Christmas Budgets
I was just curious of how much you budget for your kids chistmas gifts. I'm torn betweeen spoiling them too much and the feeling that Christmas comes once a year, why not spoil them a little (within reason). I don't want to start the whole conversation that Christmas is not about the presents; I know that. We donate gifts to children who don't have and to the food pantries, my daughter is in Browniesd so she does Christmas caroling and all that, so I do instill giving also. But the fact is I love watching them open their presents and I love to give to them. But how much is too much? Just curious of your thoughts. Thanks, and hope you all have a very blessed Christmas!!

Hi M.
I generally spend around $300. My son doesn't believe anymore so he gives me a list knowing that he isn't going to get it all.
Happy holidays

Depends on what they need... we try to keep the focus on something special and a few things to open that my son needs, like new jammies and crayons. We are also trying to remind our families of the same notion. My husband and I trying to help our son understand what Christmas is really all about (including the joy of giving). He's little, but attends church with us each week, helped light the advent candles and loves the Nativity set in the living room. It is so easy to give and watch their little faces light-up, but at the same time it sets a precedent that you may not be able to maintain for a long period of time.
We have spent about $150 on my son and have allocated $20-25 each for the other children in the family. I typically do a book and a gift card to either Target or Toys R Us that way they can "capitalize" on the post-Christmas sales. As adults, we draw names with a $75 limit to keep costs reasonable.
If there is something that your 8 year old really really wants and has been talking about for a long period of time, go for it! Otherwise, I wouldn't suggest buying "stuff" for the sake of buying. Depending on your budget situation, with three children you should really keep it under $500 and remember to SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS! Just because you think it's the most awesome toy doesn't mean that they will love it and stores are really strict right now on return policies!
M.T. answers from New York on November 29, 2009
Hi M.,
My kids are 10 and 14 now. It seems like every year, I tell myself "less is more" and vow not to buy so many gifts, and then somehow, I "forget." Ooops. Here is the thing ... are they using everything that you buy them? If they have so much that they can't figurer out what to play with or you are now looking at boxes of games, craft sets, science sets, etc that were given last year and never played with, then yes, you are giving too much. I try now to focus on things that they would really like. I also tend to buy more because my kids' birthdays are both in late June, so the twice yearly giftings are pretty far apart, and I really don't buy my kids "no occasion" gifts. We don't have "I want ..." and I buy it, so Christmas is when they tend to get those things.
I think it's great for kids to enjoy both receiving and giving. I enjoy both myself!

When the sensational six were little ranging in ages from 10 to 2 and even now the budget for them is $75.00 each. I also have a Christmas eve tradition of giving everyone in the house new pajamas and slippers. This way the Christmas day pictures are even more beautiful. Hope this helps. I also start shopping in September right after school begins. Usually by the weekend after Thanksgiving I am finished with all my shopping. K.

