Vitamin A & E Moisturizer contains standard emollients for dry skin but note that this has an unusually greasy texture that is not suited for dry skin that's prone to breakouts. Actually, given the problematic plant extracts this contains, it's a poor choice for any skin type. The International Units of vitamins A and E referred to in the claims makes it seem as though this moisturizer contains a large amount of those antioxidant vitamins. In truth, it contains roughly the same amount as countless other moisturizers boasting of the vitamins they contain.
Vitamin A, which helps prevent dryness and loss of elasticity, and Vitamin E, the anti-oxidant and healing nutrient said to prevent and reduce scars, are the nutrients most important to healthy skin. We've combined 25,000 International Units of Vitamin A, 5,000 I.U. of Vitamin E, moisture-rich Olive Oil and Aloe Vera, the "healing plant" with selected herbs and flowers, like Jasmine, Iris and Carrot to further soften and nourish. The result is an ultra-rich formula that ensures maximum moisture and healthy, beautiful skin!

Kiss My Face At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; generous sizes; some very good sunscreens, occasional use of antioxidants without troublesome plant extracts; some fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: Nearly all products contain one or more problematic plant extracts or volatile plant oils; the Obsessively Organic line is a dud; no products to treat acne or lighten skin discolorations; several bar soaps; no reliable AHA or BHA products; irritating toners; problematic self-tanner.
Lining the shelves of many health food stores and the "natural" skin-care aisles of quite a few national grocery store chains is this sweetly named line of skin-care products. Similar to competitor Burt's Bees (where Burt himself sold handmade products out of the back of his pickup truck), the owners of Kiss My Face are also vegetarians. (What does dietary preference have to do with skin care? We don't know, but it's mentioned several times in the information about this company.) Also similar to Burt's Bees, the founders of Kiss My Face started on a farm and took their products and concept to the big city, where it was well received.
Of course, the farm setting juxtaposed with the urban success speaks to the company's desire to maintain their natural image, despite using several ingredients that aren't natural in the least. If anything, many of the natural ingredients Kiss My Face chooses are a problem for skin because they cause irritation. Even more upsetting is that they do so without exerting a benefit. The company claims to use the latest scientific research mixed with the best nature has to offer, saying that doesn't leave any room for "unnecessary chemical additives," but there is a lot of research about all kinds of ingredients, natural and synthetic, that indicates they are excellent for skin. Kiss My Face must be doing some inadequate or extremely limited research.
What Kiss My Face lacks is a product range that keeps up with state-of-the-art options from neighboring lines in the mass market. We are leery of any skin-care company that claims to be using the latest research and yet sells sunscreens without reliable UVA protection, toners with irritants, and far more bar soaps, which are also a problem for skin, than water-soluble cleansers. Again, what research are they using? Although the natural slant here is more a front than factual, there are some winning products to consider, and the price point is very attractive, as is the simple packaging. Shopping Kiss My Face carefully can result in some great beauty bargains.

