Gov. Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential Nominee
Assorted thoughts on Repuyblican Vice Presidential nominee, Governor Sarah Palin...
- Lefty bloggers are busy trying to figure out why they dislike Gov. Palin. They know they do. They just need to find some reasons. Anything will do.
- The New Republic has some good background on Alaska politics and what Gov. Palin has done.
- McCain was very lucky in one respect. Had Obama picked a female for his VP, McCain's selection of Gov. Palin would have looked like a "me, too!" gesture. With Biden, though, Gov. Palin provides much better optics - a contrast that, in many respects, favors McCain.
- Libertarians seem reasonably happy with a VP Sarah Palin. The Republican Liberty Caucus says this "shows effort to court libertarian vote." Reason's Hit and Run has a number of relatively positive (or, at least, neutral) posts that seem at least open to the idea of a VP Sarah Palin. David Harsanyi calls her "as libertarian as you can hope for on a major ticket."
- I don't know if I've ever seen a single story that captured so much of the front page of Memeorandum.
- I don't think it was an accident that Gov. Palin emphasized in her speech today that she is "the commander of Alaska's National Guard..."
- I've never thought much of the experience argument. I just don't think experience is much of a predictor for the competence, agenda or priorities of a President. A VP Palin creates some interesting message problems for both McCain and Obama, though.
- Republicans will have difficulty advancing an "inexperienced, unqualified, not ready" argument against Obama.
- Meanwhile, Democrats are already claiming that Gov. Palin is unqualified. But Gov. Palin has been a Governor (executive experience) for only a bit less time than Obama has been a back-bench Senator, and she's already cleaned out a hell of a lot more corruption than Obama has. I'm not sure that's an argument that the Left really wants to win. They may be able to damage the bottom of McCain's ticket, but the collateral damage would be the top of their ticket.
Disagree that Sarah Palin counters our "inexperienced" criticism
Obama is at the top of the ticket. If he's not ready, that's the fate of the country in his hands. The bigger liability here is for the Obama team to make the "she's unqualified" case back at us.
Because quite frankly, if they want to say 2 years as an active governor isn't enough to be VICE President, but 4 years doing nothing in the Senate is enough to be PRESIDENT? That's tough for anyone to swallow.
We can still continue to drive home the point that Obama is not ready to lead, regardless of the Palin pick. The fact of the matter is that she's not on the top of the ticket. McCain didn't need to pick an experienced, ready-to-lead VP...he's got enough experience leading on his own. (though I'd argue in a way he did pick someone with experience, given her time as a gov)
Governor beats Senator
Governor beats Senator as preparation for President.
That is why we pick Presidents more from the Governors than from the Senators.
For every JFK, you have a Reagan, Clinton, and GW Bush.
Sarah Palin has had more preparation for the Presidency than Barack Obama. Maybe thats daming by faint praise but its a path that is perilous for the Obama campaign.
And she's just our *VP* pick not the top of the ticket.
McCain's age is an issue
McCain didn't need to pick an experienced, ready-to-lead VP
I disagree. McCain turned 72 today. Palin's "inexperience" can become factor.
what Kristen said
Palin and Obama have roughly equal credentials in terms of overall experience, but I'd give the slight edge to Palin since she has executive experience. Either way, I have to laugh at the Democrats who argue "We can't have a woefully underqualified person one heartbeat away from the Presidency! We need a woefully underqualified person to be President right away!!"
Dems in partisan pickle over Palin pick
"We can't have a woefully underqualified person one heartbeat away from the Presidency! We need a woefully underqualified person to be President right away!!"
The Dems ability to believe their own lies is their greatest weakness. If they could realize how stupid they sound to normal people when they apply their double standards, they wouldnt 'step in it'.
McCain was very lucky in one respect. Had Obama picked a female for his VP, McCain's selection of Gov. Palin would have looked like a "me, too!" gesture. With Biden, though, Gov. Palin provides much better optics - a contrast that, in many respects, favors McCain.
You think he would have choosen Palin if Obama chose Clinton? I think he would have gone with Cantor or Steele.
This was one suprising pick, that's for sure. But i retrospect the best move given the fact that Obama was nit ever going to pick Hillary.
Very Excited!!!!!
I am so excited about the Republican Nominee Sarah Palin!!! She truly is a breath of fresh air and I think it's ridiculous how the Dem. are trying so hard to find something wrong with her. McCain was very wise to pick her and I feel confident that the both of them can actually do something about the problems that we face in our country. They complement eachother with their strengths.
the thrill has worn off already
Yikes. It seemed brilliant this morning, and already I'm having doubts about Palin. How is she ever going to get up to speed on the issues? She doesn't even know what McCain's positions are.
I love her, but this one is going to end badly.
Republicans are lovably carmudgeonly and realistic
but can we please get a grip on reality here? Sarah Palin is going to out-fox, out-debate, out-govern and out-smart both Biden and Obama with her ponytail tied behind her back. Are there so many conservative atheists out there (including at my own house) that we have simply lost touch with that elemental thing we used to call Faith? It does move mountains, and it's going to move this electorate, so buck up and have a little.
This is nothing personal to you chris, but honestly - I've never seen such an unhappy, grumbling, discouraged, disgruntled group of people in my life as the ones who live in this great country of ours. You'd think we were all being oppressed daily by evils beyond our control on both Right and Left. It's just appalling. Sarah Palin's optimism, spirit and dedication to her country and the thankless job of dealing with all the opposition is an incredible inspiration. She's a real American hero to put herself out there for the Republican ticket like this. The Left has already started spraypainting a bullseye on her back. I'll be supporting her with every thought, every prayer, every fiber of my being. And the old dude, too.
A woman after my own heart
I didn't support Hillary Clinton "simply because she's a woman" because I don't think it's right to vote for a person (or to NOT vote for a person, for that matter!!) just because they're male, female, black, white, or whatever. One should vote on the issues and if they are in alignment with the way you believe. I am thrilled to bits at the nomination of Gov. Palin as the Republican VP for these very reasons. She is a successful governor and in a short time has had a lot of impact in her state. I would be dishonest if I didn't admit that I'm tickled that we'll have a woman as our next VP, but it's more the things she stands for and against which make me so pleased at McCain's choice. I am a conservative Republican and I am on board with her 100%.
I think a strong point in this pick is that they don't see eye to eye on every single issue. What this shows is that McCain was willing to pick someone who wasn't a carbon copy of his exact political viewpoints but will bring some different ideas to his Presidency. Where he is a more moderate Republican, she appears to be more conservative. This should appeal for all Republicans to some degree and add an element of the diversity that the Left so earnestly cries for. I think it was a very smart, and rather humble, move on his part and will make for a good partnership.
I was going to vote for McCain anyhow, but this completely seals the deal for me.
Well, well, well
Let the parlor tricks begin----lol------A 72 year old President picking someone that has less experience and leadership skills then most mid--level supervisors in any big corporation in the US. John McCain's age and judgment that should be examined closely.
Palin beats mid-level manager which beats Obama
I'm a midlevel manager and I've never been the Governor of the geographically largest state in the union.
Now I *am* more qualified than Obama to be a chief executive based on prior experience, since he's only been in charge of his mouth, but ...
Palin's got me beat. Way beat.
Which means Palin beats Obama.
When did the Governor of the largest land-mass in the U.S.
suddenly become equal to a mid-level manager (no offense of course, FT)? When the Democrats started having Obamanxiety attacks, that's when. When the Google stats showed that Sarah Palin news completely buried the Invesco yawn before the graffiti was even swept up and the garbage "recycled" (it's so hard to be green at a political convention).
Gunthestops, these are pathetic arguments from your side, but I guess you have to try to go somewhere with something because it would be so impossibly difficult to admit that you really can't go anywhere because you have nothing.
Your time and energy might be better spent asking Obama how he plans on locating the address of Bin Laden's cave, or whether he'll plan on embezzling our $150 Billion in the same way that he and Ayers squandered the $100 Million of the Annenberg Challenge and the taxpayers of Illinois on political cronies and special interest groups without one dime being actually applied to the poor schoolchildren of Chicago. Your man has no plan, and he may be staring down the barrel of Stanley Kurtz's Annenberg investigation results in mere days. Since Kurtz has the reputation of "the real life Indiana Jones", this may be cause for concern. Look into it, won't you? Along with all the free speech violations that Obama's thugs have rained down on ABC News, Kurtz, WGN Chicago and anyone who stands in the way of any story leaking out to the public which he wants to squash. Life is about to get very, very interesting for the Obama campaign. Trust me. Trust every conservative blogger in the alternative media, trust Talk Radio, and trust Professor Kurtz. We are all united in one goal: to shine the harsh light of truth directly into the eyes of your candidate.
Meanwhile, please continue to enjoy trying to find silly and meaningless arguments against ours.
my humble views
Truth be told, I'm not enamored of the choice. I would have perferred someone like Mitt Romney, who exudes competence and who even democrats agree is ready to be president, even as they call him a scumbag. Palin really, at least at this point, does not pass that test. Yet I think she could stillbe a election winning choice, if McCain changes some campaign themes.
1. On a positive note, he really has to reclaim his 2000 mavrick reformer image. He already seems to be doing this. I expect we will see a flood of ads touting his and Palins mavrick ppostions and reform work, particullarly their clashes with the republican party. This can be a winning theme.
2. I think McCain will really have to abandon his IS HE READY TO LEAD celebrity tagline. Democrats will tear it to shreds. I think a "who is the real Obama" negative campain can be effective. Where Obama's grandiose claims and mild demenar are couplesd with his shady connections ( ayers, Rezko, Wright). As well him making moderate issue statements couple with his votes against outlawing infanticide or supportering handgun ban etc... "which is the real Obama"
Mitt Romney for Treasury Secty
Romney has given generously to serve it different ways. He's a class act who I am sure is at peace with Palin as VP, as he pursues other achievements.
I also was thinking Romney would be great for VP, but now that I see how Palin pick has played out already, I know this was the right pick.
Palin as VP is better than Romney electorally - this is a 'real woman' a union member and a 'hockey Mom' rather than a rich white guy the Dems will stereotype ... She's got NRA and prolife supporters locked up instantly (more so than Romney would do) and substantively, as a more genuine and popular conservative reformer, she fits the McCain 'brand' better. Romney was Establishment GOP and Palin is Reformer GOP. Reformers will win, establishment will not. And McCain and Palin wont have to defend earlier statements in primaries or the VP's houses owned, etc.
Romney was tagged a flipflopper in the primary and he was not the conservative base's real hearts desire. We wanted 'reagan'. Romney tried out for it but he never convinced all (not to mention the anti-mormon factor that held him back).
Palin has very genuine conservative views and background. I think in time she will grow in her role as VP and be a unifying leader for the conservative base of the GOP. Both libertarians *and* Christian Right are ecstatic, which tells me that the 'magic person' that was missing in the 2008 primary has been found ... in Palin.
that's why you see the headlines here "Great for America" "Unites the Right" "A Perfect Pick" "very smart"...
I think McCain will really have to abandon his IS HE READY TO LEAD celebrity tagline. Democrats will tear it to shreds
Let the Dems try. Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined. mayor and state agency board member and Governor. The more I think about the pick the more I like it. Palin will help give the GOP their MOJO back.
A rejoinder to the experience quips
McCain could say this:
Frankly I would not have even considered someone with Senator Obama's resume to serve as Vice President . My final list was between Governor Palin, Governor Pawlenty and Governor Romney. All of whom actually managed something recently.

