This is one of the better serums in the Ole Henriksen line, though it still contains some questionable ingredients, chief among them DMAE, also known as dimethyl MEA. This ingredient is chemically similar to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and claims for it run the gamut for anyone concerned with aging skin. It appears that this substance has some amount of immediate benefit when applied to skin, but shortly after application it actually causes problems. There is no convincing research that DMAE is a must-have anti-aging ingredient for skin, and in all likelihood your skin is better off without it. Despite the lack of evidence supporting any claim that DMAE has any effect on skin, there are hundreds of Web sites claiming that it does. It is possible that DMAE can help protect the cell membrane, and keeping cells intact can have benefit, but so far that appears to be only conjecture, not fact (Sources: Aesthetic-Plastic Surgery, November-December 2007, pages 711–718; Mechanisms of Aging and Development, February 1988, pages 129–138; Neuropharmacology, June 1989, pages, 557–561; and European Neurology, 1991, pages 423–425). If you opt to ignore the controversy over DMAE, this serum is best for normal to dry skin not prone to blemishes. It contains some impressive antioxidants along with skin-identical ingredients.
Firming serum promotes visibly younger skin with DMAE. Skin's renewing power is brought to a new level of perfection with this potent serum bringing the best of cosmetic science and nature together.

Ole Henriksen At-A-Glance
Strengths: The Protect the Truth SPF 50+ Sunscreen is good.
Weaknesses: Expensive; not all-natural as claimed; jar packaging for antioxidant-rich products is pervasive; terribly irritating toners; several average serums and moisturizers, including eye creams; lip balm that contains irritating ingredients.
"Facialist to the stars," L.A.'s "number one face man," and "one of Hollywood's hottest facialists" are but a few of the accolades Denmark-born Ole Henriksen has garnered since he first made a name for himself in Los Angeles back in 1974. Henriksen's skin-care philosophy was, and still is, a mix of holistic teachings, common sense, and, as seen in countless other cosmetic lines (though Henriksen was somewhat of a trailblazer when he started), an affinity for Mother Nature and all she has to offer the skin.
We agree with Henriksen's philosophy that feeling good from the inside can manifest itself on the outside, and we applaud the fact that he admonishes his clients for being too hard on themselves when it comes to their complexions. That bromide loses some of its believability, however, when you realize that Henriksen's products are all about fixing the outside of you, especially the parts with wrinkles, puffy eyes, skin discolorations, and on and on.
For example, all the self-confidence in the world won't change the need for sunscreen or change your genetic propensity for certain skin conditions. Clearly, Henriksen believes that, too, because his skin-care products are meant to help his devotees put their best faces forward. He maintains that his products are different because they are "pure," "natural," and "high performance" products—now really, how often have we heard that? Way too many times, and as is often the case, the products aren't pure or all natural in the least. It turns out that Henriksen's products aren't anywhere close to being all natural. Every product is rife with plenty of unnatural ingredients, most of which are used industry-wide. (That doesn't make them bad, but marketing hype and distortion should not be the basis for making decisions about what skin-care products you use.) In essence, the only unique aspect of this line is Henriksen's ability to charm his clients into thinking that his products are in some way unique and worth the money, when they absolutely are not. A quick review of the ingredient label reveals far more problems than is acceptable for anyone's skin.
Stepping away from the marketing aspect, this product line has way too many missteps to make it interesting or beneficial. While it does contain helpful plant extracts and oils, it is certainly not the only line that includes those ingredients. Sadly, the potency, and yes, even the purity, of many of the good plant extracts are compromised due to his tendency to use jar packaging rather than more stable, airtight options (all plant extracts deteriorate when exposed to air or light). And the amount of irritating plant extracts makes some of his products just hurtful for skin.
Perhaps the saddest part is that a so-called skin-care expert can't even get sun protection right. You place all that trust in someone's expertise and they don't even have the basics down! Henriksen's Herbal Day Creme SPF 15 lacks titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Mexoryl, or Tinosorb. All the ballyhooed "calming extracts" and "pure botanicals" in the world cannot stave off one wrinkle if your sunscreen lacks sufficient UVA protection. A few of the sunscreens that do provide adequate UVA protection contain skin cell–damaging lavender oil. Sigh. It's not fun when you consistently run into examples in line after line that prove that natural ingredients are not inherently better for skin! Given how many consumers want to use such products, we'd love to offer them some slam-dunk options.
This aesthetician-created line has a few reasonably decent options to consider, but overall the line is not on par with many others. The overwhelming emphasis on "natural skincare" (which, we repeat, this line definitely is not) might sound like it will be good for you, but that is not what you will find here. A company's apparent blindness to the published evidence that many of the natural extracts as well as many of the synthetic ingredients they include are potent skin irritants means you don't want to shop this line through rose-colored glasses.

