The dates of the Classical period in Western music are generally accepted as 1750 to 1810. The term classical music is also used colloquially to designate a variety of styles rooted in the European liturgical and secular musical tradition dating back to the 9th century.
The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods. The best known composers from this period are Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven; other notable names include Luigi Boccherini, Muzio Clementi, Johann Ladislaus Dussek, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Christoph Willibald Gluck. Beethoven is also sometimes regarded either as a Romantic composer or a composer who was part of the transition to the Romantic; Franz Schubert is also something of a transitional figure, as are Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Luigi Cherubini and Carl Maria von Weber. The period is sometimes referred to as the era of Viennese Classic or Classicism (Wiener Klassik), since Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert all worked at some time in Vienna, comprising the First Viennese School.
The new style was also pushed forward by changes in the economic order and in social structure. As the 18th century progressed, the nobility became the primary patrons of instrumental music, and there was a rise in the public taste for comic opera. This led to changes in the way music was performed, the most crucial of which was the move to standard instrumental groups and the reduction in the importance of the continuo – the harmonic fill beneath the music, often played by several instruments. One way to trace this decline of the continuo and its figured chords is to examine the decline of the term obbligato, meaning a mandatory instrumental part in a work of chamber music. In the Baroque world, additional instruments could be optionally added to the continuo; in the Classical world, all parts were noted specifically, though not always notated, as a matter of course, so the word "obbligato" became redundant. By 1800, the term was virtually extinct, as was the practice of conducting a work from the keyboard. The changes in economic situation also had the effect of altering the balance of availability and quality of musicians. While in the late Baroque a major composer would have the entire musical resources of a town to draw on, the forces available at a hunting lodge were smaller and more fixed in their level of ability. This was a spur to having primarily simple parts to play, and in the case of a resident virtuoso group, a spur to writing spectacular, idiomatic parts for certain instruments, as in the case of the Mannheim orchestra. In addition, the appetite for a continual supply of new music, carried over from the Baroque, meant that works had to be performable with, at best, one rehearsal. Indeed, even after 1790 Mozart writes about "the rehearsal", with the implication that his concerts would have only one.
Since polyphonic texture was no longer the focus of music but rather a single melodic line with accompaniment, there was greater emphasis on notating that line for dynamics and phrasing. The simplification of texture made such instrumental detail more important, and also made the use of characteristic rhythms, such as attention-getting opening fanfares, the funeral march rhythm, or the minuet genre, more important in establishing and unifying the tone of a single movement.
This led to the Classical style's gradual breaking with the Baroque habit of making each movement of music devoted to a single affect (emotion or mood). Instead, it became the style to establish contrasts between sections within movements, giving each its own emotional coloring, using a range of techniques: opposition of major and minor; strident rhythmic themes in opposition to longer, more song-like themes; and especially, making movement between different harmonic areas the principal means of creating dramatic contrast and unity. Transitional episodes became more and more important, as occasions of surprise and delight. Consequently composers and musicians began to pay more attention to these, highlighting their arrival, and making the signs that pointed to them both more audible and more the subject of "play" and subversion. That is, composers more and more created false expectations, only to have the music skitter off in a different direction.
Variety and contrast within a piece became more pronounced than before. Variety of keys, melodies, rhythms and dynamics (using crescendo, diminuendo and sforzando), along with frequent changes of mood and timbre were more commonplace in the Classical period than they had been in the Baroque. Melodies tended to be shorter than those of Baroque music, with clear-cut phrases and clearly marked cadences. The Orchestra increased in size and range; the harpsichord continuo fell out of use, and the woodwind became a self-contained section. As a solo instrument, the harpsichord was replaced by the piano (or fortepiano). Early piano music was light in texture, often with Alberti bass accompaniment, but it later became richer, more sonorous and more powerful.
Importance was given to instrumental music – the main kinds were sonata, trio, string quartet, symphony, concerto, serenade and divertimento. Sonata form developed and became the most important design. It was used to build up the first movement of most large-scale works, but also other movements and single pieces (such as overtures).
The phase between the Baroque and the rise of the Classical, with its broad mixture of competing ideas and attempts to unify the different demands of taste, economics and "worldview", goes by many names. It is sometimes called Galant, Rococo, or pre-Classical, or at other times early Classical. It is a period where some composers still working in the Baroque style flourish, though sometimes thought of as being more of the past than the present — Bach, Handel, and Telemann all composed well beyond the point at which the homophonic style is clearly in the ascendant. Musical culture was caught at a crossroads: the masters of the older style had the technique, but the public hungered for the new. This is one of the reasons C.P.E. Bach was held in such high regard: he understood the older forms quite well and knew how to present them in new garb, with an enhanced variety of form.
Many consider this breakthrough to have been made by C.P.E. Bach, Gluck, and several others. Indeed, C.P.E. Bach and Gluck are often considered to be founders of the Classical style.
The first great master of the style was the composer Joseph Haydn. In the late 1750s he began composing symphonies, and by 1761 he had composed a triptych (Morning, Noon, and Evening) solidly in the "contemporary" mode. As a vice-Kapellmeister and later Kapellmeister, his output expanded: he composed over forty symphonies in the 1760s alone. And while his fame grew, as his orchestra was expanded and his compositions were copied and disseminated, his voice was only one among many.
