Definitely not as good as the waterproof version. It stings and it doesn't take makeup off as well. It's not worth buying. Just get the waterproof, which doesn't sting and doesn't take multiple swipes and a lot of product to remove makeup.

I used to use this frequently several years ago, but since I don't live near a Sephora I switched to more readily available eye makeup removers. I recently picked up a bottle of this again, and I think they have changed the formula in the past few years because this is awful. It does an OK job of removing eye makeup, but I find that most of the time after using this, I'll wake up the next day with some leftover mascara smudges that this didn't totally get off. My biggest issue with this product is the scent. It claims to have no added fragrance, but this stuff smells SOOO strong. It smells like blue raspberry flavored vodka...super strong and super alcohol-y. I'm not really sensitive to scents, but the smell of this is too much for me. Coupled with the fact that this stuff burns really badly if you get any into your eyes, I have to wonder if this is really the best thing to be using on the eye area. I honestly don't think I'm going to finish my bottle of this, and I definitely won't be repurchasing, which is a shame because I loved the older formula.

The most worrying thing about this product is that it smells like fingernail polish remover! I've had to stop myself several times to make sure that I wasn't putting nail polish remover on my eyes since it smells exactly the same. This, in and of itself, doesn't inspire confidence. This product is also expensive and only does a so-so job of removing eye makeup.

Cons- Does NOT fully remove all eye makeup especially waterproof eyeliners and mascaras, burns your eyes if it finds its way inside your eyes OUCHY!
Pros-Beautifully removes my 24hr foundation, leaves my skin soft, good for sensitive skin and does not break me out

This eye makeup remover is okay at removing eyeshadow, but as far as waterproof eyeliners and mascara goes this dosent cut the mustard at all. I think its all off, then wake up the next day with panda eyes. Also can sting a little but not so much with my eyes. Will not be repurchasing,

I would only repurchase this if I needed an eye makeup remover. I use cleansing oils and cleansing creams to remove my makeup so this isn't really necessary. This remover doesn't irritate my eyes and effectively removes my eye makeup without leaving an oily residue over my eyelids.

This was pretty effective at removing eye makeup but STUNG the bejaysus out of my eyes. It was a $6 impulse buy in the line at Sephora, returned after 2 uses.

Absolutely terrible! Does not remove my makeup, even with tugging and pulling. Irritates my eyes. May as well have taken my money and set it on fire.

Decently priced for a pretty good amount of product..I give it that.
BUT as for the actual product it is JUST OK.
Mary kay works 5X BETTER,.. I have to sweep this over my eye at least 3 times to fully get my eye makeup off.. and its not even waterproof... just basic shadow..
Will not purchase this again..
update: 3/3/13
I have used the rest of this up and It actually does work pretty well. it removes my eye makeup, not my mascara so well. but it does 90% of the job.
i Like the container. leaves a slight oily residue but what Eye makeup remover doesnt?
I still like the Mary kay much better though. but for convenience purposes. this is better. theres a Sephora at most major malls.

Mesh and sheer fabrics are a tricky beast. Consider these five styling tips so that you can flawlessly execute your next peekaboo ensemble.
Spring is (finally!) upon us, and as such, it's time to start shedding those countless layers of hats, scarves, and furs in favor of lighter-weight sundresses and cutoffs. During this time of seasonal change, you'll often find me consulting the September runway shows for style inspiration as I begin to refresh my wardrobe for the coming months. Since it's no cheap feat to do a complete overhaul of my closet season after season, I often like to make sure that I first and foremost invest in any spring staples that may need replacing; from there, I focus my attention towards any seasonal trends that pique my interest.
This season, I'm especially loving the delicate nature of the sheer organzas, laces, and mesh that popped up on the runways of Calvin Klein, Balmain, and Burberry, among countless others, and I'm eager to find ways to incorporate the gossamer trend into my own wardrobe. But alas, mesh and other sheer fabrics are a tricky beast: done well, they turn you into a total showstopper, but when poorly executed, you're...still a showstopper, sure, but in an unsavory, exhibitionist kind of way.
So based on my own trials and tribulations in learning how to style sheer clothing, I've created the ultimate list of do's and don'ts to consider when trying out the mesh trend. Click through above to master the sheer look!

Keogh voted sexiest celeb
Comment on this storyActor Tyrone Keogh has been voted the country's sexiest male celebrity according to South Africa's gay community.
Keogh, best known for his role in the local TV series The Wild, was announced the winner of the ClarinsMEN Mambaonline Sexiest Male Celeb Survey of 2012 at a function at Eden in Rivonia last night.
The 29-year-old actor beat some of the best known South African celebs to clinch the title of Sexiest Male of 2012.
His competitors included the likes of Olympic-winning swimmer Chad le Clos, Hip Hop star and Sama-winner AKA, new Top Billing presenter Jonathan Boyton-Lee, TV star Lehasa Moloi, Lee-Roy Wright from 94.7, actor Armand Aucamp, Proteas batsman Faf du Plessis, and model and reality TV star Gregg Hammond.
The competition was run by Mambaonline.com, South Africa's largest gay lifestyle portal.
Keogh received the most votes from Mambaonline users.
Keogh said he was overjoyed at being chosen as this year's sexiest male celeb.
"It's an honour. It's common knowledge that the gay community has great taste," said Keogh.
Having posed nude on several occasions, Keogh said he would be more than happy to do it again if given the opportunity.
"I've always been comfortable with my body, so it's never been an issue."
"My confidence comes from who I am, not what I look like. I'm not too concerned about the superficial stuff."

