Stars recount favorite summer experiences
The heat is on! I cornered some celebs and asked about their fondest summer memories, as kids and adults.
Mine would be our family's train trips to Bauang, La Union (when my late grandpa, Nicanor Jimenez, or Nich, was general manager of the Philippine National Railways). After a few days down at the beach, we would drive up to Baguio. As an adult, it would be the summer I studied in Paris with my cousin Kara. We lived with a French family and immersed ourselves in everything the City of Light had to offer.
Whatever your summer plans are, make sure you bring your own brand of sunshine wherever you go, your Royal Hotnesses!
Eugene Domingo
My summers as a child were days of playing outdoor games like patintero, habulan, taguan, tumbang preso, etc., and spending money on sorbetes (dirty ice cream), halo-halo and all kinds of street food. I enjoyed summer more as a kid. As an adult, I guess I should learn to ignore the scorching heat and enjoy the beach instead, get a good tan—without forgetting to wear sun block.
Christian Bautista
As a kid, when my family and I went to Ocean Park in Hong Kong. Cable cars, slides, rides… As an adult, when I went to Boracay with my family, too, but it was more fun because my cousins joined us.
Vivian Velez
As a kid, it's hanging out with playmates and just being silly. As an adult, it's traveling. Europe's summer sale is a must!
Nyoy Volante
Sometimes in the middle of summer, there would be a storm. As a kid, I enjoyed bathing in the rain and playing till my mom called me home. As an adult, it has to be reminiscing on fun summers as a kid.
Arnell Ignacio
I remember almost drowning in Puerto Galera. People thought I was kidding because they said I was smiling. Only a foreigner made an accurate assessment of the situation and jumped in to save me.
Ara Mina
As a kid, I used to stay with my lola and play patintero and tumbang preso with my cousins. I also remember climbing trees. But I was not one to roam the streets; I just played inside our compound in Santolan (Quezon City). We used to play Little Miss Philippines. My eldest cousin played the host, others were judges and the little ones like me were the contestants. As an adult, it's my trip to Phi Phi Island (Thailand) where "The Beach" was filmed.
Sister pact
What better time than Semana Santa to make peace? After the terrible word war between sisters Ara Mina and Cristine Reyes, they have buried the hatchet. Sisterhood should always be a good thing. Here's Ara's story:
"Cristine texted me on Maundy Thursday, asked if we could talk. I replied on Good Friday; she came to my place and we had a long heart-to-heart talk. She admitted she was wrong. We cried together. We feel closer now). She met my boyfriend, Pat. We vowed to have a bonding day weekly. On Easter Sunday, we went to church with the family."
Personal: Happy second anniversary to my fave "pampering place," Oskee Cabeltis Salon (in the same building as Club Mwah along Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong). Thanks a mil to Tito Oskee and his efficient staff for being the best friends of my "dalaGAY" IC's hair and mine as well. HAIRiffic service!

Silk Road economic belt proposal
ALMATY, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- The creation of an economic belt stretching along the ancient Silk Road coincides with Kazakhstan's foreign policy, says a Kazakh expert on international issues.
Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the idea during his recent visit to Central Asia, eyeing the the cultural revival of the Silk Road, which historically links China with Central Asia and Europe, as a way of developing political and economic ties.
Elnara Baynazarova told Xinhua that her country's foreign policy adheres to the concept of Kazakhstan being at the heart of Eurasia, the state connecting Western and Eastern values, and a bridge for communication between the two civilizations...
... It will first boost the development of the country's small towns and peripheral regions that will stand at the junctions of the main transport routes, she said, adding that it may help build more economic infrastructure in Kazakhstan's remote areas and create new jobs.
Moreover, the construction of the highway linking Western China and Western Europe could provide additional funds to Kazakhstan's state budget by imposing special fares for travel, registration of passengers and freight cargo, she said...
/... http://www.neurope.eu/article/kazakh-expert-hails-silk-road-economic-belt-proposal
Oh yeah. China & Central Eurasia closer, on the ground, to Western Europe. Cough. Interesting...
... Toll roads have existed for at least the last 2,700 years, as tolls had to be paid by travellers using the SusaBabylon highway under the regime of Ashurbanipal, who reigned in the 7th century BC. Aristotle and Pliny refer to tolls in Arabia and other parts of Asia. In India, before the 4th century BC, the Arthasastra notes the use of tolls. Germanic tribes charged tolls to travellers across mountain passes. Tolls were used in the Holy Roman Empire in the 14th and 15th centuries.
A 14th-century example (though not for a road) is Castle Loevestein in the Netherlands, which was built at a strategic point where two rivers meet, and charged tolls on boats sailing along the river.
Many modern European roads were originally constructed as toll roads in order to recoup the costs of construction, maintenance and as a source of tax money that is paid primarily by someone other than the local residents. In 14th-century England, some of the most heavily used roads were repaired with money raised from tolls by pavage grants. Wide spread toll roads sometimes restricted traffic so much, by their high tolls, that they interfered with trade and cheap transportation needed to alleviate local famines or shortages... - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll_road

It's the scale of the NSA's alleged surveillance that's worrying
...The head of the European parliament delegation, British MEP Claude Moraes, told the BBC it was the scale of the NSA's alleged surveillance that was worrying.
"The headline news, that 35 leaders had their phones tapped is not the real crux of the issue," he said.
"It really is the El Mundo type story, that millions of citizens of countries... had their landlines and other communications tapped. So it's about mass surveillance. It's about scale and proportionality."
He said a priority of the European mission was to discuss the impact of American spying on EU citizens' fundamental right to privacy.
The BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris says that with every new allegation, demands are growing in Europe - and in Germany in particular - for explanations and for guarantees of a change in culture...
According to certain prolific and persistent voices here at DU, to expect such a culture-change from the rulers over the already supine US people would be... what, naïve?

