I love this product!! I've tried a couple other spot treatments by clean and clear but haven't had as much success with them. I bought the product for $8.00CDN. Quite pricey for a tiny bottle.. however a little goes a long way. I've been using it for the last 5 nights and I've seen drastic improvement. Pimples that used to stay on my face for weeks disappear within 3 days. They dry up and seem to flake off and leave no mark. Even pimples that I've popped become tiny little dots that do not leave nasty scars. I would not suggest wearing it in public as it leaves a white mark where you left it. It doesn't sting or smell at all.
Best spot treatment that I've ever used.! :)
highly recommend
I've been struggling with acne since i was a teenagers and i've tried numerous on the spot treatment and this is by far the best one.......!!! you can use this every night and will not drastically dried up your skin the next morning that u r unable to cover it..........The o.5% salicylic acid is also much more gentle that the usual 2% that often irritate my sensitive skin more and therefore more breakouts............it's able to dry up any white heads in one night and bigger pimples will matured much faster.........another good thing about this is that it doesn't burn when you put it on and it smells really good ....highly recommend!!

I really love this product. I have had acne problems for as long as can remember, and while I have found a number of cleansers, masks and such to help control my acne overall, I could never find a really good spot treatment. I LOVE this one!
I'm sure to some people it good be drying, but my skin is so oily it really does't affect it at all. I automatically see pimples reduced after this product has been on my time for as little as a half hour. I don't even have to use it on pimples that are already popped! The product does look very small, but I promise it lasts a really long time!
The only downside to this product would be that it dries white, so you can't really go anywhere when it's on. I'm not sure if you're supposed to do this or not, but I always put it on before I go to sleep and then wash what remains in the morning off with a warm washcloth.
This is definitely the best treatment I've used to target pimples so far. I really see and feel a change after I use it.

I am in my mid 40's and peri-menopause is wreaking havoc on my complexion. Felt silly buying what looks like a teenager's acne cream but what the heck, I am desperate. So I've been applying this pretty much all over my face, on active breakouts and whopper zits, acne-prone areas, and old acne marks. (I am super pale and spots take forever to fade on my skin) Basically I put a thin layer all over my face at night. From the first time I woke up after using this, I was astonished. All my acne was calmed, from active blemishes to old marks....all faded. Big pimples, deflated and healing! Another odd effect I noticed: my skin was completely mattified, smooth, and brightened as if I'd used a Vitamin C cream or Arbutin mask. WOW! Normally I wake up to an oil slick, partly because I apply creams at night, partly because I am oily again, with teenage skin at midlife. This keeps me so matte and smooth I am wearing it on my T-zone all day long, finally keeping the middle of my face matte and feeling clean. I am going to buy several tubes of this in case they d/c it like several of my other beloved skincare products. I have used Salicylic Acid treatments many times over the years, not sure what is different about this one. I have also used/am using Retin A and other retinoid forms, vitamin C creams and serums, hyaluronic acid serums, benzoyl peroxide, whitening kojic and arbutin...I try everything. I assume my skin is fairly strong and resistant as I am never irritated. Hope this continues working, off to get more!

It's rare for me, but when a giant shows up and I pop it I do reach for this. This product does what it claims, my zit becomes smaller and less red overnight. I love that in a product, but it leaves a scar! I know popping a pimple leaves a scar, but this leaves a bigger scar than it should be and it's really dark!
When I removed the paste in the morning, the skin on the pimple was peeling off. Either it will peel off a thin layer or it will peel of a large layer and then I will bleed. Either way, it leaves a scar.
I would only use this product in an emergency, like a special event the night day, I will just cover up the scar with foundation. But I will avoid completely, I don't need anymore acne scars.

Sadly, this did absolutely nothing for my popped pimples and if you check out Paula B's review for it - you'll see that it actually irritates the skin :(
I wanted it to work as I loved the fact that it dried over the skin and stayed put - so I didn't have to see or touch the popped pimple. (out of sight, out of mind).
As far as clearing pimples and reducing the red marks left behind - my favorite product for this at the moment is Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renewer.

I just woke up from my first night with this. I am a chronic picker and when I saw good reviews for this yesterday I had to go get some. It definitely helped a lot with redness and swelling, I have high hopes for what it will do in the next few days. Salicylic acid is the only otc acne medication I wasn't using, and I think it might be the key to clear skin, finally.

