Yup. I rarely see girls wearing any Woot bunny shirts. It's often college aged guys. Most of the Woot shirts I see on girls are the more art-heavy designs. Trees. Girls love trees! Boys love bunnies? The universe is a mysterious place. As for the design of the bunnies themselves, I was going for a simple, readable look for them without being too close to Ramy's art. Sometimes I feel a simpler character is necessary if you're trying to show a joke or concept clearly. It was my way of making the bunnies sort of general while still being cute or appealing to people. Sometimes I make my characters too cracky and it turns people off. ^^;

File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats and Dodgers square off in an old-fashioned doubleheader today.
Wet grounds last night forced the postponement of the Nationals' game against the Dodgers, so the two clubs will attempt to play two today the old-fashioned way: back-to-back. Yep, it'll be a traditional doubleheader. One ticket gets you into both games, with the nightcap beginning approximately 30 minutes after the first game ends.
Chien-Ming Wang, who was supposed to start last night, will pitch the opener for the Nationals. The Dodgers are starting Chad Billingsley for the first game.
I won't be at the park for this twinbill; taking Mrs. Z and baby Brian to the doctor for a follow-up appointment. But I'll be back on the beat full-time tomorrow. In the meantime, CSNwashington.com's Chase Hughes will take you through both of today's games, so please check back here for updates from him throughout…
DODGERS at NATIONALS – GAME 1
Where: Nationals Park
Gametime: 1:05 p.m.
Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WFED (1500 AM), XM 189

Gulp. Looks like his having trouble with his sinker already. Four pitches, and he's given up a single and a double!

Wang sinker not working. Only two good pitches were sliders.
- Bowdenball - Sep 8, 2011 at 5:14 PM
I can't look at that link at work, NatsLady. But I think you misinterpreted the data. I've never in my life seen a major league baseball team that was given only a 22% chance to win a game. That would require a team to be listed as somewhere north of +400 on the money line, which is far beyond anything I've ever seen. Even +200 lines are rare.Although if it was ever appropriate, it would be for a Chien-Ming Wang start. It was fun but it's way past time to pull the plug on this experiment. It actually concerns me a bit that the front office hasn't seen that already.
- Eugene in Oregon - Sep 8, 2011 at 5:19 PM
My recollection is that the Meadows Farm golf course (near Fredricksburg) had a 'zero' hole that you played first when you left the clubhouse. The hole wasn't listed on the scorecard and the apparent notion was that you needed a real-course warm-up to get your nerves squared away before you began keeping score. Essentially it was a no-harm start to a round of golf.Perhaps Mr. Wang could use a 'zero' inning to start off each game?

Bowdenball, maybe it means 22% are betting on the Nats?
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Eugene: when I saw him in Chicago, he warmed up for longer than I have ever seen a pitcher warm up. He was out there easily a half hour before the Cubs' pitcher. Maybe it just wasn't possible to have that kind of warm up given the weather?
- Bowdenball - Sep 8, 2011 at 5:23 PM
That would make a little more sense, NatsLady. The kind of people who bet on a Dodgers-Nationals game at 1 PM on a Thursday are also the kind of people that can look beyond the ERA and W-L numbers and see that the 2011 version of Wang is easily the worst starting pitcher in baseball.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 8, 2011 at 5:25 PM

