In the high-stakes big budget world of computer animation, "Hoodwinked" is an anomaly, as it was made without the benefit of major studio cash. Audiences have become accustomed to the dazzling visuals of Pixar movies, however, so the makers of this independently financed movie face an uphill battle, especially since its characters are all uncomfortably glassy-eyed and move like two-jointed 80s action figures.
The "Shrek"-like premise of spoofing classic fairy tales is almost as old as "Hoodwinked's" animation techniques, which are just a step above Madden 2005. Cory and Todd Edwards, the co-writer/directors (along with Tony Leech) know this, so they try to make up for it by packing in more obscure pop culture references than an episode of "The Family Guy."
The Wolf, voiced by Patrick Warburton, is a Fletch homage, a reporter who wears Chevy Chase's Lakers jersey and hoodie (when he's not in one of his crazy disguises) and is accompanied by Harold Faltermeyer-like synth pop to accentuate his deadpan delivery.* And there's a Granny (Glenn Close) who mysteriously appears in the clouds like Obi-Wan Kenobi to tell her granddaughter to "Use the hood, Red, use the hood!"
The film opens with narration that refers to Little Red Riding Hood, but could also be a plea for leniency from the filmmakers: "You can't judge a book by its cover."
Unfortunately, that is a lot to overlook. The action scenes, while frenetically paced, just don't pan out. It is difficult to feel danger in a manic chase when the character is staring straight ahead, mouth agape, with the same blank expression from the scene before. Most of the emotion, then, comes from the actors that are voicing Red (Anne Hathaway), her Granny, the Wolf, and the Woodsman (Jim Belushi). It is like watching a bad music video where the singer is belting out the song, but can't lip-sync it with the same passion.
To its credit, "Hoodwinked" attempts to mix things up by sporting a "Rashomon"-like timeline where each character gives their own version of a crime. In this case, the fairy tale quartet are rounded up by a long- legged, mustachioed frog named Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Steirs) for questioning about the theft of the woodland communities' "goodie" recipes.
Each suspect has a stranger backstory than the next, some so weird that the jokes may be lost on younger viewers. As the Wolf trudges through a sewer with his annoying chipmunk sidekick Twitchy (Cory Edwards), the scared rodent says, "We're gonna die in here!"
"That's what they said at the Alamo," the Wolf reassures him.
This kind of cheekiness is kind of charming after a while, and there are other clever ideas, like a goat (Benjy Gaither) who uses his oversized horns as a rocking chair and has to sing everything in a high country tenor. The original songs, sung by the characters (with the notable exception of a nice ballad called "Red is Blue" by Ben Folds), are not too bad either.
"Hoodwinked" shows a lot of promise for its filmmaking team. It has an anarchic spirit and lots of in-jokes for adults. With a bigger budget and a better concept, Leech and the Edwards brothers could probably make a way more entertaining film.
** As an extra bonus tribute to Chase, the Wolf also utters the infamous line "Candygram.." when approaching a door.

The odds are always against her...
But this time Tessa Jamison isn't leaving River Bluff, Texas, until she finds what she came for: the father of her sister's two-year-old son. And the stand-in Santa at the local church bazaar could be the man she's looking for.
Cole Lawry seems an unlikely candidate for instant daddy. What's more, the divorced ex-businessman and consummate poker player insists he's not a father--never has been, never plans to be.
Until Tessa calls his bluff. Which means gambling everything she's got. Including her heart.

I have two modules of a software, one running on a PowerPC and another on x86 machine. The two modules communicate using ASN.1 generated functions. The PowerPC is big endian and x86 is little endian. I am not getting the expected data from the x86 to the PowerPC. Could endianess be a problem while using asn.1 ?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I am not sure whether your question is about the ASN.1 standards or about some particular tool that you are using. If it is the former, then the answer is that the bits on the wire produced by the encoding rules of ASN.1 (BER, PER, etc.) do not depend on the endianness of the computer on which the data is encoded. |
Why didn't you debug the received data and compare it with the original? Wouldn't it much easier and faster than asking a question here? Just a breakpoint is enough In general any multibyte data that is stored into memory or transfered between computers must follow a specific endian, or you must include the endian information in the stream and reverse the the data if necessary in the receiver |

