(StatePoint) Whether you're making a fast trip to the store or leaving on a two-week vacation, are you confident that locking your doors is enough to keep your home safe and secure?
You can go a step further by investing in impact-resistant laminate glass in your windows, according to experts. Engineered to deter forced entry by intruders, these energy-efficient windows also resist high winds and flying debris during severe storms and reduce unwanted outside noise from entering your home.
Similar in design to impact-resistant glass found in code-driven coastal area homes, special laminated glass known as SafePoint glass offers extra protection for homes, 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
"This glass is designed to help make a home a safe haven," says Ken Kubus of Simonton Windows [1]. "In addition to helping protect the home, laminated glass provides excellent energy efficiency and serves as a barrier against heat transfer. It also plays a role in lowering heating and cooling costs while keeping interiors comfortable. And it screens out much of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage carpets, furnishings and artwork."
There are several other things homeowners can do to help keep their families safe at home -- especially when it comes to windows:
o Children should be taught at a young age to stay away from windows for their own safety. Parents can help safeguard children by keeping furniture (including cribs) and anything else a child can climb, away from windows.
o If your home has double hung windows, open only the top part of the window that children cannot reach, to allow for ventilation.
o Never push on window screens, as they will not support the weight of a child or family pet. Remember, the primary purpose of a screen is to keep insects outside.
o Lock windows when not in use to protect against intruders and make it more difficult for curious children to open windows.
o Do not paint or nail windows shut. Every window in the home that is designed to be opened should be operational in case of an emergency.
o Refrain from nailing or attaching decorative lights to the interior or exterior of window frames.
o Plant shrubs or grass, and place "soft landscaping" like bark or mulch, directly underneath windows to help lessen the impact should someone accidently fall out of a window.
More window safety tips are available by calling 1-800-SIMONTON to request a free copy of a booklet entitled, "A few things to think about when thinking about your home."
From planning emergency escape routes to installing safe doors and windows, there are many different things you can do to help keep your family safe at home even when you are not there to protect them.

Balitong Curry (Gulai Balitong)
As a big fan of shellfish, there is a ritual that I always practice whenever I go home to Penang–scouting for the scarce shellfish species and had a fix or two (or three) of them. They are the kind of shellfish that I constantly crave in the United States, but could never make them here because they are simply unavailable in the US.
This past trip home, I made no exception. The morning after I arrived, I went to the nearest wet market in search of fresh balitong (a kind of Malaysian sea snails) and gyowa (Hokkien name for a type of local clams with very sweet flesh). I was handsomely rewarded with abundant fresh supplies of them…
When I was growing up, my mother and my aunt would prepare a balitong concoction that I absolutely adore–made with freshly ground spice paste, coconut milk, sweet potatoes, and mung bean noodles/tang hoon (optional). The very thought of this sweet and savory curry never fails to make my mouth water. After consulting both my mother and my aunt, I cooked up a pot of balitong and sweet potato curry. Unfortunately, my mother is no longer cooking due to her health condition, but my balitong did win over my father. He hadn't had this dish for a very long time that he finished more than half of them in no time. Eagerly, he sucked the flesh out from the spiral shell and devoured them with great satisfaction. When I asked him if I had cooked it well, he said "ho chiak" (meaning delicious in Hokkien dialect) and that was the sweetest accolade possible!
I have to confess that I used a tad too much ground spice paste in this first trial of mine, but it was tasty nonetheless. I am just glad that I now learn another much-cherished family recipe, one that I will keep with me forever…
Related Recipes/Posts:
Note: I didn't keep track of my measurement when making this dish; I also bought freshly ground spice paste from the wet market, so I don't have a scientific recipe that I can share. If you are interested in the recipe, please email me and I will try to share the cooking method with you.