FRONTLINE | Flying Cheaper | Who's fixing your plane? | PBS
Duration: 03:01
Frontline #2906
Broadcast Date: Jan. 18, 2011
In this clip, O'Brien examines allegations of illegal airline parts being used to service planes of major carriers.
In "Flying Cheaper," coming Tues., Jan. 18, correspondent Miles O'Brien investigates the outsourcing of major airline repair work to lower-cost independent operations.
In a follow-up to Flying Cheap, the hard-hitting investigation of how major airlines outsource flights to regional airlines, FRONTLINE examines another growing trend: the outsourcing of major airline repair work to lower-cost independent maintenance operations abroad and here in the US Correspondent Miles O'Brien explores the world of contract maintenance and focuses this new FRONTLINE investigation on an ST Aerospace facility in Alabama, which now does heavy repair work for several major airlines, including United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and US Airways. Through interviews with company mechanics and an examination of both government and company records, the investigation raises serious questions about the quality and experience of the workforce; the use of foreign workers with limited English proficiency; and the alleged use of unauthorized airline parts. One veteran FAA inspector concludes, "Something's seriously wrong here, and we need to investigate this." Flying Cheaper is a reporting partnership with the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University's School of Communication.

Need an actionscript to upload an image in a flash application to change color etc.
Hi, I am desperately seeking actionscript to be able to upload an image such as a line drawing of a garment to a flash application for the enduser to automatically edit online, for example: a t-shirt so that the enduser can specify a color for the sleeves by clicking on the sleeves to change the color. Not sure how to script this can someone help!!!! Thanks so much in advance! the client is a non-technical person who wants to upload styles of garments periodically for the end-user to automatically change color of the garments with out having to edit in flash.

I think that is something you are going to either need to hire somebody for, or going to have to find an existing program out there. The only real help I could offer is to suggest looking at google, your question is too vague for us to actually provide you with some practical advice. I'm also a little confused about what you are actually asking, do you want the flash to be able to upload files, or just to have one of the applets you see one some websites where you can 'build' a live product?

Amazing house!
The house is wonderful for a large gathering of people. We had 14 people stay for the weekend and everyone had plenty of room. The outdoor space is where we spent a lot of our time because the owners have made it such an inviting environment from the lawn furniture, beautiful landscaping and the wonderful fire pit. The owners welcomed us with wine and ingredients for smores which was such a lovely way to kick off the weekend. Our group would come back here in a heart beat. Also the inside of the house is well maintained and the living room area is great for a big group to gather indoors. I highly recommend!

