The Angell Memorial Animal Hospital Book of Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs
A world-renowned animal hospital shares its total-care program for dogs
"Angell Memorial's reputation in the animal world is unchallenged, and who better to tell their story than one of the best dog writers in the business. . . . A perfect combination and a must for this important bookshelf."
--Betty White, actress, author, and animal welfare activist
Angell Memorial Animal Hospital boasts an innovative and authoritative staff and a reputation second to none. Now for the first time, Angell Memorial is teaming up with an award-winning journalist, Darlene Arden, to offer its unprecedented preventive care program to puppy and dog owners everywhere in this comprehensive, user-friendly book, The Angell Memorial Animal Hospital Book of Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs.
Too often dog owners wait until a pet is struck with an illness to seek out veterinary advice. The importance of implementing a program that prevents illness from occurring is key to a happy and healthy pet.
Topics covered include:
- Dentistry, grooming, and nutrition
- Emergencies, surgery, first aid, and vaccinations
- Training and behavior
- Caring for middle-aged and advanced-aged dogs
Angell's unique preventive care handouts and brochure pages (offered for the first time to the general public) are also included. Now, through this book, readers and their veterinarians can create a preventive care program that mimics Angell's to fit the individual dog and lifestyle.less

Gears of War: Judgement To Have New Free-For-All Multiplayer
By Eric L Patterson, Executive Editor
Posted on August 27, 2012 AT 12:17pm
Posted on August 27, 2012 AT 12:17pm
Up until now, all of the multiplayer in the Gears of War series has been built upon team-based concepts. For the upcoming Gears of War: Judgement, however, that will change.
As revealed in the latest issue of UK publication Official Xbox Magazine, Judgement will now feature a multiplayer option where it'll be ever man and woman for themselves. As a part of this revelation, OXM posted the below screenshot, which gives us a quick tease of the new Free-For-All mode.
What do you think—are you excited by the idea of solo deathmatch coming to Gears of War: Judgement?

Corona ATP Weekly Slice: Isner Returns To Winston-Salem
by ATP Staff|
Tap into the essentials of the week ahead and re-live the highlights of the past week with Corona ATP Weekly Slice, as we serve up an executive summary of what every fan should know, along with a look at the best in social media.
The final American ATP World Tour event of the season, the Winston-Salem Open, features 12 of the Top 50 players in the Emirates ATP Rankings.
Winston-Salem Open (Winston-Salem, U.S.A.)
The fourth-year tournament on the campus of Wake Forest University is led by top seed and 2011-'12 champion John Isner, second seed Kevin Anderson and third seed Tommy Robredo. The top three Americans (four of top five) in the Emirates ATP Rankings are in the draw.
Website | Facebook | Twitter
• Big John Top Seed - John Isner, native of nearby Greensboro, returns to Winston-Salem for the third time in four years. This will be the first time the 29-year-old American is the top seed at the tournament. He is undefeated (10-0) in Wake Forest, winning back-to-back titles in 2011-'12. This is the fifth time this season Isner is the top seed. Isner took the crown in his last outing as the tournament No. 1, defeating Dudi Sela for the Atlanta title. Isner opened the season with his eighth ATP World Tour title, in Auckland (d. Lu).
• Defending Champion - Reigning champion Jurgen Melzer is making his fourth straight Winston-Salem appearance. The Austrian left-hander was sidelined by a shoulder injury before returning to the Tour in mid-April. The 33 year old, who reached the 's-Hertogenbosch semi-final in his best run of the season, looks to break a four-match losing streak.
• Robredo Enters Off Big Win – Third seed Tommy Robredo is coming off his second victory over a World No. 1 after defeating Novak Djokovic in the Cincinnati third round. The 32-year-old Spaniard is playing in Winston-Salem for the third straight year (1-2).
• Rubin's Debut – Wimbledon junior champion and USTA Boys' 18s national winner Noah Rubin makes his ATP World Tour debut in Winston-Salem. The 18 year old from Rockville Center, N.Y., who last week won the national U.S. junior tournament in Kalamazoo, Mich., earned a singles and doubles (w/Kozlov) wild card into the US Open. Rubin, who is ranked No. 585 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, will attend Wake Forest this fall. He lost his first-round singles match to fellow American Bradley Klahn.
• Americans On The Rise – No. 2 American Donald Young has climbed from No. 96 at the end of last year to No. 46 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. Two weeks ago, Young advanced to the semi-finals in Washington (l. to eventual champion Raonic) and afterwards he broke into the Top 50 for the first time since 18 June 2012. No. 3 American Steve Johnson is expected to crack the Top 50 for the first time after his third-round showing in Cincinnati. The 24-year-old four-time All-American (University of Southern California) has climbed from No. 157 at the end of last year to No. 49 on 18 August. He has four Top 20 wins this season.
• Harrison Returns – Wild card Ryan Harrison, who has been sidelined with a stress fracture in his foot, makes his return to action for the first time since Atlanta last month. The 22-year-old has a 4-11 match record on the ATP World Tour this season.
Emirates ATP Rankings Movers
David Ferrer 5 (+1 spot)
Milos Raonic 6 (+1 spot)
Julien Benneteau 27 (+17 spots)
Lukas Rosol 33 (+5 spots)
Steve Johnson 49 (+6 spots) - career-high
Jerzy Janowicz 52 (+13 spots)
Jack Sock 55 (+1 spot) - career-high
Potential Milestones (as of 18 August)
Winston-Salem - Singles
Marcel Granollers - 146 wins
Paul-Henri Mathieu - 246 wins
18 August - Igor Sijsling (27)
20 August - Bradley Klahn (24)
21 August - Nicolas Almagro (29)
22 August - Mischa Zverev (27)
Player To Watch: Kevin Anderson
Top South African Kevin Anderson accepted a wild card for his second visit to Winston-Salem. Anderson defeated Stan Wawrinka en route to a quarter-final finish in Toronto (l. to Dimitrov), and also reached the final eight in Washington, D.C. (l to Young). Two years ago, Anderson lost in the Winston-Salem opening round.

