Check out Fox 13's fantastic live shot from Tuesday's friendly v. Club Tijuana that managed to capture RSL MF Luis Gil's 88th minute golazo as it happened. The shot also offers a great angle of the goal, showing how sublime Gil's touch was to set himself up for the half-volley. Watch below:
Everything you need to know about Club Tijuana ahead of tonight's friendly. Special thanks to Kim Tate for putting this together.
About the Club:
Full Name: Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente
Nicknames: Xolos, Xolos de Tijuana, Los Perros Aztecas (Aztec Dogs), Club Tijuana
Founded: January 10, 2007
Stadium: Estadio Caliente (33,333 capacity) - Tijuana, Baja California, MX
Owner: Grupo Caliente
Manager: Cesar Farias (Venezuela)
League: Liga MX
Plays two tournaments per year: Apertura (Summer-Fall) and Clausura (Winter-Spring)
Located about 10 minutes south of the USA-Mexico border, Club Tijuana is a young Liga MX club on the rise having survived three years in top flight since their promotion in 2011. Proximity to the world's busiest border gives them an edge, allowing them to market their club easily to United States soccer fans and grants more convenient access to a wide market of youth soccer talent in southern California. The Xolos currently field the most Mexican-American talent within all of Liga MX, with eight U.S. National Team players across their first team and U-20 squads -- Joe Corona, Greg Garza, Paul Arriola, Alejandro Guido, John Requejo Jr., Amando Moreno, Fernando Arce Jr., and Anthony Rodriguez.
The game against Real Salt Lake could see a mix of regular starters and younger players, as Xolos are preparing for their week five game of the Apertura against Chiapas on Friday at Estadio Caliente.
The Manager:
Head coach Cesar Farias has been with the club since early 2014, formerly managing both the first team and U-20 national team squads in Venezuela. He is the first and only manager to have led Venezuela's national team to the semifinals of Copa America in 2011, after qualifying the U-20's for the first time in history to the U-20 World Cup in 2009. He managed the national team from 2007-2013, and joined Club Tijuana this year for his first-ever managerial job in Mexico.
The Team:
The most familiar to RSL fans is Corona, who has played with Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman on the U.S. Men's National Team. Corona scored Tijuana's important first goal in top flight and has continued to be an integral part of the Xolos midfield since before the team was promoted.
Tijuana's number one in goal is Cirilo Saucedo, who has been with the team since 2011 and has one cap for Mexico. His mother is a United States citizen and at one point the U.S. had been in touch with his agent about playing for the Americans. When Saucedo isn't starting, Xolos use their backup, Gibran Lajud, and also recently acquired Dilan Nicoletti, who won the U-17 World Cup with Mexico in 2011.
Tijuana's back line typically plays with a flat back four, and consists of Garza on the left, Argentine center backs Hernan Pellerano and Javier Gandolfi beside each other, and Isreal Jimenez on the right. Gandolfi wears the captain's armband for Xolos and Jimenez won an Olympic Gold medal with Mexico in the 2012 Olympics. Alternately, Farias could use a combination of players including Elio Castro, Alejando Molina, Juan Carlos Nunez, and Oliver Ortiz. Also, Requejo Jr. could come off the bench as an attacking sub if he travels with the team. The 18-year-old from California committed to UCLA before signing with Xolos in May, and is a very attack-minded left back player, similar to U.S. and former Xolos player Edgar Castillo.
Xolos have a lot of depth in midfield with Corona, having been around the longest, and he varies in starting and coming off the bench. Cristian Pellerano (older brother to Hernan) was the team's leading goal scorer in the 2014 Clausura with seven goals, and plays centrally -- usually between Richard Ruiz and Juan Arango. Ruiz is fast and technical and 34-year-old Arango played under Farias with Venezuela. Others who could likely see time at Rio Tinto Stadium are youngsters Edgar Villegas, Javier Salas, Arce Jr., and Guido. Javier Guemez is an undisputed starter for the first team in league play as a defensive midfielder, but it's uncertain whether Farias will rest him, among others, ahead of their game on Friday.
Up top, Xolos rely on Argentine-Italian Dario Benedetto, who was second in goal scoring last tournament with six goals. With the game coming up on Friday, however, Farias could elect to start Arriola in an attacking role with either Daryo or Alfredo Moreno - two players who made their returns to the club after stints elsewhere. Dayro is Colombian and Alfredo, a Mexican citizen, goes by the nickname "Chango." Another option up top as a starter is newcomer Henry Martin, who has two first team starts for the club already and scored a goal in Cup play for Xolos in Copa MX.
In what looks to be a decent MLS-Liga MX matchup, U.S. teammates will face each other and even Carlos Salcedo will go up against some familiar players from his days with Mexico's U-21's. The real battle could be in midfield, with Beckerman and Pellerano up against each other assuming Pellerano sees time. Corona, Ruiz, Villeagas, and Arango can cover a lot of space so either combination of players will contribute to the fast-paced aspect of this game. And in goal, Rimando and Saucedo are both excellent 'keepers -- it would be interesting to see how many saves each is forced to make with both sides possessing equal levels of talent in their attack.
When D.C. United comes to town on Saturday, Real Salt Lake fans will still have a bitter taste in their mouths from the last time the two sides met almost a year ago in the U.S. Open Cup Final on Oct. 1, 2013 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Everything seemed set in place for the Claret-and-Cobalt to win its first piece of hardware of the year and a ticket back into CONCACAF Champions League – home field advantage, a match against the worst team in the league. But things did not go as planned with D.C. midfielder Lewis Neal scoring the game's only goal in the 45th minute. RSL controlled the run of play, but couldn't turn its possession into a goal, hitting the woodwork twice to drop the club's first Open Cup Final.
Saturday's matchup will feature a very different D.C. United, as the club has rebounded from last year's record low finish of 3-24-7. The revitalized club features new additions, including USMNT forward Eddie Johnson and former RSL striker Fabian Espindola, that have helped the club exceed expectations this year. D.C. United currently sits second in the Eastern Conference with an 11-6-4 record and total of 37 points.
The memory of watching D.C. lift the trophy at Rio Tinto Stadium will be a hard one to forget. Let's hope the Claret-and-Cobalt can make it a bit easier with a resounding win on Saturday.
Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando made history last Saturday, earning his 112th career clean sheet in the Claret-and-Cobalt's 1-0 win at Colorado Rapids. Rimando is now tied for the MLS all-time shutout record with retired goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. Check out MLSsoccer.com's highlight video showcasing some of the top moments from Rimando's 14 years in MLS.
Rimando will have the opportunity to break the shutout record this weekend, when RSL hosts D.C. United at 8:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Real Salt Lake head coach Jeff Cassar had a pretty emotional, and yet refined, celebration after forward Joao Plata scored the go-ahead goal in RSL's 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls on Wednesday. MLS kindly put it into GIF format and put it up on their site and it has since been making the internet rounds. Check out the awesome moment below.
Let's hope there will be more of those on Saturday when RSL heads to Colorado to take on the Rapids at 7:00 p.m. MT on ABC 4.
Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids will continue their quest for the 2014 Rocky Mountain Cup on Saturday, with the Claret-and-Cobalt heading to Colorado to face the Rapids at 7:00 p.m. MT at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Here are a few storylines to watch ahead of the match:
RSL looks to recapture Rocky Mountain Cup on Saturday
Real Salt Lake can recapture the Rocky Mountain Cup with a victory on Saturday after the Claret-and-Cobalt defeated Colorado in their first meeting this year, topping the Rapids 2-1 on May 17 at Rio Tinto Stadium. A win at Dick's Sporting Goods Park will secure the trophy for the seventh time in Real Salt Lake history. RSL lost the RMC last year for the first time since 2006, going 0-1-2 against the Rapids in 2013.
First Colorado meeting of 2014 for Beckerman and Rimando
Saturday's match will be RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman and goalkeeper Nick Rimando's first encounter with Colorado this year. The U.S. internationals missed the clubs' first clash after departing for pre-World Cup training camp in May. Saturday's match in Colorado will be the U.S. duo's sixth-straight match back with the Claret-and-Cobalt after returning from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
This weekend's match will also be the first time Beckerman will face former teammate Pablo Mastroeni as Colorado's head coach. Beckerman and Mastoeini were teammates at Colorado, where the RSL Captain spent five and a half years from 2002-07 before joining the Claret-and-Cobalt. Mastroeni was given the top job at Colorado in March of 2014.
Saturday will also (again) provide RSL's longest-tenured player, Rimando with the opportunity to tie the all-time MLS shutout record. The 35-year-old goalkeeper has 111 shutouts, one clean sheet shy of retired goalkeeper Kevin Hartman who holds the record at 112.
RSL looking for first win in Colorado since 2007
Real Salt Lake will be looking to earn its first win in Colorado since 2007 on Saturday night. The Claret-and-Cobalt's last victory in the Centennial State came on Oct. 20, 2007, when forward Robbie Findley scored a late game-winner to give RSL its first Rocky Mountain Cup and keep the Rapids out of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Since then RSL has gone 0-4-4 in Colorado during the regular season.

