Spain dominated January's search rankings, with five Spanish cities in the top ten. Faro and Dalaman also made the hot list, suggesting that sun and sand are still top priorities for British travellers, although the presence of flights to London, New York and Amsterdam shows that city breaks are also popular.
The most popular medium and long haul destinations searched for during January were: flights to New York (7th), Bangkok (11th), Orlando (15th), Sharm el Sheik (24th), Dubai (30th), Sydney (36th), Johannesburg (43rd), Las Vegas (45th), Delhi (48th) and Hong Kong (49th).
Overall, Spain remains the most popular country for British travellers, despite fears that less favourable euro exchange rates would lead to a switch to non-euro countries such as Turkey, which has three destinations in the rankings, including a high number of searches for cheap flights to Dalaman. Despite being the UK's closest neighbour, France is notably scarce in the top 50, with only one French city ranking, possibly due to the increased popularity of the Eurostar over flying.
Barry Smith, Skyscanner co-founder and business director commented:
"Following a year of economic stress in 2009, we're waiting to see which locations rise from the ashes of recession in 2010. Spain is still the top dog by a long shot, but Portugal, Italy and Cyprus have a significant slice of the market and Turkey and Thailand are nipping at its heels. Orlando should do well this year due to the opening of Harry Potter's Wizarding World, and South Africa will also see a spike due to the World Cup."

So, England wing Mark Cueto berates the media for continuing to criticise his team mates for their appalling off-the-field behaviour during this Rugby World Cup.
Well, how do you like that? Presumably, Cueto includes former England centre Jeremy Guscott in his line of fire, for daring to condemn Cueto's errant colleagues.
I don't know about you but I find this hard to believe. I mean, which world does Cueto inhabit? Mike Tindall, an England captain, goes into a New Zealand bar, gets himself awash with alcohol and canoodles with some woman in full view of everyone else in the place.
Then, when confronted about his activities that night, he lies to people to cover his tracks. Following that unsavoury affair, England then try to hush up the fact that three more of their players verbally abused a New Zealand woman in a hotel.
Of course, the truth finally dribbled out, as it was always going to. They are forced to apologise to the woman in question.
When you consider, as Guscott rightly said, that these are young men privileged to be able to represent their country at a World Cup, you have to shake your head in wonderment at such behaviour. I'd just ask this – are these players mentally deficient or just plain dumb? Whatever the truth, they're most certainly bloody arrogant.
If it were members of the Fourth Estate going out and getting awash with booze, people would say well, what do you expect? But at this World Cup, it seems that the media boys are too busy trying to keep up with all the shenanigans of the England players, to get a drink themselves.
I would ask this. How can these idiots call themselves 'professionals' when they behave in such a rank amateurish way? Whatever they are, they're certainly not being professional.
Professional people don't go out and behave in this way, especially if they are top level sportsmen.
I'm not being naïve here. I'm perfectly sure that the players of all the countries at this Rugby World Cup have, at times, been out and had a few beers. And I don't see anything wrong with that. You can't expect players to live and behave like monks for seven weeks.
After their superb win over Australia, Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll said "We will have a great night."
I'm quite sure he didn't mean they'd have an extra glass of milk before turning in for the night at 10 o'clock. But teams like Ireland seem able to have a good night without getting washed out with booze. And their general behaviour seems in a different league to that of England.
Anyone has to be dismayed at the way England have behaved during this tournament. It's no wonder that apparently the RFU want manager Martin Johnson to take a tougher line with his players.
But maybe it's a bit late for that. Their reputation was shot to pieces ages ago. And they only have themselves to blame.

26 April 2013 15:25 [Source: ICIS news]
MEDELLIN, Colombia (ICIS) --The American Natural Soda Ash Association (ANSAC) announced a price increase of $30/tonne (€23/tonne) on soda ash sales, the organisation said on Friday.
ANSAC, the sales and logistics operation for three natural soda ash producers in the US, said the hike was effective immediately for all non-contract sales and on contract sales when notice allows.
"Our growth in sales volume over the last few years is beginning to outpace our ability to load and ship tons in the reliable manner we deem essential," said ANSAC chief executive John Andrews. "Organic growth and buyers moving to us for our service and reliability has resulted in almost 1m tonnes of growth from 2011 to 2013."
ANSAC's member companies include FMC, Tata Chemicals North America and OCI Chemical.
The companies export about 4m tonnes of natural soda ash, making ANSAC the largest soda ash exporter in the world, according to the group's website.
Soda ash is primarily used in glassmaking, the manufacture of other inorganic chemicals, detergents, flue gas desulphurisation, water treatment and in pulp and paper manufacturing.
The global flat glass market is largely dominated by four major manufacturers including AGC, Saint-Gobain, NSG and Guardian.
($1 = €0.77)

