Dec 31
Does wine taste better when you're listening to classical music? A study by a Scottish scientist argued that it does. We decided to put this theory to the test in a special broadcast, a Performance Today music listening and wine tasting party. Jason Kallsen, founder and owner of Twin Cities Wine Education, provided some wine recommendations to accompany our playlist.
Dec 30
The lush sound of the Philadelphia Orchestra is an ideal fit for Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. We'll go to the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia to hear Christoph Eschenbach conduct the final three movements of this emotionally turbulent masterpiece.
Dec 29
Was he the most talented unknown composer of the 20th century? Some called him the "Canadian Mozart." Andre Mathieu was an astonishing prodigy as a composer and pianist. He played his own compositions at Carnegie Hall when he was 11, he beat the young Leonard Bernstein in a composition competition when he was 13. But he was also deeply troubled. He withdrew from public life before his 20s, and died, already forgotten, at age 39 in 1968. We'll hear the Tucson Symphony in concert, playing a set of Ballet Scenes by Andre Mathieu.
Dec 28
Most classical music concerts take place inside the concert hall, essentially a glorified box. Many of those boxes are rightly revered and cherished for their history, architecture, and acoustics. But today, we'll go outside the box. The first hour of today's show features performances from unusual locations, including a barge, a night club, and a former power plant.
Dec 26
An hour of folk-flavored fare reaches a climax with a fiery performance of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. At a concert at Budapest's Palace of Arts, Pieter Wispelwey performs one of the great works for his instrument, in the company of conductor Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
Dec 25
To this day in Italy, shepherds come down from the hills at Christmas time and play their bagpipes in front of nativity scenes, reenacting the devotion of the shepherds at the birth of Christ. We'll hear a tribute to that ancient custom in Arcangelo Corelli's Christmas Concerto, performed in a place that rarely sees shepherds, New York City. Plus, we'll visit Christmas celebrations around the country and around the world, to hear great holiday performances.
Dec 24
Music for Christmas Eve, from concerts across the country and around the world. Including what may be the most beautiful Christmas song of the 20th century, the Ave Maria, by Franz Biebl. The men of Chanticleer are in concert at Stanford University, in Palo Alto. Also, two contemplative settings of the ancient Latin text "O Magnum Mysterium." One from 1572 by Tomas Luis de Victoria, another from 1994 by American composer Morton Lauridsen. And...a choral curiosity. The Tokyo FM Boys Choir sings "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" in Japanese.
Dec 23
Today, the four women of Anonymous 4 join Fred Child for music and conversation. They tell the Christmas story of the Cherry Tree, a bit of a marital tiff between Joseph and Mary. They'll also sing selected English and American carols. Also in the show, Bruce Adolphe with the Piano Puzzler, and the hauntingly beautiful "Pastorales de Noel," by Andre Jolivet.
Dec 22
On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1914, German and British soldiers in Belgium had their own informal cease-fire, sang Christmas songs together, and even traded gifts. We'll remember the remarkable Christmas Truce of 1914, as the male vocal ensemble "Cantus" sings highlights from their show "All is Calm."
Dec 21
For many people, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a performance of Handel's "Messiah." We'll bring you one of the best, a recent concert by Boston's Handel and Haydn Society Chorus and Orchestra, with Harry Christophers conducting. Handel's "Messiah" has been a hit ever since it premiered in Dublin in 1742. So much so that, in early performances, ladies were asked not to wear hoop skirts and men were advised to leave their swords at home, in order to accommodate more concertgoers in the hall.
Dec 19
"Time for another Piano Puzzler!" Every Wednesday, composer Bruce Adolphe tickles the PT ivories with one of his keyboard conundrums. Bruce re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. One of our listeners calls in and tries to guess the tune, and the composer whose style Bruce is imitating.
Dec 18
There's some debate about whether to clap between movements or not. But everyone agrees you should applaud at the end of a piece of music. Trouble is, how do you know when it's over? Haydn put several false endings into his Symphony Number 90, just to fool us. We'll hear a London audience fall for the joke in a performance by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Dec 17
Several musical highlights today, among them: an elegant performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 2 from the 2009 Aspen Music Festival. Gil Shaham solos, David Zinman conducts the Aspen Festival Orchestra. An athletic performance of Three Movements from Petrushka, the finger-twister for pianists by Igor Stravinsky. Alexei Volodin in concert at the Ernen Festival in Switzerland. And the Georgia Guitar Quartet plays their version of Vince Guaraldi's Christmas classic, "Linus and Lucy," in concert in their hometown of Athens, Georgia. Fred also throws in a quick examination of the bizarre "Jews Harp" concertos, by Johann Albrechtsberger.
Dec 16