Weather was bad and nothing to do in martinborough
We loved the gorgeous cottage!
There was nothing we didnt like.
Comfortable room, great bed, well equipped kitchen. Good breakfast.
The wifi just does not work and it clearly has not worked for some time after reading earlier reviews. They should either fix it or stop advertising that they include wifi. There is no excuse.
Modern furnishing and decor. Scrumptious breakfast.
Lack of cooling facility in summer. Winemakers cottage were hot. The common areas in the 2 bedroom unit had air conditioning but not in the bedrooms.
Beautiful furnishings, spacious cottage, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and a great jumping off point to a wine adventure with a bike rented for the day
Only downside was very spotty to non-functional wifi.
shower water all over the place and small sink with nowhere to place makeup , toothbrush/pastes, toiletries etc
Location is very good.
On arrival, telephone was dead and would not recharge. Wifi was not working.
Well appointed cottage Close to everything Good restaurant Lovely fireplace
Noise from adjacent room, paper thin walls you can hear every conversation No WiFi connection in room, needed to walk to the restaurant to download emails and news

Pool was out of service
We liked the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It was a beautiful place to stay and we felt very comfortable..we were very happy to be upgraded. Thank you.
We found the wifi was too slow. There was a damp /mouldy smell in our bathroom.
We loved the quiet privacy of our cottage which looked out over countryside with no sign of other humans. We also loved the modern architecture of the cottage itself with its high ceilings, interesting and workable layout and overall luxurious feeling. Gail -Thames Gail Thames
Was so quiet, and the service was awesome.
We were really looking forward to using there pool since it is summer and had been very hot days their, but the pool was closed for the two days and nights that we stayed. The whole reason we stayed there was because of the pool.
I didn't like it actually. If you take the time to call me I will inform you in more detail as to what you need to correct to make you a five star. Giving a five star rating is misleading.
Comfortable place to rest a weary head after a days wine touring vineyards on bikes. Bed was comfy and the room felt quite plush. I woke up and thought damn isn't this nice!!! Had a coffee then had some breakfast at the restaurant which was pretty pretty pretty pretty good.
tv reception for the very short time we watched tv, wasn't really a problem though only thing i thought i could write negatively about.
Great room, surrounded by trees so each unit was very private.
Pool cold however refreshing after a hot day biking around wineries. Later check out would be good as breakfast is from 8:30 till 10:30.
Loved the privacy of the rooms, close to town, pleasant people and great service.
What's not to like?!
The rooms and outlook are great. Service was attentive and helpful. Food was good although expensive. Facilities; tennis, pool, bikes - great.
The internet was intermittent. The 'bar' never appeared open by itself. It would have been nice to have it staffed from 4-6pm before dinner to provide snacks/drinks.
Loved the location of this place, very peaceful. Well layed out complex, very rustic setting. The finishing touches to the room are of a high standard eg the merino blanket, kitchen accessories, coffee machine, cushions etc. The office staff were very helpful & courteous.
The pool was not in operation which was a shame and for an up market establishment breakfast was very disappointing. One of us managed to get food but the buffet then ran out of bacon, eggs and tomatoes. After 15/20 minutes it arrived (no tomatoes) but by then one had well finished and the other had not even started. Staff seemed distant and irritable. Shame as the breakfast was a big part of our treat away from home.

