Take Me Home Tonight is a 2011 American retro comedy film directed by Michael Dowse and starring an ensemble cast including Topher Grace and Anna Faris. The screenplay was written by Jackie and Jeff Filgo, formerly writers of the television sitcom That '70s Show, of which Grace was a cast member. The title comes from the 1986 Eddie Money song of the same name, also played in the theatrical trailer. Shooting began on the week starting February 19, 2007,[4] in Phoenix, Arizona.[5] The film received its wide theatrical release on March 4, 2011. Prior to release the film was titled Young Americans and Kids in America.
Despite having the name, the song "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money is never played in the film. Only the first trailer includes the song, as well as the menu screen of the Blu-ray and DVD versions of the movie.
The film is set in 1988 Los Angeles. Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is a recent MIT graduate who works at a Suncoast Video store while trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life, something that his police officer father (Michael Biehn) has grown impatient with. While working one day, Matt's high school crush, Tori Fredreking (Teresa Palmer), randomly walks into the store. After pretending that he doesn't work there and saying that he works at Goldman Sachs in an effort to impress her, Tori invites Matt to a Labor Day party, hosted by Matt's twin sister Wendy's (Anna Faris) boyfriend, Kyle Masterson (Chris Pratt), at his hillside home.
Later that night, Matt, Wendy, and Matt's best friend, Barry Nathan (Dan Fogler), head to the party. On the drive over, Barry steals a brand new Mercedes-Benz convertible from the car dealership he got fired from earlier that day, justifying his actions by saying that Matt needs the convertible if he really wants to impress Tori.
The trio arrive at the party. While there, Matt catches up with an old classmate (who actually works at Goldman Sachs) and then awkwardly tries to woo Tori. Barry snorts some cocaine he found in the glove box of the stolen convertible and gets involved in a dance-off, and Wendy's boyfriend proposes to her in front of everyone at the party. She says yes, upsetting Matt, who doesn't think that Kyle will support her in her dream to attend graduate school at the University of Cambridge.
Tori eventually invites Matt and Barry to another party her boss is hosting in Beverly Hills. Matt takes Tori there in the Mercedes, while Barry rides with her two friends in another car, using the cocaine as an enticement to let him go along. Barry has a wild sexual encounter with an older woman while Matt and Tori continue to mingle with each other, after Matt's successful 'put down' of Tori's boss, a habitual sexual harasser. They leave the party to go into a neighbor's backyard where they jump on a trampoline, play truth or dare, and end up having sex.
Meanwhile, Wendy shares her unopened admissions letter from Cambridge with Kyle, and it is revealed that she was not accepted. Kyle is visibly relieved, while Wendy is visibly upset.
Matt confesses to Tori that he doesn't actually work at Goldman Sachs. Tori gets extremely upset at his deception and storms off, back to her boss's party, leaving Matt guilt-ridden.
Matt finds Barry there and they leave the party, and Matt tells Barry about how he told Tori the truth about his job. Barry patronizes him for not trying to have just one night of enjoyment and attempts to lighten the mood by offering Matt a line of cocaine, despite him driving. Matt, feeling vulnerable, attempts to snort the cocaine, but ends up driving the convertible off the road and into a ditch. A police cruiser soon arrives, and it turns out to be Matt's dad and his police partner. Already disappointed with Matt's unwillingness to choose a career path, Mr. Franklin damages the convertible even more as a means of coercing Matt to get a better job in order to pay off the damages. He takes Matt and Barry into custody, but lets them off in the neighborhood with a warning. Matt apologizes to his dad for being such a failure, to which his dad replies that because he's never even tried to succeed, he's actually less than a failure. Then, in a less condescending tone, he encourages Matt to take a shot at anything in life.
Knowing Tori has left her car at the party, Matt and Barry make their way back there, where bets are being placed on who will "ride the ball", a giant, steel sphere that someone enters and rides as it is rolled down a hill (something Matt's dad has stated that nobody has done since he himself was a kid). Matt finds Tori at the party and tries to apologize, but Tori is unwilling to forgive him. Feeling he has nothing to lose, Matt volunteers to "ride the ball". When he does the ball rolls downhill uncontrollably, hitting several parked cars and eventually flying off an embankment before landing in a backyard swimming pool. Matt almost drowns as the ball sinks, but manages to escape just in time. Barry rushes to the scene and walks with Matt back toward the party, meeting up with Wendy and Tori, who are elated to discover he wasn't killed. Matt apologies to Tori, and she forgives him after playing a little hard-to-get and then gives him her phone number. All four return to the party, which is beginning to wind down as dawn approaches. All who are still there 'whoop' it up at Matt's successful return.
Wendy, after all, realizing Matt was right all along, ends the engagement and breaks up with Kyle, who experiences a crying breakdown.
