Thank you for joining in the lotto!
You get to be even more creative than normal this month! Gather your blue and yellow scraps and prints, then put them together in any star pattern you would like to use. Use the same star pattern for all three or mix it up. It's up to you; have fun with it! This lotto is open to all and new quilters are encouraged to participate. You will learn much and have fun doing it. Participate in as many or as few lottos as you want, but even if you don't like the current month's block think about doing at least one. The winner will appreciate your efforts! Here's the drill:
July2012 For July, you can use any star block, as simple or as complicated as you like. The theme is blue and yellow, but some white mixed in is OK as long as the overall impression is "Blue and Yellow". No juvenile or novelty prints. Please use all cotton fabric, with nicely pressed 1/4 inch seams. I've attached pictures of the blocks I made for this one. Don't hesitate to ask questions or make suggestions. This is YOUR lotto! Kate |

now...the winner of THIS month will have one super gorgeous quilt!!!! wow! |
Beth - I agree. Usually I don't enter my own name in the drawings but I think I won't be able to resist this month. I've been looking forward to this one since January! I already have blocks from a couple people for July, sent earlier with their other blocks. Gorgeous!!! Kate |

Here's my two, the pattern is called StarFlower, (looks like the one needs a better pressing)...I may need to make another. V. |
Kate - please leave your name in the drawing! Your method is so completely fair with 2 others involved in the choice, that I can't imagine anyone having an issue with you winning a lotto. No one questioned when I won the May lotto, even though I chose the winning number. I didn't know the names on the list, and certainly didn't know the random numbers assigned to that list. You participate, you HOST (which is a lot of work), and you should be able to compete with everyone else. |

Absolutely Kate should include her name in the drawings if she wants to win! Hosting the Lotto and keeping it running is very much appreciated, and she should play --- the method of drawing the winner is so fair and unbiased---and your chances are really increased by submitting more blocks. So---include your name Kate - that's an order!!!!! Please. :~) |
Thank you! I would have felt really guilty if I had participated and won in the first 6 months but I guess it's been long enough. What pretty blocks have already been posted! Beth, your blocks remind me of your garden - so fresh and cheerful. Val, I LOVE the starflower pattern; and it gives almost endless color combinations. We might have to add this one to next year's lotto. Where did you find the pattern? Is it the Ellison Lane one? Here's a picture from their website: |
I just realized I probably shouldn't have posted that multicolor StarFlower picture! I don't mean to confuse anyone about this block. It is NOT a multicolor month! Just to be sure we've all got it, here are the specs for July: |

How funny! This is the same as I requested for my birthday block in-what? 2006? I'll post the other one too, which was a baby quilt. |
- Posted by bozogardener (My Page) on Mon, Jul 2, 12 at 15:55
Thanks for posting those pictures! It shows how pretty a blue/yellow star quilt can be. I really like the sashing you used in the baby quilt! |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 20:59
Kate, I agree with everyone else...you definitely need to put your name in the drawing. You are the hostess...doing the mostess (sorry, couldn't resist) I've helped one time in the drawing and there's no way anyone could think you planted your name. Please participate!! The starflower pattern came from the Quilter's Cache. I wanted to try something new for me...but then they all seem new to me! Love yellow and blue together...it's a great combo as evidence by the lovely quilts posted by bozogardener! |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 21:45
correction on my pics...On the left is Star puzzle, on the right is Star flower,both from Quilters Cache. V. |
Love the choices and all in my favorite colors! Hope I can get my space up and running fast! |
I hope to get a block or two made for this month's lotto. Bozogardener, I love your quilts....I think I made a block for you! Mary |