One of the most original and engaging gameplay experiences ever for a console system.
The delicate mix of three genres has never been pulled off as well as this before.
I only wish they'd have fixed the mission-ops map and installed a slow-motion option to better deploy troops when the pressure is on. [Oct 2005]
But what really impressed us most about Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes is its incredible attention to detail in battle. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]
The fact remains however that at its core the game has changed very little from the original. The camera and control issues are still present and the learning curve is much steeper than the original with still no way of varying difficulty or to save during missions.
With over fifty hours of gameplay and a strong multiplayer aspect you just might get your fill of the best action strategy game going.
With a hearty single player experience, enough online goodies to shake a medieval sword at, and some pristine production quality to top it all enough, Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes equates to the perfect fix for those looking for a great action/strategy experience.
Heroes manages to build complexity while increasing the fun in so many ways that we're anxious to see what's in store for the next iteration. [Dec 2005, p.119]
The game allows 200 units on the screen at one time so be prepared for mayhem at every angle. The designs of the characters are superb.
Not only did Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders come out of nowhere, but Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes also came from the exact same direction and still remains an excellent title to have a great deal of fun with while using one's strategy bone.

You need an intricate understanding of the ins and outs of all the rules along with a big dose of luck to get through this one without multiple retrys of every other scenario.

May 19, 20138 years later and this game draws me in like no other. If you're reading this and want to try out a game it has aged well. Visually, it was8 years later and this game draws me in like no other. If you're reading this and want to try out a game it has aged well. Visually, it was pretty good. The draw distance was the only downside visually for it's time. It is a very nice game to look at with up-scaled visuals and a component cable. The music is fantastic if you're into thrash metal with lots of chugging guitars. In terms of it as a sequel, it is basically 1:1 with Crusaders gameplay wise, which is a good thing. Don't fix what isn't broken. Surprising to say the least was the harshness of the reviews at release. It seems as though this game was plagued by very bad players quickly rushing to judge the game over things they simply do not understand just look at the person who said they did a mission 43 times over. The only missions that truly stand out as genuinely mindbogglingly hard involve Urukkubhar and Morene. They are intended to be nightmarishly difficult, so don't expect anything less. The control scheme was solid, the only thing I wish was changed would be how often you were using the mini map overlay to guide troops. The online play was incredibly fun, though sadly there were not many players staying around for it. The matchmaking rules were a bit iffy, and I'd be surprised if the servers were offline by now. The sheer amount of time you can spend playing and replaying the game is higher than almost anything you will ever play. Most stories take 6-10 hours depending on skill level, with the game being incredibly hard to speed run. With 7 characters, there is so much to do. All in all, if you're reading this today and want what I consider the best action-RTS if not one of the best RTS of all time you need to check this out. If it's a challenge you want with a great learning curve and entry, this is it.… Full Review »

