It is only a matter of time before Major League baseball teams take the "assistant hitting coach" thing to its illogical conclusion. Hitting instructors everywhere! In the trees, on the team plane, everyone a hitting instructor!
While the every smart front office looks for an edge which keeps their players producing at maximum output all the time, there might just be a more efficient way to get hitting tips and tricks through to the players: let them teach each other.
That is exactly what happens every day in every big league clubhouse, if we're being honest. Players get to together, talk shop, hang out, compare notes when they aren't making plans to eat enormous steaks.
Inevitably, some players are physcially capable of feats which more other humans are not. It doesn't serve much perhaps if you are an everyday regular Major Leaguer and you ask Albert Pujols or Mike Trout for hitting tips.
"How do you avoid getting burned by the slider, Mike?""I wait."
"You wait? What do you mean, you wait?"
"I wait until I'm sure it's a slider, then I don't swing."
"But that guy throws 96! Doesn't waiting that long leave you exposed to the fastball? Don't you get beat inside etc?"
"Lolnope. I'm Mike Trout!"
Hardly a productive meeting and exchange of ideas. Torii Hunter, former member of the Angels, struggled to get his timing back after returning from a brief layoff this past June. He told reporters this week that when he needed help, he didn't look within his own clubhouse, he looked to Miguel Cabrera.
"I've always been impressed with him at the plate, the way he swings," Hunter said of Cabrera. "In June, I looked at his video and it helped me out. Don't tell him that, he might get kind of pumped up. He's one of my favorite hitters in the game."
Don't tell the guy who won the Triple Crown he's good, we don't want his head swelling.
Having Miguel Cabrera standing mere feet away from him at all times is SURE to protect the 37-year old outfielder for regressing to the mean like he was shot out of a cannon aimed directly at the mean.
Most 35 and older hitters post a BABIP higher than their on base percentage, right? That's completely normal and in no way a flashing beacon of warning for Tigers fans. Nope, not at all.

Asian institutions appear to have had relatively low exposure to the latest dramatic development on Wall Street - the blow-up of investments managed by Bernard Madoff, now indicted for allegedly running a $50 billion ponzi scheme, which pays old investors with money raised from new ones.
There are exceptions. HSBC says it has exposures of up to $1 billion to clients that invested in Madoff funds, and Nomura unveiled credit and derivatives trading losses from Madoff exposures of Yen32.3 billion ($360 million) for the third quarter. Great Eastern, the insurance arm of Singapore's OCBC Bank, meanwhile, said it had an indirect exposure of about S$64 million ($44 million) to Madoff funds.
By this reckoning, Asian institutions look set to be able to comfortably manage their exposures to Madoff, as they did with their positions with Lehman Brothers. Again, the biggest negative affect looks likely to centre on the distribution of now-worthless investments to investors. For example, Lion Fairfield Capital Management, a joint venture between Great Eastern's fund management arm and Fairfield Greenwich, sold $45 million worth of funds with exposure to Madoff.
The scandal will fuel controversy as to the extent institutions choose, or - with the possible introduction of new rules - are permitted, to expose themselves and their clients to investments that lack transparency. Which may, in turn, put further pressure on the beleaguered hedge fund industry, as well as the structured product business.
But the ability for Asian institutions to continue to ride out the financial crisis relatively unscathed is still very much in the balance. The biggest immediate challenge is linked with the ability of companies to refinance their short- and medium-term debt. With offshore capital markets remaining closed to all but the most highly rated corporates and foreign banks unwilling - or unable - to lend, the weight of the refinancing burden looks set to fall on local banks.
Some government agencies are moving to head off problems in this area. The Bank of Japan (BoJ), for example, plans to buy up to Yen3 trillion of outstanding commercial paper (CP) to help ease the funding pressure suffered by Japanese corporates. Total outstanding CP underwritten by banks in Japan fell 15% year-on-year to Yen13.5 trillion in the last quarter of 2008, according to the BoJ.
This and other similar moves to bolster liquidity should help ease the pressure on banks. But more will be needed throughout the region, as domestic financial institutions look set to take further defensive measures by serving only their existing clients. Corporates beware.
Christopher Jeffery.