Thoracentesis (Taking a Sample of Fluid From Around the Lungs)
Thoracentesis is done to figure out what may be causing fluid to build up in the chest around the lungs (called a pleural effusion). Some diseases, such as pneumonia and cancer, can cause a large amount of fluid to build up in the space around the lungs. Thoracentesis involves placement of a needle and/or thin, hollow plastic tube in between the ribs and into the chest to get some of the fluid for testing. Thoracentesis may also be done to make patients more comfortable, by relieving some of the pressure on the lungs. The needle (or tube) is removed after a few minutes when the procedure is completed.
Common reasons for its use and benefits:
When the cause of a build up of fluid inside the chest is not known, getting a sample of the fluid can help in reaching an answer. The most common reasons for doing a thoracentesis are:
- New effusion - Thoracentesis may be done on any patient with the new onset of fluid in the chest without obvious cause to help make a diagnosis.
- Infection - When an infection is suspected in the fluid in the chest, thoracentesis may be done to help make a diagnosis.
- Cancer - Some cancers spread and cause fluid to build up in the chest. In this situation, thoracentesis may be done to help make a diagnosis. Thoracentesis may be the simplest way to get a sample of cancer cells to make a diagnosis.
- Comfort - A large build up of fluid can be painful and interfere with being able to breathe. Removing some fluid may decrease discomfort.
Some of the risks of thoracentesis include:
- Pain during placement - Discomfort can result from the needle stick at the time it is inserted. Doctors try to lessen the pain with a local numbing medicine (anesthetic like novocaine). The discomfort is usually mild and goes away once the needle or catheter is removed.
- Bleeding - During insertion of the needle through the skin and chest wall, a blood vessel may be accidentally nicked. Bleeding is usually minor and stops on its own. Bleeding can occur as a bruise of the chest wall. Rarely bleeding can occur into or around the lung and might require drainage or surgery (see related Information Sheet on Chest Tube Thoracostomy).
- Collapsed lung - During insertion, the needle may, rarely, puncture the lung. This hole may seal quickly on its own. If the hole does not seal over, air can build around the lung and cause it to collapse (this is called pneumothorax). In such cases, a chest tube is sometimes used to drain air from around the lung (see related Information Sheet on Chest Tube Thoracostomy).