Pondering his future with a Goth-type girl he met at the party, Barry is told by her that maybe he should go to college.
Outside, as she leaves the party, Matt boldly kisses Tori goodbye.
Matt's dad is shown investigating the scene where the steel ball was found. He finds Matt's Suncoast Video name tag floating in the pool, and smirks proudly.
Barry staggers out of the party house, now in a shambles, to meet up with Wendy and Matt, who asks "Who wants breakfast?", and the three leave together as the sun is rising.

Principal photography was completed in 2007, but Universal Studios shelved the film until its 2011 theatrical release.[6] Topher Grace posted that the release of the film was delayed when the studio didn't know how to handle and promote a youth comedy film with portrayal of cocaine use, as the drug was prominent in the 1980s.[7]
Its release remained delayed until Relativity Media subsidiary Rogue acquired the film from Universal Pictures for $10 million.[2][6] The film was previously titled Young Americans and Kids in America, titles of popular songs by David Bowie and Kim Wilde.
On March 3, 2011, while being interviewed on Ryan Seacrest's 102.7 KIIS FM radio show, Topher Grace announced to former American Idol contestant Chris Medina that 1% of the film's box office revenue would be donated to the care of Medina's injured fiance, Juliana Ramos. Juliana was involved in a serious car accident in 2009 and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her story has been widely followed across the nation since Medina's appearance on American Idol.
The film was released in the U.S. on March 4, 2011. Relativity released a trailer for the film in December 2010.
Box office[edit]
Take Me Home Tonight was a box office flop. The film debuted at #11 with $3,464,679 on its opening weekend in 2,003 theater of North America. The film grossed $6,928,068 in North America, failing to recoup its $19 million budget.
Critical response[edit]
Take Me Home Tonight has received negative reviews from film critics.[8] Based on 109 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has an overall approval rating of 28%, with an average rating of 4.6/10.[9] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes that "Take Me Home Tonight has just enough heart and retro party spirit to hold the line before familiarity breeds contempt."[10] Critics have praised the leads and felt the film was heartwarming but was not nearly as original and funny as it was suggested to be. London's Daily Mail described the film as a "laugh-free U.S. comedy" and "relentlessly unappealing".[11] David Denby of The New Yorker writes that "(Topher) Grace has a way about him, the young Australian actress Palmer is lovely and crisp, and the Canadian writer-director Michael Dowse manages the exuberant traffic well enough."[12]
Colin Covert of the Minneapolis Star Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing that the movie is a "winning rag bag of gags, combining fast-paced physical shtick with a clever script. There's romantic comedy savvy period satire and "Jackass"-style stunts...Take Me Home Tonight is a time capsule from the heyday of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe, a time when comedies allowed their characters to be human as well as humorous."[13]

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.
John Hope Franklin
Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.
Henry David Thoreau
We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth, as "wild." Only to the white man was nature a "wilderness" and only to him was the land "infested" with "wild" animals and "savage" people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery. Not until the hairy man from the east came and with brutal frenzy heaped injustices upon us and the families we loved was it "wild" for us. When the very animals of the forest began fleeing from his approach, then it was that for us the "Wild West" began.
Luther Standing Bear
However, there are all sorts of behaviours in the Bible that might be called mad now, but aren't designated as insanity by the text itself. People see visions of angels going up and down ladders, of fiery chariots and, like Moses, who hears a bush talking, and Balaam the prophet who has a conversation with his donkey, they hear voices of those who cannot be said to be present in any usual sense of the word. They also speak in tongues, as the disciples do at Pentecost. Like madness, the visions, the voices and the speaking in tongues are due to external and usually divine agencies. In a world so permeated with supernatural powers, there are no accidents, and in one so riddled with prophets who went into a frenzy while prophesying many more kinds of behaviour were accepted as normal, at least for a prophet or an inspired person, than would be the case now. John the Baptist, dressed in animal skins and wandering around in the wilderness denouncing his social superiors, was not thought of as a de-institutionalized street person who's gone off his medications, but as a saint. And this was the pattern for mediaeval views of aberrant behaviour if you were acting crazy it was a divine punishment, or else you were possessed, by powers either divine or demonic perhaps aided, in the latter case, by witches.
Margaret Eleanor Atwood
We deeply need the humility to know ourselves as dependent members of a great community of life, and this can indeed be one of the spiritual benefits of a wilderness experience
Howard Zahnhiser
There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone - who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Working to preserve in perpetuity is a great inspiration. We are not fighting a rear-guard action, we are facing a frontier. We are not slowing down a force that inevitably will destroy all the wilderness there is. We are generating another force, never to be wholly spent, that, renewed generation after generation, will be always effective in preserving wilderness. We are not fighting progress. We are making it. We are not dealing with a vanishing wilderness. We are working for a wilderness forever.