I used this for the first time last night. This is pretty highly rated here on MUA, so I saw the last one at Target for 6.79, and thought, what do I have to lose? It comes in a metallic blue squeeze tube with a clear round screw on cap. General information is written on the front, and some more indepth info is on the back (ingrediants, info on company). This product comes out blue and dries white, which I think is a pretty neat idea. If you apply it too thick, it will 'cake up', so I only apply a very, very thin layer on any blemishes. This is called popped pimple relief, but I use it on blemishes I haven't popped because I really try not to pop my blemishes...we all know how bad that is. Anyway, last night I spread on a thin layer and went to bed. I woke up around six, but the appointment I had got cancled, so I was about to go back to bed when I felt a big, under the skin blemish coming on. I iced the area for a minute or so, then applied a thin layer of this. When I woke up around ten, the blemish was almost completely gone. On my other blemishes, the reduction was not as significant, but it definitely helped more than persagel 10, which I think may be too harsh for my skin. Bottom line: I really like it now, but that's after one use. I'm thinking I'll use it for a few more weeks and update with my thoughts then.
UPDATE 1/7/13: Been using it nightly, noticed that it definitely cakes up after applying too much. I find that it works best with a very thin layer. I likes that it helps my blemishes, but will try persagel10 and this on different blemishes that pop up around the same time and see which one helps more. I feel like this REALLY drys my skin out, but when I go to put on makeup it doesn't look cakey or flakey. I'm still liking this. I'll update again soon.
UPDATE 1/16/13: Why?! This has been breaking me out, I swear! I wanted to love it so much, but persagel 10, which I thought was irratating, is so much more gentle than this. The reason why I don't like this is because I feel like it traps the blemish under the surface so that while it goes away at first, it keeps popping back up. Ugh. And I did end up testing persael 10 vs this, and this cleared it up in two day, but then popped back up, while persagel 10 also pretty much cleared it up in two days. I wanted to love this SO badly, but I cannot...drat. I'll be sticking with persael 10 for now.
Technically, I have nothing bad to say about this product. It didn't blow me away in terms of IMMEDIATE results (you know...sometimes you kid yourself into thinking you will put something on your face and it will be gone in five minutes) but it certainly did not make my skin or acne any worse. I like that it doesn't sting or irritate your face, that it stays put (you can sleep with it on) and it does decrease the size of pimples. If I feel a lump on my face that I know is going to form into a zit, I put this on right away and it generally decreases the swelling. Like I said, it doesn't make it worse so really you have nothing to loose. It has a consistency similar to toothpaste and smells nice.
I am a visual person so if a zit is out of sight (i.e. when I put this on) it is out of mind and I don't pick at it. Oh one last thing, this is only suitable to be worn around the house or to bed because it leaves giant white splotches. Make sure you don't forget to wash it all off in the morning or you might find yourself in some awkward situations.

How to increase your profit? 0 comments
What are we doing in the stock market? The answer sounds pretty simple: all we want to increase ours capital, i.e. we want to have a profit. Always… It's easy to say, but it's harder to do. Really it's harder to do? Do you think so?
I consider you know it isn't a truth. Everybody of us knows an idiom "The trend is my friend." Aren't you? Follow the trend and you'll be fine. Don't you believe?
Let's see examples:The trend begins when price (NASDAQ:VIP) is above SMA (f.e. 5, 15, 20) point #1. Trend ends at point #2 when price breaks SMA. The trend begins again at point #3 and ends at #4:
1-2 change - ~12.76% plus 3-4 change - ~28.45%. Not bad…
LIZ chart shows us that trend begins at point #1 and ends only at point #4. A change is almost 76.75%. Excellent! :
It is impossible? No, simply follow the trend!
Read in next post how to find a beginning of a trend.Here are todays Investing Ideas
Disclosure: No VIP, no LIZ at my portfolio.

Back where I belong - pre trip report *UPDATED - finally home!*
Ive been reading a few of the trip reports, and pre-trip reports, and have been inspired to
put pen to paper so to speak. Fingers to keyboard I guess would be the correct term.
As Im reading other reports and looking at the photos, I keep thinking oh Id forgotten about that bit! and getting more excited about going back! (Listening to DIS radio at the moment, how sad am I!) A bit of history Ive been lucky enough to have been 3 times before with DH, 2001, 2003, 2005. The pattern was interrupted rudely by a divorce, but hey, these things happen. Life has moved on and improved, and finances are finally getting back on track. Now living with DBF, and his two DSs stay with us every weekend. None of them have been to anything Disney before, never mind WDW, and Im trying to pass on my excitement! I just KNOW they are all going to love it. The cast: Me: 38 year old WDW fan. Trying not to mention the trip too much and be completely unbearable to the rest of the family. Will be 39 by the time we go. DBF: 41 year old, not a fan yet, but really likes the look of the water parks and some of the rides! Has wanted to visit since being a kid. Will be 42 when we go. DS1: 11 year old, excited but playing it cool. Will be 12 when we go. DS2: 7 year old, really doesnt comprehend it all, just delighted that the hotel will have a pool. Will be 8 when we go. We popped into our local Disney store last weekend, and I saw all 3 of them light up and go oh LOOK! at something, so that seems promising! Our plans so far Weve booked with VH (yes, I know, I know but it just seemed less hassle this time ). 2 weeks in April 2010, at the school holidays. Flying direct from Glasgow to Orlando return, and staying at Pop Century. I flew with Virgin the 1st time, and had no complaints, and since Im going with 3 newbies, 2 of them rather young and who havent flown further than the middle of England, it just seemed much less hassle to fly direct, and with an airline which apparently has plenty of entertainment Ive not stayed at POP before, but have stayed at other value hotels, so have no worries about this, I think it will be fine. Not sure how well all cope with being in the one room, I guess that will just mean early nights and early mornings! But then thats good for getting round the parks before they get busy, and we can have a siesta or pool time in the afternoons. We have included the hire car in the package, even though well use the Disney buses or Monorail most of the time, its nice to know its there for whenever we want it. I love the Disney transport, all feels like part of the fun to me. Have paid half of what we owe to VH, the other half should be saved up by October. Nothing else bought or booked yet, but planning on getting 14 day tickets for us all, and at the moment the Disney site itself looks to be the cheapest! Wont have the ticket and excursion money saved until January, so just keeping an eye on prices in the mean time. I think the only other park we plan to do is Sea World (apart from the whole Disney shebang, including the 4 parks, 2 water parks, DTD, Disney Quest and the mini golf!!). I think the boys will like it at Sea World, they love animals. Also planning to take them to Cirque du Soleil, to Boggy Creek Airboats, to the Titanic exhibition (DBF will love that), to a mall or two, and perhaps some things on International Drive can see what we feel like about ID once were there! Hopefully well catch most of the parades and fireworks, they are in my plan, but Ill double check times and dates in January. Fireworks make awesome memories, those will last a lifetime. At the moment, our chosen eateries are: Rainforest Café, Tusker House, House of Blues, Boma, Planet Hollywood, Mama Melroses, T-Rex, Nine Dragons, Hollywood Brown Derby, Tonys Town Square Restaurant, Sci-Fi Dine in OR Rainforest Café again. Plus a few off-the-cuff visits to the likes of the Tangierine Café, the Noodle Station, Sweet Tomatoes, Ghirardellis etc. ADR time will be January, so plenty of time to research and change our basic plan if we need to. The three boys are all carnivores, but Im veggie, which unfortunately limits our choices of restaurants a little. Will get a proper plan from the Disney Gods (Simon and Susan Veness) nearer the time! So, how do you guys think Im doing so far? Think Im doing DBF and the two DSs proud for their first visit? Itll take us years to be able to save up enough to do this again, Im sure!! Im saving as many air miles as I can, so perhaps DBF and myself will be able to squeeze in a cheap(er) trip a year or so after this one (assuming he likes it!). Not sure how it would go down though, if we didnt take the boys, wouldnt want to upset them Just read back through this nowhere near as good as Kevin Stringers trip reports!! They have me howling with laughter. I get really funny looks from my colleagues in an otherwise quiet office. I'll keep you posted on developments, although they'll be sporadic until that magic 90 day window opens up... Have a magical day ya all !! Edit - added a couple of photos from 2005. (I hope... if I've done it right...)

