fewer than five months after LDK replaced its chief executive officer and hired five new board members.

Bill Rice grew up around the seafood industry in the Beaufort, N.C., area where he now owns the Fishtowne Seafood Center retail market. Rice's family owned a commercial fishing boat when he was younger, and the seafood business was always something he wanted to be involved in. After moving away and graduating from college, Rice had wanted to start a farmed fish operation; instead, he worked as a contract chicken producer for a large supplier for a few years.
"Large-scale agribusiness was a little overwhelming, and I have always been intrigued by wild fish, so I decided to come back to this area. We have always had an abundance of shellfish and fish here," says Rice. Soon after moving back to Beaufort with his family, Rice purchased a small wholesale seafood company. That was six years ago, and the business has since been expanded by 750 square feet to 2,000 square feet. Its customer base has also grown to include retail and wholesale customers, including around 10 regular restaurants and select retailers.
"Cutting fish is our specialty, so we needed a facility to cut the volume of fish," says Rice.
The overriding philosophy of Fishtowne is to buy local seafood, thereby supporting the fishing industry in the small towns along the North Carolina coast.
"I live in this community, and raise my family here. We have a very unique fishing community, comprised of six different communities that are built on commercial fishing. While the large-scale type of fishing is a dying industry, there are smaller operators that are making a living at it," says Rice.
Over the past 10 years, the volume of imported seafood has put pressure on the local seafood industry and driven some operators out of business, according to Rice. "I think we have seen the effect of imported seafood on our industry: It has crippled it," says Rice.
Still, during the recession Fishtowne's customers are buying more local seafood, according to Rice.
"We are in a town that has always had fishing, and people like to support it. If it weren't for local people, we would have to close our doors," says Rice. "With local, there is transparency: People know where their fish comes from, and we clean it well."
In addition, food safety concerns and health is top-of-mind at Fishtowne.
"There is a lot of collaboration from a food-safety standpoint here: the North Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Resources, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries [work with us]," says Rice.
To that end, Rice sources a wide variety of local seafood and recently got involved in the Walking Fish community supported fishery (CSF). The CSF, formed by Duke University and Carteret County fishermen, started in mid-September and runs through Dec. 10.
As part of the CSF, in which members buy shares for between $70 and $420 each, Fishtowne makes weekly deliveries of approximately 1,000 pounds of seafood from Beaufort to Durham, N.C. Other local retailers working with the CSF include Blue Ocean Market in Morehead City, Capt. Jim's Seafood also in Morehead City and Tripps Seafood in Beaufort.
Fishtowne cleans and fillets a different fish every week, then packs it in individual bags for around 400 members of the Walking Fish CSF. "I buy something different every week from various fishermen. I would like to offer shrimp or clams to go along with the fish," says Rice. Fishtowne is piloting the program with Duke University, so the market is buying the fish and making deliveries.
While the processing and bagging of fillets is time-consuming, Rice believes the CSF will be good for his business and North Carolina residents.
"It is a lot of labor, but I think it will help me sustain my business in tough economic times," says Rice.
Also, residents of Durham, who are not as close to the coast, will likely be more supportive of local fisheries and sustainable fisheries, he believes.
Fishtowne is also a member of Carteret Catch, a nonprofit organization that supports local fisheries through public marketing and education, which is raising the awareness of local fish.
While customers understand that local seafood is subject to availability, Rice's goal is to supply as wide a variety of seafood for as long as possible.
"Anything that can be caught in our area, including shrimp, oysters, crabs, shallow-water flounder and trout, we carry. In season, I also try to carry grouper, ahi, triggerfish and snapper," says Rice.
Triggerfish, which has a firm white flesh and sweet flavor, is very popular with local restaurants and residents, Rice adds.
Although Fishtowne does not make a practice of selling imported seafood, it will supply Canadian farmed salmon and king crab or snow crab upon request.