Offbeat inkjet surfaces
A quick guide to unusual paper
Most photographic-quality prints to come out of an inkjet printer are on glossy, fairly thick paper that mimics the look and feel of prints that come from a pro lab.
But these three common paper types barely scratch the surface (pun intended). Look in the "Inkjet Specialized Media" category and you'll find an entire world of funky, creative surfaces to print your images on.
Here are four personal favorites:
Stretchable canvas. There are two kinds of canvas print surfaces available—a canvas-textured surface that has similar characteristics to paper (you can't stretch it without risking a tear) and stretchable canvas, which lends itself better to being placed on a traditional painter's frame. Inkpress makes a line of stretchable, waterproof surfaces that are 100 percent acid and lignin free, and work well with pigment-based inks. If you just want the canvas look and don't need to stretch it, there is an extensive array of non-stretch canvas surfaces available from over a dozen brands.
Poly silk fabric. Projet Smooth Silk Surface RC paper is a microporous paper that comes in a variety of sizes including 8x10, has a 230gsm weight, 95% brightness and 96% opacity. Its fabric-like surface gives images on display a nice sheen.
T-shirt transfers. Remember iron-ons? You'd get artwork on a surface that you can transfer to your T-shirt by simply using a hot iron. The heat releases the artwork from its original binding and it binds to the fabric of the shirt. Well, you can create your own by designing it in Photoshop, then using iron-on transfer inkjet paper. It can be a photo, words, or a combination of both. Just remember to flip your photo (mirror image) and print that out, so it'll come out right on the shirt. Since your shirt will probably wear out before the photo does, you needn't worry about ink longevity so you can do this on any inkjet printer with any ink.
Magnet sheets. Everyone posts photos on their fridge. Why not make it easier? Print photos with a fridge-friendly magnetic surface! Avery's Inkjet Magnet Sheets are a great promotional item but can also be used for a personalized photo gift. Available in 8.5x11-inch sheets, the paper is easy to cut into smaller sizes with scissors or a (more accurate) paper trimmer.
What's your favorite offbeat inkjet surface? Leave a comment, below!

Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Rating
Tour captured all of what we had wanted to do with great tour leader. Unfortunately accommodation could have been better. We booked B and B ensuited rooms and only the last night in Inverness was good. On the Isle of Skye our bathroom was down a corridor past other bedrooms and off the main foyer with NO lock on the door. This accommodation was sub standard, very old, small and dated and should not be used again. But Scotland's charm made our trip memorable.
London, United Kingdom
My Rating
two day pass okay but hard to really get your money's worth at this time of year due to long queues everywhere.

Since when was this new?

Since when was this new?
We're starting a new tradition in the Big House -- listen up to Devin Gardner (@dg1two): http://youtu.be/g3cxhnD0bmk #MICHvsCMU
Stop telling me what to do and say dad!!!!!............errrr...............Dave Brandon.
Beyond stupid.
I'll pass... If anything, let's get another song chant started (Something other than Seven Nation Army but just as good a song)
Would love for them to find a way to get the chorus of the new Eminem song "Berzerk" in there. Heard the "clean" version and I still don't think it would go over in Brandon-Land but it is a great and very stadium-friendly song absent the curses.
You do realize that lots of families like to attend the football games as well. Not only would it not go over, it would in fact most likely go under.
I could see both working
I like "Radioactive" the song on the best 2013 hype video IMO. The drum/bass over the PA could queue the chorus as a crowd chant:
"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive"
It could be shortened, but I think that would sound pretty cool if 109,000 people could learn the words.
Agreed. NFW
Heroin ftw!
Anyone know which stadium crowd started that White Stripes chant? Everyone's doing it now.
Hate You.
Penn State maybe
Penn State
It was a Belgian soccer team, whose fans brought it to Italy where it caught on, and then it spread to the U.S.
Needs some Freekbass.
This leads directly to a large fluffy yellow squirrel-man dancing on the field with the cheerleaders. Jay-sus H Cristo the whole fucking world is an endless spinning hype gyro, can we not just have a dignified traditional kick-ass football game in our awe-inspiring stadium? We already love it with all of our hearts. Stop fucking with it.
This didn't look that bad for the 1980s.
was that Bill Martin in the video? and Steve Fisher?
That's Steve and Angie Fisher on the golf cart, and then AD Jack Weidenbach very firmly getting his point across to the Willy handler.
Know the guys from the dorm my freshman year that tried to get that going........so glad it did not. Nice enough guys, but just not at all down with any type of mascot. This corporate-like sizzle video for the 'new' chant makes me think this is once again possible, along with freeeeee teeeeee-shiiiiiiiiiiiirt and hot dog guns.....the type of things that prevent me from ever attending professional sporting events unless there is a gun pointed to my head.
The actual Wolverine suit itself may not be that that offensive, but the hair on #4 certainly is.....a cross between Flock of Seagulls & Good Fellas....really do not miss the 80's even a little bit.
You can't "start new traditions". That's an oxymoron.
Irregardless, there's a plethora of good chants. We're changing the paradigm on the whole football experience.
Irregardlessly, I could care less.
Marty: Let's...uh talk a little bit about the history of the group. I understand Nigel you and David originally started the band wuh...back in...when was it...back in 1964?
[ ... ]
David: So we became The Originals.
Nigel: Right.
David: And we had to change our name actually....
Nigel: Well there was, there was another group in the east end called The Originals and we had to rename ourselves.
David: The New Originals.
Nigel: The New Originals and then, uh, they became....
David: The Regulars, they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought well, we could go back to The Originals but what's the point?
Nigel: We became The Thamesmen at that point.
Its like, how much more black could it be? and the answer is none. None more black
...if it were mixed correctly. You don't do chants in doubly.
.....too much f**king perspective
"New" cheer = stupid = Brandon's idea. However, Gardner has a career on TV if he wants it. That guy is great on camera.
Devin Gardner will be an anchor on a weekly NFL show in 20 years time. Guaranteed.
I'd rather they play this during TV timeouts to the crowd rather than "Sweet Caroline". At least they're trying.
Please. I never want to hear that or born and raised in the fictional south Detroit.
You have a problem with Windsorites? Eh?
How is this new? Doesn't one side of the stadium say "Let's", another say "Go" and the rest say "Blue" already?
Isn't there a Michigan Marching Band song called "Let's Go Blue" that they play on occasion and we all yell (softly from our seated position) "Let's Go Blue"? (Parenthetically, we don't seem to do this as much as we used to.)
So now what? Radom players will appear on the score boards saying "Let's Go" and we yell "BLUE!" ??? (Maybe they'll do this exactly when Temptation finishes to attempt to side track "You Suck". / I am surprised the student section hasn't figured out how to wait for the two added notes and then yell by now.)
Anyway - whatever - nice job by Devin though.
the cheerleaders hld up the signs. I think this "new" chant is the whole stadium shouting together "at" Gardner.
has some great Charisma though. He seemed pretty comfortable in front of the camera. That script was pretty forced and cliche but I think he did a pretty good job. I hope he shows his personality this year during interviews.
That aside, stupid idea from the AD and I agree with the comments above about that. DG is the man though.
So which team of consultants got paid to add "Let's" onto the cheerleader's placards?
They are real men of genius.
this one smacks of some marketing team sitting around a conference table and the top dude says: "hey, I have an idea ..." Everyone else nods up and down and exclaims how it is the best idea ever. Then the top dude says "let's do focus group research to test it".
So they bring in the market research consultants, and they do several focus groups across Michigan, LA, Chicago, NY, and DC - maybe Tokyo, London, Paris, and Berlin as well.
Of course, any market research firm worth it's salt knows the top dude pays the bills and chooses repeat vendors, so somehow, even if the true Michigan fan in every city says "huh? I'm confused", the idea being tested is concluded the BEST IDEA EVAR.
Granted, this is not so bad - more funny for lack of originality. But this is how things like Edsal (or products with passive names like "Vista") come to be.
Detroit City FC supporters had a great chant at their playoff game vs a team from Cleveland.
F* Ohio, F* Ohio...it was loud, it was glorious.
"Let's Go™!!! "
Let's Go™!!! PRESENTED BY ARBY'S
Blue™!!! BROUGHT TO YOU BY ADIDAS
Why must you give them these ideas?
Weird, because I think he's made an overwhelmingly positive impact at Michigan so far -- even if there are a couple minor "gaffes" (bumblebee uniformz, this potentially).
If they didn't say "new tradition" this wouldn't bother me at all. Just play it on the board and don't make a big deal about it.
I think the giant noodle in the concourse renders your argument invalid.
How does this tie into marketing?
These will be video clips played on the videoboard of players saying LETS GO and the crowd will yell BLUE.
Kind of lame and pro sportsy to me.

