J.W. Speaker unveils the "XL" line of heavy-duty LED worklights
Posted By cprewitt On September 13, 2012 @ 8:52 am In Featured Boomerang,New Products from Better Roads,New Safety Products From Better Roads,Newsletter Road Product Showcase | No Comments
Germantown, WI– J.W. Speaker officially unveiled the latest addition to its extensive line of LED lights today. Dubbed the "XL" line, this new family of heavy duty LED products was developed specifically for extreme industrial conditions. Each lamp is fully sealed and complies with IP69K standards for high pressure washing and other harsh environmental factors.
"J.W. Speaker's LED worklights and strobes have long been a favorite among heavy duty equipment operators, but applications utilizing power washers for cleaning their equipment required a higher level of ingress protection. This need was the primary driver behind the development of the XL Line," said Gary Durian, Director of Engineering for J.W. Speaker. All of the XL products feature a distinctive, bright yellow die-cast housing and fully sealed connections – making them perfect for applications where water, mud, and sludge are present. According to Ryan Mayrand, Product Marketing for J.W. Speaker, "The fact that these products are LED means they're more resistant to shock & vibration, use significantly less power, and last up to 50 times longer than bulb-based lights. All of this equates to longer service life, higher reliability, and lower operational costs for our end users. We even offer a 4-year limited warranty on all of the XL products."
The XL Line includes heavier duty versions of many top sellers, including:

Brooklyn: ELLE DECOR Staff Picks

Where To Eat
Frozen yogurt sandwiches at Culture, photography by Rebecca Ashley Photography
"Brooklyn, like everywhere else in 2012, is overrun by frozen yogurt shops, but none of them can hold a candle to Culture in Park Slope, where the yogurtfresh and frozenis made fresh in the back. While it's delicious on it's own, anyone with a sweet tooth will love the yogurt as a filling in their take on the ice cream sandwich. And just try resisting one of the rotating pie-themed toppings, made from owner and pastry chef Jenny Ammirati's recipes."Amy Preiser, ELLEDECOR.com Editor
"My summer weekend routine usually involves a trip to the Brooklyn Fleanot to peruse the vintage typewriters, handcrafted soaps, beer making kits, and other miscellany, but to have lunch at the Milk Truck, which has a menu that consists largely of variations on the grilled cheese sandwich. The 'All Day Breakfast Sandwich' is pretty close to perfection: It's made with tangy Gruyere, sweet caramelized onions, and a fried egg, all pressed between two big, thick slices of crunchy rye bread. I find that it's best followed up with a slice of chocolate cream piewith a pretzel and dulce de leche crust!from nearby vendor Rachel's Pies."Peter Terzian, Features Editor
"As a Los Angeles transplant, I am always looking for Mexican food gems in the city. And you can't beat Williamsburg's La Superior's great street-style food."Heather Rabkin, Assistant Editor
"I love the relatively new St. Anselm (718-384-5054) in Williamsburg. The butcher's steak is to die for and they have a pretty extensive wine listalways a plus."Julia Duquette. Photo Editor
"Liman, a Turkish restaurant on Sheepshead Bay, is not well-known outside the Russian community but is worth discovering for their delicious foodespecially the octopus salad and St. Peter's fish."Marina Drukman, Art Director

UB40 By James Rodgers Published January 16, 2008 Live At Montreux 2002Eagle Records
With over 50 million records sold in their 27-year career, and the original lineup intact, it's ironic that one of the most popular reggae bands ever is named after a U.K. unemployment form. The band's latest live recording captures it's only performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. While the sound is a little hollow and there's very little stage patter, this collection of many of their biggest hits shows the group doing what it enjoys, and does best, spreading the joy of reggae to the world. Ali Campbell's voice above those steller horns is an unmistakable sound, making everything they do a UB40 song. Featuring eight originals, and eight classic cover songs, this also works as a fine "Best Of" collection, with just minor crowd noise to remind you it's all live. While the world waits for a new release from the ambassadors of reggae, this will most definitely do.

A letter sent to PMA Chairman and CEO James McKenna and ILWU President Robert McEllrath by a group comprised of 174 organizations representing manufacturers, farmers and agribusinesses, wholesalers, retailers, importers, exporters, distributors, and transportation and logistics service providers called for the parties to come to a "resolution of the issues that is satisfactory for all concerned."