The difficulty with supplying North Carolina seafood is maintaining a variety of seafood year-round, says Rice. Still, he is able to source flounder, jumping mullets, oysters, clams and other seafood in the winter months. Shrimp is also in supply for most of the year, because three different varieties of shrimp are caught in the area.
While local and sustainable have been important buzzwords nationwide in recent years, Fishtowne is putting those concepts to work by buying from North Carolina fishermen and supplying local seafood to its community. As Rice says, the hope is that more North Carolinians will recognize the variety and quality of seafood that the state's coastline provides.

K. Oliver of the State Newspaper raves "Whether it's hard-edged, Chicago Blues with Electric Mudd, or acoustic Delta blues by himself, Liberty is one of Columbia's best blues performers."
Wade Tatangelo of the Sarasota Weekly Planet describes Liberty's style as "...fuel-injected...specializing in the kind of Blues that lights a fire under your seat."
Adam Veltre of the Sumter Scene gushes "He has toured the world playing for audiences who couldn't speak English, but understood the language of badass."
See more...
Since 1988, Liberty's scorching guitar and smoky voice have led him down 47 miles of barbed wire, treading paths first blazed by Freddy King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors, delighting fans, gaining the respect of veteran blues performers, and wowing critics.
Landing in Columbia, South Carolina in 2000, Liberty immediately blew the doors off of the local music scene and was voted "Best Local Solo Artist" in Columbia's Free Times Reader's Poll. A year later he formed the Jeff Liberty Band and was named "Best New Local Band" and "Best Local Blues Band" by Free Times readers in 2001.
Stomping through the bars, juke joints, and blues festivals throughout the Southeast, Liberty has performed with Kenny Neal, Shrimp City Slim, Juke Joint Johnny, Sonny Landreth, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, and many others.
He has shared the bill with Robert Plant, The Eagles, Aerosmith, Robin Trower, Cheap Trick, and The Marshall Tucker Band. He holds an honorary lifetime membership in The Beale Street Cadillac Blues Band in Memphis.
Liberty has taken the stage at festivals throughout South Carolina including the Columbia Blues Festival, The Lowcountry Blues Bash, the Carolina Downhome Blues Festival, The Piccolo-Spoleto Festival, the Greenwood Blues Cruise, Artisphere, as well as the Bean Blossom Blues Festival in Nashville, Indiana.
Jeff Liberty welcomes show bookings both as a solo act and with his band at bars, clubs, festivals, and special occasions.

I went out this morning after frost was gone and heard some finches along our creek so I went and filled a feeder of mixed seed for the woodpeckers etc and another for the finches. Awhile ago I was back out trimming last of my parsley and hurray! saw 2 finches eating from the feeder. So they are coming. I live in Kansas North of Kansas City. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What kind of finches? I've had Goldfinches and House finches almost all summer. House, all summer, Gold arrived mid summer. For me, the Junco's have arrived! So congratulations on your finches! |
You probably had finches all summer but all you saw when you looked were sparrows.My husband did that for years now the problem is he only sees finches and not the rest of the sparrow family. In England you know there is a shortage of house sparrows along with Chipping and other common members of the sparrow family. I had juncos in early September but they left. Not too much grass and weed seed this year do to the Very hot dry conditions. I live in Kansas City North (north of the river for those not from this area). |
I developed an interest in bird feeding this fall, and not knowing what the birds would like best, I put out a birdie buffet: niger in one feeder, shelled peanuts in another, "regular" bird seed with lots of sunflowers in a pan on the ground, a holder with seed cake, a holder with a suet cake, yet another feeder with no-waste (mostly sunflower hearts) mix. There's plenty of cover and non-feeder food in the garden as well--seeds and berries, lots of shrubs, ornamental grasses, trees, and a small above-ground pond that doesn't freeze (I keep a pump running) over completely in winter. I also don't use any pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, organic or otherwise, because I'm simply too lazy and can always find something more interesting to do in the garden, like weeding, planting, trimming, deadheading, starting new plants from seed, watering... That means lots of insect food in the warmer months. It's bird BEDLAM out there! It started with a few house finches and a couple of juncos, but they clearly told all their friends and relatives, because now there are Mourning Doves, Blue Jays, two Northern Flickers, a Downy Woodpecker, and flocks of Juncos, House Finches, Lesser Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, Chickadees (who scold me a LOT), and House Sparrows. This afternoon, it looked like something out of Hitchcock's "The Birds", with birds at all the feeders and another dozen or so waiting in the nearby Beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis). So what do I do? Go buy more feeders and more food.... |

