I do NOT recommend this product. Here are my points :
-My dark circles are pretty dark and I also have some veins there so I was looking for a concealer with good coverage but this is just not the one. The coverage is really light.
- Gets so greasy. My under eye areas are dry so this is really weird.
- Don't try to hide pimples. It doesn't cover ANYTHING and it would just get oily.
- So, so, so ORANGE. What the heck is that.

I have used this every day for about six months and really like it! I have a real problem with dark circles under my eyes and this seems to illuminate the skin and make it look youthful and bright. The formula is pretty thin and I always have to blend with my fingers but that makes it look natural, unlike the thick cream concealers which cake and crack. This is a great product!
Could not tell a difference when using this, and I used it morning and night for a couple of months, until the product ran out. I however, have fairly dark eye bags and deep hollows in my eyes, so it might work better for someone with minor or less severe eye problems.
One thing I really liked though, was the cooling effect the product had, I really like the metal rollerball, and I thought the product was packaged really well.
I'll admit this is definitely not the best under eye concealer out there, although there are many things I do like about this product. I love the cooling effect it gives from the metal ball tip, it's great for just waking up. And it is very brightening, so you could even use this as a highlight if you'd like. But since it doesn't deliver as much coverage as I would like, I use a different concealer first, then apply this product after and it gives such a pretty highlight under the eyes. It goes on so smooth and is very blendable and lasts a VERY long time. I honestly can't remember when I purchased this and I've been using the same one since! The only other downside of this product is that it only comes in one very light shade. Overall I would recommend this product for it's decent price.
I like the sheer finish and moisture content when I layered up on top of a thick concealer this helps to adjust the colour tone . I love it pretty much however now there is only a colour to choose from the drugstore
I've had this product for 3 years, and it still hasn't come close to running out! It will certainly last you awhile, and I should probably buy another one for hygiene purposes. I love the metal-rollerball. It's so refreshing to roll on your face. The concealer itself is just a lightweight brightening concealer. It's not thick enough to cover dark circles, and I haven't noticed any differences as far as the "skincare benefits." I don't have deep, dark circles though, so this concealer is quite nice for me. Great packaging, lasts awhile, and feels nice to put on!
I'm on the fence with this product, i have used it for years for my dark circles and it does a decent job. It is a very light concealer and can be used all over the face without going cakey which is one of the reasons i love it. However because it's so natural looking it doesn't do that good of a job at covering my bad dark circles. I enjoyed using when they weren't so bad but as they're getting worse due to a busier schedule i find the coverage isn't sufficient. The packaging is perfect for under eyes and isn't messy and it lasts a LONG time. I would probably have to throw out because of hygiene and not the product running out.

I love this. I use it as concealer and at night. I have seen no improvement in my circles but I love the shade medium deep it is perfect for my medium tone. I love how natural it looks on the skin. I also use as a spot concealer when my skin looks pretty good, set it with a powder and it looks very natural. Love love love
One roller will last a very long time.
So so disappointed that I can no longer find this anywhere.
It has been replaced by a piece of junk squeeze tube version. It does not even compare to how good this product is. so sad companies always get rid of the good stuff.
Stop trying to improve something that is not broke.
I liked this product more than I expected.
I have AWFUL dark circles and this gives decent coverage. I wear this on days where I don't feel like wearing a full face of makeup but also don't feel like getting a million "are you tired?" questions. No, I'm not, I just have dark circles.
It's really easy to apply and it gives a nice and natural looking coverage. The shade selection isn't that great but I'm super pale so I didn't have a problem with it.
I still use my HG Hard Candy's glamoflauge concealer when I wear a full face of makeup, though.
I love it. Best concealer ever. The only thing us that you have to learn how to use this. I had it wrong the first time. The idea is to apply itp (it's got a liquid kind of consistency) and let it settle for about 10 minutes. Then you can use your fingers to distribute the rest thab wasn't "absorbed" by your skin. It's worth thw wait!

Answers to air cargo's problems still elusive?
"Where we are in 2014 is not much further than where we were in 2010. We can have no level of confidence in screening done to piece level," she said.
Reeder sees differing standards between companies as a further complication.
"There are too many business models in play. What happens at DHL is different from what happens in FedEx or at Atlas," she said.
Annegret Rohloff, policy officer, risk management and security in the European Commission's Taxation and Customs Directorate, said experiences and results from pilot projects were being shared with the U.S.
"We have even started compiling joint principles. We agree on most things – the data we would like transmitted, filing systems, and mitigation measures," she said.
Vertannes said there are still "transit black holes" around the world, which is why the EU felt obliged to introduce its ACC3 regulations (Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport).
Despite the industry's efforts, Vertannes acknowledged that mail, express and general cargo sectors "still progress at different speeds." But he claimed that the Cargo 2000 master operating plan, no longer solely an IATA initiative but backed by the whole industry, provides the transparency regulators are looking for.

Atlanta 'coming together' to quell violence against black children
From the continuing anguish here over the murder of 11 ad disappearnce of five other black youths in the past 16 months, has come: * An outpouring of concern that transcends racial, religious, and economic differences.
* Actions by a number of citizen groups to guide parents and childrenin practical steps to take to reduce the risk of further tragedy on the streets.
* One of the nation's most intense criminal investigations to find the killer , or killers.
* Lingering accusations by some of the mothers of the children, and others, that the Atlanta Police Department moved too slowly in gearing up their investigation.
* A glimpse into the world of black ghetto children today.
The tragic events that might have led to racil tensions or confrontations between blacks and police has instead led to cooperation to solve the murders and avoid further ones.
Church groups and civic groups have been organizing programs on safety measures for children. Their message: Know where your child is at all times; instruct him or her never to ride with anyone -- stranger or not -- without parental permission; know your child's friends and how to reach them in an emergency.
White business leaders, among others, have contributed to a reward fund that now totals about $150,000. Thousands of residents, including many whites, have joined in the several organized searches for clues and the remains of victims.
"A lot of good is coming out of this," says Chi Chi Mcgraw, a black businessman helping the bereaved mothers. "This city is coming together."
Almost all of the children came from low-income families in various parts of the city, usually from homes with no fathers. The children range in age from 7 to 15. All but two were boys.
Most of the children were abducted in broad daylight.
Theirs was a world, says Mary Sanford, a black public housing tenant leader here, where children are often left on their own; a world where three-year-olds stand on chairs to stir up food for themselves; a world where they know hunger in spite of food stamps.

Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, speaking on "This Week," called moderator Candy Crowley's handling of one of the most heated moments of the second presidential debate "clumsy," saying the CNN anchor helped Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney by putting the spotlight on the Benghazi attack.
"Candy Crowley … is an old friend of mine. I used to work at CNN. But I actually think she helped Gov. Romney," Van Susteren said on the "This Week" roundtable. "The most important issue for Gov. Romney's campaign is to put the spotlight on Libya and how the president's administration has been very clumsy, at best – not giving us the information, meaning the American people, what happened."
"So what happened is because Candy Crowley was clumsy in how she handled it – the entire discussion, and even right now, is about Libya, where we probably would have reserved it for the debate tomorrow night," Van Susteren added, referring to Monday night's final debate on foreign policy. "But Candy, in an unusual, bizarre way, put the total spotlight – it's all the media talked about."
In last week's presidential debate, Gov. Romney challenged President Obama on when he first said that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was a terrorist act, with Romney saying, "I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."
President Obama responded, "Get the transcript," prompting Crowley to interject "It – he did in fact, sir… he did call it an act of terror… It did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out."
While President Obama did say in a Rose Garden press conference the day after the Benghazi attack that "no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation," the Obama administration has been criticized for continuing to say in the weeks after the attack that it was spontaneously spurred by a protest against an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.
While Van Susteren argued on this morning's roundtable that the heated exchange on Benghazi at last week's debate helped Gov. Romney, ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said it was Romney's "worst moment of the debate," while praising Crowley for fact-checking the candidates.
"I think that Benghazi discussion, and Libya discussion, was the President's best moment of that debate, and I think Mitt Romney's worst moment in that debate," Dowd said on "This Week." "What Candy Crowley did, I actually thought was laudable, because what happens in this whole thing is the truth becomes a casualty, and nobody's supposed to say what actually happened. We're just supposed to make accusations back and forth to each other, and nobody's supposed to correct and say, 'By the way, that's not true.'"
"Mitt Romney does not want to be talking about Libya. Mitt Romney wants to be talking about the economy," Dowd added. "And if you take a look at all the polls on Libya and foreign policy, and going into this debate, the president has an advantage on that. A bigger advantage than now on the economy."

Attention to 'least of these'
More than the other Democratic candidates for president, Obama has made faith a centerpiece of his campaign.
He has warned the left against ceding the mantle of religion to the evangelical right. He speaks of the church as an abiding force in American public life, from the Boston Tea Party through the abolitionist and civil rights movements. He suffuses his speeches with biblical allusions – "I am my brother's keeper" is a favorite phrase. And he has cast his generation of black leaders as modern-day Joshuas, after Moses' successor, who led the Israelites to the Promised Land.
Many of Obama's political views are "an outgrowth of his reading of some of the seminal parts of the Bible about doing unto the 'least of these' just as we would have done unto Christ," says Joshua DuBois, the campaign's director of religious affairs, paraphrasing verses in the book of Matthew. "He takes very seriously the numerous passages in the Bible that talk not only about poverty, but of people of faith taking God's words and extending them beyond the four walls of the church."
But as Obama promotes faith as a means of uniting a diverse America around a shared set of values, he has at times found himself in a political minefield. To the left are liberals uneasy with religious intrusions into politics; to the right, conservatives who have questioned his Christianity and denounced his ties to Wright's Afrocentric church.
Secular childhood
Obama's childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia was a swirl of faiths and cultures. His father, a black Kenyan economist, was raised Muslim but was an atheist by the time Obama was born. His mother, a white Kansan, had Baptist and Methodist roots but viewed organized religion with a gimlet eye, wary of how often it cloaked intolerance.
"Jesus, she felt, was a wonderful example," Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, recalled in a phone interview. "But she felt that a lot of Christians behaved in un-Christian ways."

