The costume e-retailer takes the long view, even during peak season.
About a week ago Dan Haight, CEO of BuySeasons Inc., took me on a tour of the company's bustling HQ and distribution center to show me how an e-retailer ramps up operations for peak sales season. For a majority of online retailers, that's Q4, covering the winter holidays, but for BuySeasons, where the largest e-retail site is BuyCostumes.com, it's the run-up to Halloween.
Haight told me that during the rest of the year, the company fulfills an average of 5,000 to 10,000 orders each day across its family of e-retail sites. The day I was there, the company's was on track to ship 50,000 orders. "This is our Christmas," Haight says. There was the obvious bustle in the warehouse, with forklifts replenishing boxes of stock, pickers zipping around on modified scooters and sealed boxes being packed Jenga-style into waiting tractor trailers. The e-retailer adds nearly 2,000 seasonal employees and was vetting more the day I was there. In the offices, most of the company's nearly 300 customer service seats were filled with agents, a crew of tech guys monitored site performance from a pseudo-war room and the site's buyers were evaluating racks of costume samples for inclusion in next year's inventory.
While a 900% increase in order activity in such a condensed period of time might seem overwhelming and sometimes is, Haight told me that the company prepares all year for this season, and is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiencies. He and chief operating officer Terry Rowinski proudly showed off their latest warehouse upgrade, an automatic package scanner and sorter that speedily routes packages to the right shipping trailer, which the e-retailer installed during the last year. The company also added 110,000 more square feet to its warehouse this summer and expanded the space allotted to its custom-made business. The e-retailer prints banners (about 800 a day) and party goods emblazoned with personal messages and pictures consumers upload to BuySeason's party-themed sites, CelebrateExpress.com, BirthdayExpress.com and 1stwishes.com, and Haight says he's expecting that business to quickly expand. BuySeason's will also be implementing a new warehouse management system soon.
I speak with a lot of e-retailers during the holiday season—or at least when they can pause a second to answer their phones—and the prevailing sentiment I hear is that during Q4 everything is whittled down to the essentials of taking and fulfilling orders. They'll get back to planning and executing on strategy come January. The impression I left BuySeasons with is that everything it does is in pursuit of its long-term strategic goals, at all times of year. Yes, there's much more activity and people about in peak season, but there's a roadmap this company is following and it's not taking any breaks. E-retailers, can you say the same come December?

Item, packaging and service excellent.
It is ok but can be a bit hard to use but is good for "small" hands. does not work overley well on potatoes like it claims
A novelty item that really works - efficiently! Also terrific for making guacamole.
Nifty little masher great not just for eggs but making dips etc.
A novelty item that really works! Makes mashing eggs a pleasure.
I searched many shops looking for this gadget for a friend. I had bought one some years ago from Debenhams. I didn't think to look on the internet at first. When I eventually tracked it down I decided to buy a spare one for me( in case mine ever broke) one for the friend and 1 each for my two grandchildren for when they are old enough to want them. It is something so simple that I would hate to be without.
An essential tool in the kitchen. Just don't know how we managed without it!
We like egg-mayonaise butties and what finer instrument for mashing your boiled eggs could you imagine? Several friends have laughed and turned their noses up at our masher but not for long and most are now proud owners of their own. (Mostly 'cos we gave them one!) Don't delay get your own today.
Delivered quickly despite lead up to Christmas and snow
Fantastic product, what innovation, my friend loved this when i gave it to her at Christmas, she is a big fan of an egg sandwich so was an eggcellent gift!!! i will buy one for myself too.

In any human cell, the autosomes are required in two copies. It is only the sex chromosomes that work as a single copy. Especially, Y chromosome in males that have only single copy is smaller than the X chromosome. There are many sex specific genes that are present in the Y chromosomes which specifically have expressions in testis or during the spermatogenesis.
There are some specific sequences called as palindromic sequences in the Y chromosomes, along with inverted repeats and non-tandem direct repeats. These repetitive sequences have a distinct property of self repair. However, even after this ability the Y chromosome is very vunerable to damages caused by many mechanisms. Some of these mechanisms are as follows:
• Reciprocal recombination: This is a process of crossing over between the two sister chromatids of the same Y chromosome.
• Deletion: The recombination may lead to deletion of some important DNA sequences attributing to useful genes.
• Inversion: The shuffling of the DNA sequences can lead to inverted non functional genes.
• Double centromeres: Due to the recombination of the chromatids at the palindromic regions may lead to production of a chromosome with two centromeres.
As mentioned above, the Y chromosome with two centromeres is produced as a result of recombination between the palindromic sequences of sister chromatids. This kind of chromosome is called as isodicentric chromosome. Such a chromosome has a greater risk of damage in the following ways if the distance between them is more:
• If the centromeres are on the same sister chromatid, they would be moved to a single pole during mitosis or meiosis. This would snap them apart during the process of segregation and the chromosome would lead to complete damage.
• If the centromeres are present apart on two distinct arms, there may be duplication at one arm and deletion at other. Such a kind of damage to the genes would lead to Turner's syndrome or even infertility.
• The chances of mutations also increase when the centromeres are apart and this would damage more number of genes than in normal case.
In all other chromosomal pairs in humans that are autosomes, two copies of a chromosome are present. Therefore, the recombination takes place on the sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. They do not have palindromic sequences. On the other hand, the Y chromosome is the only chromosome with so many repetitive palindromic sequences that leads to the pairing within the same sister chromatids leading to the process of accumulation of two centromeres on one Y chromosome. This is the reason that such a phenomenon can be only studies in the sex chromosome.

