The Illinois State Museum is seeking friendly, energetic volunteers to help visitors in the Mary Ann MacLean Play Museum, the hands-on children's area at the Illinois State Museum. Applications are available by contacting Beth Shea at email@example.com or 217-782-5507. Volunteer shifts in the Play Museum are 2 or 3 hours long and available on weekdays and weekends.
Volunteers greet families and groups as they enter the Play Museum, interact with visitors, and help keep the exhibit neat. The Play Museum is designed for children ages 3-10 and their families to learn through play what it is like to work at a museum. Children can excavate Mastodont bones, load a jeep for an expedition, crawl through a cave, touch animal skulls, frame and display art, explore fantastic objects in the collections, and much more. Prospective volunteers must be adults or teens, complete an Illinois State Museum volunteer application and a 30 minute interview, and attend a training class.
The Illinois State Museum promotes discovery, learning, and an appreciation of Illinois' natural, cultural, and artistic heritage. The Museum's extensive collections and research activities provide the foundation for exhibitions and public programs that tell the story of the land, life, people, and art of Illinois. The Illinois State Museum is located at 502 S. Spring St. (on the corner of Spring and Edwards Streets) in Springfield and is open from 8:30 – 5:00 Monday through Saturday and from 12:00 – 5:00 on Sunday. Admission is free. Parking is available nearby and the building is ADA accessible.

HOUSTON - OCTOBER 22: Running back Wali Lundy #33 of the Houston Texans runs the ball against Tony McDaniel #96 of the Jacksonville Jaguars at Reliant Stadium on October 22, 2006 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
No offense angers its past opponents quite like the New England Patriots'. Last Sunday, the Patriots were beating the Miami Dolphins by a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. With just over eight minutes to go, the Patriots started a 16-play drive that ate more than seven minutes. During the drive, the Patriots ran the ball 13 times, with 10 carries going to Stevan Ridley and six over the left guard. New England put the game away with a field goal to cap off the impressive 77-yard drive. But not everyone on the field was impressed. "It was disrespectful to us to run the same play over and over and be successful," Dolphins defensive lineman Tony McDaniel told Brian Biggane of the Palm Beach Post.Seriously?"Normally when somebody's driving down the field you just think, 'Well, they just had a good run there,' but you run the same play over and over, as a competitor that (ticks) me off," McDaniel said.Teammate Randy Starks agreed with McDaniel... and New England."It is disrespe...

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Q&A
2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Question: front warped rotors and pads
Car has 18000 miles, bought it from Mercedes dealer. Drove it 3000 of the 18000. Brakes are pulsating and they say front rotors are warped due to staying on brake and new pads needed. The dealer certified the car and they say the warranty which I also bought the extended warranty doesn't cover wear and tear. They want 760 to repair it... what's up with such low mileage for rotors and pads?? If so.. you must have a repair shop for less... thanks for the response - desertswan
Answer 1
It's not terribly uncommon for Mercedes rotors to only last 20K. It depends on driving style, geography, and all sorts of things, but they are high performance, and they don't have long lives. Generally, Mercedes rotors are not resurfaced and need to be replaced for the same reason. If the brakes were that close to life when the sold the car, I really would have expected them to replace them. You can see that coming when you inspect the brakes, so you may want to negotiate with them on that. There are some highly-rated shops on RepairPal in Vegas: http://repairpal.com/dolars-automotive. They may be cheaper. - matte

I have the fourth pick in my draft tomorrow.
We play in a league that is points based and head to head. All offensive categories are there: OBP, hits, walks, the whole deal.
It looks like the first three picks are going to go this way:
This leaves me with a choice between Ryan Howard and David Ortiz.
I'm leaning towards Ortiz simply because of his park and the fact that he has been consistent over the past few years.
In our scoring system, each averaged about 4.9 points a game, so it looks like a wash, but does anybody have a way they would lean? Or am I forgetting about anybody else?
Travis Haffner was worth more per game than Ortiz, but I can't make myself take him at number 4, even though he was worth the second most points per game.