Matt De Young rails a corner on the newly-opened segment three of the Demo Flow Trail. If he looks especially dialed, it could be because De Young was one of the trail's main builders. Photo: Bogdan Marian
Big smiles accompanied the whoops and hollers as riders in the San Francisco Bay Area took their first turns riding two sections of the new flow trail that official opened in the Soquel Demonstration State Forest near Santa Cruz, Calif. Sunday. Segments three and five of the new six section trail are now open for riding and can be accessed from Tractor Road, the fire road that will serve as the flow trail's backbone when it is complete sometime in 2015, according to estimates.
Although most of the trail is dirt, there are a couple bridges made from very local materials—like Santa Cruz Mountains redwood. Photo: Bogdan Marian
The two open sections got rave reviews from riders who applauded the trail's roller coaster-like flow and progressive nature. Because the trail is designed to be entirely rollable, its appropriate for beginners, as well as more advanced riders who can catch air and rail bermed corners.
CalFire's Angela Bernheisel (left) and trail builder Drew Perkins use the ceremonial loppers to cut the ribbon on the Demo Flow Trail. Photo: Bogdan Marian
The trail opening was marked by a short ceremony and ribbon cutting at the bottom of section five. Head builder Drew Perkins gave a status update, thanked volunteers and praised the cooperative atmosphere that helped get the project underway.
A casual survey of attendee photographs would indicate approval for the new trail. Photo: Bogdan Marian
Soquel Demo Forest Manager Angela Bernheisel lauded the volunteer efforts of the trail's primary advocate groups, the Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz and the Stewards of Soquel Forest. She also explained the forest's role in terms of timber management, fire suppression and recreation—three interests that work in harmony at Demo.
Handsome segment sponsor signs adorn the start of each of the newly opened trail spurs—FOX for segment three, and Epicenter Cycling for segment five. Photo: Bogdan Marian
Trail building has been suspended for the year as lack of rain and low moisture levels have made the ground difficult to work with as well as elevated wildfire danger. The Santa Cruz Mountains historically average about 50 inches of rain annually but are coming off the driest winter on record that saw the forest get half that amount and only four inches since the beginning of March. The pause in building will, however, let trail officials monitor trail wear and traffic, and make adjustments on future designs.
Other segment sponsors include Ibis Bicycles, Bontranger, Specialized and Trail Head Cyclery. Jeff and Marieke Rothschild, Shimano, Easton and X-Fusion all made donations to the project, while Mtbr, Santa Cruz Bicycles, Mick's Automotive and the Stewards of Soquel Forest each sponsored work days.
Keep it tuned to Mtbr for an update on the project and when work days will resume.

Lazey Cottage occupies lovely sea front position and overlooking the beautiful Duddon Estuary this delightful seaside cottage offers an exceptional blend of peace and tranquillity, together with immediate access to leisure activities in the village of Haverigg and beyond.
Haverigg itself is a pleasant and uncommercialised seaside village on the south west coast of Cumbria and is surrounded by miles of beautiful, uncrowded golden sandy beaches. It is just far enough away from the busier areas of the Lake District, with plenty of opportunity to explore the more out of the way parts of Cumbria, either by car or on foot, although the main attractions and lakes are never far away. Lake Windermere, Coniston and Wastwater are within a half an hour scenic drive.
Inside, the cottage has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard, creating a lovely home from home atmosphere. We keep Lazey Cottage immaculately clean.
The accommodation includes one double bedroom, one twin bedded room plus a cot (if required). There is a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, washer/drier, oven/hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. The bathroom has a bath and power shower. The lounge/dining room has Sky TV/video/DVD, CD/radio and a telephone plus a full length picture window with a lovely sea view. The cottage is fully double glazed and is centrally heated.
We now have a picture window opening onto a new balcony off the master bedroom with magnificent views over the Duddon Estuary and the Irish Sea.

One spring morning when the flowers were in full bloom and the butterflies were fluttering among them, the coyote had the urge to take a walk down through the woods by the way of a trail which animals had made. After he had gone quiet a little distance, he stopped to rest by a running stream. He took a cool drink of water.

Competition curiosity....
I am entering a competition in a month and a half and for the wedding cake division I am thinking of doing a cake with wafer paper ruffles. Has anyone done a cake in advanced with wafer paper and let it sit out? Will it dry up and crack?
Also, I absolutely love modern minimalist wedding cakes with a few things here and there, but it seems that the more ornate wedding cakes tend to win. Have you found this to be true in your experience?
I am also considering having a portion of my show cake spin electronically. How do you think judges will take this? Will this be considered as another skill? Or is having a portion of the cake rotate too over the top?

