A neighborhood atmosphere prevails in the wine section at the Harbour Pointe Plaza QFC Store, Friday night, as area residents, Sridar Chalaka (left) his wife, Jessica Wang and Jan Kwasny chat, relax and taste small portions of wines and hors d'oeuvres selected by wine steward Lois Shumski.

At the Harbour Pointe Plaza QFC Store on Friday night, wine steward Lois Shumski serves Michael and Marcia Broude of Mukilteo a variety of wines and hors d'oeuvres selected for food and wine pairing. With the sample she is pouring for Marcia, she will give her the small chocolate in her other hand.
It's happy hour at the grocery store.
In a roped-off section by the produce aisle, a cluster of Friday shoppers at the Mukilteo QFC are living it up. There's wine, laughter, platters of snacks and a bubbly sommelier.
"Come on in," wine steward Lois Shumski says. "How about if I start you with a little chardonnay?"
It's a scene played out in a growing number of supermarkets around the state, at chains such as Fred Meyer, Safeway, Trader Joe's and Albertsons. For now, it's wine and beer, but bills are being introduced this legislative session to allow liquor tastings.
Most stores do wine tastings once or twice a week. A few do it nightly.
It's all free, highly regulated and regularly attended.
"Going to 'The Q'" is a Friday ritual for taster Susan Den Hollander and a motive to get dressed.
"I had to put on pants," she said. "I worked from home today and was in my pajamas."
About 75 to 100 people usually pop by Shumski's three-hour tasting, held from 3 to 6 p.m.
It's not a slurp fest. State law limits consumption to four ounces, which Shumski doles an ounce or less at a time.
And if you think Shumski is too busy pouring and chatting up the masses to do the math, think again. She's like a schoolteacher, with eyes in the back of her head. She keeps track of who has had what and makes sure it's paired with the proper food bite.
There's a science to her spread of ham, cheese, grapes, pretzels and chocolate. The ham adds "wow" to a grenache-syrah blend. Cheese makes the chardonnay softer and plusher. Under her watch, there's no mix-ups, though tasters can eat with reckless abandon between pairings.
State law requires wine stewards to be certified to serve and observe.
Shumski checks IDs. "I make a fool of myself. I card people who are 40," she said.
Minors must stay on the other side of the yellow rope.
Not a problem for parents with kids in tow.
"We've done this lots of times," said Sarah Jensen, whose two sons, 4 and 7, played handheld video games in a nearby cart. "This gives me an opportunity to try new things. I can try it before I buy it."
Jensen bought three of the five wines Shumski served.
Wine stewards choose what to pour.
"I keep it under $20," Shumski said. "Good wine that's affordable."
The recent tasting had a $7.99 French red and an $11.99 chardonnay.
Last cork is around 5:30 p.m., because Shumski has to dump out what's left.
For the store, offering up a dozen bottles, a few deli platters and social time with the wine goddess pays off.
"I really didn't expect to buy any wine tonight," said Al Love, clutching a bottle he couldn't resist after "tasting and pairing it."
The tasting sessions are more than whetting palates.
"What's nice is the community aspect," said Dr. Sridar Chalaka, an Everett Clinic physician who lives in Mukilteo. "We go to work, come home and watch TV. We don't go to bars and there's no get-together place."
It got the nod from his wife, Jessica Wang, who does childcare at the YMCA.
"I feel pretty happy," she said.

Other weekly tastings
Some other grocery stories hold weekly tastings.
Fred Meyer/Alderwood store, 2902 164th St. SW, Lynnwood: 3 to 6 p.m. Friday and 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday. (The Everett Fred Meyer does not hold tastings.)

Dog Leukemia
Dog Leukemia
Dog leukemia is a condition that occurs in dogs, during which an abnormal increase in white blood cells occurs. This is due to a genetic mutation. That mutation increases the production of these cells and does not create enough other necessary blood cells in the affected dog. There are several factors that need to be known. There are chronic and acute types of leukemia in dogs. They are based on the type of cells that are affected by the disease.
Causes of Dog Leukemia
Just as with Dog Cancer, any breed of dog can have leukemia. While the leukemia can occur at any age, it tends to occur primarily in older dogs. Unfortunately veterinarians and scientists know very little about the actual causes of canine leukemia. There is a possibility that high toxin or radiation exposure through the dogs life may contribute to the onset of the disease.
Signs and Symptoms
Canine leukemia can be an extremely serious condition. Acute leukemia has a higher mortality rate than chronic. Chances of a dog surviving acute leukemia are not good. Chronic leukemia, on the other hand, can often go undetected and the dog can live a full life with no symptoms.
Not knowing the actual causes prevents us from knowing how to prevent it. There is a possibility that keeping your dog in a safe environment may play a large part in the prevention of canine leukemia.
Although there is no defined cure for canine leukemia, there are treatment modalities that are available. Chemotherapy is one of those treatments. Chemotherapy can extend your dog's life for a short period of a few months or even years, but it is not guaranteed to allow a full life. That would be the scenario in acute leukemia. Often chronic leukemia requires no treatment at all. It depends on whether or not the cancerous cells outnumber the healthy cells. Regular checkups from your veterinarian will keep the chronic conditions in tow.
Types of Canine Leukemia
There are four different types of leukemia in dogs. It can involve either the lymph nodes or the dog's bone marrow. It is believed that dogs are more likely to develop that which affects the lymph nodes rather than the bone marrow.
Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL)
This is defined as one that affects over 30% of the white cells in the dog's bone marrow, and is categorized as cancerous. This type of leukemia is considered to be rather serious and an affected dog will usually live for only a few days or weeks depending on fast the disease progress in the dog's body.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
There are cells in a dog's body called myeloid cells. Acute myeloid leukemia will negatively affect these myeloid cells. It is the canine leukemia type that leads to the overproduction of white blood cells. These then interfere with the production of red blood cells that are actually healthy cells. This will, in turn, harmfully affect the cells in the dog's bone marrow, and healthy bone marrow cells will eventually be replaced with the new cancerous cells.
Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL)
This canine leukemia most often occurs when cancerous cells become mixed with healthy cells in the dog's body. However, if your dog has enough of these healthy cells already in their body, then their potential survival rate will increase. This leukemia affects the lymphocytes. The reduction of lymphocytes will cause an increase in overall vulnerability to infections, as lymphocytes support the immune response in mammals.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
An increase in the number of myeloid cells in the marrow classifies this as CML. It will also increase the presence of the cells in the dog's blood system. It causes the production of mature granulocytes as well as the occurrence of chromosomal translocation.