The Mariners had 39 hits--18 on Sunday in a game Jake Peavy started--in a three game sweep of the Padres. Jose Vidro started at first in the last two games, increasing speculation that Suddenly Singles Sexson (1 XBH in June) will be released. Bedard and Morrow both pitched well in the series.
The Mariners won't have a traditional starter on Tuesday, Riggsie will mix and match relievers instead, writes David Andriesen.
M's prospect watcher Jason Churchill updates his top ten Mariner prospects.
M's prospect Michael Saunders (#5 on Churchill's list) is now up at Tacoma. The 21-year-old was 6 for his first 13. A BC native, he'll play for Canada in the Beijing Olympics, writes John McGrath.
USS Mariner breaks down the trade value of the M's roster, and comes to the surprising conclusion that the time may be ripe to trade Felix Hernandez.
The Storm tightened up their D, writes Jayda Evans, and held Washington to just 49 points, winning only their second game in their past six. Storm attendance hasn't been what ownership hoped for--at 7,591, it's the lowest since '03. Still, 7,591 is nothing to sniff at, and it'll pick up once the team gets into the playoff push.
The Storm cut rookie PG Kimberly Beck--big mistake in my view, as Beck was the only player on the roster with disruptive speed on the court.
Shawn Kemp to the Times' Jerry Brewer on Sonics' ownership: "They can't complain about a new arena because they're not winning enough games, period. They need to put up or shut up. When I got into the NBA, the thing of it was, if you won, you got a new arena. But if you lost, you had to work to get the arena. You can't be a losing team and get a new arena. That's not fair. That's not fair! That's how I see it."
The Sonics made a $3.6 million qualifying offer to Robert Swift, reports Percy Allen. The Supes will also be able to match any offer from another team. I ask the question again: What aspect of basketball is Robert Swift good at?
Joel Smith won't play for the Huskies next year, reports Bob Condotta, which answers the question of how the Dawgs were going to get under their scholarship limit. Smith, who has one year of eligibility left, did get his degree. Condotta also says another change--an addition--may be forthcoming.
Kim Grinolds reports on the Dawgman messageboard (subs.) that Jamaal Williams will be in camp with Miami.
J.R. Hasty and Jordan Murchison are off the football team for good, writes Condotta. Hasty, you'll remember, holds the Washington state high school record for rushing TDs in a season, and was recruited to UW the same year Jonathan Stewart went to Oregon. They've gone in different directions, huh?
Derrick Low has an invitation to play on the Dallas Mavericks' summer league team, reports the Honolulu Advertiser via Stadium Way.
Seahawks blog Dave Krieg's Strike Beard names the top-ten single season performances of all-time by a Seahawk.
Former Hawks special teamer Isaiah Kacyvenski is still looking for a path back to the NFL after suffering a knee injury in Raiders' camp last year, reports his hometown upstate NY paper, via Seahawks Addicts.
Renton High and UW grad Aretha (Hill) Thurmond qualified for her third Olympics in the discus. Another former Husky, Brad Walker, whose expected to be a medal contender in Beijing, qualified in the pole vault.
The Times put together a nice list of locals who are trying to qualify for the Olympics at the U.S. Track and Field trials in Eugene.
OSU football recruit Jordan Bishop put on an impressive show at an all-star game over the weekend.
Bellingham will host the International Basketball League championship game on July 19 after beating Vancouver in the Western Conference finals yesterday.

By JENNIFER McKEE - IR State Bureau - 07/15/09
Leaders for some of Montana's two-year colleges applauded President Barack Obama's proposal Tuesday to pump $12 billion into community colleges nationally, with one calling it the most significant news in two-year education in several generations.
"It looks to me like this will be quite significant," said John Cech, dean of Montana State University-Billings' College of Technology. "I think today will likely be a very historic day for two-year education across the United States. This is probably one of the most significant announcements since the end of World War II."
John Garic, dean of Montana Tech's College of Technology in Butte, called Obama's plan "wonderful."
"I realize the details are always critically important, but step one is leadership," he said. "Even to come up with this concept."
President Obama announced Tuesday a $12 billion, 10-year effort to improve two-year education. He outlined his plans during a speech at a Michigan community college. Congress would have to appropriate the money for the program.
Montana has been focusing heavily on two-year education for the past year, Garic said, and is well-positioned to compete for some of the $9 billion the president outlined Tuesday for challenge grants colleges may compete for. The $9 billion is part of the $12 billion total proposed by Obama.
Mary Sheehy Moe, the former dean of MSU's College of Technology in Great Falls and now the deputy commissioner for two year education in the Montana university system, said the state still has a long way to go to reach out to the workers who could benefit from two-year education.
Montana is "last in the West" and among the last in the country for the number of adults currently engaged in some kind of higher education, she said. Money is part of the problem.
Two-year education is cheaper than four-year schools, she said, but for many families it is not thrifty enough. Student loans are an option for many students, but students still have to pay that back and that limits options for graduating students.
Many parents looking to increase their earning potential also run into the trouble of child care. Moe said parents can spend as much on child care while they attend class as they do on class, itself.
Moe said there is also a stigma among some that Montana's two-year colleges are "vo-techs," although they have evolved much since the days when such schools offered only career training.
"Students can get the same general education (requirements) they'd be getting at four-year schools," she said, and Montana has been working to make transferring those credits seamless.
All three said post-high school education is intimately tied to a person's earning power, even if the training is as simple as a certificate, Garic said, not even a two-year degree.
Cech said his school has worked with MSU-Billings, along with local utilities, hospitals and unions to develop degree programs tailor-made for the local job market, like power plant operators or wind turbine technicians.
Still, he said, there is a shortage of some trained professionals and his school currently lacks the money to develop those programs.
Billings hospitals have asked for more trained respiratory therapists, anesthesia and pharmacy technicians. Those are programs Cech said he'd like to develop, potentially with the money Obama outlined.
As layoffs have rippled through the economy, many two-year colleges are seeing record enrollments. A well-trained workforce is vital to stabilizing economies, Garic said.
"We lift up the economy of Montana by lifting up these people with (educational) credentials," he said.
Yet a significant number of Montanans still lack even a high school education, Cech said. Some 120,000 Montanans who are at least 16 lack a high school diploma or its equivalent and are not enrolled in any kind of program to secure such a basic educational background.
Cech called those numbers "an opportunity for economic development in Montana" and said two-year colleges could do more to reach out to those people and help them get a GED, along with higher job training.
Moe also said that reaching out to the large numbers of Montana adults lacking any kind of post-high school education is a state priority. She said Obama's announcement might make that easier.
"It is really exciting for Montana to get more people engaged," she said. "We really need to reach populations we haven't reached before."