A very happy new year to you all!
Welcome to the HLG website It isn't the flashiest site you'll look at and we won't bombard you with more facts than you need. The aim here is to put our stock in front of you and give you a taste of what we are about. We're a well established business which places customer satisfaction at the top of our list of priorities - in our book, that goes hand in hand with the personal service that a small concern can offer over the larger, volume driven dealerships. We are still small enough to be able to hand pick every vehicle we offer for sale and our high rate of repeat business and recommendations from existing customers lend credence to this approach. Feel free to call in, telephone us or send us your email enquiry - we don't bite and we will do our best to help. We recently compiled a list of the last 450 retail quality cars which we have handled, the areas we sourced them and the areas where they ended up. It makes interesting reading. If you would like a copy, ask Peter and it will be posted out it to you forthwith. Whilst putting the list together, it transpired that our turnaround time from day of arrival to day of delivery was 19.8 days on average, which is less than half the national average, which stands at 42.2 days.The message here is, if you see something you like on the website or on the forecourt, don't dally, as you could easily miss out. We say that with some feeling, as we have, over the years, witnessed many disappointed potential customers, who have missed the boat by "thinking about it," or leaving their visit 'until the weather improves' allowing someone else to step in! We are sourcing cars all over the mainland on your behalf. Only today, as I write this, I have arranged the collection of a Honda Jazz in County Durham (a 2010, 10 plate 1.4EX 5 speed model in trendy black, one owner, 24,700 miles with Honda service history. Just before Christmas, we collected Jazzes in the North East and Hertfordshire, both of which sold within a few days of arriving here. I well remember, during that bad winter of six or seven years ago, getting a tip-off from one of our contacts in Edinburgh, informing us of an automatic Jazz SE which had been taken in part exchange by a main dealer in Aberdeen. ' Only trouble is, mate, it's up to its roof in snow in a compound. I'll let you know when we can get to it!' And, you know what? Three weeks later, as soon as we got that call, we had a trade plate driver on his way and the car duly arrived at Planet HLG (to be matched up with a new owner within a week!) We actually procured a Suzuki for a lady in Macclesfield about four years ago from a dealer in Belfast. She was delighted to get the model and colour she wanted so badly, I sometimes wonder if we got a bit carried away with that one, what with a ferry crossing and all. It all seemed worthwhile a few days after she took delivery, however, when an email arrived stating that we had put her 'in the Land of Happydom!'
You only live once! This photo might not immediately suggest a life enhancing hobby, but for the right person it could be an exciting prospect. We are looking for a caring new home for this 1981 Mercedes 380 SLC automatic. Finished in Diamond Blue metallic, this head turning classic harks back to an era of chrome, quality and a gentile driving experience. If you are a classic car owner already, or you have always hankered after owning one, come and have a look. Whilst not a concours winning contender (and not being marketed at a concours winning price) it is nevertheless a very attractive 33 year old, which would be well suited to showing at classic events and joining in with the runs out with like minded people. An added bonus is that unlike many classic and vintage cars, this has a good margin of safety in body strength and fitments, including seat belts for five people. It would need to be a 'friendly' five, admittedly, but at least you can take friends or the grandchildren with you. Have a look in the 'Cars For Sale' section for photos and full details, but suffice it to say that the last owner treated himself to this car for his 60th birthday and he is now 80! He now drives a smaller car, a 1 series BMW which we came across locally. So it is someone else's turn to be the curator, which at just £7,500 will represent something of a snip, we feel, for the right person. Sold with 12 months MoT and a lot of admiring glances!
We need your stamps! The HLG team is collecting used postage stamps in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People .
This wonderful charity, founded in 1982 trains and supplies canine companions for deaf handlers, enabling them to lead hugely enhanced lives. Please save yours and drop them in or post them to us. We have had around 500,000 stamps dropped in up to now - thank you and please keep 'em coming. N.B. Please leave a little paper around each edge of the stamps, (Ideally about 1cm). If posting, please make sure you have enough stamps on the package, as we have had several examples of non - delivery, which is a bit ironic when you think about it. Thanks!
Hope you like the painting - those of you who have seen our art gallery in the High Lane showroom will already be familiar with the work of this artist, Bill Hague. He is versatile, imaginative and is the first of a number of talented art practitioners who will be featured on our new art website www.murraycrescent.co.uk. Check it out and see what you think.
2014 was a productive year and we are proud that we have made a lot of people happy. If you are in the market for a change during January, feel free to get in touch, to let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to match them. Already, two local buyers are anticipating their 'new to them' purchases in the first week of 2015, a Honda Jazz 1.4 EX and a Mercedes SLK convertible, both of which are going to owners who have passed their 'three score years and ten' and who just love life. Naturally, we need to buy stock in order to sell it, so if you or someone you know has a well cared for vehicle to dispose of, we'll be very pleased to help. Do get in touch - we have bought literally thousands of vehicles over the past twenty two years. Whatever the hype and hullabaloo of some of the big name buyers, you will often do far better dealing with small independents, who appreciate your business and don't put you through the hassle of "ah, yes - that was the offer on the screen, but actually blah, blah, blah..." We have bought vehicles from so many people who have put themselves through unnecessary stress before finding us. We are licensed to settle any outstanding finance and it is our pleasure to make the transaction straightforward and transparent.
We see our garage, which was established on this site on 15th of June 1927, as perpetuating "the corner shop" approach to the motor business. If our record of repeat custom is anything to go by, it works. People come from all over, time and again and tell their friends, family and colleagues. On the 28th of May, we had a gentleman in for some new tyres on his Toyota, whose family have bought FIFTEEN CARS from HLG during our twenty one years here. Proof positive that we care - in fact we get the strong feeling that many people are going back to grass roots, spending their money where they know they will be treated with respect and given that extra time and consideration.
Do you have a local shopping story to tell? We'd love to hear from you, by 'phone 01663 763355 or send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Maybe we could have a register of local enterprises who try that little bit harder, for the benefit of us all. Let us know about your experience and let's get the pride back in local shopping. Talking of which, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our new neighbour across the road. Bev Love took over florist "Down To Earth" on the 6th of June and is well qualified to make the business 'rock,' having worked as a designer for Marks and Spencer and worked in London and Hong Kong before opening a giftware shop in India. High Lane resident Bev will carry on the traditional floristry side of the business, but now stocks accessories and soft furnishings to complement or transform your home. Well worth a visit! The shop now trades as Down To Earth incorporating Velvet Interiors, by the way.
Have a browse round our cars and remember that apart from buying and selling vehicles, you can sample our other services. Body repairs, paintwork, paintless dent removal, puncture repairs, tyres, servicing. Whatever your motoring needs, talk to us and we'll do our best to help you. Without pressure. With a smile.
Do you have a favourite place to eat out, somewhere you would be happy to recommend to our customers? Please send your suggestions and a quick comment about the food, service and value to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can share your choice(s). Thanks ever so.