[993] HPV DNA In-Situ Hybridization, p16 and p53 in a Cohort of 128 Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinomas.
Ghassan Allo, Anna Marie Mulligan, Danny Ghazarian, Ming Tsao, Helen Mackay, Blaise A Clarke. University of Toronto, ON, Canada; University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada; St. Micheal's Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada
Background: Vulvar squamous cell carcinomas may develop via two different pathways: the most common pathway is HPV negative well differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma arising in elderly women, often in a background of lichen sclerosis and differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia; HPV positive vulvar squamous cell carcinoma occurs in younger women in association with usual vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. P53 is typically over-expressed in the former and p16 in the latter. We analyzed p16, p53 and HPV integration in a cohort of 128 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva and determined the prognostic significance of these biomarkers.
Design: An annotated, duplicate core tissue microarray of 128 cases of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma was constructed. HPV DNA in situ hybridization and p16 and p53 immunohistochemical staining were performed. Statistical analysis was performed using JMP v8.0.2 (SAS institute, Carey, NC USA).
Results: HPV and p16 positivity were highly correlated. Thirteen percent of cases were HPV positive. Of these, 87% were positive for p16 and 7% for p53. Twenty five per cent of cases were p16 positive, of which 45% were HPV positive and 18% were p53 positive. Forty-eight per cent of cases were p53 positive and of these only 1.8% were HPV positive and 10.7% p16 positive. HPV was significantly more likely to be positive in p16 positive cancers than p53 positive cancers (P<0.001). P53 was more likely to be positive in HPV negative cases compared to HPV positive cases (P=0.006). There was no significant difference in median age between the HPV positive and negative groups. There was no significant difference in 5 Year disease specific survival and relapse free survival based on HPV status, p16 and p53 staining.
Conclusions: This data supports a dual pathway of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma progression. Unlike previous studies on vulva cancer and head and neck squamous cancer we did not demonstrate biomarker dependent outcome differences. Correlation with HPV PCR, full section staining and morphology is being performed.