PPG Industries recently announced a restructuring plan that is expected to result in approximately $100 million in pretax annual cost savings for the company. The restructuring initiative is part of PPG's global transformation and the integration of its acquisition of SigmaKalon, completed January 2. As part of the initiative, several PPG manufacturing units and facilities in the U.S., Canada and Europe will be impacted.
"The actions we are taking will streamline our worldwide manufacturing footprint and staffing levels following our recent acquisitions, the most notable of which is SigmaKalon," said Charles E. Bunch, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. "Elements of this initiative are part of our plan to achieve the cost synergies we set in acquiring SigmaKalon. We will also adjust our cost structure and better align it with geographic changes in our customer base, enabling us to maintain our competitive strengths in the end markets in which we participate."
As part of the restructuring, PPG will close several coatings manufacturing facilities, including those in Clarkson, Ontario, Canada, and Geldermalsen, Netherlands, which are anticipated to close in the second and third quarters 2009, respectively. The Geldermalsen closure will be implemented following consultation with the applicable works council. Other staffing reductions will occur in PPG's coatings businesses in North America and Europe.
PPG also will close its Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, glass manufacturing facility in early 2009 and will idle one float glass production line at its Mt. Zion, Ill., facility in the second quarter next year. Other actions will include writing off idle production assets in PPG's fiber glass and chemicals businesses.
A pretax charge of approximately $160 million will be recorded in the company's third quarter 2008 financial results. In addition, actions related to the integration of the SigmaKalon businesses have a cost of approximately $25 million and will result in an increase in goodwill. The combination of these actions is expected to result in pretax cost savings at an annual run-rate of about $100 million by the end of 2009. The cash outlay for these actions is expected to total approximately $100 million.
The company also will incur additional expenses of approximately $15 million directly associated with the restructuring actions but, based on U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, these costs will be charged to expense as incurred and therefore are not part of a restructuring reserve. The company expects to incur these additional related expenses in the second half of 2009.
Bunch said PPG continues to evaluate opportunities to strengthen its global businesses, which may result in additional restructuring actions and related cost savings in 2009. The company's website is located at www.ppg.com.

Under Georgia's workers' compensation law, your employer gets to direct where you get medical care if your employer provides you with a valid "posted panel of physicians." Not surprisingly, posted panel doctors sometimes bring a pro-employer bias to their treatment of you. I regularly see – and you have no doubt heard stories about – cases in which a seriously injured man or woman is given a regular duty return to work, only to end up in surgery a few weeks later.
In 1990, the Georgia legislature gave injured workers an important new right, the "claimant's IME (independent medical exam). Under this law, an injured worker can request an independent medical examination with a doctor of his choosing, paid for by the employer's insurance company.

New ISP Suggestions

Well, as I have now restored my router to a virtually default state, got rid of junk that was hogging bandwidth, I thought I would sit back and have a look at the O/S I will be using from Thursday:
But my bandwidth is frustratingly slow.....I have concluded that after years of refusing to let people drill holes in my home, attempt to sell me TV packages I don't want etc. I am going to have to find a new high speed ISP
I have only 2 options that I am aware of in my area. Virgin or BT.
I don't like either of them, but copper wire is just not going to work for me anymore.
I need to:
1) Keep my existing phone number and email address, without false promises.
2) A 20mb connection minimum
3) No TV packages or hard sell time-wasting pitches from overzealous sales people.
Any Ideas?

buteman....thanks again! It's in the fine print *not available in all areas!
They have a monopoly, which is wrong, if I wasn't so busy I might consider taking it to OFCOM, but I really am up to my neck in stuff for the next few weeks at least.
I phoned again just a moment ago, and got the same answer...."No"
The router they supply is okay, my friend has one, but it just won't work for me....NAS drives, daisy-chained HDD's all containing samples, video overlays etc. etc. I would need a far better product than they supply.
SO............If I have to bite the bullet, it won't be just yet. I am in the process of final backups of all my data prior to the imac landing tomorrow. It's pretty much an all day job, fire and forget, then double / treble check that everything is backed up in 3 locations!
I still have the option of using my friends' connection, and he does not mind....I look after all his IT kit without charge.

Ignore that (You can normally keep your phone number when you move home, so long as you're staying in the same local area.)
That was for moving house if you were already a virgin customer.
Not sure if you open a Windows Live mail account whether you can keep your old email address with that.
I use it for 3 Windows mail accounts and my Virginmedia e-mail account.

If your friend is with VM and you can use his wireless signal that would save you a lot of expense providing that you get a good signal.
I take it he lives next door or am I on the wrong track.

Well I have been down the various routes of email using my ISP, then from my own (now gone) domain name and finally ended up with GMail which I actually quite enjoy. So far it has not let me down so fingers crossed.

My house is part network, part recording studio, and somewhere, there is a bed! It's a pretty complex setup, which I will be re- building around the new iMac over the weekend.
A high performance non ISP router is essential for making everything talk to everything else!
Gmail might be a temp. Solution, but long term, I may have to have VM as much as I don't want to. I can sell the router I have now, it's brand new!

GMail is very good, and pretty reliable.
I've got it picking up emails from two other accounts, and I even have the option of send mail as if it was from the other account (does that make sense)
I've been using GMail pretty much since it set up around 2004, and only had a couple of major outages since then, and no mail lost. The junk mail handling is very good, and if you mark an email as spam it sometimes offers to email the unsubscribe address automatically.
Gmail has full POP3 access, so you can collect email in most clients, and this has the bonus that if you leave the mail on the server you've got a backup. Currently you get 7.6gb of mail storage. The double bonus of using the POP3 access is that you do not get to see the text ads down the side of the page, but I never look at these anyway.
Regarding ISP, have you used the exchange checker on Sam Knows? I live in a pretty rural part of Lancashire and get 10.9mbps using Talk Talk.