Howard Zahniser
Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.
Stuart Udall
How much wilderness do the wilderness-lovers want? ask those who would mine and dig and cut and dam in such sanctuary spots as these. The answer is easy: Enough so that there will be in the years ahead a little relief, a little quiet, a little relaxation, for any of our increasing millions who need and want it.
Wallace Stegner
Simplicity in all things is the secret of the wilderness and one of its most valuable lessons. It is what we leave behind that is important. I think the matter of simplicity goes further than just food, equipment, and unnecessary gadgets; it goes into the matter of thoughts and objectives as well. When in the wilds, we must not carry our problems with us or the joy is lost.
Sigurd F. Olson
The richest values of wilderness lie not in the days of Daniel Boone, nor even in the present, but rather in the future.
Aldo Leopold

The war on crime and the battle for superior technology collide as Shinohara industries unleashes a rash of new Labor designs and SV2 finds itself stuck in the middle of product evaluation trials. That would be trying enough at any time, but when the department's already being overwhelmed with handling security for the upcoming Babylon Project Conference, fighting terrorists, insurance investigators, and even tracking down monsters in the sewers, it may be the final straw that breaks the Ingram's back.
If all that wasn't enough pressure, SV2's rivalry with Division One escalates to all out warfare when SV1 gets the first of the latest production models. The gloves are off and there's a heavy metal smackdown on the horizon as Noa must strap herself into the cockpit once again to prove that her Alphonse is still the undisputed king of robotic law enforcement!

Cishan culture
Geographical range | Luo River | ||
Period | Neolithic China | ||
Dates | 8000–5500 BC | ||
Type site | Wu'an | ||
Preceded by | Nanzhuangtou | ||
Followed by | Peiligang culture, Pengtoushan | ||
Chinese name | |||
Chinese | 磁山文化 | ||
The Cishan culture (8000–5500 BC) was a Neolithic Yellow River culture in northern China, based primarily around southern Hebei, along the north shore of the Luo River. The Cishan culture was based on the farming of broomcorn millet, the cultivation of which on one site has been dated back 10,000 years.[1] There is also evidence that the Cishan people cultivated barley and, late in their history, a japonica variety of rice.
Common artifacts from the Cishan culture include stone grinders, stone sickles and tripod pottery. The sickle blades feature fairly uniform serrations, which made the harvesting of grain easier. Cord markings, used as decorations on the pottery, was more common compared to neighboring cultures. Also, the Cishan potters created a broader variety of pottery forms such as basins, pot supports, serving stands, and drinking cups.
Since the culture shared many similarities with its southern neighbor, the Peiligang culture, both cultures are sometimes referred to together as the Cishan-Peiligang culture or Peiligang-Cishan culture, suggesting that they were a single culture. The Cishan culture also shared several similarities with its eastern neighbor, the Beixin culture. However, the consensus among archaeologists is that the Cishan people were members of a separate culture that shared many characteristics with its neighbors.
The type site at Cishan is located in Wu'an, Hebei, China on a low elevation mesa. The site covers an area of around 80,000 m². The houses at Cishan were semi-subterranean and round. The site showed evidence of domesticated pigs, dogs and chickens, with pigs providing the primary source of meat. The Cishan people hunted deer and wild boar. Nuts, wild apricots and pears, and various roots and tubers were foraged from the surrounding forests. Fish was also an important part of the diet at Cishan, specifically carp and herring from the nearby river; fishing nets made from hemp fibers were used.
Over 500 subterranean storage pits were discovered at Cishan. These pits were used to store millet. The largest pits were 5 meters deep and capable of storing up to 1000 kg of millet.

Skin Care Tips - Summer & Winter Skin Care
Are You SPF Savvy?
Sure, you know that you should use a sunblock with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 when you go to the beach or pool, right? But that's not all. The sun shines year-round, and you need to protect your skin year-round, too. Act on these sun protection tips to keep your skin healthy while you enjoy any outdoor activity at any time of year.
- Choose the right sunblock for your activity. There are shelves of sunscreens and sunblocks available and you don't have to limit yourself to just one. In fact, you shouldn't. Use a sweatproof sunblock with a high SPF (30 or more) if you will be exercising outdoors in the sun for a long time, and choose a non-greasy, moisturizing sunblock for a relaxing afternoon barbecue or a day of running errands that takes you outside often.
- Choose a sun product that blocks both types of ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB). Both types can damage your skin.
- Are you a gardener? Be sure to wear a hat with a very wide brim (at least 4 inches). Gardeners are always bending forward, so your neck and ears are vulnerable to sun damage.