The shape creates a distinct appearance, and a highly visible one at that. But it also influences how comfortable you are while riding. Your fingers need to reach and pull the brake lever that you choose.

The OEM Suzuki DRZ shift lever must be designed for elves. I wear a 9.5-10 boot and the DRZ shift lever is really annoying. I measured my YZ250 from center of peg to center of shift tip and it was about 167mm, my 2013 KTM 250XC is 170mm-ish, and now my 2004 DRZ400E is 173mm-ish. After numerous dual sport trips the MSR shift lever is still straight and doing great. The only reason I didn't rate this a 5 is because the shift tip is excessively long. I cut the shift tip at the first line to bring it in line with most modern shift levers. Now I have a shift lever distance and tip length similar to most modern bikes. Bring your DRZ into the 2010's and purchase this shift lever!Read All Reviews

- Used for ATV / OHV Trails
I've noticed most of the reviews (and marketing materials) have focused on the value of Hunting GPS Maps as a tool for hunters.
My local Sportsman's Warehouse recommended this product to me when I told them I was looking for a GPS capable of depicting public ATV / OHV trails.
I have it loaded it on my Garmin Nuvi GPS, and it works GREAT! We have a bunch of public ATV / OHV trails here in Colorado, and the Rockies South database seems to have all of them.
I'm very happy with the product, and have told several other ATV and off-road motorcyclists about it.
- A must have product
I grew up in rural Utah hunting my entire life. When I grew up I joined the military my love for hunting died because I could not find any land to hunt on. My first experience with this product was when I came home for Christmas leave my brother had this product on his GPS. I thought I knew of all public property around our house we could hunt on. After using this amazing product we discovered many more acres of hardly hunted land and we were very successful in our hunt.
This lead to me purchasing multiple maps. I just recently came home from Afghanistan and my love for hunting is re-kindled as I am super excited to be able to find hunting lands near my military base in Texas.
Another very useful tool if you own an OHV I have used this product to find public lands to ride on and have seen many views I would have never dreamed of seeing!
Thank you huntinggpsmaps for allowing me to get in touch with the love of hunting and nature again. Not to mention your love for veterans and the awesome discount for military personnel.
- Excellent, Cost effective product
Recently purchased this product since here in NM landowners are not required to post private land and with large amounts of patchwork public/private land throughout the state it's a must have. Recently used this product on an antelope hunt where NM gives a small map of the ranch you are assigned to this product was great, it allowed me to use the state and private patchwork to easily find where I was supposed to be and know exactly what was not legal to hunt as the ranch I was assigned to had several small patches of non-huntable public land in the center with no boundary markings, making this an invaluable product to have. The only changes I would like to see is to the road structures open versus closed. In National forests having a sometimes yearly change of approved open roads it would help if somehow the open roads appear different than the closed roads/old roads, as you now have to stay of approved roads only in most of NM national forests. Some are open only to atv's, motorcycles, and small vehicles, a designation of the type of vehicle the road is open too would be the only improvement I could see. Otherwise you can't go wrong with this product.
- Great Product!
Recently bought the regional Rockies South SD card for my Garmin Dakota 20. Very pleased with the visibility of private lands which was the primary feature I needed. I've been in situations where it was not clear where the boundaries were and that is not a good feeling! It would have been interesting to have the premium single state version with landowner names for the same price but I like having four states all on one card. Wish I would have bought this years ago. A must have for hunters, hikers and others!