Nice. If you have potatoes you can always fill
the stomach, ward off the pangs of the Great Hunger(*)...
I'd also recommend preparing a mash or purée by steaming the chunks of potato together with the chopped onion plus things like carrot, brocoli, whatever if you have veg. Maybe add some herbs, bay leaf (laurel), mint...
Steam (keeps in more nutrients & more flavor) to the minimum point where the veg. is still quite firm but mashable. Mash with lashings of butter (or olive oil) and, yes, salt & black pepper. Maybe some nutmeg.
For more protein mix in the contents of a small can of tuna, perhaps in a tomato sauce...
(*) - Clay is the word and clay is the flesh
Where the potato-gatherers like mechanised scarecrows move
Along the side-fall of the hill - Maguire and his men.
If we watch them an hour is there anything we can prove
Of life as it is broken-backed over the Book
Of Death? Here crows gabble over worms and frogs
And the gulls like old newspapers are blown clear of the hedges, luckily.
Is there some light of imagination in these wet clods?
Or why do we stand here shivering? ...
... We will wait and watch the tragedy to the last curtain,
Till the last soul passively like a bag of wet clay
Rolls down the side of the hill, diverted by the angles
Where the plough missed or a spade stands, straitening the way.
A dog lying on a torn jacket under a heeled-up cart,
A horse nosing along the posied headland, trailing
A rusty plough. Three heads hanging between wide-apart legs.
October playing a symphony on a slack wire paling...
... A man is what is written on the label.
And the passing world stares but no one stops
To look closer. So back to the growing crops
And the ridges he never loved.
Nobody will ever know how much tortured poetry the pulled weeds on the ridge wrote
Before they withered in the July sun,
Nobody will ever read the wild, sprawling, scrawling mad woman's signature,
The hysteria and the boredom of the enclosed nun of his thought.
Like the afterbirth of a cow stretched on a branch in the wind
Life dried in the veins of these women and men:
'The grey and grief and unloved,
The bones in the backs of their hands,
And the chapel pressing its low ceiling over them.
Sometimes they did laugh and see the sunlight,
A narrow slice of divine instruction.
Going along the river at the bend of Sunday
The trout played in the pools encouragement
To jump in love though death bait the hook.
And there would be girls sitting on the grass banks of lanes.
Stretch-legged and lingering staring -
A man might take one of them if he had the courage.
But 'No' was in every sentence of their story
Except when the public-house came in and shouted its piece.
The yellow buttercups and the bluebells among the whin bushes
On rocks in the middle of ploughing
Was a bright spoke in the wheel
Of the peasant's mill.
The goldfinches on the railway paling were worth looking at -
A man might imagine then
Himself in Brazil and these birds the birds of paradise
And the Amazon and the romance traced on the school map lived again.
Talk in evening corners and under trees
Was like an old book found in a king's tomb.
The children gathered round like students and listened
And some of the saga defied the draught in the open tomb
And was not blown...

War of words between Ministers and Britain's energy suppliers over rising costs
(There has been) a marked escalation in the war of words between Ministers and Britain's energy suppliers over the rising cost in household gas and electricity bills...
... Insiders at the Department for Energy and Climate Change added that ministers are confused why British Gas argues that delivering social and environmental policies accounts for £50 of the £107 increase announced on standard tariffs.
A week ago Scottish & Southern Energy claimed the same policies account for £15 of the £106 increase it announced. One insider said: "Customers seem to be paying an awful lot now for costs British Gas may incur next year."
The fallout from the price rise continued on Friday as price comparison websites revealed a spike in the number of people wanting to switch energy suppliers...

... Co-Operative Energy said (their) increase equated to an extra £4.78 a month for an average dual fuel customer, who it said would now pay £1,315 a year - but this was still £87 a year less than a British Gas bill, according to figures from the owner of the latter, Centrica...
... While Scottish Power, E.ON, EDF and npower are yet to announce any rises ahead of the coming winter, British Gas confirmed on Thursday it was hiking electricity bills by 10.4% and gas tariffs by 8.4%, affecting 7.8 million households. The previous week, SSE announced it was hitting seven million customers with an 8.2% rise on average.
Both blamed a combination of Government green levies and rising energy costs for the increases.
British Gas said the profits it made were crucial in funding investments but Centrica also paid £816m shareholder dividends last year, a rise of 7%. Co-operative Energy is wholly-owned by customers and shares out surplus profits among members...