THANK YOU M.! IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW GENERATIONS AGO SINCE I HEARD A MOTHER SAY, 'I LOVE WATCHING THEM OPEN THEIR PRESENTS...' I'D LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THE WHAT IF'S? IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN THAT CHRISTMAS INCLUDES EXCHANGING GIFTS AND MONEY TO PURCHASE THEM, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DAY COMES AND THERE'S NO MONEY OR GIFTS? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THEY ARE LOVED ANY LESS? YOU ASKED HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND? MY ANSWER IS TO SPEND QUALITY TIME ENJOYING LIFE'S SIMPLEST PLEASURES LIKE BEING TOGETHER, TALKING ABOUT REAL ISSUES, MAKING EACH OTHER LAUGH, SHOWING EACH OTHER HOW MUCH WE CARE. THEN, EXTENDING THIS SPIRIT WITH OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE WHO DON'T HAVE $$$, NO FAMILY/FRIENDS AND APPRECIATING WHAT WE DO HAVE. PERHAPS, INSTEAD OF STORING THE OLD CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM LAST YEAR AWAY--ANTICIPATING THE NEW ONES, WE COULD SPEND A DAY GIVING ALL OF OUR EXCESS AWAY TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW. WATCH THE FACE OF SOMEONE WITH NO GIFT ON CHRISTMAS RECEIVING THE OLD AND STORED AWAY ONES (-: THIS INCLUDES ALL OF MY CLUTTER AND EXCESS TOO o-; IN ESSENCE, 'KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES' AND OUT-DOING EACH OTHERS GIFTS WITH LABELS AND PRICE TAGS DON'T EQUIP OUR CHILDREN WITH THE REALITY THAT WHEN THE CHIPS ARE LOW AND THE PRICES SKY-HIGH, THAT NONE CAN REPLACE US OR MEASURE UP TO OUR SPIRIT PRICELESS INSIDE?
B.A. answers from New York on November 29, 2009
I think you personally need to do what is in your budget..I usually say $200 per child, I have 3..and that never happens. If it makes you happy to watch them open presents then go for it. I always get a tear when I hear them scream, "This is just what I wanted".
And I agree with you 100%. I donate toys and clothes all year long to local charities. As well as donate, to St. Jude, Sloan-Kettering, Disabled Veterans, give weekly Church envelopes, the Penny Drive at School, and constantly donate food and supplies to the Soldiers. I laughed when you said please let's not turn it into about giving and donating, and as usual there is always one that has to be preachy!
Christmas comes once a year and they are getting bigger and soon won't even want to wake up on Christmas morning or just want $$, so enjoy it and spend what you want! And not to sound nasty but all the ones that say giving are the ones that don't have it and are jealous. If you're a good person, then do what makes you and your family happy and forget everyone else! Merry Christmas!
K.G. answers from Jamestown on November 30, 2009
We spend less than $100 on each child...for one, we can't afford more than that...and this year we won't be able to afford even that. Second, we don't believe that Christmas should be all about how many gifts you can get...it's about quality time with family.
I have never spoiled my kids at birthdays or Christmas, mainly because we could never afford to. They get some nice presents, but we don't go over board, and our kids don't expect it from us.
However, when we can afford something a little more expensive, they truly appreciate it and know how much we sacrificed to get it for them....
It's nice to know that when the funds aren't there, they aren't expecting to get a ton of stuff, but that they appreciate it so much more when we can get them more.
T.Q. answers from Albany on November 29, 2009
Hi There,
I feel the same way you do about giving to the kids... Christmas and Birthdays are the few times of year where I really give the kids toys that I really think they want. When it comes to gifts now, I go by what I think they will really enjoy and use, rather than the price (within reason of course). We usually get each child a "big gift" and several smaller gifts. Ie. last year we got my daughter a pretty nice play kitchen and my son a wagon (my son was 10 mos and my daughter was 3)... they still use those items ALL the time... so, go by what they will enjoy and you will enjoy giving... don't go by cost (just don't get them more than you can afford, or more than they will appreciate). Merry Christmas!!

We rented both cottages this summer and found this one to be perfect for the single siblings. The rooms were small, but perfect for just 1 person w/o kids. We did all our cooking in the larger cottage, but we know the that kitchen was stocked for basic cooking and there was a great bonfire pit outside. The sandy beach was great for the kids and the boat launch was pretty quiet all week (that was a little concern at first). Thanks again for a great stay!
I give it 10+ stars!
Talk about Heaven on earth! My family has been renting vacation homes for about 20 years and we've never had such a perfect experience as with this house. The owner is the most pleasant, ethical owner we've ever dealth with!

Perhaps it is because news is reported so quickly and pervasively that there is a sense that aberrant weather is becoming the norm. We learn of every drought, flood, hurricane or tidal wave nearly as it happens. Those events along with the accompanying human tragedy have become staples of the evening news.
That abundance of information, buttressed by scientific inquiry is changing public opinion. Even the most ardent of environmental naysayers are conceding something seems to be happening to the world's climate.
A warming of the planet by even a degree over a century, they say, can have a significant effect.
That was the message of Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". The film chronicled the toll of climate change on the world. The awareness it raised helped gain a Nobel Peace Prize for the former Vice-President and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The accrued effect of increasing amounts of Green house gases, principally Carbon Dioxide, in the atmosphere helps warm the planet.
Generally, the impact is felt the most at the edges. Polar ice is melting at a far faster rate, raising ocean levels and altering weather patterns. High altitude glaciers and mountain snowpack are eroding. Low lying coastal regions are inundated as deserts have become drier.
For those places on the Earth that experience seasonal storms, climate change could make those storms more severe and more frequent. The odds of Katrina – caliber hurricanes, say some scientists, are greater.
As for inland Iowa, the expectations are for the state to experience the same sort of weather associated with it historically – only more so.
In fact Iowa may be situated the best amid some daunting global circumstances. Other regions of the country seem likely to suffer more from the impact of climate change.
Generally, it is expected the weather will be warmer and wetter. While precipitation will be greater it is more likely to fall in torrents, which means run-off will also be greater and less controllable and less beneficial.
Much of Iowa was once a wetland. Its marshes filtered nutrients and held them in the soil. But, the wetlands were tiled and drained to capture the farm land that yields today's bounty.
If the rain comes as a deluge, the run-off will provide minimal benefit to crops. The plumbing intended to drain fields will divert the water into streams, testing levees and overtaxing municipal water systems, and it will carry the beneficial nutrients to places where they will lessen water quality and threaten fisheries.
Indeed, an analysis appearing this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that changes in the oceans and drought around the world are impeding the planet's ability to absorb carbon.
The Scientists also report emissions of carbon dioxide have soared well beyond the worst case projections of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