HIGH POINT, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's Aaliyah Jackson has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Women's Soccer Player of the Week during week number one of the 2012 season.
Jackson, a freshman in her first weekend, began her collegiate career with a pair of goals including an overtime game-winner on Saturday against Carson-Newman. In her first match against Clayton State on Friday, the Statesville, NC native mustered up two of Pfeiffer's four shots on goal before taking control less than 24 hours later against Carson-Newman. Jackson broke up a scoreless draw in the 65th minute firing a shot from just inside the box and just inside the left post for her first collegiate goal of the year. After the Eagles tied it late, Jackson corralled a loose ball and broke away from 30 yards out beating the keeper one-on-one for the match-winner 7:44 into the first overtime period.
Jackson and the Lady Falcons get back to action on Wednesday traveling to region-rival Lenoir-Rhyne before kicking off Conference Carolinas action next Saturday at Queens.

He might, but overall I don't see him getting much playing time at all, unless Monty can teach him a few things. The guy can jump out of the building, but nothing much more than that.
With just Al-Farouq Aminu and rookie Darius Miller as the current SF's on the roster, Warrick may see some time at SF given the depth along the frontline. We suspect Ryan Anderson could also see some time at SF as well if the Hornets want to use big lineups that feature Anthony Davis and one of Robin Lopez or Jason Smith at center. Regardless, we don't see Warrick accruing any sort of sustainable fantasy value.

"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
He def. will, unless injury, I don't see him playing anywhere else.
And in response to raff I actually think he gets PT. Offensively, there aren't many backups in the league that can stop Warrick. Aminu's weakness (offense) is Warrick's strength. I want to get miller minutes but he may be the one not seeing the floor too often.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Imagine a lineup of Vasquez - Gordon - Davis - Smith - Lopez. Do you guys think we might see this lineup any this season? So much versatility with our roster. I really like that. Monty should be able to match up with just about anything with this roster.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I don't think we will see that line-up, but we probably will see Vasquez, Gordon, Anderson, Davis and Lopez playing together from time to time, which would still leave us a nice bench.
Never trust a report that blatantly leaves out a player. Xavier Henry will play SF, giving the Hornets three SF's, plus Ryan Anderson in spot duty. There are less people in Warrick's way at his natural position of PF.
Warrick would be an awful SF. He can't score from the perimeter and he can't defend perimeter players. He would be an abomination from the wing.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Besides, they have to guard us too. What are they going to do when Davis does "play SF" and we run a pick and roll with him and Gordon?
You are absolutely right, they would have to defend us, but teams that put smaller, faster guys on the floor would hurt that lineup even with that length. I want our bigs to play big, and i dont want davis anywhere near the wing, pretty much eliminating his (team-helping, not 1 on 1) shot blocking/rebounding talents.
Don't think we'd play man to man with a line up like that.
Not to mention that if we really are going to be bound by calling things by positions, it'd be Anderson who does the majority of guarding the wing in that particular lineup.

Ain't it man? I don't even totally agree with what I'm saying. Just talkin' cuz we're in that summer doldrums period between Summer League and the start of training camps and mild debate passes the time while I kick writer's block in the teeth.
We need to go all zone this year.
Davis was a stud when playing the zone center in the Olympics.
Could New Orleans Hornets rookie power forward Anthony Davis see some action at small forward this year?
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultOn the surface, it would appear that players such as Al-Farouq Aminu and rookie Darius Miller would be the team's primary option this season at the small forward position, or even veteran acquisition Ryan Anderson.
But Hornets Coach Monty Williams offered an intriguing candidate as a possible part of the position's rotation on Tuesday: Anthony Davis.
In saying that no one has yet to step up and dominate the battle for the position, Williams said if the Hornets went to a big lineup, Davis could play the three.
"Anthony moreso than Ryan," Williams said. "The more I watch those guys play, Anthony has the skill set where he can play the wing a little bit. Ryan is really good at playing the four and learning those sets should be easier for him. But we don't know."

If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure (a systolic pressure — the top number — of 140 or above or a diastolic pressure — the bottom number — of 90 or above), you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.
Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you may avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication.
Here are 10 lifestyle changes you can make to lower your blood pressure and keep it down.
Blood pressure often increases as weight increases. Losing just 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) can help reduce your blood pressure. In general, the more weight you lose, the lower your blood pressure. Losing weight also makes any blood pressure medications you're taking more effective. You and your doctor can determine your target weight and the best way to achieve it.
Besides shedding pounds, you should also keep an eye on your waistline. Carrying too much weight around your waist can put you at greater risk of high blood pressure. In general:
Regular physical activity — at least 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week — can lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). And it doesn't take long to see a difference. If you haven't been active, increasing your exercise level can lower your blood pressure within just a few weeks.
If you have prehypertension — systolic pressure between 120 and 139 or diastolic pressure between 80 and 89 — exercise can help you avoid developing full-blown hypertension. If you already have hypertension, regular physical activity can bring your blood pressure down to safer levels.
Talk to your doctor about developing an exercise program. Your doctor can help determine whether you need any exercise restrictions. Even moderate activity for 10 minutes at a time, such as walking and light strength training, can help.
But avoid being a "weekend warrior." Trying to squeeze all your exercise in on the weekends to make up for weekday inactivity isn't a good strategy. Those sudden bursts of activity could actually be risky.
Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure by up to 14 mm Hg. This eating plan is known as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.
It isn't easy to change your eating habits, but with these tips, you can adopt a healthy diet:
Even a small reduction in the sodium in your diet can reduce blood pressure by 2 to 8 mm Hg. The recommendations for reducing sodium are:
To decrease sodium in your diet, consider these tips:
Alcohol can be both good and bad for your health. In small amounts, it can potentially lower your blood pressure by 2 to 4 mm Hg. But that protective effect is lost if you drink too much alcohol — generally more than one drink a day for women and men older than age 65, or more than two a day for men age 65 and younger. Also, if you don't normally drink alcohol, you shouldn't start drinking as a way to lower your blood pressure. There's more potential harm than benefit to drinking alcohol.
If you drink more than moderate amounts of it, alcohol can actually raise blood pressure by several points. It can also reduce the effectiveness of high blood pressure medications.

Awesome quality
I was a little hesitant when I saw the website about how thick the magnet would be and the picture quality. I ordered the sample and everything arrived in an awesome kit along with an actual magnet. After I ordered mine and they were delivered, I was so HAPPY with how they turned out. Not too bulky and the picture quality was great. It came in a cool box with a whole packet about invitations too. Everyone loves them! Can't wait to get my invitations from them. This company is amazing and makes me confident in anything I'll order from them.
love our save the dates
We absolutely loved our save the dates and so has everyone else! They were exactly what we expected and got them on time with no hassle.
Adorable tags!
These tags arrived promptly and were packages well to avoid any damage. They are so cute to go with my Vintage carnival theme! I plan on attaching these to rock candy sticks as favors and cannot wait for people to see them!!