Hump-day Report 5/6/09
The Hump-day Hater
Who's dishing out the hate in the hockey world
John Tortorella
Torts got into a little bit of a heated argument in the last round of the playoffs. The problem was that it was with a Washington fan behind the visiting bench. After continuously taunting and pounding on the glass behind the New York coach, Tortorella snapped into action…or should I just say snapped?
After spraying water through a partition in the glass, Tortorella proceeded to then throw the bottle into the stands and wave Aaron Voros' stick at the crowd. The Washington fans succeeded at their task and got Tortorella suspended for game six in Madison Square Garden. Not that it mattered, by that point the Capitals (who were still down 3-2) were in charge of the series.
If only they could've held on to that series. I feel bad for the team that has Washington now. Oh wait…
Tap of the Stick/Drop of the Gloves
Who deserves a pat on the back; and who deserves a punch in the face
Drop of the Gloves: The media
It only took a couple hours for ESPN to turn attention to the only two players who matter in our series (apparently): Dupuis and Laich
Ok, I was just seeing if you were paying attention. I, of course, mean Crosby and Ovechkin.
When Carolina came back to score two late goals against New Jersey in the first round and everyone knew it would be Pens/Caps, national media like NBC and ESPN began drooling like a hyena chasing a three-legged antelope.
The very next morning, Barry Melrose was allowed to talk on Sports Center. For a minute, I thought he was making sense. He said that it wasn't about the players and that it was more about the teams.
Shame on me for six weeks for believing that.
Later in the show, Melrose interviewed Alex Ovechkin live and did everything but tell him that he has beautiful eyes (which would've been very awkward). He began, "I'm joined by Alex Ovechkin, who I believe is the greatest player in hockey.â€
NBC was better. Milbury actually took Crosby over Ovechkin during his and McGuire's mock two-person draft on their intermission monkey show Saturday afternoon. But that still defeats the purpose. Just because it's Crosby doesn't mean that it's right. We shouldn't be picking anyone over anyone else. In the regular season? Maybe. But not in the playoffs.
Objectivity never killed the cat, boys and girls. So it's safe to use it.
Tap of the Stick: Jonas Hiller
It was Conklin last season, Clemmensen during this season, and now Hiller in the post-season. The Ducks have rallied behind this 27-year-old goalie who virtually came out of nowhere. A few years ago, Hiller was living it up with HC Davos in the Swiss league. He got his start with Anaheim last season and finished out this season very strong for the Ducks.
But all that hails in comparison to what he's done in that past few weeks.
Take a look at these post-season numbers:
Most shots against: 375
Most saves made: 358
Best save percentage: .955
Third in GAA: 1.74/game
Playoff leading 2 shutouts.
And this all isn't just a playoff showing. During the regular season when Hiller played 46 games for the Ducks (most of which were in the second half), he was sixth in the league for save percentage and seventh for GAA.
He looked very strong in the triple overtime thriller on Sunday in Detroit and equally as impressive in last night's home victory over the Red Wings.
Drop of the Gloves: Brian Engblom
Brian, just shave your head and start all over again. Nothing you can do to your hair will change what you've done in the past.
Not so fast!
Who's getting more credit than the deserve
Simeon Varlomov
I'd love to give this guy credit, and I know I'll get some flack for this, but that save he made on Sidney Crosby on Saturday during game 1 was not all his doing. I'm not going to say that he had nothing to do with the save, because it was a great effort by him and a great showing of flexibility. Also, I'm not saying that any game as a whole that he's played hasn't been spectacular.
But Sidney Crosby, what are you doing? You have a wide open cage and you put it in the only place where Varlomov can reach the puck. Had you elevated the puck two inches, you would've scored. Had you put the puck just inside the post, you would've scored. Had you put the puck anywhere else except where you did, you would've scored.
Instead, Caps win 3-2 and start off the series 1-0. Keep reading…it gets worse.
Barrel of Monkeys
Which team is really coming together
Chicago Blackhawks
After winning a very convincing opening-round series against Calgary, the Blackhawks continue to impress. Though game one of their series with Vancouver (who many are picking to go to the finals) didn't go their way, they still looked good.
After being shut out by Luongo in the first two periods, the Blackhawks offense got a swift kick in the pants and erased a 3-0 lead in the third period. A late goal by Sami Salo and an empty-netter sealed the deal at 5-3. But Chicago showed that they had the fight in them. Patrick Kane was particularly impressive with a 1.00 shooting percentage: two shots, two goals.
Game 2 went much better for the young team. Despite Vancouver jumping out to a 2-0 lead, Chicago didn't lose their heads and scored five straight goals on Roberto Luongo. They would then add an empty-netter to cap it off for a 6-3 decision.
Kane scored once again, accompanied by two apiece for Patrick Sharp and Dave Bolland and a wrister from Ben Eager.
I have to admit, I'm impressed by this very young team for keeping such composure with as much pressure on them as they have. Toews and Kane are doing a very good job leading the team.
Even through last night's loss at home to Vancouver, Chicago was able to apply pressure to the Canucks throughout the game. That alone, given their experience, is an accomplishment. There's a bright future for hockey in Chicago.
Killer Whale
The week's Penguin killer
Kelly Sutherland
First, as Mike Adams noted in his game grades, Sutherland called the trip on Letang's beautiful defensive play on the breakaway in the first period. Even Stevie Wonder saw Letang hit the puck first.
Then, for a short while, I was upset after the third Capital goal that Ovechkin scored on the power play. Then I realized it must be legal to trip shorthanded forwards when a super star like Ovechkin has the puck. Certainly Sutherland would've called the same thing in Crosby's favor right?
Well, the answer is no.
That situation was presented in the third period when Crosby brought the puck off of the wall when Malkin attempted to take the puck with his skate and ended up tripping up one of the Caps. I joined Mike Emerick in waiting for the even-up call, which he accurately predicted should've entailed. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and the Pens are down 2-0.
Well that concludes this week's edition of the Hump-day Report. I'll be back next week: same time, same place.

Not crazy about them
I bought these in the blue to wear with jeans and they are very light in color, more like a lavendar. I will be returning them. The tan leather one I bought are true to color and comfortable, but they do make my feet a bit warm if I wear them for too long.

Summary: America's Women tells the story of more than four centuries of history. It features a stunning array of personalities, from the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs. Courageous, silly, funny, and heartbreaking, these women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America.
By culling the most fascinating characters -- the average as wel ...show morel as the celebrated -- Gail Collins, the editorial page editor at the New York Times, charts a journey that shows how women lived, what they cared about, and how they felt about marriage, sex, and work. She begins with the lost colony of Roanoke and the early southern "tobacco brides" who came looking for a husband and sometimes -- thanks to the stupendously high mortality rate -- wound up marrying their way through three or four. Spanning wars, the pioneering days, the fight for suffrage, the Depression, the era of Rosie the Riveter, the civil rights movement, and the feminist rebellion of the 1970s, America's Women describes the way women's lives were altered by dress fashions, medical advances, rules of hygiene, social theories about sex and courtship, and the ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. While keeping her eye on the big picture, Collins still notes that corsets and uncomfortable shoes mattered a lot, too.
"The history of American women is about the fight for freedom," Collins writes in her introduction, "but it's less a war against oppressive men than a struggle to straighten out the perpetually mixed message about women's roles that was accepted by almost everybody of both genders."
Told chronologically through the compelling stories of individual lives that, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman's experience, America's Women is both a great read and a landmark work of history. ...show less