We have noticed that even with the same amount and type of fertilizers, the production for the same number of plants is higher on some soil types than others. We are considering soil testing and hence advice on the way forward. In this regard we would like to know the following: 1. Does KARI carry out soil testing? 2. If yes to (1),where and at what cost? 3. Where would we get guidance on collection of samples.4.Should we submit samples from the two regions for comparison or just one sample from the poorer performing area would suffice? Thanks in advance Our KARI-Land Resources and Analytical Services at KARI-Kabete's National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) can conduct soil testing for fertility purposes. NARL is located off Waiyaki Way next to Nairobi school in Nairobi. In order to obtain appropriate fertilizer recommendations, it is advisable to submit samples from two regions of your farm.

Was sent outside without any nursing assistance because of lack of beds & was told by 1 male nurse after the mother complained! That's life. obviously this nurse has lost their empathy & compassion for their job & fellow mankind. Something has to be done about the state of this hospital.

There are elderly residents, pregnant women & so many sick & injured who need it up & running just as well as Sydney hospitals are. 7 is supose to be a lucky number, so let 2007 be Wyong's lucky year!

RPOF Says Alex Sink is Basically Florida's Fidel Castro
Categories: Politicks
Well, the Republican Party of Florida took time out of their busy schedule of basically giving everybody American Express cards to send out a press release that argued Florida CFO and Democratic governor hopeful Alex Sink is basically Fidel Castro.
See, Sink also approved of the health care reform bill. Though if you recall, her statement on the bill's passage wasn't exactly as exuberant as Castro's.
Regardless, the RPOF put out a press release entitled "Alex Sink's Florida and Fidel Castro's Cuba."
"Alex Sink supports the same tax increases, individual mandates, and infringement of state sovereignty endorsed by the most famous communist dictator in the world," said RPOF Executive Director Ronnie Whitaker. "It was troubling when Alex Sink went months without taking a stand on government-run health care and now that she has taken the same stand as Fidel Castro, you have to question her judgment. Of course Castro supports a plan that massively expands the role of the government, but why does Alex Sink?"
Not only is it a slap in the face to the many, many Cuban American who escaped Castro's Cuba and actually do support Obama's health care reforms, it's just plain stupid logic.
Besides, Cuba's health care system has very, very little in common with the insurance reform plan that the Democrats passed.

Cheers Lenny, Shall get to it.
One problem I have realised since having the car is that my bonnet isn't flush with the car.. It tends to stick up slightly near the grill at one side.
Any ideas as to what this problem could be?
I have looked at it and can't see anything.

Strange one there mate,
Is it a gradual lift across the bonnet
Is the bonnet flush all the way across then bent upwards,
If you get the time, perhaps take some bonnet level pictures and upload,
I.e. kneel down and take pictures of the level view across the front end and from the sides.
May have been some minor front end damage or a buckled bonnet hinge causing that side to rise a bit.

It's flush at one side and over past the badge then it seems to raised but I can't see any damage. Just won't click down or however it should.
Shall nip out later if there is somewhere well lit that I can get a good picture.