Moelis's Pridham scores Sydney Swans chairmanship
PUBLISHED: 19 Jun 2013 13:34:00 | UPDATED: 21 Jun 2013 00:45:18PUBLISHED: 19 Jun 2013 PRINT EDITION: 20 Jun 2013Andrew Pridham will replace outgoing Swans chairman Richard Colless after the club's annual general meeting in February next year. Photo: Peter Braig
John Kehoe
The new chairman of the Sydney Swans, investment banker Andrew Pridham, says it will be "evolution, not revolution" when he takes over at the successful AFL club.
Mr Pridham, the chief executive of the Australian arm of Moelis & Company, will replace Richard Colless after the club's annual general meeting in February, the club said on Wednesday.
The Swans have enjoyed remarkable success over the past decade, missing only one finals series and winning two premierships in 2005 and 2012.
"To borrow the phrase we used in 2005, it's evolution, not revolution," Mr Pridham told The Australian Financial Review. "The place is in good shape and it will be building on what's there, and keeping honest to the culture that has built up."
"As a board we just won't accept second best. Everything we do needs to be the best," Mr Pridham said.
"We make sure we've got good people and only tolerate good behaviour."
Business experience crucial
Well-known in business circles, Mr Pridham, 46, has worked in investment banking for over 20 years, including at JPMorgan and UBS. He has served on the Swans board for the past 12 years.
Mr Pridham was selected to lead the Swans board, which includes former chief executive of property group Mirvac Greg Paramor, former Australian Securities and Investments Commission deputy chair Lynn Ralph and Kreab Gavin Anderson managing partner Brian Tyson. Board member and 2005 premiership hero Jason Ball works for Macquarie Group.
Mr Colless, the Swans chairman for 21 years, was chairman of ING Management from 2004 until 2010.
Mr Pridham said business experience was crucial to running the club, and it was important to have a blend of experience including football experts like coach John Longmire and chief executive Andrew Ireland.
"It's not like running a business. It is different.
"Richard used to always say the P&L is wins and losses, and balance sheet are the players and people at the club."
Mr Colless has at times been a controversial figure, not scared of publicly taking on some of the game's heavyweights including Collingwood's celebrity president, Eddie McGuire.
Mr Pridham, originally from South Australia, indicated he would take a more low-key approach. "It doesn't need me to be too high-profile. That's not really my style," he said.
Mr Pridham said it was an exciting but daunting task to be taking over from Mr Colless, who led the club away from a number of on and off field problems to its successful position today.
"It's a hard act to follow," he said.
Mr Colless said: "I'm sure the handover will occur as smoothly as the Paul Roos-John Longmire transition did."
High-profile corporate transactions
Mr Pridham and New-York headquartered Moelis & Co have been involved in several high-profile Australian corporate transactions in recent years, including advising hedge funds Oaktree and Apollo Management on the restructure of Nine Entertainment Co, the demerger of the Woolworths shopping centre portfolio and SABMiller's $US13.1 billion acquisition of Foster's Group in 2011.
Mr Pridham has been a long-term adviser to several large property companies, including Westfield and Centro Properties Group, before it ran into refinancing problems during the global financial crisis. Moelis advised Centro on its restructuring.
Mr Colless said he was delighted that the two most senior positions on the board are to be filled by sitting board members.
"Having said that, it is important that our supporters and stakeholders fully understand that there is no complacency within the board and the club as a whole.
"We remain totally committed to continual improvement in all facets of our activities. To do otherwise is a guarantee for mediocrity," Mr Colless said.
Mr Colless announced in May that he would not seek re-election beyond his current term. Andrew McMaster will continue as deputy chairman of the club.

So I have plenty of blues and yellows so I am looking at green and whites now. I saw Vulcan and Night Before Christmas at the local garden center on Hwy 76 today. Any thoughts on them? Be honest, please. I want to know if they are worth it. I am expecting Cherry Berry any day now, too. |

I don't have Vulcan either, but NBC was a good grower for me. I lost it a few years ago to voles. |
Vulcan was new last year, so no comment yet. NBC grows like a weed... |
- Posted by MadPlanter1 5 Nebraska (My Page) on Mon, May 5, 14 at 9:03
I have both, and both are good growers. NBC gets a lot of sun and has gotten bigger than the registered size description in five or six years. Vulcan is in more shade and not growing as fast - but it's still better than a lot of my hostas. I live in Nebraska, not sure how they'd do in the South. Cherry Berry, on the other hand, has been a lemon. After five years it has two puny eyes and just barely hangs on. |
I have ever lost only three hostas..........Vulcan, Cherry Berry, and Fire and Ice. I haven't replaced any of them. I have two Night Before Christmas, both quite happy. Jan |
My NBC does quite well although it does tend to tear easier than most from falling tree seeds and debris. Also a little more slug damage than others. |

Thanks everyone! I went back but I decided against both... All the plants looked stressed and not great. Plus, the roots were growing about a foot out of the nursery pot, I kid you not. So they needed to be sold and planted a long time ago. Thinking maybe they are some she hasn't sold in the last year or two? Anyway, she got some Orange Marmalade's in, 3 or them, and they were stunning! I got the best looking one. It has a stunning sport, as well. I will post pics later. But, I figure, it will do well if I get it planted early this time, last year, I got it very late in the season if you recall, that could be why it didn't make it? I figure, Albomarginata, Minuteman, and Medio Variegata are good for the green and white's for now. |
Just in case your change your mind, here's my Vulcan, years 1 through 3. This one is growing in the sun for me. I love Orange Marmalade, but have lost two of them, both grown in pots, I think with the Moisture Control Soil. I should have left the first one in the ground. Gesila |

Gesila, that last picture of Vulcan is gorgeous. Love those tri-colored leaves. |

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner hopes to today send draft legislation of a bill to Capitol Hill that will give him more power to take over large financial institutions in serious trouble. The government currently has this authority with banks, but not with other financial institutions such as bank and thrift holding companies, or with holding companies that control insurance companies, futures commission merchants, and broker-dealers.
The draft legislation will — likely later today — be sent to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., chair of the Senate Banking Committee and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
As written, the bill would give the Treasury Department what's called "resolution authority," granting the U.S. government the authority to put a big financial company into receivership or conservatorship. With that authority, the government can either reorganize or shut down the company — renegotiating or reneging on contracts (such as retention bonuses for AIG executives), transferring the company's assets and liabilities, and dealing with any derivatives portfolio.
One possible sticking point: President Obama and Secretary Geithner are seeking sole authority be given to the executive branch to put these companies into conservatorship or receivership. The legislation as written would give the decision making power to the Treasury Secretary and the chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), though the decision would be "informed" by the advice of the chair of the Federal Reserve Board and any other relevant regulatory agency.
"Why do you think the public should sign on for another new, sweeping authority for the government to take over companies?" asked the Associated Press's Jennifer Loven last night at President Obama's second presidential press conference.
"It'S precisely because of the lack of this authority that the AIG situation has gotten worse," President Obama said. "Understand that AIG is not a bank, it's an insurance company. If it were a bank and it had effectively collapsed, then the FDIC could step in, as it does with a whole host of banks, as it did with IndyMac, and in a structured way, renegotiate contracts, get rid of bad assets, strengthen capital requirements, resell it on the private marketplace."
Noting that the government currently doesn't "have that same capacity with an institution like AIG," the president asserted that's "part of the reason why it has proved so problematic."
Mr. Obama said that when Americans ask questions about the handling of the AIG issue — "if we're putting all this money in there, and if it's such a big systemic risk to allow AIG to liquidate, why is it that we can't restructure some of these contracts?" he characterized. "Why can't we do some of the things that need to be done in a more orderly way?" — they need to know that in his view the answer is "because we have not obtained this authority."
Loven followed up: "Why should the public trust the government to handle that authority well?"
"If you look at how the FDIC has handled a situation like IndyBank (sic), for example, it actually does these kinds of resolutions effectively when it's got the tools to do it," President Obama said. "We don't have the tools right now."
The Treasury Department says that as of right now when a massive non-bank financial company is in crisis, there are only two options: to file for bankruptcy (as happened, to ill effect, with Lehman Brothers), or to secure capital from other companies or from the taxpayer (as happened, to ill effect, with AIG.)
"Had the government possessed the authorities contained in the proposed legislation, it could have resolved AIG in an orderly manner that shared losses among equity and debt holders in a way that maintained confidence in the institution's ability to fulfill its obligations to insurance policyholders and other systemically important customers," the Treasury Department said in a press release today.