Update 20-08-09
My planning was kind of put to one side for a while (apart from reading the DIS boards every lunchtime at work ), because of summer holidays, and busy busy busy weekends. I don't know where the time goes...
Anyway... Nothing else bought yet, still saving up to pay off the balance to VH. Summer holls and other things this year have been eating into the savings... Now need a concerted effort to get back on track, or some things may need to get dropped from the plan. Sea World and La Nouba are probably the more expensive "extras" that I added to the plan. However, I wasn't planning on buying park tickets until we were in 2010 so I'll just need to see how the savings are doing by then. Good news though, I'll be able to book all my ADR's when the 180 day window opens up again on the 27th of October! That will be us 157 days out, so I should be able to just sit online until they are all done! A little worried that the online system will have a hairy fit because there are bound to be more folks like me, just poised and ready to pounce, but I guess I'll cope with that if it happens. Between now and then, I need to just double check with DBF that he's happy with my restaurant choices, and also project savings to see if we can manage to eat at Disney every day!! Oh well... back to work for now... Gotta do something to pay for my Disney fix!

Update 4-10-09... 180 days out!!
To celebrate it only being 6 months till we go, all 4 of us had a "disney dinner" on Friday! Mickey head shaped pizzas, Mickey head shaped pasta, with extras like tomato & mascarpone sauce, garlic bread, and coke. All 4 of us really enjoyed it!
Below is the current draft of our plans... I'm afraid the finances have taken such a battering this year that a couple of things have had to be dropped. Things we can easily add back in once we're there if we have a bit more disposable income, or feel like putting the credit card into meltdown! Friday - fly out Saturday - collect hire car / explore hotel, pools, monorail / DTD / Rainforest Cafe for dinner Sunday - AK / Tusker house for lunch Monday - Epcot / Kouzzina at the Boardwalk for dinner Tuesday - rest day - water park. Or mini golf, or explore other resorts. DTD and House of Blues for dinner Wednesday - Epcot or MK. Dinner at Boma, AKL Thursday - rest day - air boats, Titanic exhibition. DTD and Earl of Sandwich for dinner Friday - MK. Noodle station for lunch, Sweet Tomatoes for dinner Saturday - HS. Mama Melrose's for dinner, Fantasmic package Sunday 11th - rest day - malls or International drive or explore other resorts. DTD and T-rex for dinner Monday - Epcot in the morning, chill in the pool in the afternoon, then back to Epcot, Nine Dragons for dinner, and Illuminations Tuesday - rest day - water park. Or mini golf, or explore other resorts. DTD and Planet Hollywood for dinner Wednesday - MK in the morning, chill in the pool in the afternoon, then back to MK for Tony's Town Square Restaurant for dinner, and Spectromagic and Wishes Thursday - free day to return to either HS or AK. Sci Fi Dine In for dinner before packing cases in the evening. Friday - check bags in at DTD, then head to MK or Epcot till it's time to head to the airport for our flight home! This is just the basic framework, I've included more of the parades and things in the parks for my own plan, which I didn't feel necessary to include on here. We have plans to head out for a bumper breakfast outside of Disney on some of our rest days too. Don't think our plans will change much, unless I don't get the ADRs I want - I'll find out at the end of this month! Main focus at the moment is just paying for it all... Should be OK according to my latest forecasting! I've started a packing list, so I don't forget too much, and we found a website selling off crocs at a knock-down sale price, so 4 pairs of those have been purchased! DBF, DS1 and DS2 will get theirs as part of their Xmas presents. Still to get another couple of suitcases, but that's for next month. This month I gotta get passports for DBF and me! Then contact the Venesses for our touring plan when I have my ADRs in place. It's all coming together... 26 weeks to go! Tarra for now... VailaTigger x