The Eldorado Varsity and JV Eagles finished their pre-season schedule last week in Miles versus the Bulldogs. The JV team tallied five first downs to Miles's one. The defense was lead by Luis Sanchez and Dylan Ramos each recording interceptions. Justin Estrada had a pass knock down and Bailey Espinosa recorded a pass break up. Brian Shriver made several tackles on the defensive stand.
The offensive effort for the JV Eagles saw Bailey Espinosa connect with Michael Bilbrey on a pass. Justin Estrada, Luis Sanchez, Will Barker, and Brian Shriver all gained positive yards rushing the ball. Eldorado pushed the ball into the Miles' red zone and appear to score on a 10 yard pass. The pass would be called back due to an offensive pass interference call.
Both JV teams would get one more opportunity to score but neither team prevailed but the Eagles JV showed improvement over the past weeks performance.
The Varsity Eagles started on defense and Varsity Bulldogs senior quarterback, Garrett Brandon raced around the left side of the defense for a 35 yard gain on the first play. Miles, now in Eldorado territory, had their hopes dashed by Nathan Jimenez when he intercepted a pass that was caused by a pass rush up front, forcing an early throw.
Miles retained possession of the ball under the scrimmage format and two plays later Garrett Brandon would step up against the rushing defense and connect on a 45 yard pass that would bring the ball to Eldorado's 10 yard line. Brandon subsequently scored on a quarterback keeper to the left side.
Eldorado gained possession of the ball and saw Rico Martinez, Ruben Vasquez, Miles Mikeska, and Rudy Sanchez carry the ball. Eldorado was methodically marching down the field and was ready to score but a holding penalty negated that chance from 10 yards out.
Two plays later the Eagles fumbled, squandering any attempts to reach the end zone.
The second offensive possession for the Bulldogs would see J.R. Martinez knock down a pass attempt. The Bulldogs were unable to move the ball effectively and Eldorado went back on offense.
Offensively Eldorado saw back to back runs by Rudy Sanchez that set up a 55 yard touchdown run by Ruben Vasquez.
Both teams played a live quarter with Miles taking first possession. The Eldorado defense held for three plays to force a punt. Eldorado took over with just over 10:00 minutes to play.
The Eagles marched the ball down the field and was poised for a last play attempt to score for the 5 yard line. Eldorado was unable to score but they showed their size and experience behind the offensive line as they moved over and thrown the Miles defense.
Eldorado's offensive line is anchored by Johnathan Espinosa, J.R. Martinez, Ben Wipff, Briley Ledbetter, and Eric Estrada. Subbing in for the line are Domingo Torres and Hector Reyes.
The Eagles defense will be lead by Miles Mikeska and Josh Jurecek at the linebacker positions. Each averaged over 11 tackles a game last season and there are high hopes for this year as the season begins with both being seniors to lead and experienced defensive team as well.
Offensively the Eagles will see Jaymie O'Harrow under center with Rudy Sanchez at tailback and Miles Mikeska at fullback. Nathan Jimenez will be the wing back and Rico Martinez, Ruben Vasquez, Dylan Ramos, and Roman Medrano will be playing utility rolls.
Blaine Mitchell and Allen Espinosa will be back ups to O'Harrow at quarterback. Mitchell and Espinosa will also play on defense as well at times.
Eldorado has high hopes this season after finishing last year at 5-5 and missing the playoffs by one game.
The Eagles will open their 2010 season Friday night in Gorman. The Panthers, under head coach Charlie Bunch are coming off of a 3 – 7 season. They are fielding a young team that features four returning offensive and defensive line starters in Randy Woodall, Jose Huerta, Matt Keith, and Cameron Clark representing district 9.
The Panthers will be led by junior quarterback, Matt Fox and sophomore running back B.J. Ramirez who averaged over 85 yard a game rushing. Sophomores, Josh Ryon and Nathan Gee will be in the slots at the receiver position. Gorman will feature a wishbone style offense that will try to just grind the ball down the field and take time off the clock.
The pep rally at Eldorado's Eagle Gymnasium will take place at 1pm to accommodate the travel time to Gorman. If you are unable to attend the contest you can tune in to KLDE 104.9 as Mason Vaughn and Kerry Joy will bring the action live to you.
The pregame show is slated for 7 p.m. with the kickoff scheduled for 7:30.
Entering week number one of the 2010 football season Eldorado's district features defending state champion Goldthwaite ranked #1, Mason #13, Winters #55, Reagan County #59, and Eldorado #65 via the Harris Ratings.
Best of luck to the Eagles and the coaching staff and remember to come early to the game, wear green and be loud. GO EAGLES GO!!!!!!!!