Energy prices: keeping the lights on
The need to reduce fuel poverty must be balanced against the dangerous surge of opposition to green levies
The Guardian, Friday 18 October 2013 21.42 BST
The cost of energy has captured the political headlines this week. Not surprising when two of the big six companies announced price rises of between 8% and 10%. But the bills that will be landing on every householder's doormat shortly are only the (very) sharp end of a great political dilemma. Now the failure to get to grips with the big strategic issues of decarbonising supply while keeping the lights on and the costs down has left politicians facing the risk that any action to soften the blow for consumers is likely to make tackling the strategic decisions more difficult. There is a dangerous surge of opposition to green levies, while families on tight budgets face real hardship.
The coalition's answer to voters' mounting anger is to increase the number of suppliers and force the big six to offer every customer their cheapest tariff. Labour, in a significant and sensible retreat from its former enthusiasm for deregulation, proposes a limited price freeze. Contrary to its critics' cries heralding the return of state socialism, its purpose is to create a space to "reset" the market. That means introducing an alternative to the current model of vertical integration, which allows the big six companies who generate, trade and supply energy the scope to be less than transparent about where they're making their profits. The companies' response to Ed Miliband's proposal was to warn that they might not be able to keep the lights on. That makes it even more important that the regulator, Ofgem, is reformed and strengthened (or, if necessary, replaced) so that it becomes a robustly independent body that has the muscle to stand up to the suppliers and possibly even to limit price rises the way that Ofwat, for example, has the power to do in the water industry.
This is a matter of real urgency. It's two years since a report from the LSE academic John Hills on the impact of fuel poverty defined as households spending more than 10% of their budget on energy found that without some intervention, by 2016 more than 8 million people would be having to trade off living at lower temperatures against paying for other necessities. The report estimated that, each winter, fuel poverty is to blame for up to one-tenth of the 27,000 excess deaths, as well as uncounted costs in doctor and hospital visits. In this context, the energy secretary Ed Davey's advice on Newsnight on Thursday night to put on a jumper is absurdly distant from an adequate answer. It's the personal equivalent of the coalition's green deal, where loans are advanced by the private sector and costs recouped through savings in bills have, according to figures released last month, been taken up by just 12 households. This is a pathetic response to the need to get serious about reducing demand. It doesn't take much to make a difference: basic measures of cavity wall and loft insulation can take hundreds of pounds off fuel bills. Successive governments have invested too little in overly complex and very limited schemes, when what's needed is a radical programme of retrofitting the country's housing stock.
But the most complex challenge is to achieve market reforms that incentivise a decarbonised supply and that means paying for new nuclear as well as renewable energy. At the moment, the green component of domestic energy bills is predicted to be around 40% by 2030. Replacing coal-fired generation means big private-sector investment of the sort George Osborne appears, controversially, to have secured from China this week and that won't happen unless returns look assured. Yet assuring returns for nuclear that would extend for up to 40 years could turn into a public-spending albatross if cheaper energy sources like shale gas come on line. At the moment, too much of the risk of getting it wrong falls on consumers. Yet when energy is a question of national security, it is time for a body providing impartial, expert analysis an energy commission.

BEIJING | Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:00pm BST (Reuters) - Britain opened the door to Chinese investors taking majority stakes in future nuclear plants on Thursday as Chancellor George Osborne signed a deal aimed at helping find the billions of pounds needed to replace the country's ageing reactors.
On a visit to China, Osborne said the two countries had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on nuclear cooperation that included roles for British companies in China's nuclear sector, which is the fastest growing in the world.
"While any initial Chinese stake in a nuclear power project is likely to be a minority stake, over time stakes in subsequent new power stations could be majority stakes," a statement from the UK Treasury said...

... This month one of the countrys most senior judges, Lord Neuberger, president of the Supreme Court, praised the Mail for exposing the secret jailing of Mrs Maddocks by the court, which was set up in 2007 under Labours Mental Capacity Act.
It gave the State draconian powers to intervene in the lives of those deemed unfit to look over their own affairs.
The Mail highlighted Miss Maddockss shock when police arrived at her father Johns care home to cart her off to jail. She had been sentenced in secret for disobeying court orders by trying to remove him from the home. She served six weeks.
The case forced Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, to order that no one else should ever be jailed in private without the sentence and reasons for it being announced outside the closed courtroom...

...(T)he mid-1980s closure of the mental hospitals by Thatcher was a key pathway change, opening up the possibility for a more responsive third wave post asylum system with enhanced social and participative rights. While this possibility was initially signalled by the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act, there was quickly an assertion of controlling imperatives in the wake of high profile carnage in the community cases of killings by mental health users such Christopher Clunis (1996) and Michael Stone (1996)... New Labour measures have had a contradictory impact. Though elements of a third wave emphasis on social and participative rights can be detected, this is countered by a coercive communitarian approach that has produced the 2007 MHA. Since the 1998 Human Rights Act (HRA) is restricted largely to CP rights, the denial of which is actually sanctioned by the ECHR, it does not offer enormous scope for improving mental health...
... The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 created real difficulties for the government as it emphasises that treatment should be voluntary where people have capacity. It enshrines principles such as self-determination and informed consent, and enables people to state future treatment wishes in advance of losing competency. The Mental Health Foundation had wanted this to be incorporated in the Act, but instead it is simply referred to in the Code of Practice. While competent patients may refuse treatment for physical ill health, treatment for mental ill-health may be legally imposed, subject to second opinion procedures. There is a strong case to be made that separate mental health legislation is inherently discriminatory, and some propose a merger with incapacity legislation to ensure consistent ethical principles across medical law (Dawson and Szmukler, 2006). A systematic review of research into mental capacity found that a majority of psychiatric in-patients have capacity (Okai et al., 2007).
Finally, debates around mental health and human rights have primarily focused on those compulsorily detained. This arguably diverts attention away from two other groups. First, those who may be informally treated, but as we have seen are subject to discrimination and even abuse in the mental health services and wider society (Thornicroft, 2006). Second, the expansion of prisons in a law and order society has arguably led to reinstitutionalisation, with ONS statistics suggesting that 90 per cent of prisoners have at least one mental disorder (APPGPH, 2006)...

