Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.
This article explores the underlying causes of the May 2013 riots across several Stockholm suburbs that have high proportions of foreign-born residents, and asks whether rapid increases in the size of Sweden's immigrant population or the government's integration efforts played a central role.
A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
This year has seen greater focus by policymakers in countries around the world on the balance between two enduring, complex migration management imperatives: maintaining secure and credible borders while separating out unauthorized immigrants from the most vulnerable populations in need of humanitarian protection, particularly those seeking refuge from conflict and persecution.
The murder of an anti-fascist rapper in 2013 dealt a severe blow to Greece's extremist, virulently anti-immigrant political party Golden Dawn, whose popularity had been increasing (relatively unchecked) since 2010. The party, which rejects the neo-Nazi label that many have applied to it, provoked a national outcry in September after a party sympathizer confessed to killing Pavlos Fyssas.

HARP Refinance Mortgage Lenders in Warrensburg
HARP Refi Program Overview
Known as HARP 2.0, HARP 3.0, DU Refi Plus or the Obama Refinance Program #MyRefi, the Home Affordable Refinance Program is designed to assist Missouri homeowners in refinancing their mortgage when the value of their home has declined, making traditional refinancing no longer an option.
HARP stands for the Home Affordable Refinance Program, which is a government loan program that was recently updated to help more people who have underwater mortgages.
Since many homeowners were caught in a time period of rapidly declining property values, there was a need to create a refinancing opportunity for those that lost significant value in their properties but made their mortgage payments on time.
Refinancing your Warrensburg mortgage through the Obama Administration's HARP program will could help you save hundreds of dollars on monthly payments or obtain a more secure loan program, regardless of how much your home will appraise for.
Basic Missouri HARP Eligibility Requirements
- Your home loan is guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
- Your loan was originated on or before May 31, 2009.
- You are current on your mortgage payments.
- You have had NO thirty day late payments for six months.
- You have had NO sixty day late payments for 12 months.
- You owe more than 80% of your home's estimated value.
You can check to see if your Warrensburg loan is eligible for Missouri HARP by CLICKING HERE, or feel free to call our HARP Approval Hotline at 866-267-5330 to speak with an approved HARP Mortgage Lender in Warrensburg who specializes in underwater mortgage refinance options.
Benefits Of Refinancing With HARP
Bottom Line - The HARP program that is specifically tailored for borrowers suffering from negative equity does not have the same set of requirements or criteria as traditional or conventional loans.
- Unlimited Loan-to-Value Restrictions - to allow more people to refinance, regardless of their home's appraised value.
- Lower Banking Fees & Rates - by allowing lender participation, homeowners can shop around for the best deal vs being stuck with the bank that they are currently making their mortgage payments to.
- Owner, Investment, Second Homes OK - not just limited to owner occupied properties, investors and landlords can benefit with a HARP Mortgage Refinance as well.
- Less "Red Tape" - removing many of the barriers that have previously prevented people from refinancing, such as appraisals, complicated subordination agreements with second lenders and mortgage insurance transfers.
Getting Started With Your Missouri HARP Loan
Refinance Options For Underwater Homeowners in Missouri
This new refinance program is intended to be as easy and streamlined as possible through the entire process. Even second mortgage subordination agreements and Mortgage Insurance contingencies are not posing as major road blocks.
Step 1) Determine if your loan is with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have adopted changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and you may be eligible to take advantage of these changes if your mortgage is owned or guaranteed by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The following websites will help you determine if your mortgage is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac:
Step 2) Contact a HARP Mortgage Lender to submit your initial HARP Application and obtain an initial pre-approval based on your eligibility status.
Don't Give Up
If you or someone you know was unsuccessful in getting their mortgage refinanced with the first lender you speak with, keep in mind that you can contact a qualified HARP specialist with HARP Approval at 866-267-5330 to discuss your options or learn more about the proposed HARP 3.0 extended guidlines that may be coming in the near future.
Top Five HARP FAQ's From Homeowners in Warrensburg
What if I am really upside-down on my mortgage, can I still qualify for HARP?
YES - The new updates to the Home Affordable Refinance Program were primarily to address the millions of homeowners who had lost equity in their properties due to the financial crisis by removing the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits on HARP Eligible properties for borrowers who refinance under HARP with a fixed rate mortgage. However, the LTV limitation for a refinance into an ARM is maxed out at 105% LTV.
How long will the HARP program be available?
HARP has been extended until Dec 31, 2015, and your refinance must be completed on or before that date to qualify under the HARP 2.0 guidelines.
Can I get a principle reduction under the HARP Program?
NO - The purpose of HARP is to help borrowers reduce their monthly mortgage payment or refinance into a more stable program, such as from an ARM to a fixed-rate mortgage.
Can I get cash-out to consolidate debts?
NO - There is no cash-out option for the Home Affordable Refinance Program.
What occupancy and property types are allowed under HARP?
One amazing benefit of the program is that the HARP Mortgage Program allows for non-owner occupied investment homes and second homes in addition to primary residences. The only difference is that the loan to value ratio for the HARP Mortgage Program on investment properties and second homes is that LTV ratio starts above 75% as opposed to above 80% for owner occupied properties.
This is a really good thing for not only the borrowers but also the housing markets. Non-owner occupied properties whether it is a second home or investment property will always be walked away from before primary residences. From a homeowner psychology standpoint, there is no questioning this mentality.
How Effective Is The Obama Refinance Program?
A Government Program That Works
According to the most recent FHFA Refinance Report, in October 2013, 46,387 refinances were completed through HARP, bringing the total refinances through HARP from the inception of the program to 2,989,204, and borrowers who refinanced through HARP had a lower delinquency rate compared to borrowers eligible for HARP who did not refinance through the program.
Additionally, the FHFA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a Mid-Program Assessment in August 2013 to evaluate the effectiveness of HARP and determined that near half of the four to five million anticipated borrowers have refinanced through the HARP refinance program since March 2009.
Additional HARP Program Insight
Possible Challenges For Homeowners
There are several factors that can determine the final approval of your new HARP Loan, such as Credit Scores, Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratios, Loan-to-Value (LTV), occupancy types… and so on. To complicate what should be a streamlined program for borrowers, each mortgage banking institution has their own set of lending guidelines or bank overlays that they generally follow without exception.
The good news for underwater homeowners is that there are plenty of HARP Lenders who specialize in new loan program and have the internal systems in place to effectively communicate with borrowers.
The Making Home Affordable Refinance Program was opened to all participating mortgage brokers, bankers and lenders on March 19, 2012, which is extremely beneficial to homeowners because it means you have the ability research your options with other mortgage companies for help with the HARP program, vs being restricted to having to exclusively deal with your current servicer or bank.
You can check to see if your Warrensburg loan is eligible for Missouri HARP by CLICKING HERE, or feel free to call us at 866-267-5330 to speak with an approved HARP Mortgage Lender who specializes in underwater mortgage refinance options.
Beware Of Scams
Even with the introduction of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), mortgage and loan modification scams are still a topic of concern for underwater homeowners who may be faced with possible foreclosure due to a loss of income or other disabling factor that prevents them from making their mortgage payments on time.
Scammers make promises that they can't keep, such as guaranteeing to "save" your home or lower your mortgage, usually for a fee, often pretending that they have direct contact with your mortgage servicer — which they do not. You can learn more about mortgage scams at MakingHomeAffordable.gov
Tips to Avoid Scams:
- Beware of anyone who asks you to pay a fee in exchange for counseling services. Real help is free.
- Beware of people who pressure you to sign papers immediately or who try to convince you that they can "save" your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your house.
- Do not sign over the deed to your property to any organization or individual unless you are working directly with your mortgage company to forgive your debt.
- Never make a mortgage payment to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.