More Dead In Everest Avalanche
Friday, April 18, 2014
(Kathmandu) -- At least a dozen Sherpa guides are dead after an avalanche swept down a slope on Mount Everest. A Tourism Ministry official says three mountaineering guides were also hurt today and up to five people are missing. It's the first major avalanche of the climbing season and the deadliest in eight years. The rush of snow hit the most popular route to Mount Everest's peak. Hundreds of foreign and Nepali climbers are preparing to scale the mountain in May when the spring climbing season starts.

MIL issue/Help (Part II)
I want to thank all of you for your responses and guidance. Unfortunately, it didn't go well. For me, anyway. Right now I'm an emotional mess and haven't had a clear thought since yesterday.
I had told my husband I didn't want to go but he insisted as it would be too hard for him to explain why I wasn't there. Why did I care? He said he would lie that I was sick or something and that upset me too. I caved in and said I would go so he wouldn't have to lie and then hated myself for caving. He is very close to his mother and will never, ever, never defend me to her or his brother. Never. I know this as fact now. Painfully. I said I would go but was going to spend Saturday with my SIL (my best friend) and he could spend the day with his mom. I was not going to while he ran off with his brothers. We went out shopping all day and I had a great day. Lots of fun. I didn't get back until 10 p.m. I walked in and she refused to look at me. I could tell she was angry but didn't know why exactly. I had told my DH that I would be gone till late. Go to bed. I'm thinking this is okay. I only have to make it through to Sunday morning when we leave. Yea! About 7 a.m. I hear him get up and go downstairs and then I hear her Loudly saying how I'm "rude" and she hopes he would never treat my mother with such disrespect. I'm thinking oh oh. But I have my practiced speech in my head. Not to get mad, but just say that I think it's time that she butt out of my marriage. I can't hear what they are saying but she's doing most of the talking and it's clear she's angry. He comes up and hang dogging, says, "Can you talk to her?" I lost my mind at that point. 25 years of marriage is shooting down the tube. I feel lost and hurt and sick to my stomach. Clearly, he said nothing and is leaving it to me to slay the dragon. I can't even describe the pain I'm feeling. I was like a possessed idiot. I got up, was all over the room, angry, sick and saying, "Sure, I'll go down there. I'll just wave my magic wand and fix it all! No problem!!" I went down. I tried to collect myself. She was sitting there, arms crossed waiting for me. I said, "I've been married to him for 5 years, it's time for you to get over it and move on. He's not abused, he's not mistreated. He gets whatever he wants at my expense." She starts yelling about how rude I was to go shopping all day when she had a family celebration planned. How was I to know she had a plan??? No one told me!! I said I had told DH I was going to be gone until late!! I look at him. Nothing. I realize I'm totally alone in this and dying. She said, "I was a fool, treated like a fool and it was all for REVENGE!" What???? It was then I realized she was nuts. Revenge??? I just went shopping with my SIL and he knew it! I said, "It wasn't revenge, it was self preservation!!" It went worse from there. She wanted examples of how she had ever treated me badly. I gave them: yelling at me on the phone when he got a part time job at Pizza Hut to pay off his student loans. How could I make him do that? Couldn't I live within my means?? How could I humiliate him so?? (Never mind I had no idea he had gotten the job until he got it, I had nothing to do with it). Never happened. "I NEVER DID SUCH A THING!" she yells. How about when my other SIL invited my daughter to girl scout camp and then humiliated her by claiming she had lice! (She did not have lice). Okay, and not once but twice. She invited her down the year after and did the same thing!! Only this time, she had lice so badly, my MIL wanted to burn everything she owned. My DD was very young and traumatized by the whole thing. I never said a word to keep peace. She denied it happened!! Honest to God. It never happened!! I realized she was full blown nuts and there was no point in going on. My husband did manage a "Mom, it happened twice." NO, NO IT DID NOT!! I would NEVER! She never did any of it. Never called me a ***** to my daughter, never said anything but good things about me to anyone!! I lost my mind. I just wanted to run away. I tried but my husband herded me back. I mean, I was trying to get away barefooted with snow on the ground. I come back and sit down so defeated I can't even express. I can't fight her anymore. I just apologized for all of it. I didn't do anything and I apologized. I just wanted it to be over. I asked permission to go upstairs to get dressed. Yes, she says all happy I apologized. I go up and freak out. Thinking how do I get home? How does a divorce work? What do I do first. I mean, I was confused!! My husbands chasing after me, "Calm down! What are you so upset about???" REALLY??? I think I'm in a house of horrors. It only got worse. I had to eat breakfast and then ride home in a car with my husband for four hours!! I cried the whole way home. He said nothing. I'm lost, guys. I'm just drowning in lost.

I would tell my DH that I am never stepping foot in her house again!!! AND that you don't plan to be in her company ever, anywhere!!!
Seriously, I'm a firm believer in not feeding into the madness of others. If you really feel the woman is nuts, never engage with her again. Sorry you had a horrible experience. Try and think of it in a positive way.... You are now off the hook. You never have to go there again! You are actually free from the expectation of going now. Your MIL just gave you a free pass!!! If your DH ever asks you to go with him, you mention this day and say 'never again'! Maybe some marriage counseling so you and your DH can work on how his lack of support is very damaging to your marriage. And you could pick up some strategies for dealing with the emotions that you are experiencing because of it.

