From the time I arrived in France, I was always upset and angered by the casual sexism in companies and in society as a whole. I used to scream at some of my more macho co-workers for their off-hand comments about women at work. I went so far as to get the entire copy of the United States Sexual Discrimination law to give to one of the most obnoxious of my colleagues (the French Sales Manager).
It used to get the Sales Manager's goat that I was at the same level of hierarchy as he was. He made it a point every day to slimily complement me on my clothes, my hair, my general glowing positive nature, etc., etc. He treated his assitant (a lovely woman) like a slave and she'd just take it. I used to try to get her to revolt but she was too scared to lose her job.
There are so many jokes about women; blonde jokes are especially popular here. And if you take the time to explain the sexist content of these jokes, the guys just stare at you as if you were from outer space.
Since moving out of Paris, there has been less of this kind of rampant sexism being thrown in my face. However, the equality of pay doesn't exist here. On average, for equal work, a woman gets paid 30% less than her male counterpart. I guess I've let being outraged take a backseat to other, more immediate concerns. Maybe I've gotten older and I don't fight as much as I used to. Who knows?
But when I saw this toy brochure from our local supermarket, I saw RED! In all of the pictures, the boys are doing the cool expensive stuff (pool tables, scientific experiments, heavy machinery at 153€ 73) and the girls get WHAT???? Babies and kitchen items for 29€ 70!!!! Give me a break!!!!
I'm about ready to go to that supermarket and give the manager a piece of my mind. The first few years here, when I'd get mad and wanted to make an intelligent point about political-correctness, my French would falter and I'd wind up just getting mad.
I think that I've been here long enough now to be able to sound reasonable sane and coherent when complaining. Otherwise, I'll make an idiot of myself, and as usual, Monsieur Titi will be deeply ashamed for me.

Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel, for Clear Skin is medicated with a small amount of salicylic acid. Unfortunately, this tried-and-true anti-acne ingredient needs to be left on skin in order to have the most benefit—yet that's not how cleansers are designed to be used. This is still a good cleanser for normal to oily skin, and it's fine for acne-prone skin, too (as long as you understand it's going to take more than this cleanser to achieve clear skin).
Contains Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Witch Hazel extract to cleanse and unblock deep down.
Active: Salicylic Acid (0.5%), Other: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, PEG 200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Decyl Glucoside, Glycerin, PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Totarol, Triethanolamine, Green 3, Sodium Citrate, Yellow 5, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root), Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid), Eperua Falcata Bark Extract, Dextrin, Fragrance
Health is vital. That's the opening line on Vichy's catalog, followed by "Start with your skin." Perusing the opening pages of this catalog, it's easy to see how someone could get wrapped up in this L'Oreal-owned company's belief in listening to the signals skin sends us and then choosing products to address whatever problem skin is signaling you to correct. That might include acne, blackheads, eczema, discolorations, broken capillaries, and even excess oiliness. No surprises there, and it is sound advice to adapt your skin-care routine as your skin's needs (and signals) change. The problem is that Vichy's products, though well intentioned, are incapable of addressing several common problems, including most of those listed above. About all you can expect from most Vichy moisturizers is relief from dryness. That's it. Every product's claims "talk the talk," but they cannot possibly walk the walk because what's in them is, for the most part, standard, and without any research behind it to show that it makes a difference.
A big-deal ingredient for Vichy is their Thermal Spa Water. It is said to reduce irritation, strengthen skin's natural defenses, and provide free radical–quelling activity thanks to its trace minerals and salt. There is no substantiated proof to support these claims, save for a somewhat primitive chart Vichy provides to show this water helps reduce cutaneous signs of irritation (what it was compared to, if anything, is unknown). Two other L'Oreal-owned brands, Biotherm and La Roche-Posay, have similar special waters, each claiming to be mineral-rich. Yet if these are so unique and wonderfully beneficial for everyone's skin, why don't all L'Oreal-owned lines such as Lancome, L'Oreal, Kiehl's, SkinCeuticals, and The Body Shop, use them, too?
As expected, there are some bona fide winners among Vichy's products, but using Vichy exclusively with the expectation that their products have the answer to whatever your skin needs to have fixed is like thinking green tea is the only food your body needs.
Note: Vichy is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Vichy does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

I bought this products after reading so many good reviews along with Paula's GOOD rating for this product but turned out it was too drying for my oily/combo acne prone skin even though I only used tiny amount so that but still It dried out my skin completely and I had to put lot of moisturizer afterwards. I returned it back and won't be buying it again. It shows different products works differently for each skin. If one product works for other doesn't mean it would work for me too.