New Zealand/CityLabelNZ
City Labelling in New Zealand has been evolving. This document has been created to try and set some standards.
City and County Naming
The City field should be used to specify the city, town or village for all the streets within it.
Rural roads that are in-between towns should be be left with No city.
Where possible, the simplest unique name should be used. In the case where two towns share the same name, the Region abbreviation can be added in brackets afterwards.
For example,
Lincoln, Canterbury |
Lincoln, Auckland |
It is preferable to have no suffix on whichever town is the larger or more well known.
The priority for no suffix goes in this order. City, Town, Village then Suburb.
In the above example Lincoln, Canterbury is a village and Lincoln, Auckland is a suburb.
Lincoln, Canterbury | = | Lincoln |
Lincoln, Auckland | = | Lincoln (AUK) |
Auckland | AUK | Manawatu-Wanganui | MWT | Taranaki | TKI |
Bay of Plenty | BOP | Marlborough | MBH | Tasman | TAS |
Canterbury | CAN | Nelson | NSN | Waikato | WKO |
Chatham Islands | CIT | Northland | NTL | Wellington | WGN |
Gisborne | GIS | Otago | OTA | West Coast | WTC |
Hawke's Bay | HKB | Southland | STL |
Urban Areas
To aid in an easy to understand client display, if the street is visible at higher zoom levels (Primary and above) the City field should be used to only specify the city, town or village. However if the city has suburbs and the street is only visible at closer zoom levels (Standard and below) this field should be the suburb. An alternate name with the City field with the other value should be added to aid the searching of roads in that area.
Lets take Kamo, Whangarei as an example.
For all primary and above roads in the area:
- Primary city: Whangarei
- Alt city: Kamo
Standard roads or lower in the area:
- Primary city: Kamo
- Alt city: Whangarei
Rural Areas
Excluding Motorways if a road is driven at open road speeds then it is classified as a rural road, and the Primary street details should have No City ticked, but an alternative name entered with the city which would be given in a postal address. Unlike Urban areas there is no difference between Primary and Standard roads in this case.
Lets take a road on State Highway 3 as an example.
When travelling on the Open Road (e.g. when the speed limit is greater than 80 km/h):
- Primary city: No City
- Alt city: City name listed for postal purposes
When not travelling on the Open Road (e.g. when speed limit 80km/h or lower):
Follow rules given under Urban Areas

Brennan's parting shot The 'for the children' lie
Anyone who has paid close attention to the way the school system functions could have reached this conclusion independently. The bureaucracy and the employee unions are brazenly self-interested, while the school board tends to bow to the political pressure brought by the well-organized and obstreperous unions. The trick, though, is that no one ever actually admits this. Until Brennan spoke at a Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce event last week.

