just turn left at the airport
By enelson
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 at 5:54 pm in air travel, other.
This morning I received one of the biggest responses ever to any story I've written in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the story had little to do with transportation and nothing to do with commuting.
A half-dozen vitriolic e-mails from readers from Virginia to Washington State, one electronic query from a staffer of one member of Congress and a phone call from another representative's representative.
Still, journalists like to know that their "content," as I now like to call it (because most people get it for free. Some day, I will be standing at an intersection with a cardboard sign saying, "will provide content for food."), is being read by the widest audience possible.
The story, in cased you missed it, was about a planeload of troops fresh from Iraq on their way to Hawaii. They stopped in Oakland on Thursday and had to wait two hours on a remote part of the tarmac when some of them had friends and/or family waiting inside to see them.
One of them was reported to have sent an e-mail to Michael Ledeen, a contributing editor to National Review, whose blog item about the incident prompted a "My Word" commentary by John Gibson on Fox News.
The gist: We on the "Left Coast" don't support the troops.
A reader who had heard the piece called yesterday and left me a voice mail saying he had heard the Fox News piece.
With me so far?
Thus began the hemming and hawing that often takes place when a possible news story surfaces. What to do with it?
At that point, had the synapses been firing properly, I should have jumped on that sucker and did my eight seconds and waited for the rodeo judges to hold up their cards (or is that just in gymnastics?).
Instead, I thought, this is interesting in a quirky, blog-sort of way, so I'll find out what happened and blog about it.
As I was trying to contact the airport, with some minor delay (turns out they were busy), I decided to check the airport's Website.
They posted something, and suddenly I knew this was not just a blog post. They confirmed the basic details of the incident that had outraged Ledeen, Gibson and a sea of right-leaning political bloggers, saying the airport:
received information that the passengers were not screened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at their originating airport and that weapons were on-board the aircraft."
Together with our security partners, the airport made a decision to park this aircraft at a remote location on the tarmac. It is the responsibility of the charter airline that its operation is compliant with TSA screening requirements.
If that weren't enough, the TSA spokesman referred me via e-mail to their own statement, posted on their Website, disavowing any involvement in the incident.
By the time I read this around lunchtime, the bonfire was growing, along with my sworn duty to throw another log on. Anything that rises to the level of a national political debate is, according to my handwritten dictionary, news. Usually, such news does not deal with Bay Area transportation, but yesterday, my number came up.
Airport management staged a press conference, issued an apology and I even got a call from a secret source — one I'd never spoken to before — with background on the incident.
By 5:30 p.m., I was done, but the story lived on.
At 5:31 p.m., I received my first e-mail, signed, Jack Doolittle, saying he believed "airport managers knowingly and willingly refused to accommodate these Marines …"
At 6:19 p.m., Anthony R. Conrey wrote,
The story drips with bias: "Neoconservative National Review writer Michael Ledeen."
"neoconservative?" So would it be OK to say "US hating writer Erik N. Nelson?
"Conservative bloggers and pundits" followed by "Fox News?"
Yes, I'm guilty of putting Michael Ledeen and Fox News into those contexts. I just didn't think "contributing editor" was helpful for readers who knew nothing about Mr. Ledeen. As for Fox, their guy did, in fact, stir viewers to outrage on this story. It's not an endorsement or a jab, just part of what happened as a result of this incident.
Others were strictly aimed at the soldiers' treatment, one called attention to an error that we fixed online: Rush Limbaugh referred to "phony soldiers" who opposed the war in Iraq, not "phony vets." That one came with a subscription cancellation, accused me of reporting BS and ended with "Take a big left further from the truth and go to hell!"
That one was certainly clever, and I have to thank the person for pointing out my error and actually subscribing to the newspaper.
But it didn't hold a candle to this one, signed "Frederick":
I live in the state of Washington. Any Californian I find here I will ask to leave my state. I am going to remove the star that represents California from the flag. As far as I'm concerned you are not part of America, and all U.S. businesses should pull out of your communist country. All the citizens of your country should be contained within your borders, so all of you can live like good little communists.
Oh-oh. I just got a phone call from one of the parties in this dispute. There may be another story yet …

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only species in the genus Cocos, and is a large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m long, pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly leaving the trunk smooth. The termcoconut refers to the seed of the coconut palm. The spelling cocoanut is an old-fashioned form of the word.[1]
The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropics for decoration as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses; virtually every part of the coconut palm has some human uses. In cooler climates (but not less than USDA Zone 9), a similar palm, the Queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) is used in landscaping. Its fruit are very similar to the coconut but much smaller. It was originally classified in Cocos genus along with the coconut, but was later moved to Syagrus. A recently discovered palm, Beccariophoenix alfredii from Madagascar is nearly identical to the Coconut, even more than the Queen palm. It is cold-hardy and makes a good coconut-lookalike for many[which?] cooler areas.
The coconut has spread across much of the tropics, probably aided in many cases by seafaring people. Coconut fruit in the wild is light, buoyant and highly water resistant and evolved to disperse significant distances ...