The annual event will last through Sunday, but today focused on students and the story about those who inhabited the area before the Europeans arrived on this continent.
"Sponsored by the Friends of Red Clay and the Native American Services of Tennessee, the event will include traditional dancers, storytelling, living history demonstrations and more," according to Shannon Ashford, communications officer for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. "In addition to musicians and dancers, the festival will feature craftspeople selling their wares and handicrafts at various vendor booths, along with a number of games and activities for the whole family."
The festival is free and open to the public Saturday and Sunday, with a $5 parking fee per vehicle or motorcycle. Activities will begin at 10 a.m. each day.
James F. Corn III is planning on attending. He said he is currently working his way down the Eastern U.S.
His grandfather was an advocate who worked to preserve the history of Red Clay.
Corn is an advocate with the Friends of Red Clay.
"We invite everyone to come visit and come see the new, priceless collection of Native American artifacts in the Col. James F. Corn Interpretive Center at Red Clay," said James Corn III.
"Red Clay's 2012 Pow Wow is a great opportunity to educate families and students about Native American history and the key role it played in shaping Tennessee," said Carol Crabtree, park manager. "The festival is a way to preserve this heritage for future generations, and we have a talented roster of artists, performers and craftspeople on hand for this year's event."
Native American arts and crafts will be demonstrated and sold throughout the event and traditional and festival foods also will be available, along with some old favorites, officials noted.
Park visitors are encouraged to bring a blanket or chairs, along with sunscreen and protective sunglasses.
For more information and specific event times and activities at Red Clay's 2012 Pow Wow, please call the park office.
Red Clay State Historic Park is located in the extreme southwest corner of Bradley County, just above the Tennessee-Georgia state line, and is the site of 11 of the last 12 Cherokee Council meetings before the infamous Trail of Tears. The park encompasses 263 acres of narrow valley and forested ridges and features picnic facilities, a loop trail and amphitheater. The park also contains a natural landmark, the Blue Hole Spring, which arises from beneath a limestone ledge to form a deep pool that flows into Mill Creek. The Cherokee used the Blue Hole Spring as their water supply during council meetings.
In 2009, the Eastern Band and the Cherokee Nation came together at Red Clay to hold the 25th Joint Council meeting.
For more information about the park, please visit www.tnstateparks.com/RedClay/.

Corey Peters has no problem admitting that Kentucky's season is on the line Saturday at Vanderbilt.
The Wildcats take a 5-4 record into the game and need one more win to become bowl eligible. However, Peters knows the Cats need to win at least two of their remaining three games against Vanderbilt, Georgia and Tennessee to assure themselves of a fourth straight bowl bid.
"Our season is on the line. That is fair†said Peters Monday. "There is no guarantee you go to a bowl game with six wins based on how other SEC teams are also doing. We have three games left and I think we need to win them all to consider our season a success.â€Â
Peters knows Kentucky put its season in jeopardy when it let a lead against Mississippi State slip away two weeks ago and lost at home to the Bulldogs.
"It was a home game we were favored to win. A win would have put us in great position,†Peters said. "We had people, myself included, who did overlook Mississippi State a little bit. We had already counted it as a win. But now we have to move on and get over it.â€Â
That's the attitude Kentucky coach Rich Brooks says his team better have against Vanderbilt even though the Commodores have won only two games this year.
"I don't think it does anybody any good two games removed to be thinking backwards,†Brooks said.
He also says it does no good to think of Vanderbilt as a guaranteed win, either.
"I don't know when it was an automatic win for Kentucky. It never was,†Brooks said. "Sometimes perception and reality are two different things when it comes to this series. It has been a very, very competitive series historically.â€Â
Brooks noted how UK lost at Vanderbilt by 10 points in 2003 and then won the next four games by a combined 25 points. Last year Vanderbilt won by seven points in Lexington.
"This is a series and a game that has been as close as it can be year in, year out,†Brooks said.
Peters knows Vanderbilt would like nothing better than to spoil UK's season by knocking off the Cats and derailing UK's bowl chances.
"They are dangerous. I think they can play loose. They did against Florida. They have nothing to lose. They are playing to spoil things for other teams,†Peters said. "But we may feel we owe them something from last year, too. That left a bad taste in our mouth. That was a game we should have won and didn't.
"All I know is that we need to finish strong. We can still win seven or eight games. We have a lot of injuries, but that's no excuse. We can finish on a strong note if we play the way we can and we know that. But we also know you can't just put this game down as a win. They always play us tough and they have played some good teams really tough this year. It's just up to us to make sure we get this win.â€Â

