Dino Time
Kids will likely be underwhelmed by the predictable plot of this lurid animation, while adults will soon be wishing its obnoxious naughty-boy lead character Ernie gets munched by a velociraptor. When Ernie, his sister and their friend Max get transported in an egg-shaped time machine to the Cretaceous period, they're adopted by a T-Rex mother, whose own baby is swapped into the present. But when the machine breaks, the trio have to find their own way home. The animation is pretty patchy (and looks nastily computer-gamey in one river-ride scene), while the unrealistic reptiles are a bit like Barney the purple TV dino. There's a long, surprisingly dark dinosaur fight scene that's both crammed too tight and rushed through, and a heap of ancient-reptile educational opportunities missed. A Jurassic disappointment.
Insidious: Chapter 3
The third installment in the haunted house franchise from the creators of 'Saw' and 'Paranormal Activity'.
Man Up
Lake Bell is one of the coolest women in Hollywood.
San Andreas
At one point in San Andreas, in which the largest earthquake in recorded history slices and shakes its way through California, Dwayne Johnson parachutes into the middle of a San Francisco baseball stadium with his estranged wife (Carla Gugino) clinging to his bulging midsection. 'It's been a while since we've been to second base,' he says as they land safely on the field, sharing a chuckle after an afternoon spent watching several thousand people be swallowed into the earth. The disaster movie is back.'San Andreas' is a bloodless and boneheaded orgy of computer-generated destruction. The story, such as it is, centres around Ray (Johnson), a buff angel sent from heaven to save helpless women who are trapped by, in or under heavy things. A former army pilot who now flies LA's rescue helicopter, Ray is in the cockpit of his chopper when he sees a highway implode beneath him. His first task is to rescue his wife downtown, then he off to retrieve their student daughter (Alexandra Daddario).Campy but never campy enough, the film is far too numbingly artificial to ever drum up any real suspense or sense of awe. Despite having the destructive powers of God at his disposal, director Petyon fails to conjure a single compelling set piece. Instead, his movie's appeal is limited to whatever charm Johnson can muster from thin air and the genius of seismologist Paul Giamatti, who gets to look in the camera and say ominous things like 'People need to know that the shaking is not over.' Sadly
Big Game
Finns ain't what they used to be. Cinema has long characterised Finland as a nation of heavy-drinking, drily philosophical outsiders, but that's not how writer-director Jalmari Helander sees it. In this shambolic but lovable action throwback, he's recast his people as a bunch of hardbitten heroes, taking on a team of terrorists with their rifle sights set on the biggest prize of all – the President of the United States.And he's hauled in a surprisingly heavyweight cast to assist: Samuel L Jackson plays the Leader of the Free World, lost in the Nordic wilderness after Air Force One is shot down by shifty Middle Eastern revolutionaries. His saviour arrives in the form of Oskari (Onni Tommila), a 13-year-old bowman on a rites-of-passage mission to kill his first stag. Meanwhile, back at the Pentagon, CIA operative Herbert (played by Jim Broadbent – seriously!) struggles to organise a rescue mission.Helander's breakthrough film, 2010's 'Rare Exports', saw him channelling a love of '80s American horror into a berserk tale of monstrous Santas and demonic octogenarians. With 'Big Game', he jumps forward a decade, drawing on '90s high-concept action flicks like 'Die Hard' and 'Cliffhanger' for a rough-edged but always watchable survival romp. The dialogue may be hackneyed (yes, Jackson does get to call someone 'motherfucker' right before shooting them) and the special effects are sometimes painfully low-rent, but Jackson and Tommila have a sweet, convincing rapport. And it's all carr
Follow the Yellow Brick Road to utopia in this peculiar, philosophically inclined Disney family adventure. Britt Robertson plays Casey Newton, a plucky suburban teenager with an uncanny knack for solving scientific problems. When she learns of the existence of Tomorrowland – a parallel dimension where humanity's greatest scientists, thinkers and artists have created a hermetically sealed 'perfect' world – she'll do anything to get there. Enter George Clooney's grumpy, crumpled inventor Frank, who has a dire warning for the 'real' world and for the ailing Eden over the rainbow. 'Tomorrowland' is singularly unafraid of weighty concepts, tackling climate change, our ongoing fascination with the apocalypse and the very Disney-ish idea of being 'special'. It does get dry (some scenes feel suspiciously like TED talks) and the script's fleeting efforts to unpick its dubious Ayn Rand-ish central ideology are completely undermined by a disappointingly clunky, flat-as-a-pancake finale. But when it puts down its copy of 'Political Philosophy for Dummies' and focuses on character and action, 'Tomorrowland' is a blast. 'The Incredibles' director Brad Bird could choreograph daring rocket escapes and soaring jet-pack flights with both eyes shut, while George Clooney and Britt Robertson have a thoroughly convincing knockabout chemistry – though both play second fiddle to blank-eyed British youngster Raffey Cassidy as a mysterious dimensional exile. The production design, too, is glorious: To