The state Senate has passed legislation to permit an unlimited number of so-called "charter schools" throughout the state, which would be funded with our tax money.
Hopefully, state House members will exercise better judgment and let the proposal die in the House Education Committee.
Let's look at the facts:
Gov. Haley Barbour already has cut kindergarten through 12th grade education about $200 million because of an ongoing slowdown in state tax collections. Districts throughout the state, including the New Albany city district and the Union County school district, face eliminating teaching positions for the coming year.
The Barbour administration, no friend of public education, has put forth no plan for increasing revenue, instead predicting the schools will face even greater cuts in the coming year.
Charter schools operate with tax money, often under less stringent rules than required of public schools, and compete directly with the public schools. In Mississippi, we predict adding more charter schools also will lead to greater segregation.
We have said before and we will say again a community only is as strong as its public schools. Communities are best served if all the students—rich, poor, white, black or brown—are in the public schools. We are fortunate in this area not to be plagued with the private or charter school problem.
Mississippi has done an inadequate job of financing its public schools. The situation will only be made worse if more competing tax-supported schools are created.
We believe Sen. Gray Tollison, D-Oxford, asked the right question: "Do you think we need to start a new program when we can't afford the ones we have now?"
The answer clearly is, "No."


text: As one of the fastest growing pest problems in the United States, bed bugs can be found in all 50 states with the number of individual infestations increasing every month. Bed bugs can be picked up in many places and are notoriously hard to get rid of, proving to be resistant to many of the traditional pesticides that are commonly used to exterminate other bugs or insects. Bed Bug Treatment Heaters are one of the fastest, most effective tools when it comes to bed bug management and eradication, offering many advantages. Heat is non-toxic, sterile, odorless and leaves behind no residue, killing bed bugs at all life stages including their larvae or eggs. Heater equipment generates clean, dry heat to a safe temperature that is not only lethal to bed bugs, it's lethal to mold, bacteria, viruses, odor sources and other insects. Thermal Area Heaters offer not only the power to kill the bugs, it offers a great level of control over heat placement as well as how much heat is used, killing the bugs within a minimal amount of time at a cost less than using professional pest control services.Chemical free exterminating is a natural solution to pest control because it utilizes heat at high temperatures but doesn't require the use of pesticides or other chemicals that may be harmful or dangerous to you, your family and pets.

1. Martin de Candre
2. Cyril Salter French Vetiver
3. Acqua di Parma
For the past month I've been using Trader Joe's Honey Mango ($4) or olive oil combined with aloe vera and the results are superior to the expensive and chemical ridden products I have used. Natural, inexpensive and very moisturizing. I personally have used a brush and high end creams for years, but found most of them too drying for my skin, not to say overpriced for what you get.

Acqua Di Parma Colonia.
There's a sea of great ones, but my favorites:
Gentlemen's Tonic
AdP Collezione Barbiere
Castle Forbes
Anything by Gillette
Sandalwood by Taylors of Old Bond Street.
They are not kidding. A dime-size application (I use a wet shaving brush on a wet face) produces copious amounts of smooth, soothing and super-slick lather.
These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
The most slippery creams I have are,
Art of Shaving,
Crabtree & Evelyn.
The Australian Windsor cream is nearly as good, but at $7 is a fraction of the previous creams' prices.
The best brushless/latherless creams I have are,
Jack Black Beard Lube (not really a cream, sort of a clear liquidy gel),
Australian Natio Shave cream and Shave Gel (can't tell the difference between these two)
Australian David Jones Luxury Shave cream.
(These Australian brushless creams are better and cheaper than most of the foreign ones I've tried - a lot better than Neutogena, and a bit above the far more expensive Body Shop Macca Root one and Zirh one)
Australian TriShave 3 in 1 shave cream, better than Neutrogena, not quite as good as the Body Shop and Zirh one.
And I am extremely impressed with King of Shaves Azor Advanced Shaving Gel.
It is relatively inexpensive, it doesn't shave as smoothly as any of the above (as it's not as slippery as any of them), but it cushions. I have a lot less nicks and alum stings when I use it relative to other creams.

I'm enjoying the Italian soft soaps / hard creams at the moment: Proraso, Cella, RazoRock etc. I've a couple more from that genre to explore yet (i.e. Vitos) but, once I've used up my stock of these, I'll start investigating some of the French soaps (Provence Sante, Martin de Candre, Institut Karite, Monsavon etc) as well as some of the artisan offerings from my own British shores. I've owned and sampled plenty of the usual suspects from TOBS, GFT etc but, for both value and enjoyment, I'd rather buy a cheap Palmolive stick (49p) or cream (£1.75). I've moved on all bar DR Harris's Arlington soap and Trumper's Coconut Oil cream.
Just Purchased Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream for Sensative Skin. They have one for regular skin as well and let me just tell you it BLOWS ME AWAY everytime I use it. You can get it on their website or Barneys. Ive tried NUMEROUS shave creams because I get severe razor bumps on my neck and this reduces the amount of bumps more than any other cream ive used.
Ive used Edge, Gillette Regular Foam, Aveeno, Jack Black Beard Lube and countless others. So far this is the best.
"Stings the nostrils, in a good way. Im going to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline."
Current Top 5:
5.) Santa Maria Novella Muschio
4.) Dior Homme Intense ( Vintage )
3.) Dior La Collection Privee Ambre Nuit
2.) Creed Aventus
1.) Xerjoff Ibitira
Dirty Shave cream by LUSH---The ONLY cream I have found that allows a clean safe shave against the grain of my beard.
Honorable mention for Billy Jealousy.
New York Shaving Company Original Unscented Shaving Cream
Cushion , glide , lather , non-irritating ; checks all the boxes .
I've tried many creams and this one leaves my post shave skin in the best condition .
Their Tonsorial Shaving Cream smells like Creed's Millesime Imperial .
love lasts a long time, but burning desire, two or three weeks.
Trumper's Violets is my favourite. Honourable mentions to TOBS (Jermyn Street and Eton College), Bodyshop Macca Root and Speick. And good old Palmolive.
I've been using Barbasol in the yellow and white striped can the last few days (Dad left it for me at my house).
Trumper's Sandlewood
I've found that as far as "comes in a can" goes, it's hard to beat the Nivea offerings. They lather decently, do their job, and the biggest distinction from other "goo in a can" products: they wash off of your razor rather than clog it.
Gillette Foamy Sensitive Skin
1. Dior Homme Original
2. Musc Ravaguer
3. Portrait of a Lady
4. Noir de Noir
5. L Instant Guerlain pour Homme Extreme
6. New Haarlem
7. Pure Coffee
8. Blu Mediterraneo Sicilian Almond
9. Rose 31
10. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Haven't used cream in a while since I became a soap fanatic. But my favourite would have to be:
Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere shaving cream
Art of Shaving Sandalwood
Trumper's Sandalwood
Trumper's skin food
I'm kinda old school:
Along with Edge Gel
Absolutely, +1 for Caron Pour Un Homme. Incredibly rich foam and fantastic scent! I wet shave with an electric razor and this works wonderfully.
A little goes a long way...great suggestion cacio, my friend!
I have the Trader Joe's Honey Mango - great shaving cream, but it doesn't lather. Nice on the skin - as I use a wet, electric razor.
I can recommend the Alba Botanicals line of shaving creams in the same genre - all nice with refreshing scents (Aloe & Mint, Coconut & Lime, etc.) The key is a very good cleansing wash with an exfoliating facial soap, then rinse and apply this to moist skin and let it settle for a few minutes (and the nutrients absorb into your skin). Wet shave and you end up with very little razor burn.
Good stuff - and all that I mentioned are paraben-free and use organic/natural ingredients and are rich in Aloe and Vitamin E. What is nice is that all are also unisex, so I can use them on my face and my wife can use it on her legs. Very versatile.
Trader Joe's Aloe Mint foaming shaving is a bit thin - I use it when I have a light beard and am willing to tolerate a bit more razor burn...decent product, fair for the price.

