Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of Abbott Laboratories (ABT). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:
Company Description: Abbott Laboratories is engaged in the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a diversified line of healthcare products including: drugs, nutritional products, diabetes monitoring devices and diagnostics.
Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ABT is trading at a discount to 1.) and 3.) above. The stock is trading at a 21.9% premium to its calculated fair value of $42.18. ABT did not earn any Stars in this section.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ABT earned three Stars in this section for 1.), 2.) and 3.) above. A Star was earned since the Free Cash Flow payout ratio was less than 60% and there were no negative Free Cash Flows over the last 10 years and another Star was earned as a result of its most recent Debt to Total Capital being less than 45%. The stock earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1926 and has increased its dividend payments for 37 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA)? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ABT earned a Star in this section for its NPV MMA Diff. of the $1,066. This amount is in excess of the $500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as ABT has. If ABT grows its dividend at 8.4% per year, it will take 3 years to equal a MMA yielding an estimated 20-year average rate of 3.9%. ABT earned a check for the Key Metric 'Years to >MMA' since its 3 years is less than the 5 year target.
Other: ABT is a member of the S&P 500, a Dividend Aristocrat and a member of the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index.
Conclusion: ABT did not earn any Stars in the Fair Value section, earned three Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and earned one Star in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of four Stars. This quantitatively ranks ABT as a 4 Star-Buy.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to increase to $64.54 before ABT's NPV MMA Differential decreased to the $500 minimum that I like to see for a stock with 37 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 2.48%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $500 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is 6.2%. This dividend growth rate is less than the 8.4% used in this analysis, thus providing a slight margin of safety. ABT has a risk rating of 1.50 which classifies it as a low risk stock.
I consider ABT as one of the best pharmaceutical companies. The company has a relatively strong product pipeline, with potentially significant launches in both the medical device and pharmaceutical areas pending. The stock is trading at a 20%+ premium to its buy price of $42.18, so I will patiently wait for market pullbacks before adding to my position. For additional information, including the stock's dividend history, please refer to its data page.
Disclaimer: Material presented here is for informational purposes only. The above quantitative stock analysis, including the Star rating, is mechanically calculated and is based on historical information. The analysis assumes the stock will perform in the future as it has in the past. This is generally never true. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I was long in ABT (1.3% of my Income Portfolio). What are your thoughts on ABT?

Leaves Turning Yellow on Tomato plant
I have 3 tomato plants and on one plant only, the leaves are turning yellow. The plant seems healthy and the tomatoes are growing but I've never seen this before. What could it be and what do I do about it?
Your tomato plant may have been hit by a late blight. To protect the other plants, get a spray product that controls diseases on vegetables. Use it once a week for three to four weeks. At the end of the season, wash any trellises or other supports with a ten-percent chlorine solution. Next year, do not plant tomatoes in the same spot. Look for tomato varieties with V, F, N or T after their names. They are resistant to early-blight viruses.

The Macallan Masters of Photography winner Luke Bhothipiti's, Scottish Adventure...the final chapter
There is no denying that Luke Bhothipiti was a deserving winner of our Masters of Photography competition – but we have been truly blown away by the images he has captured during his trip to Scotland. So what better way to round up Luke's stay than a few words from the man himself? We let Luke take over today's blog and give you his version of his final few days in Scotland…
The days following our stay at The Macallan really let us get to see some of Scotland I had never expected. First and foremost, we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather as the sun was out and the only clouds in the sky were dynamic brushstrokes of white on a blue canvas. Perfect weather for driving and sightseeing.
After leaving the Spey region and heading up the coast to Dornoch, we began to see a change in the landscape once we began heading west toward Applecross. The lush green forests began to give way to open plains and valleys of brown and amber. Mountains began to loom overhead and close to the roadside casting shadows across the tarmac. As we drove down the straighter stretches of roadway, we couldn't help but be reminded of the vistas in the American West. However, instead of inhospitable desert, this landscape was covered in lush moss and lichens that actually kept everything deceptively wet. Strange and beautiful all at once.
Once we reached Applecross, we could truly see why people raved about the place when we mentioned it along our travels. It was a quaint coastal community, the likes of which neither of us had ever seen. Rows of white cottages lining the shore made up the main street with the Applecross Inn at the front. The truly surprising thing to us though, was just how many people were actually there and how lively and energetic the place was! When we drove up over the mountain, we only encountered a handful of vehicles, and our initial summation was that we'd be the only people in town. Not so – as our dinner was livened by a full pub at the Inn, fantastic food, and lots of great conversations around.
And so, with departing Applecross, we started back South on what would be the final leg of our trip – a drive down the west coast and mountains of Scotland to our final destination of Mar Hall in Glasgow. Stopping for lunch and photographs along the way, of course. Once in Glasgow, all there was left to do was to enjoy the luxury of the hotel, another fine Scottish dinner, a Scotch or two, and prepare ourselves for the return flights home. The trip was absolutely incredible and I am truly humbled by the Scottish hospitality.
Luke's photographs speak for themselves, which is why we have created an album on Facebook for you to enjoy.