Caribbean diving trip is family affair
Exploring the reefs of the Turks and Caicos Islands
But, with their poisonous spines, that's been a bit of a hard sell. Still, the fish are a delicacy in Asia and some restaurants here and in the Bahamas, just to the northwest, serve them.
Further on, we found a pair of brightly colored nudibranchs — a kind of marine snail — perched on an outstretched arm of fan coral. Nearby, a pair of lobsters hunkered down in a small cave, trying their best to avoid our attention.
And on it went. Over the next few days, we saw more sharks, plenty of four-eyed butterfly fish, blue tangs, starfish, boxlike spiny puffers, goatfish, moray eels and even some narrow pipe fish.
Bryant Lum, a Ventura ophthalmologist who was diving with his two sons, said he was making his third visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands for their reefs and the abundance of marine life.
"We especially enjoyed the rays," he told me later. (Darn, we missed those.)
Lum said he chose the Beaches Resort for its unlimited diving for himself and his sons, ages 12 and 15, and the other options for his wife and daughter, who were not diving.
Lum, who has dived up and down the West Coast and all over the Pacific — including Fiji and Tahiti — said the all-inclusive Beaches Resort appealed to his family because of its kids and teen programs, restaurants, water park and swim-up bars.
"We may be headed to Australia's Great Barrier Reef for our next dive trip, but the Turks and Caicos Beaches Resort is the only place our kids have said they wanted to return to," he said.
It worked well for my family, too. While Kathleen, Maddie and I dove, Anders, our 10-year-old, kept busy at the Kids Club with a buddy he met from New York. They took a "Bubbles" scuba course, where they learned the basics in a pool. And we snorkeled together, too, just off the beach.
Lum said the only downside for his family was that, unlike a five-hour flight to Hawaii, getting to the Turks and Caicos required a connection on the East Coast and a full day of travel.
Beaches Resortalso offers windsurfing, night scuba diving trips, a dozen miles of white sand beach, paddle boarding, trips to outer islets and other activities.
But one day, I decided to break free from the all-inclusive cocoon. I hopped in a cab and headed a few miles east to Leeward, where I met up with Big Blue sea kayaking guide Ben Zirin.
We headed out into shallow, crystal-clear waters between the mangroves, where we startled a snoozing lemon shark that bolted when we were nearly on top of it. A warm and gentle rain fell on our backs.
Zirin explained the difference between the black mangrove and the dominant red mangrove plant, which sends out roots from above the waterline. He also found a conch shell, complete with its inhabitant. But the best discovery was a slimy mangrove jelly fish that he placed in my hand. Fortunately, it did not sting.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
I agreed with a lot of people in New Orleans who said it wouldn't ever happen that a massive "hurricane would come right up the mouth of the river," as my friend from New Orleans said. Maybe, the reason I agreed with them was just denial. I had grown to love the city so much that I didn't want to fathom the idea of it being destroyed.I wasn't really fascinated by the tourist French Quarter or the other places you see on television. And watching images of my friends' neighborhoods engulfed by Lake Pontchartrain, it wasn't the city's notoriety or even urban grit that attracted me so much to it. What made such an impression on me was what I called the "real" New Orleans. It was the culture of familiarity, the tightness among its citizens, the way everyone seemed to know everyone, like in a small town. It also was the way, on numerous occasions, my friends and their families accepted me in their home and let me sit at their dinner table. No doubt, New Orleans has an impenetrably insular culture, where locals aren't just skeptical of strangers, they can be downright mean to them. As someone from outside New Orleans, one thing I learned is that you almost have to earn the right to be there. If you haven't, then you should probably stay hidden away in the French Quarter with the other tourists. I may have not earned my way into the parts of the city laying beyond the French Quarter. But because my roommate in college was from New Orleans, I feel like I got a special pass that got me past the guards who defend the nuance of New Orleans, the place where people live, work, breathe. After being immersed in the real part of the city, I realized that its isolation doesn't stem from cold-hearted toughness or mean-spirited suspicion. It is more of a veil that allows locals to protect parts of the city and culture from the over-marketed, cheesy depictions that appear on television shows and commercials. It's what allows New Orleans to keep its own world distinct from the more watered-down, tourist-friendly one that it projects to the rest of the country. While gouged tourists filled cash registers downtown, the rest the city's commerce seemed to consist of little more than traded favors. Knowing that the droves of tourists in the city would take care of the profit, it appeared the residents just took care of each other. People who worked in the courts or knew judges got speeding tickets tossed out. Police officers overlooked unruly locals while the visitors in town for Mardi Gras paid the big fines and spent nights in jail for stepping off a curb when they weren't allowed. A beer in New Orleans' Uptown district may cost $2.50. Downtown in the French Quarter it would cost $5 or $6. Once you find a connection or an "in" to New Orleans, its real beauty is revealed. Anyone can walk up and down St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District and be stunned by the architecture. But what is more startling is the open arms people have for each other. I come from a background in which people's generosity is usually kept at an arm's length, if not for pride, than for the sake of not imposing. When I've traveled to other places in this country, that was accepted social decorum. Hosts were polite and welcoming. But they always conducted themselves with some implied distance between them. New Orleans became a place where I didn't live but felt distinctly unlike a guest. Every time I came into the Crescent City, whether for carnival season or just summer drinking, Bart Bacigalupi, my friend and college roommate, asked and sometimes demanded, that I move to the city. Always, my response was that I planned to but the timing had to be right. The job needed to be there. Well, now I regret not having done it. Right now, I feel like I would give up my job and become a waiter just to live in New Orleans. I regret not joining the city, and I've started to worry that I'll never be able to return to the same New Orleans. I'm worried that like the holes punched in the city's levees, the storm will also open holes into the city that will pour what other cities were more than willing to welcome into their communities. I'm worried Wal-Marts and chain fast food will be rebuilt in place of the family-owned grocery stores and restaurants. But then I remember the resiliency with which the wary-of-change people in New Orleans have managed to keep the rest of the country at arms length while simultaneously inviting them into the city. When I think of that, I know that a city like New Orleans will not lose itself because of one storm. Justin Boron is the government reporter for the News Daily. His column appears Monday.

This is the original Lamborghini SUV
Lambo is about to announce a new SUV. So let's pay tribute to their first: the mighty LM002
Posted: 20 Apr 2012
Unperturbed, Lambo had a re-think. It turned out that the posterior engined layout -a mainstay of its sports cars - engendered truly shocking handling, so it bunged the engine in the front. Then the engineers realised that they actually made a pretty decent engine themselves, so they threw away the Chrysler lump and dropped in a 5.2-litre Countach V12.