To become a Certified Prosthetist (CP) or Orthotist (CO), a student must earn a Bachelor of Science degree in orthotics and prosthetics or complete a post-baccalaureate certificate program. Each of these program levels are described in detail below.
Bachelor of Applied Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics
The professional portion of the orthotics and prosthetics curriculum is normally presented solely in the junior and senior years. Students spend the first two years of studies completing prerequisite science and math courses and apply in their sophomore year for admission into the program. Due to this '2+2' structure, students often complete general education requirements at community colleges and transfer at the start of their junior year.
Education Prerequisites
Prior to entry into a prosthetics and orthotics professional curriculum, students must complete the following courses in the first two years of undergraduate study:
- Anatomy and physiology
- Biology
- Psychology
- Trigonometry
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Statistics
An observation or volunteer experience in orthotics and prosthetics is usually required for admission. Test scores and prior transcripts may also be considered.
Program Coursework
Coursework in an orthotics and prosthetics program is very technical. Students complete clinical rotations in order to gain hands-on experience Topics studied include:
- Biomechanics
- Clinical methods
- Gait analysis
- Material science
- Lower and upper extremity orthotics
- Transtibial prosthetics
- Clinical pathology
- Spinal orthotics
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for prosthetists and orthotists is expected to grow at an average rate between 2010 and 2020. The average annual salary for practitioners was $69,960 in 2012.
Continuing Education Information
Continuing education requirements for prosthetists are administered by American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABCOP). Dually certified practitioners (CPO) must complete 100 credit hours of mandated continuing education every five years.
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate of Completion in Prosthetics
Certificate programs in prosthetics incorporate didactic and hands-on training over a period of 6-9 months. Following completion of the program, graduates complete a 1-year residency in order to become eligible for the certification examination. Graduates can work as prosthetists.
Education Prerequisites
Applicants to certificate programs must have a bachelor's degree, preferably in a health-related field. Additionally, entry-level prerequisites in math, science and statistics must be completed if they were not part of the student's undergraduate studies:
Program Coursework
Program coursework gives students hands-on experience in the following topics:
- Biomechanics
- Kinesiology
- Normal and pathological gait

Sea Lion Caves & Gift Shop -
dupe - delete
Sea Lion Caves is nature's home for wild sea lions and a variety of sea birds. Sea Lion Caves is located 11 miles North of Florence on the Oregon Coast. The vast cavern with the roar of the great Steller sea lions, the cries of the wailing birds, and the restless surge of the ocean into the cave below, form an unforgettable experience.
The cave system is at sea level and the ocean continually washes into the main cavern which has a floor area of about 2 acres (0.81 ha) and a vaulted rock dome about 125 feet (38 m) high. Southward from the main chamber, a low passage runs 1,000 feet (300 m) to a sea level opening. This corridor is flooded at high tide and free of water at low tide. The western entrance is a short, high passage through which the ocean washes at all tide levels. At the north, a third entrance is about 50 feet (15 m) above the ocean which serves as an elevated observation area where the entire underground cave system and its wildlife are visible.
Lichens, algae, and mineral stains cover the cavern walls with greens, pinks, purples, buffs, and reds on the rough surfaces some of which are named Lincoln's Head, the Indian Maiden, and The Goddess of Liberty.
The sea level portion of this cave and the sea cliff rocks just outside the cave have become, over the centuries, the only known mainland rookery and hauling area (wintering home) of the Stellar Sea Lion and—to a lesser extent—the California Sea Lion.
The high vault is a natural resting place for sea birds. Many birds make their home at or near the Sea Lion Caves such as the Pigeon Guillemot, Brandt's Cormorant, Western, Herring, and California Gulls, Tufted Puffins, and the occasional hawk or Bald Eagle.
Sea Lion Caves is one of the great sea grottos of the world, comparable in size and coloration to the famed Blue Grotto in the Mediterranean.
The whale watching deck, located below the gift shop, permits a seaward view of approximately 20 miles (32 km). The deck is at an elevation of 300 feet (91 m), making it a popular whale watching post. Typically, orcas are seen migrating once a year past the Sea Lion Caves, whereas the Grey Whale is seen anywhere from a few months to all year long. Small groups sometimes end their migration in the immediate vicinity, feeding very close to the shore.