Thank you! I'm excited about that myself...
I've always started my WDW holidays in the MK, but the busy day guides don't work for this trip unfortunately... We might venture that way on our first Saturday on the monorail, see how busy it really is... DD11 was leaping around the kitchen with joy on Friday evening when he found out there could be Mickey head waffles for breakfast DD7 also keeps telling me he's going to do that "stream thing" with me when we go. He means the lazy river at the water parks, as I've told them I'm not doing the big rides in TL or BB, I'm not a big fan of water. Both boys have said they'd come on the lazy river with me instead. DBF is trying to help with the planning and organising, and is doing fine. Although he did start to read the Brit's guide, but then got overwhelmed! However, he's been dipping in to it, and it was him who wanted to go to some big breakfast places, so that's now on the plan. 179 days to go

Tried to book my ADRs online today, but the online system fell over this morning, and hasn't been back up since... Kept trying all day, and then finally gave in and called... Eventually got through on the phone, after trying for 30 mins to connect. Waited in the system for 25 mins to speak to a CM, and then spoke to a lovely lady. She found my resort reservation, and when we got to the first dining reservation, Disney IT in their wisdom bummed out all the CM's to update something! AARRGGHH! Called back 20 mins later, only 5 mins to get connected, and then a 10 minute wait to speak to a CM. Spoke to a different, but equally lovely lady, and 45 minutes later, I had all the reservations I wanted, for the times I wanted!! Awesome! Rainforest Cafe Tusker House (Nemo priority seating) Kouzzina House of Blues Boma Mama Melroses (Fantasmic package) T-Rex Nine Dragons Planet Hollywood Tony's Town Square Restaurant Sci Fi Dine In Cost me a ruddy fortune on the phone though I also sent off our passport applications on Monday. Now I can get a proper Itinerary from the Venesses Wonder how much it will match mine so far Then next on the list is reorganising the hire car slightly, and calling to book the Magical Express. Stay tuned folks! Vx

Concert tour[edit]
It was this year that Yanni was putting together his first touring band to promote his album Out of Silence, as well as selections from Keys to Imagination. "Although I'd written, as always, with an orchestra in mind, I couldn't afford one, so I reproduced that sound in my studio with my synthesizers. But because I wanted to play everything live onstage, and not against tape, I needed three keyboard players and a drummer on the road", says Yanni. This first live band included: Joyce Imbesi and John Tesh on keyboards, and Charlie Adams on drums.[3]

Tablet Writer on 'Guardian' Podcast
Hoffman discusses Rabbi Leib Tropper
In honor of Valentine's Day, "Sounds Jewish," the Guardian's Semitic-themed podcast, today tackles the Rabbi Leib Tropper scandal. Tropper is the Monsey, New York-based ultra-Orthodox conversion guru disgraced by allegations, in part broken by Tablet Magazine, that he attempted to trade conversion for sex. And the fun part is, podcaster David Solomons invited none other than our very own Allison Hoffman onto the program.
So give it a listen! Allison, Solomons, and Jewish Chronicle editor Miriam Shaviv discuss Tropper from roughly the 1:25 mark to 11:45.
And may your Valentine's Day be less ironically celebrated than by discussing Leib Tropper.

As US and EU slap on more Iran sanctions, Russia is miffed
The US and EU announce Iran sanctions that go beyond those approved by the UN Security Council last week. Moscow decries their 'political disregard for their partnership with Russia.'
Francois Lenoir/Reuters
The European Union followed the United States in approving its own tougher sanctions on Iran Thursday, targeting Iran's oil and gas industry a day after the US Treasury slapped new restrictions on a number of Iranian banks, companies, and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
But the EU and US measures, which go beyond the new sanctions approved by the United Nations Security Council last week, drew a blast of condemnation from Russia, which said the separate measures undermine the major powers' joint effort to influence Tehran over its nuclear program.
In a statement calling the US and EU actions "unacceptable," the Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the US and EU for putting themselves above the Security Council and weakening "the foundations for our dialogue and interaction." Russia joined the US, France, Britain, China, and seven nonpermanent members of the Security Council in voting for a fourth round of sanctions on Iran June 8.