So I'm not a PS3 user, but what does this mean for those who use PS3? Do they not have 3D acceleration anymore? AFAIK, there's still no nvidia support.
Phoronix: The Gallium3D Cell Driver Gets Dropped Too
Besides dropping the Intel 965 Gallium3D driver from mainline Mesa, the Gallium3D Cell driver has also been removed too...
So I'm not a PS3 user, but what does this mean for those who use PS3? Do they not have 3D acceleration anymore? AFAIK, there's still no nvidia support.
On the PS3 you're probably better off using the nouveau driver for the Nvidia GPU (it's an NV74 IIRC). I don't believe the Cell on the PS3 is actually directly hooked up to the rasterization hardware so in order to use the cell as the GPU you'd have to blit the images to the NV GPU anyways. The SPEs are more interesting as GPGPU processors for CUDA/OpenCL like jobs. The only real downside to PS3 owners is that Clover (Gallium3D-based OpenCL) won't support the cell, but anyone seriously targeting the Cell for performance uses the dedicated SPU compiler mode in GCC anyways.
wait nouveau works on ps3's gpu now? if so that's great to hear, but how well does it work?
if ps3 had more memory and if i had more money i would consider using ps3 as my main computer, but my computer now is better than ps3. maybe the next generation will be good enough.
Not if you don't install firmware that breaks booting into Linux. Anyone who bought one to play with for compute purposes probably fits into this camp.
Cell is dead as a platform for mainframes. Some aspects have been merged into newer POWER CPUs but for those aren't used on computers directly hooked to displays anyway
The only place IBM sells Cell directly is in blades like the QS22.
Trusting Sony enough to write tens of thousands of lines of code in Mesa and the kernel to support the PAYstation 3 was a mistake to begin with.
Sony is a DRM and old media company that thrives on misusing Linux for tax evasion purposes (PAYstation 2) and then decided to label it as a value added feature to the PAYstation 3. Then when a bunch of scientists decide to buy the PAYstation 3 simply because it's heavily subsidized and makes a neat and cost effective compute cluster due to Linux, Sony drops that support. This makes them guilty of fraud and false advertising.
Sony is slime. They're every bit as bad as Monoposoft and Crapple in their love of exploiting the user and crippling their products to satisfy big media cartels at the expense of the end user. It probably serves anyone who was foolish enough to buy a PAYstation 3 right. At least the RROD BOX 360 just has shoddy hardware. You know where Monoposoft stands on Linux support from the beginning. (Not that I advise buying one of those anyway).
Slightly off topic, but video game consoles this generation are just a complete and utter rip off. Has anyone but me noticed that games went up $10 each and that they only ship half the game on that disc and make you spend another $40 downloading it piece by piece from them?
You do know that using stupid names for company doesn't make you look smarter and them worse right?
Well, they are still criminals and thieves, and I am not. There's that.
Between them you have general fraud, false advertising, monopoly abuse, theft (I consider DRM a form of theft against the user), racketeering, tax evasion, and paying "independent" reviewers to spread libel about competitors. These people would all be in prison if they weren't rich.

Autumn Raspberries: Worth The Tantalizing Wait
In a hurry-up world, the garden keeps its own time. Old-fashioned plants like raspberries, asparagus and rhubarb ask us to slow down and wait for the sweet reward they offer. Commentator Julie Zickefoose revels in the waiting.
I have a friend who lives up in the mountains of North Carolina who loves to give me wonderful plants. Usually Connie gives me native prairie plants, and I plop them in the meadow, and it's no big deal. But this year she gave me raspberries. Not just any raspberries. Golden raspberries.
Now, giving someone five raspberry plants is kind of like giving someone a pony. You don't just plop raspberries in a meadow. You have to dig them a bed with nice rich soil and that bed has to have edging all around it, because raspberries root when the tips of their canes touch the ground. So you've got to make them a home where they will be content to stay.
I dug and dug and turned soil and threw the Virginia creeper out and made a nice fluffy bed. Then I dug a trench around the bed for the edging which still had to be bought. Then I collapsed from the heat and exertion, and had to be put in my own fluffy bed.
Two days later I pulled the raspberry plants out of their pots, smiling with satisfaction at the new white feeder roots they'd grown. I planted them in their new bed, piled fresh straw around them, and watered them down. Now all I have to do is wait a year for them to flower and fruit.
The raspberries went in right beside the asparagus, which my husband and I planted in 1992. Wanting to let the plants get established, we didn't harvest any for the first three years. But oh, the meals we've had since.
My father told me something that has stuck with me for 40 years. A neighbor was watching him as he planted dwarf fruit trees in our yard. "How long will it take for them to bear fruit?" he asked. "Oh, five, maybe six years," Dad replied. "Oh, I wouldn't bother planting fruit trees. I wouldn't want to wait that long," the neighbor said.
Dad was quiet for a moment. "You're already waiting. Might as well have some fruit to look forward to."
I look out from the kitchen window at the tidy little raspberry bed, new lime-green leaves just peeking up over the straw mulch. And I'm baking a fine golden raspberry tart in my mind, pulling the chilled dough up around a double handful of fruit, sprinkling a little sugar over the top, popping it in the oven to bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees. Already waiting.