Your husband needs to tell his mom and brother to stay out of his marriage and to stop interfering with things. Then and only then will things improve, i hope. Counselling would also help.
I think its best if you two just don't see each other. Also, make it clear to them that if they have issues, they should talk to you directly. Not behind your back. Hang in there.

I said it before, and I'll repeat it. NO one is invested in making things better for you, but you. Everyone is in DENIAL but you. I don't know about how you want to proceed with your marriage. That's something you need to think over long and hard. I do know, I would NOT step foot in that woman's house again. I would NOT speak with her on the phone. I would NOT be in her company. That would be a non-negotiable, an "understood", within the marriage if the marriage were to continue. That is just me. Some people are just toxic and it sounds like your MIL is one of them. You can't change her. You can't change the dynamic between your DH and MIL in regards to your treatment IF history is any indicator. BUT you CAN change YOUR circumstances. At some point you have to accept this is your reality. You have to deal with it in a manner that is peaceful and satisfactory to you. You are the only one you can count on to do it. I WOULD have a talk with my DD (how old is she?) about boundaries and what is acceptable and not for herself. SHE needs to know it is fine and GOOD to stand up for yourself. It is NOT acceptable for her grandmother to call her (and you) evil. She should stand up to her and leave if her grandmother continues. Tell your DD she does not have to visit someone that puts her down! Your DD ignoring it will not help her or change a thing. It only continues a very bad, hurtful pattern that began 25 years ago with you. Bottom line: We teach people how to treat us. The things they get away with they continue and multiply. Cut out the avenues for you to be mistreated. Teach your DD it's okay for her to do the same. I hope you find peace soon.
It's a miracle! I stayed awake during the El Rio Del Tiempo ride!

Sorry to read your posts and how hurt and lost you are.
My recommendation to you is to seek some personal counseling. You have too many long term issues that have been festering and you are not able to handle them at them moment. That is how you start standing up for yourself. You go and get yourself help. Then you take baby steps and tackle these issues one by one in a methodical manner. In addition it is critical that you do not "tell" your dh that you are getting counseling UNTIL you are IN counseling. I say this because I can read between the lines in your posts that you are desperate for his attention with this issue and you want feedback from him, which is normal of course. However I don't want you to fall into the trap of self-sabotoge in which you are thinking he needs to go with you or get his permission. Healing yourself starts with taking steps without him. I know that is scary but you can do it. Many hugs. |

First, I offer you this
Next, I offer you this: I cannot possibly know all the history or backstory. I am only going by what you have revealed in these posts. I know that there is no way you can adequately reveal a complete backstory. Nor do I want you to. But from what I glean in reading your posts, I found so many similarities between your MIL and my own mother. I've only recently begun a healing journey for the life I've lived with her. Let me say, I understand your frustration & hurt towards your husband. I am in no way diminishing your pain. It's completely and uniquely yours & only you know where your limits are. However, I also, want to give you this. If you'd like to gain insight into the reasons your husband bows & scrapes to appease his mother, I may be able to give an explanation. Not an excuse. Just a reasoning. If you're like me, understanding the WHY of the situation will help you decide how you'd like to deal with that situation. Here goes: Your descriptions lead me to suspect that your husband is operating under a lifelong role. The role of the child of a narcissistic mother. He probably does not know it. It's insidious. And can wreck marriages. If you would like a perspective on what it's like to grow up in this dynamic, the best resource I have found is at the web site "Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers." In the articles, you will find descriptions of the kind of dynamic your husband very well may have grown up in & is still enmeshed in. Based on just anecdotal evidence you've provided I believe, that like me, he may have been cast as a scapegoat by an engulfing Narcissistic Mother. And his brother sounds like he was cast as the Golden Child. Please take the time to read through the descriptions under "Characteristics of a Narcissistic Mother." You may very well get chills. While these articles directly address daughters, sons are also victims of this type of mother. And this can lead to challenges in all areas of his life. Especially marriage. Again, this is only an alternate viewpoint from someone who has some insight into this dynamic. Both for myself, and for my husband. We both grew up with this type of dysfunction. While mine was much more severe, my husband still has challenges he faces from a lifetime of indoctrination. If the information brings you a bit of peace, I will be very glad. If it does not, I will still be glad you took the time to read it as it seems as if this woman has heaped years of abuse on you all and getting a glimpse into the workings of that type of personality disorder can be freeing in the extreme. I will close with this. Hug your daughter. Hug yourself. Give yourself some time to come down from the emotional roller coaster you've been on. And whatever decision you make, try to make it after the worst of the emotional turmoil has settled. Situations like these are never easy & I am truly sorry you are where you are. But know that there are people out here that truly wish you the best. Good luck, OP. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

Sounds like you have kept things bottled up for so long. Its good you finally got to release it all. DO NOT go back, she is toxic and you do not have to subject yourself to her. Your husband has probably always given into her so he doesn't have to put up with her insanity. I hate when people lie about what they have done in the past, they try to make you think you are crazy and it didn't happen that way.
Please stay away from her, work on your marriage....25 years is a long time and if she is your only problem, then you guys can work it out. My ex MIL was the same way (Ex turned out to be a cheating jerk though) Take a hot bubble bath, get a glass of wine and relax. New year......turn over a new leaf. Don't let others dictate your happiness. Happy New Year sweetie.