Excessive negativity is unhelpful, though. Both approaches
will surely become inevitable:
1. Produce/Consume less and more efficiently;
2. Manage population levels down, over time, through such liberal methods as recognising women's right to choose;
3. Redeploy the creative as well as destructive energy and inspìration that is a such powerful motor of today's economy - the military-industrial complex - away from attempting to achieve full-spectrum dominance of what is and always will be a multi-polar, multi-cultural planet towards new very relevant goals such as in-depth solar-system exploration and exploitation and defending the biosphere of this planet from the consequences of hits from flying rocks!

Imagine this front-page NY Times headline: Four leading physicians state that, in all likelihood, the shooter was on one of the SSRI antidepressants, which can and do push people over into violence, including murder.
Sub-head: The doctors vow to press the authorities until they get to the bottom of the psychiatric-homicide connection.
Sure. Thats going to happen when a rooster flies a spaceship to the Orion Belt...

Yes. This is the heart of the matter.
... Basel III and the new bail-in rules. Basel III is slated to impose crippling capital requirements on public, cooperative and community banks, coercing their sale to large multinational banks.
The bail-in template was first tested in Cyprus and follows regulations imposed by the FSB in 2011. Too-big-to-fail banks are required to draft living wills setting forth how they will avoid insolvency in the absence of government bailouts. The FSB solution is to bail in creditors including depositors turning deposits into bank stock, effectively confiscating them...
A massive, on an historical scale, extraction of financial sovereignty (and therefore economic and therefore political power) from the People and its concentration, after much manipulation, in the hands of a ('chosen') Few.
I would be very surprised (although delighted) to see the current US administration (or those in the 'shadows' behind it) deviate from this course.
They just need to keep the 'right' Generals, Intelligence Chiefs, etc. 'on board'.
(P.S. Please forgive my perhaps 'excessive' use of quotation marks around terms... Our language is being so much abused by the propaganda machine employed in the service of the above that it appears to me necessary to highlight those terms the real and the propagandised meanings of which are worth thinking about.)

Food Wastage is third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after the United States and China
... Food that is produced but then thrown away before being eaten causes not only economic losses of nearly £500 billion every year, but also affects the climate, water, land and biodiversity... "Without accounting for greenhouse gas emissions from land use change, the carbon footprint of food produced and not eaten is estimated at 3.3 Gigatonnes (billion tonnes) of CO2 equivalent: as such, food wastage ranks as the third top emitter after the USA and China."
The report also reveals that uneaten food occupies 1.4 billion hectares of land - about 30 percent of the world's agricultural land area, and that rotting food is a large producer of the power greenhouse gas methane...
... Alongside the study, the FAO has also published recommendations on how to reduce food waste all along the food chain, and has provided case studies of projects around the world aiming to address the problem.
/... http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-09/15/food-waste
11 September 2013, Rome - The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself, says a new FAO report.
Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity.
Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.
And beyond its environmental impacts, the direct economic consequences to producers of food wastage (excluding fish and seafood) run to the tune of $750 billion annually, FAO's report estimates.
"All of us - farmers and fishers; food processors and supermarkets; local and national governments; individual consumers -- must make changes at every link of the human food chain to prevent food wastage from happening in the first place, and re-use or recycle it when we can't," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva...

BearMotion vs. Smart Cover + Zum Sc Ultimate?
It feels like the 2 item combo looks better aesthetically, but costs a lot more. I do like the kickstand function and stability during kickstand that bear motion cover provides. The bad thing about bear motion is that it only comes in black or brown. I want to get a white iPad 2 3g, but the black or brown leather might ruin the aesthetic look of the white iPad! What should I do guys? Go cheap or go expensive??
|Oct 2, 2011, 07:31 PM
Can't comment on the functionality of either item. However, I have a polycarbonate back cover with a leather skin from Bear Motion. It was very difficult to get the iPad 2 to fit, but once on it is both attractive and very protective.
I mention it because I purchased it at an introductory price of $3. I couldn't get the case to fit and wrote a negative review on Amazon. Within hours I was contacted by Bear Motion who offered to send me another case. When that one had the same problem (at least for me), they sent me a third case after testing it to be sure that particular example could be fitted to an iPad 2. None of this cost me a cent.
I was perfectly willing to let it go. After all, it was just $3. But the folks at Bear Motion wouldn't hear of it. They kept at it until I was completely satisfied. I've literally never had a company so devoted to my meeting my needs, especially for such a paltry purchase.
Thus, I would not hesitate to recommend their products. If you're not happy, they'll make you happy. And as you probably have seen by the reviews on Amazon, those who've bought the case you're considering are happy with their purchase.
|Oct 3, 2011, 03:42 AM
Wow that's awesome. It just feels like the leather would ruin the nice white bezel on the the iPad

I decided to try this not expecting anything. Well my pores look smaller after just one mask! I always have yogurt in the house, so I plan to use this often. Wow! I can't use most masks because they make me break out. What a nice surprise. This really is the best site for information!