What is Cat Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus, the clinical name for "sugar diabetes," is a condition that affects the concentration of glucose, a type of sugar, in a cat's blood. Diabetes in cats is rarely the result of a shortage of insulin (Type I Diabetes). More commonly, diabetes results when a cat's body has trouble using the insulin it has made properly (Type II Diabetes).
Insulin affects the way a cat's body uses food. When a cat eats, food is broken down into very small components that the body can use. One component, carbohydrate, is converted into several types of sugars, including glucose. Glucose is absorbed from the intestines into the blood. Once in the bloodstream, glucose travels to cells where it can be absorbed and used as a source of energy-if insulin is present. Without enough insulin, glucose can't enter cells and builds up in the bloodstream. So a cat may act hungry all the time and eat constantly, but still lose weight because its cells can't absorb glucose.
Most cats develop Type II Diabetes, in which their cells no longer respond normally to the amounts of insulin produced by the pancreas. While many cats initially require daily insulin injections, the treatment goal is to correct the factors or conditions causing insulin resistance. If these factors, such as obesity, can be adequately controlled, many cats will experience temporary remission or permanent resolution of their diabetes. Many cats with Type II Diabetes will experience marked improvement in their insulin sensitivity when changed to a species-appropriate high protein, low carbohydrate food. However, not all cats with diabetes are suited to this type of diet. Your veterinarian will conduct a thorough evaluation and recommend the most appropriate diet and treatment for your cat's diabetes.

If you think your cat may be at risk, make an appointment today to get your cat checked for diabetes.
We're here to help! Visit VCApetdiabetes.com to watch a video on how to give an insulin injection, monitor blood glucose with our eDiary, find expert advice and get support from our interactive community to help manage your cat's diabetes.
Diabetes is one of many conditions that can affect your cat and cause visible changes in behavior and other signs. That's why it's important your cat be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian at least once a year or more frequently, if your veterinarian advises.
- Drinks more water than usual (polydipsia)
- Urinates more frequently, produces more urine per day, or has "accidents" outside the litter box (polyuria)
- Always acts hungry (polyphagia), but maintains or loses weight
- Is less active or sleeps more (lethargic)
- Has thinning, dry, or dull hair
When evaluating your cat for diabetes, your veterinarian may ask about these signs and will check your cat's general health to rule out the possibility of other conditions or infections.
A sample of your cat's urine may be tested first for the presence of glucose, ketones, and/or a urinary tract infection. If glucose is present in your cat's urine, your veterinarian will want to determine your cat's blood glucose concentration and fructosamine concentration. If the blood glucose concentration is consistently higher than normal, your cat's pancreas may not be secreting enough insulin or your cat's body is "resistant" to the insulin being produced. Regardless of the cause for increased blood sugar, your pet is suffering from diabetes mellitus.
A diabetes diagnosis is considered definite when glucose is found at a persistently high concentration in blood and in urine.
- Diet–determining the best type of food for your cat. Cats, as carnivores, often have significant improvement in their blood sugar levels when placed on a high protein, low carbohydrate food. This is also the perfect time to address weight loss if your cat is overweight or obese.
- Insulin–how to store and administer it properly
- Hypoglycemia–how to identify and treat potentially life-threatening low blood sugar
- At-home monitoring you should perform and when you should alert your veterinarian. Ask how you should monitor your cat for the possibility of diabetes remission
- Recommended veterinary rechecks
- Diabetes Mellitus in Cats
Diabetes Mellitus is a disease of the pancreas. In simple terms, it is caused by the failure of the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Click on the link to learn more.
- Diabetes in Cats – Testing and Monitoring
There are several recommended tests to have done on your cat when Diabetes Mellitus is suspected. Cats can live happily and healthfully with diabetes if proper monitoring is performed by you at home and your cat has regularly scheduled visits with your veterinarian. For the best monitoring of a diabetic cat and the highest chance of diabetic remission, blood glucose can be checked by you at home. Ask your veterinarian if this monitoring approach might be right for you and your cat. Click on the link to learn more.
- Giving Injections to Cats
Diabetes Mellitus can be controlled in cats by administering daily insulin injections. Click on the link to learn more.

The "lette", I believe, refers to the latter half of "juggalette". It is short for juggalette.

Being a Lette..(short for Juggalette) isn't about how much merchandise you have or knowing every little detail about ICP. It's about being yourself- about seeing the world differently from normal society and not giving a fuck where your opinion fits in. Juggalettes don't take shit from other people, they know who they are and they accept it. They don't let any Feminem fans fuck with their family and they defend the family 100%. True Juggalettes know what it's like to be an outsider. It don't matter how many hatchetman tatoos you have, or how many ICP cds you own, it's about being yourself and not caring if other people don't like who you are. It's about knowing that you always have the family to lean on when you need support. And one of the most important things is being a true believer in the Dark Carnival and knowing that when life fails you, Shangri-La will always be a place for you to go. That's what a TRUE Juggalette is.

The motorcycle air conditioner (no, really)
The EntroSys motorcycle A/C system, delivering cooling air to the rider
Article Summary
Yes, a motorcycle air conditioner. As you can see in the picture, though, it's not as dumb as it sounds. In fact, it's pretty clever. Haven't you ever watched bikers riding around in the summer heat wearing full leathers, and wondered how they can stand it? They can't. They're boiling to death in there. Some opt to wear shorts and T-shirts instead, but from a safety standpoint... it's not a sensible alternative, let's put it that way. What is sensible is a process that pumps cooled air into a vest that the rider wears under their jacket. And that's just what the EntroSys Motorcycle Air Conditioning system is.

Bea Oglesby
Before Bea started quilting in the mid 1980s, she was not familiar with quilting in any form. However, she had a background in home economics, and with three daughters, she became an experienced seamstress. She also studied weaving and oil and watercolor painting, and she earned a certificate from the Sogetsu School of flower arranging. After Bea started quilting, and especially doing applique, she discovered how the painting and flower-arranging media were interchangeable with quilting designs in color and form. Since the mid-1990s, she has concentrated on her own designs of flowers, both cultivated and wild, and has taught and lectured extensively for quilt guilds in Kansas and Missouri. Published works include: "Wildflowers Album."