She is a highly successful litigator and regularly presents company and industry cases before Administrative Law Judges, Federal Review Commissions and the United States Court of Appeals. In a recent high profile Court of Appeals case, Margo effectively saved the mining industry from severe limitations on its rights to manage its workforce, involving potentially millions of dollars, by successfully arguing that temporary reinstatement of miners in discrimination cases must end when MSHA decides not to take the case.
Margo represents mine operators in federal investigations and cases arising out of mine incidents and agency enforcement actions under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act. She has been lead counsel in the aftermath of serious mine accidents and she represents companies and witnesses in MSHA special investigations and safety discrimination cases. She also has represented companies in investigations and litigation involving the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
She has extensive experience in assisting manufacturers of safety equipment in MSHA and NIOSH product certification investigations and related litigation. She also assists companies and trade associations with response to agency policies and rulemakings, including cases in federal court challenging agency rules and MSHA/OSHA jurisdiction decisions.
Margo also regularly provides legal services to trade associations and professional societies on a wide variety of topics including employment law, organizational governance, contracts, government relations and intellectual property.
She took principal responsibility for editing Ogletree Deakins authors' chapters for the 2008 edition of Occupational Safety and Health Law Manual (Government Institutes), and, herself, is the author of chapters in that volume as well as articles in multiple safety industry publications. Margo is a frequent speaker on safety law topics and she provides training for companies on responding to safety and health law enforcement.
A graduate with Distinction from the University of Virginia, Margo received her law degree with Honors from George Washington University where she was an Editor of The George Washington Journal of International Law and Economics.

The chief abominable snowman has mobilized his troops to retrieve their carrot noses, stolen by the Snowtel guests who just wanted to feed Rudolph on Christmas night. They did not know about the ancient snowman curse their carrot snatching would unleash upon the world!
Help us stop them before it's too late!
S. Flake
Canadian Chief Hotel Manager
— End of Transmission —
As the transmission says, you are in charge of keeping the hotel safe from the incoming swarm of abominable snowmen. This isn't a tower defense game with waves of creeps though, it is one of those 'tap to kill' games where you have to defend your hotel from the masses of snowmen that want it gone.
The snowmen in Snowtel come in all shapes an sizes, some have force fields, some fly, some are really quick, but they all die the same. All you have to do is set your iPhone in a comfortable position and then tap like an insane person. My personal method was to tap at rapid speed along the edges and then catch any that broke through my death tap line, but I'm sure any method would work. After 31 levels of snowman blasting chaos you'll get really good at it.
In the end, Snowtel really suffers from a lack of variety. The concept is fun, the graphics are wintery and cold, but there just isn't enough variety to make me want to play over and over. What would make Snowtel better would be some add-on RPG elements. Let me spend some hotel dollars to purchase some landmines or an auto-fire cannon/AA gun that I can perch on top of the hotel. Little things that change up the gameplay are critical, and Snowtel kind of misses the boat on that. If you are just looking for a quick holiday themed romp though, you may get a kick out of popping the snowmen in Snowtel.