Sapphire Rugs Sapphire Floral Handmade Wool Sage Rug
Item #: D1233161-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Sapphire
- Brand: Sapphire Rugs
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Country & Floral Rugs
- Origin: Imported
- Available in the following sizes: 5' 6" Round
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
The rug was beautiful. I received the runner...sadly it was so thick (3/4") I had to return it. It is wool so it does shed. It leaves little particles all over so if this goes in a room that is swept out frequently then it's great. That is the only downfall to wool. I ordered the Mocha and everything about this rug I loved.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

The 18-year-old from Co Armagh was caught on camera performing sex acts on 24 men in a club.
It has been reported that she thought she could win a holiday from the event organisers, Carnage Magaluf, but the 'holiday' turned out to be a cocktail with that name.
According to Jay Gardner, who was making a personal appearance at the venue at the time, the girl asked if he wanted to be her "number 25". He declined.
"It's probably ... Well, it is the most shocking thing I've ever seen," he told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on Tuesday.
"It's worrying, it's frightening. And I think this sort of thing can cause psychological impacts on people. It's so extreme, the amount of people that are involved."
Particular concerns have been raised about how drunk the girl was and whether she was exploited by those taking part in events in the bar.
She's obviously done this - but there's another 24 people involved.Jay Gardner
She's obviously done this - but there's another 24 people involved.
Jay Gardner
Hundreds of people were present, yet no one appeared to intervene.
"No one at all jumped in, which again brings the question to me: 'Where were her friends?' She's obviously went on holiday with friends - where were they?" Jay asked.
"Because I think they were the people responsible to jump in."
Questions have also been asked about how "normal" such games have become among young people on holidays abroad, and whether they are really a new development or just something now more easily documented on smart phones and shared on social media.
"That was the first time I'd seen something like that," Jay said.
"But I think this has been going on for a long time in Magaluf. Magaluf has got a reputation for being like that."
Reporter Jessica Boulton went undercover in the popular holiday resort to see for herself and said that people out there admitted such games did go on, but that this case had been more extreme.
The young woman's family, who are deeply religious, are said to have been shocked by the footage.
But a friend told the Irish Mirror: "She made a terrible mistake and she has been fully forgiven. Her family love her and will protect her in their faith.
"It may be a positive thing that this story has got out because now the situation can be addressed and she can regain her strength and dignity."
They added: "She has been a victim, a target of evil, of wickedness and she has most definitely been led astray in a vulnerable moment."

For the first 12 months of your baby's life it is important to keep your baby safe from the dyes, deodorants, preservatives, and additives found in many bar soaps. Before your baby starts eating solid food, the baby's skin actually will not secrete sweat and oils with the same smell as adult sweat. In adults, sweat actually serves as a pathway of removing toxins from the body-and often those toxins can generate odors that require deodorants and other chemical treatments. Because your baby is not eating or drinking chemicals, preservatives, and other toxins that adults often ingest in prepared foods and drinks, your baby will not need bathing as much as an adult.

In fact, one of the most common causes for rashes and irritation to the skin is bathing babies too much. According to the Mayo Clinic you should only give your baby a bath with baby soap several times per week, and baby soap may only be needed in areas prone to sweat, such as under the arm and between the legs. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics makes a recommendation that babies under twelve months old be bathed only two (maximum of three) times a week for the first year. The key to keeping your babies skin healthy is not bathing your new child too much. Also, you should always be cautious not to scrub your baby's tender skin, as doing so can remove the natural beneficial oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
When you do bath your baby, you should use mild natural soap bars with limited colorants, dyes, preservatives, and other chemicals. Many companies make baby bar soap as well as liquid soaps that are specifically designed to be mild on your baby's skin, but there is no replacement for being gentle in the bath. You should use a soft sponge (preferable a natural soap sponge) with soap that has a mild lather. Too much lather may feel great on adult skin, but too many of those little cleaning bubbles can actually be harsh, removing too much of the natural oil even with minimal scrubbing.

Natural soaps are the best choice for babies and infants because they are naturally milder and have medium lather. Many natural soaps contain sunflower oil, which has been shown to improve the skin of preterm infants, who are even more prone to moisture loss and sensitive skin issues than healthy babies. Researchers at Dhaka Shishu Hospital claim "Our findings confirm that skin application of sunflower seed oil provides protection against nosocomial infections in preterm very low birthweight infants". Plus natural soap bars are better for adult and baby skin because they contain essential oils and vitamins that help to keep skin healthy.
I recommend choosing a natural soap bar, as liquid soaps either do not last long or contain preservative chemicals. When using soap bars it is important to keep the soap on a tray, so that it does not stay wet between uses, which can allow diffusion of beneficial compounds out of the soap (or worse, impurities from the surroundings into the soap). It is only best to use the bar soap just for your baby, to avoid other impurities that may build up on use soap.
Like any product for your baby, baby bar soap should be tested before use. After all, even if neither parent has allergies to a particular substance, your child can-and your baby's skin is much more sensitive to allergens than adult skin. Before use of any baby bar soap, be sure to test the are with a small amount of soap, wash completely and wait 24 hours. If a reaction occurs, do not use the soap any more-try a new soap, or gently cleanse with water or baby wipes. Most importantly, if a rash or reaction does occur, treat it properly and discontinue soap use until it heals completely.
If used properly, a natural bar soap-one without unnatural fragrances, dyes, or chemicals-is the best baby bar soap. These exist in a great number of varieties, including soaps that contain natural fragrances such as lavender or fruit extracts, cream or goats milk, and even natural cleansing materials such as oatmeal and grains. Finding the perfect soap for baby is just a step away.