Pandora Says Its Mobile Video Ads Are Heating Up With Brands Taco Bell, BMW run pilot; local brands testing waters
Pandora's earnings call later today, per predictions, should include a boost in mobile revenues as it adapts to digital music listeners' shift from desktops to smartphones. And while mobile audio ads have long been part of the digital music service's marketing platform, its mobile video spots targeting on-the-go consumers are apparently gaining traction among brands, per company executives.
Heidi Browning, svp of strategic solutions for the Oakland, Calif.-based tech company, recently chatted with Adweek about Pandora's one-year-old Video Everywhere platform, which enables advertisers to buy a mix of mobile and desktop ads against audience segments. The firm also lets brands purchase inventory by specific devices, e.g., phone, tablet and desktop.
When asked which purchasing option was most popular among brands, Browning pointed to the Video Everywhere product. "I think when you think about video, it's always audience," she said. "When you think about TV and video advertising, it's about how to get your message or story in front an audience at scale."
Below are other excerpts from the conversation:
So, do Pandora's video advertisers believe that targeting the right people trumps the bigger screen size consumers get with desktops compared to mobile?
I think so. When eMarketer [projects 87 million smartphone video viewers by 2014], it tells me that screen size isn't the important factor there. It's about a mobility mind-set, getting content wherever you are.
Has Video Everywhere changed the types of brands running ads on Pandora?
We've really expanded past entertainment clients to include CPGs, automotive, retail and quick-serve-restaurant chains. Advertisers are trying to extend their audiences, and they've seen the value in our platform—so they are adding video to their plan. We also just extended [Video Everywhere] ads to iPad. We ran an [eight-week pilot] sponsorship with Taco Bell, BMW, Target and USA Network. The product did really well.
Local has been an emphasis for the last few years. What can you tell us on that front?
You can actually see how big our local audience is compared to local radio. In our top 10 markets, we are bigger than the top radio station in each of those markets. The other key is our first-party data, which really makes our targeting work. We ask for age, gender and ZIP code upon registration. That's how we are able to deliver effective campaigns for local advertisers as well as national advertisers.
Are local businesses buying mobile video ads?
Is it a significant number or small but growing?
I'd say it's small but growing. We've seen a lot of marketers with the mantra, "We're a global brand with a local footprint." Our ability to deliver at scale for local is attracting, for instance, automotive brands that have national campaigns but also have local dealer campaigns. They can take their global messaging and bring it down to exact offers for their franchisees by using our targeted media.
Are they repurposing :15 and :30 spots or creating dedicated content?
Yes, they are [repurposing] those spots. We don't accept :60s.
What else are you seeing with your video ads?
As we watch investments shift to digital video from other channels, I think there's still room for growth in this mobile area. We've made it as easy to plan and buy as possible. We're No. 3 behind Google and Facebook for mobile monetization. We're proud of that.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

The Best Customer Service

I recently ordered Butter Coin by Alex Lourido. When it came I was horrified to see I had gotten a defective product. I contacted MJM, and they were extremely helpful.

I will never shop at any other online magic site again. MJM is by far the best. Thanks to everyone involved.

Totally delicious - added Dijon mustard to the dressing, omitted the cheese and added walnuts fried in maple syrup with a bit of chilli flakes and salt - definitely to be done again.
Yummo!! Made this for a family BBQ and it was delish! I made two modifications - I added a tin of drained chickpeas and substituted the goats cheese for reduced fat feta and it still turned out lovely! I read someone else's comment that said theirs turned out gluggy. Just wondering if you rinsed the pearl barley first, as per the directions on the packet? The instructions here don't say to do that, but remember you have to rinse your pearl barley before cooking it!!!
Easy to make. Pumpkin was hard to brown so turned oven up a bit and gave it some more time in the oven. The cheese seemed to melt into it when I tossed it all together even though pumpkin and barley were well cooled. It would have looked more attractive if a few pieces of cheese were reserved and sprinkled on top. I found it a bit "gluggy", but guests loved it.
really yummy recipe and easy to make with not much ingredients!
Love this recipe...
So easy to make, and oh, so very delicious! I added some cooked red onion as well. And because pumpkin NEVER goes "golden" for me in the oven, I ended up after 20 minutes in the oven, tipping the tray out into a non stick frying pan, and finishing it off in there, with a little more honey, to get some "burned" bits (extra tasty!)
My house now smells amazing, my belly is full, I have leftovers and goat's cheese to mix together for lunch tomorrow, and my tastebuds are happy even though I have a cold. Hooray!
this is a great tasting salad and so easy to make, I will definitely be making it again this summer
Delicious & very filling.Have made it a few times for family & friends
So easy to put together and really yummy- used sweet potato as well as pumpkin and added garlic cloves while roasting. Used red balsamic as did not have white - worked well. Sweet veggies with salty feta and chewy barley a great combo. I also served warm (barley and veg).