Is Strasburg available out of the bullpen?
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:01 PM
Well, that was bad luck for Wang (Morse missing that ball). On the other hand, Nats may have caught a break on the previous play, looked like a tie at the plate on replay. Dodgers didn't argue it, though.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:04 PM
Whoever was asking about UZR, there is an example of how Morse's fielding percent does not reflect his fielding. He doesn't get an error, but he let a pretty "routine" fly ball turn into a double and two runs.
- Bowdenball - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:05 PM
NatsLady-It was a hard line drive. Morse should have caught it for sure, but Wang shouldn't have had two men on base and then allowed a hard line drive to the outfield.At some point the excuses need to stop and we all need to accept that Wang is simply the worst starting pitcher in major league baseball. I've been singing this same chorus for weeks now. I don't enjoy being right about a Nats player being terrible, but at some point we all need to take off the red and white blinders and accept reality. And that includes the front office.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:07 PM
Bowdenball, I didn't say Wang pitched well. He got lucky on the first play, and unlucky on the second. Shouldn't have to depend on "luck."
- LoveDaNats - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Lombo looks like a left-handed Werth at the plate. Let's hope he hits better.
- Bowdenball - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:11 PM
I wasn't picking a fight, NatsLady, just using your post to make my point. Seems we're in agreement.The only question left is how to get Peacock ready to take Wang's spot in five days. He threw a good number of pitches two days ago, so it's kind of tricky. Maybe let him do a couple more innings today and then treat those two outings combined like a start and give him normal rest before the spot comes up again?
- baseballswami - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:12 PM
And — Michael Morse is not a left fielder. You just cannot fault him for not getting a read on a ball in a position he is not trained for and has very little experience with. I am sure that he will try to learn the position but you can't make up for years of experience as an infielder that quickly. It takes years to learn to play a position really well. He already made himself into a serviceable first baseman. If he had always been a left fielder you could crucify him. Sounds like it's a good thing I am following the game on the computer at work and not watching.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:12 PM
Bowdenball– I wouldn't go so far as to say we're in agreement. I'm not ready to give up on Wang.

NatsLady, I hope you're right. Especially now that we're back in this thing. Part of me is hoping for a long enough rain delay to get Wang out of this game.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Well, I'm not Rizzo or Davey, but I don't have enough information on Wang. He has good innings and bad innings. That's frustrating, no doubt. But the upside is very high on a pitcher like Wang (is there another pitcher like Wang?). I don't see that kind of upside on someone like Detwiler…who has had a LOT of chances.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 6:26 PM
Agree on Lombo. He is the hero and it won't show in the box score.But I do like Werth's homer, and the one he had before this one. No-doubters. Haven't seen a lot of those from him this year.

Drew has not pitched much at all in the last couple of weeks. I am not the only poster that has been expressing concern about it.Relievers, especially closers, need regular work, even during losing streaks. It's a shame, but he has had a remarkably good year. I think this is his worst outing all year, no? I also think he needs to get back on the mound just as soon as possible.He has always pitched best when he pitched often. This has been more than rust – it's way too much time off.

Not to mention the fact that we have had a decent offense in basically only one inning. The game also would have been changed if the ump had gotten the call right on Jayson Werth's ball that went up against the wall.

This is one depressing team to watch. If Riggleman was still in that dugout right now with this record and the way this team is playing — all of you would have been ready to crucify him.

…..AND there goes the hopes for a season near .500. It's a race for the cellar. At least it will be after 5pm when the next game starts and I can open the wine.

Offense did a great job of picking up Wang. Just tough to watch a walkoff opportunity turn to a 3 run relief blowup by Storen to lose the tie and the game.
- natsfan1a - Sep 8, 2011 at 8:56 PM
LDN, I already had some chocolate cake, because there's no rule saying you have to wait 'til 5 p.m. for *that.* :-)I think I'll just set the DVR and not watch game 2. (Except that I know I'll be clicking over to steal peeks 'cause I can't turn away. Le sigh.)
- RPrecupjr - Sep 8, 2011 at 9:24 PM
Note to Davey Johnson: Never, ever, ever, ever (I seriously canNOT say this enough) put your closer in in a tie game. This is Storen's third loss of the season. ALL have come when he enters a tie game. And to compare, Mariano Rivera has two losses this season….BOTH when entering in a tie game. I'm willing to bet if I went through every team's closer's stats and looked at their losses, I would find the vast majority happened when the closer came in in a tie game. I don't know why it happens, but it does. Please make a note of it Davey, preferably before the second game starts.

Aug. 23 court hearing set for CPUD past general manager
Former Chester Public Utility District general manager William D. Turner is scheduled to have a pre-trial conference Aug. 23 in Plumas County Superior Court.
Turner, who was also the district's fire chief, pleaded "not guilty" to felony embezzlement charges during his July 26 arraignment.
The 54-year-old is accused of using a utility district credit card to pay a $1,720 tab at a Nevada strip club Oct. 26, 2010.
The complaint alleges Turner later authorized the district to pay the credit card bill, without approval of the CPUD's board of directors.
Turner's attorney, Robert Zernich, filed a motion that would allow Turner to not appear at certain court proceedings.
Plumas County Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman granted the motion, but ordered Turner to go through the booking process prior to his Aug. 23 court date.
Turner announced his retirement from the district in November 2011. However, he continued to work for the CPUD through 2012.
In July, the Plumas County Grand Jury accused the CPUD board of directors at the time of failing to supervise Turner. The grand jury said the board allowed Turner to spend the district's money without its approval — including cutting his own paychecks.
District Attorney David Hollister said the complaint against Turner was the result of a "lengthy" investigation by his office's investigators and sheriff's detectives.
Turner is accused of spending the $1,720 at the French Quarter Men's Club in Reno.