- Don't forget to put sunblock in the odd places: On and behind your ears, your lips (use a chapstick with SPF), around your eyes (especially if you aren't wearing sunglasses or a hat), and around your neck and scalp (especially if you aren't wearing a hat and you have thinning hair). And don't forget your hands and feet. If you neglect your feet the tan (or burn) lines from your sandals may remind you to protect all exposed areas of skin.
Be sure to reapply sunblock or sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you have been swimming, sweating, or drying yourself with a towel.
Control Dry Skin
Nearly everyone experiences dry skin now and then. Fortunately, most cases of dry skin aren't serious. For example, you may notice that the skin on your hands, arms, and legs gets dry in the winter, or after you go swimming. Most people can manage these cases of dry skin easily with one of the many moisturizers available. It may take some trial and error to find the one that you like best. And remember, the moisturizer that you use on your face is not usually what you want to use on your dry elbows and knees.
For a daily facial moisturizer, choose a product with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. If you are prone to breakouts, make sure the product is oil-free and non-comedogenic. For an all-over body moisturizer, the choices are numerous, but if you have sensitive skin, avoid products that contain heavy fragrances or oils that might irritate you.
Also, you can stop dry skin before it starts by keeping these skin-drying factors in mind:
- Dry air. Cold temperatures can dry out your skin, but humidity is more of a factor than temperature. If you live in Arizona, you may suffer as much or more from dry skin as if you live in Minnesota.
- Long, hot showers. Yes, they feel great, but long and/or hot showers can promote dry skin. Showering or bathing several times a day causes dry skin, too, by breaking down your skin's natural moisture barrier. Hit the pool often? Chlorine has the same effect.
- Strong soaps. Some types of antibacterial or deodorant soaps and shampoos can overdry your skin. If you think your soap or shampoo is too drying, try a different product that claims to be gentle or contains moisturizing ingredients.
- Medical conditions. Certain medical conditions can contribute to dry skin. Be sure to see your doctor if you have large areas of dry or peeling skin, if you have sores from excessive scratching, or if your dry skin persists and doesn't improve despite your attempts to take care of it.
Corn and Callus Care: What You Can Do
Corns and calluses are thickened layers that your skin builds up in order to protect itself from friction and pressure. What causes the friction and pressure? For example, cramming your feet into tight shoes, or neglecting to wear work gloves when gripping tools for an extended period of time can lead to calluses or corns. Although these thickened areas don't look pretty, they are usually harmless. In most cases, reducing or eliminating the source of friction (by adjusting your shoes or wearing gloves, for example) will solve the problem and the corns and calluses will go away on their own.
But if the corns and calluses are stubborn, try these at-home treatments:
- Soak. Soak your hands or feet in warm, soapy water to help soften the area.
- Rub. Use a pumice stone or washcloth to remove the toughened skin. Don't shave or cut corns or calluses; you could open the door for a skin infection.
- Moisturize. Apply a moisturizer to the area to help keep the skin soft.
- Try padding. You can buy corn and callus pads that are designed for the toes or other high-friction areas where corns and calluses develop. But beware of medicated pads; they may be irritating if you have sensitive skin.
To avoid ongoing irritation of a corn or callus on your feet, avoid tight shoes until the condition resolves, and when you buy new shoes, be sure that they aren't too tight. If you can't wiggle your toes, you need a bigger size.
If you have diabetes and you have a corn or callus, see your doctor. Even a minor foot problem can develop into a foot ulcer if left untreated.
FYI: Acne
Oily skin and the acne that can result from it can occur at any age. In fact, some people, both men and women, experience more acne in adulthood than they did during their teen years. Contrary to the many myths about acne, it is caused by three things:
- Excess production of oil by the sebaceous glands that are connected to hair follicles in your skin.
- Incomplete shedding of dead skin cells, which can block the follicle and cause a backup when the oils can't get to the surface as they naturally would.
- Buildup of bacteria that occurs if the blocked hair follicles become inflamed.
Some common acne myths:
- Sweat causes acne. False. The sweat glands are separate from the sebaceous glands. While sweat can promote the buildup of bacteria on the skin, sweat glands themselves aren't usually contributing to acne.
- Chocolate or greasy food causes acne. False. Studies have shown that what you eat has little or no effect on acne. But eating a healthy diet is important to promote healthy skin.
- Dirt causes acne. False. Dirt doesn't cause acne, and excessive face-washing may irritate your skin and make it worse. Stick to a regimen of oil-free products.
If your acne is especially bothersome, see a dermatologist who may suggest some prescription skin care products. But you can often do just as well with some trial and error of the many products available for acne and oily skin.
FYI: Wrinkles
The first thing to know about wrinkles is that you can't really prevent them. Some lines and creases appear as are a normal part of aging process because your skin becomes thinner and drier.