I've never seen shellfish like this, looks really delicious!
wow! those shellfish are pretty.. and i love sweet potato. i make stir fry with it :)
RM, this is fantastic! I am a big fan of whelk or sea snails. And I believe cooking them in spicy paste is wonderful! Lovely photos, too!
I'm a fan of balitong too! When I was a kid in Penang, my mom used to cook balitong or cockles as afternoon snacks!
Btw, i didn't know that the other clam is called gyowa… Other than balitong and cockles that I can recognise by the look, I call everything else "la-la". ;-)
imagine if one sucks out the curry juice from the dark chambers like a hiss of thunder & the thing goes oozing out the other end OMG !
these is such a beutiful dish, i can tell i would want to eat about 50 of those little beauties! so tropical and exotic, i'm a jealous blogger.
seput sedut. sedap!
In Tagalog, "Gulai" means "vegetable." What does it mean in Malaysian?
it's somewhat like a dish with gravy…usually contains coconut milk in it…hope it help…:-)
This looks wonderful, Rasa. The balitong don't look very big. Is there much meat inside them?
The fish market is one of the first places I head to too whenever I go home to visit :)
Your email is not working. Is there an alternate email?
I have never eat balitong cooked this way as i usually have it stir-fried kam heong style.
Gosh, you are really hanging the carrot in front of me! The last time I had that was in Penang last year at Bali Hai Gurney Drive. It was soooo good.This kinda food, you gotta have friends eating together, slurping and sucking! hmmmm.
Ming — my alternate email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Having problem with my other email now…
i love balitong but have problem sucking out the flesh. not used to it yet i guess. many a times after sucking hard both end, still the flesh refused to come out. can be very frustrating eating them this way.
I had these snails in VN a few summers ago in a coconut curry lemongrass sauce and it was sooo good. I wish I could find those snails here too! :(
That looks delicious! I like discovering new shellfish so I'll take note of these just in case I get to visit Malaysia one day :)
er… where did my comments went to? i thought i had already made a comment but i don't see it.
anyway… my comment.
i love balitong but i have problem eating them as most of the time despite sucking hard a few times, i find it hard to get the flesh out. did not 'master' the technique yet i guess! :)
I'm no pro but have indeed picked up a trick or two from my "kampung boy" father. He taught me the art of eating balitong. The trick is to suck from the back end first. This places the 'flesh' flushed tight at the back end. Now, with a strong suck from the front end, the momentum should get the flesh out easy.
Thank you for stopping by and replying to my comment!
Hmm Gulai Gulai…Vegetable Curry :) yum!
No way to find these small beast here ;-) but i can smell your curry here ;-) cheers
OMG RM, I haven't had balitong in ages! I love sucking their sweet flesh out and eating them is not exactly the most pleasant experience for others but I don't care, it's fun! HEhe…are you in Penang now? Will u still be around for CNY? Cos I'm going back to Malaysia for CNY, my "kampung" is Penang! :D
We have this shellfish in Thailand, but I have not seen it here in Seattle. Looks good though! Yum!
Looks tasty and delicious!
hehehe… there was once I could not even suck the meat out of the balitong.. pai sheh cos I wasted about 20 over balitong until I decided not to try anymore.
Hi RM,
Balitung is my fave!!! My godmother will cook it – Malay style for me – she knows I love it so much! You should try this type of cooking – Balitung masak lemak with nenas… Put chillis, fresh slices of pineapples, coconut milk, …. and the usual onions, asam, etc. Guaranteed satisfaction! I hope she cooks some for me to blog about it soon…
Beautiful photos. I don't normally eat snails, but would be willing to give your dish a try.
Your photography is simply amazing. You must be super talented and artistic.
BTW, did you go to art school? The photographs here all look very professional.
What's "balitong" in English?
One of my childhood all time favourite dish!! Though these snails are really hard to find nowadays in Cambodia..:( I haven't had them for years!!

Catalytic converter failure is common and may cause a Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Repairpal verified 2006 Mercedes-Benz C350 4MATIC problems
Replace air filter when replacing failed mass air flow sensor
The mass air flow sensor tends to fail causing poor fuel economy and Check Engine light illumination. The engine air filter should be replaced when the mass air flow sensor is replaced; a dirty filter can allow debris to damage the new sensor.
Check Engine Light and Engine Misfire
Failed spark plug wires and/or ignition coils can cause intermittent misfires (rough running); the Check Engine Light may also illuminate. Diagnoses of the ignition system will be necessary to determine which components are at fault.
Check Engine Light Due to Faulty Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
"Crank no Start" Due to Failed Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance. Communicating these specific symptoms to your technician can save diagnostic time.
Tire Wear Caused By Worn Front Thrust Link Bushings
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
HVAC Oder Due to Mildew in Heater Box
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) heater box is susceptible to mildew buildup. This can result in a musty odor from the HVAC system, most noticeable when the system is first turned on.
Flush brake fluid every two years
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Clicking Noise From Behind Center of Dash
A repetitive clicking noise from behind the center area of the dash panel is usually caused by a broken stepper motor actuating arm. The actuating arm controls the direction of air flow in the climate control system. Disassembly of the center console will be required to access and change the broken arm with the updated, reinforced part.
Rough Shifting of Automatic Transmission
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
Inside Grab Handles/Upholstery/Door Trim Panels May Delaminate
Inside grab handles, the upholstery on the center console cover, and door trim panels can delaminate. Most commonly replacement of the affected part is necessary.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Knocking Noise Over Bumps Due to Worn Sway Bar Link Joints
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.
The Differential May Develop Leaks From the Seals or Cover
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
SRS Light Due to Spilled Liquid on Buckle or Under Seat
The SRS (airbag) light can come on if liquids are spilled into the seat belt buckles, or if the liquid pools underneath the seat and gets into the electrical connector for the seat belt pretensioner. Damaged components will require replacement to restore proper airbag operation.

"Drink this, my lord. You'll feel better."
"Thank you… Narthan?"
"Yes, my lord?"
"What exactly happened last night?"
"We went to The Swan's Nest, sir."
"My lord, you indulged in too much drink, you…"
"What did I do?"
"Forgive me, my lord, but you took Beleth in your arms, kissed her soundly and declared your undying love for her, and bought everyone in the tavern a dozen rounds."
"Beleth… She's…?"
"The blonde wench, my lord."
"Ah. Yes. What else?"
"Er, there was nothing else, my lord."
"If I do not hear it from you, I'll hear it elsewhere."
"Well, there was the epic storytelling contest."
"I told an epic?"
"As fantastic a tale as I've ever heard, sir."
"What was it about?"
"Oh, many things, sir: a stolen princess, a massive armada of our ships, a great wooden swan, and a ten-year war, for starters. And that was before you were enchanted by a quartet of scantily-clad Elves, or held captive by Yavanna Herself."
"Yes, sir."
"Did I say anything else especially embarrassing?"
"Aside from accidentally declaring war on Umbar: no."
"My father must not hear of this, Narthan."
"I've already worked out an alibi, my lord."