Showing that Limbaugh makes his facts up or bollixes them is easier than finding leaves in a forest. Still, it is important for journalists to establish the wild inaccuracy of statements of entertainers like Limbaugh and Hannity, because their nonsense circulates so widely and many people believe what they say is backed up by actual reporting.
Kliff included simple ways for doubters to verify that she got it right and Limbaugh did not. She quotes Limbaugh's remarks and provides a link to the full transcript of his show; she also links to the Budget Control Act of 2011, while quoting the section of law that imposes a cut of up to 2 percent on Medicare.
As the budget cuts continue to take effect in the months ahead plenty of opportunities will arise for journalists in Washington and around the country to examine what actually happens—and, if need be, to push back against the fact-challenged comments of Limbaugh, Hannity, and Representative Alexander.

I have been working since I was 16. I have worked my butt off all of these years to get where I am today. I have never used any of the "entitlements" because I was taught in order to get somewhere in the world, I had to work for it. Let them get off their big fat a$$es and get a job. I am sick and tired of people telling me I am 'lucky". Luck had nothing to do with it. people make choices in their lives. I can't say I have always made the best decisions from the choices offered, but evidently I have made a few good decisions. Now after saying that, I will not pay for somebody who can work, but doesn't want to work and believes that sucking off the system using my tax payers dollars is their entitlement. Getting a house, getting a high paying job, and getting health care is NOT a right – they are privileges.
Now not only these people who are telling me I am getting too wealthy (I wish), are going to go after my 401K. They believe that everyone should have their 401K garnished and all the money put in a pool so everyone will get the same retirement. Let me tell you now. I will take out every penny regardless of the penalty and stuff it under my mattress before I will let this communist band of traitors get my money.
I am still angry about this. I am still spitting angry and realize I need to calm down a bit and until then I am pretty much useless in being logical. I want to call these people names and wish ill upon them, but that will only get in the mud with them and guess what they like it. However, I will with my voice and vote kick these people out of office.
While I am on a roll, and probably hijacking this thread (I apologize), I can only hope and pray that someone will look into barack, steve, barry or whatever his name is background. It goes further than where he was born. No one would spend over 2 million dollars fighting to not show his background if there was not something that could get him impeached – besides what he is doing now.
Oh yeah and the census. I will answer the first question and answer the rest – when obama answers, I will.

I personally do not support President Obama's economic policies, but America's middle class squeeze started in 1969, while China's middle class is growing by double digit rates, not to mention countless other emerging economies. I will not blame a birth certificate. We still live in an economic system that thrives off innovation and continues to reward the minds that conceive of this innovation.

@anticsrocks, I guess I probably did come off sounding like a Trustafarian, or Marxist whippersnapper, but trust me, it hurts me more than it hurts you. My roots are firmly fixed in middle class soil, so the idea that my kind were a naive, and self-destructive bunch was a tough pill to swallow.
But I am here to read coverage of the Healthcare passage from a Conservative perspective , and to get a feel for where contemporary Conservatives stand on political candidates and issues. Not troll, as my comment may have seemed. Sorry. I already feel culturally out of whack with most Conservatives, and I know that my sense humor is probably even further behind.

Pingback: Tweets that mention Senator Admits ObamaCare About Income Redistribution -- Topsy.com
@DannyD…fair enough. Kudos on being honest about your intentions.
I can tell you that my perspective on the health care debacle comes from a conservative point of view, and also that I am a disabled American. I was born with a heart defect and was able to work most of my adult life. Sadly now, even though I possess a Psychology degree my health precludes me from being able to work. I need a heart transplant, but because of medical reasons I cannot have one at this time. I tell all this so that it is clear that, while conservative, I am not one of those "evil rich people" that Baucus was talking about. Pretty hard to be rich when you are not able to work.
That being said, I am all for health care reform. Just not Obamacare. There is too much pork in it for it to be considered reformative. I have seen physicians practice defensive medicine and the state I live in has a shortage of OBGYNs because of the intolerably high malpractice premiums. When my daughter in law was pregnant, I went along with her on one of her prenatal checkups. I took the opportunity to ask her doctor about the shortage of OBGYNs and why it was so. She blamed the high malpractice premiums and said that she paid nearly $200,000 a year for hers. My jaw hit the floor. For there not to be tort reform in Obamacare is beyond ridiculous. It just shows that his biggest contributors are trial attorneys.
I am also for opening up insurance purchases across state lines, like auto insurance is. The more competition, the better. Health Savings Accounts would be helpful and of course tax incentives for people to purchase individual policies. As for the pre-existing condition issue, that could easily be taken care of by setting up high risk pools for folks to be insured. Happens all the time in auto insurance.
I am sure there are a ton of other good ideas that would make sense and help the free market to better serve the American public without taking it over. Too much government is never a good thing.
Anyway, there's my two cents.