Scooby, I just read Characteristics of a Narcissistic Mother, this sounds just like my ex MIL, her oldest son was the golden child and my ex was the scapegoat. I always said he is the way he is because of her. Unfortunately, he is my DD's father, and he and my DD have had problems off and on. Right now the two of them aren't really speaking (since June) I see some of these behaviors in my DD sometimes, I hope since she has been around me more, that she won't act this way to her own children one day.
Now that I think back, my Ex MIL's mother was the same way to her. I haven't been around any of them in 16 years. You would think they would want to make things better. You wonder why they can't change and be kind.

mamajo, I'm very sorry that you had a rough weekend. You are the only one who can change your situation. Your husband will let you drown. Check out your bank balances, transfer the money into an account that you open for yourself and get the heck out of there. I usually would not advocate leaving but geez, you have to come a crossroad. Either you stay, be miserable, suck it up and don't complain or you decide to get out and try to have a happy life. Your husband will not change. Your in laws will not change.
OR, you can go to therapy and see if that helps you to cope. Do not expect your husband to accompany you. Ask though and if he does, yay. I am speaking from experience on the leaving part. In my case, I decided that when I got to be an elderly lady looking back on my life, I did not want to see misery. It was rough, I was basically a single mother living on very little money but it was worth it because I regained my self esteem and a couple of years later, I met my wonderful husband. |

OP: I so agree with Scooby9932's post. My mom has NPD narcissist personality disorder. And it wreaked growing up around that nuttiness. Not everyone can break free. It I'd easier for him to go along and enable or so he thinks then to not put up with it. Also you yo work have to work on how you think in regards to sacrificing your self worth and self respect for your husband. I am not saying treat him badly but you need to always respect yourself no matter what

OP - I hope my post didn't come across as trying to discourage or encourage any decisions regarding your relationship with your husband. What you ultimately decide to do is completely up to you and only you truly can make that choice. I only wanted to point out some possible reasons behind his actions to help you better understand what might be driving his actions. Not that you have to excuse them. Again, leaving your marriage is no fly by night endeavor. I know, because I had to do that with my first husband (daughter's father & son of a Narcissist - yeah, I married 2 of them! But at least the 2nd one is uber supportive of me and had reached a place where he doesn't let his parents control his actions.). Whatever you decide to do, I hope it brings you to a better place emotionally, spiritually, and psychically.

I wouldn't make any big decisions for a few days. And I think counseling could be a big help for you. Your MIL is way out of bounds...but so is your husband. If MIL was planning some big family event, it was his job to let you know about it (and how does it not include SIL)? I understand not going back, and would certainly support it, but if that's not possible, it's time for some CLEAR, WRITTEN guidelines for your DH. |

Too often we'll see some quality material go to the landfill because it doesn't fit in with other, nicer structures that are in it's midst, which is exactly what the Third Wave Kiosk in Australia by Tony Hobba Architects hopes to do.
Made from reclaimed steel, the surf shack is a fully functioning hotspot that local surfers can grab a bite or a beverage from after a day in the water. What's more, it features a cafe for grabbing a cup of java and a restroom/change room for surfers to use before leaving the beach.
It's interesting to see structures like this one that make use of old materials, but still manage to look super badass. The Third Wave Kiosk in Australia by Tony Hobba Architects will continue to patina from the sun and salty air, which will make it look like it has one serious sunburn very soon.

NCAA Tournament Contests
by Jack Jones - Google+
The 2014 NCAA Tournament brackets have been released and that means it's time to start scoping out all of the March Madness contests from around the web.

I can't help but notice the WTA's recent marketing schemes. I think it's probably nice to have like a reception with all the players dress up from time to time, at Big Events, I mean Miami and YEC would be enough of those in a year. Now with the new campaign and all, the players have to pose for pictures and sip wine, wearing either local costumes or wearing the dresses, like some happy royal family nobody actually really cares about. I mean, we know they are women, I can tell when they're on court. That's what I like about beachvolley. I don't want to sound harsh or rude, but I think it doesn't help make the sport more competitive. It's more like a beauty peagent tour like this, like the BPA-tour tennis... c'mon Larry! :devil: :) :cool:

Crippling College Debt: How Do You Manage Your Student Loans?
Education is supposed to enrich our lives and make us more worldly and learned. But for many of us, higher ed just brings on thoughts of debilitating debt and crashing credit scores. According to the Project on Student Debt, the average 2009 graduate owes around $24,000 after graduation. But that's nothing compared to the astronomical amount of school debt Kelli Space has.

Cash & Coupling: Divorce In Your Future? Here Are 4 Steps To Take Before You Tie The Knot!
When I think prenup, I think Donald Trump protecting his vast fortune from gold-digging spouses. But this is an outdated point of view. Getting a prenuptial agreement is actually a very savvy move for a pragmatic couple. Prenups are an example of one of the important financial choices women can make from the outset of a marriage to minimize the financial upheaval in the worst-case scenario: divorce. Though few of us see ourselves as future-divorcees, I've come up with a few recommendations for preemptive, defensive financial management, just in case. Divorce still typically incurs much more financial harm to women than men. These four tips offer basic, fundamental financial safeguards that are only logical in an age of high divorce rates.

Cash & Coupling: Advice For When You Or Your S.O. Changes Careers And Takes A Pay Cut
We know you love your man for more than how much he reminds you of Don Draper when he puts on his suit and tie every day, just like we know that you aren't with him for his paycheck. That said, a voluntary career change involving a serious pay cut isn't necessarily easy to cope with. If your significant other has come to you wanting to talk about a career change, hopefully it's something you can believe in, like supporting his lifelong desire to be a teacher, not joining his little brother's garage band. But even if your heart's behind him and your relationship's rock solid, it doesn't mean that your finances will be, too. Cathi Doebler, author of Ditch the Joneses, Discover your Family, offered this advice for deciding whether a major career change is right for your family. Keep reading »