I cannot believe we are already one week into the final stretch of this adventure! It is shocking to me that it has gone by so fast. It makes me sad, because I know it will not slow down even after the baby is here with us. Barring any upcoming problems, I can see myself being one of those women who rave about being pregnant and has not one negative thing to say about it! So far - it is the best experience of my life. I love every thump and bump I get to feel, every heartbeat we get to hear, and every Dr. appointment we get to attend!
At our last visit (Friday 3/9), Dr. Heniser said he plans to order an additional ultrasound to be sure that the baby is appropriate size and growing without issue -- he feels everything is fine, however, with my history of Gastric Bypass he just wants to be sure everything is on track. You will not hear any complaints from me! An additional opportunity to see our little peanut is a blessing any way you look at it! He also said he is going to start monitoring my sugar at each visit as I am not able to complete the Glucose Test for Gestational Diabetes due to my sugar intolerance. Again, he feels everything is fine, however, he wants to stay on top of it just to be sure! Have I mentioned I love my Dr?? He's amazing and I appreciate his attention to detail and commitment to healthy babies and mommies! For all you wives' tales believers - the baby's heart rate was 148 this visit (but I could feel him/her moving like crazy, which can increase the heart rate by up to 20 points). My BP was 118/68 and I finally showed some swelling in my legs and ankles. I made it through the first 27 weeks without any so I guess I should consider myself lucky. I guess that also means less running around at work and more feet up!
The most exciting development in our pregnancy occurred on 3/8/12. The baby was particularly active in the morning when I first woke up and Jason was finally able to feel the kicks! I can now tell the difference between feet and hands/elbows. And, it's really fun to have someone else be able to share in the fun! We have ordered our crib and combo unit because they take 8-12 weeks to come in. We have the money to pay off the crib -- compliments of Grammie Dow and Grammie Brady - and we are hopeful we will win the lottery so we can pay off the bureau! We actually went to Hollywood Slots for the first time on Friday and our $10 we took in lasted us two full hours... because we are cheap. At one point we were up a whole $5 - a 50% gain - but we gambled it away.... Guess we will need another avenue for making our millions. Until next time!

The time is certainly flying by.......too fast for you, too slow for others. While Grampa Dow and I can't wait for your journey to end....I completely understand the sadness you feel about each step that passes by. Being pregnant was also the greatest experience of my life, and like me, I'm sure you will remember, and relive, the joys over and over. There is nothing like knowing there's a little life growing inside you. ..........there's also nothing like knowing exactly where the little devil is and what he/she is doing (sort of). Enjoy every minute. We love you lots.

Surprising Result in Browser Speed Experiment
Msg#: 4483274 posted
7:15 pm on Aug 9, 2012
(gmt 0)
I thought I would share this little experiment with the WW community.
I have been a loyal Firefox user for many years. Recently, the work I am doing on upgrading to a new version of my CMS has led me to question my loyalty. The issue is speed. Specifically the length of time it takes to save an item was frustrating me. I am on a dedicated server that is fairly quick and so is my network speed, so I had to look at whether there was something going on with the browser. So I conducted an experiment. Now this is highly unscientific, but results may still raise some eyebrows.
The experiment involved simply measuring the time it takes to save an opened item (in this case a menu module). No new data was entered. The item was simply opened from the module main page and then a button was clicked that saved and closed the item. A timer button (on a smartphone) was pushed to start when the Save & Close button was clicked and was pushed to stop when the module main screen reappeared. This was done 5 times for three different browsers: Firefox (14), Chrome (21) and Internet Explorer (9). Additionally, the tests were alternated for each round so that each browser would be tested in each round before moving to the next round.
Results were measured in seconds and here are the averages:
Firefox 13.8 sec.
Chrome 7.3 sec.
IE 12.3 sec.
The results were very surprising to me. And because I have many items to change, the potential time I may be able to save could prove significant.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar results.

Possibly slowed by too many or wrong type of add-ons? That is a known feature of FF.
Also, if something like (eg) "check URL for virus" is enabled in FF then that could be very time-consuming.

I've never done any tests, but I stopped using FF a while back bc it was too slow, kept eating up RAM and crashing.

Add-ons are a big cause of slowdowns / memory hogging with Firefox.
Mine is loaded with ad blockers, noscript, ghostery, https-everywher, cookie privacy etc. But in this instance I would go 100% over Chrome even if it meant production was 50% slower.
Don't forget that you can optimize Firefox for better performance. Look at add-ons fasterfox / fasterfox lite.
Oh. And I doubt Chrome would allow add-ons such as OptimzeGoogle? :-)
I like the way FF 15 (I think this is the version that started it) allows you to enable / disable add-ons on the fly without restarting. This is essential if you want to check your adsense reports.