While some suggest that he was overshadowed by Mozart and Beethoven, it would be difficult to overstate Haydn's centrality to the new style, and therefore to the future of Western art music as a whole. At the time, before the pre-eminence of Mozart or Beethoven, and with Johann Sebastian Bach known primarily to connoisseurs of keyboard music, Haydn reached a place in music that set him above all other composers except perhaps George Friedrich Handel. He took existing ideas, and radically altered how they functioned — earning him the titles "father of the symphony," and "father of the string quartet."
One of the forces that worked as an impetus for his pressing forward was the first stirring of what would later be called Romanticism — the Sturm und Drang, or "storm and stress" phase in the arts, a short period where obvious emotionalism was a stylistic preference. Haydn accordingly wanted more dramatic contrast and more emotionally appealing melodies, with sharpened character and individuality. This period faded away in music and literature: however, it influenced what came afterward and would eventually be a component of aesthetic taste in later decades.
The "Farewell" Symphony, No. 45 in F# Minor, exemplifies Haydn's integration of the differing demands of the new style, with surprising sharp turns and a long adagio to end the work. In 1772, Haydn completed his Opus 20 set of six string quartets, in which he deployed the polyphonic techniques he had gathered from the previous era to provide structural coherence capable of holding together his melodic ideas. For some this marks the beginning of the "mature" Classical style, where the period of reaction against the complexity of the late Baroque began to be replaced with a period of integration of elements of both Baroque and Classical styles.
Haydn's gift to music was a way of composing, a way of structuring works, which was at the same time in accord with the governing aesthetic of the new style. However, a younger contemporary, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, brought his genius to Haydn's ideas and applied them to two of the major genres of the day: opera, and the virtuoso concerto. Whereas Haydn spent much of his working life as a court composer, Mozart wanted public success in the concert life of cities. This meant opera, and it meant performing as a virtuoso. Haydn was not a virtuoso at the international touring level; nor was he seeking to create operatic works that could play for many nights in front of a large audience. Mozart wanted both. Moreover, Mozart also had a taste for more chromatic chords (and greater contrasts in harmonic language generally), a greater love for creating a welter of melodies in a single work, and a more Italianate sensibility in music as a whole. He found, in Haydn's music and later in his study of the polyphony of Bach, the means to discipline and enrich his gifts.
Mozart rapidly came to the attention of Haydn, who hailed the new composer, studied his works, and considered the younger man his only true peer in music. In Mozart, Haydn found a greater range of instrumentation, dramatic effect and melodic resource; the learning relationship moved in two directions.
Mozart's arrival in Vienna in 1780 brought an acceleration in the development of the Classical style. There Mozart absorbed the fusion of Italianate brilliance and Germanic cohesiveness which had been brewing for the previous 20 years. His own taste for brilliances, rhythmically complex melodies and figures, long cantilena melodies, and virtuoso flourishes was merged with an appreciation for formal coherence and internal connectedness. It is at this point that war and inflation halted a trend to larger orchestras and forced the disbanding or reduction of many theatre orchestras. This pressed the Classical style inwards: towards seeking greater ensemble and technical challenge — for example, scattering the melody across woodwinds, or using thirds to highlight the melody taken by them. This process placed a premium on chamber music for more public performance, giving a further boost to the string quartet and other small ensemble groupings.
It was during this decade that public taste began, increasingly, to recognize that Haydn and Mozart had reached a higher standard of composition. By the time Mozart arrived at age 25, in 1781, the dominant styles of Vienna were recognizably connected to the emergence in the 1750s of the early Classical style. By the end of the 1780s, changes in performance practice, the relative standing of instrumental and vocal music, technical demands on musicians, and stylistic unity had become established in the composers who imitated Mozart and Haydn. During this decade Mozart composed his most famous operas, his six late symphonies which helped to redefine the genre, and a string of piano concerti which still stand at the pinnacle of these forms.
One composer who was influential in spreading the more serious style that Mozart and Haydn had formed is Muzio Clementi, a gifted virtuoso pianist who dueled Mozart to a draw before the emperor, when they exhibited their compositions in performance. His own sonatas for the piano circulated widely, and he became the most successful composer in London during the 1780s. Also in London at this time was Johann Ladislaus Dussek, who, like Clementi, encouraged piano makers to extend the range and other features of their instruments, and then fully exploited the newly opened possibilities. The importance of London in the Classical period is often overlooked, but it served as the home to the Broadwood's factory for piano manufacturing and as the base for composers who, while less notable than the "Vienna School", had a decisive influence on what came later. They were composers of many fine works, notable in their own right. London's taste for virtuosity may well have encouraged the complex passage work and extended statements on tonic and dominant.
The moment was again ripe for a dramatic shift. During the 1790s, there emerged of a new generation of composers, born around 1770, who, while they had grown up with the earlier styles, found in the recent works of Haydn and Mozart a vehicle for greater expression. In 1788 Luigi Cherubini settled in Paris and in 1791 composed Lodoiska, an opera that rose him to fame. Its style is clearly reflective of the mature Haydn and Mozart, and its instrumentation gave it a weight that had not yet been felt in the grand opera. His contemporary Étienne Méhul extended instrumental effects with his 1790 opera Euphrosine et Coradin, from which followed a series of successes.