Each year at Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, I get to see the best of what slot machine manufacturers have to offer: the bonus events. Games are set up so potential buyers and inquiring columnists can see the most entertaining bits without spending time spinning the reels. It doesn't exactly mirror the everyday slot experience, but it's a fun way to preview a whole lot of games in a short time.
Bally Technologies showed a couple of licensed-theme games that will have players savoring the bonuses. Pawn Stars, based on the History Channel reality TV hit and featuring video of the stars, has multiple bonus events, including a wheel spin that shows just what event you're going to play.
I was taken to Rick's Bonus, where it was time to negotiate a price. The player chooses an item to sell, touching one of several on the screen. I was pitching my old bicycle, and Rick was making offers. Should I accept, or turn it down? After some give and take, Rick made his final offer and offered to call in an expert.
Should I take the money, or take a chance and call in the expert, who might award a bigger bonus? I called for the expert, who informed us my classic bike was a phony. There went my bonus.
It was fun to play, and so was NASCAR. It features images of cars and drivers — referring to both by the numbers, something NASCAR fans will relate to. With any of the numbered cars, you can touch the screen to get a photo and bio of the driver. And at bonus time, you're in the driver's seat, trying to accelerate and pass other drivers to collect a bigger prize. Regardless of whether you're a NASCAR fan, you'll feel the need for speed.
Spielo International always has some fun takes on the slots, and I laughed my way through Plants vs. Zombies. There's a three-level progressive jackpot, and a bonus event that lines up plants at one end of the graveyard and zombies at the other. Can the zombies make it past the plants? It depends on which defenses come up randomly for the given round.
And speaking of fun on slots, I laughed out loud during Aruze Gaming's Knight of La Mancha. Don Quixote went tilting at windmills … and the windmill crumpled to the ground, stones, mortar and all. Sancho Panza jumped in triumph. Is the windmill supposed to lose?

Hi all...new to the mini forum! Live in Ky and last year I planted Maya..three in between my Evelyn and Iceburg. They already have green leaves and look good so far. I chose these because one of my grandchildren is named Maya. I have been trying to find one named Madeline and found a few but would appreciate any advice on where to order. One grandaughter is named Evelyn(Evie) and am wondering if I should place a small trellis on each mini..or should I just leave them alone. Also, the flower bed needs new weed protective matting and I'm not sure if that will in anyway harm the roses planted there. If I am careful around the bases will that be okay? I really have no choice as the weed killers fail to do the job usually. It isn't a large bed and is beside the front porch. New at most of this and just started planting about 2 summers ago. So far my Austins are doing great! At present there is mulch around each bush.Do I wait to fertilize until after the first flush? I'm interested in finding an Alexander also(grandson) but do not think there are any in the mini roses. Any advice on companion flowers around these roses would be appreciated also. Last year I planted a bluish purple bush..2 of them and now I can't remember the name of it but saw it on the rose forum as being a great bush for a companion to roses. It grows along the ground and blooms constantly..however..quite small so far. Thanks so much! |