9 Top Rosacea Triggers and How to Tame Them
Red, Ruddy or Dry Skin? Get Solutions to Rosacea's Symptoms

Top 10 Women's Skin Problems – Solved!
Halcinonide Topical
AbobotulinumtoxinA Injection
Just when your rosacea is under control, those red bumps and rosy glow appear out of nowhere. What caused this sudden outbreak? That hot bubble bath or can of soda could be to blame. Here's how to tame the top 9 rosacea triggers...
You really want to order that glass of wine. Or just spend a hot day outside in the sun.
But if you're one of 14 million Americans with rosacea, you know what will happen if you do: Your face reddens with bumps and pus-filled pimples. Eyes tear and eyelids swell; then the itching starts.
These are classic symptoms of the chronic inflammatory skin condition.
At first you may just blush easily.
But if left untreated, blood vessels can show up like lines of red ink. Remember old-time actor W.C. Fields? His ruddy skin, bulbous nose and spidery veins were partly due to an extreme case of rosacea.
Fields' skin problem affects men 25 times more than women, says dermatologist Charles E. Crutchfield III, M.D., medical director of Crutchfield Dermatology in Eagan, Minn.
Experts don't know what causes the disorder. It's common in people with fair skin – especially people from Scotland, Ireland and England – and typically affects men and women older than 30. And if your parents had it, there's a greater chance you'll get it too.
It's important to get "rosacea under control and keep skin clear so you don't have those secondary side effects," says Bruce Katz, M.D., director of the Juva Skin & Laser Clinic in New York City. "It's not a dangerous condition and not a hard one to control."
But it's a challenge, because many factors set off a red skin response and they vary from one person to the next.
"Rarely is everyone [set off] by everything on the list," Dr. Crutchfield says.
Stress can set off an outbreak in some; others by favorite indulgences, like a hot bath, big mug of coffee or a long run.
"The key is to find out which triggers are yours, so you can avoid them," Dr. Crutchfield says.
Here are 9 common rosacea triggers and natural tips to combat them:
1. Spicy foods
Hot peppers topped the list of trigger foods, according to a 2003 survey of 502 women with rosacea by the National Rosacea Society. Mexican-style foods, such as hot salsas, ranked second, followed by chili, hot sausage and Cajun foods. Even horseradish and vinegar can bring on scarlet in some.
Rosacea tip:
Don't worry, you're not doomed to bland meals.
"Try spices, like Mrs. Dash [salt-free seasoning blend], that add flavor but not extreme spiciness," Dr. Crutchfield says.
In recipes that call for red pepper or chili powder, substitute 2 parts cumin and 1 part oregano.
Other flavor boosters: Swap out a spicy salsa for a refreshing fruit salsa with peaches, raspberries, orange juice, chopped mint, a pinch of cinnamon and a splash of balsamic vinegar (skip the last ingredient if it causes inflammation).
2. Hot beverages
That grande latte will give you more than an energy boost.
"Having a hot cup of tea or coffee causes your blood vessels to dilate, so you get flushing," Dr. Katz says.
Rosacea tip:
Let steamy drinks cool down to room temperature before sipping – or order them iced.
3. Stress
According to a 2001 survey by the National Rosacea Society involving 700 people with the disorder, 91% said that emotional strain was a rosacea trigger.
Although the link between rosacea and anxiety isn't clear, experts, including Dr. Katz, often point to the "target organ" theory: Some people hold stress in their stomachs or get migraines. Others get rosacea's red glare.
Rosacea tip:
In the survey, 83% of those who used stress management techniques reported fewer outbreaks.
When you feel stressed, the National Rosacea Society suggests you take a deep breath to the count of 10, then breathe out slowly, also counting to 10. Repeat until you feel calmer.
Or practice visualization: Close your eyes and picture a scene you love – a beach, picnic spot, your patio – and sit quietly for several minutes as you do.
4. Hot baths
Soaking in the tub feels wonderful on a chilly day, but not if you have rosacea. Hot baths set off outbreaks in 53% of those surveyed in a 2010 National Rosacea Society survey of 424 patients.
Why? The hot water makes blood vessels dilate, triggering red skin, says Doris Day, M.D., a New York City dermatologist and author of
Forget the Facelift
Rosacea tip:
Keep your bath water about body temperature or cooler.
But don't go cold: Your skin doesn't like temperature extremes.
"The water should be as cool as you can stand," Dr. Day says. "You shouldn't have to acclimate to it."
And skip the heavy scrubbing – it can further irritate your skin. Use a soft cloth and a gentle hand.
5. Strenuous exercise
Don't stop exercising – just be mindful of how you do it.
Rosacea tip:
To avoid a flare-up, follow these doctor-recommended tips to keep your temperature under control when exercising:
Warm up for 5 minutes by stretching and lifting light weights before you pick up the pace.
Exercise in the early morning or evening when weather is coolest. "Or exercise in an air-conditioned room," Dr. Day advises. That means you can still go for that long run on hot days, as long as you do it on a treadmill at the gym.
Work out more often but for shorter periods.
Stay cool by drinking cold water while you exercise.
6. Alcohol
There's no truth to the myth that too much booze causes rosacea, but alcoholic drinks, particularly wine, make blood vessels open and skin flush, says Dr. Crutchfield.
Plus, drinks are dehydrating, which shrinks pores, making it easier for them to clog. (Clogged pores are the first step toward rosacea blemishes and infection.)
Alcohol is also a triple threat because it leads to poor sleep, which increases stress, and that can trigger rosacea.
Rosacea tip:
It's best to avoid alcoholic drinks if you want to avoid ruddy skin. But having rosacea doesn't mean you have to be a complete teetotaler – if you're willing to accept the consequences.
"I have several patients who say that on New Year's Eve or on their birthday, they're going to have a glass of champagne," Dr. Crutchfield says. "It's a risk that at times they're willing to accept."
And sip water to keep from getting dehydrated, further subduing this rosacea trigger.
7. Extreme hot and cold weather
Just like steamy beverages, a hot, sunny day can dilate blood vessels, leaving you rosy-cheeked.
Actually, the sun is a double whammy, because sunlight irritates the skin of as many as 61% of rosacea sufferers, according to the non-profit International Rosacea Foundation.
Cold weather is not much better because pores can clog more easily.
Rosacea tip:
Stay as close to 70˚-80˚temperatures as much as possible.
"When you go out in cold or windy weather, put on a jacket and scarf to avoid getting too cold," Dr. Day says.
If you're sensitive to sunlight, wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat year-round – and stay in the shade as much as possible, she adds.
8. Dehydration
We're made up of at least 50%-60% water, Dr. Day points out. "One important function of skin is temperature and water balance," she says.
Drinking water helps wash out toxins that otherwise clog your skin.
Rosacea tip:
Stay hydrated. Choose icy water to cool your system and keep blood vessels from dilating, the reason behind your red skin.
9. Stimulants
Rosacea's ruddiness is another good reason to cut down on caffeinated drinks, cigarettes and excessive sugar: All expand blood vessels and bring on that ruddy skin.
They also make you sweat more, which clogs pores, and increases stress by revving up your nervous system. Even artificial sweeteners like aspartame can activate a flare-up.
Rosacea tip:
Reducing stress can help cut cravings for guilty pleasures.
"People tend to have more stimulants when they're stressed – and stress is itself a stimulant," Dr. Day says.
If soda is the culprit, switch to caffeine-free to see if it's sugar or caffeine that's aggravating your condition.
"Caffeine may not be a trigger for everyone with rosacea," Dr. Day says. "But if you notice that it makes you red or flushed, [cut back]."