quote:Originally posted by librumSteve,I am rambling a bit here, as it is all spinning in my head and not settling very well.
quote:What I am having problems with is direction on where to go with the Librum site.I did ask Majere. His reply was voicemailed back. In a Darth Vader imitation. ''Use the Logs, Sarah''. Sometimes I could just scream at him!
quote:What I really need is computer savvy people, a forum of them, to let me bounce questions and ideas of you f, as I am still very much a newbe at this. I can not use my own people for obvious reasons.
quote:For example, when I looked at the old logs, I decided to drop the online direct downloadable ebooks. There were only 233 downloads. Seven registrations. That took 22% of the bandwidth used. Did not even pay the bandwidth. And thank you again for your help in those uploads. Yes, the new host is much nicer on uploads!
quote:And when I look at the access''s of some of the online works, some are so dead! And not the ones I would have thought would be.
quote:So, should I reload the ''dead'' ones?
quote:Or, should I try to drum up linkage useage via search engines?
quote:From my experiences with search engines, I am much dissapointed. They seem to only hit the top index file, follow it a little bit and then stop. If I could seed the engines by online ''work'', that would help. But not getting anywhere.
quote:Or, should I do as Amos has suggested, create ''Archive'' ebooks, which would include several works, works not on the site any more, and have them available at our very reasonable prices. Oh, keep them in the master indexes, but not reload the ''dead'' works. The CDs and DVDs sell well, but not registrations. People just do not understand the registration system. So prekeyed archived? That would take a bit of work to do, as the ebook software does not ''bridge'' directories.
quote:Another irksome issue is that there are a lot of hosts out there that say ''unlimited bandwith and storage'', until one reads the terms. And in my search, I looked at over forty hosts, not one would allow me to send a dvd or series of cds to quick load the site.
quote:Fuzzit suggested rebuilding the BBS again. The old hardware and software is still available. The issue is that the best bandwidth I could get would be 128k. The days of ''shotgunning'' 56k modems, via a Blackboard-8 card, as Majere did, are gone. Oh, I have the modems, and the lines, but nobody supports ''shotgun'' (shared static ip) anymore.
quote:128k is not good enough. I glanced at requested prices for co-location, they are way out of our budget.
Thank you Farside!
First update, we have brought back our DVD#1, and two to three are mailing out each day. It is the V5 edition of the ebook software. This is the same v4 editions as available on site with the in-ebook registraton. Basically everything that is V5 is on these. Avail via eBay or direct mail.
Second update. The V6/7 work is going well. V6/7 are the new trial/registered 'FlipAlbum' format we are experimenting with. Some of the V4/5 are being converted.
Third update. DVD#2, Audels Carpenters and Builders Guides (all four volume set) are converted to V7. We are getting rave reviews at the ability to 'blow up' the graphics. The D.C. Carpenters Union just ordered 500. Thier masters wanted them for reference.
Fourth update. DVD#3. Audels Gardeners and Growers Guides (all four volume set) is to be converted to V7. No ETA yet. Available in V5. Very popular.
Fifth update. DVD#4. The PDF collection has been discontinued. eBay piracy.
Sixth update. DVD#5. Foxfire #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, and JONA #0, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 compilation nearing completion. #6 is the hold out. JONA: Journal of the New Alchemists (great Mother like flavor)
Seventh update. The ICS Research project is ongoing. A look through the incomplete index will give anyone a chance to see the beauty of these! My own little one got me with a 'mommy' question. Mensuration? Great for any handy man, or homeschooling mom.
I must get back to work. I have more DVD#1s to label.