Check out this video I did for the Ranger blog! Head over there to see pictures of the finished background.
Last week I was creating watery backgrounds in my journal, and I thought you'd like to see the process. I grabbed the camera and filmed this little video. I hope you enjoy it and try the technique.
Howdy doody my friends!
I think I am still in survival mode...barely holding on, yet again. Seems to be the way life is now, doesn't it? I have two whole weeks at home now, wow, luxury! I do have a big deadline to hit in the next couple of days, though. So no rest for the weary. I have done some journaling and I will photograph and post it over the next few weeks. Pinky swear.
Check it out here and come art with me in Santa Ana!
In May, find me at: Betty's Creative Studio in Greensboro, North Carolina; Dorothy's Stamps-n-Scraps in Boiling Springs, North Carolina; The Occasional Artist in Glendale, AZ; and Papercraft Clubhouse in Westbrook, CT.
In June, find me at: Clipper Street Scrapbooking in Langley, Vancouver, Canada; and Art Journaling Live at GASC in Arlington, Texas.
In July, find me at: Ephemera Paducah in Paducah, KY; Ink Paper Rubber in Overland Park KS; Scrapbook Island in Los Gatos, CA; and Studio CrescenDoh in Santa, Ana, CA.
Almost all of those stores have already announced classes, and the ones that haven't will likely announce soon. The best way to find out about classes it to get on the mailing lists for the stores, check their websites regularly, and also join their Facebook pages. Come and make art with me! I consider it one of my life's greatest privileges to make art with you. I really do.
Today I show you one of the uses for glazing medium.
You can mix it 1 part paint to 10 parts medium if you want just a light tinted glaze to put it over your work. Here I mixed it about half in half so I would have lots of pigment and slower drying time.

I still pinch myself every day that I have the wonderful opportunity to be a signature designer with Ranger. They are amazing.
Look at this amazing pile of Fine Line Tip Applicators!
Dina Wakley Media labels...
Dina Wakley Media Week means that every day this week, I will share with you a little video that has tips, tricks, and techniques using my new Dina Wakley Media products that came out at the January CHA show.
Yesterday's video was Introduction to the Fine Line Tip Applicator.
Today's is Doodling with the Fine Line Tip Applicator.
Note: I get asked all the time where you can buy my stuff. The BEST place to buy it is at your local scrapbooking, stamping, or mixed-media arts store! Find one near you and give them a call. If you live far away from a store, most will happily ship to you.
All of the products from this week will be hitting stores SOON!

I had an ugly page...it was half done, part of it was torn off because it had stuck to the facing page. So I just grabbed a brush and painted a big and bold face over it. Voila, easy peasy and done. Remember done is better than perfect!
This page came to be when I was feeling like I couldn't remember how to make art any more.
Do you ever feel like that?
I think the cure for that feeling is to make. Make something. Anything. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be made. Once you start moving your hands, good things will happen. But *nothing* will happen if you don't make.
Release yourself from the need to have all of your art be good, and just make.
I've been painting a bit and making journal pages for the Back2Back retreat this weekend, and for my classes at Whim So Doodle. Excited because I'll be debuting my all new 2015 workshops! (I know there are still spots open at WSD, their link is down a post or two below).
Products used: Dylusions Journal, Dina Wakley Media gesso, brushes, acrylic paint, and stencils.
to promote my new videos and of course my books Art Journal Courage and Art Journal Freedom.
You can find all the info here! We'll show a demo and then open it up for questions.
Hi dee ho. I had a cancellation for a teaching gig in early March. I am going to use the extra time to work on some new online classes. If you have any special requests, let me know. I have several planned, though...can't wait to work on them.
And, because of the cancellation, I was able to add a couple of last-minute local classes! If you're in the area, come and make art with me.
And...don't forget I'm teaching a bunch of my NEW 2015 classes at Whim So Doodle in St. Pete at the end of this month.
To celebrate the release of my new DVDs, I'm doing a few guest blog posts over at the Cloth Paper Scissors blog. Go check out my first post, here.
Also notice the sidebar of my blog...click that to go to the NorthLight shop and use the coupon for 10% off! [Sp sorry for not having that up yesterday...I just got the coupon affiliate thing figured out this morning.] To find my products easily when you're at the shop, just put "Dina Wakley" in the search box.
Also, I have to thank Joy for this lovely comment. This is what she said:
I just watched all three previews.
First, the previews are perfect. The viewer gets a full technique instead of just some random sample of the video.
Second, the format, where you are teaching Amy and she is doing what you do, is perfect. I get to see the technique twice, which helps me see that the same technique does not always give the same result. Both your results are pleasing.
Third, Amy is a fantastic student.
Fourth, you keep creating new ways to make interesting and meaningful and beautiful art. wow.
I bought the mask and stencil video right away. I"ll be getting the other two soon. Thank you making your teaching so convenient to access : )
Joy, thanks so much for describing exactly what we were trying to achieve with the DVDs. Thank you, thank you!
Below is an example of a piece I did from my mark-making technique that I demo in the Mark Making video. It's one of my absolute FAVORITE ways of making art.
Last Fall, I flew to Cincinnati for three fun days of filming with my editor Amy Jones. We had SUCH a blast and created three DVDs that you can either purchase or download (or both!). EDITED TO ADD: sorry for confusion, the download isn't free. You can either purchase a download or purchase a physical DVD. In my haste to write the post, I wasn't clear.
Amy was my art student as we went through the material. She sits right by me and follows my instructions, asks questions, and learns along with you. She is awesome and she made hecka cool art! These DVDs are like being in class with us. You see us goof up, fix things, and go through the whole art making process.