@anticsrocks, thank you for sharing your two cents, I know that many Conservatives are not opposed to Health Care reform, and that 2002 saw the largest expansion since Medicare, but I didn't know precisely what their idea of reform would be. So your response was helpful in offering a bit of that. I too think that there must be other solutions but I simply don't understand the complexities of the current system well enough to think them through.

Antirocks, I am so in agreement with you – needs reforming – Get rid of greedy lawyers like John Edwards, insurance bought cheaper through States – oh notice those greedy politicians can dish out but they are exempt and so are felons (ACLU can be patted for that) and illegal aliens. Go to Houston and the illegal ignorants are lined up ready to have their felon babies and they are getting dialysis at our expense.
BO is not an American, hates America, is applauded and paid for by George Soros who got rich in America but spits on it now. Soros put in that Al FrankNStein and he is an IDIOT. A good man with thinking like Coleman lot to Al NOT SO FUNNY Franken. Damn those liberal Jewish people who voted for this thing as he spits on our ally Israel and applauds Syria who hates us.

It's not too soon to start converting your money. I did during the primary, also have spent savings to improve my house in long lasting ways, because I expect taxes, inflation, deflation and general craziness to make upgrades harder when I get older.Yes our healthcare system needs improving. It started on this slippery slope years ago, and has been patched until it is entrenched like a cancer. It would be very, very hard to make any change at all without hurting someone, but I think we need the effort right up until the whole shebang collapses. In increments so we can see their effects, there's no way to tease out the proper influences when it's such a global change. And in the meantime, take first aid courses and stock up on supplies.
I think the first thing I'd do to improve things is make more people learn some basic things about drugs and make a lot of drugs available cheap and OTC, and let people self-medicate. Some would kill themselves off; but honestly, legitimate prescriptions do a lot of damage, and at higher cost.

Before you guys put too much faith in this Danny D, you should know he accused me of being a Tea Bagger. (Tea Bagging is a perversion practiced by many of the pedophiles and homosexuals of the Left, a reason they derive perverted pleasure out of using the term to portray people of the Tea Party) A technique of the Troll is to gain your confidence and then to whittle away at your belief system. He is pond scum borne from the sewers of Socialism. Trust him and play his game at your peril.

@Skookum. I agree with you on trolls, but if I was a calculating troll I wouldnt of started out on the wrong foot here, which I did when I tried to gauge your reaction on what I took to be a rabble-rousing statement on your part.
I openly admit that I am not sure if Flopping Aces is the right place for my politics, but I know that I'm right-wing, and not Libertarian….so maybe I should figure that out first before I even post serious comments. Since finding others to be open to discussion here, I have already chosen not to comment on one post on an issue I find myself at odds with mainstream conservatives over…so I am learning.

My friends please follow my friend Kevin Jackson http://www.theblacksphere.net – he is making strides with conservativsm – made Shuster on MSNBC look foolish – liberals or lefties as they are called have no facts and just want to rant – Also another good man is Joseph Phillips (used to be on the old Cosby show) very conservative and has a great website http://josephcphillips.com/ – this is a start for men who will lead the way to make a difference – Another thing Pelosi 70 yet she condemns older generation – they worked and participated in making this country great and she has done NOTHING. She is the most arrogant piece of work.

This came from Hillbuzz, local Chicago boys:
Rep. Jan Schakowsky is the wife of convicted felon Robert Creamer, notorious Chicagoland check-kiter (whose crime spree involved bank and charitable fraud, feloniously writing bad checks on accounts in one bank, for deposit into accounts in another bank, and withdrawal from a third bank before anyone could figure out there was no real money in the accounts to move around like that).
Schakowsky was just appointed to Obama's Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. She's as stupid as a stick, doesn't matter, being a felon doesn't matter with the manchild either.
He's playing a vicious joke on this country, the country he lives in because he has to, we have running water and toilets, we had liberty and wealth, that, he finds offensive, unless of course you are in his clique….idiots, marxists, communists and criminals.