Clash of the Classics: Trick vs. The Adventures of Priscilla
BY Advocate.com Editors
July 11 2014 1:21 PM ET
After compiling a list of the most essential LGBT movies, The Advocate is pitting the top 32 entries against one another in a series of one-on-one face-offs. In this Sweet 16 round, Trick, a modern classic about one-night stands in the late 1990s, is up against The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the camp classic about drag queens amid the dunes. Which film is more essential? Vote below, and check out our full list of the top 175 most essential LGBT movies at Advocate.com/top175.
Trick, 1999 (28 seed)
A quintessential film for a generation of gay men, 1999's Trick took a lighthearted look at the pleasures and pitfalls of one-night stands as Gabriel (Christian Campbell) and Mark (John Paul Pitoc) discover that hooking up in Manhattan isn't as easy as it looks and romance can blossom at the most unexpected times. —Jase Peeples
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, 1994 (Seed 12)
Director Stephan Elliott's Australian film about the adventures of two drag queens and a trans woman who travel across the desert in a rickety old bus to perform a drag show found box office success around the world and a place in the hearts of many LGBT viewers as well. Starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, the film garnered many awards, including an Oscar for Best Costume Design. Today, the film is considered by many to be an LGBT kitsch comedy classic, loved as much for its over-the-top characters as its unflinching look at life through a queer lens. —Jase Peeples
Vote here on Facebook or Twitter by Sunday, July 12, and check in every day for more Clash of The Classics.

Good effort from Jamea. Vera pretty much choked in the second set at 4-0 up from what I could tell on the scoreboard. Should have closed out sooner but I guess it shows that Jamea was willing to fight for it. Nice little comeback for Vera this week.

Never in doubt. (faints)

I hope this means the 2004-Vera is back :cool:
Jun 18th, 2006, 03:27 PM
I meant veteran in terms of appearances in finals, whereas this was Jamea's first WTA final. She is a veteran in comparison to Jamea, that's all.
Jun 18th, 2006, 03:28 PM
Veteran? :p sure...
Vera, well done baby :kiss: hopfeully, this is the beginning of some good things to come... :bounce:

She had some :help: moments, but won the points that really mattered :bowdown:
It wasn't exactly the best match in which to have one of her nosebleeds, but she battled through it well :D

Jun 18th, 2006, 03:38 PM
Great comback from what looked like a bagel in the second set. Jamea may be disappointed that she lost but she did very well here.
Jun 18th, 2006, 03:39 PM

I'm so happy for Vera. I hope this is the start of a real comeback. And as for Jamea--she had a great tournament and I am proud of her.
Jun 18th, 2006, 04:14 PM
Jamea had this match, just couldn't
take those last steps to finish the sets off.
Great week though and hopefully she'll carry much
confidence in Wimbledon, especially with the
Sharapova match.

she was up a break in the first set, but the second set was all Vera's to lose
Jun 18th, 2006, 04:20 PM
This match could have gone either way. What a great tourni for both players. The last couple of rounds were very entertaining.
Jun 18th, 2006, 05:25 PM

you've got to be kidding me. if maria was in the final, vera would have NEVER won. props to her for getting her fourth title, but to say she is a darkhorse for Wimbledon after her complete lackluster year is going a bit to far.
Jun 18th, 2006, 06:39 PM

i hope for you the best this year
jamea :worship: for your week

Strange logic, Jamea beat Maria in strts. Bepa got over Jamea, H toHs Maria Bepa 2all (one match played at FO Bepa as sick as a dog, even though on paper Maria is a much higher ranked player and much more suited to grass, Bepa for all her much discussed faults seems to play Maria well and rise to the occasion(accompanied by a few tears:sad: )but even a fan like me wouldn't set her up as a darkhorse for wimbledon,like to hope of course.
Jun 18th, 2006, 10:33 PM
Congrats Vera
Jun 18th, 2006, 10:38 PM
... just a bump in the road for the more promising player, Jamea Jackson.
Jun 18th, 2006, 11:03 PM
congrats vera! was about time you found your way back.
Great week jamea!!! :bounce:
Jun 19th, 2006, 01:12 AM
Vera :woohoo: :banana: Congrats on winning your first title of 2006 ended her 16 months title drought, good luck in Eastbourne.
Jamea :sad: impressive tournament nonetheless beating Sharapova on grass, hope this run will give u confidence at Wimbledon.
Jun 19th, 2006, 01:46 AM
Congrats Vera,great tournament and better luck next time Jamea.
Jun 19th, 2006, 02:00 AM
Great result from Vera...I sensed after she gave Safina a good match in the first round at Roland Garros that she was on her way back. Beating Chakvetadze was a good win and she never looked back. It's been a long time Bepa...take this form into Wimbledon and cause some damage!