Sounds like my house right now! Isn't it wonderful :-) Im a total bird feeder addict. Im even gardening for them now. Love the birdies. Bonnie |

review by rot
Cosmopolis 2012
rot's review:
Star Rating very, very tentative. I am not entirely sure what I think of this film as it seems almost impossible to digest in one viewing. I see a lot to like and dislike, but what shines through is the dark comedy, the wonderful play with language that is Cronenberg's script, some savvy insights into the means with which we designate meaning in life, and Pattinson owning the screen (who the hell saw that coming?). I like how very Toronto this film is, despite weakly trying to pass as New York City, and I like seeing Canadian regulars pop their heads into the limo. The initial criticism is the pacing, it has no flow, and just hangs there at times. I almost prefer to just read the script as a piece of literature than watch the movie.
8 Comments
Gah, I am/was all kinds of excited for this (still not out in Melbourne) and was looking forward to see what you amongst other Letterboxers thought of it. 3.5 although good, is lower than I was hoping.
that rating is kind of meaningless, seriously. What this reminds me most of is Waking Life, if you can take the onslaught of ideas and weird ways in which those ideas are expressed, than you will like this film.
Let me put it this way: the film does not half-ass anything. In a time when so many films are paint-by-number, and timidly following trends, this film is the alpha of self-expression, it has things to say and fuck you if you don't have the patience to hear it. That kind of audacious all or nothing is kind of exciting in its own right.
I expect the rating to keep going up the more I think about it, and on rewatch. It is just hard to digest in one sitting.
Hmmm, that does sound like my kind of movie. I love Cronenberg and always thought Pattinson was unjustly panned. I like that this sounds ambitious and audacious. Can't wait to see it now, it comes out August 30 - that's so far away.
I'm glad it's one of those films that needs time to gestate and grow, I thought it might have been one of those that gets worse the more you think about it. -
Yeah, I watched it, gave it 3 1/2 stars in my review, next morning bumped it up to four. Could not get it out of my head.
@David, just expect that for the first ten minutes or so you are going to be frazzled, the film does not hold your hand and the banter goes very fast and so you are going to be thinking what the fuck is this? You just need to decompress from expectations and go with it.
Good to know, rot. Sounds like it might be one to see a couple of times at the movies.
Rather than read the script as a piece of literature, you could always just read the novel on which it was based as a piece of literature!
True, at the time I suspected that a great deal of the script was Cronenberg, he is credited I believe, but I have since flipped through the novel and noticed large passages of dialogue verbatim the same, so I should probably just read the book.

I just acquired two columneas in 2-inch pots: one microphylla and one Broget Stavanger. The date on the labels is 3/25, which I assume means that I should repot them now. Here's my query: My house is kept very cool and will be getting cooler as the autumn progresses. The plants are under lights in my bedroom, which is the coolest place in the house but happens to be where my quarantine light stand is located. Also, frankly, I don't think I'm a very competent repotter. Will repotting them now pose a danger? Any advice is appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Columneas repot quite well. Because the plants are so small and so new I would use the following method to repot them. First take the columeas completely out of the two inch pots being very careful to preserve the root ball. Then take your new pot and put the old pot inside the new pot. Put potting soil between the old pot and new pot being sure that the new pot's lip is at the same height as the old pot's lip. When you're done you will have a mold into which you can put the old root ball. Good luck, Larry |
Dear Larry: What a great idea! Thank you so much. Doris |
And columneas like it cold - it stimulates their blooming. Guess that it simulates the change of the season for them. I. |

Jessica Moretti, Marketing Communications Manager | August 23, 2013
PITTSBURGH - A Pittsburgh-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) marketing automation startup, SnapRetail, continues to grow with the completion of the first of a two-part funding series, closing on $1.5 million. The company is seeking another $1.5M - $2M to complete the round.