Questions Are the Answer
''Isaac, your pants are on backwards."
"No they're not," my son replied without even looking down at his pants. When he was a pre-schooler, he would completely disrobe when using the bathroom, and then emerge with his clothing haphazardly reapplied.
"Yes, they are," I said.
"No, they're not!" he insisted, too busy chasing a ball to be bothered with a possible wardrobe malfunction. This exchange went on at least eight more times. Finally I physically stopped the boy.
"Isaac, look." I pointed to his pants. He finally looked down to see the back pockets of his blue jeans where a zipper should have been.
"I meant to do that," he said with a shrug of his shoulders, and continued after his ball.
We often assume success or failure are objective categories, but in truth they are defined by the questions we ask. For example, when I put on a pair of pants, I ask, "Am I wearing these pants correctly?" When Isaac was five, he asked a different question: "Is my body covered?" My question put Isaac's backwards blue jeans in the failure category, but he saw the outcome as a fashion win.
Whoever defines the question defines success.
A great deal of Jesus' ministry was intended to challenge and transform the questions being asked by his disciples. For example, when the widow put a penny into the offering, Jesus' disciples dismissed her gift as insignificant. Their culture was conditioned to ask, "How much did she give?" Jesus, on the other hand, celebrated her offering because he asked a different question, "How much did she sacrifice?" In this case, like so many, determining the right question is the difference between success and failure.
Before we evaluate our lives or our ministries, we must first determine what questions to ask. Sometimes identifying the right question is far more difficult and time consuming than the evaluation itself. Consider Albert Einstein's observation. He said, "If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on it, I would use the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."
If we've adopted the wrong questions, then it is likely we are judging ourselves and our ministries incorrectly. This is vividly displayed in Numbers 20 when Moses led the Israelites to Meribah. As they often did, the people complained to Moses about a lack of water. The Lord commanded him to speak to a rock and it would "yield its water." But Moses disobeyed God, and struck the rock twice with his staff. Amazingly water erupted from the rock. The people and their animals drank. The crisis was averted. Moses had saved the day.
Let's evaluate Moses' ministry at Meribah with the questions we frequently ask. Was his ministry relevant? Yes. What could be more relevant than giving ...

Hi all,
I was kind of surprised at the amount of interest that the undermount IKEA Domsjo sink generated in my thread on my new kitchen. It got me to thinking there must be a lot more out there that have considered this particular hack, so I figured I'd try and get some more photos, and give the topic its own thread! I should say at the outset that, while I love IKEA (obviously!) I think they only got it 80% right on this sink, and the 20% wrong is that dumb-looking (and absurdly wide) back ledge, and the unnecessarily thick side ledges. Honestly, if I couldn't have figured out a way to undermount this sink, I wouldn't have bought it-- it's really clunky as they show it installed. Plus that thick side ledge crumb catcher would have driven me insane. So. . . those disclosures aside, we just undermounted the Domsjo essentially just like we would have any other undermount installation. There are two ways to undermount a sink, with or without a drip rail, and they are COMPLETELY different. If you're going to do an undermount, be sure you're crystal clear on the difference, and which one you want to do. The Domsjo single bowl is a 24" sink, and we did a non-drip rail installation, so to undermount it, we used a 30" cabinet. The sink is designed to sit on two metal rails (they come with the sink) that span the width of the cabinet, and screw into the sides. Those rails are too short for a 30" cabinet, so we just reused a spare cabinet part (a plain 2 x 4 would work equally well) and placed it and screwed it exactly like we would have with the metal. If you look at the top left corner of this photo, you can see the sink resting on the support:
The only tricky part is measuring precisely, to make sure that you place the supports at the right height, so that the top of the sink is exactly level with the top of the cabinet. Once the sink is sitting level with the top of the cabinet, the counter top goes on, and sits on top of the sink and the cabinet. We just ran a bead of clear caulk along the sink/counter seam:
Don't forget to drill the hole for the faucet! That part's easy, though. Because there's a faucet hole on the back deck of the sink, all you have to do is trace it on to the underside of your countertop, and cut it out. The sink is drilled for a single hole mount. If you have your heart set on another style, you'll have to use a diamond hole saw and drill additional holes in the sink deck and countertop. Trimming the sink out was a touch fussy, but the beauty of IKEA is that you can buy doors and drawerfronts seperately, so we could just mix and match, keep what worked, and return what didn't. Throughout our project, we basically treated our IKEA as a glorified hardware store-- it was a monster collection of finished wood, hardware and parts at our disposal, and we just picked out and played with whatever looked like it might work. To do the apron around the sink, we used a 30" wide drawerfront (IKEA's deep drawer front-- about 12" high). In this photo, you can actually see that the cut drawerfront around the sink, and the drawerfront in the bottom stack under the microwave are identical:
We traced the outline of the front of the sink onto the drawerfront, and cut it with a jigsaw. Finish nailed it into place, then installed the airswitch for the disposal:
Because we dropped the height of the sink, none of the standard IKEA doors fit exactly, but the 18" set was really close, so we used those, and just added a small filler strip (maybe 3/4 inch?) above them:
Undermounting the sink only drops it by the height of the countertop (usually 1 1/2 inches), so not much changes with the interior space. There is definitely room for a pullout in there, or room for a disposal (we have one):
If anyone has any more questions about the sink install, I'm happy to answer what I can! |