15 gambling 'cabos' held in Laguna city
CAMP PACIANO RIZAL, Laguna—Police on Friday filed charges against 15 gambling bet collectors following an anti-illegal gambling operation in San Pablo City, Laguna.
Laguna police director Senior Supt. Pascual Muñoz said the suspects were arrested in a joint operation by the San Pablo police and Laguna intelligence operatives in Barangay San Francisco at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday.
He said the police acted on an earlier report by residents that illegal bookies operated in the area.
In a text message, Muñoz identified the arrested suspects as Merlito Aragenes, Paul Nino Lagures, Mark Albert Dimayuga, Joshua Gomez, Alex Villaverde, Jossel Longino, John Robfrex Cabael, Norman Dalangin, Romeo Torino, Edwin Derapite, Onofre Belda, all from Tiaong, Quezon; and Diomedes Devera, Placido Adalia, Ivan dela Cruz and Rodel Castillo, from San Pablo City, Laguna.
Police also recovered P2,620 from the suspects.
Muñoz said the men claimed to be employees of Ramloid Gaming Corp. and were just about to remit the day's collection to the operator of the Small Town Lottery in Laguna when they were arrested.
The suspects, however, failed to show company-issued IDs and they were also not listed as legitimate employees of Ramloid based on records from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
If convicted, the suspects, detained at the San Pablo police station, could serve six to eight years in prison, if they acted as workers of illegal numbers game operators, or eight to 10 years if proven to be collectors, according to the law on illegal gambling.
Illegal gambling in Laguna persisted even after the death of suspected gambling lord Victor Siman, who was killed with 12 others at a checkpoint in Atimonan, Quezon, in January.
Investigators have concluded that the killing of Siman and his companions was a rubout. Policemen and soldiers who manned the checkpoint are now facing murder charges.
The operation against Siman was said to be part of an intelligence effort against organized criminal syndicates put together by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force.

Call for role models to show women can have family, career
Often, a negative picture is painted of parenthood as stressful: Halimah
Published on Sep 21, 2012 6:00 AM
Dating agency owner Violet Lim is frequently approached by women in their mid-30s to 40s asking for help, but she is often at a loss because the men want younger women to start a family.
So she believes that Singapore needs more female role models to show the women that it is possible to have both a career and a family, so that they will start having children at a younger age.
When she made this suggestion at a dialogue on Singapore's population policies on Thursday night, she found the chairman of the panel agreeing with her.
Madam Halimah Yacob, the Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports, said a negative picture is often painted of parenthood as stressful and costly. Instead, she said, mothers can influence their daughters that having a family and a career are not mutually exclusive.

Next iPhone, iOS 7 spotted in developer logs
Perhaps we'll see something like this in 2013?
Does the timing of the logs point to an earlier iPhone release?
Article Summary
Every new year brings the opportunity for change. But, no matter how many resolutions you make, some things stay the same. The Sun will rise, the Earth will spin, and we'll hear rumors about the next iPhone. We've already seen all three in 2013, as developer logs reveal internal testing for Apple's next versions of iOS and the iPhone.

Q. "What is LO-V.O.C.?"
A. LO-V.O.C. cement produce significantly less amounts of "V.O.C.'s". V.O.C. stands for volatile organic compounds which are unhealthy when breathed or ingested. V.O.C.'s also diminish air quality. Please read and follow all directions carefully when applying these cements.
Q. "How do I glue ABS pipe?"
A. To glue ABS pipe, check that any cut ends are fairly straight. Remove any burrs with a knife or emery cloth and clean both pieces with a rag. Apply ABS glue to both the pipe and fitting.
Q. "What is ABS?"
A. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene - it's a thermoplastic used to make molded products such as pipes/fittings.
Q. "What is PVC?"
A. Polyvinyl chloride - it is a very common thermoplastic polymer widely used in pipe systems.
Q. "How do I glue PVC pipe?"
A. To glue PVC pipe, check that any cut ends are fairly straight. Remove any burrs with a knife or emery cloth and remove any dirt with a rag. Clean pipe and fitting with an approved, listed PVC Primer. The Primer softens the plastic and allows the glue/cement to penetrate into the pipe and the fitting creating a solvent weld. Apply a liberal coat of cement to the pipe the depth of the fitting socket. Make sure entire pipe end is coated. Apply a thin coat of cement to the inside of the fitting. Avoid puddling the cement as this can cause weakening and premature failure to the pipe or fitting. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe. Cement must be fluid. If cement surface has dried, re-coat both parts. Push pipe into fitting using a 1/4 turn motion until pipe bottoms in socket. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out. Allow cement to dry and cure. We believe the longer the cement is allowed to cure the stronger the cement bond with the pipe and fitting will be.
Q. "Do you offer PVC primer?"
A. We are sorry, but we have not found a brand of primer that we are confident will not leak in transit. It is highly flammable and in our opinion, too dangerous to ship.