Soapsuds Hollow: City property includes memories
The Tribune recently reported that the Dell Rapids City Council is considering the option of selling some of its property. One of the properties mentioned is the land and buildings along the river, across from Rickeman Field to the north.The City once had a "gas plant" there, and the City provided natural gas to local businesses and residents. That building is long gone now, but a large storage building remains, as well as the "warming house."Back in the 1970's, the high school classes spent a great deal of time and effort building floats for the homecoming parade. A garage would be located for the flatbed hay wagon, and work would begin each evening. Chicken wire would be attached as a skirting, and then stuffed with napkins and adorned with colorful lettering and signs. The top would then be decorated to reflect the theme of the parade. Each class would build a float, and it was important to find a garage which could be locked to safeguard the float from sabotage.Our class used the old gas plant one year, as it contained a large shop with a garage door. I distinctly remember this particular year because I put a staple through one of my fingertips with a staple gun as I was attaching the chicken wire to the flatbed. I believe it was Dan Wildermuth who quickly came to my rescue, yanking the staple free. As Coach Mike Stadem would say, "It's a long way from your heart."The stone building on the riverbank at this property was used as a "warming house" for ice skaters. In those days, skaters used the frozen Big Sioux River, and the City would clear the snow from the ice. Herman Kroger worked inside the warming house, assisting kids with lacing up their skates, and he also kept an old stove stoked with coal and wood to keep us warm. If there wasn't much snow on the ice outside of the cleared area, one could skate all the way to the old bath house at the east end of the City Park. As a grade school kid who was lucky to navigate without breaking a bone, it amazed me to see the older kids show off their talents. Kathy Fields and Roxie Unger could skate backwards, which left us awestruck. Prior to the days of electric refrigerators, ice was cut from the river for use in ice boxes. Before it was the "warming house," that little quartzite building was used for ice storage. The ice would be cut with large, long saws, and then packed into the building with straw, insulating the ice so that it could last into the summer months. When Mike and Jeannine Park bought their house on 5th Street, the small access door outside on the kitchen wall still remained, ready to accept the ice delivery.Things have certainly changed. Today, kids have to be older than 16 before they can use a knife on the job at a restaurant, and probably cannot use a staple gun, either. The high school kids are allowed one or two days to build their float for the homecoming parade, and ice skating is done at your own risk on the river. Refrigerators are equipped with ice makers, and also dispense cold water.When I see the City employees mowing the grass in the park, I think of Herman and his old tractor with the belly mower and umbrella. I wonder how many skates he laced in his lifetime.

# Remastersys
deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/
This announcement post is being done from a remastered Ubuntu 8.04 install that was directly installed from the cd like the original Ubuntu livecd!
For those interested in the road to 2.0-5, here is the rest of the changelog:
2.0-4 - fixed issue with some system for creating livecd user
- added further cleanup of /var for the dist version livecd
- added a check for size - checking to make sure iso size is bigger than filesystem.squashfs since
if it isn't then they have tried to backup too much data and the iso couldn't be created
2.0-3 - fixed issue with user creation if running dist after backup
- changed boot method for livecd to graphical grub
- changed method for making the livecd to provide clean passwd,group,shadow,gshadow files by copying /etc over to dummysys and altering from there

- removed sbm
2.0-2 - fixed issue with authentication for backup mode

- added creation of an md5sum for the iso file
- fixed the issue with md5sums.txt on the livecd iso
- removed the need for an original livecd - the livecd is now completely made from scratch
- corrected the /var omissions
- added remastersys-gui which also alows changes to the /etc/remastersys.conf file
1.7 - had to revert back to separate squashfs calls 2G limit still there

1.6 - combined dummy filesystem and main in one call to overcome 2G limit
with squashfs erroring on lseek
1.5 - added more accurate testing for which login manager is used
1.4 - added ubiquity-frontend-kde for kde distros
1.3 - added /etc/remastersys.conf
- added cdfs and iso option
- added custom iso naming to commandline option
- added ability to change the livecd username in the config file
- added ability change the livecd label in the config file
1.2 - moved base dir to /home/remastersys from /remastersys since not all
users will have a large root partition
1.1 - added more checking for temp folders
1.0 - First release.
First of all: Upload your souces too for a deb-src entry. Then: how about creating images from scratch? Similar to live-helper?
Its a script so it is the source. This is for Ubuntu and variants to make either a livecd backup or distributable iso.
I will be working on a debian only version in the near future but for now it is only for Ubuntu and variants.
I'm fairly new to the whole debian package thing so any tips you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Most of my Linux life was with Slackware.