Out-of-state expert wins Washington marijuana consultant contract
- Valerie Bauman
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn
Botec has also tapped a variety of subcontractors to help with the four core areas covered in the request for proposals: product knowledge; quality standards and testing expertise; product growth recommendations based on anticipated consumption; and the development of product regulations.
For product and industry knowledge, Botec plans to partner with California-based Michael Sautman, former CEO of Bedrocan International. The Dutch company focused on standardizing production of marijuana on an industrial scale while meeting government regulations.
David Lampach will lead the team focused on product quality standards and testing. He's the president of technological development at Steep Hill Lab, a California-based marijuana testing facility. The group developed the first packaging and labeling protocol for marijuana in the U.S.
"The world's eyes are upon us," Lampach said at a press conference Tuesday in Olympia. "Failure is not an option."
Botec will team with Beau Kilmer, a senior policy research at the California-based RAND Corporation, for measuring product usage in Washington and recommendations for production. It's the same team that the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy hired to find national estimates of the total number of marijuana users, volume of marijuana consumed and total marijuana expenditures at the retail level.
Botec's general counsel, Lowry Heussler will lead the team developing recommended regulations for the new industry, including growing, transporting, distributing and retail sales of marijuana.
Valerie Bauman covers health care and the marijuana industry for the Puget Sound Business Journal.

The highly-rated full-back has established himself as a key member of Chris Powell's side since coming through the ranks at The Valley.
A number of Premier League clubs are thought to be admirers of Solly, but Charlton have moved to tie him down to a new long-term deal.
Powell was delighted to secure the defender on a long-term basis and feels he deserves his new contract
"I'm really pleased we've managed to get Chris done," Powell told the club's official website. "It's fully deserved after his exploits over the last couple of seasons since I've been here.
"It's important to get your players, especially young players that have made an impression, tied down to the club and he's an academy product that has blossomed in the side and has gone from strength to strength.
"It's always important and it's a good sign that we've been able to do it and I'm really pleased for Chris because now he can fully concentrate on his football."

EuropeEU increases offer on farm tariffs But bloc's top trade negotiator finds little support at world trade talks in Geneva. 21 Jul 2008 19:04 GMT Nicolas Sarkozy has previously accused Mandelson of overstepping his mandate [AFP] Peter Power, Mandelson's spokesman, said: "This is a very considerable advance and it is a very substantial improvement and should inject important momentum into discussions in Geneva this week." 'Nothing new' Ministers from 35 countries were launching a fresh bid in Switzerland to get the nearly seven-year-old Doha round of trade liberalisation talks back on track. Developing countries Brazil, India and Indonesia poured cold water on the proposals and even Mariann Fischer-Boel, Mandelson's fellow EU commissioner, who holds the agriculture dossier, said of the proposal: "It's nothing new." Anne-Marie Idrac, the French trade minister, said: "Was there new progress, new percentages? The answer is no. Peter Mandelson this morning had clarified ... what technical discussions have come up with - nothing more, nothing less." Idrac said that the difference between the two figures were down to whether tropical products were included in the tariff cut calculations or not. Meanwhile, Michel Barnier, the French agriculture minister, maintained that the EU was not budging on its position on agricultural trade. He said: "Anyway, no state member of the EU would be ready to accept or to support a new offer on this question." Earlier, Roberto Azevedo, one of Brazil's leading negotiators, said the number was a "consequence of the different numbers on which the EU had already agreed on among themselves. If they are proposing to cut, that's because they have the margin to do so". Another member of the Brazilian delegation dismissed Mandelson's offer as mere "propaganda". Intense pressure Proposals drawn up by Crawford Falconer, the WTO's chief agricultural negotiator, envisage sweeping subsidy cuts by rich Western countries, which have often been accused by developing nations of undermining free trade and pushing their farmers into penury. The biggest subsidisers would make the biggest cuts, notably the EU, which would have to slash its payments to farmers by between 75 and 85 per cent. Even before the latest 60 per cent proposal was made, Mandelson had described the 54 per cent cut as "painful" but a step Brussels was prepared to make to ensure a global trade deal. Mandelson has been under intense pressure from EU member states, not least France which currently holds the EU presidency, to avoid giving too much ground on trade in agriculture. Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president, has already accused Mandelson of overstepping his mandate and offering too much on agriculture subsidies. Last week, John McGuinness, the Irish trade minister, said that the European Commission had gone "way too far" in its proposals. Source: Agencies