I was checking out potential colours for my kitchen, and came across a lovely photo on Houzz. The paint is Sand in your Shoes 167-3...unfortunately, I think the brand is in the UK. Anyone know for sure? I really like it, but I've never taken a colour to another place to ask them to match it. I usually get the exact colour from say Behr or Valspar ...might have to try though if Mythic really is in the UK.

2005 Mazda3 Sport vs 2005 Impreza RS Wagon
el_bagador Posts: 28hope this conversation can be resurrected. i tested the 3 and the matrix xrs this weekend, and the maz blew the doors off the trix in every aspect. i'm now going to try an impreza rs (the wrx is out of my range $$-wise) to see what that feels like. my main concerns in comparing these two are:
reliability--did the 3 work out the kinks from the first model year yet?
gas mileage--have read varying thing on the difference between these two cars.
parts replacements--somebody said earlier that dealers overcharge for maz parts...what if i don't get them from the dealer? are these cars comperable in routine maint/wear and tear costs? -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587A/C was the biggest issue for the first model year of the Mazda3. The Mazda faithful say they've worked it out.
When I go to a dealer parts prices I'm quoted are astronomical. A wheel bearing cost us $900, an O2 sensor, part only, cost $220. My Miata's gas cap was $28 and oil filters are $8.
So plan on going to wholesalers. I've used Roebuck Mazda with some luck, but haven't ordered anything in a long time.
We dumped our 626 when it became a money pit. My Miata is fine, as are our 2 Subies.
Subaru parts prices have been lower, in my experience, with or without a wholesaler. Service can still be pricey, though.
-juice -
el_bagador Posts: 28how about service charges on a mazda? cheaper? more costly? i don't plan on having a dealer work on my car for anything that isn't warranty-related, since this issue isn't unique to mazda in experience. i drive a 92 saab 900 now, and the dealer prices on stuff are rediculous. and the labor is rediculous no matter where i take it. are mazda parts just generally expensive, even if i'm going through a local mechanic?
creakid1 Posts: 2,032The Consumer Reports 2005 future car issue shows the Mazda6 having a "below average rating" in reliability history, while the reliability history of the domestic-built '03-04 Focus, which a portion of them come w/ Mazda 2.3 engine, is "above average". Imagine how reliable the Focus is when all '05's come w/ Mazda engines!
Also, the Miata is reliable, unlike the rotary RX-8. -
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695it has been hard for a long time to find good dealer service for either Mazdas or Subarus. That is a common problem with both brands, it would seem. Luckily, we have a local Subaru guru who runs a really tight ship in a little independent shop near me, and he beats the dealer prices for almost everything by about a third. However, OEM parts for both brands are pricey.
When I had my Outback Sport (previous gen Impreza with bigger tires than the rest of the line and two-tone paint), the most fun I had was driving it rally-style down dirt roads. It was an absolute blast for that due to the 50/50 AWD distribution and the extra-long suspension. If only you could try out today's Impreza RS under the same conditions, you would probably buy it on the spot, it is that much fun.
On the street though, the Impreza will supply a lot more understeer than the MZ3 because of the AWD. There will also be more body roll, and an altogether less "sporty" experience. It also weighs a couple hundred pounds more than the MZ3. But just remember my little story - the Impreza is a lot of fun to throw around on the road, especially where the pavement turns to dirt, and so sure-footed it is really hard to place a tire wrong.2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)
billmchale Posts: 107
ateixeira Posts: 72,587In a steady state Subies tend to understeer (same with FWD), but it's easy to get the rear end out on just about any of them except for the VDC, which has stability control.
Lift the throttle or add more in that corner, you can get the tail out.
If you want even more neutral handling, the SPT rear sway bar wholesales for just $78, the 18mm one. The 20mm SPT bar wholesales for just $82. And it's just 4 bolts to install them (I've installed 2 myself).
Stock bars vary from 13-19mm, but it's a cheap and easy upgrade if you don't like understeer.

