In all reality I just love children. I love hearing about their aspirations and dreams. When a child comes into the world they have no ideas about color or the types of people they want to be. They just want to be involved. If you take a kid to a field, he just goes out there and runs and wants to have fun. That's what inspired me to do it."

I was looking for a better night cream and decided to try this based on the great reviews, which were not wrong. Good stuff, light, but still rich and sinks in well. Light smell that I barely notice and lovely texture. I use this at night after cleansing, toning and serum (also by Olay). I find that it is not greasy but still substantial enough for me to wake up to lovely, smooth and soft skin. I typically have normal skin with a slightly oily chin and slight breakouts maybe once a month, more if I'm stressed. Since using this I have not had any extra clogged pores or acne that could be traced back to this. Price for this is great and you get a ton of product. I have been using this for about 2 months and have only used maybe 15% of it. I do wish it came in a pump, but since it is thicker than a day cream I can see why it is in screw cap packaging. I will totally be repurchasing this.

My HG! I love the smell, the texture, the feeling and look of my skin when I wake up. I've tried all the fancy expensive brands (wanted some anti-aging action!), but I keep coming back to this one, my skin feels hydrated, comfortable and looks rested.
(By the way I'm using the Olaz, so the European version)
Love this night cream. I was using Avon Basics as my go to cream for the past 3 or 4 years but found that it was very watery and didn't have give me enough moisture. This night cream is great - it is thick and really soaks into your skin. My face is so soft now. It really replenishes the moisture in your face after a shower or a face cleanse. I will definitely be buying this again and again.
I like this cream, it has a pleasant texture and moisturizes the skin without leaving it greasy in the morning. It's not expensive either. I will carry on buying this cream
I've been using Olay for over twenty years, and the night cream is the best I've ever used. It is thick, not too perfumey, and sinks into your skin. I put a thick layer on my face and neck before I go to bed and it melts into the skin and does not feel greasy. I don't break out from it, and in the morning I feel soft and smooth. I am 47 and have been told I look 27. I think that's due to my genes, but also the fact that I've used Olay products since my twenties!! Love it, NEVER change it!!
I use this stuff day and night and I love it. It's the only moisturizer I've used that hasn't broken me out and my skin looks amazing because of it! It hydrates my skin, and doesn't make it feel greasy at all. I've been using it for ages and still have tons of it left but when I need to I'll be buying this again for sure.
This is a great cream. Even though it feels a bit thick and heavy when you first apply, it absorbs instantly! It doesn't feel greasy at all. I wake up with very soft, hydrated skin that isn't too oily. Very good product!
This is a great night cream and the price is fantastic considering that it has some great ingredients! The only thing I don't like about it is that it comes in a pot which is not very hygenic. Apart from that it's a good moisturizer that doesn't break out my skin with pimples.
This is my HG! I use it in the evening and in the morning. This is great for blemish prone skin. It's light, also found it worked well on my dry patches as well as controlling the oil on my face. Normally I get acne on my chin form other moisturizers (tried thousands of them - chanel, dior, vichy. EL, nivea etc). This one doesn't break me up on my chin :-) Love it!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the European version (Olaz) of this because I'm in Europe for a year and I was in the train station and needed something. The ingredients are the same as Olay. I agree this is a really great cream and you wake up feeling refreshed and restored. I gave it a 4 because I don't really know why; the package makes few claims. I think it might be the niacinamide that wakes up my skin. I don't know, but it is a powerful drug when taken orally. When I was a teenager I took A, C, and niacin by prescription for acne and it did make my skin look better. Maybe it does something when applied topically. I'm going to buy another one because I have to travel and don't want to carry it around. It is cheap, 6-7 euro, when you figure Vichy, a popular pharmacy brand in Europe can cost 3-4 times as much.