Seven years ago, my newborn daughter had open heart surgery to fix an area of her heart that had not properly formed. We were very fortunate that our daughter was in the wonderful hands of the pediatric cardiac surgery unit of the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital. From her surgeon, all the way down to the administrative staff, they did their best to explain open heart surgery and all that would be involved.
What we discovered, though, was that all the explanations and facts nevertheless left significant gaps in our understanding of what our daughter would be going through, and what we would be going through as her parents. As our rational minds analyzed and assessed the information, our emotional understanding was left untended.
Explanation is not a substitute for the experience that our emotions require.
I just read an article that may help parents and others facing serious medical issues. I love social media, and now social media has stepped into the operating room.
At Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, the director of digital media, Michael Schmidt, used an application called "Instagram" to document the open heart surgery of 3-year-old Emily Stone via his iPhone. Instagram is a photo sharing service used by social media lovers everywhere to add a creative flare to their images and post them to their timelines on social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Sundance 2015: The Deals, the Awards, and When You Can See These Fabulous Films
The 2015 edition of the Sundance Film Festival has come to a close, and if you've been following our coverage — and I know you have! — you may be wondering if and when you'll get to see all these fabulous documentaries and terrific narrative features. And, well, it's a little complicated. The "if" is fairly easy to figure out, at this point; a healthy chunk of the movies that play the 'dance go in without a distributor in place, and come out with one. (Deal-watching is one of the many side spectator sports of the festival.) They don't always announce when they'll put those movies out, of course, but we can also take some guesses, so let's round up the deals that have been made, and get an idea of what the art house will look like in 2015 and beyond. … Read More
Exclusive: Alex Gibney on the Church of Scientology's War on… Film Critics
When the Church of Scientology took out full-page ads in The New York Times and other outlets slamming Alex Gibney's Scientology exposé Going Clear in advance of its Sundance Film Festival premiere last week, many wondered if the church might send members to protest the premiere, or stir things up at the customary post-screening Q&A. But at that screening, and in the week of festival showings that followed, no protestors were seen and no scenes were caused. Instead, the Church is taking a less obvious (and perhaps more 21st-century) approach: social media outrage and emails to film critics, a campaign that director Gibney tells Flavorwire is "so ham-fisted and so predictable." … Read More

The Best and Worst of Sundance 2015 (Documentary Edition)
The Sundance Film Festival draws to a close this weekend, but your film editor is already headed home from the land of snowy mountains, altitude headaches, crowded shuttles, and indie flicks galore. Because I managed to take in so many Sundance titles this year (34 total), we're splitting our capsule review roundup into two parts; tomorrow we'll look at the fest's narrative films of note, while the focus today is on the documentary premieres and competition entrants.

PARK CITY, UT: In the Q&A session following Sunday night's Sundance Film Festival premiere of Joe Swanberg's new film Digging for Fire, star Rosemarie DeWitt recalled getting a text from co-star Sam Rockwell shortly after production began — a text reading, as she recalled, "What the eff is this movie about?" Many of the responses in the Sundance Twittersphere (the best harbinger of that most valuable of commodities up here, "buzz") have roughly paraphrased that reaction; word is that it's a meandering, dull mess. (One critic dubbed it Digging for Dire.) To be sure, it's not exactly an accessible picture — unlike Swanberg's last two major, star-heavy productions, Drinking Buddies and Happy Christmas, which share several cast members with his latest. But experimentation is kinda what we're up here for, right? Right? … Read More
'I Smile Back': Why Did Sarah Silverman Need a Serious Drama to Become a "Serious Actor"?
PARK CITY, UTAH: Since its premiere Sunday night, one of the biggest stories of the Sundance Film Festival has been Sarah Silverman's revelatory performance in the addiction drama I Smile Back. Indiewire called her "completely riveting." Variety insisted, "rarely has a performer striven so concertedly to shed any trace of his/her comedy roots." And Hollywood Reporter wrote of her "gutsy performance" "annihilating almost every trace of her comedy persona." On the ground, the skill of her turn has generated nothing less than surprise — she's so good, and so dramatic! But it should no longer shock anyone that a comic actor is also skilled at drama, not just because there's such precedence for it, but because comic actors are too often regarded simply as second-class thespians. … Read More
Sundance 2015: Tig Notaro's Charm and Insight Save a Formulaic Documentary
PARK CITY, UT: On August 3, 2012, stand-up comic Tig Notaro stepped onto the stage of Los Angeles' Largo and gave an instantly legendary performance. It came at the conclusion of a three-month period in which she was diagnosed with a dangerous bacterial infection, lost her mother unexpectedly, and was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer news came about three days before the performance, and it was a breaking point; suddenly the series of tragedies became funny, it was just so over the top. She greeted the audience with a warm, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you?" And she proceeded to execute one of the most breathtaking high-wire acts in stand-up comedy history. Suddenly, she was dying — and a star. … Read More