Any Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited ("Toronto Hydro") customer that has central air conditioning is eligible to enrol in peaksaver. Business customers are eligible if your air conditioners and water heater are approximately the same size as used by residential customers (roof-top air conditioners included). If you are a tenant and do not own your building, you will need your landlord or property manager's approval to participate.
+ return to top
Yes. By participating, you and thousands of others will allow us to reduce the strain on the electrical system during peak electricity consumption periods. By doing your part, you are making a significant contribution to conserving electricity and improving our environment.
Toronto Hydro installs a device near your central air conditioning unit to reduce the amount of electricity during peak electricity consumption periods. During these peak periods, Toronto Hydro will send a signal to your air conditioner to cycle down the appliance for a short time. Air conditioners are cycled on and off in15 minute intervals, not to exceed four hours, however the fan remains on so it can continue to cycle the cold air.
In Ontario, our electricity generation capacity serves us well during days when outdoor temperatures fall within average seasonal ranges. These days, we use more electricity in the summer than the winter, primarily because of air conditioning. When we have a heat wave of three or more days in a row, air conditioners are running non-stop and electricity demand hits peak. These also tend to be the days when smog is an issue as well.
To meet electricity demand at these peaks, it becomes more likely that we have to rely more on coal, oil and gas-fired palnts. These plants, located in Ontario, release greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants that add further to Ontario's air pollution and smog.
That's where peaksaver plays a critical role. By cycling down air conditioners, peaksaver allows us to reduce these peaks.
We are always looking for ways to help our customers and our province conserve electricity to ensure a continual supply of electricity. peaksaver helps everyone in the long run by reducing the need to import electricity and reducing the pressures on our electricity distribution system.
To qualify for peaksaver, you must have central air conditioner. Residential and business customers can also volunteer their electric water heaters too.
Typically, most people do not even notice that the device is being controlled. With peaksaver, your air conditioner fan will continue to run during the control period even though your A/C unit is being cycled down for a short time. Air conditioners are cycled off for 15 minutes out of every 30 minutes.
No, because the technology takes this into account. The remotely controlled peaksaver device reduces the electricity usage but doesn't turn off the air-conditioners.
It will not cost you anything to participate and there is no maintenance cost.
You may not see savings, but keep in mind that the times that peaksaver may be activated during the "On Peak" period under Time-of-Use rates when electricity prices are higher. When activated, your air conditioner would be cycling down during this time, potentially using less energy.
If you would like to opt out on a particular date, please call 416-542-2557 and we will schedule an exemption. You have the right to require that Toronto Hydro not cycle down your air conditioner as part of the peaksaver program for up to three (3) particular days within a calendar year provided that you call our office by 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time of the business day preceding the day during which no cycling down is requested.
Yes, if for whatever reason you are not satisfied, please call our peaksaver call centre at 1-877-487-8574 to speak to a representative.
It started in Toronto and now other utilities in Ontario are offering peaksaver.
So far, over 60,000 homes and businesses have signed up. This represents Toronto Hydro customers only.
No, peaksaver is voluntary and allows the customer to play an active role in conserving electricity and improving our environment.
You will not need to do anything. The only difference may be a very slight difference in temperature - most people will not notice a change at all.
No, participating in peaksaver is easy and requires no effort, time or investment.
Any questions can be directed to the peaksaver call centre at 1-877-487-8574.
No, the technology only works on central air conditioning systems.
No. The program is entirely voluntary.
Absolutely not. We will only have access to your central air conditioning unit.
You will only need to be home if there isn't a disconnect switch located outside next to the air conditioner compressor or if your roof-top unit is only accessible from inside your building.
The installation will be done by qualified installers working on behalf of Toronto Hydro. They are well trained and will carry appropriate liability insurance.