Taking the edge off hunger and hardship
Published November 12, 2012 13:00
When the rains come in Nicaragua, children play in muddy streets and women cook with their feet in mud. Plastic walls and dirt floors don't offer much protection from the elements. But a well-built house is not the biggest concern when children are crying and hunger is weakening adult bodies and spirits. Solid walls take time and money, and Nicaraguan families have neither when they are trying to find their next meal.
Hunger. Nicaraguan families know it too well— the way it drags down a person's immune system and slows one's ability to think and relate. Hunger saps energy, the desire to learn, and the desire to build a better life. These families work hard on the land, cutting wheat by machete and cleaning fields by hand. But an income of $2 a day does not reach around when their country's food prices are about the same as prices in the U.S. In Nicaragua, the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, some families eat only one meal a day in order to save some food for the next day.
For those on CAM's Nicaragua-Adopt-A-Family program, a food parcel each month brings some relief. Marlon Jose says, "If we would lose this help, it would be like losing my arm! It's a blessing from God." Although the family's needs are not all met, the flour, cooking oil, canned chicken, and beans take the edge off hunger and hardship.
Sponsors send 750 family food parcels to Nicaragua each month. In the rural areas, where there is little access to medical care, the medicines in the parcels are especially welcome.
Jose and Juana Sanchez care for their three granddaughters who were abandoned by their parents. Though her situation is difficult, Juana keeps her sense of humor: "God grant you long life," she says, "so you can keep sending us this help!" She shows CAM staff the well-worn but carefully preserved card that enables her to get a parcel and exclaims, "I treasure this card like the apple of my eye!"
Would you like to help provide relief for Nicaraguan families struggling in poverty? If so, please use the "Donate Now" button below. You will be able to make a one-time donation using your credit card or bank account.

Hello there; I'm Shannon, and welcome to A Periodic Table. I'm happy you're here.
So now that I've mastered Facebook and Twitter (and by "mastered," i mean I can operate them without accidentally shutting something down or getting my account suspended), I've taken up Instagram. I've always had a personal one, but that one is filled with three years of randomness and a lot of baby photos, so I thought it was time to set up a professional one. Follow along if you enjoy random photos of food, occcasional life, and party things.
As always, if you'd like to email me, please do so at aperiodictable [at] yahoo [dot] com. I do my best to get back to you quickly, especially if you sound like you're in the middle of a high-stakes baking crisis/meltdown. I understand those on a personal level, and i'll do my best to assist.

LOL i shouldn't be allowed to breed because i think this kid needs tough love so he'll get out and be a functioning member of society?
All his parents are currently doing is enabling him to be a bum.
I'd do a much better job at having and raising children than you, at least my kids wouldn't be a bunch of self victimizing moochers.
There is nothing at all wrong with what i said. A few weeks on his own will snap him out of this, and trust me, he'll be finding a job.