Annette Ornelas
Annette has always expressed a special interest in art and textiles. In 1991, when her husband was deployed to Desert Storm, she decided to enroll in a basic quilting course. When he returned, he was very surprised to find their house was quilted over. After being reassigned to Germany in 1992 and finding herself far removed from traditional quilting sources and her quilting friends, Annette explored her own quilting style. In more than a decade of teaching, she has earned a reputation for solving quilting problems creatively and putting her students at ease. She has been published in magazines here and abroad and publishes patterns through her own company, Southwind Designs. She aims to present complex-looking designs that are easy to piece, making curved designs achievable for all levels of quilters with her dimensional curved piecing. Annette lives in North Carolina with her husband, Mike, and son, Kyle.

We are located at 2169 Mission St., San Francisco.
We've gotten press coverage before, take a look.
What we do
Noisebridge is a hacker space.
Hacker, as in "people who like making new things and exploring how old ones work". (See also these two essays.)
See our Events page for examples of what we do.
Probably the best time for press to come to the space to meet a lot of people would be during 5 Minutes of Fame, our monthly series of lightning talks. Of course, if any of our other events interest you, you can come to those also.
We ask that you first contact us at the press email above before coming to the space, and identify yourself as a member of the press to anyone you speak to. The easiest way to do this is to ask someone to introduce you to the group at the beginning of an event.
Please note that photography is not allowed in the space without the permission of the people being photographed.

That's the Island Loop Route, one of only fourteen in the entire nation, with Lori Eschenburg at the county's Metropolitan Planning Commission saying the loop route provides boaters and paddlers with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to navigate four bodies of water, as well as pass by Michigan's oldest lighthouse and travel underneath the Blue Water Bridge. The dedication event is coming up Saturday at Bakers Field Park in Port Huron Township and it starts at 9:30am. Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow and Congresswoman Candice Miller will be in attendance. The day long celebration will see activities such as a scavenger hunt along the Black River Walk and tours of the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse.

Customer Reviews
- See result on 1st time use Review by JB, NY, USA
Quality Price Value After I turned 30s, I started getting patches of goose bump skin all over my body. After went to doctor, tried the prescription cream which didn't work. I started reseach online myself. I'm very happy to said that I tried DERMAdoctor KP Duty scrup 1st & now my goose bump skin is history within 2 months useage. I saw instant result on the 1st time use. BTW, I have very sensetive skin & the scrub doesn't irritated my skin at all. It's so wonderful to find a great product that works as it promised!
- good body scrub and product prep; not enough for my moderate case of KP Review by AS, Southern Oregon
Quality Price Value I have suffered from KP since my early teens. It is embarrassing and looks like I always have red goosebumps on my upper arms. Ive used KP duty kit (lotion plus exfoliation) for months and they improved my condidtion and made it a little less noticeable and more even-toned. The results were not as good as I had hoped because I still have a moderate case of KP. I think that if I had something stronger at first and then used the KP Duty as daily maintenance once the condition was under control it may work. Also it may work better for slight cases of KP and uneven, bumpy skin. As a body scrub this product does give you immediately smoother skin and makes any lotion you use after work better.
- Amazing Product!!! Review by Jodi, Fremont, CA
Quality Price Value My only regret is that I didn't find this product Two years ago. I have been using KP Duty on myself and my Four year old daughter for six months. After first use I noticed improvement. Today I am estatic to report that my arms are bump free!
- Great Stuff!! Review by North Carolina, USA
Quality Price Value I used this for its original intended use...getting rid of keratosis pilaris on my arms...and it worked SO well. I went from bumpy to smooth in just a few seconds. This is also awesome before self-tanner. Tip: Use it to fix self tanner mistakes -- in the shower, smear a little on the streak or blotch, wait a few minutes for the chemical exfoliants to do their thing, and then scrub for a few minutes. Bye-bye blotchies!!
- IT REALLY WORKS! Review by JZ, Orlando, Florida USA
Quality Price Value to start off with, I dont ever write reviews even if I am totally satisfied with the product that I used...but KP is so irritating and embarrasing that when I finally found and tried this stuff along with the lotion-- and have had great results, I had to let others know. I have always had bumps on my arms since I can remember (I am 24 now), I recently had a baby in March 07' and two months before I gave birth I got bumps all over my legs, thighs, stomach, back, butt, worse on my arms, ect... I thought it was just pregnancy hormones and the bumps would go away. But by the begining of May when I still had very bad bumps I came to the conclusion that it was KP and it probably wasnt going to go away on its own. So I went to the dermatologist and she perscribed Lactic Acid, which I put on night and day. It made my skin feel so gross, and the bumps were just more irritated. I had many nights of misery where my fiance didnt even know what to say. We always go on vacation in july with a ton of friends to mexico or somewhere where we spend 99% of the time in swimsuits on the beach, and I just couldnt bear to put on a swim suit looking like this. I was so proud that I lost all of the baby weight in 3 months, but my skin was out of control. so one night we were on the internet and came across this website and were desperate for something that would work. I got the lotion first then 2 days later decided to order the scrub since that is what is recommended. I am so serious, this stuff works. It made my skin soooo much smoother within the first couple of days, and within 2 weeks I have 75% less bumps. I have tanned a couple of times so it covers the dark pores on my legs, but you cant even tell since they are smooth. I use the scrub once a day and the lotion 2 times/ day. It works for me, and I am soooo grateful that this is out there. My dermatologist said that after I turn 30 it should start to go away, but I still have 6 more years, and I dont want to be wearing pants until then. Ha. good luck to all of you who have KP, this worked for me. I hope it works for you too!
- Excellent Product Review by FIN, Pittsburgh, PA
Quality Price Value this product works really well. my skin is so soft and clear. well worth the price and it lasts. Best scrub I ever tried.
- INCREDIBLE PRODUCT Review by cv, Tinton Falls, NJ USA
Quality Price Value I literally just stepped out of the shower ten minutes ago & ran to my computer to write a review for this product! Absoloutley the best thing that has ever happened to my skin!!! Soon after rinsing the scrub off my skin was the softest & smoothest its felt since I was a child! A little pricey but well worth it, the container is quite large & only a little is needed for the body. Its not just for kp, this stuff works on EVERYTHING .. rough patches, razor bumps, rough skin on your thighs & butt, literally everything & anything .. any skin problem you have & this just scrubs it all away!! truly an incredible product!! absoloutley a MUST HAVE scrube for those seeking SOFT SMOOTH SKIN..While using the scrub, I focused on each body part for 1-2 minutes at a time, massaging gently then rinsing with warm water. Also, do not soak your skin just keep it moist & if it becomes more difficult to exfoliate just add a little more water at a time .. Im telling you this is a miracle product!
- AMAZING!!! Review by SB, Overseas
Quality Price Value My workplace environment isn't nice to my skin, (I repair aircraft for a living,) and my skin has never felt very clean or soft. I always have small bumps after I shave and I just thought that it was the way I would always be. About two hours ago, I used KP Duty scrub, and I'm AMAZED! My room mate couldn't believe that my skin could be so soft after just one quick scrub, and even after scrubbing right after I shave (which is usually a very painful experience,) the scrub felt wonderfully soothing. On top of that, I barely had to use any product to achieve these results! The shirt that I'm in right now feels SO SOFT I feel like I'm a completely different person. I was worried about the high price tag, but I can already tell that this is going to last a LONG time. Just make sure that your skin is only moist when you use it. I turn off the shower after shaving and start to scrub from the neckline and work my way down. I can't believe that I didn't buy the lotion, that's where I'm headed after I'm finished writing this! THANK YOU SO MUCH DERMADOCTOR!
- Amazing Review by Independence, LA
Quality Price Value This product works wonders, actually saw a difference after using it only 2 times.
- These reviews are legit...so here is mine! Review by JP, Hampton, NH USA
Quality Price Value I had big and little red bumps all over my bum and not only that, but the skin on my bottom was very very rough and bumpy. I was so discouraged thinking it was completely unheard of and disgusting, but after googling my way around I found that my condition was KP. With every ounce of skepticism I found and tried KP Duty. It wasn't long before I noticed a clearer and much softer bum! The product is sensational and feels great when you rub it on your body. It exfoliates and gets rid of built up dead skin and yuck. I cleared up about 85% which is more than I could have asked for...we all can't be perfect! I hope it works for you, where-ever your KP may be.