Both radios are connected through the bandpass filters to any of the available antennas via a remote 2x6 antenna switch. This allows the operator to select the optimum antenna for the running station on one band, while picking new ones on another band using the second radio on one of the other antennas. Works pretty well during the slow times, but is a challenge during busy runs.
I have always preferred CW for contesting, but like SSB as well. I hope to contact you in any contest, and I'm happy to QSL via the DARC buro, LOTW or direct.

A local man accused of running down a teen who was walking down a sidewalk has pleaded guilty to the crime, authorities say.
Investigators said 42-year-old John G. Ramirez was traveling east in the 3100 block of Culebra Road on May 6 when he drove up onto the curb, hitting 17-year-old Nathan Chavez. Ramirez reportedly fled the scene.
Chavez was taken to University Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:09 a.m. that day.
Ramirez had served six months probation for a previous DWI conviction in August 2006.
On Friday he pled guilty to intoxication manslaughter charges and was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the 187th District Court.

How do I know that the bolts weren't tightened enough when they came loose. Because I have never seen one come loose when I knew it was tightened right. Deduction. Plus it's not just my experience I am relying on but a number of other professionals.
Any professional that plays by the book 100% of the time is not being professional. The book is a great source of info but it is far from perfect. BMW is not a religion. Even religious zealots pick and choose what parts of the bible they are going to follow. A good mechanical zealot SHOULD do the same thing out of any manual. That is unless he finds one written by god.
Personally, I will replace those bolts any time someone insists. Sometimes the used bolts need replacing anyway for being damaged. Other than that, all it is going to do is increase their bill but BMW knows that!
I agree with SS - The bolts don't need replacing if they're not stretched and in good shape, and they don't need loctite if torqued properly.
Simple as that!
I haven't had any come loose - and that's even from before the days I was able to torque them and found out the specified torque was more than I previously thought. Up till then I used a long ten mm box wrench and applied enough force to feel really tight to me. But the specified torque was even higher than what seemed reasonable to me. Maybe it made a difference the threads weren't totally clean - in which case, any oil will reduce the required torque value. So maybe I was getting them to the proper torque.
But the point is that they don't come loose when properly torqued.
And to aid understanding here - the reason for replacing bolts is that either the head can shear off or the threads stretch. Frankly, I've never even heard of a head shearing off, so that's not an issue. And the threads stretching? That's easy enough to check - if the bolt threads in by hand, it's not stretched.

Crossover with other franchises?

The problem with crossovers between SF/fantasy universes, even aside from licensing issues, is that they can really only work as "imaginary stories."
stories basically imaginary?
That's what Alan Moore said...
("Imaginary story" was the term used by DC Comics in the '50s through the '70s for out-of-continuity stories about situations that weren't intended to be "real" within the series' main continuity, like Superman dying or getting married -- the same sort of thing Marvel did in
What If...?
The greatest "imaginary story" was "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" by Alan Moore, which came out at the time that DC's whole continuity was being rebooted and was basically the final adventure of the Bronze Age or "pre-Crisis" Superman. Moore's narration contained the classic line, "This is an imaginary story... but aren't they all?")
Agreed. That's why I NEVER want to see a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover. I can only enjoy Star Wars as a strict fantasy; there isn't a shred of actual SCIENCE in it anywhere. Some argue the same is true of Star Trek, but I disagree. Some of the Star Trek episodes have been inspired by real science, and some of them have gone on to inspire future real science. And at least Star Trek never used the word "parsec" as a unit of time!
Star Trek
was meant to be science fiction in the vein of the prose works of the '50s and '60s.
Star Wars
was meant to be "space fantasy" in the vein of
Flash Gordon
John Carter of Mars
. ST hasn't always lived up to its aspirations of credibility, but SW has never had any to begin with, being essentially a sword-and-sorcery epic dressed up with space-opera trappings.
The only way I could even begin to make my Sliders/Xena crossover make sense was to have an AU where Alexander the Great didn't die young, but made it all the way across Asia and over to North America. And since the time setting of Xena skips around from biblical to current year with NO attempt to explain the discrepancy, I figured I didn't need to worry too much about the Xenaverse showing up in modern-day California instead of ancient Greece.
Well, as long as you're treating the
universe as the "home" universe, you can accommodate just about anything, since those shows embraced their origins in mythology and folklore and often basically admitted that they were pure fiction, playing fast and loose with reality and blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
Although you could borrow the conceit from the
episode "The Guardian" that time flows at different rates on some worlds, so that even though it's technically the present, events on that world might be very far behind where they are on "our" Earth.
Conversely, you could play off the
clip shows that had clones or reincarnations of the main characters existing in the present day (in fact, in a present day where
is a TV show).
So you can combine unlikely SF universes if you anticipate the problems and come up with a creative, in-universe solution...
Yeah, it helps gloss over the historical differences if you go the alternate-universes route, although it's harder to use that to justify the whole geography and alien population of the galaxy being completely different (I don't remember there being any Vulcans or Klingons in the universe of Arrakis), let alone the laws of physics being different. Ideally I'd prefer a case where you can just do an honest crossover and treat shows as part of the same reality and timeline. But that's very hard to find in science fiction.