Cybersquatter Anticipates Delta/US Airways Merger
CHARLOTTE, N.C. ( MainStreet) -- In the rush to acquire domain names associated with airline mergers that may or may not take place, someone has taken a flier on a deal between US Airways (LCC) and Delta (DAL - Get Report).
The domain name deltausairways.com was registered in Korea on Feb. 1, apparently by a "cybersquatter" registering trademarked names in anticipation of future profits. Neither airline was involved.
The domain name deltausairways.com was registered in Korea on Feb. 1, apparently by a "cybersquatter" anticipating a merger. |
US Airways has registered about 10 domain names that might come in handy if it decides to seek a merger with bankrupt AMR. The names, usable as either .com, .net or .org sites, including american-usairways.com, americanairlinesusairways.com, usairways-american.com, usandaa.com and a half-dozen similar names.
On Tuesday, Delta President Ed Bastian, speaking at the JPMorgan (JPM) transportation conference, was asked if Delta had registered domain names related to US Airways, since published reports have said Delta is considering merger efforts with both US Airways and American. "Not that I'm aware of," Bastian responded. "But I think it's cute." Cybersquatters "monetize domain names via pay-per-click advertising, affiliate links or some combination of the two," says Te Smith, spokesman for MarkMonitor, a San Francisco-based brand protection company. "It's pretty cheap to register a domain name, throw up a barebones page with links, do a little search engine optimization and draw traffic." "Because the cost of operating the page/site is low, it doesn't take much traffic or many clicks to more than cover the cybersquatter's costs," Smith says. "Many cybersquatters operate hundreds or thousands of these sites, so the revenue adds up." The cost is about $10 to a couple of hundred dollars a year, she says. "Well-known brands are the targets for cybersquatters since well-known brands drive searches and traffic," Smith adds. "If you have a strong brand, there is usually someone out there on the Internet trying to hijack it for their own ends." -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Ted Reed >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/tedreednc. >To submit a news tip, email: email@example.com.

Oh the voices…
God doesn't love you because….
Your sins really aren't forgiven…
God is not pleased with you….
He is disappointed in you…
You can't change…
If God really knew what you are like on the inside…..He wouldn't/couldn't love you.
Oh those voices, they speak lies to me day and night, so much so that I have to go back to God's Word, back to the real Truth, day after day and read for myself what He says about His amazing love for me.
Part of understanding that you are loved is realizing God holds no condemnation for you once you put your faith in Jesus Christ. I know this can be a hard concept to understand; it is for me as well. But let's think of it this way, would you punish your son or daughter again and again for the same sin? Probably not, and neither does God. Jesus once and for all paid the ransom, the penalty, the punishment … for the sins of the world for each of us and because of His amazing, loving sacrifice we can live in the freedom of knowing that God holds no condemnation for us! Isn't that simply amazing?
Condemnation: the action of condemning someone to a punishment; sentencing.
"Because of all that God has done for us in Christ, because of Christ's incarnation, perfect obedience, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension, we who were once under God's sentence of condemnation and death have been completely set free. We have been loved!"- Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Comforts From Romans
Ohh sweet friend, don't let those voices of accusations, disappointments and condemnation keep you from embracing the love God has for you! Walk and live in this truth today:
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
"We cannot be free to love as long as we are dwelling on our self, our own inadequacies, bitterness, lack of forgiveness for ourselves or for others. Jesus desires us to live freely, no condemnation hanging over our heads, so that we become freer to love others well." Sally Clarkson, You Are Loved
My prayer for you today is that you will come to understand that God holds no condemnation for you, the price for your sins has already been paid! Think of it this way, you are siting on death row because of your sins and awaiting the punishment for those sins, when you are suddenly told that someone else has come to take your place! Someone else will take your punishment. Someone else will die for your sins. Your freedom as been purchased by this person's life. How would that amazing experience change your life forever?
This, my dear friends, is what Jesus has done for us. We were all on death row because of the sin in our life, but Jesus has come and paid the price for our sins by dying in our place. The price has been paid once and for all for those who are in Christ Jesus. Let's embrace that truth today and let it change the way we live forever!
Let's Talk:
1. What keeps you from understanding that God no longer condemns you for your sins?
2. What steps can you take today to help you understand this truth?
Love God Greatly!