The South Carolina primary is up next, after Mitt Romney scored a narrow victory in the Iowa caucuses, and then won by a large margin in the New Hampshire primary. Can Romney win in South Carolina? The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan writes that to improve his chances, Romney needs to do a better job of addressing the Bain issue. Romney's critics on the left and the right have accused the former venture capitalist of behaving like a corporate raider. A recent poll showed Romney and Newt Gingrich in a tight race, in South Carolina. The primary is January 21st.
Mitt Romney's victory in New Hampshire Tuesday takes him one step closer to the GOP Presidential nomination, especially given the fragmented showing by the rest of the field. The former Massachusetts Governor met expectations in the state where he owns a home, and he will now head to South Carolina with no clear single rival who might unite conservatives. Ron Paul's strong second-place finish was also notable, showing the continuing appeal of his message of "sound money and personal liberty." He did especially well, according to the exit polls, among voters anxious about the economy. WSJ Editorial Board member Brian Carney breaks down the results from the New Hampshire primary.

South's Economic Woes Test Campaign Messages
As the Republican presidential nomination race heads to the South, the candidates will get their first taste of battle in states mired in economic downturns. The next primary states, South Carolina and Florida, are struggling with housing busts and high unemployment. Times are tougher there than in Iowa and New Hampshire, which have much healthier economies. WSJ's Sara Murray talks about the challenge. Download MP3

This cleanser does a good job of removing most makeup and oil without stripping. It is gentle enough to use every day. I do not like the scent as it smells very strong.
I like this foaming cleanser, but given a choice of foaming cleansers, I prefer the L'Occitane Immortelle foaming cleanser.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine

I first tried this in the Aftican Red Tea Starter Kit and I'm on my third bottle. I do alternate tho with other cleansers. I really like this one because it makes my face feel squeaky clean when I need that type of clean feeling. I also like the pump bottle and it's reusable for any other type of liquid cleanser.
I do have dry skin, but I didn't find it that particularly drying. It does clean very well, including all types of makeup, which is a plus. I like the pump bottle that dispenses the cleanser into a foam. It lasts for quite awhile, too. I re-use the bottles and have put in other liquid cleanser from other brands and the pump will dispense the same type of foam. You just have to liquify the cleanser with some distilled water to get the right balance.
I find it's a good cleanser in the summertime, when the heat is high. Wintertime it might be too drying for some complexions.
African Red Tea has a nice fragrance to it, very light which I find appealing.
Ole Henriksen has a lot of products and I've tried many of them. In my experience, I find that if I alternate his products I have more success, rather than stay with just one. There are a lot of good ingredients in his line and he's cruelty-free, which are pluses for me. This is a cleanser for when I need a deep skin cleansing type cleanser because that's what this product makes my skin feel like after I wash my face. I always have a bottle on hand.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
Purchased the African Red Tea foaming cleanser as part of an Ole Henriksen 7-piece set. It was the first time I'd tried this skincare line and usually use Peter Thomas Roth products. The cleanser smells great and I love that it's a foam. The packaging is also good and has a clean, modern look.
Like other reviewers though I found it really drying and leaves my skin feeling similar to using drugstore bar soap. For this reason, I wouldn't repurchase. I'm going to stick with more creamy cleaners and oils.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
My first venture into Ole Henriksen. Since most of his products contain glycerin (which my normal/combination skin hates) this seemed like a good start. Lovely smell, practical packaging and great cleansing action! However, after a couple of months of testing this out I can´t say it has brought anything new to my table. Quite the contrary, actually. This leaves a clingy residue that has lead to break-outs, unless I remove it properly with my Sensai Sponge Chief (microfiber cloth). Furthermore, after a month of use I noticed my skin seemed tighter, more irritated and would crack in the dry areas. I discontinued use for 3 weeks and my skin improved. Back to my natural soap...
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have combination skin and most cleansers normally leave my skin flaky and dry. The African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser is gentle enough that my skin feels a lot less irritated than other products.
It smells amazing, I love the scent and the ease of use. One pump is good enough for my entire face.
I took off one lippie due to the packaging, I'm half way into it and having trouble with the mechanics of the pump.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
My one and only facial cleanser!!! I have bought it 3x so far.
Why I love it:
-It is a rich creamy foam that works well with or without a clarisonic brush.
-Does not leave my skin feeling dry or tight, even during the winter when my skin is quite drier.
- 1.5 - 2 pumps of product goes a long way at removing medium to heavy makeup looks.
-Less steps are needed to remove makeup.
Example: Minimal to No need for an eye makeup remover!! This product is gentle & effective at removing some of the toughest mascaras!! Also there is no need to tone skin after using this antioxidant enriched cleanser.
-Price is about $40 CND and product can last for up to 6 months using it about twice daily.
Age: Unknown
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium Brown, Neutral