Perfect any time of day cleanser for me. (im sensitive, combo and acne prone) it feels soothing, cleans well and is non-drying. Does not help dry out acne, but definitely is calming and does not aggravate my acne or sensitive skin either. I will definitely re-purchase this! Im also using the seaweed cleansing soap, and I like the enzyme gel better for my combo skin.
UPDATE: A few months later and I cant live without this cleanser, its perfect. Leaves me feeling clean and does not overdry my skin. I have since purchased another bottle. I have also used this on my body with great results.

I thought this was a good, basic cleanser. It washed off a day's worth of makeup, mascara, foundation, sunscreen, etc. using warm water and a wash cloth. I didn't see any remarkable transformation, i.e. improvement in my hyperpigmentation, reduction in my fine lines and wrinkles, etc. After washing with this product, my skin felt soft and comfortable, not tight or itchy or burning. Pretty good for sensitive skin.

I can honestly say that this product saved my skin. Last year I was breaking out for the first time in my life from stress caused by a 20-unit semester plus two jobs (probably not the smartest decision I ever made). I'd never had skin problems before and had no idea where to start repairing the damage. After several drugstore products - Neutrogena, Cetaphil, etc. - didn't work, I sent away for the Mario Badescu sample packet, which contained a small vial of this cleanser. LIterally, after four days of using this in conjunction with Mario Badescu's Glycolic Foaming Cleanser and my regular moisturizer, my skin was completely calm. We all know that breakouts aren't the worst thing in the world compared to REAL life problems, but everyone can relate to how icky it feels to have blemishes on the face you present to people every day. It was such a relief to be free of that worry!
This is a gel cleanser, but it's slightly creamy and a little thicker. It's a very thorough cleanser but doesn't strip your skin and leaves your face feeling soft. The fruit enzymes that help prevent acne by polishing away dead skin are very mild, and I've never had a problem with irritation. This is a great everyday cleanser - it does what it's supposed to do, and it does it exceptionally well. I'm not sure I would recommend it for very oily or breakout-prone complexions, which might need a stronger formula, but for slightly oily, normal, dry, and combo skin, the Enzyme Cleansing Gel is a godsend.
The smell is lightly floral, nothing exceptional but not offensive either. Price is $12 for 8 oz. or $20 for 20 oz. My eight oz. bottle lasted a year since so little product is needed. I love Mario Badescu packaging because it's simple and aesthetically pleasing but still functional.

I've never been one to get overly excited about a cleanser. Philosophy's Purity was always a favorite for that deep-clean feel, but for the most part I've always used basic cleansers I've picked up at the grocery store (generally the Aveeno line, though I've tried several brands). It never would have occurred to me to purchase this, but I received a small bottle as a gift with purchase when I decided to try Mario Badescu's acne products. This ended up being my favorite thing about my order - not because the acne products didn't work as I'd hoped, but because once I started using this cleanser, I no longer needed them. It keeps my skin clean, clear, and fresh, and it's been gentle enough to use with my Clarisonic Mia. I've since purchased the full size bottle, and after several months, I'm still pleased with it. Packaging is very basic but functional - clear plastic bottle that lets you see how much is left and dispense as much (or as little!) product as you like, nothing fancy or upscale to add to the price. It's a bit more expensive than drugstore options, but it's lasted so much longer that overall I've saved money... even moreso when I figure in all the products I no longer need. I definitely think this one is worth trying.

I had a sample of this forever before I ended up using it, and I loved it right off the bat so I went out and bought the huge 16oz container for about $20, which is a fantastic deal. The smell, oddly enough, reminds me of the conditioner my mother always used so it's comforting to me. (It smells a bit like grapefruit rind.) I like that it doesn't lather up and dry my skin out, I find it cleanses very well for being just a gel. I like to leave it on for a minute or two so that the AHAs can really do their job. I have strayed from this a few times but ended up with very irritated skin an come right back. I'm willing to say that this is my HG face wash! The 16oz bottle will last me forever, about 1/6th of it is gone with two people using it twice a day for four months but I definitely will re-purchase when I run out.
EDIT: I stopped using this and realized it was what was causing my super stripped/irritated skin. No wonder I couldn't even touch my forehead, I switched to Dove Beauty Bar for sensitive skin and my skin is already much less irritated.

I have been using this cleanser for over a year now. I used to use acne cleansers as I broke out occasionally around that time of the month, but decided to start using this. It's not the best at removing makeup, and takes a lot of scrubbing because it doesn't lather, but it's really an excellent cleanser that doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped or too red right afterward. It has a gentle exfoliating effect that leaves my skin incredibly smooth.

This broke me out/made my skin irritated.
I've been breaking out for almost a month now. The first two weeks, I just did my normal routine. Cetaphil/Clarisonic, witch hazel toner, and moisturize with coconut oil, which made my skin a little better. Starting the third week, I decided to try out this cleanser since I got a sample of it from doing their questionaire/survey a while back. Since I started using this, I didn't notice much change to my skin, except that my chin got more oily and there's more white heads. And just yesterday morning, I was washing my face with this cleanser, and noticed how red my face became after washing it off, and I noticed that I was getting tiny red bumps on my temples and between my brows. So I decided not to use this last night and went back to my old routine, and this morning, my skin looked A LOT better, it was no longer red and the bumps are going down.
Now I have a full 16oz. of this cleanser sitting in the cabinet. *sigh* I ended up buying a full size bottle before finishing my sample because it was so cheap on Ebay. This sucks.