I have the color in light bronzer. Easy open compact with a button. This has three colors in it, matte light tan, a speck of shimmery golden yellow and a matte darker tan. It's wonderful and lasts. People were complimenting me on my 'tan'. It has a vented compartment on the bottom with a mirror and a brush. Took off one lippy cause the brush is bleh. As if we every use the brushes that come with these products anyway. . . ;D
I'm on the third one. I have both the light and dark shades and I like both. The brush that comes with it is useless, so I trash it and replace it with a sponge or use my own brush. The color is great and the price is right, plus spf.
LOVE P.F's bronzers. Some of the best out there. Not only is the packaging great, but the cool designs the put on there bronzers is plus. PLUS it has built in SPF?? How can u go wrong with this product!? I tan during spring/summer, but will not tan my face (Dont want wrinkles!!) so I use this to match up my face to the color of everything else. It is very nautal looking, not orange, not cakey. It's perfect. If you havent tried P.F bronzers...DO IT.
I generally use the "solar eclipse" brozer, but for fall/winter it makes me a tad to dark, and it's a little too sparkly for me. I got this for 40% off at Rite Aid, I believed I paid a little over $7. But for original retail the price is a little steep. I'll definitely keep this in my collection for fall/winter. I'm going to keep my eyes out for when it's on sale too, and possibly stock up, I also like the fact that it has an SPF, a little added bonus.
HG bronzer. I've used this for over two years. I love that it has SPF, a little extra protection never hurt anyone, it's the original reason I bought it. I'm pasty pale and was actually complimented on getting a tan when wearing this. I was personally amazed. It's very natural looking and goes on nice, although I do use my own brush, not the one included.
This bronzer comes with a cute little brush that does not work well, but it's convenient. Personally, I thought it was a bit too expensive for a drugstore brand, but I've found that it was definitely worth the price.
Pros; UVA/UVB protection, not at all chalky textured, perfect color for my pale skin. I can choose to go a little darker or a little lighter or somewhere in the middle. I love that it's got two different shades in it. Does not make me look orange or dirty which is a difficult thing to achieve on my very fair skin. It has lasted forever!
Cons; It's a little too sparkly for my liking and the plastic lid opens very easily so I'm a bit afraid to just pop it into my purse like I want to. But other than that, this is a great bronzer and when or If this thing runs out, I will repurchase.
UPDATE 2012: I've had this bronzer since '09 and JUST hit pan. I use it daily for contour because there's hardly any shimmer once you get passed the top layer. LOVE it, it's HG for me and my fair skin, will definitely repurchase in a few months when it runs out. Highly recommend it!

I've had this for years but never used it because I thought the darker portion looked too rust colored on me, and the little half moon of color in between, was too orange-y. I have self tanned forever, but my natural coloring is very fair, with yellow undertones (now rosacea on my cheeks), dk brown hair, w/med brown eyes.
I have recently decided to forgo the very tanned look i loved for many years, and embrace my paleness once again. I saw this in my stash and thought the lighter color in the compact could give me just the hint of color I was looking for, and tried to get with a very light application of my old bronzer, yet could not achieve the results I wanted.
IMO Physican's Formula needs to make a
whole compact with just this lighter shade as it is the perfect "bronzer" for pale skin! I have always loved the texture of PF powders, not too matte, but not shimmery. while I am going pale again, I really needed something to even my skin tone due to my rosacea, and hate the way a face full of foundation looks on me (no matter how lightly I applied it). I use this around the redder areas to make all my skin the same "level of color," and then some concealer on the red areas to get things even in tone. I spritz with spring water to set and (always have to "soften" my makeup,) and this looks great!
It has been a great find hiding in my old stuff, as I have never seen such a light colored bronzer elsewhere, that is really a pale tan shade. So many would find using such a shade much easier than the normal, deep tan, bronzey, and shimmery, powders out there, if they have skin as fair as mine.
I really wish I didn't have to get a new compact so soon, but the part I'm using is only about 1/4 of the total product. I love it so far and have always wanted a product like this just could never find one.

I love that this has both UVA/UVB protection. Most powder and bronzers don't have any SPF at all so that why I have decided to try this. I like the translucent color to use as a powder.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product before and i was so excited to use it. When i actually tried it on my medium colored skin, it was very hard to see the pigment and it seems like the exterior of the brozoner is all hype. I will never buy this product again....NEXT!!