I rotate Taylors sandalwood, jermyn st and Trumpers GFT....I prefer the soap in a bowl but add a wee bit of the corresponding cream for extra richness. Taylor's shaving soaps in particular produce a very nice lather....I shall stick to them.
Proraso green, Cella and La Toja soap stick are my current favourites. I've tried a fair few and I've plenty more to explore too - French soaps like Institut Karité, Provence Santé and Martin de Candre in particular.
I'm giving a plug to Cyril R Salter's French Vetiver, which I recently bought. It pairs brilliantly with Sycomore or Encre Noire.
I really like Art of Shaving Lemon. I'm just getting into the safety razor scene coming from a strict electric razor life, so I haven't used a ton of shaving creams in my day, but I really like AOS Lemon because it works for me and it smells awesome!!
In no particular order:
Art of shaving sandalwood
Queen Charlotte Vostoc for the face freeze
Queen Charlotte fougere
TOBS St. James
Musgo Real

Razorock's S Maria is an outstanding cream, and the price cannot be beat. Hands down the best cream I've ever used at any price point.
I use Proraso, G.F. Trumpers, and American Crew shave gel. All work well for me.
By the way, my favorite creams right now would have to be Acqua di Parma Collectione Barbiere for the warmer months and Taylor of Old Bond Street Mr. Taylor for the cooler. I've been using mostly soaps lately though.
Jack Black's Beard Lube. Love it.
L'Occitan: love the subtle Lavander and perper

For shaving foam, I've found that Noxzema is the best by a long way. I especially like their Sensitive Skin version and also the Coco Butter one...
I did have a post at Badger & Blade asking for which were the better ones to come out of a can, and while several were nominated as being adequate to good (the Gillette Fusion Gel several times), no one said that they were top league. I'll keep an eye out for this one if it's in a can, as I'd be curious to try it.
I use proraso shave cream and it get excellent, close shaves.
Also like Art of Shaving Lemon
Art of Shaving Sandalwood.
Trumpers is excellent.
Aveeno products have been performing quite nicely for me lately.

3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
I have fully converted into using the AdP Collezione Barbieri cream full time now. I have pretty much stopped looking for alternatives, *very* satisfied with it.

Trumpers Coconut oil Cream
Sans parfum, la peau est muette.
My favorite is actually fairly inexpensive and may not work for everyone as it is very thick. It is Stephan Stay Smooth Conditioning Shave Cream and can be purchased online or at local barber supply stores.
Great recommendations all. To help complete the survey, my go-to shave creams are Nancyboy Signature Shave Cream and The Gentlemens Refinery The Standard shave cream. Both can be bought in sample/travel sizes.
i have tried a whole bunch of niche shave soaps and creams with my DE razor and mach 3 over the past 2 years but i keep going back to my edge ultra sensitive shave gel in the purple and grey can...no scent because my face is pretty sensitive and i get a beter shave than most other creams..i also use the barbasol in the red can that my gym supplies in the locker room.
- - - Updated - - -
have a jar of Tabac that i am going to leave in the gym locker room with a "free to good home" sign on it along with a few other grooming products i will never use....someones trash is another mans treasure
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it
Used the Truefitt and Hill No 10 shaving cream last night , £8 from boots !!! Amazing stuff , my de razor just glides across this , it lathers really well and leaves my face really moisturised, amazing stuff for the price
I'm going to cheat. This is a shave cream with a shave oil. One product. Two separate dimensions. It's unquestionably the best shaving product on planet Earth. No wonder they call it The Absolute Shaving System: -
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

This is amazing
I tried forever to find a good shaving cream and finally I found the perfect one for my dry sensitive skin. It's Kiss My Face Moisture Shave in the unscented variety. It's really affordable and it's the only thing I've ever tried that hasn't irritated my skin or made me break out.
Nivea sensitive skin is outstanding to me. I also have been using a sample from L'Occitane called Cade and that has been a great experience lately for me.
Mikes Natural Soaps 10/10
Proraso 8/10
Stirling Shave Soap 8/10
Taylor Of Bond Street Sandalwood 5/10
To be honest, almost all Taylors of Old Bond Street, Truefitt & Hill, Geo Trumper and Penhaligon's creams I have tried were on the same quality level - quick and rich lathering, nice shaving. The only difference is the scent. Personally my favourite scents are Jermyn Street (TOBS) and Eucris (Geo Trumper).
Currently using the Bluebeard's Revenge shave cream, and its VERY good, nice lather, smell and a very smooth shave indeed. A 100ml tub is like £7.99 online which is really good value, I've had it for about a month now and still plenty left, this could last me 5-6 months.
Previously I used Proraso's shaving cream which is also really good, cooling menthol as well. Before that was Bulldog's Sensitive Shave Cream which i got on well with too. But BB's Revenge is the best I've used so far.

Q:Hi there! My skin has been looking very dull lately and I'm looking for a product that would make it much brighter with a glowing complexion. With that, I'm torn between Dark Angels and Ocean salt. Which one would be better for brightening the skin?Asked on 5/27/2015 by des
3 answers
A:Ocean Salt tends to be a little more brightening due to the vodka, sea salt, and citrus ingredients!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Ahoy there! Dark Angels is fabulous for clearing out those make up-clogged
pores and unveiling the cleaner, newer you underneath. But if you're
looking specifically for brighter skin, Ocean Salt's citrusy goodness is
perfect for brightening and tightening your skin, while exfoliating the
dead skin away with its coarse sea salt. Just be gentle with yourself and
use it once or twice a week for that scrumptious complexion you you're
looking for!
-KimAnswered on 5/28/2015 by Anonymous
A:It really depends on your skin type! My skin is extremely sensitive, so I
found ocean salt to be a little too harsh (it smelled great though!) Dark
angels is my favorite of the two: it offers a gentler cleanse, but still
brightened! It also seemed to help balance my skin, so it was less oily.
Hope this helps!Answered on 5/27/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I'm trying to decide whether to purchase this or the herbalism cleanser. What's the difference between the two and which is better for oily, acne prone skin?Asked on 5/26/2015 by vanessa
1 answer
A:Dark Angels tends to be more effective at absorbing and controlling oil, and Herbalism is more effective on treating and preventing breakouts. I would choose based on your main concern, as both will help with both issues!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I have oily combination skin. When i used Dark Angels for the first time,i notcied that it was a little rough on my skin so i massaged it slowly. After two days of use i noticed that all my blackheads started popping out like crazy. i had 5 on my left cheek and 3 on the other. Soon my left side of my cheek got bloody red . I didnt feel any irritation but my skin had a bad reaction to it. Does this happen to most people?Should i switch to Herbalism instead?Asked on 2/25/2015 by Lisa
2 answers
A:It sounds like you had a reaction to the Dark Angels cleanser. It is designed to help prevent and cleanse blackheads, not cause more issues! Herbalism might be a better fit for you. It is much less abrasive, with ground almonds instead of black sugar, and will exfoliate in a much more gentle fashion.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Emily from LUSH Direct
A:Oh switch... Definitely switch. Your skin should go through a purge stage but not like that... Give it to someone else and let your face rest with plain old bar soap until it heals... Try tea tree oil spray and then work in the herbalism to wash with...