Dance is one of the many facets of art in which Chitra Visveswaran has soaked herself.
"Gange, Jaya Gange
Bhaghavathy Gange
Divya Tarange,
Patitho Dharini, Punya Tarange..."
Memories of Alfred Lord Tennyson's 'The Brook' came alive even as Chitra Visveswaran spoke animatedly about her productions, her influences, her interests and her philosophy in a freewheeling chat. Chitra spent her growing years in Kolkata, learning dance not merely as a separate field of study in isolation, but as an all inclusive process. She learnt Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Manipuri, Rabindra Nritya, Carnatic Music, Rabindra Sangeeth, Theatre, Aesthetics of Stagecraft, Painting, Literature, Languages, Politics and so on. The legendary Tapas Sen actually 'threw light' on much of her understanding of light designing on stage. If she picked up administrative skills with an eye for perfection from her father, Chitra learnt the art of aesthetics from her mother.
Kolkata provided the right atmosphere for Chitra to imbibe art and literature, which were her subjects at Lady Brabourne College. And so it was that Chitra grew up in a family of liberal-minded and educated members. Her grandfather got his widowed daughter remarried!
The girl imbibed much from the cultural scenario that 'the city of joy' had to offer. Her mother taught her early on that art would become her anchor later on. It was indeed a cruel twist of fate that Chitra had to be the son and the daughter in her parents' lives, for her sibling turned out to be a non-verbal special child.
Small wonder then that Chitra soaked herself in her art. For, it was only on the stage that Chitra could dance in the pure joy of the moment. Her English professor Vishwanathan and her mother drove home one important point to her: "Do not sacrifice the soul at the altar of physicality." Chitra was to remember this at every stage in her dance career, and later in her years of teaching. This aspect was seen as a conspicuous element even in a recent production, 'Anubhooti.' Her students confess that they learn more than what they came looking for - art, music, stage, lighting and textile… they learn life skills.
Marriage of minds
Talking about her late husband Visveswaran she says, theirs was a marriage of two minds, enriching and complementing the other. Visveshwaran, the nephew of the legend GNB, was an accomplished musician and enjoyed in the creative process of her numerous productions, by composing and lending his voice as well. When santoor maestro Pt. Shivkumar Sharma asked him to give up all else to the exclusion of santoor, he said he could give up all else except singing for his wife and composing music for her productions!
Speaking about her productions and choreography, Chitra admits that the success is the result of years of hard work and collecting, assimilating, understanding and analysing information. She explains that she was trained at a time when dancers had to double as students and do their research too. So much so, practice, learning and research were everyday processes.
To Chitra, choreography meant not merely premeditated movement and rhythm to music, but a holistic approach. "Choreography is a painting in motion," says Chitra. Choreography then means thinking about all aspects of the production simultaneously -- from its very inception to music, dance, light and aharya. While Chitra imbibed the various inter connected art forms, she chose dance as the "one." She understood that everything else had to enrich the path that she had chosen.
Her understanding of lighting was so powerful that she used floor lighting for instance, in a production to depict the Kauravas, which she had visualised as a painting by the Old Dutch Masters. The Pandavas were crowned with golden hues from atop bringing forth the imagery of an Impressionist art work! In another production, where she had to show the Ardhanari, Chitra just used the spotlight by making the most perfect moves to show the 'bilateral symmetry' in a perfect divide from head to toe. It was little wonder then that Gautam Bhattacharya, the famed lighting designer, said years ago, "Chitra is one Bharatanatyam dancer who thinks of lighting so aesthetically." It is significant because she used it in the '1970s when others used only bright white lights!'
Singularly important is also Chitra's need to revisit her productions with a critical eye and deep introspection. Her philosophical attitude also stems from the unshakeable faith in the guidance of her spiritual guru, Vittamma, who has diverted much of her energy to the path of seeking spiritual peace.
Much water has flowed. Many bridges have been crossed. Chitra has generously shared much of the wealth she has received. Recipient of several awards including Padma Shri, Nrithya Choodamani, Kalaimamani and Sangeet Natak Akademi.
Chitra is all set to receive yet another award – Natya Kala Acharya, conferred by The Music Academy, Chennai, today.
As Chitra moves on in her life as a dancer, there is a certain calmness in her, like when one moves towards the ocean seeking contentment of a life well lived.

HOLLYWOOD HOOKUP (FOX44) – Trouble for the mother of Miami Heat star, Lebron James. Gloria James was arrested this morning in Miami Beach after allegedly assaulting a valet worker. Cops say James got into a shoving match with a valet at the Fontainebleau Hotel over the wait time to get her car. They say James allegedly smacked the driver in the face. She is facing battery and disorderly conduct charges.
– Closing arguments began in San Francisco today in the perjury trial against former major league baseball player Barry Bonds. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors dropped one of the five charges against baseball's home run king, as his lawyers rested their case without calling any witnesses. Bonds has pleaded not guilty to perjury charges stemming from his testimony to a grand jury in 2003, denying that he had ever knowingly taken performance enhancing drugs. If convicted, Bonds could be sent to prison or confined to his home for several months.
– The trailer for "Hangover 2" got pulled from theaters for a revamp. The original cut was deemed too racy for its PG-13 audience. The re-edited version will run before "Scream 4" next week.