It's a perfect beginner sewing project, as it requires only little sewing, and if you don't have a sewing machine, you can also handsew it! :o) (although sewing with machine makes it more durable, if you have a dog with destructive habits... :D)
First of all, take your leftover fabric. It can be of any shape, size, as long as it's enough to make a toy that is not easy to swallow.
(yup, it's impossible to work on anything without my dog stepping on it... :D)
Cut out two shapes. No matter what shape, whatever fits the fabric. As I was just experimenting with this, I just used rectangles.
Put them right sides together, and sew up 3 sides, leaving one to turn it inside out when finished.
Gather some more leftover fleece, for stuffing. Here comes the fun part! :o)
Stuff the toy as much as you want. You can even leave out this and the previous step if you think the toy doesn't need to be harder.
Leva at least 3 centimeters of space at the top, for the next step!
Fold in the sides the way you can see in the picture.
Sew it, play a little with the stuffing to make it even, and you have yourself and your pet a new dog toy! :o)
Have fun playing! :o)
Naomi, That is a great idea!! :D I'll have to try that, thanks! :o)
or you could put a noisy plastic bag in the bag for even more enjoyment!!
Her name is Pamacs (a very common name in my country for dogs, it means something like Fluffy). I didn't give this name to her, i got her when she was one and a half year old. :)
That's a really nice and simple project! What's your dog's name? He (or she, sorry) is so adorable!

Needs a lot of work Rated 1 out of 5 stars
* The search button is broke, had to go to the settings > add songs
* The UI is crap, needs major UI changes
But with some work, this can pull it off as good as streamus.com for chrome
Very Promising but needs inprovement to be really useful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Needs some inprovement but it's very promising.
Sometimes the music won't download with no info as of why (you load a video in the tab and if you click download, it will donwload the previous seen song). Maybe the video has special rights?.
The playlist should be editable (sorting, etc).
An option to choose the dowladed bitrate it's a must; 128kbps its too little nowadays. At least 192kbps is needed.
Useless Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I did everything from logging in, creating and saving a playlist, logging out, logging back in, loading the playlist, trying to play using default key-binds, changing the key-binds, trying those, and trying the buttons on the browser bar; nothing worked, no sound played. This addon is useless.
Extremely beautiful Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Extremely beautiful.
just Drag and drop interface needs some fix.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
its look nice tool i will try to use it but thanks for share it now..
Used to work perfectly, but... Rated 2 out of 5 stars
When I first started using this extension a little over a year ago, it worked perfectly all the time. It has slowly lost more and more functionality, and now I can't get it to work, despite browser restart, uninstall/reinstall, etc. Shame, it's a really great extension when it works, it's just been a long time since it actually worked.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I cant seem to get it to work sadly. I rely wish it did. So 3 stars for it working for others.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Me encanta esta extension....aunque le falta un poco mas pero sta exelente va...de lujo :D :D :DThis user has a previous review of this add-on.
update regarding that FireTube doesn't work Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Did a review a few weeks ago stating that this add-on only works half of the time. The developer made a statement below my review saying he will email me and troubleshoot the problem. He never emailed me! He just wrote that for other possible FireTube potential users to read. Makes him look good. Bottom Line: I removed this useless add-on. Went to Amazon.com and now have plenty of great music that ALWAYS works. Their music is cheap and they have hundreds of thousands titles.This user has a previous review of this add-on.
My original comment:
"Hi Howie. I usually help people troubleshoot their issues and I have never stopped by saying your internet speed is to slow. If you would kindly email me back, we can try troubleshooting again."
I don't have your email address so I asked you to email me back. You should read more carefully before posting harmful reviews.
Like it but would love it if it upgrades on some aspects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a great add on, it helps me not to go to youtube. Still I wish that when I search though the magnified glass not all the songs were added, only the one I want to add (like a plus sign, much like in grooveshark). A replay botton wouldn't hurt either. Its really great, could use some upgrades, but its solid.
Básico, pero funcional Rated 4 out of 5 stars
El complemento en sí es muy básico, pero cumple perfectamente con lo que le pides, que obviamente es que te reproduzca música. No ralentiza la navegación, encuentra las canciones enseguida y se reproducen sin problema. Además, añade un botón que te permite descargar la canción si te gusta. También dos botones de movimiento para moverse entre las diferentes opciones de Youtube, por si no ha caído en la que es.
Es cierto que le faltan un par de cosas como la posibilidad de añadir playlist o de modular el volumen, pero en general está realmente bien.
Ads integration and not working Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent add on for firefox...Its exactly the plugin that i was searching for...
Keep good work up
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Does his job well. But we need to relog to our google account each time we wish use Firetube to get and set our playlist.
Moreover, the songs are not automatically played. When one of them is finished the next song wont start.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Its a handy add onThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (18.104.22.168-signed).
nice addon ,,,, but Rated 5 out of 5 stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars
hello .. there is a problem ,, why i can't make the song be replied (Automatic replay songs) ??!!
really strange thing .. it's nice addon .. it's very useful .. thank you so much
Good start, but needs youtube playlist import Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Does what I expect it to as a music player widget, making it easy to control the playback. I'd like to see support for standard media keys, but I don't know if it's possible with Jetpack, especially in a way that supports Linux.
However, a missing crucial piece for me is the ability to open a pre-existing youtube playlist and have it play songs from it. Released albums will almost always have prepared playlists with all the songs in them already, I just want a way to play it with an easier to control UI than a tab stashed away somewhere I can't quickly turn off when a co-worker asks me a question. As it is, FIreTube gives me no way to use that, and I'd have to search painstakingly for each and every song in turn, recreating the playlist.