Bruce re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. One of our listeners calls in and tries to guess the tune, and the composer whose style Bruce is imitating.
Dec 15
The PT debut of an innovative recorder quartet from Germany: "Quartet New Generation." They proudly proclaim that the recorder is suitable for *any* kind of music, from Renaissance madrigals to Euro techno dance music. We'll hear "QNG" play a smoky tango on four of their biggest (and lowest) recorders, in concert at the 2009 Ojai Festival. We'll follow that with a tango for trumpet and orchestra, from soloist Tine Thing Helseth and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra in Oslo, as they play Astor Piazzolla's "Oblivion."
Dec 14
Aside from a roaring lion, what is a "lion's roar"? It's an unusual percussion instrument, and it roars in Patrick Dunnigan's bold arrangement of Renaissance dances. Fred Child explains what makes the lion roar, and we'll hear a full-throttle performance by the Dallas Wind Symphony, with drummers and brass players unleashed, and...the roaring lion.
Dec 12
Can an Austrian orchestra swing? We explore that question, as the Bruckner Orchestra of Linz, Austria, gives a performance of the Symphonic Dances from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story." Bernstein's music is jazzy, raucous, not the least bit tidy or controlled. We'll see if the Austrians can get into the American spirit of the music, in this performance from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Plus, a new Piano Puzzler with Bruce Adolphe.
Dec 11
Yesterday, the young Chinese pianist Lang Lang played at the Nobel Peace Price Award Ceremony in Oslo, Norway. We have Lang Lang's performances of a Chopin Etude, and "Liebestraum" by Franz Liszt. And Lang Lang talks about the honor of being invited to perform at the ceremony, and why he chose these two pieces.
Dec 10
Paul Galbraith is quietly revolutionizing the classical guitar world. He plays with his guitar held upright, like a cello. His specially-designed instrument even has an endpin in it, just like the cello. It's got eight strings, as opposed to the normal six. But more importantly, his sound is warm and expansive, and he plays with depth and artistry. Part one of Fred Child's conversation with Paul Galbraith is today. Tune in Friday for part two.
Dec 9

Dec 8
French pianist Francois Guy loves to play Beethoven. Just a few weeks ago in Washington, he accomplished a pianist's equivalent of an Iron Man. He played all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas, 9 concerts in 9 days. Today, he'll make his PT debut, playing Beethoven's fourth piano concerto, from a recent concert in Paris.
Dec 7
Prometheus took fire from the gods and gave it to mortals. We got warmth and light, knowledge and culture. But Zeus punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock for all eternity, where a giant eagle pecked out his liver each day. Hour one is a look at music inspired by the Prometheus legend, including music by Barber, Schubert, Beethoven, and Glazunov.
Dec 5
Outside, there is a great view of the Manhattan skyline. Inside, there is a cozy concert space with 130 seats. So what if the concert hall rocks when a ship goes by? Bargemusic is a concert space inside a barge moored below the Brooklyn Bridge, in New York City. From the cozy confines of Bargemusic, we'll hear a small-scale but spirited version of the Concerto for Two Violins, by Bach. And as a follow-up, a high-octane 2-minute version of the same piece, infused with bluegrass and jazz, from the trio "Time for Three."
Dec 4
Every Friday, PT features 21st century music. Today, the Turtle Island Quartet joins Fred in the studio to play a new piece called "Tree of Life," by Turtle Island violinist David Balakrishnan. Members of the quartet demonstrate their unusual string techniques (the chop, the shuffle bow, the bow slap, walking bass on the cello, etc.), and play Balakrishnan's exuberant new piece, which draws on a wide range of styles: classical, bluegrass, swing, Indian classical, and more.
Dec 3
Peter Tchaikovsky loved to visit Florence, Italy, especially in the winter. After one trip to the warm, sunny Tuscan city, he returned home with the idea for a new work. "Souvenir of Florence" was born of that winter getaway. Douglas Boyd leads the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in concert, on a chilly January evening in St. Paul.

Sergei Rachmaninoff once said he had neither the ability nor the desire to write a symphony. Not long after saying that, he wrote an epic: his Symphony No. 2, full of grand romance. We'll go to a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden to hear Mark Wigglesworth conducting the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. Plus: the most famous tango ever written: "La Cumparsita." Even if you don't know it by name, you'll recognize the tune, and you might have a hard time NOT singing along. The Cuarteto Latinoamericano played La Cumparsita in concert at the Strings Music Festival, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Concierge.com's insider take:
This place is more famous for its beautiful—and overrated—restaurant. The five suites in the Mediterranean villa, on the other hand, are less widely known but altogether a better bet—provided you can snag one. Casa Tua now operates as a private club (Boris Becker and Elle Macpherson are among the founding set), and members get first dibs, so you must reserve as far in advance as possible. It's worth it. The owners, Michele and Leticia Grendene, have lavished extraordinary attention on the rooms, creating deluxe cocoons with overstuffed white sofas, four-poster beds, and lovely, unexpected details—Loro Piana cashmere throws, 200-year-old Chinese chests, '50s Italian chairs. Before you arrive, you fill out a personal amenity list so that your choice of Santa Maria de Novella toiletries is waiting in your glistening, white bathroom (you can buy them and plenty of other things around the house). You also choose grade of sheet, type of flower, scent of candle…it is, after all, "your house."