Lara is covered in blood. More specifically - she's caked in brain-matter, blood and dirt. She's kneeling next to the man she shot in the face, clutching a handgun, watching him gurgle out his dying breaths. And when the shock wears off, Lara begins to sob uncontrollably as she contemplates her very first human kill.
It's here we realise that Lara hasn't just killed a virtual character (the one responsible for triggering the recent 'Tomb Raider rape' media-frenzy, by the way); she's hammered the final nail into the coffin of Core's original Tomb Raider series. She may be younger herself, but this franchise has definitely grown up from the pervy 'triangle-tits' platformer we first saw in 1996. And if you're wondering, that's definitely a good thing.
Crystal Dynamic's new Lara is the video game equivalent of Daniel Craig's James Bond. She's physically tougher, but emotionally raw, and all the better for it. During our hands on we see her gradually broken down from enthusiastic youngster to confirmed killer.
"She's in a situation which is totally uncommon to her and she's been thrown around," says Tomb Raider global brand director Karl Stuart. "She's 21, she's naïve, she's never been in this adventure before and never had these experiences before. She's got to start at zero to get to hero, that's always been the case, that's been the first two hours seeing how she's going through this and coming out the other side as a much stronger person".
At the start it all feels very Uncharted. Lara leaps crevices, traverses a fallen log, and climbs a crashed plane as it breaks up and tumbles into a ravine. We're in control, but it's all very scripted - there's rarely a moment when we feel in genuine peril. She skirts the edge of a cliff and looks out to see, showing a bay littered with ship-wrecks dating back several centuries.
This island is definitely not a fisherman's friend. She shelters under an overhang in the cliff, and after setting up a basecamp, and warming herself by a fire (which she lights with 'the last match in the packet' of course), Lara is forced to hunt for food.
Oh deer
Climbing down into one of the game's hub areas, she pulls a bow and arrows off a dead-man, and sets to work bothering the local fauna. We can't help teasing Stewart about how 'on-trend' Tomb Raider is, with seemingly every modern game now including a bow.
"There is an element of coincidence purely in the sense of what we're developing," he replies. "We started this in 2008. At that time we went through so many pieces of equipment and it felt sexy. It felt cool. If you're on an island and you've got nothing you can get a bow. And all of a sudden bows are everywhere..."
Meanwhile, in our demo, a delicious-looking deer makes efforts to scamper away, but we shoot it down with a couple of well-aimed arrow shots. It's still alive when we approach it, wheezing for life, and Lara is forced to finish it before skinning the beast with the blade one of her arrows. We won't lie - we genuinely felt remorse for killing the deer, and we skinned New Mexico bare in Red Dead Redemption.
We distract ourselves from our remorse by searching for hidden diaries and shooting native dreamcatchers out of trees inside this small hub area. As you do, when you're marooned on an uncharted island, with no food, and all your friends are hostages. Speaking of which, now fed and watered we decide to take Lara into the next area of the game.
That means entering a creepy old house on the edge of the hub area, and descending a set of metal stairs into the bowels of the island. All around us there are markings - symbols left there by previous inhabitants. Maybe they're the ones who hung up all the dreamcatchers.