I've recently done some work to my mother's flagstone pathway that she put in a few years ago. I removed all of the weeds as well as grass from the lawn that had overtaken a lot of the path. Now we are looking into redoing the path by redigging it, adding more sand, changing out broken stone, as well as adding a groundcover plant that will help keep the other weeds and grass out. The path is in direct sun for most of the day. I've looked into creeping thyme varieties as well as Irish Moss, which seems to be a nice pick but which makes more sense? Is it better to buy the plant or the seeds? We also have a nearby birdfeeder; are the birds likely to eat the seeds if we choose that route?
Any help would be great! |

I am looking to replace Irish and Scotch moss and Corsican mint with something else. They aren't reliably evergreen for me. Not sure if they rot out or what but winter kills them back so far every year and I have to start over. Love the look, hate their growth habits or lack thereof... I'm looking at Elfin Thyme and I will be buying plants not seeds. I have no patience for seeds and most groundcovers spread really well so you don't need a ton of plants... |
'Georgia Blue' Veronica ped... is lovely in all seasons of the year here & for me grows about 8" tall flopping a bit. It doesn't like to dry out, but it does like good drainage, so not sure if it would work for your area. Thymes are excellent, but need to be carefully weeded until established into a carpet. Takes precision fingers to do it, but it can be done. The dense top holds a bit of moisture & I find weeds germinating right inside it, but they're easy to pull. The bird seed might be the source of those weeds... |

I have acne-prone skin which was really bad lately. I bought it like two weeks ago and my skin starts looking clearer and less acne. My skin is also oily and when I use this before applying my make-up, my face stays more matt by the day. I usually need to powder it like every three hours and right now just 1 time. I love this product, The brand is unfortunately not for sale here and it was a sort of limited edition so I'm going to take a look if I can find any more of these. I love it!
I'm so surprised this has not been reviewed, this is one of the very best Toners I've ever used, and certainly on par with the more expensive Lancome. Although this is for "All Skin Types" this is a perfect mild formula for my dry & somewhat sensitive skin. Leaves my skin gently toned & not dry nor irritated. Although mildly perfumed it is not overly so. Also not harsh as some toners can be on my skin, some toners can leave the skin feeling tight & sting my eyes, but this one does not at all. My skin feels quite normalised & soothed after use. Comes in a large 400ml pump bottle (good for applying to a cotton pad, although you do have to put the pad right on the nozzle so liquid does not squirt elsewhere), with attractive packaging that is economical. I use this after the "Gentle Cleansing Milk" which is also a great product.

Perhaps an ode to Carine Roitfeld's recent grand-motherhood, the CR Fashion Book 'Lullaby' editorial shines with a chic take on nurturing. Models Mei Van Haaster and Marie Piovesan play Parisian-style moms in this spread for the first issue of CR Fashion book. The baby motif reigns supreme as fall fashion and sleek lines give the models a motherly glow of lean style. The monochromatic editorial was captured by photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino.
Though there is certainly a cohesive maternal theme, the piece is also vastly fascinating in its garment story. All black and sleek, the novel pieces showcase an elongated silhouette and pristine tailoring. Glorying motherhood, the CR Fashion Book 'Lullaby' editorial suggests the the chic potential of maternal style.

Unidentified Crest of a Blue Greyhound in an Incunable
Jul 13, 2011 2:15 pm
Tad Boehmer
While cataloging an Italian edition of St Augustine's "De civitate Dei" (Venice?: Antonio di Bartolommeo Miscomini, about 1476-1478), I was pleasantly surprised to come across a beautiful illumination. The table of contents makes up the first ten leaves of this volume, but the opening page of the text proper (leaf a1 recto) displays a stunning hand-painted border and initial "E". The border is made up of foliage, pink and blue flowers, and fruit, and is ornamented with black penwork and tiny dots of gold leaf. The two columns of text are divided by a foliate column, and the initial, which is set in a ground of gold leaf, continues this leafy motif.
Parfumeries & Robert de Montesquiou
Jun 17, 2011 4:45 pm
Caroline Szylowicz
Musee retrospectif de la classe 90. Parfumeries (matieres premieres, materiel, procedes et produits) a l'exposition universelle internationale, a Paris. Rapport de M. le comte Robert de Montesquiou [Retrospective Museum of Class 90. Perfumeries (raw materials, equipment, processes and products) at the universal, international exhibition, in Paris. Report by Count Robert de Montesquiou.] The bureaucratic-looking title is barred by a bold inscription in purple ink, in the unusual, flourishing handwriting of Robert de Montesquiou, a well-known, if misunderstood figure of the Belle Epoque. Born in one of the oldest families of the French nobility, Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac (1855-1921) was a prolific poet, novelist, art critic, chronicler, memoirist, as well as a designer, book collector and patron of the arts. He had ties with countless authors, artists, composers and craftsmen of the time. He was portrayed by numerous artists, including Laszlo, La Gandara, Whistler, and inspired characters in books by J. K. Huysmans, Jean Lorrain, and, most notably, Marcel Proust. His origins, lavish lifestyle and colorful personality contributed to his reputation as a 'dilettante', which prevented him from being recognized as the original and talented creator that he was. Montesquiou was a lifelong friend of Proust and served as a mentor before he was surpassed by his pupil, who borrowed some of his traits for his character, Charlus. Their correspondence, held in part in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library's Proust collection, is peppered with references to Montesquious many publications, most of which can be found at Illinois either in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library or the Kolb-Proust Archive for Research. While they were primarily acquired to support the Professor Philip Kolb research on Proust's correspondence, they constitute a rare collection of works by an author who was also a bibliophile and an important patron of binders and other book artists of his time.