My skin looks so dull lately. How can I get a luminous complexion? Luminous skin is even-toned, radiant, and smooth. Due to age as well as environmental stress, our skin starts losing luminosity, but with these 5 key tips, you can recapture and maintain luminous skin well into old age:
Have a question? Ask us through our LIVE CHAT. Previous QuestionsHow can I control my frizzy hair? The first step is to determine the cause. Some people with curly hair are prone to "the frizzies," but excessive blow-drying, coloring, or use of products containing alcohol can exacerbate the problem. It might also be time to switch shampoos. Try a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to combat dryness. If your hair is damaged from over-drying or coloring, it will benefit from a conditioning treatment which will help prevent protein loss and strengthen hair fibers. Using a weekly treatment mask can also help restore lost moisture, as they are more concentrated than regular conditioners. Rinsing your hair with cool water will "close" the cuticles and add to a smoother look. A styling product such as pomade can help control your hair without weighing it down. Warm a small amount in your hands and work it through your hair, without touching your scalp to avoid looking oily. If you use a blow dryer, don't use the highest heat setting, and always point the air downward. Running the dryer up and down can cause the cuticles to split and frizz. It is also recommended to use the "cool" setting for the last few minutes of drying your hair to help seal the cuticles.
Have a question? Ask us through our LIVE CHAT. My hands are so dry they itch and are starting to crack - help! What can I do? So many of us have this problem in the winter there is actually a name for it. While 'winter itch' might seem inevitable, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep your hands soft and supple even in the harshest winter weather. Wash your hands in lukewarm – never hot – water, which actually robs your skin of moisture. Take extra care to protect your hands while doing household chores, especially dishes or anything where your hands will get wet. Always wear gloves when you go out into the cold. Apply a rich moisturizer after washing, ideally one containing glycerin or Shea butter. Many women prefer rich, creamy facial creams in the winter, rather than lighter lotions they might use during warmer weather. The same is true of our hands. We carry a vast selection of rich, creamy moisturizers that will give your skin a protective barrier against the harsh elements. Here are a few to get your started: My husband could use some help when it comes to grooming. He's doesn't have a clue beyond a razor and can of shaving cream. What are some "gifty" things I can give him for Christmas? One of the most satisfying things about giving a gift is when you know it can and will benefit the recipient. Your dilemma is to give something personal yet practical and helpful too. We have just the thing! Although there are men who are well-groomed and understand why skin care products enhance their appearance and improve their general hygiene, there are others who feel it's too complicated, not necessary or for women only. The truth of the matter is, the more that men commit to a routine like yours, the better they'll look and feel – and it's not just for appearance sake, it's for their skin's general health too. We carry a wonderful selection of gifts for men. Kits that are basic enough to get them on track and other sets for guys who are already taking care of themselves but appreciate being introduced to more. Whether your guy needs a jump-start or you have a metro man in your life, try any of these:

The most effective method? Nutrients derived from our diet. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time or know-how to be consistently successful. However, nutritional supplements have become the most convenient way to supply the body with everything it needs for optimum-looking skin. There are two ways to incorporate supplements into your skin care routine. A popular trend is boosting the water you drink with antioxidants to not only fight damaging free radicals but combat the signs of aging as well. In addition, water boosters increase the effectiveness of topical sunscreens so you have less chance of burning and long-term damage. Products to boost your water:
Another way to supplement your diet effectively is to take supplements in pill form. Vitamins improve specific conditions such as dryness, anti-aging, inflammation and detoxification. Here's a look at what a few vitamins do to specifically benefit your skin:
A few pill suppliments to try:
To maintain healthy skin, remember to look for quality ingredients in the products you apply to your face and body, and seek out the best supplements to add to your diet. Does my skin type change when the seasons change? Evidence of change in your skin will occur with the seasons. You may feel drier in colder months, oilier in warmer months and notice breakouts occurring intermittently between seasons. However, these are all referred to as skin conditions; your skin type never changes. As a rule, always treat the condition then the type. Let's review characteristics of each skin type: Oily Skin: Occasional breakouts, congested skin and comedones. You will be oily over your entire face and most likely
have an oily shine 2-4 hours after cleansing. We all suffer from some sort of condition on a regular basis. The key is to have supplemental products to treat them.
Our overall goal with skincare is to maintain balance in the skin to keep it healthy. Treat your skin condition as it comes. Just remember, your skin type stays the same. Even though I've tried several concealers and foundations, I can't seem to find any cosmetic that properly covers the large pores on my face. Can I do something to make them smaller? In general, there are two contributors to having large pores: genetics and age. People who have oily or thicker skin tend to have enlarged pores, and as people get older, sun damage and a decrease in the skin's elasticity can be a factor for pores to increase in size. Unfortunately, there isn't anything available on the market that can permanently reduce or "shrink" pore size. However, there are several products that address this condition and help make your pores less noticeable. Be sure to cleanse your face well. Debris and oil can cause pore blockage, stretching the pores and making them appear larger. A good cleanser to address this contains BHAs and AHAs. Also, exfoliate on a regular basis. Exfoliation rids the skin of dead cells which can block pores and also contribute to the problem. Finally, before applying makeup, use a foundation primer. Not only does it even out your skin tone, but the primer also creates a barrier so your foundation won't sink into the pores. Pores are vital to the health of your skin. The oil they deliver maintains suppleness and hydration to your skin. If you do have large pores, there's a good chance you have an oily skin type. Later in life, this may be to your advantage—the natural moisture in your pores will help the skin age better by delaying or minimizing the drying and wrinkling that occurs. And that's a good thing. Here are some products to try:Help! My heels are cracked and callused and summer just started. Will smooth, soft feet be impossible for me? Cracked, callused heels are a common condition caused by dry skin. Going barefoot and wearing sandals in the summer can easily aggravate this problem. Besides looking unattractive, it can actually become painful. It's important to identify whether you're dealing with a cosmetic condition or a possible health issue. Be sure to talk to your physician if you develop deep and/or bleeding cracks on your heels. If you simply need to step up your foot care routine like most of us, here are a few things to do to get you on the right track:
It's not impossible to keep feet looking their best—it just takes a bit of extra time and effort to show them off confidently! How can I reduce the appearance of scars on my legs? Scars are evidence of healing. The deeper the damage, the more scar tissue forms. Inflammation and discoloration are normal and in many instances, lessen after time. Although no product on the market can make a scar completely disappear, some help to diminish the appearance. There are products that reduce redness or purple discoloration (known as hyperpigmentation) and some that can help minimize inflammation or flatten the surface of a scar. It's important to identify the type of scar you have before treating it as some products are specific to scar type. Are the scars from an injury or surgery? Are they raised (Keloid), recessed/pitted or appear stretched? Remember, you can always talk to you physician about options. For at-home care, consider the following. Products that address hyperpigmentation caused from scarring: Products to help decrease the appearance of Keloid scars: You can pair any of the above products with a corrective cosmetic specifically for covering imperfections on the body from Dermablend.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble, anti-oxidant vitamin found in several skin care products. Its powerful benefits have been shown to promote healthy looking skin. Vitamin C aids in the production of collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. When applied topically, it also helps prevent and correct free radical damage due to environmental and internal stressors. Some common internal stressors are stress, lack of sleep and poor diet. External stressors include sun exposure, cigarette smoking and pollution. Although Vitamin C isn't the only anti-oxidant used in skin care products, it is one that provides noticeable results when used regularly. Consider including these products with Vitamin C in your regimen: I have dark circles that won't go away! I'm tired of looking tired is there anything I can do? Although dark circles are often genetic, several effective products can help. To see long-term results, use a vitamin K gel or cream like Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue under the eyes to help strengthen capillaries, diminishing the 'blue eye' appearance. Vitamin C based eye serums or creams such as La Roche Posay Active C Eyes provide antioxidant protection and make the eye area more resilient. Other contributing factors could be the cause for your dark circles, such as: sun damage, smoking, excessive caffeine and alcohol. As we get older, dark circles become more prominent—the skin under our eyes becomes thinner and our blood vessels become more visible. It's never too early to care for the delicate skin around the eyes with proper skin care and healthy, lifestyle choices. Tip: For a quick fix, you can pair either of the above products with a corrective cosmetic like Exuviance Cover Blend Multi Function Concealer or Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Concealer. Apply before foundation to minimize any darkness. What's the difference between Prevage Anti-Aging Treatment by Elizabeth Arden/Allergan and Sovage Idebenol? Although the products have similar ingredients, the actual antioxidants are different. Prevage contains an antioxidant by the name of Idebenone or Co-Q-9. Sovage's Idebenol contains a combination of botanical antioxidants and does not include any Idebenone. Both products are similar in benefits as they were created for "anti-aging" results. Prevage is lighter in consistency so it is typically preferred by consumers who have a combination to oily skin type, however, dry skin types can use this product. Sovage Idebenol is a cream based formula preferred by dry skin customers. |