Is Ecotourism Good For The Planet?
Ecotourism has been hailed as a win/win proposition for conservation, the host country, the traveler, and the industry. The reality is more complex. Much of what is marketed as environmentally responsible travel is "ecotourism lite"-simply nature or adventure tourism with a new name, or conventional cruise or beach holidays with "add-ons" (a short hike in the rainforest, a day's whitewater rafting). Properly practiced, ecotourism is multifaceted: it's low-impact, small-scale nature tourism that educates the traveler, provides funds for conservation, helps empower local communities, and fosters respect for different cultures and human rights.
Martha Honey, author of Ecotourism and Sustainable Development: Who Controls Paradise?
Many private reserves in Costa Rica are used for ecotourism and provide valuable buffer zones near national parks, increasing animal habitat. Lodge owners also often report poaching, logging, and hunting to the authorities. On the negative side, luxury beach hotels in Guanacaste Province lure tourists with phony ecotourism, promising the chance to see turtles laying their eggs, when in reality tourist development is endangering these ancient animals. These hotels also exploit the environment by offering golf courses and huge swimming pools where water is very scarce. A rule of thumb: stay away from the large beach hotels that tout ecotourism. There are plenty of small, responsible lodgings that cost a lot less, are warm and comfortable, and are run by people who love and want to protect nature.
Beatrice Blake, coauthor of The New Key to Costa Rica
People who earn their living from ecotourism are more likely to defend their natural resources against destructive activities, such as logging or mining. In Bolivia, the Quechua-Tacana villagers of San José Uchupiamonas developed the Chalalan Ecolodge to protect their land from oil and mining interests and to create jobs that would help keep the rainforest standing. Approximately 40 community members manage, staff, and own the business. Since the project began, poaching in the area is down, and the community's living conditions have markedly improved.
Russell A. Mittermeier, president, Conservation International
With the most remote corners of our delicate planet easily accessible by modern transport, how can we both protect and enjoy our world? In Maui, travelers on Sierra Club Service Outings have helped collect data on humpback whale behavior. This research contributed to a change in Hawaiian law that restricts winter parasailing in the Lahaina Roads area, ensuring humpback calves uninterrupted time to breach, swim close to the surface, and gain strength for their annual migration to Alaska.
Lynne Simpson, Sierra Club Outings leader and Partners in Responsible Tourism representative
The stress of ecotourism goes beyond the natural world to disrupt traditional ways of life. Indigenous people's use of the forest for firewood, meat, and agriculture sometimes comes in conflict with tourists' wishes to keep the land pristine. To protect the tourism industry, regulations preserve these forest resources; meanwhile, locals, unprepared for work in tourism, are left with no alternatives but impoverishment and resentment.
Randy Hayes, president, Rainforest Action Network
It is impossible to visit an environment and not have some deleterious effect. But the eco-traveler fights to keep the wild places wild, as he has been personally touched by their magic and beauty. This worked dramatically with the Tatshenshini River in Canada and Alaska, which runs through one of the wildest and most inaccessible corridors in North America. When a giant open-pit copper mine was proposed along the river, it was rafters who built a grassroots movement to stop the atrocity. In 1993, the plug was pulled, and the region was declared an international park, due in no small part to the eco-travelers who chose to act.

If you only use Google Scholar ( to search for papers you may not be aware that if you have published papers you can set up a Google Scholar author profile and add those papers to your profile. Google then creates a page showing a graph of when and how often your papers were cited and generates an H-index and i10-index for you. This only covers the papers that Google Scholar has in its database and there are serious gaps in its coverage for some sectors.
RiLIES PROJECT « LIS Research Coalition. The Research in Librarianship – Impact Evaluation Study (RiLIES – pronounced "realise") refers to two projects supported by the LIS Research Coalition.
RiLIES1 was completed between February and July 2011. RiLIES2 runs from February to July 2012. Research impact resources: One of the aims of RiLIES has been to support improvements to research impact. As part of the project, we have brought together materials for LIS researchers and practitioners. They can be found in two places on this site: Library and Information Research Journal. RIN report on researchers & IL.
The ability of researchers to handle information is of vital importance.
Many individuals have become adept at developing approaches and using innovative technologies to make most of the information environment, but others rather less so. Questions about how researchers develop appropriate skills, the support they receive, the training opportunities provided for them, and the take-up of such opportunities are thus highly pertinent. Research supervisors can play a crucial role in the effective imparting of relevant skills, knowledge and understanding. But in reality, they often are not able, well-equipped or even predisposed to play such a role. RIN's Mind the Skills Gap report pointed to the "the widespread perception that some research supervisors do not recognise the need for the types of training on offer to 'their' postgraduate students.