Another beauty thread . . .wrinkles!
I keep seeing ads for creams and makeup that reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
I know nothing topical can actually get rid of them, but does anyone know of something that works temporarily? I've read a lot of reviews but nothing sounds promising.
And yes, I know prevention is key-- I don't smoke or drink. I use sunblock AND wear hats and I still get burnt, however (drives me crazy), so I am guessing the wrinkles I have come from that, stress (in the area of lack of sleep, esp.), and maybe genes. I'm 38 and know they are only going to get worse.
Over the years I've used a lot of things. In my 30s and 40s it was all Oil of Olay, and it was great. I've tried the expensive products too, but as any professional will tell you, save your money.
Now in my 50s, I swear by Estee Lauder. There's a reason those fashionable and pretty "little old ladies" always used it. It works.
For the past couple of years I've been using EL's Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Creme, and I love it. It's for nighttime use, but I put it on in the morning if I'm not going anywhere.
Here's a little tidbit and it's true. Once you look around among people, you'll see.
A little bit of extra weight in the face cuts down on wrinkles as you age. I could lose a good 20 pounds, but the skinny friends my age look a lot older than I do, and every wrinkle started showing up when they were young. It's true! lol
Bumble is right. Actually the "professionals" (dermotologists) do recommend retinol products, philoretin products, glycolic acid, etc. I will have to look at the name of what I was using. I had a dark spot on one side of my face - up near my temple. The creme I used did lighten the spot considerable. It also gave my skin a softer texture and my complexion looks "brighter". HOWEVER, I have sensitive skin and have to be very careful about how much, what strenth and how long I use it. I'm currently not using the stronger creme, just the moisture lotion and undereye creme. I'll get back to you with the name. I by it at a beauty salon, through a plastic surgeon. Funny - huh? Actually one of his employees does facials, etc. at my beauty salon once a week. You can also buy the products on line.
I'd recommend you visit a dermatologist. One advantage is they will probably give you some samples.
I still can't figure out why you feel the need to constantly mock me, Tina.
Nowhere did I say the products you mentioned aren't good. I said not to waste money on expensive products. Retinal comes in inexpensive OTC products also.
Dermatologists have agenda's in pushing certain products as do other doctors. Therefore fooling the pubic into thinking the products they push are the best. And it was dermatologists who came out and said this.
Short of Botox, nothing really gets rid of wrinkles. Many OTC creams do help tremendously with texture, but that is not the issue here.
Oakley - I wasn't mocking you. Disagreeing perhaps, although I am sure different professionals say different things. Yes, retinal comes in OTC. The products I use aren't terribly expensive and they do work. I had used my dermatologist for some time before asking about skin care products and I trust her suggestions.
I don't think I said the products get rid of wrinkles but they can improve the appearance. I think wrinkles can be minimized.
My dear Oakley. You are so sensitive! I read Tina's post three times trying to read it like you did. I still couldn't see it. I saw it as conversation and being involved in the conversation.
I should pay better attention to this thread but I likely won't.
I don't really have wrinkles yet, other than lines under my eyes. I'm 47. I use Retin-A prescribed by a doctor mainly for (arg) adult acne and some fading of sun spots (not terribly effective there). That may be why I don't have many wrinkles! I have tried a few eye creams and the one that seems to have the best effect is Roc Retinol eye cream, which I get at CVS and is not expensive. It doesn't eliminate the lines, but somehow makes them look better! Whenever I try other creams, thinking one might be a miracle cure, I end up going back to the Roc cream and I can see the difference almost immediately.
My dilemma is how to moisturizer winter-dry aging skin that is still prone to acne. It's really hard!
oak, thank you for the Oil of Olay reminder. I used to use it and it is good stuff! It's funny-- I was reading reviews for the Roc cream and someone said EXACTLY what you did . . .she said she'd lost weight, so now her wrinkles show more! I'll check out the EL, too. I have a fond spot for EL-- when I was a teen, that is where my mom took me to learn how to do makeup.
Bumble, tina, terriks, and sue, I will try the Roc. I have had wrinkles on my forehead since I was 7! (Well, the beginning of them.) Last night when I was looking at the product, it said (in the reviews) to keep it away from the eyes . . .so it sounds like there are some you CAN use for the eyes, but not the overnight one? Off to go check!
Anele, good for you...using a sunscreen regularly! That's a very important step in your skincare regime!
Here is a review from Cosmetics Cop, of ROC's Multicorrexion Night Treatment. I've used it too, & really like it, as well as the ROC eye cream Sue mentioned.
Cosmetics Cop is a great resource, btw. You get no-nonsense, un-biased reviews of drugstore & department store products. As Oakley said, expensive doesn't always mean better. Cosmetics Cop gives glowing reviews to many EL products, for example, but not ALL of them!
Anyhoo, here's what she said about the ROC cream:
Although this moisturizer isn't a "comprehensive anti-aging solution" for your skin, it is a light, silky moisturizer that treats your skin to an impressive amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) along with the cell-communicating ingredient retinol. The texture of this product makes it best for those with normal to slightly dry skin. If your skin is dry to very dry you will want to pair this with a separate moisturizer or serum.
This definitely deserves consideration if you're curious to see what a well formulated retinol product will do for your skin. It currently stands as the best retinol product RoC offers, which of course begs the question of why they have so many other products with retinol!
ugh, i too have dealt with just enough adult acne to steer me away from putting much of anything on my face... i do have some wrinkles on forehead and fine(ish!) 'crow's feet' from years of squinting instead of wearing sunglasses!!
i do have an OTC retinol product that i occasionally remember to put around my eyes, but probably not consistently enough to show any longterm results...i've just never been one to cream up my face with anything unless it had benz.peroxide 10% in it!
i have the feeling that my forehead requires something injectable to smooth it---don't know when or if i'll go down that path...
stinky, I used to have her book! (Paula Begoun, that is.) I was wondering that about the many RoC products-- which is best! Now I know! Thank you. :)
busy, I feel the same about the lines around my mouth. I think they come from some jaw issue-- does not affect me, but I can tell it's not symmetrical.
Bumble, which formula do you use?
Anele, so you are familiar with Paula! Here's what she has to say about the Multicorrexion Eye Cream:
"There is much to like about this lightweight, silky-textured eye cream, but its treatment benefits don't extend to diminishing dark circles and puffiness (so much for the multi-correction claim). What this will do is provide a light dose of moisture along with the antioxidant benefit of vitamin C, vitamin E, and soy protein. Also on hand is an impressive amount of the cell-communicating ingredient retinol, and this product's packaging will keep it stable during use. So there's much to like about this product because its combination of ingredients can help skin look better, and that includes improving the appearance of wrinkles. This would be rated a Best Product if it did not contain fragrance. I can concede to fragrance in an otherwise well-formulated facial moisturizer, but not in a product meant for use in the eye area. This is suitable for normal to slightly dry skin."
I haven't had any problems with the fragrance, but it may be a concern for some. Did notice while looking at Amazon reviews that it only got 3 stars, while the Multicorrexion Night Treatment was a really big hit.
Eye creams Paula likes 100% are Yes to Bluberries Firming Eye Treatment & Shikai's Borage Dry Skin Therapy Eye Cream. I've used them both too & love them! Purchased those at Drugstore.com, but I know Target sells the Blueberry.
Another product that she (& I) like- Olay's Total Effects Mature Skin Therapy...big favorite of mine (Okay, I confess, I love skin care products!)
Nothing, as I am sure you well know, will eliminate wrinkles. If something would, no woman walking around would be sporting a wrinkle on her face! Still, I do think we can enhance the way our skin looks & feels with good products, good diet, enough sleep & sunscreen!
A nurse, who must have been in her thirties, said to me recently, "I just have to say, you have gorgeous skin...it's just perfect!" Well, I am 49 years old Anele, & I promise you, my skin is not perfect! Maybe what I can take away from her remark, in spite of its hyperbole, is that that even in advancing age, our complexions can still have a sort of "freshness?"
Tina, the Borage eye cream is fragrance free & a really great product. Here is Paula's review:
"This is an excellent moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin anywhere on the face. It contains a good mix of non-fragrant plant oils rich in fatty acids, emollients for moisture retention, and some good antioxidants. The gentleness of this formula is great for use around the eyes, but your entire face deserves such gentle care--it shouldn't be reserved for skin around the eyes. Although more antioxidants and some cell-communicating ingredients would've made this even better, this deserves our top rating due to its value for sensitive skin."
Estee Lauder's Verite is another great one for sensitive skin, but is twice the price of the one above.
Paula's review:
"Verite Special EyeCare is a very emollient, water-based moisturizer that contains a good mix of skin-identical ingredients, antioxidants, and cell-communicating ingredients. Like all Verite products, this is fragrance-free."
It has been ages since I've really investigated makeup, and never have I spent $ on skin care beyond the very basics. Thank you for doing this "legwork," inc. ideas of where to buy! I usually use Amazon but I know it's not always the cheapest.
Now I'll throw something else in for consideration . . .what about Paula's products? I looked for reviews about her own wrinkle creams (on her site!) and, of course, it was not NEARLY as clear that nothing would eliminate wrinkles. :)
She has some sample sizes, but I am guessing they would not be enough to tell if they make a difference?
I am thinking of her "Resist" line.
I like your comment about "freshness," stinky! (Though maybe you have to change your screen name, ha, ha!) I know I don't look fresh . . .I am pretty tired with the newborn and my 4 y.o. being sick for a week. It's not so much the newborn, I should say, just what she needs on top of what everyone else needs. She's sleeping pretty well at least! Once I get more rest + exercise and SOME sort of retinol, I am hoping to see a difference!
I LOVE Nivea Creme for my face. It is very thick and heavy, you can't slap it on and run out the door - you have to wait a bit for it to sink in or only use it at night but I swear it is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I also like to use olive oil or jojoba oil. I use them on my face and neck, and add some to my body lotion too.
Anele, I think Paula's products are great (but did I ever meet a beauty product that I didn't like, LOL?)
Seriously, I really love the Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment! Also, have used Paula's sunscreen daily, for over fifteen years! Started out with the non-greasy formula & have been using the Extra Care Moisturizing spf 30 for the last several years. You can't go wrong w/any of her products. She has a 60-day return policy if you really hate something!