NH House needs to OK SB 126
Thursday, April 11, 2013
In late March, we held two editorial board sessions to discuss Senate Bill 126 which would make significant additions to an existing state law known as the Dealers Bill of Rights. While SB 126 is primarily directed at better protecting auto dealers from abuses by manufacturers, it also adds protections for tractor and motor sports dealers.
After our endorsement, we again heard from Daniel Gage, communications director for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. Gage was polite, but suggested that he didn't get an adequate opportunity to address many of the specific concerns expressed by dealers.
We also emailed a copy of an information sheet produced by the dealers titled, "SB 126 Myth Busters."

I have had a Progressive canister vacuum for quite a few years now. When I saw this little thing, I was pretty impressed. I wanted something for doing a quick pick up in my entry and kitchen. I have 2 cats and a dog - and a hubby who loves woodworking in his garage. Then of course it's spring and all kinds of sand gets tracked in as well. Between the animal hair, sand and sawdust, it has picked it all up with little effort. This handheld is exactly what I was looking for and it does a very nice job. It isn't meant to be a deep clean machine, but for those times when you need something quick. All the attachments from my Progressive canister attach flawlessly. It does get a little heavy, but I attribute that to being a higher quality vac. I have no regrets as of yet, but I have only had it a few days. If there is a problem, I will repost...

This was an excellent product that we got for a clearance price of 28.00. We were not sure why they were on clearance, but we ended up buying three, and my mother-in-law sold one to a lady waiting in line with us, waiting to pay. It has very good suction and works great as a handheld vaccuum, but we really got it for the abilty to attach to the Kenmore canister vacuum. It works great for doing the stairs and small spills, so I don't have to carry the canister up and down the steps.

This machine is just the right size for small jobs. It has great suction and a long enough cord. Great!

Pros Powerful suction Easy to maneuver Cons Dirt canister is small Filter has to be cleaned every time dirt canister is emptied and requires 24 hours to dry vacuum wand (topples) can no longer stand by itself when Evo is attached

This little powerful EVO makes tidying job easy without hassles on getting my floor vacuum that I used to clean up all rooms. Since I use kitchen and dining area more often, this is always simple to fix the mess not to border with other rooms.

I would like to join in!
Yesterday while visiting Saks in Greenwich, CT, I came across a display of the 6 Dolce & Gabbana "Velvet" fragrances.
Sales Associate Vera kindly gave me the following samples for the purpose of a sample pass:
• 3 samples of Velvet Love (carnation, ylang-ylang and pepper-- strong carnation note here, creamy, very like CDG Carnation.)
• 3 samples of Velvet Desire (gardenia, tuberose and frangipani-- not so strong nor long-lasting, not overwhelming)
• 1 sample of Velvet Vetiver (which I decanted into smaller glass vials so that there will be 3 of these as well, one per group.) (vetiver, galbanum and black fig-- I smelled bergamot and fig; seems like it could have been an Hermessence-- transparent.)
Samples of the other 3 fragrances in the line-- Velvet Sublime, Velvet Wood and Velvet Patchouli-- were not available, unfortunately, but the Patchouli in particular is worth trying if you get the chance.)
Vera asked me if I make money doing this and I assured her that it is completely non-profit. In fact, the opposite is true-- we all spend the cost of postage and packaging to mail the samples to one another-- but the opportunity to test fragrances that Basenotes members might not otherwise have access to, and the ability of many other people to read the reviews, makes this an excellent use of samples.
The samples are large, 2 mls each in dabber vials.
I would like to form 3 groups to sample these, up to 3 people per group, depending on how much interest there is.
The first recipient will test and post any impressions they wish to share, then mail to the next person, etc. The final recipient keeps the samples.
First 3 members, I will need your name/mailing address if I don't already have it.
Next people in each group, send your address to the person who will ship to you.
I will ship them as soon as we have the first 3 group members. USA only.
Please sign up by posting below.
Group 1: mailed
1. southerngardens
Group 2: mailed
1. kalli
Group 3: mailed
1. Genie Jeannie
Edit 12/15/12: Sample pass is now closed due to lack of further interest.

Thanks for thinking of me, lucasai & 30R. These do sound interesting but I just wouldn't be able to get them done in a timely manner; the monster Goutal pass just arrived and I've barely made a dent. I'm afraid I've finally met a sample pass I can't squeeze in.
Thank you for doing this yet again, 30R! That was quite a generous donation you secured for the gang! As soon as I finish the Goutals, I will be finally following your example; have a little sample pass I've been putting together!
Folks, speak up and join in! Sampling groups are one of the very best ways for perfume lovers to learn!

I am interested in trying these out. Been wanting to try that Velvet Love specifically for that carnation. Primrose may be interested in that Velvet Wood maybe? Cause of the leather note?
Thanks 30R.
You're in, kalli.
Unfortunately I was unable to get a sample of Velvet Wood.