Carolina Bank Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note A – Summary Carolina Bank Holdings, Inc. (the "Holding Company" or the "Company") is a North Carolina corporation organized in 2000. Effective October 31, 2000, pursuant to the plan of share exchange approved by the shareholders of Carolina Bank (the "Bank"), all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank were exchanged for shares of common stock of the Holding Company. The Holding Company presently has no employees. The Bank was incorporated in August 1996, and began banking operations in November 1996. It is engaged in lending and deposit gathering activities in Guilford, Alamance, Randolph and Forsyth Counties, North Carolina and operates under the laws of North Carolina, the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. The Bank has eight full-service banking locations, comprised of four in Greensboro and one in each of Asheboro, Burlington, High Point, and Winston-Salem. A wholesale mortgage division is located at the Greensboro corporate headquarters, and retail mortgage loan production offices are located in Burlington, Hillsborough, and Raleigh. The Raleigh loan production office was opened in March 2012 and is tentatively scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2012. All offices, except the Raleigh and Hillsborough mortgage loan production offices, are in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. The Holding Company files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. Note B – Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Note C – Basis of presentation In management's opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for annual future periods. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed, and other information are contained in the notes to the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. Note D - Use of estimates The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note E - Stock compensation plans The Company's shareholders approved the 2009 Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") in 2009 to replace three expired stock option plans, a nonqualified plan for directors (Director Plan) and two incentive stock option plans for management and employees (Employee Plans). The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, long-term incentive compensation units and stock appreciation rights to employees and directors. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved for issuance under the terms of the Omnibus Plan. There were no stock option grants in 2011 or the first six months of 2012. The fair value of employee plan options granted in December 2007 was $178,000, which is being expensed over a five year vesting period. Total expense related to the 2007 grants was $18,000 in the first six months of 2012 and 2011. At June 30, 2012, there was $18,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of six months. Note F - Earnings per share Earnings per share has been determined on a basic basis and a diluted basis which considers potential stock issuances. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, basic earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding of 3,387,045. The only potential issuances of Company stock are stock options granted to various officers of the Bank and a warrant to purchase common stock executed in conjunction with the issuance of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury in 2009. The following is a summary of the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were stock options and warrants covering 514,256 and 519,102 shares, respectively, that were excluded in computing diluted common shares outstanding given that they were anti-dilutive since the exercise price exceeded the average market price for the period.
Note G – Preferred stock and common stock warrants In December 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. In January 2009, the Company issued 16,000 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury and received $16 million under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. The Company granted a warrant to purchase 357,675 shares of common stock at a price of $6.71 per share to the U.S. Treasury as part of the preferred stock transaction. In accordance with accounting principles, the preferred stock and common stock warrant were valued independently and their relative fair market values were allocated to the $16 million received. Under the relative value method, $14,159,000 was allocated to the preferred stock and $1,841,000 to the common stock warrant. The discount of $1,841,000 on the preferred stock is accreted over five years using the effective yield method, thereby increasing preferred stock dividends. The accretion of the discount for the first six months of 2012 and 2011 was $194,000 and $180,000, respectively. Dividends at 5% per annum are payable quarterly for the first five years; the dividend increases to 9% per annum after the fifth year. Note H – Subordinated debentures In December 2004, the Company issued $10,310,000 of unsecured junior subordinated debentures which accrue and pay interest quarterly at three month LIBOR plus 2% per annum. These debentures were issued to Carolina Capital Trust, ("Carolina Trust"), a subsidiary of the Company. Carolina Trust acquired these debentures using the proceeds of its offerings of common securities to the Company and $10 million of Trust Preferred securities to outside investors. The Trust Preferred Securities currently qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act eliminates trust preferred securities as an element of Tier 1 capital for certain institutions. However, bank holding companies with assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, will be permitted to include trust preferred securities that were issued before May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital. The Company therefore believes the Trust Preferred Securities will continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements which, in the aggregate, constitute a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis by the Company of the obligations of Carolina Trust under the Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on January 7, 2035, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by Carolina Trust in whole or in part at any time. In the third quarter of 2008, Carolina Bank issued $9,300,000 of unsecured junior subordinated notes to outside investors which accrue and pay interest quarterly at three month LIBOR plus 4% per annum. The notes, net of unamortized expenses associated with the offering, equal to $9,216,000 and $9,179,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively and qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Bank. The notes are redeemable upon maturity on September 30, 2018, or earlier at the Bank's option, in whole or part subject to regulatory approval, beginning September 30, 2013. The expenses of the offering of $373,000 were capitalized at issue and are being amortized over sixty months. The notes are subordinate to the rights of payment to depositors, bankers' acceptances, letters of creditors and general creditors. Note I – Operating segments The Company is considered to have three principal business segments in 2012 and 2011, the Commercial/Retail Bank, the Mortgage Division, and the Holding Company. The Mortgage Division began originating home mortgage loans through third parties and selling these loans to investors in late 2007. A retail mortgage operation was added to the mortgage division in July 2010. Financial performance, reflective of inter-company eliminations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and selected balance sheet information, reflective of inter-company eliminations, at June 30, 2012 and 2011 for each segment is as follows:
The Mortgage Division has experienced strong growth in originations since its establishment in 2007 due to low interest rates and due to the purchase of a retail mortgage loan production office in July of 2010 and expansion of the retail mortgage operations in our branch offices. Originations and related fee income increased substantially in the first six months of 2012 over 2011 due to lower interest rates in 2012 and continued refinancing of older loans and lending for new home purchases. Our mortgage division was expanded in 2012 to manage the additional mortgage volume. Interest rate risk has been minimized by obtaining optional loan sales commitments when loan origination commitments are made or by entering into hedging transactions whereby mortgage backed securities are sold for the estimated closing value of loan commitments. Borrower fraud is a risk that has been minimized by prudent underwriting and by obtaining indemnification from the originating bank or broker for the risks the Company assumes. Warranty expenses and related warranty liabilities were established in 2009 to provide for potential claims that might arise from borrower fraud or underwriting errors. Warranty expenses were $163,000 and $98,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and were $291,000 and $207,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The warranty liability, which is available to fund future warranty claims, was $1,056,000 and $833,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Six warranty claims totaling $449,000 have been paid since establishment of the mortgage division in 2007. In addition, three loans with a total current principal balance of $464,000 and fair value of $409,000 have been repurchased and are included in loans held for sale at fair value. Other real estate owned includes one residence valued at $106,000 which was repurchased due to warranty claims.
Note J - Securities A summary of the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair values of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity follows:
The scheduled maturities of debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at June 30, 2012 were as follows:
Investments are periodically evaluated for any impairment which would be deemed other than temporary. Based upon these evaluations, the Company did not deem any debt securities to be impaired during 2011 or the first six months of 2012. The deterioration in value is primarily attributable to changes in market demand for corporate securities, not changes in the credit risk of the corporate issuers, and the Company expects these securities to be paid in full and that any temporary impairment will be fully recoverable prior to or at maturity. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the investment securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery or until maturity. Information pertaining to temporarily impaired securities with gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, by category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position follows:
Note K - Loans and allowance for loan losses The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the first six months of 2012 and 2011 and related asset balances at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is summarized as follows:
A loan is past due when the borrower has not made a payment by the contractual due date. The following table presents the carrying value of loans that are past due thirty days or more. Loans which are ninety days or more past due are generally on non-accrual status, at which time all accrued interest is removed from interest income, as shown in the following table:
Loans are determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts will not be collected when due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total recorded investment in impaired loans amounted to approximately $36,781,000 and $45,503,000, respectively. Of these impaired loans, $21,771,000 and $22,915,000 were on non-accrual at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The recorded investment and related information for impaired loans is summarized as follows:
Loans that are past due 90 days or more or where there is serious doubt as to collectability are placed on non-accrual status. Non-accrual loans are not returned to accrual status unless principal and interest are current and borrowers have demonstrated the ability to make contractual payments. Accrued interest is reversed through a charge to income when loans are placed on non-accrual and future payments on non-accrual loans are generally applied to principal. The following is a summary of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Loans are graded according to an internal loan rating classification system when originated. Loan grades are periodically re-evaluated during servicing, internal loan reviews, and external loan reviews. The general categories of the internal loan rating classification are:
The following is a breakdown of loans by the general categories of the internal rating system:
Construction and development loans experienced a material improvement in loan rating classifications in the first six months of 2012 because a $5,022,000 development loan was upgraded to pass from criticized, principal payments were made on various criticized construction loans, and a criticized development loan of $1,409,000 was transferred to other real estate owned. During 2012 and 2011, the Company restructured certain loans to improve the likelihood that the loans would be repaid in full under the modified terms in accordance with reasonable repayment schedules. Management evaluates each of these loans in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to determine whether they should be reported as troubled debt restructurings. The Company adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 during the period ended September 30, 2011. As required, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the 2011 fiscal year for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company did not identify as troubled debt restructurings any receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology. The Company offers a variety of modifications to borrowers. The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:
Available commitments for troubled debt restructurings outstanding as of June 30, 2012 totaled $143,000.
The following tables present troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
The Bank's policy is that loans placed on non-accrual will typically remain on non-accrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment in accordance with the loan agreement appears relatively certain. The Bank's policy generally refers to six months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status. Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans when modified, and fair value calculations are performed to determine the specific reserves required in the allowance for loan losses related to these loans. Troubled debt restructurings can be removed from such status and returned to non-impaired status in years subsequent to restructure if the interest rate charged at restructure was greater than or equal to the rate charged for a new extension of credit with comparable risk and if the loan is performing and there is no available information to indicate that performance will not continue.
The following tables present newly restructured loans that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:
The following tables present newly restructured loans that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:
The following tables represent financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings and with a payment default, with the payment default occurring within 12 months of the restructure date, and the payment default occurring during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