American center Tony Wroblicky tries to get around Ohio State center Amir Williams during Wednesday's nonconference game. / Greg Bartram/USA TODAY
COLUMBUS — Amir Williams and Shannon Scott were McDonalds All-Americans in high school.
For most of their Ohio State career, however, they have been merely side orders.
Just in time, theyre stepping into the spotlight for the eighth-ranked Buckeyes.
Williams scored a career-high 16 points and Scott added 13 and matched a personal best with nine rebounds to lead Ohio State to a 63-52 victory Wednesday against American University.
Ive been working my tail off during the offseason and in practices as well just to have to some go-to moves in the post, said Williams, a 6-foot-10 junior who is averaging only three points and three rebounds per game in his first two seasons. Its looking like its finally starting to come alive. Im starting to feel a lot more confident. Once I see that ball going in the basket, I want to get the ball again to try to make another basket. Its a confidence thing. I hope it skyrockets.
Scott has spent his first two years as a defensive option if guard Aaron Craft got into foul trouble. He also was averaging three points per game but now is hitting for 12 per game.
We came in all summer and worked on our game, Scott said, speaking of himself and Williams. Weve got a better attitude this year as well. We know we have to be guys on this team that make plays happen.
The Buckeyes (4-0) struggled all night to make shots, finishing 20 of 56 from the field for 36 percent. They were rescued by Williams strong play inside he hit 6 of 9 shots from the field, 4 of 5 free throws and added seven rebounds.
We had 13 shots we missed at halftime that were right in the paint, coach Thad Matta said. Thank goodness Amir got us off to a pretty good start and was making some shots.
Scott added four assists and three steals. Craft had nine points and seven steals and freshman Marc Loving added nine points off the bench.
Ohio States a good team. Youve got to do a lot of things right to beat a team like that, first-year American U. coach Mike Brennan said. We had 27 turnovers and gave up 17 offensive rebounds, and that had a lot to do with the loss tonight. But theyre good. Theyre loaded. Theyve got a lot of weapons.
Jesse Reed scored 15 points, Tony Wroblicky had 14 and Darius Gardner 10 for the Eagles (1-2), who never led in the final 23 minutes but never really went away.
The Buckeyes were coming off an impressive 52-35 win Saturday against No. 17 Marquette in Milwaukee.
Up by five points at the break in this game despite shooting just 26 percent in the first 20 minutes, the Buckeyes stepped it up in the second half. Scott got things going by stealing the inbounds pass to start the half and hitting a layup.
Then Scott came off a pick by Williams and threw an alley-oop pass to Williams for a dunk to start a 5-0 run that pushed the lead to 10 points for the first time. Lenzelle Smith Jr., starting his 79th consecutive game, hit a foul shot before Williams made a left-handed hook for a 37-27 advantage.
But not until Smith hit a 3 with 3:22 left was it clear the Buckeyes were in command. That was part of a 9-0 run that pushed the lead to 16.
Ohio State improved to 19-3 against teams from the Patriot League.
Reed only had two points against UMBC after scoring 15 in the opener but they came at a perfect time. He hit a game-winning layup with one second left in the extra session for the win.
The Eagles led much of the first half, going up as much as 14-10 at the midpoint.
Their final lead was 20-17 on a shot inside by John Schoof at the 6:29 mark, with the Buckeyes closing the half by scoring 11 of the final 14. Craft missed his first five shots but hit two layups in the final 22 seconds for a 28-23 lead.
Longtime Big Ten referee Ed Hightower received a nice standing ovation when it was announced late he was working his final game at Value City Arena.
Americans sticky defense played a role in keeping the Buckeyes on their heels.
There were a lot of times where we made great plays, Scott said. We ran our sets in the correct way and got the ball inside and got a great shot, but we just didnt make it. There were also times when we didnt do what we were supposed to be doing and we turned the ball over. We just have to really focus.