« August 2010 Table of Contents
When daytime television host Dr. Mehmet Oz took on the subject of methylmercury in seafood in an episode of "The Dr. Oz Show" that originally aired in late January, it grabbed the attention of seafood buyers and sellers. The National Fisheries Institute publicly criticized the segment for multiple inaccuracies, and challenged the show's broad claims that mercury in fish was a serious concern for the general population.
And it's just recently that the six-year-old joint seafood advisory has come under increased scrutiny. Critics say the seafood-consumption message has been muddled by consumers and media reports to include people beyond its intended demographic. As a result, people outside the at-risk group have embraced the health advisory as their own, and have incorrectly applied the mercury-consumption message outside the four species singled out in the original Food and Drug Administration/Environmental Protection Agency advisory. They say that misinformation means too many consumers, including pregnant women, are not getting the health benefits seafood consumption provides.
While the U.S. Department of Agriculture dietary guidelines are updated every five years, industry experts say they're at a standstill waiting for the federal government to reassess the science when it comes to seafood consumption.
"The science is clear: The benefits are overwhelming in terms of eating fish, and there's a real need for clarification and encouragement from the government," says NFI's registered dietitian Jennifer McGuire. "The truth of the matter is, the advice about eating fish is very simple and very straightforward. For the general population, there are no commercial fish to avoid. We need to be clear with consumers. When you don't eat fish, heart disease and brain development risks are introduced."
It's an issue the FDA is still examining.
In January 2009, the FDA published a risk-and-benefit assessment of fish con sumption, focusing on fetal neurodevelopmental effects, coronary heart disease and stroke. The draft report was open for public comment, but remains under review more than 18 months later.
It's that lengthy review period that has scientists like J. Thomas Brenna, professor of human nutrition at Cornell University, worried that the report has been pocket-vetoed by the FDA. That concern prompted him to publish an open letter in late May, co-signed by professor Michael Crawford of London Metropolitan University, urging the FDA to move forward with the report.
"The core problem is that the benefits of fish could not be appropriately considered in 2004. Current science has advanced to the point where it is no longer consistent with the recommendation to limit consumption of all fish to a maximum of 12 ounces per week for pregnant and lactating women and women who may become pregnant," they wrote in the open letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
It's the very consequences of inadequate fish consumption that could be significant, says Brenna. Both Brenna and Crawford last month joined 125 scientists and nutritionists from around the world in a petition that calls upon the FDA to update its current seafood-consumption advisory.
Their concerns are echoed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, which published a joint report in May urging governments worldwide to do a better job conveying the benefits of eating seafood. Benefits include a reduction in risk of death from heart disease, and increased neurodevelopment in infants whose mothers consume fish, according to the WHO and FAO report.
The joint report was swiftly followed by findings of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in June, whose recommendations impact the USDA's food pyramid. The committee report confirms that Americans aren't eating enough seafood, and says that consumption of two 4-ounce servings of seafood a week is associated with reduced cardiac mortality, and that increased consumption during pregnancy and lactation raises important omega-3 fatty acid levels, which can improve infant brain development.
"The health benefits from consuming a variety of cooked seafood outweigh the risks associated with exposure to methylmercury and persistent organic pollutants, provided that the types and sources of seafood to be avoided by some consumers are clearly communicated to consumers," says the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report.
When the FDA will come out with its final risk-and-benefit report is unclear. Sebastian Cianci, a spokesperson for the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, says the organization is still in the process of revising the risk-and-benefit assessment.
"We're doing a very different kind of assessment than we did before when we were strictly looking at risk. We're looking at the benefits of consuming seafood. There's a net effect - risk and benefit. Historically, we focused a lot on risk. What we're doing now is looking at the benefits in there as well," says Cianci. "We've been very diligent. It can take many years. This is a very large document, and we're trying to be very thorough."
But don't expect the report to change the joint FDA/EPA consumer advisory on methylmercury and fish consumption, he warns.
"This report is looking at a lot of new research that has come out since the 2004 advisory. This is not proposing we revise the advisory. It's a stand-alone document. The FDA is conducting the risk-and-benefit assessment to better understand the health net effects of consuming commercial fish for health endpoints for which mercury is a potential risk factor," he says.
Gavin Gibbons, NFI spokesperson, says the rough-draft report was a good starting point.
"On the one side, you have the WHO saying, 'Hey governments, do a better job communicating.' And on the other side, you do have an FDA report that does do a good job communicating, but it's stuck in regulatory limbo," he says. " When you have a petition started by Dr. Brenna, the Dietary Guidelines Steering Committee talking about fish and seafood, and the WHO and UN talking about fish and health, there's an opportunity to have the best, most recent science coming together in front of consumers."
But while those in the industry wait for FDA action, understanding the public health effects of mercury continues to be a hot topic in the press, ranging from reports on methylmercury levels in restaurant and supermarket sushi to actor Jeremy Piven's 2008 "sushi-gate." The NFI and FDA agree, there have been no documented cases of mercury poisoning as the result of the normal consumption of commercial seafood in the United States, although cases of mercury toxicity from fish consumption are less clear.
In May, Richard Gelfond, CEO and director of IMAX Corp., established a fund for Mercury Related Research and Outreach with a $1 million gift to Stony Brook University, after the executive was diagnosed with high mercury levels.
Dr. Nicholas Fisher, distinguished professor in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) and director of the Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research (CIDER) at Stony Brook University, says mercury toxicity when blood mercury levels are very high can in some cases lead to symptoms like lack of coordination, tingling or burning sensation in feet, impaired thinking abil ity, memory loss and more.
"Some [symptoms] are very vague. It's hard to nail that down to mercury, but there's no question that some individuals who eat a lot of fish, especially the wrong kind of fish, have higher mercury levels in their blood stream. At what concentration are people affected varies between individuals and their general health, genetic susceptibility, etc.," says Fisher.
"Yes, seafood is good for you, but some seafood comes with risk. Generally speaking, mercury is one of the most worrisome contaminants in the ecosystem," continues Fisher. "There is very solid evidence that mercury is almost unique among all the metals. It displays pronounced food-chain biomagnification. The higher in the food chain you go, the more enriched is the mercury in the tissue."
Tim Fitzgerald, spokesman for the Environmental Defense Fund, which provides health-advisory information to groups like Seafood Watch, Blue Ocean Institute and FishWise, says while the 2004 FDA/EPA seafood advisory isn't perfect, scrapping it in favor of something that says "eat more fish" isn't in the public's best interest either.
"In the case of NFI, they have an interest in maintaining the image that their products are safe and people should eat them, and I don't fault them for that. But when there's evidence of a public health risk, the academic and public health community should share that information. There are a lot of low-contaminant, healthy, sustainable fish. Health and sustainability go hand-in-hand. That's what we want people to buy, eat and enjoy. It doesn't have to be one or the other," says Fitzgerald.
Dr. Michael Gochfeld, professor of Environmental Toxicology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, shares a similar view.
"I think the FDA's message for people who eat fish once a month or less - that eating more fish is probably a good idea. However, for people who already eat fish several times a week, that's the group at risk for taking in too much mercury, and needs to watch which kinds of fish to eat. The more fish you eat, the more attention you have to pay to the low-mercury fish like sardines or salmon," says Gochfeld.
But establishing a marketing plan purely around a future FDA report is probably unlikely for most purveyors, though consuming more fish is on the radar for seafood sellers like Michael Dulock, managing partner at processor and retailer Concord Prime & Fish in Concord, Mass.
"To say that people are concerned about the biomagnification of mercury in our seafood would be putting it lightly. As a retailer, the onus falls on me to help guide consumers, to steer them toward healthful choices," says Dulock.
The challenge remains for seafood buyers and sellers to continue answering consumer questions about seafood, while at the same time not overwhelming them.
"The bigger problem here is that the message is forever changing; think margarine-butter or any other radical recommendation change we have seen in our lifetime. I do think that there should be some guideline for consumers, something that warns about the effects without scaring them away from seafood altogether," says Dulock.

Doctor In Your House: May I remind you about your memory?