Since I've just been trying to tread water and keep afloat (metaphorically), I haven't put a brush to paper (for myself) in ages. Today while I was working on a Ranger blog assignment (will link you up to that next month), I was waiting for some gesso to dry. I never sit and wait for paint, so I turned to my journal and roughed out this face. I love patchy layers, brushstrokes that show the hand of the artist. It's just how I love to make my art. Felt good to paint for myself, even if only for a moment.
Did you make art today?
Well, what a whirlwind! These last few weeks I've been in survival mode. We're moved into the new house and are definitely NOT settled in completely, but I know that will come with time. Our old house is still for sale (praying, praying, praying it sells soon). Things with my son's health are a bit better, but we're still having some challenges. I am grateful we're moving in the right direction, though. He is feeling and looking better. Thankful for daily improvements!
Just got back from a great weekend of teaching at Scrapbook N Memories in Harrisonville, Missouri. I have lots of teaching coming up, so be sure to check my teaching schedule to see where I will be. We will try to get it updated with the rest of the dates soon.
Often I will teach somewhere and people will comment, "I didn't know you were near me, I would have come." My schedule is always on my website, and make sure you're on the mailing lists & Facebook pages for your local stores. Facebook is weird, too...if you don't interact with a business page, updates won't show up in your feed. So, you need to go click on the pages you like regularly to see all the latest. This is true with my Art of Dina Wakley page, too.
Feb 6-8: Runaway Art & Craft Studio in Salem, OR.
Feb 20-22: Back 2 Back Art Retreat, South Florida.
Feb 25-28: Whim So Doodle, St. Pete, Florida.
I know there are still some class spots in both Salem & St. Pete, so give the stores a call and sign up!
On my to do list: more art, film little videos about my new products with tips & tricks, be better at blogging (coughcough), and MORE ART! Have a super day, everyone!
Each year, Ranger takes a product (or product line) and invites top-notch designers to create with it. The idea is to show the versatility of a line, that in different hands the same materials can look markedly different.
This year, the focus was Dina Wakley Media paints, stencils, and stamps. I got to hand-select a "dream team" of sorts. I wish I could have had more artists participate...but alas, they limited me to 23. So, without further ado, I present the wonderful artwork from this year's Ranger Designer Challenge!
I wish I had brought my good camera so I could get better pictures of these pieces. I just had to use my cellphone, so I'm sorry about the washed-out color and light glare and blur. You can see Ranger's post about the challenge HERE. Their pictures are better than mine, so be sure to visit. Also try visiting each artist's website...if they haven't posted their challenge yet (several have), then they may in the future.
Here's what the display looked like in the middle of the Ranger booth (I snagged these pics from the Ranger blog):
First up is mine:
I used a lot of my custom paint sprays (I mix my paint with some water in a mister and magic happens!) and my new masks.
Next up, Tim Holtz:
I love how Tim's is a piece of true assemblage art. He is such a master at combining objects in fascinating ways! I especially love the paint brush at the bottom. So cool, a visual feast.
Next up: Dyan Reaveley
Dyan is a master of doodling, and this piece proves that. It must have taken ages to do all that decorative writing. I love how the colors pop against the black. Love it!
Next up: Wendy Vecchi
Aargh, so sorry for the blurry pics. Do check the Ranger blog link above for better pics. Wendy's is delightful. I love how she used the birdies from Scribbly Birds. I wish you could see the dimension in the flower and leaves, it's really stunning! And how genius is the clipboard?
Next up: Tammy Tutterow
Tammy's is another piece that has lots of great dimension. She used my FAVE bee, too, from Scribbly Insects. Swoon! Love it.
Next up: Debbie Tlach
Debbie's piece is a portrait of her little kitty. I love the blue and orange (complemetary colors) and he just looks so sweet. She has really captured him well. Don't you think she could go into business creating portraits like this? So fun!
Next up: Lisa Pace
Lisa's piece has so many gorgeous layers. I love how she used the heart, both under and on the tag. So beautiful!
Next up: Traci Bautista
Traci did one of her signature portraits with my acrylic paint. I love how expressive it is, it just oozes energy and joy! So bright and cool.
Next up: May Flaum
To appreciate May's piece, you really need to be able to see it from the front and from the sides. There are sooooo many dimensional layers, it's really like a sculpture. So colorful and great!
Next up: Ronda Palazzari
Ronda's piece is an abstract work of art. Each section has interesting layers and textures. They all work together to create a whole that is really lovely.
Next up: Roben-Marie Smith
I love the narrative quality of Roben-Marie's piece (and it's so clever how she made a person with my Moon Faces stencil). You look at the piece and you can start interpreting the story, it draws you in and keeps you there. Love it.
Next up: Lorraine Bell
The analagous colors that Lorraine used in this piece give it such a calm, lovely feeling. The portraits are gorgeous and I love all the details, fab.
Next up: Mou Saha
This piece has some of my favorite things...color and texture! I love how she made the Affirmations stencil the focal point. Isn't it great? So many cool layers.
Next up: Kate Crane
I love all the little details and elements on Kate's piece (hello butterflies!). So many great pops of texture, too. Fun!
Next up: Tangie Baxter
Tangie's is another piece that you really need to be able to see from all sides. It is so textural and sculptural! I have to admit I had to reach out and touch the heart in the middle, it is like an artifact waiting to be discovered. Cool stuff.
Next up: Christy Tomlinson
Ugh, excuse my blurry pic! Christy did one of her signature girls...and get this. All of that pattern and texture is "custom painted paper" that she did herself with my acrylics. How awesome is that!! She is so sweet, love it!
Next up: Shari Carroll
I love all the layers on Shari's piece, they are luminous. She did the Mod mask in a textural way, too, so it adds such lovely dimension. So pretty, it was practically glowing!
Next up: Jim Hankins
Speaking of glowing...Jim's piece was literally glowing because it had little lights on it. How cool is that? The picture is terrible (ugh), but I wish you could see the little lights! Plus Jim's piece is sculptural, too. It has many great layers and wire and pops with color. An engineering feat!
Next up: Jennifer McGuire
How sweet is this? It is SO colorful and just looking at it makes you happy. This would be so cute in a kids' bedroom. Classic and cool.
Next up: Richele Christensen
Richele's piece is another one that literally glows...that little lantern in the box turns on. Aaah, so cool. I love the paper quilt in her background, and how her layers seem to blend so perfectly. Stunning!
Next up: Paula Cheney
Paula's piece is pastel perfection. Isn't it great how many looks you can get with my line of paint? You can bright and powerful, and you can get soft and subtle. Paula's piece is vintage pefection.
Next up: Jenny Doh
Jenny's piece is an expressive, layered painting that highlights her character FangGrrr. Here FangGrrr is playing the cello, and the word says, "Practice." I love how expressive this is, and that it is personal and meaningful...which what good art should be.
Next up: Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
Julie's piece is so graphic and cool. I was chatting with her at the show and she said she was feeling inspired by Matisse. Can you see the influence? So great, I love it!
Next up: Mystele
Mystele is such an inspiration to me. She made an entire artist's book, with many painted tags and pages. They are so stunning and moving, full of grace and emotion. Don't they exude joy? I am so in love with this piece and hope Mystele will let me buy it so it can come and live in my studio.
Don't you love the pieces? I'm in awe of how great they are.
A HUGE thank you to all of the artists who made art with the Dina Wakley Media Line. Thank you, thank, you thank you!!!
that I had a great time at CHA. I am working on a post with all of the Designer Challenge pieces (they are AMAZING), so that should go live later this week.