Just for fun, I disabled all FF add-ons and restarted the computer. Ran the test again 5 times for FF and Chrome with similar results:
Firefox 13.6 sec.
Chrome 7.3 sec.

How about uninstalling them rather than disabling?
And then trying with Fasterfox / Fasterfox Lite? (although that is more of a network optimiser)

A stopwatch (or smartphone equivalent) is a poor measuring device. Both Firefox (with Firebug add-on) and Chrome (built-in Developer Tools) allow you to see what resources are loaded, and how long this takes. Compare those results, as well as the headers sent and received, and you might find the culprit.
If I recall collectly, Chrome is slightly better than Firefox in terms of Javascript performance. If your CMS is script-heavy, that might explain the difference.
It does not have to be a rendering issue, though. It could be that your CMS treats browsers differently.

You may have something here. I checked and there seems to be an issue with how FF is handling the javascript. However, I would argue that Chrome is not "slightly" better. At half the speed it is significantly better considering how many updates I need to make and how much time it will be saving.

yes, but still significant, i much doubt he was 5 seconds off que.
It depends what you are doing with these browsers. Each of them has something that performs better than the others. and they all are getting better - some more than others.
I currently prefer chrome (on pc) and think its generally the fastest. The mac may not be as good. But sometimes I switch to ff and do find somethings are plainly faster. I think IE developers would be embarrassed to see the fanfare that microsoft makes of IEs performance.

I take browser benchmarks with a grain of salt these days. I use Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE. I've seen all of them beat the others depending on what's being loaded. The most important measurement of speed I have as a web admin is that they all load quickly on
sites. If any of them do not, I track the reason why (even IE has build-in developer tools) and try to address it.
What I use elsewhere is most often Opera, for usability reasons.

I have one computer where Firefox is so slow, I have to use Chrome unless it ends up too slow and I have to use IE or Opera. I have another where Chrome seems slightly slower than Firefox, but in general, all the browsers are about the same.
In other words, I think there are a lot of factors that affect this and it's hard to pin it on any one thing (unless you find an offending plugin or something).

Load and render time of a single page isn't the real metric of speed. I think you have to factor in the entire surfing experience.
If you know how to use Opera well, I believe it is significantly faster than any browser mentioned in this thread.
Some things I do:
- Rarely open a page with a single 'click'. When using Google, just SHIFT-Ctrl-Click rapid fire all the results into new background tabs. Read the first one while the rest are loading.
- Use the 'single key' inputs. (z=back, x=forward).
- Use mouse gestures. Navigation doesn't require keyboard 90% of time.
- Use bookmark branches and open 20-100 tabs with one click. This is great for your "morning runs". Never forget to check a site again!
- Privacy-Security: turn on/off referral strings/cookies/plugins by pressing f12.
- Bandwidth stealing ads: turn off ad loads by right clicking on them.

I've been defaulting to Opera more and more these days because, strangely, it seems to be the most stable for me these days. I say strangely because of course most sites don't even test for Opera, but I often have trouble with Google properties in both Firefox and Chrome. On my old, slow desktop Opera and IE are way faster than FF and Chrome. I expect that's because of some sort of conflict or problem with the JS engine who knows, but even with all the plugins off, Firefox bogs down all the time (on the laptop, all browsers are fast and stable) and Chrome tends to be unusable even on Google properties.
I haven't quite gone to OPera as my default browser, but I do think the clunky feel I used to dislike has given way to a far less clunky feel than Firefox, currently the clunkiest feeling browser on the market.
Firefox is a great tool, though - Firebug is still awesome, HTTP Live Headers, Tamper Data, Web Developer are all handy.