Back in 2010, I was fortunate enough to be challenged to a Throwdown with Bobby Flay on The Food Network. Honestly, I truly had no idea he was coming! They threw out the bait and I fell for it! At the time, the Cooking Channel was launching, and I was asked to participate in a new show called Top That Cake. Did I know how to make the best carrot cake ever? Of course . . . and off I went.
I arrived to the filming and was shocked when I saw Bobby Flay standing before me. I tried to be compose my excitement--to not botch my chance on national television. My VeryVery Carrot Cake was the favorite, and I won the throwdown challenge. The rest, as they say, is history.
As you know, we closed our retail operation in July of 2013 and every time a rerun of this show airs, people flock to our website and our phones ring off the hook. Yesterday I had a clue when calls started coming in from all over the country that a rerun of that show must have aired. 755 visitors to our website yesterday clearly indicate that there is still energy surrounding our brand and the cake that actually launched my own TV career.
What's next on my list? A cookbook. Keep up with us and our progress on The VeryVera Cookbook. We are hard at work testing recipes and compliing the stories, memories, and andedotes that made VeryVera cakes and gourmet-to-go a tradition.

Here's some gameplay of the Call of Duty 4 PC Demo in 3D with the use of the amber/blue super bowl glasses. Unfortunately, I had to downgrade the resolution and quality of the graphics in order to capture at a playable framerate (but the in-your-face-3D element definitely makes up for it!). Additionally, my machine is slightly outdated to today's typical PC gaming standards. Windows XP 32-bit (Bootcamp partition) Intel Xeon Quad 2.66GHz 2GB RAM GeForce 7300 GT If you'd like to try this on your PC, download the driver at: http://www.iz3d.com/t-dcdriver.aspx . It'll allow you to select from the amber/blue super bowl glasses, red/cyan glasses and the specific 3D mode that requires a special monitor and set of glasses ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824859001 ). Thanks to this really impressive combination of hardware/software we have today, I'm [now] a PC gamer... which means I'm not used to playing with a mouse and keyboard. :P

This paper examines the labour supply behaviour of married women in France. A sequence of models is specified and estimated which incorporate different amounts of information on observed weekly hours. In all models the distinction is drawn between search and non-participation among non-workers. We provide extensive specification diagnostics, including Heckman-Andrews tests, as well as Hausman tests for the comparison of different handlings of the hours information. It turns out that distinguishing between part-time, full-time and long hours gives virtually the same results as treating observed hours as reflecting desired hours.