The most fateful of the new generation was Ludwig van Beethoven, who launched his numbered works in 1794 with a set of three piano trios, which remain in the repertoire. Somewhat younger than the others, though equally accomplished because of his youthful study under Mozart and his native virtuosity, was Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Hummel studied under Haydn as well; he was a friend to Beethoven and Schubert and a teacher to Franz Liszt. He concentrated more on the piano than any other instrument, and his time in London in 1791 and 1792 generated the composition and publication in 1793 of three piano sonatas, opus 2, which idiomatically used Mozart's techniques of avoiding the expected cadence, and Clementi's sometimes modally uncertain virtuoso figuration. Taken together, these composers can be seen as the vanguard of a broad change in style and the center of music. They studied one another's works, copied one another's gestures in music, and on occasion behaved like quarrelsome rivals.
The crucial differences with the previous wave can be seen in the downward shift in melodies, increasing durations of movements, the acceptance of Mozart and Haydn as paradigmatic, the greater use of keyboard resources, the shift from "vocal" writing to "pianistic" writing, the growing pull of the minor and of modal ambiguity, and the increasing importance of varying accompanying figures to bring "texture" forward as an element in music. In short, the late Classical was seeking a music that was internally more complex. The growth of concert societies and amateur orchestras, marking the importance of music as part of middle-class life, contributed to a booming market for pianos, piano music, and virtuosi to serve as examplars. Hummel, Beethoven, and Clementi were all renowned for their improvising.
Direct influence of the Baroque continued to fade: the figured bass grew less prominent as a means of holding performance together, the performance practices of the mid 18th century continued to die out. However, at the same time, complete editions of Baroque masters began to become available, and the influence of Baroque style continued to grow, particularly in the ever more expansive use of brass. Another feature of the period is the growing number of performances where the composer was not present. This led to increased detail and specificity in notation; for example, there were fewer "optional" parts that stood separately from the main score.
The force of these shifts became apparent with Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, given the name Eroica, which is Italian for "heroic", by the composer. As with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, it may not have been the first in all of its innovations, but its aggressive use of every part of the Classical style set it apart from its contemporary works: in length, ambition, and harmonic resources.
One crucial change was the shift towards harmonies centering around "flatward" keys: shifts in the subdominant direction. In the Classical style, major key was far more common than minor, chromaticism being moderated through the use of "sharpward" modulation, and sections in the minor mode were often merely for contrast. Beginning with Mozart and Clementi, there began a creeping colonization of the subdominant region. With Schubert, subdominant moves flourished after being introduced in contexts in which earlier composers would have confined themselves to dominant shifts. This introduced darker colors to music, strengthened the minor mode, and made structure harder to maintain. Beethoven contributed to this by his increasing use of the fourth as a consonance, and modal ambiguity — for example, the opening of the D Minor Symphony.
Franz Schubert, Carl Maria von Weber, and John Field are among the most prominent in this generation of "Classical Romantics", along with the young Felix Mendelssohn. Their sense of form was strongly influenced by the Classical style, and they were not yet "learned" (imitating rules which were codified by others), but they directly responded to works by Beethoven, Mozart, Clementi, and others, as they encountered them. The instrumental forces at their disposal were also quite "Classical" in number and variety, permitting similarity with Classical works.
However, the forces destined to end the hold of the Classical style gathered strength in the works of each of these composers. The most commonly cited one is harmonic innovation. However, also important is the increasing focus on having a continuous and rhythmically uniform accompanying figuration: Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata was the model for hundreds of later pieces — where the shifting movement of a rhythmic figure provides much of the drama and interest of the work, while a melody drifts above it. Greater knowledge of works, greater instrumental expertise, increasing variety of instruments, the growth of concert societies, and the unstoppable domination of the piano — which created a huge audience for sophisticated music — all contributed to the shift to the "Romantic" style.
Drawing the line exactly is impossible: there are sections of Mozart's works which, taken alone, are indistinguishable in harmony and orchestration from music written 80 years later, and composers continue to write in normative Classical styles into the 20th century. Even before Beethoven's death, composers such as Louis Spohr were self-described Romantics, incorporating, for example, more extravagant chromaticism in their works. However, generally the fall of Vienna as the most important musical center for orchestral composition is felt to be the occasion of the Classical style's final eclipse, along with its continuous organic development of one composer learning in close proximity to others. Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin visited Vienna when young, but they then moved on to other vistas. Composers such as Carl Czerny, while deeply influenced by Beethoven, also searched for new ideas and new forms to contain the larger world of musical expression and performance in which they lived.
Renewed interest in the formal balance and restraint of 18th century classical music led in the early 20th century to the development of so-called Neoclassical style, which numbered Stravinsky and Prokofiev among its proponents.

I can still search Google if I type into an existing Google page, but searching straight from omnibar no longer works. Very annoying.

I've been using this trick to save my scraps and make half square triangles while I'm at it. It's a great method to use when your adding stitch-n-flip corners to a block.
Lay the square in the corner of your block with the pencil line like so:
And stitch down the line as you normally would. Instead of trimming and throwing that whole corner away, sew a second line 1/2" away from the previous seam towards the corner like so:
Then cut in between the 2 seams:
Press, and you've got your block with the triangle corner, and a half square triangle.