Two Strategies for Picking a Direction Post-Education
What is it like trying to navigate our lives and what we want to be doing for the next 30 years or so? This does not always mean we'll be doing the same kind of work year after year. But it does mean we have to pick a direction that will satisfy us for decades. Daunting, no?
I had a Skype call last week with my friend Theresa — probably one of the happiest and most bubbly human beings I've ever met.
She was making a cup of tea in her bright apartment when I gave her a digital call to learn more about students navigating through post-secondary education. She's currently attending Royal Roads, a University in Victoria, BC that provides students with applied education that will give them practical techniques and tools required for life after post-secondary. She'd just finished one of her all-day classes when I called.
What Theresa told me was surprising:
"I have no idea what my dream job is. My teachers kept saying 'what's your dream position? Where do you want to go?' And I was like 'I don't knooooow.' Lots of people in my class were feeling that too."
Here is this bright, talented, personable, curious girl—and she has no idea what she wants to do after she's finished school. But she told me some things that made me think she's not as far from deciding as she thinks.
The 2 ways of figuring out what we should pursue in University
As Theresa moved through University, and eventually Royal Roads, she learned two major things about herself:
1. What you like to learn
Even after a couple years taking a veritable smorgasbord of classes, hoping to ignite her career interest, she found that everything interested her. Though there were a few classes that stuck out—like journalism—she didn't want to take the full major that came with that particular class. A year or so later, she tried another random non-fiction class and loved it too. A pattern was emerging.
Know that just because you didn't focus on a particular subject in school, that does not rule out elements of it as your future career.
2. How you like to learn it
Education doesn't stop when we get out of school. There's constant learning on the job. And with such a high percentage of people feeling like they are impostors (especially among women), it can feel like you're starting from the ground up with no prior knowledge. Learning how to learn is one of the main ways to make career discovery that much more enjoyable.
- Is it in intimate one-on-one chats?
- Reading a book or listening to a podcast?
- Following by example?
- Being cautious or taking risks?
- Do you require alone time or listening to big group discussion?
The next 30 years are going to pass you by no matter what you do. It can be hard to choose what you want to do— so choosing subjects that keep your attention more than others is a good place to start. Then play with how you like to learn about those things. They may be keeping you attention for longer than you thought possible.

lights up,speed limit down on graham way (seaham)
Lights Up And Speed Limit Down On graham Way (Seaham) katherine Lesley Dunning 14 year old killed on Sunday 16/12/2007 in a road accident, katherine was struck by a car on unlit road at The Graham Way when crossing the road trying to get home, this is not the first time this has happened, (Seaham) Pieces of our hearts are broken and they will never be fixed but all we want to do is try to prevent this ever happening again, Lights to be put up to stop this happening again so cars can see people crossing! And speed limit down so cars will be more careful, Help us to get the law changed surrounding a death on the road. Currently it is possible to kill someone in a car and not even go to prison. This is unfair on the victims or their families. We want the law to take into account that a person has been killed when any charges resulting from an accident arise. please help by signing this petition to get lights on graham way thank you ;

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jeeter!
Facts about Jeeter
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Jeeter's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, and good with cats.
Jeeter was seen wondering around outside for a week when a loving member of the community called to tell us that this stray kitty was declawed. He was brought into our rescue covered in ticks and a little thin but otherwise is in good health. He is fully vetted and quite the nice fellow.
Other Pets at Rescue Purrfect
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jeeter, a Bensalem Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Bensalem, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Bensalem.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bensalem already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bensalem breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bensalem paves the way for another one to be saved.