For some reason, I didn't notice all the ones you had, lol. Thanks for including me though.
Bumping to say I am shipping groups 1 and 2 today (dropping off in P.O. after-hours slot.)
Anyone else?
Daughter is using computer but I will check back later.

30R thanks for sharing your notes on the fragrances.

D&G -- currently -- do not make anything for this skin, Domenico and Stefano seem to be targeting an entirely different audience as of late.
That said, thanks 30R for yet another sample pass and for being a window into the fragrant world for many of us.
Lots of room for more testers, ladies and gents.

So, I got my packet, thank you!
Well, I went right to Love..first thought from sniff out of vial, 'higher quality than expected.' Then I applied it, this is *spicy*! Now I like spice here and there but wow, spicy! So spicy, I felt a burn on the skin, lol! The carnation note was impressive though the spice really kind of overpowers the carnation a bit. But both the spice and carnation are strong in this one, so the carnation is right there along with the spice but the spice is much stronger than the carnation. The carnation note is much, much more present than in that Sweet William. In fact, this is kind of what I hoped Sweet William would be like..though, could use just a little less spice. Yes, it's a bit like the CDG(though, much, much spicier) it has that green element of the carnation like the CDG does for a while. I don't like that aspect, it's too green of a note for me. The CDG, imo, is more green. It's like the scent towards the base of the carnation flower where it's green on the petals. I'd like a scent that doesn't have that green to it as much. The center of a carnation doesn't smell too green to me, though, it's been a while since I've sniffed a carnation, I'd really like it to be less green. I soaked some carnation petals in some pure alcohol to see what happened a while back, lol, gosh, did that smell *bad*. The green notes were just so strong and awful, lol, don't know why I did that lol, wanted to see what happened. But ya, there is that green aspect I don't like but the green doesn't last too long, I would say in the CDG it lasts longer. So, happy about that. The spice is really too much almost, though it's nicer when out in the cold, then the spice was really alright. I liked this scent more after 2-3 hours..the cinnamon came out more(I am going to guess there is cinnamon, though I don't see it listed in the notes) and the carnation was still present, glad to say, without that green aspect to it. Notes appeared to be pepper and others as listed, clove and cinnamon...I also want to say that there was a very light musk added as well, not sure but I think so. Though it wasn't enough to where it bothered me much if that was the case. There is a ginger or gingerbread aspect to it I'd say as well. Not sure why it burned on the skin, my guess is the cinnamon oil or extract if it was used. Or maybe it was an overdose of pepper, lol, or both. So, if the spices were turned down and the green note was less, I'd say, we got a winner here. The green note, like I said, doesn't last too long but the carnation is still present later which I like very much. So, when it dried down I found myself really liking it and kind of wanting a bottle! So, all is well that ends well! I'd get it for the dry down, though, I would apply to maybe more clothing and less on the skin, lol. I was impressed overall. I still haven't found *the* carnation scent but this is the first one where I wouldn't mind having a bottle. It's sort of close to what I'd want..without so much of that spice, though if it's cold..I kinda want the spice! I wanted to keep the sample, so that's good. I've tried Sweet William(no carnation), Bellodgia(way too musky, carnations should never be musky, imo, lol), CDG(too green), vintage Molinard Oeillet(super waxy with a salty, play-doh aspect, not a very strong carnation note, it's there but it's more on the soapy side, really soapy imo, not sure if it was the sample but definitely a bad 'carnation' imo). So, I was happy to find the D&G, which is really getting to be much more up my alley. Like I said, there was that green note but didn't last as long as the CDG so, was happy about that. I very much liked the dry down, though still pretty spicy, definitely one for winter.
The prices of these, wow. Well, that's a bummer! Are these limited editions by the way?

Thanks for that, kalli.
There are several other potent carnations you may wish to sample someday: Lorenzo Villoresi Garofano (Italian for carnation) and Santa Maria Novella Garofano. I find both of them more clovey than I like, though. Personally my favorite is the CDG, but even so, I find I don't want to wear it. Carnation, like gardenia, seems to be a floral note that I like to smell briefly.

Thank you for sharing your impressions Kalli! I love the scent of carnation, so, I'm glad you found this one OK. Can't wait to sniff them myself!
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
I was looking up Cartier L'Heure Convoitee, looks like I may have to seek a sample of that from somewhere perhaps. Cristobal Paris and the one by DSH sound interesting too. Maybe Donna by LV as well..though it's more about the rose it looks like. Nothing beats the real carnation flower though huh?.
Well, I've been trying to hold back & not be such a "pass piggie", but the sound of that spicy carnation is sure tempting! Is that spot for group 3 still open, 30 Roses?
Yes, I'll mail it tomorrow!

Hello Ladies! I have gotten my package today and I will give you my impressions in the next few days, if that is ok? I have already scented myself this AM for the synchronized Friday.
Best wishes
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Good! I shipped the samples to Genie Jeannie this morning.
Hopefully a few more people will sign up to try these, but if not, I will close the thread in 2 weeks and you three can keep your samples.