Sorry your little girl has been under the weather! A bug of some kind has been going around, & with a newborn, you must be really busy right now! A little extra rest & bit of pampering with some new "girlie" stuff, & you will see & feel that "glow" again, I promise! Don't forget to stay hydrated & drink plenty of water or/and herbal tea.
You made me laugh about my screen name! Hmmm...Fresh-Gardener? Nah.
I use Adapalene in a cream form. It is similar to Retin A & Renova, but much gentler. My derm gave it to me for milia & adult acne (so unfair! Wrinkles & blemishes? No one warned me.) She said I would also love what it did for my crow's feet etc. I no longer have any crow's feet. It does not take away deep furrows, I don't think anything topical can do that, but my skin looks beautiful and it is line free.
SueB, it sounds like we may have similar skin types. I struggled to find a moisturizer for my dry, aging, milia-prone, adult acne-plagued skin. I finally settled on Korres Wild Rose Serum and Juice Beauty's Green Apple Anti-Oxidant Moisturizer. Korres Wild Rose mask is also fantastic.
For those of us...ahem..with "mature" skin Obagi products are great for wrinkles, crows feet and hyperpigmentation. I have been using the system for about 3 years and it has really made a difference. The system does include Retin A and the first 6 weeks can be a little rough with redness and peeling but after that-wow! When I look at my before pictures I can't believe I looked that bad. I will probably use this the rest of my life I am so happy with it. The initial system is expensive but it does last for about 4 months and now I just buy the particular product I am low on so the cost isn't bad. Definitely less expensive in the long run for me because I was always looking for the next best thing and wasting lots of money! You do have to get the Retin A by prescription but now I buy what I need on Amazon for ess than I pay at my doctor's office.
I don't have wrinkles, partly due to genetics and partly because I have extra fat in my face. It's not just in my hips. LOL
I am getting ready to begin drinking pure aloe vera juice again. I drank it years ago and then stopped. Just recently I learned it can have a great affect on your skin from the inside out. Make sure to get the clear aloe vera however, that is made only from the pulp inside the plant. The stuff made with the entire plant is very rough on the stomach. I wish I could remember where I use to buy the clear stuff. It's difficult to find. I did find some online, but I'd like to find it locally and save on postage. Anyone using the clear aloe vera for drinking?
I've been using a Neutrogena AHA Cleanser for years. I keep it in the shower and apply it with a little exfoliating pad daily. I also use SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 and C E Ferulic which is an antioxidant & vitamin c serum. Those are the main things for me: AHA, exfoliation, Retinal, antioxidant/vit C.
I don't really care about wrinkles, they are fact of life but I want my skin to be blemish free and have an even/luminous tone. Also, I don't want to look younger than my age - I just don't want to look older!
I just got back from Costco where I bought two 1.1 ounce (larger tubes - an extra 0.1 ounce) for $28.00. Amazon's price is $17.58 for one ounce. I did use this about a year ago, and when my skin got a bit dry I counteracted it with my homemade rosewater and glycerin spray, so I'll probably do that again. I remember someone commenting on my skin around that time. I don't know why I didn't repurchase it then.
Funny wrinkles story....I thought I was doing OK in the wrinkle deptartment as in not too many. Then, I traded my Dodge Grand Caravan for a Lexus sedan. Well, I found that in the Lexus I am a whole lot closer to the rear view mirror. Holy cow! What are these lines on my forehead! I never really noticed at home in the bathroom...apparently I should get new glasses!
Shee, I don't use it every night, maybe 2-3 times a week. I use a grainy exfoliant one night a week & really like to use the RoC product that night. It's even more effective after exfoliating. I do always use a moisurizer over it.
Rucnmom, that's hilarious!
I have been doing a lot of research! What else can I do while I nurse the baby . . .
I used Paula's reviews and skin care routine plan to make my choice. I also stuck to products that have not been tested on animals. Finally, I tried to get the most for my $ since I don't want to love something too expensive! I went for the cheapest but best (according to reviews).
She says you need:
1. cleanser
2. toner (I did not get one; did not find one cheap enough that had a good rating)
3. exfoliant (AHA or BHA)
4. moisturizer (with sunscreen during the day)
Cleanser: Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash (this is FREE right now on drugstore.com if you buy any other Alpha Hydrox product)
Exfoliant: Alpha Hydrox AHA Lotion (this was cheaper on Amazon if you have Prime)
Moisturizer: I got two-- one for day and one for night
Day: Kiss my Face Factor Face + Neck
Night: Alpha Hydrox Retinol ResQ
I think I spent a little over $40 for everything . . .drugstore.com has free ship if you spend $25 (bought everything there except the AHA lotion).
rucnmom- hahahahaha!!!! It's like those skinny mirrors at the store!! Don't get new glasses!
Okay, I so do NOT get toners. What the heck do they do? Every time I have asked an "expert" the answers seem that toner is pretty much redundant.
1. "Toners remove any lingering traces of oil or cosmetics that remain on your face.". So maybe I should just wash better?
2. "Toners close your pores after cleansing.". Don't I want the pores to remain open for the moisturizer that is coming next?
I am very intrigued by the use of Vitamin C in skin care. Does anyone notice that it makes a difference?
Nicole, I am not 100% sold on them, either, but Paula says this about them:
Toners are meant to be used after cleansing. They once were recommended as a way to restore skin's pH balance after using a bar soap or bar cleanser because those types of cleansers raise the skin's natural pH to a level that isn't good for your skin.
However, with today's gentle, water-soluble cleansers, the skin's pH doesn't change appreciably, and the fact that skin's pH recovers just fine on its own made the need for toners to adjust skin's pH fade away.
What we now know is that after cleansing, what your skin needs is a range of ingredients that restore and repair its surface. Skin can never get too much of these important ingredients, which include antioxidants and skin-repairing substances such as glycerin, fatty acids, and ceramides. The right toner can give your skin a healthy dose of what it needs to look younger, fresher, and smoother, right after cleansing and throughout the day.
Here is a link that might be useful: Do I Need a Toner?
Anele, I think you did very well for a $40.00 investment! Using Paula's reviews insure that your items will be good, non-irritating products. I subscribe to her Beautypedia & love the updates & reviews.
Yes, Paula has never been too enthusiastic about toners, but included them in her line, I think, to please women who simply enjoy using one. Hers of course, are full of antioxidants & other goodies. They aren't the usual irritating or do-nothing toners!
I use one by Merle Norman-Luxiva Daily Moisture Toner. It is one of the very few toners (other than her own) Paula gives an outstanding review.
I honestly don't have wrinkles and I'm 61 soon to be 62 in March. With the exception being under my eyes, not bad, but I know in about three years it will get worse. I have no problem with doing Botox.
But, from the time I was 16 I have moisturized even though I have oily skin.
For all the younger women on here please moisturize and wash your face at night, it works.
Now if only I would of started exercisizing earlier and kept up with my spelling.
If any of you are vitamin c serum users, did you know you can make your own at home? I used to love Cellex-C but it would oxidize too quickly. There are a lot of recipes online and they really work well. I buy Vit C. crystals at Trader Joe's and mix them with glycerin and water -- comes to cents for a bottle rather than $100 per bottle. I can't tell the difference in the results.
Hi Terri - The recipe I use is one tsp. vitamin c crystals, three tsp. water (they say to use distilled but I always forget to buy it and use plain tap water) and one tsp. glycerine. The only thing is, I have a hard time getting the crystals to completely dissolve. I read if you add a drop of vodka, or even rubbing alcohol, that helps the crystals dissolve. I used gin (tanqueray!) and it worked great in dissolving them. There are many variations of this recipe online, with some using a higher ratio of vitamin c and others using a lower ratio, so I think you can really play around with it and see what works best for you. If you have a amber or dark colored bottle with a dropper to store it in that is best. I use my old Cellex-C bottle. Exposure to light will speed up oxidation.
I've been thinking the same thing since before Christmas, and have decided to get a peel, not dermabrasion, but something stronger than just a normal chemical peel.
I have lines/wrinkles in various places, and even though they're not the worst I've ever seen, they're on 'my' face, so I would like to eliminate them.
Apparently, they're are treatments you only need to have one time, but you do need to stay out of the sun and continually wear sunscreen. Now I just need to find a reputable dermatologist or maybe even a cosmetic surgeon. Has anyone else considered this sort of treatment?
I use it in the morning after washing my face and then, after letting it sink in for about ten minutes, I apply whatever moisturizer i want for that day. I kind of switch around with moisturizers. Sometimes I use olive oil or jojoba oil, sometimes Nivea Creme or some other moisturizer. Be sure to use just a small amount of the serum so it is a very light coating - more will just make your face feel tacky all day. A little really does go a long way. I also apply it to my neck and chest because I have terrible sun damage there! Wish I hadn't spent so much time in the sun in v-neck t-shirts!
Here is a little bit of information on Argan Oil which I am loving. I use on my face and hair. It helps reduce frizziness from humidity. You can fin it online, vitamin stores, or in the natural section of grocers, like Whole Foods. Although it's called an oil, it is not oily or greasy on your skin or hair of which I have both.
Here is a link that might be useful: argan oil
Lots of good suggestions here but I want to add one thing. I noticed in the original post she said she used sunblock but she still burned. That just means that it is not being used correctly.
Most people do not use enough and do not reapply it. You need to use a BROAD spectrum sunblock, I suggest at least a 30 and apply it generously all the way down and over the upper chest area.
Just because it says it blocks UVA and UVB doesn't mean it blocks enough of the UVA, which doesn't burn but causes skin damage and wrinkles. Make sure it says broad spectrum. You need to use it everyday, even if you don't think you will be outside much or it's cloudy/raining. Plans and weather change.
Before using sunscreen please google 'dangers of sunscreen' for pertinent info.
Also google the side effects of retinol before using. Always good to know all the facts.
Don't lose weight if you want to avoid wrinkles! Fat causes wrinkles to stay plumped up and less obvious. However, it's not a healthy state to be overweight. When I lost weight wrinkles became more obvious. I try to stay well-hydrated, eat healthy foods, stay out of the sun except for brief periods, and moisturize with organic coconut oil. I believe that any wrinkles I have are well-earned and not anything to stress over. Stress also causes more wrinkles as well as worse health conditions! Stay happy, smile and don't frown, and you'll mostly have laugh lines which can be quite attractive!
Just want to suggest a site that I use regularly for product reviews. All those creams, etc. are expensive!! I especially like that you can search by age group.