Okay, I'm giving this 4 lippies at the moment because its cheap, it feels nice when you put the cool yogurt on, and so far, I've only done it once but I'm starting to see a difference! My pale skin looks less sickly and a few pimples I have are looking much less red! I only gave it 4 because its a little hard to get off, but it will definitely gain back that little lippie if I keep seeing results, as I am DEFINITELY going to try this again!
I'll update later, thanks!

I absolutely love plain yogurt as a facial mask. I use whatever plain yogurt I happen to have in my fridge: Greek, regular, full-fat, low-fat, fat-free. I don't add any other ingredients because my skin is very sensitive and even plain honey as a mask irritates it. In fact, I was wary of trying the yogurt mask because I'd had no luck with the honey mask, but my skin loves a plain yogurt mask. I apply it to dry, clean skin, leave it on for about ten minutes, and then remove it with a damp washcloth. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. My skin looks plumper (in a good way--not swollen!), and blackheads and large pores seem less noticeable. I try to use this once a week, though I don't always remember or have plain yogurt on hand. This is one of the few home remedies that works for my sensitive skin, and I can't rave enough about it.

Yesterday, something in my fridge saved me a great deal of pain and embarrassment when it came to my skin. I love you, Fage Complete Greek yogurt!
I am currently using the potent product called Acne Stop ( 10% salicylic acid/ 5% lactic acid ). I applied it to my face with a cotton round, and then without thinking, I started putting it on my neck (dumb, I know, but I use toner after cleansing, so force of habit). My face felt the normal sting, but the pain felt on my neck was unbearable. I flushed the skin under cold water for a few minutes, but it didn't help the hurt or redness. Next, I applied some milk-soaked cotton rounds, but my skin still looked awful. I had to leave the house in 30 minutes, so in a final act of desperation, I slathered Fage Complete all over my neck. I left it on for about 15-20 minutes. It felt wonderful- so cooling and soothing. When I rinsed it off, I was amazed....my skin looked as if nothing had ever happened. Redness and pain gone, and it was even smoother and creamier to boot.
This was not the first time I've used yogurt ask a mask; I've made asprin/Fage masks before, and I always love the results. It leaves my skin very smooth and bright. My skin is on the oily side and can be clog prone, and the mask helps loosen the junky stuff so it can be easily extracted. It is very moisturizing, so I think that a plain Fage mask would be great for dry skin. Also, this would be ideal for soothing sunburn. After seeing how it helped my skin yesterday, I had to write a review. I buy it at Kroger or Target, and besides doing great things for my skin, it tastes divine (IMO). Give this a go next time your skin acts up. continued >>

I generally try to avoid masks because I've had allergic reactions in the past, but I decided to try the yogurt mask last night. I used fat free greek style yogurt (it's much thicker than normal yogurt, and stayed on really well) mixed with some honey. The mask ended up making me feel slightly dry (although it wasn't dry enough to bother me), but it also left my face feeling tighter, evened out my skin tone, and reduced the acne I had. Needless to say I shall be working this into my routine.

After reading the reviews here, I tried it and it works! My skin feels softer, and pores are smaller. The skin also looks brighter. I mix 2 teaspoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 tea spoon flour (or as much as needed). The flour helps the yogurt mixture to stay on my face without running. I mix flour into the yogurt to get the consistency of sour cream and it stays on my face perfectly.

One of my coworkers told me that when he got a sunburn while on a cruise, he was given plain yogurt to apply to the burn. He said it really worked, so I tried this a couple of weeks ago when my face was red, dry and irritated (which was most likely due to the extreme cold and using a strong cleanser). I just put on a thin layer of plain yogurt and let it sit for about 5 minutes. When I rinsed it off, my skin felt so much better and the dry patches were gone. I make my own yogurt, so this is an incredibly inexpensive way to take care of my skin.

I use this mask from time to time,and it is really good mask,but nothing miracle.Anyway,it is a way better and gives me more effect than so many store-brand masks I've ever tried.It really calms my oily but sensitive skin down.I use yogurt with lemon juice,honey,You name it.And it really gives me some glow and more even skin tone.But nothing dramatic.Best way to use yougurt as a mask is with Aspirin.Awsome.This is miracle and did wonders for my skin.
Oh yes,yesterday I burnt my cheeks by using wet wash cloth wich was too hot,and I put some yogurt on my burnt/red cheeks and Yogurt calm my irritation right away.I think this is the best natural SHOOTING product You will ever use on Your face.