Sundance 2015: 'Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck' Is a Harrowing, Intimate Portrait
PARK CITY, UT: Buried deep in the private journals, audio diaries, and home movies that comprise the bulk of Brett Morgen's remarkable documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck are these instructions: "Look through my things and figure me out." It's a simple imperative that Morgen clearly took as his mission statement, crafting a bio-doc that eschews the usual conventions in favor of something a good deal more experimental and impressionistic. "This is not Nirvana: Behind the Music," director Morgen warned the Sundance Film Festival audience Monday morning. "My films are meant to be experiences." … Read More

The Quarrels of Others: On Anti-Semitism
"In sooth, I know not why I am so sad," Antonio wonders at the outset of The Merchant of Venice. What could seem more universal, more culturally neutral than melancholy? Yet if David Nirenberg's argument in Anti-Judaism is correct, by Shakespeare's time the negative associations of Judaism were so universal, and so close to the surface of Christian consciousness, that Antonio's words immediately prompt the suspicion that he might be a Jew. Other characters soon echo the suggestion. His friend Salerio attributes Antonio's mood to anxiety about the safety of the ships carrying his merchandise overseas, thus taxing him with excessive regard for his money; then, when Antonio repudiates the accusation, another friend, Gratiano, charges him with hypocrisy. Either way, Nirenberg writes, Antonio "appears to be, in the vocabulary of Christianity, a 'Jew.'"
But he is not, which Salerio had promptly indicated to the groundlings by speculating that these anxieties might assail Antonio even in church. Antonio just as promptly denies the speculation. Nevertheless, Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, is struck by the resemblance when they meet: "How like a fawning publican he looks!" (In the Gospels, "publicans" are Jewish tax collectors.) Moreover, throughout the play, disconcerting similarities in outlook and demeanor between Antonio and Shylock float uneasily beneath their mutual loathing. "Which is the merchant here, and which the Jew?" Portia wonders as she arrives at the Duke of Venice's court for Antonio's trial. Nor does the confusion threaten the two protagonists alone. Whether Bassanio's love for Portia is more urgent than his need for her fortune, and Jessica herself a richer reward for Lorenzo than the chest of jewels without which her elopement is unthinkable, both pairs of lovers constantly mingle the language of love and money. The same goes for the rest of the cast of what Nirenberg expounds as "a drama of chronic conversion whose every participant—including playwright and viewer—moves suspended like a compass needle between Judaism and Christianity."
Nirenberg's penetrating analysis of Shakespeare's Jewish question transcends the hackneyed one of whether play or playwright is anti-Semitic. On the contrary, the crucial argument of this learned and disquieting book is that hostility to Judaism was far too deeply and pervasively woven into the fabric of Western Christianity for the presence of actual Jews to be necessary to arouse anti-Semitism. Long before that, Jews had been perceived (notably in Egypt) as hostile to all other peoples, their laws and their gods—the auxiliaries of successive invaders and the willing instruments of their tyranny—although those perceptions did not amount to a coherent or universal stereotype. But the Christians' earliest records, the Epistles of Paul, show how much they identified themselves and defined their beliefs in opposition to Judaism. For the followers of Jesus, his death and resurrection meant jettisoning all previous certainty: "Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" asked Paul. "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified."