I was seeking out prices for decants/samples for the D&G..STC and TPC are super expensive. 60 bucks for 8 ml? TPC, 77 bucks for 8 ml? I mean, really? No way. Who is going to buy that? It would be better to just save for the 50ml retail bottle.
Nope! LOL. I did a small sniff out of the vial, pretty much all I want to do! lol. Lol, when I first heard about these scent names, I thought of Valentine's Day..maybe a velvet box of chocolates with that Velvet Love. lol. The velvet part I find a little funny.
Good Morning! Well, I have tried all three of the Velvet's and I just wanted to start by saying they all smelled wonderful in the vials , but they all three shared the same problem with me. There longevity was poor even though they are EDP's and with short longevity comes low sillage. I have normal to dry skin skin and my skin will usually eat and EDT fragrance for lunch unless it's a powerhouse, but I usually fair better with the parfums.
All three also seemed to open up so quickly it was hard to distinguish one note from the next. It's hard to know if it was contributable to my untrained nose, poor perfumery or my skin type?
VELVET VETIVER: is supposed to be a fragrance inspired by the Mediterranean summer. The composition is a mixture vetiver and galbanum mixed with fig. This was lovely when I first applied it for about half an hour with the vetiver and green galbanum opening the show, but I never got the scent of fig. It closed so fast that it was lost on me. However, I wanted Velvet Vetiver to go on forever! it was wonderful during it's short life on me of just about an hour and a half. I love Vetiver and mixed with the soft, not sharp, notes of the galbanum was heavenly even though someone stole my fig! LOL A definite unisex frag as well.
VELVET LOVE: Is a fragrance inspired by carnations. The composition is a mixture of carnation, ylang-ylang and pepper. Velvet Love opens with a blast of ylang-ylang that if had have lasted to long could become cloying, yet the carnation came in and lightened the frag somewhat, but as with the Velvet Vetiver it happenes so quickly or is so well done that it was almost hardly noticed. I know I never did get a wiff of pepper before the frag closed on me. It lasted a respectable time of 4.5 hours and sillage was good! It's not frag a male could get away with IMO.
VELVET DESIRE: Is supposed to give a sense of the Renaissance period with a compostion of Gardenia, Sweet Tuberose and Frangipani. What can I say about Velvet Desire....It's SWEET! It was hard for me to tell where the Gardenia, tuberose and frangipani left and began on me. I could distinguish the gardenia throughout the entire composition which was lovely , but it was just too cloying. Thank goodness it only lasted about 2.5 hours on me and the sillage was above average. Another that a man could absolutely not wear.
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Well, went to the vetiver. This kind of reminds me of Bleu De Chanel with a light coconut note in there? It was dry, citrus at first then becomes creamy and a bit balmy. Something a bit sweet. This is masculine to me..smells like a men's scent one would smell at like Hollister or A&F. Notes, I would say lime, maybe coconut, vetiver and musk? Clean and masculine. I don't see citrus listed but this smells very lime-y, green-yellow citrus. Citrus-y, balmy, a bit musky. The 'coconut' note doesn't last too long and then the fume becomes more transparent and musk-like, while keeping the citrus, then the citrus fades a bit and the musk-like note comes out more. There is a sweetness that stays in the background for a bit, a light sweet but not overly fruity or anything. Stays balmy for a while.
Lol, I looked it up, guess there is fig, a note I have no clue about. Others said they picked up a coconut note as well. Not really my thing as I don't want to smell like a men's dept store frag. I am not too familiar with vetiver..I have smelled Sycomore and I would say this is very different from that one. Sycomore is way, way smoky and thick with a lot less citrus. D&G is more clean, lighter and smells more 'mainstream' I suppose one could say, like something from Hollister. Longevity isn't all that great on the D&G. Scent almost disappears after an hour.
The Desire, very light dab of this, lol obviously not my fave flowers goin on here, lol. Too me, it's a very strong floral with strong animalic notes, musk. It's pretty straight forward, lots of tuberose, a dose of gardenia and a bit of frangipani. I am not too familiar with frangipani but from what I've smelled of it I'd say there is enough just to break this up from being a straight tuberose/gardenia scent. Plays a decent role in this I think. A lot of tuberose in this. Smelled something sweet & fruity as well, strawberry? Fruit isn't listed but I'd say this has a fruity element in there, strawberry would be a guess, not sure. A sweeter, tuberose scent. If you like Fracas, this is for you.

Got my package of scents & will test them out tomorrow. Thank you 30 Roses (& Vera from Saks)!! What generously sized sample bottles they give out! Can't wait to test them...
Nice reviews,southerngardens! Sounds like we needed to call you flowergardens that day. Thanks for being such a good sport.
Kalli, glad to see we actually got a tuberose/gardenia scent on you & you survived the experience. Good for you! I know what your reference to Fracas means though!!
Well, I just thought, I signed up for the pass, I guess I should test it out..even though I know I won't like it. lol. I signed up for that carnation and it actually ended up being on my want list, so thanks 30R! It really is a good winter fume.
Yes, kalli, I found it the nicest of the three.