I have very dry-sensitive skin. I can't use any regular store product due to most of them having so many chemicals so usually for the most part they all make me break in a horrible face rash so I decided to lookup in here for something more natural and I came across the yogurt mask..I use the Organic Greek Plain Yogurt and WAO!!! The results are amazing...I had a rash on my face due to using some makeup remover face wipes and by using the yogurt as a mask it made all the redness go away. I leave it on for about 10-15 mins. And then remove it using a washcloth and my face feels smooth, refreshed and even...This stuff can really even out my skin something than no other product has been able to do. My makeup looks even better on after using yogurt as a mask. I also at times use some raw honey with it and it feels good too. The only thing I'm not to keen about this is the smell it kind of smells like having sour cream on my face but because of the results I am more than ok to keep using it. I don't think I would ever buy store products again as long as I have this. I'll update if anything changes.

I have sensitive, oily skin that's under treatment for all-over acne (blackheads, whiteheads, comodones, cystic, you name it and I've had it in the past 3 months.) Skin board rec'd this after I asked whether the pricey probiotic moisturizer the spa rec'd me was worth it. So since I had some greek yogurt in the fridge anyway, I tried it that night...mixed some up w/some lemon juice and slathered it on after my shower, and left it for about 10-15 minutes. I can't tell after one use if it'll have any long-term effects, but after rinsing my skin seemed very calm and soothed and felt like velvet :) I also noticed that some of my flakeys were reduced.
I think I'll keep doing this just cause it feels nice, it's inexpensive (I always have yogurt around anyway), and my skin seems to like it.

My attempts at finding a suitable coder were frustrated at best and the one hire I did try merely lept off to do other coding jobs that paid more. I had no intent to sell this mod / charge for its download as feel sad that I dont intend to finish it at this stage.

Weiss can't get near his Azkals bench in Game 2
BANGKOK—Philippines coach Michael Weiss will be barred from the technical area for his team's clash with Vietnam on Tuesday in the aftermath of his dismissal in the 1-2 loss to Thailand at the start of Group A play in the AFF Suzuki Cup here.
Weiss was sent to the stands in the 80th minute after nonchalantly throwing the ball at the fallen Thai player Anucha Kitpongsri, who went down after an aerial battle with leftback Dennis Cagara.
Weiss insisted he was merely trying "to roll the ball" to the spot so play could start immediately as the Azkals were trying to rally from a goal down.
"It was not intentional," said Weiss, who was penalized after his squad just cut the deficit to 1-2 in the 77th minute.
Warned several times for resenting calls and noncalls earlier, Weiss finally got the goat of Japanese referee Ryuji Sato, who banished him to the bleachers for what the official deemed was a misconduct.
It was a bruising encounter as the Thais gamely turned the physicality of the game up a notch with some rough challenges.
"I think the officiating is a bit too much pro-Thai," said Weiss, who will be confined to the bleachers again and barred from the Azkals' dugout in the Vietnam match.
"There were times when the Thais were a little naughty when it came to the physical play," said defender Rob Gier.
One elbow that Weiss felt should have gotten more than a yellow card was the one thrown by Thai superstar Teerasil Dangda in the 65th minute.
Dangda elbowed Juani Guirado, but got away with just a booking while leaving the Fil-Spanish defender with a busted lip.
"In all my years as a player, this is my first time I got hit like this," said Guirado. "It should have been a red card, no question about it."

Informix has announced a strategic alliance with Applied Data Resource
Management (ADRM) to develop industry-specific data models to provide
packaged analytic components for business intelligence and e-business
analytics. The alliance was originally discussed with Ardent Software
before their merger with Informix. ADRM currently supports over 10 industries
with 23 lines of business and 30 subject areas, which they refer to as
"data environments".
current client list includes the U.S. Navy, Kraft Foods, and New York
Life. The first package to be released by Informix was announced at SAP's
SAPPHIRE conference in Las Vegas this month, and is aimed at the consumer
packaged goods industry. The demonstration was conducted using Ardent's
DataStage product, an Oracle database, and Brio as a front-end query tool.
the past few years, the Internet economy has impacted nearly every industry.
To effectively compete in business-to-consumer and business-to-business
Web-driven markets, organizations require powerful analytic architectures
that enable them to transform corporate data into useful information,"
said Pete Fiore, vice president and general manager, i.Intelligence business
group, Informix. "With these packaged analytic offerings, Informix is
making it easier and more efficient to deploy the type of industry-specific
information architecture that companies will need for competitive advantage
in their markets."
these highly customizable and flexible sets of components, organizations
will have faster, increased access to their data resources, enabling them
to better recognize and address the market needs of their specific industries,"
added Mikael Wipperfeld, vice president, i.Intelligence business group,
The move towards vertical market templates by Informix mirrors the efforts
being made by Sybase to penetrate specific industries with pre-defined
("canned") applications which can be quickly implemented to provide rapid
return on investment. The packages also support standard query and reporting
tools, including Informix's Visionary data visualization tool (see "A
Visionary of Loveliness", April 20, 2000 for more information).
the new Internet economy, quick turnaround on IT initiatives to provide
business intelligence has proven to be a key to success. Informix's attempt
to speed implementation in vertical markets is a necessary move in order
to continue to compete for business with Internet-centric firms. Their
initial effort is aimed at consumer packaged goods, but they intend to
offer other verticals in the near future (retail and telecommunications
are scheduled for the summer of 2000). These will also be linked to the
SAP platform since Informix's Ardent DataStage product already has the
capability to read from SAP and write to SAP BW (SAP's Business Information
Warehouse). (For further details on this product see "Ardent
Software Enters the SAP Data Extraction Market", September 13, 1999).
Companies in the packaged consumer goods industry may be able to realize
very quick return on investment with this product. Potential customers
in other vertical markets should discuss the possibility of adding support
for their industry to the product suite. It is often common for vendors
to add functionality only when requested by a potential customer, so it
is not wise to wait and see if your particular vertical is added.
the software vendor world, it is typically "ask and ye shall receive (maybe)".
In addition, customers may be able to negotiate a reduction in the price
of the software if they provide assistance in the development of the vertical
analytics for their industry. Informix will undoubtedly sell the model
to other customers, so it is also in their interest to team with the company
to develop the software.