Next door to Italian-American stalwart Marco Polo, Enoteca on Court is a modern Italian restaurant masquerading as a wine bar. Sure, there are great Italian wines at comparatively low mark-ups (around 2.5 times retail), but the quality and the range of the food is the real lure here. From the wood oven come pizzas, roasted vegetables, the Sicilian kebabs called spiedini, and pastas in crocks, while an expansive list of antipasti includes plenty of Italian-American stuff in addition to modern Italian cooking, plus a nice selection of salumi and formaggi. The seafood salad is particularly dope, as is the margherita pizza, and the meatball parmigiano panino--how's that for straddling the Atlantic Ocean?

How to Get Rid of Dry Skin Using a Lemon
Dry, flaky, or excess scabbed skin can be easily removed using an old remedy that relies on the simple lemon.
1Cut a lemon in half.Ad
2Use one half of the lemon and rub it on the dry skin. Lemons work as astringents, which act to moisturize the skin. Make sure that you squeeze it on the dry area and get all the juice out. Sometimes it works instantly on elbows.
3Use a towel to gently dab off the lemon juice. Do not rub.Ad
We could really use your help!

- You can also use oranges.
- This will not work the first time. Use it twice a day for a week. It may clear up some the first day depending on your skin type.
- When rubbing the lemon, squeeze it and rub it like a juicer.
- Do not use if you are allergic to lemons or oranges.
- Always use a fresh lemon.
- Do not rub too hard on the skin! Treat your skin with care.

Although this product is great because it keeps Cleo's feet nice and warm and dry, I feel bad for her when she whears them! She lifts one paw up at a time and walks really strange. I am almost afraid to have her wear them because I do not want her to trip and hurt herself. I am sure it just takes a little getting used to, but I feel bad when she wears them. But, the actual product is true to what it says it does keep her dry and warm!
Pros: Keeps Cleo's feet dry and warm
Cons: She walks funny in them

Jim Cramer likes best-of-breed stocks. I have a story about this at the end of this article about the first time I met Cramer, which describes his "best of breed" strategy a bit more.
But two weeks ago on "Mad Money," he put this "best of breed" strategy into quantifiable practice when he told his viewers that "stocks that go to $80 a share in a bull market tend to go to $120, as long as the bull market keeps going."
At Stockpickr, we set up a portfolio of stocks in the $80 to $90 range that just broke out. We also filtered all of the stocks in this portfolio so it only includes profitable companies with low
Here's the full portfolio.First up is Leap Wireless (LEAP - Get Report), which is a relativity unknown international wireless company. Leap offers digital wireless services in the U.S. under the Cricket and JumpTM Mobile brands. The company offers unlimited local and U.S. long-distance service from the Cricket service area and unlimited use of multiple calling features and messaging services. Leap also has impressive growth (as per its international exposure) and its quarterly revenue growth -- which is up 46% year over year -- shows that. Leap could hit $120 as it continues to expand into more international markets. This will fuel the company's growth.