Even so, for those early followers, the tension between the obligations of descent from Abraham and the desire to extend the message beyond his descendants was not easily resolved. The Scriptures, as they were still meant for all, could not simply be abandoned; they had to be accommodated to the new, transcendent reality, interpreted to show, according to Luke, how "all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets and in the psalms concerning me." A new science of hermeneutics was devised to ensure, as Humpty Dumpty put it (but Nirenberg does not), that "when I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean." Thus the followers of Jesus went about interpreting their beliefs and arguing out their relationship—and that of their gentile as well as Jewish converts—to the law and its demands. "To the extent that Jews refused to surrender their ancestors, their lineage, and their scripture," Nirenberg explains, "they could become emblematic of the particular, of stubborn adherence to the conditions of the flesh, enemies of the spirit, and of God."
* * *
The Jesus movement, searching in its early years among a far greater variety of writings and teachings than would eventually be canonized three centuries or so later, disputed its way through a host of issues, from whether its founder was man or god to whether women could be vested with spiritual authority. It also had to find ways to distinguish between true and false prophets. A real or alleged relationship to Jews and Judaism was one such test, easily invoked but hardly clear-cut. Those who thought Christ a human prophet, for instance, denying his incarnation and resurrection in the flesh, could readily be condemned as Judaizers. But so could those who, holding him divine, insisted that he had inhabited a fleshly body nonetheless.
The accusation was directed by Paul at critics who insisted on circumcision, which he saw as an obstacle to his conversion of the gentiles. In the following centuries, the charge was deployed with ever-growing agility and flexibility, until it became almost mandatory in any debate to represent one's opponent as sharing in or defending the errors of the Jews. Jerome, who had "a notable hatred for the circumcised," denounced as Judaizers those Christians who defended the decoration of churches with holy images by citing the model of the Temple in Jerusalem— and was himself accused of Judaizing by Rufinus of Aquileia for having impugned the sanctity of the Greek Scriptures by learning Hebrew to get better texts for his translation, which became the Latin Vulgate. Augustine of Hippo, whom the Manichaeans had called a Judaizer for accepting Christ's incarnation when he converted to Christianity, also worried that Jerome's use of Hebrew texts risked granting the Jews interpretive authority over the Christian Scriptures. That anxiety surfaced again in the twelfth century, when some sought to resolve textual discrepancies among their copies of the Old Testament with the help of the very same Jews whom others represented as emissaries of Satan.
The malleability of this rhetoric readily made Jews the victims in the quarrels of others. When pagans attacked Christians as being worse than Jews from the perspective of Roman civic values, Christians retaliated by claiming that in refusing to acknowledge Christ, Jews had failed to follow their own prophets—for which, said the Christian apologist Justin Martyr (165 CE), they had been justly punished by the Roman conquest of Jerusalem and permanent exile. The greatest and most durable division among Christians after the Council of Nicaea in 325 was between Catholics and the Arians, whose account of the Trinity, the Catholics argued, denied the divinity of Christ. Called on to preach against the Arians in Antioch, where they were particularly strong, St. John Chrysostom began by announcing that their error was essentially the same as that of the Jews. The eight sermons that followed, known as his Discourses Against the Jews, set new standards in the violence and comprehensiveness of its denunciation. The Jews were not only obstinate, literal-minded enemies of the spirit—willfully blind to divine revelation, devoted to the world and the lusts of the flesh—but also animals, "not fit for work" but "fit for killing," their souls and their synagogues the dwelling places of demons. They had nothing to do with the disputes that brought Antioch to Chrysostom's attention, but he made them surrogates for all who denied the divinity of Christ—pagans, Arians and heretics of every kind, who, in Tertullian's phrase, "borrowed poison from the Jew."