Thanks again, brickmanhouse. One question: does the sink actually take the weight of the counter? I'd be a little concerned about that. |
- Posted by brickmanhouse (My Page) on Fri, Aug 20, 10 at 22:16
Hi Writersblock! What were you thinking would be a concern? Here's what we know from our install-- let me know if there's something we missed! The edges of the sink when undermounted are the same height as all the cabinets in the sink run, so while the sink probably bears some weight, it bears no more or less than any of the other cabinets in the run. The countertops in ANY sink run aren't supported continuously-- they're supported periodically along the run by cabinet sides. Whether the weight is supported at any particular point by a wooden cabinet edge or a porcelain sink edge shouldn't really matter at any rate-- we're only talking about a few hundred pounds of wood, tile or stone. The only time you'd have a problem is if someone screwed up and raised or lowered a cabinet (or a sink, I guess) so far that you'd cause a stress crack. So as long as all the cabinets and undermount sink are the same level, unless someone did something REALLY strange, havig a thick, sturdy (and the Domsjo is nothing, if not that) porcelain sink bear its fair share of countertop weight shouldn't be worth a second thought. |

I posted on your other thread, but thought I share here too. I'm planning on undermounting this sink. I found one in the scratch and dent section for $25. If you are undermounting it, a corner broken off the back lip is of no consequence. So, make the scratch and dent section your first stop! |
Hi, Wondering if you could tell me how that undersink vent from the photo is working? I have a similar issue that I might fix with one of those, instead of running the horizontal pipe under the window. Thank you for your advice and reviews. |
So clever! Thanks for posting this! And I love your knobs...are those chickens? Where did you get them? |

Scientists Successfully Grow Full Head of Hair On Bald Man
Soulskill posted about 7 months ago | from the not-for-patrick-stewart dept.
realized writes: "A man with almost no hair on his body has grown a full head of it after a novel treatment by doctors at Yale University. The patient had previously been diagnosed with both alopecia universalis, a disease that results in loss of all body hair, and plaque psoriasis, a condition characterized by scaly red areas of skin. The only hair on his body was within the psoriasis plaques on his head. He was referred to Yale Dermatology for treatment of the psoriasis. The alopecia universalis had never been treated.
After two months on tofacitinib [an FDA-approved arthritis drug] at 10 mg daily, the patient's psoriasis showed some improvement, and the man had grown scalp and facial hair — the first hair he'd grown there in seven years. After three more months of therapy at 15 mg daily, the patient had completely regrown scalp hair and also had clearly visible eyebrows, eyelashes, and facial hair, as well as armpit and other hair, the doctors said."

''Hangover III'' wraps up trilogy; we look back at franchises that ended on a definitive, upbeat note (yay, ''Harry Potter''!) -- and those that sullied our memories of better films (boo, ''Hannibal Rising'')
Installment: Third
Biggest Surprise: Where to begin? Like its predecessor The Dark Knight, the closing installment of this franchise twisted and turned on a dime like Batman's high-flying Bat through Gotham. Dark in name and in tone, the film showed the fallibility (and occasional outright brokenness) of Bruce Wayne/Batman, regularly shifted the narrative ground underneath fans' feet, and offered up a new, unexpected hero. No one has succeeded in presenting an underbellied superhero epic quite like Christopher Nolan, and Rises made for a finale as fitting as the Caped Crusader's now-retired rubbers. Lanford Beard

In regard to so much ado about the "pollution" from dipnet fishing, the Kenai and Kasilof rivers dipnet personal-use fisheries as they exist now should be available for Kenai Peninsula Borough residents only. The area becomes "people polluted" if every one from north of the Kenai Peninsula is allowed to participate in a very limited area for personal-use fishing quotas.
Let the Anchorage and their out-lying areas people fish their own areas.
Alaskans who care about our coasts should be outraged by the claims offered in TV commercials by the industry funded opponents of Ballot Proposition 2, re-creating the Alaska Coastal Management Program. Opponents claim Ballot Proposition 2 will promote legal battles that will delay permits for projects. There is simply no evidence for that claim. The Alaska Coastal Management Program is not a regulatory or permitting entity. The simple function of the program is to coordinate and expedite the review of development projects when a federal permit is required.
As everyone knows our king salmon runs on the Kenai have been getting worse for years and most of the businesses and fishermen have suffered because of it.
No one knows for sure why this has happened but a lot of fingers have been pointed at the catcher/processors. Perhaps if they have more incentive to not catch kings they will work out a solution to prevent it.
Both personally and as the local representative of Trout Unlimited Alaska I would like to commend the Clarion for its recent editorial on Pebble Mine and the release of the EPA's watershed assessment of Bristol Bay. The editorial gets it right in comparing what might happen in Bristol Bay to what happened here with this year's lack of king salmon. The impact felt to our economy, especially by many of our guides and commercial fishers, was just a small taste of what would happen in Bristol Bay if even modest contamination of groundwater were to occur.
Last legislative session, our governor proposed an annual $2,000,000,000 tax break (for 10 years, with no strings attached!) for the companies that extract our oil and gas resources from the ground. Thanks to the work of moderate Republicans and Democrats in the Senate Bipartisan Coalition the give-away failed. A compromise plan was rejected by the governor. Now we are just weeks away from an election that may well determine the economic future of the State of Alaska.
I don't get the rationale behind HEA's Minimum Energy Charge. They penalize HEA members $9.95 per month if we use less than 150 killowat hours each month.
I have prided myself on building my home to be energy efficient so to be as green as I can as well as saving on my utility bill.
I use 72 Kw hrs on average each month and I get penalized for it?
Isn't this backwards thinking? HEA's reasoning is for their members to share in the costs of HEA. Wasn't that why they raised our member charge (HEA Customer Charge) each month from $11.35 to $15.00?
I firmly believe we all should be good stewards of resources and lands. This is an act that I have demonstrated with my actions for the past 16 years. However, in recent months the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly chose to the pass Anadromous Streams Habitat Protection Ordinance, which is designed and authored to protect streams, lakes and watersheds of the Kenai Peninsula. On face value it sounds outstanding, right? Nothing could be further from the truth in my mind! It was back in the mid 90s when the Kenai Peninsula Borough passed the same ordinance for the world famous Kenai River.
I would like to express my sincere thank you to the community for recognizing and supporting the efforts of ROC the Kenai. ROC the Kenai stands for "Respect Our Community." My Caring for the Kenai project of finding a solution to the excessive fish waste and trash problem on the Kenai Beaches developed into a two year passion. This summer, numerous community members realized the significant dilemma that our beaches face during the month of July and helped out in many ways.
On Sunday, Aug. 5, 75 ladies and approximately 20 volunteers filled the Birch Ridge Golf Course with laughter, tears, an abundance of generosity, and lots of pink. The Pink Ribbon Rally Committee would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each participant, volunteer, donor, and hole sponsor for helping us make this year our most successful one to date. The funds raised at this annual event are donated to the Central Peninsula Health Foundation Breast Cancer Fund to help in the fight against breast cancer on the local level through awareness, early detection and treatment.
Don't be a chump. Vote yes on ballot measure 2 on August 28.
In territorial days carpetbaggers from outside ripped off our resources and took the profits south. Alaskans had little say in who got the fish, trees, oil and minerals or how they were managed. The Feds decided. The Feds and their rich, lower 48 patrons.