Q:Is Dark Angels Cleanser okay to use on dry skin?Asked on 2/10/2015 by hannah from United States
2 answers
A:Dark Angels is typically used on oilier problem skin, as the powdered charcoal helps greatly to absorb excess oil on the skin. The cold pressed avocado oil is a great moisturizer, but I would recommend Angels on Bare Skin or Aqua Marina as a fresh cleanser for skin that is more on the dry side.Answered on 2/12/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct
A:I wouldn't be opposed to someone with dry skins using dark angels cleanser. However, if you do have a drier skin, I wouldn't encourage you to use it every day. Hope this helps!

A:Our Buffy body butter would be a nice companion to Dark Angels! It also exfoliates the body with a ton of ground almonds, and the cocoa and shea butters will put a ton of moisture into the skin.

Q:I bought this last week with enzymion and the first couple of days were okay. After the third day, I wanted to try enzymion as a primer because I was going out to Universal. It was much hotter outside than I thought it was going to be and I came home with 6 blind pimples (the huge under-skin ones that hurt really bad). I'm trying to figure out if it was the face wash or the moisturizer that caused the reaction. I think I'm allergic to enzymion because after a few days of leaving my face alone I used it over night and my face puffed up. No extra pimples though. I used the wash again today and i'm anxiously waiting to see if I'll break out again. If I do, what would be your recommendation for the next wash I should try? I don't think my face is particularly oily and it's definitely not dry. I get a lot of stress pimples though. I haven't had a blind pimple in years.Asked on 12/22/2014 by Nidia Newcomer from Orlando, Fl
2 answers
A:If you are experiencing puffiness or irritation at all it sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. I would recommend discontinuing use to see if your skin settles down, and then you may want to choose a different moisturizer that will suit your needs better.Answered on 2/13/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Hey there! for now I would recommend you to stop using enzymion, and let your face rest for a couple days. It is possible that you could have stripped your natural oils. I usually use Dark Angels once or twice a week to clean out my pores. I do recommend you buying Angels on Bare Skin and combine it with Dark Angels.Answered on 1/7/2015 by Em from New York
Q:If I have an oily face, acne (which is improving because of Dark Angels), using Dark Angels and Mask of Magnaminty, what should I use for acne scarring/dark areas on my face from old acne? I've only been using Dark Angels for about a week (with fantastic results!), so should I wait and see if Dark Angels will help with the scarring? Or does that not work, and if not what product should I use for scarring? Help please!Asked on 12/10/2014 by Samantha
1 answer
A:Dark Angels will start to make a difference in evening your skin tone over time, as the coarse sugar will slough away dead skin to reveal clearer, more even skin. Ocean Salt is a nice choice as well, as it will exfoliate and clarify with citrus and vodka!Answered on 2/13/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How do I/can I use Dark Angels with Mask of Magnaminty? I have them both but I want to know how to use them together properly. I'm not sure if I use the Mask first or how often I should use them in the same day. Help please!Asked on 12/9/2014 by Samantha
2 answers
A:Hi there! Thanks for your question! I would recommend using Dark Angels first, as the cleanser, then scrubbing it off with warm water to completely wash off any dirt or oil left on your face. Then, I would apply Mask of Magnaminty and let it sit on your face for the designated time, or until you feel like it!Answered on 12/31/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hey there!
What I normally do is apply Dark Angels first. Scrub it off with warm water completely to wash off any dirt or dead skin cells in your face. Then, I apply the mask and let it sit on my face for the designated time. I personally like to do before I jump in the shower, but you can always just do it over the sink.
I hope this helps and you enjoy! Happy Holidays!

Q:Hello I was just wondering a few things about this product, like would it help with sensitive skin more along the lines of skin irritated by eczema? Or skin that is just sensitive in general, also is this good for naturally lightening the skin? Thank you so much!Asked on 11/22/2014 by Morgan from Fort Carson, CO
1 answer
A:Dark Angels is great for oily skin, congested pores and dull skin. The rhassoul mud and charcoal will draw impurities out of the pores while the black sugar will remove dead skin cells on the surface. Also, cold-pressed organic avocado oil will re-hydrate the skin. We don't carry any products that will lighten the skin. However, exfoliating the skin will help speed up the skin cell renewal process which will give your skin youthful glow. If your skin is very sensitive, check out Fresh Farmacy and Aqua Marina.Answered on 11/24/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct

A:Hey Steppi!
I personally have never left it on overnight. I'm unsure of the potential for breakouts to happen. However, I wouldn't recommend it. Do your best to gently scrub while you're rinsing it off in all the applied areas. Stand under the water for a bit to make sure you don't have any grainy bits on you.

Q:I've been using dark angels for a couple of months and love what it does for my extremely oily skin. I recently moved and had to get back into a routine. I've started using it on a daily basis again but am still pretty stressed in my life. I'm looking for something to pair with it that will help me balance out my skin even when I am stressed. I also try to use mask of magnaminty once a week. I live 2 hours from any store so i can't use a fresh mask which is what I used to buy before when I would get stress acne. Any thoughts?Asked on 9/9/2014 by Brooke
2 answers
A:My best suggestion based on the information that you have provided would be our Tea Tree Toner which is great to use with a cotton pad after cleansing and remove every trace of dirt and oil from your skin or can be used as a spray over your face anytime it feels sensitive as the tea tree with soothe any redness or irritation. Another product that would be great is our spot treatment: Grease Lightening - this can be used on any acne flare-ups as soon as you notice them and this helps to reduce the problem and soothe the skin. If you are not already doing so, you should be following up your cleanser with a moisturizer and I would suggest you look at either Vanishing Cream (super light and great for clearing problem skin), Enzymion (full of fruit extracts and great for clarifying and balancing the skin) and Imperialis (a little richer than the first two, but fantastic at balancing your skin if you have issues with some areas being oily and some areas being more on the dry side).Answered on 9/11/2014 by Michelle from LUSH Direct
A:I have been using angels on bare skin and ultra bland at night along with dark angels a couple times a week and that balances out my skin perfectly!