The half square triangle will be 1" smaller than the original corner square you sewed on. So this corner square was 4", and my half square triangle is 3". This is a great trick for patterns like Pow Wow where the corner squares are large and it creates a lot of waste.
Then you'll have lots of little tiny HST's to make another project!!! Because all you needed was another project right??! ;)

We have so many serene and beautiful religious outdoor statues that you must browse them all and you will surely find something to suit you. If you are looking for something that represents a family image, the Jesus Loves the Little Children Garden Sculpture: The Smiling Christ Statue is just the right item. The artist depicts Jesus holding young children from the scripture calling the little children to Him. The statue is 2 feet tall and done in a stone finish in exquisite detail.
Design Toscano has angels in all shapes and sizes and the especially wonderful stone garden angel is that done of children. Every child has a picture in their mind of their guardian angel and we have a sculpture that just might match that piece of imagination. This is the Guardian Angel Child's Prayer Garden Statue which is a 34" high with beautiful angel looking at the praying child and pointing to heaven. This is a lovely piece if you have children who wonder what their guardian angel looks like.
We have many families in our collections from mischievous children to adorable animals and there is none as popular as our Meerkat sculpture. The Meerkat family is depicted many different ways, but they are all together in the Meerkat Family at the Waterhole Garden Fountain. This wonderful fountain is set in a rocky area with water cascading from the top to the waterhole below and surrounded by Meerkats, the family together on one side and some adventurous fellows on the other side.

In This Special Report:
Whether it's breakouts, winter dry skin, dark circles, rosacea, oily skin, and on and on, all of us have skin-care concerns at one time or another—they show up from time to time or they just never seem to go away completely. Looking in the mirror can be so frustrating, when no matter what you do or how much money you spend your skin doesn't seem to get any better— and often just gets worse.
Almost every common skin-care problem has solutions, which is encouraging, but how can you be sure you're not going to be disappointed again? This Special Report is the answer! It explains what you really can do to improve what's bothering you about your skin—and which products are a waste of your time and money.
The solutions we describe below are based on the latest published research! Because you're getting facts and not hype, you'll get the best results possible. Your skin will become healthier and more beautiful, and you'll have renewed confidence because you'll know how to handle your most bothersome skin-care concerns!
What Causes This Problem: Age spots aren't caused by growing older; rather, they are caused almost entirely by sun damage. If you doubt that, just compare the skin on the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun on a regular basis with the parts of your body that don't see the sun very often, if ever. You'll be shocked by the difference in how your skin looks.
What you'll see is that the areas that get little or no sun exposure will look much younger and more even-toned than the sun-exposed areas. Brown spots and uneven skin tone show up on the face, chest, hands, and arms, but rarely, if ever, on the abdomen, breasts, or your backside.
The Solution: Because melanin, the pigment in cells that colors the skin, is the culprit behind these brown spots, you need a treatment product that interrupts excess melanin production and allows the discolorations to fade.
Next, to prevent the brown spots from coming back, you must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater (and greater is better) every day, rain or shine (the damaging rays of the sun are always present; they pass through clouds and even through windows). Forgoing sunscreen is the fastest way to undo the benefits of a skin-lightening product.
Along with applying sunscreen daily, use one of the following skin-lightening products, all of which contain the gold standard ingredients (such as hydroquinone or vitamin C) proven to fade brown discolorations:
With regular use, these products, and others like them, can fade discolorations, and in some cases make them go away completely. For stubborn cases, you may need prescription-only skin-lightening products.
What Causes This Problem: Bruises occur when the body suffers an injury, usually an impact-based injury, that may or may not be accompanied by an abrasion or cut. The impact ruptures tiny blood vessels beneath the skin's surface, causing subtle to moderate leakage into the surrounding tissues. This leakage results in, you guessed it, a bluish, greenish, purple, or reddened bruise.
As we age our skin becomes thinner, especially if we've accumulated a lot of sun damage over time. Thinner skin means we bruise more easily, enough so that even the slightest bump can result in a large, unsightly bruise. This also applies to people who take medications that thin their blood, including over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), or plain aspirin.
The Solution: Most bruises disappear within a few days, so normally no treatment is needed. However, if the bruise is in a conspicuous place, you'll likely want to do what you can to make it go away faster. Topical application of a 20% concentration of the herb Arnica montana (A. montana) may help. You can find tinctures of A. montana at most health food stores. Note that you should never apply pure arnica to broken or cut skin, and it is advised for short-term use only. Arnica doesn't work for everyone, but there's enough research supporting its efficacy to make it worth trying.
Another option is to consider arnica in a moisturizer that's also loaded with beneficial skin-repairing ingredients. A great option is DerMend Moisturizing Bruise Formula ($30 for 4.5 ounces) which is available in most larger drugstores or online.
Intermittent use of an ice pack immediately after the injury also will help. If an ice pack isn't handy, and you're at home, use a bag of frozen vegetables (peas work great) wrapped in a dry towel; it makes a good stand-in!
If a bruise persists for a prolonged period of time (more than a month) even with topical treatment, it may be a sign of a more serious health issue, and you should see your doctor for an evaluation.