When do the blocks have to be mailed to participate in the July block swap? |
> all blocks received by the last day of the month will be included in the lotto drawing Send me an email and I'll send you my address. Always glad to have new participants! Kate |
I love blue and yellow together. The quilts are beautiful and this months blocks are gonna rock! |
I've finished 1 block for July and 1 for August. Will be posting them tomorrow - 16th July. I have a problem with my computer & can't load up photos at the moment. Kristene |
They are all beautiful! This is going to be another great quilt! There's still time for those of you who haven't joined in this month. Kate |
My birthday block quilt from ???? Do any of you remember making these blocks? I wished I had time to make these this month :-( I'm missing out on all the fun. Vicky |
I've made one yellow/blue quilt already, but my daughter chose it as a birthday gift, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind having another, so I just shot off three blocks. They should reach you by month's end since I drove to the post office and got them in before the mail went out this afternoon. It would make a lovely quilt. |
- Posted by polardream (My Page) on Thu, Jul 26, 12 at 18:19
I wish I had time to participate but this month just keeps getting more and more hectic. Whoever wins this lotto is one lucky quilter! Love the color combo. Sue |
Everyone gets credit for blocks mailed, even if I don't receive them by the 1st. There's still time and if you mail them in the last couple days of the month, just let me know. Once again, I thank you ALL for your participation and interest. I'm enjoying the lotto so much and love to see what you all create. The next couple months will be fall colors and scrappy, so be saving all your bits of fabric! I think you'll really like both patterns. Kate |
Well, that is an understatement. I already did the Dutchman's Puzzle and Roberta's Jewel blocks and both were so fun and so neat, the blocks ended up in quilts. Now, I have to do them over for the lotto. The up side is I have the techniques down pat by now. LOL |
Calliope! That HAS to be the best advertisement for the lotto EVER: I liked them so much I kept them! |
- Posted by beth7happy (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 15:34
Whew...just in the nick of time! My sister was here for a few days, so we went to work making the lotto blocks! It's more fun to have a sewing buddy, I think!! I'll mail tomorrow, Kate. 3 blocks. |
- Posted by polardream (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 0:36
Kate, I changed my mind and found time to get 3 blocks finished! I will mail them in the morning - hopefully they will arrive quickly. WOOHOO. I just love yellow and blue together. Sue |
- Posted by beth7happy (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 12:00
Wow, Sue..I LOVE those! Kate...just back from the post office and mailed three. They said you should have them by tomorrow. |
- Posted by beth7happy (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 12:01
Wow, Sue..I LOVE those! Kate...just back from the post office and mailed three. They said you should have them by tomorrow. |
I received a couple more squishies today! When I get home from work tomorrow and I'll check the mailbox then get ready for the drawing. If anyone else is on-line tomorrow evening around 7pm eastern time, maybe we can do it then, before the evening Olympic coverage starts! Kate |
Anyone on line to help with the drawing? Our lovely blue and yellow blocks are ready to find their new home. We have 26 blocks! With a little sashing, that will make a great quilt. Here are the participants: Kate |
Going to eat dinner... I'll be back a little later! |
I'm back online now, Kate. I had flapjacks and sausage, per hubby's request. You? ;-) |
I'm here too, if you need two. Stroganoff over basil noodles with a salad. |
I had a spicy Thai soup! Yum! OK, emailing the list to Calliope. |
If I did it right, the list is back to you. I think I got outcooked by both of you. However, I did cook Tubby the dog his own little pancake. |
Wow, that was fast! I've got the list back, so if Mary_C will pick a number from 1 to 19 (inclusive) we'll have a winner! |
I hope you kept your name in the drawing, Kate! Via the random number generator - it's lucky number 7!! Congratulations to whomever! |
sunnycentralflorida! Congrats, Gwen!!! |
Woot..........woot.........congrats on a beautiful haul! |

One Great Falls woman got her chance to "come on down!" on the CBS game show "The Price Is Right."
Karman Klundt, an internal auditor at D.A. Davidson, will appear on the Friday (March 11) episode of the long-running game show.
Karman, her mom, sister, and a group of about 17 women stood in line for more than four hours to get into the show.
She told us it was so loud in the studio she didn't even get to hear the announcer call out, "Karman Klundt...come on down!"
Karman recalled, "A little guy stands up on the stage and holds a cue card and so this is my souvenir. I saw my name and I was like, 'Oh my God, oh my God! Are you serious?! I was so excited I didn't even hug my mom and sister beside me, I just started running to the stage."
Karman couldn't tell us very much about how she did, but she did say she got to spin the big wheel during one of the two "Showcase Showdowns."
You can see Karman right here on KRTV and KXLH at 9 am on Friday.

Tote Bag Trauma
In my unending search to offer you the finest legal analysis ever, I considered writing about three stories this morning. First, I considered writing about the Justice Department's decision to stop an investigation into the White House's domestic spying program because the National Security Agency isn't cooperating with the investigation. Then I considered writing about the big front-page story this morning in USA Today about how the government has collected billions of telephone records from presumably all of us in an effort to identify calling patterns that the feds say will help fight terrorism. In the end, though, I couldn't pass up the story about the guy in California who is suing the California-Anaheim-Los Angeles Angels because the team didn't give him a red nylon tote bad during a Mother's Day promotion last year. See? I've got your back.
It's true. According to the Associated Press, and the Los Angeles Times, a pscychologist named Michael Cohn is suing the Angels for sex and age discrimination. His argument? That men and fans under 18 were unfairly treated unequally last Mother's Day because only women over 18 received the tote bags (which are probably worth, what, five bucks?) When Cohn first complained last June, the AP reports, the Angels dutifully send him four tote bags along with an explanation that the team ran out of bags during the game Cohn attended.
Not good enough, Cohn says. He told his attorney, and his attorney told the AP, that "there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog coudln't have jumped over them." To quote Dave Barry, I am not making this up. This year, meanwhile, the Angels plan to give away tote bags to the first 25,000 fans over the age of 18. Still not good enough, says Cohn, who is pursuing his civil rights claim against the team. He says that each male fan, and each fan under 18, deserves $4,000 from the Angels from last year's promotion. Wonder what Cohn's mom thinks?
Talk at you later, when perhaps I tackle those other two outrageous stories that didn't make the cut for your morning coffee.

C'mon Andrew. Cover what matters, like the ever-expanding NSA surveillance program. Covering crap like a disgruntled fan who didn't get a freebie demeans what you're doing and trivializes the important issues. You should want to do better if you're serious about covering the legal landscape.

Posted by: Cujo359 | May 11, 2006 12:31 PM
Backstory to this guy. He makes his living by making these frivolous lawsuits for "sexual harrassment" whether it be this particular case or something like a "ladies night" promotion at a nightclub. Him and his buddy Alfred Rava have been doing this for years. Obviously he'd rather settle for money rather than take these people to court. Basically it's legalized extortion. It really sickens me that there are people who can really live with themselves knowing they make their income doing stuff like this. Very shameful. Michael Cohn should do us all a favor and throw himself off a tall building for he is surely going to hell for living the life of a shameful bastard.