If your wrinkles bother you, see a dermatologist for advice, but remember that treatments such as Botox, chemical peels, and face lifts may provide a temporary fix, but they won't stop the aging process. That said, you can take some steps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and cut down on the formation of more wrinkles.
- Be sun smart. You can postpone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by wearing sunblock when you go outside at any time of year, and by wearing a hat and other protective clothing and by wearing sunblock when you are outdoors.
- Choose skin care products with SPF. Thanks to increased awareness about the need to protect skin from excessive sun exposure, many skin care products contain a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. For daily wear (even to the office) opt for one of the many daily moisturizers with SPF. Moisturizers will delay the development of wrinkles and reduce their appearance by helping your skin maintain its natural moisture.
- Quit smoking, and don't start. Even if you have smoked for years, it's not too late to help your skin by quitting. Among the many reasons to quit smoking: You can improve your skin tone and texture and help postpone the formation of additional wrinkles.
Moisturize: A Tip For All Ages
You're never too young or too old to take good care of your skin, and three top skin care tips to remember are: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
The right moisturizer for you depends on many factors including your age, sex, the climate where you live, and your skin type. Remember that moisturizers are considered cosmetics by the Food and Drug Administration. As such, they are not regulated, and there is no guarantee that they will live up to any of their claims (such as "prevents wrinkles, promotes younger-looking skin").
The basic role of a moisturizer is to hold water on the surface of your skin to prevent it from drying out and to encourage the cells on the surface of your skin to repair themselves.
Most moisturizers contain one or both of two products: Humectants and emollients. Humectants absorb moisture from the air into the skin, while emollients work to smooth rough skin by filling in the spaces between skin cells. In addition, most moisturizers contain fragrances to make them smell good and preservatives to keep bacteria from contaminating the product once you open it. Beyond that, you can find moisturizers that contain everything from vitamins, plant extracts and sunscreens to tints that will make you look tan.
Some tips on choosing a moisturizer for:
- Dry skin. Choose an oil-based moisturizer; it lasts longer than water-based products.
- Sensitive skin. Look for allergy-free or fragrance-free products.
- Oily skin. Seek out products that are water-based, oil-free, and noncomedogenic.
- Mature skin. Because your skin tends to get drier with age, look for an oil-based product that also has alpha hydroxy acids, which may prevent dry, flaky skin.
Poison Ivy Primer
Most people will have some reaction to the irritating oil in poison ivy, but if you are especially sensitive, you probably know it from having had an uncomfortable, itchy experience.
The signs of poison ivy include redness, blisters, swelling, and itching, and they usually appear one or two days after you have either touched an actual plant or touched a pet or clothing item that has poison ivy's oily resin on it. Although you have to have direct contact with poison ivy's oily resin (called urushiol) to develop the rash, you don't have to have direct contact with the plant. For example, you can walk through some poison ivy and then touch your shoes, or touch a pet that has the resin on its fur. If you get the urushiol on your hands, you can transfer it to your face or other parts of the body that you touch.
Fortunately, poison ivy is rarely serious and the rashes usually go away within a few weeks. You can buy over the counter products to relieve the itching and irritation, or try calamine lotion, cool compresses for 15 minutes several times a day, or a cool bath in an oatmeal soak product. In the meantime, try (try hard) to avoid scratching. If your rash is severe, see your doctor, who may prescribe a prescription cream.
You are most likely to spread poison ivy to someone else right after you have been exposed, so don't scratch and then touch someone else or share a towel or clothing.
Seasonal Skincare Tips: Change Your Tactics With The Calendar
You may think that you have found the perfect skin care regimen. But suddenly the temperatures heat up and that great moisturizer that gave you a glow in January is making your face break out in June. Cold, harsh winter weather dries out your skin, so you may be happy using a heavier moisturizer during the winter months. But if you use that same product when the heat and humidity rise, you may have too much moisture on your skin, which can lead to breakouts.
Keep these two tips in mind to transition from winter to summer skincare:
- Exfoliate. Use a washcloth or skin puff to apply an exfoliating cream or cleanser to damp skin and massage gently. If you have sensitive skin, check the labels on exfoliating products and choose those that claim to be designed for sensitive skin. Also, if your skin is sensitive you may not need to exfoliate as frequently. If your skin is flaky and irritated, look for a different exfoliating product. It may take some trial and error to find one that works best for you. Try a skin toner for the warmer months, too. You may find that during the winter a toner is too drying, but in the spring and summer it can be helpful to control excess oil.
- Moisturize. You may need less moisturizer in the summer, but you need something to protect your skin (face and body) from sun damage. For summer daytime, choose a product that contains sunscreen. Want a summer glow without subjecting your skin to the sun's harmful rays? Choose a day moisturizer that's tinted. You can find tinted sunless tanning product for your face and body.