What Causes This Problem: Painful dryness and cracking can be a sign of excessive irritation, friction (which is what causes those lovely calluses on your heels and toes), cold weather, dry climates, or medical conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and diabetes.
The Solution: Although you may want to seek medical advice if your dry, cracked skin is chronic and severe, most dry, cracked skin problems can be resolved by avoiding drying cleansers (especially bar soaps) and by reapplying well-formulated moisturizers.
The best defense against dry skin is to use gentle cleansers and to keep areas prone to dryness and cracking lubricated with an emollient, creamy, and buttery smooth moisturizer. You also want to avoid sources of friction whenever possible, so you shouldn't wear shoes that don't fit well, shouldn't wear scratchy fabrics, and shouldn't use loofahs. Keeping your skin protected from extreme cold also helps a great deal!
Try some of the following products to keep your skin protected from painful dryness and cracking:
Hand Washes
What Causes This Problem: Eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is a frustrating skin disorder where areas of your skin's surface have a combination of problems, such as itching, redness, cracking, roughness, small blisters, inflammation, flaking, and overall discomfort. Eczema often shows up around the ears, fingers, toes, back of the knees, and in the crook of the arm (opposite your elbow).
Why eczema occurs is unknown, although there does seem to be a hereditary component and it may be linked to a short-circuited immune system response. Regardless of the cause, treating the condition is tricky. Following are a few key steps you can take to get matters under control; above all else, avoid any product or material (think wool or Spandex) that you've found makes your eczema symptoms worse.
The Solution: Treating eczema involves using skin-care products (especially moisturizers) that help repair, soothe, and constantly reinforce the skin's protective surface layers. In addition to using products that contain skin-repairing and calming ingredients, it is critical that you avoid products containing any irritants, including fragrance (synthetic or natural extracts) and alcohol. Irritation is terrible for all skin types, but especially for those with eczema.
Mild eczema often can be controlled simply by changing to more emollient skin-care products and occasionally using an over-the-counter cortisone cream. If your problems are more severe, you might require prescription-strength cortisone creams (or other topical prescription products) along with the appropriate skin care.
Note: Because someone with eczema also can have extremely sensitive skin, it is helpful to use a gentle, fragrance-free laundry detergent. (Tide and All make good ones as well as Dreft.) Make sure that your other laundry products (e.g., fabric softener, dryer sheets) are fragrance-free, too.
Try any of these products to improve eczema and its symptoms:
What Causes This Problem: Acne is an inflammatory disorder caused by a combination of factors. Acne results mostly from overproduction of oil in the oil gland, which is caused by hormones; the growth of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) deep inside the pore; and the accumulation of dead skin cells and debris at the surface of the pore, which block the free flow of oil out of the pore. These conditions, along with irritation from skin-care products, cause acne breakouts.
No matter what you call it—"breakouts," "blemishes," or "adult acne"—the struggle to get acne under control can be emotionally devastating, at any age. If your skin-care routine doesn't address the issues described above, or even worse, if the products you use contain ingredients that exacerbate the problem, you will always be disappointed with the results.
Although there are dozens and dozens of anti-acne products available, very few of them are well-formulated. In fact, it's shocking how many of the so-called "anti-acne" products out there will only make your acne worse, or leave you with dry, flaky, red skin.
The Solution: Here is what you can do to treat your acne, but remember, you must experiment with the kinds of products that research shows improve acne to find the specific products that work for you.
1. Clean your skin gently with a water-soluble cleanser that does not contain ingredients that clog pores or irritate the skin. This will help reduce redness and irritation, and reducing irritation means that you are not stimulating the nerve endings in the pore, and thus not triggering excess oil production.
2. Use a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and encourage healthy skin-cell turnover, both from the skin's surface and inside the pore. BHA also helps reduce redness and inflammation and offers mild antibacterial action.
3. Use a benzoyl peroxide product to kill the bacteria (P. acnes) that cause the eruption, inflammation, redness, and swelling. Benzoyl peroxide is the gold standard ingredient for killing these bacteria.
4. If you find that these steps aren't effective after at least 4 weeks of consistent use, the next step is to talk to your doctor about medical treatments for acne, such as topical retinoids (e.g., Retin-A, Tazorac, Avita, generic tretinoin, Differin) and a topical antibiotic with benzoyl peroxide. For details on acne treatment, including cystic acne and other types of breakouts, click here.
Recommended cleansers for acne:
Recommended BHA exfoliants for acne:
Recommended benzoyl peroxide for acne:
What Causes This Problem: Scars are a result of the skin's healing process from a cut or abrasion. How a scar looks depends on several factors, including the depth of the wound, genetics, sun exposure, and how you care for the wounded area as it heals.
Most products marketed as being able to improve the appearance of a scar exaggerate what they can do and/or mislead you about the results but there are some good products to consider.
Mederma is a popular brand that claims to reduce the appearance of scars, but published research has shown conflicting evidence (for example, using plain Vaseline had the same results as Mederma but in other research Mederma was shown to be more effective than a placebo).
Avoid pure vitamin E and other thick, emollient salves for scars. They do not work and may have a negative effect on how your skin continues to heal after a scar has formed.