The classic wheelchair was never designed as a primary means of patient transport and so it fails in a number of important, functional ways. It's cumbersome, it's challenging to move a patient in and out of, and it certainly wasn't designed for our increasingly obese population. Movi Medical approached the design of a new patient transport vehicle from a totally different perspective. Our new patient chairs are more ergonomically optimized, for both patients and the hospital staff responsible for moving them. Through close collaboration with one of the four largest academic medical centers in the US, Movi is radically changing the way patients and the health care industry looks at wheelchairs and patient room furniture.
Movi is designed around the human form; it's built to promote comfort, improved posture and safety.
Several design innovations elevate Movi beyond any current patient transport vehicle available. Healthcare staff involved in moving patients have one of the highest incidence of back injury of any industry tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Movi's patented, Powered Assist Lift (PAL) raises the patient's center of gravity until it's centered over the legs, mimicking the biomechanics of standing from a seated position. Patients can stand with less effort, and stress on staff is reduced when assistance is required. Foot plates rest flat and flush to the floor during transfer, eliminating the awkward adjustment process.
In addition, the powered drive system used for lifting also enables health care staff to place the patient into a much comfortable and secure range of semi-reclined transit positions. Movi's seating position has a lower center of gravity providing greater stability, increased comfort and, often, significantly improved posture. You can clearly see this improved posture in comparison to a conventional wheelchair on the left below.
Additional features include an ergonomically designed handle which is adjustable and more comfortable and efficient to push, low rolling resistance wheels, and built in features including an IV pole, O2 tank support and over seven cubic feet of integrated storage. Follow this link for more details on both the Powered Assist Lift (PAL) and improved seating posture.

So I bought this because Lisa Eldridge highly recommend it on her website and she has acne prone skin like mine. I have used this for three nights now and so far I like it. I have acne prone, sensitive, combo skin so it is very difficult to find products that work for me. It is a little difficult to remove so I use this in the shower, let the steam work it in my skin while I massage it on my face then wipe with a wash cloth. It does leave a film on skin.....I haven't decided if I like this or not. I feels nice enough to not use a night cream over it. I have noticed that the few blackheads on my nose and chin came up and out after using this and a few pimples I had under the skin, it brought to a head.
I'm really on the fence about this one. I've tried cream bases cleansers before bit this is a balm and feels like I'm massaging butter all over my face. It's mainly olive oil so it's super greasy/oily. I think the key is finding the right technique, I massage into dry skin then steam with a hot cloth and wipe off face repeatedly with the cloth, and because even after wiping it off it is still super oily, I cleanse w my regular cleanser and clarisonic which balances the oiliness yet still makes my skin feel moist. I don't think it breaks me out but first time I used it it did cause the under the surface pimples to surface
Dissolves all my makeup and it is super easy to remove. The muslin cloth is also great, not too harsh but does the job.
Picked this up after seeing Lisa Eldrige recommend it. I had also never heard of cleansing balms before and wanted to try it. I have acne prone skin and probably wouldn't think to pick this up, but Lisa also has acne prone skin and she said she did a cleansing balm about two times a week. It mostly sounded like a nice way to massage the face and encourage lymph movement and capillary stimulation. All of which do some nice things.
So I saw this at my local Target and decided to treat myself since it was under $10.00. I used it like the box recommended and removed my makeup and then applied the balm. I massaged the balm for about 5-10 minutes and then applied the hot cloth and let it sit on my face for about 5 minutes. I took this time to lay down and relax. That is probably the nicest part of the whole experience. While I was laying down I did a big more massaging through the cloth, but I did more pressing than swirling movements. Then I scrub the balm off with the cloth and clean the cloth with cold water and then lay that over my face. I sometimes lay down for this, sometimes not.
I have also tried this to remove makeup first and it does a good job. I use the first application to remove makeup. So I skip the muslin cloth steam bit first and just wipe the balm away with another cloth or rag. Then I apply more balm and do the full massage, hot cloth, cold cloth regime. No matter what way I go about removing the makeup I always soak the muslin cloth in a bath of hot water and Dawn dish soap. This seems to clean the cloth very nicely between uses.
I have heard people say they don't like the cloth that comes with the balm, but I haven't had a problem I think it is nice and will use it.
I have had no adverse reactions or acne flare ups due to this. Sometimes I remove the film of balm that is left behind and sometimes I don't. It just depends on what I feel like. If I want to check if my face is clean I just swipe some rosewater across my face with a cottonball. So far I haven't had any residue.
The smell doesn't bother me, but it does have a sort of natural-product sent. Nothing burns and it doesn't irritate my eyes. The only minor problems I have had is that it can make one's vision blurry if it gets in the eyes, but all ointment/cream cleansers do this to me, and it makes hair super greasy if you aren't careful around your hair line. I solve the blurry eyes by using a bit of oil-free eyemakeup remover and the greasy hair issue by tying my hair up really well.
Overall I enjoy this. I think it does make skin look softer and plumper. I feel like I look fresher after this routine and I will continue to use this product in the future. If you want to look up facial massage techniques I would look up the Eve Lom technique. It is more of a pressing massage, but I think it is a nice to do once you have the steam cloth over your face. Prior to that I tend to just do a circular/swirling massage starting from the top of my head down my neck. I think anything will work as long as you focus on where your facial lymph nodes are and if you massage from the top of your head towards you heart. That should stimulate all the right places.
Good luck! :)