Sooo drying! Holy hell this stuff will strip your skin of every oil in it! I've been using Peter Thomas Roth whenever my skin is less than clear, and I go between that and Cetaphil. I'm looking for a nice moisturizer to use when my skin is normal because the Cetaphil is almost too gentle after a long day. This cleanser smells nice, and is a very thin foam. My face was white (I'm medium-toned African American) and extremely tight after use. I had to use my thick night cream immediately after--it's the morning, FYI. It was similar to using an Irish Spring bar of soap on my face. Will chalk it up as an at-least-I-tried-it buy and throw away. I absolutely LOVE Ole's other products and will pay big bucks for them, but this was a dud for me.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
Great cleanser, a little goes a long way. I have combo/dry skin and this doesn't dry out my skin or have that tight feeling. It's very effective at removing all my makeup without cleansing twice. I do use this with my clarisonic and works wonderfully. The smell is amazing.. Kinda like oranges. I may or may not repurchase this product again, I like trying new cleansers
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm
Hair: Other, Relaxed, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This stuff is amazing! I've gone through a lot of cleansers, and for the most part, many are the same for me. But THIS... I went out to dinner tonight and when I came home, I grabbed this to wash my face. Not even a minute later, ALL of my makeup came off! No scrubbing, no irritation, no second wash. My skin felt clean afterwards, not tight, and even an hour later, it feels soft and smooth. WOW. I am absolutely a new fan and I will definitely get this again.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

Love love this
It is gentle and effective and reasonably priced. What more could I ask?

Meet the iPod's Intel
"It isn't a major surprise that the recent initial public offering filing of semiconductor company PortalPlayer got lost in the shuffle. [...]
But PortalPlayer, which filed for its IPO on Aug. 4, bears watching over the next few months. Here's why.
PortalPlayer gets most of its business from a Taiwanese company called Inventec. And Inventec is the company that makes this little device that you may have heard—it's called the iPod."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Determined mom merits admiration
You know them when you see them. The crime victims that hit the news cycle for 24 hours before disappearing into the Internet ether or to a single photo that will become their enduring image.
It's easy to lose faith in the goodness of humanity when you see inexplicable crimes up close.
Time after time, readers and viewers are shown victims who are clueless about police procedural process or the exhausting, laborious court system.
This is what families know in the immediate hours following a crime: Their loved one is gone or terribly hurt, they don't feel any control over what is happening and they're reeling.
Then there's the nightmare they don't know is coming next: the media coverage, the horrific details that emerge about the crime or about the victim's past and the shock that will affect them for months or years to come.
It is, simply, awful.
Which is what brings me to Emily Cablek and her missing kids, who were reunited in May after the children had been abducted four years ago and taken to Mexico.
Cablek and the children's father, Kevin Maryk, had been battling over the custody of son Dominic and daughter Abby.
When the kids were finally tracked down in Zapopan, Mexico, they were allegedly pulled out of a home surrounded by barbed wire and security cameras, with attack dogs, weapons and drugs inside.
Maryk and his friend, Robert Groen, were arrested and are back in Canada facing charges.
The story had so many made-for-TV angles, with Cablek saying she was the "happiest mummy in the world," thanks to her kids' return to Winnipeg.
What touched me about Emily Cablek wasn't the fairy-tale ending of her children's deliverance. It was her grit behind that.
I like Cablek because she didn't give up in the face of insurmountable odds, even when she felt beaten down.
I like her because she was an underdog who faced public scrutiny for the choices she made earlier in her life -- and chose to fight when few people were listening.
When Cablek launched a fund in 2011 to try to hire a private investigator or put up reward money, media coverage was not extensive.
I remember, while covering the story, I thought to myself she'd likely never see her kids again.
I was wrong. And that is fantastic.
How I wish so many other families who have no answers in their children's disappearance or death could be so rewarded. Like the unsolved case of 17-year-old Cherisse Houle, whose body turned up in 2009 in the RM of Rosser and whose photo sat on my desk for years. This year, Cherisse's brother, Jordan Houle, died after he was shot on Maryland Street.
How much pain can there be for one family that has already suffered so much,one wonders. How soon we forget.
Cablek's happy ending was a big story of 2012, when everybody wanted to claim a cuddly winner.
But what touched me was the woman who had marathoned to get to that place.
She's still fighting to get herself and her family on firm footing.