Thank you 30R for the pass, very nice of you!
My apologies for being so late with my reviews! Been down with the flu & scentless for a while. (Don't catch this one folks...very, very nasty! ) But it was refreshing to perk myself up with some new scents this morning, courtesy of 30 Roses!
I started out with Velvet Love, as I was looking forward to this one the most. It opens up sweet & spicy, with my beautiful ylang taking center stage. Rather than pepper, I detect a distinct note of clove. As the scent progresses the ylang gives way to the spicier carnation & the bite of pepper becomes more apparent. Wow, this one is heating up! The sweetness is no longer in evidence, as the carnation & pepper battle for dominance. It takes a while for the pepper to lose its pungency, but the drydown ends up as the spicy carnation scent I had anticipated. I think I would personally prefer a little more ylang to soften the rough edges of Velvet Love, but it certainly delivers on the scent it's intended to be.
Given my history with the notes in Velvet Desire, I was a little hesitant to dab it on my skin. I was pleasantly surprised. It opens as a very sweet, fresh floral bouquet. To my nose there is a hint of jasmine, with the tuberose & gardenia lacking the meaty aspect that I dislike. There also seems to be a hint of fruit, as Kalli detected. The progression of the scent is quite linear, with tuberose finally dominating in the drydown. While this is not to my taste, Velvet Desire is a very sweet, youthful scent that will please those with a passion for bold white florals.
Velvet Vetiver is the most difficult scent for me to review, as I'm not familiar with the notes of vetiver and galbanum. But I will say that this is my favorite scent of the trio! The opening is fresh & citrusy, and I do detect the fig note. (I think I stole your fig, Southerngardens. ) It reminds me of something familiar & comforting, but I can't place the association. While it does have more of a masculine vibe, I do find it perfectly acceptable as a unisex scent that I am happy to wear. A very soft & well-rounded scent - just beautiful!
Thank you for yet another generous pass, 30 Roses! You continue to make this a more fragrant world!!
Thanks Geanie Jeanie for your wonderful reviews of the Velvet Line. I knew I was missing that fig! LOL
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!