This is a recap for The Top 4 contestants on American Idol Season 8, theme: Rock. You can see the performances here.
Last night's American Idol theme was "Rock." So, who better to the mentor for this week's 4 remaining contestant than he who was pulled out of a rock n' roll drain: Slash, who over the years has slowly transformed into one of our favorite TV characters of all time… JUAN EPSTEIN:
Best screencap ever, literally. (Screen CAP! Bye.) Hearing Slash talk is a strange experience. I always pictured him as being sort of Helen-Kellery: The hair blocking sound, the glasses blocking site, and mute. He was a re-re genius with a gee-tar, and we left it at that. But alas: He has a voice. It's almost pleasant sounding! And his hair We're just sorry Noop Dawg wasn't around to participate… because that would have been hilarious in all the right ways.
But onto the recap. Let's just say that even God didn't want this episode to happen, but a broken set/sign of impending doom isn't going to shut down this cash cow.
Adam Lambert "Whole Lotta Love": Oh, Adam. We were so hoping you would sing Queen this week. Instead, you went for the Zep's jugular. First of all, kudos to the AI make-up woman who used her East Indian foundation pallette to make this boy tan. But as "great" of a rock song as this is (not my favorite), Adam is still doing his musical theater thang up there. It's like Dreamgirls meets Led Zeppelin, a veritable "Rock Band I Am Telling You." Because just when you think it gets a little too rocky, Lambert gives a little shoulder shimmy and reminds us why we love him. I only wish he would have sung a song that, well, I wanted to listen to on my Ipod. I think I'll save my precious 99 cents this week for something more enjoyable… like a toasted bagey n' cc, or a lotto ticket. Meanwhile, Kara was rocking her Glambert look tonight, and called him a "Rock God", replete with devil horns thrown in the air. Does she really have to come back next season? RATING 7/10 (points deducted for song choice.) I was really hoping Idol producers would give Lambert a generous 8 minutes to cover "November Rain", though, in a way it's good they didn't:
Allison Iraheta "Crybaby": Predictable, Shmedictable. We have ALL wanted to hear Allison sing Joplin. And what's this? She's choosing one of my favorite Janis songs, "Cry Baby." Now be honest: How many of you pretty much only know this song thanks to the adorable baby sequence in Look Who's Talking? It's OK, my hand is up too. Let's see em. There we are. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here and fast forward to 8:00.) Tonight, I thought Allison KICKED ASS. Is it too late to add her to the VH1 Divas line-up? Because she deserves it. Though, might we suggest she "V For Vendetta" that mullet as soon as she can. It doesn't do her any favors. Also, the judges are pricks. RATING 10/10 (We're getting extreme this week.)
Kris and Danny Due "Renegade": Whut. What exactly is going on here? Is this a DVD extra of some backwoods inbred brothers from "O Brother Where Art Though?" WHY THIS SONG? You know, maaaaaybe if they would have sung "Sailing Away", maybe I could give a care. And what is Danny's necklace about? He sounds like Methface McDonald. Which just goes to show… Rock N' Roll is the devil's music. Oh, was Kris there? Didn't notice. RATING 3/10
Kris Allen "Come Together": Kris stated that working with Slash made him "want to pee his pants", to which we say "Maybe this isn't the reality show for you." Now, I'm not Kris' biggest fan in the world, but — FOR HIM — I thought he was pretty good. His crooky jaw was in full fx, but hey — it's a song I can sing along to! Points for that. Meanwhile, Kara, who was sporting a STUDDED LEATHER JACKET and a BUMP IT, told Kris he was "trying to hard." Just another case of the pot calling the kettle washed up. All this being said, Kris should probably go home tonight. RATING 5/10
Meanwhile, Slash had no idea what the hell was going on:
Danny Gokey "Dream On": Please, God, tell me Gokey wore diapers. Please. Because there is no way he sang that song without actually crapping in his own pants. The only time human should make that noise is when they are passing a stool — this is the way God intended us to function. And now, the only way I can coherently talk about Danny this week, a mini liveblog of the last 30 seconds of the song: WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. HE IS SCARING MEEEEEE THE END WHAT AM I LISTENING TO NOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS THE WORST THING NOOOOOGOOOOGOGOGOOGOOOOOO. EVEN PAULA SAT DOWN WHAT IS HAPPENINGGGG? DANNY WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY. In case you missed it, here it is again:
Also, Kara, "early Aerosmith" IS "Dream On", not "Crazy." That's Alicia Silverstone Aerosmith, please get it right. Also, how can they blame Danny for the genre… THEY PICKED IT. What were they expecting? RATING 1/10 (WE WENT THERE DEAL WITH IT.)
Allison and Adam "Slow Ride": Probably my favorite performance of the night. Allison looked adorable, and Lambert was Lamberting it up a storm. To be fair, if it wasn't for the Simpsons episode "Like Father, Like Clown", I wouldn't actually believe Foghat was a real band. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this song saved the night. Really, song selection this season has been about as bad as ever. Blame the contestants, blame the lame theme weeks, whatever it is, there's usually only one great song a night — IF you're lucky. And Allison is slowly becoming our favorite contestant on the show, go figure. RATING 9/10
Thoughts on the episode? We are almost through with this nightmare, America, don't give up now.