18.08.2013 /
The Moto3 Grand Prix of Indianapolis was an all KTM affair on Sunday with victory to Spanish rider Alex Rins ahead of his teammate Alex Marquez with Maverick Viñales taking third place on the all-Spanish podium.
Jonas Folger of Germany was fourth on the KALEX-KTM and championship points leader Luis Salom of the Red Bull KTM Ajo team rode a heroic ride into fifth with an injured ankle. He was followed across the line by his two factory teammates Australian Arthur Sissis and Zulfahmi Khairuddin of Malaysia on the KTM RC250 GP.
Salom had a massive high-sider on Saturday and had to ride with pain killing injections and a swollen foot. He did well to hold up in the race to pick up enough points to retain the championship lead.
Alex Rins was impressive upfront in the three-way battle for the lead between him, Alex Marquez and Maverick Viñales who had distanced themselves from the following pack half way through the race. Marquez, younger brother of Marc Marquez who is currently making a big impression in MotoGP, was on the podium for the first time and he even held the lead in the second last lap before his teammate Rins seized control in the final stage.
Despite Salom having to tough it out with an injured foot it was a good race day for the Red Bull KTM Ajo factory team with both Sissis and Khairuddin scoring their best results this season. Sissis also had his best qualifying for the season and made an impressive start, leading the race in the opening stages.
Meanwhile it was clear from the outset that the race would be a challenge for the injured Salom. In the final laps he was engaged in a personal battle with the KALEX-KTM rider Folger and eventually had to settle for fifth behind the German.
Salom, with 183 points now has a narrow nine-point lead over Viñales with 174, with Rins in third with 167 points as the championship enters the second half of the season. There are still seven GPs still to be contested and competition is getting tight.
Riders face their next encounter next weekend at the sweeping Brno Circuit in the Czech Republic, a venue that is popular with both riders and spectators.

Mutual respect abounds heading into Cards-A's finale
Westbrook faces Milone in Interleague rubber game
When the Cardinals and A's wrap up their three-game Interleague set on Sunday, it's already evident each team has impressed the other. Both these teams look like serious threats to return to the postseaosn, and each has shown why in the first two games this weekend.
After the A's won the opener behind Bartolo Colon's 11th victory, the Cardinals handed it right back to them with a dominant performance by Adam Wainwright for his 11th win -- both with ample offensive support for the mound gems.
On Sunday, it will be A's left-hander Tommy Milone taking the ball against Cardinals veteran right-hander Jake Westbrook in the decisive game of the weekend set.
Before the Cardinals arrived, A's manager Bob Melvin and his crew knew what they'd be in for when the balanced National League Central power played its first games in Oakland since 2007.
"They do everything well," Melvin said. "They pitch well, they hit well, they score runs, they play defense. They're a very good team. And then they have some depth within their roster, too. And then you look down the bullpen and you see they have some guys hurt, but they're running guys out there who seem like they're all throwing 95 mph. So, they've done some things on the scouting end of it to sustain what they do in St. Louis.
"And then on top of that, the aura that the Cardinals have goes a long way. They're a championship team that's had a lot of success, and whether it's the Yankees or some of the other high-profile teams, the Cardinals are up there as one of those elite organizations in all of baseball."
In 2013 terms, the A's have a homefield trend to uphold heading into Sunday's game. They had swept five of the previous six home series and still have won 15 of their last 18 home games after Saturday's loss.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, took a step Saturday toward getting their 11-game string of Interleague games on track, but they're still 2-5 thus far. They're now 14-13 in June after a 20-7 May.
In the meantime, the Cardinals find themselves in a three-way dogfight in the NL Central with the Pirates and the Reds.
"I think early on it became very apparent that there are a few teams in this division that are going to be in this for the long haul," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It's going to be a tough division, but I don't know of any of our guys who are afraid of a fight. We're going to have that all season long."
Cardinals: Westbrook strong since DL stint
Westbrook will be making his fourth appearance since a stint on the disabled list with elbow inflammation, and he's been solid since his return with a 2-1 mark, allowing seven runs on 14 hits in 18 innings.
He earned the win over the Astros his last time out, allowing four earned runs on four hits with three strikeouts in six innings.
"I feel pretty good," Westbrook said. "You're always going to have to grind through some things, being 35 with the elbow and body I have. It felt good enough to work with my game tonight."
Westbrook has a 2.21 ERA that would be among the Majors' best, but he is 25 innings short of qualification.
A's: Milone looking for home cooking
• Making his 17th start of the season Sunday, Milone has had his struggles lately, going 0-2 with a 5.94 ERA and .288 opponents' batting average over his last three starts.
The good news for Sunday is he's at home, where he is 3-3 with a 2.82 ERA in seven starts compared to 3-4 with a 5.07 ERA in nine starts on the road.
• After Jarrod Parker's injury-shortened outing Saturday, A's starters are 20-6 with a 2.94 ERA (85 earned runs in 260 1/3 innings) and .223 opponents' batting average (214-for-958) over the last 39 games.
Worth noting
• Following Sunday's game, the Cardinals continue their Interleague road swing with a trip down to Southern California to play the Angels for three, starting Tuesday.
• The A's also have Monday off before hosting the Cubs for three games in Interleague Play.
• The A's are now 8-3 in Interleague Play, while the Cardinals are 5-6 this year, but now stand at 130-116 all-time for a .528 winning percentage that is tops among all NL teams.