Kimaya Explores Love in New Non-Fiction Title
Love today is often measured by materialistic treasures, as evidenced by the increasing number of dollars spent to commemorate commercial holidays such as Valentine's Day.
Rather than looking to a pocket book for the meaning of love, look inward and to the surrounding world, says educator and love activist Kimaya.
In her new book, All the Flavours of Love, Kimaya argues that love is a gift that brings gentleness, compassion and a deeper wisdom about the things in life that are truly important.
"Society has a habit of promoting individualism and encouraging competition, which can be damaging to our long term health and wellness," Kimaya says. "Studies show that competitive self-esteem is related to larger societal problems such as loneliness, segregation and prejudice."
Speaking to the complexity of this human emotion in a simplistic manner through bright, bold illustrations and short lines of text, Kimaya spreads messages of love and positivity to children of all ages.
"My book is about the sacred relationship we can each have with ourselves, others and the world around us when we are centered in love," Kimaya says. "To see love in every moment is a gift that each of us - children and adults - can give to ourselves, and ultimately society as a whole."
Kimaya is a member of the New Zealand Author's Society, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and is actively involved in children's events in her local community. Along with writing, Kimaya's professional background lies in holistic health and wellness. Kimaya lives with her family and pets on a small farm overlooking the sea in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Breakfast at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver and a Dodger Dog at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles were steps along the way that brought Linda Alvarado into the ownership group of the Rockies.
The breakfast was at the urging of former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, who sought out a Denver landmark to make a positive impression. If Romer had known more about Alvarado, he might have known that a ballpark hot dog would have worked just as well.
Alvarado happily recalled the first major-league game she attended, at Dodger Stadium, and how much she enjoyed the Dodger Dog. Robert Alvarado, her date and future husband, invited her.
She didn't know it at the time of Romer's invitation, but baseball was coming back to her life.
"I didn't know what he (Romer) wanted to talk about," Alvarado said, remembering back some 23 years. "We talked about Colorado having tried to get a Major League Baseball team for a long time. He wanted me to be among a small group of entrepreneurial people to get involved in bringing baseball to Denver."
At the time, Denver's bid to gain an expansion franchise was in trouble. Team ownership had become a question mark and Denver attorney Paul Jacobs was working to cobble together an ownership group. The catch was that the ownership would guarantee collateral to meet the $95 million price tag for a franchise. Time was a factor because the group soon needed to make an important presentation to the National League expansion committee.
At the time, Alvarado ran the Alvarado Construction Co. Jacobs wasn't a stranger to the company, having done legal work for it. Alvarado was signed as a limited partner of the ownership group just in time for the expansion committee's March 26, 1991, tour of Denver.
"One of the strongest requirements for a franchise was to have a diversified local ownership group," Jacobs said. "Linda was important to our group not only because of being a woman, but also because of being Latino."
When Denver was awarded a big-league franchise three months later, Alvarado became the first Latino owner, male or female, in Major League Baseball and the second female owner in the big leagues. Marge Schott still was active as the owner of the Cincinnati Reds.
Alvarado found herself surrounded by men in the Rockies' ownership group. But that really was no different than growing up in a household with five brothers and no sisters in Albuquerque.
"With six kids, you almost have a team," Alvarado said. "I played soccer. When I was little, they'd let me run out and clean home plate at the summer baseball leagues."
As with any Rockies fan in the early days of the team, the inaugural home opener — played April 9, 1993, with 80,227 fans watching at Mile High Stadium — was a huge highlight. Second baseman Eric Young led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run, powering the Rockies to an 11-4 victory over the Montreal Expos.
"I just had such a sense of pride at that game," Alvarado said. "It was something new that the whole community could share.
"I had chills on my arms. E.Y.'s home run was unforgettable."
Alvarado's ownership profile isn't just about the score of the game.
"Look what has happened around Coors Field," Alvarado said. "Baseball has helped to revitalize that whole area."
She attends 65 to 70 games a year and on occasion can be seen conducting a tour of Coors Field for kids. She knows there's work ahead. Baseball teams have to compete every year. The Rockies have played in only one World Series, in 2007.
"We were a group that came together and worked together to get the job done," Alvarado said. "If you're not expected to succeed, you don't waste time listening to detractors."