Drink your milk. This is a common command from moms and doctors. Both know that milk is a good source of calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), about 99 percent of the calcium in our bodies is found in our bones and teeth. In addition to building and maintaining healthy bones, calcium allows blood to clot, nerves to send messages, muscles to contract and other body functions.
Each day our body uses and loses calcium through skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and feces. The human body cannot make calcium; we need to get it from the foods we eat. When the diet does not have enough calcium for our body's needs, calcium is taken from the bones.
How much calcium do you need? The NOF says children 1-3 years old should have 500 mg. of calcium each day. Children ages 4-8 should have 800 mg. daily and kids 9-18 years old (the age when they are really building their calcium stores for later in life) should have 1,300 mg. daily. Adult women and men 19-49 years old need 1,000 mg. and people older than 50 years of age should have 1,200 mg. each day.
Food remains the best source. Dairy products are high in calcium, thus the push to drink milk or eat other dairy products. But not everyone likes milk or can drink it. If you're not a milk person, there are some other food sources of this important mineral. Some may surprise you.
Some green vegetables naturally have calcium in them. One cup of broccoli contains about 75 milligrams of calcium. Other vegetables sources are collards and turnip greens. There are 226 mg. of calcium in a cup of cooked collards and 197 mg. in a similar amount of cooked turnip greens.
For the record, an 8-ounce glass of 2 percent milk has about 297 mg. of calcium. So you'd have to eat about four cups of broccoli or a cup and one-half of greens to get the same amount of calcium as in a glass of milk.
A quick note here. You may be thinking about spinach. It's a green leafy vegetable, but does it have calcium too? No, sorry. Spinach, rhubarb stalks and beet greens are examples of foods that are high in a substance called oxalate. Foods with high amounts of oxalate reduce your body's ability to absorb calcium. While spinach, rhubarb and beet greens can be part of a healthy diet for other vitamins and minerals, they are not good sources of calcium.
Some other sources of calcium include seeds and nuts. One ounce (about 1/4 cup) of almonds has 75 milligrams of calcium. The same amount of sesame and sunflower seeds has 37 mg. and 33 mg., respectively.
Another surprising source: Figs. Ten dried figs provide 270 mg. of calcium, but use some care here, as they are also loaded with sugars. Those 10 figs provide about 477 calories. I checked the Nutrition Facts label on fig cookies. Yes, they do contain some calcium. Two Fig Newtons have 6 percent of the Daily Value of calcium. That's about 60 mg. That's not a great source, but it's better than nothing and every little bit adds up.
There are also calcium-fortified foods and calcium supplements that are helpful for people who are unable to get enough calcium in their diets. Some fortified foods include: orange juice, breakfast foods, soymilk, cereals, snacks and breads. Even some bottled water has added calcium. Be sure to read the nutrition label to see if the brand or variety you purchase has calcium added.
So you ask, "Should I take a calcium supplement?" That really depends on how much calcium you are getting naturally in the foods you eat. This is something you should talk over with your medical professional. Taking more calcium than you need in supplements does not have added benefits.
Calcium, whether from food or supplements, is best absorbed when taken in amounts of 500-600 mg. or less. Try to get your calcium-rich foods and/or supplements in smaller amounts throughout the day. Eating food produces stomach acids that help your body absorb calcium.

The Cambridge Companion to Roman Satire (Cambridge Companions to Literature)by Kirk Freudenburg
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Satire as a distinct genre of writing was first developed by the Romans in the second century BCE. Regarded by them as uniquely 'their own', satire held a special place in the Roman imagination as the one genre that could address the problems of city life from the perspective of a 'real Roman'. In this Cambridge Companion an international team of scholars provides a stimulating introduction to Roman satire's core practitioners and practices, placing them within the contexts of Greco-Roman literary and political history. Besides addressing basic questions of authors, content, and form, the volume looks to the question of what satire 'does' within the world of Greco-Roman social exchanges, and goes on to treat the genre's further development, reception, and translation in Elizabethan England and beyond. Included are studies of the prosimetric, 'Menippean' satires that would become the models of Rabelais, Erasmus, More, and (narrative satire's crowning jewel) Swift.
Book News Annotation:
European, US, and Australian scholars provide a guidebook to the various regions, topographical contours, and final frontier of the genre for readers embarking on an expedition into it, especially those who do not know the language. They cover satire as literature and as social discourse, and the influence of Roman satire in English literature. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Satire as a distinct genre was first developed by the Romans and regarded as completely 'their own'. This Companion's international contributors provide a stimulating introduction to the genre and its individual proponents aimed particularly at non-specialists. Roman satires are explored both as generic, literary phenomena and as highly symbolic and effective social activities. Satire's transformation in late antiquity and reception in more recent centuries is also covered.