Julia Miller: Scaleboard Bindings and a Visit to RBML
Jun 6, 2011 9:45 am
On Wednesday, June 1, the Rare Book & Manuscript Library welcomed book-binding historian Julia Miller to the library. Ms. Miller is the author of "Books Will Speak Plain: A Handbook For Identifying and Describing Historical Bindings" (The Legacy Press). In the morning, we invited Ms. Miller to join catalogers, binders, and others interested in the book arts in a stump the expert session at the library. We were unable to stump Ms. Miller, however, with any of the many and varied types of bindings we pulled from the vault. She taught us much about binding types and techniques and she was impressed with some of the examples we were able to show her. From sealskin to pastepaper and from bullet clasps to home-spun coverings on scabbard bindings, we studied and talked as two and a half hours flew by.
William Paul Schenk Papers--New Acquisition Related to Carl Sandburg
May 23, 2011 11:00 am
The Rare Book Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of the William Paul Schenk Papers from his estate early in 2011. In addition to many of his own manuscripts, the William Schenk papers contain a treasure trove of articles, correspondence, and photographs concerning Carl Sandburg and his family. Schenk greatly admired the famous poet and worked for him briefly as his secretary and research assistant. Many of Schenk's photographs were taken during the time he lived with the Sandburg family on their goat farm in North Carolina. They capture Sandburgs day-to-day activities including writing in his office, spending time with his family, and sitting in his chair playing his guitar.

The Renaissance Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books, a lecture by David Price

Today! April 13, 2011, 3:00 PM Rare Book & Manuscript Library, 346 Main Library The Renaissance Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books A lecture by David Price Professor of Religious Studies University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign In conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, Miracle within a Miracle: Johannes Reuchlin and the Jewish Book Controversy, which celebrates the 500th anniversary of Reuchlins defense of Jewish writings. The Rare Book & Manuscript Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the inaugural venue for an exhibition to mark the 500th anniversary of the publication of Johannes Reuchlins Augenspiegel (Eye Glasses), a work written in opposition to an imperial mandate to destroy all Jewish books. Reuchlins impassioned and ultimately successful defense of Jewish writings and legal rights represents a stunning intervention by a Christian scholar later acknowledged by a Jewish leader as a miracle within a miracle.

Reviews for Low-Fat Potato Soup
Sort By :
"Tripled the recipe as I had a lot of potatoes on hand. Only had one can of evaporated milk, so added 1/2 c half half (there goes low fat) and 2 1/4 c skim milk . I also chopped up some carrots and sauteed carrots, celery, onion and 2 garlic cloves in little bit of butter, before adding broth and potatoes and milk. Used low fat cheddar cheese - it was very good"
"No one would ever guess this was low in fat and calories, it is that good! I sauteed the onions & celery in a little bit of light butter for a few minutes, then added the potatoes and broth and continued on with the recipe. I used 2% sharp cheddar cheese and garnished the top with sliced scallions and a couple of slices of crispy bacon. Divine! Hubby said it was the best potato soup ever....10 stars from us!"
"This was super good, quick, and easy."
"I used a 32oz. container of fat free broth and doubled the veggies. Also used 1 cup of Colby Jack cheese instead of reduce fat cheddar. I also used Lawreys seasoning pepper and garlic powder."
"Loves the soup. My picky husband and son loved it. So this recipe is a keeper!"

Trailer hub-and-drum assembly includes lug nuts, inner bearing (25580) and race, outer bearing (14125A) and race, grease cap and grease seal. Fits 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb axles with spindles that require a 2-1/8" ID grease seal.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
Video of Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - 1/2" Studs
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer
installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today were going to review part number 8-219-4UC3. This is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly with an 8 on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern for 1/2-inch studs. This trailer Hub and Drum Assembly will include your eight 1/2-inch cone seat lug nuts. It will include the inner bearing, part number 25580, it will include the outer bearing part number 14125A, it will include the grease seal which is a 2-1/8 inch diameter grease seal, and will also include the grease cap which goes over the hub right there. Now the bearing races are included also. They are already installed, pressed into the hub.
There is the outer, and when I spin this around youll be able to see the inner race right there. The application on this Hub and Drum Assembly will fit the 5200 to 7000-lb Dexter axles. It has a drum dimension of 12 inches by 2 inches wide. The stud diameter for the wheel studs is 1/2 inch. The bolt pattern is an 8 lug 6-1/2 inch pattern.
Now the capacity on this Hub and Drum assembly is 3500 lbs. So when this one is used with another Hub and Drum Assembly on the other side of the axle it will give you the max of 7000 lbs. I do want to give you a few dimensions. The bolt pattern which we mentioned is 8 lugs 6-1/2 inch. So basically the way you would measure that is on a Hub and Drum that has an even amount of lugs which in this case would be eight, you just take one or pick any of the studs and measure from the center of that to the one directly across from that.
So if you go from center to center it will be 6-1/2 inches and that will give you the 8 lug 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The other dimension I would want to give to you is the drum size. It is 12 inches. Thats the measurement of the inner of the drum. And then the width will be 2 inches.
So this Hub and Drum assembly will work with 12-inch by 2-inch brake assemblies. And that should do it for our review on part number 8-8-219-4UC3.

comment by: pete b - 07/21/2013
Most mobile home axles are built with an odd sized spindle that do not have any available hubs with a traditional trailer wheel bolt pattern. The only want to be sure is to either get the bearing numbers off the old bearings or to measure the spindle diameters with a dial or digital caliper, at least to the 1/100th. Bearing numbers is by far the easiest. Check out the link to the spindle below. There is a diagram that shows the measurements that you will need to take in order to positively determine whether or not a hub is available.