Oil options volatility was little changed as the underlying futures traded in a range of about $3 this week.
Implied volatility for at-the-money options expiring in June, a measure of expected price swings in futures and a gauge of options prices, was 26.98 percent at 2:45 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up from 26.9 percent yesterday. Volatility, which was below 21 percent two weeks ago, rose to 28.17 percent May 8 after prices dropped $9 over five sessions.
"We've found a new intraday range here for now, unless something breaks down further for Europe," said Fred Rigolini, vice president of Paramount Options Inc. in New York. "We need some big news. As long as we stay above $95 and below $100, you're going to see volatility slowly come in if this persists for another week or so.
Crude oil for June delivery fell 95 cents, or 1 percent, to settle at $96.13 a barrel on the Nymex. Futures this week traded between an intraday high of $98.24 and a low of $95.17.
Futures dropped today as China's industrial growth slowed in April and Greece struggled to form a new government, increasing concern it would leave the euro.
The most-active oil options in electronic trading today were June $100 calls, which fell 21 cents to 13 cents a barrel at 2:53 p.m. with 3,346 lots trading. June $90 puts were the second-most active options with 2,875 lots changing hands as they rose 3 cents to 9 cents.
Calls Trading
Calls accounted for 53 percent of electronic trading volume. One contract covers 1,000 barrels of crude.
"There was no real scrambling to buy puts," Rigolini said. "September $75 puts was an active one today and somebody was buying a bunch of June $90 puts."
The exchange distributes real-time data for electronic trading and releases information the next business day on floor trading, where the bulk of options trading occurs.
Bullish bets accounted for 55 percent of the 145,228 trades in the previous session. June $102 calls were the most actively traded, with 7,520 lots changing hands. They fell 4 cents to 11 cents a barrel. The next-most active options, June $95 puts, declined 22 cents to 66 cents on volume of 6,560.
Open interest was highest for December $80 puts with 39,851 contracts. Next were December $70 puts with 36,441 lots and December $150 calls with 36,036.

text: List of the Best Multinational Workplaces Released By Bill Leonard 11/26/2012 Permissions Great Place to Work Institute (GPTW) released its second annual list of the 25 best multinational workplaces on Nov. 14, 2012. SAS Institute, based in Cary, N.C., topped the list at No. 1 and was followed by Google, NetApp, Kimberly Clark, and Microsoft to round out the top five multinational organizations. "The global companies featured on this year's list are committed to creating workplaces that foster trust, pride and camaraderie amongst their employees," Susan Lucas-Conwell, CEO of GPTW stated in a media release. "These companies understand that a workplace centered around a culture of trust-based relationships generates positive business results." GPTW researchers collect and examine survey data from employees and managers from thousands of businesses worldwide to determine which employers qualify as an excellent place to work. According to officials with GPTW, the annual survey is one of the world's largest and most extensive studies of workplace excellence. With the release of the latest multinational list, Great Place to Work celebrates the 20th anniversary of its founding in 1992. Five years after its creation, GPTW Institute launched the first listings of the best places to work and published the rankings in a partnership with Fortune magazine in the United States and Exame in Brazil. Now, GPTW recognizes hundreds of great places to work in more than 45 countries. The GPTW multinational workplace list ranks the top 25 global companies in terms of workplace culture. To qualify for the listing, companies must appear on at least five of GPTW's best places to work lists (of which there are dozens), have 5,500 or more employees, and have at least 40 percent of employees work outside of the organization's home country.

UMass Extension Landscape Message August 23, 2013 "Japanese knotweed is just beginning to flower, or will flower soon, and now is the time to manage this invasive plant. Use a 2% spray solution of glyphosate sprayed to the initiation of spray drip. Do not use herbicide formulations that contain diquat (RewardTM) or tank-mix pelargonic acid (ScytheTM) with the glyphosate. Diquat and pelagonic acid are contact herbicides and have the potential to decrease the efficacy of glyphosate. In areas near water, a formulation of glyphosate that is labeled for theses areas should be used. Non-chemical products containing clove oil, citric acid, acetic acid or orange extract will not effectively control Japanese knotweed." And from the Cape Cod Region report: "Crepe Myrtle, an unusual large shrub/small tree for the Cape, is in full bloom. There are hardy cultivars of this more Southern ornamental that should be planted more often here to provide late summer color." Claire |

I'm working with a project to bring sheep back to Franklin Park in Boston to eat the knotweed. I hate knotweed. |
Daria1961: I hope it works in Franklin Park. Is there a historical precedent? Did sheep used to graze there? Sheep and goats are wonderful herbicides (although it's sometimes hard to get them to stop after they've eaten the bad stuff). Claire |
I saw a bunch of crape myrtles for sale at Home Depot in Framingham (or is that Natick?) yesterday. Are they hardy this far north? Or just on the cape/south coast? |

The cast of Ugly Betty celebrated tonight's return with the first of four new episodes (ABC, 8 p.m. ET) and their early season 4 pickup with a panel discussion at New York City's Paley Center for Media Wednesday night. EW's own Jessica Shaw moderated the chat, which featured guests Vanessa Williams, Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato, Becki Newton, Tony Plana, and executive producer Silvio Horta among others. Here's what we learned during the panel, followed by what I uncovered before it, speaking to members of the cast in the lobby (i.e. Vanessa Williams is counting the days until the return of RuPaul's Drag Race.)
• Horta said Season 4 will feature the removal of Betty's braces (!), the long-awaited musical episode (!!), and Justin starting at a performing arts high school (!!!).
• Upcoming guest stars in season 3's final four episodes include Rachel Dratch (playing twins), Billie Jean King (with whom Wilhelmina plays tennis), Antonio Sabato Jr. (playing himself in a "hot fantasy sequence"), Tommy Hilfiger, and, of course, as previously reported, Adele. Christopher Gorham will return for one episode as Henry — and he'll have a girlfriend. Christine Baranski will reprise her role as Matt's mother. She and Wilhelmina get drunk and end up singing "The Man That Got Away." (That drew excited gasps from the crowd.) Ralph Macchio returns as Archie and wants to get Hilda involved in his campaign. ("I think she sees herself as sort of the Latina Michelle Obama," Ortiz told me.) Williams' dream guest star would be Bette Midler. Newton's? Paul Reubens.
• Other spoilers: There will be two wedding proposals — but only one wedding (at the planetarium). Baby William will be kidnapped. Amanda isn't worried about her job — but she should be. Wilhelmina and Claire will reignite their feud. Mode will get a new boss…
• Trivia you may have known, but forgotten: Michael Urie (Marc) was only supposed to be a guest star, for one episode. Theoriginal plan was to have Wilhelmina fire a new assistant every week. After trying out a hundred pair of glasses, producers asked the show'scostume designer, Patricia Field, if they could give the pair she waswearing a go — they became Betty's. Production designer Mark Worthington designed Mode's killer lobby based on one line in Horta's pilot script referring to it as "iPod-esque." Some of the death stares Wilhelmina gives are borrowed from Williams' mother. Plana (Ignacio) would love to put out a line of aprons and a cookbook. His title: Ugly Recipes for Beautiful Food. Horta will never put Betty and Daniel together. In his pilot script, he had a moment where they looked at each other in a way that would have left that door open, but the chemistry between the actors made them feel more like family.
After the jump, lobby conversation.