Excellent article excerpted from today's WSJournal:
Four Medicare Misconceptions
The federal Medicare program is popular among older Americans, but that doesn't mean it's easy to navigate. It's easy to get confused, because the age to collect full Social Security benefits is moving up to age 67, but for Medicare eligibility is still 65. Here are four common Medicare misconceptions: 1. Medicare works like private health insurance. With Medicare, if you're a high earner, you'll pay a premium surcharge for Medicare Part B, which covers doctors' visits and outpatient services, and Part D, which covers prescription-drug costs. 2. Medicare provides free or cheap health care. Under the new health-care law, as of this year beneficiaries can get annual wellness check-ups at no charge. For the first time, they also are eligible for free recommended preventive screenings, such as colonoscopies and mammograms. But that's where the freebies end. Traditional Medicare involves a matrix of premiums, copays, coinsurance and deductibles. For instance, you'll have to meet a deductible -- $1,132 for 2011 -- before Part A coverage kicks in for hospital stays of up to 60 days. Most purchase a Medigap supplemental insurance plan to help cover out-of-pocket costs. If you're a high earner (more than $85,000 if you're single, or $170,000 for a married couple filing jointly) you�ll pay a surcharge on Parts B and D over the monthly premium. 3. Medicare covers everything. Traditional Medicare doesn't cover routine dental care, eyeglasses, hearing aids or custodial long-term care. It generally won't cover health care you receive while traveling outside the U.S. Medicare Advantage plans offered privately can offer additional benefits, but they typically come with more restrictive doctor and hospital networks. If you're healthy it might work out, but you might end up paying a lot more if you've got some chronic-care needs. 4. You can sign up for Medicare at any time. If you or your spouse are still working and getting employer coverage, it may make sense to delay signing up for Medicare to avoid paying premiums on coverage they don't yet need. But incorrectly putting it off can cost you 10% of the Part B premium for every 12 months you delay enrollment. What's more, there may be a waiting period, during which you will be uninsured. A job loss often triggers confusion. Take an older spouse who has been counting on his younger wife's employer health-insurance plan for his primary coverage. If the wife is laid off, he needs to sign up for Part B coverage right away to avoid a penalty. If she goes on Cobra, which extends employer group coverage to the departing worker for up to 18 months, he will have a special enrollment period of eight months to enroll in Part B without incurring a penalty. As soon as regular employer insurance ends, the person with Medicare who had been relying upon employer coverage should immediately enroll in Medicare B. If you're unsure when you should sign up for Medicare, ask your human-resources department or call the Social Security Administration. You also can contact your state health insurance assistance program (www.shiptalk.org), call Medicare (1-800-Medicare) or the Medicare Rights Center hotline (1-800-333-4114). |

Thanks for reposting this article. I saw it but didn't really pay attention. Medicare is a great program and most seniors couldn't live without it. But, it has its pitfalls like anything else. This article really spells them out. |

Reviews for Make-Ahead Beef Barley Soup
Sort By :
"What size is medium? I have never been able to figure that out. Weight would be good but if you can't use or read a scale then use a tape measure and give the diameter and height."
"Quick and easy soup and also inexpensive.
Next time will use a little less chop meat. Would also work with other veggies as well as I added some leftover corn and was very good.Thanks for a delicious recipe!""It isn't often that my husband goes nuts over soup, but with this one he asked for seconds AND asked if we could have it again the next night. I added a little pepper and topped it with french fried onions. Definitely a delicious, hearty soup and great for cooler weather! I am glad it is a big recipe because that gave me plenty left to freeze for later."
"I love this soup its so easy to make and is loaded with so much flavor. All the farmers love it when I bring it to them on chilly days."
"Ooooh, wonderful. I halved the ingredients, omitted the celery, replacing with celery seed, and crockpot cooked it. Barley was soft in about 4 hours. Could use a little more basil to spark the flavor."

John Mills among those hosting 4-H community night
BY: Andrew Manzella | November 02, 2012
Young people ages 5 – 19 in Erie County will have the chance to explore 4-H Club opportunities of all kinds, during the 4-H community night, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 14 in the Swan Auditorium at Hilbert College, located at 5200 South Park Ave. in Hamburg. The public meeting will start at 7 p.m.
The meeting will offer information to young people looking to get involved in 4-H and to adults who are interested in volunteering and hosting individual clubs.
The event will be run by Erie County legislators John Mills, Lynne Dixon and Joseph Lorigo, in conjunction with the Cornell Cooperative Extension. The stated goal is to raise awareness about the "educational, skill-building programs that 4-H has available to children and young adults with varying interests," according to a Cornell representative.
During the meeting, current 4-H educators will be present to answer questions and share their own experiences.
"We want to showcase all the opportunities that are available in our program and are always welcoming new youth members as well as committed, adult volunteers," said 4-H Educator Laurie Korb.
"I have toured the 4-H exhibits at the Erie County Fair and I am always impressed with the caliber of the projects and I just learned that Erie County won the most rosettes at this year's New State Fair, a significant accomplishment," Mills said. "Erie County's 4-H program is outstanding and always needs more participants and volunteers, to build on its success."
The 4-H organization originated more than 100 years ago. The club assists participants in activities that further their chosen hobbies and activities and benefits the local community.
The first clubs were primarily agriculture-themed. While 4-H programs still focus on individuals living in rural areas, residents of urban and suburban settings can also participate in the organization. Today, more than 40 programs are currently offered in the following categories: healthy living, natural resources, plant science and gardening, animal science, science and technology and community service.
"The 4-H program is important to youths because it gives them an opportunity to learn life skills, through research-driven, time-tested methods that promote leadership, skill building and civic engagement," Korb said. "Children can participate in projects suited to their talents, interests and abilities, in a structured, club environment or as a more flexible, independent member."
The four H's in 4-H stand for head, hands, heart and health. According to Korb, the values associated with these symbols are incorporated into the daily lives of 4-H participants, to "build a foundation for life-long growth and learning. 4-H links kids with Cornell University, where youth can take part in statewide events and explore different career paths that they may like to consider."
For more information about the meeting or to get involved in the 4-H program, contact Mills at 858-8850 or email email@example.com. Korb is available at 652-5400 ext. 130 or email@example.com.