A bit disappointed with this one. It works as a basic cleanser but isn't anything special. Dries out my face a bit. Won't be repurchasing.

What can I say? I have used this cleanser since I was 18 and I'm now 27. I only ever stray to a sulfur wash sometimes. I love the low amount of ingredients, no foaming, non irritating, and just simple. I use rx products so anything to lighten up what i'm already doing. I have to make sure not to use this in the cold weather, otherwise this cleanser is HG for me. update 9/13/11 I still use this. Even after a 9 month trek of tazorac cream. I also use a milky cleanser, but this is still a staple. Update 11/23/11 My skin has completely rejected this cleanser now. I'm using it as a shave cream and body wash now. I had a really big bottle and gave the rest to a friend, it works great for her!

I am really diggin this cleanser, super gentle non foaming and removes makeup like nobodies business without irritation (even mascara, not sure about waterproof though). It also has minimal ingredients and no surfectants to dry skin. Smell is hard to describe but I find it pretty faint and non-offensive in my opinion. Will certainly buy again

"We decided to get out of the City for a NYE getaway and were very pleased with how accommodating and friendly the owner was and that everything was clean, beautiful and very inviting. The cottage itself is very cozy (with a wood burning stove) and very comfortable, with a large and well stocked kitchen! The view of the lake (although frozen during our stay) and the vista were picturesque - we look forward to returning during the summer or fall when we can truly appreciate the lake and vista! We definitely recommend it!"Guest: Raff & Viv Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 6, 2015View listing

Opened as a produce stand along I–15 in 1974, Tom's Farms has grown to include a locally popular hamburger stand, a furniture showroom, and a sweets shop. You can still buy produce here, but the big draw is various weekend attractions for the kiddies: tractor driving, Tom's mining company, a petting zoo, a children's train, a pony ride, free magic shows, face painting, and an old-style carousel. Most cost a modest fee. Of interest for adults is the wine-and-cheese shop, which has more than 600 varieties of wine, including some from the nearby Temecula Valley.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Around The Rink With Stan

Comments (0)
from Stan Fischler at the Hockey Journal,
*David Nonis is the under-heralded GM who rates a retroactive ovation for picking Alain Vigneault off the coaching scrapheap and handing him the Canucks. Brian Burke's protégé, Nonis speaks with fewer decibel counts than his mentor but he sure is piling up the point
*Ales (Big Talent, Little Drive) Hemsky and Fernando (Overpaid) Pisani were supposed to take the Oilers a long way this year. So, who gets the blame – our beloved underachievers or coach Craig (Run Out Of Quotes) MacTavish?

Yes, we went and have gone back home.
Thanks for everyone, we had a great time in Vancouver
or should i say Hong-couver. I have not seen so many Asians since I left Hong Kong in my teenager year. I don't feel like a minority in Richmond.....hahaha.
Despite the weather was cloudy and wet except for one day, Vancouver/Richmond and Victoria are so beautiful. The water is so clear. Now I know why i don't like Chesapeake bay that much. I love the city, the people and their way of life. But then I have been in most of Canadian cities, from Edmonton to Halifax. There is not a Canadian cities that I don't like.
On our first day, I went to Finn Slough and Steveston. I spent lot of the time taking pictures and reading posted note at Finn Slough. It was so fascinating and a photographer paradise.
We rented a VW golf, and drove through many coastal roads and stopping everywhere that we found interesting, enjoy seeing different housing construction to the insignificance mailbox design. ....
All I can say is: We will be back. In fact we are checking out some fights in late March and Early April. It is not bad, $400 RT from Philly for now. But from Baltimore or NYC it is selling like $500 to $600. Not sure why?
Oh yeah, one thing I don't like is the water is too damn cold. I need a dry suit.

One of four visual aids used by Shuttle Deputy Program Manager Wayne Hale during an August 4 press conference that dealt with important tests in wind tunnels at NASA's Ames Research Center. Engineers simulated the conditions of the Space Shuttle Discovery for a disrupted thermal blanket near the commander's window on the forward cabin of the spacecraft. Eventually it was decided that no additonal spacewalk work needed to be performed to fix the blanket.