Shaving 101
Shaving is the most cost-effective way to remove excess or unwanted hair. But how's your shaving technique?
Many more men are recognizing the importance of proper skin care to reduce the appearance of aging and prevent skin cancer. But for most of them, their skin care regimen starts and ends with a daily shave. To turn shaving into a total skin care opportunity, divide the process into four parts:
- Prepare. If you can, shower before shaving so the steam can soften the hair, or press a warm washcloth against your skin before shaving.
- Lather. Apply shaving cream with a shaving brush if possible. The brush will help the shaving cream to lift the hair away from the face for easier shaving.
- Shave. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to use a shaving cream or lotion when shaving, and use a razor that is clean and sharp. Shaving dry skin can cause razor burn and irritation. Shave in the direction that the hair grows, not against it. Note: if you opt for an electric razor, avoid the closest setting to reduce skin irritation.
- Moisturize. After shaving, apply a moisturizer (ideally, choose a moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 15).
These same principles apply to women who want to shave their legs, armpits, or any other area.
Tough on Nails? Keep Nails Healthy
Drug stores abound with nail care products, but products alone won't make your nails healthy. In fact, overuse of certain products (such as nail polish remover) can dry out your nails. Healthy nails help protect your fingers. Also, nails that are discolored or weak can be an early indicator of larger medical problems. For example, chronic bronchitis may cause discoloration in the fingernails. If you have any nail discoloration or problem that persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, see your doctor.
To keep your nails strong, healthy, and looking their best, keep these points in mind:
- Trim them neatly. Use sharp nail scissors or nail clippers to trim your nails periodically, and smooth the edges with an emery board.
- Don't pull hangnails. Doing so could pull healthy tissue and cause an inflammation or even infection.
- Moisturize. When you moisturize your hands, don't neglect your nails. Rub moisturizer onto them, too.
- Don't bite your nails. Don't pick at your cuticles, either. Even small cuts along your cuticles can be entryways for bacteria or nail fungus.
- Be gentle. Don't use your fingernails as tools to pry open cans or pick apart gadgets. Use the right tool for the job.
- Take care with manicures. Be sure that your manicurist sterilizes all tools. Don't have your cuticles removed (this can lead to infection). If you wear nail polish from a manicurist or that you apply yourself at home, don't use nail polish remover more than twice a month. Look for polish removers that are non-acetone (acetone can dry out your nails).
- Wash. Clean underneath your nails and use a nail brush, especially before handling food.

Even the most jaded of us look forward to Christmas a little bit... until it's here. Now it's all looking a bit like hard work, isn't it? Well, let nothing you dismay – here's a quick guide to surviving all the humbug it can throw at you. God bless us, every one.
The family meal
You will have exhausted your supply of goodwill and small talk over drinks, so
resort to provocation. Fill a mental bingo card: excitement over brandy

accomplice, make a competition of it. It'll fly by.
The martyrdom
Christmas is one long bout of preparation and clearing up, but some people
enjoy that, in their own way. Escape their going-on and self-righteousness
by staking your claim to jobs that are time-consuming, solitary and
over-appreciated. Good

The Daily Tribune (http://www.dailytribune.com)
Wednesday, February 19, 2014
lakeland, fla. >> When you play a kids game for lots and lots of money, no one should be surprised if you indulge yourself in the fulfillment of other childhood fantasies.
And no one should be surprised when you act like a little kid when the dream comes true.
For Justin Verlander, the arrival at Spring Training of a delivery from Lamborghini of Troy Ś a brand-spanking-new, bright orange Lamborghini Aventador (MSRP: $397,500) ŚĀhad him giddy as a schoolkid.
ōI just got it a few days ago. ... IÆve been waiting for it for like two years, so when I get it, itÆs like a kid at Christmas,ö said the 30-year-old Tigers pitcher, who recently added a Ferrari to his collection, as well.
ōIÆm just a sports car guy. ... Those (the Lamborghini and Ferrari) are the cars I had on the wall when I was a kid, and IÆve worked extremely hard to get where IÆm at. ThatÆs kind of what some of the guys here have said: æHey, you earned that. ThatÆs pretty cool.Æ
ōWhen youÆre able to get something youÆve dreamed about since you were five years old, and had a picture of up on your wall Ś well, not exactly that one. Twenty-five years ago, it was quite a bit different car. Yeah, but itÆs a dream of mine.ö
Collecting sports cars is a hobby that Verlander came by naturally.
His father, Richard, dabbled with it when Verlander was a kid.