Q:I've been using this cleanser for about 2 and a half weeks now, and have been breaking out since. I'm aware of the "purging" period that occurs when you start a new skin regimen, but was wondering if this cleanser is going to work for me. This has made my skin very soft and decreased my oil production extremely! I just want to know if this is going to work for my acne. Is this normal or should I try a different product?Asked on 7/29/2014 by Chloe
2 answers
A:A full skin cycle is about a month, so we usually recommend trying the product out for at least that length of time before deciding if it is right for you. It is absolutely normal to experience breakouts worse than usual in the beginning, as you said, but try to stick it out for a bit longer if you can before making your decision.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I'm not a skin professional by any means, but if you weren't breaking out before and just oily, I'd give it another week and if there is no improvement breakout wise, stop using it. I've been using this cleanser for a year now and never had a breakout issue (save for super stressed and girl time acne). I however, also pair tea tree water with my regimen as well. Lush also has a spot cleanser that I've read on other reviews (on the lush site) that work well with acne prone skin and dark angels, it's called grease lightening. If you aren't ready to throw In the towel just yet... Try that.
Good luck!

Q:Can Dark Angles be used with a clarisonic or would that be too harsh on the skin?Asked on 7/22/2014 by Sarah E from Salisbury, MD
2 answers
A:We wouldn't recommend using a Clarisonic with Dark Angels because it is made mostly of rhassoul mud which may clog the brush.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:I don't use both of them at the same time. Dark angels in the morning, clarisonic at night.Answered on 7/22/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I wash my face with this product then afterwards i wash it with ocean salt cleanser, is that recommended?Asked on 7/18/2014 by Chanandler Bong
2 answers
A:I would say that most people might find both of them right after the other too abrasive for their skin, but if it is working for out for you go for it.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:I would definitely recommend it. The charcoal in the scrub cleans and strips so well that you need to follow with a gentler cleanser for preventative measures. And then of course a good moisturizer!

Q:Is this cleanser okay to use on all skin types? I'm considering buying this and I want to be sure that it will work for me.Asked on 7/9/2014 by Nate from Green Bay, WI
2 answers
A:It is definitely appropriate for all skin types, however, it does tend to be very deep cleansing. If your skin is more on the sensitive side, we would suggest using it less frequently than you might if you prefer a rougher exfoliation.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I think it might be a little too exfoliating for very sensitive skin. As long as you're skin isn't sensitive, I'd say go for it. It's amazing!Answered on 8/6/2014 by Shelberto from New Orleans, La

Convenient Airport Parking...
Just A Mouse Click Away.
GoNOMAD guarantees you a reserved spot, at a great price, and according to the website's Airport Parking Reservations page, says it has done the shopping among rival lots and offers a "selection of safe and secure parking operators within 5 minutes of the airport." All provide free shuttles to and from terminals.
To test the offer, I went online and entered the necessary data: airport name (Newark), date of departure and time I planned to park, as well as my return date and time. I was immediately rewarded with options for a week's parking spot that cost from $71.50 to $110.00 (including a $4 service fee).
The distance of each parking lot from the airport was noted, as were hours of operation and whether it is self-service or valet attended. Customer ratings also were offered. For instance, Park 2 Go got four stars based on 389 customer surveys, and Vista Airport Parking gained its four stars from 1,460 respondents.
When I opted for more information on each lot, I discovered Mr. B's Self Park provides a free carwash and Park 2 Go offers carwashes and oil changes for a fee.
To sweeten the deal, GoNOMAD.com teamed up with My Travel Rebates (mytravelrebates.com) to offer customers up to 20 percent cash back when they use a Visa or Mastercard credit card to book airport parking, as well as variable discounts at 16,000 hotels, 23 cruise lines and car rentals at top agencies.

John Mitchell's disciplinary hearing will continue into next week and the Lions are only expected to announce the outcome in September.
The Lions coach was suspended during the league campaign after players complained about his brutal management style. Mitchell was expected to learn his fate this week, but it's now emerged that the hearing will take longer than anticipated.
According to Business Day, the hearing will continue into next week as the Lions players are called in to give their accounts. Lions acting CEO Ruben Moggee said that it would 'be a while' before this matter was concluded and that nothing would be finalised before September.

Kerry tackles questions on Iran, Syria, Hagel
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 8:07pm EST
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John Kerry, President Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of state, collected pledges of support Thursday and testified at his confirmation hearing that U.S. foreign policy should be defined by a helping hand as well as military strength.
The Massachusetts Democrat discussed Iran, Syria, climate change and a variety of issues with members of the Foreign Relations Committee at a hearing that recalled an unusual American life _ son of a diplomat, Navy lieutenant who volunteered for Vietnam, anti-war protester, five-term senator, unsuccessful nominee for president, and Obama's unofficial envoy.
The nearly four-hour hearing also provided an odd juxtaposition as Kerry, a member of the panel for 28 years and its chairman for the last four, sat alone in the witness chair. At one point, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the incoming chairman who presided, mistakenly referred to Kerry as "Mr. Secretary."
The current secretary, Hillary Rodham Clinton, introduced Kerry, calling him "the right choice." She is stepping down after four years.
The committee is expected to approve Kerry's nomination. A full Senate vote will take place Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.
"American foreign policy is not defined by drones and deployments alone," Kerry said in outlining his views. "We cannot allow the extraordinary good we do to save and change lives to be eclipsed entirely by the role we have had to play since Sept. 11, a role that was thrust upon us."
Kerry spoke out strongly for dealing with climate change, providing food and energy security and humanitarian assistance. He also spoke of robust foreign aid, but he insisted that the country must get its fiscal house in order to lead in the world.
"More than ever, foreign policy is economic policy," said Kerry, who described himself as a "recovering member of the supercommittee." That bipartisan panel failed in 2011 in its mandate to come up with a deficit-cutting plan.
Faced with Iran's nuclear program, Kerry said the United State will do what it must to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but he also signaled that diplomacy remains a viable option.
"I repeat here today: Our policy is not containment. It is prevention, and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance," Kerry said.
The senator said he was hopeful that the U.S. and other nations could make progress on the diplomatic front, but that Tehran needs to relent and agree to intrusive inspections.
"If their program is peaceful, they can prove it," he said.
In an unexpected exchange, Kerry found himself defending Obama's pick of Republican Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary against GOP criticism.
Sen. Bob Corker, the senior Republican on the panel, expressed concerns about Hagel's support for an 80 percent reduction of U.S. nuclear weapons, a major issue for the Tennessee lawmaker and his home state. The Y-12 nuclear facility is located near Oak Ridge, Tenn., and any cuts or delays in modernization to the nuclear arsenal would have an impact on local jobs.
"I know Chuck Hagel. And I think he is a strong, patriotic former senator, and he will be a strong secretary of defense," Kerry said.
The Massachusetts senator urged lawmakers to be realistic, arguing that an 80 percent cut is an aspiration that would be unlikely in the current climate.
On Syria, Kerry was asked about his outreach to President Bashar Assad, now an international pariah after months of civil war and unending violence against his citizens.
Kerry said there was a moment where Syria reached out to the West but that the moment has long passed.
"History caught up to us. That never happened. And it's now moot, because he has made a set of judgments that are inexcusable, that are reprehensible, and I think is not long for remaining as the head of state in Syria," the senator said. "I think the time is ticking."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a fierce critic of Obama's policy on Syria, said the status quo is unacceptable with the United Nations estimating that 60,000 have been killed and the heavy influx of refugees in Jordan and Turkey.
After a recent visit to the refugee camps, McCain warned that Syrians frustrated with the U.S. response will be a recruitment target for extremists.
"We can do a lot more without putting American boots on the ground," McCain said. "Otherwise, we will be judged harshly by history."
Kerry said it was imperative to continue discussions with Russia and others in dealing with Syria but that "I don't have optimism."