Audi "coup" by Thjnk
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Monday, 20 August 2012 12:18PM
The ITV Studios production will air in the autumn and feature Joly, star of Channel 4's 'Trigger Happy TV', poking fun at what it means to be British through a range of new characters and pranks.
The sponsorship, which was negotiated by MediaCom, will include broadcast, online and mobile elements and the idents will be made by TBWA/London.
The show marks the first time ITV has commissioned a full show with Joly, who came fourth in the 2010 series of 'I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here' and has appeared on ITV2 panel shows.
Lesley Stonier, senior brand manager for Aquafresh, said: "The sponsorship is a great brand fit for Aquafresh due to our reputation as great-tasting toothpaste enjoyed by all the family and our iconic red, white and blue stripes delivering a true sense of Britishness.
"It also offers the perfect, primetime platform for us to connect with our target audience and we are proud to be partnering with 'Fool Britannia' to deliver a taste of British family fun to the nation on a Saturday night."
'Fool Britannia' will be part of ITV1's Saturday night schedule, alongside 'The X Factor', which began this weekend with its lowest opening audience in six years.
GSK appointed TBWA Worldwide to handle its estimated £100m Aquafresh global advertising account in February and the business is led by TBWA/London.Follow @MaisieMcCabe

This anti-acne product is getting a lot of hype, and claims its results are as good "as a leading topical prescription", but given there are no prescription salicylic acid products for acne (salicylic acid being this product's active ingredient), it's not an apples-to-apples comparison! As it turns out, the formula has more problems than a math test, and isn't something we can recommend for those struggling with breakouts.
Chief among this product's troubles is alcohol. It's the main ingredient, and applying this smells like you're putting vodka martini on your face. It is potent! Sadly, alcohol is a problem for all skin types, and the irritation it causes can hurt skin's healing process (hello, red marks from acne that take forever to fade) and potentially cause more oil production, which, in turn, can trigger more acne. How is that an "Acne Solution"? See More Info for details on why alcohol is not a friend to skin.
Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel's active ingredient is salicylic acid, but the product's pH won't allow it to function as an exfoliant, so you're losing its chief benefit for breakout-prone skin! And if the alcohol wasn't enough of an irritant, this product also contains witch hazel for an additional astringent effect (and kick of alcohol!).
The anti-irritants Clinique included are a nice gesture, but more of a backhanded compliment given the primary problems this product presents. Really, the only good thing about it is the lack of fragrance.
Alcohol in skin-care products causes dryness and free-radical damage, and impairs the skin's ability to heal. The irritation it causes damages healthy collagen production and can stimulate oil production at the base of the pore, making oily skin worse (Sources: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, May 2012, pages 1,410–1,419; Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research, January 2011, pages 83–90; "Skin Care—From the Inside Out and Outside In," Tufts Daily, April 1, 2002; eMedicine Journal, May 8, 2002, volume 3, number 5, www.emedicine.com; Cutis, February 2001, pages 25–27; Contact Dermatitis, January 1996, pages 12–16; and http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-4/277-284.htm).
Results as good as a leading topical prescription in clearing acne. Our daily treatment gel starts clearing blemishes upon application. Helps prevent new ones from making an unwelcome appearance.
Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid 1.00% Ingredients: Alcohol Denat, Water\Aqua\Eau, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Laminaria Saccharina Extract, Sea Whip Extract, Butylene Glycol, Benzalkonium Chloride
Clinique At-A-Glance
Strengths: One of the best selections of state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums loaded with ingredients that research has shown are of great benefit to skin; excellent sunscreens; several Redness Solutions products excel; an outstanding benzoyl peroxide product; good selection of self-tanning products; some very good cleansers and eye makeup removers; some unique mattifying products; a large and wholly impressive selection of foundations, many with reliable sun protection (and shades for darker skin tones); good concealers; some remarkable mascaras; much-improved eyeshadows; loose powder; blush products; some brilliant lipsticks and lip gloss; gel eyeliner; priced lower than most competing department-store lines.
Weaknesses: The three-step skincare routine, because of the bar soaps and irritant-laden clarifying lotions; jar packaging downgrades several otherwise top-notch moisturizers; incomplete routines for those prone to acne; skin-lightening products with either unproven or insufficient levels of lightening agents.