We are starting to get down to the wire, and all these people racing their tires off is showing it... alright, so that might have been because the track was newly paved, but it still really shook up the standings, oh and by the way, the correct bonus was 1... that's right, only Dale Earnhardt, because he didn't race, got the point for people, but other than that this track shook up the standings in more ways than one. Now lets see how the standings are after week 1:
1.) Floridawhite- 69 (+7) The only one to avoid the mess that was Greg Biffle.)
Roushfenwayguy (GHOST PICKS)- 58 (+5)
3.) Bradman- 54 (+1)
4.) Fsu1dogs- 40 (+2) (Don't worry, you are not alone)
So the standings are starting to show some difference, with many picking Biffle, Mark Martin, or both... although Mark looked really good. Anyways, now we will see if Martinsville is any more predictable, and the battle plans people have for this track. Is it worth it to burn both the good drivers of Jimmie/Denny now, or save them? I know one thing though, only Florida can pick Greg Biffle.
+2 Handicap: 13th-20th
Kyle Busch
Brian Vickers (new to handicap list, avg. finish puts him at 14th)
Mark Martin (new to handicap list, avg. finish puts him at 15th)
Ryan Newman
Carl Edwards
Paul Menard
Joey Logano
Marcos Ambrose
+4 Handicap: 21st- 28th
Jeff Burton
Jamie McMurray
Aric Almirola
Juan Pablo Montoya
Regan Smith
Bobby LaBonte
Kurt Busch
David Gilliland (+6 to +4 handicap
+6 Handicap: 29th- 35th
David Ragan (+4 to +6 handicap)
Travis Kvapil
Casey Mears
David Reutimann (32nd by avg finish)
Landon Cassill
Dave Blaney
Sam Hornish Jr.
+8 handicap: Anyone Below 35th
The bonus for this week, well this will be fun since we are at Martinsville, guess how many drivers finish on the lead lap. +5 for the exact amount, +3 if you are 1-3 off, +2 for 4-6 off, +1 for 7-10 off, nada for any more than that. So as long as people get lapped, I'm guessing everyone should get at least 1 point.
I still don't want to burn Jimmie or Denny just yet, but I would be stupid not to go with a Hendrick driver not named Kasey Kahne, so I will go with Jeff Gordon. I will also side with Clint Bowyer, as he is a pretty safe bet to reach a top 10 here, and he is fourth in the chase for now.
(Drivers crossed out indicate drivers you can no longer use.)
(AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICKS, drivers will be named that one person or nobody can use, so make sure to check the bottom as well as next to your name to know who you can't pick.)
Roushfenwayguy (GHOST PICKS)- Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer (Bonus=18) Brad Keselowski
Fsu1dogs-Mark Martin
Floridawhite- Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin
ILL55INI- Clint Bowyer
Bradman-Jimmie Johnson
Only Floridawhite can choose Greg Biffle.

1992-08-29 James Toney w pts 12 Mike McCallum, Sparks Convention Centre, Reno, Nevada, USA - IBF
1992-08-29 James Toney w pts 12 Mike McCallum, Sparks Convention Centre, Reno, Nevada, USA - IBF. Referee: Joe Cortez. Scorecards: 118-110, 117-110, 114-114. With the champion's body punches setting the tone of the fight by the sixth McCallum (158) had begun to slow. He was still not out of it, but at this stage Toney (158¾) was landing faster, heavier shots. McCallum was right back in the mix in the eighth when keeping up the pressure and making Toney fight all the way. Despite being tired, McCallum kept up the work-rate during the last three rounds, but Toney fought back hard to maintain his lead.
Having had difficulty making the weight, Toney relinquished the IBF version of the title on becoming that body's super middleweight champion in February 1993. To fill the void the IBF matched Roy Jones, who was unbeaten in 21 contests (only one going the distance), against the USBA champion, Bernard Hopkins. After Hopkins lost his first pro fight he had then gone on to win his next 22.

Clad in an all-green Knicks uniform with green shoes, the 5-foot-9 Robinson springboarded over the 6-foot-11 Howard to jam.

Analysis: Puzzled Sam Young eagerly awaits chance with Memphis Grizzlies
Guard stuck on bench, but his scoring may be needed
PHOENIX -- After the Grizzlies' road loss against the Los Angeles Clippers became official Thursday, Sam Young did what's become a regular routine this season.
He was the first to clean up and exit the locker room. Young didn't linger. The third-year forward didn't play. Young is out of the team's regular rotation and buried on the end of the bench -- a development that is curious to him and Grizzlies fans.
"I guess coach has new guys and he's trying to see what they've got," Young said, referring to Griz coach Lionel Hollins. "I'm being sacrificed for it, but it's part of the game, part of the business."
Young's response is exactly the professional attitude Hollins expects from his players. Sometimes injuries determine the rotation but most times it's simply the coach's prerogative. Hollins prefers to use swingman Quincy Pondexter over Young, believing that Pondexter is a better defender and rebounder, and an adequate scorer behind starting small forward Rudy Gay.
That means Young has mostly accumulated 10.8 minutes per game during mop-up duty.
But the Grizzlies have lost two straight games going into their meeting tonight with the Phoenix Suns. The last time the Griz lost consecutive games, Hollins flipped the backup point guard spot, with Josh Selby supplanting Jeremy Pargo.
Another change could be in order with the need for more scoring punch in reserve. Memphis' bench hasn't had a player other than O.J. Mayo with double-digit scoring in the past nine games.
If there's anything Young has proven in his time with the Griz, it's that he can put the ball in the hoop. Young's clear edge over Pondexter is that he's a more active and versatile scorer.
"In the three years I've been here, I've been a contributor. I've been part of this team's success," Young said. "What happened? I don't understand. You just try to stay professional. Coach tells me to keep my head up and stay ready. But I felt like I was coming into this season based off what I did last season. Last year was incredible."
Last year also started out much like this season for Young. He didn't play much at all during the first quarter of the 2010-11 season. Young then stepped in and started for the Griz after Gay suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. He played within himself, was largely effective on both ends of the floor and the Griz didn't skip a beat.
But Hollins grew frustrated with Young during training camp, believing that Young returned this season committed only to scoring. Hollins is asking of Young the same that he's demanding from Gay: Affect the game in other ways than just scoring.
Young insists he understands. Young said he proved last season that he can deliver what Hollins wants.
"It's tough. This is by far one of the toughest situations you can deal with in basketball," Young said. "A lot of people say it's being injured. But its tough when you feel like you have a place and that you know where you stand, and then you realize you don't."
Young doesn't come off as angry. He isn't growing bitter by the box score that reads "DNP - Coach's Decision" next to his name. Young hasn't been a bad teammate nor has he suddenly become difficult to coach.
Young isn't any less confident, either.
The irony is that its Young's unflappable nature that the coaches love about him. No matter how great or little his playing time or how harsh the discipline is in practice, Young's spirit is never broken and he performs when called upon.
"He's a self-motivated player," Gay said. "He's going to play like he's been playing the whole time. That's because he works. He's always in the gym trying to get better."
Off the court, Young also has one of the team's most creative minds. He's a skilled pianist and talented poet. So it should come as no surprise at how Young summed up his predicament.
"I just feel like -- and I'm stealing this from DeJuan Blair (a former teammate at Pittsburgh) -- I might not be your favorite color, but you'll need me to finish your picture," he said. "There will be a time when my talent is needed."