WASHINGTON - The White House says the latest proposal from House Republican leaders for reopening the government and extending the nation's borrowing cap is a partisan effort to appease tea party conservatives. It praises bipartisan negotiations in the Senate as a good-faith effort to end the partial government shutdown and avoid an economy-shaking default.
The White House also announced it will meet with House Democratic leaders Tuesday afternoon as negotiations continue and a deadline to raise the debt ceiling moves ever closer.
White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage says a proposal from House GOP leaders that would attach health care law changes to shut-down and debt ceiling measures is a, quote, "partisan attempt to appease a small group of tea party Republicans who forced the government shut down in the first place."

Holy Bread: The unleavened host
There are events in your life that are burnt on your consciousness and for many Catholic children one of them is the day of their First Holy Communion. Trying to swallow a dry wafer with a dry mouth is not easy for a child, especially with all eyes on you. We hear tales of First Communion and find out the role, history and significance of that most ordinary of foods, bread, in the Catholic tradition.

The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, 'Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me'. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, 'This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself.
This is Paul's version, 2nd Cor the one used in the Eucharist, sacrament, communion, whatever Christian denomination wants to call it. Only in the Catholic Church are the elements supposed to become the actual body and blood of Christ, therefore can only be partaken in the body of the church. Now I've got a huge problem with this for three major reasons, it is of Paul who is the very embodiment of bigotery, chauvanism, coercion, self loathing, and very pro Rome. Second problem is ritual. To me the real Jesus totally eschewed ritual, that it was hollow, empty, meaningless and futile. He plucks analogies out of Nature, the birds of the air, trees, clouds etc. Third the above text is full of threats, guilt and damnation. Is this LOVE???
The last supper was, I believe a Caucus, to give Judas a chance to make a challenge for the leadership. He is making his case and hit's way below the belt, saying. "What about John the Baptist, eh Jesus." "I wonder just how Herod knew his whereabouts, nothing to do with you I suppose'.. (Barbara Threiring reckons that John had the blood line for the (provisional) High Priesthood based at Qumran, so by John being executed by Herod, Jesus automatically became provisional High Priest and King). In actual fact it was Judas who betrayed John's whereabouts knowing that Jesus would be blamed as he had most to gain. John first then Jesus
Jesus, a bit drunk and thinking about how kings used to be eaten when they died, tears steaming down his face at being so utterly alone because of the mistrust of everyone present, crocodile tears as far as Judas is concerned, a great act. He's going to turn supergrass in court and they'll all be arrested and executed. His hand shaking violently, Jesus rips a piece of bread apart and says sarcastically, 'This is my body'. Then he gulps down the whole glass of wine and croaks, 'and this my blood.' They all look at each other nonplussed and whisper 'What's he mean?' Nothing really. It's hopeless. Everything he says, every gesture has to have some hidden esoteric meaning. Oh, to have just ONE friend. Who needs disciples? He's going to HAVE to die to demonstrate that he CAN be trusted, absolutely. If only there was some way out, some sliver of hope, but of course there isn't. -

No good checking this link now as I have just discovered that Geraldine has removed the whole lot of them, about 15, leaving no trace that they were ever there.
I'm absolutely shattered. The ironic part about this is that I have INFINITE respect for the man Jesus that I have spent 50 years working out with so much torment.

When I was a Baptist and about to take communion and the minister was intoning about first examining oneself in case one ate and drank unworthily, I'd think "That's me". I thought I should get up and leave. But everyone there would think, "What's he got on his conscience" not realizing that they were all in the same boat, as was the bloody minister. So I say to myself "I'll ask God to forgive me and rededicate myself right here and now." "Yeah, and that's what you said last week and the week before and the one before that."
Come Monday each time I'd be back boozing, swearing, lusting after the flesh etc. The batteries were dead flat. "My spirit shall not always strive with the man." "He who hardeneth his heart shall suddenly be cut off and that WITHOUT remedy." "Who turneth again unto the flesh puteth the salvation of Christ unto an open shame." I was plunging down into the pit of psychosis and alcoholism. "A dog turned unto it's own vomit"
I had finally committed the unpardonable sin and was already in Hell, completely insane thanks to Paul who my mom had named me after.