Windermere ferry out of action for maintenance work
Last updated at 08:33, Monday, 28 April 2014
THE Windermere ferry is out of action from today until Saturday May 24 to allow maintenance work to take place.
The vessel, named Mallard, is receiving its five-yearly inspection and is undergoing a full out-of-the-water check.
Cumbria County Council is also investing £300,000 into a refit of the boat by updating its hydraulic system.
Windermere Lake Cruises is providing an alternative service with limited space for two bicycles at a time during the maintenance work.
The service will operate between Ferry House jetty and Pier 3 in Bowness Bay, subject to weather and safety considerations. The replacement service will operate throughout the day between 8am and 5.40pm.

Last year we posted about Redesigning the hotel icon, where we referenced the iconic DOT pictograms that have been in use across the world for years. At Cleartrip, we've been playing with these icons and graphics for a long, long time.
These pictograms have assisted millions of travellers of different ages and cultures, but we thought we'd have some fun with them too — break them out of their purely utilitarian straightjackets.
So, we held an internal competition asking for poster entries of your favourite movies redesigned using these pictograms. There were two advantages we saw — the first, being refreshing and viewing the age old pictograms in a new light; second, we wanted to add some zing to the design department's space in our office.
These were the entries
The two best posters were selected from the submissions and the 'prize' was having one's work framed and proudly displayed in the office.
This is how they look now.