SCCA Western Conference Round Three Shines At Buttonwillow
BUTTONWILLOW, Calif. (April 27, 2013) – Round Three of the SCCA Western Conference Majors Tour crowned a host of winners on Saturday and set the stage for a Sunday showdown in the second half of the doubleheader.
The California desert provided the hottest Majors race in any Conference already in this young season, with temperatures stretching into the low 90s.
The first group played out in a battle of attrition. Mike Lewis' No. 12 Goodyear/Cyclo/Redline Oil Jaguar XKR led early and in GT-1, but slowed dramatically on lap six of 15 before nursing his machine past the halfway point for a point-scoring finish. That left Tom Wickersham's No. 02 Maine Straight Racing Porsche GT3 in the GT-2 and overall lead, cruising for a win.
Like the battle up front, the Touring 1 class was a battle at the midpoint that didn't quite materialize. Michael Von Quilich's No. 19 Apartments24-7.com/MyFreeLife.com Dodge Viper was being chased by Ken Davis' No. 64 Davis Stone Inc Chevrolet Corvette until, with four to go, Davis fell out of the race. Von Quilich cruised to the victory.
Attrition also decided the E Production battle. John Longwell chased Aaron Downey's No. 5 Roundpeg.com Mazda RX-3 while holding off the No. 50 K&G Racing Mazda RX-7 of Gary Gist early on. When both fell victim to mechanicals issues, Longwell's No. 38 LEDfoot Motorsports BMW 328i was elevated to the lead, just in front of the No. 42 CureSarcoma.org/Electromotive/Fuel Safe/Hoosier Mazda RX-7 of new Western Conference point leader Philip Royle.
Former Spec Racer Ford National Champion John Black posted a noteworthy drive in his class. Starting at the rear of the 18-car field after failing to post a qualifying time in the morning session, Black worked his way through traffic in the No. 17 machine. A boost from a full course caution on lap nine moved him closer to the front, and when the dust settled he had moved into fifth place.
The class win went to Mike Miserendino, who took over the Western Conference point lead in the No. 11 MBI Racing SRF. Miserendino followed the No. 61 SRF of TJ Acker as the two broke away from the field, first from the green flag and then again after the yellow. Left alone, Miserendino moved to the front with two to go and held on for the win.
Elliot Skeer earned his third consecutive Western Conference Spec Miata win to open the season, breaking away from the field in the No. 77 RM Auto Sports/Pelican Windows & Remodeling Mazda Miata for a 1.494 second victory. Clement Lee closed the gap in his No. 33 RM Autosports Miata late in the race, but Skeer got a second wind for the victory.
In Formula Continental, Les Phillips used his local knowledge as the General Manager of Buttonwillow to lead the early laps, and stalked then-leader Michael Manning's No. 25 Cypress Lane Racing/Dauntless Racing Cars Van Diemen RF01 throughout the race.
Phillips drove his No. 2 Swiss Implants/Porterfield Brakes Van Diemen F2000/Ford around Manning after overall leaders Lee Alexander, in C Sports Racing, and Chris Farrell, in D Sports Racing, got the one to go signal from the starters stand.
Now behind, Manning was robbed of a chance to challenge for the lead when Alexander's No. 48 Factory 48 Motorsports Stohr WF1/Suzuki split the Continentals on the front straight, bringing out the checkered flag on he and Manning and letting Phillips drive the final lap unchallenged for what appears to be a one-lap win.
Phillips hopped out of the Formula Continental and, in the very next race group, put himself straight into yet another fight. Teammates Bill Kephart (No. 37 Vestial 10F/Honda) and Michael Lewis (No. 77 Red Line Oil/Cyclo Vestial 09F/Honda) pulled away at the start, followed by Stan Townes and Philips. Lewis fell behind the No. 6 Swift DB1 of Stan Townes and Phillips' No. 89 Swiss Implants/Porterfield Brakes Mygale SJ4, leaving Townes and Phillips to reel in Kephart.
Kephart seemed to be catching traffic at the right time, growing his advantage, but Phillips was in full stalk mode. On lap 10, Phillips moved to the inside of Townes down the long back straight and into braking for the sharp left hander. Townes spun, and three corners later, Phillips pressured Kephart into a spin as well.
Phillips cruised to his second victory of the day, by 14.010 seconds over Lewis. Townes recovered to finish third, followed by Kephart.
Marc Hoover sat on the overall and Super Touring Under pole and immediately ripped away from the field, opening up a gap of more than seven seconds on the opening lap.
Lap two, however, was when the wheels fell off of the No. 98 Hooverspeed/NRA/Necksgen/Red Line Oil Mazda Miata – literally. Hoover's rear wheel came off through a corner, sending him off track and unfortunately ending his day 14 laps early. Tom Wickersham cruised to the group's overall win and the Touring 3 gold medal – his second win of the day - driving the No. 14 Maine Straight Racing Honda S2000.
The day ended with a very strong Sports 2000 field, who began the race chasing the No. 75 Veracity Racing Data Vin Diemen RFS-03/Ford of David Ferguson. Ferguson opened up a lead from the start of the race, but heavy smoke coming from his car on lap eight ended his day.
That elevated the No. 2 Swift DB-5/Ford of Edward Guenther to the lead. Guenther was chased hard by the No. 22 That's My Juice, Inc. Swift DB-5 of Sterling Ellsworth, who was gutting the lead by as much as 1.8-seconds per lap in the latter stages of the race.
On lap 14, Ellsworth had closed to the rear of Guenther, but ran off track in the closing corners of the lap. Guenther finished the final lap to win by 10.267-seconds, with Ellsworth hanging on to the runner-up slot.
The Western Conference Majors Tour Round Four rolls off the grid with qualifying at 8:00 a.m. PDT Sunday morning at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Live timing, notes and streaming audio from the track's PA feed is available at www.scca.com/SCCALive.