( just because they are adding "postings" restrictions does not take away the abuses. ) however, i didn't mean to give the idea that there shouldn't be fringe benefits for workers....it just when the levels changed those that "paid" & are denied - there should be interventions. nor did ever thought those taking advantage of , have any intentions of doing wrong. i was suggesting that the numbers of incidents-and the type of things some of the things they are doing...dvc should already be responding with corrective actions. when i look @ the problems being posted, wow...i like to be an insider where i could do some changes. from my observations, the solutions are endless. at the very least, there should be a separate group that do not have any conflict of interests. the big picture for me, is this only pertains to our vacation dollars. while we enjoy our vacations, there are more important matters. i also have interests in the things effecting our country well-being. the major problems we have are concerning to the directions we are currently using. but for all the problems effecting our well being, there are solutions if "real" problem solving is added. things that can promote health & success, are the same things we already know. but they do no good when they are ignored or forgotten. reader digest did a great story about cheating in college. it has more value than most recognize....think about roles that we depend on....like a doctor, that never learn their trade...& are making life & death decisions?

It seems you feel that DVD/DVC is in control of this forum, I do not believe that's the case. Assuming you're referring to the fact that DIS does not allow postings outside the DVC rules, there are other reasons. I assume there are at least 2 reasons, preventing encouraging others to violate the rules and those type of threads tend to get testy quickly. I would appreciate it if you spell out the "ongoing problems with DVC management" and the areas where you think there are inappropriate abuses of the system. I just don't see it. There certainly are things I would change were I in charge but to be honest, most are system oriented aimed at cost/fee saving and not individual member friendly otherwise. Having read your posts over the past few years I remain convinced you see problems and conspiracies where there are none. My guess/impression is it stems from some misunderstanding related to your purchase and you're still bitter about it.

DVC/DVD/Disney does not control our forums in any way. The moderators and webmasters (all volunteers) work together to establish and enforce our posting guidelines and we do review and comment on them "off stage" whenever one of us feels like any of them need to be changed or clarified. As far as the Rent/Trade board, our posting rules were on every DIS DVC related board for several months and open to all comments before taking effect in February 2010. There has only been one minor change since that time, the addition of the gold and premium payment options.
As far as posts suggesting/discussing ways to bypass established and published DVC rules, that rule has been in place almost as long as I've been a moderator on these forums. And wouldn't it be a disservice to all fellow DVC Members to have a forum that would say how to sneak additional guests over the stated occupancy into the rooms, how to cheat on the Dining Plans (especially as the plans are completely optional) and so on? As far as walking a reservation, I personally do not like the practice, but there is nothing in the current DVC booking rules that forbids it, nothing that forbids renting (in fact all of our documents say we have that right), nothing that forbids the use of a rental broker by a member and nothing that forbids booking rooms right at the 11 month window solely for speculative rentals. In fact, our DVC Rent/Trade board frowns on that practice, and we require the purchase of a fairly expensive membership to offer an existing booked reservation outside the 30 day window...and we further limit such offerings to 3 per 12 month period, even with the Premium level membership. I've seen nothing to indicate that Disney/DVC has not lived up to the terms of their contractual obligations to owners. I do not see evidence of Disney hoarding rooms for cash, employee use or giveaways. If you're talking about things outside those contracts, like discounts and perks, there is no questions that those can disappear at anytime. As far as RCI or II, our contracts state that having such trading options are not guaranteed, but that DVC will make every effort to maintain a relationship with a trading partner. Disney and DVC no doubt looks at what the major players have to offer, and makes their decision about which company to use based on several factors...but no matter which company they choose to trade with, DVC has to work within that company's infrastructure and trading rules. Personally, I'd like to see Member Services have less of a role in RCI transactions and for each individual member to have their own RCI membership, if desired. I also think having access to all the RCI resorts, rather than just the upper tier resorts, would be good. But the RCI/DVC interface is what it is. It is doubtful DVC would ever give members full access. The first time a member not familiar with trading were to trade to a less than desirable location, no doubt the internet would be ablaze with their complaints, demanding a refund of their DVC points and protection from DVC. Thus we have the limited selection of RCI resorts from which to choose and a DVC corporate RCI membership.