Ernest G. Gabbard, J.D., C.P.M., CPCM, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, 412-394-2968
Does the new electronic B2B commerce environment change the method of conducting procurement/supply chain management (PSM)? ABSOLUTELY! Does it eliminate the need for procurement/supply chain professionals? Absolutely NOT! However, there can be little doubt that the role which we play in this environment is changing dramatically. Therefore, we must be prepared to adapt to these changes, or become obsolete.
This article will provide insight into the roles that the procurement/supply management (PSM) professionals will play in the "new economy". We will first discuss the elements of this electronic environment, define the various roles which we must be prepared to assume in that environment, and detail the skills needed to assume these divergent roles. Such roles will include contract negotiator and manager, process reengineer, commodity or service aggregator, etc. These roles will NOT include our traditional roles of order placement and expediting.
The new e-procurement tools are undeniably revolutionizing the transactional aspects of supply chain management, and allow corporations to optimize the strategic capabilities of our supply chain. However, it should be recognized that certain essential elements of traditional commerce will still be required to ensure the efficacy of these electronic transactions. For example, the need for purchase orders issued by a purchasing department may be unnecessary as we "empower" end-users to obtain needed supplies or services directly through electronic links with suppliers. However, there will be a need for someone (Procurement?) to establish the prices and terms under which the user will obtain these supplies/services. In this respect, our role will be to pre-establish contracts with selected suppliers to facilitate the electronic transactions which ultimately occur between the end-user and the supplier. A graphic depiction of this new transaction process is provided as Attachment I. This is similar to the process that was often utilized to accommodate the use of procurement cards. The substantive difference will be that contracts for these electronic transactions will require some detailed terms & conditions, including specific T & C to address the uniqueness of the electronic environment in which we will be operating. We will address this aspect in more detail later.
As another example, much of the attraction of e-commerce is relative to the opportunity for corporations to leverage their procurement volume with selected suppliers. For this to be accomplished, someone in the corporation must negotiate aggregated prices with preferred suppliers, and establish the electronic mechanisms (controls) with which the corporation can ensure the end-user orders from selected suppliers at the contracted prices. Is this not a role that the PSM professional is equipped and experienced to perform? It certainly should be!
In order to perform the aforementioned functions (roles), our profession will need to become more conversant and competent in establishing and managing comprehensive contracts with suppliers. These contracts will be much more complex than the relatively simple purchase orders (P.O.) or B.P.A., which have traditionally been utilized. Administration or management of these contracts will require more than the traditional "expediting" function, which has been performed in the past. The requisite contract negotiation, administration, and management skills are ones which we will have to obtain and refine, if we are to fill the void which will be created as our companies push to optimize the leverage available in this e-procurement (ePSM)environment.
Since the PSM professional will necessarily become a contract manager, he/she must establish or enhance certain skills. This contract management role will require the following specific skills. We will elaborate on this outline during our workshop.
As may be concluded, the contracting process needed to support the e-procurement (ePSM) environment is an ACTIVE process, not a passive one.
What is our role in their environment? Let me propose that procurement / supply chain management professionals will need to be BOLD (entrepreneurial), and most importantly FLEXIBLE. This environment is so dynamic that our roles may change on a frequent basis. It will be up to us to change as rapidly as our environment.

Great scrub. Exfoliates well and leaves skin so soft and smooth. The granules are bigger than I would prefer so should be careful not to scrub/rub too hard. This should be kept in a dry place because it can develop mold around and in the jar. Reasonably priced. Definite repurchase.
Decided to try this for my very dry winter skin recently. Worked great as an exfoliator and moisturized wonderfully. It also smells "like dessert" according to my husband. He walked into the room to smell my arm about every 5 minutes the first time I tried it. I am sold and will continue to buy. Saves me a step, too, as I don't need lotion after this, even in dry climates. It was a bit "expensive" for my cheap tastes hehe, but at 11-13$, I think it will last me about a month.

I absolutely love this scrub. it smells good, exfoliated well, and is not too harsh on sensitive skin. Sometimes I prefer sugar over salt scrubs because it is a little more gentle. Before this i used BBW's true blue spa need a margarita scrub which was no where near as good as this one and a lot more expensive. Overall a great product at a very reasonable price and I like the fact that the Alba line is natural and mostly organic too!

nothing special. yes it smells great, but it isnt as SCRUBBY as i'd like, and though mine didnt rot like another reviewer's, the sides of the lid, inside, got disgusting and mouldy and scummy in the shower. it also leaves an oily film on skin (negates the need for moisturizer which is a plus). it seems to be discountinued.
More reviews by ForgetfulDebbie
This is just about the only retail scrub I've come across that is reasonably priced and a joy to use. I love the fact that it exfoliates two ways - physically and with enzymes (from extracts). AND, the fragrance is just scrumptious. It seems to be getting more and more difficult to find, though. PLEEZ Alba, do NOT discontinue this gem of a scrub...
i love this scrub! its not too oily- you wont find a layer or oil sitting on top, its gentle to use everyday, its mainly organic- 94%, and it smells great- like sugar cane and honey. i got mine for 12 usd at an organic food store and it comes in a large 10 oz tub.
ingredients- sunflower oil, organic sugar cane juice, silica, kukui nut and macadamia nut oils, honey, vit. e, and botanical fragrance