The Veterinary Pet Insurance Company reported that canine ear infections were the #1 health reason owners took their dogs to a Vet in 2009. As a general rule, a dog with floppy ears requires more care than upright ears, due to the lack of proper air circulation. These ears can play host to mites, bacteria, yeast and fungus, which are the sources of infection.
Does your Shih Poo rub or scratch its ears? Does he or she shake its head often? These are common signs of an ear infection. Others are:
- Odor or discharge from ear
- Swelling or redness of ear flap
- Tenderness or pain of ear when touched
Causes of ear infections in dogs:
- Water in pet's ears due to bathing
- Hair growing in pet's ears and not removed
- Warm, moist environment of floppy ears
- Ear mite infestation
- Presence of a tumor in ear canal
- Skin allergies
Please call and see your Vet if you suspect your Shih Poo's ear is infected. This infection is painful and needs medical attention! Treat early before it worsens. Your Vet will thoroughly examine both of your dog's ears using an otoscope. Dogs' ear canals are L-shaped. During this exam your Vet will check the eardrum, the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear areas.
Outer ear infection = very common and less severe; symptoms red, tender, odor and discharge
Middle and inner ear infection= less common but more severe; often becomes worse and sometimes is not curable
- Severe infection can cause facial nerve problem called otitis media.
- Untreated ear infection often leads to sarcoma, which is a tumor that forms in the ear canal.
- Whenever inner ear damage, deafness occurs.
Puppies often have ear mites.
Older dogs sometimes develop tumors.
If caught early, ear infections can be treated easily with antibiotics and/or ear drops given by your Vet. Be sure to keep your follow-up appointment with your Vet! Why? Canine ear infections can be stubborn and the ears may still be infected. Follow directions carefully on your Shih Poo medications to prevent recurring ear infections. Do not skip a treatment.
Ask your Vet to recommend an ear cleaning solution for you to gently clean your dogs ears every two to four weeks as needed. This will help prevent infections. Use a cotton ball soaked in the solution to clean the ear flaps and inside. DO NOT USE Q-TIPS OR GO DEEP! The ear is tender and infections are painful. Clean the ears gently until the cotton ball comes clean, and then dry carefully.
Also, have your professional groomer routinely check and clean the ears and remove any hairs in the ears to prevent infections.
Please clean and check your Shih Poo's ears regularly. Have you ever had an ear ache? It is no fun.

"In the PR world, this is considered 'going rogue,' but I'm too excited to contain it. This is real & dropping soon." Tweeted one Tony Hawk earlier today, either kicking off his game's hype machine or prematurely shitting all over it. And just to prove he wasn't talking out of school, he went ahead posted this picture too:
Above: We doubt Mr. Hawk had much time to learn Photoshop in between breaking records and winning X Games medals, so this is probably authentic
The game looks to be Tony Hawk 2, but it's hard to argue that any of the early THPS games would be a perfect fit for Apple's platform. Below you can see a shot unobscured by the hands of a millionare and it looks like the the classic button configuration is good to go... although the lack of shoulder buttons would presumably make Reverts and other moves in the later THPSs difficult or impossible.
Above: A return to form
OOooo, and would the iPhone's accelerometer control rail balance? Could we play HORSE with friends over Wi-Fi? Will the world still tolerate a ska soundtrack?! I'd expect an answer to these questions and more very soon.