I haven't made candles since I was a teenager and would like to start refilling my own crocks & glass containers. Soy wax, cotton wicks, no scent or color. I was hoping I could get recommendations from experienced candle makers on suppliers of soy wax & what kind works best for large crocks (>75 oz) & glass containers like old Yankee & canning jars. Also what kind & brand cotton wicks do you all recommend along with a source.
I recently had to find a new candle shop to refill my crocks and was taken back from what she charged. I used to pay $10 for an 86 oz crock of paraffin to $46 for soy. I didn't pay that much for the crock already filled. Thank you in advance for any suggestions & recommendations.

Hey! I used to make candles but have never made soy candles so I can't help you with finding the supplies, but there is a soap making & candle forum on this site & I know someone there can help you. Good Luck!! |

Karen, I just happened to be trapsing through.. In my opinion the best soy wax is produced by Enchanted Lites. But I also know what it costs to ship wax. So I also recommend finding a reputable supplier as close to you as possible and working with the soy they offer. Soy wax burns better with fragrance oil added. And cotton wicks are great. I prefer HTP wicks, which are a cotton braided coreless wick, that bends towards the melt pool. Greatcandle.com Both these companies have very knowledgeable ladies running the show. They were chandlers first, then became suppliers. 86 oz, that's over 5lbs of wax...WOW! And I'm guessing atleast 3-4 wicks?? If I did something that big, not including the crock or the cost of it, Yep it would cost about $40 for the wax, wicks and fragrance, based on my mark up rate. So $46 is not off base...But certainly it would cost about |

UO women ace last test before finals week
From today's editions, a story by Steve Mims:
Tough tests come in the classroom this week for the Oregon women's basketball team and then on the court later this month.
The Ducks prepared for a week of final exams by defeating Portland 88-78 in a nonconference women's basketball game Sunday afternoon in front of 1,337 at Matthew Knight Arena. Seniors Amanda Johnson and Jasmin Holliday led the Ducks with 23 and 20 points, respectively, as Oregon bounced back from its first loss and improved to 7-1 heading into a week with no games.
"It is a good win before we now commence into an academic week of exams, papers and tests, so it is always good to have a smile on your face and a win to do your academic challenges," Oregon coach Paul Westhead said.
The Ducks next play at Denver on Sunday as the countdown to Pac-12 games has been cut down to four nonconference games before Washington State on Dec. 29.
"I think we are a team that's playing decent," Westhead said. "We're 7-1 and I talked to the players about how the competition level in a few weeks is going to go up, so we better be prepared."
Oregon never trailed against the Pilots, but Portland kept itself close by hitting 15-of-35 three-pointers. That came three days after Fresno State was 17-for-39 on three-pointers in an 81-71 win over the Ducks.
"We have been letting people get hot and we can't do that, especially with the Pac-12 coming up in the future," sophomore Danielle Love said.
Love is heating up as she had career highs with 16 points and five assists to go with 10 rebounds against the Pilots. She has set a career high in points during three of her last five games.
"Danielle turns out to be one player that I can't get out of the game, that I don't want to take out," Westhead said. Click here for the complete story.

*Taken from Space.
UPDATE for 5:35 p.m. ET: NASA has recalculated the time of closest approach for this event to be about 3 1/2 hours later than initially reported. The change is reflected below.
Here's something to dwell on as you head to work on Monday morning: A small asteroid the size of a tour bus will make an extremely close pass by the Earth at about that time, but it poses no threat to the planet.
The asteroid will make its closest approach at 1:14 p.m. EDT (1714 GMT) on June 27 and will pass just over 7,500 miles (12,000 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, NASA officials say. At that particular moment, the asteroid — which scientists have named 2011 MD — will be sailing high off the coast of Antarctica, almost 2,000 miles (3,218 km) south-southwest of South Africa.