Estee Lauder-owned Clinique's tremendous success (the company's products are sold in over 13,000 department stores and in 110 countries) reshaped the way cosmetics lines identified themselves, sending the concept of line loyalty out to pasture. Today, cosmetics companies expand their market either by buying already established companies or by creating new ones, and Lauder has been adept at doing both. Of course, cosmetics companies keep this multiple-personality identity hidden from the consumer. If the general buying public realized that these apparently different companies were so intertwined with each other, how could they flaunt their independence and claim that their unparalleled formulations are secret or the best? It's hard to think Lauder (or any company) would, even if they could, keep secrets from one branch separate from the others. And as evidenced by the formulary similarities between brands, they don't!
The niche Clinique built launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does add some fragrant extracts to a few products). Regarding allergy testing, unless you can see the results, what difference does it make if a product makes that claim? What if the test showed 20% of the women who used it had a sensitizing reaction, dryness, or irritation? Would Clinique highlight this, or is it just easier to default to the generic allergy-tested claim and leave such details out, figuring consumers won't ask for more?
Moreover, "hypoallergenic" is a term not regulated by the FDA, so any product can use the word without having to substantiate the claim. "Dermatologist tested" is also bogus, because without published test results the term can easily mean nothing more than that a dermatologist picked up the product, looked at the container, and said "This looks good." And what about the dermatologists on Clinique's payroll? How do we know they're not the ones involved in testing, rather than sending the products out for independent, impartial evaluation (though how impartial can any study be that's paid for by the company making the product)?
Clinique declined any participation for this site, which included refusing to send us copies of the allergy studies they maintain have been performed for every product they sell. We find their unwillingness to help odd because, for the most part, we genuinely like most of their products. In fact, more than any other department-store line except Estee Lauder, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums, plus some formidable makeup. They also have their act together for sunscreens and have expanded their decades-old three-step skin-care routine to include water-soluble cleansers instead of bar soap. They also now have a second "Dramatically Different" moisturizer that's well-suited for those with normal to oily skin and FINALLY reformulated their longstanding water-and-wax yellow lotion.
The Clinique consultants, dressed in medical-looking white lab coats (Clinique's image in that sense was ahead of the times given today's plethora of doctor-designed skin-care lines), do their best to speak intelligently about skin-care routines, but for the most part they're trained to sell the products rather than to provide information about what substantiated research has shown about the skin's needs to look and feel its best.
The good news for you is that the chemists behind Clinique's arsenal of products have been keeping up on this exciting information, and formulating superior products in response. We wouldn't blindly and solely bank on Clinique as your skin-care solution, but more than ever what they offer is, despite some far-out claims and problematic products, what epitomizes advanced skin care for all ages. Shop carefully and you'll leave confident that you are purchasing products with solid science, not just marketing hype, behind them.
Turning to makeup, Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially in their huge and imposing selection of foundations, many of which feature effective sunscreens. In fact, this category has become the most compelling reason to shop Clinique's makeup collection. Without a doubt the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color. The shade selection has improved considerably, with more neutrals and a broader range than ever before. You still need to use caution and watch out for peach-toned duds, but for the most part finding a natural-looking match shouldn't be a frustrating experience, and the counter personnel are happy to provide samples.
Although the foundation and powder shades take darker skin tones into account, the blush, eye pencil, and most of the lipstick shades do not. Perhaps that will change in the future, as Clinique beautifully updated their eyeshadow collection with ultra-smooth textures and deeper colors that show up on darker skin.
Compliments are also due for Clinique's updated makeup tester units. They are well-organized, labeled with product name and price, and easily accessible without a salesperson's help. And speaking of salespeople, most of the Clinique consultants we encounter go above and beyond to provide assistance and to answer any questions we had (even if we didn't always agree with their responses). Those white lab coats don't mean medical expertise, but we'll take outstanding customer service over pseudoscience any day!
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.