On The One True Guide To Having Curly Hair
@TaffetaDarling YESSSS I just started using DevaCurl about a month ago, and it's seriously the best thing that ever happened to my head. I can't even believe my hair can look this good (wow, that sounds like a commercial - i promise it's not). I wish my poor High School Aged self had known about it - it would have saved me from many hours of wrestling with a straightener that pretty much only resulted in a burnt-hair smell and more frizz.
On Ask a Fancy Person: Occasionless Gifts, Chemo Baldness at the Office, The "Thanks For the Birthday Wishes" Anomie
@sony_b I came to comment the same thing. I went through chemo a few years ago, and ended up being bald for almost an entire year. The only time I wore a wig was in the wedding pictures for my best friend's wedding (though I went bald for the reception) and I only wore hats in the winter when my head was cold.
I also felt like people were more comfortable around me when I was straight-up bald. I did what you're suggesting - bold lipstick and big earrings - and it seemed most people who didn't know why I was bald assumed I was bald as a fashion statement! If anyone commented on it, it was always positive.
The few times I tried to wear a scarf I had a lot of strangers approach me and give me unsolicited cancer advice/prayers, none of which happened when I went full-on bald. Go for it! It's also so, so, so much more comfortable (physically, though I understand if it's not comfortable emotionally!)
On "What do Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Sheryl Sandberg and Beyonce have in common?"
@rebecca the brave I'm the firstborn in my family (literally, my entire family - I'm the oldest cousin on both sides) and just now realized that I've only ever dated other firstborns. My partner is the oldest in his family and so were both of my college boyfriends.
This is weird, right?
On Weapons
Ugh this is making my heart race. The worst thing that's ever happened to me was my next-door neighbor trying to get into my apartment to sleep on the couch when she left her keys and phone in a cab. It was TERRIFYING especially because she was pounding on the door and jiggling the door knob without saying who it was.
The worst part by far, though, was that I tried calling 911 multiple times while I was barricaded in my bedroom and none of the calls went through. What would have happened if it had been a real break-in instead of a drunk friend?
On Friday Open Thread
@coolallison yes. I am totally doing drynuary (starting the second week, when I get back from vacation).
I stopped drinking for a couple months and felt amazing and then started up again at Thanksgiving and have been feeling crappy since then. I don't even drink a ton and it makes a huge difference.

@planforamiracle Thank you!!!! I was so nervous, I almost puked and was bright red the whole time. I also may have rehearsed with a coworker right before I went into my boss' office. I couldn't believe it worked!!

Exciting thing: I worked up the nerve to take some more initiative at work and asked my boss if I could take the lead on research for a new program that I feel passionately about (something she mentioned in passing a few months ago and I hadn't heard any more about since) and SHE SAID YES! And passed over her whole file to me and now I'm in the extreme extreme early stages of research to start an outreach program for art/music therapy at my organization. I'd been looking for a new job but now the prospect of starting a WHOLE NEW PROGRAM is making me rethink that.

@SmartCookie I come from a mole-y people and we have them removed all the time! It makes me feel squicky to think about but is always not at all big deal or painful.
On Friday Open Thread
GUYS MY AUCTION MADE ALMOST $10,000 MORE THAN MY BOSS' GOAL!!! It made $2,000 more than my goal (my boss may or may not have NO faith in my ability to do my job). It ended up making about 30% more than they did in 2012 - I started two weeks after it ended last year, so I was especially excited since it was my first year running it!
My coworkers took me out to lunch to celebrate and people kept congratulating me all day - it was the first time in a year I really felt like a useful part of my team! My boss, however, has still not acknowledged to me that the auction happened and keeps trying to give credit to my coworker (he is very kindly and stubbornly continuing to remind her that I did all the work).
I am very proud and very frustrated and trying to focus on the proud part and forget about the frustrated part.
Writing this out is making me feel all warm and excited again!!

2 roughly chopped heads of cauliflower, chopped onion, a couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper & a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes. 4~ hours on high, 6~ on low (until cauliflower is soft). Serve with salty parmesan cheese, crusty bread and dry white wine! This is what I made for dinner tonight :-)
You can also do it on the stovetop in a big pot & cook for 1~ hour. Sometimes I do 1 cauliflower & potato chunks, sometimes I add red pepper flakes or parm rinds. Its super yummy and really easy to modify...

So as some of you may know Deuce ran a pipe tobacco pass not that long ago with about 8 of us. Once it was finished he said he was going to bomb one lucky participant with the tobacco tins from the original shipment that didn't get swapped out. To be honest I completely forgot about it...until today when I found out I was that lucky participant. Just want to say it was a pleasure taking part in the pass and I really appreciate the follow up bomb!!!
Thanks Patrick!!!