Michigan Commit Jabrill Peppers Breaks 9 Tackles During Ridiculous TD Run (Video)
by Glenn Erby | Posted on Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
If Jabrill Peppers is this good at running back, I can only imagine what kind of cornerback he's going to be.
In the video courtesy of Bleacher Report, the Michigan recruit put his amazing athletic ability on display during this 30 yard touchdown scamper from a scrimmage over the weekend
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound 5-star recruit from Paramus Catholic High School, has many reminiscing back to the days of Charles Wooden being a two-way player in Ann Arbor.

Clarifying the calls for clarification
|05.03.10 at 7:49 pm ET
CLEVELAND — Cavs coach Mike Brown raised a few eyebrows when he suggested that the foul Shaquille O'Neal put on Rajon Rondo late in the game was actually not a foul, and that he asked for clarification from the league. It turns out that Brown was actually referring to a different Shaq foul on Rondo from the second quarter.
The act of asking the league to clarify calls in a specific game is a time-honored ritual for coaches during playoff series.Doc Rivers said he asked the league about four different calls. "I'm scared to tell you which ones because I may get fined for it," Rivers said before Game 2. "They said I was right."

The Fatherhood of God from Origen to Athanasius.
Origen and Athanasius constitute the end points of W.'s analysis because what is actually being described in the book is the doctrine of the fatherhood of God in Alexandrian theology. Origen, it is argued, establishes a theology of fatherhood which will characterize most of the successive generations of Alexandrian theologians. Alexander and Athanasius are the most significant of these later theologians, and both find their moment of crisis when a fellow Alexandrian, Arius, promotes a doctrine of God which denies the legitimacy of the traditional insight of God's fatherhood. The debate with Arius is treated by W. as the decisive event in shaping Athanasius's mature understanding of the fatherhood of God. W. makes the argument that Athanasius's doctrine of God's fatherhood keeps faith with Origen's while Arius's neglect (or rejection) of the doctrine breaks with Origen. Athanasius's anti-Arian understanding of the fatherhood of God thus constitutes the full development of Origen's doctrine.
Which is not to collapse Origen's and Athanasius's doctrines into one another. As W. makes clear, Origen's doctrine of divine fatherhood is set very much within the context of cosmology, in which Origen is developing a distinctively Christian alternative to pagan understandings of divine transcendence: responding to texts like Republic 509B and Timaeus 28C are important milestones for Origen. W.'s emphasis on the centrality of Origen's argument against God's materiality in particular is well taken and illuminating. Athanasius's doctrine of divine fatherhood, as has already been suggested, is by contrast very much engaged with refuting what seemed to Athanasius as the fundamental disavowal of God's natural or intrinsic productivity. What binds Origen and Athanasius is precisely the insight that God must be understood to be, by nature, productive.
While I have only quibbling criticisms to make about W.'s analysis of the content and context of the Alexandrian doctrine of God's fatherhood from Origen to Athanasius, I must disagree with his assessment of the significance of the doctrine's last stage, in Athanasius. W. asserts that the ultimate significance of Athanasius's doctrine of God's fatherhood lay in its function as the foundation for later pro-Nicene trinitarian thought, in that Athanasius's discussion of divine fatherhood sets the parameters for later fourth-century theologians, such as the Cappadocians, in their treatment of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is another fourth-century argument over God's fatherhood which seems the more likely foundation for Cappadocian trinitarian theology, namely the debate between Basil of Ancyra and George of Laodicea, who favored fatherson language, and Eunomius of Cyzicus and Eudoxius of Antioch, who favored Creator-creature language. In this debate, the use of "father" for God is thought by Eunomius and Eudoxius to attribute passion to God and thereby imply material generation and, more importantly, take away God's freedom. Basil and George's theology likely owes nothing to Athanasius, and that of Eunomius and Eudoxius may owe just as little to Arius. It is premature, I think, to give Athanasius the fourth-century role of being the nor-mative expression of Eastern pro-Nicene theology (although I would not argue with a claim that he obtains this status in the fifth century).
I emphasize this point because some of W.'s readers will be searching for a good historical account of the patristic doctrine of God the "Father" as a resource for contemporary gender-related speculations (as W. foresaw and provides for in a Postscript). They will certainly find that in W.'s work of first-class scholarship. What cannot happen next, I suggest, is the conclusion that an account of Athanasius's doctrine of the fatherhood of God provides as well an account of the fundamental "Nicene" trinitarian doctrine of fatherhood of God.