As a new fan of cleansing oils and balms, I found using the product to be a very pleasant experience. The texture is light and creamy. it emulsifies quickly in the hands, it spreads easily and is easy to remove with a hot washcloth. I prefer a balm pre-cleanser/make up remover that has the ability to be washed completely off with no residue because my skin is so sensitive.
It's got nourishing ingredients in it like rosehips and ...(full list of ingredients here)
Olea europaea (Olive) fruit oil, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Cera alba (Beeswax), Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) butter, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil, Cetearyl alcohol, Rosa canina seed oil, Limonene, Citronellol, Pelargonium graveolens flower oil, Citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract, Linalool, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) fruit oil, Citrus medica limonum (Lemon) peel oil, Geraniol, Parfum (Fragrance), Citral
I do use the hot cloth method and then cleanse with a regular cleanser. This cleans all the makeup out of my pores, makes the skin soft and smooth and gets all makeup off - even my mascara which is not waterproof. I cannot vouch for waterproof makeup with this product. At $9.00 US it is densely packed, smells fresh and clean and a little goes a long way. Winner!
I have gone through many jars of this stuff. I switch between Shu oil cleanser and this. I also bought Eve Lom. This Boots Botanical is better than Lom. I think that US has been taught to do the 3 step process, wash in harsh soap, tone, and moisturize. This is totally a 1 step process that does it all. People seem to have a problem with the moisturizing residue left on the skin. I find that this cleanser is a 3 in 1 solution. It cleanses and removes make-up, exception tough mascara, and then it exfoliates and tones and even drains lymphatic puffiness with massage and a little more water, and then when it is wiped clean it leaves the nicest moisturizing film of essential oils that nourish the skin. Why we think we need to strip that off and have a "stripped clean face" is old marketing dogma. This is the way to perfect skin. When I wake up I spritz with a little of the boots botanical rose water and wipe away the residue, shower and then I use CeraVe sunscreen and a little makeup. That is my skin care routine. I don't have wrinkles and I hope to keep it that way with Boots!

I might be the oddball out here because I do not feel like this cleansing balm leaves a heavy, thick, greasy film on my face. I'm not a spring chicken, the older I get, the dryer my cheeks get and the oilier my tzone gets, yay hormones !!! I used a small amount on makeup free skin, just gave it all a good rub, ran my cloth under water that was a little more than warm, slapped that baby on my face and let it sit there until the cloth was no longer warm. I did that twice actually. I then used the warm towel to basically scrub my face, did that twice. I proceeded to run the cloth in very cold water and I let that sit on my face a couple of minutes while patting it in place. I did see dirty - yuck - on the cloth so yes, it worked. What's more, I ran a Color Run yesterday and had some blue stuff left on my cheeks and this took that off.
3 hours later and I do not feel any type of greasiness on my face, in fact, it feels quite moisturized which I am LOVING. So far, this is working great. I may come back and edit this if it breaks me out, but I am very hopeful that it doesn't. Call me crazy but I'm just not ready to shell out almost $100 for the Colleen Rothschild !