The company, a web-based sales and marketing solution for independent store owners, will use the funding to grow its sales team. Since February, SnapRetail has increased this team from 3 to 12, with plans to grow to a 20 and 40 person team by the end of 2013 and 2014 respectively.
The need for a larger sales team stems from SnapRetail's expansion into vertical markets outside of gift and home décor, the company's initial target market. The company now serves the 1,000,000+ independent merchants in the English speaking world in more than 45 different vertical markets, including apparel, books, furniture, home décor, ice cream shops, floral, gift, hardware, jewelry, luggage, pharmacy, salons, scrap booking and toy. SnapRetail has experienced rapid growth and has more than doubled its subscription revenues in each of the last two years.
Local merchants use SnapRetail to plan and deliver their marketing, including email and social media campaigns. The company's unique value proposition is that it provides thousands of professionally designed and pre-written social media posts and email templates specific to the retail industry.
With a current work force of about 40 people, SnapRetail is also hiring team members outside of sales to meet the growing demand for its service. Open positions include various software engineering roles and marketing consultants who help retailers utilize SnapRetail's products to drive store traffic. Information on open positions can be found at www.snapretail.com/about/Careers.
Questions can be directed to SnapRetail's CEO, Ted Teele at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Honda Odyssey vs Dodge/Chrysler minivans
toyotaboyesl1 Posts: 38I say that the best mini-van out right now is the Toyota Sieanna. I like Japanese cars so that is probably why I am comparing it to the the MPV,the Quest, and the Oddysey. The quest is just old and out of date (it still looks like the Mercury Villager), the MPV probably has the best performance but it just seems a little small inside compared to a lot of vans, the Oddysey is ok I guess, it just looks kind of ugly and I have heard some pretty bad stuff about it. The Sieanna isn't perfect, but it still is better than most mini vans out there. It's not too expensive, it has really nice looks, performance is pretty good for a van, and has plenty of features. It is my personal favorite.
steeleng Posts: 71I predict that the future of this forum will be something like this.
"2022 Odyssey much fast very good. Better much bad 1989 DC van. Me good you bad. Me big Sequoia scare woman now all alone."
The sad part is that although I think the Odyssey is a good van I would be hesitant to ever own one just because I wouldn't want to be associated with the ody owners on these boards. The original gloating on this board was bad enough but now it has literally broken down to a comparison of manhood and mocking others. It is kind of like playing king of the mountain. The winner gets to stand all alone and look down on everybody else. Some day the king might realize that he is all alone and playing with himself. -
badgerfan Posts: 1,565Question: Why did you trade your old DC minivan into the dealer, then have them resell to your daughter and son-in-law? You should have sold it direct to them. Then negotiate like crazy for your new minivan w/o trade. I'll bet you both could have come out better cost wise.
Had you already done your deal before your daughter decided to buy your old van?
It's usually better to keep the trade-in out of any new vehicle purchase until after you've got the dealer committed to the lowest price you can get without trade. That way you can figure out what the new van costs, and also what the dealer is willing to give you on the trade, rather than combining the two issues. By the way, Edmunds has a good tool for determining ballpark used vehicle prices, either as trades, private sales or purchased from a dealer. -

Kirstie_H Posts: 10,924OK, since it's been a week, and I have no manhood to compare, I'm cracking the door open on this one. But let's keep it to a comparison of the vans' merits. If it turns into another Celebrity Death Match - Testosteronefest 2002, that's the end of this topic.

steeleng Posts: 71I actually saw a post on another forum where a Honda fan said that an Odyssey owner would never brag about whether his van could beat somebody else's vehicle from 0-60. Isn't that kind of what started this whole mess?