text: The Oak Ridge Boys are like mortar in the wall of modern American musical history. They are there, holding their end of the bargain, through decades and decades of comings and goings of chipped brick singers and bands. They came together in the early '70s with a configuration of talented singers who, if you checked their backgrounds, you wouldn't have given a plug nickel as to the chances of them sticking it out together. You had a pragmatic Texan (Duane Allen); an independent soul from Alabama (William Lee Golden); and two northern "city boys"—a street kid and entertainment addict from Philly (Joe Bonsall) and a Jersey boy with a penchant for style (Richard Sterben). This mix was sure to implode all on its own in no time. Wrong.

old Type: In Wife of the Chef, you vividly describe restaurant culture and how it feeds into your marriage; I felt exhausted just reading about it! How did you get the idea to write the book?
Courtney Febbroriello: The book started as a journal. At the end of the night as the last table lingered in the dining room, I would head to the office and write about service, customers, food, or employees. It turns out that I had a lot to say and it became a book.
BT: You and your husband, Chris Prosperi, come from completely different food backgrounds: you loved junk food and became vegetarian while he was exposed to a wide variety of cuisines. Do you think this helped you examine the culinary world from a more detached viewpoint?
CF: Absolutely. When you live in a restaurant environment fifteen hours a day you quickly forget that most people dine on TV dinners, fast food, and canned soup. Ingredients like foie gras, smoked salmon, and caviar are not commonplace for the average dinner. I am able to see food from both sides which allows me to poke fun at people who take it too seriously.
BT: You write pretty freely yet comically about Chris and the staff at Metro Bis; the end of the night recap had me laughing for a long time. How have they responded to the book?
CF: Everyone loves it. The staff enjoy pointing out their quotes and suggesting other Metro Bis events that I should have included. Chris laughed out loud when I read the book to him during the editing process. When people ask him what he thinks, he often responds, "It's all true. So what's there to think about?"
BT: I've read several articles that seem to suggest that culinary marriages can only succeed if both spouses work together. Do you think this is true?
CF: Culinary marriages are hard and there isn't a working situation that seems to save more relationships. We enjoy working together because we actually get to see each other, but we've been employed by husband and wife teams who screamed at each other all day long. Sometimes it works better to have separate lives. It really depends on the couple.
BT: Wife of the Chef has been described as the woman's response to Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. If the book had been Husband of the Chef, do you think it would have been different? Do you think owning a restaurant is harder for a woman?
CF: Ooh. This is a hard one. I'm sure that a husband of a chef would have written a different book but there still would have been some strong similarities. The chef often gets the attention regardless of gender. The difference would have been the description of the chef. The female chefs I have encountered think about the nurturing act of feeding their diners while most male chefs are more concerned with production and competition. Female chefs obviously are interested in these aspects too but their priorities are less aggressive.
It is hard for anyone to own a restaurant. But owning a restaurant and having children seems harder on women. One of the most popular seminars at the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs conference this fall was for personal chefs. Many of the women who attended were interested in finding jobs within the field that allowed them to continue their careers and dedicate time to their families.
BT: There's a hilarious section towards the end where you have a laugh at foodies and chef envy. Why do you think we romanticize food and the act of cooking?
CF: I'm not too sure about the reasons why food has risen to such greatness especially when you consider where it ends up in twelve hours. For some cooking seems to be a nostalgic lost craft that reminds us of simpler times when our grandmothers used to bake bread and can jam. My grandmother made bread (and a great Jello mold) but that doesn't make me want to spend hours of my life searching for the perfect yeast starter. For others, food is a sign of status. The upper middle class might not be able to afford a yacht but a trip to one of the top restaurants in the country is within reach, affords the diner some level of sophistication, and allows for bragging during dinner parties. It doesn't really matter what the reason is as long as people continue to enjoy food and dining out.
BT: While the culinary world has had public faces like Julia Child and Wolfgang Puck in the past, the growing popularity of Food Network has brought about a new culinary star system. Now we see Emeril with his own (thankfully cancelled) sitcom, the Naked Chef and Nigella Lawson broadcast from England, and Ming Tsai and Rocco DiSpirito touted as sexy chefs in People. What do you think of the rise of the celebrity chef? How has it affected the restaurant business?
CF: Thank god for Emeril! He takes a lot of slack from the restaurant community but he doesn't get any credit for bringing food to the masses. Emeril has helped to stir an interest in foods that most diners have never encountered and are now willing to try. Restaurants can be intimidating for people who only eat out two or three times a year. Going to a fancy restaurant and taking a gamble on a $24 dish that has foreign ingredients can be overwhelming. When people learn what proscuitto is from Emeril they feel more confident ordering it. Celebrity chefs have raised the public's awareness for restaurants from a way to fill their stomachs to a full dining experience of atmosphere, wine, and culinary experimentation. The only downside has been the response of students at culinary schools who graduate thinking that they will have at least four restaurants, three cookbooks, and a TV show within five years of their careers.
BT: You were an English major in college; did you ever want to write?
CF: I was an English major but by the time I finished college I was convinced that I couldn't write. My style was much less structured than the college professors required and I still wasn't sure about how to use the comma. I didn't think there would be writing in my future.
BT: What next? Are you thinking about writing another book?
CF: Don't want to be an one-hit wonder. Yes, I am thinking about something else.
BT: If you didn't have Metro Bis anymore, what would you be doing? Would you ever own another restaurant?
CF: I can't imagine doing anything else. I love it here. If I wasn't at Metro Bis I would have another restaurant. This is the most rewarding career because I am constantly challenged and learning in the office, on the floor, down in Express, and in the kitchen.