Oregon Fans Paint Sun Devils' 'A' Green
Few offenses, if any, in college football operate with the speed that Oregon does. The same could be said about Ducks fans' pranking abilities.
On the morning of Arizona State's Thursday night matchup with Oregon at Sun Devil Stadium, ASU fans and students woke up to see the normally gold "A" on Tempe Butte — a 1,500-foot tall land mass located partially on ASU's campus that's better known as A Mountain — painted in the Ducks' shade of green.
The current "A" has been on the rock formation since 1955 and is a source of pride for many locals, fans and alums. Locals did not take the prank lightly.
"It's like a knife in my heart," said 3TV traffic reporter and ASU alum Gina Maravilla.
Within hours, Sun Devils supporters had repainted the "A" black for the "blackout" game against the Ducks. If Arizona State upsets No. 3 Oregon, consider it karmic payback for messing with an ASU treasure.

Here's a real eye-catcher of a belt that does a few things leather belts don't. First off, it's crafted of strong, substantial wool cording that's woven in a tight, smooth braid. Looks intricate, precise, darned impressive – and different from the belts all the other guys are wearing. Feels good too – nice and supportive, but with more give than traditional belts. Plus, you can buckle it at any point, so you're guaranteed a perfect fit. The nickel-free antique brass roller and buckle give it a nicely weathered look, and the leather tab and belt keeper gain even more character with age.

Bought this for our son who as a red head wears lots of green. Runs a tad bit small. Very attractive and well made. Love the fact it's made out of wool which makes it look richer.

Miss & Mister Wild Rider go shopping
An interesting journey, with wife and on a DR650, (2500 Miles) to the middle of the American continent.
Here you see me sitting thoughtful in the middle of the American continent, we are more or less 8 degree north and 80 degree west. Located where Panama is divided by the canal.
They have big, wild animals. Protected by rangers that are equipped with walky-talkies.
Dangerous amazons can be seen along the beach.
So where are we exactly? Some kilometers east of the canal in a shopping mall.
And what do we do here? This is our chosen holiday destination for 2012. As a passionate motorcycle rider and adventurer one does not like to sit in a train or on an airplane. The motorcycle is the preferred vehicle to get one to destination. But what do you do with your wife? Did anyone ever recommend a, several week long, motorcycle trip on a DR650?
"No, thank you!" would be the reply. "I already purchased plane tickets to XYZ location." Goodbye to all the plans of riding a DR650. I had to take advantage of my situation, now! My daughter was on an interchange in Germany for several months, the family-dog accommodated at a friend's house and a substitute for work was organized. NOW OR NEVER I could leave the routine of my everyday live!
One had to be very diplomatic! One catches mice with bacon!
In Costa Rica nothing is cheap, in Panama everything is dirt cheap. At least that´s what I knew from hearsay. So I said the following to my wife: "Honey let´s go shopping to those dirt cheap shopping malls in Panama, we will save a lot of money!"
Some days later she showed me the shopping list. To my surprise she gave me the OK, without knowing how narrow a DR650 is. We did not ride more than 300km per day to keep the street low on her. My strategy was not to mention the small bike seat and the limited amount of luggage that a DR650 650 could carry, but to be a gentleman and keep the daily miles low. No more than 300 kilometers and then it would be time to find a cozy place for the night.
So you won´t see any wild offroad trips or...
Once it was clear where we were heading I started my research about Panama in ADVRider. To my surprise there was not much information about the backcountry of Panama.
It sees as if the riders that cross through Panama from north to south or south to north don´t spent any time exploring the back roads of the Pan-American Highway.
That´s when I got the idea to write my own trip report about Panama.
My wife´s plan was to leave late to still get some things done, so that the riding part wouldn´t feel too long. We chose the coastal road, hardly any potholes, for the night ride from Costa Rica.
First morning in the south of Costa Rica. We sit in a restaurant in Sierpe, sorrowful looking up. Who makes so much noise and dirt?
Half a dozen scarlet macaws were wasting food. One bite and then they let the rest of the fruits fall down.
We planned a hassle-free border crossing into Panama, that´s why we avoided Paso Canoas. That´s where the main border crossing is located. The plan was to cross into Panama without too much stress and long lines. After several miles on bad and unpaved roads we arrive in the small border town of Rio Sereno, in Panama. This must have been the easiest border crossing of Latin America.
Follow our interesting riding report!
To be coninued!
Ride enduro and more in paradise!

Rabello, thank you for letting me know. I will let a moderator know what can be done about the problem of accessing. That is very weird.
As far as people not wanting me here, well, I have to be here......it's my JOB! What I mean is, it's what I'm passionate about at the moment. I call the meat department the "scary foods section" of the grocery store. Most people don't see the former animal and what it went through to end up that way. I do.

Rabello, I read an article recently about the GENDERIZATION of food. Also there was some mention about the genderization of emotions.
An example of genderization of food. Men eat meat, women eat chocolate. Also, caring for animals is a female thing. Men who care for animals are considered less of a man.
Thankfully, this is changing. Men now take care of their babies...feed, bathe, clothe, and change stinkypoo diapers. A whole world full of progress is going to come out of that one change. Of course, it isn't happening 100%, but it IS happening. Congratulations to men. There is a cute movie coming out, I forgot the name.

Congratulations to some men, anyway. There are still obviously some men who believe it is their god-given right to be abusive towards anyone they hate, or resent, or get on their nerves. Woman-battering is still a problem regardless of what the "carnivores" say. "Men eat meat, women eat chocolate". As a generalization, I like that!

Christine -
You have been doing a wonderful job in this thread trying to spread the word about how badly humans treat our fellow animals.
You've been hanging in there over these weeks whilst the usual suspects have hurled every sort of abuse at you, jeered and made fun of your perfectly logical points, never bothered to even look at the many links you've posted, and just generally
As Rabello has written, they seem to take pleasure in being deliberately cruel to you, and they've tried very hard to make the thread about you and nothing else.
Well, I salute you, Christine, for sticking to your guns and not letting them get to you. I wish I could be as tolerant and understanding as you, but those people who keep posting that crap just disgust me. When I look at this thread I always skip over the tripe and just read whatever you, or Rabello, or arielg has to say. Because yours are the only posts that matter.
And as pointed out by Rabello, why the yahoos persist in messing up your thread with their rubbish is a mystery.

Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Facial Toner
Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Facial Toner Reviews
Refresh, Heal, Moisturize.I did WEEKS of researching products, searching for a toner that did not contain alcohol, had zero comedogenic ingredients, did not DRY the skin, and lots of skin goodies. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce: Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Facial Toner. There is some controversy about this product claiming to contain liquid oxygen (which is about -138 degrees), if you read the info on the website,...read more however, they do NOT claim this product to contain liquid oxygen, only that the water used has been oygenated (which it does via hydrogen peroxide) This fabulous product contains Vitamins A D C & E, Aloe,Sage, Calendula, Chamomile, Rosemary and Mint, SDA 40 ( a high grade purified cosmetic alcohol. Evaporates instantly, so it is used as a vehicle to transport important ingredients to the skin's surface and then leave them there; gentler to the skin than ethyl (rubbing) alcoholand may help kill bacteria) Allatoin (useful for dry skin and for healing wounds, burns, and scars) Panthenol (can soothe the skin reducing the effects of sunburn, dry skin, and certain skin disorders.) Sodium PCA (binds water to the skin) It has a refreshing coolness due to the menthol and peppermint, which could be irritating to more sensitive types. I use this as a quick clean me up and pick me up after work and in a spritz bottle to refresh throuout the day. My skin never feels dry, but fresh, clean, moisturized. Plus it helps to heal any zits that happen to pop up here and there. — 5 years, 3 months agoluxylexi | 234 reviews

Totally RefreshingThis toner smells (no fragrance, just the scent of the natural ingredients) and feels amazing. I use it as a part of the Liquid Oxygen 3 step system. It delivers vitamins and oxygen to your skin, and has really made a difference in my skin - it is clear and my pores are noticeably smaller. I carry a little bottle of it with me in the summer and when I go to the gym and refresh with it. I don't live near an Ulta, so I ordered it from the Neaclear website. — 1 year, 6 months agolenorewoods | 3 reviews

Best toner, Hands DownHands down, the BEST toner I have ever tried. It actually feels like it's working! It's pore-tinglingly minty-refreshing and you can see the residue your cleanser left behind on your cotton pad. No fragrance, which is great for sensitive skins, but if you did just extract any acne it will sting a little bit in those areas (it's killing the germs :)! — 1 year, 11 months agojingeeloo | 2 reviews

Ten things we learned this week
Tiny paper F1 cars, and Top Gear in North Korea: it's another weird week in the world of cars
Posted: 11 Apr 2014
There are still many good things left to be found in barns
Sometimes Top Gear worries there will no more barn finds: that all the glorious, old, rusted cars squirrelled away in sheds and forgotten have since been... refound.
And then something like this gorgeous 1954 Jaguar XK 120 coupe turns up in a barn in Georgia, USA, and totally restores our faith in humanity's ability to buy beautiful cars... and then totally forget about them.
This 120SE Drop Head has covered 60,000 miles, wears factory correct 'Jaguar Red' paint (along with quite a lot of cow dung) and is expected to fetch around $80,000 when it goes under the hammer in May. Jetwash not included.

Luanda — The process of assembling bleachers to accommodate the revelers who will flock to Luanda's New Marginal on 9, 10 and 12 February to watch the carnival parade is underway.
Five stands are being assembled, including Vip and normal , in extension of approximately 100 meters, on a Dr. Agostinho Neto Avenue stretch, at Kinanga neighborhood.
Various businesses, with stress to the Luanda based firms of Water (Epal), Electricity distribution (Edel) and rubbish collection (ELISAL), are involved in aspects related to sanitation, electricity and water.
According to the official of provincial department for economic activity, Guilhermino Paulo, said that three vacant spaces are prepared for the exercise of the activity performed by economic operators.

In baseball, a pickoff is an act by a pitcher, throwing a live ball to a fielder so that the fielder would tag out a baserunner who is either leading off or about to begin stealing the next base. A pickoff attempt occurs when this throw is made in an attempt to make such an out or, more commonly, to "keep the runner close" by making it clear that the pitcher is aware and concerned with the runner's actions. A catcher may also attempt to throw runners out who likewise "stray too far" from their bases after a pitch; this can also be called a pickoff attempt. A runner who is picked off is said to have been caught napping, especially if he made no attempt to return to his base.
A pickoff move is the motion the pitcher goes through in making this attempt; some pitchers have better pickoff moves than others. Pitchers in professional baseball use the pickoff move often, perhaps several times per game or even per inning if speedy baserunners reach base. Pitchers with more confidence in their ability to eliminate batters directly via strikeouts or flyouts use fewer pickoff attempts, such as Johan Santana. In lower-skilled amateur games, the pickoff move is less common due to the potential for an error if the pitcher throws wild or the fielder fails to make the catch. In youth leagues that don't allow leading off, such as Little League and Cal Ripken League, the need for a pickoff move is eliminated.
When there is a baserunner on, the pitcher will pitch from the set, one of the pitching positions. For this example we will say the runner is on first base. From the set position the pitcher can still see the baserunner out of the corner of his eye, if it is a right handed pitcher. If it is a left handed pitcher then the pitcher has a clear view of the baserunner because of the way they are standing on the pitcher's mound. If it is a right-handed pitcher there is only one main method of this pickoff move. This involves a quick shuffle of the pitcher's feet to turn towards first base and throw the ball to the first baseman. The first baseman will then attempt to tag out the runner. The left handed pitcher, due to their natural stance and the way they are facing, has multiple moves. The two main methods are called the "snap throw" and "spin move". The snap throw is when the pitcher quickly lifts his back foot behind the pitching rubber and slings the ball to the first baseman. The spin move is when the pitcher lifts his leg like he is going to pitch the ball but then rotates his body toward first and throws the ball. The pitcher will try to vary this move by doing this move while looking at the runner or at the batter, which can be deceiving to the baserunner. The final pickoff move can be done by any pitcher called "third to first" and can only be done if there are baserunners on first and third. This move is very uncommon and not very useful but it's performed by the pitcher attempting to pick off a baserunner at third, stop, spin and throw the ball to first base instead. Former Kansas City Royals right-hander, Steve Busby is credited for popularizing the "third to first" move.
Two active pitchers that are particularly renowned for their pickoff technique are Andy Pettitte and Kenny Rogers, both lefties.