We're presenting at Sound and Music's Creative Data Club tomorrow (Tuesday 12th), with the premise that data and code are the same thing, at least to the extent that what we do creatively can be described as "using data."
We're presenting at Sound and Music's Creative Data Club tomorrow (Tuesday 12th), with the premise that data and code are the same thing, at least to the extent that what we do creatively can be described as "using data."
For anyone near Coventry this week: I'm giving a talk at the Centre for Dance Research, notionally about algorithmic thinking and choreographic process (but likely to digress slightly). Details here.
We all go through a formative period in our early adulthood, where we "imprint" to cultural events and icons, and in particular, music. The 1970s saw musicians emerging from experimental rock and the avant-garde at the same time as an explosive development phase in electronic and digital musical instruments, giving us names such as Jean Michel Jarre (whose early electronic soundscapes utterly captivated me until he drifted into bombast), Vangelis (who at least did bombast with energy and flair) and Klaus Schulze (who could turn out lovely hypnotic long-form picture music when he wasn't trying too hard to be Wagner). But really, all were playing on a stage set by Tangerine Dream.
So, what was so special about TD? A number of things, including album artwork (Monique Froese's gorgeous photographs and paintings for the covers and centrefolds) and a commitment to live touring (I think I caught three consecutive tours in three years, and remember them being long-form semi-improvisations with little studio material). But for me it was a combination of technology and process. It goes without saying that the technology is useless without artistic intent, creativity and the ability to deliver. This is where TD excelled through a process which led them to constantly refresh their arsenal of keyboards and sequencers, and push each system to its technical limits in pursuit of their art. The first time I heard a polyphonic synthesiser (as opposed to organ or string machine) was on Cyclone; the first sequence pattern longer than 100 notes on Pinnacles; and Exit really is the definitive showcase work for PPG Wave. And every work was pushing boundaries, riding each technological wave in search of an artistic vision.
To be fair, TD's output could be a bit hit-or-miss: their early-80s movie soundtracks were, by and large, nondescript (Sorcerer and, to a lesser extent, Legend being notable exceptions), and the occasional improvised live set would not quite make it off the ground, but the "Virgin-years" studio albums (Phaedra to Hyperborea, inclusive) are pretty consistently excellent, as are Froese's solo albums from the same period (Macula Transfer still strikes me as delightfully introspective and considered, while Stuntman's sound design and sequencer programming are still breathtaking). If pressed to nominate one TD album above all others, it would have to be Tangram: a gorgeous combination of sonic painting, crafted synth polyrhythms and slick melodic lines. It's a wonderful escape and an absolute joy.
Tangerine Dream pretty much single-handedly gave birth to the genre referred to these days as "Berlin School", a classification which, in my opinion, totally misses the point. Edgar Froese had a particular artistic furrow to plough, and chose to do it by investing heavily in contemporary technological resources and skills (which is why TD's most successful period was with Chris Franke programming sequencers to a level of skill and finesse possibly unequalled today). Berlin School is a photo snapshot of that process in the technology of the time. Today the pioneers are elsewhere.
My presentation at Clojure eXchange this month at Skills Matter is now online: you can see it here. (You need to log in, but can do that via Twitter.)
Short notice: we're performing Ring the Changes+ as part of InShadow at Vo'Arte in Lisbon this coming weekend.
I'm giving a presentation at the Clojure eXchange conference next week on animation systems, geometric art and performance. An as-yet-undetermined portion of the presentation will be live-coded.
On November 8th I'm doing visuals and sound for two unrelated dance performances: Hacking Choreography 2.0 (with Kate Sicchio and Tara Baker) and Ring the Changes+ (with Chisato Minamimura and body>data>space), both as part of the Networked Bodies weekend at Watermans. Hacking was shown earlier this year in Brussels as a project supported by ICT & Art Connect; Changes was premiered at the Southbank Centre in September. The software platforms are completely different (Field vs. Quil – although both performances are Clojure-based), as are the projector rigs, so the setup/rehearsal schedule and changeover are going to be interesting. To add a bit more excitement, Kate and I will be simultaneously live-coding the same running system for Hacking during the performance (me on-stage, Kate NREPL'd in from New York).
Tickets available (for the performances, and for other events in the Networked Bodies weekend) here.

I'm just back (well, as of a week ago) from the Berlin episode of the Choreographic Coding Labs, where a couple of dozen artists, coders, performers and musicians (with many people matching multiple roles) hung out and made cool stuff at Uferstudios for a few days, which then got shown/demonstrated at retune 2014. Some really interesting ideas took shape out of the minds of some very smart and creative people, all of whom I hope to see again some day.
Next weekend, I've been invited to present at a panel session at the Live Coding and the Body symposium at the University of Sussex. The event kicks off on the 4th with an Algorave. Alternatively, if you find yourself somewhat further north on the 4th, Tara Baker is performing Hacking Choreography 2.0 at Unusual Connections, Yorkshire Dance. (For a taste, see the Live Coding poster above, featuring a still from our recent development residency.)
Gig announcement: Anarchy in the Organism, and Plenum (Simeon Nelson with Rob Godman and Nick Rothwell), at the Frome Festival, July 11th. This is the first time we've attempted a custom three-screen display for both pieces (the only non-projection version of Anarchy was the original installation at the Wellcome Trust, while Plenum has, so far, always been projected). We're delighted to welcome back Kate Romano on clarinet.

NORFOLK -- Three 28-day-old cassowary chicks died from Eastern Equine Encephalitis at the Virginia Zoo in July, officials said Wednesday.
Two were found dead on the morning of July 17 and a third died later that afternoon despite intensive medical therapy. One of the parent birds has also died but test results have not been completed to determine a cause, zoo officials said.
Cassowaries are flightless birds native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, north-eastern Australia and area islands.
The chicks' father, along with a young male and a young female, are still at the zoo and have been vaccinated for the disease, officials told WVEC.com.
'All of the animals that are known to be susceptible to the disease were vaccinated at the beginning of mosquito season,' said spokeswoman Meg Puckett. 'This includes birds of prey, cranes, tapir, and all equids. The remaining three cassowary have also now been vaccinated.'
EEE is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can be fatal in both humans and animals. Because of this, the deaths were reported to the appropriate government agencies including the USDA and the Norfolk Department of Public Health.
The Norfolk Department of Public Health has reported that there have been no Eastern Equine Encephalitis positives in any of the mosquito pools or sentinel chickens in Norfolk.
There have been no published cases of cassowary deaths as a result of EEE and it is widely unknown how pathogenic the disease is to the species. While there is no bird-specific vaccine for EEE, it is common in the zoo community to vaccinate some species of birds with the equine vaccine. The Zoo's remaining cassowary have been vaccinated and future chicks will be vaccinated beginning at two weeks of age.
'While the loss is devastating not only to the Zoo staff and the worldwide cassowary gene pool, it does provide the Zoo with the opportunity to publish observations and test results that will help zoos across the country better care for cassowary,' said Greg Bockheim the Zoo's Executive Director.
Bockheim also said that medical testing of this kind is performed in zoological collections and aids the CDC in identifying and tracking disease that can potentially affect humans.
He added that is important for all of us in the community to reduce the pockets of stagnant water in our own yards to prevent the spread of mosquitoes.
Mosquito control has fogged the neighboring areas of Colonial Place, Riverview, Virginia Place and Lafayette. The Norfolk Department of Public Health Vector Control Division will begin fogging in these areas again on Wednesday morning. Additionally, Vector Control staff will increase mosquito trapping, surveillance and larval treatments.
The Virginia Department of Health recommends the following tips to reduce exposure to mosquitoes:
- Wear long, loose and light-colored clothing.
- If possible, limit outdoor exposure between dusk and dawn.
- Use insect repellants with DEET according to the manufacturer's directions.
- Turn over or remove containers in your yard where water collects, such as old tires, potted plant trays, buckets and toys.
- Eliminate standing water on tarps or flat roofs.
- Clean out birdbaths, wading pools and swimming pools.
- Clean roof gutters and downspout screens
For additional information on mosquito control or to report areas of potential mosquito breeding, call the Vector Control Division at (757) 683-2840.