VIDEO: Baton Rouge-native captures footage of Oklahoma tornado
POSTED: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 10:13am
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 1:32pm
MOORE, Oklahoma (NBC33) — A Baton Rouge-native was two miles from the direct path of destruction in Moore, Oklahoma. He captured the terrifying sight of the massive twister that killed 24 people, including nine children.
"It sounded like a group of jet planes flying low to the ground," Will Boutte said. "You could see debris flying about 100 to 200 feet in the air."
Boutte was staying at the Comfort Inn to work in the area. He arrived in Moore on Wednesday, May 15 to help file insurance claims for hail damage. Little did he know he was about to in the middle of a devastating series of storms.
"I was in between two tornadoes the day before," he said. "One was about 20 miles north and the other was about 20 miles south."
Then, on Monday, the sirens sounded and a two-mile-wide twister flattened the area.
"You could hear all the transformers blowing out as it crossed the Interstate," Boutte recalled.
Click here to view a photo gallery of damage.
The task of recovery is what remains. Today, volunteers from across Louisiana packed up their vehicles and headed out to provide assistance.
"The basic human spirit is that we go to help," Nancy Malone, Baton Rouge chapter of the American Red Cross, said. "When you're needed, you go."
NBC33's Danielle Grossman talked with a Baton Rouge couple who left this morning to provide assistance. She will have their story tonight on NBC33 News at 5:00.

Carles Puyol reflected in his address to Barcelona fans on the difficulty that 2012-13 presented in the club trying to win the League.
In celebrating being presented their 22nd League title on Sunday evening after a 2-1 win against Real Valladolid, Barca's captain addressed supporters in a message of thanks.
"We want to thank you for the support you've shown us. It's been a difficult year, but we won La Liga," Puyol reflected.
"The most important thing is that Abidal and Tito are here with us. Let's celebrate this well earned title. We want more next season!"

owner of perfect house lives in car.
looking into trade news i camw across this...dont know why it was with my search but wanted to share with u.
Owner of Perfect House Lives in Car September 18, 2002 - Baltimore, USA In fear of possibly disturbing the perfection that is his house, Donald Manison has been forced to live in his 1998 Dodge Caravan. I became obsessive, everything in the house was so photo-perfect that I was eventually scared of walking on the carpet in fear that I might disturb the direction of the carpet threads. Magazines wanting a glimpse and photos of the perfect house were limited to viewing through opened ground floor windows. When asked how long he will continue his present lifestyle he replied, If living in my mini-van is payment for a perfect house, I willing to pay. |

President European Parliament welcomes Multiparty Taskforce on Gender
The President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz welcomed the first meeting of the Multiparty Taskforce on Gender which took place 2-3 July in Batumi, Georgia. The seven partner political parties of NIMD Georgia discussed ways to increase the participation of women in politics. From all OSCE countries, Georgian women are the least represented in their national parliament (6.6%). The key to gender equality lies with political parties by encouraging women to pursue political office and by including women on party lists.
Martin Schulz stressed that "in Georgia gender-balance in politics is an issue that desperately needs more attention." He added, "The upcoming parliamentary elections in Georgia will be extremely important; they will provide an opportunity for Georgians to not only be more gender-inclusive in politics but to demonstrate the maturity of their democracy and to continue on the path of ambitious reforms. It is essential, therefore, for all political parties to demonstrate their dedication to the goal of European integration by ensuring that the electoral process conforms fully to what we expect of our democratic partners."
The Multiparty Taskforce issued a communiqué in which the seven political parties committed themselves to measures to increase women participation in politics.

Widener environmental law professor appointed to national committee on sustainability
Public Relations
- Published: December 16, 2010
Widener Law Distinguished
Professor John C. Dernbach
has been appointed to a national committee that will advise on ways the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can incorporate sustainability into agency decision-making.
The Committee on Incorporating Sustainability in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is part of the National Academy of Sciences. It was created at the request of the EPA's Office of Research and Development. One of the questions the committee will address concerns the relationship between sustainability and the EPA's traditional effort to reduce and manage risks.
Dernbach, who teaches on Widener's Harrisburg, Pa. campus, began his work with the 12-member committee at an opening session Dec. 14-15 in Washington, D.C. The group will issue a report within one year making recommendations to EPA.
"It is a privilege and an honor to be part of this committee," Dernbach said. "I look forward to working on this important issue."
Dernbach directs
Widener's Environmental Law Center
, which launched in October 2009 under the motto "Law for Sustainability." The center creates learning and service opportunities for students and helps public and private decision-makers solve legal problems relating to environment, energy and climate change.
His 2009 book "Agenda for a Sustainable America" is a comprehensive assessment of recent American sustainability efforts based on contributions from academic and other experts from around the country. It also contains recommendations for the next five to 10 years. Dernbach approached the project with the intention of providing a broad framework for moving the United States toward sustainability.
Dernbach teaches and writes in the areas of environmental law, property, international environmental law, climate change, and sustainability and the law. He was quoted prominently in Thomas L. Friedman's latest book "Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How it Can Renew America." He joined the Widener Law faculty in 1993.