You have chosen to add to your My Faves.
Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum has a beautifully smooth silicone base and contains an impressive amount of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid, whose acid component can be a skin irritant). Two other stabilized forms of vitamin C are also in the formula, along with the antioxidants quercetin, vitamin E, willow bark, and kudzu. Gross also added cell-communicating ingredients and salicylic acid, but the amount of the latter is too low (and the pH of this product too high) for exfoliation to occur. All in all, this is a well-formulated antioxidant serum that is packaged to ensure potency.
Promotes optimal skin function with a high-performance complex of Vitamin C. This nourishing serum contains three forms of Vitamin C to provide maximum efficacy. Vitamin C works in the lipid-soluble and water-soluble layers of the skin so this potent and effective serum has been created to deliver the appropriate form of Vitamin C to each layer of the skin. Vitamin C is singled out as the most potent anti-aging ingredient, requiring its own formula with multiple forms of Vitamin C to provide maximum benefits to the skin without irritation.
Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclomethicone, Ascorbic Acid, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Squalane, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Quercetin Caprylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Linoleic Acid, Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract, Acrylates/Carbamate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Pentasodium Pentetate, Phytic Acid, Potassium Citrate, Potassium Gluconate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Purified Water, Phenoxyethanol
As you may have gleaned from the name, dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross created this skin-care line. Based in New York City, he claims that all of his products provide "maximum results without side effects," a statement any doctor should know better than to make. For instance, a consumer would logically assume, especially coming from a doctor, that "maximum results" means the products in question really will firm, lift, tighten, plump, or peel the skin. But Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products don't provide maximum results, not in the least, and definitely not in any of the ways suggested by the marketing copy. In fact, although Gross includes some very impressive ingredients in his products, they cannot make good on the most enticing claims he makes for them.
As for the promise of "no side effects," that is easily refuted with a simple overview of his underachieving products. A quick summary: lavender oil can cause skin-cell death, sulfur is extremely irritating and drying to skin, ascorbic acid can be sensitizing, as can retinol, and the synthetic active sunscreen agents he uses can also present their share of problems. That's not to say that all of these ingredients are bad for skin (only the sulfur and lavender oil qualify for that description), but it's foolish to make a blanket statement that your cosmeceutical-type products are free of side effects. How could he possibly know what a person may react to?
Gross also asserts that he uses cutting-edge technology in his products, a point which I concede given the number of superior moisturizers and serums he offers, all of which compete nicely with other well-formulated products. His products are expensive, but if you're going to spend a lot of money on skin-care products, you should be purchasing state-of-the-art formulas, and these do rate. Of course, this technology (read: efficacious ingredients) doesn't extend to every Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product, but overall this is one line whose formulas have improved considerably since the previous edition of this book, and that is excellent news!
Several of the products in this line contain emu oil. While there is research indicating that emu oil is a good emollient that can help heal skin, it is not that different from other oils that offer the same benefit, such as grape or olive or even mineral oil for that matter (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology, August 1996, pages 159–161).
Last, please ignore the tired claim that these products are your alternative to surgical procedures and that they use medical-grade ingredients. Concerning the latter, there is no such thing; Gross uses the same cosmetic and over-the-counter active ingredients found throughout the cosmetics industry. And although his line offers some remarkable products, none of them can provide results equivalent to Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments (and definitely not a face-lift).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all MD Skincare products are fragrance-free.
For more information about Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, call (888) 830-7546 or visit the Web site at www.dgskincare.com.
NOTE: In Spring 2010, MD Skincare became Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare.
I love this Vitamin C serum from Dr. Dennis Gross. It works very well on my normal to oily combination skin. I wear it at night alone (no moisturizer) and over the past few months of wearing it, my skin texture has improved quite dramatically -- smaller looking pores, even skin tone. However, the price of this product ($95) is astronomical! I buy this only when it's on sale. I think there are other products out there that are better for a far lower price.
I love how this glides on and how it seems to absorb rapidly. My skin has been very sensitive to vitamin C compounds in the past with other products, often causing breakouts because of irritation. This formulation allows the vitamin C to do its work without causing the problems meaning I use it more frequently allowing for better results. Is it expensive? Yes! But it does seem to go a long way and I adore the packaging which keeps the product fresh. Worth it, in my opinion
I've used this product off and on for 6-7 years (started when it was MD Skincare). For awhile, it was worth every cent. My complexion was glowing, radiant, soft, even...this product got my skin as close to perfect as possible. However, I picked it up again after a 2 year hiatus and the results are problematic. My skin is radiant once again...except for the small red bumps appearing (and staying) under my eye. Either I'm more sensitive or they changed the formula. Sad b/c this was my skincare HG!
I am shocked that paula would say this is best. This product has Ascobly Palmitate which is very bad for the skin.
Hello, and thanks for your comments! Are you perhaps thinking of another ingredient? Ascorbyl palmitate is actually very good for skin, and is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C. You can read more about it, and its benefits, here: http://www.paulaschoice.com/cosmetic-ingredient-dictionary/definition/ascorbyl-palmitate
Since Skinceutical's CE Ferulic serum, I've been very encouraged by the results from well formulated vitamin C products. I know Paula recommends modest amounts from a variety of antioxidants over a large concentration of a single rock star ingredient and in that respect, this serum does not disappoint in spite of it's name. That said, if it's place on the ingredients list is any indication, ascorbic acid is present in large quantities and it's made a huge difference in my pore size/skin tone.
Was excited to try something with high % of vitamin c. This just made my skin DRY and irritated. I'm sure some people would get good results, though. And I still maintain the texture is incredible. But thinking about how I could have bought almost 4 of my HG Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate for the price of ONE of these Dr. G serums, I decided to go back to my tried-and-true. Good ingredients. Price is one if its downfalls.
Very expensive. Don't have to spend almost 100 dollars for a good c-serum, seriously. However, just because there are better-priced options out there doesn't invalidate this serum. It's texture is nothing I've ever felt in a product I've used before. Haven't used much so cannot comment too much on results. I will update later.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; | 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. |
2 he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. | 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. |
3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; | 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. |
4 they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; | 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. |
5 they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. | 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. |
6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them. | 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. |
7 In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, | 7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. |
8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; | 8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. |
9 they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. | 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. |
10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. | 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. |
11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon. | 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. |
12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come. | 12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come. |
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, | 13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. |
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra'tes." | 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." |
15 So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind. | 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. |
16 The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. | 16 The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number. |
17 And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths. | 17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. |
18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths. | 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. |
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound. | 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury. |
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk; | 20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk. |
21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their immorality or their thefts. | 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. |