California Girl
I just moved to Santa Barbara 2 months ago after living in San Diego for the last 17 years! My family is just 30 minutes away so it's kind of like returning home after a long time away. I'm looking for a real relationship and would love to meet someone I connect with. SB seems to be a little harder to meet people so I'm hoping this might be a good avenue. I'm looking for someone intelligent, kind, active, fun, balanced, open-minded, and values family…above all I would love to find a real man who has an "adult" life but still knows how to have fun and cut loose at times. I play soccer and enjoy running and working out. I grew up in Southern California but I don't think I'm the stereotypical So Cal girl. I've traveled all over the world and have an appreciation for other cultures… I'm outgoing and social but enjoy my alone time as well. I can be demanding and opinionated but I'm also really loving and affectionate once I get to know you. I want to find someone to go running with, cook healthy dinners with, face life's challenges with and enjoy everything life offers with. Oh, and someone who has a dirty sense of humor and is liberal.

The latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
Game 18: Providence
In just his second year as a head coach, and first at MU, Buzz Williams has become accustomed to being on the short end of the stick when it comes to sideline experience -- especially in the Big East.
Yet when his Golden Eagles hit the road to face the Providence Friars on Saturday, Williams will be matching wits with coach who also has just two years' experience under his belt in Keno Davis.
Davis is in his first year heading the Friars. He arrives after one season at Drake, where he led the Bulldogs to a 28-5 record and their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1971. For his efforts, the 36-year-old Davis was named national coach of the year by six different outlets.
An impressive resume, to be sure. Not that Williams needed to be reminded of it.
"I think they're all better than I am. I don't know that we've played a game yet that I've looked down at the other bench and said, 'Man, I'm better than him.'" said Williams when asked if he's found a comfort level as a head coach to this point. "Like I told Coach Huggins before the game, if I had won 75% of my games in Division I, and I was assured of being a Hall of Famer, I'd probably wear that Nike pullover deal too. Because he was making fun.
"He said, 'Buzz, you're going to have to slow down on all those suits and ties. You look really nice.' I said, 'Coach, here's the deal: when you're as bad a coach as I am, you better wear really good clothes, because when they look over there at you and you're getting your tail beat, that's the only thing that you have to protect your soul, is good clothes.'
"Coach Davis has lost eight games as a Division I coach. He was the AP national coach of the year last year. Coach Wainwright has been a Division I coach for 15 years. I used to write him letters when I was at Navarro College. Coach Huggins has won 679 games, and that probably moved him to about 75.2% of the games he's coached, he's won.
"I don't compare to any of those guys, and I say that with all sincerity. I don't say that condescending at all. I'm very fortunate to be where I am, know that I'm only here by God's grace, and we'll fight like heck to hang on."
-- Providence enters Saturday coming off a bye week, just as MU is.
The Friars are 11-5 overall and 3-1 in the Big East. They're also 9-1 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, with the lone loss an upset at the hands of Northeastern in the second game of the season.
Weyinmi Efejuku leads four double-figure scorers for the Friars at 13.9 ppg. Geoff McDermott leads with 8.3 rebounds. Both names are plenty familiar to MU fans.
"Providence will have by the end of the year five 1,000-point scorers. They have six seniors. Their roster, as it relates to their perimeter, is very similar to ours," said Williams. "Coach Davis has done a great job with how he coaches and how they play. They've lost one game at home, which is their second game of the year. It'll be a big game early in the season in relation to how they play, and where they're going and where we're going."
You can find the rest of the Friars' statistics here.
-- A scheduling quirk has left MU with byes on consecutive weeks. The bye this week, at least, came at a fortuitous time for the Golden Eagles.
"I don't know if it's going to end up being a good thing or a bad thing that both of our byes are back-to-back. I think there's no other team in the league that that's happening to, so I doin't know how it'll all play out," Williams said. "I think considering the roster, the way that it is, it's probably good that we had a break. I think what's happened is everybody on our team has gotten sick. That's been the good thing about the byes.
"Lazar got sick on Saturday and walked out on the court with me right after he took the IV, then Jimmy got sick on Sunday. Dominic got sick on Monday, Maurice got sick (Tuesday). So when we practiced, we didn't have either one of our point guards, so we had Wes initiating offense on one team and then kind of whoever got it on the other team. But they had great spirit, they were energized. School started back on Monday, so I think in relation to our first bye it's probably come at the right time, thankfully.
"School's starting, all our guys have been sick. So we had a good practice and I anticipate we'll have another one. We haven't had a bad practice since our 17th practice of the year. So they've figured out how we work every day, which is positive."
-- Williams was asked if the byes were timed poorly since MU had been playing so well, opening the Big East 4-0.
"I'm not smart enough to figure that all out. I think they'll be fine," he said of the players. "We may be a little rusty the first 6-8 minutes, but Providence has got the same situation as well. So that won't be any justification for whether we're good or bad. We'll just keep working."
-- A Texas native, it wasn't surprising to hear Williams isn't a big fan of the cold weather.
"I drive my car as close to the front door as I can and hop out. And then somebody goes and parks it," he said. "Then when I drive home, I drive it in the garage and shut the door."
-- If MU can manage to pick up a victory Saturday, it would tie a school record for best-ever start in league play.
The Golden Eagles went 5-0 in the Great Midwest Conference to start the 1992-'93 season, winning three road games along the way. Three of their four victories this year, of course, have come at the Bradley Center.
Five of MU's next seven games are on the road.
-- Stat of the week: Dominic James and Jerel McNeal have both put up 1,500 points, 350 assists and 200 steals to this point.
Only two other players in the nation, Chicago State's David Holston and East Tennessee State's Courtney Pigram, can make that claim.