They forced museum employees to lay on the grass in the courtyard and proceeded to climb the glass panel that was protecting the painting. They fled on foot, then left the scene in a car. The painting "Olympia" (1948) is estimated to be worth four million euros. It depicts Magritte's wife Georgette lying nude with a shell on her stomach. The museum is currently checking for fingerprints and will remain open by appointment only.

Rogers (1995) identified general factors that affect or influence the diffusion of innovations. This early work on program diffusion was based on a synthesis of careful observation from case studies. One major finding is that early adopters share traits that can be readily measured or inferred from behaviors or attitudes. While this earlier work was observational in nature and did not attempt to influence adoption itself, assessments can be used to identify communities, organizations, institutions, families, as well as individuals who are most likely to be early adopters of such programs. Thus identification of those likely to be early adopters and targeting prevention efforts to these groups represent a potential strategy to affect program adoption.
More recently, the same principles underlying research on diffusion of interventions and social influence have been used proactively to increase the adoption of prevention programs and test adoption strategies in group-based randomized trials. One approach used early in HIV prevention is to target opinion leaders in a community who would themselves deliver peer-to-peer messages to promote increased program adoption. Kelly, St. Lawrence, and colleagues (1991), for example, successfully identified and then trained gay opinion leaders in rural communities to encourage safe sexual practices. These leaders were able to modify HIV risk behaviors in their communities. Also, media campaigns for HIV prevention in developing countries are using soap operas in which leading actors talk openly about the use of condoms and getting tested for HIV (Valente, 1996).
A similar approach is now being used in approaches to youth suicide prevention; teenage leaders are trained to deliver messages to both peers and adults in their community aimed at increasing help seeking among suicidal youth. Suicidal youth are often much less likely to talk to adults than are nonsuicidal youth (Wyman, Brown, et al., 2008), yet the vast majority of youth tell a friend before committing suicide. A general strategy for reducing suicide is to increase willingness to talk to a trusted adult by both suicidal youth and their friends. One such program (Sources of Strength) is designed to change peer norms about secrecy and disclosure surrounding distressed youth. A first implementation step is to identify peer leaders from diverse social networks. The program then modifies norms by having each of the peer leaders identify trusted adults in their own lives to whom they would turn at times of stress.

The Gizmo Guy: Countdown to CES 2012

By Gordon Meyer
Here I am, wading through close to 200 emails from publicists wanting me to set booth appointments at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show that begins in less than two weeks. I've gone through this ritual pretty much every year for ages and it's worth it. You see, CES is much more than a trade show for gadgets and gizmos. It's a showcase for tools to create and display human drama in virtually all media and a preview of where much of our industry is heading in the near future. You also never know when you're going to find a potential gem.
For example, there's a company called Fulton Innovation that's going to be showing off what they call "wireless power" technology. One of the applications of this technology described in their pitch email describes "magazines with cover art that lights up and flashes while sitting on a shelf, as if by magic." I'm already picturing how this capability can be adapted for practical effects on-set.
Then there are the traditional exhibitors showing off the latest and greatest in audio and video technologies, including 3D HD camcorders, 4K ultra HD home displays and 11.1 channel sound systems. That's not a typo boys and girls. DTS will be promoting their eleven point one surround sound technology that incorporates height as well as horizontal speaker placement for an even more immersive audio experience.
Our friends at Tiffen will be there showing off the latest gels, filters and Steadicam products for consumers and pros on tight budgets alike. With so-called internet connected "smart TVs" becoming increasingly popular, we'll also be seeing a growing number of vendors showcasing TV apps.
These things should be important to P3 Update readers because, on the content creation side, so-called "consumer products" become increasingly powerful and sophisticated, often making them viable professional tools. And on the playback side of the equation, these devices and services are how consumers, the ultimate end users of the content we create, will be consuming that content. And in many cases, new products like the TV apps present opportunities for new content creation and distribution.
What can I say? It's a Gizmo Guy's paradise! You'll read much more about what I see at CES in just a few weeks. Meanwhile, I need to finish my exhibitor "hit list" and get ready for what promises to be a great New Year's Eve celebration.

And as BRK points out, the "1000" stacks aren't even labeled on the PTR yet. He says you can fill your quiver with 28,000 rounds of ammo (of course, you'd have to hit buy 140 times just to do that), but what happened to the quiver changes? Aren't Hunters supposed to get that bag slot back in 3.1 anyway?
It's all very confusing, and this smacks of a missed followthrough: the original Hunter changes as suggested were popular, but we're guessing something came up in their way (either the team was needed on another task, or some flaw in the system as designed kept them from turning consumable ammunition into a permanent item). Either way, we hope this gets fixed -- we know this is the PTR and everything is subject to change, but as it stands, it looks like we're getting a half-finished ammo system when patch 3.1 goes live.