Clarence Johnston Wolfe, III is the father of my 2 older children.
His father is Clarence Johnston Wolfe, II. He was married to a Pat (unknown last name). They lived in Tampa, Florida when I met their son, Clarence Johnston "John" Wolfe, III.
I think his father is Clarence Johnston Wolfe, Jr. born 1/6/1914 in Port Tampa, Florida married to Frances Juanita Hall born 12/6/1920 in Empire, Georgia.
Hello, Has anyone helped you yet with information on the Wolfes? I am a genealogy researcher and have some information for you. Although I sometimes charge people for my services, there is no cost to you for the information I have found. I know the parents, grandparents and great grandparents of Clarence Johnston Wolfe, born Jan 6 1914. If you don't already have this information, I would be glad to share with you.
Karen Peterson, Stuart, Florida
I have my hubby in the hospital right now. He had open heart surgery Monday. As much as I'd like to know more and would love to pay for some info, it will be impossible right now. I know you stated no cost to me but I just want to be upfront about my current situation.
Any info would be fantastic.
Linda, Louisiana
Sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he has a speedy recovery. I love genealogy and if I can help someone find their heritage, even at no charge, I feel a sense of accomplishment. The research I did was in the databases that I have access to. I can give you all of the information that I found in text format. That way there is no extra expense to me for making a pedigree chart, making copies of census records and other documentation. Somewhere down the line, if family members want more detailed information, they can choose to pay me for those expenses and I can prepare them. It probably would be hard to put all of the information I have on this message board. What is your email address? Mine is email@example.com. We can correspond privately that way. Looking forward to helping you.
Clarence Johnston Wolfe, Jr. (m. Frances Juanita Hall)
His Parents: Clarence Johnston Wolfe & Muriel (last name unknown)
Grandparents: Thomas J. Wolfe & Jennie E. Johnston
Great Grandparents: Daniel Wolfe & Nancy J. Bryan
W. F. Johnston & Jane (last name unknown)

Prague - Czechs give the second highest assessment to the change of the political system in 1989 out of Central Europeans, according to a polls conducted by the CVVM polling agency in February and released today.
The Czech Republic was trailed by Poland. Some 71 percent of its inhabitants viewed positively the end of the Communist rule.
The polls in four Central European countries were carried out by partnership organisations of the CEORG (Central European Opinion Research Group).
Some 39 percent of Poles said the change of the system was definitely beneficial.
On the other hand, some 38 percent of Czechs said the change was "rather beneficial," while only 25 percent agreed with the view that it was definitely beneficial.
In Slovakia, the change in 1989 was called definitely beneficial by 19 percent and in Hungary by 12 percent.
Poles are also the most optimistic when assessing the changes set into motion by the fall of the Communist regime. A positive impact on the public was given by 45 percent of Poles, while 27 percent said the changes brought about as many benefits as losses and 15 percent believe that the changes were negative.
In the Czech Republic, 37 percent are of the view that the changes brought more benefits than losses, while the opposite view is held by 29 percent of Czechs and roughly the same proportion consider the total balance of assets and liabilities even.
In Slovakia and Hungary, the changes after 1989 were considered rather beneficial by 27 percent in both countries.
However, 42 percent of Hungarians and 33 percent of Slovaks are of the view that there were more losses than benefits.
On the other hand, 33 percent of Slovaks say the balance was even, while in Hungary, the view is held by about 20 percent of people.
The scepticism of the developments after 1989 grows along with the falling living standards, income and education and rising age.
The CVVM conducted the poll on a sample of 1,000 Czechs over 15 in the first half of February.

For the past year or so I've been using shea butter for just about everything. I get mine unrefined, raw, organic, and fair trade through amazon.ca (who knew!) from a brand called Karitex. I've used shea butter for eczema treatment, lip balm, split end treatment, body butters, lotion bars, face cream, natural mascara substitute, and a couple other things. I completely treated/cured my brother's eczema that he's had for about 6 years. It was persistent and gave him sore, cracked, bleeding hands that no amount of prescription cream would treat. I slathered on a generous amount (1 tbs or so per hand) of shea butter (that I whipped for easier spreading and consistency) and massaged that in every night for about a month, and covering his hands with cotton socks to keep the shea butter from rubbing off in the night. After a month, I used about 1 tsp per hand and kept with the socks. After 3 months, his hands were so much better and not cracked at all. The whole process took about 4 months and now, even in cold eczema season, his hands are staying absolutely soft and healthy with a smidge of shea butter every week or so. As a lip balm I mixed it with a bit of honey and kept it in little pots. Super moisturizing and really tasty! I make a face cream with coconut oil and shea butter that keeps acne at bay and my face's oil production to a minimum, and it keeps my skin soft all year while mixed into all kinds of body butters. It's a bit heavy on it's own, so I would suggest mixing it with oil before using it as a body lotion. Whoops this is getting long...
In short, it has an incredible amount of uses and be sure to get pure and unrefined for best results! Take care :-)