BTW, I am rather enjoying our 2001 DGC. It is very smooth and handles quite well for a large vehicle. I would have preferred the 3.8 engine but it is hard to find used vans with that engine. The only other thing that I wish I had is a power drivers seat. My other car has one and I quite enjoy it and would like to have it on the van as well.
whambam - Actually color selection is one of the things that I do not like about the Odyssey. Unlike most van buyers out there, white and silver just don't do it for me. Our DGC is Steel Blue and I really like that color. -
whambam Posts: 37Was it not clear that my tongue was completely protruding out the other side of my cheek? The Ody's initial color offering was ridiculous - 2 darks, a beige, and a buncha shades of gray. The worst selection in all cardom.
I wish you and some hosts would realize that not all owners are fiercely fanatic anal retentives defending to the death that they chose the right car. Most of us could care less. It's just a car.
A little life and fun in these fora would go a long way towards making them palatable while exchanging info and points-of-view.
To be forced to be dead-on-topic at all times is even more ridiculous than my precious Ody's initial color selection, which clearly sucked.
Lighten up, everybody. -
chryslervan1 Posts: 52Why did we buy our 2nd Choice in March 1999?
Why did we buy our 2nd Choice in January 2002?
Are we happy with our 2nd Choice?
YES...Both times we paid less for our nice DC minivan than the Odyssey LX would have cost.
What about less trade in?
Moot point since our 2nd daughter and her husband bought our used 1999 GC SE for the same amount we got for trade in. Salesman at each dealership was equally pleasant, decent, and trustworthy.
Odyssey advantages: Most power, most comfortable seats, Magic Seat, most cargo space with all seats in place, Flexible 2nd row seating, 5 Speed Automatic in 2002, slightly higher EPA ratings.
DC advantages: Availability, Separately controlled temperature for driver and front seat passenger, Complete Overhead console with compass/outside temperature/accurate trip computer, automatic locking door locks, more convenient dealer for oil and oil filter changes, better quality stereo....(and I can not leave out the padded armrests on the front doors).
I drive my brother-in-laws 2001 Odyssey EX frequently (as a service to them when they fly all over the country I drive it home when they leave and back to airport when they return...a WIN/WIN situation: convenience for them and an excellent opportunity for me to drive and compare the Odyssey to DC minivans).
The seats in the new 2002 Odysseys are NOT as comfortable for me as are the 1999-2001 years but I do like the 5 speed automatic in the 2002. -
pat84 Posts: 817In 99, Odyssey had 2 shades of gray. Granite Green(dark gray) and Canyon Stone Silver (light grey) I found a dealer that had bought out a previous dealer. There were 2 Odyssey's on order by the previous dealer which were coming in 2 weeks with no waiting buyers. I got the 2nd. The first was dark gray, mine was light gray. BTW at that time there was a 3-5 month wait for the Odyssey. That was over 61,000 miles ago. It still runs like new.
I owned a 96 DC van and frequently rent DC vans on business trips. They have really improved their vans, especially in fit and finish.
One problem with the Odyssey is there are few, if any, of them available for test drives.
I do believe that this forum can be mellow, non aggressive, and an assistance to those that are considering buying either minivan. I do appreciate humor, as well. Just my $ .02 -
ody01 Posts: 100No need owner get mad other owner also drive nice minivan. Odyssey good value sticker price. Chrysler now copy with "e" models no discount, fair price. Chrysler need more copy Honda: Magic Seat, large engine standard all Chrysler minivan.
Odyssey best minivan, all Odyssey standard 3.5L V6 most power, good mileage. Some Chrysler also good large 3.8L V6 some model lots power, high mileage almost same Odyssey.
Need forum Honda Odyssey vs Chrysler/Dodge vs Kia Sedona. Smaller, less expensive Sedona same size 3.5L V6 Odyssey use more fuel much less power. Sedona same size short Chrysler Voyager and Dodge Caravan. -
bdaddy Posts: 171"A little life and fun in these fora would go a long way towards making them palatable while exchanging info and points-of-view."