I went to the Giants-Mets game last night and got to watch Lincecum pitch in person. I was behind home plate in the Mezzanine (right below the upper tier).
The first time through the lineup the kid was dominant. He was getting ahead in the count on everyone and most were late on his fastball.
First time against Beltran on a 1-2 count, he threw a wicked breaking ball that nearly got Carlos, who checked his swing. Next pitch was a 99 MPH (stadium radar) fastball that blew him away.
The Mets best hitters seemed to figure him out a little as the game went on. Beltran laid off the high heat and Lincecum couldn't get his breaking stuff over. After Carlos worked a walk, same deal from Delgado, except he relocated a high, straight fastball about 420 feet over the LF fence.
The Mets scored their third run after Reyes worked a walk, and Beltran waited for a fastball of his liking that he laced down the line for an RBI double. As the game went on, a lot of hitters were able to foul off pitches and work the count.
Interesting that the Giants chose to let him go out to pitch the top of the seventh with 101 pitches. He breezed through the inning, though, and finished with 113 pitches. Redzone will have a meltdown if Narron ever does that with Bailey.
But Lincecum is very impressive. His delivery, however, makes you think that his arm will fall off after every pitch. It's almost like a slingshot. From all accounts, the kid has a rubber arm, though.
Also, maybe it was just two bad at bats...but he's the worst hitting pitcher I've ever seen. He makes Harang look like Rod Carew.
The Giants didn't exactly send out the "A" team to support the kid, though, ol'Jerry would shed a tear looking at this lineup:
R. Winn cf
K. Frandsen 2B
R. Aurilia 1B
B. Molina C
P. Feliz 3B
D. Ortmeier lf
O. Vizquel ss
F. Lewis rf
Other observations:
- Bonds better break the HR record in SF. Man the Mets fans got on him when his stuck his oversized head out of the dugout for the first time as a late-inning pinch hitter. If he breaks the record on the road it'll be to a chorus of boos.
- I wonder how Mets fans will treat Guillermo Mota, who returns from his steroids suspension tonight. If they cheer him, are they hypocrites. If he pitches to Bonds, at least they're on even terms.
- Schoenweis looks finished. He's awful. Good non-signing by the Reds.
- Oliver Perez misses a lot of bats. He's still got some nasty pitches in his arsenal. He was a little wild in the 1st and grooved fastballs to Winn and Molina (for HRs). But settled down and cruised the rest of the game. Good pickup for the Mets.
- They might as well put wheels on Shea and call it a bandwagon. There were 47K fans last night, but very few that I would call 'die-hard' fans. I bet there were 10K pre-teen girls with David Wright jerseys. Whenever he came to bat, the shrill screams were so loud I bet all of the dogs in Queens started barking.
- Overall though, it was a good experience. I can't wait until they tear down Shea. The Mets new stadium is currently under construction. They need it in the worst way, Shea is a dump.

Elite Skin SuiteRead MoreIn Louisiana, all aestheticians endure at least 750 grueling hours of cosmetology schooling before they can obtain a license. Difficult scientific classes aren't part of the required curriculum, but they were essential for Elite Skin Suite's Lessie. After obtaining her cosmetology license back in 1978, the aesthetician became completely enamored with skin. So she headed to Tulane College and enrolled in classes such as genetics, mutation, and cellular biology, all in hopes of truly understanding the ins and outs of her favorite organ. So far, her schooling has served Lessie well. For more than 30 years, she has helped clients of all ages maintain healthy skin with treatments tailored to their individual needs. Every service at Elite Skin Suite begins with a complimentary assessment, which gives Lessie the knowledge she needs to administer any one of a dozen or so of the facial treatments in her repertoire, including glycolic-acid peels, LED therapy, and detoxifying acne facials. And though most spas and licking puppies tend to focus on the face, Lessie focuses her aesthetic eye on the whole body with cellulite wraps, coconut-infused hydration treatments, and waxing.1909 Airline Dr.Metairie, LA US
Wheeler Chiropractic Clinics PensacolaRead MoreAfter witnessing chiropractic techniques benefit his sciatica-ridden mother, his injured brother, and his own damaged back, Rob Wheeler felt so inspired that he became a chiropractor himself.

He uses the specially calibrated lasers to harmlessly bypass the skin and treat damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and entertain subcutaneous kitties. He can also apply these high-tech beam emitters in tandem with massage therapy to trigger the body's self-healing properties.5211 Hwy 90Pace, FL US
Dimitri DermatologyRead MoreThe aestheticians at Dimitri Dermatology exfoliate face-skin and shrink pores during 30-minute microdermabrasion sessions. Upon arrival, patients discuss their countenance's history with a staff member before handing it over for scrubbing, ensuring that each session is appropriately tailored to account for sensitivity and loose glass eyes. After enjoying a manual cleaning by the hands of an aesthetician, faces find a temporary home under microdermabrasion machines, which aim to shuffle off expired cells to reveal the younger, healthy flesh waiting in the wings. Because wrinkles are caused in part by excess dead skin, microdermabrasion treatments may also reduce lines on the face.3715 Williams BlvdKenner, LA US

"I ordered the light grey and was a little concerned the pattern on the card would be too light. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the cards - they turned out to be absolutely beautiful and look just like the picture. Subtle and classy, I would definitely recommend it!"
"The one problem with this item is that there isn't a cream colored envelope to match the card. White doesn't go with the cream card stock. I ended up ordering gold to try to match the name printed on the card, ok but not a perfect match."
"Ordered these (not as "thank you" but as a "hello!" note) for my 11 year-old niece's b-day. She's not into flower and typical girly stuff, so this design was perfect for her. It came out beautiful. I do wish, though, that TinyPrints would offer boxes for their products. The "presentation" factor for the stationary as a gift isn't great. I'm going to pull it all out of the plastic & wrap in a ribbon, but wish there was a proper sized box that I could buy in which my niece could keep the stationary."
"I was looking for personalize Thank You cards, and I have found them on Tinyprints.com. It gave me several cards to choose from and I had chosen this card. It arrived very quickly, and it was packaged well."
"A simple yet stylish thank you card that can not only suit a specific occasion but be used in the future as a regular thank you card."