I am a die hard fan of Clinique's "Take the Day Off" cleansing balm. I like The Body Shop's Chamomile Cleansing balm as well. I purchased this online in a quest to test different cleansing balms and because the military exchange where I purchase my normal products was out of TTDO. The jar packaging is fine. The scent of the product is "organic", although I prefer unscented cleansers. My gripe is that the product does NOT clean!! I use water "resistant" mascara which my two above mentioned balms remove with just a few swirls of my fingers over my lashes. This stuff? YIKES! I rubbed. And rubbed. And rubbed some more...to no avail (although it speaks to the lasting power of my Cover Girl Clump Crusher!!) Eventually, I took my washcloth (the provided muslim cloth is too small and too...I don't know, I prefer my big washcloths) and rubbed the heck out of my eyes and finally got off my mascara. My face was another issue. Now I have dry skin, but I do not want my face to feel as though it was coated in vaseline. I don't know exactly what is in this stuff. I serums, balms, thick moisturizers and oils, but this? Gross! I felt as though my skin was suffocating. Again, I had to aggressively scrub to remove the last traces of this balm. It is counterproductive to how I normally treat my skin, but I NEEDED this feeling of being coated gone!! I have used this for three nights. In the morning, I wake up with gunky, filmy eyes because of the amount of product getting in to them at night. I haven't had any breakouts although I use Paula's choice cleansers on my Clarisonic after my balm cleansing as well. I am driving to my PX everyday to see if my clinique cleanser is in yet. I will use this until it comes in, then it's going into the trash. If i lived in Antarctica, had never heard of other cleansing balms and didn't wear eye makeup, this could be fine. For me, a dry skinned 47 year old year old living in Germany, this is a no-go.
I do like this product though I definitely use my wash cloth a lot more than the cloth included. I use a gentle cleanser and then do this. I know it seems silly but I mostly only use this because it makes my face feel more hydrated. It does leave a bit of a film but I always use a toner afterward anyhow so I never have an issue. And it smells fine!
What the heck am I missing here? Like another reviewer on here, I was looking to try the Boots No. 7 warm cloth formulation, but I haven't seen it at any of my local Target stores. So I picked up this, and figured it wasn't the end of the world, because I prefer to use natural products when I can anyway. I really didn't like this: other than leaving a HEAVY film on my face that I could literally feel with my hands, it certainly did not seem to clean my face. The product is as thick as butter, but relatively translucent yellow-green. I didn't find the herb-y smell to be overpowering really at all, as long as I did not put it anywhere near my eyes. I also did not find the cloth to be overly-abrasive at all; in fact, I was thoroughly annoyed that it was as thin & pathetic as it was, because a more durable cloth was definitely needed to get anywhere even close to removing all this product. I ended up having to use one of my terrycloth washcloths to remove the product, and when I could still feel a heavy layer on my skin, I re-cleansed my skin with my St. Ives Green Tea scrub, which was probably overkill but I was freaked out about having this vegetable lard-like stuff on my skin. My skin is having a really tough time this winter: I'm normally oily with acne-prone skin, and with our constant sub-zero temps this winter, I'm now dry with acne-prone skin, which has been really difficult to manage. This morning, my skin is drier than ever, and I have a new breakout. I'm also at a loss as to how this thick goop is supposed to do anything about the skin I have that's already dry & flaking; it's certainly not going to "repair" it & it's not going to remove it either. I will continue to use my Aloette enzyme gel to dissolve dry, flaking skin, because that at least I know is getting rid of pore-clogging debris, and then follow with a good moisturizer. I would not recommend this product.

Cholesterol is generally viewed as a bad thing. But, it is actually a necessary substance for bodily function. Our bodies use it to make bile for digestion, cell walls, hormones, and vitamins. We get cholesterol by eating cholesterol-containing foods and by manufacturing it in our livers from simple nutritional building blocks.
Unfortunately, some people make too much cholesterol in their liver. Others have a relative lack of cholesterol receptors to get the cholesterol out of the bloodstream and into the cells. These situations can be inherited through your family. Individuals with inherited or familial high cholesterol have readings that are usually very high. And, the numbers don't budge no matter how much they try to control it through lifestyle modification.
Non-hereditary high cholesterol most commonly comes from consuming way too much cholesterol and fat through fatty foods. High-fat foods, fast foods, processed foods, snack foods- these can elevate the blood cholesterol levels. Add to this a general lack of regular exercise and it's not surprising that most people have at least mildly elevated readings. Regular exercise and dietary restraint can significantly lower the cholesterol levels in the general population.
The numbers by which we measure a person's cholesterol refer to the cholesterol transport molecules in the bloodstream. These are LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), triglycerides, and non-LDL particles. From study, we know that people with a high LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides will have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. Also, people with a high HDL, "good" cholesterol, will have a lower risk. Therefore, you want your LDL and triglycerides to be low and your HDL to be high.
Bad cholesterol particles are what bring about hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). These molecules get into the artery walls and cause plaques. Thickening plaques create blockages in the blood flow and this can result in heart attacks, strokes, and arterial disease.
We can improve our cholesterol levels by eating less cholesterol-containing foods. Diminish your intake of saturated fats (whole milk, high-fat cheese, red meat, ice cream, etc), fried foods, and processed foods. Increase your intake of healthy fats like fish oils and unsaturated fats. Increasing dietary fiber helps to lower the blood cholesterol levels. Additionally, regular exercise can improve your good and lower your bad cholesterol.
Since the liver manufactures cholesterol, we can interrupt this process. That's how many of the prescription pills (e.g. statins) work to lower cholesterol. They block cholesterol production in the liver. In general, they lower your bad (LDL) and raise your good (HDL). Other medicines can bind and remove cholesterol from your body's digestive tract before it gets absorbed.
Many of the medications used to treat high cholesterol have received negative press over the years. Most recently, it was determined that the statins may increase the risk of developing diabetes in some individuals. Unfortunately, like most medications, the statins can have undesirable effects that cloud their proven beneficial effects. The bottom line is this- for folks at high risk for heart disease, the benefits of these medications likely outweigh the risk of side effects.
A high blood cholesterol level usually won't give you symptoms in and of itself. That's why it's important to have your cholesterol checked. Meet with your doctor to discuss individual treatments and additional risk factor reduction based on your lab results, medical history, and physical examination.