D.C. United goalkeeper Joe Willis had educated guess on Kenny Cooper's penalty re-take
Nov 9, 2012, 1:10 PM EDT
One of the many remarkable elements of a truly remarkable two-game series between New York and D.C. United punctuated the entire swirl of chaos and rancor around New York's second half penalty kick.
United goalkeeper Bill Hamid took down Kenny Cooper, was shown red and then had to leave the critical PK rejection efforts up to backup Joe Willis. Cooper nailed the first attempt at his spot shot … but a small unit of Red Bulls had crept in prematurely. Referee Mark Geiger correctly ordered the retake and …
Willis did his part in the historic series, guessing and diving to his left to turn away Cooper's re-kick.
Or, was it such a "guess?" Willis had some inkling what was going to happen. Last year, Cooper had to re-take a spot shot for Portland. He went the other way – and United goalkeeper coach Pat Onstad remembered as much.
We had a similar situation last year [against Cooper]. He went one side, got called back and he went the other side. I was lucky Pat reminded me of that before the game and I was lucky that I made the save."
Well, lucky, yes. But that also falls under "diligent preparation." I mean, reminding the backup goalkeeper of a potential situation that was almost certain not to develop? Yes, mark that down as being professional and doggedly thorough.

Best goalkeeper to ever play in MLS. Pat Onstad.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. -Seneca
- futbolhistorian - Nov 9, 2012 at 6:59 PM
Damn. That is some thoroughness right there.
- rca26 - Nov 9, 2012 at 7:22 PM
Onstad will be managing some lucky team before long.
- Steve Davis - Nov 9, 2012 at 9:21 PM
On a personal note … Pat was always a class dude when we spoke, back in his Houston Dynamo days

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Danish gay activist Axel Axgil died on October 29, 2011 in a Copenhagen hospital following complications from a fall. He was 96. His long-time partner Eigel Axgil preceded him in death. The two, who had been together for 40 years at the time, were among 11 couples to exchange vows on October 1, 1989, when Denmark became the first country in the world to recognize same-sex partnership with almost all the rights extended to heterosexual married couples.
In 1948, Axel, born Axel Lundahl-Madsen, and Eigil, born Eigil Eskildsen, together with several friends, founded F-48 or Forbundet af 1948 (The League of 1948), Denmark's first gay rights organization.
Vivi Jelstrup, a spokeswoman for LGBA Danmark, said Axgil in many ways personified the struggle for gay rights in Denmark.

Texas A&M Aggies
Photos: A game-by-game review of Texas A&M sensation Johnny Manziel
Photo: Dave Einsel/AP
Texas A&M 47, Sam Houston State 28 (Nov. 17, 2012 in College Station): Johnny Manziel threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 100 yards and two more scores and No. 9 Texas A&M beat Sam Houston State. The redshirt freshman with the cool nickname threw an 89-yard touchdown pass to Uzoma Nwachukwu on A&M's first offensive play of the second half.The dual-threat quarterback then attempted the extra point, but it sailed wide right, ending the Heisman hopeful's day with A&M (9-2) leading 40-0. Coach Kevin Sumlin got a good chuckle when asked if he might lose Heisman votes for the missed kick. "I don't know," he said laughing. "I don't know that it will cost him anything." (AP)