Customer Ratings:
I purchased after reading positive reviews with the view to reducing fine lines on my forehead.
I have dry to combination skin. I tried three times in two weeks. My face felt stingy and found breakouts every time after using it. It did not improve my skin complexion, it instead dried up my skun and increased fine lines of my forehead despite I followed by moisturizer gel. This is definitely not the skin care product for me.
Thanks for your review! We're sorry this didn't work for you. Most likely, your skin is sensitive to one or more of the ingredients in this exfoliant and you experienced what's known as an irritant contact dermatitis. This reaction can resemble acne breakouts, but is not true acne. Please contact us for a refund or exchange.
I had a sample of the PC 10% AHA lotion and applied to my face because of some photo damage. I was so impressed by how in just ONE use - it became lighter! So I bought this product because I read that gel-formulated products works faster. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't a high enough percentage of AHA. For me, I found that the AHA lotion and the Resist 10% AHA Weekly treatment (I use it daily) works better. I didn't take off stars because its more my skin's fault, not the product.
This product is great! As others have said, it smooths on easily (you only need a little bit) and absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave your skin sticky or greasy either which is nice since I use a moisturizer over it. Always apply sunblock over this in the daytime! It really does increase photo-sensitivity. This REALLY works well layered under the PC retinol serum in the silver pump. I've been using that for a while and definitely noticed an improvement in skin texture when I added this AHA.
My skin always looks smooth, clear, and even in the morning after using it at night. I will definitely purchase this again.
I used this exfoliant on my forehead and ever-so-sensitive cheeks, and in just a few days my face was smoother than ever before. I will always repurchase this, as it's become a staple of my regimen.
I have only been using this for about a week and I am already in love! I have recently revamped my skincare routine with Paula's Choice products and product recommendations. I think this has by far made the biggest difference! I don't really like using scrubs on my face because I have dry skin and it always leaves it felling even drier... plus, they can be too harsh for my sensitive-ish skin. This has made my skin look so much younger and softer!
This product has changed my skin! I've struggled with 13 years worth of acne and hyperpigmentation, and this product is slowly fading all of it. Breakouts are a rarity these days thanks to a combination of this product and an oral androgen blocker prescribed by my dermatologist.
I really wanted to try out this product,(After trying the AMAZING 10% weekly AHA treatment) however, right as I was about to order it came to my attention- parabens!. I know it is used in this formulation as a preservative, but no other AHA product nor the BHA gel includes this as the preservative. I am so very disappointed not to be able to try this likely excellent gel however I have met sufficient research linking parabens to breast cancer and finding traces of it in breast tumors. sigh..Darn
Thanks for your review! Sadly, the information about parabens and their link to breast cancer has been widely taken out of context and has actually been refuted, as we discuss in this article. Unfortunately, though, once negative information about a group of ingredients takes hold, it's hard to convince people that the ingredienrs are safe as used. For that reason, Paula's Choice has been phasing parabens out of our products, with the 8% AHA Gel scheduled to be paraben-free by next year. In the meantime, though, we want to assure you that there is NO harm is using the current formula that contains parabens. It is safe and approved for sale around the world.
I have dry, non acne-prone skin. I bought this to help combat flaky skin and fade acne PIH from my teenage years. I've been using it every other day (alternate with 2% BHA) for about 2 weeks now and have visible results. My skin no longer flakes under foundation and my PIH has lightened. This product also does not irritate my skin and does not feel tacky like the 2% BHA gel does. I have encouraged my mother to try this for her dark spots and fine lines and probably be ordering another for her.
I was lucky to learn about AHA in my early 20's & have used it every day since. AHA gets all the credit for the constant compliments about my skin that I've received for the past 25 years! Well, AHAs and sunblock. I've used this AHA for the past 10 yrs - it's a consistently high quality product with a long shelf life (smart packaging). It never irritates and keeps my sensitive skin bright and smooth. Whether you are 20ish or 40ish (or any other age) AHA should be part of your daily routine.
Yet another winner from the Skin Recovery line. I have hormonal acne along the jaw line, oily t-zone and very sensitive, dry cheeks. I use this along with Rx Tretinoin 0.04%, the skin recovery toner and serum. Since adding this to my nightly routine, my t-zone is starting to normalize and my flaky, uneven skin has become smooth. Yes, this does "perfect" my skin. Just because you have oily, acne prone skin does not necessarily mean you need harsh, drying products. Give this line a try.
One pump every morning is working well with retina-a 0.025 every night to manage breakouts. This product smells a teeny tiny bit like vinegar. Spreads easily and soaks in quickly. Dries fast. Great value for my money - this container is 100 mL. Very pleased.
This gel is amazing!! Do not hesitate to buy... I have been searching for years to find products that keep my skin hydrated, healthy, glowing... Paula's Choice has done this for my skin!! Finally. I could not be happier w/ this product. They say harsh exfoliants are bad for the skin, so I found this gel exfoliator and I'm so glad I did - it's transformed my skin!!! I have very dry, fair skin. This has completely changed everything for me!! So so glad I found this skincare line!!!!
When my spousal unit hit 55, he knew that looking his age would prevent him from getting clients. He's a fair-skinned, blue-eyed guy and the years spent camping without sunblock are showing. I got him a regimen of Paula's Choice to help reverse what we could. His favorite product so far is the BHA exfoliant, because it has helped in smoothing out his face and neck. He also likes the moisturizing gel, and uses both--not bad for a guy who hates fussing over his skin. (next step is sunblock!)
I have to be careful to only use this once a week, because it can make my rosacea worse, but it makes such a difference to the texture of my skin. Gets rid of the flaky patches that show up under foundation, and has helped to fade my red acne marks.
I am new to Paulas Choice.. I am amazed with this product! Next morning, I felt my skin was much smoother. I have a mild melasma, I am hoping this will help to fade with time.. Thanks Paulas choice!
I have battled T zone oil clogged pores my entire life while my cheeks had patches of dryness. The only way to get it out was to scrub, which angered my rosacea like skin. It seemed to "solve" one problem I was stirring up trouble with another issue. Now I just cleanse, tone and use this gel and my pores are CLEAN and seem to have reduced in size. Overall my skin tone has improved and the skin is visibly more smooth. Thank you, Paula's Choice!
I have an oily acne prone and easily clogged skin. So i am religiously using PC's CLEAR series. However, to even out my skin, i tried to use this AHA 8% Gel and miraculously it doesn't irritate my skin. I use it at night and in the morning, my skin looks more clean and radiant. I don't use this regularly. Only when I feel that I need to exfoliate the upper layer of skin to make my skin looks more fresh. I love it :)
I have dry acne prone skin, especially in the winter when I have eczema. This product gave me beautiful skin. It keeps flaking under control(I can even wear foundation sometimes), and also fights acne. It has even dislodged some enlarged pores I have had forever, and some milia under my eyes. I stopped using for a week, and broke out horribly. I would absolutely recommend, but say start slow until your skin builds tolerance, especially if you(like me) have rosacea.
Longtime PC customer. I've been using BHA though. I recently made the switch to AHA and WOW what a difference for me. My skin is much more glowing and softer and smoother. I was a little concerned that this was a gel - I was used to a lotion, but my dry skin is liking the gel. Not a dry flake to be found on me. Thank you PC for another fabulous product!
I have been using this for over a year and it has done wonders for my sensitive, combination, acne prone skin. It helps fade marks from breakouts more quickly, makes my skin smooth and glow-y and seems to reduce the size of any new breakouts. My skin seemed to grow out of the BHA exfoliant as I hit my 30s and I find that this works so much more effectively for me. I highly recommend it!
I use this every night on my very sensitive, 40 y.o. skin, alternating with one of Paula's retinol serums 2 or 3 nights/week. It's not irritating for me, while keeping my mild adult acne at bay. I get compliments on my skin all the time, which I find odd, but reassuring. This is a must-have anti-aging product for me.
This stuff can be pretty strong depending on how often you use it. I have combo/normal skin and was using BHAin the AM and AHA in the PM. Man was my skin smooth but it was just too much exfoliation and eventually toned down my usage to only once a week and I think it works for my skin type.
I have very sensitive skin and have struggled with eczema my whole life - after having a bad reaction to glycolic acid from another brand, I was surprised to see how gentle, yet super effective, this exfoliant is.
The fine lines which had started to appear around my eyes and forehead are not at all as noticeable any more, and my skin is just in a really good condition. This has a lot to do with it.
Thanks Paula's Choice, so glad I found this brand, will stay with it forever!
I personally cannot use this product. I have tried to use it on a couple of different occasions each time my face burns and turns bright red. I advise people to get the sample packets of the AHA and the BHA to see what works for their skin before they buy a whole bottle. I'm not going to give it a bad review simply because I know I have very sensitive skin and it just did not work for my skin.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant has a sheer, weightless texture that works to exfoliate the skin's surface and fade signs of sun damage. The ultra-light formula corrects uneven skin tone for a brighter, smoother, more radiant complexion. Substantiated research shows that AHAs improve collagen production for firmer skin and increase skin's moisture-binding ability. 8% AHA Gel works to sustain the results of professional peels and wears beautifully under a moisturizer or serum.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.5-3.9.
Who is this product for?8% AHA Gel is great for all skin types but those with normal to dry, sun-damaged skin will find it especially beneficial.