I live in a neighborhood where streets are lined with grassed drainage ditches instead of sidewalks. I grew weary of mowing the sloping ditch. So, with the permission of our Department of Transportation to use the drainage easement for flowers (and with the understanding that I would not obstruct the view for residents exiting their driveways into traffic), I transformed the ditch into a flower garden. My goal was to plant a self-sustaining garden so that I would not need to do ongoing work along the roadside where I faced the hazards of residential traffic. I chose American Meadows blue flax seed for planting next to the street, because the flowers are beautiful, because the foliage is attractive, and because the plant is perennial. In my limited experience with wildflowers, I have discovered that the foliage of some becomes unattractive and brown at the base over the course of the growing season (though I have not observed this yet with blue flax). To help improve the appearance (for me and for my neighbors, some of whom are now beginning their own front yard projects), I did cautiously contend with the hazards of residential traffic to spend some time working by the roadside to plant plugs of liriope (grass) right along the edge of the street. I sprinkled blue flax seeds among the plugs. It is coming along nicely and I expect to have dainty blue flowers amidst the liriope next year (2014). Meanwhile, I am enjoying the blue flax blooms from prior year's seeding. It currently blooms behind the liriope during the spring of 2013. Photos show blue flax now blooming along with Siberian Iris that I have had and divided for decades, growing along with other wildflowers from American Meadows partial shade mix and American Meadows Eastern Red Columbine (that I started from seed in peat pellets before transplanting to the ditch in recent years). American Meadows blue flax seed germinates well. The plants, with attractive foliage and power-blue blooms, are beautiful.

starting from seed is a little difficult unless you're able to water some every day but once they get going they are beautiful when they are in full bloom in the morning or on overcast days. The plants themselves are very delicate as are the flowers, so don't expect a thick stemmed flower.

About Me Avid Gardener
Comments about American Meadows Blue Flax Seeds:
I use this product to cover areas of a hillside that are problematic. Blue flax provides long bloom time and fantastic blue color in abundance. Also pushes out weeds. Easy to grow and self sustaining.

About Me Casual Hobbyist
Great seed! I got hundreds of viable plants from this seed that bloomed all summer and are still blooming this fall. This is a hardy native plant in my area so it grows well in sandy loam soil. I got more plants than I expected though and they bloomed more frequently than usual.

Follow American Meadows Instructions!
By Xane
from Estill Springs, TN
I had planned to use the Blue flax as a scented backdrop flower for a wedding reception but purple clover took over the plantings VERY quickly. Clover encourages the pollinators, but Blue Flax was expected. I failed to eliminate clover seeds existing in the tilled ground before I broadcast planted Flax and Cosmos. Seedlings made a good initial showing and I found some precious blooms, but clover grows faster. So this fall I will follow American Meadows instructions before I waste the seed!

Beautiful periwinkle!
By Melissa
from Zionsville
If you love a pop of long lasting 'periwinkle blue' in your sunny garden,makes a pretty whispy border, this is the seed for you. Good germination, hardy in the hot midwest summer and a late spring to summer bloom-will reseed for next year. Hardy and pretty in one package-really enjoyed this flax addition to my garden!
Flax seed
By mojodoggie

Germanation rate was less than 10%. Really disappointed. I planted the flax around the edge of my potatos, hoping that they would help deter potato beetles. Almost no plants. Ended up spraying the potatos anyway, hoped that I wouldn't have to.

I added Blue Flax in a fall planting to several beds that were partially shaded. The flowers are so lovely in the cool weather. I wish it was more competitive with the weeds but then maybe it will fill over time.
Truly amazing blue color!
By Kellie
from Pearce, AZ
These are the most amazing blue I've seen in a "wildflower." Every year sections of my property are blanketed in these little blue beauties. I simply tossed the seeds onto the ground and watered them in...these flowers are easy to grow, multiply annually and just could not be more beautiful.

Lovely Blue
By Allison

Blue Flax is a truly lovely blue. Although rather short lived, it self-seeds, so you will continue to have flowers for years to come. Each flower lasts only one day, but when planted en mass, the effect beautiful, lasting many days.

Johnny Weir Is Officially Retiring — But Not Disappearing!
Perez Hilton: Noooooo! The end has come! Johnny Weir is OFFICIALLY retiring, but that's not the last we've seen of the 29-year-old figure skater! He JUST announced his retirement on the TODAY show, and we're strangely fine with it…. because he then shared his plans to work with NBC at the 2014 Sochi Olympics!! Russia's anti-gay laws be damned!!
Here's what he said:
"It is surreal writing about my career as if it had happened to someone else and to actually write the words, 'I am retiring from competitive figure skating.' I have cried my way through writing this entire column not because I am sad, or that I'll miss training or falling or being so nervous I thought my head would explode, or starving or the glory of victory or the agony of defeat, I cry because of the memories that have shaped my life."
Johnny's been a staple on our Olympic figure skating team for a long while now, and we truly are bummed to see him go!