Second, the pizza is oblong, resembling a tasty-looking skateboard, and toppings run the gamut from potato-ricotta to bacon-and-egg. Most distinctive, though, is the ordering procedure. You tell the counterperson how big a piece you want, she snips it off, weighs it, and charges you $11 to $14 per pound depending on the topping.

RF Online! War of 3 Races!
If you want real crazed MMORPG, why dont you people try the much awaited Rising Force online?
Summary of a great game:
RF Online, a Bitter Battle of 3 Races, mainly, Accertia, Bellato and Cora. Name sounds weird to ya all eh? Let me explain the Races.
A race totally made out of Cyborgs (Hardcore gamers is gonna love this.), Accertia people are made from cloning vats then, have their brains transferred into a Foreign Body, which is totally made out of Metal. They have the Strongest Power of all Races, yet, they can't use Magic. (What bot can use Magic >.>)
Take this race as your normal average life race. This race is almost like human, they are good at adapting to situations and stuff. Bellato is the weakest among all the race, but has the potential to become one of the strongest? Why? Mainly because they excel in both Mechicals and Magic!
Think this race of people as your normal religous people. This race uses magic for anything, everything they do is with magic. Seems like Magic is everything to them. (P.S Vision Explict! Cora females wear too little clothing! >.>)
Features of RF:
You can actually mine! This great feature allows you to mine all the way at night if your going onto AFK mode! Mining is a great way to get started on your cash. You will need a Mining Machine and Some batteries!
Each race has its own special ways, like Accertia's Siege Cannon, Bellato's MAUs and Coras very own summons.
Siege Cannons are a mass of Attachment that can be added to Accertia's Launcher. The Launcher, which have the higest attack ratings in all of RF's Weaponary is only exclusive to Accertians only. This weapon, although have a High Damage rate, but with a very high reloading delay. Accertia adapt to this type of situation by inventing, the Launcher Armor, in this way, they lose most defense in exchange for Attack Speed. (Dont worry, Accertia's Launcher Armor still has lots of Defense :P.)
Siege Cannons are used for Deployment for High Power Attacks but it disables the User's Movement. During Deployment of Siege Cannon, the User can't move but will have an Increasement of Attack Speed, Attack Power and Defense.
Bellato's MAU stands for Massive Armor Unit. These unit are big, aleast 2 1/2 the height of a usual Bellato and you can think of those as 'Gundams' in RF. This units have a Crazy HP of 110k, but it cannot heal itself in Battle. The Repair cost for repairing these Units can be as high as 700k to repair one and to buy one will set you back for 1.1million. These MAU units can dish out damage so high that even if your wearing a Lv30 Armor with a high Defense shield, you will recieve aleast 800 damage. Also, there are 2 types of MAUs, mainly the Ranged MAU and the Melee MAU. Both require Ammo (Thats weird.) and of course, Ammo cost money. :P.
Cora's Summons are the cheapest thing around. They are summoned using your FP (or Rather RF's Mana Points.) These Summons will attack, Heal and do anything you want with it. These Summons can be quite annoying for the other races to kill.
Anyway, All the race will fight under this thing called the Mines. If your Race wins the mine, you get the mine all way for a whole 6 Hours! There are 3 Areas to mine in, your Mining Portal, the Middle Mining Area and the Core Mining Area.
Your Mining Portal is where you get into the Mining Map. You can mine there, but the rate is slow, around 30 seconds for one ore. While in the Middle Mining Area, you will have a faster rate of 15 seconds per ore, but be advised that anywhere in the Mining Map is a PK Zone. Although your race people cant kill you, the other race can. As for the Core, only if your race wins the war, which happens 3 times a day, with 6hours for mining inbetweens!
More info can be found at this Link:
. Well, Currently, the Japan RF Open Beta has just ended, you all can look forward to the upcoming UK/NA RF Open Beta OR! The RF-PH which is also going to start in Dec31. All Info will be available at

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
Score: 7.0 / 10
When the Playstation 2 was first announced, Sony was quick to proclaim that it could produce "Toy Story" caliber graphics. Naturally, given the first generation of PS2 software, this was a huge joke, but we've come a long way. The video game rendition of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown still doesn't quite meet the high water mark of looking exactly like its big screen cousin but at times, it comes close.
I'm not sure how closely software developer Eurocom worked with animation studio Blue Sky to create this game, but they did a damn fine job. All of the main characters look pretty decent, even if their animations aren't nearly as detailed. But the most important character is Scrat, the squirrel/rat thing that you control most of the game. He runs, flips, and scurries up cliffs with the same charisma that made him the mascot of the movie. His cute and weird little sound effects add to the authenticity, as do the voice talents of John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Ray Romano, all reprising their roles specifically for the game. The landscapes aren't particularly varied – there are some snowy mountains, some less snowy mountains, some caves and some swamps, but they look great, and the framerate runs at a steady clip.
Plenty of effort was put into making the game look and feel great, but they didn't skimp on the gameplay either, even if it's not particularly imaginative. Ice Age 2 borrows generously from N64-era platformers like Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. The whole landscape is littered with acorns, the delicious treasures which Scrat is famously seen chasing in the best moments of the movies. While collecting these are optional, finding enough in a given area will unlock an interview with voice cast members. They seem to talk more about their work on the movie rather than the game, but this should hold over fans until the special edition DVD comes out.
In each level, there's usually some kind of task to complete. In a few regions, all you need to do is to find the exit. In others, you'll need to find a certain number of walnuts before you can move on. At various points, Scrat will run into fellow animals who usually need his assistance for some reason, which usually triggers one of several mini-games. These include games of penguin bowling, hide and seek, and whack-a-mole, as well as several shooting gallery challenges. While these are fairly brainless,
the most amusing is one is Sid the sloth's slide down a huge, icy mountain – not only do you need to dodge obstacles like a slalom event, but you'll run into several ramps which launch you straight into the air. The action slows down, the music turns classical, and a series of Dance Dance Revolution-like arrows appear at the bottom of the screen. Hit the arrows right, and you'll perform some acrobatics before you hit the ground again. It's amusingly clever, if nothing else.
However, the pitfalls of platforming genre tend to rear their ugly head. There are times where it can feel like too much of a collect-a-thon, especially since there's very little in the way of guidance, and some of the areas can get a bit large. It doesn't help that the landscapes aren't varied, as it's too easy to run in circles in certain areas. Although it's not the primary focus of the game, combat can also get a bit awkward. Scrat's tail is too short to use effectively, it's difficult to jump on top of bad guys, and hitting foes with your limited supply of pebbles is more of a matter of luck than anything else. Thankfully, scenes that require fighting are pretty rare, so you can run past most battles. Scrat has a lot of health, and even if the few cases where you meet instant death, the checkpoints are plentiful.
In fact, the whole game is just a bit too easy. Undoubtedly, Ice Age 2 was made for the younger crowd, so older gamers will probably find it to be rather unengaging, and it certainly treads on well-worn territory. It's also over rather quickly, with very little in the way of replay value. Still, it's a great looking package with a solid game attached, which is more than can be said of most licensed titles.