Agree 100% with Bigwhammy. All of my posts on the subject of the superiority of the Ody minivan were interspersed with a certain amount of self deprecating humor. I certainly do not believe that the Honda is by all means a perfect vehicle. I apologize to all of the other van owners if my humor was lost on them. ("I'm shakin the tree boss, shakin the tree").
Whammy - no need to keep an eye on me. I've certainly learned my lesson and won't stray off the topic again. ("What we have hee-ahh.....is a failya to communicate.") -
whambam Posts: 37I saw you sneaK in that self-de***cating humor comment.
You ain't foolin' me none, no sir, no how, no way!
I've decided to let you slide this time, and won't rat you out to the Hosts, all of whom snap-to immediately to ameliorate any complaint I might have.
Now then, how 'bout them Hondas? How 'bout them D/C's? -
pat84 Posts: 817Now this heah is yo Honda magic seat. Any man don't have a magic seat, spends da night in the box. Any man don't have 240 HP, spends da night in the box.
Any man doesn't have an infinity sound system, spends a night in da box. Any man doesn't have a driver's arm rest, speds da night in da box.
I think whambam can eat 8 dozen hard boiled eggs in an hour. -
steeleng Posts: 71I agree with tomtomtom that the magic seat is not nearly as useful if you carry 5 people all of the time. In both of the scenarios that you mentioned it would be impossible to fold down the magic seat therefore making it no more useful than a bench. I happen to be in the situation where I have 2 carseats strapped into the rear bench in my DGC and another in the middle row (carseats are too wide to get three into one row). If I want to take out the bench (or fold down a magic seat if I had one) I would have to remove both carseats in the first place. Yeah after that the magic seat is more useful but either way I would have to plan ahead to use that space.
bdaddy Posts: 171Yes, the magic seat is not as soft and supple (I surmise) as the DC barcolounger seat. Yes, the folding design is not of importance if you've got car seats strapped to it, or you need to transport 5. But if you've never made a midnight run back from Tiajuana, hauling in a couple of keys in the magic seat-well.....
Well, you just wouldn't understand. -
pat84 Posts: 817Nothing up my sleeves, now watch closely. My magic seat.
My 18 year old daughter sits in the first rear seat position in my Odyssey's magic seat . She stretches her feet out along side the middle seats, that I have hooked together like a single bench She has the most leg room of any one in the van. She has never complained about being uncomfortable.
However, we know all teenagers are silent as they accept life's unfair adversities.. Teenagers accept their lot without a word of complaint, much less a sarcastic comment. -
xaf Posts: 37it seems everyone knows someone who has sat on a magic seat.
I was curious have any of you done the long trip with 3 people on that "seat", 1 adult and two children.
Let's just say I was pretty numb after the long drive.
You can stick kids in a cardboard box and they will be comfortable.
Adults need a little more than "magic" -
chryslervan1 Posts: 52The one piece sliding rear bench seat of DC minivans is more comfortable for 3 than is the newer DC 50/50 split rear "fold-and-tumble" seating or the Ody Magic Seat. The Magic Seat and new DC 50/50 seats are really comfortable for only 2 adults as the side hinges of Magic Seat and middle hinges of DC 50/50 create discomfort for the person(s) sitting on top of them.
Having had both DC configurations I would prefer the Odyssey Magic Seat to either DC 3rd row seating.
The Odyssey driver's seat is much more comfortable for me than the driver's seat in either our former 1999 GC SE or current 2002 T&C eL. The 2002 Odyssey seats are NOT as comfortable for me as were the 1999-2001 Odyssey seats.
I have not sat on any of the 3 rear seats for an over an hour or two at any given time. All were comfortable for me for that length of time. -
bdaddy Posts: 171Hungarian breakfast not to my liking. Stick with Polish fare - pork tails, sour kraut, perogies and wash down with dandelion wine.