PHOENIX -- Arizona is one of a handful of states to currently require all employers to check the immigration status of potential hires, but that could soon change.
The Legal Workforce Act would make using the online employment verification program E-Verify a national mandate.
The bill passed a House committee last week and now heads to the House floor for debate.
Its primary sponsor is Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who wrote in an editorial for The Hill: "A federal E-Verify law could open up job opportunities for these unemployed Americans while eliminating the jobs magnet that draws millions of illegal workers to the U.S."
Critics say the program would do the opposite, costing employers unnecessary time and money.
"The system fails more often than it works," said Alex Nowrasteh, a conservative policy analyst with the Washington D.C. Competitive Enterprise Institute. "Fifty-four percent of undocumented immigrants that get checked by E-Verify system are not identified as undocumented immigrants."
Nowrasteh says one of the problems is that undocumented workers often use fake identification to beat the system.
Such was the case with Cristino Torres-Romero, who was arrested Friday and charged in the hit-and-run that killed Valley real estate developer Daniel Pollack.
According to court paperwork, Torres-Romero assumed the fake identity "Benito Valles, Junior." He used that ID to get a job at a Tempe California Pizza Kitchen.
The company released the following statement:
"California Pizza Kitchen is committed to complying with all state and federal immigration laws. We use the federal government's E-Verify program and require that individuals provide valid documentation when confirming the work eligibility of all new hires. CPK does not knowingly or intentionally employ undocumented workers. "

Guest Author - Melissa Hardiman
Before you can create or set a mood, you must first consider what mood you are trying to invoke. Are you trying to invoke a calming mood or sense of serenity, or maybe an energetic mood. You may be trying to alleviate a stressful, or fatigue filled day. Whatever mood you are trying to set or symptom you are trying to alleviate the sense of smell can be a very valuable tool. There are literally thousands upon thousands of scent combinations to choose from.
Floral scents, like rose, lavender, and lilac are said to invoke feelings of comfort and relaxation. Citrus scents, such as, lime, orange, or lemon are said to invoke an energetic vibe. Herbal scents like peppermint and spearmint are also said to have energy invoking properties as well as providing mental clarity. Your spicy notes can go either way when paired with a complementing scent. Scents like cinnamon, and ginger can be used in a calming fashion when used with floral notes, or an energetic mood with paired with citrus type scent. Fruity and bakery type scents are more of a playful nature sometimes bringing back memories of childhood. Natural type scents such as fir, and cedar, and eucalyptus all have different mood types. Fir and evergreen scents may bring about a holiday feel, while eucalyptus is said to have medicinal properties to alleviate cold symptoms. Using scents that are considered to have aphrodisiac properties could set a romantic mood. Patchouli, musk, jasmine, ylang/ylang being the more obvious choices, while scents like vanilla and cinnamon also invoke a romantic feel.
Mixing different scents is also a good idea when creating a mood, maybe mixing a cinnamon, and orange for a different energy feel. You could also tone down a spicy note by adding a floral note and thereby creating a different mood. Adding a sweet scent such as a vanilla to a spicy or a citrus could tone it down slightly, and create a more calming effect as mentioned above.
Having a better insight to what scents invoke what moods is a useful tool when choosing everything from your bath and body products to your home fragrances. Whatever you may be trying to say with your scent, dont be afraid to mix and match to find the perfect scent to create that perfect mood. There is no wrong way to create your mood, however be sure to keep in mind what might work for you, may not work for everyone.

The lapping bar is used to lap the rings to improve alignment, reduce stress on the scope and improve the grip of the rings on the scope. It also serves as a lever to rotate dovetail rings into place. Lapping the rings can also minimize or prevent ring marring of the scope.
Kit includes:
• Two 1" alignment bars
• 1" lapping bar
• lapping bar handle