ōThe other thing I dreamt about as a kid was a car collection. My dad kind of Ś I donÆt want to say instilled that in me; I guess thatÆs where I got it from. We werenÆt a wealthy family by any means. We did OK. Whatever he could afford was in and out of the garage. He didnÆt ever have more than one,ö said Verlander, who remembered his dad allowing him to drive one of them Ś a mid-90s model Corvette Ś to high school a few times, a stark departure from the purple Æ93 Ford Taurus he normally drove. ōHe would Ś and my mom would probably say ŚĀoverextended himself a few times.
ōHe kind of got me started being a car guy, a sports car guy. I could just envision having a collection, if I got to that point, and was able to buy stuff. That was always a dream of mine.
ōI would say I have a pretty decent collection now.ö
For now.
Verlander said he planned to take a short hiatus from collecting, especially until he works out the logistics of where to keep all of them. The Lamborghini gave him nine cars, and the garage at his Virginia home only stores eight.
ōYeah. IÆm going to have to figure that out,ö he said. ōYou can do that math. ... IÆve got until I go back home in the offseason to figure that out.ö
He does plan on adding more to the collection, eventually, though.
ōActually, for a few years, IÆve been looking for a classic muscle car. Something American-made,ö he said. ōI love Æ69 Camaros, but I feel like everyone has one of those. I want to do something different. A æCuda or something. Or a Fastback Mustang. I definitely want some old, American V8 muscle. I love it. I just havenÆt been able to find the right one.ö
He thought heÆd stumbled across ōthe oneö in a trip to a classic car place in Troy, when he and teammate Alex Avila looked at an original Corvette.
ōSo Alex and I went over one day to look at cars, and I saw it. ItÆs exactly what I want. ItÆs red with the white little scoop on the side. IÆm like æOh, my god, there it is!Æ And I go to get in it, and itÆs like ..... errrrrrrrrr. I canÆt get in it,ö said the 6-foot-5 Verlander. ōI love the Corvettes, the old Æ56 Corvettes, but I just canÆt fit in them. The convertible ones? The steering wheelÆs too big, and the seat doesnÆt go back. I canÆt even get my leg under the steering wheel. I was so disappointed. ...
ō(But) I think thatÆs the next toy. Some American muscle.ö
So do all these cars just sit around and gather dust, as showpieces?
Well, yes and no.
Verlander certainly didnÆt drive the Aventador to Florida. ōOh, no. Lord no. IÆm not putting those miles on it,ö he said. ōI shipped it.ö
And he called it ōa lesson learnedö when he left one of the early pieces of his collection, a Mercedes, at his parentsÆ house.
ōI did reciprocate, and it was a mistake of mine. You remember that old black Mercedes I had? The license plate said: æBRNGN ITÆö he said. ōI left that at home, in his garage, and I said æTake it out maybe once a month, drive it around.Æ He put 2,000 miles on it. I got home, and was like æWhat are you doing?Æ
ōSo that was a lesson learned.ö
Verlander paid back his fatherÆs involvement in his avocation by buying him a Corvette ZR1 a few years back.
And heÆs taken both his father and his younger brother, Ben, along on a trip to Virginia International Raceway, where the three spent half a day driving on the road track with an old Mercedes of JustinÆs, and his Porsche.
ōMy dad, my brother and myself got turns in cars, going around the track. I mean, that was awesome. So much fun,ö Verlander said. ōI mean, IÆd love to, when I get done with baseball, get into racing, stuff like that. I mean, I had a blast going around that track.
ōIÆve always been fascinated with cars, and going fast. I enjoy that.ö
How fast has he gone in a car ... all legal-like, on a track?
ōWe donÆt need to talk about that,ö he mumbled, with a grin.

When does Obamacare start 2014?
March 15, 2014 - Submit payments so coverage begins before the open enrollment period ends, and to avoid the income tax.
March 31, 2014 - Open enrollment for health insurance closes. If you don't have insurance by now, you will be assessed an income tax that's roughly 1% of your Adjusted Gross Income. The minimum tax you can pay is $95 per ad ult and $47.50 per child, capped at $285 per household. However, most families will qualify for free health insurance under Medicaid before they have to worry about paying the minimum tax. The tax can't be more than the cost of purchasing the "bronze" health insurance plan on the exchanges. For details, see Obamacare Taxes.
2015 - The tax on people without insurance rises to 2% of AGI. The open enrollment period shortens, running only from October 7 - December 31 2014.
Small business owners with 50+ workers must pay $2,000 per worker (except for the first 30) if they don't provide insurance, or if employees can find a lower-cost plan with the same benefits on the exchange. Companies will receive a tax credit of 50% of the cost of providing insurance.For more, see How Does Obamacare Work? (Source: HHS, What Is the Employer Shared Responsibility? and SHOP Marketplace)
2016 - The tax on those without insurance rises to 2.5% of AGI.