DC have triple zone AC? Just want to know from someone who has it - is it really possible to have the driver cooled/warmed to say 72 and the front passenger cooled/warmed to 78? Doesn't ambient air temp even out in an open enclosure with a volume of some 200 cubic feet?
Not to sound like a sexist...OK, to sound like a sexist - I always thought the dual front zone was a chick feature. After all, it's common knowledge that males have a much greater span in their personal comfort level with regard to the environment. My personal comfort level span ranges from 60 - 80 degrees. Within this range, I can comfortably operate with one layer of clothing and no supplemental heating or cooling. My wife's comfort span on the other hand, ranges from 72-78 degrees. Cooler than 72 and we're heating, warmer than 78 and we're cooling. Bdaddy's own extensive research on this subject confirms this is a universally accepted fact.

In her State of the State address, Governor Napolitano made two rather remarkable statements. She said, I have always presented you with a balanced budget plan that moved Arizona forward, and We have passed a balanced budget every year.
My recollection is that the fiscal 2008 budget passed in June 2007 with a wink and a nod by all parties and before summer was over it was publicly acknowledged that budgeted spending would outpace revenues. It was belatedly balanced by bonding school construction, draining the rainy day fund, and suspending a monthly payment to schools, among other gimmicks.
Chastened, many members of the legislature were determined that the fiscal 2009 budget would actually be balanced. The JLBC, with its three revenue forecasts, repeatedly estimated revenues significantly below the governors rosy prognostications. In the end, the 2009 budget was not only full of gimmicks, it flouted the states constitutional balanced budget requirement. Even on the day it was passed, no one involved can credibly claim they honestly thought this years budget would be in the black.
Some members of the legislature are considering a new requirement that the states treasurer certify whether future budgets are balanced. As a statewide elected official with a clear mandate, the treasurer could be held directly accountable for failure to call over-spending legislators to account. This is a desperately needed measure that really ought to have constitutional teeth.

How To Make a Wall Hanging
Creating a Wall of Pattern
In order to hang the fabric to create a wall of pattern, you will need:
Creating a Wall of Pattern
In order to hang the fabric to create a wall of pattern, you will need:
Artwork is a great way to add personality to a room, but deciding how and where to hang it can be stressful. Take a look at some of our tips along with photos taken straight from our spring catalog. With a little know-how, you can create a gallery in your own home in no time.
For cozy chic walls, nothing feels as good as fabric.
Covering walls with fabric adds warmth and a chic, cozy texture you can't get with paint or wallpaper. It's also great for sound dampening and covering less than perfect walls. For bedrooms, libraries and media rooms, upholstered walls feel as good as they look.
Choosing your look
A fabric-covered wall can be as temporary or permanent as you want. It all depends on the method you use for hanging your fabric. Here are three great options: Staple it, Starch it, and Drape it!
Tips for choosing fabric
Staple it
Much like upholstering a chair seat, this method uses staples to adhere fabric to the wall. This is the easiest approach for covering drywall. If you have plastered walls, you'll need to attach lath strips to the wall first, so you can staple into the softer wood. For an extra plush look, cover your wall with batting before adding the fabric.
What you'll need:
Here's how!
Step #1 – Prepare your fabric
Step #2 – Attach the fabric
Step #3 – Add your trim
Starch it
Rather than stapling, you can treat fabric like wallpaper by attaching it with liquid starch. If you choose this method, go with lighter weight fabrics like muslin or tulle. Starching is a good choice if you think you may change your mind later. Starched fabric can be removed by dampening it enough to peel off, then washing the walls with soap and water.
What you'll need:
Here's how!
Step #1 – Prepare your fabric
Step #2 – Attach your fabric
Drape it
This is the easiest, fastest way to add that upholstered look to your walls. Simply determine the square yardage you'll need, attach a decorative rod along the top of the wall and drape your fabric like a curtain.
Feeling overwhelmed?
If the idea of covering an entire wall floors you, try covering just the lower third like wainscoting. Add lath strips along the top of the baseboard and about three feet up the wall. Staple fabric to the lath and add your trim. Be sure to paint trim first.