Hello! I've been slowly introducing solids starting at 4 months. We've just done rice cereal, but this week we started some avocado and today some banana. She's usually eating about 2 tablespoons twice a day. I'm just wondering when the poops start changing consistency? Thanks!
Solid food = solid poop?
Comments (8)
The poop shouldn't be solid for baby, even with solid food. That's because for now LO should drink more of his meals than eat. May become pasty, but shouldn't be formed, at least that's what I thought....
Mommy to Doodle 7/24/01 and Joseph 6/7/11
My son's poop became different (like, mashed potatoes consistency, sometimes even harder) as soon as we started giving him veggies. Avocado also makes it really dark. :)
Proud Mama of Mikhael V. (born on 6/6/2011)
Baby # 2 is due 10/31/12
We've been doing cereal and various fruits and veggies since 4 months, and yesterday LO had more solid poo. It wasn't solid, but it was more together and like mashed potatoes.
Jessica (28) and Kristin (29)
Lorraine - 6/17/11
#2 due 10/2015!
It seems that the second poop after he eats his solids (which is only once a day), is pretty much the same consistency (and color) as what he ate. All of his other poops (he poops like four times a day), are liquidy and "normal" for a BF baby.
Wife to Mike and Mommy to Neko Alton (June 24, 2011)!
It's more solid but not totally solid and my DD's smells worse than just BM.

One son - Bobby

hard poop means baby is constipated. at least that's what I've read. Their poop should still be soft even after starting "solids"

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Nelson Mandela ♥
Welcome to Bailing Out Benji!
EVERYONE wants to know… What is Bailing Out Benji?
Bailing Out Benji is a humane education organization based out of Ames, Iowa. We are all about education- enlightening our readers and giving the individual person the power to change the lives of the animals around them. At Bailing Out Benji, we provide free lectures and presentations about various humane education topics in schools, libraries, and other public venues, as well as, utilizing social media channels and the organization's website to provide facts, statistics, and solutions to helping animals in harmful or less than ideal situations.
Our programs include sending out ambassadors to raise social consciousness about these animal welfare issues on a local and national level and holding fundraising events in order to raise awareness about said issues or to provide immediate relief to animals in need.
For more information, please feel free to contact us at email@example.com
Most people know that animals need the basics- food, water, love and shelter. What we do is a step beyond those basic needs. We are helping kids and adults realize that while animals can't speak, they do experience pain, fear, hunger, sadness and other emotions similar to humans. They deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion.
What we are trying to do with each article on our blog is educate, update and inform readers (Iowans and non-Iowans alike) on animal laws, stories and events, in hopes that we can change the future for animals everywhere.
Education is the key to getting our problems solved– so please share this with all of your friends AND always leave feedback.
Interested? Please join us on facebook and join in on our discussions about the latest animal news! It is a great way to stay updated!

A showstopper for St. Patrick's Day celebrations – a layer cake in multiple hues of green inspired by fashion's color fade craze.
1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix
2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
McCormick® Green Food Color
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 package (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Prepare cake mix as directed on package, using whole eggs. Stir in vanilla. Divide batter evenly into 3 bowls. Stir 50 drops (about 1/2 teaspoon) food color into one of the bowls, tinting batter dark green. Stir 15 drops food color into another of the bowls, tinting batter medium green. Stir 2 drops food color into last of the bowls, tinting batter light green.
Pour each bowl of batter into a greased and floured 8-inch round cake pan.
Bake as directed on package. Cool cakes on wire rack.
For the Frosting, beat butter and vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating well after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of bowl frequently. Add milk; beat until light and fluffy. Place dark green cake layer on serving plate. Spread with 1/3 cup of frosting. Top with medium green cake layer. Spread with 1/3 cup of frosting. Top with light green cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
Test Kitchen Tip: For easier measurement, 1/4 teaspoon Food Color = 20 to 25 drops
(Amount per serving)
Great fun for baking with children. It was a little challenging to divide batter evenly into 3 bowls. We had one layer fatter than the rest. I wish I had just a little more buttercream icing to ice the outside better. The cake was a big hit at our annual St. Patty's party!