Drawception is an ingenious idea that intertwines games like Pictionary and Telephone that usually end with hysterical laughter. This game combination comes in the form of a web game similar to the popular 'Draw Something,' where players have to guess what others are trying to illustrate.
The game starts with one player making up a phrase and continues with others trying to depict it. A new player then describes the drawing and this goes on until 12 players finish. For example, the first phrase can be "Spiderman shooting out his web," which can end into something like "Man in tights hanging from a telephone wire."
At the end, an e-mail is sent to all participants and the original phrase is revealed. Like telephone, the first message usually doesn't end up reaching the end of the line, resulting in funny and strange phrases.
Take a shot at Drawception if you're an avid game player looking to get a good laugh.

According to the mainstream media, the battle for the GOP nomination is a two man race between Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The fact that Republicans are increasingly souring on Governor Perry, and have long had issues with the candidacy of Romney, is often swept aside in favor of the issue of "electability". As is so often the case with the current two-party system, the belief is that no matter the quality of your party's candidate, no one is worse than the other guys. For most Republicans, 2012 is ABBO – anybody but Barack Obama.
But is this really the case? Let's consider the past two presidential elections. In 2004 President George W. Bush defeated Senator John Kerry. Republicans win, Democrats lose – right? Wrong. A short term defeat for the Dems gives way to massive gains in 2006 and culminates in winning the White House and both branches of congress in 2008. But this victory is also short lived. Frustration with government leads to the Tea Party coming to Washington in 2010 with Democrats losing Congress and expectations of even greater losses 2012.
The moral of the lesson? Victories are only victories when there is substance to support them. Bush maintaining his previous residence in 2004 may have kept a Republican as president, but one that governed progressively with massive government spending and dramatic increases to the size of the federal government. President Obama was supposed to usher in a new age of Democratic domination, but weak leadership and a lack of economic solutions have undermined the President – and his party by proxy.
So the main question Republicans should be asking themselves is not "can ____________ beat Obama", but "can __________ fix the economy". If they aren't convinced of the latter, the former is irrelevant. In fact, a president that can't fix the economy is likely to cause more damage to their cause (be it the cause of party or country) than anything the election of Barack Obama could do.
I contend that neither Rick Perry nor Mitt Romney have any idea what is truly wrong with the American economy. Perry's talk about a "treasonous" Ben Bernanke aside, neither pays much attention to matters of monetary policy. In spite of Romney's reputation as a businessman, neither have demonstrated a sound understanding of economics (best demonstrated when Romney starts a sentence advocating the wonders of "free trade" while ending it with attacks on doing business with China.) Neither was able to identify the dangers of housing bubble before it popped. Rick Perry has run massive deficits; Mitt Romney has a bad track record of job creation and none of them have any truly substantive plan of action – Romney's vague Kindle-friendly collection of bullet points aside.
Take a second and imagine the consequences of electing a Republican to the White House, in the middle of a double-dip recession/depression, who is unable to solve the economy. Frustration with "socialism" becomes frustration with "capitalism" by a country ready to believe such over-simplifications. The gains Republicans made in 2010 are replaced with Democratic gains in 2014. 2016 comes with a Republican party essentially handcuffed to a President who has the anchor of economic crisis firmly strapped to his ankle.
Take it one step further, who benefits most from this frustration? It would need to be someone likable, as Americans will be looking for someone that can give them hope. The nation will have endured twelve years of unpopular Presidents and even less-regarded congresses, so it will have to be an "outsider" who understands that Washington is broken. With the rich still comfortable and the poor still supported, it will be the middle class who suffers the greatest brunt of the pain, so they will naturally be looking for an advocate.
My fear is that Elizabeth Warren could be that advocate. A Harvard Professor with an irritatingly effective folksy charm, Warren is the most dangerous sort of radical progressive – one who rarely offends. She will be sold as a "grandmother from Oklahoma", who warned of the "collapse of the middle class before anyone else". A "consumer advocate" who went to Washington to try to "make it easy for families to understand the fine print on their credit cards". A champion "for the cause of the angles" (as at least one Democratic congressman has described her) who was overlooked by Obama due to "the wishes of Tim Geithner and the big banks that feared her." All of this is total crap, but it sure does sound good. By the time 2016 comes around, she is likely to have had four years in the Senate and a record in government since 2008. With Obama failing to nominate her to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) she personally crafted, Warren can simultaneously point to her time in the administration as "executive experience" without being tarred by a connection with Obama.
If Warren isn't the Democrat of choice in 2016, someone similar will be. A Democratic base spurned by the "moderate" Obama isn't going to elect Tim Kaine. The Progressive intellectuals have already set their pieces for the long term better, the unprecedented stimulus package passed in 2009 was "too small" according to their go-to economist Paul Krugman. Any pragmatic Republican must take such a future into consideration. Elections have consequences, policy decisions matters.
How many times must history repeat itself before people start taking its lessons to heart? Holding your nose at the polls to elect your party guy isn't practical, it's tragically short sighted.