In the words of its Japanese developer, 8bits Fanatics, Aban Hawkins is an "8-bit retro style Hardest Extremest Craziest Platform Action Puzzle Adventure." It might not be the most eloquent of descriptions, but it's certainly accurate.
As pixelated tomb raider Aban Hawkins players start the game with one thousand lives. It sounds like a lot but, believe me, they go very fast. Aban Hawkins is a 2D action-puzzle platformer in the vein of 8-bit classics like Solomon's Key; or, for a more modern reference, like Super Meat Boy. The objective of every level is the same: Find the key and take it to the exit. Just like the platformers of yore, it's much more difficult than it sounds.
Given his profession, Aban spends a lot of time in ancient ruins and, as we all learned watching Indiana Jones movies, such places are positively packed with booby traps and hazards. Essentially, the game does everything possible to make sure that players never, ever, ever let their guards down. I can't tell you how many times I've guided Aban past pits, spike traps and giant scorpions to reach what I thought was a safe location -- only to watch the ground crumble beneath him, as he plunged to yet another death.
Like many other action platformers, the process eventually boils down to learning from your mistakes and memorizing where the traps are. With every life, I was able to get a little bit further, only to be killed by another unforseen trap. Don't think caution will save you, either; Aban is punished just as easily for trepidation as he is for boldness. That said, it's only because of the relentless difficulty that success is so wonderfully sweet.
Sporting a truly terriffic challenge, great 8-bit visuals, chiptune music and an asking price of $1, recommending Aban Hawkins & the Thousand Spikes is easy. Beating it, on the other hand ... that's going to take a while.

text: Today began about as unwell as it possibly could.Insomnia reigned from 1:30 until 5 this morning; I get this way before major hearings, and today, I was essentially producing and directing the interrogation of the Other Side's witness, after his attorney grilled my side's for close to seven hours on Tuesday. The dog kept getting up, which alerted the cats, which may or may not have awakened Eleanor for her 4 a.m.-ish bath, and so on. I surrendered, and fed the little delinquents close to half an hour early, in hopes of getting some sleep before the 10:00 start time; I did, but the alarm came too soon and I had two other files to attend to before I could meet with my client prior to that start time.Still, as client and I exchanged texts in the 9-9:30 hour, we seemed on track; I'd get there a little before her, with still time to go over some questions beforehand. Until it came time to pahk the cah. I picked a ramp right behind the court building where we'd be spending the day, and, to shave a few seconds, I chose to enter through a different entrance than I usually do.Not good. For when I got up to the "please take the ticket" machine that then raises the entry gate, the machine uttered, or rather didn't utter, and thus produced the two words you never want to hear when entering a parking garage:

Muskego - A new park means new problems and Park Arthur, which has barely emerged from a wild place, is no exception.
In fact, the park at W17833 College Ave. seems to have gone from being wild in one way to being wild in another.
Complaints of broken bottles from drinking parties in the back parking lot have come in to Alderman Neil Borgman all summer.
"At least every other week, I get complaints of parties back there," Borgman said.
Dog walkers don't even want to take their dogs there because of all the broken glass, he said.
He has appealed to the parks department, but the response was that the parties will die down when the park gets used more.
Borgman's somewhat skeptical. It's a little hard to imagine that park use during the day and evening would affect the drinking, he said.
"The parties start as soon as the park closes," Borgman said.
Ultimately, cameras could be mounted on a future park shelter, said Craig Anderson, parks and recreation director.
But on a more serious note, dog walkers suspect drug deals are taking place in that far parking lot in the early morning. Drivers have been seen passing things out the window to people standing at their cars, Borgman said.
Police are investigating.
Any illegal activities might have stopped for the winter because the only remaining access to the park is from Martin Drive, Borgman said. The College Avenue entrance has been closed for the winter.
Borgman suspects that the park will be less conducive to illegal activity because police will be able to corner whoever is doing it, he said.
Borgman is now pushing for the park to be closed in a meaningful manner to discourage after- and before-hours activities the rest of the year. He wants some sort of meaningful way to close the park.
Vandalism also is rearing its head at the city's newest park.
Someone drove a truck up and down the newly created sledding hill, tearing 6-inch ruts in the hillside in two places, Anderson said. Parks workers put as much ripped up turf as they could back into the ruts, he said. The hope is that the grass will take root, he said. It's too late to plant new grass.
But the ruts are off to the side of the sledding area, so the new sledding hill will be ready for its first winter, Anderson said. The cold and snow should cover the ruts for the winter.
The park also may be developing a speeding problem.
Police have received at least one report of speeding on the park road connecting College Avenue and Martin Drive, two main thoroughfares, Anderson said. Again, with the connection to College Avenue closed, speeding should not be a problem this winter, he said.
"But there has been talk of gates," he said, and even of cameras that can read license plates mounted on them.
Cost estimates on both electronic gates and simple swing gates like cattle gates will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Board on Jan. 14.