"First - there are several features about this shirt that is better than others I looked at. One, is the front buttons instead of a v-neck and second the pockets had flaps and secured. It gives the referee a well kept look. Funny how it matters but it does. Second - about the service in general - we got our order in 3 days using your standard shipping which was great. She had her uniform in time for her first game. We almost did not use Epic for fear of when it would show up, but everything about it was great. I highly recommend it." (E361)

'Fuzzy Giants' is an apt name for this collection of teddy bear-like toys from the Poznan, Poland-based designer Entala.
The fuzzy dolls are inspired by animals both legendary and real. Whether it is a lion, monkey or a yeti, Entala hits the nail on the head when it comes to these cute and offbeat designs.
Each of the toys wears a dopey, sloth-like expression, which is not a bad thing considering many people's fondness for sloths. Owing both to their aesthetics and to the simple fact that they are essentially teddy bears, these products have wide appeal. They would no doubt be popular with children, but could also find homes on the shelves of some more design-inclined adults.
In recent years, toy design has become more elaborate and developed; as such, many grown people will buy them, not because they need a teddy bear, but because they like the look.

we live on molokai at the 1500' level and want to plant indigenous trees and plants in an undeveloped lot next to us. please advise us on sources and how-tos. we are always looking forward to earth day in april when free seedlings of different plants are given out. also we got vanilla orchid cuttings growing in a screened box. they need to be planted as they have outgrown the box. should we plant them in a larger screenhouse? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your heading said "iliahi (sandalwood)" so I'd like to address a few things about 'iliahi (Santalum spp.). There are two species that grow on Moloka'i, the coast sandalwood, or 'iliahialo'e (Santalum eliipiticum) which grows as a shrub, but sometimes as a tree. The other species, 'iliahi (Santalum feycinetianum) is found in the forested areas. Both are rather easy to grow if you find ripe seed. They are well worth the effort and very striking trees or shrubs. Sandalwood are probably semi-parasitic. This means they will need to grow next to another plant to recieve nutrients and thrive. If not they will soon die. I don't think they are very choosey either. So far, any native plant that I have planted my 'iliahi next to have been sucessful. Koa (Acacia koa), Koai'a (Acacia koaia), and 'ohi'a (Metrosideros spp.) are excellent native trees to host 'iliahi. I have planted 'iliahialo'e next to coastal naio (Myoporum sp.) with good results too. They need to be planted out when they are very young when about 3-5" tall. I wouldn't let them get any taller in a pot. Plant them in part sun/shade. Daily watering is necessary until established. They are somewhat slow at first, but then can grow quickly. Moloka'i has many other unique plants found only in Hawaii. I would invite you to e-mail me directly and I can give you some personal information on what would be be good for your area. Aloha firstname.lastname@example.com |

I've read that these sandalwoods are a partial parasite. Read that cotton can be a good host. Quick to germinate in the same pot. kevin |