"The Republican forces took the town without any resistance," said
Madou Kone, a resident. Salam Kone, another resident, confirmed that

Forces backing internationally recognised Ivory Coast
president Alassane Ouattara entered the town of San Pedro
Wednesday night, which holds the world's largest cocoa
exporting port, residents said.
"They have entered the town, they are firing heavy weapons
downtown," a resident told AFP by telephone.
"There was an exchange of fire in the northern entry a little
after 10:00pm. Intense shooting quickly spread throughout the
centre," said another resident.
Earlier Wednesday, the pro-Ouattara fighters, sweeping rapidly
south in an offensive to wrest control from Laurent Gbagbo who
refuses to cede power after a disputed election, seized the
political capital Yamoussoukro.
Hit by fresh UN sanctions on Wednesday, the grip is tightening
around Gbagbo's regime as his rival's forces move ever closer
to the economic capital Abidjan, the seat of his power.
Three hours after announcing Gbagbo would be addressing the
nation, a highly awaited speech promised more than two weeks
ago, his spokesman announced late Wednesday that the address
has been postponed.
Spokesman Ahoua Don Mello made a very brief appearance on
state television RTI, saying Gbagbo was following the
situation in the country closely and "has postponed his
address to the nation to a later time."
A disputed November election, which Ouattara is widely
recognised as having won, has plunged the country into
conflict as Gbagbo stubbornly clings to power.
Ouattara's camp, weary with failed diplomatic efforts, has
declared all peaceful solutions "exhausted."
"Gbagbo has only a few hours to leave, otherwise we will march
on Abidjan and it will become a lot more complicated for him,"
Ouattara's prime minister Guillaume Soro told France24 on
Wednesday evening.

The TPR number is a combination of:
3DMark 11, Heaven Benchmark V2, Resident Evil 5, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2, Mafia 2 (PhysX Off), Lost Planet 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV, Far Cry 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum (PhysX Off) and our four High Quality tests which include Mafia 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV and Far Cry 2.
All of the benchmark results achieved are then combined into a single number. As this graph will grow over time and cards won't be re-tested, next to each model you'll find the driver version that was used when the card was benchmarked.
Over the reference clocked card the MSI Cyclone Power Edition really offers a strong performance boost and closes that gap between the HD 6850 and HD 6870.

The Portland Timbers play host to Real Salt Lake Sunday evening at JELD-WEN Field (6 PM, ESPN), the second leg of the Western Conference Finals the stage for two teams vying for a berth in the MLS Cup.
RSL hold the advantage after a 4-2 triumph over Portland in the first leg in Utah, and following a two week break both teams are rested and ready to take the pitch in a winner takes all (by aggregate) matchup. The Timbers must win by at least two goals just to take the game to extra time, a three goal margin of victory required to win outright.
Both sides enter the contest at full strength, the only notable injuries the lingering muscle strains of the Timbers Argentine contingent of Diego Valeri and Maximiliano Urruti. Both are expected to be available come matchday, although Urruti may find a place harder to come by with Ryan Johnson and Frederic Piquionne ahead of him in the playoff pecking order.
Captain Will Johnson scored the opening goal against his old club, but the skipper surely would exchange that goal for a different outcome this time around. Four straight goals from Salt Lake followed Johnson's opener, Chris Schuler equalizing before Robbie Findley took advantage of a defensive gaffe by Mamadou 'Futty' Danso to slot past Donovan Ricketts to take the lead.
Additional tallies from impressive rookie Devon Sandoval and playmaker Javier Morales looked to put the game out of reach, but a late consolation from Piquionne provided Portland a lifeline in injury time to offer a glimmer of hope in the return leg this weekend.
The Timbers are due for a result against RSL after coming up short in five previous attempts this year in regular season, US Open Cup, and playoff matches, 3-3 and nil-nil draws the best results with the other three ending in defeat.
Whether Portland can win by a wide enough margin is the real challenge, a not insurmountable feat as evidenced by France overturning a similar deficit as they claimed their spot in the World Cup while dumping the Ukraine in the process.
The Timbers Army will be praying that some correlation between origins starting with the letter U can provide a superstitious mystique to the match, and that the Utah based club suffers a similar fate to the Ukrainians.
After two weeks of careful preparation Portland manager Caleb Porter will rely little on hope to see his side advance, but even he will admit a little luck won't hurt his chances of finally getting one over on counterpart Jason Kreis, who so far has the first year coach's proverbial number.
While some might say neither man can truly influence the match from the sidelines, there's no question men like Morales and company are more than capable of turning the momentum in an instant.
The Timbers boast plenty of options in attack with Darlington Nagbe a constant threat, but for the Timbers to win they must shore up the back four that includes Danso and Pa Modou Kah in the middle and Jack Jewsbury and Michael Harrington on the flanks.
The normally reliable Ricketts was left exposed last time out, and it will be up to Will Johnson and Diego Chara to make sure the gaps in midfield are not left open for Real to exploit again. Porter may be tempted to drop another body deeper in midfield, but with two goals to make up the sacrifice of Rodney Wallace is too much to ask.
Kreis might also consider redeploying the defensive approach that saw RSL shut out the Timbers in the Rose City in October, yet employing the opposite strategy could prove more effective knowing Portland must push forward early and often.
Salt Lake are likely to retain an attack minded setup, the question is who starts with Alvaro Saborio available, meaning Sandoval or Findley are not guaranteed a spot after scoring last time out.
Sebastian Velasquez and Luis Gil provide pace on the wings with captain Kyle Beckerman in behind Morales, but a deep RSL bench means Ned Grabavoy and Joao Plata are in competition for places as well.
Former Timber Lovel Palmer may suit up from the opening whistle if Chris Wingert fails to recover from injured ribs that forced him to leave early in the last game, the defense rounded out with Schuler alongside Nat Borchers at centerback and Tony Beltran on the flank.
Netminder Nick Rimando is a more than capable backstop for Real, the player instrumental in thwarting scoring efforts for the Timbers when it really matters.
The loss at RSL was a major letdown for Portland after a massive derby win over the Seattle Sounders, so the onus is on the Timbers to find a way to harness the energy the home crowd provides to find a way to stay alive in the postseason.
The key for Real is to convert that atmosphere to anxiety before Portland can find a foothold, if one goal gets by the visitors there is little chance of the Timbers letting off like they did after taking an early lead at the Rio Tinto.
However the match concludes one thing is sure, the end of the campaign trail ends for at least one club in the Rose City come Sunday, while one moves on for a chance to hoist the league's biggest prize in the MLS Cup.