For the first six years of the Winona-La Crosse Bowling Challenge, Winona's men's team has gone in as the big underdog. And even though it pulled out its first win over La Crosse by a 177-123 margin a year ago, make no mistake about it - Winona is still the underdog.
But this year, they'll be a more confident underdog.
"It will add confidence knowing that we are able to win," said Dale Bartelson, who is teaming up with Jeff Hubbard to captain this year's team. "But at the same time, we are the underdogs each year. I say this simply because of the number of tournament bowlers their team has and because most of them bowl traveling leagues at multiple alleys in the La Crosse area. We do have a confident group and know we are able to compete."
Added Hubbard: "I just think it was important to get the monkey off our back. Nobody enjoys getting beat year after year. A team always has more confidence going into the match knowing that you've beaten your opponent before. That goes for any sport."
The seventh annual Bowling Challenge will be held the weekend of Oct. 13-14. Saturday's action kicks off in La Crosse at 11 a.m. at All-Star Lanes with the women, while the men meet at 3 p.m. at Pla-Mor Lanes. The first day of action includes singles matches and alternate-shot doubles matches.
Sunday in Winona, the men square off at 10:30 a.m. at Westgate Bowl, and the women at 2:30 p.m. at Winona Bowl. Day 2 consists of doubles matches and Baker team matches.
Something the women have found out is that every point in the event is big. Three years ago, La Crosse pulled out a 152-148 win. Last year, Winona posted a 151-149 victory. That's just how close these two teams, who have each won three times, have become.
"I have always enjoyed bowling with the La Crosse women," Winona co-captain Julie Moldenhauer said. "They are a great group. I think we are pretty evenly matched in ability so you never know the turnout before the end of the weekend. No one can walk into the competition thinking 'I know we are going to win' because of the strength of both teams. The closeness of the matches and abilities, to me, is what makes the weekend so enjoyable."
Angie Booher, the other Winona captain, agreed.
"I do feel there is a great deal of mutual respect between the two teams," she said. "There is good sportsmanship between Winona and La Crosse bowlers and friendships have been formed. I feel we all respect one another."
Both Winona teams may have new captains, but the teams have changed very little. The only newcomers to the men's team are Jeremy Wenzel and Don Boynton.
Joining Bartelson, Hubbard and Wenzel for the Winona men are Brian Fakler, Josh Wenzel, Seth Bonow, Steve Walters, Bob Prenot, Tod Walters, Nick Heilman, Brian Dunbar, Mike Durnen, John Glowczewski, Rick Prenot and Geoff Schewe. Boynton will team with Bill Bonow, Greg Schewe, Tom Donnelly and Steve Maliszewski on the senior team. Mark Walters and Bill Benedict are the alternates.
"It was difficult to make many changes," Bartelson said. "Last year we proved to have a good mix of the young guns, strong veterans and a much improved senior squad. Also, the entire team was fired up for the competition and really supported each other. Our new additions, Don Boynton and Jeremy Wenzel, are able to bowl well at multiple houses and will strengthen our team."
Lindsay Serwa is the only Winona woman who will make her debut this year. Maggie Glenn missed last year's event with a back injury, but she's ready to go this year.
Also picked to the team were Keri Prigge, Diane Marley, Krystal Dorman, Mandi Steffes, Wendy Fakler, Kim Kubis, Tina Wenzel, Shirley Benedict, Jenny Glowczewski, Laurie Wiseman and Sue Yeoman. The captains stayed with the same senior team as last year - Keri Wegman, Sue Buermann, Rose Schultz, Lynda Krall and Bev Porter. This year's alternates are Yvonne Guzman and Joy Donnelly.
"I believe each and every person on our team has the capability to beat anyone on their team no matter what their average is," Moldenhauer said. "We are all a great bunch of bowlers - La Crosse included."
Who's hot?
Lindsay Serwa turned in the top women's series of this young season on Monday night with a 669 national honor count in the Pin Topplers League at Westgate Bowl. She was one of five women to crack the 650 mark in the past week.
Wendy Fakler carded a 662 series Wednesday in the Lamplighter League at Winona Bowl, Keri Prigge rolled a 657 and Maggie Glenn added a 651 in the Sunsetters League at Westgate, and Mandi Steffes fired a 652 in the Mixers League at Westgate.
Dawn Bronk (617), Krystal Dorman (609, 601), Jenny Glowczewski (601) and Diane Marley (601) also rolled honor counts.
Scott Schultz paved the way for the men with a 761 series in the American League at Westgate on Tuesday. Todd Weege blasted a 750 last Friday in the Legion League at Winona Bowl.
Also tossing 700s last week were Tyler Brown (725), Jeremy Voshage (719), Bill Benedict (704) and Dale Bartelson (704).

Former Federal Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor, a public supporter of R18+ for games, was today renamed minister for Human Services and minister assisting the School Education in a federal government ministerial reshuffle.
Member for Blaxland and former Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare was named the new federal minister for Home Affairs and will inherit O'Connor's portfolio, including the issue of R18+ for games.
O'Connor first announced federal government support for R18+ for games in December last year, before another vote on the issue was postponed at the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General meeting on December 10, 2010.
Earlier this year, O'Connor publicly released the draft guidelines on R18+ and hinted at seeking other options should state and territory censorship ministers fail to reach consensus on the issue.
In July this year, Australia's federal, state, and territory censorship ministers reached an in-principle agreement to introduce an R18+ classification for video games in Australia.
This agreement was made on the basis that all states and territories approve a set of proposed guidelines to introduce the new classification. Last month, O'Connor publicly released the final guidelines on R18+ for games, at the same time clarifying his plans to introduce the R18+ legislation in the February 2012 parliament session.
The R18+ for games issue has been on the Australian government agenda since 2002.
GameSpot AU has contacted the new federal minister for Home Affairs, Jason Clare, about his plans regarding R18+ and will update this story as news comes to hand.

Today, I woke up with the need to cut it or shave it (here is a certain critical-mass length that drives me to irrationality). Miracle of miracles, there was an opening at Habitude, in 45 minutes. So I got in with Tori, a $35 "newbie". When the hair gets that long, it just has to go. I knew that I was seeing a less experienced stylist, but I didn't care, supercuts or whatever it's called now was going to be the next step. I know I sound like a hair Prima Donna, but it's not true. It's just that you expect less when it's cheaper, and you expect more when you pay more. I usually go to the GM Institute, so my expectations aren't super high.
Long story short, Best. Haircut. Ever.
I freaking love the cut. I'm all shaking my head and tousling my hair ALL DAY. I'm all like, damn I'm hot. I'm all like, OMG, I am SO HAPPY. Yes, I'm like, sober.
Tori, you are worth way more than $35. Thank you.