I think this is not real what I saw _Click ABOVE LINK to watch it_on YOU TUBE .What do you think?
I think there is something not true about this thing.
Sorry for the unintended rhyme.I am skeptical unless someone calls WH , like they did with the last Georgia firing and rehiring of an African American Agriculture Georgia state director for something she said but ,actually later on when investigated , itturned out that she did not .
It was then EDITED and fabricated by a blogger and later broadcast by a biased news channel who just beleived his fabricated story for some reasons of its own..May be this TV coverage story too is fabricated ,since it is coming again from Georgia like the other story...
We , here in Florida are SOUTHERNERS too like Georgia our next neighbor and we have our goofs to joke about!,Like ,we are known nationally and INTERNATIONALLY,for the HANGING CHAD or the BUTTERFLY BALLOT and jokes were made about us .LOL!
May be in Georgia they have something else to laugh or make a joke about? Is the "THE CRIMiNAL GARDENING " thing from Georgia one of tghose DIRT jokes?
I really do not know??.
Please , take me serious.I am an Urban Farmer myself and people usually think we farmers are good hearted and sometimes they joke how NAIVE we are..God Bless them .They make me laugh about those farmers jokes!LOL!!!!Keep them coming...May be this coverage story is another JOKE...LOL!
I am just posting the link as I received it .May be someone will prove that I am right : this clip about criminal charges for growing tomato is not true?
Do they have similar laws in Georgia like the ones in California about Medicinal Maijuana? May be they thought it was Marijuana ,like the recent raid of a school garden in California by police who mistook Tomato for Marijuana???Well, mistakes happen .
If that be the case,which I think IS AN INNOCENT mistake. then we need to EDUCATE more people about gardening ,for example those who make a mistake like the one in California school garden ,should sign up and volunteer at a CSA or a community garden and do some community service to learn how the tomato look like and take a course of PLANT IDENTIFICATION.
Gardening education should be obligatory at schools and colleges so that people will have a better awareness about where the food comes from and how to grow your own food in case you lost a job or a home etc..and save on the FOOD STAMP tax payers money!
They say it is better to teach how to fish rather than to give some one a fish...Try that at the garden.
I am kind of confused what to beleive these days!

I purchased a can of Fondarific on clearance. I knew it would likely be hard, but I figured I would add some oil and warm it with my hands and kneed it until it softened...
Then I read on the tub that you could microwave it for a few seconds to soften.
I don't know why this never occurred to me, but it didn't and I have the painful joints to prove it.
And it's PERFECT right out of the micro. It rolls like a dream. OMG where has this information been all my life?