The Solution: The steps outlined below can help improve scars and help your skin heal. Following these steps will make a big difference in the scar left behind by a wound!
The following antioxidant-rich serums can help improve a scar's appearance when used in conjunction with a well-formulated sunscreen:
What Causes This Problem: Stretch marks occur when the skin is abnormally stretched and expanded for a period of time, which typically occurs during pregnancy and/or weight gain. The abnormal stretching causes a breakdown or rupture in the skin's support structure of collagen and elastin. In fact, the visible curled ends of stretch marks are actually the broken bands of elastin beneath the skin (think of elastin as rubber bands beneath the skin that give it spring and its ability to snap back into place).
Essentially, stretch marks are scars that form from the inside out, rather than scarring that occurs when skin is externally wounded.
It may surprise you to know that in the United States it is estimated that 90% of women who are or have been pregnant, 70% of adolescent females, and 40% of adolescent males have stretch marks. There does not seem to be any link to ethnicity; all races can be affected.
The Solution: Stretch marks are one of the toughest skin-care concerns to treat by yourself because there are no cosmetic ingredients or products that can improve stretch marks. It is impossible for any cosmetic to raise the indentations back to where the skin level used to be or to repair the snapped elastin fibers. You can choose on your own to believe the ads that claim to be able to do that, but you'll simply be throwing your money down the drain.
In the pharmaceutical realm, there is some research showing that tretinoin (the active ingredient in Retin-A, Renova, or in generic form) can have a positive effect on stretch marks. Typical improvement is 20%, which isn't necessarily exciting, but many will find it worth the effort and expense. The dilemma for expectant mothers is that tretinoin cannot be used during pregnancy, and is also contraindicated if the mother-to-be intends to breastfeed her baby.
Beyond tretinoin you can consider the following medical cosmetic corrective treatments for stretch marks:
What Causes This Problem: Cellulite represents the stored, hard-to-metabolize fat that is associated with estrogen production. Given that estrogen is the primary female hormone, it isn't surprising that 85% of women (all over the world) have cellulite and only 5% of men do.
Ironically, weight isn't the whole picture when it comes to cellulite. Rather, any amount of fat (and we all need some fat in our bodies to be healthy) can show up as cellulite on a woman's thighs. That's why skinny women have cellulite, too!
Just as with stretch marks, there aren't any skin-care products that can get rid of cellulite. We wish it were different, but facts are facts: Despite the vast array of products and procedures claiming to get rid of cellulite, none of them work as wonderfully claimed, not even remotely.
In addition to skin-care products being a bust for getting rid of cellulite, the following treatments also are NOT worth your time or money:
The Solution: Although cellulite cannot be eliminated, research shows that the following types of products can help, a little, to improve its appearance because they have a positive impact on skin structure:
You also can consider one or more of the following products to improve the appearance of cellulite, but do not expect miracles; at the most, you'll see only slight improvement:
What Causes This Problem:Clogged pores are the cause of keratosis pilaris—a skin condition where little, raised red bumps show up in patches on your upper arms, backside, or thighs. The bumps resemble chicken skin and can appear as small, red, inflamed pimples that occasionally itch, but most often they are just benign bumps that are visible on the skin and feel rough.
The Solution: Although there is no cure for these bumpy rough spots, it is possible to control the problem by unclogging the pores with gentle exfoliation, but NOT by scrubbing.
The right exfoliant can make a HUGE difference; in many cases, keratosis pilaris can be kept completely under control, meaning that there will be no visible signs of the condition as long as you continue to use the exfoliant.
Without question, the best way to reduce or get rid of these bumps is to use a product that contains beta hydroxy acid (BHA, also known as salicylic acid) listed as an active ingredient and that has a pH low enough for exfoliation to occur.
Two other interesting aspects of BHA are (1) it has antimicrobial properties, so it helps control the bacteria that may be causing the pimple-like eruptions, and (2) because it has anti-inflammatory properties it helps reduce or eliminate redness and inflammation.
Recommended products for improving keratosis pilaris include the following:
What Causes This Problem: Rosacea is a frustrating skin condition whose exact cause remains a mystery. Researchers have some theories about what may be responsible, but the only things known for sure are the following:
The Solution: Rosacea is best treated with a combination of gentle skin-care products (anything irritating will make matters worse), topical prescription medications, and, for best results, laser or light-emitting treatments to help eliminate the excess redness from the broken capillaries beneath the skin
A skin-care routine for anyone treating rosacea must include the following tactics:
Recommending specific products for those with rosacea is tricky. Even a gentle formulation can cause a negative reaction for those with this skin disorder. You can explore effective options for sensitive skin that's either oily or dry by visiting the Best Products section of Beautypedia Reviews.
Paula's Choice Hydralight products (for normal, oily, and combination skin) or Skin Recovery products (for normal to very dry skin) are important options to consider because they are formulated to meet the needs of those with sensitive skin and rosacea.

Nation editor-at-large and host of MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes.
Facing a shortage of lethal injection drugs, Utah's GOP majority legislature just passed a bill clearing the way for execution by firing squad. The Nation's Chris Hayes interviewed Utah State Representative Paul Ray, the author of the legislation, about what motivated him to propose the bill and the overall ethics of firing squads.