I've been making a lot of biscuit dough and freezing it and have noticed that when I bake the dough that has been frozen the biscuits don't rise as high as they do when baked fresh. Would adding more baking powder to the recipe help, or would it not matter?
Cynthia is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
Freezing breaks down water molecules. You have them in your milk/buttermilk, eggs, and even butter. I'd suggest that you bump the protein in terms of flour and also eggs. Maybe up the flour by 25% and the eggs the same. I'd leave the leavening alone. It's all a science experiment.

Im sick and tired of this country being ran by a bunch of lying, money hungry, and corrupt politicians. This country was founded by the people for the people if im not mistaken and when did any of "us", the people, have any say in this economic stimulus crap? When are we the people going to stand up and say to the "big bad government" that we are tired of taking it in the ass all the time. I dont know about you all but i think that it is ABSURD that gas prices are as high as they are. We are seeing oil companies like Exxon making the biggest profits ever seen, and yet somehow the price of gas continues to go up??? The people who founded this country stood for something, we broke away from Britain for a reason right? And yet year after year we all sit here watching the government grow bigger and bigger and spend more and more money that we already dont have. Here we are looking to elect another president and all the democrat candidates have some form of a universal healthcare program funded by the GOVERNMENT! The government f'd up medicare/medicade (whatever it is) and social security already and you think they can handle providing healthcare for the entire country? Are these people serious? Do you all not watch the news? Have you not seen how badly this idea has worked in other countries? Im one of the 40 million who dont have healthcare and I DONT WANT IT FOR FREE! They are slowly taking away freedoms that have made America such a great country for so many years, telling us, the people, that its to make/keep us "safer". Like setting up road blocks and stopping every car to do DUI checks, sure they will catch a drunk or two but does this not remind anybody else of Nazi Germany? The S.S. asking to see your papers? When are we going to realize that WE know whats best for US. I dont need the government to provide me with health care, I dont need the state of California to control the temperature in my house! Im paying the bill ill keep it however fckn cold/hot i want it to be thank you very much! Im really sorry about the rant but i dont think im the only person that feels this way about the government and the absurd spending and i wanted to remind everybody that this is the peoples country, and we CAN do something about it.
As Peter from Family Guy would say "That America is what grinds my gears!"
does anyone realize that amendment 16 was never fully radified in the us? there fore it is not a law - which makes us all good little sheep
without thumping my soapbox any more than necessary in a beer related forum - i would say even if you are mildly intrigued - enlighten yourselves. the information is there. also rent, buy or view "freedom to fascism" ...worth the 2 hours of your life
Ive never really looked into that much I just found the givemeliberty.org site really interesting when it comes to the 16th. If its so obvious that it was illegally ratified i dont understand why this isnt brought up even more? I would like to see some stats as well I know that a lot of people lose that battle with the IRS like Willie Nelson

Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land.

These wonderful performances have been recreated with remarkable accuracy. Critics all proclaim "One Swinging Night" as being as close as any person could come to experiencing the original Rat Pack. With so much talent on stage together, these wild wonderful performers would set the standard tone for all those who came to Vegas throughout the Swinging 60's. How could these performances be anything less than historical? The Chicago Rat Pack's show, "One Swinging Night" is perhaps one of the few special productions that shall become as timeless as the actual counterparts (Sammy, Frank and Dean). This fantastic show transports its audiences to a time when life was a lot less complicated. "One Swinging Night" is a brilliant reenactment of the "Summit." This was the period at which all three of the magnificent super-stars were at the prime of their wonderful careers.

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.
Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.
A Gift: Selections from the Cleve Carney Bequest
In 2014, Elmhurst Art Museum was bequeathed nearly 300 works from the collection of Cleve Carney (1939-2013), a longtime Board member, donor and supporter of the museum. The largest gift in EAM's history, these paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and video installations by an international group of artists will be a significant addition to the collection, broadening the scope of the museum's holdings of contemporary art. This presentation highlights select work from the donation and serves as a tribute to the vision, the patronage and the generosity of Cleve Carney, who will be truly missed.
On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore
EAM presents new work by internationally celebrated sculptor Nnenna Okore. Through repetitive, labor-intensive processes, Okore transforms discarded and organic materials like burlap, newspapers, plastic bags and twine into large-scale wall hangings and installations. Okore-s dramatic and undulating forms float in and across space, often casting shadows on their surrounds. Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

To save the lodge, the two acts team up and put on a festive show packed with Irving Berlin favorites like Blue Skies, Count Your Blessings, I Love a Piano, and, of course, White Christmas. White Christmas is joyful entertainment for the entire family and will have audiences dreaming of tree tops glistening and sleigh bells in the snow.