Ants, Millions!, outside, in potted plants - HELP!
First let me state that I am an organic gardener and familiar with IPM principles and they had always worked in a regular house and yard situation. However, now I live at the edge of a 5 acre open property and started out with thousands (no exageration) of ants. It's been increasing until now I have millions and millions (again, not an exageration) and they have become a serious problem. They are farming aphids, scale, mealy bug, etc on the plants faster than I can keep up with. They form nests in my larger potted plants (I do some growing and have hundreds of potted plants), under the pots, around the pots, in the raised veggie beds and everywhere else that you can think of. They are now all Argentine ants and form one huge colony - they don't fight over territory or kill each other. There are hundreds/thousands of nests and it is often impossible to track down the nests because of extensive gopher tunnels.
I have tried diatomaceous earth, boric acid and sugar water solution, regular store-bought traps (at least half a dozen different brands and types), flushing them out with water, worm tea, cinnamon, cayenne, etc. Nothing seems to do more that put a small dent in the population in that area for a very short time.
I never before had much of a pest problem because of good organic principles but now I seem to be constantly having to fight the ants and the pests they're farming. I can manage to shoo them out of the house (at least once a month) with orange oil or Simple Green and boric acid, but nothing seems to be working outside.
One of the main problems is how to keep them out of the pots. Haven't found anything that I can soil soak with that keeps them out. It's not just a nuisance - they harm or kill the plants. They displace the soil and the roots are exposed to air and are gradually killed off (eaten or chewed also). I have to keep repotting and replacing the soil.
Also, they congregate on the strawberries during the summer. The crowns will be completely covered with ants and small black specks (poop?).
HELP! This is not your normal little ant problem - this is major. I hate to use chemicals but am desperate at this point.
Native ants are important parts of your environment, but imported ants can be pests. You may want to talk with the people at your local office of the University of California USDA Cooperative Extension Service about which ants you have and what needs to be done to control the invasive species.
Here is a link that might be useful: UC CES
You can use Amdro fire ant bait in your non-edible garden areas with great success. A VERY small amount broadcast over large areas does the trick, as does a gentle application on a mound per mound basis. Follow the directions on the container or from your extension service.
Also, many companies are making an organic ant bait with Spinosad as the active ingredient. It can be used anywhere, including vegetable gardens, etc.
Baits need to be applied carefully, so that you don't create a panic in the ant population. The product needs to be taken into the depths of the colony, where it will eventually be passed around to all, including the young and queen.