Tom Reid
Tom Reid graduated from Oberlin in 1980 and never (really) left. He now teaches Bowling, leads the Keglers, and runs the Cat and College Lanes.
Has a distinctive, story-telling, sorta-stream-of-consciousness way of speaking to a class.
Contents |
Personal Life
Tom is a big fan of bluegrass. Over the years has developed a love for semi-improv - he's appeared in several shows. He once cameo'd in a Piscapo's Arm show and decided it was in character to strip down to his boxer shorts on stage.
Of course, he's a great bowler, too — Tom has by far the most high scores listed on the walls of the Lanes.
Tom is married to a fellow Obie and has two kids.
"Uh, what's the past tense of squeeze? You squoze the bread."
"I told you that to tell you this..."
"I'm a little weird, as you might have noticed..."
(During a bowling exercise)
Reid: "So do anything you can to distract them, short of actually touching them."
Student: "So no tripping?"
Reid: "Well, if he's already dosed, there's not much we can do..."
Tom Reid is one of my two favorite professors. His lectures are hilarious. Bowling 1 and 2 were the most fun two credits I got at Oberlin. —alxndr 20:10, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
Tom is a wonderful man and an incredible coach. I feel truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with him when I was a student at Oberlin. -Justin H, '04 —220.127.116.11 (20:38, 12 September 2008EDT)

Nov 24th 2009 4:37AM Found this nifty macro for targeting turkeys, especially in dense forest areas (Like Elwynn)
/tar Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
You need to be in a group. It targets the nearest turkey and puts a star raid target on it, so you can see it through the trees. If it doesn't target anything or targets a dead turkey, mount up immediately and run to a new spot nearby, and spam the macro. Got my achievement on the first try after using it :) No tracker snacks required!

Hi, folks.
My company is in the a segment of the hunting industry. As part of our business, we provide consulting services to landowners in the lower-48 states who wish to develop their properties for wildlife. We are in the process of trying to upgrade our technological capabilities. Specifically, I am trying to locate one thing and get advice on a second.
First, I am trying to find a source through which I can obtain relatively current aerial or sattelite photos of rural properties anywhere in the lower 48 states. The source could be through subscription, per-item payment, etc. I have tried sources such as Terreserver, but some of the photos there are as much as 20 years old, especially in more rural areas, which are exactly the areas I'm interested in. I have also tried Google Earth, but rural shots there are also too high-altitude and of insufficient detail; it's my understanding that many of these photos are old, declassified Russian sattelite photos, and so they offer more-detailed photos of some rural areas, in the Midwest for example, for obvious reasons. However, neither source, and in fact no source I've found, has broad coverage with detailed photos that are no older than 2 years.
Second, I am looking for software that would allow me to download the aerial photos and then overlay wildlife plans and then print them out in photo-quality up to poster sized for customers.
I know that quite a few folks here are less-technologically-challenged than I, and that many of you have special insight and experience into sources of such data, and I would deeply appreciate any guidance you could offer.
Kindest regards,

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
9 The LORD rules over all. He says to me, "People gather the few grapes that are left on a vine. So let Israel's enemies gather the few people who are left alive in the land. Look carefully at the branches again. Do it like someone who gathers the last few grapes." | 9 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again, like one gathering grapes." |

Lorina Flexi Mullen Mouth Pelham
The Mullen Mouth (straight bar) Flexi Nylon pelham is one of the least severe of all the pelhams. The lack of joint in the mouthpiece removes the nutcracker action and the bar is slightly curved to help alleviate tongue pressure. The mullen mouth pelham is good for horses that are reluctant to take the contact in a french link or jointed pelham. The nylon flexible mouthpiece is very gentle on the horses mouth.

(RNS) In a surprise announcement that seemed scripted by the novelist Dan Brown, a Harvard professor revealed an ancient scrap of papyrus on Tuesday (Sept. 18) that purports to refer to Jesus' wife.
The so-called "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" presents a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples, said Karen King, a respected historian of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School.
The fourth-century fragment says, "Jesus said to them, 'My wife …,'" according to King. The rest of the sentence is cut off. The fragment also says "she will be able to be my disciple," according to King.
The discovery that some ancient Christians thought Jesus had a wife could shake up centuries-old Christian traditions, King suggested.
But even King acknowledged that questions remain about the receipt-sized scrap, which contains just 33 words and incomplete sentences. Here are five of the biggest questions.