• Williams was flattered to be at the center of EW's Bullseye in a recent issue (for being the saving grace of Hannah Montana The Movie). She has an album coming out this June. She says anyone who's concerned that Willy has gotten soft won't feel that way for long. "Her fire, her fight, it all comes roaring back." Asked for a canceled show that she's mourned, she said David Alan Grier's Chocolate News on Comedy Central. She'd TiVo'd it, and kept waiting for new episodes. She said she's eagerly anticipating the return of RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo. She's obsessed with it.
• Ortiz, meanwhile, is obsessed with Brothers & Sisters. She loves to hate Holly, and is almost at the point where she can't even like Ryan.
• Newton is excited that Betty is back so that her grandmother can resume her Thursday ritual of inviting family members over to watch the episode — then phoning Becki to give a recap of what she did and did not like. Enough people have raved to her about The Wire that she's thinking she really needs to get the DVDs. She's hoping for a beach vacation this summer. She does not have swine flu. (That's actually the first thing she told me.)
• Plana celebrated the show's early pickup by taking his family out to dinner and having "some really expensive wine." He misses Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. His wife just got a job on One Life to Live. All ABC shows… "I'm a loyal guy," he said.

I am a fully qualified Bowen Therapist using the neuro-structural integrated technique and I am also a committee member of the Bowen Therapist Professional Association (BTPA). This gives you the comfort and security of continual professional development and proficiency of my work. I have been lucky enough to find Bowen and start my own exciting adventure as a human and equine Bowen Therapist. It seemed logical to combine my life experience and passions into one and create a career from aspects that I live my life by. My intention is to use this technique as much as possible, on as many people and horses as possible, and to provide a more holistic approach to therapy. To be a source of information on whole health to include nutrition, tissue salts alongside my treatment. This gives me the skills that contribute towards happier, healthier lifestyles. My aim is to spread the word that Bowen Therapy is widely available and a viable and accessible treatment option in many different scenarios.
Bowen allows the body to make the change it needs to make. It means trusting that, with the right kind of stimulation, the body can be prompted to make changes on any level - whether that change is physical, emotional or psychological, in order to bring about positive improvements in health. When we allow the body to make the changes that it needs to make, rather than imposing our own judgment as to what needs to be changed, then we are being truly holistic.

Lowest Recommended Age: | Middle School |
MPAA Rating: | Rated PG for thematic material involving slavery, and some mild language. |
Profanity: | Brief strong language, ugly racial epithets |
Nudity/Sex: | Reference to rape |
Alcohol/Drugs: | Drinking |
Violence/Scariness: | Tense emotional scenes, severe symptoms of illness, description of torture and abuse, sad deaths |
Diversity Issues: | A theme of the movie |
Movie Release Date: | 2007 |
DVD Release Date: | 2007 |
Parents should know that this film includes frank descriptions of some of the most profound atrocities of the slave trade, including torture and rape. The painful symptoms of Wilberforce's long-term illness are also included. The movie's portrayal of extraordinary leadership, courage, and persistance is in the context of positions taken by other characters that by today's standards are obviously inhumane and racist.
Families who see this film should talk about why Wilberforce was among the first to see that slavery must be abolished. What was different about the situation in Britain that permitted this to be accomplished years before slavery was abolished in America, and without a war? How are the arguments and tactics adopted by the opposition similar to those used in other great debates, from civil rights to women's suffrage?
Families who appreciate this movie will want to learn more about William Wilberforce and William Pitt, the youngest prime minister in British history. Families will also appreciate Amistad and the groundbreaking television miniseries Roots. The essay "When Mr. Beecher Sold Slaves in Plymouth Pulpit" describes the actions of abolitionist minister Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Uncle Tom's Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe) took the dramatic step of staging a slave auction to demonstrate its barbarity. Families will enjoy Bill Moyers' superb PBS special about the history of the hymn "Amazing Grace."

There was only one rex and that was Rex-22, which specified that a wish for longer arms could not be granted until the lamp had been rubbed. The T-Rex wanted longer arms and could get them. All he had to do was rub the lamp and as soon as he did, he would no longer have short arms and would be able to rub the lamp.

Well, that's it for the year. I've had a couple of hard freezes, and a bit earlier than usual--in past years my Musa basjoo has sometimes looked good right into December, but this year it was knocked down by mid-November. This was the garden in October... And after the freeze... While I dream of next year, at least I have the palms, fatsias, and bamboo to brighten up the garden with a bit of green during the winter! |

Important Information >>
Cramped for space? If so, this new compact scroll saw from General International may be just the answer. The Excalibur EX-16 will easily store on a shelf—it's only 15" wide, 27" deep and 17" high. Full-size Excalibur scroll saws are well-known for their excellent performance; the new EX-16 meets the same standards.
Like its larger cousins, the EX-16's head tilts, not the table. That's a real advantage. Your workpiece stays level, giving you better control for intricate cuts. The EX-16 also utilizes a parallel-link arm to minimize vibration. The larger Excaliburs have the same type of arm.
This saw has a 16" throat capacity and a maximum cutting depth of 2". Its table is 12" wide by 18-1/2" deep. The blade tilts up to 45° in either direction. The motor has a variable speed control, going from 400 to 1400 strokes per minute.
Blade changes are toolless, and speed and tension controls are conveniently located. An onboard dust blower keeps the blade clean and the work surface clear of dust, so you see precisely where you're cutting.
General International, general.ca, 888-949-1161, 16" Scroll Saw, Model EX-16, $575.