i do notice things when they keep repeating &
i am wondering why dvc are ignoring problems that are costing them/owners money? i also understand the dvc system better since coming here and paying attention. i am not discourage because there are problems but the major trends have me looking who benefiting from the neglect. i don't know it is even possible, but i wish owners could find out the qualifications of dvc workers so certain questions could be ask, to a quality assurance office- that is not connected to dvc directly. since joining, we have learn not to take them for granted. i look @ your conclusion & can see the reasoning that gave the impression. fyi, i only posted the things we experienced during our first year. please be advised - we have continue to be plagued with issues . and if you knew the implications, would change your understanding & why i haven't given dvc my confidence. i plan on being caution whenever we are using our dvc. however, that isn't to say that dvc hasn't done effective problem solving...but my goal is- in hoping- there are some administration changes so these types of problems do not happen in the first place. what a very cool idea "chuck s"..about rci, i don't have any special insights within the disney company, but i do socializing with many working for, & they have expressed disney used the "boards" here as a resource. when i think about how much i have learn here, i view this as being very savory & smart. and i am hoping they are reading this one. and finally to clear up some of the confusion i am responsible for. sorry. i thought my expressions were defined being my personal feelings on the values i rely on. they are my guides that i am using ever day. but i also "add" my professional skills , simply because they work & they are focusing on problem solving/corrective measures. ( promoting good health & well being). sometimes i have shared some of the postings with my fellow colleagues...however, just want to post...it's ok not to agreed. ...i did think it was interesting that a poster , i have never met, took it as an opportunity to insult my english. & if he didn't see it as english, wondering what other things he was seeing? ok...enough joking, but after all- psych. does it with feelings, however, on a serious observation--i 've seen this type repeated here when there are secret agenda... maybe he is dvc owner ..or just rci .....could've been a renter. nahh, with such a strong expression, i am betting he was an owner with cm powers. the thing is, one does not have the "need" to have the whole world liking them. all one really "needs" , is just to have a few others that value their well being & respecting their feelings. oh, don't know too much about the rci resorts, but some co-workers expressed some pia conditions @ las vegas. like extra charges for using any of the facilities-pool & so forth. i like to share my view on faith. isn't that what one truly feels inside their heart?

It is clear you think that there is something wrong with how DVC does its business and that you attribute it to intentional wrong doing. However, without you giving very specific examples with all the information clearly stated a discussion concerning them is pointless. FB

I have questions and comments inside the quote (that I've edited to be clear about what I am referring to with my questions/comments).
With that last paragraph I quoted, please, what are you talking about? You are the one I've seen consistently hinting at things, hinting at agendas, wondering who people are, etc. Now it seems you are saying that others make those hints? Who are you talking about that might be an owner, might be RCI, might be a renter? I don't understand. Like Dean, I continue to read your posts because I want to understand. From what I've gleaned, your family and mine joined at around the same time. I had a great guide, but I don't think you did. We've had problems (that I've talked plainly about a lot LOL, and some don't feel we've actually had problems) but we don't distrust the system; you've had mysterious problems that you hint at. We would LIKE to know about them, specifically. It would help to understand the problems and where you're coming from. Also, your first reply to this was about how DVC isn't stopping naughty things from happening. But so many of the posts here, after explaining what the fee is and when it would be collected, talked about how RCI probably *would* catch such a rental and put a stop to it. Just because we see a rental offered doesn't mean the person who goes to check-in at the hotel will be allowed to check-in, if it's not a bonafide reservation done right. Just like we have no right to know what a CC company does when they catch fraud on our account (b/c they are compensating us, and it's not our money being taken), we have no right to know what RCI and DVC does with people being naughty. Since we have no right to know it, we don't end up knowing it. But just because we don't see it happening doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm sure they catch problems all the time. We just aren't privy to the information.