This is a nice suitcase, but it is a little narrower than the rest. Overstock advertised the dimensions as 29"x18"x12". The actual width is 17.5 inces as stated on the manufacturer's label, which matches the width I measured mine to be. Airline rules allow a combined measurement of 62 inches. This one is 29 + 17..5 + 12 = 58.5. It could be wider by 3.5 inches and still pass the rules. But for the price, it is a great value and I am sure I will have no problem filling it up to the maximum 50 pound weight limit allowed by the airlines. I weighed the suitcase itself at 10 pounds 8 ounces. That leaves 39 and a half pounds of room for the contents.
I ordered this suitcase about a week and a half before I was to leave for Hawaii so I was very glad it arrived quickly in five days. I chose to order from Overstock because they had the bigger size suitcase. Other retailers offered the same suitcase but in a smaller size. I was very happy I decided to go with the larger size because my suitcase was filled to the brim with extra goodies on my way back home. There was plenty of space for everything and I especially loved the shoe section of the suitcase. I normally put my shoes in a plastic bag and throw them in but with this suitcase there is no need to do that. I also loved the color. My red suitcase was easier to find in baggage claim and withstood the harsh conditions under which bags are handled. I would definitely recommend this suitcase!
I purchased 4 of these suitcases, one for each family member, for our vacation to Hawaii. I will tell you that we jammed them full for the trip back (lightest one was 45 lbs; heaviest was 49.5 lbs!) and I really expected to see some ripped seams or split zippers but they held up great. The wheels are really strong and are mounted so they won't snap off, as happened to our old suitcase. Also, there is a handle on the bottom so if you're picking it up by the top & bottom (ie when it's coming off the airport baggage carosol) you don't have to use the wheels. Time will tell how durable they remain, but based on this first trip I think we'll have them for several years to come.
Many reviews mentioned the chemical smell. It was there but I kept the suitcase open in a well ventilated space and the odor went away. I think I also used Febreze or the such. My advise to you -- don't buy this immediately before the trip. Now the suitcase may only have the trace of that plastic smell, but it is not transferred to the clothes inside. Durable; good wheels and handle. Good deal for the money. Pretty accurate representation of color (I bought the rusty-orange one). Survived several flights so far. I am a big fan of cheaper luggage because the cheap and the expensive ones last for about the same; moreover, they get dirty and worn-out at about the same rate, so you can keep replacing the cheap ones every several years or so and your luggage always looks neat.
I bought this suitcase for my fiance and we were both surprised how attractive it was -even better than the picture. It's a good size too. I would highly recommend it in grey- it's the best looking inexpensive piece of luggage I've ever bought.
excellent, light wight and will hold up.
Smaller than I thought but it works
Bought this for my husband so he would have room for HIS clothes too on our cruise :)) (he was really happy with it!)
We have really enjoyed these suitcases.
Love them great size and the price was a deal.

Nikolai Gogol By Vladimir Nabokov Norfolk, Conn: New Directions. 172 pages. $1.50. One fairly accurate cardiogram of just how violently the Anglo-American heart palpitates over one of Russia's supreme geniuses is furnished by the Britannica (fourteenth edition), GOGOL, NIKOLAI VASSILIEVICH, rates one column and a grudging third, a bibliography of four lines listing as many items (only one in English), and not even a cut of the man. GOLF, however, earns 18 columns (glossary, 3 columns; bibliography, one-third column; 10 line cuts and one plate of 9 halftones).
There are many reasons why we recall Abraham Lincoln more vividly than we do either Christopher Columbus or George Washington, the other two men for whom public holidays are generally observed. Lincoln was the only one of the three born under the United States flag. As a child of the Middle West he grew up in the most American part of America, and through his veins flowed the blood of ancestors from both Virginia and New England.

There is a new whipping boy in America today, one that has succeeded "the interests," "Wall Street," "the railroads," "socialism" and all the other time-honored favorites of politicians and public alike.