Jerk Pork Loin
From EatingWell.com
"Jerk" isn't Jamaican for "as hot as you can stand it." Instead, a jerk paste should be a carefully blended, aromatic mélange, as much nose tickle as tongue spike. Here we use that flavorful paste on grilled pork loin. Watch out for that hot chile pepper: Wear rubber gloves to protect your skin and touch no one until you've washed up thoroughly. If you have time, marinate the pork the full 24 hours for the best flavor.

- 2 teaspoon(s) ground allspice
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground coriander
- 2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
- 1 (3-pound) center-cut pork loin, trimmed
- Puree scallions, garlic, chile pepper, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, allspice, coriander, thyme, salt, cinnamon, and pepper in a food processor.
- Pour the spice mixture into a large, sealable plastic bag. Add pork and turn the bag to coat the pork with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- About 20 minutes before you are ready to grill, preheat a gas grill (with all burners lit) to 500°F or build a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to high heat (about 500°F).
- If using a gas grill, turn off one burner (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill). If using a charcoal grill, move the coals to one side. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Place the pork on the unheated side of the grill rack. Close the lid and roast undisturbed for 45 minutes.
- Rotate the pork 180 degrees, cover and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 145°F, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Models form the basis of decisions.
Humans have for centuries been seeking proxies for real processes. A substitute that can generate reliable information about a real system and its behaviour is called a model and they form the basis for any decision. It is worth building models to aid decision making, because models make it possible to:
There are many cases in practice where it is impossible to create analytical models using classical theoretical systems analysis or common statistical methods since there is incomplete knowledge of the processes involved. Environmental, medical and socio-economic systems are but three examples. In contrast, inductive models obtained by knowledge mining are derived from real physical data and represent the relationships implicit within the system without or with only little knowledge of the physical processes or mechanisms involved.
There are a lot of complex problems, which do need decision-making, but the means - the models - for understanding, predicting, simulating, and where possible controlling such systems are simply missing increasingly, because we only have insufficient knowledge to follow theoretical modeling approaches. A more powerful and easy-to-use tool that fills this knowledge gap is inductive self-organizing modeling as implemented in Insights.
Discover new knowledge. Gain insights.
Insights (formerly KnowledgeMiner) implements a unique and original solution of multi-level self-organization to accomplish the task of modeling for various problems and purposes easily, objectively, and autonomously.
In other words, without being an expert in modeling or data mining, using Insights, from your data, you are able to build reliable, validated, not overfitted, analytical models composed of self-selected relevant input variables, automatically. This has never been easier before. Be more productive, more aware, more prepared, more informed, more competitive, and more educated by using predictive models in your problem domain. Update your models as you have new data available with the same ease-of-use and speed of model building. Read more...
Forecast complex time processes easily.
This is where Similar Patterns self-organizing modeling technology comes in. Similar Patterns - which is also known as Analog Complexing - can be seen as a sequential pattern recognition method that predicts and qualitatively explains fuzzy processes inherently. This method is based on the assumption that every most recent period of time (reference pattern) of a given multi-dimensional time process has one ore more analogous periods in history (similar patterns).
If so, a forecast of the reference pattern can be obtained by transforming the known continuations of the similar patterns in history into continuations of the present state of the process. This means the
The Similar Patterns method implemented in Insights has been enhanced by an inductive, self-organizing modeling approach and by an advanced selection procedure to make it applicable to evolutionary (non-stationary) time processes, too. Use this unique modeling technology to forecast complex and very noisy time processes such as market prices, market demand, or sales figures instantly and with almost no efforts. Optimize the similar patterns composite manually or automatically to get improved or more reasonable forecasts.
Once you have generated a Similar Patterns model you can update it on new data stored in Excel via the Autoupdate function of Insights, automatically. Run simulations on historical data continuously for backtesting your model, for example, or use it on real-time data for instant forecasting. All results are reported back and stored in Excel for further application.