The Glass Slide
Sunday afternoon and the first day of an enormous Pacific swell. Fabio and I had just made it out to the major wave break line at the back of Makaja beach. After diving through a last series of shakingly powerful waves, we were now sitting on our boards in their rolling trail catching our breathes. Five other guys were out there with us spaced out in rough parallel. A huge crashing wave suddenly appeared 50 metres ahead on the horizon. I'd seem him stretching on the beach: a big 6-foot, far-gazing, thick-necked, hard-built aquanaut. You knew he was a master out there. Now, just as everyone was spooking ahead of the oncoming challenge, he woke us up with arms outstretched and pointing: "MOVE OUT TO THE SIDES!". I felt like a just-drafted Spartan getting my first glimpse of the Persian army.
Short of passions of the heart, I've never experienced something so insidiously enthralling as surfing. I've so far had eight sessions this time around. I'm mostly still building up strength, learning to read the waves and getting used to being thrashed around. You need to be really strong, agile, have foresight and respect for the ocean to hack it in this sport. Yet you're really just setting yourself up to be a conduit for the elements.
I often leave the beach shivering, thinking that I've finally had enough, but the second I let my conscience drift on the bus home, I start to imagine being back out there. In the morning I wake up and check the wave report. I push myself to eat a lot and healthily so that I may have what it takes for the next outing. It's gotten to the point where I even go to sleep re-imagining what I've lived in the waves.
I have four days left in Lima. I have a gut feeling that it might be enough to follow through my first big wave. Not a wave where either way it hits you you're going to get traction. I mean one of these 2m behemoths that you have to swim out 300m to see swell, that turns into a beautiful glass slide just before tumbling over. I've gone down the slide, even stood up for a few seconds, but I've yet to survive it in flight through to its last break. After that I can take the plane.

The marketing team seemed to be on the come up with the hiring of new personnel and a strengthened effort to raise visibility within the market
Some really nice area directorsConsmanagement meant well; however, micromanagement prevailed; commission structure is lacking. Most workshops and trainings focused around the consulting and technical aspects of the company. Groomed to believe that Cigital is the premier software security company within the space, with little or no explanation as to why. This is somewhat subjective and should be clarified as a self touted commendation.
There were a lot of meetings that held no intrinsic value for the sales team. There are some great thought people at Cigital but it adds no value for the sales team to hear presentations on completely niche technical aspects of the consulting side of the businessAdvice to ManagementAdviceAllow salespeople to engage in alternate methods of lead generation and production. The proliferation of ideas methodologies is how lead generation can evolve for the better. Numbers look good, but there was a lot of over projection from all levels of the sales team on a month to month basis. More senior sales individuals should be open to and engage with entry level sales team (which a few definitely did provide a pathway) as opposed to wanting to be seen with an inflated ego and someone to be feared.