Another excellent first half and a hot start out of the halftime break by the Wilmington University women's lacrosse team was negated as Georgian Court came back to score seven of the final eight goals, including three of four in overtime, and defeat the Wildcats, 16-14, at the Kirkwood Soccer Complex on Tuesday afternoon.
The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference leading Lions (7-2, 6-1 CACC) were on their heels for a majority of the game and the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 CACC) took their largest lead, 13-9, with 18:05 to play in regulation before the two-time defending CACC Tournament champions responded.
Wilmington used a stretch of scoring four of the games five goals from the 20 minute mark to the 10 minute mark of the first half to take control of the contest early on. Tied at 2-2, Liz Case put the Wildcats in front with her second goal of the game on a free position shot, followed by Jaclyn Hall's second goal with 18:41 to play in the first to make it 4-2.
After Georgian Court closed to within one, Jessica Graybeal and Megan Keffer gave the 'Cats their largest lead of the first half with back-to-back goals. Keffer's free position goal came with 10:46 to play in the opening stanza, giving the home team the 6-3 advantage.
The Lions tallied the next three goals to tie the game at 6-6, and again at 7-7 with 2:27 to play. Keffer put the Wildcats up one heading into the halftime break with a unassisted goal with 1:57 remaining, 8-7.
The Wildcats came out smoking in the second half as well, scoring the first two goals, and five of the first seven goals overall in the half to take a commanding 13-9 lead. Five different Wildcats scored during the run, as Jaclyn Hall opened the second half with a goal 30 seconds after the opening whistle. She took the control of the draw and knifed through the defense and scored her third goal of the game. Rebecca Guethler, Keffer, Meggan Apgar and Jess Stratton also scored during the run.
But that is where Olivia Rotunno and the Lions took over. Trailing by four, Georgian Court started its run with a goal by Molly McCourt with 16:18 to play in regulation. Neither team could find the back of the net until eight minutes later, as Rotunno scored the first of her three consecutive goals with 8:28 on the scoreboard.
After another long break in the scoring, Rotunno made it a one goal game with a goal off a fee by Samantha Shaw with 1:46 to play, and the Lions cut the deficit to 13-12.
Looking to run the clock out, the Wildcats' Ashley Kroll earned the draw control with 1:38 to play, but Georgian Court came up with a turnover and regained possession at the 1:25 mark. The Lions' McCourt got the ball to Rotunno who beat Wildcat goalkeeper Kaitlyn Hall with the game-tying goal with 1:02 to play.
Jaclyn Hall got the following draw control for the Wildcats and eventually got to the front of the cage with less than 10 seconds remaining, but could not get a shot off as the ball was forced out of her stick, sending the game into extra periods.
GCU's Stephanie Gallo turned a save by her goalkeeper into a goal in the first overtime session, putting the Lions up 14-13 with 50 seconds left in the first half of the overtime period. But back went Jaclyn Hall who picked the draw and sprint down to retie the game at 14-14 only 12 seconds later.
The second three-minute stanza did not go as well for the Wildcats, as Jaclyn Hall had a free position shot with 2:02 left in overtime but was stuffed at the doorstep but the Lions' Amanda Cathcart. Less than 30 seconds later, McCourt was down the other end of the field scoring the game-winning goal.
Rotunno added her sixth goal of the game with five seconds left in overtime, making it 16-14, as the Lions were playing keep-away after winning the draw control.
Jaclyn Hall scored four goals for the Wildcats as Keffer also scored a hat trick with three goals off the bench. Case added two goals and two assists while Rebecca Guethler tacked on two goals as well.
Kaitlyn Hall recorded seven saves in the cage for the Wildcats, but fell to 5-4 overall on the season. Cathcart made eight stops for the Lions, who outshot the Wildcats 32-28 during the game.
Wilmington is off this week from any action and returns to the field with their second of three consecutive home games on Wednesday, April 11 with a CACC matchup against Chestnut Hill. The opening draw is set for 3:00 p.m.