Are you experiencing a change in your memory? Don't worry too much; most of the time, it is benign and simply a matter of aging. In fact, most people with serious memory problems do not have the capacity to realize that a problem exists. In other words, the patient is not self aware of a memory disturbance. However, frequent memory issues should be evaluated by your doctor and include a thorough patient history and neurological exam. A blood test including thyroid, kidney, liver, B12 and syphilis testing should be completed. An MRI of the brain is often indicated to rule out a stroke, tumor and normal pressure hydrocephalus (Water on the brain which causes memory issues along with balance and urinary incontinence issues). Depression, infection, sleep apnea and certain medicines can also cause reversible memory problems. Alzheimer's causes 80 percent of dementia or mental decline due to scar tissue or neurofibrillary tangles that form inside the brain cells and amyloidal plaque that forms outside of brain cells.
Alzheimer's involves memory difficulties, visual-spatial issues, errors in judgment, problems with decision-making, language errors and trouble with attention and concentration. The major problem with Alzheimer's isn't memory but rather the troublesome behavior that includes wandering, hallucinations and agitation. Caretakers of demented patients are at higher risk of illness due to the stressful nature of this disease.
Examples of benign memory loss may include:
Forgetting where you put your keys
Searching for casual names and words
Briefly forgetting conversation details
Can't remember a recipe
Forgetting to sign a check
Cancel a date with friends
Miss an occasional right turn
Examples of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) that often progresses to Alzheimer's:
May place important items in odd places
Forgetting names of family and friends
May forget entire conversations
Difficulty following recipe directions
Difficulty managing checkbook
Partial or complete withdraw from usual interests
Frequently becoming lost in familiar places
By utilizing the mini mental status exam (MMSE) along with a clock-drawing test, your physician can screen for memory deficits in about five minutes. Advanced neuropsychological testing can be done in cases that are more difficult.
What can be done about memory problems? Thyroid disease, B12 deficiency, infectious problems, kidney disease, liver disease, sleep apnea, excessive alcohol consumption, depression and medication issues must be treated. Medications that may decrease cognitive capacity include narcotics, Tramadol, beta-blockers, muscle relaxants and drugs for urinary incontinence.
No proven treatment exists for benign memory changes and MCI. However, some data supports the following interventions:
1) Keep active and exercise regularly. A New England Journal of Medicine article cited dancing as the most beneficial for memory. A two-decade long Mayo Clinic study showed crossword puzzles, reading and playing a musical instrument were also beneficial. Physical exercise, except for dancing, didn't do much, but other articles support physical exercise.
2) Consider a Mediterranean Diet. A great deal of scientific literature validated the Mediterranean diet as a central treatment for those concerned with cardiovascular health, cognitive health, and longevity. The brain also consists of 90 percent fat. An abundance of scientific literature concedes that adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with better cognitive performance in a variety of cultures. Perhaps the healthy Omega-3 fat is playing a role. In 1,393 individuals participating in a prospective study with follow up of 4.5 years, greater Mediterranean diet adherence was shown to reduce the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment by 28 percent compared to not adhering well to the diet. Additionally, in those who consistently consumed a Mediterranean diet, and did develop mild cognitive impairment, the risk of progressing to Alzheimer's disease was reduced by 48 percent relative to subjects whose diet deviated from the Mediterranean lifestyle.
3) Stave off dementia by learning Spanish. A new study, published in the Medical Journal of Neurology, found that signs of dementia appeared four years later in bilingual people than people who only speak one language. Scientists believe part of the reason is that learning another language increases the brain's cognitive reserve. Cognitive reserve is a term used to refer to the brain's ability to function properly despite damage such as the damage seen in dementia patients.
4) Caloric restriction may improve memory by increasing a brain-derived neurotrophic factor that stimulates brain cell growth.
5) Two recent studies may have allayed concerns about cognitive decline being a possible adverse effect of statin drugs. Both studies suggest that statin drugs may instead be linked to lower rates of dementia in older people. The first study of 58,000 patients showed a dose-related inverse relationship between statin use and new-onset nonvascular mental decline. The second report, in 5,221 patients with atrial fibrillation, found a lower incidence of dementia in patients taking statin medications compared with those not taking statins.
Doctor's Summary: Memory loss is very common in middle age and in the elderly. Most memory impairment is benign but reversible causes should be evaluated by a physician if memory problems progress. Simple interventions can help slow progression.

I attached some air plants to an old birdcage, I used little dragonfly hairclips to attach them. For some reason, it will only post this picture sideways! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I really like the idea, looks cool! |
Love it! We have quite a few cages hanging around the yard with everything from orchids to succulents. Looks great! If you put a coco fiber in the bottom you can plant. Crab traps and fish baskets add a bit of variety! |

Now, if that were a Bird of Paradise in the pot... Granted, I think a Bird of Paradise would get too big for that cage, but still... A very interesting and creative look though. If I ever have a spare bird cage laying around, not likely, I might have to do something like this. Kudos. |

Thanks for editing. We just got a new computer, I was having technical difficulties. I was inspired by reading about the lobster traps-for sure. |

I have a pot with 3 pygmy date palms. I want to seperate them so that I can keep them as single trunk specimens. How should I seperate them without causing so much damage so I can keep them like that? Thanks in advanced. |

If it was me, and I do plan on doing this to another palm I have that has 3 plants, I would take the plant out of the pot and place it in a huge tub of water to remove the dirt and loosen the roots. The trick is to try not to break or damage the roots. I know some plants are more sensitive than others, but you might try to move the plants around teasing each one out from the other. It will be a slow process but I think it would work nicely reduce the damage that causes a lot of the problems. Many palms will grow new root systems before continuing to grow if the roots are damage. Be careful. |
- Posted by Leekle2ManE Lady Lake, FL 9a (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 15:56
I think pygmy dates are pretty tough to kill by separating. After asking a similar question, I decided to go out and 'rip' out some very small pygmy shoots from the clusters I had planted in my yard. I had fully expected to kill the small things in the process of pulling them from the ground. As a result, I now have 5 young pygmy dates potted and growing. I imagine if yours are still in a pot, that if you remove the soil, it will be quite easy to separate them. |
I'd wait until the start of summer. nothing jump starts growth and rooting like heat. |

This value-packed collection includes five of the tried and true hybrid Daylilies. Each is different and will add a different color to your garden. They're all selections that will give you vigorous growth this year and many more to come. Plants are shipped bareroot, carefully packed with planting instructions.
About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just can't get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

Most of the daylilies that I ordered did not grow.
Product Was Intertwined
By Lovely
from Voorheesville, NY
Unfortunately, these came all jumbled and was difficult to separate. As a result, I only came out with 3 out of 5 and so far, 1 bloomed and not that well. I would not recommend.