Biopsies of tumors are automatically taken and examined by pathologists to diagnose, treat and monitor cancers. But few laymen know that samples from oncology patients – taken with their permission – can benefit research by creating a biobank of cancerous tissue. A public tender that the Health Ministry issued recently chose Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Kerem neighborhood, Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Sheba Medical Center to collect and house such tissue samples. For the first time the institutions will share information, rather than each hospital keeping it for its own researchers.Dr. Karen Meir, head of the Hadassah branch of the tissue bank, told The Jerusalem Post that the hospital had been collecting samples in an informal way since 2008, but the idea of a cancer tissue data bank had never really gotten off the ground. Fortunately oncology researchers managed to persuade the ministry that the data was worth saving and studying, and to finance the NIS 36 million project."A lot of credit for initiating such tissue banking at the national level should go to Nobel Prize [in chemistry] Laureate in Prof. Aaron Ciechanover of Haifa's Technion-Israel Institute of Technology," she added.With every sample easily accessed and all running smoothly, said Meir, the process will become much more efficient and make it easier for researchers to do their work. Patients are clearly told that they personally are unlikely to benefit from the "donation," but that others eventually could, from improved understanding and eventual treatment. Very few refuse, she said.What the samples are used for depends on the type of research, she continued. "Highquality specimens can help find disease biomarkers or develop better tests or drugs.Such biobanks exist all over the world; European countries especially are investing a lot in them. Israel is almost two decades behind in this field."The location of the network's coordinating headquarters has not yet been announced, but the biobank in each of the four hospitals will need freezers, liquid nitrogen tanks and a pathology archives."Security is a big factor. The tissue will be under lock and key, as the donors do not want any personal information to leak out," Meir said, adding that "eventually, research into other diseases – genetic, degenerative or chronic, from autism to Parkinson's – could benefit. The list is endless."VIRTUALLY, WITHOUT LAXATIVE Computed tomographic colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, can be performed without laxatives and still be as accurate as conventional colonoscopy in detecting clinically significant, potentially cancerous polyps. That is the finding of a new study performed jointly in California and Massachusetts and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. This is good news for patients, radiologists and gastroenterologists alike."I think we have demonstrated that laxative-free CTC is a valid tool for detecting polyps that are clinically significant," said co-author and radiologist Dr. Judy Yee of San Francisco VA Medical Center.Virtual colonoscopy, which the American Cancer Society has approved as a valid screening test for colorectal cancer, uses a CT scanner to screen for cancers and polyps in the colon non-invasively. In standard optical colonoscopy (OC), a physician inserts a 2-meter-long scope into the entire colon. Currently both methods call for patients to take a bowel-cleansing laxative before the procedure.With laxative-free CTC, explained Yee, patients do not have to go through an enema before the exam, but instead begin a low-fiber diet two days before the test. They also ingest a tagging agent the day before the exam, which mixes with residual material in the colon and can then be identified and removed digitally when radiologists interpret the scans."The use of laxatives is often viewed as the worst aspect of having not only a virtual colonoscopy but an optical colonoscopy," said Yee, who has pioneered the use of virtual colonoscopy within the VA health care system and at UCSF. "I hope that this research will encourage patients who have delayed screening for colon cancer to be examined with this less invasive method."The study of 605 patients aged 50 to 85 assessed the accuracy of laxative-free CTC in detecting lesions 6 millimeters or larger in size compared with standard optical colonoscopy.The authors found that laxative-free CTC exams detected clinically significant polyps 10 mm. or larger with 91 percent accuracy compared to OC exams, which were 95% accurate.Scan sensitivity using laxative-free CT colonography decreases with polyp size, as it does for regular CT colonography, she said. With polyps measuring 6 mm., sensitivity for CTC was 59%, compared with standard colonoscopy at 76%.The smaller the polyp, the less likely it is to harbor malignancy. For diminutive polyps 5 mm.or less, there is an extremely low risk of cancer, and these polyps may not need to be removed, she said."Polyps 10 millimeters or larger unquestionably come out," she added.During the study, three of the 605 subjects were found to have cancerous polyps. The cancers were identified by both the laxative-free virtual colonoscopy and the standard OC exam. The researchers also found that patients much preferred the laxative-free virtual colonoscopy technique.Yee noted that her study was one of the first and largest to measure the effectiveness of the new procedure, although additional studies still need to be conducted. She predicts that once radiologists are trained in reading the new images and gain experience with the technique, laxative-free CTC exams will be available wherever virtual colonoscopies are performed.