Great book full of great information, but I can't see the page numbers..... its very frustrating!
It could be easier to access
I bought the kindle edition of this book and it came straight to both my kindle on the iPad and Android. It is worth the price, rather than buying the book and spending $90+ on the same book, plus having to wait for the shipment.
It is a text book and everything you would expect of a textbook. It has many diagrams and footnotes, which is helpful.

**** the Red Wings so much.
That was a perfectly clean hit and Backes not only gets 2 minutes but he gets thrown out of the game.
The NHL's protection of that bullshit franchise is a ****ing disgrace, especially at Joe Lewis. Hopefully garbage calls like this will open some eyes to this nonsense.
Someone tell Shanny that none of his ****ing teammates play there anymore so we can stop openly protecting them.

I'm interested in suggestions for door combinations off our parlor floor kitchen in the rear of our old brownstone in Brooklyn, New York, that allow sufficient light to the kitchen but also protection against weather, and bugs, and provide decent security. (although our yard is fenced in, so security issues aren't tops on the list) We're converting a window to a door and adding a small/medium sized steel deck off the kitchen/dining room, and the door will be the only source of natural light to the kitchen (with 2 picture windows off the adjoining dining room providing less direct natural light). Do people usually have an inward-swinging wood door on the inside and outward-swinging door on the outside for example, with a lot of glass? Is there a way to incorporate a screen into the mix for summertime, by having a glass pane or two that are convertible to screen for the warmer months? On our ground floor kitchen/dining room deck (soon to be a rental), we have an inswinging wood door off the dining room (next to 2 windows, so light is less of an issue) and an outswinging screen door to the deck. This protects against bugs when the inside door is open, but we get some real drafts in the winter and some real heat in the summer. I'd love to see pictures if anyone has them. Thanks for any suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a single inswing Marvin french door with transom in my brownstone parlor kitchen. They are made with an integrated frame so the seal is pretty good and less draft/heat/cold issues than I expected. They are made to order so you can order them to fit your brick opening. Although I looked into having a screen (retractable or outswing) I never bothered. The door is open a lot all summer without much of a bug issue. IIRC, your kitchen is tight and an outswing might suit you better. I didn''t need an operating transom but that might address your desire to "open" a window. Or you could just open your dining room windows - your kitchen is totally open to it. Go to some window dealers with big displays - not HD/Lowes - and take a look at the door displays. |

I just bought a new computer. They burned the files from my D drive on my old one & had me reinstall them. I made the mistake of changing around some of "MY DOCUMENTS" Now none of my PSPs will auto save because of it. Does anyone have an idea how to correct this big mistake. I know where the my psp8 files are but when I point the program to them it doesn't help. When I screw up I do it right LOL I hope this is the only place I have messed up by moving them. I seem to have My DOCUMENTS in several places now. I think I did part of this before the files were burned. At least I still have the filters & tubes...my bookmarks & address too.
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this big mistake? TIA, Dar |