This is the thing one has to realize about 100% natural shea butter. In order to get the best effects from it, it needs to be either smoothed out (creamed) or melted to soften. (place in a microwave oven on medium to low temperature in a glass bowl, constantly stirring it until it is creamy. If you don't get the desired consistency you would like for your hair or skin type, mix in a small amount of coconut oil -- also use 100% coconut oil-- in with it so that you can get that whipped creamy feeling) This will help with your hair. Also, place the shea butter on your hair before you take a shower and let the steam penetrate the butter through your scalp and you will notice the difference.

I have struggled with extreme eczema ever since I can remember. And not just to the extent of really dry or parched skin, but to the point of having my body covered in dark psoriasis-like scales, my face, neck and feet the only things excluded. So, as you can imagine, at 23, I had exhausted any and every lotion, cream, prescription, etc, to no avail. I was actually in a beauty supply store for hair, and my mom spotted this display table with tubs of shea butter. Upon reading what it's claims were for eczema, she picked it up. I wasn't reluctant to try it, but I wasn't expecting anything from it-except another failure. I used it one night, on my arms and legs, the most prominently covered areas, and thought nothing else about it. A couple days later, I happened to notice that a few areas on my legs and arms had lightened-after ONE shoddy application! Fast forward to a little over a month later, and my skin is about 90 percent clear! I haven't been able to wear short shorts since I was 14, and wearing my first pair in years a few days ago, and feeling confident in them, would have made me a little emotional were I not such a hard ass This stuff is seriously miraculous. I just started using it on my face last night, as it's said to have good moisturizing properties and skin healing for blemishes so we'll see. This stuff is gold. :)

I absolutely love this stuff! I always have a small pot available and use it as a face treatment. The way I apply it is I warm a small amount between my fingers so it melts slightly, then I pat it all over my face. I then massage it into my skin, it can be quite greasy but I use it as a overnight treatment about once a week so this doesn't bother me. It feels so soothing and luxurious. Almost all of my favourite face and body creams contain this or cocoa butter, I don't think you will find any better moisturisers. It is also quite cheap to buy, I get a small whipped 50ml pot for £3 online which lasts a long time if used only as a face cream (mysheaworld).

I was surprised by all of the positive reviews, but then I realized people are rating this as a body moisturizer, but the listing here is for the hair. In body care it's okay, but for my hair, what a nightmare. My hair is thin and fine, and I ended up getting a small tub of a shea butter based leave in for my hair, which gets rave reviews on a long hair message board. I used the tiniest bit on my ends as instructed (I only touched it until my finger tips were shiny & only worked it through the last few inches of my hair, where it's drier), and this stuff bonded to my hair like super glue. It made it more tangled and sort of matte looking.
After clarifying with everything from prell, to Paul Mitchell shampoo 3, to trying a CO wash, this still leaves a waxy build up on my hair. I'm going to try an extra virgin olive oil treatment tomorrow to try to get it out. Lots of people love this stuff, but if you have fine, thin hair, I would advise to proceed with caution. I absolutely hate it for my hair :(

I snagged a jar of whipped Shea butter from my nail tech and I've been massaging it to my feet at night and in the morning before rubbing the excess into my hands.
It melts quickly and doesn't leave a greasy mess. The smell is a bit nutty, but inoffensive. My feet are soft even with working out two hours a day and my nails are less brittle.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Neutral

Unrefined shea butter is an awesome moisturizer but it doesn't really do anything besides that, it just hydrates a lot. I bought it because I was told it would be good for my eczema and it did moisturize it but I didn't get rid of it. Its also pretty expensive and the smell is horrendous. I probably wouldn't repurchase.

Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

This is my HG cleanser/moisturiser. I've suffered from oily, acne-prone skin for the past 5-6 years, and nothing has really helped. In the past month or so since I've been using shea butter (organic unrefined) in the oil cleansing method, I've found that my skin is much better; softer, smoother and I now get little (if any) breakouts or spots.
The texture of unrefined shea butter can be a little unnerving at first, as you need to warm it in your hands to apply it. It also has an interesting, slightly nutty scent to it, but this all became insignificant when I discovered how much better my skin was. I will most definitely be purchasing again, especially as it is so cheap!
Age: 19-24

I am addicted to shea butter. I have been using it for the past two years and I cannot imagine being without it. I first got it by an african store locally. It is not that bright yellow color in the picture but it is more of an beige ivory color. If it refined the butter won't have the characteristic smell and it would be white. I use the shea butter right after I finished showering. Before I used straight shea butter but now I add some other oils to give even more skin benefits. I make a whipped butter and apply that to my skin and use it as a lip balm. It keep me soft and supple. People always compliment me on how "rich" my skin looks. Some people to hate the scent but I love it plus it doesn't linger anyways. For those who don't like it they can whip it up with some essentials to hide the smell. I buy mines online at coastal scents

Wow! This is great. I bought it for my feet because I was tired of buying brand name over scented shea butters and body butters, like from Victoria's Secret and The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works. I wanted something that works as well as Shea but without all the perfume, so I tried this. I must say this is amazing.
First, for those who want to try cooking with shea butter as an alternative, this stuff doesn't have any taste, and it does "wet" your food. As I read, I tried it on pancakes, bread and made eggs with it and was very pleased.
Next, I scooped out this stuff, which was hard as a brick, but as soon as I set it in the sun, literally within a minute, it got soft and runny! Scooped it up and tested it on my feet and hands, and it was easily absorbed.
Next, I did some research, wondering if I could whip this myself in my kitchen for easier application. While there were a bunch of elaborate and wild recipes online, I wanted to be simple. I put the half pound of shea in the sun a few until it softened; then I scooped into the bowl, and added an 1/8 cup of olive and whipped it until it was like butter. The results were fabulous. It absorbed so easily and my feet feel great. One application of this lasts an entire week; an entire week of soft heels.
Additionally, I have curly hair. I tried it in my hair, both damp and dry, and the results were pretty good. It definitely left a shine to it and softened it. I blow dried and straightened my hair, and the results were alright.
Well, anyway, this was a lot of fun. I will continue buying raw shea and having fun with it. This stuff works so thoroughly that this little half pound will probably last at least 6 months, maybe longer. Although our summers here get pretty hot, so I might go through it much faster.

The St. Louis County Library Foundation is pleased to present author and Pelopidas CEO Travis H. Brown for a discussion and signing of his book "How Money Walks: How $2 Trillion Moved Between the States" on Friday, January 18, at 7:00 p.m. at Library Headquarters, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd. The program is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
Between 1995 and 2010, millions of Americans moved between the states, taking with them over $2 trillion in adjusted gross income. Why did Americans move so much of their income from state to state? Which states benefitted and which states suffered? "How Money Walks" maps this great migration of American income and raises important questions about American tax policy and how it profoundly affects growth and development in our country.
Travis H. Brown has two decades of state and local lobbying experience and has worked in one-third of the 50 states. After a diverse career in corporate sales, marketing, and government affairs, Brown co-founded Pelopidas LLC, a St. Louis-based public affairs and advocacy firm. He is a contributor to Forbes.com and a blogger at YourTaxCode.com.
Program sites are accessible. Upon two weeks notice, accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Contact St. Louis County Library by phone 314-994-3300 or visit www.slcl.org.

Green construction need not be complicated or cost-prohibitive, experts told attendees during two presentations at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) June 26.
"Building green, energy-efficient homes doesn't have to be rocket science," said construction consultant Steve Easley, owner of Steve Easley & Associates. "You can build very efficient homes at very low cost."
The following collection of "attainable sustainable" building practices from presenters at the two sessions could help make your projects a little greener—without requiring much green:
In most green building certification programs, energy efficiency accounts for a lion's share of the points, Easley said. Plus, it's appealing to homeowners. "Consumers want homes that have reduced operating costs," he said.
The most cost-effective energy-saving features vary by climate, noted Justin Dunning, director of the California Green Builder program. For example, in a climate like San Diego, where little heat or air conditioning is needed, tankless water heaters can provide a bigger return on investment than additional spending on HVAC, he said.
But there are some energy-saving measures that can benefit most builders regardless of climate, he said.

Selling guns in Colorado vs. Texas
POSTED: Thursday, February 21, 2013 - 10:26pm
UPDATED: Friday, February 22, 2013 - 12:15pm
(KETK) - Jacksonville Tx — Most of Jerry Wood's 35 years in the firearms business were spent in Colorado, the others were spent here in Texas, and after a shot a retirement he's opened The Gun Room in Jacksonville.
"I retired, got bored, decided i could do this easier than do the honey do jobs" said Wood.
But during his two decades selling guns in Colorado, Texas never seemed too far away.
"We had a lot of our business was Texans, they had second homes," said wood.
But that part of the country does differ from East Texas when it comes to buying your gun.
"Here background checks normally you can get out of here within five or ten minutes."
A very different time frame than Colorado.
"Texas goes to the BATF directly, Colorado goes to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, then they go to the BATF and sometimes you might have to wait an hour to maybe 24 hours maybe 48 hours to pick up a gun" Wood tells KETK.
And Wood says, all that extra time doesn't mean a more thorough and effective check.
"At one time we had 2 or 3 days waiting period a lot of times but here it's just as strenuous here, but it goes through quicker."
So as the state of Colorado makes more strict regulations concerning gun rights, Wood says, they are putting their efforts in the wrong place.
"It's not going to slow down anything, we need control on people not the guns. Enforce the laws we have."
Comments News Comments
And yet Colorado has more violence and crime per capita than Texas. Why? Why do liberal states have more crime? Could it be how they have a more permissive culture? Could it be they have lenient punishment?
Yes he is right, we need more controls on criminals, gangs, and mentally disturbed. But we also need to lower the incidence of broken homes and more guidance to youths so they do not join gangs.