my wife says she gets 24-26 mpg consistently during the work week in warm temps and 21-23 in the winter.
This winter she told me it was down to 18mpg so i cleaned the injectors, im a service tech so I have the tools..the dealer charges around $100 but it is WELL worth it! after that she is back up to where she should be..id reccomend having that done the next time you are in for service and also changing your airfilter religously and i also run tire pressure at 40 psi and keep them rotated.. We also are using synthetic engine oil...hope this helps you out!
What kind of mileage are you getting? I am averaging about 22 - 23 and I drive mostly highway. I am not happy. I have a FWD. I am curious what your experience has been.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Grief: Helping Children Understand
Topic Overview
Helping your child
Here are some general guidelines for helping children when they are grieving:
- Use simple, clear words.
Use words the child can understand. Use correct medical terms when talking
about disease and reasons for death. Do not say things in a way that may
confuse the child.
- If you tell a child that "Uncle Steve's body is in the ground," the child may wonder when Uncle Steve will come out of the ground.
- If you tell a child that "Sally is going to sleep for a long, long time," the child may wonder when Sally will wake up.
- Be honest. If a family member has a serious illness, for example, explain the situation in words that the child can understand. You can say, "Uncle Thomas has a bad illness that is causing his lungs to fill with germs. The germs are too strong for his body to get rid of them. We don't think he is going to live much longer."
- Talk about the meaning of the loss. Loss is a natural part of life. You may want to use an example to help the child understand the meaning of the loss. For example, say, "Remember when you lost your pet rabbit? You were very upset because you wouldn't see him again. Daddy feels that way now because he lost his friend."
- Prepare children for expected losses. If you are planning to move, include the child in plans and preparations. If someone in the family is ill and close to death, you can say, "Grandma is sick, and we want to spend some time with her today." When death gets closer, you can say, "Grandma is very sick, and we don't think she's going to live much longer. We are going to say good-bye to her."
- Involve children. If a loved one is dying in a hospital, ask your child whether he or she wants to visit the hospital. Ask your child whether he or she wishes to attend the funeral or memorial service. Children generally have a good sense of what they can handle. If your child wishes to attend the service, assure him or her that you (or another person) will be there to answer questions or address concerns. Some children don't want to visit a dying loved one or attend a memorial service. This is okay too. Don't force your child to do something against his or her wishes.

Bar bets from CCT activities, Comelec urged
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Bayan Muna Partylist Representative Neri Colmenares on Thursday urged the Commission on Elections to bar candidates running for the elections next year from participating in activities for the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program.
In a media forum, he said that the Comelec should "intervene and warn any candidate that they are not allowed in participating in distributions for the CCT."
"They should be disallowed in participating in the CCT. Kahit governor ka, dapat sorry na lang talaga pero hindi ka pwedeng sumama (Even you're the governor sorry you cannot attend those activities)," Colmenares said.
ACT Teachers Partylist Representative Antonio Tinio, reacting to House minority leader Danilo Suarez's concern that the CCT is being used for election purposes, said that it would not be advisable to suspend the CCT.
Suarez on Wednesday aired fears of the minority bloc that the CCT is being used in campaigning for the 2013 election by allowing candidates to participate in activities for distributions and identification of beneficiaries.
Tinio said that the CCT may be used in "increasing mass base through cash dole outs," pointing out that in some cases governors and congressmen take part in CCT activities.
"It's already highly politicized but the House minority leader's request to suspend the CCT will be difficult. Those who suspend will earn the ire of the beneficiaries," he said.
Colmenares said that the Comelec should put its foot down and prohibit candidates from joining CCT activities since this is "a DSWD function anyway." "Tuloy pa rin ang CCT pero walang imbitahin na candidates para makidistribute (The CCT will continue but no candidates should be invited to distribute certificates)."

The tranny input shaft has to be aligned to the clutch plate. if you didn't take the clutch plate out, It's a non-issue. if you rotate the trans input shaft the splines might not line up with the grooves in the clutch disk. So you rotate the shaft a bit more. Big deal. Put the tranny in 1st gear when you work on it and that becomes a non-issue as well.
I don't pull the tranny to do the splines, too much work. I do use some cheap toothbrushes to clean things. You can use a dental gum brush (the conical ones at right angles to the handles) if you want to clean inside the clutch disk. Avoid solvents around the clutch disk. I use a little on the tooth brush for the tranny splines. Then I use a fresh toothbrush (get 'em cheap at the dollar store) to apply the lube.
Just cooked myself up a pot of custom lube, mostly Honda Moly60 with powdered grahite added. Pretty stiff. Will see how it works.