Re: T-shirt controversy in the March 8 edition. A big thank-you to Alex Pavlenko (Letter to the Editor). I agree with your comments in regard to this T-shirt issue.

Mr. Mitsui warns that the word "terrorist" is "poisonous," "ubiquitous" and drives people to "irrational actions" (Lethbridge Herald, March 21 Letter to the Editor, "Be careful how you use the word 'terrorist'").He instructs that the word not be applied in certain realms especially politics because its repeated use "scares" people. By that logic, he probably ... Read More »1 day ago
Never in my 75 years have I been so disgusted as the day Ms. May was denied to speak to a debate on Canada expanding its forces into Syria. Acting more like the Afghan parliament than Canada, a few Conservative backbenchers shouted "no" when the speaker asked if she could speak. This from a government ... Read More »1 day ago

Americana Tavern Signs Quilt
Although I just started on this a few weeks ago I feel like saying "it's FINALLY done!". I bought this fabric a few years ago - that's part of the reason. Then I got bogged down after I finished the tiny stippling around the signs and it took a couple idle weeks before I picked it up again to complete the quilting and binding. I still have a few of the teal diamonds to applique on, but wanted to get pictures posted. It's a gift for my DH Jim; something he can nap with or take in the RV without worry about getting it dirty of smoky from a campfire. It's meant to be a manly man quilt.
It's 60"x60" - just right for the bed on an RV. The center is an uncut print of old tavern signs. The star blocks around the edges are paper pieced. The back is flannel - in the same print as the mahogany leaf print on the front, which is not flannel. The quilting thread is variegated which looked perfect before I started but now I wish I had used a solid brown. Oh well.
The flannel backing wasn't quite big enough so I expanded it with red batik for the star points and more of the light leaf fabric from the front. The label block in the center of the star is pieced with many tiny pieces, mostly from scraps of the tavern signs. I think this is my favorite quilt back and I'm sure I'll use this giant star pattern again.
Center detail: I stippled around the signs but didn't quilt on them, making them stand out and look puffier.
Label detail:
With a fabric pen I added a quotation by Samuel Johnson from the 1700's: "There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern." The name of this quilt is So Much Happiness.
I love it!! I never look at flannel - I definitely should after seeing this! Did you use batting also?
When I quilt using variegated thread, it is always a bit jarring in the beginning, but than it looks great after washing and blends or provides the high contrast as needed.
Absolutely love the label-it is a good way to add to the back incorporating the label.
I think a more artistic label adds your 'signature' and you succeeded in making a label less utilitarian looking.
I also like the striped binding - Tavern signage detail.
Thanks for posting the pictures.
What a great quilt for a man! You did a wonderful job on it.
Your DH will love it. It's such a unique idea for a manly quilt. Like the quotation too.
I did use a very thin poly batting - that's not something I typically use but since it will be used in the RV I wanted something that wouldn't be as effected by humidity and would dry quickly. The poly seemed like a good idea. It gave a nice loft to the unquilted signs too.
Those of you who liked the flannel: did you see the email ad today from Connecting Threads? It's all about a new flannel line! Pretty Fall colors too.