By Moo's Mom Marsha
from Hingham, MA
It's a little disappointing that none of the day lilies show stalks/buds and it's nearly July.Perhaps I'll have to wait until next year for them to actually bloom. Since I purchased a mix, I can hardly wait to see what I bought!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rhett!
Facts about Rhett
- Breed: Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rhett's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Okay, I have spent a lot of time with Rhett and this dog is WONDERFUL !!! He is calm and just wants to rub up against you and love you !! He is amazing. I just can't say enough wonderful things about Rhett. He is quiet, he is loving and now that he is thru his Heartworm treatment he is ready to run and play. He really needs a family !!
This is a perfect dog, he rarely barks, he is sensitive and highly trainable, he is about 2-3 yrs old and deserves a great home . He is only 70 lbs and just so loving !!
Here is the original story of Rhett when I picked him up......
I picked Rhett up from the Brazoria Co Sheriff's Dept this morning at 7:30. I had to wait outside because they were putting down the Monday morning euthanasia list. Rhett was originally on that list. We thank the volunteers that post these guys everyday since rescue is their only way out. Rhett is a Mastiff Mix, he is only 72 lbs and short. . He is at Stafford Oaks Vet Hospital right now being neutered and getting HW tested and UTD on shots. We found out today he is High HW positive and he will begin treatment in the next 2 weeks after his neuter is healed. Rhett bears the scars of having lived a rough life on the streets, he has scars on his face and head and a sad look in his eyes our vet believes he had been abused , which I cannot bear to think about....you see, Rhett is a LOVER to his bones !!! He is so sweet, good with cats and kids and right now REALLY wants his HW treatment to be over so he can run and play. Rhett is very calm and is ready for a family that will love him and keep him safe. Please call if you are interested in meeting Rhett or have any questions or would like to donate to his treatment. 832-243-6090

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rhett, a Missouri City Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback for sale in Missouri City, or seeking a Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback dog from a breeder in Missouri City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback breeders who help with Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Missouri City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Air and ground resources are being pulled off the Pony Fire due to dangerous winds and intensified fire behavior, according to inciweb.org.
At around 1 p.m. the area of the Pony down to the Judson Mead Indiana University Research Station at the junction of South Boulder and Carmichael roads was evacuated.
The fire has grown to about 500 acres.
The local fire incident command team will shortly be transitioning from Type 3 (Agner) to a Type 2 (Kusico) National Incident Command Team for the Pony-Antelope complex of fires.
There is no word at this time on how many people are being evacuated, but they are being sent to an ambulance barn in Whitehall, officials said.

Global Economic Reports
Agritech Business Barometer Survey
The Economic Committee has created this powerful tool for obtaining accurate, timely feedback on global market trends. By means of a comprehensive online questionnaire, Agrievolution Alliance Economic Committee member associations ask their agricultural equipment manufacturing representatives (senior management level) about their current business situation and their outlook for their respective markets. The survey is conducted twice a year (in April and October). Participants are provided an exclusive report, and a public report is made available here on the Agrievolution website.
October 2014 Agritech Business Barometer
The global business climate for agricultural machinery has weakened. The manufacturers of tractors and agricultural machines are less satisfied with their current business situation than in the past four years. Per the Barometer, only 18% of companies surveyed described their business situation to be "good" or "very good".
April 2014 Agritech Business Barometer
While the worldwide outlook for 2014 agricultural machinery markets remains positive overall, manufacturers foresee challenges to maintaining the high production levels of 2013.
Highlights of Global Tractor Market Report
The Global Tractor Market Report gathers statistics directly from tractor manufacturers on monthly and yearly units of tractors sold in major markets worldwide over a span of several years. Observations by the Agrievolution Economic Committee are provided. The full report is available to Alliance members only, but highlights may be found here.
October 2013 Public Agritech Business Barometer
In general, the perspectives on the agricultural machinery markets remain positive. Sales went up during the past three months in most markets compared to a rather flat development during the first half of this year. On a global average, 45 percent of the manufacturers expect further growth of their turnover for the coming six months, while 37 percent anticipate their turnover to remain on the current level and only 18 percent expect decreasing sales. According to the survey, above average growth will occur in China, Brazil and Turkey for the next months, based on a higher order stock level.
April 2013 Public Agritech Business Barometer
New Agritech Business Barometer results illustrate global optimism
The manufacturers of agricultural machinery are very satisfied and optimistic about near-term expectations in most parts of the world. This is the general result of the 7th survey among industry representatives, executed during the month of April 2013.
The global business climate index rose by 10 points, reaching 29 on a scale of -100 to +100. While the current business evaluation remained "good" as in the previous survey, expectations for turnover in the next half year went up considerably. For the first time in this survey, the majority of Japanese manufacturers have a positive outlook on the market situation. The boom in the Indian and Brazilian markets was confirmed. Also, one out of two companies in the US expects to see sales growth in the next six months, while the rest expect to at least maintain the high level reached in 2012. More cautious voices come from Europe, where some markets are declining.
October 2012 Public Agritech Business Barometer
Overall optimistic evaluation of the ag machinery markets
The global business climate for the agricultural machinery industry remains positive. This is a central result of the last survey for the Agritech Business Barometer, a worldwide semi-annual survey among representatives of the sector. Comparable to the last surveys, regional differences became evident – from very high satisfaction with the current business in India and the USA to a more cautious evaluation in Japan, Western Europe and Turkey. The outlook for the next six months in general is positive, given the fact that the order books are still relatively high.

Everest Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 4.60
Developer Homepage: http://www. lavalys.com
Product Homepage: http://www.lavalys.com
Everest Ultimate and Corporate Edition offer several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Drives with only one or two tests displayed in write the write test mean that they have failed the test and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores were very high after the cached fills. This usually happens only with controllers manufactured by JMicron.
The read access with the RocketRAID and C300's in RAID or with a single drive shows that the controller doesn't add latency.
The write latency of the C300 is high on its own when compared to other SSDs, but it is important to keep in mind that we are now measuring SSD performance in thousands of a second. With a single drive the HighPoint RocketRAID 640 doesn't add latency to the write process, but with an array of two drives we see a little delay added.