"Is the barbarism of whatever horrific murder has been committed…the standard the state should be using?" Hayes asked. Representative Ray replied that given the shortage of injection drugs, a firing squad helped provide "some closure" in capital cases. "There's another option," Hayes said. "You can not execute people."
—Avi Asher-Schapiro
This footage, which All In producers filmed, shows the police loudly threatening Chris Hayes and his media team as they attempt to film the chaos in Ferguson. As Chris Hayes approached the scene with cameras, police threatened to mace them—one officer shouted, "Hey! Media! Get behind us! Do not pass us! You're getting maced next time you pass us."
—Hannah Harris Green
Several passengers who perished on flight MH17 were HIV researchers en route to a conference in Melbourne, where they believed their discussions could end the AIDS epidemic. "There was a real sense of profound optimism going into this conference," The Nation's executive editor Richard Kim told Chris Hayes on All In Friday. One researcher in particular who was aboard the flight, Joep Lange, believed that the medical community possessed the necessary knowledge required to end AIDS—they only lacked the resources. "That struggle, to get the political will and human resources—that was Dr. Lange's entire life. He was not just a brilliant researcher and scientist. He was an activist," said Kim.
—Hannah Harris Green
Why is so much of the funding for anti-marijuana activist organizations coming from pharmaceutical companies? Joining Chris Hayes on All In last night, Lee Fang explained the tangled links between big pharma companies who make opioid prescription drugs and anti-legalization activist groups that he uncovered while reporting his article, "The Real Reason Pot Is Still Illegal."
According to Fang, the anti-drug activists who focus on pot have their priorities misplaced, as prescription painkiller abuse is an "epidemic" that is sweeping the country. "The CDC says it kills over 16,000 people a year," Fang told Hayes.
—Hannah Harris Green
On Wednesday morning, House minority leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican representatives successfully blocked Elizabeth Warren's student loan bill—a piece of legislation that would have allowed the millions of Americans saddled with student loan debts to refinance them at a lower interest rate. McConnell referred to the bill as a "tax increase bill styled as a student loan bill," and encouraged Republicans to filibuster to stop it. fifty-eight senators, three of them Republicans, voted for the bill, while only thirty-eight voted against it, but it was still not enough to overcome the filibuster.
An outraged Elizabeth Warren told Chris Hayes last night that the choice should have been simple. "Do you stand with the billionaires, protecting every single tax break that they get? Every loophole, every subsidy? Or do you stand with the students? The people who went out there, played by the rules and tried to get an education and are trying to start their lives," she demanded.
Now, McConnell better watch his seat: Warren says she'll be going to Kentucky to campaign for Alison Lundergan Grimes, McConnell's Democratic opponent in this fall's election, who Warren said has been in favor of the student loan bill and would be likely to bring about the positive change that McConnell is trying to resist.
—Hannah Harris Green
In a memorable 2009 speech on the House floor, Florida Representative Alan Grayson claimed that the Republican plan for healthcare involved two simple steps: don't get sick and, if you do, die quickly. According to Nation editor-at-large Chris Hayes, those controversial comments are proving scarily accurate. While dozens of Republican governors have blocked the expansion of Medicaid in their states, Hayes draws on the example of Massachusetts—which expanded access to health insurance, lowering the state's mortality rate by 3 percent—as proof that "insuring the previously uninsured saves lives." Under the Affordable Care Act, the national rate of uninsured has dropped to the lowest point since Gallup began recording the figure. As Hayes said, "Blocking the implementation of Obamacare will cost lives."
—Mara Kardas-Nelson
"Are you the unluckiest reporter in America today?" WNYC's Brian Lehrer asked Nation Editor-at-Large Chris Hayes on Monday morning. Hayes laughed. The day before, the third episode of Years of Living Dangerously had aired on Showtime, in which Republican Congressman Michael Grimm admitted, in an interview with Hayes, the existence of man-made climate change. The following morning, Hayes woke up to news that Grimm had been taken into federal custody for alleged fraudulent business practices. "Well, we got a Republican convert on climate change," Hayes joked, "too bad he got indicted the next day." Fraud or not, Grimm's change of heart is a positive step for Republicans, who continue to diminish the severity of the climate crisis. "If we continue doing what we're all collectively doing on this planet," Hayes told Lehrer, "we will get to a point where Fargo is like Phoenix." Which is to say, climate change doesn't care whether conservatives believe it exists, it's going to destroy the planet if we don't act.

Read Next: Chris Hayes on why we need a fossil fuel abolition movement
To prevent the catastrophic scenario of a planet heated by more than 2 degrees Celsius, 80 percent of the world's current fossil fuel reserves need to stay in the ground. What's standing in the way of making sure that happens? It's not climate change denialism—it's money. Those reserves are valued at an estimated $20 trillion, a number that seems impossible for fossil fuel companies to walk away from. "What does it take to make concentrated powerful interests relinquish their wealth on this scale?" was the question tackled on yesterday's episode of MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes, as well as in his new Nation companion piece. The only time business owners have let go of a revenue source on that scale was when the United States ended slavery. It's a tough mission, but as guest and Gasland director Josh Fox reminds us, "What is money worth when there is no civilization?"