i really trust paula and when im going to buy something i first come here and read paula's reviews, but i bought this product before i read the review...dont know why but this really works for me..it helps.
this product works for me. I have hormonal adult acne for the most part.. got it as a trial and had to get the full size. good stuff. drying, but used only as spot treatment it's fine. definitely helps!
It comes in a very small amount for a higher price tag but it has been amazing for me. I was sceptic at first. I use the 3 step acne kit with it and also moisturizer daily. I will definitely buy this product again.
The best anti acne product for my oily skin. I'm 40 years old and I still have 'this' problem. Gel clinique not only helps to reduce spots over maximum 2 days, it's also the best solution to get rid of the scars, and dark marks after spots are gone.
Highly recommend.
Before purchasing this product I read the review on this site but also the customer reviews on the Clinique site and Amazon which is where I finally purchased the product. I have been using this and the other products in the Clinique Acne line for just over a month. I am more than happy with the results of this product, it is very strong but used sparingly works very well, not sure of why there is such a difference between positive customer results and the Beautypedia review.
I've had bad luck with dermatologist fixes. So I thought I'd give this a try. I did not look at the ingredients first.My bad! You can immediately smell the alcohol. So, I was very concerned. I seriously doubt this will help with my acne problem. If anything it will worsen the issue. That's what I think.

The new year will bring new contracting initiatives throughout government. A big case in point: The Army's forthcoming Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services, or RS3. It's one of several big, multiple-award contracts that will drive consolidation of professional services. Many more service contracts are likely to flow through vehicles like RS3 and the Navy's SeaPort E. Kevin Brancato, Senior Defense Analyst at Bloomberg Government, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to provide a broader outlook on RS3 and defense contracting in 2015.

Countries blessed and cursed with wide-open spaces continue to wrestle with the question of how to serve rural areas with broadband infrastructure. In Australia, naysayers question the viability of its National Broadband Network.
In the United States, the stimulus package included some $3.5 billion for rural development, but based on progress reports from officials at the Department of Agriculture, the broadband deployment only addressed a small portion of the demand.

Just finished up three pairs of socks that I will give to my brother and sisters for their birthdays. I lost the label for the sock on the left, the middle one is Opal, and the one on the right is Zauberball. I used my mother's recipe with 2.25mm needles.
As many of you know, I writing a knitting blog for the site StitchandUnwind.com. They asked me to write an article about the Rocky Mountain Knitting Retreat. It went live today, so I thought I would share it with you. Thanks to all who helped me with photos.
Hi Guys. If anyone is in the central part of Florida and would like to offer me safe haven from dear old mom, I would love the opportunity to sit and knit at your place. Lunch will be on me! I may need to escape her smothering...I mean mothering...for an evening or two as I have a hotel voucher I can use with the Choice Hotels.
I've been away for awhile and there's so many new faces that I thought it was called for.
I'm Ravven, I'm 29 years old (for the 17th year in a row!) Mother of 4, all grown and moved out. Grandmother of 2 and certified nutcase.
Can anyone recommend excercises for an injured left ulnar nerve? I must have injured it sleeping, and it has taken almost 12 hrs to get back some function. Thanks for any tips!
Evening All,

US general: Deal with tribe in Taliban bastion
KABUL, Afghanistan The leaders of the largest tribe in a Taliban stronghold in southern Helmand province have pledged to halt insurgent attacks and expel foreign fighters from one of the most violent spots in the country, the senior U.S. Marine general in Afghanistan said Monday
Marine Maj. Gen. Richard Mills, who commands coalition forces in the southwest, said the deal was struck between local elders in the Sangin district and Helmand Governor Gulabuddin Mangal with the consultation of coalition forces. The area has witnessed some of the heaviest fighting of the war.
However it is unlikely that the violence will cease immediately in Sangin as the die-hard Taliban leadership under the command of Mullah Mohammad Omar, which is based in the Pakistani city of Quetta, will keep fighting.
But the cooperation of the tribal leaders in the effort to rid the area of insurgents could help shorten the war in one of the most violent places in Afghanistan.
In the past four years, more than 100 British troops died in Sangin and more than a dozen Marine have lost their lives since their deployment in mid-October. Getting local tribal elders to renounce the Taliban and join the political process has been a key part of the U.S. counterinsurgency plan in Afghanistan.
As part of the deal, Mills said "there was also a pledge from the elders that fighting would cease by insurgents against coalition forces and foreign fighters would be expelled from the area."
He added that "we are cautiously optimistic of this agreement and will monitor whether it leads to reduced insurgent influence and a rejection of illicit activity."
With the nearly decade-old war growing increasing unpopular in the United States and in many NATO capitals, success on the battlefield is an important part of President Barack Obama's plan to begin a gradual withdrawal of American forces in July 2011, and eventually hand over control of the country's security to the Afghans by the end of 2014.
The war is also very costly at a time when the U.S. is slowly starting to emerge from recession. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the United States spent an average of $5.4 billion a month in Afghanistan in the budget year that ended in September, and the total cost since the war began stands at $336 billion.
The deal was made with the Alikozai tribe, the largest in the Sarwan-Qalah area of the Upper Sangin Valley. The tribe controls the majority of the 30 villages located in a 17-square-kilometer region, said Mangal spokesman Daoud Ahmadi. The tribe last rose up against the Taliban in 2007 but failed because of a lack of resources and coalition help.
Sangin is a strategic region for the Taliban and one they do not want to lose. It is a key crossroads to funnel drugs, weapons and fighters throughout Helmand and into neighboring Kandahar province, the spiritual heartland of the Taliban. It is also one of the last remaining sanctuaries in Helmand where the Taliban can freely process the opium and heroin that largely fund the insurgency.