Brian Wilson responds to Mike Love: 'It sorta feels like we're being fired from The Beach Boys'
Brian Wilson has responded to Mike Love's letter claiming he didn't fire him from The Beach Boys.
Last week (October 6) Love defended his plans to continue touring under the Beach Boys name after the band's current 50-year anniversary, which ended in London last month, in an open letter published by the LA Times.
Love wrote: "I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson."
However, now Wilson has responded with a letter in the same publication. "Normally I wouldn't respond to something like this," he wrote in the LA Times, "but because I love what the 50th has done for the band's image and its legacy, I feel I need to."
"As far as I know I can't be fired - that wouldn't be cool," he wrote. "The negativity surrounding all the comments bummed me out. What's confusing is that by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David and me tour with the band, it sort of feels like we're being fired."
He added: "What's a bummer to Al and me is that we have numerous offers to continue, so why wouldn't we want to? We all poured our hearts and souls into that album and the fans rewarded us by giving us a No. 3 debut on the Billboard charts, and selling out our shows. We were all blown away by the response. Al and I would like to be included in the continuous promotion of 'That's Why God Made The Radio'. That's what I've been doing for over a decade: making records and going out and supporting them. It's what I do." He concluded:
"It's Al and my opinion that all of us together makes for a great representation of the Beach Boys. While I appreciate the nice cool things Mike said about me in his letter, and I do and always will love him as my cousin and bandmate, at the same time I'm still left wondering why he doesn't want to continue this great trip we're on. Al and I want to keep going because we believe we owe it to the music.

V well selected. Could I add, please, that the figure in the second photo could just as easily have been named McDonnell, Virginia's Governor, who is openly running for vice president as the palatable Santorum, and is about to sign legislation compelling -- compelling, mind you -- ultrasound imaging of a foetus on the eve of its termination, literally as "the woman's right [sic] to the relevant information." Cher Slab, if we were not discussing real women suffering real subjugation and intimidation, we could marvel at the Orwellian synch of the Right's rhetoric and its repressions. And may I repeat, this is ostensibly "Santorum Lite."
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 1, 2012 at 3:35 PM
Are you Americans still at this level of religious fundamentalism? My God, we're much better off here in Europe!
ReplyDelete Actually Santorum is right about the "global warming" hysteria.
And was to the ultrasound requirement, why NOT require that a woman realize just what it is that she is about to destroy? If it's merely a "blob of protoplasm" as the abortionists tell us, then it shouldn't bother her. If it looks somewhat more like a baby, then she may change her mind. But at least she should be fully informed.
Women who abort have nearly double the risk of suicide. As time goes on they tend to realize they tend to realize what it was that they snuffed out.Replies- stevenjMarch 2, 2012 at 1:57 PM
If you don't want an abortion then don't have one. It's none if your business what a woman does with her body. Once the "blob of protoplasm" reaches 18 years old it goes off to Iraq and Afghanistan and maims and kills people and when it comes home is called a "hero" and thanked for it's "service". See you at the next anti war rally (not).
- stevenjMarch 2, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Santorum is a homophobic A hole and whatever comes out of his mouth should be largely dismissed. I suppose that the melting of the glaciers and ice caps is really hysteria and we should bury our heads in the sand.

Kinsey (15)
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Dr Alfred Kinsey was the first researcher to lift the lid on America's motley sexual practices in the post-war period, and the revelations that spilled from his 'Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male' and 'Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female' are regarded as a key plank of the sexual revolution. That raises the question of where scientific study loses its detachment and becomes itself an agent of change, and certainly the country's conservatives – 'the forces of chastity', as he has it here – have made much of supposed failings in both Kinsey's professional methodology and his personal predilections, accusing him of not only 'legitimising' but also practising and inciting the diversity he claimed merely to record. 'Life's one irreducible fact,' he called it, drawing on his training as a student of gall wasps.Bill Condon's biopic plays up that breach between the doctor's less than dispassionate interest in his subject – he encouraged partner-swapping among his research team, and vexed his funders by documenting on film various forms of sex in his own attic – and his lab-coated aloofness from its emotional cargo, adhering to a 'just the physiognomy, ma'am' line of enquiry. It's rich material, and of far from merely historical interest, particularly as the Christian right continues to mobilise. The shame is that the film doesn't convey more mess or danger; its sex and its politics are almost entirely dinner-table-friendly. Leading man Liam Neeson, Laura Linney as Kinsey's faithful missus and the rest of the cast are all eminently charismatic, but only Peter Sarsgaard ever communicates any uncontained pain. Condon's script, especially, is airlessly neat with pointers, contrasts and parallels; it never breaks out of the box.

Yesterday we brought you the first pics of Hugh Jackman's new gel-tastic look from The Wolverine (on the Australian set), and because we're such awesome folks, we've also managed to grab some new shots from today's Yukon location.
Either Wolvie's officially homeless, or Hugh Jackman has taken the deep plunge into hipsterdom.
Since the film will follow Chris Claremont's Japanese Saga, I think it's safe to say that this is an adaptation of the opening scene, in which Logan hunts a man-eating bear.
Wolverine vs Bear.
I like the sound of that.
What do you guys think? Digging the new look?

The 2008 stewardship report of Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) proves that recycling and carbon-neutrality don't necessarily go hand in hand – and that growing businesses may face additional challenges in becoming or remaining sustainable. The report indicates that while REI is on track for meeting its zero-waste-to-landfill goal by 2020, it also fell short of its greenhouse gas goals last year, with emissions rising by 11 percent.
According to Environmental Leader, REI recycled nearly 85 percent of its waste last year – a substantial figure, particularly given the retail cooperative's expansion. (In 2008, REI opened nine new stores, including a 525,000-square-foot distribution center in Pennsylvania that significantly increased the company's total energy usage.) REI also seeks to purchase sustainably, design green buildings, and provide eco-sensitive products.
Despite these steps, however, REI's growth appears to have increased its carbon footprint. Although REI took immediate energy-related steps to reduce that footprint (for example, it equipped 11 stores with solar panels and powered 24 stores with solar power through contracts with local solar utilities), REI's carbon emissions grew from 104,000 tons in 2007 to 115,000 tons in 2008.
While the figures may be disheartening, I believe efforts like REI's to operate sustainably should be commended and continued. From a retaining-conscious-consumers standpoint, in the developing world of sustainable business, bumps in the road like these will likely be common and surmountable.