Survival horror games don't often have literal timers, but the exact same stress and panic can be created because the underlying mechanics governing player actions are very similar. |
Long-term and short-term time management, and their interplay between other resources, is what defines StarCraft's intense strategic gameplay. |
- Never attach an absolute fail state to a timer. If the player makes a mistake, gets stuck, etc. and runs out of time, that's frustrating. Combining that with a game over screen, lost progress, the requirement to replay a section of gameplay? Even more annoying. For example, in Diablo III, there's a challenge to reach a hidden vault before it closes again, but this doesn't result in a "rocks fall, everyone dies" scenario.
- Telegraph the benefits of beating the clock, or the risks of failure. If the player doesn't know what's at stake then it's not worth bothering with a timer at all. This can apply both to gameplay and story - such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution punishing the player for spending too much time smelling flowers during a hostage situation, but only after reinforcing the importance of being quick.
- Offer rewards, not punishments. Timers are already punishing in themselves. If a player is able to complete a goal before a timer runs out, that's a sign of skill, and should be rewarded. Losing out isn't always a function of a lack of skill, and while sometimes punishments are fine, usually the punishment should come from what the player is missing out on by losing, not by crippling them further.
- Give alternatives. Especially in the case of long-term timers (such as a food and hunger mechanic), players can always be caught with their pants down in a way that is unpredictable and may not be their fault. Rather than face the prospect of hours of lost game time for simple forgetfulness, offer the ability to take an alternate punishment (exchange one resource for another, i.e. time for gold), or make up for the mistake (complete an optional challenge to gain more time back).
Grand Theft Auto is known for its stringent time limits, but they tend to be more frustrating than fun due to their incredible strictness and mandatory nature. |

"Hundreds of Booksellers, Thousands of Books, One Great Community" — a new tagline describing an innovative partnership in the regional literary community: the Heartland Fall Forum. The Midwest Independent Booksellers Association (MIBA) and the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association (GLIBA) are joining forces to bring booksellers, publishers, vendors, and other professionals in the book industry a combined trade show in the fall of 2012 and 2013. The Heartland Fall Forum will be the largest regional trade show in the country to serve the independent bookselling market.
The idea of holding a shared Midwestern show has been discussed by book industry professionals for years and gained momentum after MIBA and GLIBA co-hosted a successful spring meeting in March 2011. Robin Allen, GLIBA's vice president and owner of Forever Books in St. Joseph, Michigan, calls the joined trade show "an exciting opportunity to expand bookseller networking and for the boards to collaborate on issues that face independent booksellers in a changing market." Adds GLIBA executive director, Deb Leonard, "this event will give booksellers who don't travel to New York the opportunity to be a part of a major trade event with marquee authors, top-notch education, and a diversity of exhibitors from across the country."
"We'll ensure our entire membership experiences a wealth of resources and opportunities at this show," says Carrie Obry, executive director of MIBA. The forum will allow publishers to consolidate their marketing efforts throughout the greater Midwest, while increased attendance fosters the type of rich interaction that happens when booksellers, sales reps, and authors come together in educational and networking events. Ruth Liebmann, VP, director of account marketing at Random House, Inc., says "We're very excited about this collaboration. It's going to be great for booksellers, publishers, and authors. It's about having an energetic show with vibrant programming that best serves the respective memberships."
Regional publishers are also expressing enthusiasm for the shared show. Sam Scinta, president and publisher of Fulcrum Publishing, says the collaboration "will make an already excellent show more vibrant and exciting, and will give even more reason for publishers to attend, as they will have more customers with whom to interact."
Sales reps, whose territory often lies in both regions, have often been the strongest advocates of this joined Midwestern show. Bruce Miller calls the joint show "irresistible," while Eric Heidemann, sales rep at Fujii Associates says, "By combining the shows, we can create a better economy for everyone."
In 2012, the Heartland Fall Forum will be held at The Depot in downtown Minneapolis on October 3–5. In 2013, it will take place in GLIBA's region at a location and date still to be determined. The show will be open to members of the two associations' member states (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota). All other aspects of MIBA and GLIBA's separate programming and association structure will remain unchanged.