Kadner: This Napoleon seems to like running
By Phil Kadner firstname.lastname@example.com December 7, 2012 5:34PM
Napoleon Harris is seen in this May file photo
Updated: January 10, 2013 6:32AM
I would like to know why Napoleon Harris is willing to spend so much of his money to run for public office.
From what I've read, Harris seems like a pretty bright guy. And according to published reports, he also has millions of dollars.
A graduate of Northwestern University, where he played football, Harris went on to play linebacker in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs.
Since his retirement from football, he's bought two Beggars Pizza restaurants in the Southland.
Having grown up in Dixmoor, Harris is one of the few professional athletes who returned to the south suburbs (Flossmoor) to live, so you've got to like that about him as well.
But he spent about $250,000 of his money running for the Illinois Senate this fall, according to financial disclosure reports filed with the state.
Soon after he won the Nov. 6 election, reports surfaced that he planned to run for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s former congressional seat.
Several local political observers told me Harris would have to be considered a front-runner in the special election because he could spend $1 million on his campaign, far more than any other candidate would likely raise in a short period of time.
So I called Harris' campaign office to see if he was indeed running and ask him why, having just spent a chunk of money running for the state Senate, he would want to spend even more of his cash on a congressional race.
"He'll call you when he has something to say," I was told by someone at Harris' Senate campaign office.
I called a few days later and got the same response.
Several suburban mayors have told me that Harris has called them to solicit their support for Congress.
And Chicago Sun-Times sportswriter Sean Jensen wrote that Harris told him, "I'm running."
So why won't Harris talk to me, or other news reporters, about running for Congress?
"Well, you wrote something that wasn't very flattering about him in a recent column," I was told.
Actually, the column questioned whether it really mattered who won the congressional race. That column also mentioned, in a rather critical manner, just about every candidate who has said they would run.
As for Harris, I wrote he "just got done telling voters he really wanted to represent them in the state Senate" and has "apparently decided he would rather be in Washington."
That was about it.
I've got to believe Harris heard harsher criticism in much stronger language from his football coaches over the years.
I think it's valid for voters to ask why a fellow who just got done saying he really wanted to be a state senator decided what he really wants to do is be a U.S. congressman.
Harris isn't the first person with personal fortune to spend big money running for elective office.
Heck, Illinois ice cream and dairy man Jim Oberweis has spent millions, mostly on failed political efforts.
Harris won in his very first try.
I'm always fascinated by people who spend money on politics because, quite frankly, it's not something I would ever consider.
Over the years, I've heard many people speculate on how they would spend cash from a big lottery win and not once have I heard someone exclaim, "I could run for public office."
Most people talk about buying their dream house or going on a great vacation, quitting their jobs and maybe even helping out people in need.
Harris apparently uses some of his personal fortune on football camps for local youths and to support other charities in the area.
He seems sincere about giving something back to the community, and maybe he really feels another way to do that is public service.
That would be admirable indeed if it's true.
Still, I have this thing about people in public life refusing to answer questions or return phone calls.
NFL players can tell reporters to get lost.
Businessmen can say, "It's not your business how I spend my money."
But once you say, "I want to represent the people," you have a much greater responsibility.
Harris now is a senator-elect.
He wanted the job. He paid good money to get it. And he ought to tell the people who backed him why he's even considering running for Congress before he takes his Senate seat.
Harris has spent much of his life in the public eye. That should give him a big advantage over other first-time officeholders.
One of the benefits of electing a guy like that is that he should be able to handle the news media, be a more effective advocate for the issues he supports and represent his community in a positive way.
I really have nothing against politicians who finance their campaigns.
Former U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R-Ill.), a banker, spent millions on his campaign and was one of the best public servants this state has had in recent years.
But Harris doesn't seem to understand he's entered a new arena that requires accountability and accessibility.
The 2nd Congressional District and the 15th Senate District are in need of a leader.
There's a possibility that Harris has his sights on much bigger things down the road, such as becoming a governor or president.
Those are pretty cool jobs.
Whatever his motivation for running for public office, he better prove soon he's not afraid to answer questions.
Harris once took on 300-pound linemen in the NFL who were trying to do him bodily harm.
Reporters just want to toss some questions his way. If he can't handle that, he really has wasted his money.

Cakes by manddi-I worry that people will misspell my name...
The cake cave-my husband and I have a mother in law house (that neither one of our mothers in law are invited to live in) so he's been using it as his "man cave." It sees very little use save for a couple football parties a year so I'm taking it over (no, he doesn't mind) and thought that the cake cave was kinda cute.
I'd love others thoughts and any other suggestions would be great too!

Makes 2 servings
active time
15 min
total time
1 3/4 hr
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus additional for greasing bowls or ramekins
- 3 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
- 1 large egg, separated
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Special equipment: 2 (5- to 6-oz) ovenproof glass or ceramic bowls or ramekins
- Accompaniment: coffee ice cream
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter bowls or ramekins.
Melt chocolate and butter in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove bowl from heat and cool, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Whisk in egg yolk and a pinch of salt until combined.
Beat egg white in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until it holds soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and continue to beat until white just holds stiff, glossy peaks.
Whisk about one fourth of white into chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining white gently but thoroughly.
Divide batter between bowls or ramekins. Cover each bowl with a small square of foil and crimp foil tightly around rim. Put bowls in a baking dish, then add enough boiling-hot water to reach halfway up side of bowls, making sure that foil is above water. Bake until puddings are just set, about 30 minutes. (Puddings will be gooey to the touch.) Transfer bowls to a rack and cool puddings, uncovered, about 1 hour.
Just before serving, unmold puddings into serving bowls.
Cooks' note: Puddings can be made 4 hours ahead and kept in bowls or ramekins at warm room temperature. Dip in hot water 10 to 15 seconds to unmold.