I was really disappointed in this.... I had ordered this online after seeing swatches of it. It was a red glitter with black microglitter. After ordering I looked up swatches again and found out that milani had changed the formula to a red glitter with gold hexagon glitter, while keeping the same name. In stead of being a beautiful true red it looks like more of an orangey-red. It is quite gloopy to apply and unless you do very thick coats you need at least 3 coats for opacity. It still is quite a pretty polish - very christmasy - but just be aware that the formula has been changed.

Terrible application- this stuff is so thick and gluggy, it somehow refuses to adhere to the tips and leaves you with bald patches. It looks amazing in the bottle but dulls and mattes when it dries and looks like red coloured asphalt. Even 2 coats of seche vite couldn't take away the sandpaper roughness or shine this glitter back up.

Easy glamour, that sums it up.
Took off one lippie because I find it peels faster than most polishes. Well worth the $ otherwise.

This is a pretty dupe of Color Club 'Art Of Seduction' (which I already have 2 bottles of), but I had to have this anyway.
Gorgeous bling of dense red micro-glitter that sparkles beautifully in the sun. I like that it's a true red - not orangey & not burgundy. $4.50 in drugstores (Duane Reade) but am having a hard time finding it, so I got mine from eBay (at a slightly lower cost). Love it.
Like all glitters, it dries matte of course. Can be worn that way or shine up the bling with several layers of topcoat (at least 3 coats for smoothness).

More reviews by mybeadifullife
This is such a pretty shade! It is shimmery green with yellow tones to it. I never would have gone for a shade like this, except the sales person recommended it. I think it would look especially pretty with people with hazel eyes.
Like the other shadowcremes that I have, this is excellent in terms of staying power, and works well either by itself or as a base for powder eyeshadow. They last all day on me, and don't crease. Excellent!
I wore this yesterday. I would describe this as almost a peridot green. I used my Stila Prime pot first. I started out with a brush but ended up with my pinky finger. It looked nice. But then I put a light dusting of my Estee lauder Pure Color Safari Green powder eye shadow over it. Gorgeous! And easy. I used a little bit of a highlight also. When I was done and looked in the mirror it did not look bright green. I also wore my UD 24/7 pencil in Mildew. Nice match. After wearing it all day I hated to take it off-- it looked like I had just put it on. Looked beautiful with my hazel eyes. (If I do say so myself!) Highly recommend.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my first time using green on my lids that was a more vibrant color than a grey/green shadow I have tried. With my multi-colored brown eyes, I have always been told I could wear green but never did. This is a beautiful color and intensifies the more layers you put on. There is a little sparkle that is almost not noticeable if you do a thin layer. And it stays on like crazy. Just what I was looking for and I will buy it again, but this will last me forever.
More reviews by foreverxsummer
I haven't written a review in a while now, but I feel like this product deserves a glowing review of his own. I was actually looking for a way to simplify my summer beauty routine and I came across this product. It's very easy to apply. I don't need to use a primer underneath this and it blends very easily if I apply with my finger. The color is rich and has great pigmentation. It's quite of a mossy green, with flecks of gold in it. While I picture this as a very summery color, it could be really pretty in fall as well. But what really prompted me to write a review on this is the AMAZING staying power. It stayed put from 6 am to 7am, and I squeezed a 30 min jog in there. It did not crease at all and stayed perfectly put. Wish it came in more colors though.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is amazing. I wore it all day at work and it didn't crease, fade or budge throughout the day. It has better wear than powder eyeshadows and certainly any creme shadows I've used in the past. The colour is not quite olive-green, but is not a bright green either... I'd probably describe it as a mossy green, with a little bit of shimmer. It was very easily to apply and dried quickly so, again, no creasing. I wore it with stila kitten as a base and this as the lid colour, with plenty of black mascara.

Union City father Jason Michael Mangas accused of 'branding' 3 children with heated medallion
5 children left in man's care, police say
WINCHESTER, Ind. - A Union City father is accused of "branding" three children with a medallion heated on a space heater.
Jason Michael Mangas, 28, of Union City faces three felony counts of neglect of a dependent filed Wednesday.
Court documents said Mangas' four children and a family friend were left in his care the weekend of Jan. 19-20, which is when police said the three children were burned.
Mangas lives in a Union City home with friend Jama King and her children.
"I was very shocked," King said. "I couldn't imagine the things that I've been told that happen, and how it went down."
An 8-year-old girl who was branded told a sheriff's deputy she'd told Mangas she wanted a tattoo.
The girl also told authorities that her dad helped one of her siblings and his friend burn a tattoo on their bodies in the same way.
The affidavit says Mangas heated a necklace on a space heater and placed it on the girl's arm, burning an impression of the necklace's medallion.
"At the time, I really don't think he really thought he was hurting him," said Mike Mangas, Jason Mangas' father. "But we had to take them up to the hospital, and they had third degree burns on one of the minor's arms, and I told him that it's a third degree burn. He didn't realize it was that bad."
Investigators say photos of the branding show burns and scabbing.
Mangas is being held at the Randolph County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
The childrens' mother told RTV6 this was a brutal incident and her kids will be scarred for life. Both she and Mike Mangas believe Jason Mangas needs to pay for what he's accused of doing.
"I think he done the crime, he should do the time," Mike Mangas said. "That's how I look at it. It was neglect on his part and child abuse. He knows what he done was wrong. He knows that."
There's also suspicion that Mangas might have branded another one of his children, but he has not been charged in that incident.
Jason Mangas' wife, Sarah Mangas, said the couple is in the process of divorcing. Her concern now is the welfare of her children, and she said the scars are healing and she plans to get counseling for the children.