—Corinne Grinapol
New York Mets second baseman David Murphy was harshly criticized in the sports media this week. His crime? Murphy missed two games for the birth of his first child. The issue was humorously addresed on All in With Chris Hayes by guest host Joy Reid, joined via telephone by Hayes, who was himself on paternity leave. The irony of the situation was not lost on him. "There's actually a nice, tight analogy here between cable news and baseball," he said. "They play 162 games, OK? He's going to miss three games, which is, by the way, in the collective bargaining agreement that the union negotiated." Hayes had no sympathy for the "neanderthalish" views of sportscasters like Boomer Esiason and Mike Francesa. "Take some time with your frickin' kid and take some time with the partner in your life who brought the kid into the world" he said. "That actually is part of being a man."
—Dustin Christensen
Fancy a side of irony with your corporate hypocrisy? Last night on MSNBC, Nation Editor-at-Large Chris Hayes profiled ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, a vocal proponent of hydraulic fracking, who is suing to prevent the construction of a water tower near his eighty-three-acre, $5 million horse ranch in Bartonville, Texas. The purpose of the tower? Storing water for fracking. Tillerson and his super-wealthy neighbors are concerned, the lawsuit states, that the fracking tower might "devalue their properties and adversely impact the rural lifestyle they sought to enjoy." As Hayes put it, "Rex Tillerson is leading the fracking revolution, just not in his backyard."

Feeling out of synch? The world's most precise clock is now located on the CU-Boulder campus.
In a laboratory at JILA—a joint institute of CU-Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology—researchers have developed a new strontium atomic clock that has set world records for both precision and stability. It "ticks" 430 trillion times per second.
Since its formation 50 years ago, JILA, the joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards (NIST), has been the site of groundbreaking research and has produced three Nobel Prize winners, including its current chair, Eric Cornell. He shared the esteemed award in physics in 2001 for discovering the fifth state of matter and producing the first "pure" Bose-Einstein condensate.
JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology that has produced three Nobel Prize winners since 2001, has opened a new wing with advanced laboratories for its world-renowned science.
Physicists at JILA on the CU-Boulder campus have for the first time observed chemical reactions near absolute zero, demonstrating that chemistry is possible at ultralow temperatures and that reaction rates can be controlled using quantum mechanics, the peculiar rules of submicroscopic physics.
CU-Boulder professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn lead an interdisciplinary research group at JILA, a joint institute of the university and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where they have made groundbreaking strides in laser science by developing new ultra-fast lasers and X-ray sources for experiments in physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. Their pioneering research resulted in the development of ultra-fast optical and coherent soft X-ray sources.

Your baggage will normally be carried on the same aircraft as you but it may occasionally be necessary for it to be carried on another aircraft.
Your property is important to us and we will assist you if you are separated from your baggage. We have a sophisticated global system in place designed to reunite customers with their baggage as quickly as possible.
If you cannot find your baggage at the terminal, the first step is to approach the baggage services desk at the airport. This can usually be found in the customs hall, near the baggage claim area.
There, you will need to fill out a Property Irregularity Report. This report will contain a unique reference number, which enables Emirates to trace your baggage as quickly and efficiently as possible. You may view the status of your report at any time by entering your reference number here
The more information you can give us about your baggage – colour, make, identifying marks, etc. – the better.
If you have left the airport without filling out a report, please contact your local Emirates office as soon as possible.
When your baggage has been received, we will advise you immediately and arrange a time for delivery subject to customs approval.
Many bags look alike, so it is important to be able to recognise your own luggage. Always tie an identification tag to each checked item with your name, address and contact details. Emirates staff at the check-in counter can provide you with a tag if you do not already have one.
To further distinguish your luggage, consider tying a brightly-coloured ribbon to the handle, placing a sticker on the bag, or otherwise decorating your property so that it is easily recognisable.
Some items should not be included in checked baggage, such as valuables (including jewellery), computers and electronic devices, keys, important documents (including passports), and medication or medical equipment that cannot be replaced quickly.
Please also ensure that your baggage is sufficiently robust, well packed and secured in order to withstand the usual and normal rigours of carriage by air without sustaining damage.
For further information on baggage please see our Conditions of Carriage for customers and Baggage.

Play Video: Deluxe Flannel Sheet Set
I was expecting better quality cotton. I have had a few different brands of flannel massage sheets and these are not as soft as they could be. Actually, they kind of feel like they are a cotton/wool blend. On the flip side, they did not shed a lot in the dryer as some of the softer sheets had done. Hopefully, they will last longer because of this factor. They do feel strong.

(SportsNetwork.com) - LeBron James has finalized a two-year, $42.1 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to a report.
ESPN.com reported on Saturday that James' goal is to re-sign with Cleveland prior to the 2016-17 season when the value of the league's maximum contract is expected to jump.
James announced in a first-person essay on Friday that he was returning to the Cavaliers after four seasons with the Miami Heat, telling Sports Illustrated he was "coming home."
His decision ended heated speculation about where the four-time MVP would sign after he opted out of his contract with the Heat last month.
James played his first seven NBA seasons for the Cavs, averaging 27.8 points and taking the team to the NBA Finals once. He made the Finals all four years with the Heat, winning two NBA titles.