Mishandling Morsi
Posted By Adam Turner On December 10, 2012 @ 12:35 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | Comments Disabled
[1]Only a week after being praised by the Obama Administration for his supposed helpfulness in ending the fighting in Gaza between Palestinian Hamas terrorists and Israel, Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Member and Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi apparently decided to cash in his praise "chips" early. Most prominently, President Morsi made himself immune from the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court's oversight, thereby essentially assuming dictatorial powers over his nation. Less prominently, one of his appointed [2] judges convicted eight persons, including seven Americans, for their "blasphemy" towards Islam. Included in this group were well-known Florida Pastor Terry Jones, who has burned several Korans in the United States, and Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, one of the people behind the controversial American film "Innocence of Muslims." So far, the Obama Administration has lodged no complaints [3] (and here [4]) with the Egyptian regime over either action.
It should be shocking to the Obama Administration, and Americans, that a foreign nation can sentence our citizens to death for the "crime" of free speech. Free speech, and the First Amendment, is supposed to be sacrosanct in the US. Our Founding Fathers were certainly very supportive of it. President George Washington said, "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." Benjamin Franklin understood that, "(i)n those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." And prominent Supreme Court Justices have continued to praise free speech over the years. Justice William O. Douglas stated, "Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us." Justice Louis Brandeis believed, "Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fear."
Based on the strong historical support for freedom of speech evidence by these quotes, you could be forgiven for thinking that any attempts by foreigners to infringe upon American speech in our own country would prompt our nation to do something about it. But, apparently, we are living in new times. President Obama has already said at the UN that "(t)he future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." Perhaps he believes that a little thing like the First Amendment in the US Constitution should not be allowed to get in the way.
In fact, instead of objecting to this kind of Egyptian bad behavior, the US continues to reward it. The American foreign aid money keeps flowing to Egypt. Roughly $1.5 billion a year, most of it military aid. Over $50 billion total since 1979. There are new proposals by President Obama for $1billion in debt relief for Egypt. And through international organizations like the IMF, even more American aid is coming.
Technically, much of this aid is conditioned on good behavior by the Egyptian regime, but the dirty little secret is that the Obama Administration always waives these restrictions when they aren't met by President Morsi. And no bad behavior stops them. When President Morsi first won his term, he immediately demanded the release of convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, i.e., the "Blind Sheikh," the spiritual and terrorist leader for the first Islamist attack against the World Trade Center that killed six U.S. citizens. Silence from the Obama Administration. Morsi allowed Islamist protestors to overrun the US Embassy in Cairo – sovereign US territory – and raise the black flag of the Islamists. President Obama did nothing. The Morsi regime continues to suppress protests by ordinary Egyptians, most horrifically by paying gangs [5] to go out and rape women and beat men who are demonstrating in opposition to Morsi's new judicial immunity and new dictatorship. No objections for the US. The MB-led Egypt is rushing to institute Sharia law, a barbaric code of law which requires that raped women be put to death for adultery. No complaints came from Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Morsi's Administration has presided over a regime that slaughters and discriminates against Egyptian Copts. The crickets are chirping in the US government. Figures in the MB call [6] for another genocide against Jews. "Never mind," the Administration says, rather than "never again."
"Don't worry," the foreign policy experts assure us, countless times, "US money provides us with great influence over the new Egyptian rulers." The MB is a "moderate, secular organization." "If we keep funding them, we will get a seat at the table."
Of course, President Obama only sits silently at that table. This isn't too surprising, since we already know from his UN speech that he doesn't always value speech. So what good is that seat anyway?

SS Baikal was an ice-breaking train ferry that linked the eastern and western portions of the Trans-Siberian Railroad across Lake Baikal.
Ship history[edit]
In early 1895 the construction of a ferry across the Lake Baikal began, following the proposal of the Minister of Transport Mikhail Khilkov. On 30 December 1895 a contract with Sir W G Armstrong Whitworth & Co Ltd was signed for the parts of the icebreaking ferry (without woodwork and in disassembled state). By June 1896 the icebreaker had been delivered for assembly to the village of Listvenichnoye. After three years it was completed and launched on 29 June [O.S. 17 June] 1899.
Before the Circum-Baikal Railway was opened in 1905, Baikal, and later the Angara, carried two loads a day between piers at Baikal and Mysovaya. After the railway was completed, both ships continued to operate in reserve.
When the Civil War broke out Baikal was equipped with machine guns and cannons by the Red Army. When Irkutsk surrendered to the White Army, Baikal sailed to the Mysovaya pier, the location of the Red Army headquarters.
In August 1918 the icebreaker was damaged by field artillery fire. It was burnt at the Mysovaya pier.
In 1920 the damaged hull was refloated and towed to Port Baikal. It remained untouched until at least 1926, and was later dismantled. There is a possibility that its lower hull, bow propeller, and part of the engines are still at the bottom of the lake at the mouth of the Angara River.