By Sasha Isakharov - On November 14, 2009 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, it is reported that Cotto will take on the current Pound for Pound King Manny Pac-Man Pacquaio at a catch weight of 145lbs for Cottos' WBO welterweight title, which will be Cotto's toughest test of his career by far. A great trainer will be needed in order for Cotto to pull off what could be the greatest upset in boxing history since the 1990 bout of Tyson v. Douglas in Japan..
Cotto was involved in a physical confrontation with his Uncle and former trainer Evangelista Cotto weeks before stepping into the ring with Clottey on June 13, 2009 at Madison Square Garden. Miguel Cotto had Joe Santiago on his team as his trainer who was only an assistant trainer before the incident between Miguel and Evangelista, which may have been over the alleged Plaster of Paris in Margaritos' hand wraps. Before the Margarito fight, Cotto's team failed to be in the room while Margarito was having his hands wrapped to take on Cotto on July 26, 2008 at the very same arena where Cotto will be scheduled to fight Manny Pacquaio. Cotto does not like to talk about either incident so the issues are left to be ambiguous. However, for Evangelista to throw a brick at Miguel Cotto's lavish ride may have been symbolic of what the fight between the two was over.
Cotto lacked a strong voice in his corner to have him work harder but the hometown crowd is what may have helped the Puerto Rican Super Star get through the grueling bout despite a severely deep gash above Cottos' Left Eye which caused a significant amount of blood to leak into Cotto's eye devastatingly effecting the fighter resulting in eating punches at the will of Joshua Clottey. Cotto, despite having an extraordinary and well experienced trainer in his corner to relax Cotto mentally, did not quit and continued to fight, knowing that he was up on the scorecards scoring an early knockdown. Cotto has tremendous heart and proved it on that night once again by fighting through adversity.
Emanuel Steward most likely would have encouraged Cotto to double up on the jab and use the jab more often as Steward is notoriously known as a fan of the jab, which Steward believes ultimately sets up every power shot. Joe Goosen on the other hand, would have encouraged Cotto to finish Clottey and move in on the kill. Cotto was relentless against Zab Judah for instance, when he applied much pressure causing Judah to succumb to the vicious onslaught and barrage of massive power punches ultimately forcing the referee to justifiably stop the fight so that Judah can fight another day.
Cotto, love him or hate him, is a warrior. Fans do not like to see Cottos' footwork, which would be the case with Emanuel Steward as his trainer, just look at the fans reaction to the 6'6" Heavyweight Champ Wladimir Klitschko. Emanuel Steward is also a fan of judges whom he trusts to give the fighter the victory if in fact he wins. Fans want to see a boxer go in the ring, leaving it a bloody mess and knock his opponent out cold like Pacquaio did to Ricky the Hitman Hatton in devastating and crowd pleasing fashion in under six minutes by the way. Boy, did the Hitman get nailed!
Joe Goosen on the other hand, was the trainer of Diego Chico Corrales and always encouraged Chico to go in for the kill. Joe Goosen had confidence in Chico because of Corrales' will and "one more round" attitude no matter the obstacle and odds against him. Cotto has about the same heart, will, and determination as Chico did if not more, which was displayed by Cotto against Ricardo Torres on September 24, 2005 at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Joe Goosen very well may be the best trainer for Miguel Angel Cotto. Goosen may be able to rejuvenate Cotto. The team just may be able to shock the world come November 14, 2009. How shocked would you be?

They probably are skin tags, but they could also be, um, genital warts (from HPV). When it happened to me I thought it was a skin tag until I was saw a doctor who diagnosed me with HPV. Apparently I had gotten it years prior, long before I was married, and the warts only showed up when my immune system was not at it's strongest.

I have those. They're surface vericose veins. They look like brownish blood blisters, but they're not. If you look at them closely, you can see that they're in a line. A squigly line, but still a line. They get bigger right before birth and sometimes they throb with pain.
The good news is that they go back down after birth. They might not go away, but they won't be large and throb anymore.
Feel better

The seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections kick off today with voting in 7 States and 2 Union Territories, with some of the big guns of Indian politics in the fray.
Yet again, Congress and BJP have big stakes in today's elections with 35 and 23 seats in their bag respectively which were won in the last elections. Stakes are also high for the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab which has four seats and is locked in a bitter contest with Congress.
Modi is seeking to make his debut in Lok Sabha by contesting from Vadodara, which is among the 26 seats in Gujarat going to polls in a single phase tomorrow. He is pitted against Madhusudan Mistry of Congress.

In Bihar, seven constituencies are going to polls tomorrow in the fourth of the six-phase Lok Sabha election in the state. Prominent among the candidates are JD(U) president Sharad Yadav from Madhepura, being challenged by RJD's Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, and cricketer-turned BJP leader Kirti Azad from Darbhanga and his challenger former Union minister and RJD leader MAA Fatmi.
In West Bengal, 87 contestants will fight it out in nine constituencies that are going to polls tomorrow in the third of the five-phase Lok Sabha election in the state. Among the candidates are BJP's Bappi Lahiri, journalist-turned politician Chandan Mitra and actor George Baker, who carry the hopes of the party leadership to score big for the first time in the state.