Unit History: HMAS Melbourne
Her keel was laid in 1943 by Vickers Armstrong, and she was launched as HMS Majestic in 1945. At the end of World War Two work was suspended on the ship until she was bought by the RAN in 1947.
With the extensive work to incorpurate the latest aircraft carrier technology she was not commissioned until 1955.
Melbourne was not involved in a combat role, however she did collide twice and sink other vessels, HMAS Voyager and USS Frank E.Evans.
She was decommissioned in 1982, and sent for scrapping in 1985. She was not allowed to rest and the Chinese used her for experiments in carrier flight operations.
She was finally broken up in 2002.

"Quoting: Ian Hatch Was there not a carrier called Adelaide or such that attacked American destroyers back in the 1970s? Or was it the other way round? Ian That was HMAS Melbourne and she was scrapped in 1982. We were going the get the first of the thru deck cruisers from the RN but that deal fell thru due to the Falklands conflict.

text: The rough budget times continue for Cowlitz County, as County Auditor Kris Swanson presents the preliminary 2014-2015 budget. In making her initial report at yesterday's County Commission meeting, Swanson reports that the initial requests from department heads have the budget $2 million out of balance for 2014, and $1.3 million out in 2015. Swanson says that they had specific instructions to keep the "wish list" to a minimum, but she says that the projected expenses still exceed revenues. The requests will represent a "challenge" as the process moves ahead. Commission Chair Mike Karnofski says that it's clear that some difficult decisions are ahead, looking at possible personnel reductions and cuts to services offered by county departments. This is just the first step in the process for setting the budget; later this month, a series of workshops involving each department will get under way. The first public hearing on the budget is currently scheduled for December 3rd.

Areas of Law Description
Our practice areas include:
- Family Law
While some divorces can be resolved amicably, many are protracted, heated battles that threaten to tear the family apart. Divorces are often mired in thorny, personal conflicts, such as deciding who gets custody of the children or how much spousal support should be. Our divorce law firms in Clearwater, Holiday, Palm Harbor and Largo are extremely knowledgeable about Florida state family laws regarding: Adoption; Child custody and visitation; Spousal and child support; Property division; Paternity; and, Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements. We strive to get your divorce settled outside the courtroom wherever possible by employing collaborative divorce and mediation techniques. But if the disputes and conflicts cannot be resolved this way, the matter then goes to court where a judge makes the final determination as to how best to sever the marriage.
- Immigration Law
We also support immigrants facing deportation or visa problems. We are committed to defending the rights of immigrants in the Tampa Bay area, and staying up-to-date on immigration law. We work with clients who need assistance with the following areas of immigration law: Family-based immigrant visas; Asylum; Non-immigrant visas; Employment-based immigrant visas; E1 and E2 visas; Removal cancellations; and, I-212 waivers.

SARONVILLE — A truck driver who failed to stop at a U.S. Highway 6 intersection resulting in the death of a Hastings couple Thursday morning will likely be charged with two counts of manslaughter, a county attorney said.
Gary Isom, 53, and Susan Isom, 52, died when the sport-utility vehicle they were riding in collided with a semitrailer truck driven by Kenneth Johnson, 53, of Eagle at the junction of Highway 6 and Nebraska Highway 14.
Two of the Isoms' children Tiffany Isom, 26, and a 16-year-old son were flown to Bryan Medical Center West in Lincoln for treatment of trauma injuries. A medical center spokeswoman said this morning that Tiffany is in critical condition at the Bryan Trauma Center at the Bryan West Campus. The boy's condition was not immediately available.
Clay County County Attorney Ted Griess said this morning he planned to file two counts of manslaughter against the driver of the truck. Manslaughter is a Class 3 felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
Johnson is currently in custody in the Clay County Jail with a $100,000, 10 percent bond.
According to Clay County Sheriff Jeff Franklin, Johnson was hauling a load of sand through the area.
Authorities were notified of the crash about 5:15 a.m. The four family members were eastbound on Highway 6, apparently headed to Texas to visit another one of Gary and Susan's daughters, Franklin said.
As they approached the intersection, Franklin said the southbound semitrailer truck ran through the stop sign on Highway 6, entering the intersection.
Gary Isom attempted to avoid colliding the truck but was unable to do so. The SUV hit the semi tractor's passenger door, Franklin said. Susan Isom was in the backseat, driver's-side passenger, he said.
Franklin said restraints were used and airbags were deployed in the SUV.
Road conditions Thursday morning may have contributed to the collision, he said.