What's the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants? Do I need both?
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
Can the AHA and/or BHA products be used during pregnancy or while lactating?
Can I alternate using an AHA and BHA exfoliant? Is this even necessary?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my AHA exfoliant again?

This case describes Google's history, business model, governance structure, corporate culture, and processes for managing innovation. It reviews Google's recent strategic initiatives and the threats they pose to Yahoo!, Microsoft, and others. It also asks what Google should do next. One option is to stay focused on the company's core competence, i.e., developing superior search solutions and monetizing them through targeted advertising. Another option is to branch into new arenas; for example, build Google into a portal like Yahoo! or MSN; extend Google's role in e-commerce beyond search, to encompass a more active role as an intermediary (like eBay) facilitating transactions; or challenge Microsoft's position on the PC desktop by developing software to compete with Office and Windows.
learning objective:
To analyze the strategic significance of network effects in search-related advertising and for Google's prospects in the portal, e-commerce intermediary, and desktop operating system businesses. Also, to explore whether pursuit of the latter opportunities is consistent with Google's mission and culture.

Chinese Biscuits
This week is going to be a crazy busy bee week as I am hosting an important event at my company, and then I am off to San Francisco for more work.
My regular recipe posting will be taking a hiatus while I juggle my professional life (and shmooze and mingle with the corporate kinds). Instead, I will be serving up some food porn for your ogling pleasure.
I hereby kick start my food porn series with these savory Chinese biscuits filled with chopped scallions. They are called 蟹壳黄, or literally yellow crab shell, and yes, chopped scallions do make a fantastic filling! I love these biscuits; they are my favorite weekend munchies…
They are available at my favorite Taiwanese joint here in Irvine, California:
A & J Restaurant (半亩园)
14805 Jeffrey Rd # D
Irvine, CA 92618
There are branches in San Jose, California, too.

Ooh, SF huh? Let me know if you plan on trying stopping by the east bay and I can give you some recommendations. Hope there's time for some good eats in between all the work.
A & J ? There is a eatery(Taiwanese too) by the same name in the bay area but I don't think it sells these snacks. Stay busy but don't become crazy , okie? Hmmm…missing you in SF…again! :(
P.S hey, I know Dan Shui has a version of very hard iron eggs that I don't enjoy either. Those are hard-boiled eggs that are boiled so many times -making it a good "preserved" snack. Heee heee…I think every decent county in Taiwan has "Ah Po" something for that nostalgic feel. Hahahah…those tea eggs I featured are just like tea eggs. You will like it! :D
I've never had these but they look delicious. I'd like to try making them with chinese chives too.
Hope you have some fun in S.F. :)
Looks like Hio Piah, but I have no idea what it taste like. Have a fun work trip!
Make sure you take time out of your corporate-mingling day to savor the food in SF!
& I thot you baked this gems! See "how up I see you".
Oh bee, I miss chinese biscuits. Those look absolutely scrumptious. there's nothing like chopped scallions as a filling, YUM!
Let's meetup at Koi Palace!
Tigerfish-A&J does have those in Cupertino..at least, I'm pretty sure they did a few years ago. Dunno about recently though.
Rasa-don't work too hard! And thanks for the food porn. My goal is to have photographs close to yours someday. =)
Sorry, I couldn't help myself from digging in each time I dished up a bowl of the hokkien mee so there are no photos =(. The next time my freezer is full of shrimp shells I will be sure to take a few snapshots.
All the best in your event!
Now please excuse me while I enjoy my food porn.. lol
Hi, Rasa Malaysia. Other bloggers recommended your blogsite, Wonda and Tunku Halim of Writelah (if I remember correctly from last year).
Such yummy pictures!
Is the dumpling one or two posts below something like 'siu mai'?
(Sorry, I cannot read Chinese.)
i love this! too bad Perth doesnt have it. enjoy!
Sounds tasty! What really jumped out at me though was the lead photograph… stunning colours for me, in a subdued old Chinese painting way… (Stunning? Subtle? What tokking you, Kenny?)
Anyway, all the best with your busy week… Don't forget to breath, dear! :)
Good luck with your work bee :)
Great photos!

Hehehehehe) and they have to be the best chairs I have ever owned. Mine is also padded but have had no problems yet with the padding going. Must admit I do like the Coleman Products.