2018 - Businesses must pay a 40% excise tax on "Cadillac" health insurance plans. These are plans that offer specialized coverage, and their premiums are $10,200 (individuals) or $27,500 (families) or more. They offer super-low copayments, or provide unusual benefits, such as marriage counseling. Businesses also offer Cadillac plans if most of their employees are older, live in an area with expensive health costs, or have dangerous jobs.(Source: Kaiser, Cadillac Tax Explained, March 18, 2010)
The Medicare "donut hole" is eliminated.

U.S. Embassy Compound In Libya Shut Down Amid Fighting
Updated at 8:45 a.m. ET.
The U.S. has closed its embassy in Libya and evacuated diplomats amid what is being described as a significant deterioration in security, with rival militant factions battling in the capital, Tripoli.
"Due to the ongoing violence resulting from clashes between Libyan militias in the immediate vicinity of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, we have temporarily relocated all of our personnel out of Libya," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
"Securing our facilities and ensuring the safety of our personnel are top department priorities, and we did not make this decision lightly," Harf said. "Security has to come first. Regrettably, we had to take this step because the location of our embassy is in very close proximity to intense fighting and ongoing violence between armed Libyan factions."
In a separate statement, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said: "[All] embassy personnel were relocated, including Marine security guards who were providing security at the embassy during the movement."
"During movement, F-16s, ISR assets and an Airborne Response Force with MV-22 Ospreys provided security," Kirby said in the statement. "The mission was conducted without incident, and the entire operation lasted approximately five hours."
The Associated Press says: "The withdrawal underscored the Obama administration's concern about the heightened risk to American diplomats abroad, particularly in Libya where memories of the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in the eastern city of Benghazi are still vivid and the political uproar over it remain fresh ahead of a new congressional investigation into the incident."
A newly issued travel warning issued today by the State Department said the Libyan government had been unable "to adequately build its military and police forces to improve security.
Reuters describes the fighting in Tripoli:
"Black plumes of smoke marked shell blasts and bulldozed earthen barricades mapped out the frontlines around Tripoli's largest airport, now at the heart of a standoff between the country's powerful militias.
"With barrages of Grad rockets, anti-aircraft guns and artillery fired at their rival enclaves just kilometers apart, brigades of former rebels have turned parts of southern Tripoli in a battleground for nearly a fortnight.
"The clash over Tripoli International Airport is the latest eruption in a deepening rivalry among bands of ex-fighters who once battled side by side against Muammar Gaddafi, but have since turned against each other in the scramble for control."

NEW ORLEANS - SEPTEMBER 03: Quarterback Pat White #6 of the Miami Dolphins during the game against the New Orleans Saints at the Louisiana Superdome on September 3, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Dolphins defeated the Saints 10-7. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
The Washington Redskins signed former West Virginia star Pat White earlier this week. If used correctly, White could be a quality backup.
Prior to his injury, White spent one season with the Miami Dolphins before having a small stint in professional baseball.
After a few years training to get back to the professional circuit, White held a private workout at WVU's Pro Day, while also getting some reps down in Blacksburg at Virginia Tech's campus in front of NFL representatives.
White, the 44th overall pick of the 2009 draft, spent most of his time with the Dolphins under the wildcat formation.
Following White's concussion at the end of the season, his positive attitude and mindset changed. White wanted to the quit the game he loved after being released by Miami in 2010.
Current Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins feels that White could definitely add some depth to Washington and its leading position.
"I felt like with Robert's health where it is right now, to be able to have a guy who can do some of the thing Robert does athletically would be important, especially in this offseason time when you're trying to stay sharp and develop your base playbook and improve your base playbook," said Cousins in an interview with ESPN 980. While I believe can to some degree run those kind of things, the zone-read stuff is gonna be much better with a Pat White-type athlete in there who's closer to Robert's skill set."
More than appreciative to all of you for the love! #Friends #Family #Tweeters

To sell fellow Israelites into slavery in other countries was forbidden on pain of death, probably because such slaves were cut off from the life of the covenant community (itself a form of "death," Ex. 12:19 and Lev. 7:20 notes).

Advanced Jedi Training Droid 6 (Talk to my master) 00:48, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
I was just wondering what order Meetra Surik visited the planets in after her first run-in with Atris on Telos. According to her article, it said she first visited Nar Shaddaa, then Dxun/Onderon, then Dantooine, then Dxun/Onderon again, then Korriban, then Dantooine again. However, the game's article lists the order as Dantooine, then Nar Shaddaa, then Dxun, then Onderon, then Korriban, then Dxun and Onderon again, then Dantooine again. I can't tell how either article came up with this order. Can somebody please help me? Thanks! 184.108.40.206 16:40, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