Welcome Spring!
The energy of Spring is vibrant, fresh, alive and full of promise of a future yet revealed. March 21st is the Spring Equinox when there is an equal amount of light and darkness in our day and it marks the start of a new cycle of life in Nature. The Chinese New Year falls right before the beginning of spring, all the plans we made and formulated in the restful and restorative winter can now be put into action- as we burst forward into the new energies of spring. These natural energies fully support and push us forward to make those positive changes in our lives. All the "seeds" we plant now will bear fruit and their full expression in the summer. So goes the cycle of the seasons. This is also the optimum time of year to do a "Spring Cleaning" in all areas of your life. Internally and externally. Release all things that are no longer serving your life/health in a positive way.
It's time to get your Seasonal Acupuncture treatment to assist your physical body in making the transition from Winter to Spring. At the turn of the season is when our immune system is often tested- and it is not uncommon to see an increase in allergies and colds during these times of year. Seasonal Acupuncture is a wonderful and effective way to boost your immune system and ease the shift between seasons. Spring Seasonal and the Healing Light Event falls on Saturday March 21st from 9am-6pm – featuring a variety of Spiritual readers and wonderful new items in our gift store that day! Join us for a weekend of healthy fun!
Book your appointments Today!
AND….Don't forget to "Spring Forward" on Sunday March 8th- and set your clocks ahead one hour!
What's Coming Up in April…
Energy Immersion with Ann Mukherjee & Sons, In this introductory session we will do grounding and cleansing visualization followed by silent meditation in the energy field initiated by Ann, John and Shaun, elevated by participants, and accelerated by the ascended master, archangels, angels, guides, and other healing entities who are invited to participate.
Channeled Spiritual Readings with Tysa Goodrich, Tysa brings several elements to her readings. She is an intuitive, emotionally empathic, and a medium. She channels information from your spirit guides to assist you along your life path.
Remembrance Bottle Class with Ann Mukherjee, In this class we will be filling and decorating small glass bottles in commemoration of a special person, place, event, or time period of our lives. We will take a trip inside to re-visit our special person or time. We will use memories and insights gained as well as small crystals, decorations, and other substances to represent them. I will have many substances available. Feel free to bring any tiny objects, charms, flower petals, leaves or other dried organic substances to place inside your bottle. You may choose to make a small free-standing bottle or a tiny wearable bottle. If time permits we may make one of each. I hope you can join me on this journey!
And much, much more…
Have a beautiful month!