I want to advertise in the newspaper, real estate mag's or online to attract potential NYC buyers. Does anyone have experience with doing so? I am a FSBO and Am listed on the MLS for Middlesex/Monmouth County and on Realtor.com but need to target NYC buyers. Our house is 50 minutes outside New York City with trains and buses nearby. I would estimate 60-70% of our development works in NYC.
Thanks for your help,

Try the Sunday New York Times real estate section. |
How about in Brooklyn or Bayonne. I have had a few peole from both. A couple found our house on realtor.com yesterday late afternoon and called to see if they could come in. My knee jerk was you need an appt., but I questioned their situation including pre approval and than asked them for 15 minutes to ready my already staged home. I figured if were serious buyers they would wait and they did graciously with two toddlers in the car. Turns out they have a two family in bayonne and want to rent their half. They have friends in the area and like it. With Two young children they have outgrown thier space. They loved the house and yard, were very nice people. They spent 45 minutes and I will follow up this week. So glad I made ourselves available! |
Our agent did targetted ads on Facebook--not exactly sure HOW you do that, but I understand you can target for age, geography, whatever, so your ad pops up along the side of their Facebook page when they open it. Honestly, I think that's one of the things that helped sell our house quickly. |

All you really need is to be in the MLS and priced right and then anyone who is really serious about buying will find you. The priced right is the key though. No use in being in the MLS priced too high. No amount of advertising anywhere will ever make up for that. |
NY Times for Manahatten folks....and as your area is very popular with Staten Islanders,the Staten Island Advance (SILive.com) is also a good bet. That said, in the end, the MLS is the way to go. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] CHINA/US/ECON - Chinese chamber of commerce strongly opposes U.S. Senate's yuan bill

BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- The China Chamber of International Commerce
(CCOIC) on Thursday joined the opposition to the U.S. Senate's passage of
a bill that would pressure China to revalue its currency, saying the bill
is "unfair."
This latest reaction from China comes two days after the U.S. Senate
passed the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act in a vote of 63 to
The passage of the bill "is not fair" and "seriously violates relevant
World Trade Organization (WTO) rules," said the CCOIC in a statement.
The CCOIC has served as the National Committee of the International
Chamber of Commerce (ICC) since China'a accession into the ICC in 1994.
The U.S. bill disregards the facts and aims only to divert attention from
its domestic unemployment, the CCOIC said, adding that the bill will by no
means solve the American savings deficiency, trade deficit and high
unemployment rate.
The legislation has badly undermined the Chinese businesses confidence in
the U.S. because it comes at a time when China is increasing its imports
from the United States at an average rate of 17 percent annually and
boosting its investment in America, said the CCOIC.
By politicizing the exchange rate issue, the bill has increased the
difficulty for the U.S. to reduce its unemployment rate and hinders the
normal development of bilateral trade, said CCOIC.
"Chinese businesses have helped create thousands of jobs through its
operations and procurements in the U.S., but the passage of the bill has
forced us to reconsider the investment environment in America," the CCOIC
The CCOIC has called for the U.S. administration, the Congress, as well as
people with of vision from all walks of life to take effective measures to
prevent the exchange rate issue from escalating and stop trade
To help the world's economic recovery, the U.S. must work with the Chinese
government and businesses to safeguard a fair international trade
environment, said the CCOIC, adding that the bill threatens to punish
China for alleged currency manipulation, including the imposition of
retaliatory tariffs.
Before the bill becomes law, it would have to clear the House of
Representatives and then be signed by President Barack Obama.