This scrub is different than most of the scrubs that I get from my favorite etailers, but I really do love it. I think what makes it especially good is that it's not just a scrub that exfoliates physically - like with sugar or salt, although it is scrubby - but it also uses sugar cane extract, which I think is an aha. I really like the way it smells too.
I'm a little worried though. I always picked it up at Safeway and/or Whole Foods and I'm having a heck of a time finding it now. I REALLY hope they aren't discontinuing it!
I really love this stuff. The smell is fantastic and I really do like what it does for my skin. I see that some of the reviewers complained that it wasn't "scrubby" enough. Keep in mind that this isn't principally a physical exfoliator. It is the sugar cane extract that does alot of the work and the effect tends to be cumulative. During the summer, I found myself reaching for this every day and really loving it. It's also very moderately priced, which is a big plus.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I guess I shouldn't expect tons of exfoliation since it's a body polish, not a scrub, but I don't think it did anything to polish my skin. I wanted to use it to buff up my legs but I don't think it did anything. As for the smell, it's nice and the oily residue didn't bother me either. I just wish the sugar didn't dissolve so quickly and scrubbed more.

Friendship defeats bullying.
Shuford Elementary School students learned that message all week during programs, contests and lessons that taught them no one has to be a victim of bullies.
"We learned how to help your friends when there are bullies," said fifth-grader Tamiya Artis. "If you do something good, you get something in return — friends."
Daily themes shaped the week's activities. Students wore hats Tuesday to "put a lid on bullying." On another day, students wore tie-dyed shirts and some read quotes about peace on the school's intercom.

With even the illusion of a peace process now dead, experts' predictions of what will fill the vacuum range from a new intifada to continued peace and prosperity for Israel.
Israel is, in other words, now on untested ground, and what the future holds is anyone's guess.
Still, some of those guessing about the new situation are known for thinking about Israel's future deeply and seriously.
And among those trying to peer around the corner, few see the situation in more bleak terms than the Knesset faction chairman of Israel's second-largest party.
"Our sliding down the slippery slope of international illegitimacy will be faster and will become a real danger to our economy, science and culture," Ofer Shelah of the Yesh Atid party told the Forward. The developments to come, he predicted, would affect "every facet of Israeli life."
Speaking April 21, two days before Israel actually suspended negotiations, Shelah said that the collapse of talks would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority that currently governs most Palestinian residents in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"Once there's no process and the situation on the ground deteriorates, the money will not be there, the authority to govern will not be there — it will crumble and crumble fast," he said. That, in turn, "will bring us back to being actual day-to-day rulers of close to 2 million Palestinians, which is harmful to everything — to our economy, to our consciousness, to our morality, to everything."
Moshe Maoz, a well-known Hebrew University Middle East scholar, broadly agreed, terming the outlook "very grim." "In a worst-case scenario, there could be a third intifada," he said. And if there is one, he added, "it could be the end of the Palestinian Authority."
The breakdown in the peace process "is going to influence international organizations and bankers, et cetera," Maoz said. "There were expectations, and they will blame Israel for a collapse."

There's pretty much an app for everything these days. EVERYTHING.
Dating and sex apps, in particular, have been all the rage recently on Android and iOS smartphones.. With Tinder spreading across London like wildfire and the Pure sex app attracting critics, we take a look at some of the most popular sex and dating apps available for your mobile.
Say Something, currently heading for Indiegogo success, is an app that 'wants to inject fun into online dating' by letting users practice their small talk on other users before they actually go on real dates. Apparently, it's because it doesn't matter if you mess up on the app because it's not the real deal, and if you're faced with a barrage of embarrassing replies like LOL or EWW then I guess it's helpful as you'll avoid the lines that enticed them when it comes to the actual date.
So what is this? An actual dating app? A game? London-based founder and CEO Marian Gazdik says: "Our objective is to help people improve using our app and THEN go and meet people, using Match, eHarmony, Zoosk or whatever," he stresses.