This four-and-half mile private racetrack in the California desert allows supercar owners the ability to experience their supercars at top speeds.
Imagine that you've just purchased your first $250,000 supercar. It's sleek. It's sexy. It can go from 0-60 in three seconds. And it has a top speed of 220 miles per hour.
Now imagine trying to drive that car on an actual road. Traffic. Potholes. Bad drivers. Speed cameras and police with Ferrari envy.
In short, the idea of owning a supercar is often better than the reality.
"Buying these cars is kind of like buying a tuxedo, and the expectation is as a result of owning a tuxedo that you're going go to the party," said Tom O'Gara, a top supercar dealer in Beverly Hills, California. "You know, but a lot of times the party never comes."
O'Gara, however, is joining a new kind of party. It's called The Thermal Club. And it promises to give supercar owners a chance to experience their supercars to the fullest—and be part of an elite country club at the same time.
Thermal is a four-and-a-half-mile private racetrack in the California desert town of La Quinta that will be a $120 million playground for wealthy car owners and their families. (For the non-car lovers in the family, the club will include a spa, pool, kids' center and plenty of fine dining.)
Membership costs $85,000 for an individual or $200,000 for a corporate membership. You also have to own land around the track. That will cost you between $400,000 to more than $800,000 per lot, depending on how close the property is to the track.
Members are then expected to build "garage villas"—fancy homes for your cars that could include elevators, viewing rooms and data centers to check your track times. Some villas are expected to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, in addition to the land price—hence, the $1 million garage.

DorobekInsider: Leadership or management — that is the question?
Monday - 8/24/2009, 2:34pm EDT
Does the government need leadership? Or better management? And where should the focus be?
I write a monthly column in AFCEA's Signal magazine. My column in the August issue is headlined:
Trite But True: It All Comes Down to Leadership
Good leadership is transformational and is different from management
In the column, I note that I did a Amazon.com search for books about leadership, and it probably will not surprise anyone that my search came up with 348,433 hits. So on one level, we understand it—leadership is important. And I went on to tell the story about EPA's Jeremy Ames, who did the first government open contest — in this case, for people who created a public service announcement around radon gas. (See the videos from here.) And I noted in the column that the great thing about the videos is that then EPA CIO Molly O'Neill and then EPA Deputy Administrator Marcus Peacock didn't know it was going on. My conclusion was that was a demonstration of transformation at EPA — the fact that people felt safe enough to try something out that could change the way the organization does business — it seems very powerful to me.
As I said, you can read the full column here.
Alan Balutis [PDF bio], the director and distinguished fellow for Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group, sent me a note soon after that column was published in which he asked if he could take exception to my column. I told him I was thrilled that the column spurred a discussion — and, in fact, we will start that discussion — Allan gets to disagree with me publicly Tuesday at 10a ET on Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Government IT Solutions Spotlight… and in the October issue of Signal magazine.
UPDATE: Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Government IT Solutions Spotlight program with Balutis is now posted online. You can hear the conversation here.
His arguement: There is way too much focus on leadership — and not nearly enough focus on management. To that end, Balutis did an Amazon.com search about management and found 105,818 hits – less than a third of those on leadership.
As government programs and agencies today have become more complex, the ability to make them work has diminished. As we review the government landscape today, it is littered with failures: FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina, the Food and Drug Administration's inability to stop dangerous foods from reaching dining tables, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's not keeping lead-painted toys out of stores, the collapse of financial markets, outrageous Ponzi schemes, and on and on. Are these failures of leadership? There might be an element of that. But, more likely, they are failures of management; they are failures to execute.
We'll continue this conversation tomorrow morning, and while I don't think Balutis's point necessarily distracts from the need for good leadership, it doesn't mean that management isn't absoluteely essential — and perhaps way too overlooked.