U.S. Edition
Scientists can't really know what a child is thinking, but they are interested in the brain processes that happen in educational settings. To that end, a new study in PLOS Biology compares the brains of children and adults, using "Sesame Street" as a way to test what happens on a neurological level during a popular TV program aimed at learning.
"We're kind of honing in on what brain regions are important for real-world mathematics learning in children," said lead study author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
Participants included 27 typically developing children, ages 4 to 10, and 20 adults between ages 18 and 25. Each participant took part in one or more of the three components to the study.
Researchers focused on what happens in the brain during mathematical lessons. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure the neural activity in participants.
In one part of the experiment, children and adults watched the same 20-minute montage of clips from "Sesame Street," and the fMRI scanner measured their brain activity for the duration of the video. Some clips were related to counting, while others were about colors, animals and other non-math topics. In a different task, participants had to determine whether the stimuli they were shown were the same or different, such as faces and numbers. Children were also given standardized IQ tests after the scanning.
Researchers found that adultlike brain responses tended to show up in kids who demonstrated higher math and verbal knowledge levels. A brain region called the interparietal sulcus appeared to be linked to mathematics, as activity in that area tended to increase during math-related "Sesame Street" segments.
This area of the brain has been linked to working memory in previous research, and there has been some debate about its role in mathematics learning.
The researchers do not have enough evidence to say that this is a causal factor, however. In other words, they do not know if these neural patterns are the cause or effect of learning.
A different brain region called Broca's area was associated with verbal knowledge, which has been well established by other scientists.
More from CNN Health: Does mom's depression affect baby's language?
The sample size was small for this study. Although this is typical for fMRI studies, especially given the cost involved in such protocols, more research needs to be done to confirm these findings and better explain their role in the learning process.
Future studies:
Cantlon and colleagues did not compare the neural responses to "Sesame Street" with any other real-world educational program or classroom setting, which could be another area of inquiry. However, it is hard to control exactly what happens in a "classroom setting" scenario, which is an advantage of showing everyone the same TV show montage.
Also, the age range of the children who participated was broad; a future study could focus on particular age groups, Cantlon said.
"It would be nice to put a finer point on that, and test children in narrower age windows with narrower skill sets to see if we could find even finer relationships, perhaps in subsections of this interparietal sulcus region, in certain types of math skills," she said.
Newsflash: people who are interested are interested.
New flash: you're an imbecile.
One of the most useless studies in recent years. What does this have to with anything relating to the real world? We already know those who engage in math and science are significantly smarter and more mature than those who don't. This doesn't add anything to the conversation on child rearing that we don't already know. Whoever commissioned this wasteful study should be fired from their job pronto.
When Michael Faraday demonstrated a dynamo to the British Parliament in the early 1800s, showing that electrical current could be generated by spinning a wire inside of a magnetic field, one of the Parliamentarians asked "Of what use is it?" Faraday replied, "I don't know, but I'll wager that some day you'll tax it." We now have electric utilities providing electrical power all across the globe, and billing us for it. This study is research into basic principles of science (neuroscience in this case), building evidence to answer the question "Is this part of the brain used for that function?" It's a yes or no question, and its answer leads to further questions that deepen our understanding of the world and ourselves. No one is sure what use it will be yet, but the research isn't a waste. Someday, someone will find a way to make money from it or the questions that follow.
Why is it that every scientific article on CNN immediately evokes the "it's a waste of money" comments? These comments usually seem to be code for "I did not understand the study well enough to understand its function," or "my depth of scientific understanding is so limited that I can't understand the value of anything other than direct translational research."
I simply don't understand why commenters would be so confident in advertising their ignorance. I frequently read articles outside of my area of expertise, and can't immediately see the value. However, it would never occur to me to declare with false certainty that the study was useless, the researchers were clueless, etc. If you really don't understand the value of the research, why not just ask, rather than attacking?
In this case, an understanding of which portion of the brain process which type of information could have numerous applications - for example, in facilitating the diagnosis or treatment of specific brain disorders.
I think the parameters of the study should have been more closely defined before the study was conducted. It seems a waste to perform a study then to have the results thrown out because the test subjects were too broad based. This happens too often in university studies. Grant funds are hard enough to come by without being wasted by a group with every good intention rushing into an experiment without looking at the larger scientific outcome with regard to their initial hypothesis. In short....be thorough before you start... better planning would have resulted in a more accurate study with viable results
Children given early language stimulation and attention grabbing stimuli always do better on IQ tests as well as academic tasks-nothing new,
good reason to keep shows like this on TV
They should have used adults from a wider age range. It's pretty obvious from the ages (18-25) that they just used their own students out of convenience.
This furthers my opinion that one thing wrong with the world is kids don't watch enough Sesame Street (and Mr. Rogers for that matter).
Given the significant increase in the number of students with learning disabilities in the U.S within the last 50 years, any advances in the field of neuroscience can only further our understanding of the relationship between specific brain processes and learning and hopefully lead to the creation of effective educational interventions.
One thing is clear. Sesame Street is a great educational program that stimulates the brain. I wonder if it also triggers areas in the brain that relate to creativity and literacy too?

The opportunities afforded through fMRI technology serve as a wonderful compliment to thoughtful studies like this one. This is precisely what science is for, making incremental steps in uncovering the dark corners of human understanding. The doctor who ran this study and all of her colleagues throughout the academy are the reason civilization moves forward. Fine work here. Super interesting. @Daniel: How do you manage to power your computer in that cave?
fascinating work. can't wait for the follow up studies on this.