The People's Movement against Nuclear Energysays several districts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala are not equipped to handle any accidentat the Koodankulam nuclear power plant.
The People's Movement against Nuclear Energy alleged here on Wednesday that the district administrations in Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari (in Tamil Nadu) and Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha (in Kerala) were not equipped to cope with any accident at the Koodankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu.
Coordinator of the movement S.P. Udayakumar and leaders of various member organisations told reporters that the authorities had failed to conduct safety drills or share evacuation plans with the residents of the seven districts that would be affected in the event of an accident. "They maintain that no accident will happen at the Koodankulam nuclear power plant. Even the Environmental Impact Assessment report, safety analysis report and site evaluation study have not been revealed to the public in the two States."
Mr. Udayakumar said that a series of mild tremors in the neighbourhood of the nuclear plant and other places in the Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli districts in the recent past had created panic among the people. "There has been no effort to alleviate their fears."
Violations alleged
He alleged that the authorities of the plant were violating the prescribed safety regulations in transport of radioactive material. "Nuclear fuel rods and uranium are brought to the Thiruvananthapuram airport like ordinary cargo and transported to Koodankulam by road without any warning or advance information to the people on the movement of radioactive material."
Mr. Udayakumar said India was becoming a dumping ground for obsolete nuclear technology peddled by other nations. "The U.S. has not built a nuclear power plant for the last 30 years while Russia stopped making new nuclear power plants since the Chernobyl accident. They are now trying to dump their technology on developing nations."
State president of the Kerala Swathantra Matsya Thozhilali Federation (KSMTF) T. Peter said the Koodankulam nuclear power complex would pollute the near-shore waters, leading to the mass migration of fish.
This, he said, would pose a new threat to the traditional fishermen community, already reeling under several crises. Mr. Peter said the coastal communities were living in fear of diseases caused by radioactive contamination.
"The Three Mile Island accident in the U.S. and the Chernobyl accident in the Ukraine are not just a memory but a living reality for people suffering from various health problems and birth disorders," Mr. Udayakumar said.
The People's Movement against Nuclear Energy will take out a rally in New Delhi on Gandhi Jayanthi to voice protest against the power plant.

Singapore votes as ruling party faces tough test
SINGAPORE Singapore's ruling party faced its toughest challenge since independence in 1965 as voters in the Southeast Asian city-state went to the polls Saturday for parliamentary elections.
Leaders from the ruling People's Action Party spent the last days of the nine-day official campaign apologizing for policy mistakes and perceived arrogance amid growing voter discontent over soaring housing costs and a surge of foreign workers.
"There are immediate problems on everyone's minds, like the cost of living and housing," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a televised speech late Friday. "The PAP is dealing with them."
Voting was due to end at 8 p.m. (1200 GMT), and initial results were expected to be announced a few hours later.
The PAP was expected to win a dominant majority of 87 seats and around 60 percent of the overall vote - results that would be considered great for most of the world's parties but a potential blow for Singapore's political establishment, which has enjoyed unrivaled power for five decades.
Opposition parties, bolstered by a crop of well-educated first-time candidates, have attracted up to 40,000 people at rallies during the last week, the biggest such crowds analysts can remember.
"In any government, there should be a strong alternative voice," said Chia Teck Shin, a 37-year-old public relations executive who volunteered during the campaign for the Singapore Democratic Party. "It can't be that the ruling party is the only deciding factor."
The opposition has never had more than four members of parliament and had just two in the last congress, but six parties are contesting the PAP in a record 82 seats - almost twice as many as the previous election in 2006. In some past elections, the opposition has failed to contest a majority of seats, ceding victory to the PAP even before the vote.
A survey by Australia's UMR Research showed the PAP was likely to win 61 percent of the votes, down from 67 percent in 2006. UMR polled 522 Singaporeans from May 3 to 5, and the online survey had a margin of error of 3.6 percent. UMR did not poll individual district races or estimate how many seats each party would win.
The PAP has traditionally campaigned on its record of strong economic growth and an efficient and corruption-free bureaucracy. However, this time the PAP has appeared to have been caught off-guard by the level of resentment of middle- and working-class voters who in recent years have seen stagnant wages amid higher living costs, and feel the government has not been responsive enough.
Lee apologized earlier this week for government mistakes, such as failing to build enough public housing and not expanding the transportation network to accommodate a large increase of foreign workers. Housing prices on the island are up about 70 percent since 2006.
Singaporeans will be closely watching the results of Aljunied district, where the Workers Party fielded its strongest five-candidate team to take on the PAP, which is led there by Foreign Minister George Yeo.
"I know many of us think the government is arrogant and high-handed," Yeo said in a video posted on his Facebook page. "I will listen to what you have to say."