I received a postcard today advertising their new store, opening soon in San Diego!
Ohboyohboyohboy! Penzys! Smiles,
Follow-Up Postings:
Sooz that is just tacky! I am so envious. We have one in the entire state of TN and it is on the other end of the state. Good for you! jude |
I'm jealous. Here are a few things they do well; I'm still exploring their stuff, so others may wish to chime in with their favorites: Arizona Dreaming is a not-very-hot but very flavorful chipotle-based spice blend. Great on everything from fish fillets to burgers to chicken. Salt free, too. Sunny Spain is their salt free Lemon Pepper. I find their Granulated Garlic to be head and shoulders above the stuff you get in the supermarket. I use a lot of it in my beef jerky recipes. Bon Appetit! |
I love going to Penzey's. If this will be your first trip to an actual store, be sure to give yourself plenty of time. The first time I went, I think I sniffed ever darn spice they had! (They have apothacary jars specifically for that purpose.) Be sure to sign up for their mailing list if you're not already on it. They are always sending free coupons attached to the catalog. Their policy is that they will honor coupons up to a year after expiry. Plus they take multiple coupons for the same item -- I get the freebies for myself, my sister and sometimes my son. They are incredibly nice there. |

I love having Penzey's local, less than 5 minutes away. While I can't necessarily tell the quality difference in all of their products, some really stand out and of course they've got a great variety. I go out of my way to buy ALL my spices there in order to support them, because I have no idea how they survive as a B&M. They've got a good-sized store in a prime location, yet I rarely see anyone in there. I find their prices to be fairly comparable with supermarket brands like McCormick, but bump up the quantity from a jar to a bag and you really save a lot. |
Sooz -- did the card say where this store is going to be located? Donna (in San Diego County too) |
Thanks for the recommendations and comments! Having a local Penzysl will save me a trip to Torrance, which I have NOT taken just because I try to avoid traffic to the L.A. area, and goodness knows there is traffic! Donna, from what I can find out, the address is 1274 University, in the Hillcrest area. One blog mentioned this address from reading the Penzys site, and it's said to be in the Hillcrest Colonnade center, taking over the old Blockbuster Video. That would make it the north side of the street, and even better, it will have a PARKING LOT in front of it--and a Cold Stone in the same center! Having a parking lot is a bonus because parking in Hillcrest needs a hunting license, just like going to SDSU with their parking problems! Smiles, |
I'm with Arley on Penzey's granulated garlic, a favorite here. We also love their smoked Spanish paprika for many things, from pot roast to popcorn. Toasted onion bits are really nice too. And, and, and... |

Well, look at that, a Penzey Frenzy! :) I'm a little jealous. The nearest Penzey's is 5+ hours away. We live in an abiss here. No Penzey's, no Whole Foods, no Trader Joes. Enjoy! |
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Thu, Jun 14, 12 at 22:44
WAAAAAAHHHH!!! I drove by that 5-minute-away-Penzeys this evening and it's...gone. Must have been very recent. As you can surmise by my previous post, I'm not at all surprised. The good news is I checked their web site and it appears they've not closed but rather moved. Now they're 20 minutes away, but in a trafficky area I don't like going to if I can avoid it. Oh well, things could be worse. I'll still try to go there and support them. |

Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream is a lightweight but still substantially moisturizing cream for normal to dry skin. There are many good plant oils in this product, but their stability will be compromised due to jar packaging. As for the claims, Elemis says this "increases skin's oxygen levels by 41%," which is said to help with "dermal respiration." That's utter nonsense. Not only is there no way to measure it, but also there would be problems for skin if it were actually true. First, if this moisturizer really could increase skin's oxygen levels, that would be bad, because you'd essentially be increasing the amount of free-radical damage to skin (in an effort to look younger—talk about irony!). Second, the dermis (skin's deeper layer) isn't affected by moisturizers like this, and it doesn't "breathe," at least not in the respiratory sense where an influx of oxygen could be beneficial or necessary to maintain balance.
Developed with the revolutionary Padina Pavonica, this luxury, moisture rich night cream is clinically proven to help increase oxygen levels in the skin and assist the skin's natural regeneration process. After 28 days usage, the skin's oxygen levels are increased by up to 41%*, to help accelerate dermal respiration. Containing Laminaria Digitata and Red Coral, the tell-tale signs of premature ageing are delayed, whilst the skins' natural collagen network is supported, helping to promote skin elasticity and hydration.
Water, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Isononyl Isononanoate, Lauryl Laurate, Ethyl Macadamiate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Hull Powder, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil Unsaponifiables, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil Unsaponifiables, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil Unsaponifiables, Padina Pavonica Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Acacia Decurrens Absolute, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Hexapeptide-9, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl Alcohol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance (Parfum), Methylparaben, O-Cymen-5-Ol, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Ethylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Linoleate, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Propylparaben, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Tocopherol, Citronellol, Malic Acid
Elemis products are sold at upscale department stores, such as Nordstrom, and in select spas. The company describes itself as having the most successful professional spa and anti-aging range of products in the world—quite a boast, especially considering that we've never seen Elemis listed on any review or comparison of the financial status of cosmetics companies, and we review that sort of information frequently. I'm comfortable wagering that Aveda, Darphin, Decleor, Sisley, Sothys, or even Yon-Ka have greater sales than Elemis each year, but we suppose they're hoping the fiduciary boast helps establish their credibility stateside. Even if their numbers were accurate, popularity does not necessarily equate to quality; cigarettes and getting a tan are still popular, and both are terrible for skin.
Just like every spa and salon line we've ever reviewed, Elemis uses the exact same approach to skin care that their competition does—touting the miraculous properties of essential oils and the benefits of aromatherapy. Of course, Elemis wants you to believe that their blend of nature and science is the only way to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free for as long as possible. As is true for many lines, Elemis has followers, and some of the customers we overheard at our local Nordstrom store were excited about this line. One woman actually commented to her husband: "Look, honey, these are the products used in that expensive spa we went to, so they must be good!" Although we really wanted to tell her that spa products and price tags have nothing to do with formulary excellence, we kept my mouth shut; we get in enough trouble at cosmetics counters as it is.
On first glance we weren't real enthused about this line, and after extensive review and researching their products, we are even less enthused, plus a bit irritated at the paucity of value represented. For the most part, this is nothing more than an average collection of products whose elitist spa positioning allows them to get away with charging an exorbitant amount of money for products that cannot possibly do what they say. Even worse, they may hurt your skin in the process due to the irritating fragrant plant extracts they contain. As expected, sun protection as part of daily skin care is given little attention (their daytime moisturizers top out at a whopping SPF 7), while there are numerous moisturizers and serums claiming to increase skin's dermal respiration, oxygenate tissues, and make inelastic, sagging skin a thing of the past. If you're the type to fall for such false promises and want plants galore, there's not much else we can say to keep you from exploring this line. But if you're skeptical and concerned chiefly with getting the best possible skin care for your needs (and dollars), then Elemis is a line you can safely and absolutely ignore (if you want to splurge there are far better options).
Falling for the Elemis spa trappings, potent fragrances, and "we're-imported-so-we're-better" philosophy won't provide your skin with the litany of ingredients it needs to function at its peak and to resist signs of aging that can be legitimately addressed with state-of-the-art products.

2012 Will See Start of Digital Radio Across France
Paris - Mar 14, 2012 - France's Higher Audiovisual Council (CSA) will facilitate the introduction of digital radio across France in 2012, nearly four years after issuing a call for organizations to apply for licenses.
The rollout will be done in two stages: First, across Paris, Nice and Marseilles, permission will be granted among the nearly 100 applicants dating back to 2008. Second, applicants will be solicited from another 20 cities across France. The CSA estimates that these 23 cities across the country will provide coverage for about 50 percent of the population.
The CSA also expects to adopt an additional standard, DAB+, in addition to the previously adopted T-DMB standard.
The launch of digital radio in France is part of the 2007 law on the modernization of audiovisual broadcasting, but no dates were specified. Large private radio stations were said to be opposed, mainly because of the capital costs involved. There may be more to the story though; according to Rachid Arhab of the CSA, "Only 30 percent of the French people get 10 radio stations, or more. Digitalization will allow all of France to have as many radio stations as there are in Paris."