Rob: 3.8 rating, 12.1 million. Status: Rob Schneider's comedy started strong and is still doing well. But CBS sets the bar really high for this post-Big Bang slot, as William Shatner discovered last year.
A Gifted Man: 1.3 rating, 8.3 million. Status: Stunted 16-episode season and hasn't performed well despite a recent promotion to 9 p.m. So long, Patrick Wilson: We only hope there's time for you to book another show for fall.
Unforgettable: 2.7 rating, 12.7 million. Status: The Poppy Montgomery drama performs fairly well without anybody saying a word about it, which makes us think it's got a good shot.
The Good Wife: 2.5 rating, 11.7 million. Status: CBS really wants bigger ratings (and young viewers), but The Good Wife is one of the few CBS dramas that gets a bunch of press and acclaim. It's a keeper.
CSI: NY: 1.9 rating, 10.6 million, and CSI: Miami: 2.6 rating, 10.9 million. Status: Our prediction: Gary Sinese and company says goodbye this spring, followed by David Caruso next year. CSI the mother ship was the first one in and it will be the last one out.
How to be a Gentleman (CBS): 2.7, 8.4 million
Up All Night: 2.4 rating, 5.4 million. Status: Of all of the new NBC comedies, we think this one is most likely to return next season.
Whitney: 2.2 rating, 5 million. Status: Nosedived after being moved to Wednesdays. Girl, you're done.
Grimm: 2.1 rating, 6.4 million. Status: Very likely will return. Not a big number, but NBC's other new dramas this season made Grimm look like NCIS.
Parenthood: 2.5 rating, 6.3 million. Status: The congenial underdog. Feels likely to return, but really depends on how many new dramas NBC orders.
Community: 1.8 rating, 4 million. Status: On any other network it would go away. NBC isn't any other network.
Harry's Law: 1.5 rating, 8.6 million. Status: We don't see how NBC can afford to bring this back, and it wouldn't fit with Grimm on Fridays.
Rock Center With Brian Williams: 1.1 rating, 4.5 million. Status: A ratings black hole that drags down everything around it. Please replace Rock Center with Dateline soon before it starts hurting shows on other networks.
Are You There, Chelsea? 2.0 rating, 4.8 million. Status: "Are you there, viewers? It's me, season 2… that's what I thought."
Smash: 3.3 rating; 9.7 million: Status: Producers emphasized it's nothing like Glee, but neither are its recent numbers. And Katherine McPhee just ain't that exciting. Too early to call but…oy.
Fashion Star: Debuts March 13. Status: A Project Runway type show that comes from the producers who made Project Runway a success. Seeing how NBC is having a dilly of time getting traction with its new shows, we aren't optimistic about its opening.
Awake: Debuted March 1: Status: Can a complex — very complex — drama change the game for NBC? Debuted stronger than The Firm and Prime Suspect, but that's not saying much.
Playboy Club: 1.5, 4.9 million
Prime Suspect: 1.7, 6.1 million
Free Agents: 1.5, 3.8 million
The Firm: This never should have been made into a series.
The CW takes a rather mathematical approach when renewing its shows: It looks at current shows, adds the new crop, then sees how many time slots it has to fill during the upcoming season. The difference between the numbers is how many current shows will get cut. This is unlike other broadcasters because The CW doesn't hold a bunch of titles in reserve to drop into the schedule if a show or two flops out of the gate (which is why CW shows often continue airing long after you'd think their ratings would result in cancellation).
What this means: We don't know what's getting axed on The CW. But when we know how many CW pilots have received series orders, we'll suddenly be very confident. In the meantime…
Secret Circle: 0.9 rating, 2.2 million. Status: It fits nice with The Vampire Diaries … aside from losing a big bite of it's audience. Probably returning, though might move to Friday.
Ringer: 0.8 rating, 1.8 million. Status: We would be surprised if Sarah Michelle Gellar's drama gets another season.
Hart of Dixie: 0.8 rating, 1.9 million. Status: Feels more on-brand, and more likely to survive, than Ringer.
Nikita: 0.7 rating, 1.9 million. Status: We don't know but… James say no, Lynette is thinking yes.
* Ratings are season to date, including 7 days of DVR playback.

Found this recipe in a cookbook I picked up recently in a used book sale. Thinking about making some this weekend. Have you ever tried them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've not tried this one, but it does sound good. I have always had good luck with recipes from the Frugal Gourmet. Alexa |
Scratch that one!!! The dough was too dry ... even adding an extra teaspoon of vanilla ... had to add a tablespoon of water before it came together. Couldn't get the filling inserted right and by that time I was a little nauseated from the peppermint smell. Tossed the first 16 and did the remainder like the little buttery pecan balls that are so popular at Christmas. Rolled one in the peppermint/confectioner's sugar mix and promptly tossed it. The rest I rolled in plain confectioner's sugar. It wasn't a total loss, but a BIG waste of time! |
Cindy, sorry about your bad experience. Isn't it disheartening to waste all the time and ingredients on something that doesn't turn out at all? But to focus on the positive -- now you know how they are and you won't have to wonder any longer. :-) Jen |

'Why Stop Now' Trailer Gives Jesse Eisenberg a New Excuse to Look Nervous
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 5, 2012 | Be the First To Comment2010 was a good year for Jesse Eisenberg and Melissa Leo. While Eisenberg was wowing audiences with his performance in The Social Network, Leo was simultaneously turning heads for her role as an overbearing, white trash mother in The Fighter. And Tracy Morgan, well, Tracy Morgan is insane. So watching this trio team up in Phil Dorling and Ron Nyswaner's new comedy, Why Stop Now, should be something of a treat; especially since the powers that be seem to have cast each actor in roles that place them firmly in their comfort zones.
'Chick Magnet' Trailer Features a Shirt That Will Make Women Want to Rape You
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 31, 2011 | Comments (6)What if there were a shirt that would drive women around you into an uncontrollable sexual stupor? That's the central conceit behind Chick Magnet, and of course the second big question is how to explain to her why you want to keep your shirt on during sex. The trailer for the low budget sex comedy definitely shows its limitations, but there's at least a little bit to chuckle at here and a heart that will inevitably be involved (since one of the characters wants to use the shirt to get his crappy ex-wife back). Plus, somehow the production tricked Tracy Morgan, Kristen Bell and Rosario Dawson into making appearances as themselves. For those keeping score, an unknown writer/director and writer/producer (named Ryan R. Williams and Jeff Venables) created a movie where every woman wants to sex them up, and they somehow convinced Bell and Dawson to be two of those women. So, yeah, check it out:
Weekly DVD Drinking Game: Cop Out
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on July 21, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWith Cop Out, Kevin Smith tried something new. It's up to the film watcher rather than the film critic to decide whether it was a hit or a miss. But like Smith's video commentary in his previous films' DVDs, you might want to join in with some drinks while you watch this Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan buddy cop flick.

Tracy Morgan and Juliette Binoche: Now There's An Unlikely Pair
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentFirst Tracy Morgan saddles up with Bruce Willis and director Kevin Smith to make one of 2010's early contenders for biggest disappointment of the year in Cop Out. Now he's being cast in an ensemble cop drama alonside Juliette Binoche? From director Dito Montiel, of Fighting and A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints fame? This is all very confusing.