Matt Mackowiak's Recent Discussions
Could the Chicago strike hit Obama?
On the Chicago teacher strike, President Obama is in a political no-win situation. While the nation's third largest city and 400,000 families are have been affected this entire week, the president has three options:
1) do and say nothing, appearing weak and unfeeling; 2) take the side of the teachers union, angering education reformers and his former White House chief of staff; 3) take the side of Mayor Emanuel, angering this particular teacher's union (and its larger parent organization), decreasing union employee enthusiasm for your reelection. Making it even worse is that it is happening in the president's adopted hometown.
In reviewing the options, politically, Obama is doing the right thing by saying nothing. The merits of the situation require that the mayor prevail, as the union's demands are unreasonable (they have already declined a 16 percent pay increase). The timing could not be worse, as the school year just began and the election is little more than seven weeks away.
Regarding the strike's impact on the election, it will likely cause a backlash against unions and increase the focus on the need for education reform - both of which will benefit Romney.See more

Webb, Kaine Lead Republicans in Virginia
Despite Virginia's rightward shift since 2009, at least one poll suggests that Sen. Jim Webb would start out a 2012 reelection race in decent shape. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, found that Webb would lead former Sen. George Allen by 49 percent to 45 percent, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling by 49-38, and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli by 49-39. If Webb were to bow out, former Gov. Tim Kaine would lead Allen 50-44, Bolling 48-41, and Cuccinelli 50-39. Former Congressman Tom Perriello, however, would struggle to hold the seat for the Democrats.
I'd be interested in seeing what other firms, like Rasmussen, have to say about the race. Webb won the seat from Allen by a 0.3 percent margin in 2006, and I speculated in a recent column for the main site that he would have trouble holding it next time.

I just saw this movie, and I have to say it's fantastic. Kate sparkles with kindness and fills your heart with the hope of going on another day because you just never know what's in store for you just over and around for tomorrow. Cameron melts into a sweetness that makes us fall for her, and Jude I think, it's the best role that I have ever seen him in ever. Even fell for Jack Black. He wonderful in this film. I give it a A.

Dreamy!I love using this at night for a gentle renewal. I wake up deeply hydrated and my face is glowing. For cooler months I find it to be a great substitute for Nourish during the day, but all year long it's part of my nightly routine. I love everything about it: the consistency, the pump, the effectiveness. It's a quiet workhorse in my skin care arsenal, as it definitely facilitates cell turnover and acts as a very gentle natural exfoliator without any irritation.

Thank you, Gov. Bryant, for trying to protect the people of Mississippi against gun control. There will always be a market out there, whether legitimate, illegal or on the black market, for guns, as men will always find ways to circumvent the law, whether they have good intentions or bad.
It is like former Gov. Haley Barbour said on "Meet the Press," "If you outlaw guns, then the only ones with guns will be the outlaws." So good, law-abiding citizens will become outlaws as far as the government is concerned, and they will find a way to get what they want.
Everything we hear on the news, somebody, somewhere, is always getting shot. Well, was that gun legal? I agree those children in Connecticut were innocent victims of something that should have never happened, and my heart goes out to each of those families - but that gun belonged to his mom and was legal, so what is the answer?
Like I said, if someone wants a gun to commit a crime, they will get it. So now the government is helping the innocent, but, yet again, we are the ones who will pay the price, as always.
People, wake up. The government is trying to turn our country into a world that was never supposed to be. This is still the world that our Lord provided for us, and he is still ruler of everything. Someday, each one of us will answer to him, not Washington, D.C.