Even with a percentage of uninsured motorists that's below the national average, Hawaii is taking significant steps to reduce the cost that the uninsured impose on law-abiding motorists.A group of transportation officials is recommending that the state establish a web-based verification system within two years that allows authorities to instantly confirm that a driver has a valid policy. The recommendations, published by the state's regulatory department late last week, establish the framework of an insurance verification program, including issuing notifications that target uninsured motorists who repeatedly break the law and suspension of their vehicle registrations if they fail to reply.

The Wailing Wind
The Wailing Wind (Mass Market Paperback)
Officer Bernadette Manuelito found the dead man slumped over in the cab of a blue pickup abandoned in a dry gulch off a dirt road, with a rich ex-con's phone number in his pocket . . . and a tobacco tin nearby filled with tracer gold. It's her initial mishandling of the scene that spells trouble for her supervisor, Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police, but it's the echoes of a long-ago crime that call the legendary former Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn out of retirement. Years earlier, Leaphorn followed the trail of a beautiful, young, and missing wife to a dead end, and his failure has haunted him ever since. But ghosts never sleep in these high, lonely Southwestern hills. And the twisted threads of craven murders past and current may finally be coming together, thanks to secrets once moaned in torment on the desert wind.

Ten years later Pietro Christofoli hasn't forgotten.
He still remembers like it was yesterday.
He still honors the men lost.
Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq and the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The nearly nine-year war ended on Dec. 18, 2011 and cost the lives of nearly 4,500 service members and left more than 32,000 troops wounded.
For those who survived, the memories will last a lifetime.
Christofoli's call to war came before his Christmas leave in 2002.
"My (superior) told me to enjoy Christmas because when I came back I'd more than likely be heading to Iraq," he said. "It was weird saying goodbye to my folks, but it's a job we signed up for. They were more upset than I was."
Before he knew it, he was on a "pretty interesting and unpleasant flight" across the Atlantic in a C-17 cargo plane.
"I expected dirt — a lot of dirt," said Christofoli, 33 of Lexington, S.C., on what he thought Iraq would be like. "As far as militarily, I didn't expect the enemy to be that hard. They put the fear of chemical warfare out there.
"Being a corpsman I expected a lot of my guys to get hurt. Thankfully they didn't."
What he didn't expect was the people to be so warm or their lives to be so different.
"I didn't think the people were going to be as happy to see us as they were. They were genuinely happy to see us," said Christofoli who served with 2nd Tanks during the invasion. "We passed this little village and everyone lined up on the road and waved at us as they smiled.
"I wasn't expecting piles of trash sitting besides their houses doubling as a playground for their kids. It was a bit of a shock."
When he joined the Navy in 1999, Christofoli didn't anticipate going to war, much less what it meant.
When they first got to the Middle East, he said, it was a waiting game. In March 2003, it was time to cross the border.
"We went in through Kuwait — tanks went first," he said. "Then we came in and come to find out, we were in there fighting for four to five hours before anyone else even crossed the border. As soon as we crossed over the fighting started — not that long at all and we were under fire."
The fighting eventually ended and U.S. forces were able to push further into Iraq.
"Before I left it wasn't real yet," he said. "I was excited. I thought to myself, 'let's give it a whirl.' But when I got there war wasn't what I expected. You grow up watching the old war movies and think it's going to be constant blood and guts. Honestly it wasn't that bad. I think things got a lot worse after the initial invasion."
He remembers his first casualty and the numbness he felt under fire.
"I was always nervous that when it came time to do my job I would freeze up." he said. "I didn't. I never had time to feel afraid. When I got called to treat someone I was more into taking care of them than I was about what was going on around me."
The hardest part for Christofoli was the lack of communication with the real world, he said.
"When you come back it seems like the real world kept going and you were stuck on pause. You had to put your life in fast forward in order to catch up," he said.
"I seemed a little out of it when I came home."
Ten years later, Christofoli finally feels like he has caught up with the real world. Currently, he is going to school through the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program to become a nurse. Graduating in December, "I'll get commissioned and go wherever the Navy sends me."
But for the remainder of his career, war has left its mark.
"I think I have come back more hyper-vigilant and I'm more nervous in crowds," he said. "If I'm in a car with someone and they are driving I get real jumpy. My wife says I have two emotions: angry and happy."
The war and the loss of comrades have taught him to cherish life.
"I learned to appreciate warm water and showers," he said. "I don't take things for granted anymore. Finally, I learned that life is short so you need to enjoy it while you got it."

Conklin Hurles Softball to Split with Limestone; Lady Falcons Open Up Tournament Play Friday as #7 Seed
April 13, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University and Limestone College split the final Conference Carolinas softball doubleheader of the season on Tuesday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The Lady Saints took a 3-1, eight-inning win in the opener while the Lady Falcons claimed a 5-0 shutout victory in the nightcap. Limestone, entering this weekends conference tournament as the top seed, finishes 37-20 overall, 16-4 in league play. Pfeiffer, seeded seventh for the weekend, concludes at 19-27, 9-11.
GAME ONE: Limestone 3, Pfeiffer 1 (8)
Both sides had a couple of early chances in game one, but needed one extra inning to settle things out. Kirstyn Burleson (Candler, NC) started the inning at second base and scored the first run on a throwing error towards third. Hannah Mills (Richmond, VA) and Lauren Myers (Blackstone, VA) followed with RBI-singles later in the inning, a part of a four-hit frame, for a three-run lead.
Pfeiffer tried to battle back in the home half of the eighth as a RBI-single by Sam Taylor (Surrey, British Columbia) plated Melanie Conklin (Wellington, OH) from second. Game one hurler Emily Wallace (Winchester, KY) then settled down to get a line drive and pair of strikeouts to end the contest.
Wallace went the distance allowing the one unearned run on five hits with five strikeouts. Myers led the Lady Saints with a pair of hits at the plate. For Pfeiffer, Taylor had a 2-for-3 game one with a RBI in the loss.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 5, Limestone 0
Conklin took the circle in game two for the Lady Falcons firing off a two-hit shutout in the 5-0 win. Conklin fanned 10 Lady Saints in the victory.
Pfeiffer backed up their right-hander with two in the fourth on a RBI-double from Heather Nobles (Angier, NC) and run-scoring single to center by Mariah Chalk (Hickory, NC). Adding three in the sixth, Kylee Nichols (McMinville, OR) registered the only RBI in the frame as Pfeiffer took advantage of two Limestone errors.
Nichols went 3-for-4 with the run batted in to lead the hosts in game two while Nobles followed closely behind going 2-for-3 with a RBI and two runs scored. Jenna Guse (Pearland, TX) and Jordan Smith (Goose Creek, SC) had the only hits for the visitors in game two.