Interview: Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan Talk Cop Out
Features By Robert Levin on February 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentExperiencing the two men in a joint interview, as Film School Rejects did, can be a jarring experience. On the day of our roundtable, a sweatsuit clad Morgan burst into the room in a frenzy of enthusiasm, making small talk with the other journalists and enjoying a back and forth with some writers over a scene in which his character punches a kid after being kicked in the balls.
In Cop Out, for the first time, Kevin Smith takes on a script for hire. In place of Jay, Silent Bob, his other stock View Askew-niverse characters, the filmmaker works with screenwriters Robb and Mark Cullen to give us his 21st century version of the age-old interracial buddy cop formula.

When Jack finds out that Liz and Danny (Cheyenne Jackson) are hiding a strictly physical workplace relationship, he becomes jealous and attempts to break them up.

There was an article in yesterday's paper about the drought here in Atlanta and the numbers over the four year span(beginning of 99 through end of 02).
It stated, "...since the beginning of 1999, Atlanta has recorded only 137.70" of rain...and that the normal total for a four year period is slightly more than 200..." "The four year record low is 157.39" from 1893 through 1896" "If the area does not average 5" per month from now till December we will set the record...these last four years could turn out to be the driest since record keeping began.." The chance of our avoiding the record is not likely considering October is typically the driest month of the year. In fact last October was the driest in 107 years! From my own personal records, I have noted that my area of town has had only 1/8" of rain since August 16 and none since August 26. We are on an odd/even, no watering from 10am through 10pm even on your day, water restriction. Some cities are on a total outside ban. Also from the article, "August was extraordinarily dry for both Atlanta and Athens. Atlanta got only .77" while Athens had only .14"... earlier this week Athens/Clarke county restricted outdoor watering to one day a week...." All long term predictions say no end anytime soon! |

Well, if records were never broken we wouldn't bother keeping them. We have only had trace amounts since April, and only 6" during the rainy season. Our average rainfall is only 13" of course (it would take 4 average years here to equal one of your average years). |
It is amazing to compare the "normal" amount of rainfall across different areas. I see that the New Orleans area is also way behind their average - but they've already gotten far more than Atlanta ever gets! But for their plants - plants that are used to more water - it is a drought. |
We have had a little over 6" this year, 6 inches behind what we should have. |
Here in CO, they are saying this drought is as bad as the dust bowl in the 30s. THis is the 4th year of drought. they say that droughts here usually run in 7 year cycles. |
Well, since miss Hanna passed nearby, we have made a nice dent in the deficit. I have recorded 7.50" of rain since September 13. If that article was correct we now have our necessary 5" for this month. On to October! |
I believe the ranifall here to date is just under 7"-the norm is about 15"-roughly 1/2 of normal. Hope it snows soon!! |
In Colorado that is, lol. |
Wow, I cannot believe how well we've done in collecting rain since my original posting. We had 8" in September, 6.70" in October(which is truly amazing) and so far this month 1.80", with 1.30" coming down today(its pouring rain as I write this). This is one time where I am thrilled to be proven wrong! |
- Posted by paula_in_PA z6 PA (My Page) on Tue, Nov 5, 02 at 18:16
WOW! 16" and counting........ good for you Alan! |
Yesterday's finally tally of rainfall was exactly 2"! The front yard is like quicksand, you can sink up to your neck in a hurry!! |
The meaning of my title has now changed! We had another 1.40" of rain today(however its raining as I write!)so we already have 3.90 for November. With Septembers and Octobers rainfall totals we doubled our normal output of fall precipitation. Now, add what we have from November so far, and we are really soaked! Its just an amazing turnaround. |

403 Burton to Kirby
Cablegram 326 CANBERRA, 3 November 1947
Glad to know, for the information of the Prime Minister in particular, whether, following first contacts with the Republican and Netherlands authorities, the Committee's future programme has become clear enough to enable you to give any indication of when your work will be completed. As you are aware, the Prime Minister is anxious for your return as soon as possible. I should also mention that there are signs of impatience with the Security Council members to have the Committee complete its investigation and report with the minimum possible delay.
Is there any chance that the Committee can shorten the preliminary discussions on procedure and choice of meeting place and get going on the substance with a view to producing the final report and recommendations in two weeks?

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon: First Drive
Mercedes-Benz has updated the mainstay E-Class lineup of midsize luxury cars for the 2014 model year, the latest in a barrage of products from the German automaker. Like the others, this one is also designed to keep rival BMW at bay in the global sales race. I recently had an opportunity to sample one of the nearly 15 new variants of the E-Class, the E350 4Matic wagon, at a drive event in Ann Arbor, Mich. With the E-Class representing 20% of Mercedes-Benz's sales in the U.S., this is an important car for the brand, so it has to be right.
Thankfully the company already had a strong contender to begin with. For 2014, the changes to the E-Class are subtle but thorough. A new front and rear design is smoother and more integrated, and the rear doors and quarter panels no longer feature the bulbous fender of the previous model. The overall look is still recognizably Mercedes-Benz, but sleeker and leaner. Two distinct front-end looks are available for the sedan and wagon: Sport puts the three-pointed Mercedes-Benz star in the grille, and Luxury mounts it more traditionally to the front of the hood. In addition to the sedan and wagon, the E-Class is also available as a coupe and convertible; they're slated to reach dealerships at the end of this month.
